Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Hughes then examined Mr. Poison's two demonized organs.

Based on the demonized organs, he determined that the other party was roughly at the level of an Empty Pool Wizard.

Then there's the opponent's spellcasting ability.

A corpse lacking sufficient intelligence is naturally unable to delineate the magical runes it possessed before birth.

Those who have reached the required level of wisdom, that is, those who still retain a part of their remnant soul, can release some of the witchcraft they knew in their previous life.

As for this Mr. Poison Demon, he belongs to the type of corpse that has retained a large part of its remnant soul, meaning it is a relatively intelligent type of corpse.

This is because when Hughes first took control of it, he allowed it to unleash some of the witchcraft he knew.

It turned out that the other party was not only skilled in using the [Invisibility] spell, but also possessed first-level witchcraft from multiple poison curse schools.

Hughes deduced that this Poison Demon must have been an excellent illusionist wizard in his lifetime, otherwise he wouldn't have been so skilled in invisibility.

However, the remnant soul only retained some memories of witchcraft from the Poison Curse faction, which caused this situation.

Unfortunately, just like its attire suggests, this Poison Demon's fighting style is that of an "assassin."

Aside from invisibility spells, most of the other poison curses are also movement and concealment spells, with very few means of direct attack.

Then, Hughes began to explore Mr. Poison Demon's consciousness world.

Some necromancers will solidify magical runes on their modified corpses, enabling them to cast more spells.

This is also one way that low-intelligence wizard corpses can perform witchcraft.

Of course, the amount of magic that can be solidified in the world of consciousness is very limited, let alone the half-dead world of consciousness of a corpse.

Under normal circumstances, an apprentice's consciousness space can only solidify one spell.

Upon advancing to the rank of a formal wizard, the consciousness space expands into a consciousness world, but the fixed upper limit does not increase much, and may even increase to three or four spells.

This is mainly because solidifying a spell is equivalent to combining a set of spell runes and solidifying them in the world of consciousness.

The combined magical runes continuously release a magical field, because only in this way can all the runes be kept active at all times, making it convenient for the wizard to trigger them at any time.

However, this force field not only severely encroaches on the world of consciousness, but also places a certain burden on the soul connected to the world of consciousness.

Therefore, not many wizards choose to solidify their spells; instead, they practice constantly, relying on their proficiency in drawing spell runes to achieve instantaneous spellcasting.

Even Hughes is the same; in his current world of consciousness, only the Boundary Anchoring spell has been solidified, which is the circle composed of 20 silver runes.

Within the consciousness of this Poison Demon, Hughes discovered two magical runes.

These are the [Poisonous Miasma Ring] and the [Highly Poisonous Bomb].

To his surprise, both of these were spells for direct combat. The former could form a ring of condensed poison gas, while the latter could launch explosive bombs made of condensed venom.

This did significantly enhance Mr. Poison's ability in direct combat, but Hughes still considered him an assassin.

After all, wizards of the Poison Curse faction are not good at direct combat, so their pure, direct offensive magic is not particularly outstanding.

Finally, it is necessary to check whether the other party has received a transplanted demonized organ.

The corrupted organs are arguably the part of the necromancer's work where they modify corpses.

This also reveals the modifiers' positioning of the corpse and the advantages they bestowed upon it.

Hughes performed a simple dissection of Mr. Poison Demon and eventually discovered two demonized organs.

The first site was in its abdomen, where the organs, fat, and flesh had been almost completely removed, replaced by a huge green venom sac.

"No wonder he's called Mr. Poison Demon..."

Hughes muttered to himself.

He examined it and discovered that it was the poison sac of the Monbes troll.

The Monbes Troll is a rare subspecies of troll that can use poison. Its venom has no special characteristics, except that it is extremely potent and takes effect quickly.

Their venom sacs also grow on their abdomens, but the one on Mr. Poison Demon's abdomen is obviously a small venom sac that has been cut off.

Another place was his hands. Hughes discovered that Mr. Poison's entire hand bones were a ghostly green, as if they had been soaked and permeated by venom.

But this is clearly not a human hand bone. Hughes speculated that the Druni family must have transplanted some kind of humanoid magical beast hand bone into it.

Furthermore, each of its finger bones has been specially treated so that sharp bone spurs can be ejected from the fingertips to launch a stabbing attack with potent poison.

"Whoosh—!"

Standing by the lab bench, Hughes stared at the tiny bone spurs that had sprung from the other person's fingertips in an instant, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

If the toxicity is strong enough, these bone spurs could indeed become a surprise attack method...

"..."

At this point, Hughes had completely analyzed Mr. Poison Demon and roughly figured out his role in the battle—an assassin hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

After stitching up the incision he had made on the other person, he handed over the two daggers, [Venom Fang] and [Black Fang].

After becoming a full wizard, Hughes rarely used fangs or those modified venoms.

(Chapters 47-50: The fangs belonged to the third-class apprentice frost elf, and the venom was bought from a frost elf potion master.)

After all, almost all formal wizards release their spiritual energy at all times, constantly sensing everything around them, making it difficult to launch a sneak attack.

Even if the sneak attack succeeds, the venomous fangs may not be able to penetrate those meticulously crafted magical artifacts.

Therefore, the sneak attack had to be carried out by a professional magic spell wizard. Hughes believed that these two daggers would definitely be very effective in Mr. Poison Demon's hands.

As for the witchcraft tools, he equipped the other party with a set of jet-black light armor, a jet-black short robe, and the other party's original jet-black mask.

They all possess both stealth and defensive capabilities, maximizing their effectiveness as assassins.

After thinking it over, Hughes decided to temporarily place Mr. Poison Demon in his own undead space so that he could summon him at any time.

At the same time, the reward that Hector had prepared for Katga—an identity certificate that would allow him to live in the heart of the continent—made him somewhat hesitant.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should hand this item over to Mr. Poison Demon so that he could obtain the status of a resident in the center of the continent, which would make things easier for him in the future.

However, after weighing the options for a moment, he decided to keep it for the time being, since this certificate was very valuable and could be used for negotiations at crucial moments.

Most importantly, there's nothing I currently need Mr. Poison Demon to do for me as a "resident".
