As he read, his head nodded up and down as if in understanding, and his eyes gradually deepened.bender
The Soul Retreat Crystal, a death-type magic artifact, serves to protect the soul detached from the physical body and assist the soul in retreating quickly.
It is a one-time escape device.
It can swiftly leave the battlefield with the users soul, after the users physical body is destroyed.
It has three drawbacks:
Firstly, the escape speed becomes slow after being initially fast.
When leaving the physical body, the crystals escape speed is rapid, but this speed can only be maintained for a few seconds.
In the following time, the soul inside it must continuously provide Soul Strength to keep the crystals escape speed above 10 meters per second.
If the Soul Strength is not sufficient, the crystals escape speed will plummet. It will easily be locked in by the enemy.
The second drawback is that this crystal is very fragile, basically shattering upon contactthis is why it is shattered by the Cavern Stalkers.
The third drawback:
This thing can only provide the most basic protection; it cannot envelop the soul as completely as the physical body does.
Anyone can directly see the soul inside it.
The crystal cannot block the prying of others on the soul like the physical body does.
Overall, this is an escape device that is only used when there is no other choice, rather than a vehicle that allows the soul to travel freely in the material world. The deconstruction result lists the materials and methods to make this artifact.
Complex and expensive.
Noland Lee couldnt afford to tinker with it for the time being.
What intrigued him, though, was one detail.
Clearly, the Soul Retreat Crystal is meant to be used in conjunction with other magical devices.
For example, a receiver for it to better protect the crystal and the soul within.
Or perhaps, arranging a new body in advance for the soul inside the crystal to be protected by a physical body as soon as possible.
Obviously, Pim would not rely solely on the Soul Retreat Crystal to fly out of the Suffering Borderland and return to the Death Herald Guilds headquarters.
He must have arranged some backup plans so that his soul, after leaving his physical body, could quickly turn danger into safety.
So, the answer is obvious!
Noland Lee squinted his eyes, looking in the direction of Pims tent, a hint of a smile on his lips.
If there were no surprises, a high-value magical artifact should exist inside Pims tent.
It could be a rare item capable of properly handling detached souls, or it could be an un-souled human body.
What exactly is it?
Noland Lee pulled up the deconstruction result of Pims soul and started browsing through the newly acquired memories.
A minute later, Noland Lee finished reading.
He clenched his fist, feeling both angry and relieved.
The deconstruction result of Pims soul was full of Pims recent memories.
Noland even saw the scene where Pim was interrogating him
He was angry at Pims abuse of private punishment and relieved that he could escape the others clutches.
None of these mattered.
What mattered was that Noland found what he wanted in these memory fragments!
He knew what was hidden in Pims tent now!
I must get into Pims tent as soon as possible!
Noland stood up from the ground, rubbing his hands in front of him, and his thoughts raced.
That is a key artifact for me to build an undead army faster; I must find it! Even if I cannot claim it for myself, I will devote all my Energy Points to its deconstruction! My energy points are already overflowing!
