Angel was stunned: "95%? Is this a regression?"
While he was thinking this, Froud's degeneration continued to regress, %...regressed to about 90% at an extremely fast speed.
Then, he paused in this position for about ten minutes and continued to fall.
The speed of the fall became faster this time, %... It was like a vertical fall. Before Angel could react, he reached the bottom of the fall.
When the value reaches 0% from the digital perspective, all the corruption in Froud's body disappears and he returns to his normal soul state again.
Seeing this scene, Angel was basically sure: it was stable.
After the corruption disappears, there are basically no difficulties. All that is left is to slowly digest the dead energy in the body until the first soul trick is piled up.
A day later, the death energy in Froud's body had been almost exhausted, but he had not yet woken up.
"You haven't mastered the soul trick yet after all the death energy has been consumed?" Angel was a little surprised. If he had learned the first soul trick under normal circumstances, he would have only consumed 70% to 80% of the death energy to learn it.
But looking back, I think it makes sense. After all, Froud's first soul trick was obtained from Lady Silla. It is normal for this special soul trick to consume a lot of death energy.
"I remember Nice told me before that when encountering this kind of situation, Froude cannot handle it by himself, and it must be handled by the guardian... The first step is to remove the mental force field." Angel said on the side Whispering, he waved his hand and canceled the mental force field around Froud.
"The second step is to let Froud absorb the death energy from the outside world to support the consumption in the body, otherwise Froude will start to consume the power of the soul and eventually suck himself dry."
As the mental force field was removed, the swarming death energy immediately filled Froud's body.
However, now Flood's soul is flawless, and the death energy is only floating around Flood, but has not been absorbed by Flood.
"The third step is to help Froud open his soul."
Angel took a step forward and appeared next to Flood. He lightly scratched his eyebrows with his fingers, and a wound that reached the core of his soul appeared on his forehead. This wound instantly turned into the surrounding death energy and entered Flood. The entrance to De's body. A large amount of death energy began to be absorbed by Froud.
Angel was sure that the death energy had entered his body, and Froud breathed a sigh of relief after his stagnant practice started again.
This kind of soul opening seems simple and crude, but in fact it tests the trust between the soul opened and the protector. Once either party hesitates, the final result will inevitably fail.
Fortunately, he and Froud completely trusted each other, and it would probably not be possible for anyone else.
After Froude restarted his practice, it took another half a day, but he finally stopped absorbing the death energy from the outside world. This meant that he had enough death energy to practice the soul tricks.
Angel also re-established a mental force field for him to prevent accidents caused by excessive death energy.
After all this is done, Angel is finally done as a protector, and the rest is for Froud to wake up.
Two hours later, when the dawn of a new day came, Froud's closed eyes slowly opened.
The moment he opened it, Angel seemed to see two green flames dancing in his eyes. But soon, Froud himself stopped looking at him strangely and regained his composure.
Today's Froud looks no different from three days ago, and there is no qualitative change in his soul.
However, the deathly aura that had been lingering around Froud had all disappeared.
Even his originally gloomy and silent expression became sunny again - although it was a bit weird to use sunshine to describe the undead, it did feel that way to Angel.
Moreover, without the shackles of death energy, the upper limit of Froud's soul core will also be broadened. This means that Froud's bottleneck has been broken, and if he continues to practice, there will be no more obstacles in a short period of time.
After confirming that Froud is fine, what Angel is most curious about now is: What soul tricks did Froude inherit from Mrs. Silla?
Angel guessed that it was most likely a dead soul blocking his eyes. When Mrs. Silla used to deal with little Sam in Star Lake Castle, she used the Dead Soul Blind Eye.
But even the Dead Soul Blind Eye should be different from the ordinary Dead Soul Blind Eye.
However, Angel doesn't know the specific difference for the time being. Because Mrs. Silla's previous confrontation with Little Sam was purely for fun and did not use the special feature of the Death Soul Barrier at all.
This question can only be explained by Froud himself.
Half an hour later, Froud had finished recovering from Angel's wound between his eyebrows. Then he walked up to Angel and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your protection, sir."
Angel waved his hand indifferently, and then couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart: "What is the soul trick you obtained this time?"
"The dead soul blocks the eyes."
