Chapter 277: The Codex of Shadows

Seven Sins System Chapter 277. The Codex of Shadows

A second later, the swirling vortex of dark aura materialized before us, a shiver of anticipation ran down my spine. It was an eerie sight, the very essence of darkness coalescing into a tangible form. Baelthor, standing across me, watched with a mix of fascination and caution, his crimson eyes never leaving the enigmatic vortex.

Slowly, the dark aura began to take on a more defined shape, coiling and twisting until it formed the outline of an ancient book. It hovered in the air, suspended by an unseen force, its pages fluttering as if stirred by an invisible breeze. The aura that surrounded it was like a writhing mist of shadows, giving the impression that the book itself was a creature of darkness, imbued with an ancient power.

I took the Codex of Shadows from Baelthor's grasp, I could feel the pulsating energy of the dark aura resonating with my touch. It was as if the book itself was alive, a vessel of ancient secrets and unfathomable power.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Thanks," I said with genuine appreciation, looking up at Baelthor. "I will read it later and delve into its secrets."

Baelthor's eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. "No," he said firmly, his voice carrying an air of urgency. "You must read it now."

I frowned, taken aback by his sudden insistence. "Now? Why the rush?" I asked, a touch of confusion in my voice.

He hesitated for a moment, his expression betraying the inner struggle he was experiencing. "Because," he began, choosing his words carefully, "the Codex is more than just a collection of words on paper. It is a manifestation of knowledge that exists within my very being. What you see as a book is a reflection of my consciousness, a piece of me."

I furrowed my brows, trying to comprehend the gravity of his revelation. "You mean the knowledge within the book is somehow a part of you?" I asked, my mind reeling with the implications.

Baelthor nodded solemnly. "Yes," he confirmed. "The Codex of Shadows is a piece of my mind, a repository of the darkest and most powerful secrets I possess. It was not meant to be separate from me, but you forced me to create this...book."

I gazed at the Codex in my hands, feeling a newfound sense of responsibility. The knowledge within its pages was not just information; it was a part of Baelthor's very being.

"I cannot let it remain out of my reach for long," Baelthor continued, his voice tinged with vulnerability. "The longer it stays away from me, the greater the risk that it will become unstable, unpredictable."

"Thank you, Baelthor," I said sincerely, my voice softening.

He grunted in response, his crimson eyes still filled with a mix of annoyance and resignation. "Just leave," he muttered as if dismissing the sentiment.

I nodded, understanding that his pride made it difficult for him to accept gratitude. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the enigmatic creature before me.

"Alright, I'll go," I replied, taking a step back.

With a wave of my hand, I released the Blood Curse that had bound him, allowing him the freedom he so clearly desired. The dark aura surrounding him wavered for a moment before returning to its natural state, as if he had never been restrained in the first place.
