Of course, there are also rather mundane innate magics, like the ability to discern whether the other party is lying.
"Hmm?"
Talia had something to say.
Currently, her innate magic is still of Pink Holy quality, but once it evolves into the Orange Epic quality of mind-reading, it will be extremely useful. Being able to anticipate an opponent’s move in battle, isn’t that strong?
"Indeed, I haven’t really seen you use it when fighting enemies, but you were spot-on when arresting me."
Lanci suspected that this magic was specially geared against him.
"Being a spy in the Cerryti Empire, have I not been trying hard to read others’ minds for you already?"
Talia said, sounding a bit wronged.
"..."
Lanci was momentarily lost for words,
"Alright, Master, you’re the most useful."
He rarely saw Talia looking aggrieved.
Seems like he had gone a bit too far.
"Hu hu."
Talia let out a light, ethereal laugh.
Isatia taught her well; just play the pity card and men will waver.
She had no issue managing Lanci at all.
"Is it really okay to think about these things so openly in my mind...?"
Lanci felt there was no saving Talia.
The sisters, one bold enough to teach and the other bold enough to learn.
He shifted his focus back to Lankros’s spells.
By knowing Lankros’s spells, he might gain insights, since their compatibility was already high.
If he could memorize them, maybe one day they could be replicated in the real world, and he could learn similar spells.
This innate magic is more useful than his own Little Sun [Shining Virtue].
Because [Radiance Corona] as a passive magic is effective upon attack, unlike the summoned [Shining Virtue], which can be destroyed by enemies.
The only advantage of [Shining Virtue] is that it can blind sight, adding a sealed-attribute.
"This last unknown epic spell seems quite similar to your [Nuclear Fusion Wolf Transformation]."
Talia mused upon the identification results.
[Eternal Radiant Destruction]
[Category: Active Spell]
[Grade: Epic]
[Attribute: Light]
[Class: 8]
[Effect: Consumes all mana from the user, causing indiscriminate damage to a super-wide area centered on oneself.]

"This spell listed last might be the lethal magic Black Sun Lord conceived over his lifetime."
Lanci could guess its origin.
It’s likely after witnessing the Fourth Ancestor Eduado using [Blood Destruction] at the Demon King Palace, studying it from the captured Fourth Ancestor Eduado, he then learned this ultimate magic.
It doesn’t require materials like the Nuclear Fusion Wolf Transformation does, it can cause earth-shattering explosions solely using Lankros’s own mana.
It was from then on, having reached the Eighth-order Domain and learning ultimate magic, that Black Sun Lord truly became a first-rate combatant able to change the tide of battle.
Six years after the Polante Empire declared war, corresponding to the timeline between the third and fourth Shadow Worlds, Demon Castle Necaris was besieged by the Blood Clan’s surprise attack, and Calila was defeated by Rashar, the Third Ancestor Duke.
Because he obtained Calila’s Life Soul, Black Sun Lord also received the magic [The Last Gentle Township] given to him by the Fallen Queen.
Its effects were hardly different from [Surging Gentle Homeland], a weakened version of Calila’s innate magic.
As for [Indestructible Lapis Body], it resembled the Epic Necklace [Undying Lapis Tears] exchanged with Frey.
Both as buffs on the body, the more debuffs one has, the higher the damage reduction and enhancement of all basic attributes received.
It can also withstand a fatal blow once, recover to full state, with its effects resetting every full moon night.
[Indestructible Lapis Body] is a trait acquired after obtaining the heart of the Wolf Clan Prince, a passive spell.
"Lankros spent his entire life learning three epic spells, which could be said to be the limit for any creature."
Talia wasn’t too inquisitive about Lankros’s other spells, most were quite common ancient spells.
The rest were mostly gifts from friends.
Even Bishop of Destruction Ivanos, with just his active epic spells [Great Destruction] and [Other Shore Ashes], is considered the top talent mage of their era.
Lankros’s talents may not be as grand as those of Ivanos or Loren, but Lankros had been through many hardships that that era would never face, which formed his hate etched in his bones and his will to grow stronger beyond his limits.
"Pity that Lankros didn’t have the same talents as Ivanos and Loren; he spent his life getting beaten on the path of becoming stronger, experiencing loss, then getting stronger, and then losing again. He almost never had an easy fight."
Lanci commented.
Black Sun Lord’s spell and jewelry sections took Lanci Taliya quite some time to review completely.
Most of the jewelry pieces were magic tools, which might’ve been powerful at the Fourth and Fifth Orders, but for Black Sun Lord of today, they were almost useless.
Like Witch’s Warm Accompaniment, these earrings could ward off one Eighth-order attack for him.
The actual Ninth Order Limit Black Sun Lord had an absurdly high Spiritual Attribute, unfathomable mana, and his magic resistance could shrug off Eighth-order Magic with ease.
He still wore these jewels, likely as mementos at this point.
"We can get down to proper business now."
Lanci turned his attention to the desk where Tiberius had laid out several options for their future.
Stay, go to the Demon King’s Castle, or return to Jiao Country.
Divination Spells have their limits; they can’t fabricate a complete future world for him to personally experience and evolve from.