The answer is no surprise. What Angel is more concerned about is, what is the difference between this Death Soul Obstacle Eye and the ordinary Death Soul Obstacle Eye?
Froude was about to explain, but Angel interrupted: "Don't explain it yet, just use it on me once, and I will feel it myself."
Froude nodded and activated the little trick hidden in the core of his soul.
From Angel's perspective, strange soul ripples appeared around Froud. When these undetectable ripples passed through Angel's body, Angel could feel the space around him appearing. A trace of fluctuation.
Angel looked back at his surroundings. He was still on the altar, with Froude beside him, and everything seemed unchanged.
Angel thought for a while and walked towards the bottom of the altar, but when he started to go down the steps, he noticed that the steps kept extending... This meant that, according to the current situation, he would never be able to go down the steps.
Because there is a light spell on the top of his head, Angel can clearly see the changes in the steps. If the subject's senses are obscured in pure darkness, he may be lost forever.
This is the dead soul blocking the eyes.
To use Jon's words, it's like a ghost beating a wall.
As an illusion wizard, Angel can see through the truth of the dead soul barrier almost at a glance. It is also very simple to break the dead soul barrier.
However, Angel did not break it, but continued to feel the dead soul barrier, because he had not found anything special yet.
But even after careful observation, Angel still didn't find anything special.
At this time, Froud's voice sounded from behind: "Sir, you might as well continue walking down the steps."
Angel understood that this was a hint from Froude.
Angel was not stubborn and listened to Froude's advice and continued walking down. The barrier of dead souls had not been broken, so this originally only had thirty-six steps, but Angel made it feel like an infinite tour.
After walking up about a hundred steps, Angel vaguely felt some changes, but they were not obvious.
After walking another hundred steps, Angel stopped. The strange movement in his soul made him finally realize that something was wrong.
"As long as you are deeply trapped in the Dead Soul Obscurity, can you affect the Soul Land?" Angel walked two hundred steps in the Dead Soul Obscurity and clearly felt that the souls in the Soul Land were turbulent.
If it is not actively stopped, the soul will be passively pulled out of the body.
Is this what’s so special about Froud’s Death Soul Blind Eye?
Angel looked at Froud, who nodded: "Yes, as long as the subject cannot break the dead soul barrier and keeps reincarnating in the dead soul barrier, he will unconsciously The soul leaves the body and continues to be trapped in the dead soul in its soul body."
Flood paused: "However, it only targets middle and low-level apprentices and mortals. The effect on high-level apprentices is average. They can feel the changes in the soul land and will not continue to walk in the eyes of the dead soul. For formal Wizards are completely useless.”
"Silently making people leave their souls and die, it feels like a phantom killing technique." Angel muttered: "It seems that little Sam's luck was really good before. If Mrs. Silla didn't want to play with murder, As for him, he won’t be able to hold on just from the soul-separating effect.”
Angel personally feels that this effect is not bad, it is basically equivalent to a third-level magic that combines control, escape and attack.
If it is really used, although it cannot make the third-level apprentices leave their souls, it can easily trap them and prevent them from leaving.
With this skill, Froud is already comparable to the former 'dream reader'.
It is indeed the ability of a special undead.
When Angel was thinking this, Froud added: "Leaving the soul is actually just the first special feature of this trick."
Angel looked over in surprise: "You mean, Dead Soul Blind Eye has a second special ability?"
Seeing Froude nodding, Angel didn't ask any questions, and once again sensed the dead souls around him... However, he didn't feel anything special.
With Angel's current ability, he couldn't feel anything special, so there was only one explanation.
"The second special ability will be triggered after leaving the soul?"
Froud nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, I can possess the body of a person who has left his soul in my eyes."
Angel raised his head abruptly: "Possession? Soul separation plus possession?"
Froude nodded: "Yes, it can be possessed. However, it is obviously different from the soul tricks of possession, because the soul of the original owner has left, and the body I possessed is actually half dead. My possessed body It's more like a living dead. In a short period of time, it's no different from ordinary people. But over time, the body will die with the exhaustion of the soul. When the time comes, I will have no choice but to leave."
Froude shrugged: "I actually don't see any advantages of this kind of possession. The only advantage is probably that it allows me to feel the beauty of living before my body dies. For example, I can try life again." Food for people.”
Although after listening to Froud's explanation, this possession has great limitations, but it is still a special place.
