Chapter 98: Learning More Magic Elements

-----

Inside the library of his castle, Chaos was reading a pile of books, mostly non-magic books that merely contained knowledge written on them and not spells to aid in spell-casting.

Chaos was curious about a way to learn new types of Magic, aside from the Chaos Magic he knew about. He had tried using other elements today in the morning while practicing magic with Abyss, but it seems that aside from the Skills that produced certain elements, such as his Eyes or others, he wasn't able to conjure these elements into Magic Spells aside from Skills.

This was certainly something interesting, although Chaos could gain access to other elements through eating other beings, he wasn't able to get elemental affinity!

Couldn't he get an element affinity skill by eating the fire dragon though? It made little sense that he couldn't be able to learn Magic!

But he wondered that if perhaps, what he lacked was knowledge.

Chaos Magic surged out of his body without issues because it was a fundamental part of his very soul, however, aside from this element, other elements only emerged with the aid of the System through Skills, without the use of Skills, the only element he was able to summon was Chaos. His eyes were also part of a Skill, so he couldn't include them.

He was also curious about learning Necromancy as well, as he wanted to learn the legacy that his father left behind, and this entire library filled to the brim with books of all sorts was his greatest inheritance and treasure.

Due to this, Chaos wondered that if what he required to use Magic of other elements was actual knowledge and learning comprehension of magic and its fundamental uses.

There were all sorts of books in the library, which he began to wander around while picking everything he found interesting.

Abyss had accompanied him this time, although Dura wasn't good with stuff like this so even she ended not sticking with Chaos this time, and Natalia was busy hunting monsters, Belphegor was also busy hunting and doing other things, such as commanding the squadrons to practice fighting techniques, catching souls for Chaos' daily meals, and more.

Erebus could have come, but he had decided to "grow stronger for papa" and he went into a solo journey into the Boundless Abyss Dungeon to gain more power and cross the progression wall into Pseudo Demi Deity.

Due to this, Chaos and Abyss were the only ones in this large library as of now, so Abyss was a bit nervous, considering this to be a little date of sorts, while Chaos was concentrating on other things.

Chaos was walking through the corridors of the immense and beautiful library, as Abyss rushed at his side carrying a few books she looked for herself.

"My lord, what do you think of these books?" she asked with an innocent smile.

Chaos glanced at the books as he read their titles.

"Flora and Fauna of Ginnungagap, an Encyclopedia, The Wonderful Journey of Blax Dexter, Delving into the Unknown, a Warlock's Insanity, The Little Spider Princess… Abyss these are not books that could help me learn magic comprehension, they're mostly general knowledge and… what seems to be a fairy tale," said Chaos.

"Eeh? B-But it has pretty pictures!" said Abyss.

"Right… You don't know how to read…" said Chaos, as he realized that Abyss, unlike him who acquired Letter Deciphering, didn't know how to read, so she only guided herself through which book had pretty pictures on it.

It was certainly cute, but Chaos felt the necessity of teaching her how to read.

"How about while I learn magic, I also teach you how to read?" asked Chaos.

"Ah! R-Really?" asked Abyss, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Yeah, I believe that it could help you read whatever you want by yourself, so you can have more fun," said Chaos.

"Yaay!"

Abyss seemed happy over such a little thing as being taught how to read. Perhaps she knew how to read the words of Earth, but the language used in these books seemed completely different.

Chaos and Abyss then continued seeking books until Chaos had gathered over twenty books about magic.

Magic Comprehension, Apprentice Magician Basic Magic Book, Magic Runes, The Art of Magic, Wizardly For Dummies, The Value of Magic, Top 10 Best Ways To Learn Magic, and so on… there were certainly some interesting titles, but all these books were made to teach magic even to a toddler, so Chaos was hopeful that he could learn well.

He quickly sat down and began to read each book in quick succession, his reading speed was incredibly fast and so was his comprehension speed, in ten minutes he read an entire book 3 times, and he decided to move on to the next over and over again until all twenty of the books were read up to 10 times each, while all of the information he had read was memorized inside of his mind to the point that Chaos's brain was like a computer.

"I see, so that's how it is…"

Abyss was reading books with pictures while Chaos did this, as Chaos rubbed his chin while nodding, and suddenly raised his hand, without conjuring any skill, he decided to conjure pure magic, Fire Attribute Magic!

"Ember…"

Flash!

A magic circle emerged above the palm of his hand, as Chaos glanced with amusement as a little ember of fire appeared out of thin air, blazing with intensity! The magic circle construction was almost instantaneous due to his amazing comprehension speed, he was able to construct it in seconds due to his thought speed as well!

Abyss was left speechless as she saw Chaos conjure elementary-level spells one by one…

"Rock."

Flash!

A rock suddenly was conjured over Chaos' palm.

"Ice Mist…"

Suddenly, the air became very cold.

Chaos discovered that he had Affinity for Fire, Earth, Ice, and Darkness Magic, probably from the strongest monsters he had eaten.

Ding!

[You learned he [Fire Attribute Magic: Level 1], [Earth Attribute Magic: Level 1], [Ice Attribute Magic: Level 1], and [Dark Attribute Magic: Level 1] Abilities!]
