Chapter 377 The Path to Godhood: A Pioneer of the Death Profession!
After a long while, Su Xinyan finally snapped out of her reverie about Master Sandru's idea and exclaimed, "This idea is so imaginative, it far exceeds my previous expectations."
But upon closer examination, it does indeed have a very high degree of feasibility.
Ark, what do you think?
Fang Zhou smiled and nodded, saying, "Master Sandru, you truly are a pillar of our necromancer profession."
I also think this idea of artificial undead is very promising.
By the way, Master Sandru, I see that your spell structure projection is already quite mature.
What are the current milestones or progress?
Master Sandru nodded, a rare hint of pride appearing on his ashen face.
He said, "Over the years, I have devoted almost all my energy to the research project on artificial undead."
Today, we have indeed achieved some initial results.
"Look, I have now developed a series of spells that can reliably create apprentice-level skeletons."
As Master Sandru finished speaking, he enlarged the projection on the screen and began to demonstrate to everyone the artificial necromancy he had developed.
"I call this series of newly developed spells the [Artificial Skeleton] series of skills."
It involves several key steps.
The first step is to create skeletons.
The necromancer casts spells on the corpse of a monster, and the corpse's bones absorb the flesh and blood from the body, eventually integrating the essence of the flesh and blood into the bones to form a complete skeleton.
This process is like bones absorbing nutrients, gradually shedding flesh, leaving behind a pure skeletal framework.
"The second step is to shape the skeleton."
The necromancer casts spells on the skeleton, and under the influence of the magic, the skeleton grows or shrinks until it becomes the size suitable for the skeleton's frame.
During this process, the bones will be adjusted to their optimal state to accommodate the subsequent infusion of soul fire.
"The third step is the most crucial one: infusing the soul fire."
Necromancers use their magic to infuse soulfire into skeletons, stabilizing their soul-bond compatibility, injecting the skeleton's basic instincts, and inscribing a enslavement contract into the soulfire to ensure that these artificial undead can faithfully serve the spellcaster.
The Soulfire is the core of a skeleton's life; only when the Soulfire and the bones are perfectly combined can a skeleton be truly awakened.
"The final step is to restore the skeleton."
The necromancer can use magic to resurrect a skeleton whose soul and bones are perfectly integrated, making it an apprentice-level skeleton.
Such artificial skeletons can not only perform basic tasks, but also evolve over time by absorbing death energy.
After explaining the steps to create the artificial skeleton, Sandru turned to Fangzhou and Su Xinyan with a slightly mysterious smile on his face and said, "Next, I have a spellcasting demonstration video."
It might be a bit gory, would you two like to see it?
As true necromancers, Su Xinyan and Fang Zhou were already accustomed to dissecting monster corpses and were fearless in the face of bloody scenes.
Sandru then signaled to Sylvanas to play the casting video for the [Artificial Skeleton] skill.
Fangzhou turned his gaze to the projection screen, where he saw the silver-haired moon elf necromancer Sylvanas casting the [Artificial Skeleton] skill on the corpse of a gnoll.
The first step is to create the skeleton!
As the gray magical light entered the gnoll corpse, the body began to undergo a bizarre transformation. It was as if countless small black holes appeared inside the corpse, and the flesh and blood rapidly withered, as if being drawn out by an invisible force, leaving only a humanoid skeleton with blood-red patterns.
Every bone on this skeleton is clearly visible, with faint traces of blood remaining on them, as if they were the last traces of life.
Sylvanas then continued casting spells.
Step two: Shaping the skeleton!
The gnoll skeleton had clearly been through countless battles, or was deformed for some reason, and the bones were not perfect.
However, under the influence of the spell, the skeleton began to be subtly adjusted under the control of Sylvanas's magic.
The skeletal structure became more balanced, and the vertebrae that had previously been slightly curved gradually returned to their normal shape under the influence of magic.
Some hidden injuries on the bones were also repaired. The magic power transported the essence from other parts of the body to make up for these damages, making the entire skeleton present a perfect symmetrical beauty.
Following that, the third step began: infusing the soul fire!
Sylvanas gently waved her hands, and a dim, flickering pale blue soulfire was infused into the skeleton.
With the help of necromancy, the soulfire began to repair the skeleton, carefully examining and adjusting every inch from the ankles to the skull.
Sylvanas continuously infused various magical runes to help stabilize the Soulfire and enhance its power.
As she chanted the incantation again and again, the soul fire gradually became brighter and more stable, like a lighthouse illuminating the skeletons in the darkness.
Next, the soulfire was infused with the skeleton's fighting instincts.
After completing these steps, Sylvanas inscribed a enslavement pact into the soulfire, ensuring that the artificial skeleton would unconditionally obey the spellcaster's commands.
After this step is completed, the most crucial step comes next—restoring the skeleton!
As Sylvanas cast her spell, a dense stream of necromantic power flowed into the skeleton before her.
With a soft "poof" sound, the soul fire within the skull of the skeleton burned even more fiercely.
The skeleton before them had been successfully resurrected, becoming a brand-new artificial undead creature—an apprentice-level skeleton.
The power emanated from the flames within the skull, flowing along the bones and throughout the entire body.
Under the influence of the soul fire, the skeleton stood up once more.
It moved its bones, and even though only teeth and bones remained in its jaw, it kept opening and closing, as if testing its new body.
As the skeleton's soulfire sensed Sylvanas's presence, it knelt on one knee, its bones clanging and rattling as if swearing allegiance.
Looking at the skull in the projection, with blue soul fire flickering in its head, Fang Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "Not bad, it looks no different from an ordinary skeleton summoned from the Netherworld."
In the projection, Sylvanas issued a series of commands to the artificial skeleton.
The skeleton meticulously carried out a series of actions as ordered.
From walking and turning to swinging its arms, every movement is fluid and natural, as if it were already a well-trained warrior.
In the end, Sylvanas summoned a regular apprentice-level skeleton and then ordered the artificial skeleton and the summoned skeleton to engage in a fierce battle.
