Supreme Monarch

Chapter 215: Demonic Eyes

After marveling at the might of his new wisdom skill while thinking of various methods to employ them. Tyler finally snapped out of his daze as Uriel’s voice suddenly reverberated in his mind. He wasn’t sure what kind of analysis she was talking about but as long as it didn’t affect him negatively, he wouldn’t complain.

He still hadn’t gotten used to the sensation when hearing someone’s voice directly inside his mind, especially without any warning. Receiving a communication request was easier because it gave his mind time to adapt.

However, the sudden voice he heard from Uriel— that felt like a part of him but different— was a little harder to get used to. With an inward sigh of resignation, he put that issue away for now and was about to contemplate on the matter at hand when another female voice suddenly reverberated in his mind again, startlingly him yet again.

‘Geez why am I so jumpy today.’

‘Pardon the intrusion Master, there’s currently an unexpected situation. How would you like me to handle it?’

‘…’

Tyler was momentarily at a loss for words before he finally realized who was speaking to him. It was Kali. After he had sent Jarret’s group out of the castle to retrieve the Raven settlement, he soon realized that he had ducked up and let his guard down yet again.

Subconsciously, because the situation with Mammon was over and the ones who kidnapped Liz had fled, he expected all the spies from the Brimstone family to be gone as well. 

However, that thought process had been incredibly naive and would surely cause him problems he didn’t want to handle.

Struck by this realization, he found himself pondering for hours on what he should do about the problem. He needed to regain a level of control over every situation in the Darknar region so he needed an insurance policy with Jarret’s group.

As they had already left a considerable while back, there weren’t that many people he could send after them, and narrowing his choices down to 3, he quickly settled on Kali and Flare who should be investigating the undead army. Although the word ‘settled’ may be selling them short.

As there was no longer any need for both of them to be doing the same job, he decided to call back Kali and she appeared before him almost immediately using her skill, •Shadow Movement•

After giving her a detailed description of Jarret and the carriages, he used Spatial Teleportation to send her to the Red river per Z’s calculations on the route the Raven settlement was most likely to follow.

According to him, the possibility was 98%. Such boundless confidence on his own deduction scared Tyler a little. Or maybe he was just worried on his behalf. Still, Z was an abundantly Cautious type so there was probably no reason for concerns.

Although he seemed to be under the false assumption that Tyler had planned this from the start and was using Jarret as bait to draw out any more enemies as he judged Tyler would be able to instantly teleport to the side of any of his creations.

That was an ability Tyler hadn’t even been aware of but Z was naturally right as always. Due to his soul connection with his undead creations, especially with his three shadow rouges. He could technically sense their location in space and appear next to them with a bit of spatial distortion and teleportation. 

Tyler sighed yet again at his own thoughts, as he asked Kali what she was talking about and she gave him an oddly detailed report of what had transpired after she caught up with the group. 

Apparently, a group of predatory beastmen and a dragonkin with a very weak divine aura had attacked the carriages unprovoked as they attempted to kill Jin, forcing her to intervene. While Tyler was surprised she could sense divine auras, he didn’t dwell on that for long.

Being attacked was something he didn’t want to tolerate but this was the demon continent. It would be unnatural for anyone to just pass by any groups in an uncontrolled region as this without any type of altercations happening.

Moreover, it didn’t seem like Jarret’s group was strong enough to take them out even with Kali’s help so he needed to find another way out of this. Coming to a quick decision as time was of the essence, he told her to inform Jarret of something.

From what the group said, their aim in this region was to see him, as he wasn’t sure what their reasoning was, he asked Jarret to dismiss them if they didn’t give him any suitable explanation. How he went about it was left to him and if things went out of hand, his last resort would be to sacrifice his remaining time in the library in order to teach some idiots a lesson. Still, that was something he rather not do.

It didn’t take long for Kali to report back with the entire story which seemed a little interesting. To gain an insight into all the abilities of the seven great behemoths would surely come in handy in the future. Someone like that would also know a lot more information than even Z had provided him.

However, the problem was he didn’t have what she wanted. He had gifted Mammon’s soul to the Dark Garuda after assimilating enough to evolve his skill. 

Anyway, he would see if she would accept a compromise, otherwise, there would be nothing for him to offer them, but that didn’t matter much as he planned to get some information out of them for the time they’ve cost him today.

With that, he instructed Kali to just monitor them closely and ended their talks. The moment the conversation with her ended, Tyler immediately heard Uriel’s voice.

{Several soul connections detected, would you like Uriel to manage all soul connections in the future while notifying master whenever there is a communication request?}

“Umm? Sure, that would help.”

