Chapter 196: On the Spot

"This person is absolutely not an ordinary seventh-tier Arcane Mage; what he relies on is not merely the power of mana."

Kali determined this.

The elves'extremely long lifespans cause them, while participating in world-shifting events, to pass down the most authentic documents and data.

Even though Arcane Mages are always a group skilled at creating their own spells, such a resurrection spell that almost violates the rules of operation could not exist in the hands of a seventh-tier mage.

"Are you talking about Aether and Psionics?"

Kali nodded: "I recall a spell that can turn all forms of resurrection into a 50% probability event; if judged as a failure, the opponent's soul will be consumed and destroyed by backlash. But I need to satisfy two conditions to complete it."

Rod nodded.

A 50% chance of resurrection failure, followed by soul destruction.

Not a big problem; even if one judgment fails, just kill him a few more times.

"Please speak."

"One, we must determine his soul vessel; this spell requires actual contact to succeed in casting, and obviously his current body cannot be it."

Listening to her speak.

Rod casually slashed out several heart-flame-infused 【Scream Slash Waves】, interrupting his ongoing casting action.

The Tree Spirit Vivian had recovered enough, but she did not use 【World Tree Descent】 again; instead, she continuously used various spiritual arts to interfere and attack.

Over there, Pan Ni, through sacrificing a batch of undead creatures, successfully summoned a three-meter-tall warrior in full armor.

Then she was pierced through by a single beam.

She let out a wail, her face grim as she drew a formation on the ground, and successfully triggered the 【Ghoul Rune Barrier】.

A spell that causes creatures within the barrier to continuously suffer paralysis effects.

She hadn't been seen using it before; she must have secretly practiced and learned it during this time.

Among Rod's enslaved subjects, aside from Selena and Eve, she was the most diligent.

Kali continued: "Two, I have never used this spell, and it is not within my class to use; it requires a massive amount of mana replenishment."

"So?"

"I know you have methods to increase mana and spirituality in others. Vivian, Miss Xiao Ke, the succubus, the ghoul, and the orc—I can all see their class accumulation exceeding the speed they should naturally have. I need you to help me."

Rod hurriedly raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

Covering his face: "Their methods might not be very applicable to you."

Hearing this, Kali frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

She knew Rod spent every night teaching and training with the girls, but as a proud elf who maintained restraint, even if she was curious, she would not allow herself to eavesdrop on their bed affairs.

Maybe occasionally.

But this elf, who silently endured every night, did not know the wonders of 【Elibert's Fun Love Secret Manual】.

Furthermore, besides 【Elibert's Fun Love Secret Manual】, Rod would also infuse the girls with 【Growth Spirituality】; naturally, anything powerful enough to activate native spiritual arts also carries a massive amount of spirituality.

At this moment, Tally emerged from the shadows on the ground, showing only half her head.

Mocking: "Because Master enhances us through teaching and training, you know~"

Kali was stunned for a moment; the next instant, her long ears turned pink.

"You..."

Rod: "Tally, what are you coming out for?"

"I'm here to tell you the first condition: what is this guy's soul vessel, you know~"

The succubus had now turned back into the form of a small Night Elf; when she smiled, she looked very cunning and cute.

It is said this is her combat form, making the casting of shadow spells smoother, although Rod felt this was just a psychological effect on her part.

"Speak."

But Tally ignored him, glancing sideways at him with a seductive hint.

"Promise you one condition, is that okay?"

"That's more like it! I want to throw a party!"

"What kind of party do you have to throw..."

Rod was stunned; he remembered Tally had a skill she hadn't used for a long time, one he had only seen when allocating points—【Blissful Party】.

Taking advantage of the elf standing aside, shy and dazed, the succubus leaned close to her master's ear:

"【Great Duke Bloodline】 helped me develop a new seventh-tier succubus path, which centers on 【Blissful Party】—during the party, for every mini-game played, a random permanent buff effect will be given to everyone present, you know~"

"Oh?!"

Rod's eyes lit up.

That strong?!

"Unfortunately, 【Blissful Party】 requires at least four people to start. I, you, and Vivian have never had the chance to use it, let's be clear! Even if more people gather, Master, you must guarantee your essence always finds its way into my mouth!"

"Of course! I like Tally the most; how could I ever let you go hungry!"

Actually, other succubi's 【Blissful Party】 always starts with the form of multiple men and one woman; only in Rod and Tally's case is it multiple women and one man. Who knows if the effect will change.

Rod: "Let's get to the point. What is his soul vessel?"

"It's blood! I hid in the shadows and saw it clearly. After his first death, the blood he shed seeped into the soil; every time he died and resurrected afterwards, that pool of blood was underneath."

Kali regained her composure.

She nodded: "Highly likely."

Rod: "But the problem is your mana isn't enough... how about we try?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Facing the elf's murderous gaze, Rod hurriedly explained with a smile: "Just kidding. Actually, you don't need that... you just need to drink my blood."

It was only because of becoming familiar with Kali over these days that he could make such a joke.

"But you should be aware, my blood has the same effect as 【Charm Body Fluid】."

"I don't need you to remind me."

Lady Kali took out a bottle of Ping Mo Fa potion from her spell pouch—the same kind she had given the land-bound Naga Eve to break her 【Charm Body Fluid】 dependency that day.

Rod was silent for a moment, then still asked, "Last time I wanted to ask—where did you get that special-effect potion?"

The elf's face was cold and terrifyingly foul: "Is that any of your business?"

Fine, then.

The main matter takes priority.

Fortunately, the zombie Selina over there had already shaken off the 【Withering Ray】 debuff and joined the fight against Amel.

Rod used his sword to cut open the skin on the inside of his wrist; blood immediately welled up from the wound.

"Go ahead."

Lady Kali looked a bit disgusted: "Can't you use a container?"

"No way around it—physical contact is required."

"."

No way around it.

Lady Kali could only, reluctantly and unwillingly, part her cherry lips and gently take the wound into her mouth.

Licking the blood drop by drop back into her mouth.

Rod's gaze was a little strange. Mmm—thinking about how the usually noble and restrained perfect elf was now using her soft, pink tongue to lick his wrist.

For some reason, it felt a little risqué.

【Growth Spirituality used successfully】

【Lady Kali acquired skill: Shou Bu Shi Fa】

【Details: Growth Spirituality activated a spiritual art Lady Kali had not yet mastered. This skill allows Shou Bu Shi Fa to be performed more rapidly, and enables casting different spells with each hand.】

【Remaining Growth Spirituality: 52】

Lady Kali suddenly began gasping for breath, her fragrant exhalations puffing against Rod's arm.

But she actively pulled herself free and immediately downed the potion.

One had to say, she truly lived up to her reputation as an elf famed for restraint—she didn't even glance at Rod once during the whole thing.

Not until the potion had completely dispersed the effects of 【Charm Body Fluid】 did she suddenly fling her eyes open.
