Chapter 39: The Wheel of Pain
The setting sun was falling, reflecting Levi's side face.
He was efficient, engrossed in deconstructing the "soul home", and when the work was completed, it was just approaching dusk.
On the desktop, the soul destiny has been dismantled layer by layer, separated into twelve core elements and more than 20 auxiliary function blocks, after in-depth deconstruction and analysis, its operation logic and effective mode are also at a glance.
"Next, it's to improve and reshape ......" Levi shook his head from side to side, his ten fingers crossed, and his palms pressed outward, soothing his muscles and bones, ready for the next fierce battle.
He already has a draft, and the transformation plan will be a "fraud upgrade". This upgrade is a forced expansion of the "user group", and the magic array will no longer be aimed at a specific group, but "for the public".
The core rules of this new magic array are completely different, in short, it can be said that ahem,ββ "temptation of reincarnation".
The effect of Soul Destiny is to disguise soul fluctuations, so that the soul fragments scattered in the void will treat you as your main body, and then return like a wanderer returning home. However, because the strength of the soul cannot be disguised, the only thing that can be attracted by the soul destination is the soul fragment whose level is close to that of the user.
But this "power-enhanced version" of the magic array is completely different, because it is not a single soul in disguise, but the entire world reincarnation!
In fact, in addition to the will to return to the essence, the soul fragment also has another instinct, that is, to return to the reincarnation of the world, dust to dust, and earth to earth. This instinct is even stronger, especially for those ancient and powerful soul fragments that have lingered for years.
Naturally, Levi can't create world reincarnation, but he can follow the practice of "soul destination" and release an aura similar to world reincarnation to "deceive".
And in this way, the "audience" has expanded more than tenfold!
In other words, the new magic array is like a black hole, compatible and acceptable, and no one refuses.
"Old, young, new, old, please come to my bowl!" he smiled expectantly, "Don't talk about the fragments of the dragon soul, it's the fallen divine soul, and it's not a daydream now......"
Of course, although the ideal is full, it has to be completed step by step.
Next step.
Levi was not in a hurry to put pen to paper, he crossed his arms, crossed his legs, concentrated on the idea, and perfected the plan for the last time in his mind.
"Let's go!"
After a while, he nodded and grabbed the arcane brush.
Pen down.
A golden line walks on the pale pigskin, the arc is hidden and deep, and the arc is like a laurel branch under the moon, and the petals on both sides bloom like dozens of secret symbols, which are placed in a staggered and orderly manner, scattered and scattered, and the rhyme is long.
Levi adjusted his breathing, but the stroke was not finished, skimming through the star-like rotation trajectory, layer by layer, frozen into a spiral pattern of multiple whirlwinds.
"In this way, the main body is completed, and although the side details are trivial, they are only time-consuming and not difficult......" He breathed a long sigh of relief, staring at the spiral lines and bowing slightly.
Go on!
Levi immersed himself in drawing, and the pen flew like a fly, and the mystic symbols, primordial emblems, magic formulas, and even large passages of heroic epics also emerged from the tip of the pen like clouds and waters, and were engraved on the pigskin.
He smiled.
For some reason, Levi didn't feel tired, he even enjoyed it, and it was the joy of "creating", which was equivalent to the thrill of creating an interesting story as a writer.
But soon, his smile stiffened.
In Levi's hand, the arcane drawing pen seemed to be "alive", and this was by no means "like a god in the pen", because the pen was against him everywhere.
"Your sister," he said with a sigh as he looked down at his right hand, "sure enough, he still hasn't escaped ......."
There is a Western saying: there are only two things in the world that are inevitable, and that is taxes and death. But for Levi, there are three, and the remaining one is the "knuckles of chaos".
Levi's fingers trembled slightly.
His knuckles were already covered with gray lines, like tangible silk threads, forcibly pulling the movements of his fingers, drawing unfathomable lines of chaos.
He gritted his teeth and wrestled with the gray lines.
Levi pondered deeply, and his thoughts flickered: "I can't completely resist, but maybe...... can be properly guided, so as not to be so outrageous and pitiful. β
The situation is not the same as it was in the pharmaceutical industry.
When it comes to medicine, he has no room to resist at all, but for now, he still can't resist the "knuckles of chaos", but he can guide a little so that he doesn't get completely out of control.
Levi gritted his teeth and insisted, his head turned quickly, his eyes wandering over the root lines, and every time the lines deviated, he revised and conceived a new plan and made corrections.
Midnight.
Levi collapsed to the ground, sweat not only soaking through his clothes, but even running down his body, leaving a large pool of hip-shaped water stains on the surface of the chair.
But he smiled, raised his left hand and gestured his middle finger to his right hand, and said weakly and rampantly: "See, the winner is me, and my life is up to me!"
If this scene is seen by others, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a madman.
After resting for a while, Levi spread out the pigskin, quietly rubbed the surface lines, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
βThe Wheel of Pain. He thought about it and chose a name that he thought was appropriate.
