"This looks interesting." He brought out the stack of paper from the storage ring that was kept in a secure place with the identity plaque that could control all the formations within the Ice Maiden Palace.
After bringing out the stack of papers, he also brought out everything else that he found useful. Some of the things that he took, included the weapons that he thought could be useful for him.
Even though he already had weapons of his own, he still took a few extra and kept them in his inventory. His own treasures were useful, but the weapons that could catch the eyes of the Ice Maiden Palace Master were not insignificant either.
He was careful to only take the ones that looked like they hadn't been used for a long time, and were slightly far from the core of the storage ring.
He didn't forget to take a few herbs, and Medicinal Pills while he was at it, before bringing his consciousness out.
He kept the ring aside, not thinking about the future problem about how he was going to place the ring back where it belonged. For now, he focused on the papers that were no less than hidden within the ring.
The stack contained papers that had already turned pale yellow, showing their age. There were fifty or so papers in the stack, tied securely with a small thread.
He created an aura knife on his finger, and sliced through the thread to free the papers and started going through them one after another.
[You have completed the selected option. Information about Trisa has been updated in the system. Please use identification to see the updated information]
[You have been rewarded. Please select the skill that you want to evolve]
The moment he finished going through the papers, his face went ghastly pale. He wasn't in any state of mind to even consider the words of the system that were suggesting him to select a skill to evolve.
His mind was overwhelmed, and he didn't even have the time to celebrate his success. The things that he had seen in the papers, had left him almost frozen in place.
He looked back at Trisa, but this time, his eyes were filled with a sense of fear like never before. He wasn't this scared of her even when he had seen her for the first time in hell.
"How is this possible?" he mumbled, gulping heavily.
In the papers, there was a method written. It was a method of devouring the life force of millions of beings, to complete a spell. And the handwriting that he saw in this paper, didn't belong to Trisa either.
It was the handwriting of Lysander, something that had struck his memories as he saw that man write something before.
This thing was written by Lysander, there was no doubt about him. Moreover, oftentimes, there were things that were crossed out from the letters, and new conjectures were made, as if Lysander was improving this method as he went by.
Initially, when Eren saw the thing about the sacrifices, he couldn't help but think that this might be an evil method that Lysander wanted to use to increase his strength. Or maybe, he had already used this method, which made him become so strong in the first place.
As he kept reading through the pages, he came to learn that the method written in these papers wasn't something that could allow a person to become stronger. Instead, the method had only one purpose.
The purpose of this method was to bring a dead person back to life. Millions of lives were sacrificed, to revive a person that had been dead for a long time.
It was said that death was the only permanent thing that even gods couldn't change, especially if a lot of time had passed since the person's death. But this method turned the impossible into possible. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Why would Lysander want to bring the dead back to life? Who could be so important to him that he would willingly dabble into such evil methods? As far as he could remember, there were only two people that Lysander actually cared about.
The first person was his daughter. Eren had already used identification on that girl. As there was not much strength difference between them, he was able to see almost everything about her in the identification.
The only people that his identification left question marks on were Lysander himself because there was a lot of level difference between him and Lysander.
There was one more person related to Lysander that he hadn't been able to see through with his identification skill. All he was able to see was the level of that person, and their name. He hadn't even seen their proper stats.
The name of that person was... Trisa. Was she the person that Lysander created this method for? Didn't it mean that she had already died once?
The woman that was lying next to him was an undead? Did Trisa know that she was an undead? Or was she also unaware of this thing? If she didn't know, then why would she have these papers with her, as it was clear that she took them from Lysander.
'Is she...' Eren gulped heavily. What was worse than being kissed by their married mother-in-law? It was being kissed by their dead mother-in-law, who was married to a person that had sacrificed millions of life forms.
His pupils trembled, as he tried to use Identification one more time on Trisa, to see if there was any change in her information now that he knew a bit more about her.
His thoughts were again turned upside down when he received the updated status screen belonging to Trisa.
