With gestures such as touching her face and lifting the corners of her eyes, it seems as though the girl is indicating a cheerful personality. However, the reality is quite the opposite. On the delicate face of the girl, there is no expression other than "calm," as if that face was sculpted from still water. As a customary gaze-meeting practice, she points her left leg backward, half bends down, and tilts her head to a parallel angle with the ground. After the necessary etiquette, the girl's pupils contract, and she directs her gaze towards Wang and calmly speaks: "I sense the young man's strong obsession, so go ahead and tell me. Thousands of desires and thoughts, I will fulfill them all for you!"
Many people who have heard rumors misunderstand that the girl is related to the demon clan, otherwise how could she appear so mysteriously? In fact, this speculation is completely wrong. The girl's race is undoubtedly "human." Her strength is profound and unfathomable, even Wang during his prime would find it difficult to judge the power concealed within that young and small body.
In the martial arts stories popular in the East Continent, isn't there often a certain type of person? A "hermit on the top of the martial world," who, due to being tired of strife and boredom, develops new hobbies. Among these people, there are those who like to take in disciples and those who give martial arts secrets at the slightest disagreement...
Wang, because he had knowledge of many legendary stories in the East Continent and had a very rich experience, dared to conclude: The girl in front of him is probably that kind of "hermit"! Her hobby is not to dominate various countries, and she seems uninterested in wealth and glory. If everything goes as expected, Wang speculated that what she is most enthusiastic about doing is "the process of equivalent exchange with various people."
"Can the young man tell me his wish?" There was no sense of urgency in her tone, she just hoped that Wang would quickly get into the right state while he quietly speculated about the girl's identity. Stopping his contemplation at this point, Wang temporarily ignored his surprise, and went straight to the point: "Invisible things... can you provide them?" "There are many invisible things, which particular one does the young man refer to?" "Power, a power so strong that it can dominate the West Continent without obstruction!" When the girl heard this, the slightly raised eyebrows immediately lowered, as if she felt relieved, and she replied: "This thing, it's easy to talk about! You don't even need to take anything from me. The great power that can sweep across the West Continent, isn't it already within the young man's body?" "Are you saying..." Like bamboo shoots that just emerged in spring, her short fingers "poked" directly at Wang. It wasn't meant to be disrespectful, she was just reminding him: "The power is within the young man's body. If you want to transfer the power to the girl next to you, I am happy to assist." Wang nodded, giving the girl permission. With a waltz-like step under her feet, she extended her right arm, controlling her right hand to fully open with all five fingers. The chant began, and the summoning spell turned into shining characters, like dancing ribbons, interweaving around the girl's shoulders in a circle. At the moment the chant ended, the intangible illusion of the scale gradually solidified in the eyes of the three people. The girl grabbed the scale as soon as it appeared in her hand. Immediately, black particles appeared on Wang's body, and white particles detached from the girl's body. Then, the two-colored particles gathered on both sides of the scale. After several seconds of materialization, they turned into many small spheres and fell to the two ends of the scale. "Young man, although this is not our first 'equivalent exchange,' in order to prevent you from mistakenly paying the price, I have to explain the rules again."
Wang didn't understand what the girl said, so he assumed she had mistaken him for someone else.
According to the girl's explanation:
The principle of wish fulfillment is the ultimate application of contract magic.
The Libra itself is a magical tool that has the power to make both parties in a trade agree to a contract simultaneously.
The black ball represents the "price to be paid."
If someone has a strong desire in their heart, a black ball will appear near them.
The girl was able to find Wang by tracking the black balls scattered in the air.
The white ball represents the "value of the wish," and it is a combination of the three powers of gods and demons.
When a trade is needed, the girl will initiate an incantation and create varying amounts of white balls.
The size and quantity of the white balls are determined solely by the girl, which corresponds to the last rule of the "Ten Principles of Trade."
When the two colored balls reach a balance, it can be considered that the two (price and value) are roughly equal, and the trade can proceed.
If anyone violates the trade, they will suffer the backlash of contract magic, or the girl will personally punish those who break the rules.
After listening to the basic rules, Wang looked up at the Libra in front of him and found that there was no significant fluctuation after the convergence of the two colored spheres.
This balance is normal because the power to be given is extracted from Wang's body.
In the first round of the trade, the girl does not need to give anything, just help with a small favor that is easy for her.
In the moment the Libra tilted towards balance, numerous black balls immediately floated up and multiplied in size like eggs.
Only one black ball remained and it pierce through Wang's soul, ignoring his physical body and entering his body directly.
