Chapter 179:
Almost everyone in the Kuntachi lineage was present at Elder Alphondal’s presentation.
After all, Alphondal was the oldest elder of the Kuntachi Clan, not to mention the most respected.
Therefore, it was inevitable that anyone with the Kuntachi surname would be present.
“Now, our eldest elder, Alphondal, will present the results of his lifelong research. Please give him a round of applause.”
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
The announcement was greeted with a standing ovation from the Kuntachi clansmen following patriarch Conrad’s opening remarks.
*Shoooo*
Then Elder Alphondal glided in like a ghost and stood on the dais.
“To think he’s still alive!”
“My God!”
The Kuntachi clan members were stunned to see Elder Alphondal alive and kicking.
Even though they had heard that he was alive when they heard the announcement.
“Thank you all for coming.”
Alphondal beamed and greeted the Kuntachi clan members.
“Many must have been surprised that this old man is still alive. Hahaha. The reason I’ve managed to survive and come this far is to complete my research and contribute to the development of the future of our Clan before I die.
As he said this, Elder Alphondal pulled out a vial of green liquid from his chest and showed it to everyone.
“This is the new medicine that I have created with a lifetime of research.”
“Oooooooooooh!”
*Chatter* *Chatter!*
The room exploded with excitement at the news of a new medicine.
“What kind of new medicine?”
“Is it a cure for the athlete’s foot?”
“Yaa! This guy! It can’t be for an athlete’s foot, it has to be a cure for hair loss!”
“It would be great if it were a cure for rhinitis.”
The audience at the presentation was interested in what kind of new medicine Alphondal might have developed.
‘Was his research about developing a new drug? What kind of medicine is it?’
Otto was also curious about the new medicine that Alphondal had developed.
“I named it... Diane. I worked hard to create it, and I thought it would be okay if this old man gave it a name. This way, even after I leave this world, people might remember me, right? Kekkek!”
“So, what are the effects of this new drug?”
Otto raised his hand and asked Alphondal about the effects of the new drug.
“This new drug is....”
Smiling, Alphondal replied.
“It’s a cure for dementia.”

‘Huh?’
Otto doubted his own ears.
A cure for dementia!
Wasn’t he looking for a cure against dementia already!
“I-Is that, really true?”
“That’s right.”
“A cure for dementia? Really?”
“It’s already been nearing completion for a very long time. KeulKeulKeul!.”
“Oh, my God.”
Otto was amazed.
“A cure for dementia!”
“Ohhhhh!”
“Oh My!”
Those in the audience were equally stunned.
Dementia is an incurable disease that cannot be treated even with magic.
It was a disease that inevitably manifests as the worst form of aging for any living being.
Moreover, dementia was also caused by a wide range of diseases, making its root causes highly diverse.
‘You’ve developed a cure for a disease that modern medicine can’t cure?’
Otto couldn’t believe it.
In a world where medicine and science were highly advanced, finding a cure for dementia was an achievement beyond imagination, yet Alphondal had accomplished it!
“I doubt everyone may or may not remember, but some elders might have noticed. I mean, the name of the medicine is Diane.”
Alphondal nodded with a smile as he looked at his younger generation.
“A long time ago. My wife Diane took her own life in despair of her dementia. I made a promise to myself then. I vowed then that I would somehow survive and find a cure for dementia.”
Following that, a painful old story flowed from Alphondal’s mouth.

A long time ago.
About 90 years ago.
Alphondal’s wife, Diane, was in her early 30s when she developed severe dementia.
The young Alphondal nursed and cared for her diligently, but dementia is not a disease that can be overcome with just affection.
Diane’s symptoms worsened day by day, and eventually led to the death of her young only son.
And with that, the old Alpondal departed in the presence of his extended family.
“Elder, may you be at peace.”
Conrad, as the Head of the Family, gently closed Elder Alphondal’s eyes.
The funeral proceeded modestly according to the customs of the Kutanchi Family.
The elder Alpondal’s remains, which had been placed on a pyre, were cremated using a magical flame along with a single sword.
After the cremation, the ashes would be ground into a fine powder and stored in the family ossuary along with the sword.
It was a funeral rite worthy of the Kuntachi, a House of Swords and Magic.
‘Elder.’
Otto firmly resolved as he left behind the burning body of Elder Alphondal.
“I will carry on the Elder’s great will. So you may rest in peace.’
Alphondal’s role had been development, and Otto’s role would be vital from now on.
Making Diane widely accessible was no easy undertaking.
The materials needed for production were not only rare and expensive, but the process itself was also complex, inevitably driving up the cost.
For ordinary people, it was obvious that even if they worked their entire lives, it would be impossible to afford a single bottle of Diane.
But Otto was determined to find a way to mass-produce Diane and make it widely available around the world.
‘Maybe old man Quran could be cured? I really hope so.’
Otto decided to have hope with Diane.
While it was uncertain whether Diane, created to treat human dementia, would work on the dragon Quran, it still provided a glimmer of hope.

After Elder Alphondal’s funeral.
“I’ll see you later.”
“Take care.”
Camille sees off Otto as he makes his way to the Sanctuary to obtain the third power of the Invincible Emperor.
“No need to worry, I’ll be careful.”
“What?”
“I’m just going to take a book, that’s all.”
“.....?”
“Because owning a book is in itself an ordeal.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“That’s just it.”
With those words, Otto entered the sanctuary.
Into the power of infinite knowledge.
Otto entered the third dungeon, passing a statue of a scholar holding a large book in his left hand.
Just as Otto had told Camille, there was nothing inside the dungeon.
There was only a single large book sitting alone on a pedestal.
[Book of Carnage]
Originally named the Book of Omniscience.
It was said to contain the power of infinite knowledge, but no one has ever fully understood its power.
Even the man who wrote the book did not fully understand its contents.

One who looks into the universe will be swallowed by it....
After reading the warning, he picked up the book.
[Notification: You have obtained the item [Book of Carnage] !]
*Crackle*
*Crackle!*
With a powerful spark, boundless void energy shot out from the book and engulfed Otto.
In the next moment.
‘...This.’
A strange sight appeared before Otto’s eyes.
It was... the memories of those who once possessed the Book of Carnage.
