Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

[System]: "Detected that the host has obtained a fragment of the Forbidden Codex. Would you like to fuse it with the Forbidden Codex?"

"Fuse!"

[System]: "The Forbidden Codex fusion is complete. Please check it on your own, host."

After about half an hour, the system's voice rang out again.

Sylvus looked at the Forbidden Codex, eagerly anticipating what kind of forbidden magic he had obtained this time.

Void Spirit Art: Forbidden magic. After using this magic, you can enter a void state, becoming immune to all attacks and restrictions.

(Note: While in the void state, using any magic will exit the state, and after exiting, you need to wait one minute before using this magic again.)

When Sylvus looked at the newly obtained forbidden magic, he was slightly stunned.

This Void Spirit Art could ignore all attacks. It was perfect for escaping!

Moreover, it could bypass all restrictions.

If a mercenary possessed such magic, they could explore any treasure location without a hitch.

"This thing doesn't even have a daily usage limit. Doesn't that mean I can use it whenever I want, as many times as I like?"

Sylvus' eyes lit up.

Although it wasn't an offensive forbidden magic, he wasn't lacking in attack power at the moment.

On the contrary, such supportive magic could be immensely useful at times.

Just like the Grand Summoning Magic.

If it weren't for the incident of summoning Vogt, he wouldn't have realized how overpowered that forbidden magic was.

Especially when combined with the invincible buff his shop provided.

As long as he wanted to deal with someone, it didn't matter if they fled to the ends of the earth or how strong they were.

He could summon them and beat them up.

"Let's give this magic a try."

Sylvus smiled.

"....."

As an energy wave appeared, Sylvus felt the space around him begin to change.

In the next moment, he merged into the void.

"Am I in a void state?"

Sylvus looked at his body and noticed no change.

However, when he approached the wall, he realized he could pass through it effortlessly.

"Phasing through walls?"

Sylvus was slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected this Void Spirit Art to have other effects.

Next, he looked towards Meylan's room.

It was the perfect opportunity to see if the other person could detect him.

Passing through the wall, Sylvus entered Meylan's room.

At that moment, Meylan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating.

When Sylvus entered the room, Meylan frowned.

He immediately opened his eyes and looked towards where Sylvus was standing.

"Did he notice me?"

Sylvus frowned, but didn't care too much.

This Void Spirit Art wasn't invisibility, so being seen was expected.

He was about to greet Meylan and ask him to attack as a test.

But to his surprise, Meylan closed his eyes again, completely ignoring him.

"Didn't he notice me?"

Sylvus was taken aback.

Given Meylan's personality, if he had seen him, he would've already stood up respectfully.

There's no way he would ignore him like this.

"System, does the Void Spirit Art have an invisibility effect?"

Sylvus couldn't help but ask.

[System]: "Host, your body has turned into void, which is essentially invisibility."

Hearing the system's explanation, Sylvus realized that this forbidden magic was even more powerful than he had imagined.

It granted not only phasing through walls but also invisibility.

And on top of that, immunity to all attacks.

"Wait, System, if no one can see me, they naturally can't attack me, so isn't the immunity to all attacks a bit redundant?"

Sylvus asked.

[System]: "Host, have you ever been hit by a Forbidden Spell?"

"Uh…"

The system's simple and direct question left Sylvus speechless, but he understood what it meant.

If someone used a forbidden spell on him, whether he was invisible or not wouldn't matter.

The key would be his immunity to attacks.

After all, at the moment, he was invincible only inside his shop.

Once he left the shop, he was just a Mage King.

After familiarizing himself with the new forbidden magic, Sylvus returned to his room.

This time, he didn't disturb Meylan and allowed him to continue training.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, the Holy City became lively once again.

People in every street and alley were talking about how Sylvus had eliminated the Undead King last night.

"Have you heard? Last night, Boss Sylvus wiped out that powerful Lich Lord! I was right there! That Lich Lord was screaming so miserably!"

"What? He's already gone? I was going to whip him myself, but now you're telling me he's gone?"

"Haha, good thing I went early. I gave him two whips. I have to say, it felt really good."

"I didn't get to whip him either. There were too many people, so I thought I'd wait till today. Now you're telling me he's dead?"

Upon hearing the news of Vogt's defeat, most people were thrilled.

After all, no one had forgotten the horrors the undead had inflicted a thousand years ago.

However, a small number were disappointed.

They had missed the chance to lash out at the Lich Lord.

After Sylvus' shop opened for business, the alley quickly filled with people, but no one dared to cause a ruckus.

They all knew that the shop owner had a bad temper.

Once, a Lich Lord had disturbed Sylvus' sleep, and the shop owner summoned him, whipped him for half a day, and then killed him that night.

No one wanted to end up like Vogt.

So even though there were many people, the alley remained quiet.

Aside from the crowd in the alley, there was already a long queue outside on the main street.

The citizens of the Holy City were used to it.

They knew that Boss Sylvus' shop had opened once again.

After the shop opened, Sylvus lay on his chair, while Meylan busied himself with work.

The shop ran smoothly, and time passed quickly.

After about two hours, two figures appeared outside the alley.

One of them was Dwarf King Ronald.

When the people in the alley saw them, they automatically made way.

It wasn't for Ronald, though, but for the other person, who was none other than the Elven Queen Elena.

Elena exuded a unique, noble aura that made the crowd reluctant to approach.

They cleared a path, and the two walked slowly up to Sylvus.

"Boss, we're not here to buy pills. We've come to bid farewell," Ronald said quickly upon approaching Sylvus.

He was well aware of the shop's rules, fearing that if he spoke late, Sylvus might strike him down.

"Farewell? Why are you telling me?" Sylvus asked without opening his eyes.

Ronald and Elena exchanged glances.

They had come to bid farewell out of respect for Sylvus.

Though it hadn't been explicitly stated, everyone knew that Sylvus was now the most powerful person on the continent.

"Boss, we actually have a request as well," Elena said at that moment.
