Chapter 189 - The Long Dream (1/2)

In high spirits, Evan headed for the exit of the Academy. He was tired as it was a daunting task. But, he had only completed half of the plan. He needed to memorize all the information he had saved. Evan was going to do that also with the help of 71st demon Duke Dantalion.

An hour later, Evan was at home. He had spent the whole twenty-four hours in the library without resting. It really drained him a lot, but he needed to finish the work before going to bed.

He went down to the underground floor and quickly drew a sigil of the 71st demon, Duke Dantalion. This time the sigil was of the first level. Even the weakest demon essence could handle the task he needed.

Evan activated the sigil, then concentrated and entered ”Nirvana.” The old, battered book was already waiting for him there.

He calmly said his wish: ”Turn all the saved books in my mind into knowledge. I must know everything so that I can tell in which book, on which page the exact information is written.”

The book opened, and a few seconds later, Evan saw the price for his wish.

”All your mana.”

It's worth noting that the books were already in Evan's mind, and he could read each of them if he wanted to. Simply put, Evan was asking the demon for the ability to read 20,000 books in one second. Given Evan's current strength, the price for such a request could not have been the years of his life.

Evan was very tired, he didn't have an ounce of energy in him, but it had nothing to do with his mana, which is why the demon asked for just that.

”I agree.”  Evan calmly replied, and the mana from his ”Warp” began to disappear at the exact moment rapidly.

When Evan's crimson ”Warp” was completely empty, the book opened and millions of symbols headed for Evan's glabella.

To endure such a thing was a real challenge. Evan was ready for it, so he gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Countless amounts of information filled his mind. Different topics, knowledge of many fields, about various things, and even people were now in Evan's mind. Moreover, he remembered it all as if he had read each of these books several dozen times himself.

But, with each passing moment, he found it more and more difficult to endure that feeling. It was truly unbearable. He felt as if his brain was being torn apart. The knowledge was enriching, but it also strained his brain a lot at the same time.

There was no telling how much time passed, but when this process was finally over, Evan immediately passed out.

...

Ten days later, Evan opened his eyes. He slowly stood up and, holding his head, muttered: ”Fuck...if I had drained all the bars in this town yesterday, I'd feel better than now. Even now, my head still hurts, but I've done it. ”

Continuing to hold his head Evan headed for the shower. Even though he had slept for ten days, Evan had almost no energy. He needed to come to his senses and sort through the almost endless amount of information he had received.

< It's tough. I've sacrificed 30 years of my life, and in addition, now I have such a severe headache. Nevertheless, I now know everything in every book on the four floors of the library. Honestly, I didn't expect to be so exhausted. After the battle in the ”Half-Dead Forest,” I had a lot more energy in me than I do now.>

Evan thought as he got out of the shower. After that, he began to ”Create.” Evan was very hungry, but he could wait a few more minutes. He needed to replenish his mana supply.
