Chapter 1366 The Power of the Undead
'Skeleton Soldiers Resurrect!' Of the five words in the mantra, only the word 'resurrection' was unfamiliar to Gargamel.
In addition, he was a mantra mage at the Saint level before his death, so he naturally had his own way of mastering the mantra. After a little trial, he could recite the mantra smoothly...
[Skeleton soldiers resurrected! 】
The sound was still made in the form of soul fire resonance. The next second, invisible power quickly enveloped the green-skinned corpse of the Vajra Realm in front of him, ignited its soul fire, and transformed it into an undead!
It turns out that one doesn't have to recite the mantra out loud when casting it. This discovery made Zhou Xu think about it a little more.
But after thinking about it, for them, reading it out loud should be the simplest and most efficient way.
As his thoughts raced, two green-skinned skeletons, who had possessed the strength of the Vajra Realm in their lifetime, were pulled up one after another by Gargamel.
Zhou Xu quickly used the Secret Peering Eye to confirm their panels. They were all typical four-star warriors, and at the same time, they had reached the Hundred Refinements Realm right from the start.
But even so, there are differences between the two.
At this moment, one is Bronze Two Stars and the other is Bronze Three Stars.
Judging from this data alone, those who were transformed into the undead, their strength dropped from the Vajra Realm, and they did not even reach the peak of the Hundred Refining Realm.
[This should also be related to their strength in life...]
The higher the realm, the greater the gap in strength. Basically, for those who can cultivate to the Vajra Realm or the Saint Realm, even the gap of one star level is already to a point that cannot be ignored.
This undoubtedly shattered Zhou Xu's previous fantasy of obtaining multiple Vajra Realm Immortals in a short period of time.
Before, after Diak was transformed into the undead, his strength dropped from the Hundred Refining Realm. The reason he was able to rush back so quickly was purely because his realm was low and the gap in strength was not that big. In addition, there were thousands of green-skinned corpses for him to absorb energy from.
But the two in front of us have fallen from the Vajra Realm. How can the gap between them be compared from an ordinary warrior to the Hundred Refinements Realm?
At the same time, judging from previous experience, in order to push them back to the Vajra Realm, they would probably need tens of thousands of corpses to provide them with energy, and even that might not be enough.
[This matter is indeed not that simple. ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh.
During this time, his eyes swept over Gargamel. After transforming the two green-skinned warriors into undead one after another, as his power was consumed, Gargamel's soul fire weakened by almost a quarter compared to its previous heyday.
This can be said to be far beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.
[Is it his talent as the 'Skull Master' that is taking effect? Judging from this, even if there were eight Vajra Realm corpses placed here, he would be able to transform them.]
Considering Gargamel's current strength, this can even be said to be a bit exaggerated.
You know, he is only Silver One Star now.
Theoretically speaking, he has the ability to grow to Silver Four Stars, at which time his power will become even stronger.
Not to mention that the most crucial battle between them and the greenskin camp has already been fought. On the battlefield at this stage, the combat power at the King Kong level generally will not suffer such heavy casualties.
Based on the strength that Gargamel has shown now, the subsequent transformation of the undead on the front line can be completely left to him.
Now, he can go home with peace of mind.
But before that, he had to complete the transformation of Blood Hand King.
He had no intention of letting Gargamel, who possessed the talent of 'Skull Master', do this task for him.
The Blood Hand King had successfully broken through to the Zongheng Realm during his lifetime. After his death, he was transformed into the Undead. No matter how weak his strength is, he should have at least the Silver One Star in the Vajra Realm.
If you want to transform this guy, the cost will definitely be huge.
He was going to withdraw from the front line anyway, so he could just use up all his magic power first and then slowly recover on the way back. There was no need to let Gargamel consume a large amount of his own magic power at this moment.
After all, the undead need to absorb energy from corpses to restore their mana, which is normally a rather troublesome situation.
In any case, the relevant tests have come to an end for the time being.
Zhou Xu directly asked someone to arrange a tent for Gargamel and let him rest.
However, what Zhou Xu did not expect was that Gargamel asked him a question as he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Master, can I absorb the energy nearby to recover?"
Compared to other green-skinned undead units who basically obey his orders, Gargamel's soul is more powerful, which also means that his consciousness is clearer. While they obey his orders, they also have their own ideas.
"Nearby energy..."
Zhou Xu was stunned.
"You mean the natural energy in the area?"
Absorbing natural energy can be said to be one of the important abilities that the True Word Mage acquires after breaking through to the Saint Realm.
Theoretically speaking, the Gargamel in front of us has also entered the holy realm and he possesses this ability.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Gargamel shook his head.
"I can't absorb natural energy without transformation."
After hearing this, Zhou Xu suddenly realized a problem.
That is, as a skeleton wizard with a higher IQ than ordinary units and the ability to enter the saint realm, Gargamel's understanding of energy is far superior to that of warriors like Diak.
In other words, there are many things that Diack cannot understand or explain clearly, but for Gargamel, he can probably figure them out easily just by turning around.
"You can only absorb energy from corpses?"
"For now, that's the case."
"Why is that? I mean, why can you only absorb energy from corpses? Do you understand this?"
Zhou Xu's question made Gargamel fall into a brief contemplation.
"I think this may be related to energy and my own attributes. After I was transformed into an undead, my own attributes also changed."
"And most of the natural energy is mutually exclusive with us. It's not a big problem if we absorb a very small amount, just like breathing. But once we absorb a large amount, problems will arise."
"Under this premise, the energy generated within the corpse is 100% compatible with us."
The issue of attributes has been discussed before.
Natural energy basically includes energies of various attributes. In the process of absorption by the Mantra Master, there is actually a transformation process.
Just like eating food requires digestion to convert it into nutrients needed by the human body, the same is true for absorbing natural energy. It is not enough to just absorb it and be done with it.
For example, if you are allergic to seafood and you eat a bite of seafood, you are lucky not to go to the hospital. Do you expect to get nutrition from it? This logic can basically be applied to the undead in front of us.
