Chapter 161: Breaking the Magic Restrictions In The Inverted Tower
[Entering the opening in the Bloodthorne Clan’s inverted tower, you noticed that while the first underground floor wasn’t locked, the second one was.]
[The first floor only contained public knowledge, and even if there were magic books there, they were limited to One Circle and Circleless Magic Spells.]
[You figured that information that was more valuable and magic spells with higher circles would be stored in the lower floors.]
[Faced with the entrance leading to the second floor, you looked at the magic restriction on it and estimated you could break it with brute force alone.]
[’At worst, if I destroy this with brute force, the magic restriction will release an alarm sound. However, that isn’t really a problem as the subspace can isolate the sound.’]
[’Moreover, the alarm was for the Bloodthorne Clan Leader and Clan Elders to hear. But as far as I remember, they were already slaughtered by me, and I had already committed genocide against their Bloodthorne Clan, so the alarm is worthless.’]
[You noticed that the magic restriction placed on the entrance leading to the second floor wasn’t that powerful, and rather than emphasizing protecting and preventing entry, it specialized in releasing an alarm instead.]
[In other words, it was intended by the Bloodthorne Clan for the second floor’s magic restriction to be broken. That way, the magic restriction will alarm them no matter what.]
[Even if someone briefly stole or read the items on the second underground floor, it wasn’t a problem for them. While the books and items in the second underground floor were quite valuable, it wasn’t to the point that it was a closely guarded secret.]
[So, after using the Realm Core to further isolate the sound so it wouldn’t disturb your train crewmates, you broke the magic restriction on the second floor.]
[Looking around, you pondered, ’It seems that the second floor only contains books with centuries worth of history and magic books containing magic spells at Three Circle and below.’]
[Without any hesitation, you broke the third underground floor’s magic restriction. This time, you found books with a millennium worth of history and magic books containing magic spells at Five Circle and below.]
[In the fourth underground floor, there were magic books at Six Circle and below.]
[At this point, after breaking into the fourth underground floor, you stopped and were deep in thought on whether to continue attempting to break through or not.]
[’The Six Circle Magic spells correspond to Platinum rank. It will take Diamond rank power to destroy the magic restriction on the fifth underground floor’s entrance.’]
[’Since I’m not in a hurry, I might as well just start spending the time to comprehend the magic knowledge and magic spells on the first underground floor to the fourth.’]
[’That way, after I master them, using World Order would cost less energy and be more targeted when dealing with these magic restrictions since I’d have sufficient knowledge and understanding of how these magic restrictions are built due to becoming a Mage.’]
[With that thought in mind, you no longer insisted. You have plenty of time and weren’t in a hurry to participate in the Millennium Vampire War.]
[No matter what, the Millennium Vampire War would only end when all vampire participants had died or forfeited.]
[In other words, as long as nothing bad happened to Astraea, then even if the vampire participants all killed each other until one of them was left, they still couldn’t become the champion since Astraea isn’t dead yet.]
[According to Astraea, there was even an infamous Millennium Vampire War, where it took decades for it to end, since one of the vampire participants hid very well. It was to the point that the royal vampire clan snitched on him since even they got tired of waiting.]
[After all, they didn’t want to enrage the Vampire Progenitor. The Millennium Vampire War could also be considered a ritual to please the Vampire Progenitor and show him that the vampire race hadn’t declined yet.]
[For that certain war session to have such a cowardly vampire participant, it embarrassed the royal vampire clan behind him.]
[It was one thing if that cowardly vampire participant could fight on equal standing with the other vampire participant who kept looking for him.]
[Unfortunately, that cowardly vampire participant only had Bloodline Magic suitable for hiding and concealment, and the outcome was way too obvious at a glance that the royal vampire clan that backed him had snitched on him since they also wanted to end the vampire war early.]
[If his power was equal to that of the opposing vampire participant and the outcome couldn’t be decided immediately, then they wouldn’t have betrayed him.]
[Recalling the incident that Astraea had told you about before, you contemplated, ’We aren’t in a hurry, and as a Peak Platinum rank Vampire Ancestor, Astraea’s seclusion isn’t cowardice as she’s the strongest in both power rank and bloodline rank among the vampire participants.’]
[’With Void Parking Space, no one could find us in a short while. I might as well let them spend this time to familiarize themselves with magic and comprehend more about it.’]
[Not only you, but also Old MacDonald and Jade needed to master magic first. At least, they should become a Six Circle Mage at minimum.]
[So, after calling them to enter the training room carriage and the Bloodthorne Clan Inverted Tower subspace, you consumed Realm Energy to manipulate the time flow of this subspace.]
[After your time flow control, thirty days in the subspace now equals a day outside.]
[The Realm Energy consumed this way was quite enormous, but it wasn’t a problem for you, who kept refueling it. The higher the quality and grade of an item used to decompose and turn into Realm Energy, the greater the Realm Energy yielded.]
[With Unlimited Food Creation, you created countless Heavenly Essences, corpses, and blood of Vampire Ancestors at the Initial Diamond rank. With those as fuel, it was impossible for Realm Energy to run out even with a one-month: one-day time flow ratio.]
[’Time to finally make use of my Arch Human talent and comprehension to speedrun becoming a Six Circle Mage.’]
