The murmured incantation escaped her lips, and as the flames floated above the Metal Sphere, Freya's outstretched hand suddenly opened wide. The distant purple flames instantly expanded, and a strong gust of hot air blew through her hair.
With her eyes slightly narrowed, Freya watched the rapidly burning flames. Only when the room reached a certain temperature did she slowly retract her hand, causing the flames to gradually diminish until they vanished completely.
Crack… Crack
The high temperature generated by the flames caused minor cracks to form in the materials of the entire room, and the Metal Sphere on the stone pillar also underwent some change in this high-temperature environment, appearing to have expanded significantly.
Observing the changes in the appearance of the Metal Sphere, Freya pondered for a moment before asking Fran Sith, “Have you conducted any other tests on this thing?”
“Yes, besides temperature tests, we also carried out reactions with other Spells and Energy Particles. However, it seems that only high temperatures can cause it to change; nothing else has any effect. This object has extremely high inertia and is difficult to transport artificially due to its ability to absorb life force,” Fran Sith replied.
“Only high temperatures?” Freya looked at the Metal Sphere as it slowly returned to its original shape after the temperature dissipated, as if an idea was forming in her mind.
While the two were silent, the young man who had left earlier approached quickly with a transparent bottle in hand.
The liquid inside the bottle was blue, shimmering with a faint purple glow as he moved.
“This is the Biro Flower Extract you requested, diluted to about one-fifth of its original concentration.” He handed the bottle to Freya.
“Alright.” Taking the bottle containing the liquid, Freya gently opened the cap, and a faint scent of milk wafted out.
After glancing at the color of the liquid, Freya nodded expressionlessly: “Although it is diluted, its quality is still top-notch.”
She then looked at the Metal Sphere that had returned to its original state and quickly took out a clever Test Tube from her waist pouch. She opened the cap and directly poured the liquid into the tube.
As the two liquids came into contact, they instantly bubbled up like boiling water, and a purple smoke ring slowly emerged from the bottle's opening.
The blue liquid quickly transformed into a golden hue.
Gently shaking the altered liquid, Freya displayed a satisfied expression.
Ignoring the reactions of the other two, she strode directly toward the stone pillar.
Although she had already sensed the intense Negative Energy emitted by the Metal Sphere at the entrance, as she approached, the distinct energy sensation brushed against her cheek like a chilling wind.
'With this level of Negative Energy, if an ordinary person were to come here, they would likely be contaminated and turned into a Demonized Creature within half a minute,' Freya thought calmly.
However, despite feeling a slight influence herself, the golden liquid in her hand showed no reaction to this concentration of Negative Energy.
Reaching the stone pillar, Freya held the bottle in one hand while cautiously retrieving another Test Tube from her waist pouch with her other hand.
"I'm about to begin. Could you please close the door? I might need your assistance shortly," Freya said solemnly.
Hearing the tone in Freya's voice, Sith and the young man stepped forward nervously and closed the door.
Immediately, the room, which still had some light, was plunged into complete darkness.
Watching the door close, Freya tilted the bottle in her hand.
'Sizzle...'
The sound of liquid pouring onto metal echoed from the darkness. In front of Freya, the previously pitch-black area was gradually illuminated as the golden liquid completely covered the Metal Sphere. Slowly, faint 'plop, plop' sounds began to emerge from within the Metal Sphere.
This sound resembled the beating of a heart. It also sounded like a drum being struck.
As the Metal Sphere resonated with these slowly emerging sounds, it seemed to undergo some kind of wondrous transformation.
Freya sensed the increasingly cold aura in front of her, quickly discarded the empty bottle, and covered her mouth and nose. She discreetly stepped back a few paces, while a thin layer of energy Force Field slowly enveloped her body.
'Rip!'
Like fabric tearing, a long crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the Metal Sphere in the pitch-black environment, resembling an eyelid opening. Within the crack, a bright inverted pupil gradually became visible.
"This thing is The Eye of Bickridge!" Seeing the slowly forming Slit Pupils, Freya suddenly exclaimed, "The Eye of Bickridge is a subterranean creature, not metal! Quickly use a capturing Spell; don't let it escape!"
As if startled by Freya's voice, The Eye of Bickridge, which had been slowly opening, trembled and unexpectedly soared into the air, moving with such speed that it charged directly at Freya.
Watching the eye hurtling toward her, Freya, already prepared, threw the Test Tube she had been holding directly at it while simultaneously dodging to the side.
'Smash!' 'Bang!'
The sound of the Test Tube shattering and The Eye of Bickridge crashing against the wall occurred almost simultaneously.
As soon as the liquid from the Test Tube came into contact with the air, it immediately vaporized, emitting a strong Blazing White light as if it had undergone a chemical reaction with the Negative Energy in the air.
The Eye of Bickridge that crashed into the wall appeared dazed by this intense light, and its bright Slit Pupils dimmed significantly.
Two people standing at the door knew exactly what to do without anyone reminding them.
“Mel, Sparkza!” A simplified incantation was uttered from Franc Sith.
A white thread shot from his fingertips toward The Eye of Bickridge.
As soon as the sticky white thread touched it, it began to spin automatically, quickly wrapping around it.
A black viscous liquid cast by the young man also adhered to it, directly fixing it to the wall.
“Chirping…”
A muffled scream came from the fixed The Eye of Bickridge.
“Is this enough?” Franc Sith asked with a strange expression as he looked at the struggling spherical creature on the wall, turning to Freya and inquiring, “What exactly is The Eye of Bickridge?”
Freya gently brushed off some splattered Blazing White liquid from her body and replied slowly.
“The Eye of Bickridge is a special creature that lives underground. Adult The Eye of Bickridge often moves in areas rich in Negative Energy. When immature, these creatures appear in the form of a Metal Sphere, possessing a life-draining aura and pollution characteristics… Moreover, when they are not yet mature, their metallic layer has high resistance to both Physical Defense and Spell. I used a maturation fluid to hasten this The Eye of Bickridge's development, otherwise there would be no way to move it.” (To be continued)
