Chapter 352: Three gifts
Atlan looked at the amulet in his chest and saw no sign of hostility from the magical item.
Just then, he finally realized something. Carmine told them that they were searching for something in the forest that could help them defeat the creature in the castle, which Atlan now knew as Malificient, the Magical Queen.

When they reached Tulip's burned house, they searched through the entire wreckage trying to find a magical item that glowed with power.
But, they found nothing after searching for a long time.
The only thing they found was this amulet, which turned out to be Tulip's possession.
But because it looked like a normal amulet, with no glowing power or leaking magic, Carmine and Atlan both thought that this wasn't the object that they were looking for.
However, it seemed that he had it now all this time.
'The amulet only works if all the parts are completed. We kept one part to ourselves, and the last one was kept by Tulip. Now, all the parts have gathered because you, the fated prince, have come just like the prophecies said.'
The reason it looked like a normal amulet was because it was missing the parts that would make it into a tulip shape. In a very strange coincidence, Atlan met Tulip's mothers in this prison, where all the parts of the amulet finally connected.
According to their prophecies, this was an amulet that could help in defeating the Magical Queen. The fairies' prophecies coincided perfectly with Carmine's sources.
Now that he had it in his possession, there was no use throwing it away anymore. If it was going to help him defeat Malificient, then he needed all the help he could get. He would even let the fairies think that he was their prophesied prince or whatever.
'So, how am I going to use this amulet?'
The three good fairies looked at Atlan with hopeful expressions. 'So you accept your destiny?'
'Yeah, sure. As long as we defeat the Magical Queen at the end of this, then I'm willing to be your ally.'
The three good fairies nodded, satisfied with his answer.
'That amulet works by empowering yourself into a magnificent warrior of the olden past. This will allow you to have the power to be able to fight against the Queen. Be careful. Do not use it unless you have to because the power inside that amulet is a precious resource. It will not return.'
Having another trump card in his sleeves was what he needed to fight against the Magical Queen. If he could time the use of this power at the most opportune moment, he could get the Queen off guard and he would get the chance to kill her in one go.
Of course, that was if he saw an opportune moment.
'If you want the power inside that amulet, touch it for a few seconds and you will feel a magic course through your veins. Do not fight it, let it run its course.'
Atlan nodded. And without waiting any longer, he unfurled his Angel Wings and got ready to get out of this dungeon prison.
'Hang on to me,' he said.
'Wait, human. I can see that even though you have the power of an Angel, you do not have the appropriate control to be able to use it correctly. If you haphazardly try to travel through the dimensions, you may get trapped in it and never return. After all, this dungeon formed with Malificient's magic and will interfere with any teleportation spell.'
Atlan looked at the three fairies. 'Then, can you help me?'
The green fairy nodded. 'Yes, we will be your guide in the dimensions, while you use the power of those wings to get us out of this space.'
'But before we get to that, there is something else we must do.'
The three fairies waved their hands and cast another spell, creating a portal behind them.
'From our estimations, you are not strong enough to fight against the Queen or her horde. If you were to use the amulet while fighting her minions, then you would stand no chance to fight against her dragon form.
So, we have no other choice but to endow you with gifts from our world.'
A single sword and shield shot out from the fairies' portal and landed on the floor in front of Atlan.
'This?'
When the fairies said that they would give him some gifts to help him fight, he thought they'd be giving him something special. But from what he could see, that sword and shield was nothing special at all.
Suddenly, the fairies started chanting their spells again, gathering all the power in the area to their bodies.
'I grant the sword a sharp edge that can slay thousands of monsters and Canzers in a single move…' the red fairy said, throwing her hands towards the sword on the floor.
Suddenly, red glowing runes appeared on the sword and gave it a sharpness that would even terrify the best swordsman.
'I grant the shield the ability to protect and deflect the attacks from monsters of all shapes and sizes,' the green fairy said as she threw her hands to the shield.
Just like before, the shield suddenly gained glowing green runes that seemed to have strengthened the material and structure of the very shield itself.
'I grant these two weapons…luck and fortune…may this be the sword that strikes down the dragon that rules the skies,' said the blue fairy, throwing her hands on both the sword and the shield.
The runes on both reappeared again, but this time, the glow had turned into a golden color. And this time, the runes didn't disappear into the metal. It continued to glow, finally giving off the appearance that these two weapons were magical.
The three fairies looked at Atlan and gestured for him to take their gifts.
Atlan bent down and picked up both magical weapons.
The sword fit perfectly in his hands and was the perfect length in companion with his height.
Meanwhile, the shield was neither too small nor too big for his body. It was the perfect defense while allowing mobility in a close fight.
