The next day, Isaac, who had stayed up all night studying Witchcraft, stretched languidly. He stood up from his chair and glanced at his status panel. The progress for the Witchcraft skill, Material Shield, was at sixty-three percent. A faint smile touched his lips. After a quick stretch, he closed his Magic Book and prepared to head out.
He planned to make a trip to the Tower of Truth to rent a laboratory. First, he needed to take care of his promotion ritual. Then, he would purchase some essential materials, such as Flesh Essence, more Flesh Essence, and... even more Flesh Essence.
After that, he could leave the Imperial Capital and head for the city where the Divine Lamp Grand Trial was being held.
