Chapter 262 To Inform
It wasn’t as if there was no way to undo the contract with the Trial’s Eye. The last time, Thousand Meddling Hands had given Leylin the solution of the Nefarious Filthbird feathers which had destroyed one side of the contract.
What made Leylin more uneasy was that this liquid had come from the hands of Cabourn, this rank 2 Magus!
Though it was impossible to find another solution of the Nefarious Filthbird feathers, for Magi like them, they did have ways to achieve a similar effect.
After all, the people behind Thousand Meddling Hands was the Dark Magi Alliance, which had at least a rank 3 dark Magus in charge!
If Leylin actually believed in that contract, then he must be a fool!
Caesar in front of him was a very good example! He was a Magus of Four Seasons Garden that was highly regarded. The force of the contract on him must be even stricter, and yet he had been able to betray Four Seasons Garden without the slightest hesitation. He must have used some method to break away from the effect of the contract.
Hence, though they had stated in the contract that they would not attack each other, Leylin did not take this to heart.
Just as expected, the rank 2 Magus had outrageously attacked him after obtaining what he’d wanted, not caring about the effects of the contract. This meant that he had destroyed his side of the contract.
Fortunately, Leylin had been wary of this rank 2 Magus from the start and been able to improve his strength after modifying his heart. Only then was he able to take on the attack.
“How… How were you able to retaliate? How are you able to break away from the influence of the contract?”
Cabourn first disregarded his shock at Leylin’s strength, and first asked this question.
The contract with the Trial’s Eye was not something to be made light of, otherwise it would not be used so extensively.
Besides its mortal enemy the Nefarious Filthbird, there were few other ways to deal with this sort of contract.
Even he himself needed guidance and help from the rank 3 Magus in charge of the Dark Magi Alliance and paid a large price to eliminate the limitations of the contract on his end.
The meaning of ‘eliminating the limitations of the contract on his end’ was to remove the effect of the Trial’s Eye on him, while Leylin would still be bound by the contract.
In other words, he could attack Leylin, but Leylin would not be able to strike back. The moment he did, the Trial’s Eye would punish him!
It was because of this that he had been so fearless and brazen in wanting to eliminate this untrustworthy factor first!
However, the powerful effects of Trial’s Eye did not work on Leylin. How could this not surprise him?
“Could it be that Leylin also trained in some magic that is similar to “Three Souls in a Body”?” Cabourn was beginning to realise that he could not fathom this young Magus.
His son, Caesar, had used the special effects of Three Souls in a Body that allowed Caesar to violate the contract with Four Seasons Garden. He had died once, and after the effects of Trial’s Eye had completely disappeared, he had come back to life and thus evaded the power of the contract.
Cabourn did not think Leylin had any rank 3 Magus aiding him, and the only other way for this situation to happen was that he trained in some ancient techniques!
“Fools!”
Cabourn glanced around coldly, and then coldly hummed. Due to the immense explosion, they had exposed themselves entirely to the light Magi. There were already a few wandering light Magi that wanted to investigate and find out what was happening.
Their surroundings had turned into barren land, and only the place sealing the core body of consciousness had a layer of black energy guarding it.
