Yanhua rubbed its cool face against Morris, immediately displaying its new, upgraded abilities.
Suddenly, it transformed into a pool of flowing blackness, spreading along Morris's forearm—turning its own body into a shadow.
Then, shadows flowed down from Morris, gathered at his feet, and reshaped.
In the blink of an eye, a jet-black owl appeared before Morris.
At this moment, the Yanhua are no longer physical objects; their entire bodies are composed of constantly shifting shadows.
Morris crouched down and reached his hand towards the Yanhua, but his palm passed right through its body.
" Bone Summoning Spell."
He summoned bone spikes, but the bone spikes also passed through the shadow-shaped Yanhua, leaving only a few ripples.
"Interesting."
Yanhua in this form are completely immune to physical attacks.
What about magical attacks?
He waved his wand, and " Stupefy!"
The spell struck precisely, but the red light Silencio disappeared into the Yanhua the instant it touched it.
Also invalid.
At the same time, the Yanhua immediately returned to their original state, letting out a few weary cries.
The meaning is clear: this ability will be very tiring to use.
Morris was taken aback, then used his Magic Power Link to sense the state of the Yanhua.
Sure enough, its magic reserves had been depleted by nearly one-fifth.
From turning into shadow to the series of tests just now, it only took a minute or two in total.
"Five minutes..." Morris hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "That's enough."
Although the shadow state cannot be maintained indefinitely, it is enough to allow the Yanhua to avoid fatal damage.
Meow! Meow~
The Guantou hopped up and down around Morris's feet.
It couldn't wait to undergo the advancement ceremony as well.
"Don't rush."
Morris scooped up the Guantou and tossed it into another prepared magic circle nearby.
The process of upgrading Guantou is basically the same as that of Yanhua.
The difference is that Yanhua only consumed two hundred Gap Energy Crystal, while Guantou...
Morris had already thrown out nearly eight hundred energy crystals, but the Guantou in the center of the magic circle was still like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing energy.
That spendthrift cat!
It's worth noting that even the much larger Undead Unicorn only used about five hundred of them.
What makes this stupid cat so special?
Of course, complaints aside, such a high consumption means that the abilities gained after the Guantou advances will probably be incredibly powerful.
That's right, that's exactly it.
Morris continued to pour energy crystals into the magic circle.
"Bang!"
The next second, the Guantou exploded, just like the Yanhua before it.
However, this time the commotion was much greater.
The magic circle on the ground flickered a few times before being mostly erased, and the shockwave, mixed with violent air currents, swept outwards.
Morris instinctively used his bone shield to shield himself and the Yanhua.
Once everything had calmed down, he canceled the spell and looked at the center of the magic circle.
The Guantou has undergone complete remodeling, and its appearance remains unchanged. It sits on the ground looking bewildered, seemingly still unaware of what's going on.
" Guantou?" Morris asked tentatively.
The Guantou shuddered and blinked.
"Meow!"
It let out a cheerful cry, sprang up from the ground, and tried to run towards Morris, but lost its balance and tumbled twice before finally reaching Morris.
Morris's lips twitched.
Okay, I guess it's because it hasn't adjusted to its new body yet.
"Tell me, what changes have you noticed?" Morris asked.
After the Guantou steadied itself, a look of confusion flashed in its eyes, then it seemed to realize something, tilting its head and staring at a stain that had appeared on Morris's trouser leg at some unknown time.
It raised its right paw and gently flicked it towards the stain.
Meow--( Scourgify!)
The stain was wiped away instantly.
Morris raised an eyebrow.
That was a Scourgify.
The Guantou got even more excited and waved its paws a few more times.
Two more spells flew out, this time Stunning Spell and Disarming Charm.
The spell struck the wall of the room, leaving two faint marks.
"You don't need a wand to cast spells anymore?" Morris asked.
The Guantou nodded its head, revealing a proud expression.
"I see."
Morris stroked his chin.
Guantou has a history of Accidental Magic.
He guessed that this advancement ritual completely transformed its body, making it more suitable for casting magic and no longer needing a wand.
Like House-elf.
It's not bad.
A person, a cat, and an owl returned to the living room.
Morris lay down on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
He was relieved that the advancement ceremony went smoothly.
After all, the Guantou and Yanhua were his first undead creatures, and he was worried that something might happen to them.
Watching the Yanhua resting quietly on their perches, and the Guantou darting around and occasionally shooting out beams of light, Morris suddenly felt very at ease.
His undead creatures added a lot of color to his life.
" Guantou!" Morris shouted.
The Guantou immediately scurried onto the sofa, looking at him with expectant eyes.
"I'll teach you a spell," Morris said, "Called the Bone Summoning Spell. Learn it well."
Since the Guantou has already learned Meditation, learning a Bone Summoning Spell shouldn't be too difficult for it.
"Meow!"
The Guantou straightened up and saluted Morris.
Task guaranteed to be completed!
An hour later, Morris stared at the Guantou of food in front of him, unsure of what to say.
The Guantou has learned the Bone Summoning Spell.
Its magical talent is very strong, no, it should be said that it is terrifyingly strong.
At this moment, a model of Hogwarts Castle, taking up half the room, is neatly arranged on the living room carpet.
The main castle, towers, Astronomy Tower, Great Hall... every detail has been recreated.
That's right, this was just made bit by bit by the Guantou using the Bone Summoning Spell.
It's even continuing to expand.
It looks like a child happily building blocks.
At that moment, two red-haired figures appeared at the doorway.
"Whoa~" Fred drawled, "What is this? A miniature Hogwarts?"
"No, Fred, this thing isn't mini." George's tone was also surprised.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a model," Morris replied.
Fred and George exchanged a glance, walked around the castle, and sat down on the sofa opposite Morris.
Just as I sat down, the Skull Champion trotted over from the other side of the corridor.
Fred paused for a moment, "What's wrong with your skeleton? Ah, its clothes are really cool."
" The Champion now also works as a butler," Morris replied casually. "Just tell him if you'd like something to drink."
I want coffee.
"Me too."
After receiving the instruction, the Champion turned and went into the kitchen, and soon brought out two steaming cups of coffee.
"Very good." Fred took the coffee, his expression odd. "It would be even better if the cup wasn't made of bone."
