Chapter 688: Taking a step forward (2)

And even though that it is still true that Willpower could not be measured, even in this new world of magic and impossibility, Azief discovers that when he uses Willpower too much and taxes himself, he could feel something draining out of him.

The more it was drained out of him, the more unmotivated he becomes and the more he was susceptible to mental weakness.

It was like happiness, no…not happiness but the very thing that made him, him was sapped away.

Lie apart of himself was taken away. This did not mean memories but the emotions of that memories.

It also felt like his determination were dissipating.

It was like you are in a diet and you promised to yourself that you would not eat anything unhealthy.

You were determined at first but then when it comes to the test, you just fail because your determination is nowhere to be found.

It was like that, only it was ten times worse. It felt for a moment like you have no desire and no thoughts. Like something that have never lived and never existed.

For a moment, it felt like you are a ghost and you are watching yourself without any emotions and desire.

But the runes of Uhur glows at that time. It is because Azief had experience it, he had a new appreciation to this rune.

Then there is Raidho.

It is the rune of speed.

Azief believe that if he had not had this rune, he would not be able to catch up to Will in terms of speed.

Of course, if Will uses his Disk, it would be hard for him to keep up with Will in terms of speed.

But now that he is in Divine Comprehension, even if Will is faster than him, he could just lock space using the Laws of the World.

He did not have to be the fastest when he controls the Laws.Then there is Kanaan. Like the Daerg rune he did not see any other benefit to it other than dulling some pain away.

It is rune of mortality and pain. When Azief first learned it, it describes it as a rune to focus one mind for enlightenment using pain as the medium.

Pain and the possibility of dying could sometimes bring out the potential lying dormant in one's body.

Then there is Haglaz the rune of chaos. From what he understands it, the rune could help in understanding concept of Chaos and probably related to the Laws of Chaos.

And there is Aergliso which means to be destroyed. This is the runes that he possesses when he was in Disk Formation. Whenever he gets a rune he would tattoo the runes under his skin.

He even had a tattooist in retainer. Of course that Tattooist works inside the Shadow Guards.

But this time when he touches the ring, he got a surprise. He saw all the runes that he learned is floating inside his Inner Universe.

There are no new runes. Only the same old runes floating in different position. Each time it changes it position, the runes changes it nature.

It combines, break off, and complement each other.

At first he didn't understand what it was supposed to show him. Each of the rings would reveal its abilities to him each time he rises in power.

So, he was slightly confused when he only saw the runes floating inside his mind, like some words he could not grasp.

Then he understood it. He understood why there is no new runes.

'The positions change the nature' Azief thought.

He needs to combine the runes. These runes are meant to be combined. It will take trial and error to create new runes.

'No' he whispers to himself. It is not that he would create a new rune. The runes already existed. He just rediscovering it.

This would probably take even more time to complete than the other. The stronger he became, the harder it is to get free gifts he thought to himself.

He used to be excited when he got to know a new rune. At that time, he would inscribe it on his weapons. B

But now, his entire body is the weapon. The entire world is his weapon. He had no sword in his hand. Because the sword is in his heart. And his heart could move the Heavens.

As such, all under Heaven is under his sword.

Then he touches the last ring on his finger

The last ring on his finger is the most mysterious ring among the ten rings. It is the Ring of Ancients

From what he understood about the ring it contains ancient magic, dark curses and other kinds of forbidden magic forgotten by the times.

Of all the years that he possesses this particular ring, he never had any knowledge about what it possesses.

The ring had always deemed him unworthy to know the knowledge stored inside it. But this time when he touched it, finally knowledge was revealed to him.

'I guess the Divine Comprehension is the dividing line' he thought to himself. There is only one knowledge that is revealed to him if you could even call it knowledge

The ring of Ancients revealed him a name. And the name that was revealed to him is a name he very much knows.

Borgan. That is the name that is revealed to him. When the knowledge streamed into his mind, it revealed to him that Borgan is the source of See'ran race ability to see through the secrets of the Universe.

The See'ran race is a race unique in the Omniverse in that they have the ability to see through one future.

Even the Norns of Asgard and the Oracles of Olympus was rumored to seek the guidance of See'ran race.

He understands why the name was revealed to him and how to use that name.

the Ring of Ancients could summon the ancient Will of Great Ancient Beings. And what is more ancient than the Etherna race?

Azief did not know this but Wargod also use this type of summoning when he did not want to reveal his identity as an Etherna. In Interium when he wanted to release the soul of a Jotnar, he called upon the name of Reorgan.

This is what Azief now possess. The ability to summon the magic of Etherna and utilizes their law for a brief amount of time.

There are some requirements to it he notices. But he just nodded. He just knows that any powerful power that needs to be sued also have a high price of using it so he was not that concerned.

Azief then stop. To him, only a minute had passed.

The moment he removes his hand from the rings, the golden glow that had turn night into day slowly dissipated.

The sky grows dim, the brightness of the golden glow is slowly being replaced by the dark of night as one could see the darkness of night and the twinkling stars above the sky.

Those who is in the dark alley looking fearful at that place in the center of the Pandemonium finally could breathe in relieved feeling.

Those who prays in the secluded corner of their home finally stop praying. The day has ended, night has fallen and Pandemonium is finally silent.
