chapter 38: the 30th generation’s oath

a man and a bound spirit stared at each other in the dark corridor for a long time.

it took noland just five minutes for his brows to relax from their furrowed state.

he thought of a method to perform a live exorcism on the bound spirit’s original master.

that was to draw a “mark of resentment” on the opponent’s body, and see what kind of effect this mark had, perhaps it could just exorcise the lost souls.

noland stepped gently, bypassing the bound spirit and came to the place where the black tornado disappeared.

after squatting down and searching for a few moments, noland secretly sighed in relief and picked up the intact rune staff from the ground.

this thing was worthy of being a military-grade alchemical tool, having “survived” the death storm…

noland gripped the rune staff and stood in front of the bound spirit.

he took a deep breath, raised his arm, and pointed the tip of the rune staff towards the chest of the bound spirit.

if he touched the bound spirit with any part of his body, he would be hurt by its “soul sacrifice” skill.

only by using the contact point of the rune staff as a medium could he avoid the effects of “soul sacrifice” while still etching the “mark of resentment.”

the contact point slowly approached the bound spirit, and eventually touched the green light-emanating surface of the soul.

from the feedback of touch from the rune staff… the soul’s body was similar to jelly, with a bit of elasticity when poking it…

noland focused his mind, banishing stray thoughts, and gradually moved the contact point to draw the “mark of resentment.”

in the process of drawing, noland could feel his energy seeping away.

this energy flowed from his body up his arm, onto the rune staff, and merged into the mark.

just as noland was secretly speculating about the effects of this mark, the bound spirit suddenly floated forward a few centimeters.

the contact point inadvertently pierced into the bound spirit, bringing the nearly completed mark drawing to a halt.

noland’s heart skipped a beat.

without waiting for him to withdraw the rune staff, the bound spirit rushed towards him, straight and rigid.

noland immediately let go of the rune staff in his hand and retreated, but the bound spirit showed no sign of wanting to let him go and chased after him directly.

could it be that the act of drawing the mark was regarded as an attack signal by the bound spirit?… noland’s heart sank slightly as he realized that the situation was somewhat bad.

he dodged left and right in the corridor, retreating quickly, and the bound spirit always chased after him.

what was strange was that noland found the bound spirit’s flying speed not very fast.

the opponent did not give full power and instead slowed down, like a mud truck with the accelerator pedal to the metal, chasing the target with a relatively gentle and slow attitude.

noland was puzzled, but his footsteps never stopped.

finally, he retreated to the end of the corridor, hitting the stone wall that appeared out ot thin air.

the bound spirit stopped in front of him.

noland swallowed and said:

“brother, what do you want? if you want to beat me, just do it. don’t just look at me without saying anything… listen to me, what happened between us is an accident…”

silent, the bound spirit accelerated in an instant and drilled into noland’s body.

noland was caught off guard by the opponent’s move.

his body stiffened suddenly, and he could only rely on the stone wall behind him to maintain his balance.

it turned out that the bound spirit did not want to fight!

noland did not feel the cold touch, nor the intense pain at the soul level.

on the contrary, in his own eyes, scenes of the past in the original master’s memory surfaced.

father richard jarvis, a graduate of the business specialty at bowerthain city college.

mother bagley, a laundry worker who learned to read only after meeting her husband.

starting from the year he stepped into society, his father joined an affiliated dealership of the weston group, working diligently and sincerely from an ordinary salesman.

the mother, on the other hand, made ends meet by doing odd jobs.

for the original master, they were not qualified parents.

they did not stand up for the original master when he was treated unfairly, and they rarely bought birthday gifts for him during his childhood.

the original master’s fate was inevitable.

his birth and growth coincided with the most difficult stage of his family. his parents worked day and night to make ends meet, enduring their bosses’ abuse, while the mother had to endure her employer’s exploitation.

after a day of work, both were exhausted.

however, the oldest son and the younger son made them very worried.

the oldest son spent all day mingling with poor students at school, severely testing their parents’ patience.

the younger son, who was the original master himself, had just been born and did not understand the troubles of adults, and spent every day making a mess with his crying and clumsy hands and feet.

this situation lasted until the birth of the little daughter.

at that time, the father became a supervisor-level figure with a generous salary, so the mother no longer needed to work part-time jobs.

the little daughter became the most cherished person for both parents.

as the second child, the original master was someone who had never been pampered since childhood and had to bear the pressure of life on his own. so, did the original master’s resentment come from his parents?

was he jealous of his sister?

noland’s heart was touched.

he sensed the thoughts of the original master and muttered to himself:

“no, i can feel that you don’t hate your parents.

“reading history makes people wise.

“your hobbies and professional knowledge allow you to view things that have happened to you with a more objective and tolerant attitude than ordinary people.

“in fact, when you grew up, you’ve already experienced the bitterness of your parents. you forgave them. if given time, you will have your own children, and you will never let the hardships you endured repeat on your children. this is the progress of history, the experience and lessons you draw from it…”

noland sighed and said:

“so, where does your resentment come from?…”

a picture appeared before his eyes, a symbol, a large logo engraved on the outer wall of a building.

the appearance of the symbol was a beaker and alcohol burner pattern made up of letters, and those letters came from the word “weston.” noland knew the answer now.
