Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 229 [Ghost Arrow], "Top-quality Arrow Embryo", Complement of Soul Attack Methods

After the concentration of the ancient frost hydra bloodline reached 6%, Ronan's talent in ice magic had reached an enchanting level.

He didn't even need to do anything. He simply raised his hand and let his mental power surge out. In this dark wilderness, a large number of free ice energy particles came toward him as if worshipping, forming dense pillars of frost, like a giant blue python roaring to meet the fireball that was falling like a meteorite.

The difference between wizards and Warcraft is that for wizards, casting spells is a skill, while for Warcraft, casting spells is an instinct.

Today, Ronan's attainments in ice magic at the fog level have reached the level of "instinct".

"Boom!"

The pillar of frost collided fiercely with the fireball that fell from the sky without any fancy moves. The two extreme energies collided with each other. The deep blue light in Ronan's eyes flickered, looking mysterious and weird in the night.

The robe fluttered, the white hair on his back rose up, and the terrifying icy force surged up layer by layer. The two forces of fire and ice were deadlocked dozens of meters above the ground, splashing out brilliant streams of light interwoven with red and dark blue.

After a dozen breaths, all the flames in the sky were extinguished, leaving only a mass of ice and frost.

The campfire at his feet had gone out, and the rabbit meat that had been roasted to perfection had long since frozen into a hard lump of ice.

"boom--"

A huge lump of ice with a diameter of more than ten meters, emitting a strong chill, fell heavily to the ground, creating a pit of moderate depth on the ground.

Ronan took a step forward, pushed away the white mist that filled the field, and looked inside through the ice. He was shocked to find that inside was an exquisitely shaped red women's cane.

It is about the thickness of a finger and looks like the handle of an umbrella. It is bright in color and decorated with many light red crystals and golden metal strips on the surface. It looks elegant yet heavy.

Unfortunately, there are obvious signs of breakage in the middle of the staff, and one can even see various hidden rune patterns in the cross-section.

"Red Lotus Cane?!"

Ronan recognized the cane and was startled.

Unexpectedly, hidden in the fireball that fell from the sky was the red lotus staff of the Ash Witch Molly!

Ronan had fought with Molly once and was deeply impressed by her cane-shaped staff weapon. Molly almost never left her side with the Red Lotus Cane, which was also a major symbol of Molly's identity.

"Even her beloved walking stick was broken. Molly's situation now cannot be any worse."

Molly's identity is extraordinary, and she even has a level 5 dawn wizard by her side. I didn't expect that she would be hunted down like this.

Ronan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and then his mind became slightly alert.

The Red Lotus Cane fell here, and Molly might be nearby. He was not afraid of Molly, but he was worried that she would attract pursuers and he would be unlucky enough to run into her.

"But why did the Red Lotus Cane choose me?"

Ronan thought about it and guessed that this half-broken red lotus cane might be a signal for help released by Molly, and it just happened to fall in front of him.

Breaking through the ice, Ronan took out the Red Lotus Cane.

This magical tool is made of extraordinary material and is of very high grade. No one knows how it was forged. Even though it is broken and damaged and unmanned, it has finally broken free from the suppression of ice and frost, and the firepower contained within is showing signs of bursting out again.

Ronan held it in his hand and could clearly feel a strong pulling force. It seemed that the Red Lotus Cane wanted to guide him in a certain direction.

"It was thrown out to ask for help."

His guess was confirmed, but Ronan had no intention of following.

Not to mention that he and Molly had a feud. In the Mechanical Heart, the other party almost "killed" him. Even if there was no hatred between them, the people who were chasing Molly were not someone he could deal with.

He himself is still on the road of hiding and fleeing.

"You can only blame your bad luck, the stick fell in front of me"

"No. If you don't know the inside story and you pick up this stick and foolishly run to save someone, you will be in big trouble."

Ronan originally planned to ignore it, but considering the feud between him and Molly, he thought about it and pressed down his cane to summon Yitai.

"The material of this staff seems to be mixed with some metal. I don't know if it can be absorbed by titanium."

Black titanium covered Ronan's right hand, quickly wrapping the entire Red Lotus Cane.

