Chapter 574 Artifacts
Villain Ch 574. Artifacts
Once near enough, Allen extended his hand towards Mei Ling. His fingers hovered in the air, hesitating for a moment, as if testing the waters. The pulse resonated through his actions.
With a decisive motion, he invoked his skill, uttering, "Contract!"
Allen invoked the dark aura surrounding Mei Ling. The inky tendrils swirled around her ethereal form, wrapping her in a shroud of darkness. The transformation was palpable, evident in the gradual metamorphosis of Mei Ling's once pristine white robe, now tainted with the insidious hues of the corrupted energy. The darkness seeped into her, a sign that Allen's power had successfully penetrated her being.
The cue of her robe turning black mirrored the corruption that now coursed through Mei Ling. Yet, a striking contrast emerged as her pale face transformed into a canvas for bold makeup. Blood-red lip tint adorned her lips, creating a stark and unsettling beauty that clashed with the underlying sadness etched into her features.
Mei Ling, caught in the grip of Allen's power, retained a semblance of sorrow despite the outward transformation.
Unexpectedly, Mei Ling did not linger or address Allen as "Master" as one might have anticipated. Instead, she vanished from the scene, leaving behind a haunting clacking sound. It echoed as the lance in her hand slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground and rolling down to Allen's feet.
With Mei Ling's departure, the invisible barrier that had stood as an impassable divide between Allen and his companions dissipated like morning mist. The sudden freedom of movement allowed the girls to approach him without hindrance.
Allen, however, seemed momentarily captivated by the lance lying at his feet. Squatting down, he reached for it, his fingers wrapping around the once-discarded weapon.

Allen's eyes practically popped out of his head when he saw the price tag. "20,000,000 coins?!" he blurted out, disbelief coloring his tone. It was like hitting the jackpot.
This windfall was on a whole new level, and for a moment, he just stared at the digits on the screen like they were playing a prank on him. "Well, this is a game-changer," he muttered to himself, a mix of shock and excitement dancing in his expression. It was safe to say; he wasn't expecting this kind of payday from a single item.
Excitement rippled through the group as Alice exclaimed, "We're gonna be rich!" Her enthusiasm was contagious, and smiles spread across the girls' faces.
Vivian, her eyes lit up with happiness, chimed in, "Upgrade costs? Pfft, we're covered now!" A carefree grin adorned her face as she contemplated the newfound financial freedom.
Bella, with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, quipped, "Ya know, thinking twice, I love rich ghost monsters!" The group erupted into laughter.
However, Shea kept her gaze fixed on the coffin. "Should we check the coffin too?" she suggested, her curiosity piqued. "Who knows, it might hold treasure too."
Larissa, feeling a shiver down her spine, added a touch of caution, "Or corpses." Her words injected a note of eerie realism into the jubilant atmosphere.
Jane chimed in, "Or both of them."
Vivian hesitated. "But what if it's a trap?" The newfound wealth didn't entirely dispel her sense of caution.
Zoe reassured, "We just need to keep our distance, after all, the quest is finished, right?" Her words carried a logic that provided a comforting anchor amidst the uncertainty.
Finally, Allen made the decisive call. "Let's check out the coffin." His words echoed with a blend of curiosity and resolve.
The group cautiously approached the mysterious coffin. Allen took the lead. With a focused gaze, he summoned his Telekinesis Blast once again, an invisible force emanating from his hand.
The spikes adorning the coffin lid responded to Allen's telekinetic command, slowly retracting and allowing the stone lid to hover in the air for a suspenseful moment. The unseen power, like an invisible hand, gently guided the massive slab to fall aside, revealing the contents within.
What greeted them was a sight that made their eyes widen in shock. The coffin was brimming with treasures. Precious gems, ornate artifacts, and gleaming valuables adorned the interior, arranged in a mesmerizing display of wealth.
