477 The Final Test

"Great… You have 10 years to complete this mission, but I will now bestow you the two Artifacts I promised." The invisible Tower Master announced.

As she spoke, two orbs of light materialized in front of Vale.

"They are the Creation Ring and Sealing Thread I mentioned to you. You won't immediately gain the blessings of the Paragons and the Lord of the Secrets, but once you wear one of these, you will feel their presence and be able to communicate with them. However, you cannot activate them within the confines of the Tower. Find a safe place outside to do so…" The Tower Master explained...

"I understand, Tower Master."

The orbs of light transformed into the designated items and gently settled into Vale's hands. As he held them, he sensed a surge of lightning energy coursing through his Stormbringer sword, as if it recognized the power emanating from the Creation Ring.
