‘I tried to get rid of it, but the book had some kind of protection magic around it, and hence it failed.’

In the end, the two decided to hide the dark magic book in a place that only they knew.

Luke, who later lost Katarina felt completely shut down, he returned there for revenge and unlocked the Dark Magic Book.

The Dark Magic Book, contained the essence of darkness and chaos, was always carried by Saymon.

9 circle of the dark magic could surely destroy the book, but he wasn’t able to get rid of it because it was one of the few things that he shared with her.

‘What happened to that book after my death? Would Rakan have gotten rid of it? Yeah, that stupid one was a fool with no consideration, he would have done that.’

Luke entered the main hall as he saw another ridiculous sign.

‘A brave man battled with the Devil King Saymon? To write down such red lies!’

In fact, the fight with Rakan happened in front of the giant structure, where the permanent mansion was located.

“How far did these people distort the truth? Huh! what is this now? I sat on such a childish throne?”

A majestic golden throne.

Luke, no Saymon, there was no way his throne couldn’t have been so incredible.

Just in case, he wanted to see if it was real gold, however, it was just a painted seat, and jewelry on display was just glass imitation.

‘If it was real, I would have sold it on sale.’

Tilting his head back, Luke approached the wall that was behind him.

“Let’s see, this is the brick to push, and that…”

Luke, decided seven of the bricks in the wall and pressed them in turns.

As they weren’t used for a long time, the bricks didn’t move well.

But later, as he pushed them, one after the other, they started to go in.

Drrrk!

Kukuku!

The wall split from side to side, revealing a hidden passage.

As Luke began to enter, he took the help of the wall.

“Surely, the building skills of the dwarves are the best. It works perfectly even after 500 years.”

There were no traces of people moving in or out of the passage as the dust had settled down.

Except for the spiders, dust, and the webs, the place was exactly the way Saymon had left it.

Because it was made with the help of the dwarves’ knowledge of institutions, the passage wasn’t captured even with the detection magic of the wizards or the hunters.

Luke, who was descending along the secret passage, reached a large bronze gate a while later.

“In the darkness I speak to the shining spirit, open the way for the truth.”

As Luke opened the door, the magic on the bronze door reacted causing it to open.

And finally, with a damp smell of the old air, the underground laboratory revealed it’s appearance.

Wizards normally set up secret spaces in their homes, and Luke too built a laboratory in the basement.

“500 years ago.”

Luke looked at the underground laboratory with his eyes.

Cobwebs, dust, and mold were in every corner of the room, except for them all the other things were right there.

A spellbook, a flask containing a magic solution, or the experiments that he stopped doing.

Reading his experimental journal, he could almost feel disappointed.

“It’s been an experiment with almost 90% done… it isn’t time to hang out here.”

Luke opened a book which kept a record of all the lab supplies that were present.

To find what he needed.

‘Third right cabinet safe!’

Luke opened the safe which was inside the cabinet.

What he took out of the safe was a sealed vial.

A translucent black liquid in the glass moved as if it was alive.

“I found you, Magi Crystals!”
