"Ninety-five percent? Is it going back? "
While he was thinking, Freud's depravity continued to fall back to 90% at an extremely fast speed.
Then, it stopped at this position for more than ten minutes before it continued to fall.
This time, he fell even faster. It felt like he was falling straight down. Before he could react, he had already reached the bottom of the abyss.
When Freud's "corruption" reached 0 percent, all traces of corruption disappeared from his body, and he returned to his normal soul form.
Angor was sure that Freud was going to succeed this time.
After the depravity disappeared, there were no more difficulties. All that was left was to slowly digest the death aura in his body until he could use the first soul trick.
A day later, Freud's death aura was almost gone, but he still hadn't woken up.
"He still hasn't mastered the soul technique even after using up all his death aura?" Angor was surprised. Normally, Freud would only need to consume about 70 to 80 percent of his death aura to learn the first soul trick.
But when he thought about it, he felt that it was reasonable. After all, Freud learned the first soul trick from Lady Shila, and it was only natural that such a trick would consume a lot of death aura.
"Ness told me that Freud can't handle this on his own. First, I need to remove the spirit barrier around Freud." Angor waved a hand and removed the barrier around Freud.
"Second, I need Freud to absorb death aura from the outside world. Otherwise, Freud's soul energy will start to run out, and he'll end up sucking himself dry."
As soon as the barrier was removed, death aura began to gather around Freud's body.
However, Freud's soul was already in perfect condition, so the death aura was only floating around Freud's body.
"Third, I need to enlighten Freud's soul."
Angor took a step forward and appeared next to Freud. He placed a finger on Freud's forehead and created a wound that reached the core of Freud's soul. The wound quickly became the entrance for the death aura to enter Freud's body. A large amount of death aura was absorbed by Freud's body.
Angor sighed in relief when he was sure that Freud's cultivation would start again.
This method seemed simple and straightforward, but it also tested the trust between the soul being enlightened and the protector. Any hesitation on either side would result in failure.
Luckily, Lucien and Freud trusted each other completely. If it were anyone else, Lucien wouldn't have been able to do it.
Half a day later, Freud finally stopped absorbing death qi from the outside world. This meant that he had enough death qi for his soul cultivation.
Angor also set up a new spirit barrier around Freud to prevent any accidents from happening due to excessive death aura.
Now, Angor's job as Freud's protector was done. The only thing left to do was to wait for Freud to wake up.
Two hours later, Freud slowly opened his eyes at the first light of the morning sun.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two green flames dancing in them. But soon, Freud's calmed down again.
Freud didn't look any different than he did three days ago. His soul hadn't changed at all.
However, all the death aura around Freud's body was gone.
Freud's gloomy expression also brightened up. It was a strange way to describe a dead soul as "bright", but Angor felt that way.
Also, without the restriction of death qi, the upper limit of Freud's soul core would be expanded. This meant that Freud's bottleneck had been broken, and he wouldn't face any more obstacles in the near future.
Now that he was sure Freud was fine, he wondered what kind of soul trick Freud learned from Lady Seira.
Most likely, it was the Dead Souls Vision. When Madam Shila dealt with Little Sam in Star Lake Castle, she used Dead Soul Vision.
But even so, Freud believed that Dead Souls Vision was different from the normal ones.
However, Angor had no idea what the difference would be for now. Lady Shila was only toying with Sam, and she didn't use the Dead Souls Vision at all.
Angor had to wait for Freud's explanation.
Half an hour later, Freud finished healing the wound between his eyebrows and bowed to Angor. "Thank you for your help, mister."
"So, what's the soul trick you got this time?" Angor waved his hand and quickly asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time.
"Dead Souls Vision."
He was more interested in the difference between the Dead Soul Shroud and the normal Dead Soul Shroud.
Freud was about to explain when Angor cut him off. "You don't have to explain. Just use it on me and I'll feel it myself."
Freud nodded and activated the little trick hidden in the core of his soul.
In his vision, he saw strange soul ripples appearing around Freud's body. When the ripples passed through his body, Angor could feel the space around him fluctuating slightly.
Angor looked around and saw that he was still standing on the altar with Freud beside him. Nothing seemed to have changed.
He considered for a moment and began to walk down the stairs. However, he noticed that the stairs kept extending away from him, which meant that he would never be able to get down from there.
The Flare spell above his head allowed him to see the stairs clearly. If the target's senses were blocked by pure darkness, he would be lost forever.
This was the Dead Souls Vision.
As Jon put it, it was like "going around in circles".
As an illusionist, Angor could easily see through the Dead Souls Vision, so it wasn't difficult for him to break it.
However, he didn't do it right away. Instead, he kept observing the Dead Souls Vision because he couldn't find anything special about it.
But he still couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Mister, why don't you keep going down the stairs?" Freud's voice came from behind.
Angor knew it was Freud's suggestion.
Angor didn't insist and followed Freud's suggestion. Without removing the Dead Souls Barrier, the staircase looked like it had an infinite number of steps.
After about a hundred steps, Angor sensed something different, but it wasn't obvious.
Another hundred steps later, Angor stopped. The strange movement of his soul finally made him realize that something was wrong.
"As long as one is trapped in the Dead Soul Barrier, one can affect the Soul Land?" After taking 200 steps inside the Dead Souls Barrier, he could clearly feel the souls in his Soul Space getting restless.
If he didn't stop it, his soul would be dragged out of his body.
So this was what Freud's Dead Souls Vision did?
Angor looked at Freud, who nodded. "Yes. As long as the target can't break the Dead Souls Vision, his soul will be dragged out of his body and continue to be trapped in the Dead Souls Vision."
