He needed a truly skilled craftsman, like Master Tyra, to arm himself with an army fully equipped with the best mithril armor and weapons.
“Who would have thought that a tiny bit of mithril would be the key to fighting against undead creatures like Snow Demons?” The Earl of Silver Mountain muttered to himself, waiting for the meeting with the master three days later.
In Icewind City, Levi quickly gathered all the materials from the Jade Chamber of Commerce and the Shining Tavern to cast the Seal of Hell.
After confirming that no one was following him, he quickly returned to the small island of Heavenly Lake.
Harris followed Levi and hovered in the sky, keeping watch for him.
On the small island, the Magic Shark’s corpse was already cold.
However, the temperature was relatively cold, so it did not rot so quickly.
This was especially so since the Magic Shark was a grand knight with an extremely powerful body.
“Preservatives, mercury…”
Levi counted the materials one by one.
Before casting the Seal of Hell, the corpse must be embalmed first, filled with mercury, and wrapped up like mummification.
After half a day, he was almost done.
Levi took out the Core of the Undead.
The blue mist, which resembled the soul fire in some undead skeletons’ eyes in games, was beautiful.
Levi had long since memorized the Seal of Hell’s gestures.
Soon, he finished forming the seals.
At the same time, he muttered under his breath. He was using the Constantine Family’s special language to communicate with hell.
“Lonely Soul of Hell, I grant you a new life.”
Boom!
Power came from the dark.
The Core of the Undead slowly spun, emitting a dazzling blue light. Then, it drilled into the Magic Shark’s head, which was beyond recognition due to the burns.
Levi grabbed the Seal of Protection and Seal of Flames casting materials, ready to deal with unexpected situations.
After a few breaths, blue flames suddenly emerged from Magic Shark’s eye sockets. Waves of frost power covered his face, emitting traces of cold air.
A moment later, the blue flame began to shrink and finally became the size of a green bean. It was like a shining blue eye.
Not long after, Magic Shark’s dead body began to tremble. Then, the corpse strangely stood up straight like the zombies in the movies.
Levi was shocked. He used the Seal of Flames in his right hand and the Seal of Flames in his left. Black gas also covered his upper body.
However, Magic Shark’s corpse did not move after he stood up.
Levi continued to form hand seals according to the Seal of Hell. Then, the corpse also began to walk. From the initial stiffness, he gradually became smoother, and in the end, he resembled a real person.
“This is much better than I expected,” Levi praised in his heart.
Then, he ordered Magic Shark to attack a tree.
Magic Shark charged forward like a locomotive, picking up the broadsword he previously owned on the ground!
Rumble!
Black gas coiled around the Magic Shark’s arm and finally appeared on the broadsword.
Kacha.
The Magic Shark easily cut down a large tree as thick as a bucket.
“Good fellow. He could even use black gas.” “He’s pretty powerful.”
Levi was shocked by the great system.
He tried to make Magic Shark make combat moves.
After playing for over ten minutes, Levi had almost completely learned to control Magic Shark.
He discovered that Magic Shark’s combat strength was much weaker than when he was alive.
However, he was still much stronger than a peak knight. He could barely be considered a grand knight.
Levi used himself as an experiment and found that Magic Shark could get better at fighting him. Magic Shark was still considered very strong if Levi did not use his trump cards.
“Very good; my battle prowess has increased again, although it’s an external force.”
Levi was very excited. With the help of Magic Shark, his strength had increased by another level. Although Magic Shark’s strength could only be considered half a grand knight, he was a loyal puppet.
To Levi, this was much more useful than having a grand knight as his subordinate.
After all, his subordinates might betray him.
However, Magic Shark would not!
After he was done, he looked at his proficiency panel.
As expected, a new skill appeared.
[Seal of Hell: Level 1 (5/1000)]
“Heh, the third seal has finally appeared on the proficiency panel. No, I’ve only cast the spell once. How did my skill proficiency increase so much?”
From Levi’s research on the Seal of Flame and Seal of Protection, he could tell that each cast would increase his proficiency by 1 point. This was completely different from cultivating the breathing technique.
Until Levi saw a line of notifications at the bottom of the proficiency panel:
[Seal of Hell Proficiency +1]
[Seal of Hell Proficiency +1]
[Seal of Hell Proficiency +1]
Suddenly, Levi understood something.
He only needed to continuously use hand seals to control Magic Shark to fight for a long time.
The proficiency of the Seal of Hell would increase by 1 point every time.
“This skill will level up quickly.”
“However, the energy stored in each Core of the Undead is limited. Every time Magic Shark fights, it will consume a lot of the Core’s energy, so there is still a limit.”
Levi had Magic Shark stop by making an ending hand gesture.
The Core of the Undead in Magic Shark’s eye socket again appeared in Levi’s hand.
Levi saw that one-twentieth of the Core’s energy had been used.
“In other words, after using up all the Core’s energy, the Seal of Hell will only gain 100 Proficiency Points. I’ll need 10 such Cores to reach Level 2. Where the f*ck am I going to find so many? Am I going to have to kill Snow Demons myself?”
Levi did not dare to play around anymore.
“Perhaps the quality of this Core of the Undead is too low.”
According to the handbook, the stronger the Undead, the higher the quality of the Core of the Undead.
Levi then injected the Core of the Undead into Magic Shark’s body.
This time, he did not let the Magic Shark use the black gas to fight. He only let it follow him.
Levi discovered that Magic Shark only consumed a little of the Core’s energy if he used normal commands and did not get him to fight.
At this rate, he would only consume one percent of his energy in a day.
“I get it. The Core of the Undead is the battery. Walking puts the battery on standby mode while fighting actively consumes energy.”
Levi gradually understood the principle behind the Core of the Undead.
This way, he could be at ease. He was worried that Magic Shark would need a lot of energy to walk, so this Seal of Hell would be too useless.
He could not just make a big coffin, put the Magic Shark in it, and carry it on his back daily.
Levi then used the materials he had prepared beforehand to put on makeup for
Magic Shark and, at the same time, covered up the corpse stench on Magic Shark’s body. Then, he let Magic Shark put on his armor, iron helmet, and broadsword and brought him back to Icewind City under cover of night.
The next day, Levi found a place to reforge the extremely recognizable broadsword into a normal one.
He had also personally tailored a set of fully armed armor for Magic Shark.
His armor hid Magic Shark’s entire body. Coupled with the airtight iron helmet, it was difficult for others to notice his abnormality.
Although there was still a slight stench, many nobles, and Imights did not care much about hygiene. It was normal for there to be a stench..
