Chapter 152 The Look



When Wain touched the gray book, he entered a strange space. There were hundreds of pages floating around him, and at the top was a huge dial. But, it was unusual.

There were always sixty divisions on the dial, as there are sixty seconds in one minute. But, there were precisely three hundred divisions on this dial. That meant that it would take the clock hand five minutes to make a circle and return to its original point.

Wain was no fool. He knew at once what was going on.

"Apparently, revenge only has five minutes. Most likely, one of those floating pages hides the Sorcerer\'s Soul." Mumbled Wain looking around.

There were an enormous number of pages. There were more than ten thousand of them. Wain realized that there was no way he would have had time to read or even touch every one of them in five minutes. Moreover, ten seconds of the three hundred had already passed.

"Hmm, last time, I had to look up the answers to the questions written on the parchment scroll. But, I can\'t just rely on luck, this is probably another riddle, and I have very little time to solve it." Wain muttered.

He was not naive and understood that something bad would happen when the clock\'s hand made a full circle. At best, this space would be destroyed, and Wain would return without the Sorcerer\'s Soul. At worst, he would die.

Wain didn\'t panic. He knew better than most that he had to keep his cool mind in such situations. He had to come up with a plan and survive. It was the best option he had.

"I must have some kind of clue..." Wain muttered.

Suddenly he noticed that the gray book was in his hands. Because of the series of events, he had completely forgotten about it.

Wain grinned and opened the book, but it was empty. Wain carefully flipped through page after page until he got to the end. There was one phrase and nothing else in this book.

He tried to use Soul Essence, hoping for text to appear on the blank pages like the last time, but he was unsuccessful.

Wain slowly read the phrase.

"It is possible to behold the soul, even though we cannot see it..." Wain muttered.

"It doesn\'t make any sense..." Proclaimed Wain.

He checked every leaf in the gray book once more and even tore it apart, but it was empty. At that moment, Wain felt he had reached a dead end.

All he had was a strange phrase and thousands of floating sheets around him.

When a hundred seconds had passed, Wain decided it was time to act. He couldn\'t develop a plan or figure out how to solve this riddle, but he didn\'t have time for that anymore. Wain turned into blue lightning and picked up the pages floating in the air at top speed.

He was swift and collected about five sheets in a second. This was an amazing result considering that the sheets were some distance apart.

He collected one hundred and fifty sheets in thirty seconds, then Wain stopped and checked each one. But, he found nothing.

\'Fuck, I only have a hundred and seventy seconds left.\' Thought Wain looking at the massive dial at the top.

Whoooosh.

Wain turned into a blue flash again and collected over three hundred sheets. But, it was only a fraction of the total, so Wain failed again.

Wain only had a hundred seconds left.

"Damn, I\'m an idiot. I don\'t even have an hour to check every single page!" Proclaimed Wain trying to come up with a plan.

At that moment, the scene in his mind was when he first entered this area of Purgatory. Then he had read all the books in the closet but could not find his way out of the cloud.

However, the item he needed, the stone amulet, was hiding where he would not have looked originally.

"The clue is in that phrase, but what could it mean? Soul..." Wain muttered.

By then, he had only sixty seconds left. In a minute, the hour hand would make a full circle.

"Souls... They changed everything..." Said Wain.

Before the apocalypse began, there were no monsters or superpowers in his world as in this one. It was all just in books, games, and movies. It was a fiction that no one took seriously.

However, when souls appeared in his world, everything changed. The world became crazier and more chaotic than in any story, but it was a reality everyone had to come to terms with.

"Right... Soul Essence, can\'t that be called a soul?" Wain muttered and closed his eyes.

He only had thirty seconds left, but Wain was in no hurry. It was his only option and his last chance to get out of here and get the Sorcerer\'s Soul.

He concentrated and felt energy fluctuations coming from all directions. The Seal of Darkness glowed brightly, but it didn\'t help him find the right page.

Wain took a deep breath and calmed down completely. He realized that what he needed to look for was not the Sorcerer\'s Soul but the vibrations of Soul Essence.

He only had twenty seconds left.

Sure, Soul Essence could take material form, like when Wain became the owner of Ice Caves, but that was because of the large concentration of energy in one point.

Usually, Soul Essence was an invisible force that, in doing so, influenced and changed the world and millions of spaces.

Then Wain stopped feeling the energy coming from this space and focused on Soul Essence. He needed to figure out where this energy was hiding.

Wain only had ten seconds left. The hour hand had almost reached its starting point. Wain was running out of time.

Step.

Wani stepped forward with his eyes closed and turned into blue lightning. In less than half a second, he crossed the thirty-meter mark. The floating pages in the air were torn apart by the electrical discharges.

Wain had five seconds left, but he was no longer running.

Wain smirked and said, "Here I found you."

Whoooosh.

Wain put his arm forward, but suddenly half of his arm was gone, as if under an invisible veil. By then, Wain had only three seconds left.

Wain pulled his hand out of the spatial tear and pulled out a gray piece of paper. It was different from the thousands of pages floating in the air.

Click.

The hand of the clock stopped at the last bar. Wain managed to find the right page a second before a disaster was to strike.

Wain looked at the gray page with a slight smile and used some Soul Essence. The symbols on the page glowed brightly, and the page turned into a gray soul.

The soul slowly flew into Wain\'s body, and he felt an incredible rush of strength at that moment. It was as if he had climbed to the top of the world, and his power was infinite.

[You have received the Sorcerer\'s Soul]

Then Wain felt as if he had received the wisdom and knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. It was unusual and strange.

[You discovered the third form - Blind Sorcerer]

[Blind Sorcerer

For mages, one of the most important attributes is good vision. It is impossible to see energy fluctuations and the smallest details of spell work with poor eyesight. The most outstanding mages became those who were born with a unique vision.

They could see and understand more than others, thus getting closer to the true power. Magic for such people was not a mystery but one big experiment and a system with limitless possibilities. Each such person was hailed as a genius and a talented magician.

But, one person was more unlucky than the others. In a world where everyone could use magic, this person could not see. It was a nightmare and the worst horror for every magician.

It was almost impossible to reach a high level of mastering magic with bad eyesight. Therefore, there was no future for a blind person. Usually, such people still die at an early age because of their dangers.

Nevertheless, this person was able to survive. Even though he was blind, he could see what others could not. He could not see the world that others contemplated every day, yet he could see the true face of magic]

Wain didn\'t know what to say. This description was like a whole story that ended up being a myth.

"It\'s incredible..." Wain muttered, and the space around him began to collapse.

Crackling.

That\'s when the book of spheres began to fall apart.

Ria, Emola, and Nirkad were already ready for battle.

"He\'s been in this for so long. Damn it, it\'s been a whole week!" Proclaimed Nirkad.

Ria nodded, "Yes, that means he\'s just as ready to fight as we are. Be careful. He might decide to sacrifice himself to kill you."

"Miss Ria, is the plan the same?" Emola asked.

"Yes, at my command, we activate our Beyond. He is quite strong and should not die in a few attacks. But, don\'t you dare kill him, dead he is useless." Ria said seriously.

Crackle.

The sphere of books fell apart. The massive debris fell on a layer of clouds and plummeted to the bottom. It was like a meteorite falling.

In the center of the sphere was Wain. When Ria saw him, a layer of flame appeared on her body, and she was ready to attack.

Wain looked condescendingly at them. His gaze was serene and calm. This alarmed Ria. She realized that the situation had changed dramatically.

Ria extended her hand upward and clenched her fist. The next moment they all activated their Beyond.

Wain smirked and muttered, "You\'re finished."

Then he activated the third form.
