208 Third Seal

Immediately after the system undid the second seal on the page, it displayed another few lines of text in front of Randy without delay.

[[The restriction on the sealed knowledge magic circle is no longer effective, now displaying the description of this sealed knowledge:]]

[[Introduction to Cryptic Magic]]

[[Cryptic Magic: A sophisticated and mystical magical art devised by the arch sorcerer when they transcended the concept of magical spells and techniques. This magical art had not been seen before in the history of the entire universe, and thus became an exclusive magical art of the arch sorcerer up until now]]

[[Special notice: The host should not let go of this opportunity and make good use of this upcoming knowledge contained within the magic circle of the ancient tome. The knowledge contained within this seal would be immensely beneficial to you on your journey]]

[[Would you like to spend 5,000 divine points to undo and retrieve the knowledge within the magic circle?]]

As Randy heard this, he was shocked momentarily, as this was the first time the system had given him a ‘special note’ regarding something.

Most of the time, the system would only give him notice about anything relevant to something in question, but not with the prefix ‘special’ attached to it. That could only mean that whatever this cryptic magic was, it was so ‘special’ that even his aloof system had to give him an indication of that.

After the system had stated so much, how could he not notice such a change?

Not to mention that he was really interested and heavily invested enough to spend so many divine points on the black tome, so there was no way he would give up in the middle of the process.

If he wanted to give up, he would have given up when he heard the cost for the first seal on the tome.

With that in mind, Randy spoke without reserve: “Spend it.”

[[Response Acknowledged]]

Just as before, when he used the same amount of divine points to undo the first knowledge magic circle, the knowledge magic circle was now safe.

Right after that, he placed his hand on it.

A moment later, a mysterious and unknown knowledge surged into his mind. There were so many words that it felt like his brain were stuffed to the brim with clouds of characters that were vaguely discernible by him.

Fortunately, the characters restructured themselves gradually, and he was able to make out the characters, except that they were in a different language, which confused him for a great moment.

The next moment, as he was still trying to decipher the unknown language, something mysterious happened.

All the characters and words he could not put heads or tails to just now had suddenly become readable. It was almost like the indecipherable characters had converted into a comprehensible language.

More accurately, a piece of new knowledge regarding the strange characters coupled with their corresponding language was gradually stuffed into his mind, which enabled him to understand and read the words they entail.

Randy wondered if the arch sorcerer was the one who made it like this or whether the system was the one that aided him in understanding the characters.

If it was the former, what were they trying to do by using these characters and words even though it seemed as though they were using a common language of the western district when he comprehended the knowledge held within the first seal.

But if it was the latter, he could understand, as the system’s existence was to support him in any way, even if this was the first time it had done something like this.

Randy immediately shook his head the next moment to stop his thoughts, and then he proceeded to glance through the contents of the knowledge within his mind briefly.

However, he was puzzled shortly after. There was so much knowledge in just a few paragraphs that he was instantly overwhelmed by their focus, expertise, and usage.

For example, there were magical spells such as mental manipulation and mind-reading spells using psionic magic spells, and so on.

Furthermore, there was even the concept of astral plane connection and its magic, which seemed to be related to the occupation shown during his occupation selection.

But Randy had no time to go through all these right now. He came back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.

Naturally, he was intrigued by the sheer amount of wisdom held within this second seal, but he still needed to return to his request before it gets dark outside.

Last time, he had to spend a few hours just reading through the first seal’s knowledge and did not get any sleep. Since he did not plan to repeat the same thing as then, he decided to check it later.

Since he still had some time and a few divine points left to spend, he decided to undo the next seal while he was at it. After all, the more seals unlocked, the better.

He would have to undo them sooner or later anyway, so now was as good as time as any, as long as he did not spend time to read through it afterward.

But he was thinking of stopping on this next seal as he did not want to carelessly spend all his divine points and then regret his choices later.

Even though he did not know much about the divine points’ worth and could only base his knowledge on the minuscule description given by his system, he would not waste them simply because he did not know their true worth.

One had to be careful if one wanted to survive in an unknown world. Furthermore, not everyone had his type of system or the ability to amass these divine points to use. As such, he did not plan on wasting them just yet.

According to what he could infer from the system, this divine point function might prove to be more beneficial to him than he could imagine.

After all, the arch sorcerer used some highly complex seals on his tome before he died, and up until now, no one could undo these seals, let alone open the book. That should be enough to guess at the capability of this arch sorcerer.

Thankfully, through his system, he found out that the divine points could undo the seals placed on the tome. That also meant that somehow the arch sorcerer could also use these divine points or something similar, and that was why they set it up for the black tome to be open in that way.

Thinking about this, Randy could very much tell that this arch sorcerer was indeed not a simple person and might be dangerous as an enemy rather than a friend, especially when he recalled the description given by his system. Randy truly hoped that he stayed dead; this way, he would be the sole inheritor and user of his legacy.

With that thought aside, he closed his eyes and carefully examined the newly acquired knowledge in his mind. A short while, he opened his eyes with understanding.

Afterward, Randy only hesitated for a moment before he decided to spend 40,000 divine points to unlock the third seal, and just like with the other seals, it took a few seconds to undo the seal. He then spent 5,000 divine points to unlock the knowledge held within the third seal’s knowledge magic circle.

A few moments later, he quickly skimmed through all the text without fully understanding the contents just yet. Therefore, he decided to spend some time grasping the contents of this knowledge.

After an unknown time had passed, Randy felt enlightened and gradually opened his eyes, albeit still in a daze.

His current condition was not something that he could help at all. After all, he found out when reading through the unsealed knowledge that there was a single technique rather than a spell as he had hoped within the third seal, which was very profound and quickly drew him in deeper, the more he read about it.

Thus, before he knew it, he was already immersed in the new technique and had forgotten about time. In truth, he did not plan on stopping until he fully grasped this technique as it seemed very useful to the current him.

Inside Randy’s mental space, he could see mystical runes combining and forming a type of shape, gradually taking form. At first, it looked like flowing characters, but as time went by, they structured into the figure of a human, or more accurately, a humanoid figure, as there was no face to define it.

But Randy could somehow tell that this was the figure of his very own body, which manifested through the mystical runes.

Although he had no idea what it meant at first, as he continued to observe the changes, he discovered a certain truth, which shocked him greatly. The previously faceless humanoid figure was eventually displayed, replicating his entire body structure, and even his clothes were the same.

Randy was shocked by this not because he saw a mirror image of himself, but this mirror image was more specifically another him if he had to put it into words. And he was very confident about this to the point that it was very eerie and strange. However, he still believed that to be the case.
