Chapter 1023 Law of Devour
The demon magus sat down next to him and began to explain.
“There are actually a few of us, the wolves bloodlines who have the potential for the Law of Devouring. We are, after all, savage beasts.”
The magus then proceeded to explain the similarities between his demon wolf and Emery’s night wolf, which allowed him to successfully probe his core.
“Just now, I found a large number of the fire element within it. I believe one of your first devoured targets was a fire magus.”
Although the magus didn’t phrase it as a question and sounded completely sure, Emery still nodded to confirm his words. The first time he turned into a fey warlock and learned the new skill, he did, in fact, devour the warden of the Ouroboros prison, who was a fire magus.
“All right, Junior, listen carefully. The first rule of devouring: Do not devour any element that you have no proficiency in.”
Under Emery’s focused gaze, the magus began to explain that this was one of the main reasons that his pillar was cracked; he had forced fire energy into his core. What the magus just did to him was take out the fire energy that had seeped into his devouring pillar.
“As you have no proficiency in it, to absorb it will be so damn difficult, even i ind it hard to just throw the energy away”
After listening to the magus’s explanation and noticing how exhausted the magus clearly seemed because of it, Emery quickly showed his deep gratitude.
“Wait… i am not finished yet,” the magus interrupted him.
With the magus explanation., Emery understood that the pillar was still nor fixed. Apart from how the missing reddish glow, everything else was still the same.
His pillar status still showed that it was [Undefined].
“Please, Senior, if you know a way to fix it…”
“Yes, I do know of a way. However…” The magus paused to look at him with a very serious gaze, “Before that, I need you to know exactly what you will be learning here.”
The magus first thoroughly explained the danger of having multiple elements.
“In my opinion, as you already have a few element proficiency, It will probably be best if you simply allow the problematic pillar to stay the way it is and sacrifice it when you make your magus breakthrough.”
Emery had previously heard from Sage Fuxi about the complications that could happen as a result of having multiple elements amd he was ready with the consequences of it
Seeing the magus warn him about this matter and his complicated expression as he spoke to him about the Law of Devouring, he couldn’t help but wonder what it was that was causing the magus to hesitate to teach him.
“Senior, with my multiple elements, wouldn’t it mean it be more beneficial for me? I mean I will have more flexibility in devouring more types of energy.. can you please tell me what really is the main disadvantages of it?”
The magus heaved a sigh and continued.
“The Law of Devouring is a savage law. It is very difficult to control. If left unchecked, it could very well kill someone dear to you and even consume your rationality and your life.”
The magus once again had a complicated expression on his face as he fell silent for a few moments. Follow current novels on AllNovelFull.cᴏm.
The silence and the way he spoke about it made Emery believe that the magus personally had hurt someone close to him because of the Law of Devouring.
Emery pondered his words for a brief moment before asking the magus.
“Senior… please explain further?”
The magus looked into Emery’s eyes and said
“Alright, to explain, first you need to know this… the second rule of devouring: Do not devour what is beyond your capability. It can, and will greatly mess up your core.”
The magus afterward stood up and walked toward the bear carcass. While Emery was looking at the magus with confusion and curiosity, the magus pierced one of his claws into the dead bear’s brain to take out a piece of yellow spirit stone and began explaining.
“Emery, keep in mind that as an acolyte, you are advised only to devour non-human beings. Most beasts have their spirit energy coagulate into a spirit stone inside their body. Because of this, you can actually devour only about one-third of the spirit energy, making them much safer for an acolyte like you to target.”
The magus then explained, that when he get better, he could start targeting human, and even higher beings. When successfully devour the spirit energy and absorb it. It could immensely help improve his spirit force faster and develop his proficiency in the Law of Devouring.
This definitely the main reason why people learned the law.
Turning serious again, the magus continued.
“However, The more often you devour… the deeper your understanding of the Law of Devouring, the more you will thirst to devour. You will once again find it difficult to restrain the wolves’ savage urge, and without your realization, you will be tempted… and if you lose control, you will seek to hunt humans and devour their cores.”
Emery was stunned to hear the answer.
As someone who had experienced losing control multiple times, he knew very well just how dangerous it was to be unable to resist those urges. Since he balanced his bloodline, he had been able to continuously control his urges with ease.
To think that he would have to go through such a thing yet again… Emery couldn’t help but worry.
The magus glanced at Emery, who seemed to be thinking back to his experiences.
“Now that you know, do you still want to learn it?”
The magus’s question caused Emery to fall silent. His senior’s warning wasn’t something he could nor should take lightly. Even the peak full moon demon wolf was troubled with the issue, how would he fare against it?
He subconsciously furrowed his brows.
The magus only waited for Emery’s answer in silence, but he noticed everything. What Emery was fearing, he knew how it felt perfectly well.
However, at that moment, Emery’s mind shifted to the duel that would be held in 20 years. Furthermore, his home Earth would be faced with a calamity in 50 years. For this, he needed all the advantages he could get to become stronger.
Emery’s answer became clear.
‘Yes, Senior… I am sure, Please teach me. I have to learn it.”
Seeing Emery’s determination, the magus nodded and said “Alright then, first I will teach you how to fix that broken pillar first”
