Blood Assimilation

211 Risky Endeavor

With his palm over the inscribed magical runic circle, he poured a bit of his mana into the center of the magical runic circle, causing an immediate reaction in his blood in the middle of the center slot.

He then began to chant the incantation of the spell three seconds later.

The incantation words sounded very incoherent and yet also mystifying at the same time.

There was a sense of vicissitudes around his body as he recited the incantation words in a calm and enthusiastic demeanor.

At this time, it felt like his entire body was resonating with the world as invisible ripples manifested around him.

Soon enough, some changes had started to occur within the magical runic circle.

At first, when Randy poured in his mana, nothing happened as his mana only seemed to be contained within his blood, which was in the center of the magical runic circle.

However, the moment he started chanting the incantation, his mana-infused blood began resonating with the pathways that led to the five elements- Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Wood.

His mana-infused blood resonated and connected to the five elements using the pathways in the magical runic circle.

.....

At that exact moment, an unprecedented change unwitnessed before occurred.

At some unknown point during the incantation, something ethereal had descended upon the safe room. When it did, Randy felt a chill down his spine as he started to feel a suffocating pressure above him, with a strange feeling welling up within his chest, almost like an unseen and insurmountable weight was on top of his body.

This unknown and ethereal pressure made him feel highly vigilant because it felt as if his entire body and soul were under a constant and deadly threat.

He felt like he was now standing on the very edge of a sharp blade, and any careless movement from him would lead to his body being ripped into two perfect halves.

Randy had never felt such a thing before, and as such, it made him very alert and uncomfortable; He was also unable to breathe.

This unknown pressure even rendered his control over his body useless. Thus, he was also unable to move his body temporarily.

‘This feeling... What’s going on?’

Randy scowled as he wondered to himself in confusion.

At this moment, he had started to lose his passion for the incantation. But at the last moment, he forcefully continued with the incantation words while ignoring the unearthly pressure on his body.

One of the reasons why Randy did not stop chanting the incantation words was that he was afraid and feeling regretful that he would waste this great opportunity and the resources used in the spell technique.

Furthermore, the arch sorcerer had vaguely mentioned something about his current situation in the spell technique’s introduction, so he was relatively calm about the current situation after recognizing what was going on.

Just as he had calmed down, lines of text began to appear on the golden screen in his field of vision.

[[Due to your unconventional spell casting, which involved the five elemental laws of this world, you have attracted the awareness and scrutiny of the various laws that embody and govern this entire world]]

[[Attention, your spell technique has caused the various laws, specifically, the laws governing the five main elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Nature, to descend and monitor your actions. If your current actions were deemed as unfit or in violation of this world’s foundational laws, you would instantly be ejected from this world as a form of rejection of your very existence]]

[[Special note: You have two options:]]

[[1. You can choose to stop your current actions. If you choose this option, it will not only end up in the failure of your spell technique but also prevent the possibility of being rejected by this world’s laws. However, you risk the chance of your internal energies spiraling out of control if you stop your incantation at this critical juncture of your spell incantation]]

[[2. You can ignore everything by continuing with your current actions and try completing your spell technique. If you choose this option, the system will protect your body in the case that you’re rejected from this world, so you don’t need to worry]]

‘So this was the possible failure? Not to mention that my energy will go out of control if I choose to stop right now?’

‘Forget about being ejected or expelled from the world. I might die from the energy in my body going out of control.’

‘Definitely not letting this happen!’

Quickly reading through the lines of text, Randy decided to risk it, as he was not about to let his precious blood go to waste just because of a possible threat.

Furthermore, with the guarantee from the system, he did not need to worry about his life.

Even if he ultimately ended up being expelled from his current world, he would survive using the protection from his system.

Although it would be a pity to leave his current world as that would go against his plans, it was still better than letting go of this opportunity, especially after he had come this far.

Not to mention that according to the system, it was not a guarantee that he would be expelled out of his current world since it was only a possibility.

Moreover, if what he learned from the arch sorcerer’s notes were true, nothing should go wrong with the spell technique. Not to mention being kicked out, according to the arch sorcerer, as long as the spell technique was executed by following the stated procedure, he would not incur the wrath of the world’s laws.

After all, the essence of the spell technique itself conformed to the laws of all worlds.

Furthermore, the intricate runes within the magical runic circle were necessary to make that fact recognized by the world. As such, nothing detrimental should happen, at least.

But even so, he was still slightly worried due to his current world being a different world from the arch sorcerer’s world. As such is the case, there might be a slight deviation in the laws governing the current world.

However, that should not affect the general spell technique too much. That was why Randy was willing to risk it this time.

After all, the worst that could happen was getting ejected from his current world and not his ultimate death. And with the protection of his system, he would be able to survive such a predicament.

Thus, with a firm determination, Randy continued the invocation of the spell technique as various mystical runes emitting varying glows of color shined within the safe room.

After a while, Randy proceeded to the fifth and final step in the spell technique. This step required him to transfer his soul origin power into the brightly lit magical runic circle.

At this point, he recalled the system’s explanation at the time.

...

[[The divine point is the origin power of the souls of all living beings that existed within the universe. In other words, the soul power of any living being in a quantified form, which is universally known as ‘divine points’. Whenever living beings die, their soul power, in other words, their divine points would dissipate and become part of their world’s laws]]

[[As for the uses of the divine points, there are many. For example, the host could use the divine points to replace knowledge points to comprehend skills and techniques or use them as an energy source to conduct any skill and technique or disregard the constraints of different energy sources like magical energy, spiritual energy, and life energy]]

[[However, using divine points is akin to using one’s soul power and thus could lead to a decrease in the user’s life expectancy if the user depletes all of their soul power. Furthermore, without a technique or means to cultivate one’s soul, the recovery of your expended soul power or divine points would take a considerably long time]]

[[Moreover, the capacity of one’s soul was closely related to how strong one was, and therefore, if one had less soul power or divine points, they would instantly die from overusing it. Thus, it is recommended not to use one’s soul power unless they had a method to recover them]]

...

At the time, those were the response from the system when he first asked about the divine points function of his system.

From that response, Randy could infer that this origin essence power stated by the arch sorcerer in the texts about the spell technique was essentially referring to divine points.

After realizing this fact, Randy was slightly shocked that the arch sorcerer knew about divine points or how to harness them. However, he did not think much about that, as he only needed to confirm whether he could successfully cast his spell at the time.

And now was the time to finalize the spell technique.

The pressure on his body was increasing with every passing moment, but he ignored that and focused on his system’s display.

[[Detected you have completed the first four steps in your spell technique]]

[[Would you like to spend 3,200 divine points?]]

‘That’s right, I don’t have to spend my soul power for this spell technique since the system had already stored some divine points for me, but...”

Randy surmised his current understanding.

However, the only thing he was worried about was if the divine points from his system would count as his origin essence power during the spell technique’s execution.

What if the divine points from the system were determined as not his own since they were extracted from others?

Divine points were the origin power of the soul. In other words, it was the soul power of a living being.

But from what he learned, using his soul power could be detrimental.

Therefore, it was only appropriate for him to use the system’s divine points instead of his soul power. This method would also prevent any repercussions that spending his soul power might bring.

But in doing so, based on his deductions, there was a slight chance that the spell technique might have some faults during its execution.
