Chapter 90: [Veil of Darkness]

Chapter 90: [Veil of Darkness]

At the same time, I create once again a spell, and since I have decided to use the reward granted by the System to get a utility spell, I have to finally create my defensive spell. But for this, I will have to wait a bit, I need to have my entire MP pool to do it. Around me, only melted armors and destroyed bodies. While the arena made by Krieg didn't disturb the armors of the Chosen, it looks like time was not suspended. What really happened Oslo?

(Like I said, it's a battlefield out of time and space itself. Sometimes, it turns month into minutes, sometimes the opposite, hours into a day. But most of the time, it just slows down, meaning days turn into hours for example. Here I think, remembering the state of Daryl, your nine days turned into one day I think. For example, the battle between my Hero and the Hero of Aria during the Portal War lasted five days and on my world, it was a month, and on her world just a minute. It is completely random.)

And is it possible to notice it and encircle that thing? For example, let's say we use that peculiar oath to bind the Hero of an unknown God, a new-born one. Is it possible, without seeing the dispersion that is provoked, to know that a special arena was created?

(No, it is truly impossible, even with direct sight from a Hero and his God watching behind him. If you provoke a massacre right before and they surround the place because of the bodies, it is possible to be in the same situation as Daryl, where you see a random creature appearing right in front of you. But you can't expect it, that's the point.)

Great, so since I managed to kill that Prophet, that means I should be stronger than most of Heroes in this world. Except maybe the one serving Salazar, but for all the heretics one, that would be a piece of cake to slaughter them. And I have now even a way to trap them in a duel against me. A duel or no matter the destruction that I provoked, I will be able to get away without alerting the holy kingdom and his Church.

After a few hours, I finally reach the point where I can create my long awaited shield. I think of him surrounding my very body, not expanding in the air like the rest. Because doing it like that can protect my nearby skeletons, but I don't really care about them. I mean, they can already protect themselves, so I don't need to protect them myself. No, I need something to defend only me, and especially against assassins. And a big shield floating around me is useless against a dagger planted in my neck. The proof was my assault with my skeleton warriors, back in the lair of Shadow. My undead managed to go through the magic shield and slew the magicians.

And since I don't really know how number one managed to create his magic shield, I think of mine dark, black, filled with the aura of dead and devastation. I have no idea if this is the way to do it, but I have to try. A shield that repels the bolts, destroy the spells coming at me, prevent my dear back to be stabbed. Now, create this perfect means of defense. Create, my, SHIELD!

"Congratulation to the user for creating a new spell. Please say its name."

"-16HP"

OUCH. Eh [Self-Healing] has improved. Does that mean I have turned into a masochist? No, it is only for science. And if my shield can't even stand against a rock, what can I expect against an arrow, a bolt or a sword? This is the only time where I will have to hurt my precious me, I have to be strong. Come on number one, do your worst, I will

"-23HP"

NOT THAT WORST! We kept doing this, for hours, this time the shield was very hard to improve. At one point, we had to stop because I only had a third of my life. During that short break, I manage to see the effect of multiple spells. First, my HP regeneration. Each level grants me 10HP recovery each hour, so level 2 means 20 HP. That's both good and too little. But at least, I don't have to eat a body, eat a body, eat a body? I still have a body. Daryl, I am coming. After eating him, I have gained nothing but I have recovered nearly all of my life. That's a shame the rest was all melted by me.

Then my regeneration of mana, it has gone to a huge number, 85MP for each hour. But the drawback of my magic shield can be felt. After many calculations, I have arrived at a number, it's 50MP of consumption by an hour. That means, if he is permanently cast, it reduces my regeneration of mana to only a third of what it is. Yes, a big third, but still not half. That's why even after a few hours, I still can't create a skeleton magician.

But after eating the mummified Daryl, the nearby useless Chosen armors give me an idea. I still need a vanguard for my army, and those armors would be extremely useful. Of course, most are partially destroyed, but even if all have melted a bit, because of my aura, they are still extremely powerful. They managed to bear the firepower of my army for a very long time. It is potentially the best armors that I have seen, besides the one of the dwarf. But the dwarf armor was not tested, I only fled when I saw him. So I can't judge.

After removing some of the parts that were truly destroyed, I manage to recover nine sets of armors. I have more than fifteen axes in good shape, but with no armors, it would make my skeletons visible. So I will have to make my undead servants carry them until I can create more warriors. You can resume the training number one.

The only thing displeasing me is to let some normal skeletons wear this powerful equipment. I have managed to create some magicians, and even if they were costly, they were extremely efficient. So why I can't create some specials skeletons or undead and make them wear the Chosen armors? That would be interest
