Chapter 166 Toins's Intentions
Chapter 166 Toins's Intentions
Since the rune magic circle was activated, the power of the curse has been continuously absorbed, especially from Toins himself. The concentration and thickness of the curse power far exceeded that of the other two people. The scene was terrifying to watch.
Ivan carefully comprehended the mysteries of the formation.
He is one of the people who preside over the operation of the formation, and the entire formation is equivalent to being directly and generously open to him. This is the result of more than ten years and decades of research on the Curse of Demon Grudge by Toins.
You can say Toines is bad, but you can't think he is stupid.
Of course he needs to think about it carefully.
"Let me take a good look at what you are playing at."
In fact, he still had some doubts about Toynes's intentions, or like Penny, he didn't trust Toynes from the bottom of his heart.
However, the curse of demon resentment is always a problem. Thinking that Toins' research will definitely be useful in the future, this is why he is willing to stand on the stage.
After becoming a wizard, his mental power underwent a transformation, and his perception and insight were no longer what they used to be.
Ivan soon noticed something unusual.
The auras of the three people were connected through spiritual energy, and there was a direct connection between the seals. There was also a very frightening aura coming from next door.
"No wonder the formation was built in this strange place. This is a rune magic formation that borrowed the power of the next door."
"From the perspective of the formation's structure, what Toins said about sending the curse power to the next door should not be empty talk."
"In essence, mental power represents the soul, and the curse, as a unique life energy, can be regarded as physical energy."
Ivan glanced at Toins and saw how ugly he looked. An idea popped into his mind: Was he trying to take possession of his or Penny's body?
It is really possible. Doing so will probably leave certain consequences, but it is better than maintaining the body of a magical pet. If he were to become like this, he might make the same choice.
"In this case, we have to be on guard to be safe."
After realizing the trick, Ivan made a plan in mind.
Under his command, a swift wood silkworm with the ability of "pseudo-breathing" fell into his hand through his sleeve. After some operation, he transformed the remaining little curse power into the secondary curse seal of Summer Curse.
The curse seal landed steadily on the Swift Wood Silkworm.
He had already learned how to transform the Spring Curse of the Demon's Curse into the Summer Curse, and then separate the secondary curse from the Summer Curse. He had previously been worried that Xun Mucan's body would not be able to withstand it, and with the existence of the Jiang Xia Water, he had rarely used it.
It is different now. The Swift Wood Silkworms have undergone tremendous changes. The physical strength of some of them is almost catching up with his own, so they naturally have no problem bearing the secondary curse.
"Not bad, not bad. The aura is exactly the same."
Xun Mucan used the "breathing technique" to simulate Ivan's breath, and even he himself could hardly distinguish it. He secretly praised it in his heart.
Then, he connected the formation to his own aura and replaced it with the aura of the Swift Wood Silkworm, and connected the part of the curse on his arm and replaced it with the secondary curse on the Swift Wood Silkworm.
All this was done in secrecy, without attracting the attention of others.
He glanced at Penny not far away, this was also a problem.
After thinking for a while, Ivan shouted to Toins: "Wizard Toins, I think we should have a good talk."
The two were busy, and when they heard his words, one was uneasy, thinking that he had discovered something, and the other was annoyed, not knowing what he was going to do.
Both of Toins' heads looked at him, and his four eyes were filled with coldness: "Ivan, what do you want to talk about?"
Ivan seemed unaware and continued, "Let's talk about the method you are going to give to increase the success rate of wizards' promotion. I think that should not be empty talk."
"How do you want to talk?"
"You have to give me a guarantee. I won't make it difficult for you. Just notarize it in the name of Mother Earth and make a simple oath. I will believe that you will fulfill your promise."
After entering the Wizard Academy, he discovered that many contracts were witnessed by the "Mother Earth". It is reported that the wizards realized that compared with other mythological characters, the name of the Mother Earth was the most effective.
Such an empty oath does have a certain effect on a wizard.
"Well done, well done." Toins was annoyed by his words. No matter how miserable he was, he was still a wizard. It was rare in the world that an apprentice would force him to swear an oath without knowing the consequences.
"Ivan, you have always been a smart person. Tell me, what do you rely on? Ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to force this wizard?"
Ivan ignored the darkened face opposite him. A dark glow of fighting spirit appeared on his palm, with a light blue halo. He smiled and said:
"The Great Knight's fighting spirit has the characteristic of 'penetration'. The fighting spirit slash it releases is good at cutting through people's defenses. You might as well guess whether it has the same effect when cutting through formations."
"What a great knight you are, with such a penetrating ability. You are indeed my most valued disciple."
There was a gleam in Toins' eyes. Kisan didn't tell him the details last time. He just knew that his disciple had become a great knight. The body of a great knight is great. "Isn't Billel your most valued disciple? I almost forgot that he made you suffer a great loss last time. Wizard Toins, you must remember this lesson firmly." Ivan retorted.
