Chapter 394 – Soul Extraction

Chapter 394 – Soul Extraction
“What’s the gray? For Byron to voluntarily leave this word on his quill?”

Saul pondered woodenly as he flew down.

He returned to his quarters and immediately lifted his compressed traveling bag and pushed out the door.

“The gray …… matter is what Senior Byron and I have recently shared contact with. Could it be that he found something abnormal in the gray matter. But just that shouldn’t have attracted a sneak attack from a strong enemy. Unless he studied the gray matter and also told the one who harmed him, and that the gray matter would have some kind of important effect.”

Saul walked briskly up the ramp and then up the bend.

Two first level apprentices were descending from the top in a group, offering to get out of Saul’s way when they saw him, but were too nebulous to make a sound.

Saul had been squinting slightly since he left the dormitory, looking as uninspired as if he hadn’t woken up.

At this moment, he passed by the two apprentices, and his pupils only moved slightly for a moment, and then quickly returned to their places, seemingly looking down on the two.

Seeing that he didn’t pay any attention to him at all and quickly left, the two first level apprentices also breathed a sigh of relief and accelerated their steps towards the next level.

However, they were unaware that Saul had long been carefully observing their mental fluctuations through semi-immersive meditation.

“The mental fluctuations are high in frequency, but not much magic power is escaping. They’re nervous, is this using low-level apprentices to spy on me?”

Sol arrived at the floor of Byron’s dormitory, but immediately looked at the several nearby dormitories.

Just as he stepped into the corridor about the same time, Byron’s neighbor on his left opened the door and came out.

He froze at first when he saw Saul, but nodded his head in greeting.

Although he was also a third level apprentice, he was also the type of person who borrowed others’ positioning formulas to advance. With average talent and average strength, he belonged to the category of people who could only give a hand to their mentors or other powerful third level apprentices.

Sol narrowed his eyes and looked over, realizing that the other party’s spiritual energy was well collected.

However, it didn’t matter.

Who let you happen to come out of the room when I came over?

Everywhere you go someone happens to pass by.

These coincidences are too coincidental, aren’t they?

Saul took a direct side step, blocking his way out of the way.

“Does senior live next door to Senior Byron?”

“Uh, yes.” The other party was flustered for a moment.

“I have something to see Byron-senpai.”

“Uh, he seems to be out and about. I saw him leave today with his traveling bag.”

Sol smiled, “I know. But I want to look for Senior Byron first when he returns ……”

“So, then if I see him coming back, I’ll go inform you?”

“Don’t bother.” Saul held up the compressed traveling bag he was holding and shook it, “I’ll just move into your room.”

The third level apprentice across from him immediately froze.

But Saul didn’t even give him a chance to retort.

He directly pulled the other party’s sleeve and pressed his hand against the door handle.

“Open the door.”

This third level apprentice had been completely stunned by Saul’s maneuver.

“But, but ……”

“You can just find a new room to stay in, and all the corresponding supplies can be picked up at the registration room, just put it on my account.”

“But I have no intention of moving-” the third level apprentice was still about to refuse, but when he saw Saul’s eyes a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.

He was shocked to realize that the Saul in front of him had changed his appearance.

The other party’s height elongated, his forehead bone widened, and his skin turned from gray to waxy yellow.

All the new features were so familiar ……

The other party actually turned into his own appearance before his own eyes, little by little, little by …… little!

“Now go to the registration room to find a new room. Or, I use another way, substitute, for, you, live, in, go.” Saul’s voice also lowered a little bit, and finally became the voice of this third level apprentice himself.

This third level apprentice’s legs went weak for a moment, and if it wasn’t for Saul still pulling his arm, I’m afraid that he would have already sat down on the ground at this point.

He was completely unable to take his eyes off the face across from him, but under Saul’s pressure, he could only open the door stiffly and forcefully.

As soon as the door opened, Saul let go of the third level apprentice’s arm and walked directly into the other party’s dormitory.

And that third level apprentice could only watch Saul go in, and immediately modified the room permissions.

“Bang!”

The door closed in front of him, and the third-level apprentice silently turned around and walked towards the East Tower like he was sleepwalking.

“I… I need to change quarters, and yes, if there is a fee, it can be put on Sol’s tab.” He repeated the words in his mind over and over again as he took a muddled step forward.

