Chapter 1416 Skull Of Eternal Unrest
“Are you sure about that?” Jin asked as he saw the one and only general watching the entire shitshow from the rooftops. Baal’s Icy Breath might have killed the rest of the Demon Rat Mages but he was standing in the middle of it all unscathed by everything else.
Peppers was a little confused with Jin’s questioning until she realised that the Demon Rat Mage General’s body slowly started to regenerate from the little pieces of meat that were left from the explosions.
“Healing Magic? Wait noβ¦ it felt like Reverse Time Magic, but it does not seem that way. If you Reverse Time magic in that particular space time area, my explosions would have happened again and yet the only thing that’s moving is his body.” Peppers deduced but Jin and Baal quietly looked at both Cinderclaw and the resurrection of Prideblood.
The Mage General gave a burst of croaking laughter as his head was formed first and subsequently the rest of his body. His Mana levels were also back to their original values as if he was not just reverted back to his old self but was reborn as well.
“Cinderclaw! With this feat of wonder, I will swear fealty to you for the rest of my life!” Prideblood shouted as the tips of his body had been detailedly reformed. The others might not have known but the previous North and South Scholars had dabbled and wielded the powers of necromancy.
However, their use of necromancy felt inadequate and multiple experiments had proven that the effects of long lasting life were mainly due to their ability to maintain the mana levels within the undead. But what if they do not wish to use their mana since it was draining way too much of it for daily usage? What if they have another source of power that could be replenished easily but is powerful enough to maintain undeads?
So, yes. The answer was Lifestream energy. With the characteristic of the Farming World, the lifestream energy was the key to solving their conundrum. It is not only able to act as a superior substitute to mana, but it also provides regeneration and possibly awakening the special abilities within one’s self.
For the Demon Rats, when they are killed, they would be transformed into a resource. There are normal resources and there were rare ones. Cinderclaw happened to be that one of a thousand resources, or perhaps one out of a million. That particularly unique one where the item itself was an artefact amplifier.
By itself, it was pretty useless even though it was a rare item, but the North and South Scholars had their ways of increasing the strength of Cinderclaw’s abilities by allowing him to use their artefacts.
That was when the seed of rebellion had been planted into Cinderclaw’s mind as they experimented on him with various artefacts to see how strong the amplification could be when he had unlocked his latent talents via the lifestream energy.
Soon, it was plain to see that he could be way more powerful than the scholars themselves and thus they decided to wipe his memories of those artefacts that had been used in order for him not to lust for such items. However, the scholars themselves did not know that after being affected by both lifestream energies and a multitude of artefacts had made him somewhat resistant to the mind washing effects.
Those memories eventually surfaced and Cinderclaw sought after those artefacts that the scholars possessed even though he knew that by doing so, would be a coup d’etat. Still, he did not care as once he was well recognised by the other Demon Rats, being second to none to the scholars, removing them would only be the least of his worries.
Thus, he was using that particular necromancy artefact, the Skull of Eternal Unrest, infused with lifestream energies to bring Prideblood back into the picture. So long as the lifestream energies were still within the vicinity of his death, Prideblood could return almost instantly, rendering him nearly immortal considering how the Demon Rats purposely set their city underground to get close to the source of lifestream energy.
“Argh, so irritating!” Peppers said as she raised her hand and closed her eyes while a magic ball choke full of magic was being generated but Jin stopped her by holding her wrist, stopping her from completing the incantation.
“Why are you stopping me from killing him?” Peppers said as Jin told her to look up and she saw Prideblood being ravaged by Baal’s magic attack. Ice spikes were protruding out not just from his chest but from every portion of his body.
Yet, the body which was supposed to be frozen and broken by the ice spikes was slowly being stitched by the powers of the necromancy artefact. “Even if you condense your magic and kill it in one shot, it doesn’t matter until the main artefact user dies,” Jin said while Cinderclaw held onto the Skull of Eternal Unrest and continued to pour lifestream energies into it.πreeπeπ―π»ovπl.π€πΌπ
“Then, the mage general would be an excellent way to warm up my magic fingers. It’s been so long since I used my magic and those spell words are just hanging in my brain, wanting to get out.” Baal iterated as he once again cast another spell in demon tongue, causing Prideblood to explode into ice flakes.
“As for you, instead of blasting things with friendlies in the way, think of a way to capture all that lifestream energy so they could not be used in its resurrection. I will go deal with that main antagonist of this entire charade.” Jin said as he poured some Maqi into his legs and boosted them so he could qing gong straight to the top of the Demon Rats High Command.
With his Panda Mask on as a blatant and yet necessary cover against streamers’ comments, he jumped straight to the real threat of the Demon Rats to end this once and for all.
