Rebirth Of Abium - Volume 2: Volume 2 Chapter 171 171: Level Up

Chapter 171: Level-Up

Shaking his head, Abium took out all the ingredients for the ‘Dawn Shackle Potion’ from his spatial ring and placed them on a neat table.

After that, he lit one of the Fire Burners, took out a glass flash, and then put it on the Fire burner. He then poured 100 ml of Endless Seawater into the flask and added one Red Leaf into it. He adjusted the temperature to 46.7C and let the Red Leaf boil in the 100 ml Endless Seawater for 4 minutes 32 seconds. He added two drops of Elite Mermaid’s blood and 3.5 grams of Moon sugar into the flask after that.

After two seconds of waiting, he added one gram of powdered skull bone of a 1000-year-old elf into the glass flash and then turned off the Fire Burner.

But suddenly, he saw that the potion color started turning into green color and then into a purple one. A moment later, it began to boil violently, and soon the whole flask exploded in a bang.

Abium became stunned for a moment and soon started to frown.

‘Why did it explode?’ Puzzlement crossed his face as he took out another flask and concocted the Dawn shackle potion once again. But this time, he added every ingredient carefully and analyzed all steps.

After a few minutes, he once again failed to concoct the potion and became confused.

During the third time, he even asked Azolla’s help and began to concoct. But once again, he failed.

Frustration appeared on his face. But he didn’t give up, though; Instead, he thought of using the ‘Quick thinking spell’ during the concoction.

After some time, once again, he failed to concoct the potion. But Abium smiled as he found out his earlier mistake and got relieved.

‘Heh, even a single millisecond variation could lead to failure, huh. I understood why Potioneering is tough.’ Abium nodded his head and once again began to concoct.

After a careful concoction, Abium finally succeeded in concocting the Dawn Shackle potion and curled his lips upward.

He then transferred the potion into a small vial and stored it in his spatial ring.

After that, he stored all those alchemic equipment types into his ring and walked out of the Laboratory room.

‘Hmm, storage and treasure room should be in the Underground layer.’ Abium nodded his head and teleported to the underground layer.

Within a second, he reappeared in the underground layer and noticed he arrived in some kind of large room. At the center, he saw a large two cubic meter black box and got startled.

‘Locker?’ A surprised expression appeared on his face.

He also saw many runic circles inscribed all over the box and got excited.

‘Oh? They used a second-tier lock spell to secure this locker!’ Abium nodded with a smile and walked near to it. After analyzing the lock for a moment, he began to crack the runic lock.

He drew multiple rune words in the thin air and sent those words towards the black box. Like butterflies, all those magical rune words flew towards those rune circles and directly absorbed into them.

Abium lips arched upward as he noticed the changes and continued doing similar things.

After an hour of continuous work, Abium finally stopped drawing runes in the air and muttered loudly.

“Break!”

For a moment, silence appeared, and soon all those rune circles began to disappear like it was never there before.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Abium walked near towards the box and opened the rim lock.

With a screech, the black square box opened and revealed two wooden boxes inside.

Abium quickly picked up the wooden box on the right side and opened it slowly.

Within a second, the box opened with a click, revealing 104 white crystalline cards and one silver spatial ring.

Abium’s eyes widened as he stared at those cards and gulped down his saliva.

‘104,000 white gold coins! F*ck I’m rich.’ Abium almost shouted out loud and carefully stored all those cards into his spatial ring and then turned his attention to the spatial ring.

He didn’t waste any time and checked while imprinting his spiritual power in it.

‘Empty?’ Abium got puzzled.

He let out a helpless sigh and moved his eyes towards the second wooden box.

He didn’t delay any longer and opened it quickly with a click.

But this time, Abium wasn’t shocked; instead, he was disappointed. He noticed that the second treasure box was filled with only important doc.u.ments and some transaction papers. After thinking for a moment, he burned all those papers and quietly walked out of the locker room.

He then moved towards the storage room and soon arrived in front of a large underground Hall. The hall was almost as large as a three-storied mansion, which made Abium freeze in shock for a moment. Inside were filled with large bags of wheat, millets, maize, rice, and other food materials.

