Magicians never make wishes

The second young master's soul has been extracted, and his mutated body is now just an empty shell.

A silver light arrived swiftly, and a ray of it first covered the empty shell of the body that had been left behind.

Suddenly, the four-legged body was enveloped in a silver light.

The colors and the miraculous power of the gray leaves are exactly the same.

Gray Leaf's soul was also enveloped in silver light. The two silver lights gradually approached each other and eventually merged into one.

At this point, Gray Leaf's soul was completely integrated into the body of this monstrous beast.

"How could this happen..." Ronan's heart trembled.

Since the miracle is named "survival," even if it doesn't immediately cure Grayleaf, it should at least prolong her life to prevent her death.

But why was only her soul preserved, while she was given a new monster's body...?

Ronan witnessed once again the terrifying power of divinity.

He couldn't help but ask himself:

Can an ordinary person like me, who has transmigrated from another world, really handle something like a godhood?

He quickly realized that the question was meaningless.

His divinity had long been integrated into his soul; it was an inseparable part of him.

Instead of wallowing in self-doubt, let's think about what other options there are.

Ronan looked at the panel.

It was discovered that the values ​​on the panel changed after "Miracle Gift" was performed:

———Miraculous Godhood———

[Owner: Ronan]

[Wish Power Reserves: 9]

[Status: Severely damaged (awaiting repair)]

[Power: to deprive, to bestow, to descend]

[Features: Analysis]

Previously, Grayleaf's Miracle Power had 9 units, but there was no information about Miracle Power on the panel.

Instead, my willpower increased by 8 points out of nowhere.

Clearly, these eight wishes come from the power of miracles.

Since the realization of the 'Survival' miracle also requires the consumption of willpower, it is easy to know that 1 unit of miracle power is equal to 1 point of willpower.

In other words, granting a miracle only consumes about 10% of the miracle power, while the remaining 90% becomes a processing fee.

This is way too dark...

Without saying a word, he activated [Descent], and his soul instantly appeared on the Supreme God Throne.

The cold numbers on the panel only have meaning when used to strengthen the soul and enhance spiritual power.

He acted swiftly, transforming all the remaining willpower while retaining only 1 point of it.

Willpower Reserves: 9 → 1.

The eight points of aspiration instantly transformed into abundant spiritual energy.

As his soul became more fulfilled, his mental strength was also directly enhanced.

According to his original calculation, his mental strength had first increased to 14, and now it has jumped to 25, an increase that is nothing short of terrifying.

It's worth noting that the last boost to mental strength included the bonus from the introductory meditation technique.

Now, the only amplification comes from one's own soul.

Moreover, his depleted mental energy has been fully restored, and he has once again reached his peak condition.

Ronan sat on the supreme throne, feeling his control over the temple space increase once again.

It was at this moment that he noticed another wisp of smoke outside the temple.

His consciousness was connected to the temple; it was just a thought in his mind.

The entire hall responded, and an invisible force immediately seized the wisp of smoke and presented it before them.

The soul was too thin, but Ronan recognized it at a glance as the second young master's soul.

Just now, he had witnessed the entire process of the second young master's soul being pulled from his mutated body into the spatial wormhole.

Sure enough, the souls of those who made wishes would return to the temple after death.

In that case, the illusory face in the magic circle must have discovered that the Second Young Master's soul, which it had obtained with great difficulty, had suddenly disappeared, and then somehow located it directly on his body, which is why it launched a fierce attack.

No, the temple and reality are separated by countless dimensions, how could it be located so easily?

Ronan immediately dismissed this possibility.

He preferred to believe that only he and Grayleaf were still able to move, and that the illusory face had marked them.

Ronan decided to temporarily refrain from using the second young master's soul as a consumable for repairing his godhood.

Dunshan's soul has only been repaired to a little over half its original state, and the soul of the Second Young Master alone probably won't be of much use.

There are more important things to do now.

Ronan quickly exited the temple space and returned to reality.