Ronan's eyes lit up slightly as he heard the dense and light chewing sounds.

"It can really become the food for Yiti..."

However, perhaps because the material of the Red Lotus Cane is too complex and precious, titanium absorbs the metal components in it very slowly.

While being slowly "eaten away", the Red Lotus Cane kept making bursts of "wailing" and vibrating violently, but Ronan held it firmly with one hand, making it impossible for it to break free and escape.

While swallowing titanium, Ronan also infiltrated his mental power into the Red Lotus Cane and recorded the runes engraved on the cane.

There are many runes that make up the Red Lotus Cane, which are very complex and advanced, showing its extraordinary quality. Ronan simply wrote them all down and kept them for later study.

Because of the red lotus staff that fell from the sky, Ronan no longer stayed where he was. He took advantage of the starlight to travel in the opposite direction of the staff.

Three days later, in the broad daylight, a figure stood in the wilderness, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, gray mist dissipated from around the figure, covering it completely, and the sunlight could not penetrate it. The whole person instantly revealed a gloomy and cold temperament.

"Shh-"

Ronan suddenly opened his eyes, picked up a strange square cowbell in his hand, and shook it gently. Strangely, no sound came out, but the gray fog surrounding him was completely sucked into the cowbell.

"call--"

Ronan let out a breath and quietly thought about what he had gained in the past few days.

He has thoroughly studied the strange cowbell he got from Ma Fulin. This cowbell is a rather advanced undead magic tool. There is a ghost space in it that is specifically used to raise ghosts.

Ronan did not find the complete inheritance of the "Skeleton Deathstroke" in it, but he found a powerful undead spell inheritance called - [Ghost Arrow]!
This spell is of a very high grade and only fourth-level wizards are qualified to practice it.

[Ghost Arrow] is similar to some of the undead spells Ronan had come across before, both of which require the cultivation of undead servants before they can be cast, but the principle of [Ghost Arrow] is very advanced, it transforms ghosts into something like "soul arrows" to directly attack and kill the opponent's soul. The discovery of this spell surprised Ronan.

The battle with the ancient wizard Evaqui made Ronan realize his extreme lack of soul defense and offensive means. This was definitely a fatal weakness of his. He won the battle against Evaqui by luck.

The appearance of [Ghost Arrow] has greatly made up for Ronan's shortcoming.

At least if he encounters a similar opponent in the future, he won’t have to just stand there and “passively take a beating.”

"No wonder Ma Fulin couldn't perform this spell. It turns out that he himself hasn't mastered it. It's estimated that no one has been able to learn the 'Skeleton Death Bell' for many generations. Otherwise, the reputation of the 'Skeleton Death Bell' in the south would be ten times more terrifying than it is now!"

Although it is not possible to practice at this stage, some preparatory work can be done first.

The most important point in practicing [Ghost Arrow] is that you need a ghost, and Ronan just happens to have a suitable one.

Gently shaking the cowbell in his hand, strange magical fluctuations emerged, and a cloud of thick, almost black gray smoke poured out of the cowbell. Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of Ronan.

He was a young man with short hair, pale face and bloodshot eyes.

He was wearing a tattered and almost rotten robe. In the sunlight, except for the gray smoke lingering around him, he looked almost like a normal person.

It’s just that his entire body is grayish white, like a carefully sketched character in a comic book, but lacking the final step of coloring.

An extremely strong sense of resentment emanated from the gray-haired young man. This resentment caused the temperature of the surrounding environment to drop rapidly, almost condensing into clusters of ice flowers.

This young ghost was none other than his fellow disciple who was killed by Ma Fulin and then raised in the Cowbell Space. He originally had a lot of resentment, and after being cultivated and refined by Ma Fulin's various secret methods, he had become an extremely powerful ghost slave.

Perhaps Ma Fulin also intended to cultivate it as the "arrow embryo" of the [Ghost Arrow].

Later, Magflin was defeated by Ronan, and was directly devoured by the ghosts of his own men when he was defeated.

Ronan had no idea how many ghosts were originally kept in the Niu Ling space. He only knew that there was only one ghost left in the entire space.

All the ghosts were devoured by the young ghost in front of them.