Before Wang could blink, he felt a tremendous pain in his body.
The veins in his body seemed to twist into ropes, affecting the flow of his blood, causing not only pain but also the feeling of his bones being stripped away.
In the next moment, he felt the majestic holy power inside his body rise and leave his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the holy power flowed into the air, it stirred up circles of dust on the ground and then, guided by the Libra, rushed towards the direction of the girl.
Boom!
Suddenly, as Cai looked up and raised her head, she was fixed in place by that power.
During the time Cai couldn't move, the holy power flowed down from above her head, and for a moment, her body was covered by pure halo.
Hundreds of battles > Thousands of Slaughter > Battlefield Harvester > Army Breaker. The fluctuations in Cai's aura kept increasing.
In just a few moments, she surpassed the pinnacle of countless people's lives and gained the power to shake the entire Western Continent. She had reached the level called "Country Toppling," the same level as Wang.
Cai absorbed an enormous amount of power, which exceeded the girl's expectations.
Perhaps even the person who gave her this power did not expect her to have such a strong compatibility with it.
At the same time, the peculiar light in Wang's pupils disappeared, indicating that he had lost the forbidden curse.
The hypnosis forbidden curse that controlled other people's consciousness had now become Cai's hidden killing move.
Cai might not have realized the existence of the forbidden curse yet, but Wang believed that she would soon be able to master this power proficiently.
However, even after transferring the power, Wang still felt a strong sense of regret.
Because his greatest wish was for Cai to not suffer, otherwise he would not have used the forbidden spell to erase her memories.
However, things did not go as planned, and Cai eventually appeared on the battlefield and could not avoid this parting moment.
Saying goodbye face-to-face was inevitable.
Thinking that at least as compensation, he should give her some valuable farewell gifts, and the power was just one of them.
If Wang still had a bit of strength left, he would definitely restore Cai's altered memories before giving her the power.
But he couldn't do it. From just now until now, there was no possibility of restoring Cai's original memories.
After all, her life, like a candle in the wind, was about to burn out...
Before his body completely gave out, Wang still had to complete one more important task.
His longing gaze fixed on the girl, who sensed the atmosphere and took the initiative to start a conversation:
"The girl already has the power. Boy, tell me your other wishes!"
"May I ask who you really are? What have you been saying since earlier?"
Based on Cai's personality, she was not very willing to get involved in other people's conversations.
But ever since the girl appeared, her growing sense of unease could not be suppressed, and at the moment when she obtained the power, her words carried a hint of impatience.
Wang had intended to comfort her, but he pondered for a long time and didn't know how to speak.
In the next moment, the girl approached several steps with a scale in her hand, and when her gaze traveled from bottom to top, she lightly opened her lips:
"The boy didn't have time to tell you? Alright, let me tell you the truth."
"You!"
Wang's eyes widened. Hearing that single word from the girl, her expression and posture unchanged, she confidently continued to speak:
"Someday the girl will learn the truth, and hiding it won't do any good. It's better to say it sooner so that she can be mentally prepared."
With logical words, Wang didn't know how to counter them.
But don't misunderstand, he was not such a procrastinating person.
When those opposing words couldn't come out of his mouth, his brain controlled his words and sent a message to his deep consciousness.
In a few more seconds, the girl would explain the truth on his behalf.
But before that, with a louder voice, Wang successfully attracted Cai's attention.
Some things are better said with one's own mouth:
"Silly woman, I have to part ways with you."
The truth wasn't that direct.
At least initially, Cai didn't grasp the deeper meaning and just subconsciously asked:
"Are you going somewhere else? Will everyone else go too, including big sister and me?"
Facing her bright smile, that head that had just lifted up reluctantly lowered in melancholy, and the voice that came out became weak:
"No, I won't bring anyone. Only I will go to that place!"
"You will make everyone worry, especially big sister, she..."
"Silly woman, you don't understand! Only the dead can go to the place I'm talking about."
Finally, he blurted it out.
Since not long ago, Wang had only spoken seven or eight sentences in total;
Among them were dozens of words, but only one "death" word made Cai freeze in place.
For no reason at all, Cai suddenly felt a ringing in her ears, and her line of sight ahead was filled with overlapping afterimages.
"Death... death... death..."
"The young boy's body was covered in dozens of large and small wounds, two or three of them being fatal! It's already quite impressive that he can still remain conscious. "
The reason why the girl chose to reveal the truth further when Cai was stunned was not because she had a cold personality.
The girl just wanted to save time, so that Wang wouldn't have to struggle so hard.
