Russell stepped over the broken gargoyles, dragged the half-human, half-snake corpse of Medusa into the depths of the cavern.

"Starfire, you're done with the water, aren't you?

"This Medusa isn't very strong, and she can't pose much of a threat without using a petrified gaze.

"The plan we made was still too conservative. We could have gone up together, killed Medusa and all the gargoyles, and swaggered in.

"This chain blasting staff is really useful, but I already felt that the staff was overheating when I used it just now, and now there are some cracks in the handle of the staff that may need to be repaired."

Russell, who dragged Medusa's corpse, came to the already empty waterhole, next to the Spark who had just stood up.

Just the moment he saw the spark, Russell's heart felt a sense of security and the feeling that he could trust the other party.

The girl who was as red as fire turned around, and her sassy and heroic face was slightly haggard:

"Well, Russell, you've worked hard.

"I've taken all of the Weeping Fountains, and now we're done.

"If I knew that I wasn't in a hurry, I would have waited for Ling's contract spirit to come back, and let them, who are not living and have no flesh and blood, help fetch water."

Speaking of this, Xinghuo sighed with a little regret, leaned against the wall of the stone wall, and gently covered his forehead.

"Are you alright?" Russell asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I just came into contact with the Fountain of Crying, and it's a little uncomfortable. Anyway, now that all the danger has been lifted, let me rest and take a break. ”

Starfire said as she pointed to the corpse of Medusa that Russell was dragging with him.

The eyes of this half-human, half-snake monster have been wrapped in a layer of cloth by Russell. The "Petrified Gaze" effect will continue for a while after Medusa's death, so it is important to prevent accidents from happening in this way.

"A high-level transcendent creature who has just died, is still of the intelligent kind, and has been transformed by the contamination of the Weeping Fountain.

"The soul and corpse of this monster should be of great value to you Necromancy and Life students."

Russell nodded slightly:

"Yes. I can use Medusa's soul to create new contract spirits. ”

The Book of Shadows records a ritual called "Evoking the Necromancy".

It was the ritual that Nocturne transformed the wind chimes from a wandering ghost into a truly supernatural ghost.

This ritual is very powerful, and if it weren't for the Shadow Book, which "automatically allows the bearer to master the ritual", it would cost a lot of house coins just to exchange ritual knowledge from the school, not counting the expensive materials that would be incurred in practicing this complex ritual.

After knowing the witchcraft idea of this ritual, Russell knew-

Normally, if you want to create undead creatures such as ghosts and evil spirits, you must perform a ritual within a short period of time after the death of the deceased to prevent too much spiritual loss in the spirit body.

At the beginning, Nocturne was able to create female ghost wind chimes, it seems that because the wind chime spirit body is relatively special, and some high-level forces are involved in death, which is not the norm.

"Then you should hurry up and deal with the dead Medusa."

Xinghuo, who leaned against the stone wall and rested on his forehead, said.

Russell didn't question it, took out the pure white candles needed for the ritual from his dimensional pocket, placed the three candles in three different directions of Medusa, and lit them one after another. He took out another clay pot filled with the grave's dirt and placed it in the middle.

Suddenly, Russell's movements stalled slightly, and he turned his head and asked Xinghuo, "You're not a student of Necromancy and Life. How do you know I'm in a hurry? ”

"I have a friend in the Department of Necronomion and Life, he told me." Starfire replied without hesitation.

Sounds reasonable, without any problems.

Russell nodded slightly, then took out a small bottle of essential oil from his waist bag and dripped it on the flame of the three pure white candles in turn.

The flickering yellow candle flame suddenly turned a miserable green, filling the entire cave with an eerie aura.

Seeing the essential oil the size of a fingernail, most of the bottles were missing at once, and Russell was also a little distressed.

Dead Soul Oil.

This essential oil is an important ritual ingredient and is generally refined by students of higher education institutions. If you buy it directly from the school, a small bottle will cost more than a dozen college gold coins.

Fortunately, Russell himself was proficient in herbology and potion refining, and after he was promoted to the half-step third-grade level, he relied on his alchemy ability to improve a notch, and it took several weeks to refine the essential oil himself.

This made Russell feel more and more that there is indeed an inheritance and correlation between the core abilities of the necromancer and the various grades of the life department.

Thinking of this, Russell looked forward to becoming a top powerhouse in the third and even fourth years, and wondered what kind of connection there was between the professional core courses in the senior year and the spiritism and herbalism in the first and second years.

As the destined protagonist, Russell even believes that sooner or later he will set foot in that mythical realm - the fifth grade level.

Since mastering supernatural powers, he has many things he wants to achieve

About parents, about secrecy, about the whole otherworld, about the present and future of humanity.

Russell knew that he would encounter many obstacles and threats, and only when he truly stood at the pinnacle of the entire supernatural realm could the realization of his dream have the power of reality to rely on.

Every time he thought of this, Russell had a lot of desire for a higher level of extraordinary power.

Russell then took out several simple ritual materials and arranged the scenes needed for the ceremony, and then found that an important material was missing.

"The materials required to convert the Medusa spirit body are relatively advanced, and the ordinary resentful spirit dust I brought is probably not applicable. If only he had brought the dust of the ancient wraiths. ”

Ancient wraiths are terrifying spirits that have been born in ancient times and have existed for more than 65 million years, and have gained extraordinary power due to a great calamity. There has been a lot of debate in the academic community about how the ancient spirits came about, but in Russell's opinion, it may have something to do with the catastrophe that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

"I've brought the dust of the Ancient Wraith, so I'll give it to you. This time, I took the spring water from the Spring of Weeping, thanks to your help. ”

Starfire, leaning against the wall, said suddenly, pulling out a small vial of gray dust from the pouch on his body.

Why do you, a student of the Creation and Summoning Department, carry high-grade necromantic materials with you? Russell, who took the small glass bottle, just wanted to ask, but heard Xinghuo say:

"I'm a supernatural craftsman who carries a lot of important creation materials with me, covering many different realms."

Quite a reasonable explanation.

Russell gently unscrewed the cap of the small glass bottle, and poured a little dust into the miserable green candle flame of the three pure white candles in turn, and the gloomy green candle flame suddenly became larger, so that the surrounding environment was covered with a strange, gloomy, and terrifying atmosphere.

With all the arrangements done, Russell turned his back to the spark and chanted the ritual incantation, dancing around the three candles and the corpse of Medusa in the middle.

Seeing Russell, who was dancing madly next to the corpse with his back to him most of the time, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Xinghuo's mouth.

He looked like he was completely immersed in the ritual, and spirits and spirits had long since been integrated into the magical ritual.

"If you are attacked or the ritual is interrupted in this state, you will definitely be counterattacked.

"From beginning to end, he really didn't find anything......"

In the process of dancing, Russell reached into his waist bag with his hands in one or two dancing postures and touched two precious charms.

Transfiguration Charm.

Spell Spell Charm.

These two third-grade level charms were originally given to Russell by the school as an undercover reward to deal with the Chaos Red Order, but they were not used in last year's decisive battle and have been kept until now.

……

In the dense forest, the sleeping demon and the wind chimes flying in the direction of the cave suddenly stopped, and seemed to hear some kind of sound.

"Quick, Wind Chime, let's stop flying, just teleport back."

The pale and hazy Sleeping Demon pulled out the teleportation charm that Starfire had given them earlier, and poured soul power into it.

"What happened to Russell? In such a hurry, let's go back immediately. Wind Chimes, who have always been grinning, are also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Thank you very much to my friends who have been helping me correct my typos!!!!!!
