When Han Shuo returned to the Soul Destroyer mercenary band, he discovered that Trunks was sitting in the middle of the arena with Grant's support. He was currently looking up at the vast expanse of whiteness in the sky.
Trunks was still very weak. Although the wounds on his body had been treated, it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover. The most serious injuries were the tendons in his arms and legs that had been cut off. It would take about a month to reconnect them and restore their previous tenacity.
It was obvious that Trunks was worried about the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Due to the tendons in his arms and legs being cut off, he could only sit there limply like a disabled person, unable to move his limbs.
Fortunately, his eyes had gradually regained their luster. When he gazed up at the sky, his eyes seemed to be in deep thought. This meant that although his body had suffered heavy injuries, his mental state was still pretty good.
"Why did you come out? It's best for you to obediently stay inside and recuperate. Don't worry, the invaders have already returned in low spirits. Laureton will definitely not be able to do anything in the short term." Han Shuo landed beside Trunks and rebuked him.
"It's alright, I feel a little better now. Hehe, when the Soul Destroyer mercenary band is at its most critical moment, I'm not willing to hide inside and bitterly wait for news from others." Trunks said with a smile. He paused and slightly furrowed his brows, "Brian, is Florida already dead?"
Nodding his head, Han Shuo replied, "That's right. I know you wanted to kill him personally. However, Florida's death at this time was much more beneficial to us. With his death, the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band immediately fell apart, greatly reducing the number of our enemies. Therefore, I didn't let him go."
Trunks sighed and said ruefully, "Ai, it's a pity that I didn't finish him off personally. However, this kind of early death is indeed beneficial to us. If I had killed him earlier, then so many messy matters wouldn't have happened. It seems that this is all my fault."
"Apart from Florida, there's also Adam Menlo. These two are the pillars of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band and the House of Menlo. Their deaths have a huge impact on these two powers. Currently, including Laureton's forces, there are still three thousand people in the vicinity. However, I think they will leave very soon." Han Shuo explained to Trunks.
"You don't have to worry about the rest. I know you have a lot of things to do. Leave Lauretta to me. I'll take care of her, "Trunks said.
"It's just Laureton. I can take care of him in passing. It won't take up too much of my time." Han Shuo looked at Trunks in astonishment. With his current injuries, he definitely wouldn't be able to fight you in the short term. Han Shuo was a little worried.
"Brian, the Valley of Sunshine has its own rules. If I want to convince others, I can't completely rely on your strength. Only by taking out the Cairo mercenary band and Laureton can I rightfully take control of the Valley of Sunshine and win the respect of others. "Trunks' face was still quite weak as he spoke resolutely.
Han Shuo was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and said, "But your body …"
"Heh heh, don't worry. I won't immediately deal with Laureton. Just as you said, with Laureton's personality, he wouldn't dare attack this place without complete confidence. Now that the House of Menlo's flying creatures have been killed by you, they definitely won't dare to attack in the short term.
We still have Gilbert here. As time passes, they'll definitely give up. Don't worry, after the previous pain, I won't be careless again. I'm confident that I can eradicate Laureton and the Cairo mercenary band! "Laureton said. Trunks looked very confident. After experiencing a cruel torture, there seemed to be something new in Trunks' body.
Han Shuo looked deeply at Trunks a few times after hearing his words. He was silent for a while before smiling, "Since you're so insistent, then I won't bother with the Valley of Sunshine anymore. However, if you encounter any difficulties, you must inform me as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, the Soul Destroyer mercenary band doesn't belong to me alone. I know what to do!" Trunks replied with a smile.
"Gilbert, you stay here and take good care of Trunks before he recovers!" Han Shuo looked at Gilbert and instructed.
"Understood, honored master." Gilbert guaranteed.
Since Trunks wanted to sit firmly on the throne of power in the Valley of Sunshine with his own abilities, he indeed couldn't rely on others for everything. Only by using the strength in his hands to eliminate the Cairo mercenary band, the most powerful force in the Valley of Sunshine, would he be able to truly obtain everyone's respect.
