BOOM
The building trembled, making Akira almost stumble and fall on his butt. Thankfully, he managed to balance himself and not fall down.
"Damn it, what the hell did that demoness do to anger Gildarts this badly?" Akira cursed loudly.
Earlier, he clearly calmed Gildarts down so he wouldn't go overboard and destroy the whole building in one punch. But this demoness just wasted all of his efforts and provoked Gildarts. It seems he underestimated the arrogance and contempt demons have for humans. Even when they could feel the clear difference in strength, they still wanted to court death.
Zeref really deserves to be their creator. They all have the same desire as him.
"Sigh, I should finish this quickly, I don't want my second life to die suffocated under a pile of rubble, " Akira said as he looked at the room.
The secret room wasn't very large compared to the other rooms. But it certainly was the gloomiest. Even with his enhanced senses, Akira couldn't see through the darkness that filled the room.
Akira frowned. The gloomy aura here certainly proves that what is hidden here is definitely something very important to that demon.
Akira rummaged through his bag and took out four sticks. For someone who is from the modern era and saw them, they would instantly recognize these are glow sticks that are widely used in concerts.
Apart from some new magic tools, Akira also tried to bring in some trinkets from his past life to this world. So far, he has managed to create and replicate glow sticks and small projectors.
It would only be a matter of time before he managed to create something like a smartphone or even a CCTV camera. The future is very bright.
Akira took the glowing sticks into his hand and made a cracking sound. Soon, the glow sticks began to glow brightly, illuminating the room. Then Akira threw each glow stick in different directions.
With four glowing sticks scattered in different directions, the dark room was finally illuminated enough for Akira to observe it.
"Oh my, what do we have here?" Akira said with a wry smile.
In front of him was a coffin that was placed in the middle of the giant magic circle that was glowing red light.
"Hmm, are these characters? Wow, these are abyss characters. " As Akira observed his surroundings, he noticed the unusual characters used in the magic circle. Although he had only heard of these, he still managed to recognize them. This is why he exclaimed in surprise.
Wizards usually use ancient languages or modern characters when they are deploying formations. Demonic magic circles instead use demonic runes. Although demonic runes is also an ancient language, it is far different, as demonic runes are way better at handling negative and dark energies.
It is due to this fact that demonic runes are used in dark rituals by dark guilds. But despite this information about demonic runes, it is accessible to any wizard. The reason for this is because apart from the dark guilds, even light guilds sometimes use demonic runes. After all, for a wizard who has excellent darkness affinity, it would be a waste of his talent if he weren't able to use demonic runes.
But compared to all these languages, abyss characters are something far more dangerous. Although abyss characters have the same properties as demonic runes, they are worlds apart. If we take in-game terms, then demonic runes would have an attack power of level 1, but Abyss characters would have an attack power of level 80-90.
This is the true taboo that has been recognized since ancient times. Even in Irene's small library, there was so little information about Abyss characters. But there were repeated warnings not to study them, as they are far more dangerous than any dragons.
Words have power. This is especially true in this world, where there is various magic that utilize this concept. And this concept is also taken into consideration when drawing formations. The older the language one uses, the stronger it is.
And if we talk about the most ancient language, then that would be the divine language and the abyss language. These two languages are what everyone considers to be the most taboo and amongst the taboo due to their immense power.
And seeing a formation made with abyss characters made even Akira a little scared. After all, this is a subject that he has very little knowledge of.
Deciding to take the safest approach, Akira first activated his takeover magic and changed into Rimuru form. Then he immediately activated Great Sage.

"Any other options, great sage?" Akira asked hesitantly. He knew his mental state perfectly. No matter how cool the fanfiction writers show it, he knew that his willpower may not be enough to be like the protagonists in the novels he read.
[Negative, no other option is currently available.] Great Sage's emotionless reply came, making Akira sigh in resignation.
"Sigh, Great Sage, do it, but please hurry as much as you can, " Akira said as he gritted his teeth.

At the same time, Great Sage began the analysis. Akira knelt down on the floor, holding his head in pain. The ground around him cracked a little as Akira didn't control his force.
As a half-dragon, Akira's physical strength can be said to be abnormal but normal in a sense. A wizard may also be able to do the same thing as him while utilizing magic power, so this wouldn't surprise anyone. But once again, anyone would be surprised to witness this level of abnormal physical strength from a 6-year-old.
Akira gritted his teeth as he tried his very best not to get swallowed up by all the negative emotions he was getting.
This is one of the downsides of his unique skill. He may unknowingly get influenced by the person or object he used his unique skill on. This is also why Akira nowadays rarely keeps his unique skill active. At one point, it is to save his magic power and also not to get brainwashed unknowingly.
Time passed, and Akira finally felt the massive headache he was getting subside. He breathed heavily as he shakily stood up. His whole body was covered in sweat, and his long hair, which he had tied into a ponytail, had come loose at some point, making his hair stick onto his face.
Despite his haggard appearance, Akira had a big smile that spread all across his face. If he weren't mentally and physically drained, he would be laughing out loud as a madman.
Although he had suffered for God knows how long (God: It was just 10 minutes), his harvest was worth it.
He had done something even his mother, who is known and feared as the Scarlet Disaster, would be jealous of. He had managed to analyze and learn Abyss runes.
