GDK 540: Two Demonic Weapons
A piece of grey-white gravestone was embedded on Little Skeleton’s chest. The gravestone bore intricate and cryptic inscriptions on it and gave off an intense aura of death. It had formed some kind of connection with Little Skeleton’s soul, giving him an unconventional air of might.
After forcibly occupying all of Haley’s memories, although Han Shuo had yet to personally visit the Nethervalley, he was completely familiar with each and every stone inside the valley. He took only one look at the gravestone inside Little Skeleton’s chest and immediately cried out in surprise, “That gravestone in your chest, is it the one inside Nethervalley?”
The reason that Haley the basegod of death remained in Nethervalley for so long was that the valley contained a gravestone that possessed an unusual ability. That gravestone also had the miraculous ability to cause the element of death to converge. Therefore, Haley’s strength would increase more rapidly in the Nethervalley than anywhere else. He also stayed there as the gravestone could not be moved.
Overlooking its far smaller size and higher level of intricacy, that gravestone on Little Skeleton’s chest looked very much the same as the one in Nethervalley that Han Shuo remembered. Han Shuo asked so for that reason.
“Yes, father. As you have asked me to investigate the gravestone, I surveyed it using my soul for a while. Someway and somehow, this thing entered my body. It could help me absorb the energy of death around me faster. It’s very useful,” Little Skeleton replied.
Han Shuo was shocked. He recalled that Haley had spent nearly forever on it, and yet he couldn’t move it even an inch, hence he stayed in Nethervalley. Who could have predicted that in just that little while Little Skeleton was in Nethervalley, he would manage to miniaturize that elephantine gravestone and put it into his body, and even turn it into a wonderful treasure that could grow his strength. These facts were far from Han Shuo had anticipated.
“Hmm, did you sense anything wrong with it? Could it turn out like the Purple Demon Eye where some mighty soul will suddenly emerge from it with the intention of occupying your soul?” Han Shuo questioned after thinking for a short while. He became instinctively alert of any peculiarity on Little Skeleton’s body after having encountered the sneak attack from the Purple Demon Eye.
“No. I even seem to understand some things through this gravestone. But as it wasn’t too long ago that I managed to put it into my body, I have yet to truly figure out the full story,” Little Skeleton replied.
After staring at Little Skeleton for a long while, Han Shuo put on a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, “Fine. Just be careful. There better not be any problems. Otherwise, we are going to be in deep trouble again.”
“Got it, father. I will be careful.”
Han Shuo did not continue with an elaborate speech. He repeated the same steps he made at the netherworld before in preparation to inculcate his memories of necromancy to Little Skeleton using his consciousness. Although Han Shuo’s main soul was distinctive from his other two avatars, his memories were shared and common between all three souls.
In other words, all three souls, may it be the main body or the avatars, could access each other’s memories and knew each other’s experiences. Thus, Han Shuo’s consciousness was completely aware of the death basegod avatar’s comprehension of necromancy. Subsequently, the consciousness would have no problem transferring those memories into Little Skeleton’s soul.
However, this time, Han Shuo still wasn’t able to have his wish fulfilled. This time, it was the gravestone on Little Skeleton’s chest that was the source of interruption.
That gravestone Little Skeleton had recently obtained, seemed to contain some kind of miraculous energy, protecting Little Skeleton’s soul from any foreign intrusion. Even Han Shuo, as Little Skeleton’s master and someone who shared a special connection with him, couldn’t make it through the shield for the purpose of instilling memories into Little Skeleton’s soul.
What surprised Han Shuo the most was that the energy was not subjected to Little Skeleton’s control. Whenever Han Shuo’s consciousness attempted to enter, that energy would automatically emerge and form a safeguard, forcibly blocking down Han Shuo’s consciousness and those memories.
This energy carried an intense element of death. Han Shuo dared not to make any clashing with Little Skeleton’s soul rashly. Otherwise, he could very possibly bring on the destruction of Little Skeleton’s soul. Therefore, Han Shuo only attempted for a while before disappointedly giving up and explaining the issue to Little Skeleton.
“Father, I sense the energy too. However, it feels as though it’s just protecting me and has no intention of causing me harm,” Little Skeleton finally replied after a long breath of silence.
“Yes, the energy was definitely trying to protect you. I can feel it,” Han Shuo then continued with furrowed brows, “But then, I won’t be able to teach you a certain comprehension for necromancy through this method. Sigh, let’s forget about it for now. Perhaps we’ll try again when you learn to control this energy and the secrets of the gravestone in the future.”
