Chapter 391: 391 Black Sand

Chapter 391: Black Sand

Miz Crow rubbed her sleek, tiny black hands together, “Sir… the black magic I excel at isn’t strictly of the Crowman lineage, it has to do with my own individual traits as well.

It’s significantly more difficult to learn than other advanced spells.

You don’t have much time out of the city this round, are you sure you want to learn?”

“How about you show me first?”

Han Dong immediately ordered the Swollen Doctor to bring in a live ghoul, wanting to first see the effect.

“Sir, watch closely…”

Miz Crow extended a black arm.

The veins under the skin instantly bulged out, as if converging towards the palm.

Caw!

A black beak appeared in Miz Crow’s palm.

The fully opened black beak was filled with endless wriggling tentacle-like veins.

Squish squish!

When focused on the live ghoul five meters away.

The veins in the beak immediately arranged themselves into a circle, creating a substantial vortex between the veins.

“This!!!”

The scene that followed made Han Dong’s eyes pop with astonishment.

The ghoul had absolutely no ability to resist.

Threads of red life essence were forcibly pulled from the ghoul’s flesh.

After a short period of painful struggling, the robust ghoul turned into a mummified corpse.

“If we had encountered a demon like Miz Crow at the time of our Secret Stone incident… I’m afraid we would have suffered casualties, even total annihilation.

Indeed, there’s a power ranking amongst the demons.

Adelaide Rubble must have been a novice… Miz Crow must be considered an elder amongst her Crowman tribe.”

“Sir, what do you think?” Miz Crow asked.

“Good! Speaking of which, can you directly use the life essence you absorb to replenish yourself?”

Miz Crow nodded, “Yes, but there are significant limitations. I can inform you of the specific circumstances later… While this ability may seem powerful, there are many things that must be taken into consideration.”

“What about ‘Life Diversion’? I’m interested in spells that convert ‘life’ into ‘energy’… after all, sometimes I run out of energy.”

“I will perform it for you. Sir, please observe the conversion process within me with the Demon Eye on your forehead… The whole process will be completed within a second, so be sure to watch clearly.”

Miz Crow withdrew all of her feathery barriers so that Han Dong could observe her internal situation thoroughly.

Miz Crow’s energy storage core, similar to humans, is located within her brains, specifically stored within her three crowheads.

“Life Diversion”

All internal organs immediately produced nerve-like threads on their surfaces, connecting them with the three brains.

Instantly completed.

Miz Crow’s vitality visibly reduced while the energy depleted by the Life Absorption was completely replenished.

Quick, convenient, and can replenish energy instantaneously in critical moments.

“A portion of the life essence from all organs will be taken away.”

“Yes… Using ‘Life Diversion’ also requires gauging one’s own condition. However, with your strategic and plotting abilities, Sir, it should not be a problem.

Are you sure you want to learn? If so, we can get started immediately… Otherwise, I’m afraid we will run out of time.”

“Okay! Let’s begin.”

“Follow me to the graveyard area, sir… The practice process will consume quite a number of corpses, please have the doctor prepare at least 200 ghouls for your practice.”

“Hmm.”

“Please prepare yourself, sir. Because of the difference in our physiques,

learning this form of magic requires not only effort… when necessary, I might have to ‘cut skin and draw lines’ on you.”

“Alright!”

…

During these ten days, Han Dong basically stayed in the graveyard without going out.

His total sleep time didn’t even exceed 30 hours.

So this is what they mean when they say interest makes the effort worthwhile. Han Dong was deeply ‘infatuated’ with this new and strong thing… After ten days of training, Han Dong could finally perform the fundamental ‘Life Absorption’.

He could absorb life entities that were weaker than him within a one-meter distance.

The closer the distance, the better the effect.

However… Han Dong’s ultimate objective for leaving the city this time was accomplished.

The notion of fusing two different systems of black magic took shape for the first time… and the effect was remarkable.

Even Miz Crow the elder was amazed when she saw it.

…

Underground tomb chamber.

A ghoul was bound before him.

When Han Dong extended his left hand, a beak and indescribable vein tentacles didn’t emerge from his palm like they did for Elder Crow.

Hum~~

A ring of black text, originating from ancient Egypt and representing Life Absorption, formed in the air about an inch from his palm, indicating that the ‘entrance’ was established.

Accompanied by the rotation of the text, a large number of black miniature arms (similar to those of a 3~5-year-old child) materialized out of thin air. These arms reached into the ghoul and swiftly ‘grabbed’ its life essence out.

The speed was even faster than Elder Crow’s ‘Life Absorption’.

Besides, those subjected to Han Dong’s ‘Life Absorption’ turned directly into a pile of black rubble, leaving no chance of ‘recycling’.

“Incredible, this is the outcome of fusing Yellow Sand and Crow Magic… Worthy of the Yellow Robe’s Messenger, sir, your future is limitless.”

“Powerful… but the energy consumption is substantial.”

Han Dong felt somewhat dizzy, feeling as if his body was full of energy but his brain was completely empty.

“Sir, if you successfully Break the Breed, all the spells you currently master will undergo a qualitative transformation and can be used on long-terms… None of the knights of the same rank within the Holy City would be a match for you.” Elder Crow couldn’t help licking his lips.

Han Dong had never set his sights on knights of the same rank.

Squatting before the ghoul’s corpse as if deep in thought, he picked up a handful of black sand.

“Let’s talk about it after Breaking the Breed… speaking of which, the fusion of two different magic systems should create a unique type, right? How about calling it ‘Black Sand’? This system feels like it will have a bright future.”

“Hmm, definitely one of a kind.”

“Elder Miz, thank you for your hard work over these days.”

“It’s my honor! Sir, your carriage is ready outside.”

“Hmm.”

An utterly relaxed Han Dong, due to sheer fatigue, fell asleep standing.

Elder Crow had no ulterior motives, he immediately helped the sir into his carriage.

Mr. Black White’s exclusive vehicle was intuitive, even with Han Dong sound asleep, it knew its way back to the city… It also picked up another exhausted young man on a cliffside.

It carried both of them back to the city.

When the carriage entered the city.

Mr. Black White also appeared in the carriage, gazing at the two sleeping youngsters with a satisfied smile.
