Chapter 760 - 402: The Summoning Ritual of the Sun God and the Knowledge Demon King_1
What Ivita said seemed to fall on deaf ears - at least, of the corpse or the demon within the Iron Maiden. "This is the last layer of the great library," it continued, "You can return anytime."
"If you open this torture device, I can help you."
Ivita ignored the demon’s words and focused on the book in his hands.
The book explained the origins of the Dark Soul.
Legend has it that amongst the earliest human civilizations, the highest level a witch could reach was that of a Superior Witch. These were considered divine beings, supposedly marking the end of magic and standing apart from ordinary wizards and witches...as demigods with Light Souls.
But then, something happened that made people realize that there was more to magic behind the Superior Witch level.
The Light Soul had its limits.
In one ancient civilization, buried by sand over time, a witch attempted to shield her civilization from invasions by other countries. Using her Light Soul, she blessed the king of civilization, creating a unique philosophical worldview within him. It made him unbeatable, immune to failure.
But eventually, the king did fail.
He held that distinguishing between males and females was what separated civilized people from savages. Out of modesty, he refused to bare all before the witch, opting instead to wear a loincloth.
Because of this, the witch’s Light Soul couldn’t permeate his entire body.
