I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 116

The interior of the library I arrived at was just as dark as the corridor.

‘Even in daylight, it probably wouldn’t be much different.’

It had been snowing continuously ever since I came here. Occasionally the snowfall would lessen, but I’d never once seen it stop completely. Because of that, the sky was always gray, and even during the day, the halls remained dim.

‘Living without seeing sunlight would wear a person down.’

Muttering inwardly, I lit a candle, took the candlestick in hand, and slowly walked through the library. I pulled out books that seemed like basic texts, grabbing them as they came to hand and moving them to a table.

‘I wonder if he wasn’t exhausted?’

Even a formidable martial artist needs several days of rest after expending great energy in a major battle.

I didn’t know exactly how powerful the Sect Leader was, but just the energy needed to create and activate that Bidong formation alone must have been immense. Since they said only the Sect Leader could “defy” nature in such a way, he must have built it entirely alone.

‘Surely it’s not the case that he had so much power left over after building it that it felt like scooping just one cup from the ocean?’

If that were true, there’d be nothing anyone could do about anything.

I recalled the Leader of the Martial Alliance once mentioning that the Demonic Sect Leader’s cultivation level was close to the Xianjing realm. Back then, I’d thought the balance was already broken—but if it truly was that extreme…

‘He’s still fundamentally human, after all.’