Now, this thing is no longer a pigskin, and Levi has given it a new meaning,ββ magical equipment. Admittedly, it is still quite far from spells, and even in magical equipment, it is an ordinary quality, but for Levi, a beginner, it is a huge breakthrough.
Its effect is "mimic reincarnation", imitating the reincarnation of the world, pulling and inducing soul fragments within 50 meters in diameter to throw them at the user.
Knuckles of Chaos has an additional effect,ββ "Graveyard".
Graveyard: Turns the user's soul into an astral graveyard, absorbing soul fragments faster.
However, this is really a chicken rib attribute. The reason is very simple, no matter where you are, the number of soul fragments is quite limited, and it is considered good luck to be able to channel one or two soul fragments a day, and no matter how strong the "digestion ability" is, it is useless.
And its side effects are still cheating on the ground, every time a soul fragment is absorbed, it will bring severe pain to Levi, as for the pain level, you can think of the hammer smashing his thumb......
Levi pondered for a moment and decided to leave a personal mark on his first piece of magical equipment.
"There are two kinds of pain, one that makes you stronger, and one that is worthless and just adds to the torment. You guessed it, the pain of the Wheel of Pain belongs to the latter. βLevi Stansinger. β
He looked satisfied.
"Go home!" Levi clapped his hands and got up, glanced at the Wheel of Pain, revealing a painful look, "It's good that the Wheel of Pain can be carried with me, but how do I carry it?
......
Avenue of Black Thorns.
It was already the second half of the night, and the streets were deserted, except for a scarlet moon hanging high above Levi.
He walked down the street, a white cloak dancing in the wind behind him.
After much hesitation, Levi still put on the wheel of pain.
Ugly is a little ugly, but to tell you the truth, the effect is very good, quite good!
Walking in the crimson moonlight, Levi spread his arms outstretched, his movements were like swimming, and his face was fascinated and enjoyed, free.
He was lucky, just a few short distances, he actually caught a whale soul fragment!
The fragment came from an ancient sperm king whale, and although there was only a fragment left, it was as vast and deep as the sea, containing an unfathomable soul origin. After absorbing this fragment of the whale soul, Levi only felt that his whole body was suitable, and various memories of the giant whale swimming in the ancient sea and fighting with giant beasts such as the Kraken and the Dragon Turtle came to mind.
"That Brad didn't lie, the Hengdong Mountain Range is really an ancient ocean......" After a long time, Levi came back to his senses and showed a satisfied expression, "Today is enough!"
He no longer absorbs soul shards.
In the last "body explosion" incident, Li Wei had figured out the way, not because of the side effects of absorbing the soul, but because it was purely absorbing too much, exceeding the load capacity of the soul.
To use a simple analogy, rice is a good thing, but if you eat too much, you can support it, and water is a good thing, and if you drink too much, it will swell. And the body explosion incident is that Levi's soul "eats up" and "drinks up".
As his soul grows, his "appetite" will increase, but in the short term, he still has to take it easy.
Levi's ears moved.
"Don't run, stop me......"
In the darkness, the magic horse lantern shook violently, some people chased, some people shouted, and they were rapidly approaching.
Levi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, a fierce-looking bald man had rushed in front of him.
"Get out of the way!" the man swore with a fierce face, and slammed his fist at Levi.
His movements froze suddenly.
Levi didn't move, just gave him a look.
It was just a simple look, but his figure seemed to be rising infinitely, turning into an ancient giant, with a high sky on his head, indifferently overlooking the ground, making the man feel small, his soul trembled, and his body did not obey the call.
Smack!
The man collapsed to the ground, a yellow stain beneath him.
He was scared to pee!
At this moment, the police who were chasing after him also rushed over.
"Levi?" came another acquaintance, the fat policeman handcuffed the man, and stared at Levi suspiciously, "What's the matter? You didn't turn into an ogre, how did you scare him like this?"
"No way, this is the trouble of the handsome guy......" Levi shrugged his shoulders and said without changing his face, "People who meet for the first time are often shocked by my handsomeness and can't extricate themselves." β
The fat police officer was accustomed to Levi's brazenness, and looked him up and down a few times: "I'm still wandering the street so late, I won't ask...... What are you doing in a pigskin cloak? It's so bizarre that we're going to get on track. β
"Hey, hey," Levi said solemnly, "Please see clearly, this is a piece of magic equipment!"
"What kind of material is this?" the fat officer stepped forward and touched it.
"Uh, pigskin. Levi's expression froze, but he still said in an accentuated tone, "It's the pigskin of the Stormfang Pig." β
"Look at it like this, is it a cloak or a cloak?"
"Cloak!" Levi replied after a moment's thought.
"Okay," the fat officer nodded, correcting his statement, "it's the middle of the night, and you're wandering the streets in a pigskin cloak, what are you doing?"
"Uh-" Levi was at a loss again.
Hey, hey, if you talk like this all the time, you're going to have no friends...... He complained in his heart.
