'A soul pattern ritual done by a rank 4 wizard...I don't think I will comprehend the runes she used. If something unfortunate happens, we will both die.' Angele pursed his lips.

'Don't worry. Nothing will happen.' Henn sounded confident. 'You will pass the ritual with no problems. Vivian will truly treat you as her son by then.'

'What about the rank 2 spell model you have promised me?' Angele asked.

'I will certainly give it to you but transmitting it will cost me a huge amount of energy. I will have to rest for a long time afterward. Are you sure you want it now?' Henn asked.

'Of course. It is a fair trade.' Angele remained calm as he responded in a light tone.

'Alright. I will transmit it to you after you pass the ritual.' Henn stopped talking right after she said this.

Angele walked around the room checking the whole structure quickly. He washed his body with water, then going to his bed, he began to rest.

Over the next successive ten days, Angele patiently waited in the ruins. Finally, Vivian had completely finished all preparations for the ritual.

The magic circle looked like an enhanced version of the one Angele had used in the stone room. He stepped into the circle. The light it produced was still the same yellow and red.

Upon confirming her assumptions, Vivian began to treat Angele much better than before. She even allowed Angele access on the majority of the facilities in the ruin, though she still had her doubts since the entire matter itself was too difficult to believe. This sudden and almost 180-degree turn in Vivian's attitude toward him caused Angele to feel discomfort when he noticed this during the course of the next several days.

Angele was still a stranger to Vivian, so she still talked to the young man in an emotionless tone. But she was treating Angele like her own son at present after the ritual. Angele could feel the expectations she had on him and knew that Vivian was overjoyed. Such was the genuine love of a mother to her son.

Whenever she talked to Angele, Vivian would always wear a gentle smile on her face.

********************************

Five days after the ritual.

Vivian and Angele walked through the tunnel together, their footsteps echoing throughout.

"So, I have shown you the basic facilities in the ruin. Now I will take you to the more dangerous areas. In those areas, there will be mutated beasts roaming and the sulfur content in the air is denser. I would not want you entering those areas accidentally." Vivian led the way in front explaining the situation to Angele.

"I have not completely explored every area yet due to it having too many unknown factors, so remember don't enter the unexplored areas just because you are curious."

"Sure." Angele nodded. If a rank 4 wizard said that those areas were dangerous, he would definitely not test his luck.

Vivian led Angele to the southern area of the ruin where almost every part was restricted.

Angele saw an empty prison and a large black rock inside a special room. These two places had caught his attention.

After showing Angele the restricted areas, Vivian brought him to a large empty room where the wall facing them was covered with black veins and leaves.

A gray human face was surrounded by the veins at the center of the wall, as though these veins were preventing it from awakening.

Angele carefully observed the face and even had Zero scanned it, but he realized that it was only an engraving and no life energy was detected.
