Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 95 Miracle Pattern Deprivation

Ronan hadn't expected the chairman's wish to be so reasonable.

Analysis of the wish reveals that it fully complies with the regulations.

The subject of the wish is clear, pointing directly to himself, unlike Dunshan's wish which didn't even have a subject.

Moreover, the chairman's wish was more specific than that of Dunshan Xu.

It simply increases lifespan, and the lifespan value is very precise, rather than possessing any vague or ethereal power.

Most importantly, the president did not choose to pay the price, but instead estimated the power of his will by reducing the feedback value.

Ronan even suspected that he might have made a wish somewhere.

The question now is: should this wish be allowed to come true?

The answer is obviously no.

Ronan couldn't bear the chairman's wish going wrong, and then, like Dunshan, he would directly undergo a distortion.

However, when he selected "No" to deny the request, another prompt popped up on the panel:

[Currently, the strength of the will is insufficient to deny the validity of the wish.]

This left Ronan speechless.

If you can't deny it, then why ask me?

So far, miracles have always been triggered by divine intervention when willpower has dropped to zero.

The power [Descent] cannot be used actively; it can only be used to teleport his soul to the temple space. Ronan guessed that this might be related to the damage to his divine status.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the function of "denying the fulfillment of a wish" is likely a process that only occurs when [Descent] is actively used.

Unable to deny his desire, Ronan was at a loss for what to do.

Could it be that by bringing the chairman in this time, he actually made his wish come true?

Ronan was somewhat unwilling; it was harder to accept that his enemy could achieve his wish than that he himself could not.

But at this point, hoping that divinity will distort wishes is rather unrealistic.

Although the deity is in a "severely incomplete" state, in terms of making wishes, as long as the content of the wish is reasonable and the wisher's own willpower is sufficient—

There is a high probability that your wish can be fulfilled normally.

Ronan racked his brains for a long time, going through every possible solution, but still couldn't find a way to deal with the current predicament.

There was no other way but to reluctantly agree.

At least his mental strength has been fully restored, so he's not completely powerless to fight back.

[Your wish has come true!]

[Wish Power Reserves +10]

I have gained 12 points of wish power, which is a percentage of my wish.

Ronan almost forgot about this: when someone makes a wish, half of the divine power is directly extracted.

In other words, the president himself has 24 points of willpower.

With these 12 points of willpower, Ronan can further strengthen his soul, taking his mental power to the next level.

According to the previous wish-making process of Dunshan, once a wish is granted, it will be immediately transmitted back to reality, and the process of fulfilling the wish will begin.

Ronan had planned to use the newly acquired power of will after the chairman was teleported away.

But he discovered that everything around him seemed to have stopped, and even the president below was in a state of time freeze.

A panel suddenly popped up in front of me, displaying the following message:

[If a perfect miracle is discovered, should the miracle be deprived?]

Miracle stripped?

Ronan quickly looked at the panel and saw that the word "Deprive" in the Powers section had turned red and was flashing continuously.

There was no room for hesitation; he immediately chose "Yes" without a second thought.

next second.

A scale appeared before Ronan's eyes. The scale seemed like a phantom projection, yet it exuded an ancient and supreme aura.

At this moment, on the left side of the balance, several orbs of light floated above it, emitting varying degrees of faint light.

When the mind makes contact, the information of the light cluster is automatically presented.

"First-circle magic 'Blood Pact', Blood Mage class (temporary), Life Energy Absorption Core, Seed of Class ————"

These orbs of light were actually all related to the guild leader.

The light clusters were roughly the same size, but their brightness varied.

The darker orb contains the "Life Source Energy Absorption Core" and the "Blood Mage Class (Temporary)";

The most prominent features are "Seed of Class" and "199-year lifespan".

Ronan discovered that once he selected a ball of light on the left side of the scale, a soul that looked exactly like him would appear on the right side of the scale.

It appears that this spirit is his soul.

When he selects light clusters of different brightness levels, the soul on the right side of the scale will also appear to grow larger or smaller accordingly.

He understood that different orbs of light corresponded to different portions of the soul.

It was only at this time that he understood, through his divine status, the use of [deprivation] of power.

When a "perfect miracle" occurs that can be achieved normally without distortion and at a sufficient cost, the power of [deprivation] can be exercised according to the established formula.

The specific formula is as follows:

Condition: A "Perfect Miracle" is about to occur;

Cost: Consumes soul;

Result: Choose either the miracle or the item owned by the person who made the wish to be taken away;

In summary, Ronan can consume his own soul, and by the specific amount of soul consumed, choose the miracle itself or the object possessed by the wisher and directly deprive it of its possession.

Given his current total amount of souls, the only way to avoid affecting himself is to strip away one of the orbs of light.

Of these, "a lifespan of 199 years" is undoubtedly the most valuable.

Unfortunately, we are still in the midst of a battle. If we don't take down the guild leader, having more lifespan won't help.

