Chapter 562  Forbidden knowlage 

[OP: ]

-Snap.

"It's useless."

-Snap.

"It's over, just calm down and listen to what we have to say."

-Ooooooooong!

-Swish. Swish. Swish.

-Snap!

"Haaaa… please. Calm down."

Eon used {Quick steps} and reached the woman laying on the ground, covered by a strange dark fluid.

"Shut up."

She wasn't wearing any clothes other than a unique black cape with the same color as the fluid all around her.

Long black hair, bright blue eyes, a weak-looking pale constitution, and the dense Mana around her indicating her unique lineage while the appearance that though was covered by the strange fluid covering the entire room, did little to hide her attractive appearance.

"Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!"

And the magic that she was constantly firing at them, which of course just vanished even before it could touch them, did no harm to them even after carrying all that explosive power.

"Why?!!"

She was calm a moment ago, but now she was in a frenzied state, shouting meaningless things with her being burning with anger and bloody tears flowing from her eyes.

She wasn't in her right mind anymore and the two couldn't see her in that state. Even though she was a bad person that had done many bad things, her foolish goal wasn't malevolent.

"Because it had to be us."

Eon appeared right before her, his hand covered with a sheet of Solnova. And as soon as he appeared there, he put his hand on her head, calming her with the power of his unique Solnova.

"If it were someone else, you would have no other choice than to rot in Trigon Tower for the rest of your life."

The white energy spread throughout her body and calmed her mind, washed away the dark fluid covering her body, and brought clarity to her hazy eyes.

"But now, you have two options."

This unique room they were in was filled with complex artifacts, the walls were covered with alchemy formulas, and there were large shelves filled with materials that even the high mages would have difficulty finding on this sky island.

However, amidst all these, there was a corner with some very sinister-looking things. And these sinister things were the reason this room was covered by this strange thick fluid.

"Do you want to hear them? Or do you want to just face the punishment by legal means?"

Eon did not know the true identity of the person that was doing all this. He had only done his research and didn't have any solid data that could lead him to the identity of the person that was capable enough to even get away from their vice president.

And he knew just how smart, strong, and capable she was. He had seen it with his own eyes. So he had no doubt that if there was someone that could beat her, then they had something far more extraordinary to them than just the ability to see things happening in some faraway place.

He knew a little about the intention this captain person had but, all he knew was the fact that this captain of a reformation group was trying to revive someone.

Specifically, someone that had passed away quite a while back, not someone that had recently died and could be brought back with normal rival rituals.

The time they had died was long ago, so, truthfully, there was no way to revive them now. Even with the forbidden ritual this person before them was trying to perform either.

And, as a student council member, he couldn't just give out options to people with such criminal records like this. He actually had no power to do something like this.

She couldn't understand why he was doing it or what he was even trying to do.

She knew everything had ended already so, what nonsense was this bastard spouting right now? Just what kind of tricks was he playing and what did he want from her?

She didn't know who this bastard was but she sure knew he was no normal human. No human was capable of what he could do so just thinking that he was a normal human being was a foolish thought from her point of view.

But still, he was giving her a choice? Can he even do that? She didn't know what choices she could have aside from being sentenced to life imprisonment in that hellish place but, she didn't know why she was feeling it or didn't like what she was feeling but, she, in this moment, wanted to believe in the possibility that there was another outcome to all of this…

"Tell me."

At least, she wanted to hear what choices she had. And, depending on those choices, she would know if she wanted to just kill herself right now, or accept one of the choices presented to her.

And Eon knew her thoughts. He had figured out most of the things about this person that carried the name Extengia with her as soon as his eyes showed her screen to him. And now, he also knew who the person she so desperately trying to bring back was.

"First, you can swear an oath of origin to follow me for the rest of your life and I will make sure you stay safe and perfectly fine. Or second, you can go ahead and perform the forbidden ritual of life exchange right here and right now.

I will provide you with all the required materials you need, however, just see for yourself what the actual outcome of this shitty joke actually is."

"…?!"

He took out a very, very, very strange-looking book from his white crack. A book with skulls, snakes, and thrones carved on its metallic silver cover, and a big dark purple jewel embedded on its front.

It was a strange book, but the lady before him was already shocked by his absurd words, so she didn't pay much attention to the strange book and hurriedly focused on the page he had opened and started reading what was titled <12th holy ritual: calling a great lord of salvation>.

There were very detailed illustrations present in this book depicting ingredients, the process, the method… as well as the results.

And, as she read these things, her eyes keep getting wider and wider with each passing paragraph, her mind becoming chaotic and corrupted and her heart beating faster than it was a while before, and by the time she reached only the end of the page on the other side from when she started, a horror so great she had never experienced something similar overtook her entire being, and, she shouted louder than she had ever done in her entire life…

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

She threw that book far away and threw her own body to the wall behind her, trying to logically comprehend what she had just read with that look of extreme dread still stuck on her face.

Eon knew he was going to get a reaction like this but, he also knew there was nothing for him to worry about.

So, first, he picked up that dark manual of Rakshasas and stored it away. And then, after reassuring Rein everything was fine, he walked towards the lady that was still looking in the direction she had thrown that book. It was a very normal reaction and even he had a similar reaction back when he had unknowingly just started reading this book in their tower library.

He knew how it felt and not just anyone can read those things in the first place.

It was forbidden knowledge for a reason, and, because it was forbidden knowledge for those without the proper understanding of the dark arts and those that weren't allowed to have such knowledge that…

"…? What just-"

"It's alright. Don't try to remember it."

All that content would get erased from their minds soon, only leaving behind the feeling they had experienced when they had 'consumed' that knowledge.

But one thing was a fact here. And it was the horror that was produced from the unimaginable content of this knowledge, as well as the rituals that were ultimately aimed towards the destruction of the nature.

"You…"

She couldn't understand what had just happened. It was a natural response of a person that had lost a part of their memory but surely possessed the memory and feeling of having that specific memory.

"Why…?"

But she was relatively calmer than he had thought.

She had done extensive research on this subject and this ritual she was going to perform but, never in her entire time doing this had she come across the actual results that were produced from it or the data on the previous times it had been performed.

The method was mysteriously available if one specifically searched the world for it, but not the results. And now that she had experienced what the results actually were, she understood why they were so strictly unknown to the world.

And even though she might have forgotten what the contents were, she knew they weren't something even someone like herself could handle.

It wasn't something any normal student, a young one at that, should know about. Hack there shouldn't even be some young student that knows about what some of the words mentioned there actually meant!

She didn't know how this boy knew about it, but… she wanted nothing more than to hear one thing first.

"Why?"

Why did he let her read this? Why did he do it!? Why did he show her the truth and crush the only remaining hope she had?! Why did he do it…?!

"Do you know the meaning of death?"

However, instead of answering her question, he asked her a question of his own, surprising her once again.

"Death…"

Eon looked back at Rein when this lady on the ground shook her head hesitantly and started talking about something, that only few could ever have the chance to know or understand…
