Chapter 53: VIII Chloe's Heart
As Elijah and his friends were walking in the streets on the direction to the city's center, Elijah felt a sensation of someone observing them.
Just when he turned his head to see who it was he saw a silver wolf looking at him from the corner of the street, but the strange was that no one seemed to realize the wolf was there other than him and all of this only lasted a few seconds, because when blinking his eyes, the wolf had vanished. Seeing that the wolf really disappeared, Elijah continued to walk toward the store, but even so he was now completely alert when he remembered about what he had talked with Chloe.
...
Four months later, Four people could be seen flying on a rank 1 Dark Eagle, this eagle's body was about 2.6 m, and it has a wingspan of nearly 2 m. It had shiny black feathers, pointed beak and sharp claws.
"Elijah, why we bought just one beast and it was even a rank 1 Dark Eagle? It was better if we bought a rank 2 flying beast as there was so many beasts there and you still chose the cheapest one." Zaid asked while looking at the eagle with disdain. Hearing Zaid, the eagle's eyes shined with hostility.
"Zaid, what is so bad about a Dark Eagle? I always wanted a Dark Eagle when i lived on my family's ground and, if I were you, I would not speak ill of a flying beast when I'm on top of it." Just a Evelynne spoke the eagle made a subtle turn letting Zaid drop and picking him with it's claws as he screamed in panic.
While all of this was happening, Elijah was calmly seating on the eagle's back while reading a book called Compendium Of Artifacts. Reading this book Elijah had Realized a few things.
'Magical Artifacts are objects created and enchanted by a type of magic spell and are divided in 5 grades, while there is the Nature Artifacts which are the one born by the world and those aren't divided by any grades but because of their rarity and unique uses, is highly sought by cultivators above the fifth.
Next is the Prime Artifacts, divided into seven grades form red to purple. There is also a legend about Divine Artifacts enchanted with a God's Divine Energy and a God's Essence Artifact created using the essence of a God, but of course there were no registers of the existence of any of these two artifacts. But if i'm right...'
Elijah took the hammer Chloe has given him, the first thing he saw now that he was observing cautiously was that this hammer's handle was on the short side, on the shaft, there were fine grey lines forming strange tattoos. On the contrary to the handle, the hammer's head was rather large, spanning like a block of metal almost over-exaggeratedly large and on the middle of the hammer the several lines was forming the shape of a small heart.
Biting his finger and pressing it on the heart, and a thick red-green aura surged and gathered around Elijah's hand, thickening and increasing and all of this had made everyone there look at Elijah with a surprised gaze, causing even Zaid who was still being carried by the eagle look back with surprise.
In the next instant, red-green aura vanished, and the hammer appeared once again on Elijah's hand, but now the hear was lit with a faint pink light as the grey lines changed to red and green as it began glowing brightly before the glow fades. Inclining to him, Ava asked: "Elijah, what was this?"
"This? I'm just testing my new Magical Artifact." Elijah spoke while glaring at the pink heart glowing on the head of the hammer and stroking it with his finger. Ava realized it was more than it by about to continue asking about the hammer. "It's a gift of someone important to you?"
"Yeah... and it's name is Chloe's Heart." He thought a little before saying the name he had given the hammer.
Just as this time the Dark Eagle screamed as it dived to dodge an ice spike that was flying toward them. Looking back, the saw dozens of white flying beasts coming behind them.
"Shit, a horde of Rank 2 Blizzard type Magical Beasts. Little black go to the ground, we can not stay in the sky with so many beasts here." After landing on the feet of a mountain, they thought they were safe as they heard the flying beasts howl before they land on the ground and transforming into several silver wolves which surrounding them. Looking at the wolf on the front, Elijah revealed a angry look as he recognized that it was the wolf that he saw in Riverfrost City months ago.
"I knew that wolf was not a good thing."
