The signal that my Perception sensed was obviously not that far away from me, so it didn't take me more than 5 minutes to make my way there even though I was walking as stealthy and slowly as possible in case the low possibility of the demon being there came to be true.
'That shouldn't be the case…'
However, as I got closer and closer, I could somewhat tell that there was no chance of the demon being the cause of that signal. After all, the closer I was, the more I was able to distinguish that while the signal was indeed familiar, it was far from even being close to the malevolent aura that the demons let off, it was instead more like something…
'Warm?'
Nonetheless, I still stayed on guard, the most cautious would be the winners in the end, and as the saying went 'it's better to be safe than sorry'.
Still, the signal did its best to make me both curious and confused, though it felt warm as if it was something close to me at one second, it switched off to feel cold and distant at another second, making it hard to guess the identity of what could have sent that signal.
'It should be here…'
Thankfully, the suspense didn't last long enough as I quickly found a cave-like spot that was drilled into one of the big pitch-black rocky walls and walked through the entrance which should have the source of the signal just slightly past it.
As soon as I entered, the cave's space was illuminated as the source of the light floated exactly at the center of the cave.
The source of both the signal and the light wasn't anything living as I already guessed, however, it didn't seem to be dormant either as it kept displaying a certain pattern of movement…
A pitch-black crystal in the shape of a card formed the center of the object as it kept spinning at different angles till it created a pearl's fading shape, while four rings of fading black gaseous matter rotated around it in the same pattern as sparks of lightning kept appearing around the amplified pearl-like structure, producing illumination to the whole cave's space.
'This… Why does it feel so different?'
Such an object that displayed 'magical tricks' normally shouldn't be something that grabbed the attention of me who lived in both the technologically advanced reality and the magical fantasy of the 'Lost Realm, however, for some reason, I felt completely attracted to it as soon as I entered this cave.
I barely managed to think about the reason why that was the case or why the illumination of the lightning sparks only started as I went inside before I started to realize the reason why this gave off such a familiar signal, thus forming an answer to both the matter that I just started to question.
'Could it be?'
The reason was pretty simple, it just gave off the same vibes that I felt when I received the two ancient legacies!

Originally, I felt like I should ask Long who was sleeping inside my spatial ring for confirmation, but I decided not to as the feeling of familiarity grew firmer, so I simply sent a thread of mental energy to interact with the floating object instead.
'I knew it!'
As soon as my thread of mental energy reached it, the sparks of lightning intensified as they connected with the invisible thread, completely confirming my guess!
Though I was slightly confused about how one of the ancient legacies that usually existed as a semi-safe keeping device on demon bases got here as well as why there was no 'Trial' before its appearance, I decided to not think about it after several guesses as this space situation was far from normal and was already easily comparable to a special Corruption Gate like a 'Demon Base'.
The lightning sparks that multiplied and connected with my mental energy thread started to vanish as it assimilated with it, before a charismatic voice appeared in my mind through the mental connection!
{Woah! To think that someone actually activated the legacy that I left behind!}
'Eh?'
While the voice did seem charismatic at the beginning, the way it talked automatically removed it from one's impression.
{Hmm… hmmm… hah! You even managed to receive two other legacies before, what a great surprise!}
I wasn't surprised by the fact that the voice in the legacy's mental package knew that I received a legacy before, but the way it reacted to it, knowing the precise number and the opening sentence were a bit surprising, it was by far the strangest legacy message I received so far, even when compared to the mixed message of two persons quarreling that I received from the Trial of Ice & Fire's legacy…
{No need to stay silent, I know you have a biased experience, but I'm different from the simple recording that you have received before! Besides, shouldn't one show at least some voiced surprise when he is in a situation similar to this? You don't seem like someone that's fun to tease…}
The voice undulated between being charismatic and silly in a weird manner as it seemed to be aware of the situation!
"...Did you really leave a true mental imprint on this legacy?"
While it was indeed true for someone to leave something like a part of their consciousness on some special objects, which was almost equal to creating a brain clone, doing that required quite a bit of mental energy and it would have a serious side effect on its user's mind. Even I didn't know the correct method to do so let alone whether I was able to do it or not. The only reason I knew of such a method was that it was superficially mentioned in one of the books in the Imperial Library in the ruin exploration section…
{Oh, you know about that? Perhaps you… this is suddenly getting more interesting!}
