Chapter 301: a bloody red lotus with 4 petals
With the control of Excalibur he also got all the information he needs on the sword and its repairing process.
There are other benefits other than gaining the absolute natural magic heart and the Excalibur.
Also refining the heart of king Arthur John got some information about the treasures hidden by King Arthur as the leader of knights of round table.
This treasure also contains some rare herbs, magical materials that are currently extent and many other good things.
John cannot take them with him if he leaves this world.
But he can at least make some good things for his next generation for protection.
After gaining everything he did not leave the island immediately.
He has one more important thing to do.
That is to deal with Merlin's soul.
But before that he found some strange vibrations after he formed the absolute natural magic heart.
With careful feeling of these strange vibrations he found that they are actually magic waves.
His eyes immediately lit up and an obsessive look appeared in his eyes.
He did not forget his obsession towards the origin of magic.
But only now he was able to feel these strange energy vibrations.
He sat on the spot and continued to feel them.
After a while he discovered that there are 7 distinctive vibrations from different directions.
Also there is a specific order like a water flow touching various gates and these gates vibrates when the turbulent flow touched them.
It took him a whole day to sense the clear directions of these 7 sources.
Also he found the order at which they being touched.
He felt strange and felt that the seal he just broke is similar to these 7 vibration magic waves.
If it is a magic formation or magic circle one has to go to the starting point or the open point to enter.
Naturally the first vibration of the 7 or the last vibration of the 7 should be the opening point based on normal magic circle knowledge.
But both of them are in opposite directions.
John did not have a choice but to choose one direction.
He decided to choose the end point to see what is it that this magic circle is releasing in the form of magic waves.
As soon as he made the decision he moved towards the end point.
He can now move between large distances without the help of a portkey.
After jumping through the space for a few times John finally came to mount Kailash in the Himalayan range.
His eyes were focused on the mountain in front of him and the end of the strong magic wave is coming from the top of the mountain.
But he was unable to perceive what is happening on the top of the mountain.
He tried to climb up using magic.
But he was rejected.
He used a mortal way to fly up with a helicopter.
But when he reached the top he felt that he was on the wrong mountain.
There is only one explanation to this kind of situation.
That is he took a wrong path.
Some times when hiding the treasure or some treasures with strong magical energy would form a strange magical barrier around them.
If you walk straight into the barrier you will never reach the location you wanted to reach.
Only by travelling through a predetermined path that is the correct route can lead you to the treasure inside.
This means that he has to find the route to correctly go to the top of the mountain to reach the right destination.
He got to the bottom of the mountain and tried to find a way.
But he could not find any.
So he did not have a choice but to go the first location that is the location where he felt the first magic wave is coming in this series.
He once again jumped through space and moved for a long time but stopped at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
He has to cross this Atlantic Ocean.
This means that the magic wave should be coming from American continent.
Even though he improved he did not have enough power to jump through space across the Atlantic Ocean.
He did not take the portkey instead he took a flight to North America.
Before taking the flight he specifically checked to see if the magic wave is from the north or south.
Only after confirming that it is from the north did he take the flight in that direction.
After getting off the plane it took him some time to jump through the spaces.
Finally he reached Mount Shasta, California.
When he reached here he found the strange vibrations from the magic wave getting stronger by many times.
He tried to get to the source of this magic energy.
He felt that it is some sort of vortex that is sucking in energy of some sort and sending it out.
He did not understand what this is but he tried to get close to it.
Strangely he was unable to get close to the location where the magic waves are forming.
He tried different methods but the result is none of them world.
Without a choice he wanted to use the sound frequencies that are used before to break the seals.
Strangely one of the sound frequencies worked and he was able to see a red path leading towards the mountain top through a humongous vortex.
As he walked into the path he felt a strange pull and finally came to an enclosed space.
Here there is a huge lotus with only four petals were present.
It is bloody red in color giving a strong terror feeling but there is also a strong confidence.
It looked solid like it cannot be moved no matter what.
These are the feelings he had when he looked at the lotus that is sucking in the energy from various channels and releasing a strong magic wave that he felt outside.
Chapter 302: the lotus seed and dying lotus
It looked solid like it cannot be moved no matter what.
These are the feelings he had when he looked at the lotus that is sucking in the energy from various channels and releasing a strong magic wave that he felt outside.
Based on his studies these feelings are related to Muladhara chakra or root chakra in few mythologies.
It is said that the earth also has chakras just like many organisms.
This theory might be true.
But what he did not expect that he noticed that the big red lotus seems to have some problem and looked withered.
Even though it is majestic, he can see the withered petals that are shriveled.
The bloody red color has a hint of darkness as if the flower is losing its life.
"So this is the reason for the decrease in the magic around the world."
He tried to observe the big lotus carefully trying to find a way to restore it.
But he did not understand or found any way.
Instead he found that there are lotus seeds in the pod at the center.
Not many of them are present and most of them have already turned dark which is the dead state.
There are few red seeds that still have life.
After careful inspection for a while John called out Goldy to check.
He wanted to take a red seed and try to plant it in his soul.
Naturally he as a being should also have chakras in his body.
Since he saw this big lotus he felt that he should do this to improve his soul further.
