Cocotte lay in the swirling white mist, sitting on the light cloud that had just been pulled in, wandering here in confusion.
A huge full moon hung high in the night sky, but the pitch black starry sky did not beco brighter because of it.
Pale white mist blended with the dark sky at so point, and faint blue runes rippled around them.
The patterns kept rotating even within the thick mist, as if dancing around Cocotte.
Looking at the scene before her, a trace of unease rose in Cocotte's heart.
After all, this was her first ti. Not being used to it was normal.
In the Deep Layer Library, illusions would wrap around you, driving the weak willed into madness. So people would even be tempted by the enchanting lody produced by dense magic power and stay here forever.
However, as a fifth tier mage, Cocotte would not fall into illusions because of this drifting magic.
Instead, she was more worried about Henny.
Everything in the Deep Layer Library felt random, like layers of a maze.
Cocotte floated back and forth on the cloud, searching everywhere for a long ti, yet she could not see Henny at all.
Only the constantly changing scenery around her, mixed with hazy mist, made it impossible to guard against.
"Hm? This is…"
Cocotte rubbed her eyes. The library in front of her seed slightly different from before.
At so unknown ti, cracks seed to appear in the dark sky that had blended with the white mist, and the hazy white mist beneath her feet began to gradually change.
Whoosh!
The white mist slowly faded, as if it sensed Cocotte's intention.
It parted to both sides with the fog, automatically making way toward the front for Cocotte.
The clouds spread apart at the sides, leaving only a single path leading into the distance.
Cocotte had no ti to think. Even the cloud beneath her sped up a little.
She did not know how long she climbed, as if she had already crossed three mountain peaks.
Finally, on a plain, she saw a familiar figure.
Henny seed to be lying beneath the starry sky, the shining stars draping her in a layer of splendid clothing.
The rippling magic around her was like stars, surrounding her.
A breeze passed, carrying the surrounding silver white grass leaves gently by.
Everything was hazy and dreamlike.
Cocotte shook her head, trying to clear her mind a bit.
Then she continued riding the cloud, approaching Henny.
The closer she got, the clearer she could see.
At this mont, Henny was lying on that enormous book, a feather pen dancing quickly in her hand.
"He…"
"He…" She was just about to shout, but found that her throat seed to be restrained by so mysterious force.
She could not even force out a single word.
She was so anxious she could not speak, yet she could only hear an extrely faint voice coming from the horizon.
"Shh~"
Cocotte looked left and right, but there was still no one around.
Perhaps the library was afraid she would disturb Henny, so it forbade her voice.
She could only look forward again.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
At so unknown ti, countless obscure runes were floating above the clouds around Henny, completely surrounding her.
Every ti Henny wrote a stroke beneath the book, a rune would appear beside her.
Those runes looked very, very familiar.
But when Cocotte tried to read through them once, she realized they clearly did not connect, and could not even combine into a single spell.
'What is Henny doing?'
Cocotte quickly fell silent and waited, her gaze fixed on Henny's focused face.
Soon, Henny seed to have finished writing all the runes.
She lifted her head and stretched comfortably. As soon as she raised her eyes, she happened to see Cocotte.
"Senior Cocotte?"
Cocotte opened her mouth and suddenly realized she could speak again.
So she hurriedly asked the question she had wanted to ask all along, "Henny, what are you doing?"
Henny patted the enormous book and explained excitedly, "As you can see."
"These are all the fourth tier spells recorded in the magic library. I tried to extract so runes with similar properties and rearrange and recombine them."
Cocotte looked completely confused.
When these runes were combined into a normal fourth tier spell, she could understand them.
But once they were all separated and rearranged.
She was completely lost.
No wonder they looked eight or even nine parts familiar, yet she just could not understand what spell they were.
So Cocotte asked, "Can you even understand these yourself?"
Henny shook her head, "I can't, so I'm trying again and again."
"Trying?"
Henny picked up the enormous book and opened it.
Among the tens of thousands of runes recorded inside, she selected dozens of extrely obscure ones and gently touched them with her fingers.
Imdiately, those dozens of runes appeared out of thin air, surrounding the book and surrounding Henny.
The magic patterns around began to change. A formation appeared without any warning.
Then the runes began to crack like glass and shattered.
A powerful energy was instantly released. A dazzling light cut across the air, as if the sky had been torn open with a deep trench.
The powerful magic spread rapidly in the air, instantly triggering a shocking surge of energy.
That force burst like brilliant fireworks, stunning and magnificent.
Gleaming light blood in Cocotte's eyes. The intense radiance almost made her lose her vision.
Even her heart felt pierced by that brilliant beam.
This spell looked very simple. You only needed to know the runes in this book beforehand.
