Chapter 243 Stamp

The first thing Sylas saw was a key and a lock. What was odd about the key was that it was a blank, and its body looked particularly narrow and thin compared to the bulkiness of the lock. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Intuitively, Sylas understood, and soon enough, the information he had assimilated with confirmed it.

The first step in this trial of sorts was to form a Rune that could unlock this lock and make it to the next one.

Sylas observed the lock, and then looked at the key. His visualization then swallowed up the lock and he began to analyze it.

Soon, his expression became a bit weird... because he felt that the solution was too easy.

After some thought, he decided to follow through with it. It wasn't like there was a penalty for being wrong. This world was his own personal tutor.

However, quickly, he found a problem.

'How do I form a Rune?'

Until now, he had only ever taken Runes from the world around him. The one time he hadn't, the Rune had come from the disk. But here, there were no such things. Even when he activated Enchanted Scholar, he couldn't see the Rune he needed.

He realized then that he had to form the Rune he needed, but he wasn't sure exactly how to do that.

'Maybe?'

Sylas remembered the Visualized Conception of <Psychedelic Punch>. Could it be a similar matter here?

He tried it, and soon, he felt his Charisma and Will moving in an odd way. He had never felt it so tangibly before.

The fourth try, it spun properly. But just when it was about to unlock, Sylas pulled out and entered a state of meditation again.

He felt that he could have unlocked it that time, but he wasn't satisfied. He could get it closer, more refined.

As he made a fifth attempt, he was beginning to get into the flow of it. It only took about ten seconds compared to his first 30-second attempt. And it only took up about 10% of his mental stamina as well.

He tried again and again, and then again.

As he did so, he even began to be capable of thinking of other things. It was odd... why was being more familiar with the Rune the equivalent of making it easier to draw as well? It felt like he was missing something.

Technically speaking, even if it took him longer to draw, it should take the same amount of Will to draw. Even if there was some change in the Wisdom it took up, it couldn't be this drastic.

As Sylas focused, he realized what was happening.

The number of strokes.

The first time he drew the Rune, he had to press down, lift, correct, and then press down again and again. But by the fifth time, the number of times he had to "lift" and correct himself was fewer.

It was almost like piercing into a veil, but every time he retreated, finding the exact spot to continue became harder and harder.

In that case, rather than trying to form the Rune one step at a time, shouldn't he instead think of it like a stamp? If he formed the Visualized Conception all at once, and then pressed it into reality, wouldn't that be the fastest and most perfect method?

The trouble was that that was difficult. There was a reason that it wasn't Sylas' first choice, and he instead took this path of slow and steady instead.

If Runes were two-dimensional, it would be fine. But because they were three-dimensional, it was far more difficult. It was like memorizing a three-dimensional puzzle all at once and replicating it in a single instant.

But as he drew the Rune again and again, he became familiar with it enough that this was quickly becoming a more feasible option.

And then, on his eighth attempt, his Will suddenly pressed down like an envelope stamp, pressing down its intention into the world.