He glanced down at the strange brand on his chest, and a massive amount of spiritual energy surged out, enveloping it layer by layer.

In an instant, he felt that the connection in the dark had suddenly become intermittent.

This branding is indeed a tracking method.

I'll have to look into whether there's any way to completely get rid of it...

Ronan stayed in the temple space for a long time, but in reality, only a moment had passed.

At this moment, Gray Leaf's soul had merged into the beast's body and had already gone through the adaptation process.

Ronan saw that the beast's four legs were gradually moving, and the veins on its body were beginning to throb.

I thought we would see a monster version of Gray Leaf, but unexpectedly, the monster's head suddenly bulged with veins and it opened its eyes wide.

These eyes contained only the whites of the eyes and menacing blood vessels distributed around the eye sockets.

It lacks both human agility and any rationality.

This is not a gray leaf!

Ronan was startled.

Immediately afterwards, the monstrous beast suddenly convulsed and went berserk on the spot.

My left eye, which originally only had white, suddenly gained a bright, lively eyeball.

This eyeball made the beast's entire left side of its face look a bit more human.

Ronan looked to his left eye.

The moment their eyes met, he knew that this was the real Grayleaf.

It seems.

For unknown reasons, Grayleaf did not fully control the body of this monstrous beast.

Or perhaps a new power grabber has appeared out of nowhere.

The monstrous beast raised its head and roared angrily.

Its agile left eye returned to white, and then, as if it had completely lost its mind, it began to indiscriminately attack the surrounding corpses of the polluted beings.

It often just involves a sweeping motion of the forelimbs.

The polluters, along with the stone pavement of the square, will be shattered.

It rampaged through the area, destroying everything in its path, and gradually approached the altar in the center of the square.

Upon seeing this, Ronan immediately recovered from his shock and worry.

The monstrous beast's body possesses regenerative abilities, so there's no need to worry about Gray Leaf's soul dissipating after the beast dies.

Now, it's more important to focus on yourself.

He ran to the side of the unconscious Evil Axe not far away and reached into Evil Axe's bag.

After some searching, Ronan pulled out the deposit for this mission: a basic healing potion.

He pried open the mouth, unscrewed the bottle, and slowly poured the pale green potion into the axe's mouth.

Before long, the axe slowly woke up, "Captain?"

Oral primary treatments are more effective than topical applications.

Boom!

As Ronan had expected, the altar in the center of the square began to crumble and shatter.

The monstrous beast, like an excavator, launched a fierce attack on the altar that blocked its path.

"Hurry up!" Ronan said succinctly.

When the evil axe turned around and saw this scene, he was terrified.

He remembered what Akahoshi had said.

This altar contains multiple unknown magic arrays...

"If it is damaged carelessly, it could cause the magic array's energy to go out of control, thus triggering a chain of explosions..."

Things like that.

He suddenly rolled to his feet, and the fanny pack hanging on his chest bumped against him lightly.

The axe paused briefly, then quickly caught up with Ronan's pace.

Ronan ran to the side of Grayleaf's original body, hesitated for two seconds, and then reluctantly put the gray elf's body into his storage bag.

With the Adventurers' Guild's preservation technology, there's no need to worry about this body for the time being.

Ronan always harbored a certain expectation.

Those who made a wish will have their souls wander outside the temple after they die.

If there were a way to recreate physical bodies for these souls, would that mean they could be resurrected?

I wonder if those who are granted miracles will also receive this treatment...

"Boom!"

Under the relentless clawing of the monstrous beast, the walls of the altar collapsed, revealing the chaotic runes inside.

"You wicked axe, carry me into the cave!"

Ronan acted decisively, quickly jumping onto the back of the axe.

He could see that the runes inside the altar were flashing incessantly, a harbinger of an impending chain reaction of explosions.

"Captain, which one should we choose?"

The evil axe carried Ronan and ran wildly, but stopped in front of many cave entrances.

"I'll choose that one."

Ronan pointed to a cave entrance, a place he had chosen once before, but had failed to enter due to unforeseen circumstances.
