"Try saying something" Faraday stepped back, tapping his metallic fingertips against each other, he wouldn’t have expected such early success in any other case, but he firmly believed that something so mundane shouldn’t pose a problem for Loimos and his seemingly perfect death force.
For a few moments, only small metal clinks could be heard throughout the oversized throne room.
Until words spoken in an unknown language rippled over them, Faraday was pleased with the results, Loimos had learnt the death tongue already, which was more than enough to properly communicate.
What took him aback however, was his voice, it was only natural for an undead to carry no tone or emotions in their voices, but never had he expected himself to be dumbfounded by such an utter lack of everything. Find more adventures on mvl
’That even got me to pause for a moment, this will get the living thinking back on the choices that led them to this’ in any case, it was now time to get down to business.
"The pale tongue was unlocked too" in the same truly dead tone, Loimos informed Faraday that they were doubly successful.
After settling down, Faraday truly began explaining things, though knowing that Loimos could speak, but didn’t was even more off putting than simply having him be mute, he ignored this as he quickly explained a few basic things, Faraday and the living seemed to share the same ideas of what the categories to classify energy talent were.
"Do not bother with those however, death force manipulation will become as natural as killing to you, that is for certain" Faraday instead began explaining about other stuff in quick succession, teaching from undead to undead was rather simpler than living teaching to living.
Undeads couldn’t really forget things, Loimos being pretty much the ideal version of one meant that Faraday could just ramble on without stopping and without caring, Loimos would just remember everything as clearly forever.
"There are sixteen stats that I know of, however, we undeads only have fourteen, vitality and endurance have no meaning to us, endurance is literally meaningless in its effect, as for the effects of vitality, which is to increase HP and HP regeneration, as well as regular health, well, for us it is added to the effect of constitution, that’s another advantage we have"
Faraday could tell that Loimos could already feel his death force clearly, so he skipped the first part and asked him to shoot something straight away, the metal mage took a few steps back just in case.
Loimos had heard him say a lot of things, he had already explained what was necessary to use any sort of energy, feel it inside of oneself, make it move a bit and then visualise the desired effect.
Loimos only aimed to fire pure death force, without shaping or transmuting it into anything else, he raised one arm and pointed his index finger at the pillar.
Nothing happened for the next few minutes.
The death force was circulating around quite well, without any hindrance and was going where Loimos wanted it to, but shooting it out of his body wasn’t as simple as willing it, one needed to try for quite a while to accomplish it.
Thankfully, he could try indefinitely, without suffering from any sort of exhaustion.
Faraday stared up, focused on something only he could see, he had noticed strange activities up in the dungeon for a little while now, a certain group of young livings coming in and out.
He brought his attention back to Loimos as death force exited from his finger, only to dissipate chaotically in the air.
"Seems like your death force is too good, it is trying to go ahead and reach for something alive rather than be shot in a straight line" that wasn’t too unusual.
"Let us see for body reinforcement and conversion next"
