"Go!" Daniel made a complicated magic gesture with both hands. Countless black rays flew out from the magic formation and shot at the Wing Skeleton. Black smoke rose from the Wing Skeleton's body. It banged its skull against the wall in pain, but it refused to fly out of the window.
Did it have intelligence? Daniel suddenly regretted it. This Wing Skeleton seemed to be very different from normal undead creatures. Why didn't he notice it before? But the contract was already signed. It was too late for regrets.
"Bing, in the name of the contract, go!" Daniel's gesture changed again. At this time, the Wing Skeleton could no longer control its body. It flew out of the Magic Tower's window in a crooked manner.
Nelis watched this scene and said to Salin in a low voice, "Master, I don't like this Daniel."
Even Rex could not stand it anymore. She did not know what Salin and Daniel talked about to make him treat his own contracted creature like this. Everyone knew that Magicians would think of ways to get followers, as long as the Magician had the ability to provide for them. But no matter how many followers they had, they were not as effective and loyal as contracted creatures.
Salin's expression did not change. So this Wing Skeleton's name was Bing. Hehe, that was simple. It was just a skeleton soldier. Daniel could not even give this Wing Skeleton a better name. Looks like I did the right thing.
In the Spectral Plane, it was difficult for skeletons to grow into powerful undead creatures. But skeletons with bone wings had a much higher chance. Skeletons with intelligence were even rarer. Bing was bound by the contract and sent out of the Magic Tower by force. It began to absorb the ghost fog on the island involuntarily. The bone wings on its back had already cracked from crashing into the Magic Tower. Now, there was no longer any red light in its eyes, only a pitch-black sky like the eternal night.
Thousands of magic runes appeared on the Wing Skeleton's bones. These magic runes floated up from the bones and spun rapidly, forming a huge whirlpool that began to absorb the ghost fog on the island.
The ghost fog was extremely thick. After it was absorbed by the whirlpool formed by the runes on the Wing Skeleton's body, it directly drilled into the Wing Skeleton's bones and was assimilated into its bones. The Winged Skeleton was originally white in color. After absorbing the ghost mist, its color began to darken. It turned from white to light gray, then to dark gray. Finally, like dragon blood ink, it turned completely pitch-black.
The Winged Skeleton's bones were strengthened. Its bone wings were originally three meters wide, but after absorbing the energy, they grew to six meters. Moreover, a second pair of bone wings began to grow on its back. This wasn't a natural evolution, but rather a forceful absorption of the power of the Ghost Mist created by the Undead Plane. This strengthening might be its last evolution.
The Wing Skeleton's instincts made it resist this kind of evolution, but the binding of the contract made it unable to stop the evolution process.
The ghost fog gradually thinned, and the Wing Skeleton's screams became louder and louder. Stars and the moon started to appear in the sky. More than half of the Ghost Fog on the Ghost Fog Island was absorbed by the Winged Skeleton. The small monsters within the Ghost Fog howled as they rolled on the ground in pain. One by one, they died.
With the death of the fog monster, the fog dissipated even faster. To the north of the Mage Tower, a huge rock began to tremble. This rock was more than forty meters tall and square. There were no signs of artificial carvings on it. As the ghost fog disappeared, there was a cracking sound coming from the inside of the rock.
Daniel pointed. "Over there!"
Before he finished speaking, the huge rock had already let out an earth-shattering sound and exploded in the middle. Huge pieces of rock flew everywhere. A rock with a diameter of more than a meter flew toward the Mage Tower and hit the window of the Mage Tower. With a boom, the Mage Tower shook violently.
At this moment, the Wing Skeleton's eyes suddenly flashed with red light. It suddenly sped up and flew toward the broken rock.
Daniel's eyes flashed. The Wing Skeleton's mission had been completed, and the seal had been exposed. Now that the Wing Skeleton had taken the initiative to attack the undead creature that was about to appear, it could share a lot of the burden for Salin and the others.
Daniel was a little worried. The Wing Skeleton's actions were no different from sending itself to death. He turned back to look at Salin. Salin's expression was calm, and he had no intention of stopping the Wing Skeleton.
Daniel was relieved. After all, he wasn't the one who had ordered the Wing Skeleton to take the risk. After he obtained this undead creature, what the Wing Skeleton looked like was Salin's business. Since Salin didn't stop it, he didn't have any responsibility.
"Rex, I'll have to trouble you with this." Salin took a deep breath. The huge rock had collapsed, and a sealing magic array was revealed in the middle. The magic array's circuits were already messy. Black lines and white, illusory light intertwined together like a huge net. However, this net was already very weak now. The undead creature in the net had finally revealed itself.
Rex nodded. The undead creature in the seal was unexpectedly strong. Even though its power had been depleted, it still had the power of a seventh-tier creature. This undead creature's three white heads were even bigger than a wheel. Its protruding mouth was filled with sharp, densely packed teeth, like the layers of teeth in the mouth of a shark.
