I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 126 Void: Mindscape

Fein began to unroll the scroll. Slowly, the old paper rolled down to the ground. They saw runic languages written using black ink.

"Sofia do you know what language is this?" Fein frowned.

It would be a huge problem if we can't even understand the content.

Even with his vast amount of knowledge of his memory palace, Fein didn't find anything related or similar to the runic language written in the scroll.

Sofia knitted her eyebrows, as she tried hard to recall something. But after pondering for a while, she shook her head. "No, I don't know anything like that. I'm not bragging but our library is already one of the most known to contain the complete languages of over 900 countries. Although I don't remember all of them. I'm at least sure that there's no runic language recorded from any book on it. Furthermore, language that used runic as the foundation was only used by the ancients."

"Hmm... That is to say, this language might be the one used by the Civilization of the Underground's Temple." Fein scratched his chin. "Well, this is a big problem"

Fein sighed, they finally got their reward, but he didn't expect that they won't be able to use it that easily. He started to examine the sheepskin carefully, not letting any small details slip on his eyes. He hoped to find a breakthrough that would help them to understand the contents. After all, the owner of the Inheritance won't possibly leave a dead-end like this right?

As his eyes kept scanning the whole paper, he saw a gray dot on the corners arranged in a triangle pattern with a pupil design in the center.

Is this it? Fein's eye lit up, he stretched his index finger forward intending to touch the grey dot. As his hand brushed the strange logo, the brown paper of the scroll began to rot in a rapid manner.

Fein panicked after seeing this. "What is happening!?"

"Let it go!" Sofia yelled at him.

Hearing Sofia, Fein instinctively retracted his hand, and the sheepskin continued to rot, as the brown paper turned into black. Finally, the sheepskin scroll became a black ball of light that rushed towards Fein's head.

Seeing this, Fein recalled how the Main Characters in the novel he had read receive knowledge directly from their head. He knew that it was probably similar to that, but he find it unacceptable for a foreign object to enter his brain just like that. No matter what, even if he doesn't get the knowledge, he won't allow anything to access his head. After all, it was too risky. Because who knew if there's no entity or hidden effect that would affect his mind? The black light got nearer to him when Fein touched his scabbard intending to resist or destroy the black light. Just like that, a red light flashed leaving burning flames on its path. The red light came towards the trajectory of the opposing black light, but the black light just passed through it. But Fein noticed an enormous black mist coming out of the black light before disappearing. Fein was curious but he doesn't have the time to think too much about the current situation.

Shing!

The red light formed a 400 meters rift in the sand, the combined burning effect of Dragon Abyssal Blade and Sun Burning damage of the Scabbard of Pride scorched the entire area, as everything the flame touched would turn into ashes without exception. The whole Desert began to tremble, as Fein's attack damage had been multiplied by 8x through the bonuses of his equipment. Even SS-ranks would be injured if they received it without strong defensive equipment.

"Damn it!" Fein cursed as he saw the black light come towards him unobstructed. He braced himself as he knew that it would be inevitable after seeing how it passed through his attack.

This is the means of an Ancient Civilization. And Fein was well aware of it. Suddenly the surroundings darkened, As Fein only saw Sofia appearing in front of him trying to block the black light for his sake. "Sofia what are you doing!?" Fein raised his voice, He tried to push her as he didn't want to suffer her for him. But it was too late, as the black light arrived, Sofia closed her eyes immediately. But she didn't feel any strange sensations at all. Aoi screeched worriedly seeing her master's sudden action.

Fein on the other saw the black light change direction avoiding Sofia with ease. Fein sighed in relief at this moment.

Well, it can't be helped then... Fein let out a self-deprecating smile.

Just like that, the black light entered his brain. He felt a splitting headache as if a huge harmer pummeled his brain. A huge amount of information appeared that overwhelmed him. His vision blacked out after.

"Fein!" Sofia's worried voice is the last thing he heard.

...

A bright sphere made of white light stood out in the void. It would look at the surrounding with curiosity from time to time.

Fein looked at his current state, he has no feet, and no hands at the current moment. But he felt strangely calm in this place. He only managed to find out that he became a ball of light.

Where am I? Why do I exist in this form? Is this my soul? Or was I on the so-called mindscape? Fein was fairly knowledgeable when it comes to this as a man of culture.

In this place, he doesn't feel anything, he can't feel, he can't smell, he can't hear, and he can't taste. The four senses became useless, the only thing he can use currently is his vision. Even then, only darkness exists. He doesn't know how many years have passed, but he felt that it was already a million.

As time passed, his bright soul grew fainter, as it can't resist the wearing of time. Fein's thought process became weaker as his concept of self became empty.

When the ball of light was about to become extinguished, a purple mist covered it. Nourishing Fein's soul in the process, the sphere of light brightened, and Fein's consciousness woke up,