Therefore, this option was immediately ruled out.

As for the "Blood Mage Class (Temporary)" orb, it is actually one of the darkest orbs, so the "temporary" part must have some significance.

He guessed that the guild leader might have used unconventional methods to break through in a short period of time and become a Blood Mage.

After the time limit expires, you might regress to your original state, and you might even have to pay a price.

This option is also directly excluded.

Ronan also wanted to strip away all the orbs of light, but his soul was far from powerful enough to do so.

After looking around, he finally chose the orb of light from the "Seed of Class".

Judging from what the guild leader said before, his ability to become a Blood Mage may be related to this "Seed of Class".

Once you acquire this, you'll not only gain something yourself, but you'll also weaken your enemies.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

He selected the orb of light of "Class Seed" on the left side of the scale, and the soul he was to sacrifice immediately appeared on the right side.

Once the pattern is established, time restarts.

Ronan returned to reality from the temple space in the blink of an eye.

He immediately realized that a part of his soul was missing, but since the amount was limited, it wouldn't have any significant impact.

The cost of consuming one's soul is a fixed price, and it is unavoidable.

As for the outcome of the formula, it had already taken root in his mind, transforming into a seed that shimmered with a faint light.

This seed was none other than the "Seed of Class".

At the same time, as soon as the president on the other side regained consciousness, he found that his life force had become unusually abundant, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

He could clearly sense that he had indeed gained more than a hundred years of lifespan.

However, the president couldn't laugh at all.

Because he discovered that the "Seed of Class" in his mind had disappeared.

When Ronan saw the glowing mark between his eyebrows disappear, a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

The impact of losing the "Seed of Class" on the guild leader came faster than he had imagined.

He was no longer a Blood Mage; his professional level had declined, causing his strength to regress as well.

Not only was it unable to maintain the operation of the ring-level magic "Blood Pact," but even the protective shield in front of it became extremely unstable.

Offense and defense can easily switch.

Ronan used the 11 newly added points of willpower to strengthen his soul, and his total mental strength soared from 45 to 60, further enhancing his power.

At that moment, he unhesitatingly fired a "scorching ray," which directly shattered the two layers of blood-red cages and the protective shield in front of the guild leader.

"Why? I didn't pay any price—why did I lose my class seed?!"

The president muttered to himself, his eyes bloodshot, appearing as if he were going mad.

Completely unaware, Ronan fired a second "scorching ray" at him immediately after shattering the protective shield.

Only when he was enveloped in a blinding white light did he dazedly raise his head and say with a sense of relief, "In the end—it was not respectful enough to the gods—"

After saying that, the president's figure disappeared into the white light.

Ronan felt a sense of relief after finally getting rid of the chairman.

To prevent the guild leader from having any hidden tricks like Blood Duke, he immediately activated the Soul Devouring function of the Mask of Truth.

To his surprise, the chairman really didn't have any backup plans.

His fragmented soul was absorbed into the soul storage area of ​​the Mask of Truth.

As soon as Ronan touched upon it, fragmented pieces of memory came through.

From these fragments of memory, he saw the president's profound memories of his youth, as well as many of his actions in recent years.

It turns out that he chose to become a life-type mage in order to restore his physical body.

To this end, the president resorted to any means necessary and committed many inhumane acts, including harming teammates to seize treasures, cultivating suitable candidates for life energy, conducting forbidden human experiments, and selecting students to obtain fresh organs, among other things.

Apart from Arabella, everyone else who arrived earlier in the surrounding incubation chambers had become living dead, mere shells of flesh.

Ronan browsed through the chairman's crimes, and although they were only brief memories, he was horrified by the various inhuman acts.

Until he saw the chairman shaking hands with someone.

In this memory, the other party said they could provide the chairman with various fresh human organs for human experimentation.

The conditions are sharing experimental results and conveniently solving problems for people who are inconvenient to do things themselves.

They discussed that anyone who entered the society with two fixed faces would be secretly killed.

These two fixed faces are a man and a woman, respectively.

Ronan was very familiar with both faces, especially the man's appearance, which was the face he was now using as the Mask of Truth.

That's right, the person who colluded with the guild leader is none other than Morgan, the manager of the Adventurers' Guild.

From the moment he handed the "disguise mask" to Ronan under the pretense of being an undercover agent, he had already planned to use the president of the Secret Arts Society to eliminate Ronan.

The Adventurers' Guild possesses advanced preservation technology, giving it a unique advantage in the sale of human organs.

One provided the materials, while the other was responsible for the experiments and assisted in the killings.

No wonder the two of them were able to collude together.

Fragments of memory suggest that the two had used this collaborative model to kill several people that the managers were unable to do personally.

Ronan suddenly realized.

No wonder Higgs reminded him to be extra careful when he was receiving him.

No wonder the woman at the Ruby Dream Pavilion said that she always said that when she talked about the first time she met Ronan. It turns out that they had seen Ronan's current face more than once.
