The Moon Thief

Chapter 145: Chopped the Head of the Beast

Although Heinald used Akreem's Eye Stone, this snake's attack was really that fierce.

Even though Hellfire Nightmare Snake's fire element had 30% less effect, it still managed to inflict that much damage!

"Ornament of Death! Ax form!" Heinald cried out in his mind.

When the flamboyant Battle Ax appeared in his hand, he quickly started running towards the giant snake.

Light Flow!

Lightning bolts appeared around Heinald's body and surrounded him. He began to feel his body as light as a feather. He didn't immediately use the three-time dash that his Light Flow spell gave him.

Hellfire Nightmare Snake hissed angrily when it saw Heinald leaping towards him, and its scales began to look like hot iron again.

The immediate surroundings of the giant snake were surrounded by a radiance of fire reaching thousands of degrees. Everything, including the floor in that area, was black as coal from the intense heat.

The radiance of fire around the giant snake gathered in a line and began to stretch towards Heinald.

Heinald immediately prepared to use damage absorption, one of the properties of his magical treasure called the Ornament of Death.

He lowered the ax in his hand towards the line and faced it directly. As the ax head interacted with the unbelievably hot line of fire radiance, waves and rays of flame began to scatter around.

Since the power of this fire glow streak was too much, the ax began to drain his Dark Energy.

"Hua!" When Heinald felt that the ax could not absorb any more, he used one of the dash opportunities given by his magic called Light Flow and reached near the deep wound on the body of the giant snake.

Heinald sent Dark Energy into the ax and surrounded it with black fire. Then, with all his might, he thrust the ax into the open wound.

*Hisss!* The giant snake hissed painfully.

Heinald didn't stop, and after pulling the ax out of the open wound, he leaped towards the gigantic snake's head and stabbed it into its head.

Hellfire Nighmare Snake shook its head wildly, causing him to fly tens of meters back.

Heinald used his last remaining dash to gain rapid acceleration, leaping forward about ten meters, and with the acceleration he caught, he threw his ax towards the giant snake's eye with all his might.

At that time, the huge snake was also preparing to make a move towards him.

Heinald's ax advanced at a speed that could pierce even the air, and entered the giant snake's eye, exiting the back of its head.

*Hissss!* The huge snake fell to the ground and after struggling for half a minute, it stopped moving completely.

For days, Heinald spent days removing the scales of the giant snake and storing its blood. Finally, he cut off the giant snake's head and stored it inside his dimensional ring. Since he had finished his mission in the valley, he did not linger there any longer and returned to the entrance of the valley.

At the entrance of the valley, Revakender and Orinath were waiting for him.

Orinath's injuries seemed to have largely healed, but the stress he felt around Revakender seemed to have exhausted him.

Heinald would take him with him to Ruthas Academy. Of course, he would not be considered a member of the Ruthas Academy, but Heinald would be allowed to stay with him. Besides, there would be no permission to enter or trade anywhere there.

When Heinald returned to the academy, he handed in the task and earned 7000 Achievement Points. He had quite a few Achievement Points along with the Achievement Points he had previously obtained. Besides, he made a Blood Agreement with Orinath and officially accepted him as his apprentice.

Before leaving the academy for two other assignments, Heinald wanted to try his luck at the library and went to see the Ruthas Academy's Library Director.

"Greetings!" As soon as Heinald entered the great library building, he greeted the old man sitting behind a large desk. This old man was also a Level 2 Ainsar.

"Greetings! How can I help you?"

"I want to access the high-level books of the library." Heinald said.

The old man nodded and asked, "Books on what subject?"

"Preferably about 'Spirit'." Heinald replied.

"Do you know our procedure?" The old man asked.

"What do you mean?" Heinald asked.

"You have the chance to see at most one of the books with high-level information in our library every day. The higher the Tier of the book on the topic you have chosen, the more Achievement Points you will have to pay. If you make any copy attempts, you will be immediately executed by the formation." The old man paused and continued, "The book of your request will be brought to the room reserved for you."

Heinald didn't expect the rules here to be so strict, he asked, "How many tiers are there?"

"There are 4 Tiers in total." The old man answered.

After talking to the library director for a while, Heinald asked for lists of Tier 3 books containing high-level information about the Spirit. Reading each of these books for an hour would cost him ten thousand Achievement Points. He was quite dispirited as he couldn't use the advantages of his eyes in this library.

After reviewing the lists and summaries given to him, He chose a book called "Soul Problems of the Primal Periods".

He was taken to a private room and the book was given to him for an hour. If the formation inside the room caught him doing any copying, he would be killed instantly. He quickly turned the pages of the book and recorded all the information in his memory. Of course, the formation did not have the ability to perceive this.

After Heinald left after an hour, he immediately went home and, after analyzing the information in the book, learned several ways to get rid of the stain in his sea of consciousness. Of these ways, the one that seemed most suitable to him was to make a "Phemeus Mixture".

The Phemeus Mixture consisted of only three ingredients, but he could guess that these materials were quite rare because even he had never heard of them, despite his vast sea of knowledge.

Heinald inquired whether these materials were available at the academy. Unfortunately, even the academy's vast resource warehouses did not have these materials. He decided to send a letter to his old master, Albin, asking him about these materials.

After he wrote the letter, he sent it to his master with a messenger.

The days began to pass quickly.

Heinald bought potion ingredients with his current Achievement Points and started brewing potions, while also giving Orinath next to him various details and information that would be of use to him. He had added conditions to the Blood Deal he made with him that he would not share the formulas and techniques he learned from him with any person or organization.

Their first impression of Orinath was that his talent was really not bad, he was a careful person and learned quickly.

He knew that the stain on the sea of consciousness was getting bigger and bigger. The unexplained fluctuations in Magical Energy, especially in the last few days, and the occasional confusion in his mind were the biggest indicators of this.

Heinald received a response about two months after sending the letter to his master. His master knew what these three materials were. The first of these materials was the Ice Hand Crown. Ice Hand Petal used to grow on the high plains of the Evrel Region, but these flowers were hard to come by on the incredibly large plain.

The second material was the Eye of the Obrous Cheetah. This type of cheetah was usually seen in the Bellios Forest close to the Risingmoon Kingdom. According to his master, the strength of these cheetahs exceeded that of a Level 1 Ainsar.

The third ingredient was 500g of Hercules Boar Blood. Hercules Boar was a very strong Magical Beast, although his attacks were quite slow due to his large size, his durability was at an extraordinary level.

Heinald would brew potions for a period of time and sell them to potion shops in various cities. He would also look for these materials, if he was lucky and find them, he would buy them immediately. If not, he would go on a long journey and try to obtain these materials himself.

As his first priority was to prevent the taint of the sea of consciousness, he would wait for his assignments from the academy for now. If he successfully got rid of the taint in the sea of consciousness, he would complete the missions he received from the academy, and with the points he obtained, he would receive pieces of the highest level research in the academy.

The most important pieces of research he wanted to receive were those related to Protective Type Magical Treasures and Magic Combination. In fact, these two studies were the ones that would give him the information he wanted for a long time, and that's why he decided to join this academy.
