Chapter 1200: Nabby’s Fall_2
If he violated Noland Lee’s demands, revealing his identity to the public, the Essence of the Bloodbinder’s Corpse would leave him.
Such a heavy cost was definitely not something Severas Nabi wished to see.
Severas himself surely understood this as well.
About half a minute after the contract took effect, a Snow-winged Cat brought a letter, the sender being Severas Nabi himself.
One of Noland’s stipulations in the contract was that Severas should contact him promptly through the contact information provided on the contract after it was established.
Noland Lee opened the envelope to check inside.
...
As expected, Severas Nabi was utterly astonished to discover Noland Lee’s true identity as a Third-Ring Wizard.
In his astonishment, he also assured that he would fulfill the task Noland had assigned him in order to successfully complete the soul contract between them.
The task Noland wanted him to do was simple.
Besides ensuring neither party would take hostile actions against the other, Noland only asked Nabi to do one thing:
He gave him the exact point in time when the Sub-dimensional Entrance would be opened.
Nabi was required to activate all the ritual arrays under his control as soon as the Sub-dimensional Entrance opened, securing his entry into the maze, and then stay put.
Of course, to ensure his own side could enter smoothly, Noland gave Nabi a time point slightly later than the real one.
In an ideal scenario, 8 slots in the maze would all end up in Noland’s pocket, allowing him to calmly search for the exit of the maze.
But Nabi’s mission did not end there. He also had to continually provide information about the movements of other Transcendent Wizards to Noland, trying to find various excuses to prevent Transcendent Wizards from sending their Magic Avatars into the maze.
Only when Noland had taken root in the Sub-Dimensional Plane and the Dusk Giant Omar Goddard had completed the stabilization would Nabi’s mission end.
Everything was within Noland Lee’s plan.
The only possible downfall for Noland was during the phase when the Dusk Giant was helping to stabilize the Sub-Dimensional Plane.
At that time, Noland could only cower within the Sub-Dimensional Plane, incapable of taking any action against the outside world.
If a Transcendent Wizard attacked, he could only passively take the hits.
This situation would continue until the Dusk Giant completed the modifications of the Sub-Dimensional Plane.
Noland briefly considered and decided to talk to the Dusk Giant again to avoid any mishaps three days later.
…
…
Sub-Dimensional Plane, Frost Hair Blood Ring.
This place is the main camp of the Night Spirit Cult, controlled by Severas Nabi.
The Night Spirit Magicians are famously known among the Realm of Wizards for their fondness for bats and their love of drinking blood.
Alongside these eerie hobbies spread the seductive allure and temptation of the Night Spirit Witches.
The Wizards who had the fortune to visit the Frost Hair Blood Ring often said it was a paradisiacal place set in a snowy landscape.
The stunning snowscapes along with the snow-pale skin were enough to make any Wizard without sufficient self-control linger and forget to return.
However, whether it was the gentle embrace of a Night Spirit Witch or the heated snowfield hot spring, all of this had now become a thing of the past.
Since Severas Nabi had obtained the Essence of the Bloodbinder’s Corpse, the Frost Hair Blood Ring had transformed.
A deep, dark, bloodthirsty desire rapidly grew in Nabi’s mind.
He thought of devouring flesh and blood at every moment, of moistening his throat with warm fresh blood, and even yearned to bathe continually in a basin of fresh red blood.
He needed fresh blood to nourish himself so every pore in his body could imbibe the Blood Magic Power from the Night Spirit Witches.
He killed all the Night Spirit Witches, all of them, just to satisfy his own craving for blood.
The entire Frost Hair Blood Ring had turned from snow-covered lands into a hell on Earth, filled with indescribable bloodshed and sin.
Severas Nabi indulged day by day in a blood pool, gradually transitioning into a muddled blood servant.
One day, the Essence of the Bloodbinder’s Corpse which he had ingested would turn him into a Walking Dead.
In his haziness, he felt a will awakening within him.
