853 That was easy
There were no other tracks of demonic energy to follow once we made our way to this clearing.
At the very least, I knew that the dark crystal would be in this place.
It was just that I didn't know exactly where it was.
With the royal guards clearing out the goblins in the surrounding area, it wasn't a problem for us to clear out this clearing for us to search.
It was just that there was quite a bit of ground for us to cover and there was no telling when another monster would arrive.
The only thing that we could do was just search this place by digging in the different parts of the clearing.
Only by searching this entire area would we be able to find the dark crystal that was hiding somewhere here.
Of course, it wasn't as if everyone was able to search during this time. After all, we were still in the middle of the forest that was filled with monsters wandering around.
Half of us had to form a blockade on the edges of the forest while half of us dug in the clearing for the dark crystal.
It didn't take us long to find the dark crystal like this.
During this time, there weren't even any goblins that came to attack us.
It was as if they had learned from the mistakes and didn't dare attack us even though we were causing such a large commotion.
We could see the goblins even going out of their way to avoid the area that we were digging in. It was almost as if they were afraid to have anything to do with us with the way that they avoided us.
So we were able to dig without any interruptions.
The digging went smoothly, it just took a while before we were able to find the dark crystal since it was buried quite deep into the ground. We hadn't been digging deep enough at first, but we were eventually able to find it.
The next problem was…
"What do we do with this thing?" Scar asked me.
Of course, it wasn't as if he asked me this as soon as they found the dark crystal.
Rather, they had already tried many different things to destroy this dark crystal.
However, they weren't able to make a dent on the dark crystal no matter how they tried attacking it. It was as if it was made out of the hardest material ever as they couldn't make a single dent, even with the powerful weapons that they had.
Those mithril rune engraved weapons snapped when they were used in an attempt to destroy the dark crystal.
So there was no other choice but to turn to me.
I hadn't been paying attention since I had been looking at the goblins that were gathered at the edge of the clearing. They were watching us play around with the dark crystal, as if they wanted to take this thing for themselves.
But the guards that were at the edge of the clearing were enough to scare the goblins away.
I didn't have any idea what this dark crystal was, but it was clear that there was something about it that attracted these monsters.
Since Scar and the others weren't able to do anything about it, I went over to the dark crystal to take a look at it.
Though in reality, it wasn't as if I knew anything about dealing with this thing.
I had no idea what this dark crystal even was since it had never really appeared in the game before other than in the lore texts, so I really didn't know what this thing really was.
But the moment that I went over, I found that there was an attraction from my finger.
I looked down at the ring on my finger and then looked at the dark crystal.
I had already guessed that I would need to use this ring to deal with these dark crystals before, but I didn't know if that guess was correct. Now that there was this attraction from the ring, it seemed like that guess was indeed correct.
Only…how was I supposed to use the ring?
After thinking for a bit, I waved my hand at Scar and the others to say, "Move out of the way for a bit."
Scar and the others looked at me with a confused look when they heard this, but they still moved out of the way in the end.
Though they didn't move that far since they wanted to stay close just in case anything happened. They wanted to remain at a distance where they would be able to help if something did happen.
Scar and the others still had worried looks, but they waited to see what happened in the end.
14:56
I walked up in front of the dark crystal and just raised my hand.
I didn't know what to expect from doing this, but I found that there was this dark energy that suddenly came out of the crystal.
When this happened, Scar and the others were about to move forward as if they were going to protect me, but I raised my hand to stop them.
I gave them a look as if everything was alright before turning back to look at the crystal that was turning less and less dark as the dark energy was being drained out of it.
Scar and the others still had worried looks, but they waited to see what happened in the end.
After draining all of the darkness out of the crystal, the attraction from the ring on my finger disappeared.
It seemed that whatever had been attracting the ring had disappeared from the crystal.
At the same time, the goblins that had been around us reacted.
After a moment of pause, the goblins all wandered off in different directions as if what had been attracting them before had disappeared without a trace.
It seemed that by draining the dark energy out of the crystal, it had stopped whatever was attracting the monsters…
That was easy…
It was too easy…
I couldn't help feeling worried because of it.
