Chapter 6: The Secret Art of the White Bone Emperor
Layton looked around nervously, and there was no one around, only the shallow whistling of the gloomy wind.
"Who's pretending to be a ghost there?" Layton shouted boldly, but received no reply.
The entire dungeon hall seemed a little silent and deserted, and the atmosphere began to become eerie, and Layton felt cold behind him.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my head. Then a picture was revealed, and the broken black stone tablet was silently in his mind. It has been tightly bound by a thick starry sky chain, and the cold chain tentacles extend to the fiery heart. The difference is that the dead air around the black stone monument at this time is much weaker.
Layton was shocked to find that there was an evil and huge black soul fire burning on the black stone tablet.
"What a perfect body. "There was a voice from that soul fire.
Layton suddenly felt that something was wrong, and just as he wanted to withdraw his consciousness, the black soul fire hit him like a meteor.
At this moment, the cold starry sky chain was windless, tightly enveloping the soul fire, making it firmly trapped in the black stone tablet. But there was still a fragment of soul fire leaking out, and in an instant, it flooded Layton's consciousness.
As if struck by lightning, Leighton stood in the ruins of the Dungeon's main hall for a full day and a night. In his spiritual world, he is facing a thrilling soul snatch.
The clash between souls is the most mysterious and unpredictable, extremely dangerous. The winner will have this body, and the loser will have his soul scattered and disappear into the world.
The invading soul fragments were like a sharp knife, constantly slashing at Layton's soul. Layton hadn't even learned magic before, let alone these mysterious soul secrets. Although Leighton's soul is intact, he will not use it to fight back effectively.
Just as Leighton's soul was cut to pieces and was about to collapse, the Holy Dragon's Heart at the heart shook slightly, and then became a little darker. A strong burst of life force erupted, repairing Layton's soul while enveloping the fragmented soul fire, melting it into pure soul energy and transporting it into Layton's soul.
Gradually, Layton's eyes regained their brightness. Lei Ta, who recovered, patted his chest and said secretly: "It was so dangerous just now, but fortunately, I have the heart of the Holy Dragon, which saved my life again." ”
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Layton was excited.
It turned out that the soul fragments were not only converted into some absorbable soul energy, but also contained a small number of memories of the White Bone Emperor's lifetime.
From memory, it was known that this black stone tablet turned out to be the treasure of the undead world, the Undead Tablet. The remnant soul in the Monument of the Dead is the last master who has fallen, the White Bone Emperor.
Just now, the White Bone Emperor vainly wanted to reincarnate his soul, but he didn't expect to fall short, but instead he fulfilled Layton.
The Undead Realm is different from the Holy Dragon Continent in that it is a world full of undead creatures such as skeletons, rotting corpses, and ghosts.
Those soul fragment memories contained the secret techniques of undead magic on the White Bone Emperor, but due to the incomplete memory, only three of them could be obtained, namely the Dark Meditation Technique, the Summoning Contract Technique, and the Stygian Fire Bomb.
Layton decides to start with Dark Meditation, which is the foundation of a mage and the main way to increase the strength of his soul. And the use of all magic depends on the strength of the soul, and this common sense is still clear.
It's just that I don't know if the dark meditation technique cultivated by the undead will work for humans, and Layton is still a little drumming in his heart. Later, when I thought about it, I was now half an undead body, so I shouldn't have much of a problem.
Gaze recalled the dark meditation technique in the memory fragment, and reconfirmed that it was correct.
Begin to imitate the recitation of the White Bone Emperor in his memory, and have the same kind of practice, perceiving the dark elements wandering between heaven and earth, and establishing a connection with them.
Different from the cultivation of word of mouth, as long as Leighton integrates his mind into the memory fragments, the intensity of each application can be clearly felt, as if it is instinct.
Soon, referring to the memory of the White Bone Emperor, Layton entered into meditation, and after several failures, slowly groped his way out.
"Ding-" sounded.
