Darius entered the clearing and frowned. He gazed at all the corpses nearby and shook his head, activating the interdiate Death elent spell he had created during his 5-year seclusion.
Death's Call!
[Death's Call - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Interdiate
Cost: 10 MP
Description: Call back the souls of the dead to their bodies, retaking their forms in perfect shape and becoming a part of a glorious new race. This spell can only be used on 5 corpses at a ti.]
With hundreds of corpses, Darius had to cast it almost 50 tis to revive all the fallen. The miraculous thing about this powerful Journeyman spell was that no matter the corpses' level of decay, they would be restored perfectly.
It was like ti was reversing itself, their flesh, skin, and even bones growing back until a whole corpse that looked like it had passed away peacefully lay there.
However, each corpse would shakily rise up and open their pitch black eyes to look around with confusion. After realizing they were alive once more, they would show different reactions ranging from shock, to fear, to joy.
Darius' spell was far more powerful than Mikey and Joneson's Raise Dead skill. That one would raise corpses using Death Energy as a foundation, with rely a 20% chance of the undead gaining sentience.
Furthermore, the corpses would rise in whatever condition they had died in and would have no real intelligence, only acting using the instincts the Death Energy imbued into them. It was like the core of their existence, which gave them 'life' and 'awareness'.
However, Darius' spell called back their souls from wherever they had gone to, after restoring their bodies into perfect shape. This was just one step below resurrection in its truest sense, just a little bit off from copying the Lunar Dew's abilities.
However, that gap was like an endless canyon.
While Darius had brought back their souls, brought back these undeads' full sentience and awareness, as well as restored their deceased bodies to physical perfection, it didn't change the fact that their hearts had stopped beating and their blood would no longer flow.
They were still unable to breathe, reproduce, feel pain or pleasure. Their bodies were like any other undead, maintained by Death Energy, only that for Darius' creation, they didn't have it focused into a core, but had it freely flowing around their system.
This was to mimic the effects of blood, and also had the interesting effect of greatly weakening damage caused by the Light and Healing elent.
Unlike a typical undead that would be utterly destroyed when hit with his Heal spell, these fellows would only die and have their souls return to wherever it ca from.
One could say that they were not bound to this earth permanently. As soone who had died and had his soul taken away from eternal rest to participate in a ga, Darius could understand the frustration that ca with it the most.
Ge had designed this spell - that was right, Darius had created this spell over these last 5 years - with three things in mind.
Firstly, reduced Light and Heal elent damage. Secondly, protect summoned souls so that they could return from whence they ca upon destruction, so sort of a temporary revival. Thirdly, establish a circulation of Death Energy in the body to increase their strengths and grant them unique effects.
It was clearly quite the huge success from what one could see.
Gunner rubbed his chin with interest, noticing that these undead were of a higher quality than those they had fought against years ago. As for Xela, with her passive Divine Sight, she could see a lot more.
When she saw the structure of the spell and its effects, she nodded with a wry smile. Even though she was extrely opposed to necromancy and undead as a Divine Maiden, the elven princess had to admit her master's thods were the most humane of them all.
What left Xela utterly speechless was the fact that the Divine Light and Divine Life behind her were utterly silent, and in her spiritual eye, it felt like the two holy Goddesses were gazing at the sky purposefully, making Xela's lips twitch.
What was so interesting in looking at what was essentially nothingness?!
After all, these Divine Elents that were unique to the Elven race had ford consciousnesses, but not bodies, and were still concepts.
However, that was how the world worked. Even the most righteous and pious judge would compromise if the sum of money you passed him under the table was large enough.
With the 'money' the Supre System was 'paying' these two Divine Concepts, they would even swallow Darius being Thanatos' son, much less a re this.
Darius then took out a small device from his Inventory and placed it on the ground. It was a glowing white cube that had a blue line crisscrossing within it. Xela and Gunner easily identified it as Gravitas tech as usual, but what it did specifically though, they didn't know.
"Step back everyone, give so space." Darius advised as he moved back a few ters. The raised undead also retreated imdiately while Gunner and Xela shared a look before complying.
All parties gazed with curiosity as to what exactly would happen next when Darius brought his HoloBrace up to his face and spoke. "Miranda, activate the Portable Housing."
The bubbly AI appeared from the advanced tech and nodded with excitent. "Sure!"
Imdiately, the cube began to shake for a bit, strange whirring sounds erging that sounded similar to a printer starting up. The next mont, all here except Darius were left tongue-tied and with bulging eyes as they watched that tiny cube transform into a house.
To them, it looked like nothing short of a miracle, but to Darius, it mostly looked similar to how those cars from the Transforr movies would systematically beco giant robots.
Darius turned to the undead. "Guard outside until we leave."
Then he turned to the silent Gunner and Xela with a smile of amusent.
"Co in, we have so work to do."
