Chapter 628: Soul (Sincere Thanks to Silver Alliance Leader Aiai)
"Royana, it can't be heard anymore...... Capture the soul. As the wizard's words fell, strange magic fluctuations echoed in the room, attracting a trace of red and black mist to float out of the devil's corpse, and slowly, the silk full of order and evil aura converged into a one, swirling and gathering in the air, and finally compressed into a strange, red and black gem.
The gem was shaped like a large goose egg, and the hideous face of the Deep Hell Purgatory was faintly contained in this gem, and the image of the devil flashed inside the gem from time to time. The gemstone emitted a hellish shimmering red glow and pulsating heat and fell into Alan's hands. The moment he touched the gem, the ultimate embodiment of order and evil—premeditated and cunning cruelty—had an impact on Allen's spine, but then Allen banished the feeling and gently tossed the gem.
Looking at the demon's body, which began to disintegrate into pieces and decay and turn into dust after losing its soul, Ravenclaw said, "It's a pity that this technique is too slow, and it is too late to harvest too many souls at once, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble to make this staff." ”
Then, the two concocted the same method to imprison a deep hell purgatory again, but this time they did not absorb each other's souls, but only used the bones of the devil's head and hands as they had done with the dementor before. Resembling the moving pieces of flesh next to the pools of blood, the Bad Demons are disgusting, festering masses of flesh with mutilated human bodies and heads, but they have no mind to speak of, and are only used as cannon fodder by any higher rank of demons.
As the devil's bones, crystal balls, and soul gems were carefully and carefully attached to the staff, the staff finally took shape, and then Ravenclaw and Alan slit their palms, allowing their blood to flow from the top to the bottom of the staff—the staff was finally made.
At the very top of the staff, wrapped in the dementor's vertebrae, was the devil's skull, which was attached to the bottom of the staff, gripping a round but sturdy crystal ball - the goose-egg-sized soul gem was set in the middle of the staff, as if to connect the Dementor and the devil's bones.
Ravenclaw lifted it and tossed it, and the staff slowly flew into the pool of blood in the room—the blood pool was bubbling with the demon's blood before it was added, and the staff fell into it, emitting a strange black-red light, and from time to time black shadows jumped rapidly above.
Alan relieved took the bone-wrapped Mithril staff, which was a few heads taller than him, and found that the staff that had been holding a little heavy now barely felt the weight.
This staff does not improve his own spellcasting ability except for helping Eren save some magic and stamina in using spells - in fact, Eren who has changed the way he casts it will hardly have a lack of mana without the help of the staff.
But the devil who is good at playing with souls, and the dementors who are good at sucking souls, as the final home of souls, the power of the underworld allows this staff to absorb a large number of souls in a large area in a short period of time and store them inside the crystal ball at the end.
The inscriptions from the Nether Scrolls make the staff a symbol of the status of the Ancient Grand Arcanist, the result of complex enchantments and endless research - if directly attacked by the staff, the magic effects and magic items on the subject will be dissolved, the spell effects will be terminated, and the permanent magic items will automatically engage in a potential confrontation with the staff, depending on the ability of the person who made them, to determine whether the magic item will be reverted to a normal item and lose its magic effect.
And the power of the last shadow allows this staff to project its own shadow, attacking the enemy from a distance of up to thirty feet as the most basic attack method, but if you are willing to input a little less magic power than the normal spell, the mouth and eyes of the skull of the deep hell purgatory demon carved with runes can directly spit out up to three force field missiles composed of magic and shadow power at one time, although the power is far less than the arcane fire that Eren learned before, but it also has a tracking function, as long as it is not blocked by the shield, you will not be able to hit the target。
Alan intends to use the principles of this type of spell to develop a more basic and weakened version of the magic missile, so that when he returns to his own time, he can teach it to ordinary wizards to solve the hit problem when using other spells - although according to the different magical talents, Alan estimates that most ordinary wizards will not be able to use this kind of spell that sacrifices power and changes the way of movement to kill the enemy in one hit, but this is one of the fastest and best means of protection for them who lack actual combat experience.
"Try it and see how it goes. Ravenclaw raised his eyes and glanced at the wriggling blood clots, "It's just that they're useless, and they're a little tricky to clean up." ”
As the words fell, Ravenclaw's pale arm flicked, and the blood clots had no time to dodge, and the sinners closest to Ravenclaw began to watch in a daze as the remnants of their strange bodies slowly shrank, writhing and wailing in misery and pain, only to stop abruptly after a few seconds—and finally they all shrunk and shriveled down into a mass of jerky that had been drained of all the water.
A little farther away, some of the reformed sinners realized what they were about to face, some continued to beg for forgiveness, some tried to stay away from the casting center and began to curse blindly—while a small number stopped trying to evade in vain, and went through a final prayer of repentance or turned to weeping and shouting the names of their loved ones or loved ones.
And in the end, it turned into a dead silence.
The emotional call of these few sinners on their deathbeds made Eren's eyes flash with hesitation, before making soul gems were all evil creatures such as Dementors and Hellpurgators, which only knew how to do evil, and there was no burden on Allen to destroy them - but thinking of the Ravenclaw outline their crimes before, this slight discomfort was left behind by Allen.
Without further thought, Eren held the staff, and in the flow of magic power, he urged the staff, and only those who had enough research on soul magic and knowledge could see the soul energy floating out of the blood clot, as if it had been pulled, and was sucked in by the wide mouth of the devil's skull at the top of the staff, and then quickly jumped over the dementor's vertebrae, and finally flowed into the crystal ball, and a trace of energy seemed to carry the facial expressions of sinners in the crystal ball, as if they were trying in vain to make a final break free - But it didn't take long for it to fall silent.
