Final Lord

Chapter 178 Magic Library
“That’s not a good idea.” Wang Bufu shook his head. “If there are chaotic monsters around here, your flight will expose our location. Then, chaotic monsters from all directions will converge on us, which is too dangerous.”

Chaotic Cave is different from the others.

The monsters inside the cave are extremely aggressive. They'll charge at the mere sight of an air force unit's black dot, even from over ten kilometers away.

The chaotic caves of the past would teach every player who dared to send air force reconnaissance a lesson indiscriminately. Wang Bufu was also taught a lesson once, and that one lesson was enough to make him behave.

Wang Bufu sat by the fountain when a sudden inspiration struck him.

Oh, right. The laziness of the Archmage race is all-encompassing, from top to bottom. They're too lazy to even walk, let alone fly using magic.

There must be a way for the Spirit Race to move around in this city.

"Blind cat, try using your magic to communicate with the fountain."

"Yes, my lord, how should we communicate?"

"Gently touch the fountain with your mental energy."

Blind Cat, staff in hand, stood beside the fountain, carefully contemplating its secrets.

Soon, he felt a connection forming between the fountain and him.

"Holy crap!" Blind Cat exclaimed, "So much information! My head is about to explode!" He quickly disconnected and shook his head vigorously.

"My God, my lord, I feel like ten thousand magic runes rushed into my head, almost burning my brain to a crisp."

"Don't rush," Wang Bufu said gently. "The City of Miracles was designed for the Epic-rank Magic Spirit race. You are far from being an Epic. Don't look at those details; just search your mind for the parts related to transportation."

"Okay, I'll try again."

The blind cat mustered his courage and sensed again. This time, he quickly grasped the knack.

"My lord! I found it! Hmm? No access permission? Ah! I've got it! It detected that I'm a caveman and granted me guest privileges!"

Huh? Wang Bufu's mind went blank.

Did the cave dwellers in the Ondidi Mystery have guest privileges?

That's right! The Caveman Kingdom and the Falcon Clan were active at the same time! It's unbelievable that these two races had diplomatic relations. This is a detail not even recorded in history books.

"My lord, I've found a way to get to the city wall! Haha!" Blind Cat laughed. "So that's how it is. My lord, please wait a moment, we'll be there soon."

The blind cat disconnected from the fountain and looked up, sensing the sky.

As a magical aura appeared, he excitedly shouted, "It's here!"

Wang Bufu also looked up.

From the floating islands above the Mystery of Ondise, many emerald green magical vines hung down. These magical vines were arranged in pairs, forming a cradle-like seat in the middle.

Wang Bufu understood it. But then again, he couldn't understand it.

He thought both airships and magic carpets were normal, and even opening a space tunnel on the spot was reasonable, since it was a myth about the bottom of the tunnel.

But they're supposed to swing across like that? So leisurely?! No wonder they're from the Magic Spirit Clan.

The number of swings was exactly the same as the number of Wang Bufu's troops, one for each person. It's unclear where all those vines came from.

Wang Bufu and the others settled firmly on the swing, and the swing suddenly rose into the air, transforming into an elegant arc.

The howling wind whistled past Wang Bufu's ears, and he found that a magical shield had appeared in front of him, blocking all the wind pressure.

Once the swing landed, a tall, light purple city wall appeared before Wang Bufu.

This towering, pale purple city wall is not made of bricks and stones, but rather of countless floating, interwoven magical bookshelves. Each bookshelf is carved from astral yew, with rune circuits drawn with liquid mithril flowing across its surface, flickering like breathing in the dim light.

The seams between the bookshelves are inlaid with iridescent crystals, enveloping the entire city wall in a semi-transparent magical film.

Millions of books slumber on the shelves: some are ancient tomes wrapped in dragon-scale covers, with arcane chains extending from their spines to connect them to adjacent books; some are glowing scrolls suspended in a rhomboid force field, with elemental dust rising from the edges of their parchment; and several more bookshelves are heavily sealed by dark red rune chains, with the sealed grimoires occasionally striking the barriers and emitting whispering hiss as the pages turn.

Those are forbidden books collected by the Magic Spirit Clan, containing many powerful forbidden spells!
This wall made of books is another man-made wonder of Ondemyst—the Magic Library.

Wang Bufu looked at the magic library, his eyes shining.

The Magic Spirit Clan collected a vast number of magic books from the Divine World and constructed this extravagant city wall. Each book inside has a rank, equivalent to a treasure of the same rank.

Those locked books are at least epics! This is a wall made up of countless treasures!

"When I read the description of the Magic Library in history books, I felt that I could imagine how magnificent this city wall must be."

But now that I've actually seen it, I realize my imagination wasn't rich enough. Even from a distance, just looking at it, I can feel its breathtaking, magical aura.

I've witnessed history.

As Wang Bufu was lamenting, Hera suddenly tugged at his sleeve: "Father! Look! Isn't that the Chaos Monster!"

Wang Bufu looked in the direction of Hera's wings and immediately saw countless ice-blue Frozen Soul Birds rushing towards him. They were like an ice-blue whirlwind!

Just then, starlight rippled across the magic library, and thousands of iridescent crystals shot out from the spellbooks, trembling and buzzing amidst the chilling wave stirred up by the Frozen Soul Birds!
A large number of the Frozen Soul Birds were shot down from the sky, their bodies shattering into a storm of ice crystals that continued to rush toward the Magic Library!

Just then, a magic book that had been bound by iron chains suddenly broke free of three of its chains. As the pages turned, a hurricane carrying black snow surged out, shredding all the frozen soul birds within a 600-meter radius into ice shards. The ice crystal storm was also blown away by the black snow!

Immediately afterwards, twenty-seven floating bookshelves unfolded a three-dimensional magic array, and seven hundred copies of "The Theory of Elemental Neutrality" automatically arranged themselves into an inverted pentagram array.

Before the icy core energy from the exploding Frozen Soul Birds could spread, it was completely devoured by the amber-colored cocoon of light rising from between the pages of the book. Suddenly, three magic books wrapped in dragon scales shot out from the rainbow bridge, freezing the seventeen Frozen Soul Birds that were trying to erode the city wall in mid-air. The eternal ice seal they had cast backfired on them, turning them into ice sculptures and crashing to the ground.

The Magic Library trembled, and all the dead Frozen Soul Birds were transformed into basic energy and absorbed by the Magic Library.

With just one wave of passive defense, tens of thousands of Frozen Soul Birds were devoured by the Magic Library.

"Damn, that's impressive." Wang Bufu couldn't help but exclaim.

No wonder the Magic Spirits are so arrogant. If the Magic Library were mine, I'd be even more arrogant than them!
