…

Noland Lee read the deconstruction results and suddenly realized.

So that’s how it is…

The so-called “Resurrection Magic Source” is actually a set of specific features!

It was the combination of the regular feature “Cold Heart” + “Addiction to Sadism” + the extraordinary feature “Metal Reproduction” that granted Plin the stable ability to acquire Resurrection Magic Power!

Thinking about it, only when a person demonstrates a uniqueness can they have the opportunity to stand out from the crowd and become the focus of a Resurrection Witch’s attention.

And extraordinary traits, along with some more influential regular features, are the most likely internal driving forces to show an extraordinary side.

When Noland Lee absorbs Plin’s source, he’s essentially absorbing the latter’s three traits.

As he examined these three traits, he quickly lost his desire to absorb them.

“Addiction to Sadism” needs no explanation – it’s a negative trait that makes a person obsessed with “inflicting pain,” and probably only those born with this inclination would like it.

“Cold Heart” is better, as it can suppress a person’s emotional fluctuations, making their emotions more stable and less susceptible to external factors. However, correspondingly, those with this trait would become somewhat ruthless, bloodthirsty, and lacking in empathy.

“Metal Reproduction” is a Star Stone Level extraordinary trait, originated from Outer Space. People who possess it can strengthen the magic metal in their bodies or create metal materials by absorbing flesh and blood.

Based on this trait and his meditation method, Plin performed inhuman modifications on his companion witches.

Considering that the Demon Brain Race also has a demand for extraordinary traits, Noland Lee suddenly realized that this assassination attempt was a carefully woven triple trap.

Fagen chose the assassination location to be on Sienna’s isle. After the success, the bloody battle that took place on this island would inevitably hinder Sienna’s efforts in managing the isle.

Furthermore, apart from Resurrection Witches and Contractors, very few people know that “Resurrection Magic Source” is related to extraordinary traits. Not to mention that absorption of “Resurrection Magic Source” is equivalent to absorption of extraordinary traits.

Both Resurrection Witch Contractors and the Demon Brain Race have a demand for extraordinary traits.

Putting the two together, wouldn’t that spark a battle?

Imagine, after Noland Lee’s death, how would the Demon Brain Parasite and Plin react to the extraordinary traits on his corpses?

Noland Lee called up the complete memory fragments deconstructed from Plin and read the latter’s memories of discussing plans with Fagan alone.

It turns out that after joining forces with the Demon Brain Parasite to kill him, the Enforcement Wizard, Plin would once again collaborate with the Deep-sea Wizards disguised as subordinates to eliminate the Demon Brain Parasite.

Once the Demon Brain Parasite dies, the new Demon Brain that spawn within the Demon Brain Land will not inherit the memory of the deceased Demon Brain.

Apart from Plin, the subordinate wizards and Fagen, no one would know who killed the Demon Brain Parasite, so Fagen’s side would naturally not be at odds with the Demon Brain Race.

Fagen made this arrangement to eliminate any future troubles and to prevent his weaknesses from falling into the hands of the Demon Brain Race.

As for Plin.

This wizard is a member of the Ulnas Circle and his wizard forces have always had a good relationship with the Pangula family. Fagen trusts him very much.

With the backing of both families as witnesses, Plin would not become a target for Fagen to clean up.

After reading the memories, Noland Lee shook his head.

“You’re really sinister, Dickler Fagen. You actually came up with such a treacherous scheme?”

If this assassination had failed, Fagen would definitely use even more vicious means to deal with Noland Lee next time.

Noland Lee’s brow furrowed, feeling that he needed to prioritize avenging his attempted murder or perhaps take advantage of it…

He increased his flying speed and approached the island, landing while lost in thought.

Under the approaching evening sunlight, Plin’s headless corpse emitted a hazy metallic luster.

Faced with a negative trait, a neutral trait, and an extraordinary trait that either performs miracles when used well or wreaks havoc on others when not, Noland Lee pondered for a moment before reaching a conclusion.

He flew to Plin’s corpse, used Deconstruction to check for abnormalities, and then began to process the battle traces.

First, he collected the soul fragments from Plin’s body and obtained over 300 points of Soul Strength. Then he used “Soul Absorption” to convert the Rebirth Magic Source.

Once this step was completed, his personal panel showed an addition of 6,000 Soul Strength and 6,000 Rebirth Magic Power.
