as he read, his head nodded up and down as if in understanding, and his eyes gradually deepened.

the soul retreat crystal, a death-type magic artifact, serves to protect the soul detached from the physical body and assist the soul in retreating quickly.

it is a one-time escape device.

it can swiftly leave the battlefield with the user’s soul, after the user’s physical body is destroyed.

it has three drawbacks:

firstly, the escape speed becomes slow after being initially fast.

when leaving the physical body, the crystal’s escape speed is rapid, but this speed can only be maintained for a few seconds.

in the following time, the soul inside it must continuously provide soul strength to keep the crystal’s escape speed above 10 meters per second.

if the soul strength is not sufficient, the crystal’s escape speed will plummet. it will easily be locked in by the enemy.

the second drawback is that this crystal is very fragile, basically shattering upon contact—this is why it is shattered by the cavern stalkers.

the third drawback:

this thing can only provide the most basic protection; it cannot envelop the soul as completely as the physical body does.

anyone can directly see the soul inside it.

the crystal cannot block the prying of others on the soul like the physical body does.

complex and expensive.
