章 18: Memories
I remember the story that the red dragon Eclipse was defeated by the first Duke and fell into a deep sleep... So he was sleeping here?
Raimon didn't know much about Eclipse. Legends and myths in the family rarely mentioned him.
They didn't care much about a dragon that had long since disappeared into the annals of history.
Currently, active dragons were more worrisome and disturbing.
The glass wall was gleaming, without a speck of dust on its surface. But it was not cleaned every day by a maid. The spotlessness was due to the mana surrounding the coffin.
Raimon touched the manna with one hand, and immediately a shiver ran through him. As he swallowed saliva, Raimon took another step forward.
"That was an interesting sight."
Raimon couldn't learn anything from Eclipse. If he was an awakened and active dragon, things would have been different. But Eclipse was a dragon hibernating inside a glass wall so Raimon was more interested in finding the secret tomes.
"This place is bigger than I thought."
The subway chamber seemed larger than the central hall of the Castle of the Bloods. However, it felt empty, as no decorations were adorning the place. Raimon began to quickly search for the tomes.
Creak...
He pushed open the sliding door and located the library. It was too shabby to be called a library. The Secret "Library" contained only a bookshelf and a few chairs. However, it was more than enough space to house the secret tomes.
There could only be a certain number of books written by the other martial families around the world. The library would not need any more shelves.
"The tomes!"
On the 2-meter, wide bookshelf were dusty and tidy books. These books had been written and used by different martial families from all over the world, and they were trying to protect them with their lives at stake.
They were the essence of many martial families that only knights could read.
Raimon calmed his trembling heart and began to check the names of each of the books on the shelf.
"The close combat techniques of the Sun, and Moon family, the spear techniques of the Ying and Ling family, the swordsmanship of the Magno family, etc. .... There are many."
Raimon also found some books about the Kaminary family, the swordsman family that had attacked Blood Castle some 200 years ago. Raimon's hands trembled slightly as he went through the tomes one by one.
His excitement was overflowing.
In his first life, he had always wanted to become a knight and warrior, and coming here to read the secret tomes was very helpful. Now that he was finally here, memories of his hardships and despair during the trials when he was a year old flashed through his mind.
The moment he fell asleep he entered a hell-like space and appeared in the physical form he had in his previous world when he was 29 years old, something that was very useful during the tests I had to endure.
For the first test, the will was tested by walking for days in a hot desert, only passing by holding on to the feeling of not wanting to disappear when god or heaven had given a new opportunity to give the best of himself.
In the second test, the intelligence was tested by arriving at a blank space where a blurred figure imparted knowledge about the power levels of this world.
That test taught me how to use the spiritual power that resides in the Flower bloodline. All humans descended from the first warriors can wield natural power and be spiritualists. However, some bloodlines are stronger than others as the beasts their ancestors ate during the first war were very powerful.
Causes many families to lose the way to awaken the natural power in their blood by only taking advantage of their physical characteristics. This is one of the reasons why knights, warriors, and spear masters were born.
During the third trial, many memories were imparted of the former Dukes who at the end of their lives did not reach the god realm and decided to end their lives.
"When I heard that news I was very frightened as I could not understand how those existences in the Semi-God rank preferred to end their lives instead of enjoying the power they already had."
There is only one chance in life to reach the rank of God in this world, and the moment it fails you can never try again.
"After digesting this information I understood that the decision made by all the Dukes in the family was because the only thing they were pursuing was the continuity of the family and reaching the highest realm of strength."
"Coming to the last test my physical form began to be destroyed and for a moment I thought I had failed and was about to give up. However, when it dawned on me I returned to my newborn form."
"Then I understood that apart from all the knowledge I gained during the tests my soul finished its last transformation adapting completely to the new body."
At the moment the transformation was finished the most powerful being that any person can imagine in his life appeared.
Sitting on a golden throne was a middle-aged man about three meters tall with a naked torso and a red sword on his legs, ruby red hair, eyes, and a dignified look.
He introduced himself as Belenus God of the Sun and Swords.
"When he saw my age he was a bit surprised."
"After we introduced ourselves I noticed that he never saw the changes in my soul because he treated me like a little boy all the time."
Many things were discussed at that time.
He told how he made a blood contract with the ancestor of the Flower family over a thousand years ago because the world at that time was in chaos.
Many dangerous beasts attacked the Empires and Kingdoms of all races on the continent.
He had tried to make a contract with many people before but never succeeded in the end. Only when he met the ancestor of the family could the contract be made smoothly.
"This happened because my family's blood contains the power of ancient God. However, the price paid by our ancestors back then was that all his descendants would have a hard time overcoming the limits of a Semi-God since the family bloodline has the power of two very powerful Gods."
However, Raimon did not care about such small details.
Using any method at his disposal was part of his way of life.
"After giving me a lot of information I don't remember I went into a coma and when I woke up the tests were over."
****
"Which one should I start with?"
He had nowhere to choose.
Raimon wondered if his brothers felt this way when they secretly read porn books when their babysitters were away. Raimon chuckled as he skimmed through the books in front of him.
He didn't have much time to stay down here.
