Chapter 635: The Strange Hall...
**BUURRST** **BUURRST**
His two eyeballs exploded within his eyes as Zeras smashed into the ground, rolling on the ground, before finally smashing his back against the wall, skidding to a stop on his knees…
**DRROP** **DROOOP**
The sound of blood dripping to the ground echoed through the hall. Zeras simply stood there for some seconds, but in the next instant, a strange scene occurred as the blood pouring down his face suddenly began floating up into the sky before diving straight back into his eyes.
“Know your place, piece of trash…” Zeras called out, and in the next instant, his two eyes flashed open. In the next second…
**SHRIIIIIING**
The sound of a sword being pulled out of its sheath rang out as he slashed out with horrifying speed, a gigantic beam of sword light flashing through the hall, followed by the head of a statue soaring into the sky.
**BAAAM** **BAAAM** **BAAAM**The entire ground beneath his feet shuddered crazily as the statue head roughly landed on the ground, rolling a few times before coming to a stop…
“Tch,” Zeras clicked irritatingly, slashing forward three more times before unsheathing his swords, followed by the noise of the statues crashing onto the ground resounding through the golden hall.
It seemed when he had entered the hall, he had turned his attention to the eyes of the statue, which held some strange power that immediately reduced Zeras’s eyeballs to nothing at the slightest contact. Still, the statue was nothing more than what it was, and only its eyes were destructive. It was otherwise very weak bodily.
Looking around the room, he could see there were close to thousands of runic lines present, each of them flashing around continuously before immediately disappearing. They had no specific order to themselves at all, but at the far end of the hall, there was a single golden grimoire present, held on a pulpit.
Walking towards the pulpit, his eyebrows creased when he looked at the book, discovering it was a replica of the first one he had seen within the hall. Arriving before the book, his hands stretched forward as he took the book in his palms before looking at the cover. On it, three words were written:
**An Unfulfilled God’s Diary…**
“Strange…” Zeras mused to himself before opening to the first page of the book, but it was completely blank.
“A blank grimoire? No. There is something strange ongoing…” Zeras mused, turning to look at the various runic lines that were present in the place and soon noticed all of them moving away from the hall and diving straight into the book in front of him.
The blank page lit up with a golden light that covered the entirety of the page, and slowly an image began appearing on the book.
Time passed quickly as the entirety of the runes present dived straight into the book and finally it became as clear as day.
“A…a map?” Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow and the second he said it, the entire hall around him immediately collapsed into nothing as Zeras felt the space around him crumbling into nothing before he himself disappeared into the collapsed space.
—
Opening his eyes, Zeras found himself back in front of the glass box, his hands still holding the glass, and with a simple yank, he easily opened up the glass, revealing the book, as Zeras’s eyes flashed with light.
“Finally…” he muttered to himself, yet something suddenly flashed by with incredible speed, and a light flashed in Zeras’s eyes as he stretched his hands forward and grabbed the object just before it could grab the book.
Turning to look at the side, he could see the figure was a very short girl, whose second hand quickly reached out for the book, but she still easily got outsmarted by Zeras who slapped the second hand away by throwing the first one which he held as the girl was sent tumbling away.
And without even bothering himself, he easily grabbed the book off and in the next moment it was already in his spatial ring.
“You will now be teleported away from the hall in 3…2…1… Now.” The voice in charge echoed out as the girl hurriedly jumped up from the ground and ran towards him.
“Wait up, you bastard…” she screamed as Zeras remained rooted to where he was but just as her hands came an inch close, he disappeared away from the hall, as Ataraxia ended up grabbing nothing before she slammed her head on the shelves in front of her path, and the shelf also collapsed, burying her within a pile of books.
“You!” Ataraxia screamed out, cut off by pitch blackness.
—
In the next instant, he appeared outside the large golden gate and immediately he walked towards the silver gate.
Now that he had his cultivation manual and his nine star manual. He didn’t even know what book to pick next.
A movement technique or another sword technique, perhaps a defense technique.
“You have 10 hours to choose a single manual…” The voice resounded through the entire hall as he began browsing through the various books aroud the place looking for a perfect one.
Yet after a total of 2 hours of browsing around, Zeras couldn’t find a single book that was worth hi attention.
Majority of them were just too low in his standards and weren’t worth his almost non-existent time.
But after searching for an hour more, Zeras came across a book that made him grin widely as he picked it up and looked at it’s description.
{Burly War General Manual}
