Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

Chapter 52 Little Axi-Ghost

First, fill up the summoning spell runes for the undead.

As soon as he thought of it, Wei En opened the panel and selected the summoning spell rune to add points.

1/1,

[Undead summoning spell rune level 1 (1/1), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your knowledge of runes: the summoning spell runes of the undead have been upgraded to level 2. Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 20%. 】

[Undead summoning spell rune level 9 (9/9), should it be improved? 】

[Congratulations, your knowledge of runes: the summoning spell runes of the undead have reached the full level. Effect: The success rate of drawing this rune is 100%. 】

[Congratulations on obtaining a full-level rune knowledge. Your entry-level rune advancement progress is: 2/10. Special reward: Spirit level +1. 】

After the undead summoning spell rune reached full level, all the details about the rune emerged one by one in front of Wei En's eyes.

He can find the starting point and end point of those entangled lines and nodes, as well as the best way to deal with them.

Um?

What can be optimized?

Wei En looked at the rune patterns in his mind and silently calculated, one place, two places, three places... a total of twenty-three rune nodes that can be optimized?

Most of them add one or two extended loops next to important nodes.

"What's happening here?"

Although he had found some areas that could be simplified when the Soul-Eating Rune was at full level, there were only two places in the Soul-Eating Rune.

But there are twenty-three places in this undead summoning spell rune that can be simplified.

Wayne didn't know if these were mistakes, if they had any purpose, or if there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

But several situations can be roughly deduced.

One is that the school hides its secrets and provides these intelligence officers with castrated versions of the rune diagrams.

The second is to deliberately add these errors and omissions to ensure that the core runes of the school are not leaked and to form absolute control.

The last situation is that there has been a problem with this rune from the beginning...either the rune knowledge is not enough, the rune diagram is rough, or there is an ulterior motive.

That is what is commonly called - opening the back door.

Thinking like this, Wayne took out his quill and tried to eliminate these problematic circuits one by one.

After nearly an hour, the new undead summoning spell rune finally presented to him was only half the size of the original.

At the same time, with the analysis and elimination, his understanding of the new rune diagrams deepened.

Clearly know which part of them are the rune nodes of the contracted undead, which ones are the rune nodes that act on the original sub-body, and a small number of nodes involved in summoning...

"The extra parts are enough to make a new rune."

Wei En thought for a moment, then restored the removed parts of the circuits again, spliced ​​them together one by one according to the original connecting nodes and lines, and then removed the parts that belonged to the summons of the undead.

"It is indeed a new rune."

I saw that the reassembled rune pattern in front of me was not complicated, and could even be said to be extremely simple.

The whole is a standard six-pointed star, with a total of twelve large nodes and eighteen small nodes.

But in the center of the six-pointed star, there are hundreds of intertwined lines that strangely form the pattern of an eye, making the entire rune pattern look very strange.

Wei En looked at the rune and frowned. He didn't recognize the rune and didn't know its function...

At this time, a new prompt message flashed on the panel, the color was blood red.

[You successfully drew the original rune of Death God Oranael. Special rewards: +5 survival points, +2 spiritual level, +2 toughness level. 】

[You learned the name of Olanel, the God of Death, Olanel’s awakening progress +1, and the current progress is 3/? ? . Special reward: Origin +1. 】

[Note: The original rune effect of Olanel, the God of Death, can be borrowed from a trace of the original power of Olanel, the God of Death, to enhance the effect of the blessed rune. 】

Immediately afterwards, some information about the effectiveness of the runes appeared in his mind.

"The original rune of Death God Oranael?"

You can borrow the original power of Death God Olanel... Awesome!

Apart from being awesome, he couldn't find a more appropriate word to describe his mood at the moment.

Wei En stared at the rune picture in his hand and murmured: "What kind of existence is the person who created the undead summoning rune, and he is so big?"

A title like "The God of Death" is obviously not something that ordinary necromancers can covet.

How awesome does one have to be to dare to draw such runes and steal... ah no, borrowing the original power of the God of Death?

Not only that, the prompt message on the panel also made it clear to Wei En that the original summoning spell rune of the undead did indeed open a backdoor.

But this is definitely not a conspiracy theory, but the benefits that the ancestors actually seek for them.

That ancestor is a truly invincible boss-level figure.

In addition, there is another thing that worries Wei En——

That is the name of the God of Death, Olanel. Even fewer people know it than Gonzalez. Counting him, there are only three people who know the name of the God of Death...

If Wei En guessed correctly, the other two cliffs are not "people"!

"Now here comes the question. I know the same secret as two awesome beings. Does that mean I am also awesome?"

The answer is obvious - the panel is the best.

If it weren't for the panel prompts, maybe he would have started imprinting the true castrated version of the undead summoning rune by now.

If that were the case, he wouldn't even be able to find a place to cry...

Facts have proved that curiosity can exist, but one cannot arbitrarily deny the greatness of predecessors.

However, Wayne knew it very well.

He couldn't do anything but keep these secrets in his stomach.

He can't be allowed to announce the names of Death God Olanel and Gonzalez to the world, right?

Doing so can indeed speed up the awakening progress of these two big guys, but it will definitely bring endless disasters to him.

There are many ways to die, but you can’t be so eager to seek death, right?

After a while, Wei En dispelled these random thoughts and said, "What are you thinking about so much? Improving your strength is the most important thing."

