"Star Swordsman..." Sonia chewed on the term: "Is that the soldier that the snake dragon just transformed into?"
The soul summoning spirit was not difficult to understand, because they had just run over its creation with a sports car. In simple terms, this spirit was to accumulate soul power by hunting other soldiers, and then use the soul power to grant soldiers to themselves or their followers.
If you can hunt down other heroic spirits, you can snatch their necromancy spirits, absorb and upgrade them, and unlock more types of soldiers.
Just one magic spirit has a complete system of "collection-exchange-upgrade". If this magic spirit were to spread, it would probably cause a technological revolution in the entire magician world.
But there is no way it could get out.
First of all, it cannot appear in reality, which means that the magician cannot take out this magic spirit in reality for research. Secondly...
"What does Zero Wing Magic Spirit mean?" Ash was a little confused: "Can a magic spirit have Zero Wing?"
The only village girl who had received an orthodox education shook her head and said, "It is impossible for a magic spirit to be without wings. It is similar to us magicians. The wings of a magic spirit represent its knowledge, but there is no magic power in the wings. A four-winged magic spirit symbolizes that it has legendary knowledge, and a zero-winged magic spirit means..."
"It has no knowledge at all." Diya answered quickly: "It is not made of knowledge."
A sorcerer without knowledge, even Ash, a mudblood sorcerer, felt that it sounded ridiculous - the definition of a sorcerer was a virtual creature condensed by knowledge. A sorcerer without knowledge was like a fat man without meat, which essentially negated the definition.
"Do you know?" Sonia suddenly said, "Some magic spirits have more than one evolutionary direction. For example, a two-winged "Sword Qi" magic spirit can evolve into a three-winged "Sword Qi" magic spirit, but after special training and feeding, it can also evolve into a three-winged "Sword Light" magic spirit."
"Many magic spirits may mutate during their evolution, and some ordinary magic spirits may transform into more rare and powerful magic spirits. Magicians recorded these phenomena and later discovered that they could use certain methods to degenerate high-level magic spirits into low-level magic spirits. These low-level magic spirits, because of their 'experience', are more likely to evolve into high-winged magic spirits."
"A special summoning science was born: first, the high-level magic spirits that are easy to obtain are degraded into low-level magic spirits, and then they are trained in a targeted manner, and then the low-level magic spirits are upgraded and transformed into the high-level magic spirits that one needs."
"I heard that some magic nobles would even degenerate a particularly powerful magic spirit into a wing, specifically for their descendants to use."
"That is to say, as long as the magician is willing, it is not impossible to degenerate a four-winged magic spirit into a one-winged magic spirit."
Sonia looked at the triangular bicone in Ash's hand and said, "The necromancy spirit may be a degenerate spirit. It is too perfect. It is not without knowledge, but the amount of knowledge is too vast. I don't think it is the original spirit that appeared in the Time Continent. Even if it is a four-winged spirit, I have no doubt about it."
"It is very likely a legendary magic spirit formed by the fusion of multiple magic spirits. Zero Wing is a seal that seals it to the point where the Heroic Spirit can use it."
Ash nodded in agreement. After all, the heroes of the Time Continent were only two-winged magicians. Asking them to use four-winged magicians was like stirring a jar with a toothpick or taking pictures with a mobile phone. It was completely beyond their capabilities.
However, Sonia mentioned a new term, so Ash asked, "Fusion?"
"Fusion is a special summoning method that only high-level magicians can try." Sonia introduced: "In simple terms, it is to fuse multiple magic spirits into a new magic spirit. For example, I can fuse Moon Silk, Torrent, and Wave into a new magic spirit "Water Moon Wave". In this way, I only need to activate one magic spirit to activate the Water Moon Miracle in the future."
"But your three magic spirits are gone, aren't they?"
"That's right, that's all." Sonia nodded: "A fusion magic spirit is actually a magic spirit that is specifically used to activate specific miracles, but it can only activate miracles and has great limitations. Only magicians above the Saint Realm will get involved in fusion magic spirits, because they will encounter situations where they need to activate multiple miracles at the same time. At this time, fusion magic spirits can greatly reduce their mental energy."
"The summoning spirit is powerful but also has great limitations. It is very likely that it has degenerated from a high-level fusion spirit to a zero-wing spirit. This spirit may not be of much significance in the upper levels of the Void Realm. Those soldiers we fear may be easily suppressed by a legendary magician. But in the Time Continent, it becomes the cornerstone of the Heroic Soul Legion's sweeping victory."
Diya also understood: "It sounds like the story of an imperial princess secretly escaping to the border area and starting from scratch."
Ash glanced at the witch - you described it in such detail.
Although they have roughly guessed the origin of the necromancy spirit, it is obvious that this thing is not something they can study at their level, so they can just be honest consumers.
So, who will control this magic spirit?
Because there is a "Star Swordsman" in the army, theoretically it should be the most suitable for Sonia to use it. But she had just taken the commander's manual, and this time she took the necromancer, even a village girl would feel a little embarrassed.
