Inside the secret spell room, Grimm sat cross-legged in silence.
His well-made leather clothes showed off his strong and sturdy body. The Fire Dragon Skin, which had been tanned with many special techniques, no longer had the cool flame-like aura of the past. The hidden power had also become more obscure and reserved.
At first glance, it was difficult for ordinary people to sense the existence of fire energy from his clothes. Even the surging flame aura on Grimm's body had been restrained, and he had become ordinary and simple.
The Book of Filth was placed in front of Grimm. He did not even need to turn the pages; the thick and sturdy pages moved on their own, turning according to his will. Whenever Grimm thought of a spell or spell formation, the Book of Filth would automatically flip to that page, waiting for him to read it.
The predecessor of the Book of Filth, the Book of Wisdom, was indeed the favourite of spellcasters!
Its contents covered magic, witchcraft, evil spells, divine spells, arcane spells, and many other spellcasting systems. In short, there was nothing that could not be found by the Book of Filth.
This was actually the most powerful aspect of the Book of Filth.
It was not a weapon used for battle, but a treasure trove of knowledge with powerful auxiliary abilities!
However, the troublesome thing was that Grimm was not the original owner of the Book of Wisdom. He had only used his soul equipment to forcefully devour the Book of Wisdom. Thus, Grimm did not have the right to freely read the contents of the Book of Filth.
Every time he opened the Book of Filth and looked at the same contents, the knowledge that appeared inside would be different. Like pieces of broken shards, Grim could only see a small part of a high-level knowledge puzzle every time he saw it. If he wanted to obtain the complete contents, he could only continuously sacrifice his spiritual force to obtain knowledge fragments one after another.
Some knowledge fragments were worth quite a lot, while some were just meaningless words … Therefore, in order to obtain valuable content, one could only keep on sacrificing, keep on trying one's luck, and keep on accumulating and piecing them together …
Only when he obtained enough knowledge fragments would he be able to piece together the original form of the high-grade knowledge!
Therefore, as long as he had free time, Grim's favorite thing to do was to pick up the Book of Darkness and see if his luck was good today and if he could obtain some valuable information.
And today, his luck was clearly not bad!
The Book of Darkness lay flat in front of him, a purple light wrapped in a transparent bubble quietly floating above the pages. As Grim sacrificed 1 point of Mental Strength, the pages of the Book of Darkness began to flip rapidly and finally stopped at a certain page.
This was a method that Grim had just come up with to use the Book of Darkness.
The Book of Darkness would automatically identify and display the basic characteristics and relevant information of an item if he sacrificed his mental strength to it. The amount of mental strength sacrificed also determined the level of information obtained.
His current Spiritual Power was as high as 44 points, so sacrificing a little was really not a big deal. He only needed to meditate for half an hour to recover.
Grimm felt a stabbing pain in his head as he injected 1 point of Spiritual Force into the Book of Darkness. He felt that a portion of his Spiritual Force had been cut off.
Then, a short line of words appeared on the unfurled page.
"… Power of Faith …"
Four words … He sacrificed 1 point of Spiritual Force and only received a response of four words from the Book of Darkness?
At this moment, Grim could not believe his eyes.
1 point of Spiritual Force did not sound like much, but it was equivalent to 1 point of a Grade 4 Intermediate Legendary Fire Wizard. If converted to Fire Spells, it would mean 8 Fireballs (Grade 1), 4 Lava Fireballs (Grade 2), 2 Berserk Fireballs (Grade 3), and 1/2 Blazing Fireballs (Grade 4) …
If this 1 point of Spiritual Force was used on the battlefield, it would mean that he could wipe out an army of 200 to 300 fully armed mortals equipped with anti-magic equipment.
But when he used this powerful 1 point of Spiritual Force to investigate the origin of the purple light, he only received a response of four words from the Book of Darkness … Grim immediately felt a lingering fear.
The only explanation for this situation was that the origin of the purple light was not simple, and it was highly likely to be related to the super-grade Wizard Weapon in Gloria's possession. That was why the Book of Darkness had adjusted the rating of this part of the information to such a high level that even Grim was secretly surprised.
However, the more valuable the information was, the more help it would be to Grim!
Hence, after a slight pause, Grim directly sacrificed 8 points of Spiritual Force for the second time.
8 points of Spirit was equivalent to 1/5 of Grimm's own Spirit. After absorbing so much at once, even he felt as if someone had poked a hole in his brain, causing blood to gush out in all directions.
After a while, the Book of Darkness flipped and stopped again, and a few short lines of words slowly appeared on a blank page.
