Fallen Star Pendant
“I have already abided by my agreement and released you from the Confining Spirit Sphere. What happens next is not a part of the contract!”
Leylin’s voice was extremely unconcerned.
This was just simple wordplay. Magicians were all intelligent people, and could not be lied to easily.
However, Roman was different. He had already died a long time ago, and his spirit body had transformed into a vengeful spirit. Naturally, his intelligence could not even be comparable to that of an average human.
Moreover, after spending so much time inside the lab, Leylin had been diligently exercising various methods to reduce Roman’s intelligence, making him more muddled, in order to interrogate him.
As expected, even if Roman had unexpectedly regained his intelligence today under the brink of his death, he was still manipulated by Leylin and gave away the important information to the advanced meditation technique.
“Even for me, as of now, a level 3 acolyte spirit body is extremely hard to acquire, so how could I let you leave?”
Leylin did not bother paying attention to Roman’s curses, and placed the silver cross in the centre of the runes, as he began to complete the final step for the Fallen Star Pendant.
The Fallen Star Pendant came from a derelict page in the Lowian Academy Teachings. After having been decrypted by the A.I. Chip, together with the Alchemy diary found on Roman’s corpse, Leylin was able to deduce the correct procedure for synthesizing it.
After advancing to a level 3 acolyte, Leylin had dedicated most of his time and effort on synthesizing this low-grade magic artifact.
After costing Leylin a large amount of magic crystals and ingredients, the Fallen Star Pendant was almost completed, where the final step remained – spirit awakening!”
According to Leylin’s deductions and the A.I. Chip’s calculations, the final step, the spirit awakening, had already involved the aspect of spirit and was something that he could not resolve then.
However, Leylin sought a huge number of living bodies from Viscount Jackson of Extreme Night City as a main material in observing the soul.
After many years of research, Leylin could already confirm that within Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, he would be the foremost regarding the topic of soul research, and might even surpass many Magi.
After so many experiments, the spirit awakening step did not pose a problem for Leylin.
However, he had no leads on the other ancient formula that he obtained from Kroft, Tears of Mary, up till now.
Leylin’s guess was that this formula was meant for an official Magus, something which an acolyte could not get involved with yet.
“For the Spirit awakening, a stronger spirit body is not necessarily better. According to the A.I. Chip’s simulation and my own deductions, a level 3 acolyte would be the most suitable for it….”
Leylin looked at the vengeful spirit, Roman, who was writhing and cursing him on the light formation.
“For a long time, I have deliberately calibrated Roman’s spirit strength to be compatible with the final step. As long as I am able to complete the spirit awakening, the magic artifact that I get will definitely be perfect!”
This was the trump card that Leylin had prepared for the upcoming bloodbath.
A low-grade magic artifact did not exceed the boundaries of an official Magus. However, for acolytes, it was almost impossible for them to destroy the defense on this magic artifact.
As long as Leylin had that pendant, his safety in the bloodbath would be greatly increased.
“Let me go! You promised me!”
