'It seems this Fex dimension did belong to the Bidora Empire. But there are still a few information confuses me. If the Lockridge family really did swore allegiance to the Holy See, then why there are still conflicts between them?

Wait a minute!...

The founder of the Peral kingdom was Theodric, and this diary owner Novak also mentioned that he was a Traitor. But the problem is even during the end of the Chaos era, the only one who stood beside the citizens were the royal family members.' Abium frowned deeper, and soon his lips started to curl upwards.

He could tell this diary owner Novak was indirectly informing the readers that the Lockridge Royal family was a traitor of the Bidora Empire. If someone read all these diary notes, they would definitely believe all of those contents as real even if it was falsified.

But Abium was the one who came from the future, and he knows what would happen in the future. Still, there was some correct information hidden in those two pages, causing Abium to fell into deep thought.

'The information about the Tear of Phoenix is true. But I can tell there is something wrong about history. For now, all I can do is collecting more pages and find out what happened during Bidora Empire.' Abium thought for a while and silently nodded.

Then, he stored those four of Novak's diary pages into his spatial ring and shifted his attention to Demi Lich's diary.

After a few minutes, Abium finally finished reading that diary and managed to find out about this Demi Lich.

This guy named Mike was the last Death mage who appeared 500 years ago!

As for why he came to this place, it seems he was also after the Tear of phoenix. But he got severely wounded by a Cardinal of Light church beforehand and even got his Phylactery sealed by a mysterious coffin. That was the reason for his sealed state status.

Although one of his disciples managed to snatch Mike's sealed Phylactery from the Cardinal, he couldn't break that coffin seal. Without any other choice, Mike entered into the royal treasury and was thrown into this dimension by the Redbird. Thankfully, that was what that Demi Lich really was aiming for.

After Mike entered into the Fex dimension, he contacted his student, who was also a member of the Order of the Dead organization and informed about the whole situation and then waited all these years for the backup. But he didn't expect Abium's arrival, and his plan to enter the Abyssal Volcanic dungeon got ruined entirely.

'His student? Rilos?' Abium suddenly thought of the Undying Rilos and soon nodded in understanding.

Without wasting any time, Abium let out a deep sigh and stored those pages into his spatial ring. He then shifted his gaze towards the Sky-Elf's body that sealed in crystalline glass and frowned.

Yes, he saw a similar kind of face in the creeper's forest! It was that Bidora Emperor's face!

'What the hell?!' Abium almost shouted in shock as he stared at that figure with a perplexed face.

'Kid, wait! I think you can bring this crystal coffin to that creeper's forest and get favor from that lady.' Azolla's suggestion left Abium more puzzled.

"You mean?... Are you saying that naked lady is the Empress of Bidora?" Abium shouted out loud as he reached a horrific conclusion.

'Think about it, kid. Her strength must be almost par with Pseudo legendary tier mages. If not, the academy head would have already captured her and used her as a pet.' Azolla said gravely. At the same time, Abium nodded at her assumption.

Without any delay, Abium touched that crystal coffin and stored it inside his spatial ring.

Finally, he once again shifted his attention to that Tear of Phoenix and became excited. As for why that Demi Lich Mike didn't consume this Tear, Abium had some guesses.

'Maybe he couldn't be able to consume this Tear due to him being a skeleton.' Abium thought for a moment then shakes his head. It doesn't matter now. This Tear of Phoenix ended up in his hand now, and his current aim was to enter into the Abyssal Volcanic dungeon to get that undying artifact.

Abium slowly caressed the red colored Tear of Phoenix, sealed inside a cubic crystal, and then felt massive fire energy coming from it. Following that, Abium tightened his fist and broke the cubic crystal while catching the small drop of red Tear. He looked at the blood gem-like Tear and smiled while moving it towards his mouth.

'Kid, don't consume it now. I have a better solution.' Azolla's word stopped him from directly swallowing that Tear.

'What is it?' Abium asked with interest.

'Use this Tear of Phoenix when you plan on constructing your defensive fire spell. It will enchant your spell model up to ten times. It means your first tier defensive spell could block a second-tier spell.' Azolla's word caused him to stun for a while. He could clearly understand the meaning of her words. With this, he could be even able to kill second-tier mages using underhand methods.

'But I chose to construct a unique spell model in my mind, right?' Abium noticed another problem and asked Azolla.

'Yes. For the next few days, your only job is to memorize all those defensive first-tier fire spells. Meanwhile, I have some calculations to do regarding the Star Plane formula.' Azolla said slowly and soon fell into silence.

Abium, on the other hand, soon snapped out from the daze and quickly stored that Tear of Phoenix into his spatial ring. Then, he cleaned the altar room for the next two hours and started memorizing all the defensive fire spell runes.

By the end of the fourth day, he completely memorized all first-tier fire spell models in his mind. Even after understanding the meanings behind the spell models, Abium wasn't happy.

