Chapter 732 - Tricks Are Not Necessarily Hostile (1/2)

The cave looked dark and deep.

Roland had the three magic spiders crawl in.

Thanks to the dark vision of the magic spiders, Roland could see that the walls of the cave were also made of crystal.

However, due to the lack of light in the cave, the crystals weren’t as splendid as those on the surface.

The spiders soon crawled to the depths of the cave, and Roland was rather surprised to see what was inside.

Having played the game for years, he had seen most things in this world, including the gods. There were few things that could surprise him. However, what he saw now was still beyond his expectation.

This place was a spacious underground house, in which there was an assortment of experimental equipment. There was also some wooden furniture at the end of the simple room.

That wasn’t really surprising. What really surprised Roland was the person who lay on a simple bed at the end of the cave.

The person was none other than Jabezo.

Or rather, he was a man who almost looked identical to Jabezo.

As if he sensed Roland watching, the man sat up and glanced at the three spiders. He then stared at the middle one and smiled. “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting.”

The sound and picture were transmitted back to Roland’s head almost at the same time.

He looked even colder.

The guy knew him. Was he really Jabezo? Also, the guy knew that he was coming? At this moment, Roland felt that he had been bound by the intangible thing that was fate. Last time he had such a feeling, it was when he met Mordenkainen in the branch of time.

After a while, as if he knew that Roland hadn’t moved, the man on the bed said, “Come on in. You are a Golden Son. I can’t kill you. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

The man sounded quite sincere.

Roland was still considering.

It was true that he wasn’t scared of death as a Golden Son, but he was already level 13 and each death would mean a drop of one level. It would take him six months to one year to get back to this level.

That was a serious problem.

After a while, the man who was likely Jabezo coughed and said, “Come in. I really don’t want to hurt you. I’m losing control over the magic power crystals.”

Fine… Roland decided to take the risk.

That being said, Roland made the necessary preparations such as casting Magic Shield and other buffs on himself before he came in.

But he knew that it was barely meaningful, as even the most awesome buffs and magic equipment wouldn’t be useful against a guy who knew Grand Disjunction.

Unless the equipment was divine, such as the Life Goddess’s Button or the Nether God’s War Scythe.

Such equipment could only be destroyed by a Grand Disjunction that was boosted by divine power.

After all the preparations, Roland flew above the cave on a cloud and then crawled in.

The sea of magic power crystals disrupted the magic power in the area and made the flowing magic power invasive.

It was why the animals that stepped in the area were crystallized.

However, Mages were highly resistant to the invasion. However, controlling magic power was their strong suit.

In the cave, Roland set up a luminous ball and slowly moved forward with his hands on the smooth crystal wall. About ten minutes later, he reached the very end of the cave, and saw Jabezo pale and exhausted on the bed. In the spiders’ night vision mode, the picture was green, so it was hard for him to see other people’s color.

“Thank you for trusting me and coming in.” Jabezo smiled and tried to stand up, but then he fell back to his bed. He breathed heavily for a while and said weakly, “Sorry, but I don’t think I can properly greet you.”

Roland frowned. “You’re still alive? I clearly sensed that your soul was gone.”

“Yes, the other half of me was indeed gone, so I’m about to vanish too.”

Jabezo’s smile seemed rather helpless.

After a brief shock, Roland asked in surprise, “You cut your soul into two pieces?”

“Yes.” Jabezo nodded.

Roland felt a strong headache coming on.

While souls could be regenerated and strengthened, they were all unique.

It meant that there couldn’t be two identical souls in this world.

Even if one cut one’s soul into two halves, and the two halves grew back to the original size and strength, they wouldn’t really count as two souls, they would just be powerful half-souls.

If one of the souls died, the other wouldn’t be able to survive for long.

It was similar to quantum entanglement. The only exception was that they could repair and regenerate the half-soul like liches who knew soul spells well.

Roland clicked his tongue. “You can regenerate your soul. You used to be a Demigod. Don’t tell me you can’t do that.”

“I really can’t,” said Jabezo helplessly. “Because I’m only the soul of my secondary personality.”

Roland was truly shocked.

Up until just now, he had always thought that the Jabezo he killed was the secondary soul.

After all, it didn’t make sense at all that a Demigod would fall in love with an ordinary storm worshipper.

Even if he did, the best he would’ve done was to send a secondary soul to repay the favor.

However, if what Roland killed was the primary soul, it would explain why this soul was dying

“I don’t understand.” Roland’s eyebrows were furrowed. “Why is your main soul out in the world while your secondary soul practices magic here?”

“Because I did fall in love with that woman. I certainly had to let my main soul live with her.”

Roland shrugged. He didn’t say anything, but he wasn’t really convinced.

“I can tell that you don’t buy that.” Jabezo smiled miserably. “You’ve never seen the old lady when she was young, right? I’ll show it to you.”

After that, he raised both hands and waved them.

Roland subconsciously stepped back and waited warily.

But Jabezo didn’t cast any offensive spells. A mist appeared between them, and magic light beamed out. Very soon, a beautiful girl with pink hair appeared in the mist.

Projecting images with mental power… That was an advanced application of mental power. Roland wasn’t capable of doing that yet, mainly because his level wasn’t high enough.

It probably wouldn’t be a problem after he became a Legend.

Roland was still admiring the guy for his skills with mental power. But then he put on a weird expression.
