While waiting for Krista Dragoon to arrive, Zen decided to start reading the grimoire that he won from the auction house.
A grimoire where the 'Hymn of Death' spell is available for Zen to learn. The harsh condition where it requires the user to experience death before being able to learn has already been fulfilled by Zen.
"With my talent, there's no way a simple grimoire spell is an obstacle in my path," Zen exclaid loudly as he held the grimoire in his hand.
Taking a few monts to calm his emotion, Zen slowly opened the grimoire book and instantly, his mind was overflowing with information.
At the sa ti, the texts in the grimoire slowly dissipate as each and every word enters his mind.
Zen wasn't able to stop the words as he never expected the information in the grimoire to suddenly react like that. Evie has ntioned that one must start reading the texts before being able to learn them.
However, it was like there's a soul in the grimoire book as it straight up flooded his mind with information when he didn't even get a chance to read one line.
Ti slowly passed by as Zen was in a trance, completely oblivious to his surroundings. It was like ti had slowed down for him as he found himself in a dark environnt.
In the dark environnt, Zen slowly saw a tall figure wearing a black mask and he was approaching so corpses.
'Who is he?'
Zen asked inwardly as he tried to get closer but his movent was restricted.
The only thing he could do was use his eye to stare at the tall figure without doing much. He tried to open his mouth to speak but no voice ca out of it.
In the end, Zen could only witness the tall figure in silence as he tried to comprehend his action and reason for his appearance.
The tall figure slowly walked next to the corpse before chanting so weird language.
Afterward, the corpse starts to tremble slightly as its shadow starts to rise up, mimicking the corpse's appearance in terms of size and Zen widens his eye in disbelief.
'R-Resurrection' Zen mumbled softly in shock as he glanced at the tall figure.
The shadow that was resurrected by the tall figure knelt down on one knee, seemingly obedient toward him.
The tall figure simply nodded his head as he began the sa procedure to the rest of the corpses. The chanting was fuzzy and unclear in the beginning for Zen to understand him.
But as ti passed on, the tall figure continued to resurrect at least 40 corpses, turning them into shadow, Zen was able to comprehend the chanting was a command.
A command used to resurrect corpses into shadows where they are absolutely loyal to the caster and they would still retain their power. Their power would remain the sa when they were alive and with this spell, there's a chance that they could beco even stronger.
'T-This is the power of the Hymn of Death spell,' Zen exclaid inwardly as he was basically witnessing a miracle.
A miracle where the laws of death are ignored and defy heaven completely with this power.
Zen couldn't help but tremble in excitent as he wanted to try this spell already and see if he could chant it.
As Zen wondered in his mind, the tall figure movent stopped as he started glancing toward Zen.
His stare sent a chill down into Zen's spine as he could feel an imnse powerful mana from the tall figure. It was suffocating to even breathe in when the tall figure continued to stare at him.
Luckily, the tall figure stopped glancing at him after another second, and Zen used this mont to breathe heavily as sweat started trickling down his forehead.
'What was that stare? I felt like I was being choked and hanged upside down.' Zen cursed inwardly as he stepped back a little bit.
A surprised expression appeared on his face when he realized he was no longer restricted by the movent.
Touching every part of his body to make sure he was fine, Zen swallowed so of his saliva nervously as the tall figure pointed at a corpse.
It didn't take a genius to know that the tall figure wanted him to perform the Hymn of Death after his demonstration.
Stepping forward slowly, Zen was standing next to a corpse who had three heads and a figure that looked like a dog with four legs.
"Is this a chira from the myths?" Zen tried to ask the tall figure for an answer since the corpse was very similar to a chira.
The tall figure didn't reply and stood still in his position.
"I don't know the chanting spell completely so I might fail in resurrecting the chira with the Hymn of Death," Zen continued to interact with the tall figure.
The tall figure continued to ignore his word and Zen could also smile bitterly for always receiving this kind of response. No one wanted to answer his questions, including his most closed ones who kept him in suspense.
Unable to receive a response, Zen decided to attempt casting the Hymn of Death on the chira corpse. Alas, he was not familiar with the chanting thod since he only managed to comprehend a little bit so the first resurrection attempt failed.
Sneaking a glance at the tall figure on his reaction, Zen was slightly disappointed to see nothing from him. There was no disapproval nor dissatisfaction coming from him.
It was like he turned into a statue since all the shadows that he managed to resurrect before were standing upright like him without talking at all.
'How the hell do you expect to learn a forbidden spell this quickly?'
Zen cursed inwardly as he twitched his mouth slightly. Although he proclaid himself as a talented person, it was just a shaless boasting to boost his confidence.
Since he received zero reaction from the tall figure and was stuck in this environnt, Zen could only resign at his pitiful fate as he continued to try and chant the spell correctly.
