Chapter 70: 58. Energy Explosion! (2 in 1)_2

“So there are actually dragons in this world. Why wasn’t it mentioned at all in the curriculum of Bowerthain City College?

“Oh, I get it now, dragons must be from other kingdoms.”

“Tatis Empire really is a closed-off country. Even the original master, who was a history teaching assistant, had no way of learning about other kingdoms…”

The image of Captain Murphy attacking a Cavern Stalker flashed in Noland Lee’s mind, and he still felt incredibly shocked when thinking about it now.

The general course of events went like this:

His Cavern Stalker was lying in the staircase between the third and second underground levels.

Faint sounds of fighting came from the third underground level, and he happened to hear them.

After that, a black light flew up from below.

Noland Lee found it strange, so he immediately used Deconstruction on the black light.

Upon learning from the system that the black light was Pim’s soul, Noland decisively used the Cavern Stalker’s Swift Lashing skill, shattering the crystal outside Pim’s soul and causing Pim’s soul to dissipate.

Captain Murphy arrived just in time to see the Cavern Stalker shattering the crystal.

She took the shattered crystal and before leaving, she killed the Cavern Stalker in one hit.

Due to the Soul Link, Noland Lee was observing the surroundings through the perspective of the Cavern Stalker.

When Captain Murphy attacked the Cavern Stalker, it was as if she was attacking Noland himself.

The gigantic frost dragon head, with its overflowing chill and surging white frost, every dragon scale and wisp of icy mist, entered Noland Lee’s mind with incredible realism.

In that moment, Noland deeply realized how vast the gap was between ordinary people and the extraordinary ones.

They were not even living beings of the same level, the extraordinary ones were practically like gods to ordinary people.

“From now on, I’ll make sure not to use the Soul Link when inputting commands for the bone cards, unless absolutely necessary. The feeling of being bitten by an ice dragon really hurt like hell…”

Noland touched his head and sighed quietly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Currently, he could barely be considered a half-baked apprentice Necromancer – the type who has no guidance from others.

His understanding of death-related spells came entirely from Deconstruction, and no one systematically taught him how to properly use death-related spells.

Undead creatures were meant to be cannon fodder.

Just think about it, a summoner absolutely cannot establish a Soul Link with cannon fodder.

Otherwise, the summoner could be mentally destroyed by a massive amount of pain and die from the agony.

Noland simply suffered from the lack of guidance, which led to his mistakes in this area.

However, this wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

His plan to have someone else do the dirty work succeeded!

Pim accidentally ran into Captain Murphy, and their battle was fleeting, ending with Pim’s disgraceful retreat.

The only flaw in the entire plan was personally remedied by Noland Lee.

“Phew–”

Noland took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and called up the system interface in his mind.

“When I smashed the crystal protecting Pim, it seemed like the system sent me some messages… Let me see what they were…”

Noland scanned the text content, his eyebrows raising slightly and a flash of delight in his eyes.

He actually killed two birds with one stone.

He used Passive Deconstruction to deconstruct two things at the same time! [System Message: You dealt fatal damage to the “Soul Retreat Crystal.”]

[Passive Deconstruction Activation!]

[The degree of deconstruction of the “Soul Retreat Crystal” increased from 0% to 100%.]

[Your energy points have been restored by 500 as a result.]

[You now have 500/15 energy points.]

[Before your energy points drop to below 15, the automatic recovery of energy points will be suspended.]

[You unlocked the standard template of the “Soul Retreat Crystal,” detailed information is as follows:]

“500 energy points! Holy shit! This is like instant wealth! The reward for passive deconstruction is so sweet, I love it-”

The corners of Noland’s mouth couldn’t help but lift.

He had been worried earlier that the energy points he got from passive deconstruction would be wasted since it exceeded the limit.

Now it seemed that he was worrying for nothing.

The energy points acquired through passive deconstruction directly added to the existing energy points and could exceed the limit.

This was good news.

The only downside was that the automatic recovery of energy points would be halted until the current energy points fell below the limit.

The longer the energy points exceeded the limit, the longer the automatic recovery would be stalled.

Noland would lose a lot of automatically recovered energy points due to this, which was undoubtedly a burden.

He needed to find a way to consume the overflowing energy points as soon as possible.

This made him feel a bit anxious.

However, Noland quickly controlled his emotions and continued to check the system interface.

[System Message: When you destroyed the Soul Retreat Crystal, you inflicted slight damage on the ethereal being “Pim’s Soul. “]

[Passive Deconstruction Activation!]

[The degree of deconstruction of “Pim’s Soul” increased from 0% to 7%.] [You acquired a memory fragment from “Pim’s Soul,” details are as follows:]

Pim’s memory fragments were too numerous, so Noland set them aside for the time being.

He selected the deconstruction result of the Soul Retreat Crystal and started reading it from the beginning..
