    The bookshelf had been knocked over, leaning against the library wall and covered in dust.


    Beneath the thickyer of dust, a book was faintly emitting a white light. If Song Jian hadn’t observed carefully, it would have been easy to overlook this book and proceed directly to the second floor.


    In the game, items worth searching for had their own white light, even those with misceneous attributes. If there was no visible glow, it indicated that the item had no value, and yers didn’t need to waste time and energy checking each one.


    For instance, there were hundreds or even thousands of books in this library. If each one were to be searched individually, it would waste too much time and energy. Therefore, most of the books without glow were worthless. Even if they were picked up and skimmed, the words on them were blurry and offered no benefit to the yers.


    Song Jian stepped forward, dusted off the thickyer of dust, and picked up this book.


    “Is this a diary? Havier must be the owner of this diary…” Song Jian casually flipped through it to find out that it was a diary of a low-level Priest named Havier, which recorded sporadic trivial things.


    “May 18, the whole temple seems to be in a state of restlessness today, even the Red Cloak Priest doesn’t have a smile on his face. I feel as if something big is going to happen…”


    “May 21, today Vnelle taught us the Sacred Prayer Skill. Vnelle taught very well and had great patience. I spent more than an hour to grasp it. I’m really stupid. The Sacred Prayer Skill is a necessary skill for the Dawn Priest. Perhaps in the future, I can also be a Dawn Priest. To prevent forgetting, I’d better record the prayer while I remember it…”


    “June 2, man-eating monsters have appeared in the city, the bishop told us that this is a devil invasion of the human world. It is the test of God, if we fail, the doomsday wille, everyone is terrified…”


    “June 9, today Sofia Holy Knight gathered us and told us that it is bing more and more dangerous outside. Maybe one day we will also take up arms and fight with those monsters. Sofia Holy Knight taught us a life-saving skill, Sacred Parry. This skill can allow us to escape from the threat of death once, I must record it in detail and strive to master it soon…”


    “July 19, More and more people are starting to leave the city. Fewer and fewer believerse to the temple to pray. This morning, Karl told me that he heard strange voices talking to him in the library, he is scared…”


    “July 29, The roaring sounds of the monsters outside are too loud, I can’t sleep at all. I can only get up and pray to the deities to save us. Thepanions around me are starting to be more and more strange. They seem like strangers now…In the middle of the night, there is a voice whispering by my ear, I can’t hear it clearly, but it makes me feelfortable, sofortable…”


    “September 3, Today Karl asked me to apany him to the library. He said he had something to tell me. I wonder what he needed to tell me in the library. Karl is bing stranger and stranger…”


    The diary ended here. This man named Havier must have encountered danger in the library, perhaps killed by a demon.


    Closing the diary, Song Jian sighed. From this diary, Song Jian gleaned a lot of information about the situation before the doomsday catastrophe.


    However, he did not find the temple mentioned in Havier’s diary here. All he found was a library that had been abandoned for who knew how many years.


    This library could possibly be the one described in Havier’s diary, but ording to Havier’s description, this library should be part of a temple. It was curious how it ended up in the Shadow District.


    Just then, the diary, which had been emitting white light, began to slowly break down into tiny sparkling white dots and float into the air after Song Jian read it.


    In just a short while, the diary vanishedpletely, as if it had never existed. Song Jian also received two prompts.


    System: You have read “Havier’s Diary”, it gave you the method to practice the Sacred Prayer Skill. The system detected that you are not a long-range magic ss, this method of practice has been removed;


    System: You have read “Havier’s Diary”, it gave you the method to practice the Sacred Parry. The system detected you as a melee ss Sword Controller, meet the conditions to practice this skill. You started toprehend the method to practice “Sacred Parry”.


    Soon, a progress bar appeared in front of Song Jian’s eyes, slowly moving forward. In this state, Song Jian didn’t dare to move. The text of “Sacred Parry” appeared in his mind.


    Five minutes passed, the progress bar finally reached the end. The system prompted Song Jian that he had mastered the skill “Sacred Parry”.


    Looking at the first system prompt, Song Jian felt a bit disappointed. If only he hade across this diary before epting his upation. He would have been able to learn the “Sacred Prayer Skill”, and might have encountered the upation of a Dawn Priest, but now he had epted the role of the Sword Controller, a melee ss, he naturally couldn’t learn this method of the Priest ss skill.


    However, Song Jian wouldn’t have been able to reach the Shadow District, this library, or this diary, had he not epted his upation.


    As a matter of fact, Havier’s diary records quite a few skills of the Dawn Priest and the Dawn Pdin, but other skills did not describe clearly, clearly showing that Havier hadn’te across any profound skills, merely learning these skills through observing and chatting with others. Naturally, it wouldn’t enable one toprehend.


    Only the “Sacred Prayer Skill” and the “Sacred Parry” are the skills he himself mastered, therefore they are recorded with detailed practice methods.


    Though there are tens of thousands of yer upations, they can be roughly divided into ranged and melee; physical and magic. Hence, irrespective of the yer’s upation, as long as they find “Havier’s Diary”, they can learn a skill from it.


    Although there was some regret, Song Jian’s attention was quickly caught by the “Sacred Parry” skill.


    “Sacred Parry (Active), Level 1, Skill Effect: After release, it can block the next damage to oneself within the next three seconds, and simultaneously reflects 110% of the damage received into holy damage and attack the opponent; Cooldown Time: 3 minutes; Skill Consumption: 10 Spirit Points, sessful parry returns consumption; Equipment Requirements: Melee Weapons.”


    After reading the introduction to Sacred Parry, Song Jian couldn’t help but reveal a joyous expression. As expected of a lifesaving divine skill, it couldpletely dodge the next damage he would receive. It was akin to the legendary divine skill “Absolute Defense”, if used properly, it could save his life once.


    “What a pity that this skill isn’t sword technique, or else I would havepleted my main task.” Though Song Jian voiced his regret, his expression showed no signs of being disappointed. After carefully searching again, he decided to head to the second floor.
