Chapter 29: The Book of Sin

Through the arched window half-hidden by the woven curtains, the crimson moonlight flowed down like a moon river, reflecting the hidden, deep, complex, and uniquely constructed six-pointed star magic array on the ground.

"It's beautiful, and it's the beauty of the rules......"

Levi leaned against the window wall, observing this magic array through the moonlight like water, and let out a heartfelt sigh.

This "soul home", with the Star of David as the main body, the inner magic ring as the center, the star and moon emblems, secret symbols, divine prayers, magic spells and other scattered distribution, the basic elements are complex but orderly, condensed into a secret and powerful rule force, like mountains and seas, unfathomable.

"The one who created this 'soul home' is the real genius. Levi nodded, convinced.

When drawing this "soul home", he finally controlled his hand, only giving Vincent his hand, and never making a crazy temptation on the edge of danger.

"The effect of the soul's destiny is really 'deception' and 'deception'. Chewing on a mint leaf in his mouth, Vincent carefully instructed, "It is the instinct of every soul fragment to return to the soul body, and the effect of soul destiny is to disguise your soul fluctuations so that they treat you as the soul body. ”

"Deceived souls?" said Levi, amazed, "a clever idea, very creative, and unconventional. ”

"However, there is one thing that needs to be clarified, soul destiny can disguise your soul fluctuations, but it cannot disguise soul strength. Vincent paused and added.

"Soul strength?" Levi looked puzzled, he was a little stunned.

"The higher the level, the stronger the strength, and the stronger the soul strength. Vincent spat out the mint leaf, which had lost its flavor, and explained carefully, "In short, the soul fragments you can attract are of a similar grade to yours. If you want to attract soul fragments from top powerhouses, you have to let your own soul grow to that level first. ”

"Understood. Levi nodded, drawing inferences, "To use an inappropriate analogy, if I want to attract dragon soul fragments, I have to make my soul strength comparable to that of a giant dragon. ”

"That's pretty much it......" Vincent listened to the metaphor with a strange expression.

"What, I said the wrong thing?" Levi was a little confused.

"No, it's just that the analogy is too appropriate. Vincent shook his head and said with a wry smile, "One of our Corinthian elders captured a dragon soul fragment and used it to build a new spell model called 'Hades Breath'. ”

"Breath of the underworld, let's hear it!" Levi was very interested, and immediately asked.

"Hades breath", just hearing the name is full of pressure, he is very sure, this spell is absolutely extraordinary.

Levi guessed correctly.

"I've only seen it once, but it's scary, pretty scary. Vincent remembered something, and his face palpitated, "It was a 'long river of death', composed of tens of thousands of pale spirits, and the way to kill and injure was very simple, it was a simple and pure 'drowning'. ”

"Drowned?" Levi narrowed his eyes.

Vincent nodded, his voice trembling slightly: "When the long river of death recedes, the corpses left behind have no scars, but they are extremely pale, almost transparent, even the lips and eyes are white! ”

"Is it a long river of death?" Levi listened to his detailed description, and his heart palpitated.

can make the necromancer in front of him who uses the corpse as a building block have a psychological shadow, which shows the weirdness and horror of the spell!

Of course, this relayed story does not bring a shadow to Levi, on the contrary, it makes him have more longing.

Although he also knew that his soul strength was still far from that level, and even if it reached that strength, dragon soul fragments were unattainable, and he might never encounter them in his lifetime.

However, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?

Levi was looking forward to it.

After the handover was completed, Vincent did not linger and left in a hurry. He still has a lot of ideas and inspirations in his head, and he wants to continue to deeply transform Night Terror, and he will not be satisfied with minor repairs.

Levi couldn't wait, too.

"Let me experience ......"

He sat in the center of his soul's home, slowly adjusting his breathing, turning his soul into a deep sea vortex, turning and whirling, channeling the arcane energy above the dome and "calling" to the soul fragments in the void.

Li Wei meditated quietly, his expression indifferent.

"Huh?"

There was a slight ripple on his calm face.

In Levi's soul perception, the arcane energy was like a golden waterfall falling straight down, but in the turbulent water curtain, there was a striking deep ruby suspended in it, which was a soul fragment.

"It's good luck to ...... so quickly"

Levi held his breath and condensed, adjusting his soul state, constantly "beckoning" and "calling" with soul fluctuations, leading the soul fragment closer.

When he thought of something, his expression became strange: the current situation, with the background music of "Come on, be happy, there is a lot of time anyway", is absolutely appropriate.

Levi shook his head, swept away the distractions in his mind, and continued to meditate.

......

Time passed silently, and Levi remained seated, motionless.

He smiled.

There were several tugs and backs along the way, but the soul fragment got closer and closer, and finally did not escape Levi's "claws".

"Oh......"

