Rebirth of Abium

But Abium saw curiousness in the tree's emerald eyes!

As if Azolla had already aware of thoughts in Abium's mind, she said with a chuckle,

'Kid, this tree will go through a lot of transformations in the future. Although I don't know about these dungeons' functions, I'm pretty sure it will grow into something monstrous one day using all the knowledge you gave it earlier.'

Abium got amazed and then nodded his head in understanding. After that, he turned his head towards that tree and asked,

"Do you understand my words?"

That tree gave a curious look at Abium and blinked its eyes. Abium let out a relieved sigh and began to speak,

"I gave you all this information in exchange for this Azure bluish stone, so now I don't owe you anything."

'I have a feeling this tree is going to bring a great change.' Abium muttered inwardly and then disappeared from there. A second later, his figure appeared one kilometer away from the abandoned mansion. After checking there was no one nearby, he took out that azure bluish stone and asked,

'Azolla, did you found out anything about this stone?'

Azolla deliberated for a second and answered,

'Kid, if I hadn't checked your blood in the Star tower, I would have thought of you as Myxenta's son. As for this strange stone, I think this stone must be the 'Stone of Wisdom.' I heard once that the holder of this stone could able to understand hidden knowledge. For example, you would have an easy time understanding the secrets of Law or Chaos powers using this stone. Imprint the stone with your spiritual power; I will take care of the rest.' Abium's eyes widened as he heard her words.

'As I had thought, Count Henricus did found this stone in the past and rose to power. Moreover, the reason he found that abandoned mansion must be due to that Golden ring's help. Hmm, he did tell the truth to the public in the past about owning a knowledge artifact.' Abium let out a deep sigh and imprinted his spiritual power on the 'Stone of Wisdom.'

A second later, Abium saw that the blue gem began to turn illusionary and disappeared inside his body while startling him deeply!

'Kid, do you want to bind this stone to your soul like my core?' Suddenly, Azolla asked him.

Abium got stunned by her words and nodded after a short pause. The next second, a blue screen popped out in front of his eyes.

[Sending the 'Stone of Wisdom' to your Sea of Consciousness...Binding it with your soul…1%...5%...12%...25%...50%...70%...89%...97%...100%. Binding completed!

Some changes occurred in the Sea of Consciousness!

With the help of Wisdom Divine Power, the memory clouds in your 'Sea of Consciousness' has been arranged in order.

You now can view all of your memories, including the blocked ones!

The Stone of Wisdom function is available from now on!

You will be able to comprehend the Law or Chaos powers more easily using this function.]

An explosion appeared in his 'Sea of Consciousness.' Abium stopped his footsteps and entered his Sea of Consciousness.

Abium, in his conscious form, saw a raging storm happening inside his 'Sea of Consciousness' and became amazed.

Countless white clouds in the form of memories began to arrange in an orderly manner. The storm lasted for a whole minute and then calmed down.

Abium felt a drastic changed in his mind.

All of his memories appeared in his mind one by one. He hovered above those white clouds and studied those memories slowly. He skimmed through those memories and soon glanced at a group of particular memory clouds in his 'Sea of Consciousness.'

It was his childhood memory clouds!

Abium saw a beautiful woman's oval face in one of those memory clouds and widened his eyes. She had long blonde hair, thin eyebrows, tiny pointy ears, and azure eyes. She wore a white lace, black pencil skirt, and high-heel shoes.

'She is my mother!' He felt an uncontrollable joy when seeing her appearance!

He also scanned those memory clouds and got much information about his family.

'I'm from the Aube mage family. My father's name is Luke, and my mom's name is Thea. I have an elder brother and an elder sister. They are…? Hmm, their names are not mentioned anywhere in these memory clouds.' Abium paused for a second and soon frowned.

'All these memory clouds are hazy. It must be due to a long time.' He nodded and then shifted his gaze towards his 'Sea of Consciousness.'

'I didn't expect such a gift. I can feel that my mind became clearer.' He muttered inwardly and then withdrew his consciousness from his 'Sea of Consciousness.'

He glanced at the blue screen and furrowed his brows.

'Blocked memories, huh. Those hazy memories must be those blocked memories.' He mumbled to himself.

Abium checked the new function once again and nodded his head pleasantly. He then turned his gaze towards the direction where the Royal Family's and Light Church's group went and grinned.

'It's time for me to play as a Holy Knight.' Abium muttered slowly and then took out an emerald pendant from his ring. It was the cursed pendant that he gave to Rilos during the Fex Dimension mission. A few days ago, when Abium met Rilos, he asked him if he had any soul slaving artifact to read memories of the enemy. But to his surprise, Rilos took out this pendant and gave it to him without any hesitation.

'Well, he seems to be getting on good sides with me because of my Red Angel title.' Abium chortled inside.

Shaking his head, Abium began to walk ahead and soon disappeared into the woods.

...

A few hours later,

At the other side of the Fourth layer,

A total of twenty tents laid near a strange conical-shaped lake, and five first-tier mages and five holy knights stood outside the camp guarding.

Meanwhile, two silver-armored knights were sleeping inside a tent which laid the farther end of Bishop's and Mage Sean's camp. Suddenly, one of the silver armored Holy Knights named Jordan woke up due to a sudden nightmare and stood up.

