The originally spacious and lively banquet hall suddenly turned into a hell on earth! The wizards who tried to resist soon realized that something was wrong. Many of them, like Hank, suffered strong backlash from the magic at the moment of casting the spell. Some of them covered their heads and wailed, while others were directly knocked away by their own magic.

With the soul disturbed, even casting the most basic magic becomes a luxury.

Desperate shouts and screams were heard everywhere, but North had an intoxicated look on his face, enjoying everything in front of him. The chaos at the moment was the best help for his promotion.

Lin En, who was in the chaotic crowd, was quickly checking his physical condition. It was not that he was also affected by the magic circle, but Lin En simply did not understand why all the wizards present looked as if they had suffered a mental shock.

I don't seem to have encountered any attacks...

Is it because he once absorbed the power of the Eye of Death?

Lin En immediately thought of this point. The most core thing of this magic circle should be the blood of the Eye of Death, and he possessed the same power in his body.

Apart from Lynn, the only one who still had some resistance was Leia, who was proficient in plastic surgery. When he realized something was wrong, he began to transform, and then a two-meter-tall owl beast appeared in the chaotic banquet hall.

Leia's eyes were red and he let out a sharp roar, obviously affected by the magic circle. He first slapped a wizard who was blocking his way and sent him flying, and then rushed straight towards North.

"Your resistance is meaningless!" North said mockingly, opening his hands and condensing dozens of thick ice blades that flew away, ready to nail the running owl beast to the wall behind.

However, these ice blades were broken one by one by the [Magic Missiles] that came flying from nowhere. The owl beast had already crossed a distance of more than ten meters at this moment and slapped North directly.

A solid [Mage Shield] lit up around North, but it was still shattered by the enormous power of the Owl Beast.

With a loud "bang", North was knocked against the wall of the banquet hall. His entire right arm was twisted and deformed, even revealing his white bones.

But he soon struggled to stand up, and his injuries recovered quickly with the continuous replenishment of energy. Then he quickly cast the [Magic Barrier] to protect himself in all directions to avoid being hurt by these people's "fragile" resistance.

The owl beast let out another sharp roar, but this time it was blown away by a [Spell Shock] before it could move forward.

At the same time, Lin En's magic was also completed. A large amount of corrosive aqua regia penetrated into the floor tiles, corroding the alchemy circle in the center of the banquet hall into pits.

"Radak, I didn't expect you to be able to resist until now!" North also noticed Lin's presence at this time. He looked at the alchemy formation that was nearly half corroded, his face twisted for a moment, and then he said viciously. "It's useless, this is just a secondary formation."

"It's about time!" North shouted enthusiastically. "Now, everyone, merge with me!"

As North was speaking, through the perspective of the gray crows in the sky, Lin En clearly saw that the mithril pillars erected in the manor also lit up.

Then, faint blue lights floated out from everyone's bodies. The intensity and size of these flickering lights varied. The higher the level of the wizard, the stronger the flickering light. A small part of it rushed into North's body, while most of it was integrated into the magic circle covering the entire manor.

Even Leia, who had transformed into an owl beast, was unable to resist and soon fell to the ground in pain.

[A large amount of soul power has been detected. Should we absorb it and convert it into energy reserves? ]

In Lin En's mind, two prompt sounds from the intelligent computer rang.

"Yes!" Lin En glanced at the blue light floating in the banquet hall and shouted silently in his heart.

If he does not absorb these soul powers, they will be used to enhance North's power instead.

[The spirit has been captured, and it is estimated that it can be converted into 3% of energy reserves. The current remaining energy is 37.5%...]

[The spirit has been captured and is expected to be converted into 5% of energy reserves...]

Ten or so prompt sounds rang out in succession. Lin En had never thought that the energy reserve of the intelligent brain could increase so quickly. After just a few seconds, the energy reserve of the intelligent brain reached 100%! [The overflowing energy will be automatically used to increase the progress of cracking the virtual space...]

On the other side, North was also feeling the rising power in his body. This was the first time in nine years that he felt the growth of his magic power. However, North soon discovered something unusual. Although his magic power was growing rapidly, he was still a little short of breaking through to become a great wizard...

"This is impossible, this cannot be possible, what went wrong?" North shouted crazily.

There are hundreds of wizard apprentices, seven three-ring wizards, and more than ten formal wizards in the entire banquet hall. Such a huge soul power is enough to send oneself to a higher realm!

However, the reality was different from what was expected. Although he became stronger than before, he still could not break through the limit of a three-ring wizard.

"It's you, it must be you who did it, Radak!" North looked viciously at Lin En, the only one standing in the banquet hall. Before, he thought that the other party had only temporarily resisted the influence of the Soul-Devouring Formation, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.

"You can't blame me for this... maybe you accidentally drew the wrong formation..." Lin En said sarcastically while distracting himself by controlling the rats and crows that were fighting with the vicious dog.

These words obviously had no effect, because the soul power that was escaping from the air was continuously pouring into his body...

North obviously noticed this as well. He felt his heart tighten as if it was about to explode.

"You bastard, this is all my power..."

He has been preparing for this moment for three whole years and has paid a huge price. He will not allow any accidents to happen!

"Kill you, as long as I kill you, everything will come back!" Perhaps the blow was too great, North's mental state was not right, and his eyes turned red. Since part of his soul was absorbed by Lin En, he only needed to kill the other party, and this part of the power would eventually return to his body.
