Chapter 449 - 14: Death Rule
Chapter 449: Chapter 14: Death Rule
Lynch’s face changed suddenly, his whole body’s spiritual power instantly tightened. His pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
He knows!
This old man knows my real identity!
Seren, who was following Abbas, couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids at Lynch’s reaction. Even though he had already learned some of the situation from Abbas before coming here, seeing it with his own eyes was still shocking.
Could it be true?
A longtime collaborator of mine is actually a Black Wizard wanted by the Supreme Council!
My God!
The little cabin seemed to freeze instantly.
The flames in the stove seemed to pause for a moment. This was not an illusion, but the spillover of Lynch’s Time Magic interfering with the Spiritual Field.
After a brief pause, Lynch broke the silence. He asked, “Have you…investigated my background?”
After much consideration, he chose not to deny or feign ignorance, because the person had accurately pointed out his identity, which meant they were absolutely sure. Denying it in such a situation would be pointless.
Abbas smiled and said, “Not exactly an investigation.”
As he said this, he raised his finger and pointed to his eyes, “Eyes like these are rare in the Wizard World.”
Is this where it was exposed…
Lynch frowned.
He was certainly aware that his Eye of Death God was too conspicuous and had tried various ways to conceal or modify it.
However, the results were not ideal. The spiritual power of the Eye of Death God is very unique and has a very high priority. No matter how he conceals or modifies it, anyone who makes eye contact with him can sense the unusual spiritual power from his eyes, which is impossible to hide.
Lynch even considered removing the Eye of Death God and preserving it, and transplanting a pair of ordinary eyes, but ultimately decided against it after giving it some thought.
Actually, it’s not that he decided against it, but rather he couldn’t do it.
The Eye of Death God is connected to the bloodline, and the eyes themselves are not special—the special part is Lynch’s bloodline from the Ancient Grey Death God.
It is this bloodline that nourishes the eyes, turning them into the Eye of Death God. If the eyes were removed and lost the bloodline connection, they would quickly become just ordinary eyes. Similarly, even if ordinary eyes were transplanted, under the nourishment of the bloodline, they would inevitably change back into the Eye of Death God.
Unless Lynch gives himself alchemy eyes or stays blind for life, it’s impossible to conceal them.
Abbas took a sip of tea from the table, then said nonchalantly, “In recent years, there have only been two Eyes of Death God appearing, hmm… Alfred, you should know each other, right?”
Lynch hesitated, then nodded: “We’re from the same hometown.”
Abbas was not surprised by this: “The region where the Grey Death God’s bloodline is dispersed is quite scattered. Near the ruins area, only the southeastern part near Hurricane Canyon has a few residing.”
Hurricane Canyon, near Lynch’s hometown by the Putan Kingdom, is a landmark of the Wizard World.
The Human World frequently wars, kingdoms, and territories constantly merging and splitting. A human kingdom might disappear without a trace in a few years, so when Wizards refer to the Human World, they use some landmarks to establish concrete locations, not any specific kingdom.
After all, no matter how the order and kingdoms in the Human World change back and forth, the geography, landscapes, mountains, rivers, and lakes won’t change easily.
Abbas paused, then continued, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an activated Eye of Death God. Even among rare species, the Eye of Death God is one of the rarer types, that awakens naturally, which is very rare.”
Humans with Grey Death God’s bloodline aren’t many to start with. Out of these, those naturally possessing Wizard Talent are even rarer, and more challenging is that the power in the bloodline can only be activated after advancing as a Wizard, to obtain the Eye of Death God.
These harsh conditions indeed make it quite difficult.
Lynch shrugged, “It’s just a pair of eyes, providing some convenience in the soul aspect, nothing special.”
Abbas shook his head, “That’s where you’re wrong.”
Here his expression turned more serious, “You may think these eyes are simple now, only because you haven’t unlocked their true power yet. They have the ability to see through the Death Rule, and even among all Magic Rules, they are top tier.”
Lynch was stunned.
Is there such a notion?
But why have I never heard of it?
He has researched plenty about the Eye of Death God. The abilities described in books mostly come true after his advancement, mainly two abilities—to see others’ lifespan and the ruins can observe souls.
But the Death Rule, Lynch hadn’t heard of it at all.
Lynch asked puzzled, “Death Rule?”
Abbas nodded, “How much do you know about rules?”
Lynch thought for a moment: “Not much, just know that Wizard World has thousands of various magic rules, and each rule represents a magic system. Grasping a rule means mastering that system.”
Rules!
The fourth stage of Wizards.
Just like there are all kinds of physical laws on Earth, the magic world also has various laws, formulas, and these things are actually derived from one thing—
Rules!
Wind brings movement, Ice lowers temperature, Flames can burn, Earth is solid and heavy.
These are among the Magic Rules.
And mastering a rule also means mastering the core operation logic of its system, truly bringing research on this system to the peak.
Then the Wizard will be crowned with a new title—
Rule Wizard!
Abbas nodded and praised, “Not bad, very solid foundational knowledge, worthy of the genius from the new generation of Shadow Tower.”
He paused and explained, “The Eye of Death God itself contains a set of Death Rule, which can only be used by Wizards who have mastered the Eye of Death.”
“You haven’t realized it now because your eyes haven’t truly awakened. Only when they fully awaken, the power hidden in your bloodline will flow, and then those rules belonging solely to these eyes will all be grasped by you.”
He paused slightly, then said word by word, “That belongs to the power of the Death Rule!”
