Chapter 148
Etching magic runes on one’s own body was not something that could be easily accomplished!
It required special magic rune ingredients, a Master of Magic Runes who possessed peculiar innate talent, exclusive drawing experience and skill… and not a single requirement could be omitted. However, Greem didn’t have even one of them.
Inside of the Alchemy Laboratory of the Swampy Tower.
The radiance from dozens of illuminating crystals had made the laboratory as bright as day; not a single shadow could be seen. Unlike in the past, Greem didn’t stand in front of the Alchemy Station. Instead, he was lying down on top of the Alchemy Station. Today, he was both the operator and the target of the operation!
He didn’t have any of the special ingredients required for the drawing of magic runes, so Greem could only use the method of crafting golems to carve the magic runes; he couldn’t hire any professional Master Magic Runes, so Greem could only do it himself, drawing on his own body; he didn’t possess any of the experience and skill in drawing magic runes that were passed down for generations, and he was solely depending on the optimized combination and simulated experiments carried out by the Chip in his Spiritual Domain…
Today, it was destined that Greem would become a bull in a china shop, as he would throw every single pot and bottle that represented all of the previous expectations and rules onto the ground and then break a new path that belonged solely to himself.
In a normal process of magic runes drawing, the Master of Magic Runes would usually need the aid of some medicines, so that he could reduce the recovery ability of flesh and blood in a particular region. Every single rune array that functioned properly was composed of hundred and thousand of runes and magical lines. If the target of the drawing was someone with high Physique, before the last line of rune could be drawn, the first line of rune would have completely self-healed.
This would completely destroy the entire process of magic rune drawing!
As the earring was slapped away, Alice immediately sensed it. “Eh, what happened? It is obvious I’m going to succeed this time, why was it slapped away suddenly? Could it be some kind of new defense mechanism? No way, I have to give it another try!”
It wasn’t an accident; the second time, the third time… all of Alice’s attempts were interrupted by some kind of unknown defense mechanism. Instead of giving up, it actually aroused her anger. “What’s all this about? It is obvious that guy is sleeping now. Why there is still such a strange defense mechanism? You’re the one who forced me now!”
Gnashing her teeth in anger, Alice started to move both her arms quickly in midair. She actually unleashed a total of four spatial magic runes at the same time. However, before she had the time to teleport anything through them, all four spatial magic runes that had appeared on different part of Greem’s body vanished at the same time.
Damn it, you’re challenging me right now!
Alice, who had her competitiveness evoked, immediately started continuous and endless attempts, but to no effect. Unsurprisingly, every attempt was interrupted by something or someone. This made her even angrier, and she poured in more effort to try harder.
At the same time, inside of Greem’s room, Mary was seen yawning and stretching her back while moving her fingers to quickly poke the air. Whenever a new spatial magic rune was formed, before it could establish a stable minor spatial tunnel with the other room, it would be instantly broken by Mary’s finger, which had been injected with Blood element energy.
Therefore, unknowingly, Alice had started to play a game of ‘cat and mouse’ with Mary!
