Grimoire of the Devourer

"Contract?" Elizabeth muttered when she saw the Notification, It seems that the Grimoire is now officially owned by her. But there was something that was bothering her, She didn't feel anything. It is just like your normal book that could be seen in the Library. Elizabeth who was staring at the book thought about the problem.

'Maybe it will take a lot of time before something happen?' Elizabeth thought to herself, This was the only thing that she can think of. With this in mind, Elizabeth then just waited in her current position which was right next to the Chest. A while later another notification was finally heard.

[Grimoire of the Devourer has chosen the current User as its owner.]

[Searching for Elements.....]

"I was right." Elizabeth was surprised that she managed to guess it, She would be disappointed if the Grimoire was nothing special especially with its name. The Name of the Grimoire was the same as the skill that helped her during her time in the Primordial World.

Elizabeth waited for the next Notification, She was expecting a lot in this notification. Especially when she wanted to know what kind of Element she got in her body. Is it something that is like Merlin which is Space Element or like Arthur which is a Quad Elements?

A while later, The Notification that Elizabeth was waiting for was finally heard or seen. She then proceeds to look at it and furrowed her brows, The notification she found was something she didn't expect. It had a lot of things that she thought of but there was something that was bothering her.

[Element has been detected.]

[Element has been found.]

[Current Element: VOID.]

'This is a confusing Element.' Elizabeth thought when she saw the Element she has, She had only one element. She didn't know how many Elements Merlin has but she knew the one Element that Merlin always used, This was the Space Element and it was easy to understand due to the fact that she wasn't the first one to have this Element.

"I am the first one that has this Element." These were the words that were bothering Elizabeth, Unlike most of the elements which had thousands of books to study and evolve it to your own. She was sure that she was the first one that had this kind of Element

The Grimoire that Elizabeth is currently holding was changing something, Elizabeth clearly felt it. She then looks around and stares at her Grimoire, She felt the change in the grimoire and looks at it. She was finding the change that happened and then she quickly notices the thing that changed in the Grimoire.

"The Stone or Crystal which is originally White is now Deep Dark Purple." Elizabeth muttered, It seems that her element was now affecting her Grimoire. This is probably a piece of good news since the Grimoire accepted the weird elements.

"I have to make my own skills so that I could effectively use my Elements, But I have to make my Elements a secret so that no one would try to bother me." Elizabeth sighed, She could see herself getting experimented on due to the new Element. The Word called Void has been in this world since the creation but the Element called Void has never been found.

"But what is a void, Is it nothingness? Void of nothing? A weird power that could erase everything?" Elizabeth had a lot of questions about her elements, How to use this Element is something she would try to discover after leaving this place. But before Elizabeth could leave the library she heard another Notification.

[Power Absorption has been Unlocked.]

[Power Absorption: The Ability to Absorb anything that is called Powers, Elemental Powers, Physical Powers, Mental Powers, Special Powers, And Abilities can also be called Powers.]

[Be warned that anything that is absorbed by the Ability won't be returned back to the one that is absorbed.]

[User cannot Absorp an Ability that User's Body can't handle, Enemies or Creatures more powerful than her by over 5x, Or Enemies that has stronger wills than normal.]

[If the Enemy is strong willed, The only thing User can do is torture or break the mind of the Enemy so that the User can take or absorb the power.]

[If the Enemy is Strong in powers than the User, The only choice User can take is Torture which is also notified before this message.]

"Wow." Only one word went out of Elizabeth's mouth, Reading the notification made her shocked. She wasn't even surprised at the ability but she was surprised at the Notification itself, It is giving her advice about the current ability. Is this something new? Did something happen when she was not looking?

"Anyway, This is a good Explanation." Elizabeth nodded at herself, It was a good explanation since she didn't need to plan about how to use the Ability. This Power Absorption Ability can take anything that can be considered power but what is power?

'Anything that has Influence or Control, Something that is above the Average. Or to be able to. There are a lot of meanings Power can give to me but these meanings lead to one thing. Power is something that can affect the environment around you, the power to change something in a natural or artificial way.'

Elizabeth was thinking about the Power Absorption ability, She also found out its limit. The First Limit was her own Body, The Second is the Power of her opponents or anything she wanted to absorb it must not be 5x more powerful than her, The Third one is the strong will of a person.

If the enemy is stronger than her but she can still beat the enemy that doesn't mean she can take their power or absorb it. If she is 3x more powerful than an Enemy then she could forcefully absorb their powers. If the two of them have the same power then she would need to break the will of the enemy in order to take their power.

"It is time for me to leave." Elizabeth spoke and look around the area, How will she go out of this library. She already has what she came for and then while thinking about this Elizabeth notice a noise coming from behind her. This was the door that brought her here, This means that she was now allowed to get out of this Library.