It is a strange feeling and he wanted to try.
The big lotus is both physical and illusionary just like his absolute natural magic heart.
He cannot enter the lotus to get the seed.
It is Goldy that helped him to get the seed from the lotus.
He could not touch the seed with his physical body.
Fortunately, his soul is strong and it can move to hold the seed.
The soul then followed the information he has in mind to put this lotus seed into the soul where the base of the spine of the original body should be present.
Immediately a tint of red appeared in the soul and strangely the lotus seed was planted in that red spot.
It did not bloom but there is a strange visualization of a small lotus at the spot where the seed was placed.
John understood that he needs something more to let the seed grow.
But he felt a strange energy from the seed that entered both his body and soul.
He soon got into a sitting position and absorbed the energy.
Soon he felt that his body has become stronger.
In the knowledge he knows this root chakra is related to stability like earth and it is good for bones, body structure and partly sexuality.
So, all these things have improved by a level in just few minutes.
...
When he was done here he felt very refreshed and was confident to play with at least 16 women at the same time.
Also he found a direction where the energy formed here is being transferred from this location to another location.
That is not all there is a specific energy channel to travel.
Since he possesses the lotus seed in his soul he was able to travel in this energy channel at the fastest speed.
In just few minutes he arrived at Lake Titicaca.
This lake borders both Peru and Bolivia, and it is said to be the water chakra Svadhishthana.
He followed the energy channel and entered into the lake without any obstruction or touching the water.
It is a strange feeling like walking in an air bubble surrounded by water.
Soon he came to a similar location like before with a huge orange lotus with 6 petals.
John observed that this lotus is also breaking up and losing its vitality.
John understood that this world is losing magic because the magic production mechanism is being broken.
As for why it is breaking, he doesn't know the reason.
This would is losing magic and soon there will no longer be any magic.
This is the origin point of magic and the mechanism through which the magic is formed is also unknown.
So he has to do more research in this area to find the solution for this problem.
He quickly collected the second lotus seed that is good and moved on to the next location through the energy channel.
The Solar Plexus earth chakra, also known as Manipura, is believed to reside in Uluru.
Despite various myths surrounding Uluru, it is considered extremely sacred and has earned the status of a World Heritage Site.
Uluru is said to have great energy that can re-energize and help a person reach their higher self, and it's possible that those who visit have picked up on this, as well.
The history of Uluru is carved into its rock face, and with 600 million years behind it, it's easy to believe there's sacred power in this area of Australia.
There John found a lotus with 10 petals.
It is golden yellow in color and gives of the feeling of burning.
It is like standing near a furnace or magma completely naked.
John fortunately has Goldy that can take the lotus seed for him.
After integrating the lotus seed he felt that it is not longer hot instead it is warm.
Strange but he don't know the reason behind these things.
He did not even understand why there are these lotus flowers and various energies that are combining and cooking magic energy.
Yes he considers magic as energy.
Think about it human spectrum is 380 to 700 nano meter.
We can only see colors within this wavelength.
Does is prove that there are colors in only this little wavelength limit?
The answer is obviously a big NO.
We cannot see doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
Chapter 303: reached the final chakra
The answer is obviously a big NO.
We cannot see doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
It is just that we are not developed enough to see that.
Similarly the tastes and even the magic also come under this situation.
Muggles don't know about magic and they believe in science.
This doesn't mean that magic does not exist.
It is just that they don't know or seen any proof of the existence of magic.
...…..
He got what he needed here and found the next channel to travel.
It only took him few minutes and finally arrived at the new location.
This place should be the heart chakra that is originally known as Anahata.
Naturally it is present at England and it has some close relation to the dragon heart from before.
The dragon heart fell in this country for a reason.
Glastonbury and Shaftesbury, two ancient towns in England, are collectively revered as the Heart Chakra of the Earth.
Nestled within the rolling green landscapes of England, these towns are steeped in rich history and mythology.
The Heart Chakra, in human energy systems, is associated with love, compassion, and emotional balance.
Glastonbury, with its mythical connections to King Arthur and the Holy Grail, and Shaftesbury, with its serene and spiritual ambiance, perfectly embodies these qualities.
Also the island of Avalon is very close to this area.
John found a huge green lotus here and it was strangely corrupted by the similar corruption that that dragon heart had before.
After integrating the dragon heart John directly destroyed the will of the dragon inside with the help of Goldy.
He still did not understand the origin of Goldy that can even suppress a dragon.
Well they are related by soul and he was very happy to have her as his companion.
It can be said that she is his wife and directly connected to his soul.
She knows everything about John but the other way connection is not perfect and he don't know anything about her.
It is like his power if far weaker to understand about her.
He got the seed from the heart chakra and then moved on to the next energy channel.
This time he came to a different place again.
Next chakra should be Visuddha or the throat chakra.
This one directly deals with energy and it is blue in color.
The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, along with Mt. Sinai and the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, collectively form the Throat Chakra of the Earth.
Even though it covers a large area John was able to find the location of the throat chakra which is at the very center of these three places.
When he came over he found a huge blue lotus.
When looking at it John felt that its color is like a Mana bar in the games.
The magic power if very purified here and the large amount of magic energy is spreading throughout the world from this place.
