….
In secluded corner of the villa, Jayde is preparing himself for the final procedure.
With the help of potion, he was able to reach the minimum requirements for Breakthrough. Jayden has already memorized the Rank 1 defense spell.
Jayden took the cork out of the Grine water container and looked at it with fascination, He couldn’t control his shaking hands and excitement in his heart.
Finally, the stage he always wanted to achieve. Jayden’s live long fantasy is going to be achieved.
“Thank you Lord Leylin, For bestowing me with such a humongous favor. I shall always be in your dept” Jayden expressed his heart felt gratitude and shoved the content of the container into his mouth.
Suddenly like an explosion, his Spiritual Force started to climb while his vitality was severely effected.
The reason why, it is considered to be better to breakthrough while young is because an old body cannot withstand the toll of forceful advancement like this.
After some time, Jayden was able to advance and his muddled head was cleared. Jayden was suddenly hit by a wave of thoughts as his expression changed between confusion, bewilderment and anger.
Jayden was able to break away from the Curse. He was still not sure why Leylin did what he did, But all he Knew that he entrapped in his scheme.
Suddenly Jayden felt a ferocious presence behind him, He turned to see the Vertically Slit pupils which displayed no emotions.
” Leylin? ” Jayden asked taking a step back. Even though he advanced right now he is at his weakest moment.
“I don’t know what you are planning but you biggest mistake was to give me the chance to advance”
Jayden gritted his teeth and remembered that Leylin also advanced just few days ago, So he cannot be much stronger than him, Right?
The Vertical Slit changed from indifference to mocking, and one can faintly here a sneer sound. Jayden was enraged but before he can do anything thing , a enormous flame attack came his way sweeping him. Jayden saw and felt nothing after that and this became his last view.
…
In his underground laboratory, Leylin was setting up different equipments on a table. In the center of the table was the Fallen Star Pendant.
From the corner of his experiment desk, Leylin picked up a brand new Confining Spirit Sphere. Within it was a man with same visage as Jayden, and looking at Leylin with an expression of anger.
‘ I held very low expectations for it be a successful endeavor. I was quite Luck, This make things easier.’
After mortally injuring Jayden, Leylin experimented on his for days and Tormented him. According to the calculations of A. I. Chip the chances of him becoming a Vengeful spirit was quite low but In the end Leylin succeed.
His research in the spirits was greatly enhanced lately and he made use of every move in his arsenal to attempt this.
The energy waves emitted from this vengeful spirit which was far greater than what an acolytes can hope to achieve.
Leylin’s hand continued to move and dropped a silver liquid onto the Confining Spirit Sphere.
This was the “Dissolving Spirit Potion”. Back when Leylin had specially prepared it for Roman, with only a few drops, Roman would have definitely been shrieking for half a day, and even sustain a severe injury.
As of now, the remainder was used by Leylin here.
“Ah… It hurts, You are going to pay, I will KILL you…!”
The vengeful spirit continued to wail from within the crystal ball. Leylin’s brows had not furrowed the slightest as he continued the movement with his hands.
As more of the Dissolving Spirit Potion was used, the cursing of the vengeful spirit was becoming more and more muffled.
* Sssii! *
The black long needle pierced through the crystal ball, and directly into the chest of the Jayden’s vengeful spirit.
“Argh!” The Jayden let off a hair-raising scream, and his body became blurry. Once he could be seen again, the vengeful spirit that was in front of Leylin’s eyes had taken on a completely different form.
Leylin paid him no heed, before drawing another mysterious magic rune…
The experiment lasted for over a dozen hours and continued the way until the second day before the end was near.
Inside the experiment lab.
Inside a scarlet pentagonal formation, a naked body with bumps through could be seen. The vengeful spirit had been tied down by a metal chain, trapped within the spell formation.
At this moment, although the vengeful spirit looked to be phantom, as if disappearing in the next moment, his face no longer had the craze and hate from before. Instead, there was a Serene expression on it.
Leylin looked at the situation in front of him, his face revealing a satisfied expression. “After a long day, I have finally removed all of the grievances from it!”
“Thank you! Leylin! However, could you release me now?”
Jayden spoke within the formation, his voice indicated no hatred and grieve.
“Are you joking? I spent so much effort to release you from your grievance, not for some gratification!”
After hearing Leylin’s words, Jayden suddenly felt that a calamity was looming over him.
Leylin’s face had only one expression—Apathy! Indifference towards everything!
“A.I. Chip, simulate the start of the experiment!”
The Fallen Star Pendant’s physical and magic defense were both valid for at most 20 degrees. As for any rank 1 spell cast by an official Magus, it would exceed these limits.
[Simulation for experiment over, success rate to be 77.9%.] After a flash of blue light, the A.I. Chip reported a string of data back to Leylin.
Right now, the A.I. Chip could simulate most parts of the experiment and produce the success rate. This meant that as long as Leylin followed the steps given by the A.I. Chip, he could attain the same success rate that was indicated.
As for those magicians who painstakingly gathered ingredients yet not knowing their success rate, the A.I. Chip’s capabilities showed that it could save Leylin a huge amount of resources.
So much so that this capability could even be employed during an advancement.
“First of all, it’s to separate the ingredients for the magic artifact!”
Leylin looked at the other items placed on the platform.
There was Bosain Magical Artifact and The Vengeful spirit. There were also some other refining material that Leylin bought.
Leylin picked up the artifact and placed it within a golden funnel, setting it alight at the bottom.
A golden yellow flame continued to swirl in the funnel, turning the funnel red.
The blazing temperature continued to radiate from the artifact. Once Leylin noticed the change, he began to work on the vengeful spirit.
At this moment, there was a chill permeating the experiment lab.
One could almost hear the wails of vengeful spirits within these four walls.
As for the Jayden’s vengeful spirit in front of Leylin, it had almost lost its human appearance.
“The last step!” Leylin picked up a silver fork and pierced the vengeful spirit’s head through the eyes.
“Pu!”
As if made from some special materials, the silver fork directly pierced through the spirit’s eyeball. He then mixed it into the beaker.
The temperature increased yet again.
Leylin was ecstatic as he placed a transparent beaker below the funnel.
*Pitter-patter**Pitter-patter* The materials formed a strange synergy.
Leylin’s right hand rapidly gathered some powder and jewels and tossed it into the beaker, while his left hand reached for a metal wire and stirred the beaker.
The powder and jewels melted immediately upon entering the beaker.
A dozen minutes later, there were two obvious layers in the beaker. On top was a liquid the colour of flesh, and at the bottom, it was a layer that was pure silver in colour.
…
After being busy for a while, Leylin looked at the several ingredients laid in front of him with a gleeful expression.
The Fallen Star Pendant, has now submerged within a beaker. The beaker was half filled with pink blood with the scent of blood and Wail of spirits.
“Keliesiding Guraweier Alongsuo….”
Leylin chanted an incantation as he made a cut on his finger, dropping a dark red drop of blood into the beaker.
*Bang!*
Once the dark red blood entered the beaker, it immediately had a chemical reaction.
The pink coloured gases continued to rise and the blood began bubbling.
Threads of red liquid continuously climbed onto the Fallen Star Pendant, turning the original silver-grey colour into a dark red colour.
After the blood in the beaker completely evaporated, the Fallen Star Pendant turned into a dark red cross.
“What’s next is to modify the runes inscription!”
Leylin’s expression turned extremely solemn. This was the most crucial step to upgrade the Fallen Star Pendant!
