บท 98: Lightning Trial

John hastily retreated and pulled out his scythe, but was unable to find the source of the voice.

"Who's there?" John asked as he scanned the room closely.

"You can put your weapon away. I am unable to harm you," the voice responded in a monotone tone.

Unwilling to believe the voice, John kept his scythe out, continually scanning for any threats.

"I am the artifact spirit in charge of monitoring this temple. As I said earlier, you should leave this place. You have no chance to obtain the opportunity here."

John thought about it and put away his scythe after some time.

'I guess it's like the voice we heard back in that first palace. I suppose it's telling the truth. But I can't just leave this place before finding out what it is. Besides, he said I have no chance to get the opportunity, not that one doesn't exist. So there must be something good to obtain here.''
