Chapter 1054: 328. Gourmet Feast_3

But they were expressionless, their eyes lifeless, completely dazed as if they were marionettes on strings.

Nabby snapped his fingers several times and recited an incomprehensible incantation.

The Night Spirit Witches who had just arrived stiffly took out tables and chairs from their magic pouches and arranged them in a circle around the red light orb suspended in the sky.

Like Nabby, they used [Mage’s Hand] to manipulate the utensils, slicing into the red light orb and heartily feasting amidst the flickering candlelight and the fragrance of wine.

Nabby had no emblem of the wizard forces on his person, but these clearly controlled Night Spirit Witches did.

Omar Goddard recognized the origins of this group of witches:

...

“These people are members of the Night Spirit Cult, right? If I’m not mistaken, that’s a wizard power specializing in Blood Magic Power and Death Energy.”

“Yes, you remembered correctly.” Noland Lee retreated dozens of steps, moving away from the feasting crowd, and said:

“These more than 100 Night Spirit Witches should be the core force of the Night Spirit Cult. Even those with the lowest level amongst them have Sixth Ring Strength. But they seem to be dazed, as though they are under someone’s control. What do you think I should do now? Are each of them going to become a Binder of Blood?”

Omar Goddard said:

“That male witch is quite smart. He knew he couldn’t bear the will of the previous Binder of Blood within the corpse essence, so he brought in such a large group to share the mental influence of the former Binder…”

Omar Goddard slowly voiced his speculation.

The Blood Magic Power of Severas Nabby would grow with each meal, but at the same time, the personal will of the previous Binder would accumulate within him.

When the concentration of the previous Binder’s personal will reaches a certain level, Nabby’s mind would be influenced by the other, and he might even completely transform into the former Binder.

If this extreme situation were to occur, it would be akin to the former Binder being reborn within Nabby.

What Omar Goddard wanted to prevent was precisely this situation.

If it came to that, Noland Lee would have to use “Divine power runes” to forcibly eradicate Nabby.

Now, however, Nabby was using his Night Spirit Witches to disperse the former Binder’s will, lightening his own burden.

The Night Spirit Witches could help him erase a portion of the former Binder’s will, while Nabby could draw upon the Blood Binding Corpse Essence within the Night Spirit Witches through Blood Magic.

The Night Spirit Witches were akin to a “Water filter’s” mesh.

Being a filter, they were consumables that are bound to wear out.

This group of Night Spirit Witches, with strength above the Seven-Ring, might eventually be completely consumed by Nabby and transformed into his power.

“The process of Becoming a God is cruel and merciless, often accompanied by the passing of life.” Omar Goddard spoke:

“If the white-haired witch harbors any old affections, he can revive the Night Spirit Witches who sacrificed themselves for him after he becomes the new Binder of Blood.”

“Becoming a God?” Noland Lee frowned:

“But isn’t he a witch? Why does he want to become a Deity?”

“Why can’t a witch become a Deity?” Omar Goddard retorted.

Noland Lee was momentarily speechless.

After pondering for a long time, he finally responded:

“Aren’t we witches supposed to study Deities? If we become a Deity, doesn’t that mean we become the subject of study for witches?”

“What if becoming a Deity is done for the purpose of studying Deities?” Omar Goddard asked:

“Perhaps that male witch’s original intention isn’t to become the Binder of Blood; he is merely studying the process of becoming one. Although his research might lead him to become the new Binder, or even be assimilated by the former Binder.”

Noland Lee fell into deep thought.

He couldn’t agree with Omar Goddard’s words.

Or rather, he completely disapproved.

Just as humans study poultry, one cannot turn oneself into poultry just for the sake of study.

Similarly, when studying Deities, witches must ensure they remain witches, steadfast in their position, and only then are they qualified to explore everything related to Deities.

Otherwise, all experimental results would be biased by the fact that the witch is a Deity, which would greatly hinder the research work.

While he might think this way, it didn’t mean that Noland Lee had the ability to make a change.

After entering this unique space, he had lost all his ability to cast spells, and even his “Basic Attributes” had greatly diminished.

In this situation, aside from using “Divine power runes” to shatter the Red light orb, he was incapable of anything else.

If he wanted to prevent Severas Nabby from becoming the new Binder of Blood, he would have to use “Divine power runes” now.

But…

But how should he deal with the aftermath? If he ruined a Transcendent Wizard’s good fortune – one who had a level exceeding 200 – wouldn’t he, a witch who was only Three-circled on the surface, be left with no way out?

Noland Lee was apprehensive, dearly hoping that Severas Nabby would not appear here; otherwise, the current situation wouldn’t be so tense.

“What do I do now?” Noland Lee asked Omar Goddard for the third time in his heart.

“It’s up to you to decide,” Omar Goddard said:

“The Assassin Angel gave you the ‘Divine power runes’. No matter what choice you make in the end, I will keep my promise, help you break free from the fate shackles of death, and share with you the knowledge and history.”

Omar Goddard’s reward and the reward from the Assassin Angel were two different matters.

The Task given by the Assassin Angel was the assassination of the Binder of Blood.

Only by completing this step, could he obtain the Assassin Angel’s knowledge.

Considering that the Assassin Angel knew more than Omar Goddard, the greatest benefit for Noland Lee would come from continuing the assassination task.

Noland Lee scanned the gluttonous feast beneath the Red light orb and took a deep breath.

Since that’s the case, it was time to act.

Eliminate the Red Light Sphere, and the Task here would be over.

Noland Lee raised his right hand, palm facing the Red Light Orb.

The purple radiance-emitting “Divine power runes” surfaced on his palm, spreading mystic vibrations.

At the same time he made his move, the group of feasting Night Spirit Witches all turned their heads in unison.

The scene fell silent, as all the Night Spirit Witches, including Severas Nabby, stared intently at Noland Lee.

An immense and intangible pressure was instantly placed upon Noland Lee, making even the act of breathing seem like a luxury. noveldrama
