Two days after they entered, and with a lot of effort, the group managed to find their way to the second floor.

*ROAR*

"The guard on the first floor is a minotaur, he is not a bit ironic" Meiko.

After reaching their destination, they noticed a huge 5-meter-tall human-shaped creature with the head of a bull was in the room that had the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Behind the Minotaur was a huge treasure chest.

Those presents had read the myth of the minotaur and since he was the guard of a labyrinth, it seemed ironic to them that he was the strongest monster on the first floor that was a labyrinth.

"The minotaur is a magical beast in the first mystical rank, it shouldn't be that difficult to take down" Meiko.

"Wait let me try something" Chris.

These days they encountered various magical beasts, but since they were all at the early levels of the holy realm, they were not a problem with traps being the only thing one should pay attention to.

*Roar*

When the minotaur saw Chris, his eyes turned red and like a maddened beast he went to attack the group.

Even though they were both on the same level, Chris's time perception had already sped up and he only saw the minotaur as a child running in slow motion.

Without a second thought, Caliburn had appeared in Chris's left hand as he grabbed it by the scabbard.

With his right hand, Chris grabbed the hilt and two auras began to flow into the sword, one was a mixture of black and white as if it were ash gray, and the other was golden.

The gray one was the aura of the king of knights that was the most compatible with Caliburn, while the golden one was that of the immortal god.

The cable king's aura was still very weak so Chris had to supplement it with another.

*SLASH*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…."

When the minotaur was a step away from Chris, he had already fallen to the ground cut in half.

While Chris was still in the same position the only difference being that Caliburm was a bit out of his pod.

(Still not enough) Caliburn.

(Tell me what you think our chances of winning are) Chris.

(If we talk about the state that katana is already very weak, but if it falls into the hands of a powerful person and is fed with blood, it will recover quickly, if I covered myself with the power of nothing, I would have a 70% victory rate) Caliburn.

(Then you have to look for better countermeasures) Chris.

After Chris obtained the Evil Katana, he had kept it sealed, but he noted that after taking it out of that temple and sealing them with a barrier made of the power of nihility (nothing).

Chris could feel how the power of that weapon was gradually increasing, recovering.

Chris didn't know what state that katana was sealed in, but according to Caliburm, Carnwennan, and Rhongomyniad, it was so weakened that he can only use 1% of its power when he fights it in the dojo, so it's likely that it was in a state even more miserable when it was sealed.

Seeing how the cuts of that sword tore through space was surprising enough, but what Chris couldn't forget was that sword art that used that single sword slash, not only cut space but all the laws that governed it, leaving a void. not existential.

Only Chris who had the power of nihility (nothing) should be able to do that, but that katana was also able to pull it off easily.

Chris examined it several times, but the Katana did not have the power of nihility (nothing) in it.

And it is for this reason that Caliburn despite his pride, let Chris easily use his power to the best of his ability so that Chris will adapt more to the sword, even to kill such low-level monsters.

Chris thought that if he used the Caliburn Release skill he could outclass the Katana.

After all the ability to condense energy and release it as pure power than pure destructive, although Caliburn stats alone was lower than Excalibur, but they share the same ability.

"What is the reward" Meiko.

After picking up the corpse of the minotaur they checked the treasure chest.

"What's this"

Inside was a small crystal the size of a palm, but other than that there was nothing else, leaving the gigantic chest empty.

The surprise was such for the group that they even thought that someone was ahead of them and stole the treasure.

"Fragment of Wisdom" Solin.

(Which was what she said, that really is a piece of wisdom) Carnwennan.

(Do you know what it is?) Chris.

(If that is the knowledge of all existence, the wisdom that was crystallized) Carnwennan.

(Isn't the knowledge stored inside this crystal just a data storage unit?) Chris asked about what the crystal was.

(No, the shard of wisdom is a consumable item, just like the mystic god crystal that can be smelted to upgrade into a weapon or artifact, the shard of wisdom is the essence of Akashic records, it can enhance some document, for example, an ancient level cultivation technique if the shard of wisdom is used could become an Eternal or even God rank technique) Carnwennan.

