Chapter 3
The sky was covered with light gray clouds that kept on rolling in the whistling wind, and the waves lost their original color under the shroud of dark clouds and became very dark, under the clouds, a lone sea island was silently enduring the harassment of the waves, and the weather appeared to be very eerie within dozens of miles of the sea island's circumference.
In the center of the island, there was a sizable villa, and Edward was standing in the basement, operating his original magic array.
With a string of long incantations, all kinds of strange runes appeared out of thin air, rapidly rotating around the magic array, and in the magic array, a pale young man was trembling, as if saw the god of death, staring at the approaching runes, his eyes were full of despair and sadness.
After a while, Edward was done with his incantations, the magic staff in his hand gently knocked to the ground, the magic array suddenly appeared in a darkness, as if it could swallow everything, and the young man was the first to be enveloped by the light.
Edward took a deep breath, cohesion of magical power, and began to chant a spell, the light gray clouds in the sky turned green-black, a silver serpent after another to be the first to break through the sky, the waves also followed a wave after the wave of the lonely island, but as if in fear of something, the waves lapped in front of the villa's sandy beach and then timidly retreated.
The might of heaven and earth raged for some moments before slowly subsiding, the villa's magic array of light gradually became dim, slowly spit out the teenager, Edward's right hand tightly grasping the magic staff, left hand took out a magic scroll, eyes unblinking staring at the teenager, as long as the slightest wrong, he will immediately throw the scroll out.
One of the ten powerful sorcerers, Edward resolutely gave up the title of the world's most powerful sorcerer, living in seclusion on the island and practicing hard magic, just to break through the bottleneck! Edward was in his fifties but not to the point of seeing through the world.
He liked power, money, and beautiful women. He gave up temporarily when he noticed that, with the power he has gotten, there wasn't much to see through the essence of life. To him, he had no magical Achievement to back him which made him nothing in the magical world. After breaking through his bottleneck and becoming a leading figure in the field of magic, his power and status will increase in folds.
Giving up now was for future enjoyment! More than enjoyment, his name would be longed for by countless worlds and even future generations, birds die and leave their voices, people die and leave their nation's supreme prestige, what is there to let go of? And in Edward's heart, there was an expectation. He hoped to understand the mystery between life and death, to put it bluntly, in addition to what he wanted to get in front of him, he also wanted to become an immortal person! The magic array he set up was precisely to open up a passageway from space straight to the Evil Spirit Abyss.
"Philips" Edward called out softly when he saw that the teenager didn't make any movement. It was not his first experiment, in the back of the villa, there were hundreds of teenage skeletons buried. They are the failed products of the experiment. With Edward's reputation and status, he was luring some of the teenagers with dreams to practice his magic.
In the past Seven years, Edward has made hundreds of experiments, but they all failed. Edward has always good in exercising patient. He understood the truth that there is no genius in the world and achievements were not accomplished without a series of pain. There is no success story without unimaginable sweat and failure. No gain without pain, they say.
Although Edward was a fire magician, only in recent years he began to contact the alternative dark magic, but Edward also has a comprehension of space magic. He was aware that his existence in the space structure had limits. When the powerful existence of the other world comes to this space, will be subjected to the constraints of the space, the powerful existence of a breakthrough in the limitations of the ability, and the collapse of the entire space no matter how the mood of that powerful existence or intended to do, it couldn't and didn't dare to use its full power, and the vacuum confinement scroll in his hand was enough to confine the peak power of this space!
Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, there were only three vacuum confinement scrolls left, one of them was used by Wizard Richard to confine the orc chief James seventy years ago, while the God of Law and the Sword Saint became an eternal legend in the war when he defeated the Demon King Aaron, a thousand years ago, and no one can make the vacuum confinement scrolls again. If It was not a sudden situation that threatened his life, Edward would unwarranted use the scroll in his hand.
" Philips" Edward called out once more.
The teenager whose name was 'Philip' slowly opened his eyes, he looked around blankly, and finally turned his sight to Edward, crying out sadly.
"Are you alright?" Edward felt an overwhelming sense of frustration in his heart, having failed Philip. At the same time, he felt very curious, because the previous failures had lost their consciousness, his magic array was first and foremost to extract the souls of the experimental subjects to allow the evil spirits of the Evil Spirit Abyss to possess the experimental subjects, Philips was the first one that was still able to speak after the experience. Was there a problem with the magic array? Philip used his spiritual power to detect it, everything was normal, which made Philip even more incomprehensible.
"Me? I'm fine!" Philip touched his body, "Master, what's wrong with me? Is there something strange?" He furthered questioned
"What did you just see? What did you feel?" He quietly scanned over Philip's body with his spiritual power and realized that Philip's body was more fragile than before. Edward ruled out the possibility that the Evil Spirit had already possessed the body of his mother Evil Spirits of the Spirit Abyss were, but all of them were mindless ferocious creatures that only knew how to destroy and kill, they wouldn't and didn't care to use fraudulent means, besides, the Evil Spirit's possession of the body would make the experiment's body hundreds or thousands of times stronger, the last experiment just couldn't withstand too much power and triggered the collapse of the whole body, and now philip's body has turned fragile, all without a single trace of Evil Spirit Possession at all.
"I felt that I was flying in a dark passage, unable to see any light, and then I woke up immediately I heard your yells" Philip mumbled.
"Do you think there is a problem with the magic array" Philip inquired.
"No, you don't need to worry about it" Edward responded
"Master, what time is it now? I should go prepare dinner for you, right?" Philip stood up shakily.
"There's no need to rush, it's still early, you should rest for a while." Edward was a little touched, among the teenagers he abducted using various means, only Philip knew how to take care of people the most.
"No, teacher, it's you that should go and rest!" Philip firmly desired me to become a magician, and the teacher did not hesitate to use magic power to build a magic array to transform my body for me. If I can't even do a good job of taking care of my teacher, do I still deserve to be your student?" He added in a questioning tone.
'Transforming the body' was just a pretense for Edward to trick the teen into sacrificing their body for experiences. Hearing those words from Philip, Edward was not only touched, but also satisfied, he smiled and nodded, "Good thing of you, I'm still a bit tired, but Philip, you should also rest for a while before going to prepare dinner. Also, Don't forget to bring out that bottle of red wine in the cellar, you'll drink some then too before you relax."
"Understood, teacher" Philipilipr bent down respectfully.
Edward laughed and turned around to walk out of the basement, he didn't see the sudden flash of coldness in Philip's eyes!
