Chapter 55: Undead Slaves (2/2)
<The Undead King's Requiem has absorbed a considerable amount of your essence of life. Your lifespan has permanently decreased by ten years>
The ring absorbed ten years of his lifespan before he felt a mysterious connection with it. Elliot didn't worry too much as his life span way around 200 years, and it will increase to 500 years once he reaches the Channel Opening Stage.
<Congratulations! You've become the sole owner of the Undead King's Requiem>
Now, he can create undead!
Elliot choose to create them in this room.
There was no one in the room except for him.
To him, this is the perfect time to do suspicious things.
He locked the door, making sure no one can suddenly enter his living quarters, and blinded the windows with a curtain before taking out the corpse of the monster from his inventory.
He commanded the ring to turn it into his undead slave.
A few seconds passed.
Several seconds passed.
A minute passed.
However, nothing happened.
Elliot heard imaginary caws in his head and snapped out of his disappointment.
”What is wrong with it? Why didn't it turn the carcass of the monster into my undead slave?” Elliot wondered in his mind while tapping on the ring.
He used the power of his godly eye to understand what has gone wrong.
It took some minutes for him to find out that the Undead King's Requiem can only convert the corpse of a monster with an energy core into his undead slave.
Energy cores are pretty hand and important to magicians and non-magicians alike, and only one in ten monsters have them. Some monsters congeal their energy into a core. This core is found somewhere inside of their body. This core is useful for making magic coins. It also has many other uses. It becomes the most important source of energy in a place without magic energy. It is also used to fuel a lot of the latest inventions, too.
”Guess I am going to have to sort them out.”
Elliot looked at the corpses of the monsters in his inventory one by one. His eyes glowed in the intention of knowing which one has a magic core and which one doesn't. He found out that only seven out of all of them have a magic core. It was a pitiful amount, but beggars can't be choosers.
He pulled them out and commanded the ring to consume them.
Suddenly, the skull on the Undead King's Requiem opened and released a powerful suction force.
Whoosh
The carcasses of the monsters with magic core immediately vanished from the floor of the room. It wasn't just their carcasses that vanished. Every trace of their existence vanished, including their blood and the scent of blood filling their room.
<The Undead King's Requiem have created seven undead slaves, Undead Iron Fanged Shades>
<The undead slaves are resting inside the subspace of the ring>
<You can summon them by saying the keywords, Come Forth! My army of undead>
Elliot whistled in happiness and turned to summon them.
”Come Forth! My army of undead!”
An instant after he said those words, seven shades appeared next to him, a dull and lifeless look in their eyes.
”Holt shit! This works!” He exclaimed his happiness before sucking in his lips in excitement.
He looked at their stats one by one.
He also examined their strengths and weaknesses.
”What the hell! They can even evolve?!”
Turns out, he can evolve them by feeding the magic cores of powerful monsters. For example, he can increase the strength of a beast in the fifth level of the magical realm into the sixth level by feeding it the energy core and flesh of a monster in the sixth level!
Furthermore, these undead slaves couldn't feel pain either. Also, he could command them with a single thought.
”They only have a single weakness, however.”
