The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

Hearing the elemental priest's words tinged with surprise, Ansu was also somewhat puzzled.

Same as the other party.

Ansu didn't understand why the progress bar started moving even before the sacrifice was offered.

At the same time, the panel notification sounded again:

The bonus effect has been fully realized.

[Main Class - Elemental Priest]

[Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent]

[Bonus Effect 1: After contracting an Elemental Totem Spirit, you will automatically gain a random totem spell related to the Elemental Totem Spirit.]

[Bonus Effect 2: If you sacrifice an element related to an elemental totem spirit, the totem spell gathering efficiency is multiplied by 1.5]

"So it's the bonus effect from a secondary profession."

An Su thought to herself.

But he didn't tell the elemental priest next to him.

Instead, he told the other party that he had previously modified the Shadow Dragon through the means of a wizard, giving it some enhancements and mutations.

"The methods of a wizard?"

Upon hearing this, the elemental priest's doubts immediately vanished.

He knew that wizards possessed almost omnipotent abilities.

Even the higher beings of the elemental totems, the gods, were captured by the wizards and turned into experimental subjects and instruments.

It doesn't seem like a difficult task to simply transform an elemental spirit into an elemental totem spirit, which comes with a totem spell.

While Anzu was communicating with the Elemental Priest, the runes on the Shadow Dragon's horns continued to grow brighter.

But after another half minute, the changes did not stop.

"I guess the current Shadow Dragon is actually a fusion of two Shadow Dragons, which is why the totem spell's formation is slower?"

Ansu guessed.

Since the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] also has a bonus effect on certain types of sacrifices.

Later, when I have more time, I can make more Shadow Element Fruit Juice.

When the Shadow Dragon conjures a new totem spell, the efficiency is increased accordingly.

Then, he suddenly remembered something.

Then he looked again at the elemental priest who had turned to feed the other elemental totem spirits:

"Elemental Priest".

I heard from Ryan before that you sacrificed your name to the elemental totem spirit.

What's the principle behind this?

Was some ritual or totem magic used to give the elemental totem spirit the concept of your name?

Ansu was curious, but he did not intend to sacrifice his name to Shadow Dragon.

Instead, he plans to dissect the underlying principles in reverse and see if he can sacrifice someone else's name to his own Shadow Dragon.

"No, it's not some conceptual ability."

Wizards might be able to do it, but I definitely couldn't.

I actually sacrificed a part of my soul.

The elemental priest shook his head.

After feeding all the remaining berries to his elemental totem spirits, he continued speaking to Ansu:

"The soul is not merely a vessel for storing spiritual power and consciousness; each area has its own function."

Some areas are responsible for controlling bodily movements, while others are responsible for accessing memories and recognizing all things through those memories...

I sacrificed the parts of my soul's auditory and memory regions related to my name to the elemental spirits.

That's how they lost the ability to recognize their own name.

Even if I change my name, as long as I subconsciously regard it as my own name.

Under the influence of a missing soul.

When others address me by this name, I am unable to perceive the name.

It was because I sacrificed a part of my soul that my connection with several elemental spirits became deeper.

The efficiency of replenishing spiritual power and obtaining totem spells has also been slightly improved.

"It's just a pity..." As she spoke, a hint of sadness immediately crept into the elemental priest's voice.

Most of the elemental spirits that accepted the sacrifice died at the hands of the flesh golem.

If I were to sacrifice even more souls, it would inevitably affect the potential of my soul.

If I wish to preserve my soul's potential and thus advance further, I can no longer sacrifice my soul in this way.

Seeing that the ability to sacrifice a name wasn't a conceptual ability, Ansu's interest waned somewhat.

But after thinking about it, I realized that this thing could also be useful to me.

Although it cannot play a significant role in the fight against the Flesh Golem.

However, if one possesses this kind of knowledge...

When mixing alchemical pigments for the soul, or when constructing a painting-type spell scroll related to the soul.

It can also produce a stronger effect.

With that in mind, Ansu made a deal with the elemental priest.

Ultimately, in exchange for a piece of alchemical pigment created through the entry, the elemental priests acquired knowledge related to the soul.

The elemental priest agreed to the exchange.

However, unlike the inauguration process of the Elemental Priests, it was not written down on paper.

Rather, it exists in the mind of the elemental priest.

The elemental priest then immediately began to control the elemental totem spirits under his command.

Thus, they copied the corresponding knowledge along with it.

Before the copying was finished, the runes on the Shadow Dragon's horns flashed again.

Immediately afterwards, the numerous points of light quickly solidified and then transformed into two thumb-sized orbs of light.

As soon as the sphere of light took shape, it broke free from the dragon's horns.

It drifted leisurely towards Ansu.

The moment the two came into contact, the ball of light entered Ansu's body.

Then it merged with Ansu.

He also felt that he had gained two new abilities.

Is this totem magic?

Just as I suspected, they were two totem spells.

Shortly after the orb of light entered the body, a notification sound from the control panel rang out.

[Gain Totem Spell - Shadow Missile]

[Gain Totem Spell - Dragon's Might Extraction]

The spell slots are now unlocked.

The information about the spells you have acquired will appear in the 'Spells tab'.

Upon seeing this, Ansu opened the [Spells Panel].

This allowed us to examine the specific effects of the spell:

[Totem Spell - Shadow Missile]

[Effect: Can condense shadow elements and undead aura into a missile and launch it in a designated direction.]

The shape of the missile can also be adjusted, and shadow elements and undead aura can be used individually to condense a missile containing a single element.

"It can compensate for my combat abilities outside of Shadow Dragon and Alchemy Pigment."

Ansu made a judgment.

"With this totem spell,

Even Shadow Dragon has temporarily lost the ability to unleash fireballs.

I can also draw upon shadow elements and the aura of the undead to condense more missiles.

With the Shadow Dagger obtained from the Knight Commander, collecting Shadow Elements is not difficult.

Furthermore, the graveyard area of ​​the Soul Space constantly generates the aura of the dead, which can also serve as an energy reserve for condensing missiles.

The first totem spell was effective against me.

Ansu also checked the effects of the second spell:

[Totem Spell - Dragon's Might Extraction]

[Effect: Can extract the dragon's might from dragons or creatures with dragon blood and transform it into 'Primal Potion - Dragon's Might Potion']

After taking the potion, one can temporarily gain the ability to unleash the power of dragons.

The exact duration and power are not fixed and depend on the strength and type of the bloodline from which the 'Primal Potion - Dragon's Might' originates.
