Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 514 touches upon the mysterious [Enlightenment] and the unsealed remains.

"I'm a little unsure about this piece of equipment."

"I hope you can provide a preliminary analysis of this equipment."

Hearing the man's very solemn words.

Love immediately became serious.

Lof first put down the empty glass of draft beer in his hand.

Then he shook his head.

After manually sobering up and clearing the fog from my eyes.

Only then did he look at the item in Fang Yi's hand.

Just a glance.

The old man let out a soft "Eh."

"Huh."

"Your ring seems rather interesting."

During a pause in conversation.

Love quickly took two steps at a time and walked up to the man.

He received the [Mirror's Finger] (unidentified) from Fang Yi.

He squinted, using his slightly cloudy eyes.

She began to observe the ring on the man's hand.

"Yes, it has the effect of reflecting spells."

"It also has the ability to counter spells."

The old man was speaking in the dim light.

He held up the ring, which looked like it was made up of several mirrors and gave off a strange coolness when touched.

The ring was visible as it was illuminated by the light.

When it presents an extremely translucent, dark green color.

The elderly man gave a preliminary assessment.

"Both its appearance and the effect of the equipment are somewhat similar to Corey's shield."

"Do you think this ring belongs to the [Star Calamity] series of equipment?"
"No, it seems so."

Looking at the ring, I kept questioning myself from the previous second.

An elderly person who has begun to struggle with themselves and talk to themselves repeatedly.

Knowing that the other party doesn't require you to give an answer or interrupt.

It will take some time before a conclusion is reached.

Fang Yi then lowered his head.

I'm starting to adapt to my brain, which has become more active with so much more knowledge.

And the body that has undergone unknown changes.

After learning the skill of [Occultism].

He then passively received an "Enlightenment" that came with the skill, a process similar to physical modification that allowed him to break free from the 'Muggle' status.

This is a skill related to the occult.

It is a skill that is more important and valuable than he had anticipated.

Just like some people who, after acquiring demonic knowledge.

It's as if the world has changed in your eyes.

They will all undergo a transformation to shed their 'Muggle' identity.

This is also what allows those who reincarnate.

The foundation for understanding and using spell-based skills.
-
And it is through this skill that...

Fang Yicai vaguely sensed the extraordinary 'mystery' within the [Mirror's Finger of Sorrow].

This led to the idea of ​​conducting an identification process beforehand.

The idea was to let the elderly person do a preliminary evaluation of the equipment.

Fang Yi glanced at it.

The book in my hand is definitely not simple; it has a sinister quality. It's a damaged [Mysterious Octamo].

It comes from the feedback of [mysticism].

This medium can only be used for 0 "Enlightenment" sessions.

The message reads: "The ritual is complete, but the exclusive buff cannot be obtained."

And the only remaining entry that can be used as material for initiating a ritual.

After verifying the conjecture that this skill is more of a ritual than an alchemy.

The conditions for skills learning have been met.

Crush the skill scrolls for [Holy Ritual Baptism] and [Flame Magic].

The man who paid 4000 points and 2 C-level story points learned two skills.

Then they heard the old man's definitive judgment.

"This is not part of the [Star Calamity] series of equipment."

"It's just a 'fake' with some functions."
-
A hint of disdain flashed across the old man's face as he spoke.

She returned the ring to the man.

"Although I don't know much about items like rings."

"But I know that although it looks similar to those [Star Calamity] equipment, its internals are completely different."

"It's just a shell made of a small amount of [Starry Sky Fragments] to deceive people and absorb magic power."

"It just contains some magical 'weights' encapsulated inside."

The old man, while speaking, raised his beer bottle again.

After pouring the last bit of wine down his throat.

He looked at Fang Yi, who was holding up the ring and examining it closely.

He had already imagined it.

The scene depicted a man being tricked into buying a counterfeit "Star Disaster" weapon, much like someone buying an antique and being misled into purchasing a fake.

And even after hearing their own conclusion, they were still not convinced.

The psychological activity of refusing to accept reality.

The old man chuckled to himself.

This young man, despite his great strength, can still be deceived.

Then, in a very serious tone, she gave an example and began to explain to the man.

"Just like when you bring out sapphires and agates from the dungeon."

"Although it is called a gem, it looks no different from the gems in the [Heart of the Corpse] or even the [Wanderer's Carriage]."

"But in reality, it lacks 'spirituality,' and therefore doesn't have the same value as the [Heart of the Corpse], which can be inlaid in equipment or used as a ritual material."

The words are not finished yet.

He was then interrupted by Fang Yi's astonishing actions.

Fang Yi drew his long sword.

Cut off a corner of the [Mystery Octamo] book.

Using [Flame Magic], flames burst forth from the fingertips, swiftly and cleanly turning them to ashes.

With another wave of his hand, he summoned countless wisps of mist.

By combining ashes and moisture, a piece of chalk is created.

In the blink of an eye, a mysterious pattern was etched onto the ground.

He threw the [Mirror's Finger] in.

He then raised his right foot.

Upon seeing Fang Yi's actions, the old man instinctively asked a question.

What are you going to do?
"That ring, though merely for show, still has some value."

"Boom!"

A loud stomping sound rang out.

A magic circle three steps away from the man's boots.

It then emitted an extremely eerie blue light.

The next second, blue flames appeared out of thin air on the surface of the ring placed inside.

It burst into flames at an incredible speed.

Looking at the bizarre scene before him.

Love's eyes widened suddenly.

[What is this? A ceremony?]

Did that kid see something I didn't after reading that book?

The old man looked at the ring with a mixture of belief and doubt.
-
"Crack!"

A sound of shattering glass rang out.

Just a second ago, the flames were still raging on the surface of the ring.

It disappeared abruptly, just like the magic array that dissipated into the air like gas.

Only one remained, placed on the ground.

Long, slender fingers that exuded an aura of death and curse.

With just one glance, the experienced old man came to a conclusion.

That seemed to be something extraordinary, related to death.

Did I actually misjudge it?

Despite his surprise, the old man stood on tiptoe.

She silently approached the man, wanting to examine this extraordinary finger bone up close.

Fang Yi picked up the finger and nodded in satisfaction upon seeing its attributes.

The value of this piece of equipment, named [Deathly Remains].

This has far exceeded the man's expectations.

This is an item with a genuine [instant death] ability.
