Chapter 626 - Spotty’s Crystal
Angor felt his vision going blurry for a moment as he stepped out of the mist together with Sunders.
The first sight that greeted them was several dozens of wizards standing in a line, looking at them with hostile expressions.
Greya was busy dealing with several attacking wizards, while Nausica and the others had been captured and left at one side. An old wizard with a white beard—Qetesh—was preparing to use a powerful mind-reading spell against them, which would undoubtedly damage their brains.
Due to Greya’s effort when she would occasionally throw an attack at Qetesh, Qetesh’s spell had not turned Nausica and her partners into mentally-handicapped victims yet.
Sunders’ arrival changed the tide of the battle almost instantly.
With a simple gesture, countless illusions rose around him, which overwhelmed everyone nearby.
Most wizards immediately stopped moving as their visions were blocked by terrifying illusions. Meanwhile, a flaming Nightmare was galloping through the air, which convinced those who managed to resist the illusions into not doing anything stupid.
The Nightmare was now rushing straight toward Qetesh, while Qetesh could only watch helplessly as the horrifying creature aimed its horn at his heart.
He took a guess that the crystal was something meant to be used on souls. He neither knew why Spotty gave this to him nor could he understand who Spotty was.
Wait…
After killing Hookdick, the puppy “consumed” Hookdick’s corpse. Or rather, Spotty was eating Hookdick’s soul sequence.
Hookdick had been training at somewhere called the “Soul Soil”, which granted him a very weak level of soul sequence. This was probably what Spotty was absorbing.
Angor did not worry too much about the matter because it might be one of Spotty’s strange abilities, about which he could never comprehend anyway.
But this might be a useful clue for figuring out what this crystal was. Could it be that Spotty accepted Hookdick’s soul sequence, which underwent some sort of reaction in Spotty’s stomach and turned into this item?
It was a wild guess, but Angor’s instinct told him that this might be the right way of thinking.
If so, then Spotty could take someone’s law sequence that they gained from Sorcerer’s Gardens and transfer it into a consumable item. This was never heard of in the wizarding world.
A law sequence was a priceless power sought after by all wizards because it could not be gained through talent or effort. One needed extreme luck to obtain such blessing, such as how Angor and Toby somehow gained the sequence of gravity from Sunders’ Gravity Garden.
But Spotty’s ability had completely busted this restriction… on condition that Angor’s guess was correct.
Angor flinched when he imagined how an evil wizard could get his hands on Spotty and hunt for lucky apprentices who received law sequences so that they could forcefully take their gifts away.
No way. There’s got to be limitations. Spotty cannot possibly absorb sequence powers freely.
Isabelle once told him that in Origin World, wizards could freely craft Mystery items and divide them into different ranks. He believed that Spotty might be considered an extremely high-leveled Mystery item in this case.
Then he shook his head to remove the concerns from his mind. It remained to be found out whether this crystal was something related to Hookdick’s soul sequence.
