Chapter 473: Dark Spirit Blade and Eye of the Abyss
In the following period, Thor participated in several more Sweeper missions.
Each mission requires at least three wizards. Although the Baidong Academy occupies a large area and has a large population, there are still only a few wizards who have super combat power and like to face evil spirits directly.
Most people here are more accustomed to doing research in laboratories, so after completing a few missions, repeated faces began to appear around Thor.
During this period, Julie came to see Saul several times, but he turned her away.
It's not that Thor really resists developing a deeper relationship with other female wizards. It's just that when faced with such a wizard who can arouse people's emotions, he decided to stay away from her.
When Thor was not participating in the mission, he would hide in his newly rented top floor and do experiments.
Because the frequency of evil spirits appearing in the ancient city of Archaster was obviously abnormal, Thor believed that it was affected by some factors.
So, he began to try to find the opportunity for the soul to become an evil spirit. He did this not to help the city solve the fundamental problem, but to conduct an experiment he had planned for a long time - soul arming.
The two abnormal spirits captured by Thor, John and his girlfriend, were both experimental materials and experimental subjects.
Especially for John, as he is between vengeful spirits and evil spirits, he is most suitable to observe the process of their transformation into evil spirits. This is a very rare experimental opportunity.
Once he understands the reasons for the formation of evil spirits, or at least understands what factors are most likely to lead to spiritual pollution and confusion of consciousness, he can begin to transform the four consciousnesses in the diary.
Even the strongest Morton was lacking in combat power. They were unable to perform large-scale witchcraft, and the little magic power in their containers could not sustain them in a long-term battle.
It would be enough for normal times, but Thor was about to go to the Borderlands, so he had to do everything he could to improve his combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Thor was also deliberately studying the knowledge left to him by the second-level wizard Jasim before his death.
The little black bug hiding deep in his spiritual body had been suppressed by the diary and the consciousness platform until Thor took the initiative to explore and discovered the secret inside.
After several days of research, it was discovered that this insect was a very special soul fragment. By splitting its own soul, it allowed it to carry a piece of consciousness into the spiritual body of others.
In this way, the inheritor can directly learn certain knowledge or know certain things.
But when Thor understood the principle, he just sneered and did not appreciate Jasim's idea.
There is no other reason. This kind of witchcraft has great hidden dangers and the harm is very deep.
When Jasim passed on this knowledge to Saul, he himself lost the impression of this knowledge. Although he can regain this knowledge through learning, if he is not reminded in time, he will forget this experience forever.
Jasim had already decided to die, so he had no such concerns.
But this witchcraft also poses a great threat to Thor.
Although Thor can directly understand the knowledge taught by Jasim through this soul fragment, he must also absorb other ideas taught by Jasim.
In other words, once Jasim mixes some of his own values, beliefs, and obsessions into this consciousness, Thor is likely to become the same person as him.
This is a subtle influence, which may not be strong at first, and may not even really affect the decision of the inheritor.
But over time, it will take root and sprout like a seed, and little by little change the thinking of the recipient. If it is not discovered and eliminated in time, the recipient may suffer a drastic change in character. A bully who originally killed and burned people may become a kind-hearted person who can't help but help beggars when he sees them.
When Jasim calmly went to his death, Saul knew that this man must be a man of strong beliefs.
When a person like this is passing on knowledge, can he not pass on some of his own ideas? Thinking of this, Thor did not intend to accept this knowledge directly. But this did not mean that he would give up Jasim's inheritance.
As someone who owns a diary, he chose another way to filter this fragment of his soul.
He directly integrated this inheritance into the black page of Gudo!
After integrating this soul fragment, Gudo, who was originally a little weak, suddenly became three times stronger.
Afterwards, under Thor's orders and the constraints of the diary, Gudo directly repeated the knowledge he had gained to Thor in full.
As Thor expected, the inheritance left by Jasim was his black blade which was extremely powerful in frontal combat - the Dark Spirit Blade.
This is a powerful sorcery that can attack both the spirit and the body at the same time. It can also split into hundreds of fragments and attack multiple enemies at the same time.
Of course, the attack power of the fragments after the splitting is not as strong as the complete Dark Spirit Blade. But as a top-level second-level wizard, one fragment can kill a third-level apprentice, and several fragments combined can kill an ordinary first-level wizard.
This is a very powerful dark attribute spell, very suitable for Thor who has no destructive attack spells!
However, just as Thor joyfully began to copy the witchcraft rune structure of the Dark Spirit Blade, Gudo, who had absorbed Jasim's inheritance, suddenly began to talk to himself naturally, completely disregarding the consumption of his soul energy.
[Ah, so that's how it is. I finally understand why the Tribunal sent people to hunt us down.]
[So much manpower and resources were wasted just to chase after a few first-level wizards like us...]
[Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have gone back earlier. ]
[No, I might also get so scared that I start to go crazy.]
[I really admire Jasim. He knew all this and was still able to hunt us down calmly. ]
[Perhaps this is why he can become a top-level second-level. ]
[Without such a persistent belief, how could it be possible to break through the barrier between level one and level two? ]
Seeing this, Thor also completed copying the entire complex witchcraft rune structure.
It took up more than twenty pages of parchment.
If we add the subsequent disassembly analysis and personal insights, it will be enough to form a complete witchcraft book.
But Thor did not continue. He looked at Gudo's soliloquy with some surprise.
"What else is hidden in Jasim's knowledge?"
【He brought the secret about the establishment of the Tribunal. 】
"What is it? I see you seem to have a deep understanding."
【It is the secret of the establishment of the Tribunal.】
Thor raised his eyebrows. This was the first time that the consciousness in the diary avoided his question in this way.
Is it because the soul fragments injected by Jasim really affect the consciousness itself? Or is it that the self-awareness of the consciousness is resisting the control of the diary? In any case, Thor must figure this out.
"I order you to tell me directly what secret you have obtained."
[I…I…]
Gudo's white handwriting began to become messy.
It was obvious that he was trying hard to resist Thor's orders.
Cracks began to appear on the black pages.
This is also a phenomenon that has never happened before!
But in the end, the diary was successful. Guduo's handwriting was like a person writing with his palm controlled. During the struggle, many characters would suddenly have a very long tail.
[The Tribunal was established because the Eye of the Abyss was expanding! In order to stop the expansion, they——]
However, Guduo's handwriting came to an abrupt end here, because the entire page shattered with a "bang".
Thor watched in amazement as the fragments of book pages turned into black powder and were absorbed bit by bit by the strange starry sky inside the consciousness body.
But in the end, he failed to obtain the secret of the Tribunal.
This was the first time that the diary failed to control the consciousness sealed in its black pages.
At the same time, it also made Thor understand the power of the Tribunal.
"Eye of the Abyss..." Thor whispered silently.
He thought of the huge depression on the far side of the planet.
This depression seemed to have penetrated deep into the center of the earth. Apart from it, Thor didn't know what else could match the simple adjective "Eye of the Abyss".
"The Eye of the Abyss... is expanding?"
