Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Obsessive Material
For the current Anvis, enemies below Fourth Rank were almost indistinguishable and were usually taken care of with just a glance.
As for enemies above Fourth Rank, the Secret Guard assigned by the Duke would take action.
Following Anvis’s thoughts, the silver-white Magic Book hanging on the young noble’s waist flew up by itself, floating in front of him.
Facing the jungle panther stone statue in the center of the camp, the young man’s slender fingers, wrapped in pure white gloves, gently brushed the pages of the book. The silver pages flipped one by one under his touch, eventually stopping on the ninth page.
In the center of the elegant silver-white page, a complex earthy-yellow Secret Magic Array pattern began to emit a faint light.
Amidst a strong surge of earth magic fluctuation, the originally solid ground beneath the jungle panther suddenly began to undulate like a tide.
Fifth Rank Transformation magic——[Liquid Ground]
With a gurgle, the petrified jungle panther was instantly submerged within it.
The effect of this magic was to make the ground within the spell’s area of influence as soft and malleable as the surface of the water for the duration of the spell.
The range of the spell’s effect could be adjusted according to the Spellcaster’s will—the smaller the range, the deeper it would be.
This time, Anvis adjusted the spell’s range to the smallest radius, two meters.
In that case, the depth would be roughly forty meters.
Feeling that the jungle panther had probably reached the bottom, Anvis ceased casting the spell.
Once the effect of magic power dissipated, the earth regained its former solidity. The ground within the area affected by the spell became unusually flat, without a trace of unevenness or hollows.
A dragon’s burial service, it is customary—
Habitually clapping his hands together, brushing off the non-existent dust, Anvis suddenly remembered something.
Right, I’m also only around level twenty or so.
Theoretically, if I were still a Player and hadn’t encountered any remarkable adventures, I should not be able to defeat this jungle panther right now.
Then, to complete the procedure.
[Planned Horse]-1
.........
After dealing with a small unexpected incident, Anvis came to the side of the camp, next to a little mound of earth that was clearly fresher than the surrounding area.
Here, the Last Dragon Descendant buried the task target and the client with his own hands.
Taking off the Magic Wand strapped to his back, Anvis gripped the straight silver-white staff in his right hand and gently tapped it against the ground. His left hand quickly shaped several gestures, then he raised it high.
A wind from nowhere began to surge, blowing a lock of light golden hair that hung in front of the young man’s forehead.
In the depths of those deep blue, mysterious eyes, a faint blue radiance of magic power seemed to twinkle.
As the spell took shape, the pale blue crystal at the tip of the wand suddenly brightened. A suppressive magic fluctuation quickly spread in all directions.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble—"
The earth elements in the environment began to stir, and the ground shook violently.
Several fissures cracked open from the bottom of the canyon, and amidst the ground enclosed by these fissures, an earth and stone giant fist composed of grey-white earth and gravel rose from the ground.
It was as if a mountain giant trapped underground was angrily punching towards the sky.
Fourth Rank Shape Power magic——[Earth Fist]
The next moment, Anvis’s high-raised left fist slowly opened.
In sync with Anvis’s movement, the clenched fingers of Earth Fist also opened, revealing the items and bones inside.
Surprisingly, everything within the earth and stone hand was exceptionally clean, without even a speck of dust on the surface.
"The precision of my magic manipulation has improved a bit more."
Slightly satisfied, Anvis gives a nod. With a thought, an item levitates before him, raised by the invisible effect of magic power.
It’s a seemingly ordinary black iron necklace, its surface slightly dim and lusterless due to moisture.
But in Anvis’s perception, this necklace is emitting a faint yet uniquely strange mixed fluctuation.
The overwhelming majority of these are the fluctuations of destiny power, which Anvis is very familiar with.
The remaining minuscule part is a kind of necromancy fluctuation, filled with inscrutability and a cold sensation.
From the pocket on his chest, he pulls out the Mercury Eyes tethered to a silver chain. Anvis places it in front of his left eye, and with a surge of magic power, the crystal-like lens silently coats in a layer of silvery white.
Under the activated destiny perspective of the Mercury Eyes, the entire necklace begins to emit a faint glow.
Especially the heart-shaped pendant, which shines as brightly as a twinkling star.
"Sentimental material, what a pity..."
Understanding the root of the necklace’s change, Anvis gently shakes his head, feeling a tinge of regret.
Sentimental material is a type of material that can only be formed under extremely special conditions.
Unlike the formation process of various natural treasures, the precursor of sentimental material could be an item of any tier.
But these items have one thing in common—they were all the most cherished possessions of their original owners when alive.
When the bearer dies due to an accident, their intense dying obsession turns into an invisible special force.
And, carrying pieces of the bearer’s soul fragments, it bestows itself upon an item.
More powerful professionals can even entrust a part or even the entirety of their souls onto the item.
When the original owner’s obsession is resolved, the soul fragments residing therein naturally dissipate.
The force, devoid of soul’s control, merges into the object, becoming a pure alchemy material.
This is the complete birth process of a piece of sentimental material.
.........
In the Gloria Empire, there’s a popular tale that some commoner youths, while loitering in the marketplace or exploring the wilds, serendipitously find a necklace, ring, book, or hand mirror that houses a soul.
Subsequently, with the help of an elderly gentleman or young lady, they rise powerfully and become a noble of legendary stature, with many memoirs adapted from these items.
Of course, adaptation is not fabrication.
The portrayal of soul-bearing items in the stories, as well as their ultimate fate, also mirrors the reality of sentimental items.
.........
The destiny attribute of the sentimental material in Anvis’s hands indicates that the woman had a prophetic talent in life.
What Anvis finds regrettable is that her talent was not discovered earlier.
Otherwise, a future Prophet would be far more valuable than a piece of low-rank prophetic material.
The woman’s relentless search for her lover was most likely driven by this talent.
Spellcasters adept in the Prediction School have a trait: when a major event related to themselves is about to happen, Prophets can sense it to a certain extent.
Although she was a mere commoner, her prophecy talent would still produce vague warnings, such as nightmares related to the death of a loved one at night.
Unfortunately, her hopes to find her lover ultimately came to naught.
As the price for distorting and interfering with the Net of Destiny, the young mercenary’s soul had long since dissipated completely during that secret magic ceremony.
This is also why those bodies, despite being left in a negative energy environment for a long time, have still not transformed into undead creatures.
