Chapter 925 Exploring The Abandoned Dungeon

Chapter 925 Exploring The Abandoned Dungeon

-----

I started deciphering the Goetia as I could. The system messages told me it was actually written by Ancient Wizards of the past. It seems that these were people that understood and studied the world better than the Gods themselves.

And of course, they were all wiped out by Odin's anger, he could simply not accept that these mortals were beginning to comprehend the world better than the Gods.

However, they left their knowledge in this book, the Goetia. It narrates their past, and also what they investigated the most.

The Calamities.

They defeated some and studied them by detail, and the reason why they were wiped out by Odin's judgement was because of this one reason.

They managed to create a Ritual to extract a Sin from a weakened Calamity.

Their goal? They wanted to harness their power for their own.

And they almost did it, it actually worked, but the one that became the vessel went insane and became a monster... Oops.

Nonetheless, he was neutralized as well at the end, and... It seems that they continued studying the sin, passing it to vessel after vessel.

They were really insane, but all of this insanity has now built upon this knowledge, even if it was built upon by terrible acts, I must embrace it.

The ritual is... quite complicated. I'll need a lot of materials too. But I think I can make up for them using some of the ones I have right now.

Though, I still can't do it right now. For now, I'll memorize everything and read the whole book. I feel like I might learn a Skill if I do.

"Munch..."

I ate my third fruit, as I felt a surge of power coming from my whole body again, another of my Level 10 Skills was evolving.

Ding!

[The Pure Essence of Death of the Fruit of Demonic Death has enhanced one of your Skills, allowing them to surpass their limits.]

With this, I could be able to do even more multi tasks. I'll be able to dedicate myself to both help my family and friends hunt monsters while I craft materials, read the Goetia, cook, and everything!

"Alright, we're here." I said, walking out of the carriage as we just arrived in front of the caves leading towards an underground area of the desert. "These must be the Salt Crystal Caves!"

We all got out of the large carriage made out of bones I had created, which was actually an Undead too, named Abyssal Undead Black Carriage.

"Well done Charlie."

"Shall I accompany you inside, master?"

"Hmm, sure? If you want to. Bring your beasties too."

I named him Charlie, and I made him use the souls of several merchants and stranded people that died in the desert, which came flocking to me once I stepped here.

The bone beasts were just random monsters' souls. But they seemed to have created a bond with Charlie, becoming an extension of his carriage-like body.

He was only a B+ Rank Undead right now, I didn't put any effort into making him, but he still ended being fairly strong.

"So? How did your conversation with Hel went? You just went silent after what happened!" Emeraldine said, feeling a bit frustrated I was screaming to the empty air for a while.

"Oh, that..." I laughed as we moved to the dungeon's entrance. "Let's say I got a good deal, don't worry. Arachne... there's a good chance we can help her get rid of that power. And also to help others like her. Now I'm sure that if this ever happens to Nyx or Root, I can solve it!"

"You can?!" Lucifer asked. "Hel must really trust you... So what's the method?"

"I'm going to just absorb the Sins!" I smiled brightly.

"EH?!"

Everyone looked at me with dumbfounded expressions as we were already quite deep into the caves, they were filled with beautiful white and red-colored salt crystals.

"GRUOOHHH!"

Their scream ended bringing the attention of a dozen Salt Stone Golems, that came rushing towards us...
