Willpower 36

  "What a strong pressure."

  Penny emerged from the basement and didn't say a word until she returned to the room with an armful of scrolls.

  "Pressure?"

  "You haven't noticed, have you? As a soul fragment and in a sealed state, it's impossible for him to have the ability to connect to the magic net, yet he can create that illusion in the basement." Oculos said: "His willpower is too strong, it can even affect reality. If I get a bit closer, I'll definitely be discovered."

  "Perhaps it's all the memories of these three thousand nine hundred years." Panni recalled his conversation with the mummy, feeling a little moved, and let out a sigh.

  "Do you really believe him?" The elder asked in an uncertain tone.

  "Even if he deceives me, I have no other choice." Penny helplessly spread her hands: "The worst outcome is just that the demon will know about it."

  "You really put life and death outside of consideration, at that time he said he would guide you, you could have walked by yourself... actually no one will blame you." Okerus fell silent for a moment: "Just now the little Holy Warrior girl was urging you to leave."

  "Running away doesn't necessarily mean you can escape, after all this entire hemisphere is under the control of that magic image." Penny smiled: "Besides, I don't like being a coward."

  "...you are a noble person." Okuru said again after a moment of silence.

  "Maybe, actually... my courage isn't that abundant either." Penny's eyes shone with a firm light: "But I think what they call miracles only have the possibility of appearing when you dare to take action and create them."

  "Alright, brave young man..." Okurus sighed.

  Go create miracles quickly.

  ……

  Three days later, the magical image of Pascal arrived on schedule. Penny had been sleeping for two consecutive days and all the spells needed to be rechecked every morning. The mnemonic spell was very effective, and Penny didn't spend much effort studying those materials, but felt that they were as familiar as if she had been in contact with them for thousands of years. She believed that the experiment to deceive the magical image of Pascal was already sufficient.

  He naturally didn't know that his overly large soul had helped him out, if it were an ordinary person, wanting to digest and absorb these things, it would be impossible without several months of time. There is even the possibility of producing adverse effects such as mental breakdown due to the excessive influx of information, from this point of view, the actions of the Devil's Puppeteer are not all good either.

  Pascal the golem clearly wasn't going to greet them, a teleportation spell later, and they were in front of a door. The mechanist tapped on the door, and the runes above it automatically began to rotate. The door was extremely thick, seemingly taking a long time to open.

  "That guy's lab is protected by spell runes so tightly, I've never dared to explore deeper, so I won't be able to help you any further." Okkru said this to Penny three days ago.

  Now everything depends on Penny herself.

  The massive metal door of the laboratory emitted a heavy 'zapping' sound, and the law master adjusted his breathing, trying to calm himself down.

  He stood behind the Mummy Mecha's back, staring at a point on its metal abdomen, recalling what the Mummy Mecha had said:

  "That soul connection point is in the center of his abdomen... Don't expect me to be able to help you with anything, you should know that from the definition of a living being, I'm just some leftover soul fragments, he's the main body."

  "...If destroying this corpse could kill him, I'd be more than happy to have you do so, unfortunately it's not that simple. He has placed dozens of soul vessels within this base, even if the magic doll and this body are damaged, he still has places to hide and won't truly die..."

  "So the best way is to find a way to destroy his magical body, which will cause great harm to his soul. At this time, he will definitely float into this body - because this is his original flesh, and the instinct of the soul will drive him back here..."

  "After that, I'll try to suppress him, and you guys will take the opportunity to destroy this half-plane, then escape from the transmission array on the top floor of the base. The self-destruct device is..."

  Penny stared at the soul connection point of the magic image, guessing how many layers of spell barriers were protecting it, and what kind of opportunity she should look for to throw out the scroll of spells hidden in her sleeve...

  "Oh, I suddenly remembered something, my assistant."

  Panny was thinking, the magic image suddenly turned around and said to Panny in a mechanical voice: "Although I think you're a clever person who won't play with your own life, but I know there are many clever people in this world who often make mistakes because of some things. I'm worried that you'll ruin my experiment for some inexplicable reason, so I'll cast a spell on you."

  Pan Ni's heart sank, but his face didn't change: "I won't joke with my own life."

  "Don't decline then, my experiment is important, I don't want any accidents." The magic image didn't wait for Penny's reaction, raised its two iron arms and started casting a spell. It was clear that it didn't intend to ask for Penny's opinion further. Penny was stunned for a few seconds, and a beam of light had already shot out from the magic image's fingers and into Penny's brain.

  Penny's mind was like a thunderclap, and at the same time, she felt a thread of thought wrapped around her soul, and she suddenly became vigilant.

  He knew this spell, a fifth-level 'Control Human', which controlled the actions of the person under the spell through a soul link, and could also see part of the thoughts of the person under the spell. Once caught by this spell, any plans to ambush or sneak up on him would be completely ruined, and Pan Ni's life would not be spared either.

  At this tense moment, Penny's mind was racing fast, and she began to have crooked ideas.

  If this soul link is fully formed, he will never be reborn, so a way must be found to destroy it.

  He could feel the Soul Chain of the Clockwork Master beginning to invade a corner of his soul, that willpower from an almost legendary spellcaster was too strong and pure for him to resist.

  A struggle of wills; if inferior in strength, one must find a way to shatter the enemy's spiritual weakness - "Tome of Magical Defense: Enchantment Chapter"

  "You should know, he has completely abandoned his sentimental thinking. However, even if he hides himself in a mechanical shell, he is essentially human, so strong spiritual stimuli will still cause emotional fluctuations. His way of dealing with it is to immediately throw away - including some memories. That's how I was born." - Mummy Sagaba Pascal

  Penny's eyes suddenly flashed with a thread of enlightenment, integrating the scenes of the ancient empire he saw in the underground room and releasing them to the spiritual tentacles that probed everywhere!

  That tentacle suddenly stopped its invasive pace.
