Starbound How To Get Erchius Crystals Novels & Stories

Floating inside was a multi-faceted crystal no larger than a fist, yet radiating a brilliant, star-like blue energy. "What is that?" Harper asked, feeling a sense of awe at the pure power it emitted. "A Zero-Point Energy Core," Sebastian reached out with his armored glove and carefully took the floating crystal. "The Syndicate searched for this for decades and never found it. My grandfather hid it in the deepest part of the system."

That cheap, alchemized trinket that reeked of crude blood? The glorified blood-pop used to soothe low-tier fledglings who couldn’t control their hunger? In his eyes, was I on the same level as that weeping, grasping girl? I remembered a time before Evangeline. He spent ten years in the frozen north, searching for a single ‘Star-Tear’—a crystal formed from a tear dropped on the night of the twin stars—just to help me stabilize my illusions. He had knelt before me then, holding the radiant gem, the love in his eyes purer than the starlight itself.

I groaned, gripping Jace's shoulder to pull myself upright. ​"Can you run?" Jace asked, supporting me as we slipped out of the cell and into the dimly lit corridor. ​"I can survive," I grunted, forcing my trembling legs to hold my weight. "Did you manage to get it?" ​Jace nodded grimly, reaching into his heavy leather tunic. He pulled out a small, exquisite wooden box lined with protective velvet. He popped the latch, revealing a shimmering, liquid-like mercury substance that glowed with a faint, ethereal violet hue. It was the Starlight Quicksilver, a legendary, heavily guarded substance kept deep within the royal treasury.

The sharp ice shards found their marks, piercing through the weakened defenses and drawing ethereal blood. In the heart of the mist, Lupa spotted the crystal they had come to retrieve. It rested atop a carved stone pedestal, bathed in a faint glow that hinted at its immense power. With a swift, decisive movement, she slipped through the gaps in the Astrals’ defenses. Her footsteps were soundless against the ancient stone floor as she approached the crystal.

that reflected no starlight. "We have forty-eight hours before the oceans begin to freeze to the bed," Elara warned, her breath visible in the command center. "The Trinity-Core is protecting our existence, but it can’t provide energy. We are a perfect, invisible, dying marble." The Overseer’s Last Gift: The Stellar-Seed Leo emerged from the Resonance Tank, his skin glowing with a faint, bioluminescent silver. In his hands, he carried the Stellar-Seed—the crystalline jar given to him by the Overseer refugees in Chapter 85.

A position we couldn’t afford to be in. The ritual was three weeks away, and we had no plan. What were we going to do if he ended up creating an army of The Cursed? Just fight them? We could, but how long would we last? Every time we caught one, its strength was greater than the previous. And according to Liana, those versions were just the weak prototype because the ritual wasn’t yet done. How would the strong, finished versions then be? “The stardust flower can only be found in a… delicate location. There’s a reason it isn’t commonly known by those in your world.” Liana sighed and shook her head.

Floating within the liquid fire was a sphere of refined starlight-silver and raw aquamarine quartz, harvested directly from the deep subterranean bed of the restored Water Seal. I stood at the edge of the forge platform, wearing heavy leather smithing robes, my eyes fixed on the molten core. Beside me, Commander Mira held an iron tray containing three localized elemental catalysts, a fragment of crystalline earth bark, a flask of compressed abyssal water, and a vial of glowing ash from the Ash Caldera.

Finding my way to Crestbane main library, I make a calculated sneak-in into one of their closed-off rooms, which is hiding several rare spell ingredients that can only be assessed by members of the university council If I had told any of the princes that I needed access to this room, I have no doubt they would have made it possible for me to access it without breaking a sweat. But I can't tell them shit. Asad will have millions of questions. Besides, I'm a Proselyte. What in the gods name will I be doing with such a magnitude of spell ingredients? When I see about a dozen or more starlight crystals, I almost shed a tear of gratitude to Deskar, even though I'm not a fan of him and his cohorts

Jay asked, his voice trembling with a mixture of relief and anxiety. Elara explained that they had been caught in a sudden rockslide, separated from the main group. They had managed to find refuge in the chamber and discovered the massive crystal, sensing that its energy was somehow connected to the tremors. They also discovered that the crystal possessed a strange connection with the bioluminescent flora, drawing energy from them but at a slower rate, a much safer one than the way the fissures were depleting them.

Liora, her eyes scanning the rapidly narrowing exit, shouted back, "No time to decode more runes! We need another way!" Elara, helping Darius to his feet, eyed the ceiling of the temple, noticing a series of symbols etched into the stone above. "The constellation of Aries! It's said to be the doorway to the gods!" Darius, leaning heavily on Elara but still determined, pointed to a nearby pedestal. "That crystal. It's said to possess the power to channel celestial energy. Maybe we can use it to activate the constellation." Liora, understanding the implication, raced to the pedestal and lifted the shimmering crystal. "We need to direct its energy to the constellation, but how?"
