Chapter 532: Memory Transfer (2/2)

His consciousness unfolded. Black lightning flashed across his pupils as he narrowed his vision on Little Skeleton. The consciousness had drawn out memories pertaining to necromancy. Those memories assumed the state of speckles of starlight. Guided by the consciousness, they slowly moved into Little Skeleton’s soul through that big hand of Han Shuo’s gently placed on Little Skeleton’s skull.

This demonic technique of using consciousness to transfer memories required an extraordinarily high degree of skill and flair. It also required the practitioner to have proficient mastery and familiarity with the soul. Although the one on the receiving end did not require great skill and understanding, their soul needed to be extremely mighty.

A fragile or weak soul wouldn’t be able to withstand the invasion of the consciousness’ energy, and before the memories could enter, the soul would disintegrate and scatter in an instant, with absolutely no chance of recovering.

It was precisely because memory transfer was such a dangerous process that Han Shuo was so cautious. At first, his consciousness only carried the most minute and simple of memories, and was very gradual in transferring them into Little Skeleton’s soul, lest Little Skeleton couldn’t withstand it and an irreversible tragedy occured.

The fact proved that the Soul of Element formed by Little Skeleton after absorbing the Origin Crystal of Death was much stronger than Han Shuo had expected. Knowledge about the basics of necromancy, without the slightest impediment, entered Little Skeleton’s soul, and it was quickly absorbed and digested by Little Skeleton in a manner mysterious to Han Shuo.

Han Shuo was neither sad nor delighted. He was fully engaged in the task. The pair of eyes on his face beamed brilliant rays like black bolts of lightning. Using the most exquisite ability of his consciousness, he transferred his memories bit by bit to Little Skeleton through his right hand.

Although memory transfer was a very dangerous procedure, it did not wear down much of Han Shuo’s demonic yuan. The primary requirement for the procedure was that the executor had a refined realization and profound understanding of the soul.

In this situation, the necromancy magic that Han Shuo had cultivated for many years, a field which required expertise study and deep comprehension of the soul, gave him a clear advantage. Necromancy studies had a very high requirement for the cultivator in their knowledge of the soul. Thanks to his extensive knowledge and attainments on this subject, Han Shuo managed not to run into the slightest trouble on his very first attempt, and the memory transfer was carried out with extraordinary precision.

In this region densely covered with high-level undead creatures, Han Shuo was performing a most exquisite and abstruse demonic arts maneuver on Little Skeleton with his consciousness. If it all went as planned, it wouldn’t take too long before Han Shuo could export his many years of knowledge about necromancy into Little Skeleton’s soul. Then, Little Skeleton would come to gain a profound understanding of necromancy in the shortest time possible.

However, as Murphy’s Law has it, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Midway, two waves of ferocious dangers arrived from their front and back.

A kind of sinister soul energy suddenly erupted from within Little Skeleton’s body!

This sinister energy definitely had nothing at all to do with Little Skeleton. It carried a very obvious trait of plundering. Not only did it attempt to steal the memories that Han Shuo was transferring to Little Skeleton, but it also wouldn’t let Han Shuo’s and Little Skeleton’s souls slip by. It began wildly plundering the moment it appeared.

Han Shuo, whose eyes were radiating black flashes of lightning, could clearly see the sinister purple light circulating from Little Skeleton’s Purple Demon Eye. Han Shuo could sense that the sinister soul energy that suddenly erupted originated from that Purple Demon Eye worn on Little Skeleton’s left eye socket.

Back then, at the forest trolls’ sacred ground, Little Skeleton forcibly dug out this Purple Demon Eye from the sculpture of Datara that the forest trolls enshrined. When Little Skeleton first wore the Purple Demon Eye, both Han Shuo and Little Skeleton simultaneously felt the invasion of a kind of wicked energy. But at the critical moment, Little Skeleton put on that unique eye-patch, averting the calamity.

From that moment onwards, Little Skeleton continued to wear that peculiar eye-patch for a long time. It seemed to have the function of suppressing the wicked energy of the Purple Demon Eye, and Little Skeleton was unharmed all the while. Until one day, the eye-patch self-ignited. But from that time onwards the Purple Demon Eye did not continue giving out intense invasive energy. Han Shuo even assumed that Little Skeleton had completely familiarized himself with the bizarreness of the Purple Demon Eye, and thought that that unforgettable painful experience would not make its wrath known once more.

But at the most critical moment of the memory transfer process, the Purple Demon Eye which had not behaved abnormally for a long time, saw an unwelcome eruption with intense looting energy. This energy was even quicker and more violent than the previous times. It was forcibly stealing that memories Han Shuo was transmitting to Little Skeleton, and attempted to seize both souls of Han Shuo’s and Little Skeleton’s at astonishing rates.

At the same time, that mighty existence inside Nethervalley, perhaps it had sensed that Han Shuo and Little Skeleton abruptly ran into a trouble, let out a terrifying loud yell. All those mighty undead creatures inside Nethervalley seemed to have received the signal to attack. They stopped aimlessly and passively defending the Nethervalley and charged at the bald mountain atop which Han Shuo and Little Skeleton stood.

An aura of death equally matched with that of Little Skeleton rushed out from that Nethervalley as unannounced and instantaneously as that chilling screech. It charged out with its elite army of undead, preparing to seize the opportunity to detain Han Shuo and Little Skeleton in Nethervalley, forever.
