Zither Emperor Chapter 647 204 Powerful Undead Mage Mid_1

647: 204 Powerful Undead Mage (Mid)_1 647: 204 Powerful Undead Mage (Mid)_1 “A Zi rank Necromancer gains control over an additional true Zi rank spirit with each rank they rise, and their strength must increase by one rank as well.

That means if you are a Second Rank Zi rank Grand Sorcerer, then you must have at least two Zi rank spirits of equivalent or higher rank at your mand.

Simultaneously, the range of soul control, or the coverage of the Necromantic Curse, will also reach two thousand square meters, growing exponentially.”

“You might think that the area covered by the Necromantic Curse is considerably smaller pared to the Forbidden Curses of other magic attributes, but you must also understand that the casting speed of the Necromantic Curse is faster than any other magic, and the spirits pulled instantly can still be used again for other purposes.”

“Going by this logic, the area of the Third Rank Zi rank Curse is four thousand square meters, Fourth Rank is eight thousand square meters, Fifth Rank is sixteen thousand square meters, Sixth Rank is thirty-two thousand square meters, Seventh Rank is sixty-four thousand square meters, Eighth Rank is one hundred and twenty-eight thousand square meters, and by the Ninth Rank, the Curse area can reach an astonishing two hundred fifty-six thousand square meters.

This coverage can almost envelop an entire battlefield during a clash.

Just imagine the terrifying impact a Zi rank Grand Sorcerer could have on the battlefield.

Of course, this is without any interference.

If the enemy uses magic to counter, then the effect of the Necromantic Curse will be mitigated.

But as far as I know, among all the Forbidden Curses of equivalent rank, none can pare to the sheer domination of the Necromantic Curse.”

“Teacher, what about the White rank?

Wouldn’t a Sub-God rank Necromancer be capable of cataclysmic destruction?”

Phil Jackson smiled wryly, “If it were that simple, we wouldn’t have to fear The Demon Mother.

It’s not that easy.

Upon entering the Sub-God rank, a Necromancer’s strength increase actually diminishes somewhat.

The hallmark of entering the Sub-God rank is obtaining a Sub-God rank Undead, a feat that already deters most people.

Such a daunting challenge.

Advancement at the Sub-God rank is about continuously refining this single spirit, making it a part of oneself, and simultaneously solidifying one’s own spirit to a solid state.

Through such cultivation, at the advanced stages of Sub-God rank, a Soul Bead will form.

With the Soul Bead, one no longer has to fear the backlash that Necromancers dread the most, and at that point, they can practically change the clouds with a wave of their hand, or turn a city into hell on earth with a sweep of their arm, of course, if a Necromancer ever did this, they would bee the enemy of the entire Continent.

After all, the strong always face the stronger.

There is no such thing as invincibility in this world.

Light Mages, for example, are the natural nemesis of Necromancers.”

“I have briefly covered the situation of Necromancers.

From now on, I will formally impart to you the knowledge of Undead Magic.

Since your spiritual power has already reached the strength of a Seventh Rank Zi rank and you are guaranteed by the Unity of Heaven and Man, with an exceptionally solid Spiritual Imprint, you now only need to remember the incantations I teach you.

These past days, the best method I have thought of is to cast Undead Magic through your zither music.

This ensures the success rate of the magic, makes Undead more submissive, and also amplifies the reach of the Undead Magic.

Moreover, by harnessing the spiritual fluctuations of the undead, your Zither Magic’s power can also be magnified, killing two birds with one stone.

As for what form to use, or rather what zither music to cast Undead Magic with, that’s up to your own creativity.”

Learning is easy, creating is hard.

From that day on, Ye Yinzhu remained atop that mountain, cultivating Undead Magic with Phil Jackson.

Although the attributes differed and there were distinctions in all aspects of magic, it still fell within the realm of Magic.

Since Undead Magic was more aligned with the Spiritual Magic, the teachings converged to the same destination despite different paths.

Ye Yinzhu absorbed the lessons with astounding speed and, in this period, he had forgotten everything about the outside world, immersing his whole being into the cultivation of Undead Magic.

…

Construction in Qin City was progressing at a rapid pace, and during the time Ye Yinzhu was cultivating, the continent’s war situation also became increasingly deadlocked.

On the main battlefield, though the Landias and Popon Allied Forces had gained certain advantages, the ironclad defenses of the Milan Empire were not so easily breached.

As the Number One Empire of the Ryuzakinus Continent, Milan naturally had its own deep resources.

Its strong economic strength was continually converting the nation’s power into bat effectiveness, and waves of conscripted New Armies were continually joining the frontline under the leadership of Marshal Xi Duofu, keeping the defenses on Milan’s southern front extremely solid, at least there would be no issues in the short term.

At the same time, the main battlefield also saw the arrival of a powerful Mage, someone well known to the People of Bo Pang.

