Chapter 2152 Inheritance


    Ever since learning the truth behind Shinta''s existence and setting his mind on rescuing his daughter, Emery''s inner turmoil had mostly settled. Boarding the Ouroboros mothership, he patiently adhered to the Queen''s arrangements. Assured that Shinta was not in immediate danger, the ship embarked on a journey to visit other Serpent n allies to garner their support.


    With at least a week before reaching their destination, Emery retreated to his Magus Domain, determined to further prepare himself for any challenges thaty ahead.


    One immediate step to increase his strength was to fullyprehend Mo Yan''s inheritance. Since Emery began dominating the hunchback ve master''s soul, he had gleaned fragments of the man''s memories. When he fully devoured the spirit master, Emery sessfully acquired a few of Mo Yan''s secret techniques, though they were iplete.


    In thest few weeks, Emery meticulously delved into these fragmented memories. Each piece of information was like a puzzle, gradually revealing the intricate details of Mo Yan''s legacy. Three high-grade techniques from Mo Yan''s inheritance stood out above the rest: [Spectral Gaze], [Spectral Form], and his renowned [Envement techniques]. Given hisck of high-grade spirit attack spells, Emery decided to focus on learning the tier 7 [Spectral Gaze] first, as it was the mostplete of the three.


    Utilizing VIA''s assistance, Emery meticulously reconstructed the spell. He purchased multiple rted tier 6 spirit attack spells and high-grade materials, sessfully forming the spell two weeks ago during his time at the academy. However, mastering this tier 7 spell required months of dedicated practice. Currently, its potency wasparable to a tier 6 spell, providing minimal effects against grand magus realm figures.


    [Spectral Form] was a tier 7 spell that transformed the strength of souls into a tangible form, providing both defensive and offensive capabilities. This spell had the potential to significantly enhance Emery''sbat repertoire, especially bypensating for hisck of robust defensive skills. However, it came with a significant drawback: its effectiveness was directly tied to the number of souls captured.


    Emery had witnessed the soul prison that Mo Yan had created, a formidable structure that required vast resources and a minimum of a thousand captured souls to reach its basic stage of power. To maximize its potential, even more souls were needed. Building such a prison would be a monumental task, demanding not only the collection of valuable materials but also the procurement of a staggering number of souls.


    While capturing a few dozen criminals and using their souls to enhance his power was within Emery''s capabilities and ethical boundaries, the scale required for [Spectral Form] was daunting. Capturing thousands of souls, even if they were criminals, could lead to unforeseen consequences. One pirate could be a faction''s long-lost son; one bandit could be a rtive of a Magus Alliance official.


    Emery knew that if he relied on this method as his foundation to power, he risked bing a target himself. One mistake, and not only could he endanger his Earth faction, but he could be hunted by powerful factions even the Magus Alliance, just as Mo Yan had been.


    Unfortunately, the same foundation of soul umtion that empowered [Spectral Form] was also integral to Mo Yan''s fearsome tier 8 envement technique. This inheritance detailed that with a sufficientlyrge collective of souls, one could wield control over tens of grand magus figures. The sheer power and potential ofmanding such forces were undeniably tempting for Emery. However, mastering this technique required a profoundprehension of thew of envement, aplex and dark magical discipline that Emery was reluctant to delve deeply into.


    Despite his inability to fully master either [Spectral Form] or the [Envement technique], Emery found hope in dissecting and modifying these spells to suit his principles and needs better. His innovative mind began to explore the possibilities of adapting these powerful techniques in a way that aligned with his moral boundaries and personal strengths.


    One ambitious project came to mind: instead of relying on captured souls, could he harness the energy of Khaos to fuel these spells? If he could tap into the raw, energy of Khaos, he might be able to achieve simr effects without resorting to morally questionable methods.


    The second project involved salvaging the soul prison itself, a feat that promised to unlock new possibilities within his Magus Domain. The intricate formation runes thatprised the prison''s structure had the unique ability to amodate a multitude of magus from different paths and spiritws. If Emery could decipher and reconstruct these runes, he could enhance the versatility of his domain, allowing him to host a wider range of guests and potentially increasing his mobility when using Khaos waypoints.


    Both projects gave him thrills, offering tantalizing challenges and immense potential for his growth as a magus. Unfortunately, the prospect of such reconstruction, if even possible, loomed dauntingly ahead, requiring months, if not years a luxury of time that he simply didn''t possess.


    Unable to embark on borate projects or delve into extensive research, he was left with thest shelved project, one that came from salvaging part of Mo Yan''s formidable envement techniques.

    Emery had achieved a breakthrough inprehending this tier 6 spell. However, despite his best efforts and a considerable investment of resources, he encountered failure after failure in his attempts to reconstruct the spell. Three times he tried, pouring an exorbitant sum of 20 million spirit stones into procuring the necessary materials, only to meet with disappointment each time. Seizing the opportunity while still aboard the Ouroboros spaceship, he secretly utilized his Khaos waypoints to ess additional resources. With another hefty investment of 20 million spirit stones and hours of tireless effort and unwavering perseverance, Emery''s diligence paid off. With a sense of triumph tinged with relief, he sessfully reconstructed the [Partial Soul Envement].


    Returning to his Magus Domain, Emery wasted no time in putting his newly acquired skill to the test. Venturing into the chamber where the colossal King Roc beast was securely restrained, he embarked on a rigorous regimen of practice and experimentation, eager to gauge the effectiveness of his newfound ability.


    Fully immersed in his training, Emery was interrupted by a sudden knock on his door. Startled, he returned to his room and opened the door to find Master Atika standing before him, a surprising and unexpected visitor.
