"…Besides you and Kayla, no one else on Aidos knows I have this with me."

A black portal opened up underneath it as he spoke, allowing the Arcanum to fall right through it and into his inventory.

"That so…"

"Yep. It's gonna be very useful the next time I fight an epic-level existence like Craitid."

[Master, why are you jinxing yourself?]

The hero's contracted spirit manifested her physical body right next to him and asked with a deadpan gaze, a question the boy only shrugged and replied.

"I'm not. I'm just being ready for any unexpected circumstances.

I didn't foresee Dominik Velak suddenly gaining a Pseudo Authority of Death at the last moment. That wasn't even among all the possible scenarios I had planned out.

Something similar could happen in Lacertilia, the 'Giant Lizard' there might as well be stronger than I expect it to be, or may have more skills than I know of.

Besides, if I am unable to find who the Hero in the Beast kingdom is before the fight, then things would be a lot different.

Most importantly, I'd be going up against two Fingers of the Demonic Hand, one of which is stronger than Dominik was even at his prime, I gotta be ready for the unexpected."

[That so…]

"It is so."

Evan replied as he teleported over to what was left of the King's corpse and picked up the grimoire on the floor.

"Finally, I have this thing."

He appraised it after speaking, confirming that it was truly the same artifact from the game, one that the player was unfortunately unable to obtain.

|Akashic Page

Type; Ancient C?????????????????????????i???????????????????m???????????????s????????????????????o?????????????????????????????c???????????????? Grimoire.

The 'Akashic Page' is a mysterious and ancient Grimoire of unequalled significance.

Originally a 'Page' of the Valmone Universe's 'Akashic Record'— a naturally occurring nigh-omniscient C?????????????????????????i???????????????????m???????????????s????????????????????o?????????????????????????????c???????????????? artifact that holds almost all information about the Valmone Universe from the instant the big bang that created it happened till the present moment—it holds within its pages a compendium of all energy spells that have ever existed on the Prime World of Aidos.

The spells within this artifact that have transcended time and space can be cast with the aid of every energy type that exists on the planet, regardless of its polarity or alignment.

Effects:

It is impossible for the Owner of this Grimoire to ever receive backlash for a failed or disrupted spellcasting attempt.

Allows the Owner to harness the knowledge within to develop new, potent spells and magical techniques.

All spells of any energy type cast by the Owner have their cast times shortened, their efficiency increased, and their damage potential boosted and maximized.

Current Owner: None. |

"Oh, you're definitely gonna become mine soon enough."

When Luke and Kayla saw the description of the Grimoire, they didn't even know what reactions to have as both its origins and its effects left them lost for all kinds of words.

"All the World Magic Spells are inside here, and even spells from other Worlds too.

But unlike our world, it does not have 'all' the spells from those worlds.

Here, Have a look."

Evan casually tossed the Grimoire towards Luke who caught it and flipped through its pages, his eyes catching sight of countless spell circles from different magic systems, ones he recognized and countless others he did not.

He even saw the Spell that Evan had used against Dominik, the World Magic: Spell Number 13 there, along with the spell circles for the other 49 world magic spells.

"So, what do you plan to do with this?"

Luke tossed it back to Evan who caught it and dropped it inside his inventory, before replying.

"For starters, I plan to give it to Emperor Rudeus."

Just when Kayla was about to question why on Aidos he was gonna do that, he pointed towards the obliterated mountain right next to Verduracliff and spoke.

"How about we get out of here first before Kolvar's lackey gets here?"

Cabinet Room A2

Royal Palace, Gerfast

GWE

February 19th

Year 1053

Emperor Rudeus had his hand pressed to his forehead with an exasperated look on his face as he watched the Senior Court Mages of his Empire, powerful old men and women who had been in service before he was even born, clambering about around a book that had been placed on the desk in front of them.

Even Jenson who was seated beside the Emperor was using all of his willpower to prevent himself from jumping into the fray.

Turning to Evan who was seated at his other end with a smile on his face, the Emperor sighed and asked.

"So? Where on Aidos did you find this thing?"

By 'this thing', he naturally meant the Grimoire that the Court Mages were just a step short of fighting each other for, one which contained lost magic spells from centuries ago, along with powerful Nuclear Magic.

But looking at it, one would realise that it was not the Real 'Akashic Page' that Evan had acquired a few days ago, but a visibly obvious smaller-sized replica with only a small percentage of the spells contained within it.

