Black Sand

Mizya rubbed his two small, withered, black hands together. "My lord... the Dark Magic I am skilled in is not entirely of the crow people; it is also related to my own unique characteristics."

It is considerably more difficult to learn than other advanced spells.

"Sir, you won't be out of town for very long this time. Are you sure you want to learn?"

"How about this, you show me first."

Han Dong immediately had Dr. Swollen send over a live Ghoul, wanting to see how effective it would be.

"My lord, please take a good look..."

The Mizya stretched out a jet-black arm.

Suddenly, blood vessels bulged out from under the skin, as if converging towards the tip of the palm.

Gaa!

A black beak appeared in the palm of the Mizya.

The fully open black beak was filled with wriggling, tentacle-like blood vessels.

Girgh!

When aiming at a living Ghoul five meters away.

The blood vessels in the beak immediately arrange themselves into neat circles, creating a powerful vortex between them.

"This!!!"

What happened next made Han Dong's eyes widen in surprise.

The Ghoul were completely defenseless.

A trickle of red life essence was forcibly extracted from the Ghoul's skin.

After a brief period of Affliction struggle, the robust Ghoul Transform Into a dried-up corpse.

"If we had encountered a [Demon] like Mizya during our last Secret Stone Incident... there would probably have been casualties, or even total annihilation."

Indeed, even among the demons, there are distinctions of rank.

Adelaide Stonebreaker is probably a recently advanced Otherworldly being... Mizya is likely an elder of the Crowman Tribe.

"My lord, what do you think?" Mizya asked.

"Not bad! By the way, can you directly use the life essence you absorb to replenish yourself?"

Mizya nodded. "Yes, but it also has great limitations. I will tell you the details later... This kind of move seems very strong, but there are actually many things to pay attention to."

"Speaking of ' Life Siphon '? I'm also quite interested in this kind of spell that converts 'life' into 'energy'... After all, sometimes we run into situations where we don't have enough energy."

"Let me demonstrate. Please use the magic eye on your forehead to observe the transformation process within my body... The entire process will be completed in just one second, so please make sure you see it clearly."

Mizya removed all the defensive barriers made of feathers so that Han Dong could thoroughly observe the condition inside its body.

The energy storage core of the Mizya is similar to that of humans, located in the brain, but it is stored separately in three raven heads.

"Life Siphon"

Each of the internal organs has a nerve-like thread extending from its surface, connecting it to the three brains.

Completed instantly.

Mizya's vitality was noticeably reduced, but the energy it had just Life Drain absorption was completely replenished.

Quick and convenient, it can instantly restore energy in critical moments.

"A portion of the life essence of all organs will be drawn away."

"Regarding... using ' Life Siphon ' requires considering one's own condition. However, with your strategy and planning abilities, there shouldn't be any problem."

Are you sure you want to learn? If so, we can get right to it... otherwise, I'm worried we won't have enough time.

"Okay! Let's begin."

"My lord, please follow me to the cemetery area... The training process will consume a lot of corpses, so please have the doctor prepare at least 200 Ghoul for you to practice with."

"Um."

"Please be prepared, sir, as your constitution is different from mine."

Learning this kind of magic requires more than just effort... If necessary, I will perform 'skin-opening and line-drawing' on you, sir.

"Good!"

For ten days, Han Dong basically stayed in the cemetery and didn't come out.

Their total sleep time doesn't even add up to 30 hours.

This is what it means to be driven by interest. Han Dong was 'fascinated' by this new and powerful thing... After ten days of training, Han Dong was finally able to achieve the most basic "Life Drain".

It can absorb life forms of lower level than itself from a distance of no more than one meter.

The closer the distance, the better the effect.

However... Han Dong's ultimate goal in leaving the city this time has also been achieved.

The idea of fusing two different systems of Dark Magic was realized for the first time... and the effect was extraordinary.

Even Elder Mizya found it unbelievable.

Underground tomb.

A Ghoul was bound in front of him.

When Han Dong extended his left hand, unlike Crow Elder, no beak or indescribable vascular tentacles grew from his palm.

Buzz~~

About an inch from the palm of your hand, a circle of black characters originating from Ancient Egypt forms in the air, signifying the completion of the "entrance" through which Life Drain.

As the text rotates, numerous small, ethereal black arms (like those of a 3- to 5-year-old child) appear out of thin air. These arms burrow into the Ghoul's body and quickly 'grab' out its life essence.

Its speed is even faster than the "Life Drain" cast by the Crow Person Elder.

Moreover, individuals subjected to Han Dong's ' Life Drain ' will directly turn into a pool of Black Sand, with no possibility of being 'recycled'.

"Incredible! The fusion of yellow sand and Crow Magic has such an effect... As expected of the Yellow Robe Envoy, Your future is limitless."

"Very strong... but the energy consumption is also staggering."

Han Dong felt a little dizzy, as if his body had absorbed all the energy while his brain was completely drained.

"If you can successfully break through to the next level, all the spells you are currently proficient in will undergo a qualitative change and you will be able to use them for a long time... The knights of the same rank in the Holy City will never be a match for you." The Crow Person Elder was unknowingly becoming more and more enthusiastic in his flattery.

Han Dong's vision has never been limited to knights of the same rank.

With a serious expression, he squatted in front of the Ghoul that had turned into Black Petrification, and picked up a pile of black sand.

"Let's talk about it after the seed breaks... Speaking of which, the fusion of the two spell systems should be a completely new type, right? How about we call it [Black Sand]? This kind of system seems to have great potential for future development."

"Yes, absolutely unique."

"Elder Miz, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"It is my honor! Your carriage is ready outside."

"Um."

Completely relaxed after finishing his business, Han Dong was so exhausted that he fell asleep standing up.

The Crow Person Elder had no improper thoughts and immediately helped the man onto the carriage.

Mr. Black and White's personal vehicle is quite intelligent; Even Though Han Dong is fast asleep, it knows exactly how to return to the city... It also picks up another exhausted young man at the edge of the cliff.

They drove the two of them back to the city.

When the carriage entered the city.

Mr. Black and White also appeared in the carriage, staring at the two sleeping juniors with a gratified smile.