There were countless three-headed creatures in the Dimension of Dead Souls. However, this undead creature had a pair of long and thin horns on its head that grew diagonally to the back. They were more than two meters long. These horns weren't used for physical combat. Instead, they were used by this undead creature to store necromancy magic. Undead creatures didn't have magic cores. There were very few creatures that could release magic, unless they were very strong.
This undead creature had three heads and six horns. It could release at least six spells at the same time.
Fortunately, it still had to release these spells and destroy the sealing magic array if it wanted to break free and completely break free from the seal.
Rex rose into the air. This time, she directly released Fire Wash. Her body was wrapped in orange flames, and she flew out of the Magic Tower like a meteor.
What a genius! Salin exclaimed in his heart.
The flying skill that he had mutated using water magic had taken him a few years of research before he had a prototype. After seeing him use it once, Rex immediately learned it. She used violent fire elements to produce the effect of flying.
He had no choice but to develop such a mutated spell. Rex was the most intelligent Mage that Salin had ever seen. Her Fire Purification Spell was ever-changing. As long as she was given a theory, she would be able to develop according to that theory.
Fayern's skill was Fireball, and Rex's was Fire Wash. What skill should he focus on?
Icicle? This was fine against low-level enemies, but it was basically useless against Magic Shooters. Ice Bullet? This was also targeted at Warriors. It would consume too much energy. Water Cut? A single-target attack was strong enough, but it couldn't be a ranged attack.
Salin thought of the lightning power stored in the badge. If he could master this power, it seemed like he could use it as the main direction of his training. The undead creature in the seal was very strong. Salin could even sense that it was observing everything in the Magic Tower from afar. This kind of perception was even stronger than his own.
However, if he could master the power in the badge, this undead creature would be nothing more than a single blow.
No matter how fast magic was, it couldn't be faster than lightning. Other than the six elements, the power of lightning seemed to be the most violent and released the fastest. Fire magic was powerful because it released fire elements too quickly. Earth-element magic had enough defense, but the release speed was a headache.
However, compared to lightning, the release speed of fire elements was like a snail crawling. The faster the element was released, the more power it contained.
Salin wasn't worried about Rex at all. The Winged Skeleton had already flown above the sealed undead creature. The undead creature raised its three huge heads and roared at the bright moon in the sky.
The ground was shaking. That was the undead creature struggling, trying to break the restraints of the magic seal.
I know. This guy … is Peutheus.
"Peutheus?" Salin wasn't familiar with necromancy. He didn't know what Peutheus was at all.
"It means trample in the language of the undead. This creature …"
"Don't worry. Rex can subdue it in three minutes at most." Salin looked at the battle in the distance and felt bored. Rex had a level-seven scroll. There was no suspense in this kind of battle against an undead creature that had only level-seven power.
He felt a little annoyed. Without a word, he left the sixth floor of the Magic Tower and sat down on the fifth floor. Silva and Neris followed him.
"Neris, did I go too far?" Salin rubbed his brows. The Winged Skeleton attacked before Rex. It seemed like it was seeking its own death.
"Yes, but it chose Daniel. It's not Master's fault." Neris sounded a little guilty.
Salin smiled and patted Neris's shoulder. "Don't worry. No matter what, I won't give you to anyone else."
Neris lowered her eyelids. Daniel's attitude toward the Winged Skeleton made her hate him. But Daniel was Salin's follower now, so she couldn't do anything. Unless Daniel made a mistake.
It's better for a Magician like this to die. Neris thought fiercely in her heart.
Outside the Magic Tower, a sound even louder than the explosion of a forbidden spell sounded. Salin suddenly felt a throbbing in the depths of his soul. It was a feeling that he only felt when he signed the contract with Neris.
"Master …"
An unfamiliar voice appeared in Salin's mind. Salin was shocked.
"Who is it?"
"Army!"
"You … come here."
Salin didn't know what spell Rex had used to subdue the undead creature with one strike. This was a little disappointing. But it was always good to save scrolls. What made him excited was that the Winged Skeleton could communicate with him spiritually. This was an ability that even Neris didn't have.
"I … I can't go." The Winged Skeleton's voice was extremely tired. Salin felt that the connection between him and the Winged Skeleton was about to be cut off. He quickly ran down the Magic Tower and dashed out of the door.
In the distance, the white moonlight shone on the deserted island with rocks everywhere. It was like the ancient wasteland described in books. Daniel stood in front of the huge undead creature. He pressed his hand on the huge head in the middle. A three-dimensional magic array enveloped him and Petheus together.
Further away, Rex stood with her hands down. Under her feet, the Winged Skeleton crawled. The Winged Skeleton's black bones were shattered on the ground. Its two pairs of bone wings were completely broken. Its voice was dying. It said in Salin's mind, "Master, I'm going to die. I'm going to disappear forever …"
