Chapter 155
With a slight smile, Alexander watched Michelle. She was already on the right track, close to achieving her goal, so he knew that just as he had guessed, he wouldn’t have a reason to step in.
From her spatial ring, Michelle pulled out a random dagger she had there and closed the sealing book. Though the color difference she found was on the inside of the book, she wanted to approach it from the outside. She had a gut feeling it would be better to do it that way.
So, while humming a song from her past life, she stabbed the edge of the knife into the side of the cover, peeling off the top layer. The cover was made of a few layers. From the inside, they were thin paper, wood, then two layers of thick paper, and finally a layer of monster leather. The leather was the layer that Michelle tore off.
But she didn’t see anything special there.
Still, she wanted to compare it to the front of the book, so she peeled the leather on the front too. And just as she had guessed, there was no difference between the papers.
Then, she peeled off the first and second layers of the paper, but still nothing. There, she was already met with the thin wood. It was so thin that it was partly bendable. But when it was combined with three layers of thick paper and a layer of thick monster leather, the book had a hard cover.
Michelle stabbed the knife between the paper and the wood and slowly pried them apart.
At first, everything seemed normal, but just when Michelle was about to tear the two apart completely, she felt a gush of power from the book.
That didn’t stop her. Quite the opposite. She grabbed the two materials and forcefully tugged at them, tearing one from the other.
