nAs they moved deeper, they had to face a few more attacks in the forms of arrows. There was even a boulder that came rolling towards them, but it was stopped by Rale without any trouble.

nAfter 5 more minutes, they reached the dead end.

n

"What is this? It's already the end, and we haven't even seen the Nature Healing Crystal. Were you lying?

" Ryder asked Amelia.

n

"It shouldn't be the end. The Ancestral Temple hallway isn't this short. When we came here last time, this wall wasn't here. It should be here to stop us from moving forward because we brought you inside,

" Princess Olivia told Ryder.

n

"Hmm? Rale, try breaking the wall,

" Ryder ordered Rale.

n

"Yes, Your Highness,

" Rale replied,

"Please move back so that you aren't harmed accidentally.

"

nRyder and the others stepped back about 30 meters as they gave Rale the space to attack freely.

nRale packed his fist and used all his force as he punched the wall.

nRyder could feel the wind pressure change as Rale attacked, which reminded him how strong Rale was, but despite all that, he wasn't able to break the wall. In Fact, not even a dent was made on the wall.

nRale didn't attack a second time as he turned back to look at Ryder and shook his head.

n

"It's impossible to break it, Your Highness. This wall is made from the same material that your and His Majesty's room is made from. Even the Grand Dukes shouldn't be able to break it. Only someone as strong as His Majesty can break it,

" Rale replied.

n

"Grand Dukes? The way he talks about them, it should be that they are stronger than him? And then there's even a King? If only he is as strong as our Royal Father, according to Raphtalia, then how strong must the others be? Just who exactly are they?' Princess Olivia and Princess Amelia thought as they looked at Ryder.

n

"So you can't break it? Let me try it,

" Ryder let out as he brought out his Moon Scythe and stepped forth.

nRale stepped back and gave Ryder some space.

n

"Enraged Slash!

" Ryder muttered as he swung his Scythe. The blade of the scythe hit the wall and slashed through it, but even it wasn't strong enough to break it. Even after using his full strength, he was only able to leave a deep groove on it.

n'H-he managed to leave a mark on the stone wall? So strong,' Rale thought. He was shocked as he saw the groove on the stone wall.

n'Sigh, the Moon Scythe is strong, but I'm not strong enough yet. It's not possible to break it with force,' Ryder thought as he turned back with disappointment.

n

"There should definitely be a way to get past it,

" Ryder said with a frown.

n

"Wait a minute, I see something,

" Amelia abruptly let out as she walked to the wall. She could see ten small stone pieces lying on the ground. There were some carvings on the ground as well.

nIt seems as if there were dots on the ground in a 9x9 format. There were 9 rows of those dots and 9 columns.

n

"This should be something that I saw in our Royal Clan book. It's an Ancient Enlightenment Pattern. This was a pattern that is said to increase your concentration if you keep looking at it. It's also a 9x9 for the format, and only 5 of those dots were colored,

" Princess Amelia said as she picked 5 stone pieces from nearby and placed them over 5 dots.

nShe placed the stones in the same position as the colored dots were in those drawings.

nAs soon as she placed the 5th stone pieces, the stone door turned sideways and opened the path.

n

"Great work,

" Ryder smilingly said as he saw the blocked road opening.

nOlivia, on the other hand, was frowning behind.

n'Why did she have to open it? If there were no way to enter, they would have left. Amelia, you're so innocent,' She sighed as she shook her head.

nEven though she was upset, she didn't hate her sister for it.

nThey continued ahead and soon reached a big hall-like place. There was a giant 25 feet tall statue of a woman that Ryder assumed to be their Goddess of Nature.

nThe Goddess of Nature looked awfully similar to Alice, which Ryder thought was a nice coincidence.

nOn the statue's foot, there was a small silver box.

n

"Is the Nature Healing Crystal inside that box?

" Ryder asked Amelia.

n

"Yes. It should be there,

" Amelia replied as she nodded her head.

n

"Good,

" Ryder chuckled as he stepped towards the statue and picked up the box.

nHe opened it and found a beautiful Green Crystal in the box that was in a Hexagonal Shape this time.

nRyder couldn't help but smile as he saw all the notifications. These missions were turning out to be really useful.

nHe couldn't help but think that even if he had used his previous world knowledge to achieve success in the game, he wouldn't be as successful as he is now. This unexpected journey has become so incredible.

n'Too had that I didn't find the fragment Crystal of the Bracelet of Immortality,' He thought.

n

"You got the Crystal. Now you can leave and never come back,

" Olivia told Ryder as she saw the box in his hand. She was quite upset, but there was nothing she could do now.

n

"Right. I'm not like I was thinking of becoming a son-in-law of this kingdom and staying here forever,

" Ryder said sarcastically before extending his hand towards the Nature Healing Crystal.

nHe wanted to leave the box behind and only take the Nature Healing Crystal, but as soon as his hand touched the orb, a fresh set of notifications started resounding in his ears.
