Chapter 44 Eye of Black Thunder
After returning to the manor, Sharan nodded slightly to Vanessa and Shaman who were sitting in the garden drinking afternoon tea, and then took Sally back to her room.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Shalan ate a little, then asked Sally to leave the room, locked the door and took out the black pages. After making sure that the practice method of the Eye of Black Thunder that she remembered was correct, Shalan took out the glass jar from the black cloth bag, took out the fingernail-sized eyeball from it with a clean spoon, and gently placed it in her hand.
After finishing all this, Shalan sat cross-legged on the ground. After her mind was calm and completely relaxed, she slowly began to practice the Eye of Black Thunder for the first time according to the records on the black pages.
The long spell was like a strange ballad, chanted slowly from Shalan's mouth with a unique pronunciation and rhythm. As the spell was chanted, Shalan could feel that the mental power at the center of her eyebrows suddenly vibrated at a specific frequency. The frequency of this vibration was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, producing an inexplicable attraction, which drew from the void a strange power that Shalan had never seen before, and slowly injected it into the eyeball in Shalan's hand.
After finishing the first stage of the spell, Shalan reached out and grabbed the dagger beside her , cutting a bloody mark on the palm of the hand holding the eyeball. Then she clenched the eyeball with that hand, and blood gradually flowed out from between the fingers and dripped onto Shalan's legs and the carpet under her buttocks.
Shalan didn't care about the blood. He put down the knife with his other hand, clenched his right fist that was holding the eyeball, and began to chant the second stage . At this time, almost 70% of Shalan's mental power at the center of his eyebrows suddenly surged out and poured into Shalan's hands, completely merging with the eyeball in them.
When the mental power completely merged with the eyeball along with the chanting of the spell, the second stage of the spell also ended at the same time. At this time, Shalan suddenly opened her hands, and saw that the eyeball had turned into a small ball of black gelatinous substance, which slowly squirmed in Shalan's palm and absorbed the blood from the wound on Shalan's palm.
Looking at the squirming black colloid in her palm, Shalan took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and pressed the black colloid on her forehead, while chanting the third and final stage of the spell.
As the spell was chanted, the spiritual power in the spiritual sea between Shalan's eyebrows was completely extracted and integrated into the black colloid, causing the black colloid to slowly wriggle, and as if it had life, it formed a black rune on Shalan's forehead, which looked like an eye emitting thunder. The entire rune was only one or two circles larger than Shalan's eyes, but it looked as smart as Shalan's real eyes.
Eye of Black Thunder, cultivation successful!
The black eye rune on the forehead slowly disappeared under Shalan's skin, restoring Shalan's forehead to its original appearance.
Exhaling, Shalan simply lay on the ground. She looked like she had practiced the "Red Bull Breathing Method" ten times and had been trained by Hasid for a whole day. The exhaustion came from her spirit or bones. Even if Shalan had great willpower, she couldn't help but not want to move even a finger at this moment.
"My mental power has been completely drained. I just don't know if the cultivation of the Eye of Black Thunder only requires this much mental power, or if the Eye of Black Thunder varies from person to person and only requires the practitioner's full mental power... Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. I feel very tired just thinking now. I should just go to sleep. A good night's sleep should be enough..."
Low snoring sounds slowly began to sound, and Shalan fell asleep on the carpet. She was awakened by a knock on the door until the sun set. She rubbed her head with her hand, muttered unwillingly, and then had to stand up and open the door.
"Master Shalan, are you asleep? It's time to eat...Master Shalan, what happened to your hand?"
Seeing the blood-stained palm of Shalan's right hand, Sally immediately grabbed Shalan's hand to check the injury.
Shalan looked at Sally's worried expression and said with a sleepy smile, "It's okay, I just accidentally cut my hand. I'm a knight now, and this injury will heal in a few days. But there is some blood on my pajamas and the carpet, so I need you to take care of it."
As she spoke, Shalan took off her clothes, and under the gaze of the blushing Sally, she walked into the bathroom wearing only her tight underwear, ready to wash away all the sweat she had just produced while practicing the Eye of Black Thunder, and to take a bath to relieve her fatigue.
Lying in the bathtub, Shalan felt that a small part of her mental power had recovered at her forehead. She gently mobilized her mental power and opened the Eye of Black Thunder according to the instructions for using the Eye of Black Thunder.
But the black eye rune on Shalan's forehead reappeared, and there seemed to be almost invisible tiny black electric light flashing in front of the rune.
“According to the records on the black pages, all Black Thunder Eyes have two basic abilities. One is that they can be used to see through illusions, and the other is that they can be used to condense mental power to release the Black Thunder Gaze, which can be used as a powerful means of attack. I just don’t know to what extent this so-called powerful ability is.
As for the third ability that may be obtained depending on the eyes... I can vaguely feel it, and it seems to be able to be used like instinct, but as for what this ability is, I don't know. I can only find someone to test it. However, if this ability is an attack ability like the Black Thunder Gaze, then I can't just find someone to test it. "
Thinking of this, Shalan made a plan to find a chance to test the effects of the Black Thunder Gaze and the third unknown ability. Otherwise, it would be bad if she needed to use them at a critical moment but didn't know the effects.
…
Jonathan looked at the gangster kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his sharp claws and tore his throat, then poured the blood into the copper bowl he carried with him.
After six people sacrificed over more than a month, the cracks on the copper bowl became much less, with only the most obvious and largest cracks remaining on it. As for the other small cracks, they were almost invisible .
After receiving the blood of the dead gangster, Jonathan followed the same procedure. He used an inverted pentagram drawn with blood and a human oil candle made from human fat. He began another sacrifice and finally drank the last drop of sticky, gelatinous purple-black blood left after the sacrifice.
Jonathan stood up slowly, stretched his body, licked his lips with his tongue, and laughed, "My power is already very strong, and it's time to settle accounts, Shalan... and Ailan, it's time for the two of you to pay me back what you owe me!"
