Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Chapter 84 83. The Door!

The city library, which was much bigger than a regular mall or other shops around, was located at the library's center. It had three floors, and the topmost floor contained the most confidential books. Shane was convinced that the information he wanted to find would be available at that place.

So he didn't bother telling Norman to search through the first two floors and directly ordered the host to head over to the topmost floor. The moment they approached that place, they found a small one-way door with a lock that seemed like it hadn't been opened in a while.

Shane quickly found a rounder key that could open any lock and sent it to his host. They quickly used it and opened the lock in an instant.

,m As soon as the door was opened, dust rose in the air and hit Norman's nose. The latter coughed and covered up his nose as it wrinkled, "It seems like this place was not opened for a long time. It smells awful!"

Shane frowned as he scanned the area and said, "Let's start searching for the clues."

The two of them didn't talk anymore as they started searching for the info about the complex wooden array they found. After searching for an hour, they still hadn't been able to find anything. Instead, they found out several demonic power-related stuff and how they managed to destroy humans in the past. There were even several cultivation books and information that could help anyone become a righteous cultivator.

Shane raised his brows. No wonder this place was locked from the eyes of the public. It was to prevent everyone from becoming a righteous cultivator!

Perhaps someone among the righteous cultivators must know something about it. So he quickly said, "Search among the books here. The righteous cultivator must know something."

Norman nodded and started reading through the cultivation scrolls and books. Soon enough, he found a book of ancient arrays. His eyes lit up as he started reading it from the start.

This book was about all the powerful and ancient arrays that were so ancient that they could be dated back thousands of years. Soon enough, they found the array they were looking for—

Eversor array.

It was a Latin word that meant destroyer. The structure of the array recorded was similar and there was even a prediction written beneath it saying, this array was a dangerous item, and if someone created it in a place or anywhere and inserted it with the combination of both dark and divine cosmic energies, it could destroy the entire world.

Norman stared at the book for a long time. It almost seemed as if this kind of prediction was meant for him. It was so obvious. He silently read through the location and closed it firmly and said, "That's for me, isn't it?"

"I think so," Shane waved his hand casually, "Don't focus on that now. Let's go to the first location. According to the information added later, the wooden array created by a certain cultivator was broken into pieces and hidden in four realms surrounded by powerful monsters for its protection. We have to find it as soon as possible. This world is taking too much time."

"I agree," Norman sighed as he closed the door as it was before and walked out of the library in a leisurely manner, "I've been here for f*cking a few days and it's still not close to being completed. Who knows how much time will those realms take!"

They instantly went to the first realm. Even though it took almost half a day, they still managed to reach it before sunset. Norman stood before an iron gate that was closed shut. There wasn't a trace of a lock or anything else to help open the gate. He frowned as he touched the surface.

"How do you open this door?"

Shane spoke, "Try using your power," he paused and added, "Make sure to use both divine and darkness energies."

Norman nodded. He had already learned from Shane what these two kinds of powers meant earlier while traveling. He was also surprised to find out about his attributes. The fact that even prediction says that the end of this world needed a person who could use both powers meant that the creator of these arrays probably knew that this world would end.

Wait, didn't that waiter say that a person had made a prediction earlier about this? He scoffed. It could probably be that the "prediction" maker had read this book and since no one knew the existence of this book, he took the credit and got famous.

He stared at the door and put his palms on the surface, focusing on his powers. He tried to clear his mind and let out his powers, but the more he tried, the more his mind wandered, making him think of several things that he wasn't even close to thinking at the moment.

A while later, he opened his eyes as traces of frustration were visible on his face.

"You can't even do one thing properly," Shane sneered.

"Excuse me, this is the first time I'm trying this. Don't underestimate me!" After listening to his system's comments, Norman got even more irritated as he took a deep breath and touched the cold surface again.

He tried again for half an hour, to no avail. He opened his eyes as he glared at the cold door.

Shane was watching the entire scene with a scornful expression and said, "This isn't how you use your powers."

"You knew, and still you didn't help me!"

"You could have asked me."

"....." Norman took a deep breath and suppressed his anger and said, "Nevermind. How should I do it?"

"Use your imagination," Shane said nothing after this. He didn't have a habit of explaining things to virtual people.

Norman frowned as he closed his eyes again and this time, he imagined two kinds of powers flowing throughout his body as they escaped from his palms and entered the door without any hurry.

The surface under his palms suddenly became hot as he instantly took his hand back and stared at the door that was glowing at the moment. His face was covered with cold sweat the moment, "Did I actually become successful?"

He stared down at his hands and licked his lips, "I can really use powers!"

"Don't think too much," Shane reminded, "You aren't special here to be able to use powers. Many of my system friends can do it."

"Can you?" Norman ended up asking this question that Shane didn't want to answer.

First, the live stream was still on, and he knew his one answer could end up revealing his powers to the world. So he changed the subject tentatively, "Get back. The door's gonna explode!"

Norman narrowed his eyes and said, "You're deliberately changing the subject."

"I'm not. This is really gonna explode."

Norman sighed and walked back as he hid behind a boulder and stared at the door that kept shining brighter, and it seemed as if the shine of this thing increased every second to the point it started to hurt his eyes to continue watching. He sat back against the boulder and closed his ears.

Suddenly, a blast echoed in the background so loud that even after putting his palms on either side of his face, Norman felt his ears exploding. Cold sweat formed on his forehead as he shut his ears tightly. Only after the blast stopped did he move and glanced at the door.

The door was filled with smoke from the blast. The carved door had disappeared, leaving behind darkness beyond it and smoke covering up the entire place. He tentatively took a few steps toward that place while being cautious.

But nothing happened. It was pin drop silence as he stared at the door, "Should I enter?"

"Take your sword and enter," Shane paused as if he remembered something and said, "You can also share your power in your sword to kill monsters."

Norman nodded and pulled out a sword from his inventory and gripped its hilt tightly in his right hand. After taking a deep breath, he walked inside the dark door.

For a while, everything remained dark as he saw nothing. Only after walking for a while, he felt someone's cold hand suddenly gripping his hands holding the sword. That hand's size was also unusual that made Norman's scalp numb.

Norman's steps halted as his face paled, "Wh-What's that…..?"

"Use a torch."

Norman instantly took out a tor ch from his inventory and he brightened it up only to be even more frightened after witnessing the scene in front of his eyes.

What he saw was a row of huge monsters who were so long that their heads almost touched the ceiling of the cave-like thing. Norman stumbled back as he stared at the group of monsters with traces of fear in his eyes.

"Use that spell," Shane kindly reminded his scared host.

"R-Right! I have a golden finger!". He didn't think much after this as he clicked the spell in his menu.