But that was exactly where the difficulty lay.
Because this spell was ford by selecting dozens from tens of thousands of different runes and rearranging them.
To use this spell, one had to completely understand all those tens of thousands of runes.
Henny explained, "This part of the spell doesn't have much power, because I only extracted the 'light emitting' part."
"But if I do this."
With a wave of her hand, the runes around the formation changed again.
This ti, the runes gradually ford.
A bright mass of magic power began to gather rapidly, shrink, twist, and tremble.
BOOM!!
A violent explosion suddenly erupted. Terrifying magic shot into the pitch black sky along with the shockwave and air blast.
The huge explosion twisted space, like countless petals forcibly pieced together in mid air.
Transparent petal patterns fully unfolded, folding everything.
The terrifying pressure made Cocotte feel fear.
Her bones seed to tremble. The violent explosion pounded against her eardrums again and again.
"Through this thod, I can discard many non practical parts of spells and use them faster."
"This idea ca from Professor Viktor's silent casting."
Cocotte did not quite hear clearly at first. The ringing in her ears would not calm down.
After a short while, she finally understood what Henny had said.
'No, is this how Viktor gave you inspiration?'
'At least Viktor's spells follow so kind of logic. And you?'
'You're directly taking spells apart and recombining them?'
Although this is not as difficult as creating a spell from scratch, it is still outrageous.
Cocotte felt dizzy and short of breath.
For the first ti, she understood what it felt like when a genius stood beside her.
But the bigger shock was yet to co.
Henny's voice sounded, "But if I can use all these tens of thousands of runes."
Calm and steady, Henny raised the thick, radiant book in her hand.
Under her control, the pages flipped rhythmically. Thousands upon thousands of runes she had recorded in careful detail leapt from the pages.
Here were almost all the fourth tier runes in the magic library.
Henny stared at the huge book in her hands, her eyes shining.
The runes seed to co alive and began to surge on their own.
Under Cocotte's stunned gaze, they peeled away from the pages and floated into the sky like scattered stars.
The runes began to gather automatically in the air. Those marks filled with powerful magic lifted dazzling light.
"[Radiant Light]."
So runes began to combine. The light started to surge and grow brighter.
"[Nebula]."
"[Several Days]."
"[Heavy Darkness]."
"[Rebellion]."
"[Love of Freedom]."
"[Rhinoceros Beetle Oath]."
"[Fate]."
"[Moist Night Glow]."
"[Eight Thousand Illusory Lives]."
With every word Henny spoke, tens of thousands of runes gathered wildly. The pitch black sky had completely disappeared, replaced by chaotic runes rging together, ten formations flowing continuously.
The obscure runes now seed like seeds of all things growing, as if spring had returned to the earth, they were full of vigorous life, fully revived.
Reflected in both Cocotte's and Henny's eyes was that enormous magical shape, as if shining beneath the bright moon.
'How exactly did Henny do this?'
At that mont, Henny seed to whisper by her ear, "When I ca in, there was a voice constantly telling ."
"Only when I discover the secrets of these spells, discover the magic hidden in this layer of space."
"Will it let go out."
The ti in the Deep Layer Library flowed differently from the outside world. Cocotte had heard Heim Horn ntion it before.
Perhaps Henny had only been inside for a dozen minutes outside.
But here, she might have already stayed for more than ten days.
"Before you found , I had already repeated this process countless tis."
Constantly splitting, constantly recombining, in order to find the most perfect combination.
Until that final successful ti.
Cocotte did not dare imagine it. For a normal third tier mage, this amount of work would definitely drive soone insane.
But Henny did not.
Maintaining her interest in order and patterns, Henny persisted in mixing and recombining all the fourth tier spells in the library.
Chasing the order and world that belonged to her.
Unlike war magic, which stacks different formations and releases astonishing power when their frequencies synchronize.
The magic Henny used broke countless formations apart and re extracted the runes with shared elents.
In the end, forming brand new magic, the radiant world seed covered by a thin veil.
Ten rune formations rged completely as if reborn.
Tens of thousands of runes fluttered endlessly, turning into a long heavenly scroll unfurling in the sky, hanging in the air.
[Fifth Tier Spell: The Cosmic Scroll Sunk in Chaos]
Yet beneath the woven brilliance of stars filling the sky, only Henny and Cocotte remained in the world, seemingly captivated by this beautiful radiance.
But under the dazzling starlight spreading everywhere, neither Henny nor Cocotte noticed.
The sky opened its eyelids once more. The moon shifted slightly, as if lowering its gaze toward Henny.
"A third tier mage able to reach this level. No wonder the library was attracted…"
"Aubrey, it seems the Eternal Furnace of your family is about to lose its advantage."
