Chapter 97 An Su Begins to Torment the Dead Souls
"Boss." Bone scratched his own skull, "Three minutes might be too little. I can't teach much."
"I have a very efficient method. Just don't resist," An Su responded.
An Su took a small knife and gently sliced the tip of his finger, squeezing out a drop of blood, which he smeared on the crown of Bone's skull.
The blood acted as a catalyst, and instantly, Bone felt its spirit connected with An Su's.
Information could be transmitted through mind-voice.
This was an initial-stage spell that An Su had newly acquired from the Painful Esoteric Altar, called "Friendly Pain Message."
"Friendly Pain Message"
"Pain-Related Magic"
"Initial Auxiliary Category"
"Magic Power Consumption: Two (originally four)"
"Using blood as a contract, establish a mental communication with a teammate, sharing status, significantly improving the rate of information exchange. Moreover, the greater the pain one side is in, the stronger the signal and the more efficient the information transmission is."
"Note: Pain is the proof of friendship!"
Very characteristic of the Painful Esoteric Sect.
Bone discovered it could now communicate with An Su using mind-voice, and the speed of information exchange was about three times the usual. Taking that into account, three minutes of teaching became nine minutes.
"Nine minutes is barely enough." Bone chuckled, "It's a pity we're not in pain now. Otherwise, it could be even faster."
An Su watched it with a smile.
The High-Rank Priest suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, "An Boss?"
"Illumination Skill"
An Su then employed a very low-rank Holy Light magic,
However, this magic was used on An Su himself, and the sacred halo quickly illuminated his entire body,
For a moment, An Su looked like the Saint Heir descended from the gods, especially with the innocent smile at the corner of his mouth, which was particularly reminiscent of the Holy Light.
"Holy Light Magic"
"Initial Auxiliary Series"
"Magic Power Consumption: Two (originally one)"
"Effect: Create a source of light with Holy Light, which can be used for basic illumination, and at the same time, Holy Light also has a certain effect on dispersing spirits."
"Note: Where the light shines, darkness can't hide."
"..."
Bone was dumbfounded.
If it were just the Illumination Skill, no matter how much was cast on it, it wouldn't be afraid, being a High-Rank undead, and naturally immune to such trivial things due to its passive magic resistance;
But it had foolishly made a blood contract with An Su just now, sharing statuses, and the Illumination Skill was used on An Su himself.
The Holy Light easily entered An Su's body and then shared this Holy Light state with the Priest.
With a very smooth combo, it bypassed the magic resistance of its exterior.
"Hiss hiss hiss—Ahhhhhh."
It felt as if its insides were nearly being burnt by the Holy Light, and it cried out in pain.
An initial auxiliary magic, even after penetrating the magic resistance, couldn't possibly cause Bone any harm.
But it hurt!
The pain Bone felt instantly strengthened the signal of "Friendly Pain Message," and their mental communication became even more efficient, skyrocketing by ten times, moving from 3G signal straight into the 5G era, turning three minutes of teaching time into half an hour.
"A pain value of five from the High-Rank Priest has been added."
"..." Bone stared at An Su lifelessly, its facial bones even manifesting a look of grievance—it was hard to imagine a skeletal frame could exhibit such expressive emotions.
"All right, we have half an hour now," An Su still wore that innocent smile, speaking to it in his mind.
"What would you like to learn?" asked Bone in its mind.
"Custom magic." An Su said,
"After reaching the Third Order saint, one can try to write their own Holy Light magic book. I'm a novice right now, and since you come from ancient times as a Life Priest, you must possess a lot of knowledge overlooked by the ages."
An Su was eager to learn.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He wanted to amalgamate the strengths of hundreds—it was actually about cobbling together.
Bone was a Demigod in its previous life, so its skill in creating custom magic was certainly very strong.
Creating custom magic in the past world was somewhat nonsensical.
Frankly, it was all about drawing cards,
Based on player talent, knowledge as the foundation, consuming experience, consuming materials, to synthesize magic.
Sometimes it was a fluke, sometimes divine.
If one created a high-quality rare magic, it could even be presented to the corresponding goddess and become an official blessed magic.
