Chapter 357 Growth Weapons!
Aiwass looked intently at the deep purple gem.
Like a sound that travels through a deep valley, an echo is heard at the other end.
The bottom of Aiwas's pupils gradually turned into a brilliant deep purple.
The purple gem, as if sensing something, flew up on its own. It hovered in front of Aiwass, emitting an incomparably blazing light.
Aiwass's right hand suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably - as if some force was stirring from the palm of his hand.
I never write of suffering, I will hide half of the rituals. Only the law belongs to everyone.
A light, echoing voice sounded in Aiwas's heart.
Merlin and Sherlock were watching the scene intently and did not hear the voice.
Do what you want to do; this is the whole law.
Aiwass felt something in his heart, and following his growing instinct, he raised his right hand. Dark magic power gushed out uncontrollably, forming a deep purple line between his right hand and the gem.
The voice, accompanied by strange words that Aiwass had never seen before, emerged in Aiwass's consciousness:
You must know that those chosen as apostles and priests of the Pillars are the priests of the great beast.
【Restrict the words of great sin! 】
They will gather my sons as believers, and they will bring the Heart of the Stars to the people.
At that moment, Aiwass had an illusion before his eyes.
He saw that "himself" seemed to be in a small ritual venue, kneeling towards something.
Although he was still in hallucination, Aiwass clearly realized that the "himself" at this moment was his grandfather Jacob.
And what appeared in the middle of the magic circle like an illusion was a strange sacred existence.
It glowed, with a human-like body. But it was impossible to tell male from female, old from young. Its entire body radiated a white glow, and behind it were curved wings formed from infinitely branching antlers.
It seems to be here, yet it seems not to be there. Its existence does not bring any changes or influence to the surroundings, as if it is just a phantom.
"Don't change a word, Prophet. You can't see the mystery."
The voice rang out repeatedly.
It wasn't in any language Aiwass knew, but he understood the meaning.
“The child born from your heart and intestines knows everything.
"He comes not from the East, nor from the West. He does not come from any house that you know of.
"My sacred number is 11, the number of those who belong to us. To the foolish I am 9, to the righteous I am 8, and the 1 of 8. To the blind I appear black, to those who see I appear blue and gold.
"I am the intoxicating serpent who gives knowledge, happiness, and glory! If you want to worship me, you must drink wine and the secret medicine I told my prophets until you are drunk.
"There is nothing to fear, child. Not men, not fate, not the gods. There are no gods in this world.
"There is light in my hidden name, just as the sons of midnight are the sun.
"Spread your wings, call forth all the light within you—and come to me!"
These words seemed not to be spoken to Jacob, but to Aiwass in the future, penetrating time.
"come to me!"
"come to me!"
It was a voice of immense power and longing.
That emotion lingered through time like a blazing fire, yet within it there was a venomous quality, like a coiled snake.
Aiwass suddenly woke up from the hallucination.
When he woke up, he was sweating profusely.
...What is that?
Is that the "divine entity"?
A sense of panic still lingered in the depths of Aiwas's consciousness—as if some kind of beast had stared at him across infinite time.
But then, a lot of ritual knowledge that he had never known before emerged in his mind. This knowledge flowed through Aiwass's mind like a river, leaving no trace, and disappeared again as soon as it appeared.
Eventually only one remained.
——That is the knowledge related to the "Ritual: Tail Ring".
Now Aiwass has mastered the knowledge of this ceremony so well that he can even perform it himself.
It was only then that Aiwass suddenly realized... the power of the Nightmare Crystal had been exhausted. It was no longer a gem - or rather, it had never been a gem from the beginning, but the power of "dream" had caused Aiwass to see an illusion.
A thick book appeared in front of Aiwass.
It had a dark brown and black cover, with a sword-shaped cross star in the center made of white crystal. Above the cross, a crimson ring wrapped around the blade and hilt.
There is a snake head on the ring, making it look like an Ouroboros.
And beneath the blade, written in cursive script was the name of the book—The Book of Law.
Aiwass slowly reached out and touched the book.
At this moment, Aiwass suddenly thought of something and reacted immediately.
Just as Madam Mina predicted... when Aiwass got the book, he was standing with Sherlock and "someone she didn't know".
——That person is Merlin.
This also explains why Lady Mina spent so much energy on the divination. Because she was trying to divine an apostle...which meant that Merlin had no hostility, otherwise Merlin could have easily counterattacked from a distance.
When he touched the book, the white crystal was quickly filled with the misty purple aura and turned into a charming and mysterious amethyst.
And its name also appeared before Aiwass:
Aiwass's Book of Law (0/21)
【Extraordinary Equipment (Dark Purple)】
[Weapon-Magic Book]
[Module - Codex of Sins: Each time you register a different Phantom card, you gain 1 colorless mana (only one of each tarot card can be registered)]
[Extraordinary Module - Book of Law: Your spellcasting reach increases by 30 meters; the Phantom Cards you register in the Grimoire gain an additional 30 meters of spellcasting reach]
[Extraordinary Feature: At the cost of putting a registered Phantom Card that is not in cooldown into cooldown, another Phantom Card that is in cooldown becomes active again. 0 (based on registered Sin Cards) times per day]
[Extraordinary Features: (Unlocked after logging in with seven Phantom Magic Cards)]
[Sacred Characteristics: (Unlocked after logging in with fourteen Phantom Magic Cards)]
[Sacred Characteristics: (Unlocked after logging in with twenty-one Phantom Magic Cards)]
"--ah."
Aiwass sighed meaninglessly.
……finally.
Finally got it.
Aiwass sighed silently in his heart, feeling mixed emotions but also joy.
——It’s actually a growth-type weapon!
The first unlocked entry is the most needed "Burn Card"!
Yay, I’m graduated!
At least after all this time, it wasn't a loss...
This "Grimoire of Mortal Sin" is the exclusive weapon module for the Scholar of Mortal Sin.
It is completely for the combat style of the Great Sin Scholar - the "colorless mana" it provides for daily recharge is what the Great Sin Scholar needs most. Colorless mana can replace any kind of mana.
With this thing, Aiwass can even use the Thunder Halberd in his original form!
The special module of this book allows Aiwas to directly increase the casting distance by 30 meters while holding this book - for most phantom magic cards that require "contact" to cast spells, this is undoubtedly a huge enhancement!
For example, if Aiwass had this card before, he would not have to use Flying Card against the King of the Wild Hunt.
He can directly add status to the King of the Wild Hunt from a distance of thirty or even sixty meters!
but……
A doubt arose in Aiwass's mind.
The tarot deck should consist of 22 cards, with six cardinal sins, each of which takes up two spaces.
In other words, after removing the Sin card, the Sin Scholar's regular skill column should have ten cards. Ten instant-cast, daily strategic skills, plus six rotating summons... This is the Sin Scholar's normal combat method before he is promoted again.
Generally speaking, there should be twenty-two copies of the Codex of Sins.
Why is one missing? Which one is missing?
As soon as Aiwas thought about it, it opened by itself.
This book is not blank—it records a large number of rituals, including some ancient and mysterious ones. But as the guy who calls himself "the holy number 11" said, "He will hide half of the rituals."
——All the rituals here are only half!
And what's missing is the crucial half... It's the kind of thing where "those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand, I can't tell you." If you already know the ritual, you only need to see half to immediately understand which half it is. But if you don't know the ritual, it's impossible to deduce the other half from this one.
"What a broken chapter!"
Aiwass cursed out loud.
