Necklace

"The necklace Lina gave you? What is she planning?"

Abner did not immediately take the necklace from Shoko. Instead, he quietly activated his Pure White Eye and analyzed it in detail:

"The necklace's centerpiece is made from the scales of a demigod-level Five-Colored Gem Dragon of the Reader Pathway: the five differently colored gems set in the sterling silver chain.

"Time and repeated use have drained much of this Beyonder item's power. It originally had sixteen basic abilities and eight Secret Arts; now it has only eight basic abilities and two Secret Arts. More than half its power is gone, and it will probably cease working altogether in three to five years at most.

"Of its current abilities, three are at Sequence 6 level: Notarization from the Sun Pathway, Flesh Magic from the Hanged Man Pathway, and Deep Dive from the Tyrant Pathway.

"It also has three Sequence 7 abilities: Summon Holy Light from the Sun Pathway, Soothing from the Visionary Pathway, and Hiding in Shadows from the Hanged Man Pathway.

"At Sequence 8, it has only Mind Reading; at Sequence 9, only Illusory Scales.

"The necklace's two Secret Arts are its core abilities. Both are at Sequence 5 level: Ivens's Concealment Barrier and Vaolit's Perfect Restoration.

"Ivens's Concealment Barrier was created by analyzing Sequence 9's Illusory Scales, Sequence 8's Mind Reading, and Sequence 7's Hiding in Shadows, then combining their core traits. Notarization was used to validate and strengthen the result. When activated, it forms a barrier around the body like illusory scales. It conceals the wearer, rendering them invisible both visually and psychologically, while effectively resisting investigative methods such as Divination.

"Vaolit's Perfect Restoration is a Secret Art combining the Sequence 7 abilities Summon Holy Light and Soothing with the Sequence 6 abilities Flesh Magic and Deep Dive.
