BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163: Rune Art
When he opened his inventory, his eye was caught by the item that was directly in the third place in the first row of his inventory. Sitting in his room, he took the item out of his inventory and then waved it in his hand several times.
[You\'re finally going to use it, huh?]
James suddenly observed the message window from Nemesis and smiled as he read it, "Soon, darling."
The object in James\' hand was the completed Catacomb Key itself.
James thought it was finally time to enter the catacomb, and there was no better time than now, which meant he had to enter the catacomb as soon as possible.
There was one last thing he had to do before he could use the key though, he wanted to read the Beginner Level Ancient Rune Arts Manuscript he had obtained through the achievement from cover to cover and this would give him a bit of a workload.
In a way, it would be much easier for James, as he was a fast reader, and now that his intelligence had increased to a gigantic level, it wouldn\'t be so difficult for him to understand things anymore.
Immediately after returning the catacomb key to his inventory, he took out the manuscript lay down on the bed and opened the book.
[Hello, congratulations on getting your hands on this manuscript, whoever you are. My name is Cain. I am the strongest and wisest of the tower\'s three greatest admins, and I have been in existence longer than the first two.
I spent my youth learning from the laws of the tower and seeking out the beings and energies that our creator Chaos provided the tower with. After I acquired these teachings, I turned them into manuscripts and later into books.
This book, known as the 5th manuscript I wrote, is a book focused on the Rune Arts created with Arcana energy.
The book is divided into three main parts. The first part contains information on what runes are, the second part contains information on how to transfer arcana energy to runes, and the third part contains information on how to draw runes, that is, the rune language.
You may have found this manuscript, but if you are not serious about it and do not think that you can devote your mind to it, you will only harm yourself.
Stay updated with _emp _yr.
If you consider all this danger, turn to the next page].
When James read the first page of the book in his hand, he closed the book. He took a deep breath and was literally crushed under the heavy words on the first page of the book.
The words may not have seemed so heavy, but James could see that even within each handwritten letter there were runes, maybe not runes, but each one had a huge amount of arcane energy, even if the manuscript had been written who knows when.
It was completely impossible for James to even imagine how powerful Cain was, it was as if he was reading something from the hand of a real god.
It wasn\'t like one of those who climbed this tower and became a god, it was like the work of one of those beings like Ra or the Supreme Dragons.
[I thought you wanted to learn how to use arcana energy.]
When James read this message from Nemesis, he shook his head and then said, "Just turning the pages of the book is too difficult, Nemesis, give me a little time."
With these words, he closed his eyes and breathed in and out deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, he was on the second page of the book:
[What is a Rune?
An individual with Arcana energy has surely asked himself this question once or maybe twice, perhaps the god or goddess who loves you has given you a little explanation.
But what is a rune? Many races think that runes are used to create and collect. For example, creating a monster with the arcana energy you collect in runes. However, runes are not limited to these.
Runes are something we can use everywhere in our lives. When you manage to use arcana energy correctly, it is possible to do everything from breathing to walking, from walking to eating, from eating to sleeping with runes.
Runes can bind monsters, restrict movement, and kill them. At the same time, runes can enrich nature, nourish and produce.
When you want to explain the runes briefly, a sharing can be made in this way. For a more detailed explanation, read all pages from this page to page 147].
James had spent almost two days after reading this page, reading as slowly as possible, carefully reading each letter Cain had written, and had managed to reach the end of the first chapter, that is, page 148.
He had managed to learn everything from the history of the runes to the purpose for which Chaos might have created them, much of it was mind-boggling but all of it excellent information.
Still, James finally managed to work up the courage to move on to the next chapter.
James could barely turn the page. After turning the page, he could deeply feel the magical energy in his body and the arcana energy in his lower level.
These two energies were growing and growing, and James began to realise that a fourth ring was beginning to form, albeit a small one, around his heart.
After all, his magic was evolving, which of course affected the development and growth of the magic rings.
Just moving on to the next chapter had done that much good.
[The second chapter is full of questions and explanations as to how arcane energy can be utilised in a greater than elementary way.
How is it that the energy of arcana can acquire great beauty and power only when it is transferred into different forms? How can those inscriptions come to life and live and die according to the wishes of the person who releases the energy?]
[These were questions I had been asking myself for quite a long time. I asked myself these questions even before there was such a thing as rune arts. I asked myself all these questions even before I taught arcana energy to the angels of heaven such as Gabriel, Metatron, Michael and Lucifer.]
[I thought it would be very logical to create a language in which I could transfer this existing energy. Yes, I, Cain the Tailor, am the one who created the rune language.
I worked as hard as I could to create the rune language in such a way that it would best absorb the arcana energy. I did this with such determination and seriousness that it took me millions of years to create just one letter.]
[However, at the end of the work, I realised that the 21 letters I had created were not very useful. More precisely, I watched with my own eyes that even if these letters were useful, it still made a huge difference to use arcana energy with combined letters.
This meant that the rune arts and the letters in which the arcana energy was placed worked with the law of randomness.]
[Of course, you could give a rune any element, any effect, and any harmful or harmless form, but in the end, doing things randomly made the letters I created much more powerful. I called this the use of superior runes.
There were incredibly few people other than myself who could master this art. Even Michael and Lucifer, whom I trained with my own hands, managed to grasp this art to a small degree].
When James reached the end of the page, he shook his head left and right. He was hearing things he never thought he would hear, and he was looking around with strange thoughts.
It was marvellous that Cain had personally taught the two Archangels to a superior degree, and even more marvellous that Cain had created the rune arts with his own hands.
Whether there was any way for James to understand this, no one knew.
James scratched his head, took another deep breath and tried to turn the page of the book to read. However, no matter what he did, he could not open the page of the book. It was as if some force was holding the page of the book with his hands and James wanted to ignore that force and look at the next page.
[Sir, your current level does not seem to be sufficient to see beyond the manuscript].
James shook his head as he read the system notification from Emma and pretended to understand, instantly removing the book from his inventory, not expecting to be so surprised in just two and a half days.
Nevertheless, what was done was done, the next thing to do was to enter the catacomb.
