"Alright!" Bexia fastened the last buckle on Christine's Dream Bind. The collar itself didn't look fancy or eye-catching, just a plain black color. But once Christine put it on, she seemed different, especially with her shy demeanor, giving off a feeling of wanting to tease her.
"How does it feel?" Bexia asked. The artifact Dream Bind was a very unique item, and he had absolute control over it. If he didn't agree to someone else using it, even if they wore it, it would just be an ordinary collar with no effect on enhancing their spiritual power or soul.
"Huh?!" Christine suddenly felt something different. With just a slight sensation, her face was filled with surprise. She could clearly feel that her body was getting stronger, meaning her spiritual power was increasing. After all, she was currently in her spiritual form!
"Amazing!" Christine finally understood that Bexia didn't have any ulterior motives. This equipment really had a powerful effect and was perfect for her. It felt like it was tailor-made for her.
Of course, there was a reason for this. Christine herself was the owner of the soul Divinity, and the Dream Bind was a specialized soul artifact. They were connected, and it would be strange if they didn't match.
But Bexia didn't know this yet!
"Huh... Ahhh!"
Bexia suddenly felt a chill all over his body and instantly fell from the sky. Fortunately, Christine quickly caught him from behind. Otherwise, falling from such a height would have caused severe injuries, if not death.
Everything happened so suddenly, but Bexia knew why. It wasn't anything major, just that the "Battle God Will" within his body had disappeared. Naturally, he returned to his normal state from the "Battle God state" and fell from the sky after losing his ability to fly.
"Master...?!" Christine stared at Bexia, her expression somewhat strange.
Feeling a cool breeze, Bexia subconsciously looked at himself. It turned out that after losing the "Battle God Will," the energy that had manifested as divine armor also disappeared. His clothes had turned to ashes in the divine punishment, so now he was left with just his body.
"Uh...!" Bexia immediately took out a cloak from the subspace and put it on. He was speechless because his ring had been taken by Ruge, and now he only had this Shadow Cloak given by Black Blade to wear.
"There are no islands around here, and we don't know where we are. It seems we can only go back to Mandala for now!" Bexia frowned as he scanned the surroundings. He didn't know where the three champions had gone either.
"Follow the master's lead!" Christine never opposed Bexia. After all, as a weapon girl, she would do whatever Bexia said or did. Good or evil wasn't something she considered as a weapon.
"Then hold on tight!" Bexia took out the Eight Extremities Cloud Umbrella again. This artifact could transport them through space back to Mandala. The reason they didn't use it to go to Anzu was that the Eight Extremities Cloud Umbrella could only teleport to places Bexia had been within the past year. Any place he hadn't been to or beyond that time limit couldn't be used.
"Space teleportation!" Bexia opened the Eight Extremities Cloud Umbrella, and a mysterious energy flashed. Bexia and Christine disappeared from mid-air. When they came to their senses, they had appeared near the jewelry store they had visited before. There were many people around, and although Bexia's appearance was sudden, no one seemed to notice him!
"So this is space teleportation?! Master is amazing!" Christine's surprised voice came from within Bexia's body. Bexia looked at the slightly dimmed Eight Extremities Cloud Umbrella, put it away, and shook his head. "It's not me who's amazing, it's this Eight Extremities Cloud Umbrella!"
Of course, it should be Lady Cloud who is amazing, considering this was her creation. But this thing wasn't permanent. The energy inside it decreased with each use. Unless it was a critical moment, Bexia generally didn't consider using the Eight Extremities Cloud Umbrella.
Bexia pulled on his invisible cloak, feeling a cool breeze, and walked towards the nearest clothing store. He knew he needed to address this issue first, as the feeling of being vulnerable was not pleasant.
As night fell, Bexia randomly chose a hotel to stay in. His plan was to rest well and then figure out how to get to Anzu. After all, the experience on the pirate ship was not enjoyable.
Sitting in the clean room, Bexia and Christine sat on the large bed. Christine knelt beside him, eagerly waiting for Bexia to take out their spoils, which they obtained from Siren Molde.
Bexia had divided the items into two places. The potions and bottles were stored in his own space ring, which was later taken by Ruge. The rest of the items were in his subspace. Without him opening the subspace, no one could take anything from it.
"Master, there are many good things in those items!" Christine said, not because she recognized them, but because she had a special sense. At least from her ability, she could sense that there were powerful non-magical items among them.
"I didn't realize you had a love for treasure!" Bexia laughed and waved his hand, opening his subspace and pouring out some of the items.
"Master, with your fast cultivation speed, if you have enough resources, you can definitely improve your strength even faster!" Christine said, not thinking about herself. She wanted Bexia to take these items to help him enhance his power.
"These items are not the best ones. Master, take out the crystal coffin. That is the best item among them and it will be of great help to you!" Christine confidently said. Although she didn't know many things, she knew that particular item and had used it before.
"The crystal coffin!" Bexia was familiar with it, as it was the largest item inside.
"This will be of the greatest help to me?!" Bexia didn't recognize the contents inside. He waved his hand and released the crystal coffin, instantly spreading a cold chill. Even a thin layer of frost appeared on the bed.
"This is a great item!" Christine explained with a smile. "It's a special treasure from the deep sea called 'Frost Marrow.' It can enhance spiritual power and magic, as well as increase the cohesion of magic power. It was highly valued even in the era of the elves."
"Especially with such a large quantity, it will definitely help you quickly improve your strength!"
