Chapter 216 - The Last Chain (1/2)

After ”Splash” was over and Evan got a new spell, he heard the loud ringing of the chain. Evan had been wondering for a long time what he needed to do to unlock the last chain, and that moment had arrived.

<I've spent a huge amount of time and mana to unlock 100 chains. Only one last chain is left. Alright, no need to hesitate.>

Evan thought and immediately started ”Creation.” His Warp quickly absorbed mana from the environment, and Evan redirected it to the black Pillar.

<Now there's another Pillar next to the giant rat. I wonder what kind of spell it's hiding behind it. When I have some free time, I'll have to look into it.>

When Evan broke through to the stage - ”One-Pointed Star” - his Creation speed increased significantly, but he still couldn't unlock the last chain even after a full day.

<I need just an incredible amount of mana, I guess I'll have to continue at this pace for a few more days.>

Reykar was taking a small amount of mana as always, but Evan didn't mind. He was interested in making Reykar stronger. It didn't slow the whole process down much.

After a couple of days, Evan finally poured in the right amount of mana.

<It took quite a while, but I hope it was worth it. I can't wait to see what kind of spell is depicted on these chains.>

Evan thought as he watched the last chain fly off into the ”Library.” Evan followed it. He wanted to see and learn the new spell as soon as possible.

”This is it...” Mumbled Evan looking at the 101 chains in front of him. They were stacked together to form a large magical circle.

”Hmm, this is an unusual magical circle, I've never seen anything like it before. What's more, it's very different from the sigils of demons. Is it something else entirely?” Evan was puzzled.

He was finally able to unlock all the circuits, but he didn't even know how to begin learning this spell.

”Okay, we should start by examining these chains again, maybe I can find some clue.”

Evan leisurely walked over to the magic circle, and as soon as he touched the chains, they all glowed brightly.

At the exact moment, dark energy began to emanate from the Pillar next to the lion. It headed toward Evan, and the chains started to collapse gradually.

Evan didn't understand what was happening, but he could do nothing to stop the process. When almost all of the chains were destroyed, the dark energy penetrated Evan's glabella.

But, this was not the end. Dozens of different symbols and runes were left floating in the air and quickly transformed into a strange magical circle. Scarlet-colored energy began to emanate from it, which also penetrated Evan's glabella.

At the same moment, a phrase sounded in Evan's head:

[The first Pillar of the Lion's Sigil has been activated. Your Pride has increased.]

[Lucifer's Shackles Spell Received]

[Second Pillar of the Lion's Sigil has been received.]

Shuh.

A crimson Magic Circle appeared in the dark space, and a Pillar black as the abyss emerged. It was shrouded in a multitude of chains, and it came crashing down next to the lion. Evan felt an incredible rush of strength.

Suddenly Evan felt very strange. He felt as if the whole world was in the palm of his hand. He had only experienced something like this once before when he had killed the warden in prison.

<What a wonderful feeling... but it's pretty dangerous. Right now, I feel like I'm the strongest in the world, that I can destroy an entire mountain with one touch, but it's just a deception. It seems to be that fine line between hubris and overconfidence. Perhaps the stronger I get, the stronger this feeling will become. I need to control myself and my emotions properly.>

Concluded Evan gradually calming down.
