Chapter 255: Necromancy Skill of the Black Witches! (2/2)

“World of Water!”

“A domain type taboo skill?”

“It really is a domain type taboo skill!”

Just the contents of the first skill scripture which Rui unrolled was enough to cause everyone to go nuts.

No only were domain type taboo skills incredibly powerful, they were also extremely rare in Doraster. Even the most powerful families and academies only had a few domain type taboo skills hidden away.

“If this skill is used, then the battlefield will become one of water!”

Ayrin immediately understood the usage of this taboo skill. It drew on the water vapor in the surrounding area and gathered it all together to form a domain of water around the caster and their enemy.

“It’s not cool at all!” Stingham complained by himself.

Everyone else quickly realized the usefulness of this “World of Water.” By trapping an unprepared opponent in water, they wouldn’t be able to breath, and their vision and movement would also be affected. It would greatly hinder an opponent’s invoking of arcane skills.

“Teacher Rui, hurry up and see if there are any cooler skills!”

Due to Stingham’s urging, Rui carefully picked up the other scrolls and opened them all up atop the desk.

“Ghost Boundary!”

“Death’s Energy: Shadow Ball!”

“Zombie Pit!”

“Far Sight!”

“Zombification: Grafting Technique!”

As the striking skill names rang out in succession, Rinloran’s expression immediately changed, “So many death related skills! This Black Witch must have been a necromancer?”

“It really seems like it!”

Ayrin couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Necromancers were existences who used corpses to display skills.

However, because using others’ corpses to invoke skills was considered cruel and evil, and thus generally shunned in Doraster, there were very few arcane masters who would study necromancy. Only within the midst of the Evil Dragon Followers could one find any particularly powerful arcane masters who used necromancy.

Amongst all necromancy skills, the most well-known were undoubtedly “Witch’s Dragon” and “Bone Cataclysm.” The former allowed one to summon a controllable corpse dragon from dragon bones whereas the latter was a powerful domain type taboo skill which caused bones to surge up from the ground in a large area and turn into an army of skeletons.

Ayrin was currently skimming through Ghost Boundary. The skill used arcane energy to absorb a portion of death energy from corpses to create several ghosts which would then wander around a set area and patrol it. Upon finding a target, these ghosts would chase and attack until all arcane energy was exhausted.

“Zombification: Grafting Technique!” This Black Witch actually had a taboo skill like this!”

Rui was absolutely shocked by his discovery.

“What’s wrong Teacher?” Ayrin immediately asked as he, along with everyone else, saw Rui’s shock.

“This Zombification: Grafting Technique is one of the stronger necromancy skills from the Magus Era. Through using this skill, one can merge a corpse with a heavily injured arcane master or giant beast to create a controllable zombie chimera!”

Rui took a deep breath as he slowly said, “Not only does this taboo skill allow one to instantly kill a heavily injured enemy, but it also allows one to turn their enemy into a controllable zombie to continue their assault!”

“Such a strong arcane skill! I wonder if I can learn it!” Ayrin immediately shouted.

“You really are a deviant!”

Stingham immediately backed several steps away from Ayrin as he pointed at Ayrin and shouted, “This is clearly such a perverse and evil skill, yet you still want to learn it?”

“Evil? But I don’t think so?” Ayrin scratched his head, “It’s only evil towards my enemies. Furthermore, it might be quite useful in critical situations.”

“For some unknown reason… perhaps it is because their blood is extremely different from today’s humans, but it is very difficult for us arcane masters to learn the skills of Black Witches. But if it’s you, Ayrin, perhaps it is possible.”

Rui’s pupils intensely quivered as such a thought emerged in his mind.

“There’s Far Sight as well?”

When Rinloran first saw this Far Sight skill, he assumed it was fake prophecy type skill. But as he skimmed across the scroll, he immediately discovered that this Far Sight was actually a high level reconnaissance skill. When used, this skill would form two eyes, allowing one to see far off into the distance for a short period of time. This vision couldn’t be obstructed by anything, not even darkness or fog. It would be as if one’s spiritual sense had greatly expanded outwards.

“Death’s Energy: Shadow Ball… Hey, isn’t the Fire Caracal Lord’s corpse just sitting over there? Perhaps we can extract some energy from it and form this shadow ball right now?” Ayrin’s voice rang out once more.

“So what, you idiot. Or are you going to quickly learn this skill right now?” Stingham sneered as he glanced over.

This skill could only be used to extract death energy from creatures which had recently died. It would take that energy and combine it with the user’s arcane particles and arcane energy to form a shadow ball outside the user’s body.

The unique part of this skill was that this shadow ball could then be used as a permanent means of attack or defense.

However, the scripture clearly stated that this technique couldn’t be used on a corpse which had been dead for more than two hours.

“Let me try!” Ayrin immediately shouted in excitement.
