Opening the doors to a catastrophe

-Chapter 132: Opening the doors to a catastrophe-

 "Is there a way to be recognized by the grimoire?"

 Har doesn't really know, even though his intelligence increased to the middle B-rank gates and he has photographic memory of his entire past life, it's still impossible for him to know this, after all, he can't remember something he hasn't seen.

 That's right, although he watched all the anime at the time, it had been on hiatus for so long that he completely forgot about it, he didn't find out if it was ever picked up by the animation studio, so his knowledge about this story is cut off and there is many things you don't know.

 What happens when the owner of a grimoire is killed, this is one of those things, but apparently the grimoire will not be lost, it is not known if it is an exception due to the book being outside the original world or something like that But this can only be seen as a good thing.

 "At the moment, I can only consult this with the best source of information I have available."

 To get a detailed description of this grimoire, Har entered it directly into the store leaving all the details up to the tower, then put it up for auction and set the starting price at 100,000 Tp.

 As he said before, the tower can provide the exact description of any item you sell, as long as you let it do this work for you obviously, so this function has become a reliable source of information.

 Regarding why he put the grimoire up for auction, that is due to the time that this function has, regardless of the maximum price or if no one is bidding anymore, he determined that the item will go to the highest bid after one day, in addition, he can withdraw the item at any time, perhaps this is another hidden benefit of advancing your Trader level.

 'The emergency service is already acting.'

 Before taking a look at the description in the book, Har could hear the noisy patrol cars approaching in the distance, it should be a police response to calls from people who saw him here.

 Although there are no mobile phones here yet, people already have an old phone at home and were able to call the emergency service.

 'This is not a good time for them to come and bother.'

 Har didn't want to interact with these cops or whatever, it would just be a waste of time, maybe if he chose to be a villain he could get side quest points by killing cops or such, but he doesn't really care.

 So he entered the soul state and continued his business, his gaze returned to the holographic screen of the shop and he read the description of the grimoire.

 [-Grimoire of Four Ojas-[Currently up for auction]

 -World of origin: Black Clover-

 -Description: Magic book specialized in Wind element, allows your chosen one to store magic spells that he has learned, developed or trained to a certain extent to increase their effectiveness.

 This is a high-quality Grimoire, the limits of its effectiveness and future development are unknown, only your chosen one will be able to discover it.]

 [Starting Price: 100,000] [Current Bid: 100,010]

 'Isn't this description a bit exaggerated?'

 Har had a suspicious look when he finished reading, it seemed as if the tower was trying to convince the others to buy this, as if he was trying to say that it was something so good that no one would regret buying it.

 But thinking about it this way, that really may be the case, if he can be chosen by this grimoire it will be like having one more griffin to release his mana comparable to an ocean.

 Casting a spell without limits with his mana is amazing, no matter how small or insignificant it is, it should still be considered a danger if used massively.

 And that's not all, as the description indicates, this book allows you to store spells, which is just as crazy as getting new skills for free in droves, plus, the mana becomes much more versatile.

 But there is a problem, Har doesn't have affinity to any elements even though he has mana, this is because he is being limited by the tower and forced to get abilities to use his Mp.

 On one hand, this means that his Mp is restricted inside his body and couldn't be released without an ability that requires it, and on the other hand, he means that he can use his Mp on any item at all times. that he has the ability.

 Although he's broken the shackles of the first restriction a bit, this because he can control his Mp more freely by gaining the power of the dragon contained in tears, he still can't cast multi-element skills like mages would in the stories of fancy.

 This power that he obtained only allows him to use his mana and convert it into energy from the End, so the chains that imprison freedom at the time of using his mana are still there, only by using his mana to manifest any natural element could he be considered a true magician completely versatile.

 In a way, the existence of the concept of these chains makes sense, one could even say that it is because of this that the world remains stable to this day.

 Since runners must get the necessary skills to use their Mp, it should be impossible for S-rank or that kind of existence with overwhelming power to do what they want, they are forced to follow the rules of the tower and get skills if they want to release his mana.

 Back on topic, not having an affinity for an element will only make what was already considered impossible more difficult, that is, being chosen by this grimoire, it is your magical affinity that determines the most suitable grimoire for you, after all, it would be too much unreasonable for a Wind Attribute Grimoire to choose an Earth Attribute Mage.

 But there is a key point regarding this, what if someone doesn't have any magical attributes? Is there someone in the original story who answers this question, in fact, that person has a grimoire despite having no mana.

