Chapter 21: Obtaining the Book of Sages

"The only thing left is the Furnace of the Sun! Now! You can return to the world soon! My dear goddess!" A woman's lustful voice came from the door of the Red Moon Guide.

"Squeak." The woman pushed the door open and walked in: "Who are you?"

"I am Richard, are you Analoze?"

Richard looked at the staff in her hand. On the top of the staff was a book with an unknown golden flower engraved on it. Even at a certain distance, Richard could clearly feel the gloomy energy in the book.

"Impossible! You are clearly on the ground, how can you be here!"

Richard knew something was wrong when he felt that his connection with the Red Moon Guide was cut off. Richard immediately used the blue crystal to teleport. Fortunately, the research department had the first sample of the new teleportation beacon. Richard successfully teleported back to the maze, and used the tentacles that can travel through the ground. His whole body turned into tentacles, and using his understanding of the maze, he finally arrived at the room where the Solar Furnace was located before Analoze.

"Do you think I will tell you?"

"Humph, no matter how you come back, no matter who you are, you have to die here today!"

Analoze raised his weapon and fired a shadow cannonball, but the cannonball did not cause a huge explosion like before.

"This... How is this possible! Not even the clothes were torn!" Analoze looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. Richard didn't even tear his clothes.

"You mean clothes? These are all conjured up." Richard directly demonstrated to her the formation of his clothes. Under the effect of energy, Richard's clothes turned into a T-shirt, then a shirt, then red, then blue, and then green.

"Eh!" Analoze gritted her teeth and made a strange sound "Ah!"

The room suddenly turned purple and black, and all the objects disappeared.

"This is my domain! No one can defeat me here! You will die here and become my food!"

Analoze's figure attacked from all directions.

"Thank you for the strong shadow power." Richard gave Analoze a 'sweet' smile, and then the whole person became blurred.

Analoze in the shadows only saw big mouths appearing in all directions, eating all his images.

Richard's figure gathered again, and tentacles grew out of his body, stabbing in all directions of the domain, greedily absorbing the shadow energy of the domain.

"This! This is impossible!" Analoze escaped from the shadows, covering his chest, gasping for breath, and was almost sucked by the tentacles.

"You know nothing about power." Richard walked up to Analoze and turned on the show-off mode.

"Shadow energy is the best nutrient for every ancient god. Absorbing shadow power is the most basic ability of every ancient god. Otherwise, why would I come alone to stop you?"

"Ancient God? I have read countless books and have never heard of a god like you."

"So you know nothing about power. It's okay to tell you that I come from another world..."

"Go to hell!" Analoze rushed towards Richard with bright light all over her body.

"Villains die because they talk too much. Do you think I'm not on guard against you?"

Richard pressed a palm on Analoze's chest to infuse the violent shadow energy into Analoze's body, directly destroying her organs.

"Plop" Analoze's body fell to the ground, unable to move. She stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, opened her mouth and uttered three syllables, and then her soul dissipated.

The domain was broken with her death, and Richard returned to the room of the Sun Furnace.

"Maybe she was talking about Zanfad just now? Isn't that the former king of Kulizani? By the way, this old woman has a good figure." Richard recalled the feeling just now and glanced at her corpse.

"It's a pity that this body can't be used anymore."

Richard shook his head and began to look for the artifacts collected by Analoze.

"Where is it? Where is it?" Richard stripped Analoze naked and only found the Holy Grail and the Book of Sages.

"Hey, there's a ring." Richard pulled the ring off Analoze's finger.

Richard poured his energy into the ring and felt the space inside the ring.

"This is indeed the ring that Primadis mentioned." Previously, Primadis's report contained various intelligence about Analoze, one of which was that Analoze had a prop for storing items.

"Well, it's here as expected." Richard summoned the Red Moon Guide and the Dragon Slayer Sword from the ring, and put the ring on his hand.

The Book of Sages on the ground seemed to sense the existence of the other four artifacts, and the energy inside began to become restless.

Richard picked up the Book of Sages. In Analoze's domain, except for the shadow energy of the Book of Sages, all other shadow energies were absorbed. It was not that Richard did not absorb them, but that he could not absorb them.

"Open me... learn from me... revive me... I can give you power... I can give you knowledge... I can give you everything you desire..."

A voice suddenly came to Richard's mind, and this voice reminded him of the voice of a beautiful big sister he often saw when he played World of Warcraft - the soul healer.

"I desire Nako." Richard replied subconsciously.

"..."

"Resurrect me... I have what you want..."

"That's right, after all, the goddess is also a woman... What things don't women have? Ah, I have it." Richard thought.

"I desire Ding Ding."

"..." The Book of Sages was silent for a while.

"Resurrect me... I have the Ding Ding you want..."

"Oh my god! This is fine!" Richard decided not to waste words with the Book of Sages, and put the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Holy Grail into the ring, and the energy of the Book of Sages became weak. But one emotion was more intense in the Book of Sages, and that was resentment.

"Are you okay?" Selena, who had just returned from the entrance of the maze, asked Richard.

"What do you think?" Richard opened his hands.

"That's it!" Selena stared at the Book of Sages in Richard's hand.

"The Book of Darkness!" she said.

"Huh? Isn't this the Book of Sages?"

"I've seen the pattern of this book in the church's collection, and the pattern on it is exactly the same as the dark power. It is called the Book of Darkness and has the power to bewitch people's hearts. Anyone who opens it will go crazy without exception. Due to the huge harm it causes, this book has been sealed by the church until it was stolen thirty years ago."

"So that's how it is. Speaking of bewitching people's hearts, she has been telling me to open the book and she will give me everything. There is something I'm looking forward to."

Selena asked fearfully, "Then did you agree?"

Richard patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Of course not, I don't have anything I want."

"Oh, that's good."

Selena breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Analoze who was naked on the ground. Selena seemed to have thought of something and looked at Richard in horror.

Richard followed Selena's gaze and saw that Analoze seemed to have thought of something. He shouted at Selena who ran out of the room: "Things are not what you think! Am I that kind of person!"
