Chapter 189 Skeleton Reborn
“Teacher, since my red wine such an ability, how about I provide some of them for the magic tower every month?” Said Abel after the thought for a bit.
“All right, Abel, I know you love your friends. Can you give them one bottle a month?” Of course, Wizard Morton wanted his disciples to have the best resources, and Abel’s red wine was perfect.
“No problem, I’ll prepare some when I got back” Abel nodded his head and said with certainty.
“Oh, also, if you have some extra red wine, give a few bottles to both Warren and Eury first. These red wine really are good for ranking up. Said Wizard Morton after a bit of hesitation.
“Teacher, I can give out my portion to the two of them,” Carlos quickly disrupted.
“Teacher, me as well,” Camille followed.
“Don’t worry guys, I can provide the red wine for everyone,” Said Abel waving his hand in front of Camille and Carlos.
The teleportation circles which had been closed up due to the Duchy of Keyen’s attack had been reopened again. Although there was still one wizard who was not found, the teleportation circle could not be closed for too long just for a single low ranking wizard. The investigation department had already doubled down on their investigation, but that low ranking Wizard was still able to vanish from Bakong city. Some unknown forces might be at play.
Morton Magic tower had gained a lot of publicity from this attack. 14 out of the 15 low ranking wizards were all killed by 3 rank 5 and below wizards from Morton Magic tower. This news spread beyond the Duchy of Carmel to the surrounding Duchies, which put a smile on Wizard Morton’s face every day.
Before the night fell, Abel had gone back to his mansion in Triumph boulevard. He had dinner with Loraine and went back to his room with Black Wind.
The first thing Abel did wasn’t igniting the Tome of Town Portal. Instead, he took out a bottle of ‘soul potion’ from his Kong Kong Spirit portal bag. He then asked Black Wind through the soul chain, “Are you sure you wanna drink it?”
Black Wind stared at the ‘soul potion.’ Then replied through the soul chain, “Drink… drink!”
Abel thought since he had drunk the “soul potion” before, Black Wind should be fine. What was the worst thing that could happen? This thing only had benefits.
Black Wind opened its mouth, allowing Abel to pour the ‘soul potion’ in. Suddenly, Black Wind made a yearning noise and fell directly to sleep on the floor.
However as Black Wind was sleeping, Abel noticed some electric arcs popping out form Black Wind’s body from time to time. These electric arcs continued to disappear and appear among the hair of Black Wind.
Could the ‘soul potion’ allow Black Wind to gain a spell?
According to the ‘Morton observation record,’ a normal soul beast did not have the ability to do spells, only an official ranked soul beast can. These official soul beasts almost had the same attacking ability as a wizard. It was simple for them to unleash their spell, as the spell originated from within. They didn’t need to say any spells or draw any patterns. The pattern of their spell existed within their crystal core. Therefore, every single official should beast had a crystal core, unlike normal soul beast. You might not find a single crystal core from those normal ones, even if you kill a hundred of them.
Seeing what was happening to Black Wind, it might be able to rank up to an official soul beast.
Abel did not think about bringing Black Wind to the Rogue encampment. He only quietly sat by its side, carefully looking after it. The electric arcs got less and less, in the end, disappeared completely.
The moment all the electric arcs disappeared. Black wind opened its eyes. He looked and Abel and gently leaned against his side.
Abel asked Black Wind through the soul chain, “Did you grasp any spells?”
“No, I didn’t grasp any!” Black Wind replied through the soul chain.
Abel was shocked. Black Wind had gotten smarter; his sentences were a lot more well structured now. It seemed like he still needed more ‘soul potion’ if he had enough. Black Wind might not only be able to grasp a spell, but also get a lot smarter.
Not only Black Wind, but White Cloud would also get more powerful if it had taken the ‘soul potion.’ Abel had always felt like he had done too little for White Cloud. It was impossible to use the ‘mount enhancement spell’ on it since it was so huge. But now, he finally found a rank increasing potion that was suitable for it to use. Therefore, Abel would need a lot more ‘soul potions.’
