Magic!

Russell stepped over the broken gargoyles, dragging the half-human, half-snake body of Medusa into the depths of the cave.

"Starfire, have you finished getting the water?

"This Medusa's strength is not very good. Without the ability to use the petrifying gaze, it cannot pose much of a threat.

"The plan we made before was still too conservative. We can go together, kill Medusa and all the gargoyles, and then walk in swaggering.

"This continuous blasting staff is really practical, but I felt that the staff was overheated when I used it just now. There are some cracks on the handle of the staff, which you may need to repair."

Russell, who was dragging Medusa's body, came to the empty pool, next to Starfire who had just stood up.

Just the moment he saw Xinghuo, Russell felt a sense of security and trust in him.

The red-red girl turned around, her brave and heroic face looked slightly haggard:

"That's it, Russell, thank you for your hard work.

"I have taken away all the Fountains of Weeping, so our mission is completed.

"If I had known that I was not in a hurry, I would have waited for your contracted spirits to come back and let them, who are not living people and have no flesh and blood, help fetch water."

At this point, Starfire sighed with regret, leaned against the stone wall, and gently covered her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Russell asked.

"It's nothing, I just came into contact with the Weeping Fountain, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, all dangers have been eliminated now. Let me take a rest and relax."

Starfire said as she pointed to the body of Medusa that Russell was dragging.

The eyes of this half-human, half-snake monster have been wrapped with a layer of cloth by Russell. The "Petrified Gaze" effect will continue for a period of time after Medusa dies, so this method is used to prevent accidents.

"A high-level extraordinary creature that just died was still intelligent, and its spiritual body changed due to the pollution of the Weeping Fountain.

"The soul and corpse of this kind of monster should be of great value to you students of the Department of Death and Life."

Russell nodded slightly:

"Yes. I can use Medusa's soul to create new contracted spirits."

The Book of Shadows records a ritual called "Awakening the Dead".

It was the ritual in which nocturnes transformed wind chimes from wandering ghosts into truly supernatural ghosts.

This ritual is very powerful. If it weren't for the Book of Shadows that "automatically allows the holder to master the ritual", just exchanging the ritual knowledge from the school would cost a lot of college coins, not counting the complexity of the practice. Expensive material expenses incurred during the ceremony.

Only after knowing the witchcraft idea of ​​​​this ritual, Russell knew——

Normally, if you want to create spiritual undead creatures such as ghosts and evil spirits, you must hold a ceremony within a short time after the death of the deceased to prevent too much spiritual loss in the spirit body.

It seemed that Nocturne was able to create the female ghost wind chime because the spirit body of the wind chime was special, and some high-level powers were involved in death, which was not the norm.

"Then you should hurry up and deal with the dead Medusa."

Starfire said as she leaned against the stone wall and rested on her forehead.

Russell did not question, and took out the pure white candles needed for the ceremony from his dimensional pocket, placed the three candles in three different directions of Medusa, and then lit them one after another. He took out another clay pot filled with grave soil and placed it in the middle.

Suddenly, Russell's movements stopped slightly, and he turned to ask Starfire: "You are not a student of the Department of Death and Life. How do you know that I need to hurry up?"

"I have a friend in the necromancy and life department, he told me this." Starfire answered without hesitation.

Sounds reasonable, no questions asked.

Russell nodded slightly, then took out a small bottle of essential oil from his pocket and dropped it on the flames of three pure white candles in turn.

The flickering dim candlelight suddenly turned into a miserable green, filling the entire cave with an eerie aura.

Russell also felt a little distressed when he saw that half of the bottle of essential oil that was as big as a fingernail was missing.

Dead Soul Essential Oil.

This essential oil is an important ritual material and is generally refined by students in colleges and universities. If purchased directly from the school, a small bottle will cost more than a dozen college gold coins.

Fortunately, Russell himself is proficient in herbalism and potion refining. After he was promoted to the third grade level, he relied on his potion refining ability to a higher level. It took him several weeks to actually make the essential oils himself. Refined.

This made Russell feel more and more that there was indeed inheritance and correlation between the core abilities of each grade in the undead and life department.

After thinking of this, Russell became more and more looking forward to becoming a top player in the third or even fourth grade. He wanted to know what kind of connection there was between the professional core courses in the senior grades and the psychic and herbal medicine in the first and second grade.

As the destined protagonist, Russell even believed that sooner or later he would step into that mythical and legendary realm - the fifth grade level.

Since mastering supernatural powers, he has many things he wants to achieve

About parents, about the law of confidentiality, about the entire supernatural world, about the present and future of mankind.

Russell knows that he will encounter many obstacles and threats. Only when he truly stands at the pinnacle of the entire supernatural field can the realization of his dream be supported by the power of reality.

Whenever he thinks of these, Russell has a lot of desire for a higher level of extraordinary power.

Russell then took out several simple ritual materials, arranged the scenes required for the ceremony, and then discovered that an important material was missing.

"The materials required to convert Medusa's spirit body are relatively advanced, and the ordinary vengeful spirit dust I brought is probably not suitable. It would be better if I brought the dust of ancient vengeful spirits."

The so-called ancient resentful spirits are terrifying spirits that were born in the distant ancient times and have existed for more than 65 million years. They have gained extraordinary power because they have suffered huge disasters. There has been ongoing controversy in the academic community as to how the ancient wraiths were created, but in Russell's view, this may be related to the disaster that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

"I brought the dust of ancient resentful spirits for you to use. This time I got the water from the Weeping Fountain, thanks to your help."

Starfire, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly said, taking out a small bottle of gray dust from the small bag on his body.

As a student of the Department of Creation and Summoning, why do you carry advanced necromancy materials with you? Russell, who took the small glass bottle, was about to ask when he heard Xinghuo say:

"I am a supernatural craftsman who carries with me many important creation materials, covering many different areas."

Quite a reasonable explanation.

Russell gently unscrewed the cap of the small glass bottle and poured a little dust into the pale green candlelight of the three pure white candles. The gloomy green candlelight suddenly grew in size, casting a cloud over the surrounding environment. A strange, bleak, and terrifying atmosphere.

After completing all the arrangements, Russell turned his back to Starfire, chanted the ritual incantation, and danced around the three candles and the corpse of Medusa in the middle.

Seeing Russell, who had his back to him most of the time, dancing crazily next to the corpse, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Starfire's mouth.

"He seemed to be completely immersed in the ritual, and his spirit and spirit had already been integrated into the magical ritual.

“If you are attacked and the ceremony is interrupted in this state, you will definitely encounter backlash.

"From beginning to end, he found nothing..."

During the dance, Russell used certain dancing postures to reach into his pocket and touched two precious charms.

Transformation spell.

Curse-dropping talisman.

These two third-grade spells were originally an undercover reward given to Russell by the school to deal with the Red Order of Chaos, but they were not used in last year's decisive battle and have been kept until now.

…

In the deep forest, the sleeping demon and wind chimes flying towards the cave suddenly stopped, as if they heard some kind of sound.

"Quick, Feng Chime, let's stop flying and teleport back directly."

The pale and hazy Sleeper took out the teleportation spell that Starfire had given them before and poured soul power into it.

"What happened to Russell? We are so anxious to go back immediately." Feng Chime, who had always been smiling, also realized the seriousness of the problem.
