Chapter 291: 121. River of the Mind_2

He shook his head regretfully and sighed silently.

He glanced at the mess around him and looked up at the hollow above.

When he cast “Death Incarnate” just now, a “Death Storm” erupted around him, instantly killing the stacked Aberrations like a small mountain, at least 30 of them.

At this moment, there were probably around 50 Aberrations left in the corridor of Underground Layer 14.

Instead of running towards the hollow after coming out of the staircase, they were confused and spinning around in place, like they had suddenly lost their direction.

Noland’s gaze fell on the remains of the Young Raven, and he pondered as he lightly tapped his chin.

The thing that attracted the Aberrations should be the Young Raven itself.

With the death of the Young Raven, the thing attracting the Aberrations disappeared.

That’s why the group of Aberrations that had just stepped into this corridor had awakened from their artificially controlled mental state, and instead entered a puzzled state of “who am I, where am I, and what am I doing.”

So, what exactly helped the Young Raven in controlling the Aberrations?

Noland brought up the panel information of the Young Raven and was drawn to one of his Active Skills.

Name: Mind Control

Type: Mental control skill, high-ranking magic

Level: (20)

“()” represents that this skill is borrowed from another character and is not a skill possessed by the Young Raven himself.

Integrity: 10%

This skill is borrowed by the Young Raven. Its effect is only one-tenth of its normal state.

Effect:

After activating this skill, the Young Raven can establish a psychic link with Aberrations tainted by Ancient Raven Spirits and call them to protect him.

Description:

The owner of this skill is an Ancient Raven Spirit.

The Young Raven borrowed this skill from the Ancient Raven Spirit, and the Young Raven is not the controller of this skill.

If the Ancient Raven Spirits retake the permission for the Young Raven to use this skill, the skill will temporarily become unusable.

“What did the Young Raven say just now? Why can such a weak person like me use high-ranking magic?”

Confusion arose in Noland’s heart.

He had heard similar words before, spoken by Greenshaw before his death.

At that time, Noland had activated “Caster Form: Death Incarnation” and stood in front of Greenshaw.

Greenshaw immediately recognized that the magic was a high-ranking death-type magic. He incredulously said, “How can you use this magic without the authorization of the Lecturer Professor?”

Being questioned twice in a row about the legitimacy of using high-ranking magic, and seeing the high-ranking mental magic “Mind Control,” Noland suddenly understood where the problem was!

It turns out that in this world, using high-ranking magic requires the authorization of powerful Extraordinary individuals like Lecturer Professors!

Without the authorization of the Lecturer Professor, subordinate Wizards cannot use high-ranking magic. Similarly, people like Young Raven who follow Ancient Raven Spirits cannot use “Mind Control” without the permission of the Raven Spirits.

Greenshaw, as a Second Ring Wizard, had no right to use high-ranking magic.

Young Raven was a Third Order Black Bone Hermit and a higher rank than Greenshaw, allowing him to use high -ranking mental magic.

so…

At least a Third Order Extraordinary Person is eligible to use high-ranking magic?

Is that what it means?

Noland blinked his eyes and suddenly realized that the Deconstruction Core System was far more awesome than he had imagined.

Only he knew that he had obtained high-ranking Death-type magic through Harmless Deconstruction, completely bypassing the step of Lecturer Professor’s authorization.

This was like a breakthrough in monopoly and bypassing technical blockades!

The Deconstruction Core System could do this…

Hiss, so impressive.

Noland silently praised the System in his heart, while also becoming more alert.

Undoubtedly, using high-ranking magic with the false identity of a First Rank Wizard was a fatal flaw that could expose his secrets.

Luckily, Noland discovered it early.

“It seems that I will have to avoid others when using high-ranking magic in the future…

“As for this time when I used ‘Death Incarnation,’ how should I explain it to Philia? The energy fluctuations from the recent battle must have been detected by her and the others…”

Noland squinted his eyes and looked towards the Demon Rat Nest.

Without the intervention of the Young Raven, the Demon Rat upheaval gradually subsided and the Aberrations regained their clear consciousness.

Both sides paid a heavy price in the chaotic battle.

Under the leadership of the Human-faced Demon Rat, the Demon Rats retreated from the battlefield first, rushing into the rat holes in the nest.

As the Demon Rats retreated, the corridors of the nest became spacious.

Philia and the others advanced swiftly and soon encountered the Aberrations lingering on the third layer of the nest.

Electric flashes, licking tongues of flame, earth spikes spewing, wind blades swirling, high-intensity elemental energy fluctuations filled the third layer of the nest, mixed with alchemy bombs, energy beams, machine gun bullets, and so on.

After a frenzy of bombing, the Aberrations were crushed by the fierce firepower.

Philia and the others succeeded in reaching Noland’s position above at the cost of some casualties.

When Noland saw them coming, he turned off the “Breath of the Dead” skill.

“Ray! Did you stop the Young Raven?”

Philia jumped down from the ceiling hollow, landing gracefully on the pile of debris covering the floor. Her white fur was not stained by dirty water, still pure and flawless.

Philia glanced at Noland, who had changed from a skeleton to wearing clothes and a face towel, and was not surprised. This kind of Death-type magic that transforms oneself into a skeleton is quite common..
