Noland Lee briefly assessed the appearance of the Nest Core and then shifted his attention to the figures in the Grand Hall.
He saw the two Combat Wizards from the Elemental Judgement, who were having a verbal battle with the others in the Grand Hall.
Samuelson, the infamous Black Crow Lord, appeared in Noland Lee’s sight.
He was no taller than five feet. He had a black bird beak, black feathers, and brownish feet.
He looked miserable and haggard, drenched from head to toe as if just dragged out of the water. Upon closer inspection, Noland Lee noticed that the watery luster on the man was actually the reflection of the light by Aberration’s sticky secretion.
Noland Lee cast a Deconstruction on the man.
[System Message:]
[You are about to use Deconstruction Technique on “Seventh Ring Mind Wizard Samuelson”.]
[Based on your knowledge of psychic spells and the level of related Skills, the consumption of this Deconstruction is reduced from 220,000 to 80,000 points.]
[Warning! Deconstructing this target will cause negative effects on you.]
[The System recommends using Harmless Deconstruction to deconstruct him.]
Noland Lee had deconstructed so many wizards that he had already discovered the relationship between the level of wizards and the consumption of Energy Points.
First Rank Wizard, 10,000 points.
Second Ring Wizard, 20,000 points. 2=1+1.
Third-Ring Wizards, 40,000 points. 4=1+1+2.
Four-ring Wizard, 70,000 points. 7=1+1+2+3.
It was not hard to figure out the pattern:
To Deconstruct an X-Ring Wizard, Energy Points required = 1+(X-1)X/2.
The correctness of this formula was soon verified by Noland Lee.
He shifted his gaze to Scythehead Green, who was standing next to Samuelson, and cast a Deconstruction Technique.
[System Message:]
[You are about to use Deconstruction Technique on the “Soul-stealing Wizard”.]
[It is expected to consume 70,000 points of Energy, but the degree of deconstruction can reach 100%]
[Warning! Deconstructing this target will cause negative effects on you. Please use Harmless Deconstruction to attack its structure.]
70,000 energy points, according to the formula, would be a Four-ring Wizard.
Noland Lee muttered a command, consuming 1000 energy points to launch a Harmless Deconstruction.
The content of the System Feedback confirmed Noland Lee’s speculation.
[Harmless Deconstruction success!]
[You have obtained a small part of the panel information for “Four-Ring Soul-Stealing Death Wizard Ibovik”:]
[Name] Ibovik
[Combat Level] 11
[Identity 1] Follower of the Soul Dominator (Expired)
[Identity 2] Extraterrestrial Space Pollution Product (In effect)
[Identity 3] Four-Ring Soul-Stealing Death Wizard (In effect)
[Feature] Corrupted Soul, others unknown
(Incomplete deconstruction, you couldn’t get more information)
“Corrupted Soul… The situation I was worried about still occurred.”
Noland Lee’s heart sank slightly.
There was indeed a trace of extraterrestrial space pollution behind this incident.
If Noland Lee’s speculation was correct, the polluted Soul-stealing Wizard Ibovik was here to manually trigger the Blood Sun Curse.
And his method of triggering the Blood Sun Curse was none other than to extract Nicolette’s soul and let the Blood Sun Seal completely corrupt the Angel Seed.
“Let me see if there are any Magical Items on Ibovik that could be deconstructed to reveal the soul-stealing spell…”
Noland Lee temporarily put aside the idea of searching for the River of Mind: The Lower Scroll and focused on Ibovik, whose head was a metal scythe.
The man’s body was covered by a loose black robe. His exposed skin was not the light blue color described by Denise Green, nor was it translucent. An indistinct black aura flowed on the surface of his skin, as if he was emitting black smoke.
Noland Lee checked the man’s black robe using Deconstruction. It was an ordinary Death-type magic robe.
If there was nothing special about the robe, then where was the Magical Item that could record the soul-taking spell…
Noland Lee squinted at Ibovik’s Scythehead, focusing on the cracked and dented blade.
Ibovik had no facial features. His neck and head were a hooked scythe extending from inside his body. This was the most extraordinary part of him.
“Can I deconstruct the scythe separately?”
Noland Lee muttered to himself and then cast a Deconstruction Technique.
The System Feedback Message left Noland Lee dumbfounded for half a second, filling his heart with excitement.
[System Message:]
[You are about to use Deconstruction on the “Polluted Scythe of Soul-taking (46 Level)”.]
[The deconstruction result of this item will cause a negative effect on you.]
[It is expected that every 460 energy points consumed can increase the completion rate of harmless deconstruction by 1%]
[Do you want to proceed with harmless deconstruction?]
Noland Lee did the math.
Consuming 46,000 energy points would result in a 100% harmless deconstruction of the Polluted Soul-taking Scythe.
Could he, Noland Lee, afford this expense?
Noland Lee clenched his teeth and muttered:
“Whether it’s for the soul-stealing spell or to figure out the enemy’s methods to eventually save Nicolette’s soul, it’s worth going all in. System, 100% harmless deconstruction of the Polluted Scythe of Soul-taking!”
A wave of dizziness swept through Noland Lee’s mind, and the System sent him loads of deconstruction results.
[Harmless Deconstruction success!]
[Your Harmless Deconstruction of the “Polluted Scythe of Soul-taking (46 Level)” has reached 100%]
[You have obtained the following Harmless Deconstruction Results:]
[1. Target panel information]
[2. Incomplete Manufacturing Blueprint of the Soulstealing Scythe, 31% completeness]
[3. Incomplete magic book “The Body Destined to Decay”, 12% completeness]
Noland Lee brushed aside the first two deconstruction results and immediately called up the third deconstruction result.
