Chapter 147: Life Goddess (1/2)

The next day passed just like the last day, and when the night came Kadyn entered the shop. Tonight he was going to select a rune. He had no idea what kind of rune he was going to choose, his heart couldn't help but beat faster in anticipation.

After all, every rune would give a different advantage to the mage. Like, Barret's Earthrune gave him the ability to suppress his enemies by increasing the gravity in limited space.

Hot Rod's Firerune gave him the ability to control and manipulate fire according to his will. Though he would be at a disadvantage against someone who had built an explosive, fighting type rune, he cared a little about it, as he was passionate about forging.

So he would rather have a supporting rune that would help him increase his skills than the one that gives some kind of brute strength.

As for Cecelia, Kadyn had no idea what kind of rune she had formed, and neither had any intention to ask.

Kadyn shook his head and entered the library. Then he went towards the Rank 1 section. He stopped neither at the spell shelves, nor on the potions, nor any other section. He directly passed them one by one and arrived in front of a group of shelves. Rune Section — it was written at the top of it.

Then Kadyn noticed that the shelves were again divided into mini-sections. Rank 1 to Rank 6. He had already inquired about it and knew that the runes were divided according to the Spell Caster Ranking.

Rank 1 rune would let anyone reach a Rune Building stage, Rank 2 to the Fusion, Rank 3 to the Creation, so on and so forth. Hot Rod and Barret had built Rank 2 runes so they could reach only Fusion Rank.

[Author Note: if you build a Rank 2 rune it will just give you a slight chance of reaching the Fusion Rank, and the same is true for other runes. It doesn't give a guarantee, but just a small possibility. Many other factors would decide if one can reach a certain rank or not.]

Kadyn drew a deep breath and took a scroll out of the first shelf and opened it. Barbaric Bear was its name. The entire scroll was covered in unreadable gibberish, or more precisely, it was a sketch drawn by hundreds of lines. After looking deeply, Kadyn realised it was the face of a bear. There was an explanation below the rune, but Kadyn didn't read it.

He placed the scroll back on the shelf. It was just a Rank 1 rune, and he had no interest in it.

Afterwards, he turned towards another shelf and took out a scroll. It was a Rank 5 rune scroll. Inside there was a picture filled with vibrant colours — mountains and trees could be seen inside. Robust Mountain, Gentle Trees. That's what it was called.

And this time he read the description below the rune and realised that the rune had two elements: wood and earth. The wood would give the ability of self-healing while the earth would give a powerful defence.
