Saul made one final check, confirming that Kismet hadn’t tampered with anything inside, then took out magic crystals and placed them in the energy-providing auxiliary formation.

At the same time, a black, slender vine-like tentacle extended from the back of his neck.

Circling around the auxiliary formation and central formation, it grew and spread bit by bit, enclosing the formation along with both Kismet and Saul inside.

Little Algae drew a circle on the ground, continuing to grow upward, interlacing and climbing, finally forming a black protective cover.

Kismet looked at the starlight seeping through the gaps in the vines overhead, “Are you afraid of someone ambushing us? Or afraid of others seeing your formation?”

Saul had already walked to his position, slightly raising his hands and bringing them around to his chest, “This magical light and shadow is quite obvious, but it’s fast. Having Little Algae conceal our forms is also to buy us some time.”

This time Saul hadn’t established a good relationship with local forces. To prevent outsiders from suddenly appearing and unconsciously disrupting his magical formation, Saul decided to be more cautious.

After Saul finished speaking, the formation runes under his feet lit up one by one, like sparks starting a prairie fire, gradually spreading.

Standing at the other end of the formation, Kismet stared unblinkingly at the changes in the formation below his feet and the magic power circulation above.

This power was too special – he had never seen it before, and didn’t even know how Saul had mastered it.

He had clearly been monitoring Saul’s movements all along, yet the other party seemed to have suddenly learned this magical power in a dream, and wielded it with ease, as if he had mastered this power many years ago.

From the first time he met Saul, Kismet felt this guy was extremely mysterious, like book pages that could never be turned to the end, always having unknown plot points waiting to be revealed.

So even after getting back his soul fragment, Kismet still called Saul master.

The most important reason was that this guy could always arouse his curiosity. He seemed to have an unpredictable fate – until the very last moment, no one could know the answer.

Kismet liked the unknown, because from very, very early on, everything about him had already been arranged by others.

Whether it was being imprisoned in a feather pen, or after escaping and creating pages of Dead Wizard’s Diary around the world, or even welcoming each new owner of the diary and testing their abilities – all of this had been fixed in his body and consciousness very, very long ago.

And all he could do was add a bit of his own malicious humor to this predetermined fate.

Hundreds of years had passed in a flash, each day seeming different yet monotonously the same.

Until in a small manor whose name he couldn’t even remember, Kismet met the diary’s newest owner.

He suddenly discovered this guy seemed somewhat interesting.

“Focus!” Saul noticed Kismet looking down at his feet, seemingly distracted, and quickly shouted.

Kismet lifted his eyelids, revealing a confident smile.

“Don’t worry, my little brother master, I’ll definitely cooperate fully.”

Saul said no more – the formation had officially started.

The next second, a red light shot up from the ground, and after being filtered once by Little Algae, scattered red light rays projected toward the sky.

The five auxiliary formations immediately lit up with the same red glow, though their light columns were somewhat thinner. Five red lights simultaneously rose to the sky, then simultaneously twisted midway, turning toward Kismet.

The magic crystals placed on the magical formation melted rapidly like ice and snow in fire. To ensure the formation’s stability, Saul continuously channeled magic power into the formation.

Saul raised his head, staring at Kismet, the most important character in the center of the formation.

Once all the red light columns converged on him, Saul would immediately mobilize fate power to establish a connection with Kismet, transmit this power to the other four target figures, and simultaneously extract equivalent power from the other four targets to establish it on Kismet.

After confirming that everyone’s destiny force could mutually transmit and feedback to each other, Saul’s complex Symphony of Fate that had taken years to establish would be completely finished.

However, the next second, Saul watched helplessly as the five red light columns directly penetrated through Kismet’s body and fell onto the ground behind him.

As if Kismet wasn’t standing in the formation at all, or as if it simply couldn’t sense any destiny on Kismet.

Unable to find a target for destiny connection, the light columns automatically disappeared after falling into the earth.

Subsequently, the magical formation under Saul’s feet gradually dimmed.

Only the half-melted magic crystals on the ground could tell people what had once occurred. For more chapters visıt 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Little Algae silently withdrew, sensing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere and quickly burrowing back into Saul’s neck.

Kismet looked down at his chest, then looked up at Saul. All the worldly cynicism and frivolous smile on his face had disappeared, looking somewhat bewildered.

“Little brother master, did you… fail in the operation?”

Saul was also somewhat puzzled, “The red light all started normally, which means there were no problems with my magic power operation.”

This was the first time Saul had encountered target binding failure.

Although he said there were no problems, he had already begun circling around the several magical formations to check. He needed to determine which step had encountered conflict.

But after checking around, Saul still hadn’t found where his calculations had gone wrong. Finally, he could only approach Kismet.

At the beginning, Saul had seen a slight bewilderment revealed on Kismet’s face, which had now disappeared.

There was also no cunning smile showing.

This shouldn’t be Kismet playing tricks. The mental fluctuations and emotions the other party had just displayed were surprise and… disappointment.

Someone who can’t be chosen by fate lines? Could Kismet have other secrets?

No matter how much he thought about it, it was useless. Saul walked in front of Kismet, “I need to confirm first – did you resist?”

Kismet slowly shook his head.

For some reason, this serious and earnest Kismet made Saul feel very uncomfortable.

“Then it seems there’s a problem with you. Maybe you’re not compatible with the power of fate.” Saul first sought Kismet’s opinion, “Before trying again, I need to check your physical condition. Is that okay?”

Wizards weren’t the type to give up easily. Experimental failure wasn’t anything unusual. Saul quickly entered the process of retracing experimental steps and error correction.

But for some reason, Kismet raised his hand to block between Saul and himself.

His movements were somewhat stiff, with no expression on his face.

“No need,” he said. “I know what’s going on. So… no need.”

He gave no explanation and turned to leave.

Just after taking his second step, Kismet’s figure disappeared, as if he couldn’t stay there for another moment.

“Brother Saul, he’s so strange,” Penny took the opportunity to run out again. “But seeing this guy show such an expression still makes me very happy! Hahaha…”

Penny laughed heartlessly.

But Saul didn’t feel the refreshing satisfaction of seeing Kismet’s misfortune. After realizing the problem might be with him, the other party’s emotions instantly plummeted, and could even be said to be painful.

Although Kismet had tried his best to hide it, Saul had already figured out his temperament.

The other party was someone connected to the diary, and not as simple as an ordinary black page consciousness body.

Was his inability to become Saul’s fifth target also related to the diary?

Was someone who couldn’t accept fate lines because he…

Had no fate line of his own?