She then looks at the door in front of her and slowly entered it, She was now leaving the massive library and after leaving the place she would train her abilities. She had a lot of things to train after going back to the Mansion, The Weapon arts, The Art of Order, Her Current Abilities, And Her New Element.

Inside the Hallway of the Grimoire Library, Most of the Magic Kriegers here were doing their own things. The Door that Elizabeth entered slowly revealed itself, The Door slowly opens and the Magic Krieger saw Elizabeth exiting it. Merlin and Arthur quickly notice her and then heard towards Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth have you pick your own Grimoire?" Merlin asked Elizabeth, Elizabeth who heard her nodded. Merlin seeing Elizabeth satisfied didn't question her but that doesn't mean no one would question Elizabeth, There was one that would question her. And this was Arthur who was right beside Merlin.

"Elizabeth, What type of grimoire did you pick?" Arthur asked about the Type of Grimoire Elizabeth had, He wanted to end his paranoia involving his Junior Elizabeth. Elizabeth who heard him was confused, When was she told that there were many types of grimoires? She thought that she was supposed to choose something that she felt perfect for her.

"What do you mean?" Elizabeth tilted her head, She was curious about what Arthur said about the type of Grimoire she had. She just picked something she felt comfortable with or specifically the Grimoire was calling for her. Arthur seeing her acting like that just sighed and shut up.

The Magic Krieger around her was talking to each other, there was now a rumor about Elizabeth's Grimoire. This would quickly blow up due to the fact that she was a student of Merlin, Merlin who notice the crowd talking about her own student finally spoke to Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth, How about we go home." Merlin said with a gentle smile, Hearing her the Crowd quickly broke off and continued their own business. Arthur who heard what his respectable teacher said just sighed and decided to not bother his junior about it.

"Elizabeth, What did you get?" Merlin asked with a grin, Elizabeth who heard her knew that she had to give her some news about her Grimoire and Elements. So Elizabeth did what she did the best, Elizabeth just smiles towards Merlin and gave a thumbs up.

Seeing her student acting like that, Merlin just chuckled and the trio then heads back to the portal which leads towards the Big Cathedral they entered. After arriving at the Big Cathedral, they then began using the car and went back to the Mansion.

————————————————————

Meanwhile in the Empire was a lot of shocking news, These News also focus on the fact that the Legendary Magic Krieger Merlin had another student. The Other or what ordinary people see was the Great Admiral Merlin having another student which is also shocking for them.

In someplace that was also near the capital, In the Direction of the south. The Opposite Direction of Merlinls Mansion was another mansion. This Mansion was also owned by another Legendary Magic Krieger, The Public Image of this Magic Krieger is the Head of the Imperial Guard in the Empire.

They are like the elite military that would serve the Emperor itself, This Army is very strong that it even contains a lot of Magic Krieger in it. Many divisions of the Military have their own Magic Kriger but they are very small in numbers, There was one Military that only had Magic Krieger and this was the Krieger Division.

"My Lord, Merlin has taken a second student." A maid kneeled in front of a man, This man was the head of the Imperial Guard, And a Legendary Krieger. The man who was in office had a face that was full of interest on him, it seems that his colleague has taken a second student.

"Merlin has taken a second student, This is surprising indeed." The Man with golden hair and golden eyes spoke with a voice that was full of interest. He didn't even have a student, And his colleague already taken a second student.

'Is she very lucky or something?' The Man thought, His colleague was apparently good at taking student left and right. The main concern was the fact that every student that came from her is above average or ultra-talented like her current first student which is Arthur.

"Do you have the name of this Second Student of hers?" The Man asked the Maid, The Maid hearing his question didn't speak and took out a lot of papers. The man seeing the papers was shocked and the Maid who brought the papers then spoke to him.

"The Report is here my Lord, Some of these reports are for the Imperial Guards." The Maid said with a calm voice, She really just put more reports than necessary and put the reports of the Imperial Guard in it. The Man sighed and began reading the report that was given by the Maid.

"Elizabeth An'cient, A former Slave that was bought by Merlin, Had killed two men before taking a bullet in point-blank range. And This girl was known to have attack Merlin in their meeting but lost due to the wound brought by the Bullet." The Man was surprised at the second student of Merlin.

'This girl might even be more powerful than the first student.' The Man thought about Elizabeth, Why is Merlin this lucky? He didn't even have a student and isn't having two students not allowed. Does Merlin think that she is above the law?

"Investigate the Girl, Dig for new a information about her."

"Understood." The maid said before she left the office.

"I haven't met a perfect Student, Even though I'm one of the Legendary Magic Krieger in the Empire which is name Gilgamesh. I still don't have a student, It is time for me to choose one." Gilgamesh began talking to himself while staring at the Report that had the Picture of Elizabeth. It seems that Elizabeth was the perfect Student for him, It is time to use the law of no Second student allowed.