But John noticed that more than half of the lotus is broken and it is barely functioning.
The more it worked the more damage it is causing to the lotus.
The reason for this is actually the blockages through the energy channel that is leading to the next chakra.
This means that the next two chakras were blocked.
To be precise the connection to the universe was cut off.
Also John noticed that this is not naturally broken but a man made thing.
This made him more confused.
He doesn't know if there are other people that travelled like he did and took action.
He found that many lotus seeds in the lotus pod are missing.
This means that more than 1 person should have come through this place before.
As for why they broke the things is not known by him.
But the broken passage is still usable by him with the help of Goldy.
The time it took to travel has increased by several hours and he finally came to a location.
It is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
There is a single island with a towering mountain.
The mountain is strangely cyan in color which is surrounded by green forest and Blue Ocean waters giving a unique view to this place.
The entire thing looked like an eye John moved into the place and finally found the lotus with only two petals that made it look like an eye.
At the center where the lotus pod it preset is very dark like the night sky.
There are few stars blinking which should be the lotus seeds.
Most of them have dying light while only one proper start that is still bright.
John took it and integrated it.
The passage to the last chakra is also broken severely with many space fisheries.
Fortunately Goldy can still manage the thing with the support of the absolute natural magic heart and the previous lotus seeds that he integrated.
Soon he flew in a broken energy channel all the way from Pacific Ocean to the mount Kailash.
This time he found a passage like steps leading to the top of mount Kailash.
There are around 1008 steps.
It is not easy to reach the top.
Even having the power from the past 6 chakras he still has to pass the test to reach the final chakra called the Sahasrara chakra.
From below he was able to see a huge lotus on the top of the mount Kailash.
But he has to climb up all the way.
If it is normal then he can climb these 1000+ steps easily with his strong body.
But things are not as easy as it seems to be.
A strange pressure started to apply on his body as he took the steps to walk forward.
With step by step he climbed up half of the steps and he is severely exhausted almost reaching his limit.
It is like hundreds of chains attached to his body and pulling him down.
Chapter 304: firm decision, system response
With step by step he climbed up half of the steps and he is severely exhausted almost reaching his limit.
It is like hundreds of chains attached to his body and pulling him down.
When he looked back those hundreds of chains are all the family members, lovers, children and beneficiaries he has in his life.
In order to get to the final lotus one should be willing to let go of all these connections of life.
But John did not think things like that.
He stood half was through and thought of a solution.
It is not like he can take them all with him to his next life.
He doesn't even know if he has a next life or perish with the system.
All he knows is that in this life he can have all these people as his relatives and partners in life.
He did not have to particularly let go of them.
All he has to do is to accept that he will only have them in this life and hope to cross paths with them in their next life.
It is not like he can pull them all with him.
Everyone has their own destiny and they crossed paths in this life.
When feeling like this John felt that he is suddenly enlightened.
He was close to his family because of love.
Is love endless?
The answer is NO.
There will be a time that people will feel that it is enough and he wanted to move on.
It is not like he can bring the people to immortality.
Even with immortality the life would become numb over time and staying forever will only make things more complicated and wasteful.
Instead of that having an immortal soul is the best thing.
He can reborn and fall in love again and have an enjoying life instead of living endlessly and stupidly.
So for a being one life is just one life.
As for his memories of this life they would be sealed into a data base in his soul when he reincarnates later.
This way he can enjoy new life along with vast knowledge that he accumulated.
As long as he remembers the enlightenment he has right now he will not question his own decision.
This would solve many problems for him and in life.
....
When he came to the conclusion the chains attached to his body are still there.
But they are not attached to his soul.
With that the chains became light without any weight.
He took the next step and walked all the way to the top.
He came to a conclusion about his life and even his past life.
He doesn't want to be a god.
Being an immortal is even more useless.
Ruling the world is a short thing with long life.
The memories are precious because they are the proofs of his happiness.
But once the life is over it is good to forget the past and start a new chapter.
With this kind of mentality he walked step by step all the way to the top.
When he came here he saw a huge lotus that looked like the universe was fit in those petals.
They are black like sky with magenta hue in them.
There are many dazzling lights with stars, planets and life in them.
This lotus is the only one that did not show any form of damage.
Well it is to be expected.
The lotus here did not care about the life and death of magic.
It should only care about the sustenance of earth.
That means as long as earth is alive, things would be born and things would die endlessly.
This is the consciousness of earth opening the final chakra.
John understood the meaning of things very clearly.
He did not take a seed from the lotus.
He did not ask Goldy to take the seed from the lotus.
What he is waiting for is that the consciousness of earth to give him the lotus seed on its own.
This is what he felt and he was confident in this matter.
He sat on the side calmly consolidating his decision from before.
Human body, mind and soul are very strange things.
As long as you make a firm decision the body, mind and soul would act perfectly in line with the decision.
But the decision and conclusion should be firm.
Only this way can one receive the complete support from the body, mind and soul.
Finally when he completely consolidated a black seed with golden magenta hue flew out of the huge lotus with 1000 petals and landed on the top of the head of John's body.
Then it entered his soul lying dormant.
But the benefits he got are endless.
