Chapter 1171: Rewards (8)

[Rune Enlightenment Fundamentals (—) (Ancient Secret)]

The depths of presence and breadth of mass to carve out one’s stroke of greatness

Sylas stared at the introduction.

This wasn’t the first time he had seen something like this. It was the second.

Almost subconsciously, he flipped his other palm and another tome appeared, this one looking heavy and yet being so light and airy it might as well have not existed at all.

An echo of the past to form the strokes of the future

‘The depths of presence and breadth of mass… an echo of the past to form the future…’

The two rolled back and forth in Sylas’ mind. One would have thought that they were two halves of the same treasure, but Sylas actually didn’t believe that.

Instead, it felt more like the tomes were clashing, as though they wanted nothing more than to leap up from his palms and shred the other apart.

But what was clear to Sylas was that one held a Lineage of Time, and the other—his new one—held a Lineage of Space.

Sylas had had Gralith’s help to decipher the Time Lineage Tome, but he still hadn’t grasped it completely. Though, he had been able to—recently—start applying it in combat.

When he used Aetherflow, he had been able to layer his Runes through time a bit, sending out flashing echoes of them to have them combine at the right moment to catch an opponent off guard.

Honestly, he had almost done it casually, because in reality, such a thing shouldn’t have been possible. At least the way Gralith described things, these tomes weren’t here to give him some magical time and space powers. Instead, they were here to allow him to use interpretations of time and space to facilitate his understanding of Runes to a deeper extent.

This was still very much true. In fact, from what Sylas could tell, the only reason he had been able to do that in the Versus Dungeon was because of the unique circumstances.

He had been in a world that adapted to his limits, and he had been hiding enough of himself that the world’s laws practically collapsed when he pushed past them, allowing him to do things he certainly couldn’t do out here.
