Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 394 Soul Extraction

"What is 'grey'? What made Byron voluntarily leave that word on his pen?"

Thor sank rapidly as he pondered blankly.

After returning to his dormitory, he immediately picked up his compressed bag and went out.

"Gray... Byron and I have been working together on gray matter recently. Could it be that he discovered something unusual in gray matter? But even that shouldn't attract a powerful enemy's sneak attack. Unless he told the person who harmed him about his research on gray matter, and gray matter plays some important role."

Thor walked quickly to the slope and then went up the bend.

Two first-class apprentices were coming down together. When they saw Thor, they made way for him, but remained silent.

Since leaving the dormitory, Thor has been squinting, looking as if he hasn't woken up and is listless.

As he passed by two junior students, his pupils only moved slightly before quickly returning to their normal positions, as if he looked down on them.

Seeing that he completely ignored them and left quickly, the two first-level apprentices breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace to the next level.

But they were unaware that Thor had been carefully observing their mental fluctuations through semi-immersive meditation.

"The mental fluctuations are very high, but not much magic is dissipating. They're nervous; are they using low-level apprentices to monitor me?"

When Saul arrived at Byron's dormitory floor, he immediately looked at the nearby dormitories.

Just as he stepped into the corridor, Byron’s neighbor to his left opened his door and came out.

He was taken aback when he saw Saul, but still nodded and greeted him.

Although he was also a Level 3 Apprentice, he was one of those who advanced by borrowing someone else's positioning formula. His talent and strength were average; he was only fit to be an assistant to his mentor or other powerful Level 3 Apprentices.

Thor squinted and looked over, finding that the other party's mental energy was well contained.

But it's okay.

Why did you have to come out of the room just as I arrived?

Everywhere I went, someone happened to be passing by.

These coincidences are just too coincidental, aren't they?

Thor stepped to the side, blocking his way out.

"Does the senior live next door to Byron?"

"Uh, yes." The other person panicked for a moment.

"I need to talk to Senior Byron."

"Um, it seems he went out. I saw him leave with his luggage today."

Thor smiled. "I know. But I want to see Byron as soon as he gets back..."

"Then, if I see him come back, I'll let you know?"

"No need to trouble yourself." Thor held up his compressed bag and waved it. "I'll just move into your room."

The third-level apprentice opposite was immediately stunned.

But Thor didn't give him a chance to refute.

He grabbed the other person's sleeve and pressed his hand onto the doorknob.

"Open the door."

The third-level apprentice was completely stunned by Thor's actions.

"But, but..."

"You can find any new room to stay in, and you can collect the necessary supplies from the registration office and put it on my account."

"But I don't intend to move—" The third-level apprentice wanted to refuse, but when he saw Thor's eyes, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.

To his astonishment, Thor in front of him had changed.

The other person's height increased, their forehead widened, and their skin changed from grayish-white to waxy yellow.

All the new features are so familiar...

The other person was actually turning into his own appearance right before his eyes, bit by bit...!

"Go to the registration office now and find a new room. Or, I'll do something else, take your place and move in." Thor's voice gradually lowered until it became the voice of the third-level apprentice himself.

The third-level apprentice's legs suddenly went weak, and if Thor hadn't been holding his arm, he probably would have collapsed to the ground by now.

His gaze was completely fixed on the face opposite him, but under Saul's pressure, he could only stiffly and forcefully open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Thor released the third-level apprentice's arm and walked straight into the other's dormitory.

The third-level apprentice could only watch helplessly as Thor went in and immediately changed the room's permissions.

"Bang!"

The gate closed in front of him, and the third-level apprentice silently turned around and walked towards the East Tower as if sleepwalking.

"I... I need to change dorm rooms. Yes, if there are any fees, you can put it on Saul's tab."

He repeated the sentence to himself over and over again, and walked forward in a daze.

Thor didn't care whether the people outside went to the registration office to change dorms first or went to report his recent experience to Luo Kai.