Right when he opened his eyes he got a notification from the system.
"Tring
The system was able to successfully connect to the will of the world and the connection with the mother system is still pending in response.
The system sent the emergency signal to the mother system through the will of the world and expected response time would be in 1 year minimum and 2 years maximum.
Expect good news host.
The system black box recorded all the actions, decisions and achievements of the host.
This was also sent to the mother system through the connection of the will of the world.
So host would receive the rewards when the mother system showed the response.
...…"
John smiled happily.
But he is already strong.
What else does he want from the system to make him interested?
Unless there is going to be another world or something different, he did not think that he did not have anything to do with this.
Any way it will take one year or more time to get the response.
Before that he has something important to take care off.
That is the corruption caused by Merlin that wanted to attack him and seize his body before.
Chapter 305: three planes of space to reach the floating castle
Before that he has something important to take care off.
That is the corruption caused by Merlin that wanted to attack him and seize his body before.
He would not let his grudges go easily.
Also the presence of this Merlin here would cause many problems for this world.
So he has to destroy Merlin as quickly as possible.
Well this is the excuse he made.
In reality he wanted to get the knowledge, wand and other treasures of Merlin.
He is not a protagonist to give excuses.
He is a villain that is true to his thoughts and actions.
So his next target is to the castle in the reflection of the lake.
But before going he wanted to completely control the power in his body.
So he took 2 months of time to carefully understand his gains.
Goldy is also very helpful and helped him connect with the strong soul that he cultivated.
Also another miraculous thing happened.
That is he was able to hear the voice of Goldy.
With their soul connection he should be able to hear her voice.
But his soul is not strong enough before.
Now that situation has changed and he was able to hear her voice.
This is the voice of a young woman that should be around 16 to 18 years old.
"Master, you were able to hear my voice finally."
"I wanted to tell you about something I noticed but I was unable to communicate with you."
John then spoke.
"I am curious about you and your origin.
What exactly are you."
Goldy spoke with her tender voice.
"Master, I don't know what race I belongs to.
It should be a race that is far older and related to the fire of creation in the depths of chaos.
Originally I did not awaken my bloodline and is only a normal raven bird with golden mane.
But after coming into contact with you and that strong vitality from the druid bloodline has awakened my bloodline slowly.
As for the other matters I don't know.
I can only say that I have a very strong but mysterious bloodline called the chaos bird bloodline.
...…"
They chatted for a while but there is no new information.
John also did not say much.
Goldy can read his thoughts and he can also read her thoughts.
She considers John as her master but not as a husband.
Naturally it still needs time to slowly change things.
Also she needs to transform into a human before he can get her.
The reason why he was thinking about this is because she is connected to his soul.
Even if he reincarnate after his death, she would follow along with him because of the soul connect between them.
After 2 months John came to the location of the lake where the corrupted soul of Merlin and his mysterious castle is present.
Before he did not notice but now he noticed that the entire place has three different space planes connected with each other.
One place is what he is seeing.
The second plane is the castle in the reflection of the lake.
The third plane is actually the true location of the castle that is actually floating in the sky.
He has to pass through the specific path to reach the floating castle.
But for that an important item is necessary.
That is the Excalibur that was used to seal Morgan and King Arthur.
In the second plane under the water there is a monster hiding.
One has to first get to the top of the cliff over the lake and jump into the lake below.
Then they have to go all the way to the bottom of the lake and pass through the mirage under the lake to reach the second plane.
From there one has to come out of the lake to enter the third plane of space where the castle is floating over the lake in the sky.
Then he has to get the top of the cliff and use the Excalibur to activate the draw bridge to bring down the bridge to enter floating castle.
...…
The biggest problem is actually the monster in the lake.
It is not something that anyone can easily kill it.
But for John it is an easy thing.
He has the strong power, Goldy, and Excalibur.
So he walked over top of the cliff and then looked into the lake.
He clearly saw a huge shadow in the lake.
He is not stupid enough to through away his life.
He doesn't know what kind of trap or restrictions are set here.
If there is a problem with the usage of magic then he would be the one dying.
But there is no prefect trap.
He has a way to break it with the charged plates that he prepared earlier.
They have killing curse and other strong curses in them.
As long as he activates them he will be able to cause the monster to die.
Also the curse cards are stored into the system space.
So he did not worry about anything.
There are also protection spell cards that can give him enough time.
He still has a time turner with him that can let him escape without a problem.
Unless he was instantly killed, it is impossible to kill John completely.
On the cliff he took a deep breath and jumped off the cliff straight into the lake below.
Right when he touched the water he felt a strong oppression on his body and soul.
But the seeds in his soul and the absolute natural magic heart took effect and removed the oppression on his body.
Soon he entered into the water but with a wave of his hand a bubble of water is formed around him giving him breathing space.
At the same time few huge balls of light were sent out of his wand to illuminate the lake and spread the light in the dark lake.
Chapter 306: killing the monster in the lake
Soon he entered into the water but with a wave of his hand a bubble of water is formed around him giving him breathing space.
At the same time few huge balls of light were sent out of his wand to illuminate the lake and spread the light in the dark lake.
The water has the ability to absorb magic and the spells he cast were rapidly being devoured by the water.
