The moonlight shines through the window sill into the dormitory, and the bed and desk are covered with a layer of silver.
At this moment, under Helo's feet was a thick layer of black material residue, including some extremely hard ore powder, and mixed with this garbage was wisps of darkness, distortion, and inversion.
If someone else comes to this room, they may just step into it, and their soul will be polluted with just one breath.
This was also the reason why the old man was curious at the beginning, what kind of system and what kind of soul circuit required so many weird materials.
But in the empty room, under the brass lighting, Hero was naked, sitting quietly in front of the secret book, his eyes focused and calm, and the sound of quills rubbing against parchment could be heard intermittently on the desk.
The dormitory is a completely different world from the outside. The dormitory divided by the high tower is a specially arranged and cut-out space. It is completely silent. Not only inside and outside the windows, even the mixed sounds from the corridors and halls cannot be transmitted.
This also made Hero's heart completely immersed in the past three months, and his mood remained very peaceful during the experiment.
Three months! He didn't step out of the dormitory for three whole months. He had been using the resources obtained from the heart of the tree to digest [Nightmare Soul] and [Black Sea] with all his strength.
Until now, he was still comprehending the changes in his body and soul. The pure soul power was emitted due to the fluctuation of soul energy, entangled in the quill in Hero's hand, and from time to time he sketched some processes on the parchment.
He is like a bystander, expressing some wonderful feedback from his soul one by one, and then uses the knowledge he has learned to dissect and analyze, and finally records it and saves it in the secret book.
The secret code has many functions, and recording and preserving knowledge is only part of it. It will accompany the magician for a long time even in his long life.
As he comprehended the twisted nature, the incomplete knowledge dissipated when the Nightmare Soul was digested, and the characteristics of the Black Sea, Hero discovered that using the power of the affected soul to explain their underlying fluctuations could more clearly analyze the true meaning.
It's like a password treasure chest. With the help of a tool, the password can be parsed very coherently, and the treasure inside can be easily obtained, but it only takes a lot of time.
The process, consistency, and satisfaction of the result made Hero a little addicted.
Ding dong!
"Huh? It's a message from Byrne. It seems that the assessment task has been completed well. By the way... it should be over soon."
Click to check the date progress on the secret book. It is indeed almost the end of the three-year assessment period.
Holo was so immersed in the decryption game that he almost forgot about it.
Then the rewards should be distributed quickly.
During this period, in order to understand the changes in his soul and the various new characteristics and talents, the large amount of resources that Holo exchanged for tree hearts were consumed very quickly. Whenever Holo needs to test the changes in his soul, he needs to use some resources.
To stimulate.
Just like the ever-extinguishing combustion boiler in a steam locomotive, some ore needs to be shoveled in every moment to serve as fuel.
This bottomless pit of consumption made him return to poverty within three months.
During this period, apart from analyzing and digesting, there was no free time to make [Tesla grenade].
Fortunately, during this period, apprentices were returning to the tower one after another, making the old man at the grocery store busy, otherwise he would be chasing him at the door in the morning to ask for new products to sell.
As for now, Helo still plans to sort out the success during this period and see if there are any unexpected gains.
While feeling the nightmare soul that has not been completely digested in the body, he flipped through the records in the secret book.
"Based on this time, it will take another two months to completely digest the soul, but this is because the resources are completely exhausted. When the evaluation and assessment rewards are decentralized, the progress should be faster by replacing some resources.
..”
This involves the soul and the digestion of physical objects. Until something is decomposed, Hero's data panel cannot function.
But it can be regarded as some gains. Just digesting a part of the soul body, and I can already feel a trace of the characteristics of "The Complete Nightmare Swallowing".
This is enough to prove that Hollow's previous conjecture is correct.
A black soul path form found in the soul body is very similar to the sorcerer's soul circuit, and judging from the mysterious feedback on it, this is the innate skill of the nightmare soul.
He Luo stretched out his right hand and saw a vortex of black mist airflow appearing on the palm of his hand. There was a faint suction force swallowing the surroundings. The suction force was very weak and could only involve sporadic fluctuations in the soul energy emitted by him.
"It's still far from enough. This level of suction is simply not enough to pull the magician's soul out of his body."
Even after the [exponential explosion] increase, the suction power still cannot be increased in a short period of time.
Perhaps a long-term increase can achieve the effect he wants, but no magician will stupidly wait for him to finish. Once this suction force acts on the target, it will be easily discovered by them.
It seems that the soul body must be digested and a complete soul path obtained before the test can be conducted.
If he could really get the complete talent of Nightmare Soul, then Holo would be equivalent to having an extra soul circuit.
No one has ever seen two soul circuits, and even the anecdotal records of the tower have never mentioned such a shocking thing.
The reason is that the soul circuit is innate. Although the magician can create behaviors later in life, they can never be perfectly accommodated with the soul. From a certain perspective, what is created later can only be regarded as a soul magic formula.
It is more complicated and profound than ordinary soul arts.
When it comes to touching the soul, one careless step can cause contamination, which makes it difficult to advance the progress of the experiment. There has been no successful case for thousands of years.
Furthermore, for most magicians, just activating a soul circuit with all their strength will put a huge burden on the soul. The circuit itself is also overloaded, and a weak control will lead to collapse.
For various reasons, the idea that a soul has two circuits has always been an insurmountable academic gap in the magician world.
It only exists in theory and cannot be practiced in the real world.
Holo's situation now is a coincidence.
The talent activated by the Nightmare Soul itself, under the rules recognized by the world, was devoured by Hero's soul.
If ordinary nightmare souls fail to devour them and are devoured by them, they will not give up and will use all their strength to fight for the last time. Even if the soul body dies, it will cause indelible trauma to the sorcerer's soul.
It was just that this part of Holo's soul was too weak at the time and lost his will directly, which gave Holo the opportunity to take advantage of it.
From that moment on, the Nightmare Soul, unable to move and resist, merged with Holo's soul, allowing him to inherit everything of the Nightmare Soul safely without any burden or side effects.
This is not the work of Helo, but the miracle caused by the unique talent of Nightmare Soul.
From another perspective, it’s a shame that Nightmare Soul didn’t succumb to Helo’s power and didn’t tell him everything before the assessment.
If the Nightmare Soul reveals the details of [Nightmare Swallowing Complete Appearance] at that time, and Hero gets inspiration from it and develops one or two soul magic formulas, he will definitely kill it.
Because the existence of the nightmare soul is a bomb that explodes from time to time for the tower magician. If it is allowed to escape and sneak into the tower, Hero will have to worry about its revenge every day.
So when there is no value anymore, the nightmare soul naturally has no need to exist.