He could feel his knowledge was still insufficient to construct his defensive spell, so he chose to look at one second-tier fire spell model. But soon, his expression turned serious as he started reading those rune letters. He couldn't be able to understand the meaning of many rune letters and felt clueless.

'It seems Azolla only gave me a basic rune language book. Tsk, now I have to buy an intermediate level rune book.' Abium frowned deeply and soon noticed a sudden change happening inside his body. He could feel his spirit and mana being drained rapidly and only stopped after a minute.

'Kid, I already completed my analysis. Do you want to see?' Azolla said with an excited tone. The next instant, without waiting for Abium's reply, she sent that information through the blue screen.

[Star Formula Results:

Percentage of Laws in Fex Dimension: Fire- 17.5 %, Wind-12.5%, Earth-25％, Water- 10%, Nature-15%, Space-5%, Chaos-2.1%, and Time-12.9%.

Time flow inside the Fex dimension is seven times faster than the Easica plane. ]

Abium sucked in a cold breath as he stared at those results.

'7 times faster than Easica plane!' Abium felt his head was spinning. It was no joke. He could do many things during the time. At the same time, he also understood why those bones already aged like it had been more than a few millenniums.

'But Time law, huh?' Abium felt something was odd about this and soon dismissed that thought.

'So, kid, how many months Nicolaus and others can manage in Keris kingdom?' Azolla asked out of the blue while surprising Abium. He didn't expect Azolla would see through the worries in his heart. As he heard her words, Abium fell into deep silence. He knew this was a rare opportunity and started to ponder. He doesn't know much about Fennelis, but he knew so much about Nicolaus's character.

'Nicolaus may look like a straightforward and troublesome guy, but he is a real deal. Moreover, they are in Mage Sean's city, so I don't think anyone dares to cause trouble inside that place. Also, I won't be able to help them much with my little strength.' Abium nodded thoughtfully and spoke out loud in the altar room.

"They can manage for two months on their own."

'Oh? Then that will be more than enough for you to learn much about magic. Let's see. You have 14 months to learn everything about runes and potions. Unlike others, you also have that newly attained Quick-thinking divine spell, Seer's intuition, and eidetic memory, which would help you in many ways.

Moreover, that Rune mage Ubius also gave you some books which have intermediate level runic language knowledge. Memorize everything.' Azolla said without giving him a chance to refute.

Abium had almost forgotten about that Rune mage Ubius's gift and nodded his head. He stayed in the Fire temple for the next few months and wholly submerged himself with many books. He continuously memorized those basic level potion formulas and also managed to comprehend the meaning behind the rune words in the second tier defensive fire spells.

Following that, he started to inscribe spell models on the concrete floors and walls to practice. Although he had hundreds of empty scrolls, he didn't plan on wasting them for practices. Day by day, his inscription speed also got increased by multiple folds. He could feel these changes happened due to him continually using eidetic memory and Quick thinking spell.

If he was an ordinary mage, Abium knew it would take at least 10 to 20 years to reach this current level. By the end of the sixth month, Abium felt he could even inscribe in the thin air like Rune mage Ubius. Abium also managed to create a few first-tier spell scrolls without any difficulty and even thought of creating an artifact. But soon, he dismissed that idea.

'Creating an artifact is a time-consuming process.' Abium thought to himself.

At the same time, he also noticed the rations and water inside his spatial ring were already over.

'Haa! It's time for me to construct the defensive fire spell model.' Abium muttered to himself and slowly sat on the floor while eating the last dry wheat bread in his spatial ring. After that, he lightly tapped his spatial ring and took out the precious red-colored Tear of Phoenix.

During the last six months, he already got many ideas about his next fire spell model and finally came out up a spell which could use for both defensive and flying.

He silently closed his amber eyes, and without hesitation, he swallowed that Tear of Phoenix while activating eidetic memory and casting the 'Quick-thinking' divine spell on himself. The next moment, he felt countless red lines starting to surge out from that Tear of Phoenix.

It entered inside his sea of consciousness like a storm while sending more information about the basic nature of fire. Each line contains multiple rune words with deep meanings. Although Abium couldn't comprehend all those power hidden in those red lines, he still understood some information about fire law and became stunned.

At the same time, he entered into a strange enlightened state. He felt some mystic power was strengthening his fire affinity and became shocked to the core. At the same time, he noticed a blue icon appeared in front of his eyes and smiled.

[Increasing comprehension of Fire law: 0%→0.1%→0.2% →0.3%→0.4%→0.5%→0.6%]

Abium knew this was the time, so he immediately started to inscribe his defensive fire spell using his spirit power. He began to create a more complicated spell model inside his mind using the secrets of fire law power. He planned to create a rare spell model!

By the end of the seventh day, he ultimately finished inscribing that complicated spell model and let that spell model hover above the zero-tier defensive fire spell model.

