Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 127 - 127: 84. Deconstructing Profits from Blood

Now that Noland Lee had cracked the magic protective shield, wouldn’t the Empire side be like an unstoppable force, crushing the enemy with ease?

As if clinging to life, a Cannonball Giant crawled on the ground, the sound of its ammo loading echoing from inside its body.

Just as it was about to fire at the War Spirit in front of it, Lieutenant Slyke Thompson stopped it.

“No need to bother with that weakling. The Undead Cult requires the War Spirits stationed at guard posts to treat the watchtower as their phylactery and fight to the death. We’ve destroyed the magic shield and the watchtower, which is as good as destroying their phylactery. That guy will die soon; it’s not worth our ammunition.”

“Clack clack… ”

The moment Lieutenant Slyke’s words fell, a series of crisp noises sounded from the War Spirit that was leaning on the Bone Treasure Sword.

Its bones were cracking, and the Bone Treasure Sword had many cracks as well.

The crisp noises grew more intense, like firecrackers exploding.

The War Spirit’s body shed countless bone fragments and dust, and finally, amidst a deafening sound of cracking, it collapsed in a heap of bone fragments.

The black gem embedded in its forehead shattered instantly, sinking into the ruins.

The same happened to the Bone Treasure Sword in the War Spirit’s hand.

A chill wind blew, sweeping up the dust in the ruins, causing the soul of the War Spirit to scatter and perish on the spot.

What did Lieutenant Slyke Thompson just say?

That watchtower was the War Spirit’s phylactery!

Noland Lee’s pupils shuddered, and a trace of ecstasy flickered in his eyes.

He tried to suppress the joy in his heart, controlling his facial expressions and breathing rate, appearing perfectly composed, but his mind was already filled with thoughts.

What is a phylactery?

Hehe.

Just thinking about it, Noland Lee couldn’t help but secretly smile.

A phylactery is a death-type magic artifact used by sentient undead creatures to protect their souls.

Undead creatures will not die as long as their souls remain unvanquished.

The soul is the essence of an undead creature.

Powerful undead create a phylactery to properly store and protect their souls from being destroyed by enemies.

Put in game terms, a phylactery is the respawn point of an undead creature. As long as the undead creature’s soul isn’t destroyed, it can be revived through the phylactery.

Destroying the phylactery is equivalent to destroying the undead’s soul, which means completely killing the undead.

Noland Lee never thought that the Undead Cult would ask the War Spirits to treat the watchtower as their phylactery.

What a pleasant surprise!

[System Message: You and Tatis Empire’s elite squad have joined forces to destroy the phylactery of the Undead Watchtower Commander.] [Your battle contribution is: The integrity of the magic barrier.]

[You have obtained the following deconstruction results…]

Before Noland Lee could carefully examine the system message, Lieutenant Slyke Thompson’s voice came from outside the exoskeleton mezzanine:

“Jarvis, Mars, you two come out and don’t go too far, just stay nearby. Everyone else, proceed according to the plan. Squad 1 is in charge of scouting the southern river, Squad 2 is in charge of scouting the northern river. Squad 3 clears the ruins of the watchtower, leveling the ground to make space for intercepting the Undead cargo ship.”

Lieutenant Slyke Thompson arranged for two people to go to the ground level to send a message and notify the army to come quickly.

Noland Lee stepped on Slyke’s palm and came out of the exoskeleton mezzanine, landing on the ground.

He and Mars stood aside, watching the Biochemical Giants clean up the battlefield.

Nobody was more suitable for this heavy physical labor than the Biochemical Giants.

For a while, Noland Lee and Mars became the most relaxed people on the scene.

Only then did Noland Lee have the time to check his gains.

[System Message: Your deconstruction completion rate of the “War Spirit” increases from 0% to 27%.]

You have obtained a small portion of the panel information of the “War Spirit.” The key content is that the “War Spirit” is a First-order Extraordinary from the Undead Cult – Insanity Faction.]

You have completely obtained the “Spell Blueprint: Enslavement of

Deceased.” The magic panel is as follows:] [Name]Enslavement of Deceased [Type]Death-type Magic

[Level]Level 1, can be upgraded to Level 100

[Effect]

Control and enslave the lost souls spell, namely, Enslavement of Deceased.

Consume 1 point of energy and 0.1 point of Soul Strength to forcibly enslave 1 lost soul for battle.

During the spell’s duration, consume 1 point of energy every 10 minutes.

[Note]

The skill level of this technique is level 1, which means you can only enslave 1 lost soul.

The higher the life level of the enslaved soul when it was alive, the greater the probability of this skill failing. Currently, you can achieve a 100% success rate when attempting to enslave lost souls with ordinary life levels.

The Soul Strength you put into the enslaved target will not be returned upon its demise.

Noland Lee sat in the corner to rest and read the system message with his thoughts, excitedly clenching his fist.

‘Enslavement of Deceased’!

He finally obtained the spell that allows him to summon undead creatures on the spot!

Noland Lee tried to calm himself down and compared the ‘Enslavement of Deceased’ and the Necromancer Summoning Array, quickly discovering the differences between the two spells..
