Chapter 354: Chapter 265: Gaining Control of the Castle of the Undead, Receiving the Curse of the Fallen Angel!_2
When Zi Liyuan's spirit seeped into the heart through the touch of his hand, bit by bit, he "saw" a crystal at the center of the heart.
The crystal was only the size of a fingernail, perfectly round, in the shape of Tai Chi, with one half gold and the other half black, constantly revolving.
The Power of Holy Light and the Power of Death within the heart were refined by the crystal, maintaining a certain balance.
Even as the Power of Death outside became denser, the power in the heart always remained in a fifty-fifty balance.
Upon closer inspection, the crystal could convert the Power of Holy Light and the Power of Death into each other, achieving a harmonious balance between the two forces.
"Copperbeard gave fairly accurate information this time, just letting the crystal bear the imprint of my spirit, I don't know if any mishap will occur."
Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One had told him that to gain complete control over the Castle of the Undead, he must engrave his own Soul Imprint in the core crystal of the Fallen Angel's heart.
Only by doing this could he obtain the control authority over the entire Castle of the Undead, and even receive the Fallen Angel's curse upon himself.
For practitioners of death-related classes, the Fallen Angel's curse was like the blessing of the Angel of Light for those in light-related jobs, being an enhancement state, and moreover, a permanent enhancement BUFF.
"Huh, if I trust this guy and something goes wrong, just let the Hydra Monster eat him!"
After a moment of hesitation, Zi Liyuan gritted his teeth, his spirit leaving his body through his hand touching the heart and burrowing into the heart of the Fallen Angel.
Instantly, a vast amount of the Power of Holy Light and the Power of Death surged into his spirit, beginning to assault it.
Luckily, the remnants of the Fallen Angel's spirit that lingered in this heart had long been wiped clean by the Mage Andrew, otherwise he would certainly not be able to withstand the unconscious assault of the Emperor-level Fallen Angel's power.
Once Zi Liyuan's spirit entered the crystal within the heart, he suddenly felt the surrounding Power of Holy Light and Power of Death become very active and familiar.
"Is this the affinity for the Power of Holy Light and Death elements? Fallen Angels truly are a blessed race, no wonder they are ranked within the top hundred among the races of the Sea of Realms."
Just the power within the heart alone made Zi Liyuan feel his own insignificance.
If the Spiritual Power within his own body was a small stream, then the power within the heart of the Fallen Angel was like a vast lake!
The gap was simply too vast!
"No wonder the books say that when facing a Fallen Angel, if you don't have three colleagues of the same rank to assist, don't hesitate to escape using life-saving measures."
Feeling the power within the heart, Zi Liyuan felt as though he could instantly release dozens of enhanced Bone Spears to wipe out the Black Dragon Sister Dailisi!
It was outrageous!
After expressing his amazement, he began the real work, concentrating a bit of his spirit's power to start inscribing an enslavement mark within the crystal.
Following the contract pattern provided by Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One, he slowly sketched out the pattern.
With the completion of this enslavement mark, Zi Liyuan suddenly felt an immense, hazy castle!
"What is this? The Castle of the Undead?"
His spirit's perception, from being blurred, gradually became crystal clear, and then he "saw" the entirety of the Castle of the Undead!
The entire Castle of the Undead was built around the central Necropolis as the core, with all other buildings constructed around it.
Evil Temples, Graveyards... Dragon's Peak... the Guild of Necro Magic...
He perceived the state of each building, especially when his perception entered the Guild of Necro Magic, he felt the fluctuations of the death rules.
These fluctuations made his spirit tremble, as if his comprehension of the Power of Death deepened even further.
At this moment, the system's notification sound abruptly came.
[Ding, Practitioner Zi Liyuan, has grasped a hint of the Death rules, all death-related skills' power increased by 10%!]
[Ding, Practitioner Zi Liyuan, has obtained full control of the Castle of the Undead, receives the enhancement of the Castle of the Undead, while inside the Castle of the Undead, all attributes increased by +50%, all undead-type spell casting times reduced by 50%!]
