The Book of Knowledge suffered a severe blow. Previously, it might have verbally admitted defeat, but deep down it still believed it was the true leader. Without it, the master could not move forward; whenever he saw it, he would cry and kneel at its hem.
But things weren't as it imagined. During its dormancy, Rod not only did not lose out but even achieved more dazzling accomplishments.
Two King's Souls, two Strong Sources, requiring hunting two King Level Monsters, one of which is an avatar of Black Fog, and the other is the King of Ancient Giant Dragons.
Without my presence, the master couldn't possibly defeat them.
This realization struck it hard, but the Book of Knowledge didn't stay reclusive for long; it quickly thought of an explanation.
"I got it!"
"It must be my wisdom that infected the master, allowing him to create so many miracles during my dormancy. I am indeed the avatar of wisdom and knowledge, hahaha!"