Initially, it was because of him that the small and weak Acadia Kingdom was able to defeat Popon’s hundred thousand-strong force, being a classic battle of the weak overing the strong.

He was Qin Shang, the former Sect Master of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, Zither Clan.

Even Marshall Xi Duofu did not know why Qin Shang would suddenly appear on the main battlefield on Milan’s side, only that he had hurried over from Milan City, the Capital of the Milan Empire, with an edict from Emperor Silvio in hand, taking over the position of the Milan Empire’s prime Mage Sorcerer Yue Hui on the frontline and being the leader of the Milan Empire’s Legion of Mages.

At the beginning, there were quite a few Mages who were unhappy, and even Yue Hui had some reservations in his heart.

But after one defensive battle, when Qin Shang repelled the formidable enemy with his decades of experience in Zither Magic, no one questioned his power anymore.

Even though Qin Shang was only a Third Rank Zi rank mage, the role he played on the battlefield was unparalleled by any other mage.

Especially when Sorcerer Yue Hui and Fergerson, through their Zither Magic and subsequent inquiries, learned that Qin Shang was indeed Ye Yinzhu’s first teacher, they became even more genuinely impressed and respectful.

After all, if he did not possess an incredibly powerful strength, how could he have mentored such an exceptional disciple as Ye Yinzhu?

With Qin Shang’s inclusion, the situation on the main battlefield had bee much more deadlocked.

Ten months had already passed since the war began, and the consumption and losses on both sides were significant.

The Milan Empire was struggling to hold on, but was it really fortable for Landias and Popon, being the aggressors?

Of course not.

The saying goes, to injure the enemy by a thousand, one must harm oneself by eight hundred.

Their situation was not optimistic either.

Especially since the supply trains to the Beastmen had been promised, burned to ashes by Ye Yinzhu and his men, the lack of food support greatly dissatisfied the Beastmen, weakening their assault intensity on the Milan Empire and the Ascoli Kingdom, undoubtedly providing the Milan Empire with a chance to catch its breath.

The war had reached a stage of attrition, and achieving a breakthrough was extremely difficult.

Therefore, both the Milan Empire and the Landias Empire, as the war entered its eleventh month, simultaneously chose to institute a temporary cease-fire and regroup their forces at the border.

The situation was more or less the same across all the battlegrounds; the tension eased, but of course, that was only on the surface.

During the period of refurbishment, both sides were inside busily making arrangements, aware that the next phase of the war would be even more brutal.

On the surface, the break for repairs seemed more beneficial for the Milan Empire, but Landias also needed to take some time to catch their breath, to reorganize and reallocate on all fronts.

At the same time, one of Landias’ important allies, the Flore Kingdom, needed to use this time to reconsolidate their armed forces to prepare for advancing on the Milan Empire Eastern Front.

In this situation, both sides entered a delicate balance.

All military operations quietly came to a halt, bringing temporary peace to the Ryuzakinus Continent and giving the civilians near the battlefields a chance to breathe.

Oliveira and Ye Hongyan had already brought eighty thousand of the New Army from Qin City to Sifuerte City, receiving the highest standard of wele from Marshal Ancelotti.

It was not just an eighty-thousand-strong alliance, but more importantly, these allied troops came from Qin City, governed by Ye Yinzhu.

After that initial battle, all soldiers of the Eastern Legion blindly idolized Ye Yinzhu and his Qin City warriors.

With the addition of these eighty thousand Qin City soldiers and the return of the Golden logistics troops who had pleted their resupply missions to the Eastern Legion, the Eastern Legion’s strength was unparalleled.

Including the logistics and resupply corps, the total fighting force exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand.

With Sifuerte City’s solid walls and repaired defensive installations, Marshal Ancelotti was fully confident that he could once again fend off the previous assault from the Flore Kingdom.

Although Oliveira brought with him a new army, this New Army from Qin City was not as simple as an ordinary new force.

After being trained by disciples of the Four Dynasties of Dong Long Martial Arts, all eighty thousand had acquired a solid foundation in martial skills and their Douqi cultivation was genuinely impressive.

Those with higher aptitude had already reached mid and high Red-ranked Fighting Spirit.

Even the least talented among them showed signs of entering the Red rank.

Furthermore, with Oliveira’s special training, this Qin City Army’s bat strength was quietly increasing day by day.

At the same time, Oliveira also brought Ye Hongyan and his Three Hundred Grim Reapers, along with a thousand Horned Hawk Knights.

With them present, Sifuerte City could pletely grasp the enemy’s movements and make the most accurate responses.

At this time, even Ye Yinzhu himself had not anticipated that these eighty thousand troops and six regiments would bee the stronghold of Qin City in the future, an invincible force.

…

Thick clouds drifted over the mountain peaks, but strangely enough, when they entered a certain area, they dispersed on their own, revealing a space as if it were the heart of the clouds.
