Chapter 5: Diagrams of the Dark Material

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Matthew felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the line of text, especially when it was accompanied with the picture.

The awakening of Dark Brilliance Physique will bring boundless darkness to the world.

So what kind of physique was this?

Why was it so terrifying!?

This made Matthew feel that there was a huge conspiracy.

And he was an indispensable part of the conspiracy.

But Matthew had no leads at the moment, and he had no idea who was behind this conspiracy.

“It seems like I have to question that youth, or else the mystery in my heart will never be answered.”

Matthew closed the ancient book, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

But before that, he needed to know something else.

That was the Dark Demon Dragon Egg that the system had found for him.

He needed to know what level of mutated beast the Dark Demon Dragon egg would be when it hatched and how much his strength would increase.

It was much easier to find books on mutated beasts.

He was very curious about these fantastic things.

When the old village chief was still around, Matthew had read many books related to mutated beasts, but he had never read about the Dark Demon Dragon.

Thus, he did not need to spend much time looking for books on mutated beasts.

After only ten minutes, Matthew found seven books with relevant content.

He carried all these books to the reading area and started flipping through them one by one.

Matthew flipped through three books in a row, but he did not find any information regarding the Dark Demon Dragon Egg.

“Don’t tell me there’s no such information?”

Matthew almost gave up.

However, his curiosity prompted him to read two more books.

In the end, he still could not find any relevant information.

When Matthew closed the sixth book, his eyes were already filled with disappointment as he looked at the seventh book.

“Since I’ve already read so many books, it doesn’t matter if I read one more.”

Matthew picked up the last book on the table with difficulty and began to read through it in agony.

The line of words on the first page immediately attracted his attention.

“Diagrams of Darkness Materials and Mutated Beasts!”

Darkness materials!?

It was the item mentioned in the incubation condition of the Dark Demon Dragon egg!

Even if he couldn’t find any information on the Dark Demon Dragon Egg, it would be good if he could understand the darkness materials.

This way, the Dark Demon Dragon egg could hatch.

At that time, wouldn’t he know what kind of mutated beast the Dark Demon Dragon was?

Matthew opened the first page of the diagram with excitement.

It was painted with blooming lotuses, but they were black, and the roots were purple.

There was also an introduction on the back: “Phantom Lotus, darkness material product, extremely toxic herb…”

Matthew noted down the content and began to read the second page.

The second page depicted a grass with four leaves and red spots.

Its introduction was very long. “The Four-leaf Demonic Blood Grass is a darkness material that grows in dark places. It is extremely poisonous…”

Matthew flipped through the pages with extreme seriousness.

Suddenly, he found a few familiar words on page 98.

“Dark Glazed Amethyst!”

“Isn’t this…”

Matthew took out the Dark Glazed Amethyst from his pocket, trying to compare it with the diagram.

But no matter how he looked at it, he could not relate the two of them.

“It doesn’t look like it at all.”

The Dark Glazed Amethyst on the diagram was an extremely dark purple crystal that was also irregular.

However, perhaps because the piece in Matthew’s hand had absorbed 90% of the dark energy and a lot of moss had fallen off, it was not a dark purple crystal. Apart from some purple lines, it was completely unrelated to the diagram.

“Could it be that what is recorded is not the same item, but the same name?”

Matthew noted the introduction to the “Dark Glazed Amethyst” with a puzzled expression.

“The Dark Glazed Amethyst can absorb and store dark energy. When the dark energy is stored to the maximum, it can become a demonic support tool with many incredible effects. The most common usage to fire powerful Demonic Light Cannons!”

It could absorb and store dark energy!?

This…

Matthew’s earlier suspicions were immediately dispelled when he read this.

The effects of the Dark Glazed Amethyst were exactly the same as the one in his hand.

However, the appearance had changed, so much so that he could not relate the two of them immediately.

Besides, there were things he did not understand about the diagram.

The system only mentioned that the Dark Glazed Amethyst could store dark energy.

However, it did not say what kind of changes would happen once the storage of the Dark Glazed Amethyst was full.

“It seems that the content of this diagram is quite detailed.”

Matthew’s interest was piqued, and he flipped through the pages faster.

From page 201, the content of the diagram changed.

It was no longer the introductions of darkness materials, but of dark mutated beasts.

The dark mutated beasts were also known as demonic beasts!

Due to the nature of demonic beasts, very few people trained them as pets. If necessary, they would even kill them.

Furthermore, if a demonic beast lost control of its emotions, it would not spare even its master.

But because demonic beasts were stronger than mutated beasts of the same level, there would always be brave warriors who would nurture them.

Matthew had read an ancient book seven years ago. It recorded an S-grade Beast Tamer who had cultivated an S-rank demonic beast.

One day, that demonic beast went berserk for some unknown reason. It erupted with power comparable to an SS-rank demonic beast and devoured its master.

Soon, Matthew turned to page 387 of the diagrams.

“Dark Demon Dragon Egg!”

There was an egg covered in runes on the diagram. Even though it was just a picture, it still gave off an eerie aura.

Due to Matthew’s misunderstanding last time, he no longer cared about the illustration. It did not match the appearance of the Dark Demon Dragon Egg that he picked up at noon.

He quickly flipped to the back of the page and read the introduction of the Dark Demon Dragon Egg.

“The Dark Demon Dragon egg hatches the Dark Demon Dragon. It is a demonic beast and also a divine dragon. It has extremely powerful combat ability. Its dual bloodlines can suppress many mutated beasts!”

This surprised Matthew a little.

The Dark Demon Dragon had two bloodlines that could suppress many mutated beasts!

In other words, it was already at the peak when born!

Matthew was looking forward to seeing the Dark Demon Dragon hatch.

Ever since that young man appeared at noon, there were many doubts in his heart.

And to explore the truth, one had to be powerful.

Matthew was extremely excited, and he hurriedly finished reading the remaining diagrams before returning home to study the Dark Demon Dragon egg.

He exchanged a few words with Roorda and left the library. When he came out, he realized that it was already dark.

He spent an afternoon in the library.

“Forget it, let’s hurry home.”

Matthew hurried toward his little den.

After he left, a figure appeared in the darkness.

He looked at Matthew’s departing figure with a meaningful smile on his face, as if he were watching his prey fall into a trap.
