Chapter 443 Death Elf, Double Casting and Spell Enhancement!
Fang Zhou's current military rank is extremely rare, even within the entire Haicheng Military Academy.
In his current second year, he is the only promising student who is likely to be promoted to lieutenant.
After completing the promotion procedures, a flower fairy hurriedly flapped her wings and found the ark.
She said, "Lord Ark, Her Highness Queen Stella has instructed me to inform you to go to Moon Spring."
The ceremony has been successfully completed.
Fangzhou shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
Now that Princess Stella has been crowned queen, the original Queen Beyond must have already passed away.
However, this was her own personal choice, and Fangzhou could only sigh a little.
Following the flower fairy guide to the depths of Moon Spring, Ark gazed upon the elegant and graceful Princess Stella.
She was holding a black gemstone, almost the same size as her body, with bloodshot eyes.
This was the Soul-Binding Skull that Ark had given him before.
Fang Zhou stepped forward, saluted, and said solemnly, "Please accept my condolences, Your Majesty Queen Stella."
Queen Stella shook her head, gently waved her hand, and handed the Soul-Binding Skull, which was floating in the air, to Ark, saying, "Lord Ark, my mother has returned to Moon Spring."
This is a newborn elf that I transformed through a secret ritual of our tribe.
Now it is stored in your Soul-Binding Skull.
The final step requires your personal attention.
Drip your heart's blood onto this soul-binding skull.
This newborn spirit will be converted into your energy attribute, form a contract with you, and provide you with buffs.
Fangzhou nodded, having anticipated this.
Gently cutting his finger, Ark dripped a few drops of blood onto the Soul-Binding Skull.
Queen Stella hovered quietly to the side, chanting mysterious incantations.
A notification then appeared in the properties panel.
"Detected that a spirit possession contract is being signed, the contract object is a dead spirit."
The contract states that the Death Spirit will provide you with various death attribute buffs, and you will provide the Death Spirit with various resources needed for its growth.
This contract has no negative consequences. Shall we sign it?
With the attribute panel providing the assessment, Ark felt relieved and chose to accept it.
Then Ark felt his blood slowly merging with the unknown soul within the Soul-Binding Skull.
A faint, familiar aura gradually awakened from the Soul-Binding Skull.
Queen Stella, who was chanting incantations to the side, also opened her eyes wide with delight.
"Contract successful, pet section activated."
"Unnamed Death Elf (Black Iron): An extremely rare flower fairy variant that provides contractors with multiple death attribute buffs, two of which are currently active."
The first method is double casting.
Each time a contractor uses a death attribute skill below the Iron level, the Death Elf will simultaneously use the same death attribute skill, but the skill's power will be weakened to a certain extent.
The second type is powerful spells.
The Death Elf's mana fluctuations share the same origin as the Contractor's, and can increase the power of the Contractor's Death-attribute skills below the Iron rank to a certain extent.
Fangzhou quickly browsed the descriptions of the newly added spirit pet section in the attribute panel, feeling somewhat excited.
This Death Elf is Queen Beyond's final gift, its effects are powerful in a simple and unpretentious way.
Both double casting and spell power are the buffs that necromancers need most.
However, since it hasn't been tested in actual combat yet, we don't know exactly how much of a buff this Death Elf can provide.
Seeing that Ark had completed the contract, Queen Stella looked at Ark expectantly and said, "Lord Ark, you have successfully completed the contract."
Please summon this newborn spirit.
I want to feel my mother's presence.
Fangzhou nodded, gently stroking the Soul-Binding Skull in his hand.
Fangzhou was happy to grant such a simple wish.
Soon, a young elf, much smaller than Queen Stella, blinked its innocent eyes and quietly appeared before the Ark and Queen Stella.
This death elf's appearance is not much different from that of an ordinary flower elf, except that compared to the flower elf's colorful, petal-like wings full of natural charm, this death elf has a pair of small skeletal wings on its back.
Beneath her light gauze dress made of gray smoke, there were no tiny jade feet, the hallmark of a flower fairy, but rather shimmering blue light spots, characteristic of a soul.
At this moment, Queen Stella, who had been quietly observing from the side, couldn't help but shed tears.
This newborn death spirit was born from the aged soul of Queen Beyondis, but in essence, it has no relation to Queen Beyondis.
Queen Stella quietly took her hand and kissed it, then wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Meeting the little elf's bewildered gaze, she said, "Lord Ark, please give her a name."
Fangzhou raised his hand and gently lifted the hem of her soul skirt, saying, "Let's call her Vigus."
In the words of you flower fairies, she is a girl who has returned from the moon.
Queen Beyoncé would probably be pleased to know this.
Queen Stella nodded, gently embraced Vigus, and kissed her forehead.
After composing himself, Fangzhou placed the still-newborn Vigus on his shoulder and then left Moon Spring with Queen Stella.
Next, Queen Stella will use the secret magic of the flower fairies to impart some basic knowledge to the ignorant Vigus.
