Chapter 216: The Last Few Minutes

The only two skills Tyler was able to immediately activate besides the three demonic eyes skill series, were Thought Acceleration and Gravity Manipulation which was an interesting skill that Tyler liked a lot as it gave him the ability to move things with his mind just lole in the movies. Even though those were not the skills strongest aspects.

♦️♦️♦️

Gravity Manipulation.

The ability to create, shape, move, control, interact and manipulate gravity, a natural phenomenon which all things with mass or energy — including planets, stars, galaxies, and light — gravitate toward one another.

Sub Skills:

Gyro-Telekinesis – The ability Interact or Move matter using gravity.

Gravity Pulse – Creates a fist sized ball of gravitational energy that is shot like a projectile and explodes on impact.

Force Implosion – Creates and launch a fist sized ball of condense gravitational energy that causes a target or an area in space (within a 3 meter radius) to collapse in on itself, resulting in a highly dense form.

Gravity Infringement – Break the laws of gravity.

Frankly speaking, the skill wasn’t as strong as spatial Manipulation had been but it could be improved if Tyler wanted. However, it had too many similarities to Spatial manipulation so Tyler didn’t bother. He also learned Thought communication for easier communication although he knew message sent using the skill or spell could be easily intercepted but it was fine for now.

He had also memorized 8 other skills formula and would activate them at a later date. Aware that he now had less than an hour to spend in the library, he quickly teleported to where Tier 5 spells were located and quickly stored a book in his storage space as he attempted to move on to the next.

However—

What he heard from Uriel next shocked him. The lighting in the library suddenly turned red and the atmosphere got heavier. It was as though the library was calling him a criminal.

Tyler hastily brought out the spell book from his storage space and returned it back to its place before the oppressive feeling he had felt was lifted from him and the library had returned to its previous calm.

“What the hell was that?”

{Answer: The Boundless Void Library is a completely magical library that was willed into existence by the Supreme Monarch. It is made from pure energy and thus, every magic book in here is made up of a part of that energy.}

“Seriously. If that was the case how was I able to take out several artifacts previously?”

{There are 701 magic artifacts stored in this Library. Except for one, the rest were brought in here over a span of centuries by the Monarch.}

“Huh… so not all of them was made by the library. Well… since I plan to take some more out of here, which artifact was made by the Library.”

{Correction, the said artifact was not made from the Library’s core energy but was created using the Library several abilities and authorities. The item is already in your possession.}

“Uh… wait what? You don’t mean that ring do you?”

Treating his question as a rhetorical question, Uriel didn’t respond and Tyler could only sigh slightly and move on.

“What about the scrolls and potions?”

{Expendable items such as magic scrolls and potions are also created with the Magic Library’s ability as long as all necessary materials are provided.}

“I see, so it even had a function like that. That means I don’t have to worry about finding an alchemist and researcher to make decent potions. I might even be able to earn some funds with this.”

‘Huh, that may be the case but I still don’t have regular access to the library to make plans around it. Perhaps Uriel can inform me whenever the connection is stabilized but I shouldn’t place my hope on that for now. Besides, aside from the scrolls, potions and pills, I have a feeling creating a magic artifact would cost more than I can pay. Oh ** I’m wasting more time.’

Realizing his mistake, Tyler snapped out of his thoughts as he made up his mind on what to do. With his current mastery of all 3 levels of intermediate magic runes, memorizing the magic circle of up to Tier 5 spells wasn’t as difficult as learning Advance skills and he could immediately cast the spell after !

constructing the magic circle.

Using the Library’s movement ability, Tyler moved between Tier 3 spells and Tier 5, memorizing more than 30 spells in less than 40 mins. A small number in comparison to the total number of spells in the library but it was enough for now.

He didn’t forget to memorize the magic circle for the Tier 3 spell, Create Undead and Giant Fire Ball. He also learnt Tier 5 spells like Chaos Lightning and Explosion. As someone that appreciated privacy, he focused a lot on concealment spells and anti divination spells this time. If he were to combine several Tier 5 anti divination spells with his daily use of the Tier 7 scrolls, not even a demigod level ritualistic magic would be able to peer into his secrets.

He even learnt some more Tier 2 and Tier 1 spells just because they practically took less than a second to memorize thanks to Magic Prodigy and Potential Break would make them quite useful.

Taking some time out of memorizing spells, he used his insane speeds in reading more in the fundamentals of magic so he doesn’t fall into the trap that most mages fall into and fail to make a breakthrough. Magic wasn’t all about spells and skills.

Without the proper knowledge on how to weird such power, one could stunt their own growth just by engraving too much magic runes in thier mana bodies. Tyler didn’t miss the opportunity to read the one book he had fret to read the first time he came here and that was the Book of Death.

Made from what Tyler believed to be night itself, the book had a very sickening aura around it that made him want to stay away. Tyler forced himself to flip through the first chapter and he immediately put it down.

