The Artifacts Annoying Limit

My spear kept eating away the pearls like they were little candy. It took the same amount like others, and almost the same time needed for the other artifacts to show their shine.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Nearly all of them turned on at the same time. Each gear we had buzzed, flew in the air for a couple of meters and released a halo of energy around.

"Are they… really our artifacts?" The demon moved a couple of steps towards his own gears and held one in hand.

Me and the demoness kept watching him while he examined the sword he got in his big hand. The moment he touched it, I got a strange message from my system.

"Ding Dong! You have acquired an artifact. The artifact will be only active for forty-eight hours then it will return to its dormant state."

"Damn! That was your dirty plan all along," I shouted all of sudden, startling my two demons.

"What's wrong?" the demoness asked with a doubtful look over her face.
