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 clan 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 that lay ahead.

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

In the last 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 [Enslavement techniques]. Given his lack of high-grade spirit attack spells, Emery decided to focus on learning the tier 7 [Spectral Gaze] first, as it was the most complete of the three.

Utilizing VIA's assistance, Emery meticulously reconstructed the spell. He purchased multiple related tier 6 spirit attack spells and high-grade materials, successfully 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 was comparable 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's combat repertoire, especially by compensating for his lack of robust defensive skills. However, it came with a significant drawback: its effectiveness was directly tied to the number of souls captured.

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 elaborate projects or delve into extensive research, he was left with the last shelved project, one that came from salvaging part of Mo Yan's formidable enslavement techniques.

[Partial Soul Enslavement]

Emery had achieved a breakthrough in comprehending 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 access 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 successfully reconstructed the [Partial Soul Enslavement].

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.
