Moku opened his eyes and saw Mak Lampir's library door in front of him. The seven tigers had already stood up and greeted him. Their positions hadn't changed at all since the last time Moku saw them made him feel like time didn't pass in this place.
Moku walked past the seven tigers who were just as silent as statues. When he entered the library, the wraiths still seemed to be busy with their activities as before.
Some are dusting, some are compiling books, some are reading, and some are transcribing parchments into books. They continued to do this until Mak Lampir ordered them to stop. Moku can't tell the difference between wraiths, their faces are so broken to be recognized and their black clothes cover their body characteristics.
Moku greeted one of the wraiths who was sweeping "Hey, do you know me? I wanted to ask if Mak Lampir has time to meet, I have something to talk about."
The wraith bowed his head politely "Of course, we recognize you Young Moksha. You came at the right time Mak Lampir just successfully decipher the symbol in the painting you brought" the voice of a broken cassette sounded from his throat.
Unlike the last wraith he encountered, this wraith had a gaping mouth as if its jaws had been forced open for a long time causing the shape of its bones to change. All of his teeth were missing but judging by the absence of any traces of teeth it seemed that they were being pulled out one by one by force. His lips and tongue were also missing, most likely cut and then burned with a hot iron so that the wound closed quickly.
Since every wraith that Moku meets has a voice like a broken record sound, Moku thinks that Mak Lampir is doing something to their vocal cords. But on second thought maybe Mak Lampir just let them scream when she tortured them so that they destroy their vocal cords by themselves.
"Is that so? Wow! I didn't expect Mak Lampir to do it this fast. How long have I been gone?" Moku asked while following the wraith to Mak Lampir's room.
"You've been gone for 1 year, 2 days, 22 hours, 1 minute, 38.. 39 seconds" replied the wraith in detail.
Moku's brow furrowed, he didn't have time to calculate how long he had been in the Astral Realm but it seemed he had been gone for over a month. If every hour in this place was equal to one day then it was only natural that Moku had been away for over a year.
The Wraith knocked on the door in front of him and they heard a grunting sound from behind the door. The Wraith nodded and opened the door, but he didn't come in and just stuck out his hand for Moku to enter.
Moku nodded in thanks and stepped into the room.
He saw Mak Lampir sitting in front of a table filled with old books that looked like they had been eaten by insects but seemed to be intact.
"You have come at the right time Young Moksha. I have managed to decipher the symbol from the painting you brought with you a year ago. As per your request, I have compiled it into two books." Mak Lampir pointed to two thick books in front of her.
Moku walked over and stood in front of the table. Moku saw the title of the two books "Vithaean Possession Art" and "Mana Cream Cultivation". These are the two books that Mak Lampir managed to make based on the symbols and DNA samples that Moku had previously brought.
That time when Mak Lampir finished explaining her hypothesis she asked Moku's real purpose to ask her to solve the symbol in Nerphyl's painting.
After hearing Mak Lampir's hypothesis about the strength of the monsters that were sealed by mana, Moku also added to it by the way he became a Moksha by evolving.
Moku tells about the inner eye and generator space that he found in his body. Moku also doesn't cover up the origins of dragon prana, limiting information in front of experts will only make them give you the wrong knowledge.
At that time Moku thought that evolving and becoming a Moksha was a way to break the seal on the monsters' bodies. However, Mak Lampir shook her head and said that Moku's opinion was not true.
Moksha is the process of an astral being breaking through the limits of his body and reaching the Spiritual Realm. The body of a Moksha is a body created to make it easier for him to adapt to the new Realm he encounters. The stronger a Moksha is, the closer his body will be to perfection to be able to live in the Spiritual Realm.
The generator room that Moku was referring to was just the beginning of a trumpet-shaped funnel. When Moku has successfully passed all the stairs and entered all the existing evolution gates, the trumpet will blow and he will automatically move to the Spiritual Realm.
While the seal that seals the true power of the monsters is a barrier given by the world so that the monsters cannot destroy the laws in it.
From another perspective, this seal was actually the world's way of helping monsters adapt to mana. After going through a long process of adaptation, one day there will be descendants of monsters that can use mana like the mana species.
So what they got from the process of interpreting the symbols in Nerphyl's paintings was a way to speed up the process of adapting monsters to mana which was the law of that world. However, if the monsters want to become Moksha then they still have to follow the path that Moku did. Starting from reviving the inner eye and opening the gates of evolution one by one.
Hearing that Moku was stunned. In his mind, it occurred to him that perhaps he had led the orcs on the wrong path. He thought that if he were to be reborn as an orc it would throw the world's laws that were running smoothly into chaos.
But instead of regretting and looking for a way to restore balance to the world, Moku smiled. He found being a Moksha and fighting the rest of the world more interesting than just being able to use mana.
Because of that, Moku returned to the Astral Realm and immediately made a conspiracy that would make the entire monster race bound by fate with the orcs. That way even though they had finally been able to use mana like the mana species they still thought of themselves as a monster and support the orcs' campaign.
In conclusion, they will be the support and shield of the orcs to fight the world later.
Moku detached from his memories when he first met Mak Lampir. He refocused his mind on the two thick books in front of him. Moku didn't open it didn't even touch it. He knew that Mak Lampir's services would not be free, so before Mak Lampir could say anything Moku made his offer.
"About the payment... I have a great deal that you will want to hear it" Moku smirked with so much confidence.
Mak Lampir tilted her head "Oh, really? Let me hear it"
"I know that what you need most right now is sin. You have been in this realm for many years maybe centuries but you haven't made any progress in researching the curse that hit you. It's not because you don't have the right information or because you lack data, but because your desires are decreasing day by day because of being eroded by this dark Mind Realm.
Therefore, to revive your enthusiasm for research, you want a sin from me. Am I right?" Moku asked.
There is no ripple on Mak Lampir's face, she just answers flatly "Yes, you are right"
Moku then continued his explanation "However you are not an evolution gatekeeper like Garuda so you don't have a chance to harvest sin from the Mokshas who pass through it.
Therefore, it could be said that I was the only hope of obtaining sin. However, I will not hand over any of my sins to you. But I provide a better solution than that.
I want to ask you Mak Lampir, are you interested in being the gatekeeper of the seal of the monsters?"
This time Mak Lampir's expression changed, her eye lit up, and her forehead furrowed. "The gatekeeper of the seals of the monsters?"
Moku smiled, he had managed to make this terrible creature in front of him interested, "That's true Mak Lampir. These two books will be used by monsters other than the orc race. By reading and understanding them they will find a way to unseal them. That's when you can take their sin as payment for removing the seal."
"Hmm... It makes sense, but sin can't be taken by force, there must be the consent of both parties," said Mak Lampir.
"The method is quite easy, you just need to make every monster who wants to use the way to unseal their power based on the guidelines of this book need to pay the sin to you first." Moku smiled.
"khekhekhekhekehKhakhakhaKHAKHAKHAKHA!!! It's genius Young Moksha... khekhekhe... Then what sin do you want to set as payment value?" said Mak Lampir in a good mood.
"The sin of greed to rule"