But his magic power is really vast.
So it is not a problem.
With the illumination of huge light he saw the terrifying monster here.
It looked rather disgusting.
It looked like the combination of a tree and a squid with brittle broken skin and hundreds of slimy tentacles.
There are big red eyes that are almost glowing in the dark waters.
There is a huge mouth with hundreds of sharp fangs and it looks disgustingly frightening.
Fortunately John has a strong and he was not frightened at that moment.
The monster is also awake and looked at John with great anger.
The huge tentacle rushed over towards John wanting to catch him and eat.
But Goldy came out of John's heart and its fiery black tentacles passed through the water without any diminishment of their fire.
They directly stopped the huge tentacles of the monster from attacking.
At the same time they are also burning the huge slimy tentacles of the monster.
John is not idle.
He took out the Excalibur and pointed it towards the eyes of the monster and controlled the Excalibur with his thoughts and magic.
The Excalibur shot out like a missile and directly stick into the eye of the monster.
Even though it looked like a toothpick poked the huge eye the pain could be imagined.
Also the monster is already being burnt by Goldy.
Naturally it became angrier with the attack of John.
John did not stop either and activated the magic to let the Excalibur that stuck in the eyes of the monster to turn into a drill instead of a poke.
So the huge sword started to rotate like a drill and plunged into the eyes of the monster more and deeper.
The sharpness of Excalibur did not need any checking.
It can even cut the bone of a dragon and pierce the dragon heart.
What can this small mutated monster do to stop it?
Also this mutated monster is also mutated because of the spilled dragon blood.
So it has a suppressing effect from Excalibur and even John.
It wanted to devour John to get the power and bloodline from John to become a true dragon.
Unfortunately it misjudged the person in front of him.
It is natural that it could not sense the power in John.
It is not a cultivation world but a half baked magical world.
So it could not sense anything from John other than the integrated dragon heart because of the blood resonance.
Unfortunately it did not know about John.
The tentacles of Goldy entered into the tentacles of the monster and they started to burn violently.
The fiery tentacles pierced into the body of the monster like fiery snakes and started to burn the body of the monster from within.
With Excalibur attacking its brain at the same time as Goldy, the monster is completely in a mess unable to do anything.
John waved his hand to let the lights glow brightly and the monster slowly burnt to death.
Its skin started to crack and slowly turned into ash.
The other eye of the monster started to dim down as its life started to lose into the endless darkness.
But Goldy did not even leave its soul.
It was devoured and was nourished between John and her.
At the same time after the giant monster turned into ash, it revealed a huge pearl like monster core.
It is red in color and it is the size of a foot ball.
Its shape is elliptical and looked very solid.
John took the monster core and felt a strong throbbing from the lotus seeds in his chakras.
They are very much interested in this monster core.
John understood immediately and let his soul body and Goldy absorb the energy from the monster core on the spot.
It is not like there is any danger around him right now.
It only took half an hour to absorb the monster core and it vanished into thin air.
The lotus seeds in the chakras of John showed slight signs of germinating.
But it is not much.
With that he moved to the thin water film like portal below.
He did not directly remove the water in this lake when killing the monster is because of this thin water film.
He has once heard that this kind of portals requires specific conditions.
As long as one condition was broken then the portal door would be broken and space fragmentation would happen.
If that happens then John would definitely die in the chaotic space.
He is not stupid enough to die like those moronic villains.
Soon he stepped into the water film and came to another plane.
Then he swam out of the lake.
There is no monster in this lake.
He came to the shore of the lake and looked into the sky.
A majestic castle is floating in the sky.
There is only a reflection of the castle in the lake.
John flew back to the top of the cliff and found that there is a groove on a stone at the edge of the cliff.
This grove was made for the key to bring down the draw bridge for the floating castle.
Originally this floating castle was built for King Arthur.
But he died before enjoying this magnificent palace.
Then Merlin took this castle into his own living domain.
John smiled and inserted the Excalibur into the slot for the key and immediately a waterfall appeared out of the cliff.
The water flowed up towards the castle and connected to the entrance of the castle.
Chapter 307: castle barely operational because of lack of magic energy
John smiled and inserted the Excalibur into the slot for the key and immediately a waterfall appeared out of the cliff.
The water flowed up towards the castle and connected to the entrance of the castle.
Then from the castle the draw bridge opened up.
It looked more like steps and these steps fell straight on the water that turned into steps.
When they are connected John took his steps into the castle.
He is very vigilant when walking into the castle.
There are some defensive mechanisms in the castle but they are not active.
John walked into the external yard of the castle.
The land was cracked and there is no sense of fertility.
There is reddish black smog around the area.
The entire castle looked eerie like a ghost castle.
Well it really is a ghost castle with the ghost of Merlin in it.
Sometimes he felt like he was being watched by someone from the windows above.
He did not enter completely.
Instead he called Goldy out started to clear off the corruption around him.
When going into the place of an enemy it is best to do as much of damage as he can before entering into the strong hold.
This way, if you want to escape there would be a way out in the damaged area.
So his first target is to clear off the external area of the castle.
The tentacles of Goldy are big enough to cover the entire outer area of the castle easily.
