Chapter 399: Three abilities of the Tri-colored skeletal staff
Hearing what Wolf said, emotions surged uncontrollably within Han Shuo’s heart. The Calamity Church was probably aware of some information regarding the Cemetery of Death. What Wolf had just stated was probably true.
The center of the first layer in the Cemetery of Death was indeed an ancient magic transportation array. It is precisely through this ancient magic transportation array that Han Shuo could travel everywhere without restrictions. When he heard Wolf say that the transportation array could also connect between planes, Han Shuo was indescribably astonished.
Common magic transportation arrays within the continent normally had a limitation of distance. For example, the transportation arrays between large cities in Lancelot Empire could only cover a few hundred kilometers. No one has ever heard of deploying a transportation array that could cover a distance of several thousand kilometers.
The further the limit of the transportation array, the higher the requirements were. Apart from the comprehension of the person setting up the array, a painstaking effort had to be expended on materials and finding a favorable location. A space sacred magus could only set up a transportation array that had a maximum distance of two thousand to two and a half thousand kilometers.
Yet, the large-scale transportation array in the center of the Cemetery of Death could, according to Wolf, transport across planes. This was extremely inconceivable to Han Shuo. When Wolf mentioned that the Cemetery of Death was a structure from a different plane, Han Shuo felt even more light-headed.
Seeing Han Shuo’s shocked expression, Wolf continued, “Of course, the Holy Land also has another saying. It is said that the transportation array can be moved and it was similar to a Magic Tower and was self-sufficient in attacking and defending. These were all legends handed down within the church, but I think they are trustworthy.
“As for the skeletal staff in your hands, you can see it as the key to entering the Holy Land. The tri-colored skulls on the skeletal staff each possess a strange power. Firstly, it can multiply the strength of a necromancer’s spells. I think you are already very clear about this power. The second strange power, you’ve already tried it on me. It is the miraculous ability to let a necromancer become youthful again. Not only can it be used by the necromancer in possession of the skeletal staff, it can also be used on other people.
The final power of the skeletal staff, which I’m unsure if you have tried it before, is rumored to be able to open the pathway to the netherworld. The user would be able to enter and exit the netherworld with just a thought. This ability is the most unfathomable. It can allow necromancers familiarize with the netherworld and let them reach a higher level of understanding in necromancy.
Each of the tri-colored skulls contained a different power. However, these three abilities are only theories that have been passed down in the Calamity Church for a long time. As for whether the skeletal staff has more secrets, it’s not something I’m able to comprehend. What I have just told you is all that I know.”
Han Shuo had seen all of the three peculiar abilities of the tri-colored skeletal staff. Hence, he believed Wolf without any doubt. Increasing the strength of magic, recovering one’s youth and voluntarily entering the netherworld with his soul. Han Shuo had experienced all of the three abilities, but other than the first ability to increase the strength of his spells, Han Shuo simply have not comprehended the other two mystical abilities.
In particular, Han Shuo didn’t know anything regarding the mysteries of the last ability. Both the times he entered the netherworld had all been him unexplainably entering and exiting. It was absolutely not how Wolf described, going back and forth with just a thought. It seemed that it wasn’t caused by the skeletal staff, rather it was that Han Shuo hadn’t truly grasped the key in utilizing the skeletal staff.
According to Wolf, once Han Shuo truly controlled the skeletal staff’s powers, he would really be able to go back and forth with just a thought, meet up with the little skeleton and the various zombies within the netherworld, easily investigate the unknown mysteries of the netherworld and clarify if the Cemetery of Death was really an unusual structure originating from the netherworld as Wolf had described.
“I came here in accordance with my superiors’ orders to tell you some secrets about the skeletal staff and the Holy Land. I think that once you know of these things, you should have a direction for exploration. Hehe. The Calamity Church will become your strong backing. You who wields the skeletal staff is an important part of our Calamity Church. You can deny this, but our core members have already acknowledged this.” Wolf smiled as he explained to Han Shuo who was currently deep in thought.
Han Shuo’s contemplation was interrupted by Wolf. Soon after, he gave Wolf a glance and said, “What you acknowledge should be the skeletal staff and the Cemetery of Death, right?”
“They’re all the same. The role of the skeletal staff on our Calamity Church is extremely important. Once you’ve truly grasped all the uses of the skeletal staff, there will be superiors who will personally come to find you.” Wolf replied without answering Han Shuo’s question directly.
“The skeletal staff is of great use to the Calamity Church? Is it primarily because of the last two abilities?” Han Shuo hesitated for a while before questioning closely.
Wolf stared blankly, thinking for a while before nodding as he replied, “You can put it that way. I’m not clear of the specific circumstances, but I know that the Calamity Church has some very powerful existences. However, due to their old age, their bodies have already become extremely weak. Some of them are even reaching the end of their lives. If the skeletal staff is able to grant them a restoration of their youth, these unparalleled existences would cause the Church of Light to tremble.
“And you are a person who can bestow upon them renewed physical strength and allow them to live longer. Hence, your importance to the Calamity Church is self-evident. More importantly, only you can open the Holy Land. In the future, secrets regarding the Holy Land would also need to be uncovered by you.”
