Chapter 378: Chapter 216 Visitors from the International League_1

Crow wings, bird beak, dark color, red pupils, and surrounded by strange life forces and curse energies...

If Lu Ran were to don the Necromancer Saint Robe and wear a hood right now, his current image would somewhat resemble the medieval plague doctors.

Lu Ran felt quite helpless. He was a good person originally, but the abilities of these Pet Beasts were dragging him further and further away from that image.

However, he only felt slightly dejected for a moment before his face broke into a smile. Is this what Necromantic Parasitism feels like? It’s vastly different from a Flame Spirit’s possession.

The Undead Dark Crow’s level was of a 30-level Lower Overlord, so when it possessed Lu Ran, the combat power he could exhibit would undoubtedly exceed that level.

Otherwise, possession would not be regarded as the staple skill of necromancers and the necro system.

Sigh!

A clump of grey-black Flame rose in Lu Ran’s palm. Seeing this, Lu Ran’s mouth spread into an even wider grin.

After studying Soul Flame for quite some time, he had finally mastered it!

Letting the Dark Crow possess him and turning himself into an undead Human, this special ability came to fruition quite naturally. His life force and the Flame Spirit merged effortlessly, without him having to exert much energy.

Unlike normal flames, the distinctive trait of the Soul Fire is that it can viciously incinerate a soul... bypassing the flesh directly to attack the soul.

Of course, Lu Ran had been diligently learning this over the past half-month, not to gain the means to attack souls.

For targeting souls, he already had enough with Mr. Husky’s Soul-Slashing Sword Intent and his own Mind Sword Intent. The real reason was that Soul Fire is an indispensable ability for practicing the Soul Forging Method.

The Soul Forging Method is an exclusive forging technique of the Necromancy Cult, developed by the Cult’s Forging Masters after studying various traces within the Legendary Secret Realm.

The biggest difference between this method and ordinary forging is that the Soul Forging Method no longer relies on external tools.

For example, when regular Beast Trainers are forging weapons and equipment, the final step of inscribing inscriptions requires the power of an Inscription Stone, which cannot be overlooked.

However, with the Soul Forging Method, the Inscription Stone can be discarded. The Forging Master can use Soul Power directly in place of the Inscription Stone to imprint on the soul, perfecting the equipment!

Not only does this not reduce the effect, but it actually enhances it.

In addition, the Necro Sect has developed a special inscription, which, when engraved onto weapons and equipment, can endow the Weapon with the ability to cultivate an Artifact Spirit.

Although at that point in time, the Necro Sect had not yet successfully cultivated a weapon with an Artifact Spirit, this was because the method had just been researched and absorbing an Artifact Spirit takes time. Hence, Lu Ran had not witnessed any results.

While he hadn’t witnessed the birth of an Artifact Spirit in the Breakthrough Secret Realm, Lu Ran had already mastered the entire Cultivating Instrument Spirit process. As long as he forged a weapon with Soul Forging, he could find a place and cultivate it himself!

...

A day later.

The undead incident continued to ferment.

Lu Ran received a reminder from Doctor Gu, "People from the International League will arrive in Xia Country tomorrow, be prepared."

"They seem to have brought a Necromancer to verify."

"It’s someone who used to be planted as a spy in the Reaper by the International League."

Lu Ran said, "Alright, understood."

Lu Ran chuckled to himself, knowing that there were Necromancers within the International League as well.

Today, the construction of the International Beast Training Alliance is more or less led by a few large countries, joined by countless smaller nations.

Of course, there are also a number of stateless Beast Trainers. Most of these Beast Trainers, originating from minor countries and possessing considerable strength, will abandon their national ties when they realize the resources of their small countries are insufficient to benefit them, treating the International League as their second home instead, climbing within this large organization to seek more benefits.

The collective strength of these stateless Beast Training forces is significant enough that even the larger countries cannot ignore them. Now, they have become an important faction within the International League.

In such a chaotic faction situation, against organizations like the Reaper, naturally, there would be different policies involving a new attribute—spy within the Reaper could be anything but few.

"Great, I’ve finally collected a thousand teeth!!!"

Ending the call, Lu Ran laughed wildly, no longer concerning himself with those matters, instead focusing his attention on Mr. Husky.

"Woof," Mr. Husky, who was shaking his head with a rare quality Space Attribute divine sword in its mouth, chimed in.

With constant practice in energy compression, collecting teeth had been quick.

At the moment, the sword he held, named the Void-Slashing Sword, was something Lu Ran obtained from Master Lin.

It was to familiarize Mr. Husky with the spatial attribute, to make learning the Sword Field more convenient.

"Leave it to me."

"In a couple of days, I will forge a Divine Sword for you!"

Lu Ran patted Mr. Husky’s head and was just about to turn around and ponder over the forging when another call came through.

It was Pig Hero!

This is Old Pig’s nickname within the twelve signs.

Lu Ran answered the call, and before he could say anything, the person on the other end said, "Hehe, little bro, good news, I’ve found an exceptionally suitable World’s Rare Resource for you from a foreign buddy!"

"I begged and pleaded, and he finally agreed to hand it over to me."

"!!!" Lu Ran was startled.

Old Pig had good relationships!

Meanwhile, Mr. Husky also perked up its ears—resource?! Surely this time it was meant for him?

Mr. Husky’s mouth curled up, eyes narrowing, displaying a look of sagacity.

"Guess what it is?"

"Forget it, I won’t keep you guessing, weren’t you saying you wanted to train your Gale Sword Dog in the Sword Field, aiming to develop it towards the Space Attribute in the future??"

"This time, what I’ve brought for you is a spatial attribute resource!!"

"The Root of Space Segmentation!"
