Chapter 399 Antique Tome

"I don't know why, but it feels really good," Aizel muttered as he yawned and woke up from sleep.

Aizel noticed that Rias was absent from the room, likely having departed early while he was still asleep.

With his meal ready and waiting, Aizel made his way to the table.

Seated in a chair, he swiftly consumed his meal. After that, he went back to practicing on the magic circles.

Unconcerned about what was ahead, his thoughts stayed clear and concentrated. Getting good at magic circles was, right now, the most important thing for him.

After 4 hours...

Beads of sweat trickled down Aizel's face, his focus entirely on the intricate magic circle taking shape before him.

The intricate patterns and lines began to weave together, and now he was at the last, most critical stage where mistakes could happen at the slightest error, so accuracy was of the utmost importance.

Something really special happened this time.

Aizel, immersed in intense concentration, skillfully linked all the intricate lines, and at last, the inaugural magic circle materialized beneath his feet, flawless in its entirety.

Aside from its mana etchings, its pure white radiance gave it no obvious characteristics.

Still, Aizel's expression of happiness was reflected in the brilliant white light. He had overcome the first obstacle, which was a step toward becoming stronger.

[Congrats Master]

*Clap*

"A great job; now I can teach you the very next step." Rias entered the room, clapping.

*Phew*

"When can we start? I am ready for it," Aizel replied.

"My my look at you,"

"It's no point in getting disappointed, angry, or going into depression or shit. You said you would give me everything...

"Then I will take everything from you and become stronger," Aizel replied that the calmness in his eyes reflected the confidence he had right now.

"Hahaha... incredible; you are really something else. Come with me."

Aizel followed Rias out of the room, traversing through the castle corridors. He saw many mage and guards doing their jobs as he went.

Notably absent were Rias's children, who seemed nowhere in sight. Gradually, they descended into the castle's subterranean depths.

They arrived at a massive door on their way, which Rias unlocked with the touch of a finger.

Together, they entered. Befitting a cave or dungeon, Aizel's gaze roamed the enormous chamber that stretched out before him.

Its dimensions extended for kilometers in every direction, like a never-ending tapestry.

Extending throughout this vast expanse, diverse landscapes and terrains materialized, each marked by the permanent marks of numerous conflicts and the aftereffects of potent magic.

As if a living tapestry of battles fought, the ground beneath his boots bore the scars of violent encounters.noVElb1n

The vast domain's mountains and valleys changed shape as a result of the violent forces that once swept over it. Dispersed fragments of magical objects lay scattered.

"Here you can practice the next step without destroying my castle," Rias said as she waved her hands all around, showing the room.

The next step really seems dangerous," Aizel thought.

"You have learned how to create magic circles. Now you have to fuse the properties into it.

"Like if you want fire, you have to visualize the spell and try to infuse it with the help of mana," Rias said.

"So let me get this straight: I only have to imagine a fireball and infuse that in the magic circle with the help of mana. Then I can shoot the fireballs with the help of the circle.

"Is that it? This doesn't seem that difficult," Aizel commented as he rubbed his chin.

"I haven't explained the full part yet; don't get ahead of yourself," Rias replied with a smirk.

His eyes widened with each passing line, a grin gradually spreading across his face.

[Finally, we can destroy them, fufu]

It appears even Rias knows my history with them."

[Master, for doing this, we need to hide our identities too.]

Yes, time to bring out Satan and go on a full rampage."

The next day,

Aizel immersed himself in the milky pond, sharing the space with Rias.

"What do you think about the mission," Rias asked.

"I will do it. I am ready," Aizel replied.

"Good, then I will begin the preparation, tomorrow we will begin the first step to conquer the Felgura Kingdom," Rias said.

"Who is going to pair up with me?" Aizel asked.

"It will be Erina; she will make sure you do your job properly and bring you back to me safely."

*Tsk*

"Also, don't try to do anything that can make you regret it."

"I know; I will only head for the mission and nothing else."

"Good boy,"

....

Aizel spent the day practicing for his upcoming assignment in a dream loop; thus, the time flew by. Striking out flawlessly, he was hell-bent on never messing up. He planned to let out all his pent-up rage tomorrow.

Aizel joined Erina the next day in Rias's room. Erina wore the regalia of the Theodora Kingdom while flaunting his black assassin hood.

"There can't be a single mistake made in the mission, or else it will ruin everything.

Aizel nodded.

"Erina, don't disappoint me,"

"Don't worry, Mother, I will take care of everything."

"Now both of you can leave, and good luck,"

Both of them nodded.

Erina brought her hand and touched Aizel's back, and instantly they both vanished from there.

They both appeared to be on a coast surrounded by the ocean.

"Before we head out for the mission, we need to make sure everything goes well," Erina said.

"I am listening," Aizel replied.

"I will leave you a little far away from that place. You will head there alone and complete your mission."

"How are you gonna transport them all back?" Aizel asked.

"That's not your problem, don't try to do something that is not mentioned in your mission.

"I won't accept any failure. My mother doesn't care about Larisa, but I am different.

"I hope you disappoint Mother some day, so I can rip you apart slowly."

"Yeah,,, good luck. Maybe you should light some incense and pray for it," Aizel replied.
