The next item that came to mind was the metallic shield covering Machina Guardians engine, Aegis Plate. It carried quite a lot of power, but was mainly known for its nearly unrivaled defensive properties. A shield manufactured out of that was the ultimate equipment for a paladin.

Sadly Solomon had given up his life with a shield, and he had never been able to obtain such a mouth watering item.

Next Mira excavated what the Aegis Plate was protecting, the Antimaterial Crystal Reactor. It looked like a small black box, which could not be opened, so it was commonly treated like a crystal of ancient technology.

No one knew how to make it function, so players instead paired it with an explosive device to use it as a bomb, with so much power that it neared the combined strength of the Nine Wisemen. It was a rather popular weapon.

Wondering if that really was one of Machina Guardians drops, she analyzed the portion she salvaged. Soon she realized only the first page was somewhat preserved.

The paper had degraded over the years, and seemed like it would fall apart just by touching it, with many parts already missing. There were still some words that could be made out of it though.

Those were all the letters Mira could make out of the burnt paper.

Having read all of it, Mira just stood there in a daze.

(I feel like I just found something incredible But what is it? A developers diary? If thats actually it, it could be really valuable informationthough theres a lot missing.)

It clearly mentioned Japan, so it had to come from the modern world, and there had to be some meaning to it existing in this world. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to ask Martel and the Spirit King in case they knew something.

That is truly an intriguing piece of paper. Sadly I wouldnt know what it means either. This place has existed since long before I was born in this world. I have no idea what kind of place this once was, and why it was built.

It actually fills me with joy though.

The Spirit King had a wealth of knowledge about the world, but even he was unaware of the Ancient Underground Citys purpose. The piece of paper only added to the mystery. But experiencing mystery and trying to figure things out was rather enjoyable for him.

Im really sorry, but this just looks like a bunch of gibberish to me. If I had to guess, its related to whatever happened before we were born.

Martel also did not know anything. The Ancient Underground City had existed since before either of them was born, and the mystery of its existence only deepened.

Hmm, I see Ill hold onto it then. Maybe itll help me figure out a way back Oh wait, maybe he

Soul Howl had traveled all over the continent in search of the Brilliant Chalice, maybe he had learned something too.

Thinking that, Mira realized that Soul Howl was taking a long time to return.

Im pretty sure he only wanted to get a fragment of the chalk orbs in there. Hmmmaybe its taking so long because he has to do it in a specific way?

Making the Brilliant Chalice of Divine Decree required a fragment of the chalk orbs. Those existed in a room further ahead, called the White Room, which housed the chalk orbs that served as the Ancient Underground Citys power source.

Soul Howl only required one shard, but now that Mira thought about it, she did not know how such a shard was obtained.

Mira was done looting the remains of Machina Guardian, so she went into the White Room.

Silva: Another point is that they probably wont respawn anymore making it a one-time only loot