After checking all those large bags, Abium was beyond surprised.

‘50,000 tons of wheat, 27,000 tons of rice, 7,000 tons of Maize…’ Abium became shocked by the number of food materials and didn’t know what to do with them.

After pondering for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and made up his mind.

He teleported to the core room and then took out Heller’s spatial ring.

After imprinting it with his spirit power, he checked it and shook his head in disappointment.

Although he found some materials and five crystalline cards inside, he didn’t found anything precious.

‘At least, this ring has more space than my own.’ Abium nodded his head as he checked the 30 cubic meter large spatial ring. Following that, he shifted his attention to the foods in the underground and fell into deep thoughts.

‘First, I need to find a way to transport all these materials. Should I use that cargo ship and transport everything to my territory through the devil sea?’ A bold idea appeared in his mind. But he instantly dismissed that idea.

‘That would reveal my original identity.’ Abium creased his eyebrows.

‘Although I can summon Grim King with the summoning ritual method and ask him to send it to my territory, I don’t think that’s a proper way to use that powerful messenger.’ He massaged his template and fell into a dilemma.

After pondering for a moment, he let out a sigh and shook his head.

‘I think robbing these food materials is not a good idea.’ Abium thought inwardly and soon appeared at the entrance of the magic tower

But now, the whole entrance was filled with riots, which made Abium frown a bit. Abium saw many slaves were throwing stones, knives at Holy knights, adventurers, and soldiers and appeared to be protecting all those slave traders.

After a simple scan, he found out more than 10,000 slaves gathered at the entrance, and hundreds of Slave traders were hiding behind those slaves.

Meanwhile, Smith and Nadine also giving out orders and appeared fl.u.s.tered. Abium even noticed many soldiers and Holy knights were not following their orders and shook his head in disappointment. Abium then turned his gaze towards those slave traders who stood behind those slaves in a large group and noticed a silk clothed fat guy was sending out orders to all those slaves.

“Slave number 3549 died while defending his master. So I will grant freedom for two days to his son, slave number 2465.”

“Slave number 5993 betrayed her master by putting his life in danger. I now grant a death sentence to her two children and her husband in the name of Justice.”

“Slave number 406 killed two adventurers to protect his master. He did a great job, so that I will grant him one extra meal for the next six months.”

.

That silk clothed fat guy shouted out strange orders, which caused both excitement and fear in the slaves’ heart.

Upon seeing this strange scene, Abium’s eyes went cold.

‘Tsk, he is using those slaves as a shield.’ Abium easily guessed the current situation and sighed heavily.

Within a few seconds, he arrived near Nadine and Smith and looked at the silk clothed plump guy coldly. The chubby guy had brown hair, deep-set black eyes, fair skin face with few wrinkles, and looked around 60-years-old. Abium also noticed all those slave runes’ on those slaves’ foreheads were starting to shine brightly whenever that fat guy sends out orders and soon widened his eyes.

‘Isn’t this rune I saw in Count Tibal’s territory? Did they succeed in fully controlling humans?’ He was surprised inside.

The next instant, his figure disappeared from there and reappeared behind that fat guy.

But he didn’t attack that plump guy. Instead, he cast the ‘Seer’s vision’ spell.

A second later, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

‘Massacre… I don’t have enough power to change their fates…’ He furrowed his brows as he took out a strange white gem from his spatial ring and smiled wryly. It was the Soul Tricker artifact he got it from the Dark Dungeon. He sent his consciousness into it and soon grinned as he saw Heller’s spiritual form was hanging upside down in the strange room. In the meantime, multiple runes were extracting spirit power from his soul and transporting it to a separate section. When he killed Heller, he didn’t forget to capture Heller’s soul and put him into this Soul Tricker artifact. Shaking his head, he turned his attention towards the fat guy and made up his mind.

‘I will take their strength.’ His eyes grew resolute.

While he was in muse, the fat guy let out a creaky laugh and shouted at those slaves.

“If you protect us using your bodies as shields, and I will grant freedom to your children.”

“Are you the leader of these slave traders?” A cold voice came out from Abium’s mouth as he glared at the fat guy from behind.

