Constructing-Style Wizard Chapter 74 – Chapter 74: 60. Harmless Deconstruction

Chapter 74: 60. Harmless Deconstruction

Translator: 549690339

Noland Lee was completely unaware of the guard's emotional outbursts.

His mind was only focused on looking at the deconstruction results just now.

The first deconstruction result:

“Usage Instructions of Bone-Connecting Wand”.

This item teaches how to use that wand, and “Bone-Connecting Wand” is the name of that wand.

The awkward thing was… the completion of this instruction manual's deconstruction was only 5%.

Noland Lee only got a small part of the content of this book, which is the “Table of Contents” in the first few dozen pages of this book.

Apart from knowing that this wand can be used for summoning rituals and enhancing magic spells, he knew nothing else. Noland Lee threw the “instructions” aside.

The second deconstruction result:

“Spell Blueprint: Fear Charm”, completion 50%.

Noland Lee read the instructions on the blueprint carefully and nodded in satisfaction.

The blueprint introduced as follows:

[Name] Fear Charm [Type] Death-type Magic Spell

[Consumption]

0.1 point of Soul Strength and 1 point of Energy.

[Effect]

Aim at the target, draw the spell blueprint, cast the spell, and transmit the will of fear to the target.

The target will develop a great fear of you and desire to escape from you.

The fear effect lasts up to 5 seconds, subject to reduction based on the target's spell resistance.

During the duration of the fear effect, the target will move rapidly away from you.

If the target is attacked while under the fear effect, it may break free from the fear state prematurely.

[Flaw]

The duration of the fear effect has been reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.

Noland Lee was very familiar with this spell, very, very familiar.

Before crossing over, his main profession was warlock in Mount Kigate, and the “Fear Charm” was the main crowd control method for the warlock profession.

With proper use, it can completely make the enemy rush into monster pile and get killed. It is very suitable for sneak attacks on the enemy or using the enemy's enemies to kill the enemy.

Noland Lee selected the blueprint, directly consumed 1 point of energy, and learned it.

The third deconstruction result:

“Martyr's Ten CommandmentsGeneral Outline” original manuscript, with a completion degree of 100%.

Noland Lee casually cast the deconstruction spell on the “General Outline” to see how much energy it would take to store all this stuff in his brain.

The system feedback message left him stunned.

Original text.

Original manuscript.

One is “text”, the other is “manuscript”.

One word difference, worlds apart.

The content of the original text is the same as the original manuscript, but the author of the original text may not be the author of the original manuscript, typically a copyist who transcribed the original manuscript.

The word “manuscript” means that the document was written by the original author himself.

Every stroke, every line, is imbued with the author's will.

In the world before crossing, the original manuscripts of rare scriptures are worth a fortune.

In the world after crossing, the original manuscripts written by extraordinary people will be endowed with extraordinary power by the author and have an ineffable influence on the reader's mind and soul.

The “Martyrdom Ten Commandments•General Outline” deconstructed from the bone-mending wand is the “original manuscript” rather than the “original text”.

Every undead rune on it is filled with the power of the writer.

The breath of death will enter the reader's mind during the reading process, defiling their mind, tainting their faith, and twisting their cognition.

After reading this original manuscript, it is equivalent to undergoing a metamorphic transformation from an ordinary person to a desperate worshiper of death.

Who can resist this mental pollution?

Compared with the benefits brought by the original manuscript, what does this pollution count for?

“The harvest this time is even greater than I imagined. I didn't expect that the original manuscript of 'Martyrdom Ten CommandmentsGeneral Outline' which I deconstructed would have such great power…”

Noland Lee held his pounding heart and tried to calm the tumultuous feelings in his heart.

Looking at the system message again, the trembling of his heart and mind couldn't help but come again.

Since crossing, there have been two most important things for him.

One is Soul Strength, which directly limits his casting frequency.

Faced with the effect of the “Soul Interrogation Potion”, he used “Soul Shield” twice in succession and perfectly covered the I-minute duration of the potion.

o

Now, he has 1.3 points of Soul Strength left in his hands.

The second most important thing is his “Spirit” attribute. This attribute determines the automatic recovery rate of his energy points.

Now, the methods for increasing both attributes have emerged, in this original manuscript of “Martyrdom Ten Commandments•General Outline”!

[System Message: You are about to launch “Deconstruction” on the “Martyrdom Ten CommandmentsGeneral Outline” original manuscript.]

[It is predicted that it will consume 1000 energy points to achieve 100% completion of the deconstruction.]

[Warning!]

[The system has detected that there is extraordinary power left by the author in this original manuscript. During the process of deconstruction, you will be forcibly infused with the following contents:] [1. A strong desire to join the Undead Cult.]

Absolute loyalty to the Death Herald Guild.]

The requirements for mysterious school symbols, designations, and prayer rituals aimed at the author.]

The death magic school “Martyr's Cultivation: Fundamental Practices”.]

“Martyr's Cultivation: Fundamental Practices”!

Death Magic School!

Although it's just the basic part, it should record the methods for improving the “Spirit” attribute, right?

Noland Lee only wanted the “Martyr's Cultivation: Fundamental Practices”, and was not interested in any other content-

For example, “Joining the Undead Cult,” “Loyalty to the Death Herald Guild,” and “Author's Mysterious Symbols” can all go away and not bother him. Is there any way to avoid these unfavorable deconstruction results?

Noland Lee couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, the system message didn't just end there; new message content appeared before his eyes.

[It has been detected that deconstructing the “Martyrdom Ten Commandments General Outline” will have a negative impact on you. The Deconstruction has been updated, with an added active deconstruction method:]

[Harmless Deconstruction.]