"This substance is a variant of Power of Faith. It is formed by the fusion of refined Wizard energy and powerful Spiritual Will. The power it displays is non-attributed energy, and can be viewed as a 'Physical Attack' …"
After reading this information, Grim scratched his head.
He had paid such a huge price and sacrificed 8 points of Spiritual Force, but all he got was information that he already knew … This … This sacrifice was too much of a waste!
Thinking of this, Grim could not help but grit his teeth. His spiritual force once again connected to the Book of Darkness and directly sacrificed 20 points.
20 points … This was equivalent to cutting off nearly half of Grim's Spiritual Force in an instant.
Hence, the moment the sacrifice was given, Grim let out a blood-curdling scream and held his head with both hands, unable to recover for a long time.
After all, humans were humans, not machines, nor were they pastries that could be cut off as much as they wanted to eat. Humans were made of flesh and blood, and the Spiritual Force had its weaknesses.
If it was on the battlefield, one could steadily output their Spiritual Force to guide the wandering magic energy in the air and activate powerful spells one after another. This process was slow and gradual, so the backlash to Grim's Spiritual Force was within an acceptable range.
Now that half of his Spiritual Force had been drained in an instant, if Grim's Spiritual Force was not strong enough, he would have fallen into a state of dizziness or mental exhaustion.
After a long time, Grim finally broke free from the dizziness and forced himself to look at the fragments of knowledge projected by the Book of Darkness.
Item Name: Seed of Faith
Item Type: Heterogeneous Faith Energy
Item Attribute: Non-Elemental Energy
Item Origin: Refined witchcraft energy and powerful Spiritual Will fuse together.
Specific Analysis: This power originates from a Peak Grade 4 lifeform. Initial speculation is that it is a member of the Sorcerer World. It continuously refines the life energy in its body and condenses it into its own unique witchcraft energy. Then, under the guidance of a special force, it combines with its own Faith Energy to become a powerful Seed of Faith.
This Seed of Faith contains an incomparably violent physical strength and the Host's invincible Faith Energy. After being stimulated, it can exist in the form of a Seed of Faith. It can absorb wandering magic energy or the scattered energy of a target lifeform to replenish itself and increase the intensity of its power.
Note: Because this Seed of Faith contains the Host's Spiritual Will, it can be controlled by the Host's Spiritual Will within a certain range. Its external manifestation is a directional burst of energy, a delayed burst of energy, and so on.
The Seed of Faith is non-elemental energy, and its external manifestation is a physical attack. The Seed of Faith is purplish-black in colour, and it contains the energy of a Grade 5 energy weapon. Initial estimation is … a Gem of Strength! "
Dense amounts of information flowed into Grim's mind, and the A.I. Chip categorized them and stored them. He then began to analyse them.
The source of the purple light was Gria's own life energy, mixed with her witchcraft energy to increase its might, and then fused with her Spiritual Will. This was how it was created.
It was a unique Seed of Faith, a unique form of energy!
What caught Grim's attention was undoubtedly the Grade 5 item that had caused all of this.
Gem of Strength … What was that? He had never heard of such an item before. Could it be some sort of divine weapon or mysterious item from another plane?
Although the Book of Darkness did not give him any concrete information about the Gem of Strength, with its name, Grim now had a clear direction and target to dig for more information.
However, he could not do so today!
He had sacrificed 29 points of Spiritual Force, and this was not a small burden for Grim. Although he had completed the energy transformation of his body and mind, the preservation of his flesh and blood body still left him with various human flaws.
When he stepped onto the battlefield, he could use his energy transformation and Force Projection to avoid terrifying physical attacks. However, in his daily life, he still had to endure the various inconveniences of his human body.
Compared to other magical creatures, the human body was indeed too weak!
Their feeding system was complicated, their digestive system was backward, their respiratory system was weak, their bones were too thin, and their blood vessels and organs lacked the necessary protection. These two factors combined could not support an overly large body, and their bodies lacked effective energy storage organs …
When it came to the human body, it was full of flaws and flaws.
This meant that normal humans could only exist as creatures of other planes. They were extremely reliant on the stable and gentle environment of the plane, and did not have the ability to leave the plane.
As for Magi, they relied on the human race to walk out of this' narrow and cramped 'space and traverse the multiverse. They relied on the continuous inheritance of knowledge and the existence of extraordinary powers.
If they were unable to draw on the power of the outside world, and only relied on the energy stored in their bodies, their might would be reduced by ten times, or even a hundred times!
