Chapter 542 Recollection

Just like the Beginner Rune Magic Skill Book that Vincent had received as a gift before, this book also has the word "Special" on its tier.

It was unfortunate that he can't learn Rune Magic because it has a prerequisite skill that he must learn first. Right now, he was hoping that it wouldn't be the same for this Cultivation Technique.

As soon as he triggered the Learn Skill, he nervously looked at the notification that appeared in front of him.

[ A Skill Manual found. Would you like to learn the skill Ethereal Mind Cultivation Technique? ]

"Hu~"

Vincent heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this notification.

'I can actually learn a Tier 4 technique even though I can't master any Tier 3 Mana Arts…' Vincent mused.

In a way, this is actually not that rare to happen. After all, many magicians are born with a talent that equals a Tier 4 Mana Art even though they haven't properly learned magic yet.

Prime examples of these were the Followers of Qheglena who had obtained incredible talent after obtaining a part of Celestial Beings in their bodies. Some have Mystic Eyes, Mystic Ears, Mystic Hands, and other mystical abilities that people are born with.

Vincent delayed learning this technique since it would make him dizzy once he agreed to learn it. The sudden flow of knowledge in his mind isn't something that can be ignored after all.

"Thank you… I will do my best to learn this."

"That's good. In any case, I can tell your talent is related to Magic Crafting. That was why you managed to create that incredible blade that the Celestials are using… Once your Mind Cultivation improved, you will benefit a lot from it especially when you're crafting a Magic Weapon… You'll easily apply inscriptions on it…"

Vivian explained.

"Well, since I'm not a good Magician, I can't really place a decent inscription…" Vincent replied.

Of course, he has Transcendence Ability to put a skill on his item but he certainly wouldn't tell her that.

"As long as the inscriptions are excellently done, even a Mana Reinforcement inscribed on a sword would be quite deadly even against the Totemic Barbarians…" Vivian explained.

"Is that so? I guess I have to practice more." Vincent said.

"You should also learn more about Tier 1 or Tier 2 Mana Arts…"

Vincent wryly smiled after hearing this. It seems that she had guessed that he doesn't know many low-tier Mana Arts.

"Do you know any other Mana Arts I can learn to inscribe?" Vincent asked.

"I do… But if you want to learn a few more Tier 1 or even Tier 2 Mana Arts, it's better to ask Nerissa about it. I'll let her know…"

Vincent didn't argue with this as he immediately agreed.

"Thank you…"

"It's fine… I need to leave now since I still have a task…"

"Right, I heard that you're observing someone… Is there something I can help you with?"

Vincent offered his help. He wasn't too sure about the situation but seeing Vivian's attitude about it, it seems really important and he couldn't help but try to learn more about it.

Vivian already stood up and was about to leave when she heard this. She thought for a brief moment considering whether she should tell Vincent.

In the end, she felt that this young Kayser might really help her in her current predicament.

"Hmm… It's about the disaster that is about the great tribulation that is about to come…"

"Great Tribulation?" Vincent frowned after hearing this.

He then recalled something really important…

"It is related to the calamity that will come from the sky?" Vincent asked recalling Tower Master Abe's words.

While Wisemen of Solomon's Pillar warned about the calamity that will come from the subterranean creatures, the Sages of the Star Garden Peak warned about the calamity that will come from the beings of the sky…

"Oh? So you've heard about this?"

"Yes… I was informed by one of the Tower Masters of the Black Tower…"

"I see. We indeed warned them about this. However, I doubt that they could make any preparations. After all, the magic god has appeared there…" Vivian muttered.

"That's true… So what about this person you're monitoring? Is he related to the beings of the sky that will bring a calamity to our land?" Vincent asked.

"That's right… This person will open a path for otherworldly beings to reenter the surface of our planet. This is might trigger the Third and last Rapture…" Vivian said worriedly.

"Last Rapture?"

"Yes… I don't think this world would still be a place where humans can live if another war similar to the scale of the First and Second Raptures commenced."

"This… Isn't there a way to stop him?" Vincent asked…

"I've already contacted three of our Diamond Tier Manipulators… The others are tasked with important missions so we can only trust them for now and wait for good news… Currently, they have entered a special dungeon to eliminate this person and I'm monitoring the portal of this dungeon."

"Is there a possibility that this person can defeat those three…"

"There is a small chance for that to happen… However, it doesn't mean that it couldn't escape. This person controls a total of six Celestial Beings after all." Vivian explained.

"Six? Isn't that impressive? Can they provide them with enough Blood Essence?"

"It's most likely related to his ability…" Vivian answered with a look of fear in her eyes…

"Just who is this person?"

"We don't know if it was his real name but he once called himself Joran… We can't find anything bout this person since all the other organizations don't have any records of this person." Vivian explained…

"W-what? Joran? Is it the Joran I know?" Vincent asked in surprise.

"You know him?"

"I'm not sure… But if he's the Joran I know, maybe the reason why you can't dig his background is that he's from the Troy Clan in the Tudor Kingdom…" Vincent said.

Vivian's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Indeed, their investigation is only within this continent so it does make sense that they couldn't find his origin…

"That must be the case…"

"Yes… But how did he become so strong? I'm sure that he was only an Adept Mage a few years ago…" Vincent asked…

Vivian gave a helpless smile at this as she replied.

"This person called Joran is blessed of the Deity of Corruption… It's extremely difficult to defeat him. If you have a way to deal with him, can I ask for you help?"
