Chapter 131 Twilight Seed
While everyone was focused on the moving mass of light, pondering how they should kill it, Raven stared at his Artifact with an almost stupid grin on his face.
----------------
? Current Chances to summon an item that can aid you in battle: 73% (Max: 100%)
? Available Luck Energy to manipulate: 59%
? Needed Mystique to activate Luck Manipulation: 13,500 units
----------------
'So I can use my power in such a way too, huh?' Raven thought, and quickly tonight about something else.
Whoosh!
----------------
? Current Chances to summon an item that can make your reflection vanish from glasses and mirrors: 4.003% (Max: 100%)
? Available Luck Energy to manipulate: 59%
? Needed Mystique to activate Luck Manipulation: 51,100 units
<Not possible!>
----------------
'How interesting. I can manipulate what item I wish to get from my Artifact, however, if I am too specific the chances will drop drastically.'
This discovery helped Raven look at his ability in a completely new light.
Like this, if he saves up enough Luck Energy and if he has enough Mystique he will be able to get whatever item he wished for! The only thing he has to do was to think about what he wanted and the rest will be done by a simple throw!
'Wait, now that I think about it, there is another way I can use my Luck Enhancement except for increasing the chances of things happening through luck.' Raven thought as a specific memory resurfaced in his mind.
'No, this is not the right time to think about that. Focus and kill that thing first!'
Raven quickly pushed all the unnecessary thoughts to the back of his mind and focused on his dice.
'I will go with the first option.' Raven thought and after a second he threw the dice, attracting the attention of Luna and the rest while also causing 22% of his Luck Energy to vanish.
Whoosh!
"Huh? What kind of Relic was that?" Arthur mumbled as he, just like everyone else, failed to see the thing Raven threw.
-------------------------
[Relic: Twilight Seed]
? Grade: Arcane
? Form: Complete
? Description: Seed of the Great Twilight Tree that has been born from nothing but pure darkness!
<Only can be used once!>
~~~
[Effects]
° Dusk Bringer: Upon pouring water on the Twilight Seed, Dusk Mist will be formed in a small area where one's vision is obstructed greatly but not completely! Dusk Mist will remain until no water is poured on the Twilight Seed!
° Great Darkness: If the Twilight Seed is fed with enough Mystique, it will sprout and grow into a sapling that can summon the Great Darkness in a large area. Within the Great Darkness, sight is completely obstructed!
° Curse of the Great Twilight Tree: Anyone within the Great Darkness will have their Mystique consumed by the sapling of the Great Twilight Tree!

"Twilight Seed... So even such a thing can be a Relic.' Raven thought silently as in his hand he held a small purplish-black seed that had this small layer of darkness swirling around it.
It seemed this little thing is what can aid and help them kill that thing lurking in the reflections.
"Hey guys, I think I have a way to kill that thing. However, it can be a little risky as I don't know if it will work." Raven suddenly said as he kept his gaze on the creature hidden within the reflection.
Ever since it attacked them it did nothing but move in circles around them, acting as if it was a shark swimming around its prey, waiting for the best moment to strike.
"What do you have in mind?" Felix asked calmly, his eyes resting on the purplish black seed in Raven's hand.
Ravn nodded and quickly described the seed's use while he also explained the plan he had in mind.
"What do you guys think?" Raven asked after he finished talking.
"As you said, it is quite risky to do but as we have our Avatar Totem it is doable," Canwin mumbled.
"I have to agree. However, who will act as the bait?" Arthur asked before Luna raised a hand gently.
"I will do i-"
"No. It's better if I do it." Felix quickly cut Luna off and said, "With my Artifact, even if things go south I can escape in time without losing my Avatar Totem. As for you, if things turn from bad to worst your only chance to survive is your Avatar Totem which although can save your life cannot do it twice."
Luna wished to say something, but as she knew Felix spoke logically she agreed with a nod and remained silent.
"Then let's do it!" Raven said as he looked at the handsome guy beside him while Felix dashed into the distance like a bolt of lightning
The creature, seeing that one of its prey wished to escape quickly made a sharp turn and wished to stop him by assaulting Felix's reflection, but weirdly was forced to stop and dodge to the side by a glowing throwing star thrown by Canwin.
"Now!" Raven shouted which resulted in the group around him scattering in every direction with great speed without a second thought.
The creature seeing as its prey happened to escape became agitated and with great speed zoomed after the one who attacked him first; Canwin.
"And where do you think you are going, huh?" Felix, who just a moment ago was several hundred meters away suddenly appeared right above the mass of light and swung his hand.
Swish!
Crack!
With a silver flash, Felix's weapon cut the spot where the creature was, shattering the ground in the process without damaging his own reflection in the process!
"Tsk!"
Watching as the creature successfully dodged his attack Felix clicked his tongue in annoyance before he swung his weapon once again, targeting the creature several meters away from him once again, just as his previous attempt failed to land on its target.
However, despite failing on killing the creature, a smile still formed on Felix's face, and without a second thought began to run into the distance.
'Good! It fell for it!' Raven felt delighted and looked at Dax.
"Just leave this to me."
Luna, who stood not far away from Raven spoke softly and once the nail on her right index finger grew in size to the point it looked like a thin and long blade, she leaned scarcely forward and with a powerful stomp dashed after Felix.
Whoosh!
With a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye,e Luna appeared near the still running Felix and the chasing mass of light, and once she was less than fifty meters away from the two she pierced her sharp nail into the ground, which strangely didn't shatter.
Upon seeing this a smile formed on Luna's beautiful face and with a speed that was twice as fast as before she turned into a blur, instantly circling Felix and the chasing creature.
"Done." appearing next to Raven, Luna nodded softly while her armor's chest plate heaved up and down slightly.
Glancing at his little sister with a serious face Raven nodded and shifted his attention to Arthur and Dax.
"Do it!"
"Roger!" both Arthur and Dax nodded with a grim expression before the two raised their Artifact.
"Domain Creation; Zero Gravity!" Arthur pointed his wand toward the sky and in the next second, a large circle akin to a magic circle from fantasy novels appeared right above Felix, who still dodged the creature's attacks without leaving the line made by Luna ok the ground!
And once the circle was perfectly formed, the platform which on Felix stood began to slowly ascend toward the sky!
It seemed Luna not only cut the glassy surface of the ground but also sliced deep into the ground below which was terrifying to think about! Such a feat required great control over one's strength, incredible precision, and a powerful ability to cut through solid surfaces like tofu!
Now Raven understood why Luna became so exhausted despite just running for a few seconds!
"Let's dance!" Dax laughed and with a swift and smooth motion began to play his violin, filling the air with the sound of heavenly music that felt both pleasant to one's ear and also created a dome around the now floating small "island" in the sky!
"This way that bastard won't be able to escape unless it can go through solid materials!" Dax showed a cunning smile as he kept playing his violin as if he was in a concert with hundreds of thousands of fans around.
"Let's finish this!" Raven shouted as he leaped into the air and once he was above the barrier, which had a small gap at the top, he threw his already sprouting Twilight Seed through it.
[Mystique: 304 -> 42]
Whoosh!
BAM!
"NOW!"
And exactly a second after his voice fell, Helena's figure materialized at the bottom of the floating platform out of nowhere and flexed her first, causing her muscles to bulge with great power.
BOOOOOOOM!
"Burn!"
After the whole thing exploded into bits thanks to Helena's punch, Min Chen summoned a massive dragon to her side which at her command spit out a large pillar of lighting that turned all the chunks of debris into nothing but dust!