Now it can truly be regarded as a top-quality "arrow embryo"!
Any wizard who specializes in undead spirits would probably go crazy with envy if he saw it.

"return."

Ronan shook the cowbell, and the gray-haired young man's ghost in front of him turned into a ball of gray smoke and returned to the cowbell space.

Based on his knowledge of necromancy, he performed some simple "master recognition" operations on the gray-haired boy's ghost, but the main means of controlling it was still relying on the cowbell magic tool "Skeleton Deathstroke".

From the current perspective, it can be considered that it has been completely conquered.

But nothing in this world is foolproof, and Maflin is the best lesson.

“To practice necromancy, one must bear these risks.

If you want to avoid backlash, you have to strengthen yourself."

Ronan is very clear about this, and he also has his own confidence. His mental willpower is at least ten times stronger than that of Mafulin. In the short term, there is no need to worry about the backlash of ghosts.

In the process of "taming" this ghost, Ronan also obtained some information about the ghost of the gray-haired boy.

This young ghost is named Ahashiya. He was born into a noble family in the secular kingdom, which is similar to Ronan. However, he has a great talent as a wizard. After being discovered and accepted as a disciple by the previous generation of "Death Knell", everything went smoothly for him. He even has a great hope of inheriting the mantle of "Death Knell".

It's a pity that he was brutally killed by Ma Fulin after his master was murdered. No wonder he has such a strong resentment.

Ronan played with the cowbell in his hand, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a strange bone spur with an ancient shape.

This bone spur came from Andariel in "Ghost Mask" and was also one of the trophies he obtained in the battle for the Wizards.

Ronan has already studied it. This bone thorn is also a soul-attacking magic tool. He has experienced it personally and found it to be quite powerful, vicious and cruel, making it impossible to defend against.

The only drawback is probably that the magical light released by this bone spur cannot automatically lock onto the opponent and can only be manually controlled by the caster.

But think about the danger when facing this bone spur attack. There are probably only a few wizards who can avoid this bone spur attack within a certain distance within the Misty Stage.

After all, how many wizards could temper their bodies to such a perverted level like Ronan?
During these three days, Ronan was basically sorting out his harvest. In addition to these external gains, the second thing he gained was the improvement in his own strength.

Not to mention the significant increase in the proficiency of a number of trump card spells, the biggest improvement should be [Austerity Body Tempering], the master-level proficiency is almost approaching 1,400 points.

After the bloody battle with Heramus, Ronan was able to "glimpse" the "forbidden area" above the extraordinary domain. This also confirmed for him that there must be higher realms above the master level of proficiency.

After [Austerity Body Tempering] reached the master level, the derived [Immaculate Body] has always been Ronan's biggest and most important trump card.

He was really looking forward to seeing what the [Pure Body] would become after he had perfected his master-level proficiency in [Austerity Body Training].

There is also the [Ancient Power] rune that was born from the [Unsullied Body], which is expected to undergo even stronger changes.

At this time, in Ronan's consciousness space, the sixth spiritual power crystal has almost reached perfection. The "benefits" brought by the surge in soul power have not completely disappeared. It is estimated that Ronan's spiritual power will maintain this rapid growth state for a long time.

"Misty Forbidden Zone. The Tenth Spiritual Power Crystal"

This is what Ronan is thinking about now.

He saw greater possibilities in Selina beyond the limits of the Mist Stage, and if possible, he would naturally want to work hard in that direction.

After all, the fog is the stage of laying the foundation. No matter how strong your foundation is, it is not excessive. One day you will look back and be grateful for every effort you make now.

Selina did not reveal how to step into the foggy restricted area and condense the tenth spiritual power crystal. This may be a secret in the central wizarding world.

Ronan can only wait and see if he will have the chance to get access to this secret in the future.

In addition, during these three days, he also completed the last unfinished part of the soul seal [Sibirt's Golden Law] condensed in the fifth spiritual power crystal.

If nothing unexpected happens, the metal-based spell inheritance of [Lingmaya's Golden Fire] will be Ronan's main focus of practice in the future.

Ronan was just thinking about it, when suddenly, the titanium metal on the surface of his body under his robe began to move strangely.
