Weight requirement: 80 points.
Basic attributes:
Strength: E-
"Neural reflexes: C+"
Hardness: A-
"Resilience: D-"
"Demon Guard: A"
Common features:
"Yellow Sand" - Grants the individual the [Dark Magic System - Sand] (This ability requires the individual to improve their proficiency through self-cultivation and gradually unlock advanced sand abilities).
Examples of system capabilities:
①Sandification - Through direct contact, both organic and inorganic matter will undergo structural transformation at the molecular level, forming a large amount of silica crystalline sand.
②. Sand Armor - Constructs a highly dense sand barrier to block any form of damage. This ability is even more effective when used in conjunction with the "Scarab" (inscribing formations into the sand can also block magic and soul damage).
③. Sandstorm - Consumes a large amount of energy to create a desert storm powerful enough to tear everything apart.
In addition, the arm also has the property of being a 'sand body', which allows it to regenerate through sand as long as it is not completely removed.
[Unique Features]
"Power of the Undying Priest LV.1" - Infused with the 'Will of the Undead Priest,' increasing affinity for ' Dark Magic.' Additionally, when an individual casts Dark Magic, there is a chance to shorten or even eliminate casting time.
(This effect can be improved as the arm develops.)
Note: The arm was taken from the not-yet-fully-restored [Undead Priest - Imhotep (Second Stage)], therefore, this arm still has the potential for further improvement.
Ordinary flesh and blood cannot satisfy its needs; the bodies of some Ancient Egyptian Relics, Heart of the Ancients, or high-level Dark Magic beings can meet the needs of this arm.
Slogan: Sands of the desert, rise and block off the sun.
"Wow!!"
After reading the description on the paper, Han Dong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
It completely meets all the requirements and conditions put forward by Han Dong.
It has the same quality as the Clown Arm, both being Violet Unique.
The required load is 10 points more than the Clown Arm... but still within the 100-point limit.
Most importantly, the unique properties associated with this arm are quite powerful.
Just the fact that it increases an individual's affinity for [Dark Magic] made Han Dong think that spending 8,000 Copper Coin was well worth it.
"A-level Demon Guard, through a complete [Sand] magic system! Infused with the will of Undead Priest... and it even has growth potential, my god!"
Han Dong couldn't wait to have such an arm attached to his body.
Excitement aside...
After calming down, Han Dong still asked about the Artificial Intelligence equipment in the laboratory.
"Will this bordering arm pose a danger to me?"
"The individual has been detected to possess magical physique and has a suitable Load Value... The Grand Priest's residual will has been removed during the detection process, and there is no danger."
"Hmm... has it already been removed?"
"Meaningless, useless, and dangerous elements will be automatically removed from the laboratory..."
Using the cutting tools in the laboratory, Han Dong easily severed his relatively fragile left arm completely.
The plague colony within the body, combined with the effects of the G-Virus, quickly stopped the bleeding.
Since the remaining consciousness in the "Hand of the Undying Priest" had been completely cleared, Han Dong was no longer affected by the sandification when he grabbed the arm with his right hand.
The notch is close to the arm.
As it approached, spotted tentacles sprouted from the cut on Han Dong's left shoulder to 'welcome' the Mummy Arm.
Gaga gaga.
Tentacles serve as important connecting media.
"Arm is being connected; load limit has been changed: 280/300"
The next day.
[library]
At the request of Vice Curator Lady Hera, Han Dong will undergo a one-month training and assessment.
At 9:00 a. m., Han Dong arrived at the third library on time.
Demps was naturally there as well.
"Coincidentally... the second-year students in the library will be taking their Quarterly Exam at the [Magic Nexus] today. I've already added your name to the list, come with me."
"Quarterly Exam?"
Han Dong, as Mysticism Apprentice, has never experienced any form of examination.
In the Mysticism Department, learning is entirely based on following one's own mentor and doing whatever one wants; there is no systematic learning like lectures or exams.
Of course, the Witchcraft Apprentice in the Dead Water Swamp still have relatively detailed learning and assessment standards.
Demps is here too.
The two followed Vice Curator Hera out of the library building and headed towards the special area located due south – the [Magic Nexus].
As the name suggests, this place belongs to the Magic Hub area.
The various reading rooms in the library building are designed to provide students with quiet spaces for reading.
The Magic Nexus provides students with a real-world training ground for magical practice.
The [Magic Nexus] is a giant wooden stake that spirals towards the sky, with different levels of its trunk corresponding to portals to different training spaces.
The concentration of magical elements varies greatly in different spaces, and some spaces even contain "Elemental Giants" so that magic apprentices can directly conduct practical training.
Hera led the two through a tall tree branch into the portal.
The training ground is a pure white cube-shaped space, with various elemental light points floating inside.
Casting spells here can reduce spell consumption to some extent.
Currently, there are over a hundred magic apprentices gathered here, and many of the responsible mentors are also here.
The person in charge of this Quarterly Exam is the Vice Curator, Hera.
"Vice Curator!"
As Hera led the two students in, everyone bowed their heads in respect.
"... Demps."
Many students immediately noticed the British-style young man with a unique aura standing next to Hera.
Demps's reputation had been growing steadily in the first year, and he was known to everyone in the library.
Many girls are also fans of Demps, but unfortunately Demps seems to only be interested in older men.
Who is that person?
"Never seen it before..."
Some students also noticed the unfamiliar young man following behind Hera. His average height of 1.7 meters and his thin, sallow body made him appear weak, a physique that even ordinary magicians couldn't match.
"Today's Quarterly Exam will be conducted in two parts."
First, I will create a high-level training doll in the arena. You will need to take turns casting your most powerful spells to attack or heal the training doll. The doll will judge whether you have reached the basic standard by absorbing your spells.
Second, apprentices who reach the basic level will be successively dressed in "Magic Robe" to engage in large-scale melee battles.
Once the "Magic Robe" is broken, the match is lost.
The other teachers and I will grade your performance as the final grade for this Quarterly Exam.
Never continue casting spells after your "Magic Robe" is damaged, or you will be severely punished.
It seems that spaces are automatically removed when posting, and hyphens are used to separate words.
