Chapter 15: Third Times The Charm Maybe?
Lou Yi opened his eyes and he is finally back to the dungeon, a light circular membrane is protecting him so that his body won't be attacked while his soul is away.
The prison guard on the other hand, sensing that the human is awake, it immediately made a move towards Lou Yi and threw a flying dagger.
Clank.
The dagger fell to ground after it hit the light membrane.
He glanced to the prison guard and informations popped up on his mind.
"Guard No.69 - A-Class Undead
•Became corrupted by the dark energy looming from the prison after its death because of grievances.
•Guards the Circle of Ascension.
Lou Yi knows that the light membrane made by the library protecting him is powerful but could not last longer so he also made his move.
"Magic Laser."
Pew.
Large beam of light hit the target and an arm fell to the ground.
"..."
"How am I this powerful?!" He said in surprise. (☉｡☉)
After coming out from the Library of Time, Lou Yi's spiritual capacity was further improved to this extent because of being in the library for more than thirty years.
He still did not know about this so he did not get to control his mana channeling and made that big and thick laser that came flying to the enemy with a whistling sound in the air.
If this is a game, it would be like making the boss's hp lose a third of its blood from that attack alone.
Puff.
Smoke billowed from the prison guard and blinked towards another location. It did not underestimate Lou Yi any longer and fired rapid shots of flying daggers blinking everywhere incessantly.
Sensing that the light membrane is also fading its protection, he hurriedly drew a circle around him with mana and activated one of his newly learned magic.
"Mana Shield."
From its name suggest, Mana Shield uses the casters mana to protect them from any kinds of attacks. The greater the attack the bigger mana consumption it makes.
When he first read about this spell, he is surprised to know that Mana Shield is quite similar with his Magic Prison's composition, its just that the former keeps everything out while the latter keeps everything in.
Even though flurry of flying daggers were thrown towards him, it did not pile up on his feet but disintegrated after failing to touch even a single hair from him.
Lou Yi's mana kept draining after blocking many flying daggers so he casted a spell under his breath that he learnt from the Library of Time.
"A force to be reckoned gather to me, the stars aligned and planets combined, heavenly bodies collide to strike..."
The surrounding mana gathered towards the staff, making the scene suffocating because of mana depletion from the environment.
"Anguish Cry." Lou Yi muttered inaudibly under his breath with a piercing gaze towards his enemy.
A magic circle appeared under Guard No.69's feet. He tried to use shadow blink but failed to do so because of the spell's suppressing effect.
The magic circle formed completely and a light barrier appeared imprisoning the enemy inside. A light bursted out from the ground swallowing Guard No.69 making him cry in anguish for the first and probably the last time.
Lou Yi almost collapsed from over exertion because the mana he gathered from the surrounding for the spell to work is insufficient making him supply it from his own storage.
Anguish Cry is one of the spells in a magic series a mage made. But not many had acknowledge this spell for it has too much flaws. Lou Yi is only forced to use this spell so that he could finish the fight early. And spells that would use long chants use the environment to its full capacity to be activated, just one error and the caster would be the one killed instead.
After the prison guard disintegrated into dust, a chain glowing an eerie blue color is left on the ground. The chain is only two meters long.
Lou Yi walked slowly while stabilizing his footing towards the chain and reached his hand towards it. He could feel a biting cold sensation from the chain and a bit of suppressing aura.
He used the Monocles of Eyedentification and the chains info appeared on his mind.
"Soul Chain - S-Class Artifact
•Pull the target towards the owner when used and suppress the target for a maximum of fifteen minutes.
•Collecting the other chains would make it stronger and make the suppressing effect last longer."
To bind an artifact, one only had to drop a blood toward it and it would then be storages in the owner's spiritual realm just like spiritual beasts that became spiritual companion.
After recognizing the artifact, Lou Yi then pricked his finger and a blood dropped from him making the artifact bind to himself.
Weng.
It then vanished and got inside Lou Yi's spiritual realm huddling together with the egg. Artifacts also had minds of their own even become sentient the more they upgrade. Since the Soul Chain sensed a fellow friend with them having the same owner, it wants to have interactions with the little egg.
Lou Yi pulled himself out from his spiritual realm and the room warped making the scene change in front of his eyes.
Bookshelves appeared one after another lining up on the wall, a magic circle is with a paint in the middle of the room with ancient runes written in the inner part.
He then stood up in the middle of the circle and spread out his spiritual realm aura, the atmosphere then became soothing.
He took out a dagger from his pouch and made a long slash on his palm.
"Ack, I really don't think I would get used to this wounding myself." He said in an grieving tone. ಥ╭╮ಥ
Lots of blood dripped from his palm and the Circle of Ascension started sucking his energy making him a bit dizzy from the process.
The place started shaking and the magic circle glowed bright enough to make Lou Yi blind se he closed his eyes and waited for it stop.
Lou Yi sensed a strong energy fluctuation in front of him and the strange phenomenon stop, he finally opened his eyes and a book is floating towards him.
"Tome of Records - S-Class Artifact
•An artifact that binds with the owner according to the owner's capabilities.
•Records the owner's mastered skills and spells."
The Tome of Records then started sucking the blood from Lou Yi's open wound making him nauseous from blood loss.
After collecting the appropriate amount, it then came inside Lou Yi's spiritual realm floating there haughtily as if it had the greatest authority there.
Lou Yi really wanted to cuss, he really had in his mind that this dungeon is not the one gonna kill him but he would probably be killed by blood loss soon enough.
And it happened three time in just a single day?!
He then fainted and slumped limply on the ground.