Freud paused for a second before he continued, "But it's only effective for low-ranked apprentices and mortals. Advanced apprentices will be able to sense the changes in the Soul Land and won't be able to walk through the Soul Deceit. It won't work on wizards at all. "
"Killing someone without making a sound … Kind of like an illusion," Angor muttered. Angor considered. "Looks like little Sam got lucky. If Lady Shira didn't want to torture him, he would have died from the Soul Detachment effect."
Angor believed that the Dead Souls Vision was a good one. It was basically a level-3 cantrip that combined control, escape, and attack.
It might not be able to take away a level-3 apprentice's soul, but it could at least trap them and prevent them from leaving.
Freud's Dead Souls Vision was already as good as "Dream Reading".
As expected of a special undead ability.
"The Dead Souls Vision is only the first special ability of the Dead Souls Vision."
"You're saying that Dead Souls Shroud has a second ability?" Angor looked at him in surprise.
Freud nodded. Angor didn't ask further. He tried to sense the Dead Souls Vision again, but he couldn't find anything special.
If he could not sense anything special about it, there could only be one explanation.
"The second special ability will only work after the Dead Souls Vision is activated?"
"Yes." Freud nodded. "I can possess the body of a person whose soul has left his body in my Dead Soul Vision."
Angor raised his head in surprise. "Possession? Soul Detachment and possession? "
"Yes." Freud nodded again. "But it's different from the Dead Souls Vision. Since the soul of the original owner has already left, the body I possess is already half-dead. It's more like a living dead. For a short period of time, the body will be no different from a normal person. But as time goes by, the body will die together with the soul. When that happens, I'll have to leave as well."
Freud shrugged. "I don't see any advantage in possessing a body. The only benefit is that it allows me to experience the beauty of life before my body dies. For example, I can taste the delicious food of the living."
Freud's explanation told Angor that the Dead Souls Vision had a lot of limitations, but it was still a special ability.
Dead Souls Vision came with two follow-up abilities. To put it simply, the Dead Souls Vision basically had three different Dead Souls Vision. Freud might not think that the Dead Souls Vision was useful for now, but there were things that could be done by living beings that couldn't be done by undead souls. Even if the Dead Souls Vision could only enjoy the life of a living person for a short period of time, it was still much better than being an undead.
Also, if he could share his soul with another person, like how Greya did with another person's body, the body would not die from exhaustion. However, it was difficult to find someone willing to share their soul with another person. Freud's soul was not as strong as Greya's, so he could easily take over another person's body.
"No matter what, it's already a perfect soul trick. It'll help you a lot. "
Freud nodded. He knew that he had gained a great deal this time, and he would have to make it up to Sam when the time came.
"Now that we've learned the Dead Souls Vision trick, we should leave now. Star Lake Castle has been quite lively these days. "
Freud didn't know what "lively" Angor was talking about, but he didn't ask. He would find out later.
Freud deactivated the Dead Souls Vision and followed Angor out of the underground cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Freud paused for a moment and looked back at the altar. "The aura of death here is like an ocean. I can't even touch the total amount of aura of death here …"
"Yeah. Alda and Sunny can come here to learn the Dead Souls Vision trick as well. But you'll have to protect them."
"Got it." Freud nodded.
Alda and Sunny would learn the Dead Souls Vision trick step by step, and Freud was more than enough to be their protector.
"Let's go," Angor said and disappeared into the dark tunnel.
Freud quickly followed behind him.
…
When they returned to Star Lake Castle, Freud finally understood why Angor said the place was "lively".
Neya showed up at Star Lake Castle with two young men and a young woman who clearly looked noble.
Neya was currently urging the two of them to clean up the Star Lake Castle while taking care of Little Sam's three meals a day.
Freud and Neya asked around and learned that the two young men were the new king and future queen of the Silver Heron Kingdom.
Neya brought them here because she wanted to resolve the grudge between her and Sam's family.
Neya had already learned from Freud how Sam killed Mrs. Shila. Neya admired Sam's wisdom and decisiveness.
Also, Neya could tell that Angor treated Sam well.
Sam would join Brute Cavern in the future. He was already a smart kid, and Angor valued him greatly. If Sam could learn something from Angor, he might become a wizard in the future.
Neya was troubled by the fact that Sam, who was also a descendant of Saint Sam, hated the current royal family because of what happened in the previous generation.
Neya couldn't kill Sam while Angor and Freud were watching over her, so she had to find a way to resolve the grudge between them.
The two young men were nobles of the current royal family, and they used to be good friends with Sam when they were still children.
Therefore, Neya brought them here.
Freud didn't say anything about Neya's decision. As an outsider, he didn't want to get involved in the business of Saint Sam's descendants.
However, he still owed Little Sam a favor. He thought for a while and said to Neya, "As an outsider, I'm not in a position to comment on your family's grievances. But think about it from Sam's perspective. Do you think you can resolve the grudge of your family's death with just some nice words and a little pitiful act of cleaning the castle? Do you really think you can do such a thing? "
"Even if Sam agrees now, when he grows up and thinks about what happened today, do you think he'll feel like he was fooled by you?"
Freud's words were quite obvious. How could Sam forgive him if he only knew how to talk and kidnap him without giving him any benefits?
Freud only wanted to help Young Semper gain some benefits. Neya was an apprentice, but as a member of the royal family who secretly controlled the entire Land of Revelation, she must have a lot of resources.
A little of it was enough for Little Sam to digest in the early stage.
Of course, it was up to Sam whether to forgive him or not. Even if Sam didn't forgive him, it didn't prevent him from getting benefits, which was what Sam deserved.
With that, Freud went back to his room and ignored Neya. He still had a lot of work to do in the dream wasteland.
