Chapter 2: Skeletons are painless
The phosphorus fire in the eyes of the Warhammer Skeleton Soldier burned quietly, and Lou Rui looked at him.
After two minutes of silence, Lou Rui silently stretched out his hand.
The Warhammer Skeleton placed the hammer in his master's palm.
Lou Rui held the bone hammer and felt the weight and texture
Then with lightning speed, the hammer fell!
Syllable!
Under the bone hammer, the white head of the little skeleton was cracked open like an eggshell, the phosphorus fire in the eye socket disappeared, and the skeleton was torn apart.
The bones were scattered all over the ground, and Lou Rui muttered silently:
"Necromantic creatures don't feel pain, and low-level necromantic creatures don't have sapience, and they're all necromancy, so I'm not killing ....."
After chattering, Lou Rui began to sense the changes in himself.
[Trigger Talent: Ash Residual Power, Absorb the Little Skeleton Soldier's Residual Power....]
[Gain basic attribute bonuses: Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1, Constitution +0.1]
"Did you only inherit a tenth of your base attributes? And there is no spiritual attribute enhancement? ”
Lou Rui sensed the change in his state, and indeed a faint force entered his body, like a warm current, making his body more vigorous, and his physical strength was more abundant.
However, the increase is not much, and there is no sense of rapid growth.
"But my talent seems to have no limit, can I smash another skeleton soldier and absorb the power again?"
Lou Rui looked at the small warhammer skeleton that had fallen apart.
After being destroyed and the talent drained its power, the skeleton's remains did not disappear.
"Try again!" Lou Rui thought to himself.
He closed his eyes and tried to activate his ability to sense the necromantic plane.
It's a gift, an instinct like an arm,
His will seemed to have crossed the barrier of strange space, and under the guidance of a special sense, he arrived at an icy, deadly and silent existence that was difficult to describe with the five senses.
This is the necromantic plane that Lou Rui sensed
It is difficult to describe this necromantic plane in words, which is filled with a sea of necromantic power.
It was as if he had entered a "vault", but due to his limited strength, he could only take a small number of "gold bricks" at a time.
It's like taking a little bit of insignificant water out of the sea with both hands.
After getting the necromantic power he needed, Lou Rui's heart moved, and his consciousness returned to the normal world with the necromantic power.
"The process of summoning the power of the necromantic plane is a bit like a porter."
Lou Rui commented, and at the same time, he also obviously felt that his physical strength and mental strength had decreased.
But Lou Rui may have more mental strength, so the weakness of his body is more obvious, and he is tired as if he has just finished twenty kilometers, and he has a kind of weakness that his body has been hollowed out.
He gasped for breath, his eyelids fighting up and down, resisting the urge to faint.
And visible to the naked eye, white but small bones began to emerge in the void.
The bones were automatically arranged and combined, and soon another small skeleton soldier the size of a palm, with a three-headed body, was born.
This is the manifestation of necromantic power.
As soon as the new little skeleton soldier appeared, it landed on the skeleton of the senior.
The difference from Warhammer's predecessor is that the weapon held by the second skeleton is a shield sword, and the phosphorus fire in its eye sockets seems to be a little brighter.
Lou Rui looked at the No. 2 little skeleton and realized in his heart:
"Summoning these little skeletons, I only pay the price of my own physical strength, as long as I wait for my physical strength to recover enough, I can make the next summon."
Summoning small skeletons is also a physical task, consuming both physical and mental energy.
It's just that because Lou Rui's spiritual attribute is greater than his physical attribute, the number of summons is linked to Lou Rui's upper limit of physical fitness.
"And if you want to improve your physical fitness, in addition to exercising, that is, you can constantly absorb the power of the damaged summon through the [Ash Residual Power] talent..."
Lou Rui held the white bone hammer in his right hand, and then stretched out his left hand towards the second little skeleton.
Then, at the request of his master, Little Skeleton Two handed over his shield sword.
Smack——!
The bone hammer fell, and the skeleton of the second little skeleton and the corpse of the predecessor were mixed together, and the two phosphorus flames were extinguished on the broken skull's head.
[Trigger Talent: Ash Residual Power, Absorb the Little Skeleton Soldier's Residual Power....]
[Gain basic attribute bonuses: Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1, Constitution +0.1]
【Cumulative Absorption: Little Skeleton Soldier x2】
"Sure enough, there is no upper limit, and the talent can be successfully triggered the second time! In other words, I can always use this talent to stack my own attributes and become the ultimate creature beyond the limits of human beings!? ”
Lou Rui held the bone hammer tightly, not only did the increase in basic attributes make him feel stronger, but also after absorbing some of the power of the damaged summons, his physical strength has recovered a little, and the fatigue of wanting to faint has also been reduced a lot.
Lou Rui was excited, he had a little confidence to face this world full of dangers.
Raising his hand and rubbing his eyebrows, he suppressed his excitement and said in his heart:
"Don't worry, recover your strength first, and then perform the third summon."
Putting down the bone hammer, and then cleaning up the remains of the two little skeletons at will, Lou Rui lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in less than half a minute.
.....
When he opened his eyes again, Lou Rui was woken up by the sound of a phone.
Touching his mobile phone, Lou Rui was sleepy-eyed and saw a series of unfamiliar numbers.
Subconsciously dialed in and asked:
"Who?"
"Is Lou Rui here, I am his homeroom teacher, Wang Yanshan, what is he doing now, why can't he come to the school for freshman registration?"
A serious voice from a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.
Teacher? School? New student registration?
The day after completing the awakening, the students had to go to the school to register as a freshman to learn about the most basic knowledge of the practitioner and the plan for future spiritual study.
Arrived at class before eight a.m., but now ....
Lou Rui glanced at the time:
S$55, 31 August, 10:23
If it's a high school student, he was called by the head teacher in a row, and he is already dead at the moment.
But Lou Rui was a college student before he crossed over, and he had escaped from the water class more than once, so he naturally had no fear.
He calmly replied:
"I'm Lou Rui, I'm sorry, I was too excited last night, I rested too late, and I didn't get up this morning....."
"Lou Rui, you...."
On the other side of the phone, he was about to have a seizure, but the head teacher seemed to suddenly think of something, was silent for a moment, and then said in a calm tone:
"If you are alone at home, you should pay attention, if you wake up now, go to school as soon as possible, the second class of the first year of high school, I am already explaining some basic knowledge of cultivators and the plan for practicing in school, these are very important."
“.... Oh, I'm coming. Lou Rui said and hung up the phone.
Rubbing his eyes, it seemed that he hadn't rested enough, his physical strength had not fully recovered now, and it was not enough to summon the little skeleton for the third time.
And the explanations in the head teacher's mouth seem to be really important.
Lou Rui's understanding of cultivators only comes from some social common sense, how cultivators practice to become stronger, how to use their own strength, and what resources they need, he is also confused, and he really needs to go to school.
After quickly washing up, changing into a set of clothes, carrying a satchel, and taking a bottle of milk and a pack of quick sandwiches, Lou Rui went out to school.....
