Library and magic.
After healing the queen, we are going to have to introduce ourselves to the people of this kingdom; we could say our kingdom from now on.
"You can stay here for the time being, as you know we need time to prepare a home that suits your status." The queen had no prior knowledge of us taking up residence here, so she needed time to build a house.
"That would be wonderful, but I have one more question." She was going to head out to do her queenly duties before I stopped her.
"And what would that be?" The queen had stopped in front of us as she asked.
Shizue's and my eyes twinkled with stars as we asked the queen together:
"Does this place have a library?"
| At the Library |
Opening the rather large door, we entered inside with a maid and a butler showing us inside. Rows and rows of shelves, millions of books stored in the enormous library can be roughly traced back a thousand years to when the kingdom was established.
All of this world's secrets lie naked in front of us—well, most of them, at least.
Walking around the place, we found a map that was nailed to the wall like a board. It was placed to help us understand the library, which was divided by sections based on the types of books the royal family would want to read.
Sending the helpers away from the library, I turned around, grabbed Shizue's hand, and made her look at me.
"We are going to solve the Ifrit problem at once." I could see small beads of tears in her eyes as she nodded and came forward for a hug, which I reciprocated. I hugged her tightly as I set my eyes on a specific section.
Spirits.
Looking through books filled with information about spirits and various types of spiritual magic, I found the one I wanted.
"Spirits: The Origins" The first page of the book was an illustration of a woman with long hair and lustrous rainbow-colored hair that goes to her waist; she is fairly tall, cute, and gorgeous. I will always love Shizue, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate beauty.
Some fancy words were written under the painting, "Spirit Queen: Lady Ramiris."
"Ramiris?!" Unknowingly, I had shouted it out, and Shizu came rushing from the other side, asking, "What happened?" I showed her the page, and she also had the exact same expression as me: absolute befuddlement.
Shizue also had a book in her hands. Space magic was a very versatile affinity to have as a type of magic, and we both had a high affinity for three types of magic. Light, fire, and space magic.
Spatial magic is a form of magic that uses the imagination of the user to extend their will on the space around them and manipulate the space to their will using magicules.
We read through the book in the blink of an eye, and my [Appraisal eyes] came in handy as I analyzed the process of the use of space magic.
"Shizu, attack me with your sword and without any skills," I said to her as she took some distance and I took some steps back.
I extended my will as I manipulated the space around me. Shizue swung her sword towards my neck, even though I knew she would stop before it touched me.
I tried to divide the space between her sword and my body with my thought acceleration and analyzing abilities.
The sword stopped right before my neck, not moving an inch, and the shocked look on her face told me what I needed.
<<Acquiring Extra Skill "Infinity." Acquisition Successful>>
"Ha hahahah" Melodious laughter rang through the halls as I deactivated the ability—not before she withdrew her sword, though.
"What was that? It slowed me down so much that my sword stopped." Shizu, after being absolutely gobsmacked, asked me with a shocked face.
"I severed the space between your sword and my body by infinity, hence slowing down your sword infinitely and creating a passive barrier that will halt any attack from reaching me." I boasted with my head held high as she smiled.
"That's good; I don't have to worry about you getting hurt anymore." Aww, she's so cute.
"Anyway, let's read all the magic books we can and then depart to the Dwelling of the Spirits tomorrow itself." She nodded, and we began to read all the magic and information we could for today.
We also got the information about the Dwelling of the spirits from that book, and the book also made it seem like Ramiris was some kind of deity, but something happened two thousand years ago that made her a demon lord. The book was very informative.
And one of the most important pieces of information was about True Heroes and True demon lords; basically, what the people experienced was never a true demon lord. which means that demon lords Clayman, Frey, and Carrion are only demon lord seeds.
True demon lords are at least 10x stronger than an average demon lord seed, and then we have True heroes and heroes eggs, which derive a little bit from demon lord seeds.
As demon lord seeds are not a physical manifestation but a title that the voice of the world acknowledges, a majin or monster can claim the souls they kill and evolve into a true demon lord.
The hero's egg is special as it physically embodies the soul of the chosen blessed by the spirit of light or darkness. To become true heroes, they must undergo an awakening, though the book doesn't specify the details.
There is way more than what we saw in this world, and I'm very excited! "So the plans are that tomorrow we go to the Dwelling of Spirits and meet the fairy queen Ramiris, fix the Ifrit problem, and summon some light spirits!"
We were now in the private chambers given to us in the palace, and I was holding a very naked shizu in my arms.
"You know, we should celebrate this happy occasion," She said with a teasing smile as she slowly climbed on top of me. I could clearly see her delicate, soft breasts and pink nipples hard as she teased me.
"How about the Heroes do something unholy for tonight?" I asked in her ear with a sly smile as I put my hands on the side of her very tempting hips and pulled her towards my body as I kissed the side of her neck, slightly grazing her neck with my teeth.
Moaning slightly as she pulled away and looked into my eyes, she leaned forward as she kissed me with unholy passion. The sun was only beginning to set.
