Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 195 Soul Coins

Despite lasting only ten minutes, the ether walk was still ridiculously powerful.

Approaching the enemy stealthily from the ethereal plane is extremely useful for reconnaissance, escape, and assassination, making it impossible to defend against.

There are only a few ways to see the ethereal plane, such as True Vision, but even the True Vision of the Sixth Ring True Knowledge can only last for an hour, and no one can keep it on 24 hours a day.

The requirement to plant it between the eyebrows is too strange and hard to understand.

'Could it really be the eye of some kind of magical creature?' Anser wondered to himself.

Thinking about it like that gave me goosebumps; I was afraid it would grow inside my skin and I wouldn't be able to remove it.

Moreover, his synchronization limit was already full, so he needed to give up a magical equipment, which was a dilemma, and he could only put it aside for the time being.

He continued to examine another piece of equipment, "Demon Skin," a strange artifact crafted from the skins of various demons. It was a black, 30-centimeter-long scale with fine texture and a soft touch.

The "Demon Skin" is similar to his dragon skin pouch, but slightly smaller, with an internal dimensional space that is 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter and 10 feet (3 meters) deep.

This item does not require synchronization, but it is also cursed with "Demonic Aura". Items inside will be tainted by the demonic aura. If the item is of the good alignment, it will be corrupted and destroyed, such as holy water.

However, it also has its advantages; the demonic aura can extend the shelf life of food and ingredients, making them less prone to spoilage. But if stored for too long, ordinary people will no longer be able to consume them.

'It's not as good as my dragon-skin pouch; no wonder you need to carry an extra dimensional bag.'

What he was really concerned about was what was inside the Demon Skin.

Upon opening the alternate dimension, one finds it filled with a large amount of unknown, dark reddish-brown meat, which looks nauseating.

In addition, there are two Maple Leaf Badges, two Platinum Cards, seven relatively rare Soul Coins, and a metal cube that looks like a seal.

So many traveler badges? You must have stolen them, right?

Nobody sells this, and even if they did, it would be incredibly expensive, and buying one more wouldn't make much of a difference.

Anser picked up two platinum cards, numbered 43960 and 31586, the former being the consignor of the Variants of Impermanence card.

'It seems they specifically target travelers resting at their lodgings, but how do they manage to do it?' His gaze involuntarily drifted to the tarot deck.

Traveler's Rest is a legendary inn that has existed for thousands of years and is extremely safe. A magic master who is not even a legend would absolutely not be able to cause any trouble.

'I wonder if the Demon Contract Master has taken the money from selling the Myriad Manifestations Impermanence Amulets?'

The Traveler's Rest card is anonymous. If he didn't take it, then he got it for free.

Then there are seven Soul Coins, the currency of the Nine Hells, the devil's favorite.

Soul coins are forged from hell iron. Each coin weighs one-third of a pound, is twelve or thirteen centimeters in diameter, and two or three centimeters thick, and is engraved with purgatory language.

It is said that each Soul Coin contains a unique soul bound within it, thus each has a unique story. Holding a Soul Coin allows one to feel the emotions of the soul bound within, and even be overwhelmed by its anger or despair.

Soul coins are highly valuable and have many uses besides serving as currency, such as absorbing life force and questioning souls.

However, creatures that are not of the evil alignment cannot use Soul Coins, nor can they carry too many, otherwise they will be affected by the negative power on the Soul Coins, with very serious consequences.

Anser frowned slightly, but did not touch the Soul Coin.

'I wonder if the devil would reject the soul coins tainted with demonic energy.' He had no intention of dealing with the devil.

Compared to these few soul coins, the devil must be more interested in his own soul.

The last item was a metal cube shaped like a seal, about 15 centimeters on each side, and very heavy.

[Magic Item: Teleportation Cube]

Category: Curiosities
Rarity: Rare. One side of this metal cube is composed of countless interlocking and constantly changing metal plates, resembling a seal. These plates rearrange themselves at dawn each day, generating a unique sequence of runes for a new teleportation array.

The other five sides are flat and blank, and can record rune sequences of up to five different teleportation arrays.

This block has 3 charges and replenishes its consumed charges at dawn each day.

"Record": If you find a permanent teleportation circle, you can place a flat surface of a block on the circle and remain focused for 1 hour to record the rune sequence of the circle onto that side of the block.

If this side already has a rune sequence, it will be replaced by a new one.

"Teleportation Circle": You can place the block face down on the ground and maintain focus for 1 minute. A temporary teleportation circle will be generated on the ground. Once activated, you will be teleported to the recorded target teleportation circle.

Each charge consumes one charge.

"Return Array": You can place the cube face down on the ground and maintain focus for 1 minute to form a "destination" teleportation array with a diameter of 10 feet (3 meters) that lasts for one hour.

During this time, you can record the rune sequence of the return array and use the teleportation array to leave, making it easy to return at any time.

It can be used once a day, or it can consume one charge for another use.

"Huh?" Anser looked surprised.

This item is of low quality, but its effect is somewhat similar to the Five Rings Spell "Teleportation Array".

Its core function is to record and generate teleportation arrays, allowing you to teleport to a permanent teleportation array anytime, anywhere. If you want to return, you can simply create a return array in the original location.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, grabbed the teleportation cube and examined it closely. He found that it contained three rune sequences, which were marked with a red pen.

The rune sequence is equivalent to the coordinates of the teleportation array; three rune sequences correspond to three teleportation arrays.

The markers all use the same word: deep water, rocky city, and base.

'The outpost, the outpost…' Anser squinted. 'It could be their hideout, or it could be a trap.'

However, the rune sequence is very abstract and difficult to identify, so recording it with a red pen is not unusual.

'Should we go check it out, or find some help?'

This process cannot be delayed for too long. If there are still people in the base, they will definitely abscond with the money after learning of the boss's death, and he may end up with nothing.

Magic Pact Masters are space pirates, so they must have magic ships!
'It's definitely not possible now, I'm not in good shape.' He hesitated for a moment, then decided to get back into shape first.

He carefully put away the teleportation cube. It might not be that valuable in itself, but now it was related to the legacy of a group of space pirates, which made it all the more significant.

Next, he quickly checked the items on the other three corpses. There were quite a few good items, but none of them were usable by him, so he simply threw them all to the top of the Black Tower for the time being and dealt with them tomorrow.

He quickly washed up, sat on the bed, and brought up the character card.

The experience pool has reached 14406, and I am only a little over a thousand experience points away from leveling up.

The eighth symbol on the silver twenty-sided die was fully lit, and even the ninth symbol was partially lit.

Clearly, today's battle was of very high quality!
The battle itself may have had some flaws, but the result was perfect.

'What will it be this time?' Anser asked with anticipation.

He touched the twenty-sided die with his consciousness, and fragments of memory surfaced in his mind: the siege of Jacquelineburg, the traveler's rest, the battle of Rock Castle...

He deliberately slowed down the previous battle scenes and carefully observed the magician's reaction. He suddenly realized that the other party wanted to draw cards from the tarot cards several times. At first, he hesitated, but later he didn't have the chance.