The next instant, fire-elemental energy started to surge towards his body from every direction and sucked into his body like a tornado. Unlike last time, when Abium constructed the fireball spell model, fire-elemental energy that appeared around his body was ten times stronger. After a few minutes of continuous absorption, that raging fire finally stopped.

Slowly, Abium opened his eyes and quickly checked the new unique spell model inside his mind. A broad grin appeared on his face.

"I will name this spell as War Angel's wings!" He shouted, and the next instant, two one-meter long crimson-colored wings materialized behind his back. Unlike other wing spells, Abium felt those wings were like his own. He could even felt the air touching sensation and became delighted. He then opened both crimson wings and flapped slowly. But soon he stopped flapping as he noticed there was a ceiling up above his head and shook his head.

'Kid, using these wings, you could be even able to block a second-tier spell attack. Haha, this is the first time I had seen a person constructing a first-tier spell model using Fire law power. All those 450 rune letters are more profound, only used to construct second tier spells.

I didn't expect you would extract those words separately from different spells and combine them to create a complex spell model after you comprehend little about Fire law. I can guarantee that you wouldn't find this type of complex spell even in the most famous mages family in Arcane Empire. Due to this Tear, your fire elemental affinity also rose from High to Good.' Azolla spoke with a proud tone.

Nodding his head with a pleasant smile on his face, Abium spoke in his mind.

'Status'

The next instant, a blue screen popped up in front of his eyes.

(Author's note: Affinity levels- Low���Average→High →Good→Genius→ Prodigy→Divine.)

Abium creased his eyebrows as he saw the percentage of Fire law comprehension and soon nodded in understanding. He heard some information from Azolla before that even those third-tier mages would only able to understand 1% of fire law in their peak stage when comparing to peak legendary fire mages.

'Azolla, what are the uses of these elemental affinities except spell model building successive rates?' He got confused by the newly added column and asked.

'Foolish child, if you had Prodigy level fire affinity, you could have already comprehended all the remaining Fire law power and increased your Fire law comprehension rate to 2.2%. Now, do you understand why one needs to increase their affinity higher?' Azolla asked solemnly.

Abium was stunned for a moment as he heard her words and soon nodded his head gravely.

'Hmm, I also have to construct other spell models before leaving this dimension.' Abium thought to himself and soon walked outside of that fire temple after wearing a new black linen shirt and pants.

'It seems that defensive Sun's glare spell is already on the verge of breaking down.' Abium furrowed his brows and silently started to study the spell model that was inscribed at the entrance. It took him almost an hour to completely grasp the meaning of those rune words in Sun's glare spell model.

Following that, he cast three fireball spell instantaneously and sent those three large-sized fireballs towards the weakest area. The next instant, a raging fire clashed as his fireballs landed on the fire-like dome, which covered the temple.

Three massive explosions echoed!

At the same time, he saw a few cracks started to appear around the Sun's glare shield and smiled broadly.

'Hmm, I think I need to take things slowly.' He smiled wryly and then sat on the ground to meditate.

After meditating for an hour, he stood up and cast the same fireball spell thrice.

As his fireballs clashed against the Sun's glare spell, he noticed a small hole starting to appear. This time Abium didn't stop. Instead, he once again cast that Fireball spell thrice.

A silence filled the area, and soon loud cracks starting to appear. Abium noticed the Sun's glare spell was already reached the time limit and breathed out a sigh of relief.

Within a few minutes, the crimson shield which enclosed the whole temple completely vanished in front of his eyes. Abium once again meditated for a while to replenish his mana and spirit and then cast his 'War Angel's wings' spell on himself.

Following that, he opened his wings widely and then flapped his crimson wings with full force. The next instant, his figure shot into the sky like a bullet, and soon Abium found himself floating 200 meters up above the ground. He also understood how much strength he had to use when merely floating or moving at high speed.

After a few minutes, Abium managed to completely grasp the War Angel's wings spell and shot forward in the air towards the volcanic mountain situated just a few hundred meters up ahead.

He could tell this spell duration should be around 90 minutes, so he didn't want to waste time. He planned to cross this volcanic mountain range and move towards the forest area on the other side. Abium could tell he was flying at a speed of above 250 kilometers per hour in the sky. But he didn't dare to use the full force and cautiously flew towards the other side.

Although Abium managed to construct a powerful spell model using fire law, he knew many creatures were lurking in this dimension, which could pose a serious threat to his life. If he somehow bumps into a beast like the Three-eyed Giant Warlock, he would be in deep shit.

For the next three hours, Abium carefully flew in the sky without attracting any creature's attention and finally managed to arrive at the area where multiple strange trees were located.

Slowly, he moved towards the ground while flapping both wings to slow down the movement speed and landed smoothly on the ground near to the trees. Then, Abium dismissed those crimson spells and walked into the woods to search for food.

...
