Chapter 1199: Nabby’s Fall
“The Ulnas Circle Morning Paper”:
Last night at 11:55 PM, a mysterious starlight appeared in the sky…
“Capital Daily”:
After three months, another foreign sub-dimensional entrance reappeared in the night sky…
The Stargazers’ Astrological Society announced that it would begin an investigation of the nascent sub-dimensional entrance as soon as it formed.
The Star Chaser Night Sky Research Association stated that it would take full responsibility for investigating the sub-dimensional matters and asked other wizard forces not to get involved.
...
A night passed, and all sides were restless.
As soon as Noland Lee woke up this morning, he saw reports related to him in all the newspapers of the Ulnas Circle.
Seeing so many wizard forces eyeing his sub-dimensional entrance, Noland Lee wasn’t in the least bit worried.
He knew far more about that sub-dimension than any other person or wizard force.
This confidence stemmed partly from his cooperation with the “Escape” Core of the Plane and partly from last night’s Deconstruction results of the star.
[System Information:]
[You are about to deploy Deconstruction on the “yet-to-form sub-dimensional entrance.”]
[Due to your soul contract with the “Escape” Core of the Plane, the Deconstruction Consumption is reduced to 0.001% of the original amount.]
[You have consumed 100 million Points of Energy.]
[Deconstruction Success!]
[You have obtained the following Deconstruction Results:]
[Name] “Escape” Sub-Dimension
[Type] Sub-Dimensional Space
[Completeness] 0.5%
It is expected that after 120 hours, the completeness of this sub-dimension will reach 10%, and at that time, the entrance to the sub-dimension will appear.
[Function] None at present
Functions will appear once the sub-dimension’s completeness reaches 10%.
[Restrictions]
The temporary owner of the sub-dimension is designated as “Noland Lee Jarvis.” If an outsider claims the Plane Core, the ownership of the sub-dimension will transfer.
(Because your character level and knowledge reserve are not sufficient, you have not obtained more information.)
…
The information gained from Deconstructing the sub-dimensional entrance was limited, but it still provided Noland Lee with the most crucial piece of information—the “completeness” section’s “entrance to appear after 120 hours.”
With this piece of Deconstruction result, Noland Lee could calmly prepare for entry into the sub-dimension without having to incessantly watch the stars in the sky like other wizards.
Fortuitously for Noland Lee, the 120 hours would end perfectly on the morning of the 5th day.
Meaning, it would be daytime.
The sun’s light would overshadow the moon and the stars.
Ordinary wizards would generally lack the ability to accurately locate stars that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye during the day.
Without a ritual array set up in advance with the stars as their focal point, they would inevitably miss the opportunity to enter the entrance when it appeared. noveldrama
Noland Lee didn’t have this concern.
He just needed to watch the time carefully to enter the sub-dimension on cue, without any chance of missing out.
Another factor in Noland Lee’s favor was that the sub-dimensional entrance only had eight entry slots.
These eight slots corresponded to the eight entrances of the maze.
Unless a wizard voluntarily ended the Ground Level ceremony and left the maze, there would only ever be eight wizards entering the labyrinth at the same time.
Last night, when Noland Lee casually mentioned this to the “Escape” Core of the Plane, he naturally thought of a way to reduce the number of competitors.
Early this morning, he instructed Nolin to help him create more ritual arrays.
He would make a separate array for himself, Denise Green, and Selena to enter the maze.
In the most ideal scenario, three out of the eight spots would be his.
So how was he to deal with the remaining five competitors?
Noland Lee already had a plan in mind.
He and Nolin spent two days preparing everything needed to enter the maze.
After handing over the task of checking the preparations to Nolin, Noland Lee entered the Study Room by himself and took out the soul contract he had signed with Nabby.
This soul contract had not yet taken effect, waiting only for Noland Lee to write his demands in the corresponding section, which would make the Contract valid.
After thinking for a moment, Noland Lee didn’t immediately start writing his demands; instead, he took out Letter Paper and drafted an unsigned letter.
The letter was for Nabby.
In the letter, Noland Lee mainly addressed two points.
First, he inquired about how Nabby felt after consuming the Blood Binding Corpse Essence, indirectly hinting at his own identity and origin through this pretext.
Secondly, he reminded Nabby that he was about to write his demands on the Contract, formalizing the soul contract.
This move was to avoid causing any displeasure due to the sudden activation of the soul contract, as Noland Lee intended to cooperate, not extort Nabby with the contract.
After dispatching the letter, Noland Lee waited quietly for three minutes to allow Nabby time to read, then he picked up the pen and wrote a few lines onto the soul contract book.
The pen paused, he released his hold, and the soul contract book floated into the air, turning into a white light screen that split in two, shooting off in two different directions.
Half of the white light screen flew into Noland Lee’s mind, while the other half shot through the clouds and plunged into a crimson star invisible in the daylight.
[Warning! Your soul contract with “Severas Nabi” has officially taken effect!]
Noland Lee quickly and carefully scanned the soul contract panel that opened up.
Yes, the contractor on the soul contract book was indeed the Transcendent Wizard behind the Night Spirit Cult, Severas Nabi.
The bound on Nabby through this contract was very strong.