The second later, the fat guy’s laugh froze and soon turned into a mocking smile. With a mocking smile on his face, he turned around and said haughtily.

“Mr. Mage, I don’t know how you manage to kill our lord Heller, but you made a big mistake. So, how do you want to die?”

Abium smiled instead of responding and directly plunged his scarlet sword into the fatty slave trader’s chest!

The fat guy became horrified by his action. Meanwhile, Abium simply withdrew his sword and cut off his head neatly. After that, he turned his head towards those remaining dumbfounded slave traders and ordered coldly.

“You have 1 minute to release all these slaves.”

But his threatening words didn’t induce fear or panic in those slave traders’ eyes.

All of them turned their heads towards Abium and picked up small strange black knives from their waists. After that, they began to shout a sentence in unison while stabbing the knives into their own heart.

“We are the eyes and ears of the Three Heads! We will once again rule over the continent.”

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he heard those words.

A second later, everyone saw those hundreds of slave traders fell on the ground with the lifeless look on their faces.

But that was just the start. Even before others could wake up from the shock, they heard a series of strange bursting sounds.

Slaves’ heads were starting to blow up one by one!

Within five seconds, the whole area filled with scarlet blood and flesh.

Thousands of headless bodies fell on the ground one by one, giving strange chillness to the whole area.

Upon seeing those thousands of headless corpses, Abium’s heart started to ache.

A heartbeat later, a strange hum came from the fat guy’s chest, and soon an illusionary snake monster with three-heads descended onto the Magic Tower’s entrance.

It turned its three heads sharply towards Abium and stared hissing loudly. It clearly remembered Abium’s appearance and swung its long tail towards the nearby wall.

Creak!

A spatial crack appeared as the tail collided against the concrete wall and soon expanded inch by inch.

‘That spatial crack… It must be linked to Abyss. It’s going to suck those slaves’ souls.’ Abium’s eyes flickered as he noticed the demon’s plan and instantly activated the Soul Tricker artifact.

Countless illusionary red chains crept out from the small white gem and soon began to grab those slaves’ souls. Although the souls screamed in resistance, he didn’t mind anything and absorbed those souls into the Soul Trinket.

‘Do I have to come here and do this kind of cruel thing?’ He mumbled with a helpless look on his face.

‘It’s not your fault. It’s the so-called Three-Headed demon’s fault, kid. If you didn’t capture these souls, this demon will take their souls to the Abyss and devour them as food. Although your action will injure their souls, they won’t die permanently. Their souls will move to the Eternal River of Life and then recovered in it. After a millennium or two, they will have a chance to reincarnate in this Easica world.’ Azolla consoled him in his mind.

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he conjured two fireballs and threw them towards the illusionary three-headed snake demon. Although the three-headed snake demon tried to block the two fireballs, it wasn’t strong enough. Within a second, the two fireballs broke the illusionary figure and soon burned the fat slaver’s body.

Abium didn’t even glance at the disappearing demon’s incarnation; instead, he turned his face solemn and looked at the spatial crack. It was expanding slowly.

‘I need to grow stronger. One day, I will kill this Three-Heads.’ He swore to himself as he sensed the danger hidden behind the expanding spatial crack and thought of retreating.

But before that, he had to do something. He turned his gaze towards the dumbfounded soldiers, adventurers, and a few Holy Knights and then said in a heavy tone,

“Get the hell out of here.”

Hundreds of soldiers, adventurers, and Holy Knights woke up from the shock and ran in different directions, leaving Abium, Smith, and Nadine at the Magic Tower’s entrance.

“You two, go and pack your belongings. This town is not safe anymore.” Abium said with a heavy tone.

Both nodded their heads and moved towards the shore area.

After a few minutes, Abium, Smith, and Nadine walked out of the Port town and moved towards Keris Kingdom’s direction.

On the way, Abium gave both of them a secret task and asked them to finish it by the end of the year.

After a few discussions, he separated from them and moved in a different direction.

…

The next day,

It was before dawn.

