Chapter 288 – Battlefield of Consciousness
Chapter 288 – Battlefield of Consciousness
Saul had decided on the last target for “Observation History”, but since Algae couldn’t enter his consciousness platform, he didn’t rush this step first.
Saul put away the diary, and walked towards the four still dazed consciousnesses.
As he moved, the platform under his feet changed shape.
It gradually changed from the original gray round stone platform. The color, material, and shape were all different from the original.
The foot became a light-colored marble tile pattern with veins.
One of the floors extended upwards, quickly forming a black flat plate.
One side of the plate was very smooth, clearly reflecting the appearance of several consciousnesses.
The four looked at the flat plate in front of them and wondered what the hell it was.
But Saul knew that it was a screen that he had materialized.
The next moment, two words appeared on top of the screen.
Resurrection.
The clothes on Saul’s body also changed in light and shadow, and when the change was over, the clothes on his body changed from the most common sorcerer’s apprentice robes to a white coat.
I was under the impression that smart people dressed like this.
He curled his index finger and tapped it on the screen.
“Next study proper.”
“I’m currently majoring in dark attribute sorcery, soul direction. Known future topics are definitely related to resurrection.”
When the four people heard the word “resurrection”, different complex emotions surged in their hearts.
They, the conscious spirits, were actually the more fortunate dead.
As undead, how could they not aspire to resurrection?
However, even if it was just death, it was still a field that could only be accessed by sorcerers of the fourth rank and above.
And there wasn’t a single fourth-order sorcerer in the entire western continent.
The top one is a third-order, and it’s still the kind of third-order sorcerer that doesn’t have any big power behind it, and it can only be powerful in the western continent. Facing Golza who had a powerful family behind him, he also had to be careful.
Saul gave the four people a few seconds to digest, then he continued, “Of course, this subject may not be completed in our lifetime. That’s why this is only our final subject, and we can’t relax in our other learning and development.”
As Saul spoke, the text on the screen changed.
Spirit Body Attack.
Saul continued, “Spiritual body attack is the direction I intend to mainly research next. After all, it’s pretty much my most powerful tool at the moment, and it’s also the sorcery I’ve studied the most comprehensively.”
Next, a curly bracket appeared after Spiritual Body Attack.
Two words appeared in the upper part of the curly bracket.
External.
“I now have two initial thoughts on this aspect of the attack. One is external.”
Saul stretched out his two hands. In front of the crowd, his hands gradually became transparent. Then it extended and deformed, turning from human hands to octopus tentacles.
“Externally, it’s turning my spiritual body that can stretch and change into a weapon to directly attack the enemy’s soul.”
The word “internal” appeared on the screen again.
Saul looked at those two words and paused for a moment before continuing, “The word “internal” may be a bit imprecise. I’m planning to pull the enemy’s soul in.”
“What?” Agu and Morton exclaimed almost simultaneously.
On the contrary, Angela, who hadn’t gotten a name yet, and Herman, who hadn’t studied spirits that much, looked on in bewilderment.
“I’ve actually done this sort of thing before.” Saul looked at Morton, “It was after establishing the consciousness platform that I defeated Mr. Morton who had turned into an evil spirit at that time. So when this consciousness platform is fighting against an enemy whose overall strength is stronger than mine, but whose spirit and soul are not as strong as mine, can’t I also pull the other party right in and beat them up?” Morton spoke first, he didn’t mind about Saul once defeating Chaos himself, “If master’s idea can be accomplished, a first-order sorcerer coming in will definitely not be master’s opponent. If you meet a second-order sorcerer with a slightly weaker soul power you will probably lose to you as well.”
Although the Morton at that time was also a full-fledged second-order sorcerer, he had already been dead for many years, and the evil spirit he had changed into was crippled, so he could no longer be considered a second-order sorcerer.
After Morton was in favor of it, Agu came out to discourage it “But master, no one has ever done that before. Pulling other people’s souls and consciousnesses into one’s own spirit body is a very dangerous act.”
He seemed to be afraid that Saul would take a chance and continued, “A person’s consciousness world is actually very fragile, usually only sorcerers majoring in souls who hold the idea of dying together will pull people into their own consciousness worlds for a final struggle.”
Saying this, Agu suddenly realized that this consciousness platform of Saul’s was not simple.
Not to mention the inexplicably weird starry sky above his head, not to mention this stone platform under his feet that can be changed at will, not to mention the magical diary in his master’s hand that can forcefully remove pollution and restore the consciousness of the spirit body …… Just to say that Saul’s consciousness form that can be changed at will is something that even a lot of formal sorcerers can’t do.
Thinking of this, Agu changed his words, “Of course, master is not an ordinary sorcerer. The diary in your hand has the ability to forcibly collect the consciousness of others.”
He sighed in his heart, “But for safety’s sake, don’t pull in the consciousness of a second-order sorcerer as a last resort. When sorcerers reach the second order, their self-awareness is already very strong, and they also tend to prepare means in advance to defend against enemy attacks against their spiritual bodies.”
Sol nodded, Agu had a point.
Both Agu and Morton were once second-order official sorcerers, their experience and opinions were valuable.
But Saul was not discouraged, his consciousness platform was very solid with the diary as a locator. And the diary’s limit could never be more than a second-order sorcerer.
But there was no need to explain all this to them in detail.
“I understand. The current method of using the consciousness platform to fight is still just a conception, and we haven’t even solved the most basic problems yet. The difficulties we encounter in the future will also have to be dealt with one by one.”
Hearing Sol say this, everyone knew that he was already determined to turn the consciousness platform into a consciousness battlefield.
Looking at the tense looks of several people, Saul said expressionlessly, “For now, we can study the previous steps first. Attacking other people’s spirit consciousness externally.”
“I’m going to fuse the Soul Tentacle,” Saul shook his octopus tentacle, indicating that this was the Soul Tentacle he was talking about, “with the 2nd-order Sorcery Abusive Touch that I’m learning. I wonder if anyone has any experience or opinions on this?”
After saying that, Saul’s two octopus tentacles entangled together.
Other people’s hands on their chests were crossing both arms once or twice, he was doing it a dozen times.
The one who spoke first this time was still Agu, as the former librarian of the Wizard Tower, he actually had very rich theoretical experience.
“Abusive Touch is also a dark attribute sorcery, but it mainly causes damage to one’s physical body through the dark attribute, if the master wants to add Soul Touch to it, he can turn the damage attribute into physical body plus soul. But before that, we first need to resolve the mutual exclusivity of the two sorceries ……”
Agu had just said this when his feet suddenly shook.
He hastily stopped his words and looked at Saul in shock, only to find that Saul was also looking around unexpectedly.
“Is it time?” Agu asked carefully.
“Maybe.” Saul was naturally the first to feel the instability of space.
He had been on the consciousness platform for a long time now, far longer than the last time, which was more than satisfactory.
But it was a bit of a bummer to be forced to abort the brainstorming just halfway through.
“Agu, Morton, Herman, and An……,” Saul said, pausing halfway through, the newborn fused soul-consciousness with Angela’s face hadn’t yet given himself a name.
The other three were called by name and all changed back to black pages to return to their journals.
The only remaining girl stood still, and suddenly, she smiled.
“Just now I had been thinking about what name to give myself, and it wasn’t until my master called me that I realized. In fact, no matter what name I’m called, I’m still me, and my essence won’t change.”
Her index finger rubbed along the line of her lips, “Since my master called me that, maybe it’s fate.”
“I will be called Ann from now on.” She walked up to Sol, leaned her body forward slightly, raised her chin, and beamed, her large eyes brimming, “Thank you master for the name~”
