What was written in the ascended copy magic page of my grimoire could change the world upside down. My ascended copy magic can copy any magic or skill and the copied skill or magic automatically upgrades into ascended rank. But that's not all, you see this ascended copy magic can also copy other's stats. This feature was also there in advanced copy magic but this time the copied stat is multiplied by 10. But you can't copy from the same person again once you have copied their stats.
First I wanted to copy all the magic I have and upgrade all the magic I have into ascended rank. The same goes for the skills I had. So I can copy any stats from others just by seeing them use the respective stat. For example, I can copy the strength stat if I saw someone punch. Copy durability stat either by looking at their physique or watching them get hit. Stamina stat when I see someone get tired etc.,
Now that all my magics are ascended rank I wanted to copy this time chamber. It might seem useless at first as the only uses are you not ageing and only able to spend all your time in an empty room. It might come in handy someday who knows. Finally, I am curious about one thing which is the unicorn statue.
Autolycus said that there is a different statue in every room so there has to be some meaning to it. I didn't have any other ideas so I just tried touching it. A light came out of its eyes and some weird letters were written in that light. I used my ascended linguistics skill and I was still unable to understand it. I wondered if I needed ultimate linguistics skills to read what was written in it.
I wanted to use ascended copy magic to copy what was in the statue but I suddenly had a different thought. I need to copy magic that is 2 levels higher than my magic to upgrade my magic so what if this is ultimate magic? I couldn't resist my greed so I used ascended synthesis magic to split the ascended copy magics into 2 advanced copy magics. I used advanced copy magic to copy what was in the statue.
I copied ancient Star magic. My advanced copy magic upgraded to ascended magic. I copied the ancient star magic again from my grimoire and upgraded my other advanced copy magic into ascended copy magic. I then combined two of the ascended copy magics and unlocked the ancient copy magic. Even Autolycus didn't know there was a magic stage between ultimate rank and ascended rank.
I feel cheated as I wished for a stage to be there just a moment ago and now that I discovered that there is a stage in between them after when I needed it. Alright, what's done is done. So I upgraded my ascended linguistics skill into ancient linguistics skill. I tried reading the words again and this time it was possible to read what was written.
This Unicorn was one of the 20 Ancient spirits that used to exist. All the ancient spirits thought they rule the world but the spirit king defeated them all and sealed them here and erased them from history. This unicorn is a sealed ancient spirit which uses ancient star magic. The seal can only be removed by a human who is worthy. Now it makes perfect sense. So this is why the spirit king proposed that he will select 5 candidates from each kingdom and let them participate in the competition. Now I wonder how to break this seal.