It was an overwhelmingly powerful, profound, and dark force, like a dagger passed down from ancient times, brutally stabbing into Nabi’s heart.
Unless this “dagger” was pulled out, Nabi’s craving for fresh blood would grow more intense.
But if the “dagger” was removed, it would cause a wound gushing blood, greatly weakening Nabi’s Strength, and he might even become an Ordinary Person with incapacitating injuries.
A letter from an unknown sender had slightly restored Nabby’s consciousness.
He barely kept awake, and after reading the content of the letter, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he saw a glimmer of hope!
It was from the mysterious being who helped him obtain the Essence of the Bloodbinder’s Corpse!
The other party had written to him!
Nabby suddenly realized that he might be able to use the other’s help to suppress or remove the effects of the corpse’s essence on him.
After waiting a few minutes, a white light penetrated the barrier of the sub-dimensional plane, entering the chaotic Frost Hair Blood Ring and shooting into Nabby’s mind.
Nabby’s expression became puzzled, followed by distress and contemplation.
He was puzzled why the being with whom he had made a soul contract would act in the capacity of a Third-Ring Wizard.
What distressed him was that all his Night Spirit Magicians had been killed by him, turning into scattered corpses and blood.
Given the current situation, where could he find someone capable of assisting the mysterious existence in setting up the ritual array?
Facing the demands of the soul contract, Nabby fell into deep contemplation.
Unfortunately, for someone like him, deeply tainted by the essence of the corpse, moments of clarity were always brief.
Within ten minutes of achieving the soul contract, the craving for fresh blood once again overwhelmed Nabby’s will, and he sank back into the foul-smelling blood pool.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
…
…
Noland Lee sat in his study for a while, not receiving a letter from Nabby.
“I guess collecting a Transcendent Wizard isn’t something that can be done quickly. I’ll give him some more time…”
Thinking this, Noland Lee got up from his chair and went to Underground Layer 2 to study magic.
Besides shaping power and creating Mechanos, Noland Lee was also monitoring the situation in Revival City.
After Wizards from the Earth Vein Pillar and the Metal Wizards from the Ulnas Circle intervened in the repairs of the railway tracks, Noland Lee did not dare to continue using Mechanos to destroy the tracks.
With the united efforts of the Wizards, the damaged tracks were quickly repaired. Simultaneously, the huge void under the tracks was filled by the Earth Vein Pillar Wizards using Earth Rock Magic.
The railway to Revival City was put back into use, transporting people day and night to Revival City, situated on the Empire’s frontier.
Those who arrived at Revival City first settled within the city.
Those who arrived later and found no accommodations in the city went back out and occupied the nearest land to the urban area, setting up their own tents.
Now, standing on the walls of Revival City and looking outwards, one could see a vast array of canvas tents stretching from the wall to the horizon’s end, seemingly endless.
Suddenly, Revival City had an overwhelming supply of labor.
Morster said that now there are 40 construction sites in and around Revival City, all for residential areas and public facilities.
Projected to increase the population of Revival City to 1.5 million people within as little as two months or up to six months at most.
When Noland Lee learned this news, he could only wish them good luck.
According to the information deconstructed from Lamont, once the population of Revival City reached 1 million, the Undead Cult would initiate their sacrifice plan.
Basing on the rate of population growth, by that time, Noland Lee should be constructing his own Sub-Dimensional Plane.
Once the Sub-Dimensional Plane was complete, and he secretly entered the Natural World, Revival City would likely be gone, replaced by the impressive Pollution Zone, “Steel Forest of the Dead World.”
Noland Lee sighed, shook his head, dismissed the distractions, and focused on shaping magic.

“Gurgle, gurgle…”
“Splash—” noveldrama
After swallowing blood for a while, Nabby’s inner bloodlust diminished.
He surfaced from beneath the water, barely maintaining his clarity.
Reading the letter and contract from the mysterious being again, a bold but potentially highly profitable idea emerged in his mind.
A sinister smile spread across Nabby’s lips.