A lone elven figure with a grey robe stood at the top of an isolated mountain while gazing at the east with excitement in his eyes. He had shoulder lengthen blonde hair, sharpened ears like knives, and deep-set amber eyes, which often could be mistaken as two precious gems. On his right hand was a golden liquid vial that was emitting bright light due to the reflection of sudden daylight. He was none other than Abium.

A pleasant smile appeared on Abium’s face as he saw the dawn light. He then opened the vial with his fingers and gulped the whole golden liquid into his mouth.

The next instant, a twisted expression appeared on his face as he let out a painful m.o.a.ning sound. Abium felt his soul was going through a painful process and overcoming the invisible shackle. After a minute of a long, painful process, Abium breathed out a sigh of relief and noticed that the pain inside his body and the soul were fading away.

[Unknown changes are happening in the Host’s body due to the consumption of Dawn shackle potion! Warning! Warning! Warning! ]

[Host’s soul is being shackled by divine power. Host’s elven bloodline is strengthened due to the Dawn shackle potion.]

[A sudden increase in Host’s spiritual power that caused Host’s body and soul to breakthrough into a Second-tier mage]

[Strength rose by 1.2]

[Agility rose by 1.0]

[Vitality rose by 1.5]

[Spirit power rose by 0.2]

[High-Elf bloodline spell awakened: Dream walker]

Blue words appeared in front of his eyes, which made Abium freeze for a moment.

‘Dream walker? What’s that?’ He got startled a bit. A moment later, hidden information about the ‘Dream walker’ spell model coming out from his elven blood essence and entered his Sea of Consciousness. He could feel unique rune words with law power were continually coming out from his blood essence and then stored inside his Sea of Consciousness.

As he skimmed through the information, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

‘So, if I want to get this High Elf bloodline spell, I have to sacrifice one spell model, huh.’ Abium got confused, and soon he heard Azolla’s words.

‘That’s rare. It would take many rituals to awaken this mystical bloodline spell at an early stage, kid. It must have something to do with the divine power in your body. Somehow my core and the divine power strengthened your bloodline during the implantation process. That must be the reason for you to awaken this mystical bloodline spell at an earlier stage. Well, only High-Elves and some strong-willed elves would awaken the mystic bloodline spell-like Dream Walker.’

‘But why Dream Walker? Not some other mystic bloodline spells?’ Abium felt something was off and asked with a frown on his forehead.

‘Even High Elves awaken mystic bloodline spells randomly. But I heard it has something to do with one’s own heart. Think carefully, have you ever encountered strange dreams before?’ Hearing Azolla’s words, Abium fell into deep contemplation.

‘Strange dreams? I had strange dreams before. The first time was at the underground tunnel right below the waterfall in the forgotten land. Then the second time was at the castle of Bare Keep town. Those two dreams felt so real, and even I mistook it as future visions.’ Abium stopped for a moment and began to explain those dreams to Azolla.

‘I don’t have any clue about your first Dream, kid. But I think your second Dream has something to do with Prince Raollet. Or maybe it has something to do with the real Hemarc. You met the statue of the evil goddess statue, and then it changed into Mother Nature statue indicates someone had already interfered with that Dream.

You must have used the Dream Walker ability unconsciously at that time and entered into a believer of evil goddess’s Dream. But an expert, who is specialized in dreams, must have managed to perceive the danger hidden in that Dream and changed it forcefully.

Otherwise, your soul might be already devoured by the evil goddess. Gods are strange beings, kid. They can enter deep in your Sea of consciousness like the Time god Udnir and even alter your memories forcefully.’ As he heard Azolla’s words, cold sweats began to appear on his forehead.

‘An expert who is specialized in Dreams?’ Abium suddenly thought of a foggy n.a.k.e.d-lady and got chills all over.

‘Azolla, can you tell me more about this Dream walker spell?’ Abium asked.

‘Dream-Walker. It’s a spell that could help one to enter into others’ dreams without their approval. If you want to learn more about the Dream Walker spell, you must understand Dreams’ secrets

Dreams and Nightmares are happening due to the presence of a strange world called Woolgather world. It is a world filled with dreams and nightmares of all living beings in the universe, and this world is a Supreme world like Abyss and Hell and has more than 10,000 layers hidden. Each layer has an equal landmass as low planes like the undead plane. I also heard there were thousands of Dream lords and Nightmare lords ruling different domains of the Dreamworld and controlling the will of the Dreamworld using strange methods.’

