As Izroth received the rush of system alerts after breaking through the protective barrier and destroying the coffin, he quickly glanced over the rewards he had obtained. This content originates from n0v3lbin•

'Oh? Items like this exist as well? Is this what they call having a hack?'

Name: Token of Fate(Soulbound)

Rank: Unique*

Usage: The user of this item can influence probability up to [3] times to ensure the best or worst possible outcome. After this item is used [3] times, it will be automatically destroyed.

Special Note: This item is soulbound and cannot be traded or sold.

Izroth's thoughts were not too far off from what the Token of Fate was capable of doing. From the perspective of a player, it was in all sense of the word, a hack!

Imagine having at one's fingertips the ability to make something display its best or worst possible outcome. A boss monster that only has a tiny chance of dropping a legendary piece of gear, suddenly, is guaranteed to do so. A skill with a 0.01% instant kill chance now becomes a foolproof one-shot kill. These were just a few ways to utilize something like the Token of Fate. In reality, the possibilities were limitless!

'It's a shame it can only be used three times. I'll have to make every use count. As for this... It's certainly an interesting skill to have acquired.'

Skill Name: Master of Skills

Skill Mastery: MAXED

Skill Rank: Unique*

When Izroth witnessed this sight, it caused him to narrow his eyes as he maintained a calm expression.

'The shadahi are strange creatures; however, even for them, the abrupt change in their behavior is too abnormal. If they're reacting like this, then... Can it be that they're moving to protect the spatial rift?'

Since the coffin had been destroyed by Izroth, all the energy that it absorbed was now being redirected to the spatial rift itself.

Izroth believed that there were two likely explanations for the shift in the shadahis behavior. First, the spatial rift was somehow damaged as a result of his attack just now. But, since there were no clear indications of the space around the spatial rift being fractured, Izroth pushed this possibility aside, which left the other remaining possibility.

'The spatial rift—is it beginning to stabilize?'

"Look, over there! Where did that strange-looking crack come from?!" Guan Yu remarked as he pointed towards the chamber's center.

"Crack?" Without slowing his movement, Halls over to where Guan Yu pointed and witnessed a bizarre scene.

Not far from where Izroth stood, there was a long vertical crack running along the air that seemed to constantly fade in and out of existence. The crack stretched at least five meters and appeared to be slowly expanding.

There were mystical red clouds that covered the crack's surface; however, it was gradually diminishing and unveiling what was on the other side.

Despite becoming the main target of the shadahis, Izroth calmly examined the spatial rift.

"Jol'Kil, Zel'Kan—don't let them disturb me," Izroth said nonchalantly as his gaze stayed fixated on the spatial rift.

Woosh! Woosh!

Out of nowhere, Jol' Kil and Zel'Kan arrived at Izroth's side.

"Yes, young master!" Jol'Kil and Zel'Kan responded in unison as they moved to intercept the closest shadahis.

'I hoped that by taking care of the coffin, the spatial rift would become destabilized after losing its connection to this place. However, it seems my thoughts were too optimistic.'

Initially, Izroth figured that the coffin was acting as a beacon point of sorts that allowed the spatial rift that connected the Shadahi Realm to the Mortal Realm to maintain a certain level of stability. But, as it turned out, the coffin was not a beacon. Instead, it would be more accurate to call it a regulator that controlled how much energy the spatial rift pulled in.

Most likely the skounae made it this way intentionally as a way of restricting and slowing the number of shadahi that could come through the spatial rift. After all, even if they were technically on the same side of this war, the skounae were not so naive as to allow that massive army on the other side to cross right into the heart of their kingdom.

'The energy that was previously absorbed by the coffin is now being entirely monopolized by the spatial rift. At its current rate of expansion, it won't be long until the spatial rift finishes stabilizing and the army of shadahis on the other side are able to cross through without worry.'

However, Izroth was not concerned about the army of shadahis. While they were certainly resilient, the Lesser Shadahi Patrollers could still be taken care of as long as the correct methods were used. But, that bound shadahi at the center of that army was a different story altogether. Even a shadahi like Commander Ekquilore did not come close to comparing to that dangerous existence.

'If that thing manages to step through this spatial rift, the allied forces outside the Night Lord's Crypt won't stand a chance.'