Although it was already midnight, Abel did not waste any time. There was still enough time for him to go into the Rogue encampment to kill for a few days.
In the next 10 days, Abel spent his day etching rune signs, while practicing multitasking with its ‘frozen armor.’ At night, he would go into the Dark Word to kill.
Ever since Abel had woken up from his flash of realization through the ‘soul potion,’ it took him 8 more bottles of ‘soul potion’ until he could finally revert the ‘skeleton summon’ spell to its original version. All the ‘soul potion’ he got these days from whipping clean those infernal creatures in Blood Moor was in his stomach. Other than 4 bottles, his power of the will had expended to 27, while his mana had also reached 270.
After 8 realizations, The ‘skeleton summon’ spell had become a new spell’ skeleton reborn.’ It stripped out all the torture and pain the owner of the skeleton’s body needed to go through. He only preserved the part where the skeleton was able to summon from a dead body. As long as that skeleton still had life in them, it could be summoned.
Abel had simulated this ‘skeleton reborn’ spell many times during his realization session. He realized that this spell was different from any other spells he had learned so far. The skeleton reborn’ spell used his mana to draw a magic pattern. Then it could control the death qi to unleash the spell. However, all the other spells he had learned before used substances to unleash the spell. It seemed like these were completely different systems. Maybe that was why it had taken him 8 bottles of ‘soul potion’ to achieve this low ranking ‘skeleton reborn’
spell.
“Black Wind, let’s go!” Said Abel to Black Wind, who was resting at the side.
As soon as Black Wind heard a command from its owner, It knew it could fight again. It immediately stood up with enthusiastically and rushed to the side of its owner and lowered its body, bagging its owner to get on.
Black Wind speeded out of the Rogue encampment with Abel on its back and entered Blood Moor. Blood Moor was no longer filled with inferno creatures like before. After these days of mass killing and clean up, the inferno creatures could no longer be seen anywhere in the patches of land around the Rogue Encampment.
After around an hour of charging, Abel had arrived on the place where he had cleaned up those inferno creatures last time. If he just continues going forward a bit more, he would arrive at the place where those inferno creatures had formed.
A single zombie had attracted the attention of Abel. In a flick of his finger, a ‘firebolt’ flew out. The zombie was directly struck into flame and fell on the ground, but it didn’t die immediately.
Abel couldn’t help but shake its head. His low ranking spells were still too weak in the Dark World. He followed up with another ‘fireball’ to finish off the zombie. After he saw its soul fly towards his Horadric cube, he began mumbling the simplified spell ‘skeleton reborn’.
A black beam of light suddenly shot out from the burnt body of the zombie. The surrounding spooky death qi began to gather around the dead body. At that time, Abel also felt his body being affected by the death qi. There was too much death qi in the Air World; a lot more than he had expected.
Abel felt his whole body getting cold, seemed like the death qi was eating at his body. He thought of that deity of orcs’ dead body after it was surrounded by a magic robe by many years. At first, he thought that worgen was born this ugly, but now he knew the reason.
Dead air could consume the body of a wizard. This harmonized their body with the death qi, which turns them into a ghost-like zombie.
A horrific chill ran down his spine. If Abel knew this would happen to him by using the ‘skeleton Reborn’ spell, he would not even try to practice it.
As Abel was regretting this horrible mistake, his golden combat qi had an effect. It ignited itself all of a sudden and filled his body with golden light. It began to ablate the death qi, which gave out sounds of something screaming
Under the influence of the death qi, the dead body on the ground began to vibrate. Suddenly “bang!” The flesh flew out from the body, leaving only the skeleton.
Click click* under the clicking sound of the joints, skeletons could hardly drag itself up from the ground. This was skeleton without weapons, so Abel felt like he could just heat it up with a single hand. It was too weak.
