This was no longer a simple Magic Artifact.
This was a Quasi-Divine Artifact!
A terrifying Weapon capable of changing the tide of battle, one that could even allow a Spiritual Mage to challenge High Tier beings!
This gift from Great Elder Gu was far too precious.
So precious that Raylo felt as if it burned his hands to hold.
"Great Elder, this…"
Raylo was about to say something.
But Gu waved his hand, interrupting him.
"Take it."
His aged face showed little emotion.
"You've earned it."
"The future of the Hill Giant Race is far more valuable than this eye."
His gaze shifted to Kado, then back to Raylo.
"In the future, my people will still need your protection. This is both a gift and… a small investment."
With him putting it that way, Raylo knew that any further refusal would be disingenuous.
He took a deep breath and solemnly extended his hands, accepting the heavy Demon Serpent's Eye from Great Elder Gu.
