Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 135 Even resurrection won't work.

The skull captain's head was separated from his body, and the skeleton below the head was scattered all over the ground.

Just when Ronan thought he had dealt with the skeleton captain, suddenly, an invisible force enveloped the skull and other bones in the skeleton captain's eye sockets.

Under this force, each bone reconnected, forming a complete body again.

A moment later, the Skeleton Captain stood up again, though the soul fire in his eyes had dimmed somewhat.

Ronan then realized that anyone below the captain level could be eliminated simply by severing the connection between the head and other parts of the body.

However, once you reach the captain level, the opponent may revive again even with the same attack method.

Undead creatures are essentially souls, with their bodies merely containers for those souls.

As long as the soul has not completely dissipated, most powerful undead creatures can be resurrected by reconstructing their bodies, especially skeletal undead creatures.

Conversely, undead creatures that prioritize the physical body, such as some Frankenstein-like creatures, often have their souls fixed to their physical bodies. While this enhances their abilities, it also diminishes their resurrection capabilities, unlike skeletal undead creatures.

However, such resurrection also has limitations and conditions, and cannot achieve the degree of infinite rebirth.

The resurrection of this skeleton captain in front of us consumed a certain amount of soul fire.

As it stood up again, with two bone plates covering its shoulders, the figure of the person above me instantly reappeared behind it.

This is the most important lesson Ronan taught me:

Don't just stand there and watch your opponent unleash their ultimate move!

Even resurrection won't work.

As soon as the skeleton captain stood up, his vision spun again, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness made him realize that his head had been severed once more.

The familiar scene played out once again, with Captain Skeleton beginning to revive once more.

However, this time, a single kick sent its other bones flying in different directions.

Without the other bones, even if the Skeleton Captain wanted to be resurrected, he wouldn't be able to piece together a complete body.

This method is much simpler than directly attacking the head and causing the soul fire to dissipate.

In no time, only the skull of the skeleton captain, two pieces of shoulder armor, and some other scattered bone fragments remained on the spot. The slightly larger bones had been scattered all over the battlefield.

Ronan sighed to himself, realizing that his own control in battle was far inferior to the autonomous control mode he was given.

He's not in a hurry to forcefully regain control now.

He discovered that as long as he was given a general direction, he could basically meet his command requirements.

And now, Ronan's order to it is:

Absorb the soul core of this skeleton captain.

Originally exploring the two shoulder armor plates of the Skeleton Captain, he immediately turned around, drew his bone blade, and slashed at the Skeleton Captain's head.

Although this head was of captain rank and quite hard, it still couldn't withstand my indiscriminate stabbing with a sharp bone blade.

Soon after, the soul core in the skull began to dissipate, and the resurrection power vanished.

Hold my general's mangled head up to my eyes and stare at it.

Gradually, the soul core in my head surged into the soul core placed on me.

Its soul core has received another boost.

Ronan discovered that the entire surface of the soul core was covered with a layer of translucent crystals. These crystals protected the soul core and also prevented the soul within it from dissipating.

My strength was already close to the captain level, but after absorbing the soul core of this skeleton captain, I stepped into the threshold of the captain level.

Although its size did not change significantly, its bone density increased by a level, and its weight changed from a light skeleton to a heavy skull.

Unlike the Skull Captain, it did not grow shoulder armor covering its shoulders. Instead, the bone blade, which was originally a weapon, became even darker and shinier, and even just holding it in your hand, you could tell that it was an extremely dangerous weapon.

To verify this, Ronan asked me to test the strength of the bone blade.

I received orders to immediately retrieve the skull captain's head for one last use.

It tossed the head into the air at an angle, then swung its bone blade, slashing at the falling head.

Ronan had expected to see his head shattered into pieces by the bone blade, but in reality, the dark bone blade sliced ​​through his head as smoothly as a knife through butter.

This once incredibly sturdy captain-level head was easily sliced ​​in two.

It's obvious that once my strength reaches the captain level, the enhancement will be the sharpness of my bone blade.

Ronan couldn't help but think that he wouldn't need to think about finding weapons for it anymore.

My overall strength has improved, and my IQ has also increased.

Ronan wanted to see what level it could reach at this point, and whether it could take care of itself.

So, instead of immediately regaining control of the body that was on me, he gave it a direct command:

Stay put, launch surprise attacks, and reap the benefits.

These three simple commands took me a long time to understand, before I finally bent down and crawled forward.

The chaotic battlefield was filled with fighting.

No one would notice the crawling skeleton, let alone realize that its strength had reached the captain level.

Unlike Ronan, who sneaked around on the edge of the battlefield, I climbed openly towards the center.

Ronan didn't know what it was planning, but he just hoped it wouldn't do anything reckless. He was already prepared to recall it before it died.

Compared to the edge of the battlefield, the center of the battlefield is filled with many powerful undead creatures.

However, I wasn't foolish enough to move towards the direction where these creatures were most powerful. Instead, I slowly crawled towards the center, ensuring that I wouldn't be affected by the battle.

Ronan was a little curious. Where were they going?

He is unable to communicate with me consciously.

After wriggling around on me for quite some time, a treasure chest appeared before its eyes.

Ok?

Ronan found it strange. The craftsmanship of this box was clearly the product of intelligent beings. How could undead creatures also make boxes?

It seemed to sense that there was something it desired inside the box, and its wriggling speed increased.

However, after getting a certain distance from the box, a sharp slash suddenly struck, cutting it directly in two.

Ronan didn't even know where the attack came from; he guessed it was probably just a casual strike from some powerful undead creature nearby.

Fortunately, I was promoted to captain level, which gives me basic resurrection capabilities.

My body, which had been split in two, was reassembling when another slash appeared in mid-air.

If I were to take another blow at this moment, I probably wouldn't be able to come back to life.

Ronan immediately communicated with the soul core to recall it. A spatial fluctuation appeared on the spot, and the body on it disappeared from the spot.

The sudden slash cut through the air, creating a deep gash in the spot where it landed.