Frankly speaking, it looked like the raving of a mad man and did not provide any useful information for him. It seems to be focused on a forbidden magic that defied death but at a cost. Gaining immortality by becoming a Grand Lich.

This item might’ve even been written by the Undeaf Kimg that was currently marching an army at him when he was still mortal. Ignoring the book he could not take out, he focused more on the research on mana control as he memorized more spells until the time he allocated to himself for this came to an end.

With that, Tyler teleported to the Magic scrolls section and stored all the items in the shelves ad far as his eyes could see without magic. Storing items he wasing touching took mana and due to the absurd number of scrolls the Library contained, just storing 3 million scrolls took a lot of mana from him. At some point, he didn’t even know what scrolls he was storing.

He then moved on to the artifact section where there were 701 magic artifacts apparently. The first time he was here, Tyler had only noticed the first few shelves and had assumed the Magic Library only had about 150 artifacts but clearly he had been wrong.

There should be more shelves behind this one that held the rest of the items. Rings, Wands, Staves, Masks, Necklaces, Bracelets, Vambraces, Orbs, and what now reminded him of magic crystals of the highest purity.

Tyler then moved over to where the Magic Crystal was located and before he even thought about how to use his Divine appraisal, the information on the item appeared in his mind.

♦️♦️♦️

Magic Crystal

Purity – Divine.

The core of the God Class Magic beast, Undying Phoenix. This ancient Crystal contains immense but wild and chaotic primodial energy. Radiating a divine aura that soothes the soul, it is one of the greatest sources of energy.

♦️♦️♦️

To be honest, Tyler hadn’t expected to get so much information from a Magic Crystal. To the point that he could even tell what beast or monster the Crystal came from. The report said it was an undying Phoenix yet it had been killed.

Well, perhaps the creature wasn’t immortal but just didn’t age. Whatever the case. This showed the previous demon king could kill monsters of that level easily. That was only judging by the abundance of the same quality crystals in the shelves.

Although Tyler couldn’t feel any aura from the crystals so perhaps the library was suppressing the aura. Still, the fact that there was more than 30 of this was very impressive.

Not wanting to waste more time. Tyler used a bit of mana and moved all the items in the shelve around him to his storage space as he moved on to the ones behind. He was repeating this process until his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something and he paused.

It was a orb the size of a volleyball. It was completely pitch black and the air around it felt like they were being devoid of light. There was a cluster of dim light in the center of the orb as it sits on the shelf.

This item was non other than a Potential Reader. It was the same orb Tyler had attempted to use in checking his potential the first time he came here.

The last one has exploded and Tyler had thought that was the only one the Library contained. Yet now, he could see at least five of them. Chuckling to himself for an unknown reason. Tyler stored four of them in his storage space and moved to pick up the orb.

He wasted no time in pouring as little mana inside of it as possible but the item was made to greedily suck out as much mana as it could from whoever was holding it so his genius plan had obviously failed before it had even started.

Having experienced this process twice in his life now, everything proceeded as he remembered. The light in the center of the orb began to get excited and bounced around in the orb as they began to shine brightly and just as it was about to reveal his potential.

*Boom!

—It exploded again.

‘I suppose that settles it then. I thought I used too much mana the first time but apparently that’s not the case. Either I have no Magic potential or this orb can’t quantify Magic potential at the level of a demigod. I’ll have to test that out later on with Erin’s help.’

Tyler sighed disappointedly as he moved around listlessly until he had stored more than 500 magic artifacts in his storage before deciding to stop. This place wasn’t going anywhere so there was no need to be too greedy.

The items he had now would be more than enough to handle the undead army a thousand times over even if he personally did nothing.

With Uriel constantly reminding him of how much time was left, Tyler knew he only had about 10 minutes left so he decided to call it a day. He had spent more than 40 hours here already so there was no point in worrying anyone anymore.

He then Instructed Uriel to take him to were Zelda was and to his surprise, she was already awake and just stood by the door silently with a lost expression on her face. It was an expression Tyler had never seen on her before as she showed a sense of vulnerability and confusion.

‘What the what!’

Tyler thought as he stared at her, he was even more surprised by the fact that she had already awakened. He hadn’t felt anything different from the Soul Link he had with her so he had failed to notice when she had awakened.

Besides, he had been positive she would’ve contacted him the moment she woke up or simply just used shadow movement to appear before him and hide in his shadow. It was already a routine he was used to and seeing her look like she wasn’t sure on what to do didn’t reflect the emotionless demeanor of an Undead rogue.

{Answer: The undead known as Zelda has undergoed a core enhancement and in the process, soul Link with master was blocked to increase the chances for success by eliminating any outside interference. As such, the undead known as Zelda is currently without a directive or a way to sense and locate master as the library is currently suppressing her abilities. Would you like to reestablish soul Link?}
