Chapter 30 Art Of Creation
Art Of Creation
When Christopher completed the book, he felt as if he'd entered a new world of knowledge.
He knew that the knowledge regarding runes was extensive, but this book showed him just how broad it was.
"Runes are avenues that lead to creation. Runes represent everything because they are everything. From the biggest mountain to the smallest atom, Runes are everywhere and are in everything. Without them, there would be nothing." He mumbled one of the quotes from the book.
Then, as if he'd just shattered some sort of barrier, his vision suddenly changed and he blinked a few times. And when his vision regained clarity, he was surprised to see that all around him, there were symbols.
"No, not symbols, Runes." The realisation hit him like a truck, and he felt a wave of euphoria at the realisation. It was as if understanding the true nature of Runes had removed a veil from his eyes, and now, he could see far beyond what he could perceive before.
He could see the makeup of the world.
He decided to leave the Library and went to a random location within his dimension. When he reappeared, he looked around with wonder
"So this is the Runic Insight the book spoke about huh?" He muttered as he saw the countless symbols floating around him. Each rune held a different colour and shape and Christopher assumed they represented the different elements and aspects of reality around him.
Curiously, he grabbed at a rune that was colourless. And when he did, he found that he could suddenly sense the gravity around him.
It was strange but also interesting. He then thought for a bit before imposing his will on the rune, and a moment later, he felt the gravity around him suddenly become much stronger, though he was unaffected.
"Woah." He marveled and played around with the rune a bit more. Depending on how he imposed his will, he could reverse gravity, strengthen it, or make it go in another direction.
However, he noticed that there was a limit to how much he could do with a single rune alone, so he willed more Runes to himself and was unsurprised but impressed when the degree at which he was manipulating gravity increased several fold.
Then he got a little curious and wondered, could he destroy a rune? And if he did, what would happen?
So he looked at the rune in his hand, and after a moment's hesitation, he squeezed his hand shut around it.
It felt like he had just popped a bubble, and at first, nothing happened, but then he realised that he had become weightless.
To his amazement, gravity within a certain radius around him had vanished and he started to float. Then he got a little bit worried about shattering the rune and if it would have any long lasting effects, but to his relief, the rune returned a moment later and gravity was restored.
The flames... disappeared.
"No, that's not right. I can still feel them." He frowned as he could still feel his Mana being drained. He looked closely before he finally realised what happened.
To his bewilderment, the flames... became colourless. As if they had lost all light, the flames were transparent, but were still visible if one looked closely.
Christopher marveled. He'd never heard of colourless flames before, and he was very curious as to what they could do. How hot were they?
However
[The System Advises Master against using the flames within his dimension.] Christopher paused and quickly regained his senses.
"Right, I probably shouldn't be damaging this place." Christopher thought for a moment before asking.
"By the way, how hot are these flames anyway?" As usual, the system answered immediately.
[9,500,000 degrees Celsius.] Christopher blinked.
"Come again?"
[Nine and a half million Degrees Celsius.] The system answered again, for some reason putting its answer in written form in front of his face.
Christopher stood there for a while, his expression frozen.
After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing like a madman. He laughed so hard his sides hurt, and after a while, he calmed down.
"So I can now create flames hotter than the surface of entire stars because of some runes now huh? Good, very good." He clapped lightly and sighed.
He was happy, and rightfully so. Besides the flames themselves, Christopher realised that since he could now see and interact with runes and also manipulate them. And since magic was simply the unconscious use of runes to manipulate the runes, then if an enemy threw an attack at him, he could just dispel the runes in their attack and render it Null.
And there was also the fact that he could do with other elements the thing he did with his flames and condense more runes into an element to give it stupendous effects. And lastly, runes make up the world, and since he could manipulate them, didn't he, by extension, have the ability to create?
"If I don't get arrogant very soon then something is wrong with me." He laughed some more. He just couldn't help but feel pity for whoever was going to fight him in the near future, because this just wasn't fair.