 The protagonist, Asta, could never use magic because his mana level was always 0, because of this it would be strange that he could be chosen by some grimoire, regardless of the natural element, it would be useless for someone like him.

 However, not only was he chosen by a grimoire, but he was chosen by one with a 5-leaf clover, isn't that completely against logic?

 The explanation is simple, the common grimoires are of natural elements, water, fire, wind, earth and their variants, like ice, magma and things like that.

 But there are also grimoires for those whose mana can influence other concepts, such as light, space, dreams, darkness and even time.

 The grimoire that chose the protagonist turned out to be one of those, one capable of storing anti-magic swords, that is, swords capable of nullifying mana in its entirety, only someone without mana could be chosen by this grimoire, otherwise it would just be a charge, any mage's mana would be consumed by swords and having magic power would become a nightmare.

 With this explanation, Har took a guess going the opposite of the protagonist, since his mana is pure and without affinity to any element, capable of being used to manifest any magic as long as it has the ability, doesn't that mean that it is compatible with any magic? grimoire?

 Even he was surprised to think of this, if that's the case, does that mean he can handle even time as long as it's accepted by a grimoire? prevent you from using your mana freely, it can only be said that it is your greatest benefit to obtain a pure mana without attribute or affinity.

 As the origin of this thought, this would be similar to and contrary to Asta's path, he could only fit into one grimoire, but Har would be able to fit into any grimoire regardless of the element or concept.

 But obviously this is just a theory for now, Har still has to find a way to be chosen by the grimoire to check if what he thought is correct.

 ...

 Returning to the scene, the emergency services had already arrived, both policemen and ambulances and firefighters, after not seeing anything strange for a while, the firefighters began to evacuate the citizens, the policemen accompanied them and covered their backs and shoulders. paramedics checked if anyone was injured.

 "Boss, see this!"

 Inside the house with a hole in the front wall, a policewoman called out to the man she appears to be in charge of, the woman was thoroughly inspecting a body on the ground.

 "What's happening?"

 The policeman in charge entered the house curiously, his eyes of him looking at every corner of the house, he had already noticed that this was the only anomaly in the whole place.

 Behind him came a couple of firefighters accompanied by paramedics, this house was the next one they were going to evacuate, however, everyone was surprised to see the body on the ground.

 "Proceed with caution."

 The policeman in charge gave an order to the firefighters and paramedics, looked at a couple of policemen, who had been investigating the first floor beforehand, and they nodded in understanding, held up their weapons, and led the others to the second floor.

 They had to evacuate the people inside the house, as for why they are evacuating the place, even several blocks around, that's because of an order from the higher ups, but even the policeman in charge doesn't know what's going on.

 He received the news that an evil being had appeared in this place, he did not believe it at first, but the calls kept coming to the station and in the end he had his doubts, upon reporting this, the high command seemed to go crazy and asked that he be sent all patrols immediately available, this shocked him, since when did those bosses get so gullible?

 But since they gave the order, he had no choice but to follow his words and send everyone to this place, even they were forced to evacuate all the surroundings, it's almost like they planned to wage war in this place.

 "What's wrong, is this the demon they were talking about on the calls?"

 The policeman asked taking a look at the body, but he immediately denied this idea, not only because he did not believe in these things, but because this person seemed to have been a Catholic believer, with a white robe and a golden cross engraved in its center, also From his superstar-level appearance and the silver cross on his ear, this person should have been someone influential.

 "It's not that, boss."

 The policewoman shook her head and pointed to the wounds on the corpse's chest, she seemed experienced at this as she said:

 "He was stabbed three times, in the left chest, in the center of the chest and in his right chest, the distance between the stab wounds is so similar that I would venture to say that he was measured before committing the act, besides…"

 The woman said and seemed focused on her words, she crouched down and stepped behind a table that supported her upper body before continuing:

 "The wounds on his back confirm that the stab wounds went through him…"

 She said giving a suspicious look as she remained crouched under the table, she was looking closely at the corpse without even giving importance to the fact that this person is dead, she seemed like a child at this moment.

 "Ah, yes...I think I'd figure that out at a glance."

 The policeman in charge of her looked at her with blank eyes, he didn't expect her to start talking such obvious things.

 "But boss, isn't it strange?"-The woman continued as she left the table with her shoes and knees stained with blood.

