"I guess it's really useless." But unlike what Blake believed, just the moment he opened his eyes, his sight was flooded by the deep pristine white that was very familiar and the huge door that was in front of him causing a small smile to appear on his face. "If I was able to get in, I should be able to get out, right?"
And to check his theory, he closed his eyes again trying to get away from that strange connection he felt to later realize that he was again inside the Sharance tree and repeat it to reappear in the strange room quite satisfied with his achievement and start looking around you.
"There really isn't anything else special here, the only thing different is that I can understand much better how those abilities I got here work, and based on what I've collected so far, it's all related to my elemental affinity." Blake was trying to say that the way how the "Absolute time" and "Shadowless" abilities worked were clearer in that place, making it a bit simpler to understand how they worked.
Now he had understood that the second ability he got was not as simple as becoming invisible, what was shown in the room was the entire process that was carried out to achieve it, the ability was based on covering a specific area with runes of the element time making it impossible for anyone else to see what was in that place, while the first ability, although it seemed easier to understand, there were still parts that Blake could not fully grasp making the effect of using it not be the most optimal.
"So that's why I run out of runic energy every time I use it, but no matter how hard I try I can't fully understand how Absolute time works..." Although he wanted to continue immersing himself in trying to fully understand that ability, he decided to leave it for another time when he remembered what he came to do in the first place. "I hope it works."
And noticing how his beloved inventory appeared in front of him without problems, it was enough for him to breathe a sigh of relief and take out something that he had been keeping for a long time at the same time that the voice of the system sounded in his mind.
[Do you want to learn the "Timeless Slash" runic ability?]
"It's the time!" But once Blake nodded to the system question, he noticed that no information appeared in his head explaining how to use it and he only saw that the scroll he had just opened began to float in the room as the entire place was replaced by a new view.
The boring room from before was nowhere to be seen anymore and in its place was what you could describe as infinite space, light glimmers of light were seen everywhere plus many visible symbols flying around giving too unique a view, but taking away that, what really caught Blake's attention was the figure of the person who was in the middle of that whole place and who turned at that very moment to see him.
"How long has it been? Hundreds, thousands, millions of years? It's been a long time since I stopped counting." Blake was only in charge of listening to those questions since in reality it did not seem that they were addressed to him, but the emptiness of the place. "Perhaps I was the greatest genius of my time... What am I saying? Of course I was! Nobody could compare to me, not even those damned lizards could contain me, they believed that a mere mortal could not touch the land of the gods, I still remember their faces, hahaha!"
His laughter was so loud that it seemed to cover the entire area at the same time that it was enough for those symbols floating around to start trembling in the presence of that person.
"If it hadn't been for that disgusting thing, I would most likely have dominated for several more generations, but I had to keep my promise, and from what I see, it seems that the world managed to survive that catastrophe." Blake continued silently noticing the image of that person, at first glance it could be said that it was a man, he was wearing some rather peculiar white clothes and his hair was even darker than night and long enough to end below his back, time did not seem It had taken effect on him since he still had endless youth as his green eyes continued to stare into the deep void without really paying attention to Blake. "Anyway, finally someone is worthy to take my legacy and inherit the runic ability that took me to the top of the world, it seems that a new era is coming, it's a pity that I won't be able to see it. Now, come and tell me your name..."
And the reason for the abrupt silence was that that man had finally set his eyes on the silent blond and his face quickly changed from one of total serenity to one of deep confusion as a scream came out of his mouth making the whole feeling mystical and mysterious that it transmitted disappeared completely.
"W-What, what the heck is a Runic awakening doing in this place?!" Blake realized that, again, that question was not directed at him, but he continued to listen silently as he watched the man's expressions. "This is impossible, was there a revolution in the world and now the ability that I pass my whole life creating is so simple that a mere Runic awakening can comprehend?! He's not even in the final stages, it's only in the fifth level!"
Blake just watched as that man kept saying things he couldn't understand as he paced back and forth while clutching his head in utter frustration.
"Wait, wait, maybe this is a mistake, maybe he has a divine artifact to hide his real power, or he may even be the descendant of one of those ancient clans or the new genius of an age, yes that must be it!" Noticing that nothing seemed to change, Blake thought of calling that man's attention to get him out of his crazy ideas, but it was not necessary when he felt his shoulders being taken and green eyes seemed to be analyzing his soul while some questions were going addressed to him.
