Mystic Lock—Water of Wisdom
The Mystic Lock—Knowledge Domain was a Mystic Lock of a special nature. It did not alter the surrounding scenery, but instead eroded space with its own rules.
Standing on the Red Butterfly Road, Shade faced the arrow of light head-on, allowing the Mystic Lock to spread toward him as he stared at Legenes Presia and softly asked:
"One last time—have you ever regretted it?"
"On the path of seeking knowledge, I have never regretted anything. If you believe you can defeat me, then show me your wisdom."
The bookshelves glowed. As his wings fluttered, thousands of brass-colored gleams and pure white arrows of light shot toward Shade. The gale sweeping across the island abruptly stilled, the Black Snow drifting from the sky was swept away as though by a giant hand, and the trembling earth resonated with that arrow. At the instant the pure white arrow was released, the firelight and mist on the island almost completely vanished.
The Miracle Element carried immense spirit, piercing through space with ancient power and aiming straight for Shade's heart. Shade emerged from the golden light with a soft sigh, gripped the Night Watchman's Sword with both hands, and drove it into the Butterfly and Flower Road beneath his feet.
But this time, it was not the Heaton Seal. In his Divinity Overflow state, he could directly wield his strongest power:
"Mystic Lock—Water of Wisdom!"
From the outskirts of the Pantanal Great Swamp, he had ridden all the way through dense fog, defeated powerful foes, crossed dangerous hills, and passed through muddy forests. At last, amidst the song of a witch, he had crossed the Dark Lake with the protagonist of an epic, ascended Lake Heart Island, and stood alone atop the Lonely Lighthouse, watching over the final seal.
