"Roar …"
On the oval-shaped altar in the second level of the Cemetery of Death, Han Shuo let out a heart-wrenching roar. His entire body was shrouded in a dense green light, and his head in particular had a jade-like luster. It was so green that it looked like the most magnificent emerald.
During this process, Han Shuo's mental strength was still growing at a crazy rate. However, the evil god's imprint that came from an unknown place wanted to invade the depths of Han Shuo's soul and make Han Shuo have an undying belief in the evil god. This was a soul imprint, just like the one that Han Shuo had planted on the Little Skull earth elite zombie. Once the soul imprint was planted, Han Shuo would no longer have a sense of self.
This was absolutely not what Han Shuo wanted!!
Even though his mind felt like it was being sliced by a thousand knives, Han Shuo still persevered with his eyes wide open. He roared like a madman, trying to relieve the pressure of the pain through this method.
However, as the green light on the altar grew brighter, the power of the evil god's imprint grew stronger and stronger. In a trance, the figure of a three thousand meter tall giant appeared in Han Shuo's mind. The giant's pitch-black body shrouded the entire horizon. Its green eyes were like two enormous crescent moons, looking down on the weak ant-like beings with a disdainful gaze.
An enormous pressure filled the space between heaven and earth, causing Han Shuo to be unable to breathe. That endless aura carried an aura of eternity, like the milky way and stars that had existed for hundreds of millions of years.
"Submit, there will be no pain, and you will obtain eternal life!"
A spiritual imprint suddenly rushed into Han Shuo's mind, repeatedly tempting Han Shuo. It seemed that as long as he let go of his soul and accepted this imprint, he would no longer feel pain, and would have endless life.
"No …"
Han Shuo howled mournfully as he clutched his head with both hands and rolled on the ground. Suddenly, the Demonslayer Edge hidden within Han Shuo's body abruptly released a terrifying killing intent. The negative emotions of fear, hatred, and destruction converged into a wave of energy and instantly surged into the demon infant's defenses.
The Demonslayer Edge within Han Shuo's body shrunk into a streak of light, carrying with it all the energy in Han Shuo's body, and suddenly bombarded the three thousand meter tall giant in his mind.
"Pipa …"
The crisp sound of glass shattering rang clearly in Han Shuo's mind. The three thousand meter tall giant that had appeared in his trance shattered into specks of starlight and abruptly converged within the Demonslayer Edge.
In just an instant, the heart-wrenching pain receded like a receding tide, and the crazy growth of the mental energy in his brain abruptly stopped. The green light screen above the entire altar also disappeared without a trace.
The Eye of Darkness was no longer in Han Shuo's hand. In its place was a skeletal staff with a green handle and three skulls at the top.
The skeletal staff was one meter and thirty centimeters long, and its entire body was made of a beautiful green jade-like material. The three skulls didn't look like human skulls, and were respectively yellow, blue, and purple in color. The yellow skull had three eye holes, the blue skull had a single horn, and the purple skull was covered with finger-sized holes.
Although the three skulls had strange shapes, they were only the size of a fist, and each looked more sinister and evil than the last. The three skulls perfectly fused with the handle of the staff, facing three different directions at the back of the staff's head.
Slowly, Han Shuo's panting gradually calmed down, and he actually fainted, collapsing on the ground and not moving.
However, when Han Shuo fainted, the three skulls of different shapes and colors on the skeletal staff in his hand simultaneously shot out three rays of yellow, blue, and purple light. The three rays of light were like ribbons, landing at the corners of Han Shuo's mouth and nostrils.
Due to the heart-wrenching pain, Han Shuo couldn't endure the blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth and nostrils. The wisps of boiling blood were guided by the power of the three rays of light, dripping into the three skulls of different colors. As Han Shuo's blood flowed into the three skulls, the three skulls grew brighter and brighter.
Finally, the blood from Han Shuo's nostrils and mouth was absorbed by the three skulls. The radiant light from the skeletal staff slowly dissipated, and the skeletal staff also returned to normal.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Shuo slowly regained consciousness. His entire body was sore and powerless, and his meridians and bones seemed to have been shattered. There wasn't a single part of his body that didn't hurt.
On the contrary, his brain, which had experienced the pain of the explosion, felt very comfortable and clear. When Han Shuo lowered his head, he saw the skeletal staff. Han Shuo was shocked, his eyes filled with confusion. He had no idea where this skeletal staff had come from.
"Eh, where's the Eye of Darkness?!" In the next moment, Han Shuo discovered that the Eye of Darkness that had been in his hand had disappeared, causing him to turn pale with fright.
The Eye of Darkness was a tool used to enter and exit the Cemetery of Death. Once the Eye of Darkness disappeared, the only way to leave the Cemetery of Death under the boundary was through the transportation matrix. This would be very troublesome.
