The Cat Society’s Sector 8.

The 10th layer underground.

Noland Lee revisits his old haunts, his expression calm and composed,

Gazing at the cracks on the floor and the walls and the remnants of corpses with soul fragments yet to be collected, Noland Lee’s eyes reveal a thoughtful expression, as if he was learning for the first time that a battle had occurred here.

The fragments of corpses on the ground were Coudaman’s and those of the armed Alchemy Minions; amongst them were even two Lost Souls he himself had controlled.

They still had soul fragments on them.

Noland Lee pondered for a moment, but did not take these soul fragments.

Having deconstructed so many scholarly skills, he understood very well what he could and couldn’t do in front of Meow Judgment.

Like the soul fragments on these corpse fragments for instance.

In the extraordinary group known as the Wizards, the existence of soul fragments is not secret, but common knowledge.

They are a kind of spoils of war.

Since they are spoils of war, ownership is important.

These corpse fragments were indeed caused by Noland Lee himself-that wasn’t wrong.

But as they were now on the territory of Meow Judgement, even if Noland Lee was the true killer, he could not freely collect the soul fragments from the corpses. If he did so, he would be overstepping the rules. At the very least, he needed to get Meow Judgment’s approval.

There was another point to be careful about.

Noland Lee’s method of collecting soul fragments is through harmless deconstruction, which is very different from the ordinary Death Clan Wizards.

In the memories of Greenshaw and Hickman Arlington, when they collected soul fragments, half-transparent grey matter would be drawn out from corpses in an illuminating and animated way.

There was none of this when Noland Lee collected soul fragments.

It might still be fine when he does it on his own, but if others were watching, this would inevitably draw their attention.

So, very wisely, Noland Lee chose to ignore the soul fragments on the corpses, as if he hadn’t seen them.

“Ray Lee, you’re here-” Philia greeted him warmly, her eyes gleaming with the light of elemental energy,

“There are some soul fragments on these corpses. Would you like to take them?

This can be your share as spoils of war.”

Noland Lee curiously observed the other’s eyes, shook his head, and politely declined,

“No, Philia. I’m still recovering from the aftereffects of the Meditation method.

I can’t collect soul fragments for a while.”

When collecting “Soul Absorption” with harmless deconstruction, the system stripped off the negative effects of collecting soul fragments. Normally, collecting soul fragments would disturb the spirit of the collector. This is because soul fragments are essentially residues of emotions and thoughts. Taking in too many soul fragments in a short period of time would affect the spiritual activities of the collectors.

While absorbing soul fragments could be harmful, the same goes for the meditation method. Immediately after practicing the meditation method, the practitioner would be more sensitive, and the negative effects of soul fragments on him would be amplified.

The reason Noland Lee gave himself at this time couldn’t be more appropriate.

“What a pity.” Philia sighed regretfully and waved towards the direction behind her,

“Sandra, come collect these soul fragments from the corpses. Be quick, the soul fragments are starting to disperse.”

“Sandra? Is it Sandra “Betty”?” Noland Lee was visibly surprised.

He tilted his head, looking past Philia at the timid figure behind her.

Sandra “Betty” was like a little girl who’s done something wrong, hiding behind Philia, her face filled with tension and fear.

“You know Sandra?” Philia was taken aback for a moment, “Oh, right. You should know her. Yes, she’s Fars Scott’s cousin. But she hasn’t told Fars about being a wizard. Moreover, please keep it a secret for her.”

Noland Lee recovered from his surprise, nodded with a smile,

“Fine, I will keep her secret. But poor Fars, he’s still worried if Betty can pass the alchemy exam.”

“It’s alright, that’s not a big problem. Sandra will absolutely pass the alchemy exam. She just hasn’t thought of how to explain it to Fars yet… Alright Sandra, you don’t need to hide behind me anymore, quickly collect the soul fragments.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Whilst urging Sandra forward, Philia pulled a shy-looking Betty from behind her.

Betty stuck her tongue out at Noland Lee before skipping away.

She reached the corpses and took out a transparent hexahedral crystal from her pocket, raising it above the corpses.

Four colors of light shot out of the crystal, scanning the fragments of the corpses, and absorbing strands of semi-transparent, grey matter into it. Noland Lee threw a deconstruction technique at the crystal in Betty’s hand.

[System Message: ]

[You are about to apply the deconstruction technique on the “Universal Soul-absorbing Crystal”.]

[Based on the level of your Alchemy and Magic scholarly knowledge, the energy points required for this deconstruction have been reduced to 300 points.]

[Do you confirm the deconstruction?]

Noland Lee mentally confirmed the deconstruction, glanced at the deconstruction results, and nodded to himself.

He received the recipe for the Soul-absorbing Crystal.

This is a kind of magical creation, that could also be made using alchemy. It can store a maximum of 100 points of Soul Strength, with a shelf life of seven days. Once the shelf life is up, the soul fragments in the crystal will disappear.

It was a valuable magic tool that could replace “Soul Absorption”.

Noland Lee planned to carry a few extra ones as spare.

Noland Lee turned to Philia, who was instructing her team members, and asked,

“Philia, what happened here? Do you have any tasks for me?”

“Yes, Ray Lee, I’ve thought of a task for you. As you can see, we’ve had a serious conflict with the Blackbone Hermit who lingered here..”
