Chapter 5: Corpse Refining
"Five female corpse fingers, three eyeballs from different corpses, plus a small piece of the practitioner's own palm skin."
Yes, this is the Undead Magic Corpse Refining, all the required casting materials.
Inside the cave, dozens of corpses, as well as his previous career as a forensic pathologist, easily allowed Luo Wei to gather materials for using "Corpse Transmutation" twice - if not for some finger bones and eyeballs that had already become impossible to distinguish from their original owners, Luo Wei could have increased the number of uses to at least five.
As for the issue of desecrating corpses... at least before solving his own survival crisis, Luo Wei didn't have time to consider it.
Although in the eyes of a forensic pathologist, a corpse should be just an organic and inorganic collection waiting to be dissected, rummaging through a cell filled with mutilated bodies, severed limbs, and shattered skulls for materials needed for a spell was still enough to make Rove feel nauseous.
Luo Wei, after all, was just a "new" forensic doctor who had only been in the business for three years and couldn't eat boxed lunches next to a corpse with its intestines spilling out like those veteran forensic doctors who could see right through everything.
Just after collecting the materials for the spell, Luo Wei couldn't bear the suppressed nausea and dizziness in his heart. He immediately found a relatively clean place to sit down, then began to assimilate the soul fire of that strong civilian zombie he had swallowed earlier at the fastest speed possible.
It's not difficult to assimilate the soul fire of the undead, but what's difficult is that Luo Wei must complete the assimilation of the soul fire and transform it into usable magic before the prisoner-eating ghost gets hungry again.
In order to achieve this, Luo Wei didn't even dare to fully absorb the soul fire of the sturdy civilian zombie, and instead stopped halfway after absorbing and transforming just enough death magic to release two Corpse Refining Spells.
To be honest, it feels terrible when the soul fire is forcibly terminated halfway through its assimilation.
The soul fire is the core that allows the spirits of the dead to exist, so even if a spirit has an intelligence as low as that of a fly, its soul fire will not remain completely unresponsive when it is being devoured by another spirit.
Rovi was very lucky, because the soul fire of the strong and sturdy civilian zombie that he had absorbed and assimilated probably only made a very weak resistance due to being away from the zombie shell for too long, and even this weakness was only relative.
Although it was extremely reluctant, for the sake of its own soul not being swallowed by the wailing cries of the undead flames filling the Lavi, it had to spit out the strong civilian zombie's soul fire that had already been assimilated halfway.
The next moment, the soul fire that Luo Wei spat out violently twisted and turned, flashed twice in the air, and then suddenly burst open silently!
This made Rove severely startled, and he hastily looked in the direction of the prisoner-eating ghoul with its back to the cave entrance - fortunately, the well-fed prisoner-eating ghoul continued to sit motionless, using its thick, crimson skin on its back to completely block the cave exit.
Suppressing the soul that had suffered a severe shock, Luo Wei quietly began to draw the magic array for corpse refinement.
Necromancy differs from other elemental magics in that most of its spells must be drawn with blood or bone powder, and the casting materials must all be placed at key positions on the drawn spell diagram.
For example, in the case of corpse refinement, the central position of its magic array must be placed with the palm skin of the caster, then it is the equilateral triangle placement of the deceased's eyeballs, and the outermost is the equilateral pentagon placement of the five female corpse finger bones.
To ensure the effect, Luo Wei gritted his teeth and tore off a large piece of palm skin from both hands, placing them in the center of two magic arrays that had been painstakingly drawn.
Just as Luo Wei had carefully placed the second piece of palm skin, the prisoner who had been motionless with his back against the iron pillar at the entrance of the cave suddenly moved his muscles on his back along with his shoulders.
Damn it!
This damned prisoner ghoul must be hungry again!
Rovin, who was constantly paying attention to the prisoner ghoul, discovered the movement of the prisoner ghoul's back and shoulders in the first time and made a judgment that the worst situation was about to happen.
Then, Luo Wei also couldn't care about anything else, and he started to chant the incantation for the Corpse Refining Magic in a low voice!
The incantation of the Corpse Refining was not long, so Luo Wei didn't have to chant for too long before he half-knelt down with one hand pointing at the prisoner Corpse Eating Ghost and the other hand spreading its five fingers to press onto the Corpse Refining magic array on the ground!
A pale white light burst forth from the darkness, and as if converged by a concave mirror, shot straight at the back of the prisoner, Gashadokuro!
The prisoner, who was completely unprepared for the sudden attack from behind, was shot out by a pale white light that was no more than the thickness of a bowl, and was directly knocked out several meters away, heavily hitting the wall of the mine.
Although the prisoner's corpse was thrown into a mess, Rovi's heart didn't have a single thread of joy, because this situation meant that Rovi had finally set up his first Corpse Puppet magic array with great difficulty, but it had completely failed!
Luoyi was absolutely certain of this, because he hadn't felt the connection of that wisp of soul fire in his heart after successfully cultivating to the Corpse Refining stage.
So, Luo Wei jumped up with the fastest speed he could reach and once again began to chant the Corpse Vanquishing Spell in a low, mournful voice!
The prisoner ghoul, who was suddenly attacked from behind and fell to the ground, also let out a strange howl. He flipped over and rolled up from the ground, then violently charged towards Rovell, who seemed to be the culprit!
It was as if the prisoner's ghost was so enraged that it didn't even use its powerful soul pressure to suppress Rovi, but instead tried to tear him apart with brute force!
Luo Wei didn't think he could finish reciting the incantation of the second Corpse Puppet in front of the enraged prisoner, with his weird and shrill voice.
But fortunately, it once again favored Luo Wei.
The enraged prisoner zombie charged in the wrong direction, missing the large hole it had pried open with brute force and instead slamming headfirst into a thick iron pillar beside it.
The prisoner, a ghoul who had been eating corpses, crazily tore at the iron pillars that were blocking his way to scratch the already nearby Lovi.
Among the iron pillars, another hole for free entry and exit was opened. For the powerful prisoner-eating ghost, it didn't take much time to waste, but the prisoner-eating ghost's brain was not much better than that of a fly, completely unaware that this little time... had already been enough for Luo Wei to finish reciting the second round of corpse-slave incantation!
"Hurray!"
In the midst of the eerie cries, Luo Wei half-knelt on the blood-soaked ground again, then with one hand pointing at the captive Corpse-eating Ghost and the other using all his might to slap down!
A pale white light, for the second time, flew out from under the magic circle that Lovi had pressed down on, only this time it attacked not the back of the Prisoner Eating Ghost, but its eyes.
"Woohoo! Woohooo!!!"
The prisoner who covered his own eyes with his hands let out a corpse howl that was completely devoid of meaning.
The dividing line of seeking, pushing and taking
