Chapter 207: A Perfect Match! (3rd Update)
What's the situation?
This human alchemist, who was weaker than the aura of the young frost descendant just now, how could he suddenly become so strong as soon as he turned around......
Realizing what dangerous refining this human with an aura of evil was underway, the Soul Eater immediately left the human woman who was still insulting and provoking him, and focused all his attention on him.
Its three layers of eye membranes are all closed. This means that it will give up its sight entirely, aiming at the only locked enemy with its perception alone...... Only then can it sneak into the realm of silence at any time.
- It must be interrupted.
This is a forbidden refinement that only the "sages" can complete.
But wasn't he still an "apprentice" just now? Not even a "master......
The Soul Eater is full of question marks.
It hadn't been summoned for hundreds of years, and it found itself completely ignorant of the material world......
In the world of the Soul Eaters, there is no such thing as "taking drugs".
But it recognized the alchemy.
Taboo refining - coronal purification.
Swap out a small part of the essence of the sun with a piece of matter in the real world—or send someone into the sun's interior with only half of it.
It didn't want to take the blow hard.
As a summon, it is indeed impossible to die, this is just its fake body, like a "puppet stone statue".
But it hurts.
If banished to the sun......
The Soul Eater shook his drill-like head uneasily, and vanished in place, dodging the clumps of steel guns flying towards him, and moving farther away from here—at least where the flames couldn't shoot.
To be honest, it kind of wanted to slip away.
Especially not this time I was summoned by the followers of Lady Silence.
Instead, it was summoned by a heretic who stole the spell out of nowhere and added a bunch of strange restrictions...... It doesn't seem very reluctant.
The boss told me to work overtime.
But you're just the owner of another company that I know my boss...... It's okay to help out, why do you ask me to work overtime?
Unlike the seemingly fully evolved Hunter appearance, the Soul Eater is a relatively good-natured summon, and much more timid than it seems. If it weren't for the Silent Lady's followers, they would have fled if they encountered a strong enemy.
The reason is simple.
Because this thing lives in groups.
But it is the natural enemy of almost all transcendents who exist in mana pools...... They feed on souls that have pools of mana.
They can see the soul and unconditionally feel the specific position of the caster, as well as the strength of the spell being sung, and get the characteristics of the spell. It also has a powerful and resilient body, and is extremely fast and powerful in its charge, which is why the Soul Eater is metaphorically referred to as the "Spear of Silence" in rituals.
At the same time, it can move freely between the realm of silence and the present world, and it seems to teleport.
Therefore, among the high-ranking summons, they are more popular.
An extraordinarily fragile and sluggish transcendent like an alchemist, only at the level of a sage can the Soul Eater be a little intimidating.
But it's still clearly hesitant.
It crawled around a long way away from a few people, the mist evaporating from its body dissipating in the blink of an eye. It makes it look like a marshmallow lizard in action.
Annan also saw its fears.
He knows why.
- It is because of the deterrence refined by taboos.
Taboo refining refers to the unequal alchemy that is completed through the transformation of a specific route with an extremely fast frequency—one cycle per sentence—and at a very low cost that is impossible to complete, by taking the existing rules and exceptions, and borrowing the truths already held by others or even "other gods".
Its essence is to exploit loopholes in the rules and usurp the authority of truth. If it is discovered by the person concerned, it may be found by following the clues.
That's why it's called "forbidden refining". The ancient alchemist's profession "Sage" after reaching the Golden Rank was also known as "Fire Stealer".
But if it doesn't get found...... After the Transformation Wizard reaches the Golden Tier, he will become the only wizard who can steadily use the power of the Truth Tier.
Although if it is discovered, it may have to pay a terrible price afterwards. But at least it can be contingency......
The power of the Truth Tier, even if it is only a little bit stolen - but it also has an absolute suppressive power against enemies at the Gold Rank and below. Just as the power of the elements is completely immune-free for those below silver.
…… Senior, there's something about that.
Salvatore did tell Annan about the taboo refinery.
However, he did not tell Annan that he himself had mastered at least one forbidden mantra......
You're not golden.
Why are you going to find out about this?
And the senior's body crawled out of the slimy ...... What the hell?
How can you cast a spell and still curse people? It seems to be more than the senior's magic trick?
…… Mo, Mo is not Venom?
And that evil mimic creature with an ominous aura...... And what is it?
The Soul Eater, however, refused to leave—apparently growing doubts about Salvatore's strength.
The Soul Eater didn't know what drugs were, but it didn't believe that Salvatore's power could last.
Otherwise, if the "sage" wants to target it, he will not need to refine it with a taboo at all...... You can subdue it at your fingertips.
On the one hand, because of this suspicion, and on the other hand...... It's because this Soul Eater is a little greedy.
It's not very old—by the standards of a Soul Eater.
Because it smells that there is indeed a delicious soul nearby, it is very fragrant. And it's a lot, but I'm not sure where it is, so I'll have to look for it again.
And that frostborn's soul is also delicious and fragrant. I want to eat.
The souls of those two humans were dry and didn't want to eat.
The soul of the somewhat eccentric alchemist who suddenly became a "sage...... It seems to stink a little.
It's fragrant and smelly.
Eventually, it couldn't hold back its appetite.
It moved from side to side, retreating into the realm of silence the moment it entered a dead corner of a building, and instantly appeared in the direction behind Annan.
Without warning and without force, it came like a cannonball without warning, trying to penetrate Salvatore directly!
But at this moment, an invisible wall of qi rose behind Salvatore at the same time.
- Annan had already anticipated its attack.
Because it seems to habitually like to attack from behind.
Before the Soul Eater hesitated, Annan took the vial and placed the hammer at his feet, clasping his hands together in prayer.
Then use Salvatore as a bait, always watch out for his back, and intercept the most threatening "Silent Spear" at the first time!
The Soul Eater who was flying at a rapid pace suddenly slowed down the moment it passed by this wall. Although it was a creature, its effect was greatly reduced, but after passing through this wall, Annan canceled the previous wall in the blink of an eye and erected another wall in front of it!
Four consecutive millisecond-accurate second releases and second cancellations reduce the Soul Eater's charge speed to the point where it is a motorcycle that is just starting out.
That's Annan's channeling spell, the Wall of Stals!
At the same time as Annan quickly released the wall of canceling the stall, a frosty aura spread rapidly on the ground, completely freezing the body of the Soul Eater.
For the first time, the elven skin gloves, which had already begun to stick to Annan's skin, allowed Annan to use two channeling spells at the same time and control the Soul Eater's actions in time!
At this moment, dozens of steel spears wrapped in lightning came from the sky with terrifying might.
The Shadow had anticipated Annan's actions and believed that Annan would be able to control them...... So he kept his spear in the air, ready to go—
Dense steel spears fell to the ground like heavenly punishment, nailing the Soul Eater to the ground, smashing it hard, and bursting into a beam of flame—and then crystallized and tempered the moment the flame rose.
The Soul Eater was joined forces by Annan and the Shadow, and in an instant, he was sealed inside a solid steel pillar with a radius of about five meters!
