73: The Forbidden Section - Part 2

'Don't ring! Just give me a minute!'

Liam cursed in his mind as he reached his hand and delicately weaved his magic into the existing lock. He was making it so that the lock would recognize his magic signature.

His hands shook as he reached for the books inside the chest. 

Liam has more than enough magic to keep going, but his mental strength had taken a nose-dive due to concentrating hard.

Due to this, he didn't have the luxury of sorting through the tomes one by one to find what he needed currently. Instead, he activated the system's copying function and let it do the work.

One by one, the books shimmered as their contents were scanned and stored within the system's archive. 

Liam felt the weight of exhaustion settle deeper into his bones, but he forced himself to remain focused. He needed to finish this quickly.

Come on, come on…it's almost there!
