Chapter 51 Part 1) Using The Astral Store
🕑 Added 2024-03-22 17:09:57 +0000 UTC--AN) Believe it or not, this is the start of Volume 6! - -
Since they were currently expanding the base, and there were no new signs of attack from the Demon Queen of Darkness, Desaray returned to Serenity. She was currently sitting in her room with Lily drawing pictures on the table next to her. “I really have a lot of gold….”
Desaray looked at the gold she had accumulated all this time. There was over five billion in gold. The consistent dungeon raids had made her very rich and this was just her personal wealth. “Maybe I should try the astral shop once again…”
Desaray just wanted to see if there was anything good in the shop now. She had not checked in since she first gained access to it. She brought the shop interface up and began looking through it. “Let’s see…. Elixir of Ethereal Sight costs seventy-five astral points and will allow me to see the ethereal plane for an hour, revealing the hidden spirits and astral residues. It will allow me to see hidden threats and even speak to the spirits that have passed on.
“Not bad, but I don’t really have a use for it at this time… next in the list here is Stardust Pouch…. It costs two hundred astral points and is a small pouch that contains stardust. When thrown it will allow the user and three others to teleport a short distance in any direction. Perfect for quick escapes or crossing dangerous terrains….
“This is actually quite useful. I will buy this….” Desaray felt this would come in really handy at some point. Even in dungeons, this might help them get past obstacles and other things that might bar their path.
“Next up is….” Desaray was really interested in this shop now that she had money to burn. She was like a little kid in a candy store. But what she could not udnerstand was why were the most normal items for a person so much more expensive than some of these other things. Like for example, the Galactic Compass. It cost five hundred astral points but was insanely useful. It was a compass, but it did not point north. Instead, it guided the holder to the nearest source of powerful magic. It was a treasure hunter’s dream item. It could allow you to find powerful treasures. It would help you avoid or find magical anomalies anywhere in the world. “I will be buying this. It may help us track down the Demon Queen of Darkness….”
There were other items as well that were very useful. The more Desaray looked the more her finger was hitting the add to cart button. The next thing she bought was the Astral Cloak. It cost seven hundred and fifty astral points. It was a shimmering cloak that blended in the wearer into their surroundings when in starlight or moonlight. This would render them nearly invisible. Expensive, but she figured it would be useful for Lily for times when magic would not work.
Desaray even found a novelty item that seemed more for fun than anything. It was called the celestial map. It cost one thousand five hundred astral points, but it was interesting enough for her to buy it. It was an enchanted map that showed the celestial alignment of stars in real-time. She did not know the real purpose of the map, but it seemed like something she could enjoy watching if she put it up on her wall.
She also bought an item called the Quantum Locker. It cost over five thousand astral points, but it was very handy. It was basically an item box. But only the owner could retrieve items from it. Once bought, it would merge into the buyer’s skin. And with just a thought, you could store items in it.
There were so many items in the shop that Desaray was having a hard time choosing which ones she wanted to use, like the Temporal Dial, which allowed the user to stop time for one minute. It cost over ten billion astral points. Or the constellation blade that cost one hundred million astral points, which allowed you to cut though any barrier. Desaray did not hesitate to buy this sword. She figured it would also be a handy item later on.
There were even very dangerous items like the Singularity Sphere that cost over one trillion astral points. It would all you to create a black hole anywhere, but the strength would vary each time. “I really wonder where this shop came from….”
The shop itself was quite strange. She ended up spending almost all her gold just buying things. Many items were for herself and her family, while others were for the kingdom. She hoped to put these things to good use and maybe even deal with the Demon Queen of Darkness.
“Mama, look! I drew you!” Lilly grabbed Desaray’s attention. Desaray looked over to see herself sitting on a throne of ice in a dress made of ice. Desaray smiled and patted Lilly’s head. She had to admit her daughter was very good at drawing! “This looks amazing. Let’s hang it up in the art museum. This way, everyone will be able to appreciate your hard work.”
“Okay!” Lilly smiled brightly she hoped everyone would like her drawing.