What a tricky item, Chris thought, the reason he gave Meiko a deity rank technique was because she couldn't change it once she entered the ancient realm, but that little crystal could enhance techniques, if that's what they are. things and a cultivation technique are improved, an ancient kingdom that practices an ancient technique and improves itself, that person's powers will grow tremendously plus they won't have to dispel their cultivation to change techniques to a stronger one.

(It's not as good as you think, even if it's used in a document whether it improves or not depends on the information you want to improve with the snippet, otherwise it's a big deal the improvement will be a failure, a crap technique would always be a technique crap, the shard can't create something from scratch, instead it improves and rebuilds things from its base) Carnwennan.

(I expected that, but how can I get the most out of this thing?) Chris wasn't surprised, nothing was that perfect.

In the past Chris met a scholar, who was looking for mysterious low-level techniques and abilities to fix his mistakes and rebuild the inefficient parts, although these improved by a degree or two, that was his limit, making more changes to them would only lead to him declining in performance.

(I don't know that, he puts several scrolls around him and tries to find out with god's eyes, maybe you can find out something) Carnwennan.

Taking Carnwennan advice, Chris placed scrolls of various cultivation techniques, magic spells, blacksmithing techniques, alchemy, engineering, and so on, but he didn't react to any of the scrolls.

"What are you trying to do?" Morgan asked unable to comprehend Chris's actions.

When Morgan got close for a brief moment the fragment reacted to an object in Morgan's dimensional storage.

It would be impossible to see into other people's dimensional warehouse, but with god's eyes it was.

Without worrying too much about things, Chris put away all the documents he had taken out and explained the use of the shard of wisdom and how it reacted to something Morgan had.

"You mean this" Morgan.

Morgan had a black scroll in his hands.

"Where did you find it?" Chris asked, seeing the scroll with such unknown energy.

"From the temple, the tests adapt to people, my first reward was this technique, but since it was weaker than the one left by the ancestor, I never practiced it" Morgan.

The technique was called dark sorcery, the concept was good, but there were so many shortcomings and flaws that it barely managed to classify as a Myth (Mystic) rank technique.

The technique was designed for a woman and was based on the concepts of chaos as her source of power, despite the fact that darkness, death and destruction originate from chaos, these attributes are very volatile, should one make even the slightest mistake, either one of the magics that the chaos is based on or using them through the abilities of a technique could end up crippling in the process.

but if the shard of wisdom was interested, it might have something of value.

"Hey what are you doing" Morgan.

Morgan tried to stop Chris when he saw that he was going to use the shard of wisdom, after all he didn't think that technique had any value.

"Don't worry, I already thought about it, I think it's better to do it since there is nothing else to test it with" Chris.

Morgan was reluctant, let alone thought Chris considered things, but she knew she couldn't stop him once he made up his mind.

Sonia and Solin as researchers could understand the value of the article, but she also knew that risk is not win so they also supported Chris' decision.

The fragment of wisdom decomposed and mixed with the scroll, little by little the content began to change.

Contrary to what Carnwennan said, the changes she underwent were not simply an improvement on the basics, but a total rebuild.

Reviewing it a second time, Chris couldn't believe it was the same technique, they were still a female-only technique, but the previous imbalance of chaos attributes didn't exist, instead it combined them perfectly, the skills it offered had changed, the transformation also changed and finally the refinement of the body allowed to form the divine physique of chaos, but it was not a normal one but one suitable for a woman.

Due to the brutality of the attributes of chaos it was difficult for a woman to be suitable with this power, unless she was a special race or was already born with a suitable compatibility.

An example of this would be the Valkyries who have an affinity for death or the Amazons who possess an absurdly strong physique.

When Solin and Sonia reviewed the technique, their thoughts were the same, it was absurd.

Although only Morgan was suitable to practice the technique, Chaos was something that was hardly known about even in the upper worlds, the chaos information had disappeared it was as if someone had deliberately erased it, the only thing that was known about chaos, it was that it was the phenomenon that gave rise to all things.