Han Shuo was surprised and also very appreciative that Trunks could have such thoughts and understanding. This meant that Trunks was indeed a talent. In addition, after saving Trunks this time, Han Shuo could see that Trunks had changed. He discovered that Trunks had become more resolute and ruthless, no longer neglecting or being merciful.
The lesson from last time had been too cruel. Trunks had experienced torment worse than death. Now, he no longer cared about any difficulties. Han Shuo saw this and suddenly understood that Trunks had asked Han Shuo to leave Laureton to him. Apart from using Laureton to sharpen his methods, Trunks also needed to use Laureton to hone his martial skills.
In the entire Valley of Sunshine, only Laureton was worthy of fighting him. If Han Shuo killed Laureton here, Trunks would lose his best opponent. Not only would he lose a lot of fun, he would also lose a turning point to break through. Only through Laureton would he be able to improve once again.
After understanding Han Shuo's thoughts, Han Shuo didn't insist on his own opinion and truly let go of the matters in the Valley of Sunshine. He bid farewell to Trunks and Gilbert on the same day and returned to the Cemetery of Death from the Valley of Sunshine.
When he arrived at the Cemetery of Death, Han Shuo followed his original purpose of exploring the lower levels.
The reason why he had returned to the Cemetery of Death through the transportation matrix this time was because of Wolf's words. If it wasn't for Gilbert's sudden urgent message, Han Shuo would have long since explored the third layer of the Cemetery of Death. Now that he had returned, Han Shuo didn't forget his proper business and went straight to the bottom of the Cemetery of Death.
With his previous experiences, Han Shuo once again explored the Cemetery of Death with ease. Under the infusion of Han Shuo's mental strength, he easily broke through the boundaries of the upper two layers. Han Shuo only stopped when he sensed the existence of the boundary at the entrance of the passageway leading to the third layer.
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo slowly condensed his mental strength and explored the area where the boundary existed.
"Boom …"
As soon as Han Shuo's mental strength touched that area, his brain suddenly shook. A huge force suddenly surged over, squeezing into Han Shuo's brain like thousands of little snakes, giving Han Shuo an endless numbing pain.
Fortunately, Han Shuo was already experienced. He hastily held his breath and concentrated, using an even stronger mental strength to blast it in an attempt to break through the boundary like the previous two times. The three-colored light of the skeletal staff in his hand shone brightly.
"Bam!"
Han Shuo suddenly rammed into it, but the boundary didn't break. Instead, it was Han Shuo himself who was bounced back. Just as Han Shuo was overwhelmed with shock, the power that had squeezed into Han Shuo's brain like thousands of little snakes suddenly went from chaotic to orderly, combining into rays of bright magical symbols.
Han Shuo, who had studied necromancy magic for a long time, was greatly astonished when the magical symbols appeared in his brain. Immediately afterwards, the three-colored light of the skeletal staff in his hand suddenly grew brighter. Three strands of demonic light slowly drilled into Han Shuo's body through his arm.
The three-colored light flowed from the skeletal staff to Han Shuo's arm and flowed into Han Shuo's brain. When the light that matched the thousands of magical rays converged, they arranged themselves into paragraphs of incantations and messages that Han Shuo could understand.
Han Shuo only stared blankly for a moment before coming to a sudden realization. He hastily concentrated and forcibly memorized the messages that appeared in his brain. The paragraphs of incantations and messages were quickly imprinted into his brain. This process didn't take too long. With the development of Han Shuo's brain, he very quickly memorized the messages in his brain.
"If I don't become a sacred magus necromancer, the next layer of the boundary cannot be opened. Inside lies the secret of necromancers becoming gods …"
"The skeletal staff has three basic functions. Apart from the first function of doubling the power of magic, the other two functions require the coordination of incantations. The incantations are …"
"The Enchantment of Fear, Enchantment of Weakness, and Enchantment of Aging. The incantations and methods of using these three enchantments are …"
The magical symbols rotated in Han Shuo's brain and finally formed these three pieces of information. The first was that the sacred magus was unable to enter the next layer. The second was the incantations for the skeletal staff to return one's youth and travel through the netherworld. The last one was actually the long-lost Enchantment of Fear, Weakness, and Aging for necromancers.
