Chapter 180
After days of travel, Rhys finally made it back to the academy.The first place he went was exactly where anyone would expect.His teacher’s office.The moment Wyndia saw him, a faint smile appeared on her face.“It seems you managed to enter the library after all.”Rhys grinned and folded his arms.“Teacher, who exactly was that elder you sent me to meet?”The question caught her off guard.For a second, she looked away, as though debating whether she should answer.“That person is known for divination,” she finally said. “To put it bluntly, he’s a crazy old man. Every time he tries to look into your future, he sacrifices part of his own lifespan. That’s the price he pays to glimpse someone’s destiny.”Rhys blinked.“Wait. You’re talking about that old man?”“Who else?”“I thought he was at least a hundred years old.”Wyndia laughed.“Not even close. He’s only sixty.”“Sixty?!”Rhys stared at her in disbelief.That answer completely shattered the image he had built in his head. The m

For the next three days, Rhys devoted himself completely to training under Charlotte’s guidance.At first, Gealion stayed around out of curiosity, but it did not take long before boredom got the better of him. There were only so many hours he could spend reading and observing training drills before losing interest. After the first day, he mostly disappeared to do his own thing and rarely bothered accompanying Rhys.Anubis, on the other hand, treated the opportunity seriously.The synchronization technique fascinated him. Although he was a Divine Beast with exceptional Mana control, this was a completely unfamiliar field. He had never attempted anything similar before, which meant he had to start from the beginning like any ordinary student.For perhaps the first time since becoming Rhys’s familiar, Anubis found himself struggling to grasp a concept immediately.Still, his foundation was extraordinary.Even when he stumbled, his understanding developed at a frightening pace. By the sec

“The Twelve Heroes, huh…”Rhys lowered his gaze, quietly turning the information over in his mind.Charlotte nodded.“Yes. They were the people who spread the knowledge of Mana and the summoning ritual throughout the world.”Her voice carried a note of respect.“Before them, humanity was on the verge of extinction. They were the ones who organized the resistance against the Abyssals and taught others how to fight back.”“Their efforts bought humanity time. Their sacrifices allowed civilization to survive long enough to recover and continue the war.”She paused before adding,“Out of those twelve, there are four individuals in the current era who are widely believed to have inherited part of their legacy.”Rhys looked up.“The first is the man known as the Dragon King. He possesses the same draconian familiar that once belonged to the Draconic Hero.”“The second is the current king of the Virelith Kingdom. One of the original heroes came from Virelith, so it isn’t surprising that someo

Rhys sucked in a sharp breath.The four ancient kingdoms.One of them was the Virelith Kingdom.Just hearing that sent a chill through him. He immediately leaned forward.“What exactly did they do to earn a nickname like that?”Charlotte let out a long sigh.“You really have no idea.”She folded her arms.“It was a place beyond reason. People there respected only strength. Nothing else mattered.”Her expression darkened as she continued.“If someone didn’t like the way your boots looked, they could kill you in the middle of the street. If a stronger person wanted your house, your land, or even your family, they could take everything from you without consequences.”“There was no justice. No fairness. The strong ruled, and the weak endured whatever fate was handed to them.”“When Asura rose to power, things only became worse.”Rhys listened quietly.Charlotte’s voice remained calm, but there was unmistakable disgust behind it.“He slaughtered every enemy he had. Anyone who stood against

“There are only 346,120 books,” Charlotte answered.Rhys stared at the endless shelves stretching across the enormous library and then looked back at her.“And you’ve read all of them?”Charlotte gave him a flat look.“Of course not. Even with two hundred years, it would be difficult to read every single book here by myself. That’s especially true when new knowledge keeps appearing and older information constantly needs updating. I’ve only read around half of them.”Rhys let out a low whistle.“Almost a thousand books a year. That’s still insane, you know.”He shook his head in disbelief.“Then do you at least know the contents of all the books here?”“What do you think?” Charlotte sighed. “I don’t possess a photographic memory. Even if I could memorize every page, some information would inevitably be lost when I’m eventually integrated back into my original self.”She paused before adding,“That said, I understand the general contents of most books. If I need something specific, I si

‘Risa becoming a vampire progenitor?’Rhys stared at Charlotte in disbelief.The idea sounded absurd at first, but the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.If his blood truly possessed the ability to create a vampire progenitor, then it wasn’t just some unusual trait. It was something capable of changing the balance of power across the entire world.People would go insane for something like that.The first thing powerful organizations would think about was not friendship or cooperation. They would think about ownership.Kidnap him.Lock him up.Drain his blood.Use it to raise an army of vampire progenitors.If Charlotte’s theory was correct, countless Beast Tamers would start summoning vampires simply because the reward was too tempting. There would be a guaranteed path toward creating one of the strongest vampire existences imaginable.From a business perspective, it was ridiculous.He could probably sell a single vial of blood for a fortune.Kings would pay for
