Chapter 816 Studying The Portal Magic Formation

Lawrend didn\'t know where to start to get answers to his questions. The more he learned about the demon world, the more he realized that it was more complicated than before.

Not to mention, there was also the Altro Continent that appeared after the genocide. The mysteries he wanted answers to were too many and answers were too scarce to find.

"Can I study this magic formation?" Lawrend asked.

His understanding of magic formation was quite high, but he wasn\'t confident that he could decipher the function of this one. He would try just because he wanted to see if he was capable of deciphering it.

Sanaka stopped and stared at Lawrend intently. She wondered if this was his true intention all along. It was a coveted technology, after all.

"What do we get in return?" Sanaka asked.

She was worried that he would take advantage of them. None of the Heaven Demons were proficient enough in magic formations. And those that could were too weak to study the magic formation laid out here.

"I will tell you how the whole magic formation worked," Lawrend replied.

He could understand her concerns. If he was in the same shoes, he would do the same.

"A soul contract with me. You can\'t try to kill me or do anything that will lead to my death until you honestly tell me how the magic formation worked," Sanaka solemnly said.

It was fairly obvious that she didn\'t trust Lawrend yet. She was too wary of him. She didn\'t want him to find a way to kill her to end the soul contract.

Something like ending their truce and then killing her after finding out the secret of the magic formation. It was a possibility that she had to safeguard herself against.

"Sure."

Lawrend didn\'t care if he made a soul contract with her or not. He wasn\'t even confident that he would understand anything in the magic formation. His guarantee was that he would teach her everything that he would learn from the magic formation.

The two performed the soul contract in a matter of several minutes. The Earth Demon standing there was shocked as she watched the soul of two powerful beings appear and share parts of their soul.

The scene quickly died down, but the Earth Demon felt like she was blessed with something. Her heart firmed up, and her goal to become a Heaven Demon grew clearer in her mind.

"I trust that you won\'t break it. If you do, the whole Demon World will lose its connection to the Human World. As part of the soul contract, you will fix it until you die," Sanaka warned.

She needed to make sure that he understood this. Safety and carefulness were a must here. The significance of the portals was too much to be explained in a simple manner.

"Don\'t worry. I\'m not blinded by confidence," Lawrend replied to reassure her.

Sanaka was still skeptical about it, but since she already allowed it, she couldn\'t exactly stop him without any reason. Otherwise, she would seem like a crazy person.

Lawrend departed from the control center of the magic formation and landed before the giant circle that contained the giant portal. He crossed his legs on the ground and closed his eyes.

The powerful waves of mana from the thousands of demons pushing back the angels rippled past his body. It was a mixture of darkness mana, light mana, and some other forms of mana.

The mana waves didn\'t stop Lawrend\'s soul from leaving his body.

Sanaka kept her watch from afar. She was already regretting not asking the others for their opinion. She didn\'t want to become responsible when things go wrong.

Her eyes widened like saucers when she saw Lawrend\'s soul leave his body freely. She instantly remembered what Juju did and realized where she got the idea from.

"Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!"

Sanaka almost lost her mind right there and then. She didn\'t know what Lawrend was trying to do, but she was sure that it put his soul at risk!

Lawrend\'s soul body landed beside the giant pulsing gorge that was filled with colorful mana. He could a powerful suction force trying to pull his soul in.

This type of carving for a magic formation was too big to work with normal methods. Lawrend flew along it with his soul body and used his elemental eyes to find traces of the way it worked.

These traces were very faint and hard to detect as the magic formation was running at full power. If Lawrend ventured too close, even his powerful soul might be taken into the core of the magic formation and used to power it.

That possibility made Lawrend ultra careful. He used his powerful soul to sense minute changes as mana flowed through it.

He spent a long time. It was not as simple as he thought.

The magic formation changed slightly for every moment that passed. It was subtle, but it made it impossible for Lawrend to decypher the underlying mechanism on which it functioned on.

Two weeks went by like nothing. The number of angels trying to enter the demon world never changed.

The demons never killed them when they tried to enter. Instead, they were just sent back to the human world.

This resulted in a never-ending rush of angels trying to enter.

As for Lawrend\'s results, he found nothing. He only learned that the creator or creators of this magic formation put in a concealing function in the magic formation that hid its functions from outside.

But still, Lawrend wasn\'t willing to give up that easily. He ignored the large gorge flowing with mana in the meantime and focused on the small runes stretching outwards like the roots of a tree.

His soul body wandered away from his physical body. Many demons had already noticed him, and they were all astonished to realize that he was floating around outside of his soul.

What was crazier was that his soul could pass as a physical body if they didn\'t see two Lawrends near each other.