In the future, whenever a saint exchanges faith points for this magic, they will be able to extract at least ten percent in commission.
But surely the game and the real world are different; it won't be as simple as drawing cards.
That's why An Su says he's a beginner.
"Beginner... more like a newborn, right?"
Bone looked at An Su and thought to himself, then realized, startled, that now his thoughts were connected to An Su's—weren't his words going to reach the boss?
[Illumination Skill]
An Su felt the light was too dim and harmful for his eyes, so he cast Illumination Skill on himself again.
Suddenly his head was as bright as a lightbulb, and Bone felt even more pain. Their bond of friendship became even stronger.
[Suffering from a Priest of the Saint Rank increases by one]
An Su didn't deny that he was a newcomer; in fact, he quite agreed with this view, so to better corroborate Bone's statement, he cast another light—everything for the sake of their friendship.
"The creation of magic is essentially based on imitation."
Bone decided to re-establish some of the Demigod's dignity, having once been the Azure Sorceress, who was best known for creating magic. Bone was very confident when discussing this field,
"The essence of magic is magic power working through different circuits, matching and colliding to produce various effects. Each magic has its own unique magic corridor."
"The more complex the magic corridor, the higher the rank of magic. Initial stage magic has one to three corridors, intermediate stage magic has four to ten, and High-Rank has more than ten."
"To learn to create your own magic, you must first trace the simplest magic corridors;"
"At the same time, even if you imitate the same corridor, the result will differ slightly due to your talent, knowledge, and experience, and these deviations are uncontrollable, sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"Moreover, using your own created magic will not be affected by reductions due to one's physical condition."
Essentially, the epic magic [Holy Light Praise] that An Su obtained from the Nether World could also be considered his own creation, an invention based on his experiences in the Nether World.
"To use humanity's skills to imitate the blessings of gods is called creation."
"To create, we must start with imitation," Bone said, "You can try to trace the simplest [Illumination Skill], which only has two corridors. Let's see if you can replicate it."
It extended its palm, and light traced through the air, sketching two magnificent routes out of nothing.
Bone, in its previous life, was truly of Demigod Level. It understood the construction of the Illumination Skill's circuits at a glance and displayed them.
It was just a mere Illumination Skill. An Su believed that with his talent for Holy Light, he would certainly be able to do it.
The actual operation could not be included in the telepathic communication.
It needed to be timed with the normal flow of time.
But An Su was quick in his actions.
Children of the Curse are geniuses in the use of magic power.
An Su controlled the magic power, tracing slowly along those routes; his talent in this area was not bad, and he quickly constructed the two corridors before slowly fusing them together.
It only took him two minutes of real time to initially construct the corridors.
Forty seconds remained until the summoning ended. In the space of telepathic communication, seven minutes were left.
What followed entered an unpredictable realm.
His knowledge, experiences, and talents—all were variables.
"I did it," An Su announced happily.
Bone Priest also showed surprise. An Su was indeed a genius; he had succeeded on his first try. Bone hurried to check.
[X-ray Illumination Skill]
[Unknown Property]
[Magic Power Consumption: One]
[Novice Healing White Magic]
[Effect: Creates a source of X-rays that can be used for comprehensive lesion detection, while the X-rays also have a certain radiation effect on the human body]
[Note: Mr. An Su Moningsta is a devout follower of Holy Light. After many years of research, he discovered that Holy Light is divided into many kinds, among which X-rays are a rare branch of Holy Light]
"..."
Bone Priest stared at An Su as if he were looking at an Evil God from another realm.
An Su looked somewhat embarrassed.
In his previous life, he studied medicine for five years and turned to gaming only after abandoning that path.
His brain contained a wealth of knowledge in that area.
This variable had affected the creation of magic.
At the same time, he realized many pieces of knowledge and experiences from his previous life were unprecedented in this world.
"Would the Church be willing to accept this... What kind of magic is this considered...?" An Su asked uneasily, "Radiance Series?"
Bone remained silent for a long while before finally squeezing out a phrase,
"Consider it An Su's own Series."
