266 How Strong Is Xu Yuan?
Su Wan gazed at the crystal core, which emanated a bluish light. Her face was solemn.
This crystal was the key to breaking the seal and freeing the Fire Elemental Lord. It was also the key to their rewards.
Su Wan gestured to the giant lizard to take down the crystal core. To everyone’s surprise, the giant lizard couldn’t get within five meters of the altar.
It couldn’t get through the force field at all.
Su Wan frowned. She commanded a Battleaxe Warrior to try. The outcome was the same.
Perhaps it required someone of stronger mana! The crystal had been stored here for so many years. The power was so great that it created a force field that nobody could pass through.
She glanced at Xu Yuan. He was the only one who could lift the crystal. “Xu Yuan, please help…”
Xu Yuan approached the crystal. The blue light repelled him. A gray light emanated from Xu Yuan and poured into the crystal. The gray energy devoured the blue one slowly.
Su Wan was startled. She thought the crystal was trying to devour Xu Yuan’s soul.
After a while, the blue light became fainter as it was overpowered by Xu Yuan’s aura. The crystal floated on the altar, moving slightly toward him.
Su Wan felt like she could finally breathe. Everyone was surprised. Xu Yuan slowly let go of the crystal. It did not fall on the ground but remained floating.
It floated toward Xu Yuan. It gently collided with him. The gray had devoured it whole.
Su Wan was stunned. The crystal had turned entirely gray. ‘Did Xu Yuan want to take the crystal for himself?’
The gray was gradually turning black like ink spreading on a sheet of paper. The crystal now absorbed the dark energy rapidly.
No one knew how much energy was needed to forge an SSS-grade crystal that controlled the whole Arcana Hall of the Magic Tower.
If the mages who built the Arcana Hall saw Xu Yuan taking control of the crystal, they would surely be furious.
However, the central crystal was now a dead object. No matter how much energy it had possessed before, it was useless now.
The mages who created the Arcane Hall would never have thought that a Dark Demon Dragon would take control of the crystal and devour it whole.
The boundless bluish energy of the crystal was quickly consumed by the dark energy. Su Wan was excited but also worried. If the energy of the crystal was devoured in this manner, what would happen to the Arcana Hall? Would Xu Yuan be able to control the whole Arcana Hall?
While Su Wan’s mind was filled with questions, the magic barrier around the altar dissipated. When the last of the bluish energy disappeared, the crystal turned black.
Xu Yuan used the True Eye of the Demon Dragon on the crystal. Its attributes had changed.
[Crystal of Gloom (Bound to Xu Yuan, can be shared with Su Wan)]
[Level: SSS]
[Characteristic: Soul phylactery, can be used to revive troops without any loss.]

[Note: It has a strong magic tolerance, even if it is used to cast forbidden spells.]
Xu Yuan didn’t show much of a reaction, but Su Wan almost jumped for joy. The abilities of the crystal were amazing! Energy Storage and Mana Imprisonment were both top-tier abilities.
The amount of mana was always an important factor in measuring the combat power of a spell caster. With the support of the Crystal of Gloom, combat strength could soar to new heights.
Su Wan was in a good mood. She was prepared to treat Xu Yuan to a nice meal and a few kisses when they returned to their territory.
A crisp sound interrupted Su Wan’s thoughts. Everyone turned. A deep crack appeared on the altar that had held the crystal before.
Every cell in Su Wan’s body warned her of danger. Once the crystal left the altar, the area would collapse within ten minutes!
The Fire Elemental Lord’s words lingered in her ears. She felt goosebumps appear on her skin. If they continued to delay, they would all die!
