Chapter 14: Trump Card
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a proverb among the citizens of the Gloria Empire.
‘A starving Earth Horned Rhinoceros is still bigger than the strongest wild horse…’
Even though the Olivendi clan had almost been destroyed, the final heritage that remained was enough to support past Anvis in many things.
It was a spherical crystal about the size of an apple. The two ends were slightly flattened.
It was similar to the shape of the Earth model that Anvis had seen before.
It had a very strange nature. Its appearance was translucent, and its color was constantly changing. Its core was still glowing alternately.
Magic inspection showed that it did not belong to any known substance.
Its name was a single Gomani word: [Yin]
Every thousand years, the crystal ball’s radiance would reach its peak. At that time, it would become an unparalleled medium for making wishes.
There was no need for any ceremony or restrictions to use it. Even if an ordinary person took it and said his wish, it could be fulfilled.
Most importantly, the degree of distortion of the wish was negligible .
For example, if a mage made a wish: to increase his level.
Normal wishing spells had an 80% chance of failure, while the other 20% was to fulfill a wish that was misinterpreted.
The result was usually disastrous. The wishing spell could connect him to a giant energy source, such as the Magic Pool of the Magus Tower.
Then, the outcome of the caster was obvious.
However, if the Wishing Spell was activated through the [Yin], the energy in the crystal ball would allow him to transform in an instant and provide him with all the energy he needed during the process.
Of course, if the wish maker was too greedy and used the wish to raise his cultivation by several realms at once, he would be annihilated by the massive amount of magic power that he could not control. That would have nothing to do with the [Yin].
In the hands of the family, it had been used twice, each time leaving a mark on history.
Its first master was Aldrich, a peak rank 9 Warlock. After obtaining the [Yin], he spent a year studying it and roughly determined the nature of the crystal ball.
It was a convergence of the power of wishes he had never seen before!
Although he could make a wish directly, the best way to make use of the power of the crystal ball was to continue with the formal ritual of wishing.
Therefore, Aldrich set up the highest-level ritual of wishing with the core of Yin.
His wish was simple:
Advance to Legendary…
After the wish was made, the entire ritualistic magic circle emitted a dazzling light as an immense mysterious force wrapped around his body.
The bystanders could clearly feel that the pressure exuding from him, who had been stuck at the peak of the ninth rank for many years, began to rise again, becoming incomparably deep and terrifying.
When this power reached its peak, Aldrich’s body suddenly burst out with endless light, and he instantly turned into a sun!
In the next instant, the light disappeared. The bystanders, the nexus, and [yin] itself remained intact, but Aldrich himself vanished into thin air.
No one could sense where he had gone. There were no spatial fluctuations on the spot, and the Life tracking Crystal Ball that had been left in the clan had also turned into a strange gray color.
The clan members could only vaguely sense that he was still alive through their bloodline connection.
A thousand years after Aldric’s disappearance, the crystal glows again.
This time, the person who used it was the current head of Olivendi, Lois. In terms of seniority, he was Audric’s grandson.
Considering what had once happened to Audric, he did not directly wish to raise his or anyone else’s realm. Instead, he attempted to make a wish to make Audric return.
However, this wish did not take effect. Neither the ritual array nor the crystal ball reacted.
From these results, Lois came to two conclusions:
First: “Yin” is a magical item that can fulfill the wishes of becoming a Legendary.
Second: [Yin] is not omnipotent. At least, letting Aldrich return is beyond its ability.
Coupled with some secret information obtained by his family over the past thousand years, Lois had a vague guess.
He began making a wish again. This time, his wish was:
He wanted to reach the peak of the ninth rank!
The crystal emitted the same light that Aldrich had when he made his wish. The light wrapped around Lois like ribbons.
When his strength reached the peak of the ninth rank, the light dissipated once again.
Lois tried to control his sudden surge of power—the wish came true, and he didn’t disappear.
Half a month later, Lois, who had gained full control of his own power, left behind the rules of use:
1. Do not wish for a much higher rank than your own strength.
2. Do not wish to exceed the Legendary stage.
3. Reference to Polzman’s Code of Wishing
……
In fact, the reason why the family left the [Yin] to past Anvis was because they hoped that when he reached the ninth rank, he could use the [Wishing] to raise his strength to the limit of the ninth rank, thus leading the family to make a comeback.
During the period where he concealed his identity, the radiance of the [Yin] was finally restored.
He had intended to increase his strength as planned, but the news of Fiona’s reappearance had changed his original decision.
Not to mention that it was impossible to reach the ninth rank in a short period of time, even if he became the limit of the ninth rank, it would be useless for the current situation.
The enemy had already proven that one or two peak Ninth rank experts were no match for them.
Rather than using it himself, he might as well use the Yin in a more crucial area.
After weighing the pros and cons, he made a crazy decision: to make a vague wish.
In the Book of Wishes by Polzman Feinierz, a ninth-rank mysterious sorcerer, vague wishes were the first wrong way to make a wish.
More than 90% of the Wishing Spell accidents were caused by the caster’s incomplete description of the wish.
But Polzman also admitted that the more precise a wish was, the more energy it would require, and the higher the chance of failure.
An accurate wish required more energy to maintain this precision.
With every specific restriction added, the consumption of energy would double.
past Anvis had read this book carefully and knew the drawbacks of vague wishes.
But he, who was powerless to change anything, in his desperate desperation, had placed his hopes entirely on the wish spell, on the slim chance of his fate.
His final wish was simple: to restore the Olivendi family’s glory.
By the textbook, it was an incorrect way to make a wish, but it was also the way to maximize the power of the wishing spell.
He succeeded, but the price was everything, including his soul…
The Wishing Spell produced a truly miraculous effect. A soul from a distant alternate world transcended time and space and arrived at the critical moment before the Olivendi family fell. He inherited all the memories of past Anvis in his previous life.
As an important part of this miracle, Anvis, who had been pulled here for no reason, had no choice but to focus fully and carefully think of a way to break out of this situation.
Otherwise, the outcome of past Anvis in his previous life would be the outcome he was destined to face.
