NOVPUBChapter 1033: 321. Bound Blood Remains_3
[Harmless Deconstruction Successful!]
[Your degree of deconstruction of “Remnants of the Bloodbinder Zulack” has increased to 4%.]
“Bloodbinder… Zulack…”
Noland Lee frowned slightly, scouring his magical knowledge, but found no such person.
He opened the Deconstruction Results to read.
…
...
[Name] Remnants of the Bloodbinder Zulack
[Type] Part of the corpse of a mystically extraordinary being
[Item Level] Projected as Level 171
[Description]
To the mystically extraordinary, “death” is merely a form of life that can be exploited.
“Death” can be used to deceive the ignorant, confuse enemies, and create opportunities for rest and reprieve.
To ensure that he was detected as “dead” by various methods, the Bloodbinder Zulack dismembered, separated, and ground himself to lose all traits associated with “living.”
However, under certain conditions, the Bloodbinder Zulack will return and be reborn.
(Insufficient degree of deconstruction achieved, you were not able to obtain further information)
…
Extraordinary beings of the mysterious side…
Even the remains are Level 171, and that’s only a part of the Bloodbinder’s corpse.
Noland Lee stared thoughtfully at the dark bloodstains.
If it weren’t for Deconstruction in hand, he would find it very difficult to associate such dried blood with the revival of a mysterious existence.
Noland Lee followed the trail of bloodstains on the floor towards the depths of the tunnel, a faint glimmer of realization flickering in his eyes. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Perhaps the Grey Wizards who were at the heart of the Pollution Zone were reviving the Bloodbinder Zulack?
Or perhaps, even they were unaware of the existence of the Bloodbinder?
Noland Lee shook his head lightly, pushing aside the many questions.
“I should first gather the Spoils of War I am owed, then delve deeper into the Pollution Zone.”
Looking around, several cave entrances leading to unknown destinations dotted the walls.
Which one would take Noland Lee to the fallen wizard’s side?
Noland Lee reached into his Magic Pouch with his right hand and pulled out dozens of Mechanos, laying them on the ground.
In his mind, he called to Nicolette to control the Mechanos to scout the paths.
Meanwhile, he quietly waited for the outcome, beginning to test spell casting on the spot, preparing for any upcoming combat.
Nicolette was now on Underground Layer 2 of Island 33.
While she controlled the Mechanos, she also entered observational data into the magic access meter for the Pollution Zone.
By her side stood Nicolette, hugging a plush toy, curiously examining the characters and images on the magic access meter:
“What are you doing, Sister Nolin?”
“I’m helping Mr. Jarvis sort out information on the Pollution Zone,” Nolin said, smiling at Nicolette:
“If you’re bored, why don’t you help the Mechanos build the energy storage devices for the Third Underground Level and below? It might take several hours before I can attend to you.”
“Oh, I see…” Nicolette blinked and pointed to the “Bloodstains” on the screen of the access meter, asking:
“Why is there so much blood here? It’s covering the walls and the floor, even the ceiling. The Pollution Zone seems pretty scary.”
“Yes, Nicolette. The Pollution Zone is indeed very dangerous, and Mr. Jarvis is the only one who dares to explore it alone,” Nolin said with a hint of admiration in her voice.
On the magic access meter, she recreated the scenes she saw in the tunnel, a true-to-life replication.
The seemingly dangerous Pollution Zone, in fact, wasn’t the least bit safe.
Especially the dark bloodstains.
After Noland Lee emphasized that the bloodstains seemed unusual and highly dangerous, Nolin took a lot of effort to outline them, so that Noland Lee could study them later.
As the image of the bloodstains on the access meter became more complete, Nicolette couldn’t help but stare absentmindedly.
A barely visible purple radiance flickered in her eyes as she said subconsciously:
“Sister Nolin, may I use Mental Magic to take a look at that Pollution Zone?”
Nolin, who was immersed in operating the magic access meter, assumed Nicolette was just being curiously juvenile and didn’t pay much attention:
“I would need to ask Mr. Jarvis. Apparently, that Pollution Zone can cause psychic trauma, so it’s quite risky…”
Nolin communicated with Noland Lee using “Mind Induction” for a moment and received permission.
She took out several Magic Rings, placed them on Nicolette’s hands, and taught her step by step how to use Mental Magic.
After equipping herself with a high-powered “Mental Shield,” Nicolette successfully used “Mind Infusion” and “Mind View” to witness the dim tunnel that Noland Lee was in.
Her eyes slowly became vacant as if she was losing consciousness.
On Noland Lee’s end, however, he was certain in his heart.
He successfully used the image Nicolette recreated on the magic access meter to attract the attention of the Assassin Angel inside her.
Now, “Nicolette” observed the bloodstained tunnel through a flying Scout Mech.
The Mech circled around Noland Lee.
Noland Lee’s gaze followed its movements.
Whether all the information could be extracted from the mouth of the Assassin Angel, it all hinged on now.
A mist of purple fumes erupted from within the Mech.
Everyone else, including Nicolette and Nolin, was unaware of it.
Only Noland Lee, being enveloped by the purple fumes, witnessed its presence.
Noland Lee felt his consciousness being swept into the purple fumes and couldn’t help but feel elated inside.
Yes! The Assassin Angel indeed had something to say!
Was it the Remnants of the Bloodbinder or the “Bustling Tunnel” that caught the attention of the Assassin Angel?
Noland Lee relaxed his mind, not resisting, while the Assassin Angel used mysterious purple fumes to drag his consciousness into the purple mist-filled “Land of the Crownless.”