This sentence undoubtedly made Toins' face darker, but he was now a magical pet and outsiders could not see clearly. After a few seconds of pause, he swallowed this great humiliation.
"Please bear witness to us, Mother Earth Core. I, Toins Lilichida, swear here that after the rune magic array stops functioning, I will find an item or method for Ivan Marichatton that can increase the success rate of wizard promotion. If you break this oath, you will suffer a great disaster and will never be able to become a second-level wizard in your lifetime."
Finally, Toins gritted his teeth and asked, "Ivan, is this possible?"
"That puts me at ease."
Ivan had a faint smile on his face and nodded slightly. As expected, Toins did not notice the subtle changes in the formation.
Penny witnessed this scene and felt very nervous. She winked at him several times, but unfortunately she got no response. She could only continue to clear the curse power in the seal.
Toins was also stripping away the power of the curse, and the chill in the depths of his eyes grew more intense.
In the following time, Ivan did not do anything else, but just took the time to explore the rune magic array in front of him.
“Toins’ words are not credible, but they are certainly not all lies. The massive transmission of curse power that occurs once every five years might be true. We may have to deal with the Curse of Demonic Resentment for a long time in the future.
Well, let’s use the light of great wisdom.”
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn more useful things.
The next second, the academic master's panel emerged, and he activated the light of great wisdom. A silent rhythm enveloped him, making him exceptionally clear-headed. He combined the Curse of Spring and the Curse of Summer to conduct a deeper exploration.
[Enchantment Experience +300]
[Enchantment: lv5 (1211/1500)]
[Rune Experience +200]
[Runes: Lv5 (544/1500)]
[Curse Learning Experience +150]
[Curse: lv3 (5/300)]
In just a few minutes, as he continued to comprehend, the subject experience points on the academic panel continued to increase, and his enchantment, rune, and curse studies improved to varying degrees.
Curse studies was upgraded to a level 3 subject.
In addition to experience points, Ivan also comprehended a secret technique, which he named "Summer God Chain". It is mainly used to flexibly transfer the power of curses. It can also transfer life force like the Rose Chain. Many other uses need to be further developed.
"Unfortunately, the formation involves the unknown power next door. If you want to go deeper, you must directly touch that strange aura, which is really not advisable."
The reason why he didn't succeed in his exploration this time was because he gave up. Now that he has already incurred a difficult curse from a demon, it would be unwise to be contaminated by another strange power.
Through this contemplation, Ivan gained a better understanding of the rune magic formation in front of him, and his expression became more calm.
In the cave, perhaps due to the influence of the operation of the formation, the chanting sound coming from the passage deep inside became brighter and brighter. If you listen carefully, you will find that the song has a cheerful meaning.
The three of them didn't care about it.
Time passed little by little, and soon Pernie cleared all the curse power out of her body. Under the effect of the formation, she also sent out the power that constituted the curse itself. She breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Toins also sent out most of the curse power in his body, and he felt extremely relaxed, as if a cage had been removed.
The power of the curse of demon resentment will not disappear out of thin air. All of it is lingering under the constraints of the rune witch formation, floating above, forming a dark blue cloud, bringing great pressure to the people below.
"Ivan, Penny, come with me to send the power of the curse to the next door. Don't hesitate or be distracted. Success or failure depends on this." Toins growled, controlling the rune magic formation to unleash greater power.
With the joint efforts of the three people, the curse power was guided by the rune magic array and transmitted to a node next door.
As soon as the curse power was sent away, a big change happened on Toins' side.
Dense cracks suddenly appeared on his entire body, and blood flowed out of it. Under the influence of an unknown force, his body did not break into pieces, but turned into strange black and red energy, like an elemental creature composed of some dark particles.
The black and red energy flowed along the rune lines and some kind of connection towards another control node like a group of poisonous snakes.
This change certainly caught the attention of the other two.
Pernie only felt that her body and mind were shaking uncontrollably, and it was difficult for her to remain calm. She could only look at the things happening in the formation in horror.
"It turns out that the thief is still thieving."
Ivan sneered secretly. He knew something about the rune magic formation and realized that Toins was coming for him. As expected, Toins chose him.
You can't blame me if you're asking for death.
Seeing this, he stretched out an invisible hand and cut another nearby rune, forcibly controlling the rune formation to develop in an unknown direction. Suddenly, the lines in the formation twisted for no reason.
Destruction is much easier than construction. Without much effort, he pried open the formation that Toins had carefully arranged.
"you dare!"
Toins let out a mixture of roars and hisses. He no longer cared about anything else and accelerated towards where Ivan was, because he found that his consciousness was becoming blurry little by little.