This would better promote her growth and development, and Fangzhou was naturally happy to see it happen.
In the following days, Ark returned to its sedentary state of recuperating in the Queen's tribe.
The difference this time was that he had a death elf named Vigus by his side who was incredibly attached to him, like a human child.
Fangzhou didn't go out to carry out various missions like the other students at Haicheng Military Academy for two reasons. First, he was eager to reap the rewards of his efforts in the Undead Tomb campaign. Second, he wanted to stay with Vigus and familiarize himself with their teamwork.
After all, Vigus is a living being with her own thoughts and will.
Although, thanks to the contract and attribute panel, she is absolutely loyal and trusting of the Ark.
However, if you want to achieve a synergistic effect in combat that is far greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=2), you still need consistent training.
Fortunately, Fangzhou and Vigus have been cooperating quite well over the past few days.
He had already sensed the power of Vigus's current dual casting and spell power buffs.
In addition, with the help of the Flower Fairy Queen's tribe and the Ancient Moon Source, Ark successfully refined the Bone-Corroding Blood Spring and the Breath of Decay into a Black Iron-grade potential potion with undead attributes.
After taking it, just like when Ark took Amber during his apprenticeship, Ark's necromancy quality, recovery speed, and affinity with death energy were greatly enhanced.
Compared to Sylvanas, another lower-tier Dark Iron necromancer, Ark is several times stronger in terms of the quality of death magic alone.
Stepping out of his tent, Fangzhou looked up at the bright, clear moonlight and stretched contentedly.
He looked at his attribute panel.

Ark's mental attribute is stuck at 49.99 points and cannot be increased for the time being. This is naturally due to the limitation of the energy concentration of the Natural Forest space fragments.
According to the instructors at Haicheng Military Academy, given Fangzhou's current state, as long as he leaves the Forest of Nature, there is a very high probability that he will break through the bottleneck and advance to the mid-level Black Iron rank.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
The main purpose of Ark's previous training in the Forest of Nature has been accomplished.
The returns from various resources far exceeded his previous expectations.
Now that I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, it's time to return to Haicheng Military Academy and begin to digest what I've gained in this period.
In addition, the black gem dragon egg, which has been sitting in the necromancer research laboratory, is waiting to hatch.
All of these things filled Fangzhou with anticipation.
Turning back to the tent, Fangzhou activated the portable meditation array and focused his mind on the skeletal clone.
During this period, the main body has reaped numerous rewards, and the clone is not far behind.
A blood moon hangs in the sky, amidst hills of corpses.
As the skeleton minions' hunted corpse essence continued to accelerate the evolution of their clones, the Ark began to get restless.
His physique grew twice more.
He can now easily defeat Olaf and the combined forces of more than a dozen mutated skeleton minions.
Such combat power rekindled Fangzhou's urge to challenge the Skeleton Lord!
After all, during this period of time, Ark had accumulated a large amount of soul power and skill materials, and had also spent a lot of money to deduce and strengthen all the common skills of combat professions mastered by the corpse clones into death attribute skills.
Especially the Heroic Charge, after evolving into the Death Charge, became even more powerful than the Ark could have imagined.
With its current four-dimensional attributes and the life-saving skill "Death Charge," Ark feels it is now qualified to challenge the Skeleton Lord.
Even if you can't beat them —
He wanted to leave, and even the Skeleton Lord couldn't stop him.
Therefore, the idea of raiding the Bone Castle was extremely appealing to Ark.
Putting aside the Skeleton Lord himself, the sheer amount of skeletal essence represented by the numerous mutated skeletons in the Bone Castle was enough to make Ark's heart flutter!
Do what you want to do.
After reviewing his attribute panel once more, Ark let the mutated skeleton servants hunt on their own, while he himself immediately set off towards the Bone Castle.
More than ten days have passed since we left the Bone Castle, and the five Bone Legions under the Skeleton Lord are still entrenched outside the castle.
For the dead, time has no meaning.
They also do not experience feelings of boredom or dullness.
As long as the Skeleton Lord does not issue an order to resume patrols, these five Skeleton Chapters can maintain this status quo, stationed outside the Skeleton Castle.
As for the Skeleton Lord, he is naturally on his throne in the castle hall!
Five skeletal warbands are stationed in five different directions around the skeletal castle.
Perhaps due to the threat posed by the Ark, or perhaps due to the blessing of the nearby Skeleton Lord, the number of these five Skeleton Legions was greater than when the Ark had previously encountered them.
There are five skeletal warbands, some with over ten thousand skeletons, and others with seven or eight thousand.
Moreover, in these skeleton warbands, in addition to the skeleton centurion who serves as the commander, each skeleton warband also has mutated skeletons such as skeleton snipers and skeleton assault soldiers!
All five Bone Legions are stationed outside Bone Castle.
Furthermore, the mutated skeletons that appeared in the Bone Legion—it's not hard to see that this was a trap set by the Skeleton Lord.
