High Elf Tomb.
Since Felina didn’t object anymore, things became easier. The group ran straight to the room Derrac was in. Along the way, Morrigan wanted to pick up the High Elf swords and shields all over the ground, but someone was faster than him. With a whoosh, all the equipment was gone.
Morrigan looked up and saw Felina.
She scoffed, looking down on Morrigan. “I can’t let a grave robber have these things!”
“Didn’t you say you look down on grave robbers? Why are you taking it?” Morrigan asked sadly. He had come to mooch, but he didn’t plan on taking everything. He would be satisfied with just one piece.
Seeing through him, Felina scoffed coldly. “Don’t even think about one! As for me, I’m taking it for Master Link. They all have ancient enchantments. I’m giving it to him to research.”
Morrigan finally understood everything. This dragon was just biased! He couldn’t do anything about it though. He wasn’t as talented as Link, so he could only swallow it.
When they reached the room, Felina still kept her eyes on Morrigan, not letting him take a single thing. Link pretended he didn’t see anything. If Felina wanted to be the evil person, he wouldn’t complain.
Of course, Morrigan was the guide, so he deserved a portion of the loot. However, Morrigan would just sell these things so Link could give him gold in compensation.
At the moment, Link was attracted by the bookshelves at either side of the room. He walked over and carefully checked it. Confirming that there were no dangerous magic traps, he began flipping through the ancient books.
They were all written in the ancient High Elf language. Link couldn’t read it, but thankfully, the game system would translate for him. When he looked, the common language would appear in his vision so he could understand it all.
There were many books here—around 2,000. Link looked through them one-by-one and discovered that many were already damaged. Only around ten percent were in good condition. Overlooking the poem collections and other random books, there were only around 20 truly valuable magic books. A large majority were damaged too.
Finally, he found a case made of eternium ore on the shelf with an Eternal Magic Seal engraved on it. He guessed there was something good in it.
After opening the case, he saw a hardcover magic spell book. It looked heavy, and the title was straightforward—Talisman Enchanting.
Link was overjoyed. He took it out and flipped through, discovering a complete set of talisman enchanting spells. It had everything from basic to advanced spells.
This is a book worth a few cities. No wonder it was kept in such a beautiful eternium ore case! he thought.
Just as he was about to put in the case and away, he realized that there was another book in the bottom. This one was thinner, and the title was handwritten. It was translated to Undefeated, and the author was Derrac himself.
Link flipped through. He started scanning, but after one minute, he began reading more closely. Then, he stood there and stopped moving. The book was very advanced and explored the Sea of Void. It mainly discussed the existence of singularities.
What was a singularity?
According to the book, a singularity was a point in the Sea of Void where the natural laws gathered. There was an infinite amount of singularities, and each one contained unbelievable power.
Derrac didn’t only suggest the concept of singularities in the book. He also discussed in detail a type of dagger called “Breakpoint.” The book said:
“Singularities exist, but they cannot be felt or controlled. However, nothing is impossible in the world.
“Through a certain method, a special type of crystallized metalphoto grade alchemy product can capture this type of singularity. Of course, the Sea of Void is boundless with very few singularities. The chance of capturing one is very, very small, practically impossible. However, I was blessed by God and was lucky to capture one, solidifying it in a metalphoto dagger.
“I call this dagger ‘Breakpoint,’ meaning ‘to execute.’
“The metalphoto is too hard and difficult to shape. Thus, I was forced to go against the aesthetic requirements of my race and create a very plain dagger. This dagger is steel gray without any strength waves. If you find it on the streets, I bet you will think it is a steel dagger…In actuality, the Breakpoint dagger is the sharpest dagger in the world. It can slice every existence in the Firuman World. Note, I mean every existence!”
Reading this, Link’s heart began pounding. He picked up the case and saw a small indent at the bottom. In it was a crude dagger, less than 20 centimeters, and steel gray, lying there quietly.
There were four High Elf words scrawled onto the body of the dagger. It read, “The Breakpoint dagger, stopped by nothing.”
Link carefully grasped the dagger and used it to scrape the extremely hard eternium case. With a soft sound, some of the metal flaked off of the case. The entire process was as easy as cutting tofu.
Link looked back at the Storm Lord sword that he’d always used, and the sword spirit instantly started yelling in his mind. If you want to try it on me, I’ll make you die with me!
Can it really cut through everything? Link thought in shock. He had been a little doubtful when he first took the dagger and thought that Derrac was bragging. Seeing the reaction from the Storm Lord sword’s spirit, he totally believed it.
It has a singularity on it, and it’s really, really terrifying, the Storm Lord explained. I think it can even slice through a Divine Weapon from the Sea of Void, let alone any existence in Firuman.
Hearing this, Link was shocked. He studied the dagger carefully. Still in disbelief, he took out an arcanite bar. This was even harder than eternium and was probably the strongest metal.
With a light cut, the arcanite broke into two pieces. With another cut, there was a curled layer of metallic shreds while the Breakpoint dagger was still unharmed.
I can’t believe that it’ll cut through all solid objects. What about virtual objects?
