Chapter 081: Sandru's Last Wish
With the passage of time, Gao Duos soon found that the Heroic Spirit clone in front of him became more and more transparent, and even the undead and soul aura emanating from his body were infinitely weaker.
It was a sign that his power was beginning to dissipate.
Although Gaudus could not see the process of Sandru's transformation of Spider Hime, it was clear that it would inevitably consume most of the power of the Heroic Doppelganger in front of him, and he might even dissipate it.
The thought of this possibility made Gaudus nervous.
Sure enough, just an hour later, Sandru was completely close to transparency. He said a little tiredly:
"It's a pity, Gauldos, that I overestimated my own strength, and that the transformation was only a third of the way through... Well, less than a third. β
"What?" Gaudus immediately felt the urge to vomit blood.
You're the legendary necromancer Sandru, and you've told me what kind of power Spider will gain, and now you're telling me that the transformation is not complete?
If you really have a hard time understanding it, you can think about the feeling of not doing it halfway through the surgery.
As if seeing the depression in Gao Duosi's heart, Sandru said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, the transformation of your pet is just unfinished, it is just a temporary interruption, and it can still be continued in the future." β
Gao Duosi glanced at him and said, "Except for a great person like you, who can continue to transform Spider Ji?" β
Sandru laughed, "You don't have to be upset. First of all, although your pet has not completed the transformation, she has obtained a new form from the infancy, to the growth stage, and then to the maturity stage. β
"Secondly, there is more than one doppelganger left behind in my body, and there are far more doppelgangers than you think. As long as you can find them and convince them, they will continue their transformation of Spider Hime. β
"Finally, Gadoth, you should be confident in yourself, you are a necromancer just like me, why can't you do what I can do?"
"Thisβ" Gaudus was a little embarrassed, and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Didn't you predict my coming?" That being the case, why should I convince those doppelgangers of yours? Won't they help me? β
"Yes. You must know that the real Sandru has an extremely complex personality, so his doppelgangers also inherit a part of his complex personality. For example, I inherited the peace and warmth of the ontology... A little bit of arrogance, and maybe the other Sandru clone you find may inherit the murderous part of the body, and maybe the next clone you find is a pervert with a twisted and distorted personality. β
Looking at Sandru in front of him, Gaudus was speechless. The main body has already crossed over to another plane, and the clone in front of him is still so old and disrespectful, he is still a pervert?
"Was it a surprise?"
Gaudus shook his head, thinking to himself, how could a magic like necromancy, which required both desecration of body and soul, sink down to study it without an extremely twisted and brutal mind?
"Hehe, Gaudos, you see, everyone is limited by worldly prejudices and suppresses their true desires, and I, Sandru, can't do that much."
"I am me, I am Sandru, what do I Sandru do, where can I control other people's opinions? Where do you care about other people's eyes? Hehe, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will let him feel the power of the legendary necromancer! β
Gao Duos couldn't help but admire the man in front of him when he said those shocking words lightly. Indeed, in this world? Each wears a mask and carefully buries his evil side deep inside, while showing his beautiful appearance to the outside.
This is not hypocrisy, but in this world, no one can ignore the feelings of others, so it is true that no one dares to ignore the eyes of the world like Sandru.
It seems that his understanding of this legendary necromancer is still very shallow.
Gaudos laughed and said, "I admit that you are a real person, but even so, you have some scruples. β
Sandru couldn't help but be stunned: "Scruples? What scruples? β
"You just said, 'If anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will let him feel the power of the necromancer!' If you really don't care about other people's eyes, why do you use violence to gag other people's mouths? It seems that even if you are as powerful as you, you can't completely ignore other people's opinions, right? β
When Sandru heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Very well, Gados, you are very honest and brave, and I like a lovely guy like you." Haha, haha, hahaha..."
After laughing, Sandru looked around at the array carvings on the floor and continued, "Also, don't you want to collect the [Formation] and [Awakening] parts of [Praise of the Heroic Spirit]? I've got you covered here. β
As he spoke, Sandru raised his hands flat, and above the palms of his left and right hands, a scroll and a crystal cup were projected, respectively.
"This scroll records all the knowledge of the [Heroic Spirit Array], including the array pattern, the preparation method of the array stock solution, and the types of substrates that can be used... And so on and so forth. β
"And this crystal cup, called [Dome Grail], is the best container for holding the stock solution of the array, which can eliminate all possible stock reaction and ensure that it will never deteriorate."
After dropping these two items, Sandru was exhausted. But he held on, and with the last of his strength, said to Gaurdos:
"Besides, since me, necromancers have been rejected by the world. Now, for now, I'm going to teach you a new magic I've recently researched. Listen up..."
"The name of this magic is: [Soul Disguise]."
β¦
"You've mastered the magic [Soul Disguise]."

β¦
While Sandru was teaching, Gaudus threw himself into it. His voice was so magical that it was hard to forget, and as a result, Gauldos quickly learned the magic.
This is a magic that is very suitable for Gaudus at this stage, and its value outweighs all the necromantic magic he has mastered. You know, since Sandru, the world has regarded necromancers as heretics, enemies, and mortal enemies. In order to hide themselves, necromancers are bound to limit themselves when casting magic.
With [Soul Disguise], he can mask the soul characteristics of the necromantic creatures under his command, making them look more like undead than evil necromancers.
That way, at least Gaudus would be much less restrictive when it came to summoning and commanding necromantic creatures.
"Alright, Gadoth." Sandru's voice seemed to be extremely tired, "I know you'd love to get [Heroic Spirit Awakening] again, but unfortunately, all I can do for you is that. β
Gaudus couldn't help but ask, "So, where can I find the [Awakening] part?" β
"You'll get it soon."
Hearing this, Gaudus couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Sandru... Since he was able to prophesy my coming, then perhaps he would indeed be able to collect all the parts of the Praise of the Heroic Soul soon, as he said.
"Next, the road ahead can only be walked by yourself, so, goodbye..."
Gao Duo looked at Sandru, whose body began to fall apart, as if it would disappear in the next moment, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, great Sandru, if I can, I really want to do something for you..."
The last sentence of Gaudus was just a polite remark, mainly for the sake of the doppelganger's imminent demise, pretending to make him happy before his consciousness faded. After all, a man is dying, and it is also the beauty of an adult to make him happy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Duosi's words fell, in this sealed hall, Sandru's joyful voice instantly echoed:
"It's really touching, Gaudos, you are worthy of being my heir, and I do have one more thing that I need your help with."
Gaudos: "..."
Now Gaudus can be sure that the heroic spirit clone in front of him inherits not the humble and friendly side of Sandru, but the sinister and treacherous side.
"Why, Gauldos, wouldn't you? You know my personality best, and I hate to miss appointments, especially when people break appointments with me. Sandru smiled playfully, as if he would crush Gadoth into powder at the slightest disagreement.
Gaudos was sweating, he really didn't know that this Sandru was so good at it. He resisted the urge to slap his two mouths and say another word about his mother's skin, and said respectfully, "Please speak." β
"Although I have lost interest in unifying the continent of Acacia, it will always be a lifelong regret for me not to complete this matter."
"Gauldos, since you have received my inheritance, you have also inherited my last wish."
"In your lifetime, unify it! Unify all the lands occupied by the ancient Acacia Empire and form a new Acacia Empire that will never come after! You can nurture a family or a faction, or you can raise it yourself... Whatever way you go, unify it! β