Saul didn’t care if the man outside went to the registration room to change dorms first, or to Rokai to report what had just happened to him.

As soon as Saul entered his new dormitory, he immediately looked around.

“There’s nothing valuable. It looks like that apprentice will usually stay mostly in the lab.”

A silver butterfly fluttered out of Sol’s eyes and landed on his right shoulder.

“Brother Thor, why didn’t you just let me erase this memory of his?”

Just before entering the door, Saul had released permission for Penny to cooperate with him in blurring the other party’s consciousness.

If he refused to compromise even in the end, Saul wouldn’t mind directly helping him change his identity.

“There’s no need.” While taking out a piece of sorcery material and props from his compressed traveling bag, Saul said to Penny, “No matter how covertly I do what I’m doing to enter this dormitory, I’m bound to be found out by Rokai, who’s keeping a close eye on me.”

“Since I saw them leaving with Byron, it’s impossible for Rokai to let his guard down on me. Instead of acting covertly in layers and making them even more wary, it’s better to be straightforward and instead put them at ease a little.”

After saying that, Saul picked out a few materials that he could use at the moment and dumped them on the long table in the room.

The long table of this third level apprentice was clean.

Sol quickly handled the materials, and then picked up a dangling brush from the table.

He spread out his left hand, palm up.

The skin on the palm of his hand automatically split open a wound that was a full three centimeters long and a centimeter deep.

Bright red blood gushed out from the wound. However, the blood only went as far as overflowing the depression in the palm of his hand and stopped spilling out.

He then went to the equally clean and tidy front room, and with a brush, dipped in his own blood began to draw sorcery spells on the ground.

The silver butterfly flew up and asked, somewhat incredulously, “Brother Saul, what are you doing?”

“Drawing a soul extraction spell formation. This room is the closest to Senior Byron’s room, just enough to cover his dormitory.”

This spell formation had already been drawn several times by Saul and was lightly familiar with it.

It was just that this time the situation was urgent, and he didn’t have the time to slowly configure the materials for drawing the spell formation.

However, his blood could also store special magic power after the secondary witch body transformation, so it could be used for emergency purposes now.

He quickly drew the spell formation for soul extraction, then placed the corresponding sorcery materials at the corresponding nodes, and finally put enough magic crystals at the place of energy supply.

After putting down the remaining materials, Saul shook his palms to let the wounds heal, then stood in the center of the spell formation.

“Senior Byron, since you were able to hold on alone in the corpse room for more than ten years, and dared to incorporate evil spirits into your body to enhance the strength of your soul in order to be promoted to a full-fledged sorcerer, how come you shouldn’t have died like this. It doesn’t matter even if only the soul is left …… Let me coalesce the fifth black book page, and we’ll take revenge together!”

Saul closed his eyes as his mental body began to vibrate, and a large amount of magic power surged into the spell.

The blood-colored spell formation instantly rose up in pale flames, these flames were like flowing liquids that flowed throughout the entire sorcery spell formation, the tongues of fire stretched out in all directions, lightly blazing the items around them without igniting a single thing.

A few scattered fragments fell into the spell, but none of them were the soul of Senior Byron.

As time passed, the magic power supporting the spell ran out a little, and the flames inevitably began to shrink.

The expression on Sol’s face also changed from seriousness to incredulity.

“No spirit body?”

“Why is it so clean?”

“Did the person who did it not even spare the soul? Then there should be soul fragments too!”

As Sol waited anxiously and unwillingly, the white fire eventually grew smaller and smaller until it died out.

But in front of him, not a single black book page was generated.

Saul’s hands slowly dropped.

“Brother Saul …… ” Penny hovered in front of Saul, and her voice became cautious, “Why don’t I go and try to enter that what’s-her-name Rokai’s dream world and check out what they’ve done? ”

“No need!” Saul, however, suddenly opened his eyes, “He must have a full-fledged sorcerer around him at all times to supervise him, and with your currently recovered strength, it’s easy to get yourself trapped.”

Penny, however, realized that the frustration on Saul’s face was suddenly swept away, and there was even a hidden light in his eyes.

“Brother Saul, are you alright?” Penny’s voice was more careful, it was afraid that Saul was so angry that he was going to open up regardless!

The corners of Saul’s mouth, however, gradually rose.

“Too clean.”

“What?” Penny wondered.

“I mean, Senior Byron’s room …… is too clean!”
