Chapter 196 Upgrade



"They are all amazing spells… I wonder if there's still someone who had recorded any of these spells." Vale muttered after closing the book.

The book is titled The Strange Spells of the Ancient World and true to its title, it indeed contains a few spells that are strange yet amazing spells of the ancient world.

First, he found the very complicated Spell Model of the Meteor Summoning Spell… There is also the Ash Resurrection, Body Restoration, Avatar Creation, Shadow Mutilation, Water Embodiment, and Divine Lightning Call…

These Spell Models should be incredibly valuable if people can still record these spells in their Spell Lights. Unfortunately, none of these Spell Models have any values at the moment.

All these spells were something Vale would want to record if possible.

Anyway, there are other spell models but they are unfortunately incomplete so there was no way to learn them even if there is a possibility to record the spell.

These spells have incomplete model designs and they are the Abyssal Flame, Undead Resurrection, Miracle Catalyst, and Angel Summoning Spell.

As for those really strange ones, they were the Dice Summoning Spell, the Cursed Door Spell, and some other spells that have very random or even unhelpful effects in his opinion.

The Dice Summoning Spell can lead to a catastrophe if it landed on Number 1. This is a luck-based spell and could even lead to your death. On the other hand, if it landed on Number 6, it may bring you a miracle but it can also be a twisted miracle depending on the effect you wanted to have. It is an unwanted spell in Vale's opinion.

As for the Cursed Door Spell, it was some sort of teleportation spell where any door you open can bring you elsewhere. Unfortunately, the destination of this spell can't be controlled at all. The other side is random and Vale couldn't help but feel that this is such a stupid spell… After all, it requires a stroke of immense luck to ensure your safety on the other side.

Nevertheless, Vale enjoyed reading the book.

Although he wasn't sure whether these spells are the Divine Arts he was searching for, learning about them feels like he was able to see a different world of mysticism…

The Planar Spells were indeed spells that weren't part of the twelve Arcane Paths!

At most, some other spells like Meteor Summoning can probably be copied by some First-Class Elementalists but they can only create imitations of these spells and will not be able to summon a real meteor that will come from the heavens…

After a moment of appreciation for the book he just read, Vale copied the Spell Models of all the spells with complete model designs. 

He wasn't sure whether he would be able to use them but he has a strange feeling that it wouldn't be a waste of time learning about these Planar Spells.

'In the end, I didn't find any articles related to their appearance… I'm still unsure whether these otherworldly beings that have appeared in the past are the immortals I'm looking for…' Vale mused as he looked at the books in the library.

He didn't feel dejected over this matter and even felt closer to the truth. He didn't expect to find all the information he needed as soon as he entered the library's second floor anyway.

It was all fine as long as he slowly learns about them.

'Well, since I still have plenty of time, I should explore the whole place and find other interesting books to read.' Vale thought as he stood up to read other books.

It doesn't have to be anything related to the Otherworldly Beings, Planar Spells, or the Arcane Path's Origin… He started reading books about some subjects that will not be taught in the Academy…

The books were titled Astral Mysteries, Misguided Hexes, Undesirable Incantations of the Ancient World, and The Lost Arcane Path.

They were all interesting books and his 1 Contribution Point was certainly not wasted for coming here…

However, he was already in the library for 14 hours so Vale felt quite tired as he stood up to leave the room. He then noticed that there is already a different student at the second-floor counter.

Now that he thinks about it, the Library is actually open 24 hours which is very convenient for the students. Perhaps, only the Library Committee members are having trouble with it since they have to find someone to stand at the counter on the first and second floors in shifting schedules...

Anyway, Vale didn't think too much of it as he left to check the cafeteria and luckily, although it was still early in the morning, their place is still open and selling some freshly baked bread for the students.

After eating, Vale returned to his dorm and slept for about three hours before he returned to the library to ensure that he fully utilizes the contribution point he used…

It was a good thing that he still returned because the next book that he luckily picked up gave him a huge surprise…

[ Immortal Fragment has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

Vale stood rooted on his spot as soon as he saw the system's notification. He was so excited after seeing that it was an Immortal Fragment!

He's currently holding a book that has a thick cover like an alligator's leather painted in red. There was no title written on the cover so he was planning to open it up and see its content only to be welcomed by the pleasant sound of his system's notification.

Without any hesitation, Vale answered with a yes…

[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +5 ]

Because of this, his 99.78 Divinity Points should've exceeded by a hundred now…

As he thought of checking his attribute panel, he was surprised by a series of notifications coming from his system!

It has been quite a while since he got such a response from his Divine Extraction System so he knows that this is a good thing!