 "What is strange?" asked the boss with doubts, while they were talking, the group that went up to the second floor earlier finally returned, they surrounded the father and mother who were carrying a couple of children of about 8 years old and a teenager, The parents covered the eyes of the little ones and a couple of paramedics got in the way of the teenager's vision, she could only see the bloody footprints on the ground.

 She doesn't know why, but her body seemed to go limp seeing this, as if she had some fear of blood, but she was immediately held by the paramedics and taken to the ambulance.

 "Didn't we come here for a demon? Everything about this is strange, I think the demon and this man fought, that would explain the stab wounds in his chest."-The woman continued without paying too much attention to the family that was passing by. they.

 "And what makes you think that a demon was responsible for those stab wounds?"-The chief asked astonished, he increasingly doubted this woman's intentions, if she were a demon, wouldn't she use dark magic or something like that?

 However, the policewoman seemed to have studied a lot and she had an idea in her mind.

 "Don't you know, boss, people said they saw the demon king of the underworld, according to some legends, either the tail or the weapon of the demon king have something in common in many legends or movies, their three-headed shape like a trident."-The woman said as if this were a divine revelation, however, the policeman in charge had a wonderful expression of revelation, but for something more.

 "Amanda, you... should stop going to the movies for a while."-The boss said surprised to find this kind of habits that mix reality and fiction in someone he didn't expect.

 Maybe it's because they were concentrating on evacuating and protecting the civilians, but the policemen didn't discover anything strange, two trash cans that shook from time to time, the two runners inside didn't have time to escape and are still hiding inside. from the garbage, if we could see them we would notice their gloomy and discouraged expressions, the smell in there began to be unbearable.

 …

 'Is it really impossible?'

 Standing on a house, Har had taken out the grimoire regardless of the offers that the runners had made, he was trying to be chosen by this book, but it seemed impossible.

 No matter how hard he tried, the grimoire didn't react in the slightest, if he hadn't read the description of the tower he would even think that this is an ordinary book.

 This made him think for a second that maybe he couldn't be chosen by the book, but obviously that Silver Master could have done it, this book should belong to Yuno, he was able to obtain it somehow and even be chosen, is there something special about him? ,what is the difference?

 "I'll ask my brothers about this later."

 Har just sighed and put the grimoire back in his inventory, he plans to ask his brothers about the unknown floor of the Black Clover world, maybe it's a floor they've visited before, if that's the case, maybe they know some method to be chosen by the grimoire that can only be obtained there or something.

 As for selling this book, he won't do it even if he can't use it, no matter how much they bid for it, if someone gets it and is able to develop it to a certain point... then he might become dangerous, so he doesn't plan to let This in the hands of a stranger.

 He's seen it from the family before, whether it's that vampire or the bastards from the Jubileus family, all of these have shown him that the biggest dangers aren't in the tower, but in the real world.

 After the world changed, some humans have lost their morals and become beasts inside, full of greed and a mad lust for power, even being able to lose their humanity completely and become a vampire like that. guy.

 He doesn't know if it was the world that really changed, maybe they are only seeing the true attitudes of the human being, if everything continues like this, the theory that humans would destroy the world could be true.

 Faced with these kinds of people with an irrational desire, Har thought for a while if he should continue to sell weapons or items in the store, maybe one day he would be stabbed by a sword he sold himself.

 "This is not the time to think about that, I still have to keep getting stronger."

 Har forgot about this, he took a look in the distance, where people were being evacuated for some reason, and remembered the thought from a few minutes ago.

 "Which dimension will the Nether portal link to?"

 Har was curious, from what he has seen so far this world only has the plot of the movie, there are no other heroes and no other villains besides the main one, so what if he creates a Nether portal, in the original plot no there is such a thing as hell or secondary dimensions, so the portal will be useless?

 This is something that would be of great benefit to know, in future floors this information can play an important role when creating a new side as an adventurer, also, discovering new dimensions is something that considerably increases your final evaluation, especially when it is the first to find them.

 Thinking of this, Har opened his inventory and selected a Shulker chest in the lower left corner, this entire storage line is full of shulker chests prepared for different situations, this one is full of items for the creation of portals.

 Placing the chest in front of him, it functioned just like a Shulker and opened half horizontally upon use, immediately a new holographic inventory screen appeared, the upper slots have enough obsidian to build a small island with no problem, also, the chests lighters fill the lower spaces, being enough to light hundreds of portals without any problem.