Quickly there are many hidden dangers appeared after the tentacles of Goldy passed around.
But all of them were broken.
The castle doors and windows are tightly blocked.
John cannot break them easily either.
But with Excalibur on his hand it was very easy.
John was sure that Merlin will not be able to use his original wand.
There is reason is that his wand has the lightning core which is contradicting to his current state of corruption.
Also he is in soul state.
As long as he touches it he would be the first one to get effected by it.
The lightning core was originally enchanted to kill the dragon and darkness with core runes.
So as long as there is something related to the opposing power it would react violently.
John directly cut off the front door of the castle but did not enter through here.
Instead he went around breaking all the windows of the castle that he can possibly attack.
He did not leave any window or door that is not broken.
Even though it is made of metal the sharpness of Excalibur along with his super human strength it is as easy as cutting a slice of cheese.
Also he did not have any interest in living in this castle.
Just maintaining this castle is very costly.
It was made using the half baked magic knowledge of this world.
There are many flaws in this castle.
Instead of using it that is no different than burning money John wanted to salvage the useful things from this castle.
Even burning money might talk some time to burn.
But this castle would use something more than money to work.
As for how it is working till now is related to what Merlin did.
Actually it is not working properly.
If it is working John would not be able to enter into the castle so easily.
All the defenses of the castle are already not working.
In order to maintain the 3 planes of space and let the castle float most of the energy in the castle was being used.
Because of this very reason the castle was completely closed to not allow John inside.
Naturally the spirit inside did not expect that John would not care about such a magnificent castle and break the doors and windows directly.
John still did not enter into the castle.
Instead he let the tentacles of Goldy enter in and check things for him.
The tentacles are an extension of the energy of Goldy.
Any damage to them will not have any damage to Goldy.
But these things can really help her and John checking the situation outside.
There are many other uses from these tentacles.
For now it would help him search and destroy all the problematic things in the castle along with the hidden dangers.
Soon these tentacles entered into the inner castle and started to break through the area more than that was done by John.
Only after making sure that there is no danger John walked into the inner castle.
Even after the destruction the entire thing is magnificent.
But what can John say.
He doesn't mind rising a small fish but he don't want to raise an elephant just for the show.
He first went from floor to floor reaching to the top of the castle.
There are many valuable items that he found along the way.
There are rare materials that are used for decoration which is very wasteful.
The medicinal garden in the upper floor was a mess with all the medicinal and magical plants dead.
John did not find anything that resembles the soul of Merlin all this time.
There is some corruption and energy but that is all there is to it.
Well there is still basement below the castle floor and there are also hidden compartments that are not touched by him.
He also found that there is a magic enchantment in the castle that can let all the armored suits to come to life and fight.
But it is not working because of the lack of energy.
When this castle was first made there might be some strong magic in the world.
But now the magic is many times thinner.
It is barely enough for let the castle float.
So, all the traps and defenses of the castle are useless right now.
"It is no wonder that he wanted to connect to the system to gain the energy from outside."
Chapter 308: Merlin
So, all the traps and defenses of the castle are useless right now.
"It is no wonder that he wanted to connect to the system to gain the energy from outside."
John murmured.
Because of this John did not have any problem going around in the castle like a walk in the park.
Soon the hidden compartments in the top floors of the castle were also broken and searched.
All the good things were directly salvaged and stored in an expandable pouch.
John doesn't want to do a search later.
If the castle has self destruction function like those some stupid villains attack, he will not get anything later.
Instead of that he planned to salvage the good things on the spot.
So he took his time making the soul of Merlin that is hiding more and more tensed.
Merlin is still strong.
Actually compared to the soul of Dumbledore the soul of Merlin is at least 20 times stronger.
But John is currently over 100 times stronger.
This strength has improved so much because of the 7 lotus seeds from the magic origin chakras of the earth and devouring the dementors and the corruption of dragon heart.
Also Merlin's soul was severely damaged by the corruption.
Also when it tried to break the defenses of the system to connect to the higher level world, it was strongly attacked.
Even though he succeeded in occupying a part of the system there is also a significant damage.
So his power was significantly reduce.
That is why he was unable to seize the body of John directly that is under the special protection of the system offline defense without direct confrontation.
Later John became stronger and stronger crossing over his power.
Still he will be able to take over John if he has the element of surprise.
Unfortunately for him John is too cautious and he was able to wait till he became strong to confront him.
Now he will not be able to take over the body of John even if he wanted to.
The only thing he can do is to beg for mercy and escape from here.
But he has nowhere else to go.
So he wanted to hide here and lure John and try his last chance with a different tactic.
He is hoping that John was corrupted by the dragon heart before coming here with the Excalibur.
There is something that would irritate the corrupted soul that did not surrender completely to the corruption.
Unfortunately he did not know that John has actually conquered the corruption and the dragon heart.
At the same time he doesn't know about Goldy.
Soon the upper part of the castle was completely checked by John.
Also it was cleanly salvaged like a locust has passed through this place.
Then John found the entrance to the basement.
There are three entrances to the basement.
One is at the front yard at the entrance.
One is inside the castle.
Third one is at the back yard of the castle.
