Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Chapter 339 Law of Cause and Effect Skills

Bai Lin hadn't seen Catherine for a month and missed her terribly, but this was clearly not the time for sentimentality. Catherine was now in her full angel form, wielding a longsword, and a dazzling yet not blinding golden light enveloped the two of them. A mysterious soul power linked the two together.

"His gaze can harm the soul; do not stray from my soul's balance!" Catherine instructed.

The feeling just now was truly awful, like a million ants gnawing at his heart, lingering for a long time, leaving Bai Lin with lingering fear. The opponent's attack method was too wicked; how could he dare to underestimate it? Even if you asked him to leave, he wouldn't dare to leave Catherine's side for even a moment.

Although the demon general's gaze had no tangible form, it seemed as if an evil energy body was shooting out from his eyes, but it was neutralized by Catherine's golden light. Catherine's skills came from pure power of order, while "Eyes of Death Perception" was clearly unrelated to order, and not even in the same vein as magic attacks or mental attacks, but rather resembled a causal skill.

Bai Lin still doesn't understand what a soul is. It seems to be everywhere (for example, the ghosts that live in Hogwarts), but it's not what it seems at all.

Although Catherine wielded a two-handed longsword, it was merely a magical artifact, not a weapon for slashing. Furthermore, she was not skilled in martial arts, so the responsibility of launching the attack naturally fell to Bai Lin.

Under Catherine's protection, Bai Lin leaped up again, enduring the excruciating pain, and drew his sword once more.

Logically speaking, Bai Lin's disordered elemental energy belongs to the power of chaos and should naturally repel Catherine's power of order. However, at this moment, a magical chemical effect occurred. The golden power of order and the purplish-black disordered elemental energy seemed to be connected by some indescribable medium. Not only did they not repel each other, but they even presented a wonderful scene of yin and yang complementing each other.

"Phantom Moon Slash!" Bai Lin shouted the name of the move hysterically. The sword energy in his hand was like a blue rainbow emerging from a ravine, cutting through the sky. Although shouting out the move was a bit childish, it had to be said that it had a strange sense of motivation for the person making the move. Sometimes it could even make people forget their pain for a short time and unleash 120% of their strength.

Bai Lin didn't know how much energy he had mobilized, or whether such a large amount of disordered elemental energy would cause his body functions to collapse. However, the feeling of unrestrained and endless flow diluted the pain of his damaged soul, and even gave him a sense of catharsis. This made his sword energy several times stronger than usual, like a beautiful blue peacock spreading its tail feathers. The pressure was so great that the Death Eye Demon General was locked on tightly. This sword was determined to kill him. No matter how thick his armor was, Bai Lin was confident that he could cut him in two.

"Bang!" A deafening explosion.

The magnificent sword energy, as powerful as a mountain, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, and was abruptly blocked about three meters in front of the Dead Eye Demon. Its unparalleled power swept outwards, and almost everything within a radius of nearly twenty meters was pulverized and annihilated into dust by the fragments of the sword energy.

"Impossible!" Bai Lin roared in anger.

He was confident that even Voldemort at his peak would not be able to withstand this sword strike; he would be cut in two and his body would be separated from his body.

Whether it's the spatial barrier that Zobi excels at or Dumbledore's armor, they are ultimately effects of magical elements. When faced with an overwhelming energy impact, magical elements will collapse and become ineffective. At this moment, Deadeye treated the defensive barrier in front of him like Bai Lin used a spatial barrier spell as an umbrella to block raindrops, easily blocking Bai Lin's sword energy. The smooth, mirror-like interface did not even budge in the slightest.

Only then did Bai Lin see that the person who released the defensive barrier was the last demon general. He had appeared beside the Dead Eye Demon General at some point, still in that arrogant posture with his arms crossed, but the bursts of light emanating from his forehead proved that this was his masterpiece.

Attention! Attention! A skill exceeding the upper limit of this world's power system has been discovered. Skill name: AT Field...

Upon seeing the system notification, Bai Lin nearly cursed. The so-called AT Field was a supernatural concept from a classic Japanese anime, also known as the "Absolute Territory Field." In principle, the AT Field is a wall separating one's own consciousness from that of others; it's the material basis for distinguishing oneself from others, also called the "Wall of the Heart." It's entirely a form of idealism, or, like the Eyes of Death Perception, a causal skill.

The concept of causal law skills refers to completely illogical skills that reverse cause and effect. The outcome is predetermined, and then spacetime naturally creates the "cause" that leads to that outcome. This concept is revealed in the classic mythological work "Investiture of the Gods." When Yuanshi Tianzun passed on the Investiture of the Gods list to Jiang Ziya, he had already decided that all those listed would be deified and transformed into countless stars. Logically, dying in battle is the cause, and being deified is the effect. However, the effect was predetermined on the Investiture of the Gods list; the subsequent plot merely elaborates on how those people died in relation to this outcome.

The same theory was applied to the two demon generals before them. The defensive demon general set the outcome as "definitely able to block" and then used the thought of "naturally isolating oneself from others" to form a concrete defensive barrier, rendering Bai Lin's attack ineffective. It was as natural as "you are you, I am me, you cannot become me, so you cannot enter my domain."

The Dead Eye Demon General's skills are similar. First, he sets the outcome of "I can definitely kill you". Then, using the idea in his mind that "as long as your soul is extracted from your body or annihilated, you will naturally die", he forms a physical demon eye. Using the most sensitive "vision" as a medium, he locks onto the target and then reverses "cause and effect".

This miraculous skill appeared so brazenly before his eyes, leaving Bai Lin feeling defeated and even desperate. It was nothing like facing Voldemort, Zemurus, or Fujiwara Ichiura. Although these enemies were strong, Bai Lin felt he still had a fighting chance. But facing this completely unreasonable monster, he was at a loss and even had a feeling that "even if I were ten times stronger, I would still have no chance of winning."

"Watch out! He's attacking again!" Catherine's longsword shone brightly with golden light and blocked Bai Lin's path once more.

The Defensive Demon General slightly stepped aside, while the Dead Eye Demon General stepped forward slightly, his eyes beneath his helmet gleaming with a ghastly green light.

"Oh no, it's not working like before!" Bai Lin exclaimed in alarm.

However, before he could think, Catherine cried out in surprise and suddenly fell heavily to the ground, as if a mountain had fallen from the sky and pressed her down.

Catherine's feet had barely touched the ground when she lost her balance and collapsed to her knees, smashing a large crater into the hard rock.

Attention! The host's soul bond is being attacked beyond the upper limit of this world's power system. Skill name: Eyes of Death Perception (Gravity, current gravity: 2845G...2932G...)