Levi is a spirit, a thorough coldness swells all over the body, it is the kind of "cold through the heart, the heart is flying", it is not cold, but the whole body is comfortable.

In the next moment, fragments of memories came to my head.

That's a first-person memory.

As soon as he opened the door, and was about to go out, a thin man came out of the corner, holding a sharp knife, and stabbed it fiercely in his stomach, again and again, again and again, until his body was stained with blood red, and he refused to stop viciously.

Levi clutched his stomach and gasped for a while, he felt an absolutely real pain, the muscles in his stomach spasming uncontrollably.

Not only the pain, but also the anger, despair, fear and other emotions before death also came to his heart, making his heart beat faster, breathing hard, and panicked.

"Huh?"

Levi woke up in shock, detached from his meditative state, gasping for air.

"That's not me, that's not me......" Levi said silently several times before he calmed down.

After calming down, he stroked his chin and analyzed in a low voice, "Yes...... Woolf's memory?"

He had already recognized that the thin man was Werner, and "himself" was obviously Woolf, Werner's first victim.

Levi calmed down, but his heart was still beating fast, and it would be difficult for him to enter a meditative state for a while, so he simply let himself go and sat down as he pleased.

Soon, he sensed something was wrong.

The world has changed!

In Levi's perception, everything was clearer and more detailed, and the arcane energy was no longer a curtain of water, but countless tiny particles, full of more delicate details. However, the details are still very vague and not very clear.

"It's because ...... Has the soul grown?" he said to himself, the corners of his lips raised with a smile, "The growth of the soul means the all-round strengthening of willpower, thinking speed, spiritual perception, and soul coercion. Now that I'm resistant, I'm probably a little more resistant to the Weeping of the Dead. ”

In fact, he hasn't even said the biggest good.

The growth of the soul will bring a direct increase in the efficiency of meditation!

It is not difficult to understand that if meditation is compared to a grinding plate, the soul is a donkey that pulls the mill, and the stronger the donkey, the more efficient the grinding.

"My level is still too low, and my soul perception accuracy is not accurate enough, and I can see the 'individual' of arcane energy, but I can't see the details of the construction of arcane energy...... Sure enough, with different levels, the world you see is completely different. Levi realized this, quickly threw away distracting thoughts, and continued to meditate.

As soon as his expression calmed down, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Another soul fragment?" Levi closed his eyes, his expression was quite tangled, and he looked puzzled, "According to Vincent, it is considered lucky to be able to collide with a soul fragment in three days...... Am I stepping on shit?"

However, he said so, but since he met it, of course he would not let it go.

This soul fragment was glowing purple, and its soul fluctuations were even more powerful, overflowing with wisps of resentment, and it was faintly condensed into faces of pain and wailing.

"It's a big fish, no, a whale!"

Levi was so close to the enemy that he even gave up meditation and devoted himself to dealing with this soul fragment.

If meditation is compared to speed, the growth of the soul is acceleration, and anyone who knows a little bit about physics knows which one will be more cost-effective.

After the first "soul fraud", Levi's technique became more and more proficient, but he also pulled repeatedly like a tug-of-war, and almost failed several times, and it took a full half an hour before and after finally getting what he wanted.

At that moment, he even felt thunderous applause ringing in his ears.

Levi shuddered.

This time, it was a stimulating sensation similar to a mild electric shock, and my whole body was sore, numb, and painful like pins and needles.

Before he could savor the feeling, new memories flooded into his mind.

In sight, a blue-black ogre's face quickly approached, and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth full of blackened fangs.

"-Shhh

But then, he reacted and couldn't help crying and laughing: Isn't this himself?

"I'm scared of myself, are you filming "Ghost Invasion"?" Levi laughed dumbly, and deliberately said in a narcissistic tone, "I said, how can there be such a handsome ogre? It turned out to be my own ......"

This soul fragment belongs to Werner, after all, he is a disciple of the old gods, and his soul strength is not the same as that of ordinary people.

"But didn't Werner die in the pendulum attic, did he float unconsciously, or was it some kind of obsession?" he said, puzzled.

More fragments of memory struck, like intermittent film footage.

The desperate cry of his mother when she was wanted and ran away from home, the thrill of succeeding in her first fraud, the depression and anger of being beaten by Woolf, and the fierce battle with the two-headed ogre......

This time, Levi adjusts his emotions and faces it with the mentality of the audience, as if he is watching another person's life.

But suddenly, his face changed, and he whispered, "This is ......"

In my memory, I was drinking a stuffy wine with a dizzy head, and suddenly found that there was an extra book on the table, a bronze cover, deviant words, and a strange pattern of a headless troll......

"The Book of Sin?" Levi muttered.

It dawned on him that the book Werner was talking about was not a strange codex at all, but a book of sin!
