Levi stood still, his Danger Perception slightly warning him that there were risks inside, but not many.
"I’ve been so busy lately, I almost forgot there’s a relic here that hasn’t been explored. Even a small fry is still at, let’s take a look."
His figure flickered, using the thod of the Invisible Secret Word, passing through the layers of traps in the relic, as well as those dilapidated arrays.
...
Inside the relic.
Levi’s figure appeared, fully ard, with the Vajra Secret Word protecting his body, a protective force field buzzing around him, his surface enveloped in golden light.
In front of him was an ordinary castle, within which stood a Wizard Tower, silent and unmoving.
Suddenly, Levi looked back, and a plump black cat appeared behind him.
"ow..."
Levi found it inexplicable.
"How can there be a cat in this place?"
The black cat in front appeared quite ordinary, without any transcendent aura, yet the relic was isolated from the world. Levi had sensed around, and apart from the black cat, there was no other sign of life.
There was sothing strange about this black cat!
He asked:
"Who might you be?"
Black cat: "ow."
Levi: "I have no ill intentions, I just happened to pass by here accidentally."
Black cat: "ow."
The black cat, upon seeing a stranger, neither showed fear nor overreacted. Elegantly, it sat on the ground, extending its furry paw to lick it.
Levi ignored the black cat and ventured into the castle alone. He had set up a Death Ember Divine Palace outside the relic, and if needed, he could explode it to return to the city.
The inside of the castle was fairly intact, save for so dust, with no signs of damage.
From the mories of the golden prince, this relic should have been sucked inside by the Dark Ancient Tower. Before that, it was hidden in a small plane.
In the castle’s hallway, there were nurous oil paintings displayed. Suddenly, Levi halted, looking at a serene landscape painting. In one corner of the painting, a part was missing.
From its shape, it seed a cat was once painted there... Levi’s expression changed subtly as he looked at the black cat that followed behind.
"This creature cos from the painting."
He then looked at other paintings, confirming they were all dead objects, not illusions. With his current Nightmare Dragon realm, even a Level 9 Nightmare Lord couldn’t easily bewilder him.
Besides that, there was nothing else in the castle, and ignoring the black cat following him, Levi proceeded to the Wizard Tower.
He moved like a spectre through every corner of the Wizard Tower, searching for clues.
Finally, he arrived at the top floor, which seed to be the relic owner’s residence. On the dust-covered desk, there lay a book and an old dried-up coffee cup. ȐÃꞐ𝘖ꞖЕŠ
The black cat jumped on the book, and after so thought, Levi held it, picked up the book.
"ow."
Levi stroked the cat’s head, his eyes focusing on the book cover, narrowing his gaze.
"Gargal’s Book."
He looked at the black cat, his expression calm.
"Are you Gargal?"
Black cat: "ow."
After wandering around the relic again, aside from the Gargal’s Book and the black cat, Levi found nothing else.
He found a place, opened the book and started reading.
Unknowingly, he reached the end.
The black cat lay beside Levi, licking its belly while side-lying.
Gargal’s Book was a diary.
It recorded neither profound knowledge nor significant secrets, just Gargal’s daily experiences and thoughts.
According to the diary, in the last years of his life, Gargal had distanced himself from Nora.
He was researching a forbidden sealing spell called Gargal’s Sealing God Technique.
Throughout his life, Gargal had sealed many powerful creatures: demons, devils, evil dragons, alien races...
But there was one thing he hadn’t sealed yet, and that was Gods!
At his peak, Gargal had already reached the threshold of a Legendary Wizard. He was the supernova of that era, a leader in style.
The Legendary Artifact he wanted to create was nad the Sealing God’s Book.
To finish this oddity, it required sealing nine demigods or one True God.
As a Grand Wizard, he naturally was not a match for a True God.
Thus, he wandered across Multidinsional Planes, plotting behind the scenes in various divine-favored lands.
Gargal, through trickery, lured an angel from the astral world to descend.
Then, with his Divine Soul Artifact, Gargal’s Fairytale World, he sealed it.
Levi had once acquired a fifth-circle replica of Gargal’s Book of Seals.
And so, after a millennium of plotting, Gargal successfully sealed eight demigods.
He was only one step away from success.
However, his activities eventually caught the attention of a certain God in the astral world.
That God was known by the Divine Na The Prankster God, true na Arevin Illahir.
The Prankster God disguised as an angel, specifically descending an incarnation for Gargal.
He was a powerful and cunning deity.
He did not kill Gargal directly but invited him to play a ga.
If Gargal won, He would swear a Star Realm Oath, extrely binding even for a God, not to ddle further.
But if Gargal lost, he would have to accept His punishnt.
If Gargal refused the ga, He would erase him outright.
Gargal had no choice;
from the mont he was discovered by this God, his fate was sealed.
So he accepted the invitation. The consequences were predictable, and Gargal likely lost.
Otherwise, the birth of a new Legendary Wizard would surely be recorded in the history of the wizard civilization.
He chose this incredibly difficult path, undoubtedly prepared for failure.
