Chapter 246: Eternal Melody (III) (2/2)

It didn’t have any elementary attribute, but was extremely concentrated. Long Haochen was completely sure that a single drop of that white liquid energy was sufficient to match ten drops of liquid spiritual energy.

Of the two skeletons, only one was left. There was no suspense for the rest of the battle. Long Haochen exploited the Attraction ability of his Saint Spiritual Stove along with his co-ordination with Haoyue. Not giving the skeleton any opportunity to lock the same powerful attack as before, he exploited the fact that its defensive capabilities were far from being as good as his offensive power, combined with its inferior intelligence, to get rid of it.

However, after getting rid of these two skeletons, Long Haochen felt both physically and mentally exhausted, finding out to his astonishment that more than 80% of his spiritual energy was consumed. Even a big part of Haoyue’s magic power was consumed.

The instant he got rid of the second skeleton, another drop of white liquid entered his body, same as the previous time.

Long Haochen didn’t attempt to advance any further. He knew that in his current condition, he wouldn’t have a chance of success if faced with two more skeletons, if not more.

In some sense, defeating these two skeletons was a preview of what was awaiting them ahead, and seeing the white bones on the ground that disappeared gradually, Long Haochen sat cross-legged on the ground, urging the liquid spiritual energy in him to try to assimilate those two drops of white liquid.

The result raised his spirits, as those two drops of non-elemental liquid didn’t show any resistance, only after a short process of assimilation, it became a part of his spiritual energy. And just like he estimated, each drop of the liquid energy that came in had the effect of increasing his own spiritual energy by ten units.

Nonetheless, Long Haochen felt gloomy: because his current amount of spiritual energy was low, these two drops of liquid energy only helped him to recover some of that back and nothing more. It wasn’t an increase of his total spiritual energy in the true meaning.

Long Haochen immediately realized his mistake. He should have waited for his own spiritual energy to have recovered before absorbing it.

Defeating a single skeleton could strengthen him by ten units of spiritual energy! This was a lot faster than cultivation, and although those two skeleton’s strength was undoubtedly tyrannical, beating them came with obvious benefits.

With the aura of death contained in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen only needed half an hour to regain his spiritual energy completely.

Standing up once again, Long Haochen didn’t keep going forward, thinking that he had to leave that place.

This experience in the Tower of Eternity brought him an enormous shock, and he was also pretty curious about this ‘Slumbering Calamity’, Elux. However, he clearly understood that it would only be upon reaching the seventh step that he would really be qualified to attempt to challenge this tower that existed since thousands of years. And this was clearly not something that he could do in a mere day or two. With the restriction left by the necromancy magic, he wouldn’t be able to reach the top of this tower before attaining the ninth step.

Along with those two skeleton Long Haochen’s original apprehension towards that tower disappeared already. I don’t want Elux’s inheritance to be passed on to me, but it won’t hurt to gain some experience here. Without a doubt, many more mysteries and new items are waiting for me to discover them in this Tower of Eternity!

As for whether he would share this place with his teammates, this was something he would think about after getting back. He needed at least to discuss it with Cai’er. After all, the word ‘necromancer’ was enough to give an extreme shock to any human.

Thinking about it, Long Haochen suddenly came to a realization; that it should be time for him to get back. Five hours already passed since he entered in this cavern, and Haoyue even followed him there.

Thinking up to this point, Long Haochen called out to Haoyue, and headed to the outside of the tower, ready to leave.

Just at this time, Haoyue suddenly let out a boo hoo, standing in Long Haochen’s way.

“Mh?” Long Haochen unconvincingly remarked, “What’s up with you?”

Little Light faced Long Haochen, spitting out a golden bead.

Long Haochen unconsciously caught it, and in the instant this golden bead fell into his hand, it turned into a golden color, directly making its way into the space between Long Haochen’s eyebrows.

A short fragment of memories appeared in Long Haochen’s mind.

“Asura Strike, condensing spiritual energy and chopping Heaven and Earth…”

This was surprisingly the memories of a skill, and one at the sixth step.

And it was exactly the one that skeleton used against Long Haochen, this attack that had such a fatal attacking power!
