CHAPTER 1824: CHAPTER 874: PROFANE VIGOR_2

The battlefield is easy to find, but the essence fragments of a Death Stalker are hard to obtain.

Either you obtain them by killing a Death Stalker that has already entered the Material Plane, or you delve deep into the Bottomless Abyss to forcibly strip them from the Death Stalkers or sign a Demon Contract.

By destroying and purifying this Death Stalker, you mean that the Ser Red Robe Mages have lost the opportunity to summon a powerful demon. It has completely died and can no longer be summoned."

The summoning rule mentioned by this Undead Priest is considered a general rule.

Whether summoning a Monster, a Natural Ally, an Otherworld Ally, or a Demon Devil, spells below the Nine Rings typically summon more conventional creatures, the most powerful of which are barely at the Legendary level, like the Six-armed Snake Demon.

She has already reached the ceiling of a Nine-Ring Summoning Spell.

If you want to summon a stronger being, you need a more unique method.

These methods come in various forms, but one thing in common is establishing a connection with this powerful being in advance.

When the time comes, the one your Summoning Spell calls forth will only be this being, not a random creature of the same name.

A Death Stalker with at least thirty Life Dice is outside the normal summoning range.

"You are thinking too narrowly; this ability is not unique to the Death Stalker. I speculate that many demons originating from the Plains of Bone possess similar abilities, and we can start with those more conventional demons, most of which have a chance to awaken similar abilities.

After all, it’s just basic manipulation ability. The difficulty in obtaining it shouldn’t be as high as imagined. However, for later enhancement, we may have to hunt powerful beings like the Death Stalker." Gaven has a personal conjecture about this.

"The Lord’s speculation is not without reason." Daphne thought to herself. "However, I’m not thinking of demons, but devils, Aesir Devils, also known as Bone Devils. I wonder if they can be purified."

"The ability is not appropriate." Gaven shook his head. "They are called Bone Devils because they resemble skeletal remains, not because they have the ability to manipulate bones. Compared to them, an old acquaintance might be more likely to have this ability.

The Bone Claws of the Far Sea Marshes, their ability to extend bone claws, is very similar to manipulating bones. Those Ghost Witches, when creating such undead servants, likely relied on the power of the Bottomless Abyss, possibly the Plains of Bone."

Gaven’s speculation is undeniably bold, but very plausible.

Because those Ghost Witches have a close relationship with demons and devils, Night Hags are especially known as soul merchants, often bringing the souls they reap from the Material Plane to the Bottomless Abyss or The Nine Hells for trade.

Many have even transformed into devils themselves. Whether it’s Abyssal or Hellish power, they are likely to borrow. The true secret of the Bone Claws they produce as exclusive merchandise is likely related to Abyssal or Hellish power.

"If it’s Bone Claw, that’s easy to handle. Our manor has eight of them. Let’s purify one and see." Daphne eagerly suggested.

The Bone Claws at Weizemay Manor were naturally captured from the Ghost Witches of the Far Sea Marshes during the battle at the Goblin Margins.

In the hands of the Ghost Witches from the Far Sea Marshes, they are a trump card force.

But in Weizemay Manor, they are not; at most, they are mid-level enforcers. Don’t even mention the Nightshadows; many True Wraiths’ strength surpasses theirs.

Now with the Berserk Wind, their ranking is even lower, directly relegated to mid-low tier, and won’t be easily deployed except in special occasions.

"This can be tried." Without further ado, Gaven summoned a Bone Claw from Weizemay Manor, and radiant light enveloped it.

"Ah... Master, have mercy..." The bewildered Bone Claw shrieked pitifully, begging for mercy.

They are a form of Sage Undead, and their intelligence is not low.

Even as undead creatures, they have a survival instinct.

"Silence!" Gaven commanded with absolute control, limiting its ability to speak.

Though it possesses high intelligence, he never treated them as true lieges.

Setting aside the sins they carry, without Weizemay Manor’s constraints, wherever they go, they bring death and slaughter.

Weizemay Manor acts as a special prison, used to imprison various war prisoners, especially souls harvested by war ravagers which need to be split with Lady Strategy, making this function more evident.

Souls sent to Lady Strategy are as benign or relatively innocent as possible.

The sinful souls, however, remain with Gaven for labor reformation, serving in another way.

In similar circumstances, Daphne did not share a "hare dies, fox grieves" sentiment. On the contrary, she watched the Bone Claw dissolving into radiant light with eyes wide open, as if watching a supreme delicacy.

Every undead involuntarily took a step back, watching the burning radiant light with reverence filled eyes.

In particular, the Lizard Queen, who was scavenging for skeletal remains worldwide, paused, her previously indifferent demeanor suddenly restrained.

Her brazenness was based on the premise that Gaven could not cause her more significant harm.