The next layer actually contained the secret of necromancers becoming gods!
Han Shuo was greatly alarmed. He looked at the front that was only separated by a layer of boundary and was stunned by the information in his brain. He stood there in a daze for a long time, his mind in a mess of too many thoughts.
After a long, long time, Han Shuo finally calmed his chaotic emotions. He thought to himself that the first piece of information was still illusory to him. It was the second and third pieces of information that were of great use to him at present.
Among the three miraculous abilities of the skeletal staff, the ability to multiply the power of magic didn't require the coordination of other incantations. However, the miraculous ability to return one's youth and allow one's soul to freely travel through the netherworld weren't so simple to realize. Among them, traveling through the netherworld required the coordination of complicated magical incantations, as well as a precise understanding of one's own soul.
In order to successfully realize the miraculous ability to return one's youth, one needed to make use of the energy contained within the skeletal staff. This energy wasn't something that everyone could receive. Only those who were recognized by the skeletal staff would be able to make use of the energy contained within the skeletal staff.
Previously, Wolf obviously fulfilled this condition. According to what Wolf said, the followers of the Calamity Church all seemed to meet the requirements to be transformed by the skeletal staff. Those old fellows of the Calamity Church who had lived for god knows how many years would be able to use this energy to regain their youth.
The Boundary of Fear, Boundary of Weakness, and Boundary of Aging were the three large-scale magical boundaries of necromancers in the legends. Enemies who were enveloped by the Boundary of Fear would feel fear in their hearts. Their judgment and willpower would be greatly affected by the Boundary of Fear, causing them to greatly decline. As for the Boundary of Weakness, it could cause the enemy's physical strength to drain away, greatly reducing their battle strength.
The most frightening was the Boundary of Aging. However, this Boundary of Aging could only be used by a sacred magus necromancer. Necromancers who had reached the rank of sacred magus necromancer already had a very profound understanding of the soul. Once they used their enormous mental strength to cast the Boundary of Aging, any living being that entered it would accelerate the process of aging.
If the living being stayed in the Boundary of Aging for a certain period of time, the living being would directly die of old age. This was an extremely frightening and malicious magic. What it reduced was the most fundamental life force in the depths of the living being's soul. No matter how powerful the other party was, if they didn't have a high enough understanding of the soul, they would be powerless in this Boundary of Aging.
Among them, Han Shuo could practice the Boundary of Fear and the Boundary of Weakness right now. If these two types of boundaries were used together, they would have a stacking effect. When used together with the undead army of necromancers in a large-scale battle, it would simply be the nightmare of any army.
Perhaps it was because the power of these two boundaries was too frightening when used together with the undead army that they were eliminated by all the Magic Associations on the continent during the glorious era of necromancers. From then on, these three boundaries would forever disappear from the magic stage.
The Boundary of Aging could only be practiced by a sacred magus. Perhaps it was because the power of the Boundary of Aging was too frightening that Han Shuo couldn't stack it with the Boundary of Fear and the Boundary of Weakness.
No matter how powerful a living being was, once they fell into the Boundary of Aging, their body would rapidly age if they didn't immediately leave. Even if they immediately left the Boundary of Aging, their body would still be affected and age a part of it would never be able to recover.
However, the skeletal staff in Han Shuo's hands could restore the youth of those who aged within the Boundary of Aging. This Boundary of Aging could be considered as an orderly combination with the skeletal staff in Han Shuo's hands. It could often allow one's own people to enter the Boundary of Aging to intercept the enemy. After the enemy was defeated and died of old age, one could then use the skeletal staff to restore the youth lost in the Boundary of Aging.
The three major boundaries were the secret that necromancers had dominated the continent for many years. At this moment, the cultivation method and incantations were all imprinted into Han Shuo's mind.
