Chapter 62 Immortal lv1

"???"

As soon as Victor said this, everyone turned their attention to him.

While not entirely filled with doubt, there was a certain degree of disbelief in their gaze. After all, the stone coffin was clearly not simple; it had obviously been sealed by an official wizard using ancient runes.

It's not that they don't trust Victor, it's just that even these high-level wizard apprentices are helpless, so what means do you, a low-level wizard apprentice, have?

In fact, Viktor wasn't particularly resourceful.

Ancient rune technology is indeed extremely difficult, especially the conditions for using it. It is impossible to do so without becoming a formal wizard. Therefore, his proficiency in ancient runes on his panel has become so high that after reaching the proficiency level, there are almost always hurdles to overcome, which has made him almost give up on learning it.

Even if there is a lot of knowledge in the book, if it cannot be combined with practical operation, then the growth of proficiency will inevitably hit a bottleneck.

But Victor said he could try for another reason—the sarcophagus, upon his approach, revealed a new clue from the corner of its eye:

[Equipable item detected: Immortal Stone Coffin]

[Equipping this item grants the following attribute: Immortality Lv1 — Your physical body will no longer be affected by the passage of time, until the end of your life.]

[Requirement for absorbing equipment: Resist one death]

[Replace this equipment?]

[Note: Seven deaths, seven rebirths, ascending the ladder to immortality]

......

That's right, this stone coffin is actually a piece of equipment.

Viktor never expected that something so large could be considered equipment... and this stone coffin seemed to be quite extraordinary.

At least, none of the equipable items Viktor had seen before had any additional prompts from the panel... and his tone was so arrogant!

Even without the exaggerated description at the end, the stone coffin's devouring effect is still powerful. After devouring, it can completely ignore the effects of time on the body... This doesn't seem to be just a simple way of maintaining one's appearance.

In fact, maintaining one's appearance is not a difficult thing for wizards.

After a wizard apprentice is promoted to a full wizard, their physical body will undergo a fundamental change under the influence of a powerful soul, thereby slowing down aging, or they can simply use magical items or potions to maintain their appearance.

But generally speaking, it's female wizards who care about their appearance who do this.

However, this entry describes it in detail as "the physical body is not affected by the years and remains so until the end of life," which is fundamentally different from the idea of ​​maintaining an unchanging appearance.

Because wizards are essentially living beings, they are also affected by physical aging.

For example, Manugs, as a formal wizard, had an extremely powerful soul, so his body could easily live for over two hundred years. However, while his soul remained powerful, his body began to age with the passing years, which gradually affected his soul, causing it to weaken as well.

Slower reactions, less magic stored in the body, slower casting of spells... these are all effects of aging.

This is a limitation of human lifespan, and it cannot be easily escaped.

Therefore, the greatest function of this "Immortal Lv1" attribute is not to maintain appearance, but to allow Viktor to maintain his peak combat power as long as he has not reached the end of his life!

Also... although wizards value the soul more, it doesn't mean the physical body is unimportant.

To advance from a first-circle wizard to a second-circle wizard, a strong physical body is also an essential requirement. This is why wizards with powerful bloodlines find it easier to advance to the second-circle...

Therefore, at this moment, a rare fervor rose in Viktor's eyes.

He stretched out his hand and, under everyone's gaze, placed his palm on top of the stone coffin, then closed his eyes... Time passed second by second, and Nina and the others exchanged glances, not quite understanding what he was doing. According to their understanding, to unlock this kind of sealed stone coffin, shouldn't they use magic to break the runes on it?

But before they could even ask the question, the stone coffin that had just been in front of them vanished in the blink of an eye!

Everyone was startled and was about to ask Viktor what was going on, but before they could ask, the stone coffin in front of them suddenly reappeared in the same spot!

"I know how to open it!"

Viktor, who had closed his eyes, opened them again.

A confident smile played on his lips. Before anyone could speak, he channeled his magic power, rapidly pouring it into the row of runes on the stone coffin. In the blink of an eye, the stone coffin made a soft 'crack' sound, and a crack appeared at the head of the coffin...

"It's really open?"

Nina was utterly shocked.

He quickly walked over, examined the runes on the sarcophagus, and after confirming they weren't fake, turned to look at Victor with an incredulous expression:

"Victor... how did you do that?"

"Of course, we can only thank Professor Manugges for his guidance during this time..."

Viktor replied with a smile.

How did you do that?

Of course, it's done through the equipment slots... Just like equipping books allows Viktor to immediately understand the meaning of the text, equipping locked items allows Viktor to instantly know how to unlock them.

Although Viktor might not know how to unlock it... fortunately, the runic seal on the sarcophagus wasn't too difficult for Viktor to break, so he easily unlocked it.

"..."

Anyone with a brain would not believe Viktor's answer.

But Nina and the others looked at Viktor's seemingly harmless smile and rationally chose to remain silent... Everyone has secrets, and they were no exception. So smart people don't choose to pry into other people's secrets, especially when they are not sure what the other person's background is.

So Karian glanced at Victor and then stopped talking about him, instead going to the sarcophagus to open it.

But before he could make a move, Viktor stopped him again:

"I'll do it."

"If we open the sarcophagus directly, it will trigger the trap magic inside, which will be very troublesome."

As he spoke, Viktor reached to the top of the sarcophagus, then reached out and felt around underneath for a moment... A soft sound came from inside the sarcophagus again, and Viktor then withdrew his hand and placed it on the lid.

"Alright, the trap spell has been dispelled. Now we can open this thing and see what's hidden inside... What new discoveries might we find!"
