Chapter 615 An Ownerless Land
The dark pod opened within the dark room of Dark Viscount Estate, revealing Jacob's figure. He opened his eyes before he rose from the pod and sat there with a contemplated look on his face.
After his fight with Flame Calamity, he didn't continue the matches and exited the arena. He was still somewhat baffled about what happened at the last moment since he only remembered something overcoming his mind, and he felt boundless power surging through his body. Then he used the Deceptive Swords Style's second killer move, the Anti-Clockwise, Pandemonium on instinct, and everything was over.
Furthermore, he could tell something changed within his mind after that battle as he was calmer, and his mind was clearer.
'That was definitely Fighting Giant Spirit. What kind of aspect is this? The more I fight on the verge of death, the more powerful I become; those weren't empty words.
'If I can enter that state on will, even someone like Flame Calamity would die, but that is under the condition I'm at the same power level as them. That Wyvern was probably at the Quasi Legendary Rank in reality, so even if I entered that state, I might die from that forbidden spell.' Jacob mused with a hint of gloom.
As far as Jacob knows, the Forbidden Spells were something that can't be taught, and only those with extremely powerful bloodlines can awake them upon reaching a certain level of power.
The Forbidden Spells grant the user extreme power at the cost of their life force or something equal, and the stronger the forbidden spell, the harsher the cost to activate it. They were the last resort, and no one would use them easily.
Flame Calamity probably used it because he thought it wasn't real life, or he would've never used it unless he was in life a life-and-death situation, or even then, he might've chosen to flee instead of using it.
Jacob only got this much information from the witch palace; even the witch queen had never seen a forbidden spell.
But now that Jacob had experienced it himself and even managed to counter it. That's why Jacob was shocked and wanted to figure out how he did it. The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
Although Jacob was dissatisfied a little, he still got the answer, so it wasn't all in vain. He knew this was the extent of information he could get from Immortika, and it was already more than enough for him to work on.
Lastly, he asked, "What about that dreamscape realm? What kind of entity does it belong to, and what is its power level? Would I be in danger if I continued to plunder from it? And don't you dare laugh it off! This is important since you know I can't go against someone of that level yet." His tone was grave.
Although Nyx had assured him they would be fine, he wasn't completely confident until he heard it from Immortika. After all, a person who could create that dreamscape realm had to be a terrifying existence, and Nyx was nowhere near the level of completely measuring this person's depth.
Even if he could get strong souls like Flame Calamity's in there, if there were even the slightest chance that it would grab that person's attention, he would stop it since his life was more important than strengthening his soul.
Immortika suddenly burst into wanton laughter before writing, "Truth be told, even I'm somewhat surprised by this method. Since it's already under the rules, I can tell you a little, but only a little.
"You see, that dreamscape realm's owner can't pay attention to you even if it wanted to because that dreamscape realm is incomplete and only a small part of the complete realm.
"Simply put, whoever did this, their plan was ingenious, but to make it happen, they had to split a part of their own soul and then sneak it into the lesser plains because this person's true power is far above the level of lesser plains which the absolute laws of the Zodiac Plains can't tolerate.
"If I go into detail, it would take a very long time, and you might not even understand the principles behind it. So, I'll give you a simple example: Consider this dreamscape realm as a farm that could create an endless supply of crops and have a natural hidden storage to store them.
"But the farm is on the land of a feudal lord, and the farmer is a foreigner who didn't have his permission to use it, yet he still dared to use it sneakily. But now, the sneaky farmer didn't dare to harvest them because it would draw the attention of the feudal lord.
"So, it is currently ownerless because the sneaky farmer is afraid of incurring the wrath of the true lord of this land, but it is only the case for that sneaky farmer. So anyone can grab it as long as they have the means to bypass the farmer's spies and defenses. Do you get it? Hahahaha!"
