“As expected of an elemental crystal from a Magister, it only took such a short time for me to condense Death magic within my body.”
Feeling the increased power within him, Hell once again brought up his attribute panel.
“Name: Hell Heim”
“Strength: 1-star Beginner Mage”
“Attributes: Martial Power 3 (4), Magic Power 11 (Water) 42 (Death), Knowledge 105 (5), Luck 83 (4), Charm 176 (9), Elemental Affinity 30 (Water) 100 (Death)”
As expected of the amplification brought by a high-level entry, even though the amount of Death magic and Water magic in his body was similar, it directly increased his Magic Power attribute to 42.
He could easily defeat his former self.
And this was just the help a small elemental crystal brought to Hell.
As a qualified Magister, how could he not carry some magical tools with him?
Hell did not believe that these two Magisters would be two paupers.
After a search, he was indeed not disappointed.
“Name: Space Ring”
“Grade: Purple · Rare”
“Entry: Storage Space (Purple)”
“Description: A storage ring containing 1000 cubic meters of space. The user needs to imprint their soul mark.”
There were a total of two storage rings, found on the bodies of Nether and Rose respectively. Both rings were of the same style, clearly from the same place.
However, there were mental imprints left by the two Magisters on the rings.
With Hell's current strength, he was unable to remove the mental imprints on them.
Therefore, he could only put these two rings into his pocket and wait until he was stronger to try again.
Besides that, Hell also found a red-covered magic book on Rose's thigh.
“Name: Book of Blood”
“Grade: Red · Holy Artifact”
“Entry: Blood Feast (Red), Blood Magic Engraving (Red)”
“Description: One of the seven Holy Artifacts of the Blood Race. It can store blood energy and instantly cast blood-attribute magic engraved on it.”
This was a very powerful magical tool, and its origin was quite terrifying, even linked to the secretive Blood Race.
However, if compared to another magical tool found on Nether, it was simply insignificant.
“Name: Undead Holy Coffin”
“Grade: Pink · Semi-Divine Artifact”
“Entry: Undead Scourge (Red), Undead Space (Pink), Undead Fusion (Red), Three-Layer Seal (Black)”
“Description: The Holy Coffin used by the Nether Goddess in the mortal realm, containing a trace of Nether God power.”
“Undead Scourge (Red): The wearer can create Undead without consumption. Undead level is affected by corpse quality.”
“Undead Space (Pink): Unfolds an Undead storage space. Undead in the space slowly recover from injuries, and corpses will not rot.”
“Undead Fusion (Red): Can fuse Undead with other Undead or materials for upgrade.”
“Three-Layer Seal (Black): Contains a triple seal, which can only be unlocked by sacrificing life.”
“Current Seal: 2/3, Undead Scourge (Red) unlocked.”
“Next Seal Unlock Progress: 1 million / 10 million.”
The Undead Holy Coffin, though called a coffin, was actually a coffin-shaped necklace. The coffin was composed of countless skeletons intertwined, giving it a dark gothic beauty.
“Seal?”
Hell frowned as he looked at the necklace in his hand.
With a thought, he picked up the 【Three-Layer Seal (Black)】.
For such inanimate objects, the pickup function had no restrictions.
Therefore, he did not need to bitterly sacrifice life to break the seal of this semi-divine artifact like Nether did.
However, this necklace did not look like something a good person would wear. If it were discovered by people from the Sanctuary Church, it would definitely bring him a lot of trouble.
After this crisis passed, perhaps he would try to transfer these entries to another piece of equipment.
Of course, these were all matters for later. Currently, he was unsure how many enemies were still in the castle.
Therefore, he needed to do everything possible to increase his combat power.
This applied to the Witch entry, this semi-divine artifact, and Death magic.
At present, he was not in a position to be picky.
And with the blessing of these items, he now had a safer way to ascertain his situation.
That was to summon a helper, or rather, a cannon fodder to scout for him.
For example…
Using the corpse Nether carried in to transform an Undead.
“Name: Remus”
“Strength: 7-star Beginner Knight”
“Attributes: Martial Power 21 (17), Magic Power 5, Knowledge 5, Luck 1, Charm 2, Elemental Affinity 10”
“Entries: Earth Attribute Battle Qi Affinity (White), Beginner Swordsmanship (White), Strong and Powerful (Gray), Duke Cain's Loyal Servant (Black)”
“Duke Cain's Loyal Servant: Loyalty +60, the loyal servant of the third prince, Duke Cain.”
Duke Cain's Loyal Servant?
Duke Cain, full name Duke Cain Mandala, was the third child of the Mandala Family, and also the original owner's cheap third brother. In the original owner's memory, he was a good-for-nothing playboy.
But unexpectedly, knowing a person's face doesn't mean knowing their heart. This guy was secretly a sly fox.
Even his least favored younger brother had his people around him, and they were even members of the personal guard.
One should know that every noble's personal guard was their most loyal confidant, and also an important guarantee for them to sleep peacefully.
After all, no matter how powerful a person is, they will get tired and exhausted. They also want to have a good night's sleep.
Therefore, Duke Cain's actions were undoubtedly placing a knife at Hell's throat, a knife that could deliver a fatal blow to him immediately after they fell out.
However, all of that was in the past.
Hell squatted down and gently touched Remus's corpse. Soon, all the entries on him were picked up.
At the same time, a complex magic circle appeared in Hell's palm.
“Beginner Death Magic: Undead Revival”
With the help of the Undead Holy Coffin's entry ability, even Hell, this rookie Undead Mage, successfully cast this magic.
Not long after, Remus, covered in blood, suddenly sat up.
Like a corpse rising from the dead.
Of course, he indeed rose from the dead.
At this moment, Mr. Remus had gloriously evolved into an Undead.
However, compared to his human period, his strength had dropped significantly because his entries were taken away.
And after transforming into an Undead, it also brought him 3 black entries.
The most impactful side effect was the 【Unconscious】 entry, which directly reduced Knowledge by 60.
Knowledge includes a person's rationality, intelligence, life experience, and knowledge reserves, among a series of things.
And negative Knowledge means that this person can only act on instinct, thus having no subjective initiative at all.
If all Undead creatures had such an entry within them, then it would explain why many low-level Undead had no intelligence.
Of course, intelligence or anything else was not important. Hell summoned Remus just to have him scout the way for him.
So Hell directly threw Mr. Remus out, and after he wandered around outside and confirmed that there was no danger in the surroundings.
Hell then stealthily walked out.
The dungeon space was not large. After Hell came out, he arrived at a wide corridor.
Six cells were arranged side by side on both sides of the corridor, and Hell had emerged from one of them.
However, as soon as he came out, what met his eyes were corpses all over the floor.
Blood mixed with shredded flesh covered the entire corridor, and there was not a single living person in sight.
This scene, for him, a modern person born in an era of peace, undoubtedly caused a strong impact.