But Ash had a different opinion: "Speaking of which, who are you to me?"
Sonia and Diya blinked, looked at each other, and then looked at Ash.
"Are they family members?" Diya asked, "But it's weird to say that. Why do you want to find strangers as your family members... Don't you have any family members, Observer?"
"They are followers!" Ash said loudly, seeing that they were not smart at all, "I am the one who led the virtual realm exploration. You are my team members, so in theory you should be my followers."
Sonia understood: "You mean, if you get the necromancy spirit, you can give us the arms?"
"That's possible." Ash held up the necromancy spirit: "Then I'll take it?"
"I kind of want it..." Diya felt a little itchy when she saw the new magic spirit: "I'll give it to you this time, and give it to me next time when you have something fun!"
Sonia also said: "Take it. Even if you can't give it to us, the armor can at least increase your safety factor. As you said, you are the captain, and you are the most important person in the team. Without you, we can't drive a sports car and explore the virtual world by looking at the map... You should cherish yourself more."
"But without you, I wouldn't be able to explore the virtual world so easily." Ash clenched the necromancy spirit: "If I can't give it to you, then we can each have one, and treat it as a team benefit--"
When the necromancy spirit was completely controlled, mist-like energy suddenly rose from all around the cave, rushing towards Ash like young swallows returning to their nests. The magicians had no way to react, and Sonia asked nervously, "Viewer, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, put the sword down first, I'm scared."
"But the situation just now seems that the evil spirit has devoured your soul. I want to verify whether you are the real you: "I am as light as a balloon, but there is only a thin string tying me to the ground"..."
Ash rushed over and pushed Sonia down, straddling her waist and trying to cover her mouth.
Sonia pried his hands apart with force and said seriously: "Look, you are possessed by an evil spirit. I will continue to repeat your famous sayings to awaken your memory. Sword Princess, to me, if you...if you dare to spit, I will never let you go!"
Just as Ash was about to spit (physical) with his mouth, Sonia surrendered. Diya squatted beside him and asked curiously, "Why is the viewer so excited? Is this a spell?"
"I'll tell you in private when I have time later." Sonia said cheerfully.
"Then you're done. You'll never be free again, not in your entire life." Ash said coldly.
"That was the first effect of the Soul Summoning Spirit. The remaining soul power of the Star Swordsmen we killed was automatically absorbed into the Spirit. Now I have 3 soul power points, which is just right for me to try to see if I can give them to your soldiers."
Without waiting for Sonia to refuse, Ash pointed at Diya and said, "Witch evolution - Star Sword Witch!"
Deep blue flames suddenly emerged from Diya's body, spreading along her body into exquisite, close-fitting armor. She held a small rapier in each hand and wore a full-coverage helmet. Ash and Sonia could only see Diya's eyes through the air vents.
"How does it feel?"
"My body seems to have become a little lighter." The Star Witch waved her rapier and said, "My armor and weapons are weightless. It's very comfortable to move. Wait a minute..."
She threw away the rapier, touched her fists and pulled out three water lines: "You can use the magic spirit normally, which means that it is no problem to use the soldiers as additional defensive armor."
"Okay." Ash said, "The test is over. If there is a chance tomorrow night, let's try the actual combat effect."
Sonia poked Ash's waist and pointed at herself.
"what."
"What about me?"
"What about you?"
"Why not let me experiment? The Star Swordsman is obviously a better match for me."
"Anyone can be tested, and by letting the witch do the test, we can also test whether she can use fist and claw attacks such as the water line in the soldier state."
"Well, that's a good reason. Anything else?"
"Also, you just pissed me off, so I want to piss you off too." Ash reached out and poked Sonia's forehead, "Otherwise I won't be angry after a while."
"I was just joking..." Sonia muttered, touching her forehead.
"Witch, come here!" Ash called to Diya who was doing somersaults, "No other questions?"
“No!” Diya gave a thumbs up: “The experience is very good, let’s wear this in battle from now on!”
"I think so too." Ash shrugged and exchanged glances with Sonia. "Now that the sports car is about to explode and everyone is tired, let's stop exploring the virtual world tonight."
"Um."
"Okay!"
Diya nodded crisply, ready to leave the virtual world, but when she looked down, she saw that her left hand was held by the viewer and her right hand was held by the sword lady.
"The exploration of the virtual realm is over. It should take half an hour before the arrival of the quiet realm, so we still have half an hour of tea time."
Ash and the other man pulled Diya aside and sat down.
"Witch, your hair colors were mixed during the battle just now, and your voice became a weird polyphony." Sonia said: "Although you have calmed down, we can't pretend that nothing happened."
"Although we have only known each other for a few days, it may not be appropriate to say things like 'worry' or 'help', but it would be too hard for us to ignore this matter." Ash tilted his head: "Actually, we were waiting for you to say it first, but if you didn't, we had to bring it up ourselves."
"Of course, if you don't want to tell me, I understand. After all, we may not be able to help you."
"But if you want to talk, we'll listen."