The boy was definitely not gonna give away the original, not when he wasn't high from smoking trees.

"A Ruined Ancient Kingdom in the Northern Part of our Continent."

As he replied, he appraised Jenson who was eyeing the replica Akashic Page and noted that the man's level had reached 480.

'Guess he's not relying on his ability to use Tier 5 Magic despite being a grandmaster to maintain his Chief Court Mage position anymore.'

Meanwhile, the Senior Court Mages were all engrossed in the Magic Tome, acting like kids who had just been given their favourite toy and were all struggling for a chance to play with it.

"I see….so this is the full version of that spell we found in Ahwen's ruins!"

"Indeed…"

"Who's with their board?"

"Me!"

Right there and then, they pulled out a 1 by 2 metre rectangular board and began scribbling magic formations on it with markers, speaking about magic theories that Evan and Rudeus could not understand.

Within a few minutes, they successfully recreated a lost Tier 4 Magic Circle.

One of them roused his magic power and muttered the chant, activating a miniature version of the magic circle and upon seeing it activate smoothly, he shouted out.

"We did it!!"

"Yeahhhh!!!"

"WOOHOOO!!!"

The sight of these old men and women who clearly didn't look their ages jumping around and fist pumping in the air made the Emperor sigh once more before turning to Evan and asking.

"So? What do you want?"

"…I don't follow."

"There's no way you brought this to me for free, what do you want?"

Even though the Emperor decided not to beat around the bush, Evan still wanted to mess around a little, rubbing his palms together as he spoke.

"Well…I was just being a good citizen who was helping to strengthen my country's military power."

When he said that, Rudeus narrowed his eyes in suspicion as he did not know Evan to be the selflessly patriotic type.

"BUT…!"

'There it is—his real intention.'

The young hero continued speaking, with the Emperor's thoughts unbeknownst to him.

"If you so insist, on rewarding me for this…you can start with this."

He pulled out a paper from his inventory and placed it on the table, before sliding it over to the Emperor with a bright smile.

'This kid! He had a list of demands beforehand!'

Rudeus took his all to keep his poker face on and prevent his brow from twitching as he picked up the paper and looked through it.

At the same time, Luke entered the room, catching sight of the jubilating mages before asking Evan.

"You've given them already?"

"Yep."

Upon taking a second glance in the direction of the mages, Luke could not help but notice the obvious difference in size between the book he saw a few days ago and this one.

'I recall that thing being bigger than this…'

He turned to Evan who only tilted his head to the side with a 'genuinely' confused gaze, something that didn't go unnoticed by the Emperor.

"Is there a problem?"

"…No."

The blue-eyed man answered after a brief pause, deciding to not bother about it as it didn't concern him much.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

The young hero suddenly spoke, before pulling out a large black box from his inventory and setting it on the table.

The instant he opened it, the ambient energy concentration in the room tripled, drawing the attention of everyone else in the room.

Even the Imperial Guardsmen who were right out the door, barged in with weapons drawn, thinking someone was attacking the Emperor.

As for Evan, he just casually searched through the box, pulling out Artifact after Artifact, each one releasing powerful energy fluctuations.

"There It is."

Finally finding what he was after, he pulled it out and dropped it on the table, before tossing everything else back in the box, which in turn returned to his inventory.

He tossed the item he fished out towards Luke; a finely crafted leather belt adorned with intricately etched silver patterns that gleamed lightly.

Embedded in the buckle was a radiant shield-shaped gemstone pulsating with the hues of the twilight sky.

"Hmm. This would work."

The man placed it in his interspatial ring before taking his leave from the room, leaving behind the dumbfounded court mages who then turned their gazes towards Evan.

"And where the heck did you get all those?"

When Emperor Rudeus voiced out the question they all wanted to ask, the boy replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"A Ruined Ancient Kingdom in the Southern Part of Our Continent."

"…You're gonna give me a list of all these 'Ruined Ancient kingdoms' soon enough."

Hearing Rudeus' words, Evan grinned mischievously before pulling out another paper from his inventory and sliding it over as he spoke.

"Well…in return for that list…"

Recognizing it as another list of demands, the Emperor's brow twitched as he barely held himself back from flipping out on Evan.

'This kid!! He did that on purpose knowing fully well I'd ask about it!'

It didn't take the man long to figure out Evan's plan, and the reason he had chosen this time and place to give Luke the Soul Guard belt.

As for Evan, the boy just silently smiled while tapping his fingers together.
