Chapter 1156: 360. Escapee·Noland?
When Noland Lee and Archelon – Demon Bone had signed the Magic Contract, if either party breached it, they must completely lose all their Soul Energy and suffer severe soul trauma, meaning they wouldn’t be able to use any extraordinary abilities related to the soul in a short time.
To ensure that he could still fight after breaching the soul contract, Noland Lee made all the arrangements for what should happen in such an event.
But now, all the preparations were unnecessary!
Because Noland Lee had not suffered the punishment from the soul contract at all!
He indeed had torn up the contract, yet he didn’t lose even a tiny bit of Soul Energy, nor did he suffer any soul trauma!
Moreover, the message sent by the system shocked Noland Lee immensely!
...
[Warning!]
[You have killed “Archelon – Demon Bone”!]
[Your soul contract book with the other party has ended!]
Gone!
Just three lines!
There was no information related to the punishment.
It was as if the soul contract Noland Lee had signed with Archelon was nonexistent, just like air!
What was going on???
A long series of question marks popped out in his mind.
He summoned the System Interface in his mind and started operating continuously.
Firstly, he opened his Personal Panel and checked the “Identity” section.
…
[Identity 13]Contractor of Archelon – Demon Bone (Terminated)
Click on this item to view the details of the soul contract.
…
Noland Lee confirmed the contract had terminated.
His gaze moved down to check his “Soul Energy” and “Status Bar” sections.
The total amount of Soul Energy was unchanged, and the “Status Bar” was clean and dry, with no abnormalities.
His gaze continued downward, “Features” normal, “Skills” normal, “Knowledge” normal.
Everything was normal.
So where was the problem?… Noland Lee’s eyes flickered as he clicked open the soul contract book he had signed with Archelon!
He found the answer!
The problem lay in the signature at the end of the contract! noveldrama
In that moment, Noland Lee realized he might have stumbled upon an incredible bug.
The signature he used was “Noland Lee Jarvis,” the name of this body, not his true name.
Essentially, it was “Noland Lee Jarvis” who had entered into the soul contract with Archelon, not Noland Lee.
Once the contract was destroyed by Noland Lee, it should have been “Noland Lee Jarvis” who suffered the consequences, not him.
Noland Lee took a deep breath, understood the reason, but then became confused again.
If he wasn’t “Noland Lee Jarvis,” therefore shouldn’t be punished by the soul contract, how did he sign the contract with Archelon in the first place?
After the contract was formed, it split in two, turning into beams of White Light, one flying towards Archelon and one towards Noland Lee himself.
This indicated the contract recognized him as “Noland Lee Jarvis”; otherwise, it should have flown towards the real “Noland Lee Jarvis.”
Then, since the contract acknowledged him as “Noland Lee Jarvis,” why wasn’t he punished?
Noland Lee felt utterly puzzled at the moment…
He felt like there were two or perhaps even more bugs hidden in this matter, not just one.
These bugs, combined together, formed a perfect loop, creating the current scenario.
Noland Lee temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind; now was not a good time to think deeply.
With the abilities of the Assassin Angel, He could definitely detect the abnormalities on his person in time.
Someone who should have been punished for violating a soul contract was now safe and sound like nothing had happened.
This definitely wouldn’t escape the eyes of the Assassin Angel.
Previously, shocked as he was, Noland Lee even forgot to pretend to be affected by a soul trauma, and now, it was too late to feign it.
Noland Lee thought for a moment and decided to clarify point-blank with the Assassin Angel:
“Uh, Your Excellency, I’ve encountered some things I can’t comprehend. I haven’t received the punishment from the soul contract, did you help me?”
The Assassin Angel’s response, as always, was calm:
“No, I didn’t do anything.”
Noland Lee feigned a puzzled look:
“Then what is going on?”
The Assassin Angel said,
“I have figured out who the Plane Core behind you is.”
Noland Lee’s gaze sharpened:
“Who is it?”
The Assassin Angel said,
“I observed three important features on you,
“First, you possess the ability to transform technological creations into magical ones. In the history I know of, there are 12 Plane Cores that have this ability to transform across domains.
“Second, your learning speed is extremely fast, almost photographic memory, and as a wizard, you use extraordinary items from a non-magical side with ease, without any barriers. There are more Plane Cores with this ability, but only 7 overlap with the first feature.
“Third, you are immune to the penalties that come with violating a soul contract. This feature is exceedingly rare, so much so that during the 300th Plane Year when the Supreme Star Palace ruled the Universe, there were only two Plane Cores capable of this. Among these two, only one has the first and second features. Of course, other Plane Cores might exist, as I don’t know many.”
Noland Lee asked:
“Which Plane Core is it?”
The Assassin Angel pondered a bit before saying:
“This Plane Core is quite unique; it doesn’t have a uniform designation.”
Noland Lee’s heartbeat quickened slightly.
The Assassin Angel continued,
“For those Plane Cores exiled to Barren Universe by the Supreme Star Palace, it is known as ‘Smuggler,’ the being capable of stealthily bringing the light of the Fire of St. Dylan from the Inner Cosmos to the Barren Universe.