 This is the benefit of having an inventory, Har has filled everything with Shulker chests putting one inventory inside the other thus increasing their capacity hundreds of times.

 "Let's see then, will the tower fill these kinds of gaps again?"

 Har said this and took the obsidian out to one of his main storage spaces, this is where he carries the trident and basic first aid items, such as immortality totems, regeneration potions, and golden apples.

 Regarding his words, Har had already noticed it in previous floors, the tower has filled some gaps that runners can find in the floors, such as the Shinigami king in Death Note who did not demonstrate his power in the original story, but still he was forced to appear during his stay on the second floor.

 Something similar happens with the first floor, now that the monsters have become real and some have some intelligence there are a lot of bugs that the tower needs to fix, so there are things that have never been seen before, like those dragon tears and those new potions you got.

 While Har was building the square obsidian gate, he thought that maybe the tower is going to correct this void and create dimension, it sounds incredible and something that should be impossible, but this tower has proven to have no limits in what it is capable of.

 Thinking about this, Har did not feel afraid and only wanted to build the portal more, if it links to another dimension that was non-existent in the original plot it will only confirm his idea, also, he believes that he is in a position to even defeat the Shinigami king.

 With the infinite power of the End Crystal and its regeneration, the immortality totems and all the abilities it possesses, shouldn't it be possible to conquer even Hell? in demon king or something.

 By this time, a square-shaped obsidian gate had already been built, Har held a lighter in his hand and clicked on the gate.

 WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!*

 "..?!!"

 Har's indifferent expression that hid anticipation from him disappeared as soon as the portal was ignited, it succeeded and an energy circulated within the obsidian square, however, a terrifying bloody magical energy immediately invaded him.

 'What the…what the hell is this magical energy?'

 He had never felt such a terrifying energy before, even though the source is unknown, Har immediately determined that the danger level of this energy trace alone is comparable to the power contained in a higher B-rank runner, or maybe even an A rank.

 Wooo~*

 While Har was still thinking, not even 5 seconds had passed since the creation of the portal, but the ghostly sound began to be heard indicating that someone was coming.

 "...?"

 Har looked at this with blank eyes, he created the portal to go to hell, but actually someone came to him, what kind of existence would come out of this place? diamonds appeared in his hand and smashed the portal immediately.

 The energy stopped circulating and the link was broken, thus making it impossible for the energy on the other side to continue flowing through the portal.

 "What was that energy?"

 Har was confused and a little fear towards that dimension was born inside him, even in this form with infinite power, he could feel pressured by an energy that escaped from the other side, when whatever it was had not set foot outside yet from the portal, what kind of power would that thing have going out into this dimension?

 Although his idea seemed to be true, Har didn't have time to think about it now, he was still a little worried inside for an unknown reason, as if the worst was yet to come, but Har tried to convince himself that it's impossible. No one came out on the other side, so there's nothing to worry about.

 Har doesn't know, but the moment the portal linked to that unknown dimension, an extremely strange pair opened somewhere, as if a terrifying existence had been fast asleep in a forgotten place, but was awakened by feeling the appearance of this square thing in your territory.

 As the portal let out a ghostly sound, something immediately escaped breaking through space and forcing the teleportation portal, even before Har reacted and breached the portal, that existence already had a pair of eyes in this world.

 "Uh!"

 About ten meters from Har, a cry of pain was heard strangely from a garbage dump, one of the runners who had been hiding felt as if his head was struck by lightning, the next second, his eyes rolled back and he fell. in a coma not knowing what just happened.

 "Dude, are you okay? Are there bugs in your trash can or something?"

 Next to him, another trash can spoke in a whisper, the runner inside seemed to know him or something, he got a little worried and doubted whether he should show himself.

 This runner did not know, but his friend or whatever is not the same as before, now his face showed a wide smile for some reason, even though his eyes had returned to normal, they could no longer be called normal They seem to contain terrifying unknown intentions, like the personification of evil.

 …

 Wosh!!!!* Wosh!!!!* Wosh!!!!*

 At the same time, several sounds of breaking the air were heard in the distance from this now empty town, the reason why the high command asked to evacuate the citizens, now that everyone had been taken away from here, a group of planes from fighters were flying high in the sky, moreover, several special helicopters were approaching in the distance with an unknown arsenal.

 As soon as they received the news about the appearance of a demon, the higher-ups were already issuing orders after asking for consent, this time, letting the demon escape doesn't seem like an acceptable option.
