The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 134 - 88: Soul-Capturing Duel

In the cave where the Magic Node is located.

Kana was inside carving an array, which wasn’t difficult for him, at least not this particular one.

Every time he needed to use the profession skill to capture the soul of a powerful being, an array was required to form the foundation of the ritual.

It’s not very complex, but it’s the basis of everything.

Kana had carved it many times in the game before, and was already so familiar with it that he could draw it with his eyes closed.

The profession of the [Soul Catcher] has a high correlation with the direction of Alchemy.

It requires many alchemy tools, as "tools" are consumables and also part of one’s personal strength.

Of course, many essential tools are needed as well.

For instance, sometimes time doesn’t wait, and there’s no time to carve an array. At this time, a "portable formation expansion kit" is needed.

As the last stroke was completed, the foundation of the array inevitably caused a disturbance to this Magic Node.

Sitting outside in the camp, resting and waiting for other ogres to return from hunting, the Two-headed Cannibal Mage immediately felt the magic disturbance.

This was the essence of its Magic Power, its source of magical sustenance.

It was like an ordinary ogre’s meal bowl being smashed.

The laziness that was originally hanging on him instantly disappeared as he quickly scrambled to his feet.

Holding the Magic Staff, he turned to look at his cave behind him.

"Hmm?" He tapped his forehead in confusion.

"What’s wrong?"

"The magic has been disturbed."

"Oh." One of the heads wasn’t concerned.

The two ogre heads each had their own consciousness, and both had control over the body.

The more intelligent head thought for a moment and decided to go in.

However, he found that half of his body was out of control: "Damn, the magic’s been disrupted, we should go in and check."

"Too troublesome." The less intelligent head wasn’t inclined to move.

The hunger in his stomach provoked the body into laziness.

"Move, you food-scarfing fool." The intelligent head cursed, grabbing his staff and hitting his other head.

The struck head held its head and reluctantly conceded control of the body to the other head.

This is how a two-headed ogre functions; one head always has to take charge.

Otherwise, the body cannot move, and from the moment they were born, a struggle for control begins.

Only a two-headed ogre that successfully seizes control can survive.

Most often, one head is smart, and the other head is dumb. The smart head usually takes the lead and will accommodate the dumb one on trivial matters.

At least, most of the time, it is like that.

But if both heads are smart or both heads are dumb, it is difficult for that two-headed ogre to reach adulthood.

However, exceptions do exist, and if there is an exception, that two-headed ogre is bound to become renowned.

Seeing his foolish brother compromise, the intelligent head, holding the Giant Wooden Scepter, darted into the cave.

The cave on the hillside had been dug deeply, as it needed to allow ogres to come in and out, so it was excavated quite tall.

Although, for ogres, it was barely adequate.

When he followed the magic disturbance to the Magic Node, it was in a hall within the cave.

It was even possible to see a "bed" made of straw, tattered cloth, leaves, and branches in the cave.

Some seemingly decent biological skulls, as well as polished bone products.

These were the works of this Two-headed Cannibal Mage; compared to his peers, he was much more civilized.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Kana sitting beside the Magic Node.

Seeing the approaching Two-headed Cannibal Mage, Kana smiled and waved.

"Hehehe, a tiny shrimp, a yummy tiny shrimp!" The foolish head uttered in a simple-minded voice.

"Shut up! You fool!" The intelligent head roared angrily.

Given the current situation, it was apparent that the human in front of them was not easy to handle.

Perhaps truly sensing his brother’s anger, the foolish head shut his mouth.

Kana immediately knew which head was in charge.

The intelligent head looked at Kana, "Human shrimp, get out, leave my cave. If you don’t want to end up in my stomach, that is."

He didn’t rush over aggressively like other ogres to shout and kill, instead, he attempted to use words to make Kana leave.

Clearly, he cared about the cave and its items very much.

But Kana had no regard for such things; he drew the blade against the back of his hand.

Blood dripped immediately.

"With this I invoke honor, forming a circle with my blood; within the circle, souls are bound, and resolved by life and death."

"By honor’s claim, the victor’s soul is seized, the defeated soul languishes."

The brief activation incantation, combined with the blood, immediately triggered the array Kana had built earlier.

The ritual began.

It immediately influenced the magic of the Magic Node, forming a ring with the blood in an instant.

Directly enclosing the entire cave hall, the surrounding magic formed a flow of magic energy.

Approaching the edge would result in being counterattacked.

This place formed a temporary "Death Arena" constructed by the ritual.

The ritual, along with the incantation, allowed the smart ogre head to understand something.

"You want to duel me? And at the cost of souls... Damn shrimp, I will swallow you whole, along with your soul!"

The intelligent head roared in fury, though he was clever, he was still an ogre. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