Leighton successfully completed a dark meditation process,
His soul had undergone a qualitative change, turning into a hazy ball of mist, and he could more and more clearly feel the dark elements active in the heavens and the earth.
The next is the enslavement contract, like the dark meditation technique, every working magic details such as the amount of magic used, the flow route, how to condense the magic, etc., have long been known by heart, including some difficult spells, Layton learned in a few clicks, all that is lacking is more practice to achieve proficiency.
Servitude contract is one of the soul contracts. In short, defeat the undead creature and subjugate it, and sign a contract of enslavement for your own use. After signing the contract, the undead slave will always be loyal to the master, and with the death of the master, the slave will also die, which is also the most cruel one.
In the life of the White Bone Emperor, it was by relying on the slavery contract that he obtained one powerful skeleton slave after another, creating the powerful City of Bones.
Being able to use the power of the soul to construct a complete contract sigil is considered a success.
Understanding and doing are two different things. Leighton knew all the techniques and knew how to do it, but his control of soul power was still not subtle.
The Soul Construction Contract Sigil, although it looks simple, is very strict than the previous two accuracy requirements, regardless of the angle, accuracy, strength and soul power. It takes all the attention of the whole body, but the slightest flaw means the failure of the contract sigil.
In this way, Leighton quickly threw himself into building the contract sigil. Failure after failure, attempt after attempt, defeat after defeat.
I don't know how many times my soul power has been exhausted throughout the day, and every time I get up and start meditating to restore my soul power.
In this process of continuous consumption and continuous meditation, he found that he became more and more proficient in mastering the soul power, and finally he could send and receive it freely.
In the end, Leighton overcame various difficulties and successfully used his soul power to construct a contract sigil, and he was overjoyed.
In the end, there is the last magic fire bullet left, and the only offensive magic. Layton was very smart, and after repeated practice, he succeeded in mastering it.
Layton called out loudly, "Wraifire Bomb." ”
The dark elements around him surged wildly, condensing into a small cloud of dark fire in his right palm.
The dark green fire reflected on Layton's face, and in the gloomy dungeon hall, it looked extremely dark and eerie.
Magic represents the most powerful force in the Holy Dragon Continent. Magic has always been out of reach for Layton. Chopping wood for a living, he simply did not have the financial ability to go to the magic academy, which was a privilege only for the nobles in the city.
Now the powerful power of magic is tightly held in his hands.
This made Layton excited.
Layton knew that the mist-like flame in front of him was far from meeting the requirements, and it should be a burning spherical flame bomb to be exact, indicating that he was far from reaching it.
It doesn't matter, if it doesn't work out once, do it again. If you don't succeed again and again, then continue to work hard. Leighton is like this, he will not give up lightly when he believes in things, and he will do it to the end.
Layton felt that the strength might not be enough, and the summoned Hellfire was many times smaller than the Immortal Fire Bomb of the White Bone Emperor, so he simply increased the intensity.
As a result, there was a "Teng" sound.
The flame-like flame in Layton's right hand instantly turned into a raging fire.
After a period of scramble, Layton quickly stopped the soul control, but he didn't expect that the out-of-control fire was not extinguished, and it was still burning in his hand.
Oops! Layton was annoyed, patronizing to learn how to cast the Hellfire Bomb, but he didn't know how to extinguish it. The White Bone Emperor's memories were too fragmentary, and he didn't mention it.
There are no apprentices on the path of magic who are taught by their mentors, so they can only rely on their own continuous exploration.
Layton's left hand tried to lightly touch the burning fire, but a small cluster of fire ignited again in his left hand, and the palm of his hand did not feel discomfort. I tried to blow it, but it didn't go out.
He didn't know how the magic of the Dark Fire Bomb, made of dark elements, could be blown out with one breath.
Fortunately, Leighton's physical strength has been tempered by the undead monument and the holy dragon's heart, and it has reached the third-order defense level, and it is still difficult for the first-order Hellfire Bomb to hurt him.
