Chapter 146 Enchantment
With Vulgrim’s explanation, Roy finally understood what he meant.
According to Vulgrim’s description, this so-called Well of Souls was a place that Heaven used to purify and condense souls. It mixed a large number of ordinary souls into the well water so that it could artificially produce noble souls. After all, it was too little and too slow to obtain noble souls from humans alone.
From this point of view, the transmute function of the Horadric Cube Roy created was not coincidental. High-quality high-class souls could indeed be synthesized, but the Horadric Cube was simply a divine artifact to Heaven in terms of efficiency! It completely skipped the long separation and fusion process and could directly produce the final product.
Because the Well of Souls had such an effect, the function of the well water was very clear. In the process of continuously promoting, demons consumed a massive number of souls to obtain magic power, so their souls would gradually be affected over time. This effect would be most obvious when promoting to high-rank demon. It would cause the souls of high-rank demons to become the ‘evil souls’ corresponding to the holy souls!
Take note, it was ‘evil’ and not ‘fallen’. This type of soul was a level higher than a fallen soul, and this process was the sublimation of the soul!
If he used the well water of the Well of Souls during his promotion to high-rank demon, it would make his soul more solid and tenacious during the sublimation!
The benefits were obvious. The stronger the soul, the more difficult it was for demons to be injured by spiritual magic. Even if a powerful enemy killed and expelled them, they would suffer less damage to their souls after returning through a Gate of the Abyss.
Moreover, souls and bodies were complementary. The strength of the body would make the soul stronger, and the same was true vice-versa—the stronger the soul, the stronger the body. At this moment, Roy’s body was undergoing unknown changes due to the radiation. If he took the well water from the Well of Souls at this time, his body would mutate in a better direction.
After hearing about the usefulness of the well water, Roy was very moved and bargained with Vulgrim. After he promised to help Roy strengthen Frostmourne in addition to the well water, the two demons successfully reached a deal.
Of course, Roy was not a fool and would not easily believe another demon, so when he received the canteen of the well water, he specially placed it in the system space to check its attributes. Roy felt completely relieved when he found that what Vulgrim said was true, and the attributes displayed by the system indeed had the ‘Strengthens the Soul’ term.
Although Roy could also create items that could affect souls through the system, since the effect was the same, Roy did not need to waste souls to create them.
After checking the well water, Roy took out Frostmourne and handed it to Warglin.
Holding Frostmourne, Vulgrim was slightly infatuated as he looked at it with pleasure. It had to be said that Frostmourne’s appearance was indeed a masterpiece! Anyone who saw this sword would be involuntarily attracted to it.
Although Vulgrim could not see the attributes of the sword, he could feel the power on it. Although he was not good at fighting, he was a bona fide master of enchantment and alchemy, so the first thing he said was, “This is a sword of cursing full of dark power!”
After thinking about it, he said to Roy, “Initially, I wanted to add an Angel Slayer attribute to your weapon, but now I feel that this enhancement seems a little appropriate!”
“Angel Slayer?” Roy asked in surprise. “What enchantment is this?”
“It’s an enchantment similar to ‘Dragon Slayer’!” Vulgrim explained. “Among enchantments, there are often ones that specifically target certain creatures. Dragon Slayer is for dragons, ‘Demon Slayer’ is aimed at demons, and Angel Slayer is naturally for angels. This enchantment would allow your weapon to deal greater damage to angels!” “It’s a pretty good ability!” Roy said in understanding. “Isn’t it good?”
“It’s best if this sword of cursing specializes in the power of cursing!” Vulgrim said. “In this case, as you continuously use it, the dark power attached to the sword will naturally condense and develop in the direction of the curses. Over time, the power on the sword will become stronger and stronger. It won’t be good if the attributes are too complex.”
“Then, how do you plan on strengthening it?” Roy asked directly without thinking too much.
“How about ‘Heavy’? With this enchantment, all enemies injured by this sword will become extremely heavy, causing their movements to become sluggish!”
“Sure!” Roy was not picky. In any case, getting Vulgrim to help him strengthen Frostmourne was basically a bonus from bargaining. Of course, it was worth it! If Roy were to create this ‘Heavy’ enchantment attribute himself, the consumption of souls would increase because of the increase in the attributes of the sword…
Seeing that Roy did not object, Vulgrim took out his tools and began to fulfill his commitment.
His tools emerged from the void, reminding Roy of Vulgrim’s special ability, so he had some evil thoughts. This guy has probably stored all the good things he’s collected in his space through his spatial ability. If I can break or find the space he hides things and directly snatch them from him, maybe I can make a fortune out of it.
Of course, even if he wanted to, Roy did not really carry it out. The success rate was too low, and it was unnecessary… Even if it really worked, he would probably have to pay a lot.
While Roy was lost in thought, Vulgrim gradually became flustered.
When he began enchanting Frostmourne, he suddenly realized that he needed far more materials and magic power than he had imagined!
There was nothing to be done about it. After all, Roy had created Frostmourne through the system, and there was an incremental effect when enhancing. Now that he handed it over to Vulgrim for strengthening, the incremental effect would not disappear. The ‘Heavy’ curse was only a relatively simple enchantment, but when it came to Roy’s sword, the consumption of materials increased several times. This was akin to using a large number of materials to substitute for the use of souls.
Not only was Vulgrim flustered, but his heart ached to death. He knew that he had been deceived by Roy’s strange sword of cursing! The dark curse power originally attached to this sword was actually very condensed, leading to it having a natural repulsive effect on the newly-added curse. To add it forcefully, he had to pay a greater price!
However, Vulgrim could do nothing about it. It was a part of the deal. Although he was a profiteer, he would still find a way to carry it out since they had reached a deal.
Thus, he could only endure the pain and continue to strengthen the sword…
After he finally finished, Vulgrim handed the sword to Roy and shouted, “It’s a loss! A huge loss! Damn it. I shouldn’t have accepted your additional condition!”
Roy looked at the additional ‘Heavy’ attribute on the sword and felt very satisfied. This was equivalent to saving at least one or two thousand souls. How could he not be satisfied?
So Roy threw the angel core and the middle-class holy soul to Warglin. “The deal is done. You can look for me if you need anything next time!”
Roy’s greatest hunger was actually for Vulgrim’s spatial ability. If he remembered correctly, Vulgrim had a type of spatial channel called a ‘Serpent Hole’. It seemed to be opened by him using his ability as a rift demon, and he could lend it to others to use. Using this Serpent Hole, anyone could ignore geographical factors and cross thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye to reach another place.
Roy did not know how many materials Vulgrim had consumed, but he seemed to be in great pain and said angrily, “One loss-making deal is enough. I don’t want to do more!”
With that, his body suddenly disappeared, leaving that sentence as he left.
Roy was not angry. He opened the canteen containing the well water and found that it was blue and full of an alluring smell. He plugged it again and planned to find a place to use the well water without disturbance.
If nothing unexpected happened, when he used the well water, it would be time for him to break through to high-rank demon…
