Chapter 161: Go On The Attack
The duo went up to the surface and moved straight toward the Academy’s central building. No need to search around: everyone at the Academy knew the top five floors of that massive building were where all the Academy Leaders lived.
That’s where the Academy’s most restricted knowledge was kept, left behind by former leaders; a sort of guide with secret info that only the current Leader was supposed to know.
When they reached the entrance, they found a huge door covered in defensive inscription runes. Only the Leader’s emblem could open it, and the whole place was linked to the central inscription to prevent any chance of intruders. But Darian had left his black power at the core.
He focused on canceling the runes connected to that spot, and soon the door had no power left to stop them.
As soon as they walked in, they were met with a massive room covered in Jade Slips. This was the Leader’s library. Darian needed that knowledge, since there could be crucial information there about past Academies. That could be vital for his survival.
They split the tasks: Darian went straight for the Jade Slips, while Niara searched the other floors for anything useful.
Darian started reading nonstop. Luckily, unlike reading books, Jade Slips dumped the knowledge directly into his mind. Everything was organized into detailed topics, and Darian just had to search for exactly what he wanted; fully reading each one only took a few hours.
In two days, that mini dragon finished the last important Jade Slip. When he opened his eyes, he saw Niara calmly waiting for him.
She picked him up carefully and wrapped him around her body. Once they were fitted together again, besides the pleasant feeling, Darian’s senses multiplied several times.
Niara smiled. "Oh? Looks like you’re really enjoying this, huh? Just don’t squeeze too much, or I might get excited too..."
"I’m not squeezing anything! Stop teasing me! Did you find something?" Darian shot back, trying to hide how flustered he was.