'Damn it! This dungeon mission is making me more anxious. Oh Holy Lord of Light, protect me from those evil nightmares and monsters outside.' He muttered to himself and turned his attention to another companion who was snorting loudly.

"Also, save me from his loud snorting!" He said out loud and then sighed heavily.

After that, he silently walked out of his tent and tapped his spatial ring. He soon grinned as he saw ten bottles of strange red gels, six purple fruits, and fifty long pointy brown leaves.

'Haa! I already gathered three types of potion materials, but I need to gather more if I want to save more money.' He muttered to himself and quietly sneaked outside of the camping area.

Soon, he walked out of the camping area and began to search for potion materials while holding a first-tier spell scroll in his hand. He knew the dangers inside this dungeon and began to search cautiously in the nearby woods.

Suddenly, he saw a humanoid figure walking towards his direction and soon recognized that face. The next moment, confusion appeared on his face.

"What are you doing here, merchant mage?" He asked warily.

A chuckle came out from Abium's words, and then he replied with a wicked smile on his face.

"Well, I came here to borrow your body."

Hearing Abium's words, Jordon felt chills all over his body and instantly unsheathed his long sword.

"You- You lied to me!" He roared and sprinted towards Abium with cold eyes.

Abium yawned lazily and spoke calmly,

"Mind Freeze."

The next moment, Jordon felt confused. He couldn't be able to think correctly and stood there inside the woods like a fool.

Meanwhile, Abium casually took out the emerald cursed pendant and enslaved his soul without any trouble.

Two hours later, a black-haired knight in silver armor sneaked into the Light church camp and soon arrived in front of the 17th tent. He had light blue eyes, a square face, and appeared to be around twenty years old.

Without alerting anyone, he quietly walked inside the tent and saw a blonde-haired Holy Knight. Meanwhile, the blonde-haired Holy Knight was staring back at him curiously while lying on the straw mat.

"What are you doing at this time, Jordan?" That knight, who was around the same age as him, asked with a frown on his face.

"It's a secret mission, Tyrion." Abium, in Jordan's appearance, said jokingly and laid on his bed.

"Blah...blah... I'm already tired of your weird excuses." Tyrion said while shaking his head and went back to his sleep.

...

A few days later,

At the entrance of the Dark God temple, in the fifth layer.

A group of silver-armored Holy Knights and multiple gray and black-robed mages stood at the entrance with a grim look on their faces. Bishop Piers, Mage Sean, and other Bishop Piers' disciples stood in front of the temple's entrance gate with puzzlement on their faces.

"It appears those Demons haven't arrived here yet." Mage Sean said with a frown. He could see the large Temple entrance gate was still tightly shut from outside.

"Those evil demons must be plotting something." Piers said coldly and quickly shifted his attention towards the black entrance gate.

"Evil Sense," Piers muttered in a cold tone. A second later, a flash of bright light appeared from his palm and spread in every direction.

The next moment, he curled his lips up and smiled. He then looked at one of the holy knights who stood behind him and said coldly.

"Found you!"

Without delay, he pointed his finger at that holy knight and muttered in a weird language.

"Sword of Judgement!"

The next instant, a blinding ray of pure white light appeared in front of his finger and directly flew towards that Holy Knight. Before others could understand the situation, the ray of light sword directly stabbed onto the knight's chest and burned him alive in white flame. Abium, who now stood in disguise, almost got panicked.

'Damn it! He has the abyssal aura in his body.' He muttered gravely and soon calmed down.

'Thank goodness. If Bishop had used Enemy search instead of evil sense, I would be the one who got pierced by that ray of light.' Abium began to feel sweaty all over as he stared at those poisonous eyes. Meanwhile, Bishop Piers turned his head towards Sean and ordered coldly,

"Mage Sean, three more evil demons are hiding in your group. Take care of them."

"Haha, Honorable Bishop of Light, please don't order me around like others. I'm not your Lord's servant. As for those killing those three, I don't think that is possible. All three of them are academic mages, and killing them is like breaking the rules of the academy." Without even minding those glares from holy knights and other priests, Sean said calmly.

Hearing those words, Piers got disappointed and said with a sigh while pointing his finger towards those three mages' direction.

"Then I have to purify their soul on my own."

His words caused every mage to tense up. Even Sean frowned upon hearing Bishop Piers's arrogant words and took out a one-meter tall wooden staff from his spatial ring.

A fist-sized red crystal embedded in it and gave off heat waves everywhere.

Seeing this, Piers got stunned as he looked at that strange staff and retracted his finger.

'He has an Expert level staff! It must have one or two third-tier spell model engraved in it.' Piers thought and then moved his pointed his finger towards the metal gate.

"Holy Light's Wrath!"

The next moment, the golden light of a spear appeared in front of him and soon turned into millions of light particles. After that, all those golden light particles moved towards like a ghostly wind and completely covered that metal gate. The golden light replaced the black metal gate and began to destroy it. Within a few seconds, everyone heard a strange creaking noise.

Bang!

The gate exploded into dust and revealed a beautiful dome-shaped tower-like temple at the center.