[Ding, Practitioner Zi Liyuan, has received the curse of the Emperor-level Fallen Angel's heart, death-related skill damage increased by 20%! All attributes increased by 20%!]
[Ding, occupation: Zi Liyuan, is within the Castle of the Undead, where the power of death elements is never exhausted unless the aura of death in the Castle of the Undead is completely depleted!]
...
A series of system notification sounds kept ringing in his ears.
Just as Zi Liyuan was preparing to take a closer look, the restrictions originally placed on his spirit vanished in an instant, and then his perception leapt forward, piercing through the Castle of the Undead and emerging within the Necro Realm.
The entire ancient undead castle came into the range of his soul perception.
Inside the ancient undead castle, the movement of every undead, every slight change, was all displayed before his "eyes."
"What is this?"
Just then, at the core of the ancient undead castle, he saw eight undead lords engaged in a fierce battle with a group of humans.
The battlefield at this moment was extraordinarily brutal, with a group of foreigners having suffered heavy casualties, but the eight undead Lord Bosses were also a ghastly sight.
"As expected, some foreigners have entered this Necro Realm; it seems my initial guess was completely correct."
When he noticed one of the foreigners had summoned an Angel of Light, Zi Liyuan's brows furrowed tighter.
Especially when he saw the Angel of Light constantly dominating the Spectral Dragon Kulong and Edward with its hammer, his frown deepened even further.
It was just a Lord Boss-level Angel of Light, yet under the suppression of the Power of Holy Light, it was able to 1V2 and still hold an absolute advantage.
It had to be said that these foreigners really were strong enough to enter this Necro Realm.
When Zi Liyuan caught sight of the other half, consisting of over twenty yellow-skinned people, he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.
"Dammit! They're Wokou! I have to kill them all later!"
The reason he could tell at a glance what these people were about was by seeing the Shikigami they summoned.
Of course, in the terms of the Wokou, these are called guardian spirits, worshipped as deities and nurtured, but in actuality, they are nothing but a group of fierce spirits.
This sort of thing is extremely evil, requiring the flesh, blood, and souls of living creatures to sustain them. In the Great Xia Empire, such entities are exterminated on sight to prevent them from causing harm to the area.
But the Wokou are different; they like to nurture such entities and then use their own essence blood as a conduit to control the Shikigami in battle.
"The Bone Dragon Legion under Kulong has nearly halved in number; this is the material for my Spectral Dragon Legion. No, I must go out now and kill all these Wokou!"
Above the entire battlefield, four powerful Shikigami were directly holding off the other six undead Lord Bosses, while the remaining dozen or so Shikigami had formed a ghostly formation, slowly consuming the undead army.
The Bone Dragon Legion and Dark Knight Legion suffered the heaviest losses.
The soul imprint retracted, and the ancient undead castle instantly disappeared from his perception.
The next moment, his spirit swept over the Castle of the Undead and then retracted again, this time directly returning to his own body.
"Whew, this feeling of probing the heavens and earth is truly exhilarating!"
At this moment, Zi Liyuan felt the aura of death throughout the Castle of the Undead surrounding him, awaiting his command.
It could be said that at this moment, if he wished to cast death-related spells, he could cast all low-level spells instantly.
And for high-level spells like Bone Spear, the casting time was cut by more than half!
"There's a Minor Forbidden Spell called 'Death Storm' in the Death Magic Guild that I can learn. It's like having control over a Minor Forbidden Spell, and on top of that, the casting time is significantly reduced, and I can gather the aura of death in advance without using my own energy."
Thinking about being within the Castle of the Undead, where he only needed about ten minutes to release the Minor Forbidden Spell 'Death Storm,' endless scenarios of defeating Bosses sprang up in his mind.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It could be said that as long as he lured those Epic Bosses into the Castle of the Undead, he could kill them any way he wanted!