John has blocked the entrance in the castle and the entrance in the backyard using a special magic formation that would alert him and also block the soul for a brief amount of time.
This time is enough for John to come over and catch the soul.
After setting these magic formations he walked over to the front entrance and slowly entered into the basement.
Naturally the tentacles of Goldy have entered first.
It cleared off most of the corruption in the basement.
As John entered he found a different place of staying.
There are some utensils and other markings as if someone once lived here.
In a chair that looked like the king's chair a ball of thick bloody reddish fog started to take shape.
Soon it turned into the appearance of a person.
Soon after that John was able to outline a senile old man's image in the fog.
Also this old man was severely deformed and looked like a zombie in ghost form.
"Hahaha… you younger generation was able to corner me so much.
Tell me, how you subdued that wild dragon Morgan…."
Even though John is a villain he did not have the hobby of talking with the villain and give them a chance to do something.
So he let Goldy take actions without answering the old man.
After devouring his soul, he can get all of his memories.
Since it is like that he doesn't have to talk to him.
Goldy acted without any warning and the tentacles spread throughout the room at the fastest speed.
Even Merlin did not think that John would attack without even saying a world.
He wanted to surprise John instead he received a big surprise back.
He tried to escape but he was unable to escape.
With no other choice Merlin wanted to risk and use his lightning wand.
But he would receive the equal amount of backlash for every attack he makes on John.
John has already noticed this and is ready to use the Excalibur to resist the lightning attack the moment Merlin attacks him.
Originally the Excalibur contains a part of the lightning resistant material that was used in the original weapon that almost killed the dragon.
But now this can be used to resist the attack of the lightning from the lightning core.
Any away Merlin will not be able to use the strong attack because his soul was severely damaged.
Also John not only resisted but also attacked back using his wand.
It is still the converted killing curse that was effective against the souls.
In the means time the tentacles of Goldy did not stop and moved to attack Merlin while protecting John carefully from the unexpected attacks.
After 20 minutes of fighting finally Merlin lost because of the lack of soul power.
John let Goldy devour in the corrupted soul through the tentacles and started to refine it.
Also John cut off the soul hand that is holding the lightning wand.
Chapter 309: Merlin also divided his soul into many parts
John let Goldy devour in the corrupted soul through the tentacles and started to refine it.
Also John cut off the soul hand that is holding the lightning wand.
With that the soul of Merlin was successfully devoured.
But John always felt that he has missed something.
Well Merlin is a very cunning and all powerful wizard of this world that stood at the pinnacle once.
Naturally he would not die so easily.
Then John suddenly thought.
If Voldemort can split his soul, can't Merlin do the same?
As soon as he thought of this, he let Goldy search the entire basement carefully.
Sure enough he found a portrait of Merlin that has an inkling of his soul.
Even though it is just an inkling of his soul,
It can still take over an ordinary human and slowly built up the momentum.
John smiled and immediately let Goldy take the soul of Merlin and devour it with her help.
John went to check the entire castle and found at least 4 of this kind of soul pieces.
John has new understanding of Merlin's cruelty.
After this he came out of the castle and back to the cliff.
He moved a little distance and started to devour the memories and soul energy of the main soul of Merlin.
Merlin might have expected that John would destroy him.
But he would have never expected that John would devour his memories.
With his memories of Merlin, John can know all the good deeds of Merlin and where he hid those souls around the world.
"No wonder, Merlin appeared so weak.
Well you have miscalculated my capabilities by a large margin."
John murmured after he was done absorbing all the memories of Merlin with a bright grin.
This is enough for John to understand everything.
Soon he started the rapid purge of all the soul pieces of Merlin all over the world.
It only took him a week to complete this.
There is one at the Hogwarts castle as well.
After he was done with this, he moved to do another thing.
He started to collect the famous swords and other weapons based on the memories of Merlin.
There is also the wand of Merlin that still has a lightning core in it.
John is planning to refine an even more powerful weapon that is bound to his soul using all these weapons as raw materials.
It is not a sword but a spear.
He went around the world and studied many mythologies.
He found that most powerful gods or demons of all these mythologies usually use a spear or a staff instead of a sword.
This means that the strongest weapon is a spear but strangely the world thinks that a sword is the strongest weapon.
This means that there is a problem with the perception of the people or there is a problem at the very root that removed the glory of a spear in this world.
He also checked many things and found that no proper spear technique or its information was mentioned in any place of the world.
The more he thought about this the more he felt that there is a big gap in the mythologies and the histories of the world.
There are blank periods.
He was sure that the information in these blank periods is the key to solving those energy centers of huge lotuses that are emitting magic waves.
Also he found that the information is not complete here.
Instead it was scattered into many worlds.
He has to follow the trail to get all the information.
Also he got the key to go on the trail of the magic origin and blank scattered history.
That is the lotus seeds that are planted at the 7 chakras inside his soul.
He has to go to other worlds to get the real information or something to understand the complete thing after filling the missing information.
Other than the Excalibur, he got the Merlin's wand and then he went to collect the sword called Durandal, and a sword called the sword of Damocles….
Also John wanted to find the trident of Neptune, the hammer of Thor…..
But all these powerful weapons have vanished into thin air as if they have never existed in this world.
