Chapter 1797 1797. Transferring the Seal

Jack met Leavemealone at Themisphere's zone portal. He was waiting there after teleporting into the capital. Jack explained to him about what they were about to do. Domon only told him briefly, so Jack wanted to make sure he was clear on what he was getting into.

"Okay," Leavemealone said.

"So... You are cool about it, aren't you? You understand there might be unknown risks, right?" Jack asked.

"You said my Mark of Fire most likely made me immune to the effect of the seal, didn't you?" Leavemealone asked in return. Like Jack, he also received a new inherent skill after losing the Fire God Blessing. His was the Mark of Fire.

"Well, I never said immune. I said your inherent skill should make you more resistant to whatever heat pressure Suzaki might throw at you in her attempt to bully you for her freedom. Plus, we outworlders have an undying body. Suzaki might not be able to affect us as much as when she was sealed inside a native's body."

"In other words, everything is speculation," Carnelia said.

"It's a logical speculation based on intelligent reasonings. Am I right, Janus?" Jack turned to Janus.

"Uh... This is all new to me, honestly," Janus said. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Carnelia turned to Leavemealone and said, "Haon, forget this. There's too many uncertainties."

"Peniel, can you deal with your friend there?" Jack said.

"What do you mean deal? And she is not my friend!" Peniel returned.

"Yeah, I am not," Carnelia said while sticking her tongue out at Peniel.

"Are you looking for a fight?" Peniel asked.

"I'm doing it. Let's go!" Leavemealone declared.

"Oh? You will?" Jack asked, slightly surprised. He had been preparing several other nonsense opinions to persuade Leavemealone. If everything failed, he would ask his grandfather to come over.

"I owe you for saving me in Dritzuut. Even if that was the enemy's plan, I still need to repay this debt. With this favor, we are square!" Leavemealone announced.

"Dude... Before Dritzuut, I saved you a couple of times already. When you were strapped by Master's machine and when you were about to be executed in Vacharest. Never heard you repay me for those rescues."

Janus had been observing the rune diagram after greeting Broidrireg. He walked around the diagram while sensing its power nodes. He was jotting down their arrangements on a paper. "I think I can manage to recreate this diagram," He replied.

"The diagram is only to help channel the mana flow for the transfer. You still need to mimic the transfer ritual," Broidrireg said. "If everyone is ready. Haon, please step into the center of this rune diagram."

Leavemealone did as Broidrireg asked but Janus told everyone, "Please give me a few more seconds."

Broidrireg also entered the diagram and stood right before Leavemealone. When he saw Jack was also inside the diagram, he told Jack, "You, get out of the diagram."

"Oh, okay," Jack stepped away.

"Okay, I'm done," Janus said. When he was about to move out of the diagram, Broidrireg said to him, "No, you stay. You need to feel the transfer ritual to mimic it. Stand at this spot and don't move. You will not disturb the mana flow so long as you stay completely still."

After everything was set. Broidrireg started drawing some runic symbols in the air. Janus recorded the symbols using his mind.

While the ritual was happening, Jack noticed Eoranth had changed position. He was now standing at the exit, guarding it. The other dragons spread out and seemed to be on an alert. It didn't look like they had much confidence in the outcome of this transfer ritual.

The space above the rune diagram changed color as the ritual progressed. Different colors filled the space, but they were mostly dominated by green, blue, and red. This multicolor energy converged on Broidrireg's chest where the seal was located. The elder dragon grunted as it happened. His face showed that he was in pain. Slowly, the fiery seal started to peel off Broidrireg's scales.

"Graahhh...!!" Broidrireg roared when the peeling was halfway. The rest of the seal was abruptly ripped out of his chest. He panted heavily after that happened. The fire seal was now hanging in the air as the multicolor energy held it in place.

The seal suddenly trembled heavily. A burst of flames was emitted from the seal, but the multicolor energy dampened the effect. Broidrireg made a few hand gestures. Several runic symbols appeared. The fire seal calmed down afterward.

"Get ready! We can't let it stay in the open for long," Broidrireg warned Leavemealone.

"Hit me," Leavemealone said. He had unequipped his chest armor following Broidrireg's instruction. His bare chest was exposed.

Broidrireg made a pushing motion with one hand while his other drew yet more runic symbols. These runic symbols floated to Leavemealone and formed a circle around his bare chest. Suzaki's fire seal slowly floated to Leavemealone.

When the seal touched Leavemealone's chest, a sizzling sound was heard.

"Grrhhh...!" Leavemealone gritted his teeth as he felt the intense burning pain in his chest.

As the seal continued to sear itself into Leavemealone's chest, the pain became so unbearable he started screaming. When the seal finally settled completely in his chest, a large burst of flame came out. It engulfed Leavemealone's entire body. The flame became bigger, until it grew wings. A bird head eventually came out on top of the flames and spoke.

"Hahaha! Old one, I told you your seal won't hold me for long!" Suzaki exclaimed.
