Volume 1: Rising to Prominence Chapter 17 Necromantic Magician
The broken parts of the carriage were scattered haphazardly on the ground, and in this mess, several corpses were scattered around.
The word "scattered" is because the corpses are no longer whole, arms, or legs, or even the worst heads, have been removed.
Blood stained the earth, and already vultures followed the smell and began to peck at the corpses, adding to the misery of the scene.
Nexus watched in silence, resisting the urge to vomit.
There is no anomaly around, the killer should have left, otherwise Kerr would not dare to come back, but who was so cruel to kill them in this way?
Looking at the head of the red-haired man on the ground with intense fear and unwillingness, and his eyes were round, he could imagine how desperate he was before he died.
"Wait, this is ······" As soon as his eyes moved, he put his hand on the dead head, closed his eyes and felt it carefully with his mental power.
"That's exactly ······"
Halfway through, Fox withdrew his hand and muttered.
These people had already been killed before they were dismembered, and he probed the other party's corpse and found that the other party's mental power fluctuations had completely dissipated.
It stands to reason that in such a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for the mental fluctuations in the mind to disappear completely, and there will definitely be some residues.
"These people were drained of their souls and died. Kerry's expression became extremely solemn.
The soul is the source of spiritual power, and spiritual power can be said to be an externalization of the soul, an external manifestation.
The soul was directly withdrawn, and there was no process of gradual dissipation of the soul, and naturally there was no residual spiritual power.
In the mage master faction, the rare soul system is specialized in the study of human souls, souls are real, their attacks can directly act on people's souls, and even observable souls.
Like Reiner before, he is a soul magician.
Kerry had a vague guess, and combined with the situation at the scene, he remembered a faction of magicians he knew, a frightening, forbidden faction.
A faction that extends from the soul system, the necromancy.
Both necromancy and soul abilities are soul-related, and both are identical in this regard.
Necromantic magicians can not only cast all kinds of evil spells, but also deprive people of their souls, use their souls to summon all kinds of fierce beasts and demons from hell, and they can even cultivate directly by devouring souls.
Before the Dark Ages, there was a powerful necromantic magician who slaughtered ordinary people and devoured their souls for cultivation, and his strength skyrocketed, supplemented by the demon army summoned with his soul, and finally even wiped out several countries, setting off a catastrophe that swept across the continent.
Countless people died in this disaster, and in the end, the powerhouses of the entire continent united to crusade against him, and the necromantic magician fought against the entire continent with the strength of one person, and was finally outnumbered, and was wiped out.
Since then, necromantic magicians have become synonymous with disaster and fear, even for ordinary people.
After the catastrophe was quelled, the countries of the mainland began to attack the necromantic magicians with unprecedented intensity, most of the necromantic magicians were killed, and only a very few people were able to escape incognito, but they did not dare to show their faces again, and could only survive in the shadows.
As long as it is suspected of being a necromantic magician, they will be arrested and tried, and many of them will even be unjustly killed in this kind of extermination operation, which can be said to be a bit of a rumor.
And now, there are necromantic magicians who dare to come out to act?
Kerry's face was full of puzzlement.
"Is this guy crazy, or is he too confident in himself, or is he having some schemes? Slaughtering in such a place, without even disposing of the corpse, is he not afraid of attracting the Empire's crazy pursuit?"
Necromantic magicians can cultivate by devouring human souls, so their strength increases much faster than ordinary magicians who cultivate normally, but this method also has drawbacks.
Devouring too many souls can easily lead to backlash, and it will affect one's mental state, so most necromantic magicians are crazy people with abnormal mental states.
Not all necromantic magicians have the ability to become necromancy, but every necromantic magician can become a soul-based magician.
Every necromancer chose to give up being a normal soul magician and devote himself to the necromantic faction, and they failed to resist the temptation of powerful evil spells and skyrocketing strength.
The reason why the Necromantic Demon Master, who brought a huge catastrophe to the continent back then, was finally killed, was also due to the reason for absorbing the souls of too many people and causing the backlash.
Fox was going to report back the situation directly, which was not part of his mandate.
Although the necromantic demon master is very hateful, it is better to leave it to the official to have a headache, if his strength can crush the other party, he doesn't mind spending some time to eliminate harm for the people, but in this situation where the other party is not clear about the truth or truth, it is better to be honest.
—
When he returned to his rented villa with Hard, it was already night, and after Kerhard closed it, he began to practice against time.
The next morning, Kox wrote a letter with a brief introduction to the suspected necromantic magician, and then immediately went out and sent the letter to the reserve station of the Akatsuki Legion in Kasol City, as for who will finally solve this matter, it has nothing to do with him.
Then, he stops a little beggar on a street corner and asks him to help him get a message for the Crazy Eyes bandits.
Little beggars like this can be seen everywhere in Grand Han, and in addition to begging, they also sell information and deliver information on a part-time basis, which can be said to have a wide range of businesses.
Fox plans to disguise himself as an ordinary kidnapper and hang Crazy Eye out, as the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, as long as Crazy Eye is dealt with, the rest of the people will be much easier.
The little beggar gave him a strange look: "Sir, I forgive you for not being able to fulfill your request." ”
It's a little strange that the other party actually refused this business?
"Because I can't deliver news to the dead, sir, don't you know that Mad Eye was assassinated last night!"
What the?
Nexus felt like he was completely stunned, and Mad Eye was so dead?
What's the use of trying to catch his son by himself?
"What's going on with the Crazy Eye Thieves?"
The little beggar didn't say anything, and Fox immediately understood, and took out five silver coins and put them in his hand.
The little beggar instantly smiled: "After the death of the Crazy Eye, several core members of the Bandit Group immediately fought for the position of leader, and now the result has not been distinguished, maybe the Crazy Eye Thieves Group will be renamed soon!"
—
Fox walked down the street, thinking about what he should do next.
In other words, his task is to exterminate the Crazy Eye Thieves, if the other party changes his name, will his task be completed·····
Well, it's impossible, and Nex immediately threw this unrealistic idea out of his head.
While Madeye's death was an unexpected surprise to Kers, it was overall good news. After all, now that Mad Eye is dead, everyone is fighting for the position of leader, which is just right for them to lose their strength in the infighting.
However, what Fox is most worried about is the assassin of Crazy Eye, it seems that it is not the same people who are now vying for the position of leader, if they have a way to kill Crazy Eye, wouldn't it be better to kill the other competitors as well?
Thinking of the gang who kidnapped Hader and the necromantic magician, Kerry felt a headache.
I hope it doesn't have anything to do with it·······