Suddenly, Han Shuo glanced at the skeletal staff. He discovered that the emerald green color of the skeletal staff was very similar to the Eye of Darkness, and felt a very familiar feeling when he held it in his hand.
With a thought, Han Shuo tried to use the skeletal staff in the same way he had used the Eye of Darkness. A green halo then shot out from the handle of the skeletal staff. Han Shuo immediately understood what was going on when he saw that familiar halo.
After staring at the skeletal staff for a while, Han Shuo became more and more amazed the more he looked at it. However, when he recalled the incident of the evil god invading his soul, Han Shuo first stored the skeletal staff into his space ring with lingering fear. He didn't dare to test the effects of the skeletal staff when his magical yuan was exhausted and his body was extremely weak.
Closing his eyes, Han Shuo carefully recalled everything that had happened before he fainted. He couldn't help but rejoice, thinking that this Cemetery of Death was indeed not simple. When the evil god's imprint invaded his soul, the image of the giant that had appeared was something that Han Shuo had never dared to imagine.
Han Shuo was certain that the image of the giant was the appearance of the evil god. Han Shuo completely understood what the evil god's imprint wanted to do to him. This caused Han Shuo, who had finally escaped from the cleansing of his soul, to be more cautious of this Cemetery of Death.
In the next moment, Han Shuo suddenly recalled the words of the shadow: Let go of everything and accept this mental strength that will help you grow. It will let you possess the mental strength to become a grand magus!
The ecstatic Han Shuo immediately released an ordinary skeletal summoning spell. Eight ordinary skeletal warriors immediately appeared above the altar. Feeling the smoothness and vastness of his mental strength, Han Shuo was overjoyed and immediately understood that his mental strength had received an astonishing increase.
The same necromancy magic would have different effects depending on the strength of the mental strength. Generally speaking, the same magic could be divided into five levels according to the strength of the mental strength.
Take the simplest skeletal summoning spell as an example. A magic apprentice that had just entered the hall of magic would have an extremely weak mental strength and could only summon one skeletal warrior when releasing the skeletal summoning spell. However, when a journeyman mage used it, due to the great increase in their mental strength, they would be able to release the second level skeletal summoning spell and summon two skeletal warriors at once.
This time, Han Shuo was able to summon eight skeletal warriors at once. This meant that Han Shuo's skeletal summoning spell had already reached the fourth level. This was sufficient proof that Han Shuo's mental strength had received an astonishing increase. According to the understanding of necromancy magic books, Han Shuo understood that only a grand magus' mental strength could reach the fourth level of the skeletal summoning spell.
"It's true, it's actually true! My mental strength has reached the level of a grand magus in an instant. Although this Cemetery of Death is strange, there are truly some miraculous places." Han Shuo was wild with joy. Although his body was still very weak, he still couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Struggling to sit up, Han Shuo's eyes sparkled as he looked around. He discovered that apart from the oval-shaped altar in the center, the space of the second floor was half the size of the first floor. The surroundings were completely empty, and there were no other special items. There were also no secret rooms to store any items.
The altar beneath Han Shuo was the center of the entire second floor. A mysterious magic matrix had been set up. This magic matrix alone occupied the entire second floor. Apart from this, there were no other items. It seemed that this second floor was for the purpose of cleansing the soul and instilling that powerful mental strength.
After resting for a while, Han Shuo walked out of the second floor of the Cemetery of Death. He sat cross-legged in front of the magic matrix in the center and slowly gathered his depleted magical yuan, slowly recovering his lost strength.
After around five days, Han Shuo let out a long sigh of relief. He murmured in high spirits, "The invasion of this evil god's soul is quite useful. Not only did it allow my mental strength to break through to the level of a grand magus, but even my demonic arts have greatly improved!"
Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry to leave. He stayed in the Cemetery of Death and immersed himself in the study of necromancy magic. Although he had the mental strength of a grand magus, some necromancy magic still needed to be practiced one by one. Fortunately, Han Shuo had absorbed the memories of archmage Clarendon last time. When he truly began to learn archmage level magic, Han Shuo's memories played a great role.
Neglecting sleep and food, Han Shuo practiced necromancy magic in the Cemetery of Death as if he was possessed. He repeatedly released every archmage level necromancy magic and only stopped when his mental strength was completely exhausted every day. Every time he meditated, his mental strength would increase by a small margin.
After ten days, Han Shuo had skillfully used several of the necromancy magic that Claude had mastered. However, there were two new necromancy magic recorded in the "Necromancy Magic" that he had obtained from the Cemetery of Death. Han Shuo understood that it would be difficult to master them in a short period of time. Therefore, he didn't waste any more time and left the Cemetery of Death through the transportation matrix.
