Chapter 882: 275. Magical Advantage_3
Noland Lee extended his hand to rotate the glass ball, and the operating interface on the wall changed accordingly, proving his words were true.
At this point, Selena was completely dumbfounded; she felt as if her understanding of the world had been turned upside down!
In front of her had appeared an extraordinary device that clearly relied on magical creation to operate, yet was unaffected by the “Soul Stagnation” effect!
“How is this possible…” Selena muttered, her lips quivering slightly.
Noland Lee then took a magic crystal tube from the magic access meter and touched it to the pendant.
Similarly, the magic crystal tube did not cease functioning; it was also immune to the “Soul Stagnation” effect. noveldrama
...
To be thorough, Noland placed the same pendant next to a magic scroll that contained a spell.
The spell on the magic scroll was immediately erased by the pendant’s “Soul Stagnation” effect, rendering the scroll blank again.
Selena’s eyes lost all expression:
“Incredible, we have actually created magical items that are not affected by ‘Soul Stagnation’…”
Noland Lee raised a finger and said:
“I think the facts have already given us the answer. Whether it’s the magic crystal tube or the magic access meter, both are immune to ‘Soul Stagnation.’ I have some theories about the reason behind this phenomenon that you might want to hear.”
Noland Lee put away the pendants and, holding the magic crystal tube, said:
“This object was created by me using the Shaping Energy Technique, that’s true. But the moment it took form, it was no longer influenced by my will. I cannot control it like I would a spell. Apart from dissolving it with a thought, there’s nothing else I can do.”
Noland Lee called up the systems interface in his mind, selected the magic crystal tube he was holding, and clicked the “Dissolve” button on the interface.
The magic crystal tube in his hand flashed white light and then shattered into pieces, returning to a rock and soil energy ball and a lightning energy ball.
“You see. Although the magic crystal tube is my magical creation, I can only command it to dissolve. To use it, we must place it into a designated device.”
“Not being controllable by the will is both a disadvantage and a unique advantage of a magic-operated device. It’s not as flexible as a spell, but it is also not affected by ‘Soul Stagnation’ like one.”
As Noland Lee spoke, he cast “Mold Energy Art” at the two energy balls.
Perhaps because of the presence of two females, his shaping received a mystical boost.
Under the watchful eyes of Selena and Nolin, the two energy balls impressively transformed into brand-new magic crystal tubes.
“Wow, is this the process of shaping magic energy…” Nolin’s eyes widened in awe.
Selena witnessed the smooth and silken shaping process.
Her expression was completely frozen, as though it wasn’t shaping that was unfolding before her eyes but a display of some monumental power by Noland Lee.
The rapidly changing light from the energy balls lit her face intermittently, her pupils shaking violently.
Only when the balls stabilized and turned into the magic crystal tubes, did Selena take a deep breath like someone rescued from drowning and exclaimed in shock,
“Shaping over a hundred million points of magic energy seems like an effortless task for you. Jarvis! What level is your mastery in Shaping Energy Technique?”
“Uh…” Noland Lee touched his nose.
Selena’s reaction seemed a bit over the top… Wasn’t it just shaping over a hundred million points of magic energy? What was so surprising about that…
Vaguely, Noland Lee realized he might have overlooked something.
From Selena’s reaction, even a Saint Shaping Energy Wizard might not be able to shape over a hundred million points of magic energy as effortlessly as Noland could.
The role of the Deconstruction Core System in shaping might far exceed his expectations.
“Let’s not talk about this, we have serious matters to attend to.”
Noland Lee dismissed the distracting thoughts and instructed:
“Nolin, while making the Ability Neutralizing Pulse Projector, also optimize the magic access meter and find a way to use it to control either the magic servant or the Mechanos. As long as we can transform computational power into productive power, then we can start preparing to build an automated assembly line.”
“Yes, Sir,” Nolin replied earnestly, nodding her head:
“I assure you I’ll complete the task as soon as possible.”
“Hmm, good luck,” Noland Lee encouraged her, then turned to look at Selena:
“In terms of managing a magic workshop, your experience is certainly greater than any of us. So, the task of conceptualizing applications for the magic access meter is yours. Until we possess a sub-dimensional plane, this will be our base. We at least have to ensure that Island 33 doesn’t fall because of the Soul Stagnation Field. Of course, I’m not suggesting any distrust of the Deep Sea Branch; I’m just considering the worst-case scenario.”
“Yes, I understand,” Selena said with a hint of apology:
“However, I might have to come help later. Yorksim and his crew have caused quite a stir in the Suman Archipelago. He has been contacting many wizard forces through unofficial means, trying to persuade them to offer their magic stones in exchange for peace with the sea monsters. I’ve been busy these past two days responding to the wizard forces who have been in touch with Yorksim.”
“No worries, Selena. You are still the Deputy Principal of the Deep Sea Branch before you leave, so naturally, your responsibilities come first. It’s alright if you can’t make the time,” Noland Lee responded.
The three of them exchanged a few words and then went about their respective duties.
