Professor Black Amber sighed as he listened to Russell finish talking about the source of the power of the dark arts:

"Looks like you've got it right, kid.

"This is also why a dark wizard who practices black magic, even if it is for the sake of justice at the beginning, may end up on the path of no return and be completely engulfed by darkness.

"If you want to unleash black magic, you need to constantly deal with these negative emotions, and brew the corresponding emotions in your heart while casting spells, so that magic can take effect.

"Of course, even so, as a professor of necromancy and life, I still advocate the idea that there is no such thing as good or evil in tools, just how they are used. What do you think of the power you've just gained? ”

Russell got up from the sofa and walked up to the professor, squatted down, and while stroking the professor's smooth and shiny fur, he replied:

"I think it's like a setting for children's literature. Like, unleashing the dark magic requires a strong resentment, and the dark wizard's mind is also dark, so that the protagonist group can legitimately draw strength from light, justice, and love. ”

Duncan, who was playing on his phone at the principal's desk, interjected:

"I think Russell has a point."

Professor Black Amber glared at Duncan, causing the Headmaster to quickly turn his head back.

The black cat coughed lightly twice, and then asked:

"Child, as you know, every time a spellcaster unleashes black magic, he needs to force himself to think about the darkest side of things, and brew negative emotions in his heart.

"So, I'll warn every Necromancy and Life student in the High School to release these dark magic only when necessary, such as in some fierce battles. Usually use less if you can. ”

As he spoke, the black cat's big amber eyes revealed concern:

"Once or twice is fine, but if there are too many times, Russell, can you be sure that your temperament will not change?"

Professor Black Amber knew that these negative emotions were short-lived, and the impact was not too severe, and most students who were able to enter the academy could manage them.

But there are also a lot of fallen dark magicians, not to mention that Russell is burdened with a special prophecy, which makes it difficult for Professor Black Amber to completely put his mind at ease.

"I don't know." Russell gave the standard answer.

"Child, do you mean that you lack confidence in yourself whether you can control the darkness in your heart and choose to use it as a weapon or be swallowed by it?" Professor Black Amber was stunned for a moment, trying to understand Russell's statement with his own logic.

"I mean, I haven't even tried to use black magic, and I don't know how strong the negative emotions are every time I release it, so I can't make an accurate judgment about how harmful it is." Russell said lightly.

"So, Russell, what do you mean?"

"I'm going to go outside and try some dark magic." Russell replied in a tone of course.

……

The bright sunshine of midsummer gave the High Court a golden glow.

Compared to the Junior Academy, the Higher Courtyard is much smaller, but the decoration is extraordinary.

The pavement is paved with beautiful ornate tiles; The golden fountain is beautiful, and the splashing water droplets reflect the light of the sun; Talking bronze sculptures and passing students wave in greeting, asking them for college bronze coins.

Russell held Professor Black Amber in his arms and stepped onto the beautiful, manicured lawn that resembled a private garden.

"I'll recall the knowledge I've just absorbed."

Russell took a deep breath and rubbed his sour temples, recalling the dark arts he had just learned.

The types of dark magic covered in the knowledge scroll of the third year of the Necromantic and Life Department of the Academy cannot, of course, contain all the black magic in the world, but only some of them are close to the concept of Necromancy and Life.

Of course, with the knowledge of dark sorcery provided by the Scroll of Knowledge as a foundation, it would be much easier for Russell to learn other dark arts later on.

One after another, and the extraordinary abilities of the dark sorcery type, flashed through Russell's mind.

The first ability is Death Ray.

Also known as "Death Finger" and "Death Curse", it is a negative energy ray that can directly deprive living beings of life. For a transcendent person or transcendent creature in the first-grade realm, it can be killed with one hit; And if it is an enemy in the second-grade realm, there is also an extremely high probability of killing the opponent directly.

For the enemies of the third-grade realm, because the target's life level has undergone a qualitative change, the success rate of death will drop sharply. But even for a transcendent who is in the middle of the third grade like Russell, there is a more than 20% chance of directly killing him after the ray hits.

Even if it doesn't succeed in triggering the one-hit death effect, the death ray itself is quite good.

The only drawback is that it is very taxing on spiritual energy, and each use consumes about 1/5 of Russell's spiritual energy.

The negative emotions of need are extreme hatred and the desire to destroy the target.

The second ability is exhaustion rays.

This is another ray of negative energy of similar principle, which can deprive the target of its power, leaving the hit creature into both physical and mental exhaustion.

This was also the first time Russell had encountered the dark magic in battle, but at that time he saw the version of the Emerald Cat cast through the Dark Magic Glove, and the power could not be compared to the exhaustion ray cast by a real third-year powerhouse.

The cost of the spell was also staggering, and Russell could only use it seven or eight times when he had plenty of spiritual energy.

The negative emotions needed are dissatisfaction, resentment, depression that has accumulated in the heart, or the desire to make the target give up resistance and obediently tie their hands down.

"It feels like SM lovers can also cast this spell on their partner." Russell couldn't help but think outside the box.

The third ability is to summon undead creatures.

Russell can summon undead creatures just like a student in the Department of Creation and Summoning.

Each type of undead creature corresponds to a specialized summoning spell that requires specialized practice to master. The negative emotions required to summon different undead creatures vary.

The fourth ability is a contract undead creature.

This ability is an enhancement of the psychic person's ability to contract spirits, and Russell can contract undead creatures with entities in addition to supernatural creatures such as zombie kings, death knights, droughts, bone dragons, etc.

The undead creatures of the contract occupy Russell's original three contract slots, and there are currently no vacancies.

The fifth ability is, Random Curse.

Russell can cast a curse on a single target within a few hundred meters, or complete a ranged curse with no distance limit on the target's body components, such as hair or blood.

Alternatively, Russell could cast a curse on an item, and others would be cursed if they manipulated the corresponding item, such as wearing a cursed ring or eating a cursed cookie. At the mid-third year devotional level, you can only maintain the curse on two items at the same time.

The negative emotions that are needed are strong jealousy, or vicious, dark, dirty thoughts.

The effect of the curse is completely random, and may be related to the negative emotions at the moment of cast.

Casting a curse with a definite effect, rather than a random curse, is very difficult and requires specialized study and training, which is equivalent to mastering a new spell.

There are dozens of common random curse types, all of which have been recorded by various dark magicians.

Here are some of the common curses –

Rhetorical curse. Let the words of the cursed be twisted into the opposite meaning.

Pregnancy curse. Suddenly impregnating the cursed will result in a significant decrease in combat effectiveness, but it is said that nothing will actually be born.

Menstrual cramps curse. Let the cursed person have menstrual pain, and like the previous curse, there is no gender restriction on the cursed person.

Curse of the End. At present, it is used for the production of seedless watermelon, and great results have been achieved.

Cursed by disease. Leave the cursed covered in pustules and red spots.

Curse of Wisdom. Let the cursed person have lower intelligence, but will be more convincing in temperament, to the point that it is easier to mislead others.

Curse of Sleep. The typical way to leave the cursed person to sleep is to be kissed by a prince who loves him.

Transfiguration Curse. Turning the cursed into a frog, toad, rabbit, or other incapable creatures, the typical way to get rid of them is to be kissed by a princess who loves them.

"Why are there so many curses that need to be lifted with loving kisses?" Russell browsed the knowledge of dark arts in his mind as he asked Professor Black Amber in front of him.