She stopped for a moment as if she was organizing her thoughts and continued solemnly. ‘Dream walker spell helps one soul to enter and leave the dream world on its own. Controlling ones’ dreams and nightmares are always scarier than other mystic bloodline spells. If you manage to understand the secrets of dream law, you will have an easy time entering others’ Sea of consciousness and stealing their memories. That’s the reason this spell is much more important than other bloodline spells.’

‘It’s a scary spell indeed!’ Abium nodded his head and soon noticed he could also enter his Sea of Consciousness quickly using this Dream-Walker spell.

He stood there analyzing the ‘Dream-Walker’ spell model for a few minutes and thought of replacing the spell model soon.

‘Azolla, so which spell model should I sacrifice to replace this ‘Dream Walker’ spell model?’ Abium asked.

‘Hmm, choose that Aura of Hallucination spell model, kid. Although this spell could inflict some damage to first-tier mages’ minds, it will be useless against second-tier mages. Also,’ She paused for a moment and continued, ‘this ‘Dream-Walker’ bloodline spell is more important than the normal spell.’

After hearing her words, Abium made up his mind.

‘Before that, I need to increase my Spirit Power.’ Abium muttered to himself and quickly took out the Soul-Tricker artifact from his spatial ring. After absorbing one-tenth of Spirit Powers from Heller and other ten thousands of souls, Soul-Tricker gem began to emit a dim white light. Abium sensed that the spirit power stored in the Soul-Tricker artifact would be more than enough for him to construct more than two second-tier spell models and became surprised. As for the injured souls, they were already released from the artifact and were disappeared from his visions.

Casting those useless thoughts away, Abium let his consciousness enter into the Soul-Tricker artifact and glanced at the white and red clouds. He checked the Soul-Tricker artifact’s interior and soon found out a mechanism that could separately extract those two clouds. Upon discovering this, he hurriedly removed the red clouds from the Soul-Tricker and stored the white clouds in a separate section.

After that, he withdrew his consciousness and then searched the nearby area.

After he breakthrough into a second-tier mage, Abium felt his sense had sharpened to a different level.

‘Hmm, it seems my spiritual scan ability’s range also increased five-folds.’ Abium nodded his head and soon understood that he could crush an apprentice-mage simply using his spirit power.

‘Heh, this is the difference between official mage and second-tier mage, huh.’ Abium finally understood the difference in strength and curled his lips upwards.

After checking he was in a safe place, he sat down on a small rock while closing his amber eyes and began to absorb the Spirit Power continuously.

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

[Spirit power rose by 5.0]

Abium devoured the spirit power continuously for the next two hours and soon opened his eyes as he noticed that his spirit power had already risen above 300. Abium then extracted the information about the ‘Dream walker’ spell model and sent it towards the ‘Aura of Hallucination’ Spell model in his mind. Inside his Sea of Consciousness, a white cloud filled with complicated rune words flew up towards the seven stars and soon entered into a dark star. The next instant, Abium felt a bang inside his head.

Simultaneously, the ‘Aura of Hallucination’ spell model exploded in his Sea of Consciousness. A heartbeat later, complicated runes filled with Dream Law power came out from the white cloud and formed into another dark spell model. Abium felt deep pain from his mind and noticed that the explosion of the ‘Aura of Hallucination’ spell model had done some damage to his Sea of Consciousness. Abium’s face turned sour as he noticed the changes and got anxious inside.

‘Don’t worry, kid. The wound in his Sea of consciousness will heal in a month. Till then, stay out of trouble and refrain yourself from using spell models.’ Azolla said solemnly.

‘Okay. Hmm, show me my body status.’ He said in his mind, and soon, a row of blue letters appeared in front of his eyes.

A rare smile appeared on his face as he saw the changes in his status. Nodding his head, he created two crimson wings behind his back and flew towards the northern direction.

Of course, his next destination was the Zistedel Empire.