Now that he has learned the undead summoning spell runes, the next step is to complete the rune branding on little Axi.

In this way, he can use the summoning spell of the undead.

"Which one should be branded first?"

Wei En looked at the little Assi who were floating in the air and sped up their mouths after noticing his "malicious" gaze.

"Baba?"

"Then it's you."

Wei En looked at little Axi who spoke and showed a "kind" smile, "Here, let me show you something good."

In this kind of thing, whoever speaks first has the advantage.

Moreover, this little Axi had the deepest feelings when he followed him. As the original child of the necromancy system, it couldn't be more suitable.

The little Axis still scattered and ran away, "No, no..."

But this time Wei En's goal was more clear. He grabbed the head and began to imprint the undead summoning spell runes.

This time the branding process was smoother than the last time.

Wei En easily imprinted the complete version of the undead summoning spell rune on the back of little Axi's head, and finally formed a new rune pattern next to the soul-devouring rune between his eyebrows.

It's just that compared to the soul-eating rune pattern, the undead summoning spell rune pattern is several times smaller.

To be more precise, it is only one-tenth the size of the soul-eating rune pattern.

When everything was over, Wei En waited for a moment and felt relieved when he saw that nothing abnormal happened.

In fact, the last time he imprinted the soul-devouring spell rune, the severe pain left a big shadow on him.

Fortunately, this time, nothing like that happened.

Then Wei En grabbed little Axi and looked at it carefully, especially the difference between the two rune patterns.

"Is this the difference between core runes and spell system runes?"

At this time, little Axi opened his mouth timidly, "I, I..."

"Um?"

I saw that little Axi's eyes were no longer as ignorant as before, but a little more agile.

Wayne asked tentatively: "Are you calling me daddy?"

"I'm calling Baba," little Asi grinned and turned around with joy, "Baba, Baba..."

"You've really become smarter. What else can you say?"

Wei En was also overjoyed, this shows that little Axi can grow!

"Say something else, say something else..."

"Don't repeat what I said! Let me ask you, what do I usually call you?"

"Baba?"

A blue vein appeared on Wei En's forehead, and his fist wrapped with spiritual power hit it on the forehead, "I'm asking what your name is?"

Little Axi covered his head and looked at him aggrievedly: "Huh, Baba?"

"never mind."

Wei En had no choice but to give up. It seemed that it was impossible to get the dog to admit that his name was Little Axi.

However, we can't just let it go...

"From today on, your name will be...Ghost."

Ghost, taken from ghost and undead, means the necromancy system of the ghost school, which is also the name given to this little Axi.

"ghost?"

"Yes, Ghost is your name. From today on, you are Ghost, and Ghost is you."

Little Axi's expression was confused at first, and then after getting the definite answer, he became extremely happy, flying around another little Axi, "Ghost, Ghost, my name is Ghost..."

The other little Assi looked at them blankly as before, obviously not understanding the changes.

After watching it for a while, it continued to swallow the power of the elements and meditate, "Rixi..." (Despair...)

Wei En looked at the ghost with satisfaction, it was still teachable.

At least there was no stupid question like 'What is a ghost?'

Then he opened the panel and looked through it, wanting to see the specific effects of the necromancy spell.

[You have successfully branded the undead summoning spell rune and learned the undead summoning spell, level 1. Rating: The great wizard starts out roughly like this. Special rewards: +1 spiritual level, +2 survival points. 】

[Note 1: The effect of the undead summoning spell: it can contract to summon undead creatures. 】

[Note 2: For level 1 undead summoning spells, you can choose level 1 undead creatures whose contract spirit level does not exceed yourself. Skeleton warriors, ghosts and more. 】

"I see……"

Before, he was still thinking about the criteria for matching the level of spells with the levels of undead creatures.

But now Wei En knew that the decision was based on his spiritual level. As long as his spiritual level limit is not exceeded, he can perform contract summoning.

His spiritual level has reached 39.2, and he doesn't know the strength of the undead creatures he can contract with.

In the skill column, the survival points required to upgrade from level 1 to level 2 of the summoning undead spell are 5 points, which is the same as the survival points required for the soul-devouring spell.

After thinking for a moment, Wei En directly chose to add points.

It is a very simple truth that the effect of level 2 spells is definitely higher than that of level 1 spells.

Summon the Undead Spell Level 1 (1/5), Summon the Undead Spell Level 1 (2/5)...

[Undead Summoning Spell Level 1 (5/5), should it be improved? 】

【promote. 】

[Congratulations, your skill: Summoning the Undead Spell has been upgraded to level 2. Effect: You can choose level 2 undead creatures whose contract spirit level does not exceed yourself. 】

The Level 2 Undead Summoning Spell is the same as the Soul Devouring Spell. Upgrading to Level 3 also requires 50 survival points.

"Summoning the Undead...I wonder what kind of creatures can be contracted?"

Wei En licked his lips, and then with a thought, the spiritual power was connected through the source, triggering the undead summoning spell rune on the ghost's head.

The little Assi-ghost floating on his shoulder had a solemn expression, and opened his mouth and spat out a sentence in Gonzalez, "Diagulaga!" (Summoning of the Dead!)

As the spell reverberated, a rune circle rose from the ground,

Energy flows between the rune arrays, forming a bridge connecting the world of the undead. A black vortex slowly surrounds the center of the array, and gradually emits a gloomy aura.

Immediately afterwards, several strange black shadows slowly appeared...