As soon as Thor entered his new dormitory, he immediately looked around.

"There's nothing valuable in it. It seems that the apprentice spends most of his time in the lab."

A silver butterfly fluttered out of Thor's eyes and landed on his right shoulder.

"Brother Thor, why didn't you let me erase his memory just now?"

Just before entering, Thor granted Penny permissions, allowing her to cooperate in blurring the other person's consciousness.

If he still refuses to compromise in the end, Thor wouldn't mind simply changing his identity.

"There's no need," Thor said to Penny as he took out various magical materials and tools from his compressed bag. "No matter how discreetly I entered this dormitory, Rokai, who's been watching me closely, will definitely find out."

"Now that I've seen them leave with Byron, it's impossible for Luo Kai to let his guard down around me. Rather than acting covertly and making them more wary, it's better to be direct, which will put them at ease a little."

After saying that, Saul picked out a few materials that he could use at the moment and poured them onto the long table in the room.

The long table for this third-level apprentice was clean, though.

Saul quickly processed the materials, then picked up a hanging brush from the table.

He opened his left hand, palm facing up.

The skin on my palm split open automatically, creating a wound that was three centimeters long and one centimeter deep.

Bright red blood gushed from the wound. But the blood stopped flowing only when it filled the hollow of the palm.

He then went to the equally clean and tidy front hall, and with a brush dipped in his own blood, began to draw a witchcraft circle on the ground.

A silver butterfly took flight, asking incredulously, "Brother Thor, what are you doing?"

"Draw a soul extraction array. This room is closest to Senior Byron's room, so it can cover his dormitory."

Thor has drawn this magic circle several times and knows it very well.

This time, however, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to slowly prepare the materials for drawing the magic circle.

However, his blood can also store special magic power after the second transformation of his body, which can be used for emergencies now.

He quickly drew the soul extraction array, then placed the corresponding magical materials at the corresponding nodes, and finally placed enough magic crystals at the energy supply points.

After putting down the remaining materials, Thor shook his hands to help his wounds heal, then stood in the center of the magic circle.

"Senior Byron, since you managed to endure over a decade alone in the morgue, and even dared to merge an evil spirit into your body to strengthen your soul in order to become a full-fledged wizard, you shouldn't have died like this. Even if only your soul remains, it doesn't matter... Let me condense the fifth black page, and together we'll take our revenge!"

Thor closed his eyes, and his spiritual body began to vibrate as a large amount of magic power surged into the magic circle.

The crimson magic circle instantly erupted with pale flames. These flames, like flowing liquid, spread throughout the entire magic circle. The tongues of fire stretched out in all directions, lightly scorching the surrounding objects, but did not ignite anything.

Some scattered fragments fell into the magic circle, but none of them were Byron's soul.

As time went by, the magic power supporting the magic circle gradually ran out, and the flames inevitably began to shrink.

Thor's expression changed from serious to incredulous.

"No spirits?"

Why is it so clean?

"Did the person who did this even spare the soul? There should be soul fragments left!"

As Thor waited anxiously and unwillingly, the white flame gradually dwindled until it went out.

But no black page was generated in front of him.

Thor's hands slowly fell to his sides.

"Brother Thor..." Penny hovered in front of Thor, her voice becoming cautious, "How about I try to enter that Rokai's dream and see what they've done?"

"No need!" Thor suddenly opened his eyes. "He must have a formal wizard watching over him at all times. With your current strength, you could easily get yourself into trouble."

Penny noticed that the dejection on Thor's face suddenly vanished, and a glimmer even appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Thor, are you alright?" Penny's voice became even more cautious, fearing that Thor was so angry that he was about to unleash his full power!

Thor's lips gradually curled up in a smile.

"It's too clean."

"What?" Penny asked, puzzled.

"I mean, Byron's room... is so clean!"

The next chapter will be tonight.
