Chapter 358: Loot (1/2)
”Why do I somehow feel empty?”
This question was hard to answer, especially with his goals that would involve numerous people's lives. He looked down with a grim expression.
Despite having steeling his resolve, it was so much different when he needed to face it. And this was only a monster or a former human.
He thought he would be fine with it, considering he had killed a few people before and all of them were his enemies. Both wanted to kill him, but the lich simply followed its natural instinct as a monster.
It reminded him of a certain matter.
There might be a time where he needed to kill the innocent who he never met. At that time, could he do it? What if the person before him was a good guy that had helped thousands of people? Could he still kill him?
Many questions flashed in his mind, but more importantly, there was a slight change in his heart. Whether this change would be good or bad for Theo, he knew he still needed to step forward.
After sorting his thoughts, Theo's expression became calmer as he looked at the lich and placed his hand on the lich's head.
The silence suddenly broke when Theo saw the cards coming out of the lich.
Skill: Three Great Defense (C)
Effect: Gather the Magic Power in the surroundings to form three small tombstones that will act as an antenna to form a shield of concentrated Magic Power. The shield can be moved and expanded, but the user can't move as long as this skill is active.
Skill: Zombie Fire (C)
Effect: Produce a special fire that can turn normal humans into undead. It can only be used to create Champion Rank Monsters or below and the level depends on the target's former level.
Lich Jewel (C)
A small crystal that became the lich's source of power. It contained all the Dark Energy the lich had.
”Three C Rank cards?” Theo widened his eyes, never expecting to get such a bountiful reward. ”Two C Rank cards from a Hero Rank monster is already too much and can be said you are very lucky when you encounter such an occurrence, but this zombie gives me three? Two skill and one material cards.
”Is this the effect of a lich who trained himself just to kill the fish?” Theo furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the cards, finally examining each of them. ”Hmm, I have a feeling that Lich Jewel can be sold at a high price, considering this can be transformed to be a perfect staff for a Magician with Dark Affinity.
”I mean, they really need this one as their staff's eye and I'm sure this crystal can boost their power and casting speed.” Theo nodded and took a look at the skills. ”First skill is Zombie Fire… Normally, Necromancer only calls the soul of the dead, but this one can turn a human into a zombie.
”And there is no warning that they need to be dead. In other words, they can be turned into a zombie by burning them alive… Such a devious skill, I am afraid this skill will shake the market. For now, I shouldn't sell it since it will be too dangerous if this skill comes to the hand of a psychopath. I can use it as a material to upgrade my skill anyway.
”Also, my goal is to create chaos or chaotic situation, not genocide. I can use genocide to create chaos, but chaos doesn't necessarily come from genocide.” Theo shook his head. ”Even God of Mischief never took a life when he pranked someone other than the last moment…
”Well, let's move on to the second skill. This Three Great Defense seems to be useful. I have seen its power and I think it's far more powerful than Elemental Shields. It's true that I can't move while using that skill, but I have my clone. I may become an immobile fortress that keeps sending Magic Bullets one after another.”
After getting a bit understanding of this skill, Theo suddenly grabbed it with a serious expression. He closed his eyes and the card suddenly disappeared from his hand as if it was burned into ashes.
There was a change in Theo's skill.