[When you deconstruct a target that can bring both positive and negative effects, you can consume extra energy points to cast “Harmless

Deconstruction” to obtain the positive effects separately and avoid the negative effects.]

“Yeah! Nice! Just take the essence and get rid of the dross. How can I not love such a system!”

Noland Lee praised the system silently in his heart.

He aimed at “Martyr's Ten Commandments – Summary” in his mind and muttered “Harmless Deconstruction.”

[System Message: You're about to initiate Harmless Deconstruction on the

“Martyr's Ten Commandments – Summary”.]

[Predicted consumption of 10,000 Energy Points, enhancing the degree of deconstruction to 100%.]

[You'll get the complete contents of “Martyr's Cultivation: Fundamental

Practices”, while avoiding all negative effects brought by “Martyr's Ten

Commandments – Summary”.]

[Your current Energy Points are 99. Do you want to proceed with deconstruction?]

The cost of Harmless Deconstruction is ten times that of a regular deconstruction, from 1,000 to 10,000 points.

With such a substantial cost, Noland only felt that his brows tightened.

“…It's okay, it's okay… As long as I'm still alive, it's just a matter of time before I completely master the entire contents of the Fundamental Practices.”

Noland held his chest, comforting himself a few times as his thoughts surged in his mind.

From the cost of ordinary deconstruction and harmless deconstruction, he could see some clues.

In this world, if ordinary people want to gain extraordinary power, they need to pay a significant price.

For example, Imperial Fist.

To master the controllable mutation ability, one must serve the army for nine years.

Only by going through this baptism of war can one become an Imperial Fist.

This is considered a relatively friendly situation.

For example, if an ordinary person wants to master death-type magic, they not only need to give up their youth but also put their lives in the hands of the Death Herald Guild.

Everyone yearns for extraordinary power, but very few people question the price they need to pay before they acquire it:

“What is the price?”

The answer is cruel and real:

The price is life and soul.

Noland now felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, he had the Deconstruction Core System in his hands.

He could freely master the power of the extraordinary without selling his soul and body.O

Otherwise. he would certainlv fall into the Dit of twisted mentalities and filthv spirits.

From this point of view, spending 10,000 Energy Points to master the “Fundamental Practices” without side effects is absolutely worth it.

Noland steadied his heart, suppressed the random thoughts for the time being, and thought silently:

“Consume 85 Energy Points, keep 14 points, and Harmlessly Deconstruct the “Martyr's Ten Commandments !

Noland felt a little dizzy for a moment.

Energy Points dropped below 15 points, down to the lower limit of 14/15 points, and began to recover automatically.

Noland recovered from his momentary dizziness, pressed his rapidly pounding chest, and held his breath unconsciously, looking at the results of the deconstruction.

His ice-blue pupils gradually enlarged.

[Deconstruction successful!]

[The harmless deconstruction of “Martyr's Ten Commandments” is increased from 0% to 0.85%.]

[You've obtained an incomplete “Spell Blueprint: Soul Absorption” with 20% completion.]

[Spell Introduction is as follows:] [Name] Soul Absorption [Type] Death-type Spell [Level] Not applicable

[Effect]

Approach a corpse that has died within half an hour and absorb soul fragments from it to increase your Soul Strength.

If the target doesn't have any soul fragments, the spell will not take effect.

[Explanation]

You used harmless deconstruction to obtain this spell.

The system has stripped away all factors that could cause negative effects for you, such as spell chanting, spell gestures, and casting materials.

Therefore, this spell has a fixed 20% completion and cannot be repaired.

Its effectiveness is only about one-fifth of its normal state.

However, correspondingly, when you cast this spell, you will not need to consume energy points, have no casting preparation, nor have any light or shadow effects. Nothing can detect you using this spell.

“Soul Absorption… It only has a 20% completion rate, and it can't be upgraded or improved. It's very nice that it won't be detected by others. But exactly how many soul fragments could this spell collect? 0.5 points of Soul Strength? Or even less than that?”

Noland smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling secretly delighted, and murmured in his mind.

He thought he would deconstruct something like a meditation method.

Unexpectedly, the first thing he got was a spell to enhance Soul Strength.

It's good, it's better than deconstructing something useless.

Just for this, the system deserves praise.

Noland raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, then picked up the ammunition box and rushed toward the front line.

He had already thought about it.

Later, if casualties occurred at the front line, he would approach the corpses under the guise of helping transport the dead and see how much Soul Strength a soldier could contribute to him.

No matter how much, he would definitely stick to the bottom line.

He would never cause deliberate harm by extinguishing his humanity, just for the Soul Strength brought by the death of soldiers.

He's not that kind of person.

Neither in the past, at present, nor in the future.

His wish and starting point remain the same: good people will eventually have a good end, and evil ones will face justice. “Huh? Right. Do the undead killed by soldiers have soul fragments?”

Noland smacked his head, somewhat puzzled.

He ran to the barrier of a combat squad, put down the ammunition box in his hand.

His eyes swept around, locking onto the Walking Dead that had just been torn apart by a bullet.

As Noland passed corpse of the Walking Dead, he muttered in his heart.

“Soul Absorption.”

[System Message: “Soul Absorption” failed!]

[Reason: The casting target is protected by Spirit Pivot. You cannot collect Soul Fragments from this type of target.] Ah, this… Noland's mouth twitched.

Stinky Spirit Pivot, one day I'll overturn you.

But on second thought, it makes sense.

The source of the Undead Army is the soul.

If the “Soul Absorption” spell with only 20% completion can ignore the protection provided by Spirit Pivot and forcibly take away the souls of the Undead Army, it would be too exaggerated.

Noland shook his head slightly, not feeling angry with the failure of the skill.

He'll try again later with a deceased soldier.

Imperial Soldiers can't possibly be protected by Spirit Pivot, right?
