Chapter 1203: 379. Misleading Guidance

“Your Blood Magic does indeed have some intriguing uses,” Benjamin Jelani’s head turned from side to side as he surveyed the surroundings:

“I honestly didn’t expect that Clint and I could bypass the limitations of your soul contract this way and enter this Sub-Dimensional Plane that has just recently appeared.”

Clint Windhawk was more silent and reticent, unlike the eloquent Benjamin Jelani.

After giving Nabby’s head a slight nod, he fired white columns of air outward from his mask.

The air columns stretched towards the maze, branching along various passages in different directions.

This was Clint “Wind Hawk” casting a Wind Spell to detect the unique space that the trio were in on a large scale.

...

“This should be a maze,” Clint “Windhawk” said methodically:

“The five ritual arrays that Nabby set up outside just happened to teleport his five avatars here. These five avatars appeared in five corners of the maze. These corners must be the entrances to the maze. Judging from the distribution of the maze entrances, the center of the hemisphere they form is very likely the maze’s exit.”

Clint “Windhawk,” worthy of his title as a Transcendent Wizard who has participated in exploring Sub-Dimensional Planes and Magic Relics numerous times, immediately noticed the pattern of the maze.

Benjamin Jelani had great trust in Clint Windhawk and raised no objections.

Out of the blue, Nabby asked:

“Do you have a way to find the other maze entrances? That mysterious being who told me the time when the Sub-Dimensional Entrance would open might have entered through another maze entrance. We need to avoid it as much as possible.”

Nabby’s tone carried a hint of caution when he said this, as if afraid of being caught red-handed by the “mysterious being” he mentioned.

However, Nabby didn’t see it as a problem even if they were indeed caught.

The ‘Dissolve Blood into Body Technique’ he was using is a very peculiar type of Blood Magic that allows the blending of other people’s blood into his body, and then using his own biological material to create a ‘conjoined’ magical body.

In this magical body, Nabby, Clint Windhawk, and Benjamin Jelani were a trio conjoined, sharing the same body while also retaining some of their Extraordinary Abilities.

This intermingled state became Nabby’s perfect method to circumvent the restrictions of the soul contract.

The downside of this Blood Magic was as conspicuous as its advantages.

Firstly, the Spell Casting Ability of the three conjoined Transcendent Wizards was significantly reduced.

Their combined strength was equivalent to that of a normal Transcendent-level Wizard’s Magic Avatar.

But if this combined strength was divided into three, each taking a third, then their average strength would fall to that of an Eighth Circle Combat Wizard.

This was one of the downsides of the ‘Dissolve Blood into Body Technique.’

Another drawback was that Nabby, who served as the vessel, had to be stronger than both Benjamin and Clint.

In other words, if Benjamin and Clint were to merge their Magic Avatars with Nabby, he would have to use his original body rather than an Avatar.

Otherwise, Benjamin and Clint could take the upper hand and divide Nabby’s Magic Avatar between them.

Thus, the Nabby present in the maze now was in his original form.

If they killed him here, the Ulnas Circle would permanently lose a Transcendent Wizard.

Noland Lee watched the trio’s every move from the shadows, his eyes growing colder and colder.

What cunning deception, such a cold stab in the back; it seems true that none who reach the level of a Transcendent Wizard are easy marks.

Noland Lee targeted Nabby’s head and cast Deconstruction, expending Energy Points to garner the opponent’s Panel Information and Memory Fragment.

After quickly reviewing it, Noland Lee understood the cause and effect of the situation.

To some extent, Nabby indeed fulfilled the obligations of the soul contract.

He, along with Clint Windhawk and Benjamin Jelani, jointly persuaded the other Saint Wizards to give up their plans to explore the Sub-Dimensional Plane. noveldrama

Their persuasion was mostly successful.

Apart from a few Grey Wizards who refused to listen, the rest of the Transcendent Wizards of the Ulnas Circle gave up their plans to explore the Sub-Dimensional Plane out of respect for the trio.

If things had stopped there, Nabby would have been a good Nabby.

But unfortunately, his intentions were impure, and he secretly reached an agreement with Benjamin and Clint for the three of them to conspire to monopolize the Sub-Dimensional Plane.

Upon reading this, a question formed in Noland Lee’s mind.

Logically speaking, as an onlooker, Nabby witnessed the entire process of his Noland Lee eliminating the Binder of Blood corpses’ Essence, so he should be very aware of the strength disparity between them, right?

So why would Nabby still insist on challenging him?

Had Nabby lost his mind?

With that question in mind, Noland Lee continued to read through Nabby’s Memory Fragments.

Well, it turned out that there was indeed something wrong with Nabby’s mind.

Not only did he kill all his Night Spirit Witches, but he also soaked himself in the Blood Pool day and night, his thoughts consumed by bloodlust and slaughter.

It appeared that his will had been contaminated by the Binder of Blood, which prompted his current actions.

His agreement with Clint was simple.

He would be responsible for leading Clint and Benjamin into the Sub-Dimensional Plane, and in return, the two would provide him with high-quality blood to satisfy his ever-growing thirst for blood.

“So it seems Nabby is in a far worse state than what the Assassin Angel estimated,” Noland Lee thought.
