Chapter 81 History Making

After coming out of his depressed state, Atticus expressed his gratitude to Grimestone and turned his gaze to the slate he had just engraved.

The words emitted a deep red glow and were deeply embedded into the slate. As Atticus lifted it, he noticed that its weight hadn't changed significantly; the only difference was the glowing red words on the slate.

He infused mana into the slate, causing the red glow to intensify. He then tossed it into the air above him, and the slate crumbled, immediately forming a transparent red shield that enveloped him.

Atticus observed the shield carefully. 'Interesting, this has huge potential and It requires very little mana to activate. As long as I create the runes in advance, I should be able to use it effectively in battle,' he thought, his mind racing with ideas on how to leverage this newfound ability to enhance his combat prowess.

He understood that he wouldn't be able to engrave any runes in the midst of battle. Just imagine losing the will to defend, or even worse, the will to move during a life-and-death battle. It would result in instant death, a scenario he had no intention of going through.

'I'll have to find a way to increase my will somehow,' Atticus thought to himself. His primary limitation was his will, which felt incredibly underwhelming compared to his high intelligence.

And since will was an essential attribute for creating more complex and powerful runes, he recognized the need to improve it as soon as possible.

He shifted his gaze away from the shield and looked at Grimestone, who was still staring at him in shock.

Atticus inquired, "Can I purchase that recovery potion at the Emporium?" He pointed at the empty vial on the table. n..o-/V(-e-.l)(b.-I-)n

Grimestone snapped out of his daze and replied, "Yes, you can get it at the Emporium. However, it's quite expensive." He then added a cautionary note, "And also, do not drink it more than once a day."

Grimestone wished he could shout to the entire human domain about the once-in-a-generation prodigy he was currently mentoring.

He shook his head in disappointment, 'I shouldn't engrave anything today, I could truly kill myself if I lose all motivation currently,' he thought to himself.

As Atticus exited the Runes division building, he made his way to the emporium to purchase the potion.

Unfortunately, Grimestone had forgotten to mention the name of the potion. However, after explaining its effects to the clerk, she promptly informed him of its name: Will Renewal.

Atticus thanked her and began perusing the list in search of it. Upon finding it, his eyes couldn't help widen, expressing his surprise, '1000 Raven points each!?' in his thoughts.

After a few seconds, overcoming his initial shock, he reluctantly purchased two potions, nearly depleting his Raven points. With the potions in hand, he left the building and headed back to his room.

After a few minutes, Atticus reached his room and immediately made his way to the training room. He sat down cross-legged and began to reflect on everything that had happened that day.

He had taken the first step in learning how to create runes, although he knew there was a long journey ahead before he could be considered a true runesmith, it was still something.

"I need to find a way to increase my will," he muttered, trying to think of a way to increase his will without risking his life.

"Speaking of will, I wonder if the system has added it to my stats." Curiosity piqued, Atticus decided to check if the system had included 'will' in his stats.

"Status," he muttered, and a holographic interface materialized in front of him.