He did not even find the lightning spear of Greek god Zeus the shield of Athena or other things are not found.
He searched for few months but he did not get any results.
So he gave up and tried to use the available things to refine something.
He used his wand, the wand of Merlin, the swords and other artifacts he found.
Also he used many materials he salvaged from the floating castle to start refining a spear that can change shapes based on his wish.
The spear has double head and it can be broken at the center to turn it into two swords.
At the same time he made many other modifications into this spear and it was still connected to his soul.
It can be said to be a soul connected weapon or a soul bound weapon.
It would follow him from now on just like Goldy.
After this was made John did not have anything else to do in this world other than enjoying his life with his family.
With his current body his life span is more than 200 years long.
So he doesn't have to rush in doing anything.
He can slowly complete all the goals he set.
With that his leisurely life started with endless wealth.
His women gave birth to more children and new women are added as he travelled around the world.
He took his time to integrate the magic into the real world.
It is his attempt to see if the cause of withering of magic lotuses at the chakras of earth is due to lack of belief in magic.
So he directly introduced magic to the real world and let the magical world integrate into the real world.
Chapter 310: The city of Omniversal balance
It is his attempt to see if the cause of withering of magic lotuses at the chakras of earth is due to lack of belief in magic.
So he directly introduced magic to the real world and let the magical world integrate into the real world.
The withering of the lotuses stopped buy the broken channels cannot be reconnected.
It is not like he don't want to do that but his power is not enough to do that.
He can only sigh.
He was called as the person that introduced magic to the muggle world.
The name of Merlin gradually gone down, while his name as the father of magic started to spread throughout the muggle world.
His family spread throughout the world making him connected to all nations.
At the same time his wealth has reached its peak, making him be called the boss of the world and some even called him the first king of the magic revival world.
He became a legend of this world.
With the repaired lotuses at the energy centers the number of people that can learn magic increased.
The wizarding world opposed to this from the start but John directly killed all the people that opposed this and hanged for public display of John's authority.
At the same time in the muggle world all the mad scientists were directly hanged at the capital of the country along with their crimes written with big letters.
He is the person in control but not those countries.
It is like an iron clad rule and revived all those things slowly in 200 years of his life.
He lived the life of a king tasting various dishes, having fun with his women and discovering many things.
All the knowledge was stored in his mind.
After few months after he killed Merlin the system has activated and reconnected to the mother system.
He was given a choice.
"Tring
Host has completely cleared this world and the system would give rewards after leaving this world.
Host would also receive compensation for the inconvenience that was caused by the corruption to the system.
Host would receive extra rewards for saving the system and reconnecting the system to the mother system.
Host would receive extra rewards for all the achievements that he makes in this world.
Host is given two choices below, please make your choice.
Choice-1: leave this world and receive the rewards from the system.
Choice-2: stay in the world and complete the special mission magic revival and world conquest.
Achievements will give host more rewards for changing the world.
..."
John chose the second option.
For this very reason he started to change his plans for this world.
His has children, grand children and even great grand children by the time he completely established himself in this world.
After 120 years his women started to die.
For around 10 years there are funerals for every few days with his wives dying.
Even at that age he is still handsome as always.
He collected many weapons and materials around the world to completely refine a special spear based on his imagination.
It is a double headed spear that can be split in the middle to form two swords with short blades.
There are 5 jewels on both sides with 5 lotus seed cores on both separate blades.
Also the two blades are black and white.
At the central connecting point of the spear there is a lotus locking system with 1000 petals.
This weapon was completely connected to his soul becoming a soul weapon.
After 200 years he finally reached the end of the lifespan of his life.
The world has changed and he sat majestically in a great hall with all of his descendents in the hall.
They came here under his notice and John quickly arranged all the things in the family.
He did not name anyone as his heir instead divided up all of his property based on the preferences and talents of his descendents.
Naturally he doesn't have to invite any world leaders as most of them are his descendents are married to his descendents.
After arranging everything and he had a great meal or the final meal with his descendents, and also resolved all their internal conflicts.
With everything arranged he leaned back on the seat with his eyes close he announced about his death.
A huge soul force appeared and the soul of John left the body of John that died sitting like a king that over see the world.
Along with his soul, Goldy, and his weapon also entered his soul.
The strong blood from his heart and magic were also taken back into his absolute natural heart.
Finally his body became lifeless but still majestic and youthful as ever.
The people below have already expected this.
But they were still shocked and sad by the departure of John.
The world announced his death and everyone took a holiday.
Even in the future he is the man that was called as the first king of magic revival and the boss of the world.
Naturally many people tried to steal his body, his wealth or his weapons and his secrets.
But none succeeded because of strange enchantments.
John's soul slowly floated up out of the earth and entered into a strong space hole entering the space between the spaces.
When he opened his eyes he came to an entirely different place.
It is a city that looked like a weighting balance scales forming an infinity symbol.
One side is dark black and one side is milky white.
Then he received a message from the system.
"Welcome to the city of Omniversal balance."
He was at the center of the city on a square area right at the center of the balancing scales.
Then he got an introduction of the city along with the system.
"Congratulations, you have passed the assessment to enter into the city of Omniversal balance.
Now you can choose your side…."