A dead soul barrier comes with two follow-up abilities. To put it broadly, it is basically equivalent to three soul tricks. Moreover, the effects of soul separation and possession are also pretty good. Although Froud thinks possession is useless now, sometimes the undead can't do things that living people can do. Therefore, after being possessed, even if you can only enjoy the time of a living person for a while, it is much better than being completely undead.
Moreover, if they can share souls, just like Greya possessing two souls in another person's body, then the body will probably not die of exhaustion. However, it is difficult to find someone who is willing to share the soul, and Froud does not have a soul as powerful as Greya, who can directly occupy the magpie's nest.
Angel: "No matter what, this is already a very perfect soul trick. It will be of great help to your strength."
Flood nodded, he also knew that he had taken advantage of him this time, and he would definitely have to make up for it with Little Sam.
Angel: "Now that we have learned the soul trick, it's time for us to leave. The Star Lake Castle is very lively these days..."
Froude didn't know what Angel meant by being lively, but he didn't ask. He would find out later when he went to see it.
After canceling the Death Soul Barrier, Froud followed Angel and walked out of the cave.
Standing at the door of the cave, Froud paused for a moment, then looked back at the altar where the wind was still blowing: "The death energy here is like a sea, and my consumption can hardly shake the total amount of death energy..."
"Well, Ada and Shanni can also come here to practice soul tricks in the future, but they will be protected by you."
Flood nodded: "I understand."
Ada and Shanni must be learning the soul tricks step by step. It is enough for him to be a protector, and there is no need to bother Angel.
"Let's go." Angel said softly, and the figure disappeared from the dark tunnel.
Flood followed.
…
After returning to Star Lake Castle, Flood finally understood why Angel said this place was "lively" before.
Because Neia appeared at Star Lake Castle with two boys and girls who were obviously very noble.
Neia was currently urging the two of them to clean the Star Lake Castle while taking care of little Sam who had lost his energy and blood to eat three meals a day.
After Froude and Nea inquired about it, they realized that these two were the new young king and the future queen of the Yinlu royal family.
The main reason why they came here to do hard work was that Neia wanted to resolve her grudges with the little Sam family.
Neia had already learned from Froude the whole process of how Little Sam killed Mrs. Silla. Neia admired little Sam's determination and wisdom.
Moreover, Neia could also see that Angel was very good to little Sam.
Little Sam will definitely join the Savage Cave in the future. He is already very smart and is valued by Angel. If he gets another chance from Angel, he might have a chance to become a wizard.
A seed with such great potential, because of the chaos of the previous generation, they were both descendants of Saint Syme, but they hated the current royal family, which troubled Neia very much.
Neia couldn't kill little Sam under the protection of Angel and Froude, so she could only find a way to win over and resolve the grudges.
These two young men were both dignitaries of the current royal family, and they had a good relationship with little Sam when they were children.
So, Neia brought them.
Frod didn't say anything about Neia's actions. This was a matter for the descendants of Saint Syme. As an outsider, there was no need for him to get involved.
However, he owed little Sam a favor after all. He thought for a while and said to Neia: "As an outsider, I can't say anything about your family's grievances, but if you think about it from the perspective of little Sam, just relying on good words and then connecting with you when you were young, Doing a job of cleaning the castle just because you want to resolve the hatred of your family's death? Do you think there is such a cheap thing in the world?"
"Even if little Sam agrees now, when he becomes rational and mature in the future, looking back on today, do you think he will feel that he was just fooled by you?"
The meaning behind Froud's words was very obvious. He was just using words and emotionally kidnapping him, but he didn't give any benefits. Why should he be forgiven by Little Sam?
Flood simply wanted to help little Sam earn more benefits. Although Neia is a wizard apprentice, as a member of the royal family, she secretly controls the entire Apocalypse Continent, and she definitely has a lot of resources at her disposal.
Taking out a little bit is enough for little Sam to digest in the early stage.
Of course, it's his own business if Little Sam doesn't forgive him. Even if he doesn't forgive, it doesn't prevent him from getting benefits. This is what Little Sam deserves.
After Froude finished speaking, he ignored Nea and returned to the room unobtrusively. He hasn't been to the Wilderness of Dreams in the past few days, and he still has a lot of things to deal with.
