What Are You Waiting For?
[Talent: Resurrection of the Dead
Effect: After your death, you can return to the Material Realm as the deceased, at the cost of some knowledge. After performing a resurrection ritual, you can restore your body to that of a living person.
This is Talent that Grant acquired from the Spirit Realm, and to be Talent, it's an extremely powerful Talent.
Countless people receive Talent from the Spirit Realm that are utterly useless, such as Talent that only enhance a spell they have never even acquired.
His magic is useful at any time on Earth.
With this Talent, he was essentially given an extra life. When his enemies killed him, he would suddenly be resurrected as an undead, catching his opponents off guard.
Grant stood up from the ground, feeling his body, which had lost its sense of taste and smell, and even some of its sense of touch.
This is the price of being dead. As the dead, they no longer need to eat to sustain themselves; they only need something else: their soul.
He can draw souls from the living to fuel his actions.
"Anna, I shouldn't have agreed to let you join the team," Grant roared at Anna through gritted teeth.
As a dead man, his body no longer carried any obvious anger, so when he roared at Anna, it still sounded cold and lifeless to others, like that of a wild beast, completely devoid of emotion.
This was also what he disliked. Although he was secretly pleased to have a second life, to be honest, he didn't really want to become a dead person, because that would mean he had failed.
Anna picked up her Short Sword from the ground, assumed a fighting stance, her body taut like a bowstring, ready to defend against any possible attack from Grant.
Anna didn't understand why Grant was still alive after being shot in the neck, but his next words made it clear.
"I have to go through the ritual again to become a living being, what a hassle. I should have known better than to let you join the team, although we really do need a Ranger..."
"This is his Spirit Realm Talent! He can resurrect!!" Anna shouted directly. On the continent, if you hear anything related to rituals, there's a 50% chance it's a ritual performed to worship Deity.
There is also a 50% chance that the Talent was acquired from the Spirit Realm by people who have ascended from the Spirit Realm. Some Talent usually have special effects when paired with specific rituals, and these rituals are given to the person who receives the Talent along with the Talent.
Grant looked around and saw the scene of the battle.
"Has that Necro-Skeleton Mage been dealt with? Perfect timing..."
Grant's [Resurrection of the Dead] Talent allows you to set the time for resurrection after death; he specifically set Talent to activate after five minutes.
The goal is to join the battle at the right time and then reap the rewards on the Battlefield.
Fran and Anna killed the powerful Necro-Skeleton Mage, which surprised him somewhat, but it didn't matter.
He firmly believed that both the Necro-Skeleton Mage and the newly arrived Fran and Anna would be greatly weakened after this battle.
"It looks like you guys just helped me eliminate that Undead. Thank you so much..."
Even in his dying moments, he was worried about what would happen if Fran and the others failed to weaken the Undead.
Although Fran and Anna were able to take down the seven Skeleton Soldier in a short time, this Necro-Skeleton Mage was simply too powerful.
In the ten years he spent changing identities three times using his Talent [Resurrection of the Dead], he had never seen such a powerful First Order Magic Creature.
Regardless of how Fran and the others managed it, he firmly believed that as long as they were still First Order Profession, they must have paid the price in the battle just now.
Moreover, someone with the Talent for [resurrection] like him wouldn't gamble all his hopes on luck like Gavin did.
He dared to come down after careful consideration.
Grant clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedented energy filling his entire body—something he had never felt before when he was a dead being.
"Just as I thought, that item has a blessing effect on all undead creatures."
He glanced at the deep blue box at Fran's feet, a look of greed in his eyes.
He knew that the item had enhanced the Undead, causing the undead skeleton spell to become the way it was, so he wondered if that item might enhance all undead creatures.
When he came down, he was gambling on this sliver of hope, betting that the item would indiscriminately bless all undead creatures.
After all, if that item only buffed specific undead creatures, there wouldn't be so many First Order skeletons.
Normally, a First Order skeleton would require a lot of resources to train, so it's not like it's appearing here for free.
This is because the box indiscriminately blesses all undead creatures, which is why it works this way.
"I will make you my undead servants." A stiff smile appeared on his face.
After all, even normal First Order skeletons are hard to find, let alone these two First Order Profession in front of him.
He would naturally not give up on these two First Order Profession, and even his former teammate ' Gavin ' would become his undead servant.
To Grant's surprise, he didn't see any panic on their faces, or even any expression of alarm.
On their faces, Grant saw only mockery and disdain.
"Ha! They don't even realize they're about to die!"
He merely chuckled softly and had no intention of engaging with the two further.
It is still extremely dangerous for him, because the Mercenary are still searching for him outside, as are the Church of the Goddess of Ocean Currents and the orcs.
He had to act immediately, either using that item to build a small squad capable of fighting the enemy, or finding a place to hide as soon as possible.
With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately began to cast spells in his hands.
He wasn't afraid of being interrupted by the other party's spellcasting, because he knew that the object also enhanced his concentration on spellcasting. Even if a heavy axe cleaved his head open, it wouldn't interrupt his spellcasting.
The spell he is currently channeling, [Frost Sweep], is a powerful spell he obtained from the Spirit Realm. This First Order spell he acquired can be channeled in just three seconds.
His idea was good, and his actions were correct, but he encountered an enemy that he could not defeat no matter what.
A second after he began channeling, a powerful, overwhelming magical aura appeared around him, filling him with extreme terror.
He looked at Fran, who was casting the spell. Fran's face held a hint of speechlessness, as if to say, 'I'm Channeling Spell, what are you waiting for?'
Fran began Channeling Spell while Grant and Anna were talking.
