The Great Cathedral, in a ssy reception room, the Hero stood motionless.
The girl's eyes were closed, holding a dark gold Magic Guide Book, while in front of her, a woman with a mature appearance and sharp blades protruding from her arms sat slumped on a sofa, encircled by an illusory barrier.
In this room, originally protected by sound insulation magic and thus very quiet, faint noises from the outside seeped through the walls that had been slashed open.
"Is the inspection complete? Can I go in now?"
"No problem, brother, oh no, Viscount, Lady Saintess she is just..."
"Of course. Leave it to , I will handle it properly."
Then, the young man with black hair and erald eyes pushed open the door and walked into the room at a relaxed pace.
"Dealing with these believers is troubleso."
Not knowing how many tis this month he was called "brother" by strangers, this Pantheon-level Mystic Master rubbed his forehead and then looked up at the room.
"However, the 'plot' has finally progressed, which made wait for a long ti..."
The chaotic scene in the reception room did not make his pace halt in the slightest, but his gaze swept across the room, and his words ca to an abrupt end.
Brother's eyes lingered on the dark gold book in the Hero's hand, his erald eyes unblinking.
After just a few seconds, he frowned and decisively looked away.
[Brother activated the skill: Philosophy of Clarity, Brother broke free from the temptation of Knowledge Addiction]
Then, the young man cast his gaze toward a side table and snorted softly.
"What, are you disappointed?"
On the table, a deep blue, palm-sized sea shrimp with its lower body soaking in tea water, rested its front claws on the cup's rim. Its shrimp eyes emotionlessly stared at Brother, like a frozen sculpture.
But its large chopping axe-like claws, almost as big as its body, were gently swaying, poised to strike at any mont.
Confronted with Brother's erald eyes, the sea shrimp's movents stiffened, its long feelers wobbled, and it blatantly looked away.
"Even the Outer Body Incarnation is like this..." Brother slightly shook his head, ignoring the sea shrimp, directing his gaze at the First Princess on the sofa and the illusory barrier surrounding her.
"High Wall Demon Gate, huh... Not bad, to think of this." The young man nodded approvingly, then his gaze focused, and mystical radiance appeared in his erald eyes.
"Saves so trouble."
[Brother activated the skill: Deep Research Eyes (D Perception, 1/2 minimum, High Wall Demon Gate 153)]

"First Princess, Magic Dissociation Syndro... I see, I always wondered why such a fatal lineage could be passed down and even inherited by the royal family."
The mystical light in Brother's erald eyes flickered at an extrely high frequency, muttering to himself.
"It's not simply a congenital genetic disease, but a separation of one's own elents to escape the manipulation of 'playing a role,' affecting the progeny into the abyss...
"If the Pure Descendant spreads branches in the kingdom, those inheriting this nature would likely resist the role-playing.
"Though the cost is that so will suffer painful deaths reverting to ancestral traits, it is indeed effective; it seems that the shamaness of the Country of Purity was not foolish."
The young man exhaled and shook his head again.
"However, it's ultimately a foolish approach. Neither the selection of the High Wall Demon Gate nor the massacre of the Angel King compares to the precision interference of the Book Spirit in corresponding concepts. Even if effective, it lacks efficiency and efficacy."
He slowly drew a sword cane, and the inheritance-level blade lit up with cold light under the shroud of magic clouds.
"I just wonder, what can I achieve now?"
[Brother activated the magic skill: Re-writing and Storing]
Not a single magic, but a technique that combines multiple spells, aid at quickly transcribing unknown magic, analyzing it in the process for the purpose of learning or cracking it.
At the Royal Academy, the rewriting skill is a popular elective course.
—The fastest way to magic secrets is copying!
Archive record: This student was recorded with a major derit for cheating in spellcasting practical exams using the rewriting skill.
[Brother activated the skill: High Wind Chanting, Extre Thousand Layers Array, Chain One, Two, Three]

3D500=(237 412 189)=838 139=977
[>760, Re-writing successful]
The sound of the wind accompanied by deep whispers echoed within the reception room.
Brother's magic covered the High Wall Demon Gate, then the sea shrimp's feelers twitched, making the illusory walls unlock their barrier, allowing Brother's magic to pass through and be smoothly incorporated into the ritual stacking.
Instantly, dazzling magic arrays of various sizes rapidly unfolded on the First Princess, and the light fluctuated with the young man's chanting. The sword cane moved, the room filled with vapors, making everything obscure as if the deepest secrets were surfacing here.
[Brother activated the skill: Secret Concealing Device]
The chanting continued for a full two hours, until the Holy Paladins guarding outside couldn't help but glance sideways, and the young man's chanting finally ceased.
In the next mont, like a whirlwind dispersing clouds, the thick vapors, carrying nurous magic arrays, recoiled to the young man's side, then precisely covered his body on the parts corresponding to the First Princess before.
Brother's erald eyes remained calm, watching the black spider silk hanging from the void, hesitantly dividing it and letting it fall on him, penetrating into his body, reaching the depths of the soul and even the abyss—
Subsequently, the young man curved his lips.
"I see."

"Hmm, what is this?"
Now that perception is fully released, the Hero wouldn't normally be aware of what's happening around their body, which is why the Sea Shrimp is staying close by as a guard.
However, an inexplicable feeling still made the Depraved Hero raise an eyebrow.
"What's that old fool up to now? I knew he was plotting sothing when he stayed after my birthday... but then again, this whole family hasn't been normal for quite so ti."
Even though she beca a Saintess, nearly free from the curse of blessings, that cheap pair of long-lost parents still have no intention of reappearing.
With her mother as a Moon Person lacking initiative, the only one leading actions could be her father.

As her mind raced to think of bad ideas, the Depraved Hero's eyes suddenly widened sharply.
"Crap, is he using to distract that busty woman while he's off causing trouble in the Plain Ancient City?"
And then there's my family's crest...
'Your father... could it be those Sect Followers?' Past concerns from close friends floated to the surface of her mind, leaving the Depraved Hero montarily speechless.
"No way, the Pope's daughter is the Key of the Door, and the Saintess's father is also the Key of the Door? Why not just rge them already."
But this was ultimately just a wild guess she suddenly had, far from credible.
"I'll need to analyze this properly with my main body when I get back..."
The Depraved Hero brushed aside her scattered thoughts and refocused her attention ahead.
"As for over here—"
