Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1352 Decoding Sansara Sage's Legacy

?

Eren's pursuit of decrypting the Sansara Sage's runes did not unfold without its fair share of obstacles.

The incomplete decryption of these intricate space-element runes gave rise to a multitude of challenges. Glitches in spatial teleportation entries and unintended exit points resulted in undesirable consequences.

Furthermore, the utilization of these runes was plagued by various limitations that rendered them unsuitable for regular use. Eren's relentless experimentation with the runes often left him injured and frustrated.

These space-element runes would function akin to bungee cords and extract a Ranker from the fabric of space and instantaneously teleport them to a predetermined location. To activate these runes, precise spatial coordinates of the desired destination were required, which served as anchors for this peculiar brand of spatial magic. These coordinates need to be integrated into the very runes themselves.

The Rankers would then be forcefully pulled from their current positions, akin to elastic cords recoiling once the external force driving them had diminished.

As a result, Rankers were unable to freely choose their exit points when utilizing these space-element runes in real time. Additionally, there was no built-in mechanism for returning to their original location prior to activating the runes and undergoing teleportation. To accomplish this, it was necessary to carry an additional rune at all times, which posed a cumbersome requirement.

Carrying these runes on one's person at all times was no effortless task either. The passive effects of the runes imbued an unsettling sensation of detachment from their surroundings, making the users feel as if their bodies did not belong to the place where they were currently at.

This disorienting influence hindered the casting of spells and the performance of everyday activities akin to existing within an unseen pool of water. Should a Ranker dare to bear the weight of two or more such space-element runes, these side effects would intensify exponentially.

Additionally, these runes had a continuous mana drain on the user, even when they were not actively being used. Lower-ranked entities would struggle to keep up with the mana consumption of these runes, even if the runes were somewhat adjusted to their ranks.

Only Adept-ranked entities and above were truly capable of carrying Lin Lehan's space-element runes at all times. However, even Expert-ranked entities found the runes burdensome due to their constant drain on mana.

The study and research of these runes came at a significant cost as well.

Each successful activation of the space-element runes would deplete thousands of Extols, and even unsuccessful or misused attempts would result in the loss of hundreds of Extols. The Extol expenditure increased with the user's rank and the number of users linked to a specific location through the space-element runes.

During the initial years, Eren lost millions of Extols in pure research. Without the resources provided by his city, he would not have been able to successfully decrypt the space-element runes.I think you should take a look at

Eren now understood why Sansara Sage preferred to rule from the shadows in the past. Only with the backing of an entire kingdom's resources could extensive research like this be carried out. Even with access to the resources of White Raven City, Eren found it financially challenging to research on Sansara Sage's scale.

In summary, the usage of the space-element runes was limited by inherent restrictions, the adaptability of rankers to their side effects, and the financial costs associated with their use. However, despite the challenges, these runes proved invaluable as they provided users with the ability to escape tough situations and mortal peril without risk while also preventing pursuit by other Rankers due to their swift and seamless activation.

Eren had dedicated a considerable amount of time to studying these runes. He had unlocked a new class as an Array Master and gathered external knowledge to aid in understanding Sansara Sage's research papers. With access to the original research papers, he still found decrypting and adapting these runes to the world of Anfang a difficult task.

However, the drawbacks of Sansara Sage's space-element runes did not diminish their potential.

Eren had successfully completed the arduous task of decrypting Lin Lehan's runes, making them fully operational in the world of Anfang. His mastery of these runes now surpassed even Edgar's abilities demonstrated nine years ago.

While Edgar had spent centuries decrypting Sansara Sage's runes, Eren accomplished the same feat in just a decade. Maya's guidance and access to her father's research materials played a crucial role in Eren's remarkable success, along with his unwavering dedication and tireless efforts.

Eren had requested Maya, urging her to remain within Sansara World 2.0 until he successfully deciphered Sansara Sage's runes and made them compatible for use in Anfang. He needed to establish various spatial anchor points that would ensure the runes' effectiveness. Only then would Maya be able to carry the space-element rune with her at all times, providing her with a means of escape if she found herself in a perilous situation.

Given that the upper echelons of Edinburgh believed Maya to be deceased, her presence within Edinburgh would not only endanger her but also jeopardize Eren's plans. They had taken great measures to destroy Sansara World 1.0 to cover their tracks, and Maya's capture would render all of their efforts futile.

Even though the existence of Sansara World 2.0 and Maya's escape from the detonation of Sansara World 1.0 remained unknown to others, Eren, being a chronic and a bit paranoid planner, was unwilling to take any unnecessary risks, especially when his focus was fully dedicated to completing the Lazarus Project.

Maya, on the other hand, had no pressing need to explore Anfang at the moment. She was content to comply with Eren's request. After spending centuries in isolation within Sansara World 1.0, she could patiently wait for another decade.

She was both amazed and delighted by Eren's remarkable achievement within just nine years. She knew that when she first met him, Eren had no expertise as an Array Master, lacked profound space-element attainments, and had limited knowledge on the subject.

Witnessing his growth from a novice to an exceptional expert in the field was truly remarkable. It was akin to witnessing someone achieve overnight success in a very harsh domain. Despite being aware of the immense effort and resources Eren had invested in this endeavor, Maya couldn't help but marvel at his astonishing progress.
