Chapter 859: 268. The soul is mine_2
He had served as the family’s secret guard for so many years, having seen too many negotiations with the enforcement wizards, that he could be considered an expert on the matter. noveldrama
As long as he had the chance to catch Noland Lee Jarvis red-handed, the latter would have no place to bury his body.
“Click, click…”
The family secret guard’s frustration intensified, and a very faint noise could be heard coming from his mental protection pendant.
The family secret guard grasped the pendant tightly, and his face underwent a sudden change:
“Damn it! It’s a mental magic spell of a Saint-level mastery!”
...
“Click, click, click…”
The mental protection pendant emitted continuous clicking sounds.
One after another, fine cracks appeared on the polished white gem’s surface.
Intense pain shot into his mind as if something were stirring his brain matter.
“You damned bastard! You’re a Saint-level mind wizard! You’ve deceived the deep-sea wizards sent to detect you! You’ve colluded with Selena to deceive us! You damned Saint-level mind wizard, how dare you tamper with the results of a detection spell! I’ll report you to the Wizard Enforcement Department! I’ll make sure you won’t die a peaceful death!!”
Withstanding the pain in his mind, the family secret guard manipulated the magic pen, writing characters:
“Even if I die! I will pass on your secret to the Wizard Enforcement Department and the Pangula family! You just wait!”
With a voice hoarse from exertion, the family secret guard fought like a trapped beast, as if trying to force Noland Lee to stop casting.
He wrote the letter swiftly, but Noland’s response was even quicker.
“Buzz…”
The stone ball suddenly began to tremble violently!
“Pffft!!!”
The family secret guard was struck in the body by an invisible vibrating force, coughing up blood, with bloodshot eyes.
In a panic, he summoned layers of rock shields to protect his body and cast spells like “Stone Skin Technique” and “Petrified Body”, transforming himself from inside out into a stone man.
But.
It was useless.
“Buzzing incessantly…”
The continuous low-frequency vibrations penetrated the stone ball and struck the family secret guard directly.
Eerily twisted cracks quickly spread across his petrified body.
“Click, click, click, bang.”
The petrified body broke into pieces, scattering on the ground.
The protective stone ball cracked and crumbled, with shattered rocks flying and dust scattering everywhere, instantly transforming from rock to earthy brown mana, disappearing into the grey mist of the Lost Sea Fog.
The family secret guard desperately channeled his mana to reassemble his fragmented petrified body.
He barely managed to stand up, only to collapse onto the stone tablet, clutching his head and screaming in agony.
“Click, click, click…” The mental protection pendant cracked faster.
Take out the “Stillness Collar” from your magic pouch and put it on yourself,” Noland’s voice echoed in the family secret guard’s mind.
“Don’t think you’ll succeed,” the family secret guard endured the pain and sneered defiantly:
“Since you’re not killing me, you must be in need of something from me…
“Hehehe…
“You better show yourself in front of me for a proper talk, instead of skulking around like you are now…
“My mental protection pendant is of Saint-level, capable of actively restoring the strength of the ‘mental shield’. Even with your Saint-level mastery of mental magic, you won’t be able to take my life.
“The vibration spell you just cast is quite unique, but so what? I can turn into a mist of sand, and then you’ll have no way to deal with me.”
With those words, the family secret guard exploded with a bang, turning into a fog made up of countless grains of sand.
Transforming into sand fog was a perfect conduit for vibrations, thus avoiding all attacks using wind energy to create sound waves.
Likewise, fire wizards turn into flames, water wizards into mist, and thunder wizards into lightning, to counteract the “Sonic Blast” spell.
With such a formidable spell like “Sonic Blast”, there was a perfect countermeasure, so needless to say for other spells of a similar principle.
For this reason, sound wave magic had always been an anemic existence in the realm of wizards.
It was only because Noland had caught him off-guard just now that the family secret guard suffered under “Sonic Blast”.
If the opponent had been prepared, he would have transformed into a sand fog like he did now, becoming immune to “Sonic Blast”.
The family secret guard’s pendant was a rare Saint-level one, enchanted to actively restore the shield’s strength known as “mental shield”.
After the family secret guard imbued it with soul energy, the pendant provided a mental shield whose rate of recovery per second was only about 10 points less than the damage per second of Noland’s “Psychic Bombardment”.
Noland would have to spend at least two or three days to kill the opponent with “Psychic Bombardment”.
Since “Psychic Bombardment” proved minimally effective and “Sonic Blast” was immune, it seemed that Noland’s options were limited.
The family secret guard did not know how many more tricks Noland had up his sleeve, but seeing him fall silent, he knew he was most likely safe from harm.
He snickered triumphantly:
“Hehehe, lowly First Rank Wizard, is that all you can do? Come on! Make your move! Let me see what else you’re capable of, aside from mental magic and your quirky vibration spell!”
The family secret guard looked around, sensing several figures approaching from under the water.
Each of these figures appeared to be Noland Lee Jarvis.
“Empty bluster…” the family secret guard said with a cold laugh:
“Let me show you a Holy Rank Spell, you ignorant First Level Wizard. You probably don’t even realize who you’re dealing with!”
The sand fog into which the family secret guard had transformed began to spin rapidly, scattering a great deal of earthy brown light.
Every space swept by the light changed from the greyish fumes into a scene filled with earthy brown hues of a Sub-Dimensional Plane.
