Soul Of Negary Chapter 357 - Vol5 Ch27: The Retreating Spirit And The Clean-up Enforcers

Chapter 357: Vol5 Ch27: The retreating spirit and the clean-up enforcers

Translator: La0o9

“Die” Field used his index finger and thumb to break off a piece of the chain, then flicked it forward.

As a spirit, especially a spirit that was born within a mana tide, Field was powerful.

When the human Field drew out his own spirit, he stood in the middle of the mana tide, which allowed the newborn spirit to bathe within the tide of mana, thus obtaining a large quant.i.ty of mana to promote his growth.

Because of the human Field, other than basic abilities, the spirit Field had also gained a unique ability called [Name of Fear].

Just like how Negary had hexed his own name, the name of ‘Field’ was also special in that anyone who feared this name would empower him.

Back then, it was because the human Field was afraid of the monster that he created that he wasn’t able to restrain the spirit’s growth and ended up killed by the spirit, after which the name of ‘Field’ was stolen from him.

10 years ago, Field was extremely famous, or rather, infamous throughout the Mobis Inst.i.tute. The events at the time caused quite a huge commotion since Field tortured an entire room of students to death, the process of which was witnessed by a considerable number of students.

Despite Michael placing a gag order on this matter, people still ended up remembering Field, which empowered him.

As the piece of chain rubbed against the air, it was superheated to become incandescent. It had also been infused with a small bit of mana that would erupt after striking its target. If the other party had a mana s.h.i.+eld to protect them, this bit of mana would cause their entire body’s mana to become chaotic.

While Field had been sealed away, that didn’t mean that he was completely isolated. He had his own channels that allowed him to study certain knowledge.

One of the pieces of the chain flew directly through Brewer’s shoulder, the wound instantly charred black by the heat of the metal, as blood spurted out from within, Brewer grunted as he continued to flee as fast as he could. Brewer understood very well that he wasn’t a match for that monster, and not running away meant that he had a death wish.

The city enforcers were nothing but a group of minions for the House of Mages. They had very little mana, didn’t have the courage to perform axle rituals in order to grow closer to any Evil G.o.ds, nor did they have a stable way of obtaining more mana. In fact, on the night of the Mana Banquet, they would even have to cautiously stay as far away as they could, lest the mana tide washes away what little mana they had together with their lives.

In the eyes of normal people, the enforcers with their unique abilities were people above the common populace, but in front of the real big shots, they were no more than dogs to be used, which was why they were tasked with this probing mission in the first place.

“Very well, if your will to survive is truly that great, I shall let you live. Remember my name, Field, as I will be your nightmare for the rest of your life!”

Field’s power came from the fear of others towards him, the more people feared him, the stronger he would become, and the more power he would be able to extract from that fear.

For that reason, Field didn’t mind releasing enemies that didn’t pose much of a threat.

After dealing with Brewer, Field turned around towards the Mobis Inst.i.tute, preparing to spread the terror of his name; only to immediately see ‘Negary’ smiling as he stood at the inst.i.tute’s gates.

A sense of instinctive fear snapped Field out of his power trip. His strength originated from the fear of others towards his name, but this ability of his had a taboo: If he also felt fear, then the power originated from fear would be able to affect him as well.

For that reason, Field could do anything except being afraid, otherwise, he would be killed by his own power.

And so, Field quickly readjusted his mental state, then instead of heading towards the inst.i.tute, he began to head into the city.

If I’m correct, he was the person who transferred mana into Roger’s body.

Quite obviously, his technique was extremely intricate, and since I’m still unsure of the situation, it’s best that I don’t uselessly cause trouble here.

“Just a bit more…” Field whispered to himself.

Field was practically drooling at the mouth in desire of Roger’s spirit sense talents, since he had taken over Roger’s body, as long as he could also consume Roger’s soul, he would grow further as a spirit.

At that time, I’ll deal with this person.

With that in mind, Field’s footsteps quickened.

〖 Retreating so quickly? 〗

Watching Field impatiently running away, ‘Negary’ chuckled. The other party’s choice was, without a doubt, the correct one; otherwise, ‘Negary’ didn’t mind having another spirit to experiment on.

〖 An ability related to his name? 〗’Negary’ had only observed him superficially, so he didn’t really understand Field’s ability very well.

〖 It seems it will be necessary to conduct a spirit-related experiment. Furthermore, this spirit doesn’t look like it was sealed away almost right after it was born at all 〗

‘Negary’ pondered for a bit, thinking that the waters of this Mobis Inst.i.tute were truly murky.

The Dean who conducted a reincarnation ritual, a sealed spirit, a library that contained a Grimoire with evil knowledge, the route from which Field obtained his knowledge, as well as various other strange and unusual things; of course, the biggest abnormality of the inst.i.tute right now was his existence itself.

〖 Ahahaha, let’s hope the Mobis Inst.i.tute will be able to remain st.u.r.dy after all of this 〗’Negary’ waved his hand to summon the inst.i.tute’s management council and spoke to them after readjusting himself: 〖 Report this matter to the enforcers and have them clean things up, there’s no need to leave these corpses strewn around for everyone to see, that would disturb the student’s studies 〗

〖 Furthermore, sue the city enforcers. Charge them with uselessly leeching off the coffers of the citizens without doing any actual work 〗

‘Negary’ looked down at his outstretched hand, the skin portion of it had already begun to faintly change. Quite obviously, the original skin of his body had already started to fuse with Michael’s own skin, which meant that it wouldn’t be long until his first Divine Embryo was born.

“Understood, we will make sure to have the enforcers bleed” the majority of members of the inst.i.tute’s management council either had relations to Michael or knew about Michael’s true ident.i.ty, so they would not resist ‘Michael’s’ orders.

…

Under the shadow of a tree, Landier was leaning on the side of the tree while staring intensely at the direction which Field had left.

“Don’t try to head outside, it’s very possible for Roger to be under a monster’s control at the moment. You wouldn’t be able to save him, you need power” Michael wiggled his maggot body while polluting Landier’s mind with his words.

Landier had gotten lost for a very long time in the sewers, combined with how he ran all over the place to anonymously report to the House of Mages, Landier was now completely exhausted. In addition, because of his worry for Roger, his mentality wasn’t in its best shape either, which made it very easy for Michael to deceive him.

“If you act too late, Roger’s body will be completely taken over, so the normal methods of gaining power would be too slow. You will have to perform a sacrifice; there are five people currently inside the inst.i.tute with a unique const.i.tution, by killing and sacrificing them, you will be able to obtain great power”

Michael repeated these words over and over, eventually simplifying them into twisted logic: ‘To save Roger, you need to kill those five people’, which was then deeply implanted into Landier’s mind.

“Now, it’s time to prepare everything you need”

Michael recalled the appearance of the five sacrifices he had chosen, mentally reminding himself not to act rashly. He had already made a mistake due to acting rashly, and if he made another mistake right now, he would have no other chances to overturn it.