‘Is it just me, or does she sound a little jealous for some reason.’

{It is impossible for an artificial intelligence like Uriel to get jealous.}

“Oh, you read my thoughts again. And why are you suddenly speaking in the third person.”

{The castle’s connection with the Void library is reaching an end, the estimated time left is 7 hours 11 minutes, and 59 seconds. Please be prepared to exit the Library.}

“That’s a random topic change but seriously?!”

Hearing how long he could spend in the library till he would be forced out, Tyler panicked a little. 

With her new connection to his soul, it seems she could accurately read his surface thoughts and respond accordingly without him needing to ask but that may be more trouble than it’s worth seeing as she had ignored his questions.

With no time to waste, Tyler quickly push the issue with the Wisdom skill and Kali to the back of his mind as he moved around in an attempt to learn more skills.

According to Uriel, the Void Library contained more than 200 million items but only 2,770,021 spell books which most of which were low-level spells that were practically useless but were all collected by the demon king and his minions just for the sake of collecting.

There were even original spells that were created by him and his minions, as well as the ones extracted from the souls of the prisoners he captured.

There were 617,490 skill books and tomes but only 701 Magic artifacts. The rest were magic scrolls, potions, and pills. As well as research books on almost every known and unknown aspect of magic and magic fundamentals.

Tyler vividly remembered the first time he was in this library, he had studied the basics from those materials before he even learned his first spell.

Thinking back, he had seen several books on Necromancy and Negative energy so there was a high chance the method to rid himself of the negative corruption that affected him would be found there so Tyler made a mental note that he would do more research on it if he had the time.

Moving around through the vast section for skills, Tyler picked out the skills that interested him, and after he started to feel like he was just wasting more time walking around. He decided to just learn the ones in had on hand for now. 

During the process of selecting his preferred skills, Tyler was shocked to see a certain skill that he had thought to be his original skill as he had created the skill himself and hadn’t expected to find it here. The •Demon’s Might• skill was something he had learned while messing around with the formula for magic sense while adding elements of other skills and spells so he had thought it was a unique skill until Nadine had gained it from him. 

However, it would seem the skill was far from unique as it was part of a series called, Demonic Eyes. Its actual name was Might Demonic eyes but obviously, the name he had given it sounds way better and cooler.

There were also several more skills in this series and Tyler took interest in them. They all had different levels of strength and usefulness but all of them seems powerful.

Wanting to take a look at the list to see which ones he would like to learn, Uriel projected a holographic screen in front of him which had startled him a bit but he soon composed himself and pretended nothing happened.

♦️♦️♦️

Among the list, the skills that stood out the most were True Death Demonic eyes and Destruction Demonic eyes. They were absurdly powerful skills that could cause massive damages and True death was an instant death skill that prevents resurrection and reincarnation.

It could even kill spiritual entities and non-immortal celestials. Destruction was similar as it could destroy any and everything including conceptual entities. At a higher level, it could even destroy conceptual immortality and entities with Spatial Awareness to prevent their death as long as they were aware of their identity. However, the eyes could Destroy the very idea of their identity itself. 

However, Tyler didn’t have the time to learn either one of these skills as he needed to be more versatile at the moment. At most, he could learn a few Normal Tier skills of the series and one Advance Tier, depending on how complex the formula was to him. 

With that in mind, he began memorizing the Domination demonic eyes formula for his one Advance skill for this series, and the Hypnotic and curse demonic eyes. He didn’t try too hard to activate them as a way to save more time. As long as he could accurately remember the formulas in their right order, he should be able to do that later on.

This would not have been possible without learning the Magic Prodigy skill first. He had to thank Uriel later for her suggestion. 

Keeping up his current pace, he memorized ten other skills and even managed to activate one he was very compatible with. That skill was Gravity Manipulation, an Advanced Tier skill that had similar properties to Spatial Manipulation. It was quite a useful skill to have.

Other skills he learned include, Thought communication which was a basic tier skill and had higher forms namely, Mind communication and Soul Link that had vast differences between their strength and range.

He had spent more than Six hours memorizing or learning all 13 skills and was almost out of time. Not wanting to wait till the last minute, Tyler asked Uriel to move him to where he could find some Tier five spells so he could store them in his storage space before moving on to where the magic artifacts were.

However—

{Warning! Warning! Master cannot remove magic books out of the Library as they are made from the Library’s essence itself and are also its source of power. Please return the missing book.}

“Oh, wow… You’ve got to be kidding me right?”
