Chapter 43: Physical Hypnosis!

"No..."

Tanilu struggled desperately.

But the word "no" was trapped in the air bubbles of his lungs by a large hand, not even getting a chance to struggle in his throat.

Even betrayal has its grades.

Low-grade betrayal: simply run away, disappear into the crowd, the Dark Sun Church wouldn't even bother to investigate.

High-grade betrayal: kill their cultivated A‑grade genius, blow up the altar to ruin the invasion plan, and even give up the top‑level powerhouse the Dark Sun Church had laid out for a long time.

The Dark Sun Church would definitely post a bounty of tens of thousands of magic gold on the black market and hunt him down madly.

Even if dead, they'd dig up the bones, grind them to ashes, and scatter them.

It would be better to spend the rest of one's life as a sheep.

At least, one could still eat grass.

Rather than have grass grow on one's grave.

"You'd better prepare now to spend the rest of your life on the run!"

"Cherish this time while you can!"

"When you look back on the past, this might be your last beautiful moment."

"Answer me, when will that old wizard leave!"

Tanilu's consciousness gradually drifted away.

Vaguely, a voice seemed to sound in his mind.

He instinctively responded.

"Uh‑oh… he's using spirit touch on my thoughts!"

"Damn it!"

Angry Tanilu was about to counterattack.

"Thud!"

A sand‑pot‑sized fist hammered down on his crown, and Tanilu fainted on the spot.

Afterward, Ta Ke shook his fist.

"Just the right force!"

"Using force to deliver a precise power strike to his brain."

"Just enough to make the enemy fall into a perfect fainted sleep."

Ta Ke was very satisfied with that punch.

And this punch also showed that Ta Ke, building on his precision talent, had mastered the "hypnosis" ability.

Physical hypnosis is still hypnosis.

He looked at Ta Ke, then at the already unconscious Tanilu.

Amanti felt she had gained a lot more knowledge and insight.

"Don't be bound by the magic itself—do what's handy and subdues the enemy!"

This time, capture Tanilu.

Under the threat of great strength.

This guy ended up leaking quite a bit of information.

The true purpose of the Dark Sun Church.

Whether an A‑grade genius has any safety loopholes.

These two points are what Ta Ke is seeking.

As for the first, Ta Ke guessed some possibilities, verified more of the purpose, and confirmed the general timing.

As for the second, Ta Ke also got the answer.

That A‑grade super‑talent is Ta Ke's core objective.

After Ta Ke organized the information.

He cleaned out the Dark Night Priest Tanilu's supernatural bracelet, mage‑ring staff, and all the other items he carried.

"Looks like three or four hundred magic gold."

"Sure enough, the super‑beings of High Tower are wealthier."

"Unlike the super‑beings of the Earth Nest Area, you can't squeeze a drop of oil from them."

"And moreover…"

Ta Ke's gaze fell on the Dark Night Priest Tanilu.

"The true value is this Dark Night Priest."

"Sheep Transformation!"

The shadow bracelet activated with Ta Ke's incantation.

Even though Tanilu was asleep, Ta Ke still turned him into a sheep.

However, as a Dark Night Priest, his supernatural trait's resistance was very strong.

Even the white wool Ta Ke had planned was turned black by the Dark Night Priest's supernatural trait.

"Black is black, then!"

Ta Ke, however, had no obsessive‑compulsive tendencies.

"How are those two guys doing?"

Ta Ke looked at Amanti.

"Those two knights underwent mutation and alteration deep in the Nether Realm; the Dark Sun Dusk Knights' power is formidable, polluting and slaying many skeleton warriors."

However, that power didn't last long, and in the end it was overwhelmed by the undead creatures.

Although I lost some undead creatures, those undead creatures could recover on their own after a while.

Using the supernatural traits of those two supernatural knights.

I have already constructed two powerful second-tier undead knights.

Before, I had never alone captured a second-tier supernatural being.

You want to take a look?

Amanti was also smiling brightly at this time.

Whether it was the two knights' own supernatural ranks, or the equipment on the supernatural knights themselves, as well as the supernatural bracelets of the two knights, and so on.

For Amanti, these were quite good gains.

Perhaps she doesn't lack such resources much, but the gain from this loot is more meaningful.

Hehe... no need.

Take waved his hand to refuse.

The freshly spawned undead creature likely still retained its hatred toward me.

If we really fought, tearing apart Amanti's skeleton in front of him would not be good.

Under the pull of shadow power, Black Goat Taniru was swept into the shadow behind Take by the shadow power.

Let's go!

Take looked left and right and said in a low voice.

Just now, when coming down from the third floor, Take also took a look around the third and second floors, but there was nothing of value.

The Undead Realm faded away silently.

Under the moonlight, the standalone bunker cottage remained as usual, peaceful and natural, as if nothing had happened.

For the bunker area, this was just an ordinary ashen night.

Your method of summoning small undead creatures is impressive; can you teach me?

On the way, Take looked at the cheerful Amanti and made his small request.

"The teacher said you have no talent for the undead." Amanti glanced over.

Are you sure you want to learn?

Mm!

Take nodded.

【Summoning】

It is a highly versatile wizard technique with a wide range of adaptive abilities.

And undead wizards are the experts in this area.

Take might not need to summon undead.

Summoning normal creatures or shadow creatures is also possible.

But, 【Summoning】 requires the foundation of summoning ability as its base.

Learn some basic summoning abilities from Amanti.

Summoning some regular creatures, combined with Take's talent ability for assistance, would also work quite well.

As a wizard, one doesn't need to master everything, but should grasp.

But Take needs to understand the basic principles of all abilities in the wizard framework, the major directions of technique and witchcraft.

And 【Summoning】 is a very important major direction.

I'm not learning for nothing either; I also have some decent abilities, and if you like me, I can teach you too.

Perhaps you could also condense a new sequence seed and become your own witchcraft.

Really? Amanti's eyes lit up.

Of course. Take nodded.

I want to learn your 【Spirit Touch Perception】; with this ability, I wouldn't need to hold thick books all day.

It seemed she had long had this idea, and Amanti spoke especially fluently.

At that time, I would directly use books as pillows; when I sleep at night and dream-undead shout to wake me, knowledge could continuously flow into my brain.

Take chuckled.

Spirit Touch Perception can indeed do that.

However, you need to work hard; Spirit Touch Perception is my automatically awakened wizard ability.

Just the basic study would take a lot of time.

Amanti clenched her small fist.

I will work hard!

Under the cold moonlight, shadow and death drifted past the window, as if there were talking and laughing.

Crossroads.

A stern-faced youth glanced at the two patches of shadow and death, then paid no further attention.

Having seen this many times before, after all, this is the depths of the Ashen Land in Lamor High Tower City-state.

The youth was looking deep into the street.

He urgently wanted to know where his brother was.

But he dared not go over.

After all, he wasn't sure if that old wizard had noticed him.

If they met a second time, that old wizard would definitely not give him a third chance.

On the other side of the street.

Wearing a nightgown, a somewhat lazy girl pulled the curtains.

Blocking the moonlight, making the interior darker, effectively helping her sleep.

"Another boring day!"

"Xiluo'er said there are good things in the Demon King's Treasure, I don't know if it's true."

"Everyone in Lamorel knows there's a Demon King's Treasure there, but she won't tell me the details, it's infuriating."

"Hmm... Xiluo'er's letter also said she met an interesting guy, and said he's about my age."

"I burned her letter paper; obviously the divination showed Xiluo'er cares about that interesting guy, yet she insists we're the same age, saying one thing but meaning another......"

The girl hugged her pillow and fell into a sweet sleep.

Outside the window, death and shadows drifted by.
