16 Changes in Talent
The experiment of a certain necromantic ancestor proved that using the fresh, fear-filled blood to outline the promotion to the magic array can more obviously gain the recognition and attention of the mysterious necromantic world.
Charles didn't know if this was true or not, but the circular magic circle he had carved on the old wooden floor was noticeably fresher than the one he had made before.
This is normal, as the materials required for the arrangement are entirely manufactured and conveyed on site.
Bright red and brown and black are mixed together, and the floor is soaked in viscous blood, which looks eerie and terrifying under the light of kerosene lamps. The young man crouching on the ground finished the final stroke, and this seemingly small area, but it was very cumbersome and full of various death symbols.
Blood-stained skulls and toe bones were neatly arranged around the perimeter, and the smell of blood filled the wings of his nose, glancing at the edge of the room, the filthy furniture that had been "flown off" into the corners, and the corpses of the gangsters scattered and slumped on them.
One of the corpses was not really dead, but had been turned into a makeshift epileptic by a soul-piercing spell, leaning against the corner with crooked eyes and shivering.
With everything ready and taking a deep breath, Charles opened the door to another world, and not long after stepping inside, he returned with a small, rusty scythe.
Placing the scythe in the sacrificial position in the center of the magic circle, he walked to the corner again, took out the necessary items for the ceremony, and then stood in front of the magic circle with his hands in his heart and began to mumble the ritual incantation.
Clearly, he was ready to sacrifice the Death Knight's scythe in order to advance.
This knife looks tattered and tatters, and it seems that it belongs to the broken knife that the peasant uncle usually used to repair weeds, and when it is in the evil force, it shows a property that can kill all living beings except God.
However, when Charles brought it to A Song of Ice and Fire, it manifested something different.
And when he got the Overworld out of curiosity, what caught his eyes changed again.
……
……
……
Without describing the specific attributes, Charles had no way of knowing what the actual effect of the thing was, but that didn't prevent him from using it to improve himself.
Most of the necromancer's stepping stones are made of various creatures of the corresponding level, or monsters and archaics, and rarely sacrifice with weapons or inanimate targets. But in reality, it's not impossible.
Back in A Song of Ice and Fire, the ancient god that Charles sacrificed was actually just a unique stone. Although it has its own will and mind, it is insignificant in the face of death.
Moreover, the mind of the other god, or the soul, was not sacrificed with the "stone", but it did not affect the connection of the dead space.
So the Charles wasn't worried about sacrificing a scythe at the moment. He was just curious about what would happen when he sacrificed the exclusive weapon of death in another world to that mysterious death space?
Or rather, what will you get?
There was a certain amount of uncertainty in this matter, and Charles was not in a hurry to improve his strength before, so he didn't take it seriously at first.
It's just that now, since it's necessary, it's natural to give it a try.
The sound of sneaky spells ranged from faint to high-pitched, and if it weren't for the noisy bar outside the door, passers-by could easily hear the sound - if he had a choice, Charles wouldn't have chosen to advance here and enter the world of ice and fire.
It's just that the sickle, which constantly changes its "attributes", makes him maintain a certain "caution".
Luckily, or inevitably, there were no accidents along the way, and after successfully summoning the ten terrifying shadows of death, he was immediately pulled into the world of death.
……
At the Necromancer's first level of the Black Iron Throne, Charles was still able to see some unique "scenery" of the dead world, but after arriving at the Throne of Corpses above Black Iron, the surroundings were basically dark.
Except for the white bone seat under the buttocks, and the dark red mist staircase leading to the darkness in front of it, all of this place was black clouds and mist.
There were no accidents, and nothing unusual seemed to happen. But since he can enter this place, it means that Shire's promotion this time is achievable.
Upon appearing, Charles glanced around, then naturally turned his head to look behind the Bone Seat.
There, the original deep pitch black and unanomalous appearance was slowly giving birth to one after another gray-black airflow shaped stairs at this moment, increasing upwards to the deeper depths above the darkness.
It was a ladder formed by the stepping stones, and it was also the path of the Charles.
Although the shape of the air flow was not quite the same as he had once known, Charles did not hesitate to get up from his seat and set out on the path forward.
The feeling of being suddenly attached to his body was born, but Charles, who was already familiar with it, did not experience it much. His steps were firm, and he slowly walked deeper into the darkness.
In the unique death space, there was no sound, no air current, not even any existence, and he could not make footsteps in the spirit state, and walked quietly, and the dark clouds around him gradually seemed to have substance, and it looked a little more grainy.
At the same time, a cold feeling that went straight to the bottom of his heart also slowly hit, which inexplicably made Charles in the spirit state tremble, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Soon after, a chair, also white, came into view.
If the white chair of the Throne of Corpses is a patchwork of bones, then the bones on the Throne of Bones are more complete.
The relatively white and slightly gray bone seat has a towering back, and the ravines on it are regular, obviously made of countless backbones, and as Charles gets closer, it is faintly visible that it seems to be inscribed with various intricate patterns.
The armrests on both sides of the chair are quite hideous, they are two very complete human skeletons, as if crawling out of the sides of the back of the chair, the back is bent, the hands are grasping on the armrests, the head is looking inward, one on each side.
It didn't take much thought for Charles to guess that if he sat on it, the hollow eyes of the two skeletons would have been looking straight at his cheeks.
And so it was, when Charles stepped on the stepping stone and sat down in front of the chair, the first thing he could see was the two skull heads looking up at him on either side of his elbows.
Hollow, silent, eerie.
The cracked mouth seemed to be wailing silently.
It's just that Charles didn't have time to pay more attention to this, because when he sat on it, a special numbness suddenly came out of the chair, and at the same time, all kinds of attached substances on his body also exploded!
On the forehead, a mysterious coolness seems to have been waiting for a long time and "dripping" directly
Under all these feelings, the real eye prompts emerged one after another.
……
……
These two prompts are quite normal, but what comes up next is not quite the same as before. Or rather, this is exactly the unknown change that Charles guessed might be.
Under the paralyzing sensation conveyed by the throne below, he felt as if he had fallen into some kind of soul magic, and his mind began to slow and drowsy, and his senses around him became more and more hazy.
But the hints of the True Eye still came to mind without hindrance.
……
……
……
After the two prompts, there was no movement for a long time, but just as Charles felt as if he was about to fall into a real coma, a cold and penetrating feeling spread throughout his body, making him feel agitated, his back straightened, and he was completely refreshed.
