Chapter 98: Ch 98: Anneshia's Past (4)
After Anneshia went to the place where the souk jade was, she found her father trying to run away with some of his revived retainers helping him. But after the revival all of their strength had decreased quite a bit and they were unable to do anything serious.
Anneshia had a very easy time killing them once again and as the soul jade could revive a person only once now they were truly dead for ever. Anneshia was surprised that her mother was not revived but that was just bad luck on her part.
Actually this soul jade was not 100 percent accurate when it came to reviving but it still had a very decently high chance of 95 percent. So almost everyone was getting properly revived. But Anneshia's mother was really unlucky when she became a victim of the 5 percent chance and was not revived.
Just as Anneshia was taking a breather after killing her father, she suddenly found herself surrounded by some kind of barrier. This barrier was extremely powerful and Anneshia was unable to easily break that barrier in one shot.
Just as Anneshia was about to break the barrier, it turned out that this barrier was created by a foreign person using a powerful magic tool created by an ancient alchemist. This barrier only had a single job to do and that was to restrict Anneshia for a single moment.
As the barrier was successful in buying a little bit of time, strong people from various neighbouring nations started to literally sacrifice their lives to buy a little bit more time.
All this extra time was there to allow one of the kings who himself came here to activate something that had the power to kill or at least trap Anneshia forever.
But what could have such amazing powers. It was none other than Eternal grade items. Anneshia was not the only person in this world who had access to these items. Many of the royal families of the several nations were just as old if not older than the Annasteliana Empire's own royal family.
So all of them had powerful trump cards that were extremely dangerous.
So the Eternal grade items used here were called Ultimate Bead of Destruction and Wish Granting Feather. The first item was not a true eternal grade item as it was something that was created by an eternal grade item.
The ultimate bead of destruction was a one time use item with insane destructive powers.
One of the nations was lucky enough to get acquainted with an eternal grade item user and that person had gifted them with three such beads as a thank you gift for their hospitality. That way those beads became the ultimate weapon that this nation had in their disposal.
Those beads could be used only once but they were truly equivalent to an attack from an eternal grade item. So their powers were undeniable.
As for the Wish Granting Feather, it was a very special type of eternal grade item. This item could be used by a person only once in their lifetime as the cost of using it was their own life. And after getting used, this item would disappear and would search for its next user.
So obviously it was not a very good item to have around as the user needed to sacrifice themselves in order for it to work. But one thing was for sure, this item was extremely powerful.
But as everything had some limitations. This Wish Granting Feather had the power to grant any wish and it was even capable of bending the concept of reality for that to happen. But it was unable to bring an outcome that was impossible.
Also other powerful items of the same level were also able to somehow interfere with it to stop it from bringing the desired future. Even with all those restrictions it was still a very powerful item.
...
So first the bead of destruction was used on Anneshia. This item lived up to the power of an eternal grade item and was able to break through Anneshia's defence and was able to hurt her quite badly.
But as Elena's armour was also an eternal grade item, it was able to block quite a decent amount of damage. So Anneshia did not die from it. After using a cocoon break, she was better than before once again.
It looked like the plan of the foreign nation alliance had completely failed. But they still had their last option which was the Wish Granting Feather. But when the user of this item wished for Anneshia's death it was unable to grant that wish.
So it turned out killing her was really impossible as even by bending the laws of reality, an eternal grade item was unable to fulfil that wish. So the person immediately chose the next best option and asked the Wish Granting Feather to trap or seal Anneshia for forever.
This time the feather took effect and Anneshia suddenly found herself somehow getting merged with a different object. Which in this case was a dungeon core.
Immediately she tried to use her cocoon break to stop this process as her intuition told her that the completion of this process would bring her downfall.
But something very weird happened when Anneshia activated her ability this time. Probably because she was affected by a powerful eternal grade item or because of some other factor, her physical body was extremely unstable. So when she activated her cocoon break, she immediately lost her physical body.
From the outside it looked like Anneshia disappeared and got trapped in this bottomless hole. Obviously the king who had used the Wish Granting Feather was already dead and the feather had also disappeared.
Even this whole operation was declared to be a massive success as it was able to get rid of the massive problem that was Anneshia.
But they were actually not completely correct. They did not get rid of Anneshia and instead her soul had just fallen into a deep sleep because of what happened to her. When Anneshia lost her physical body, instead of simply giving her a new body, cocoon break started to do something absurd.
In her unconscious state, the cocoon break started to merge Anneshia consciousness with the two Eternal grade items she was using. The reason why it was doing so was to give the dungeon core less space in Anneshia's soul. Only then it would be able to get rid of it in the future.
Or Anneshia would be trapped by this dungeon for forever.
That feather was truly very powerful as even her mighty Cocoon Break did not have any way to stop the merging from happening. It could just make plans for the future where it would push the dungeon core out of her soul.
Just like that when Anneshia woke up a few millions of years had passed and she had become something else. Now her physical body was not her normal human body but the eternal grade armour and sword and became her body. And she was also a part of this dungeon.
That's how Anneshia's new life started.
