Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

Chapter 97: The Necronomicon

"Boom!"

Fireballs rained down on the three minotaur brothers at the front, creating a series of deafening roars.

Fireballs exploded on their chests, their flesh churning, charring, and cracking under the intense heat. More fireballs scattered around, instantly turning the scene into a sea of ​​fire.

Scattered flames pierced through the undead and rushed toward Lynch, striking the elemental shield of the Wisdom Set with a crisp cracking sound, the shield's radiance flashing incessantly.

At the same time, Lynch's counterattack was also unfolding.

The Dark Wolf's three heads opened their mouths wide, unleashing a barrage of flames, ice, and force fields at the Necronomicon.

Large swaths of books were either frozen into ice blocks, blasted into fragments, or torn apart by force fields, and fell from the sky like a rain of paper.

However, there were simply too many of them, so this loss was insignificant.

Several books were burned, and several more flew up from the collapsed bookshelves; a dozen were burned, and dozens more rose from the depths of the corridor...

They poured out from upstairs and from the gaps in the staircase.

They swarmed like a flock of startled bats, densely filling the space above the hall. The sound of pages turning blended into a noisy rustling, like countless insects gnawing at wood.

"Splash!"

Large swaths of the Necronomicon scattered in the air, the scattered pages folding and folding rapidly in the air, forming paper cranes.

Countless!

"call out!"

With a high-pitched buzzing sound, the flock of origami cranes began their attack on Lynch and his undead army.

Their wings appear thin, but are as sharp as blades, easily slicing through the leather armor of dungeon skeletons and leaving deep marks on their stone-skinned armor.

Some origami cranes will even transform into fireballs and explode on the undead.

Lynch's undead minions were also fighting back, each attack knocking down large numbers of origami cranes. However, given the sheer number of enemies, it was still a drop in the ocean.

Seeing that the situation was developing in a bad direction, Lin Qi still did not make any further moves. He stood still as if he was dumbfounded, letting the attacks hit the shield around him.

He squinted, focusing all his mental energy outward, his gaze sweeping across the sky full of books again and again, as if searching for something.

at last!

When his gaze fell upon the deepest part of the group of books, it settled on a different book.

It was a thick, black hardcover book. Unlike the other books, it did not participate in the attack, but remained quietly suspended in the deepest part of the group of books.

"Found you!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately gave the skeleton archers the order to attack.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

Three energy arrows were released simultaneously, tracing three streamlined arcs in the air, bypassing the flying origami cranes, passing through layers of books, and heading straight for the black book.

Caught off guard, the black book was accurately struck by the energy arrow. With a few "thuds," the arrow pierced through the book and firmly pinned it to the wall.

"Now!"

With his signature loud roar, Lin Qi grabbed the magic wand that was floating beside him and aimed it at the black book that was nailed to the wall.

He poured his spiritual energy into the staff without reservation, and the pale blue stone at the top of the staff shone brightly in the flames.

"Thunderbolt - Lightning Strike!"

'

Seven bolts of lightning shot out simultaneously from the wand's tip, intertwining, coiling, and merging in mid-air, transforming into a winding, twisting giant serpent of lightning.

The snake's body was silvery-white, its scales gleaming blindingly in the flames, and its mouth was wide open, revealing fangs made of electric arcs.

It shot out from the tip of Lynch's staff, through the sea of ​​fire, through the flock of origami cranes, through the layers of the Necronomicon, and bit into the cover of the black book.

"Crackling and booming—!"

The moment the fangs of the lightning serpent pierced the pages of the book, the entire black book was engulfed by silvery-white lightning.

The giant lightning serpent transformed into countless tiny arcs of electricity in the explosion, scattering in all directions and simultaneously igniting dozens of necromancer books nearby.

The chaotic scene around them came to an abrupt end.

The thousands of paper cranes in the air seemed to have their strings cut at the same time. Their wings stopped flapping, they hovered in the air, and then fell one by one.

They drifted down from mid-air, densely packed, like a silent, white snowfall.

Soon, the hall fell silent again.

Only a few pieces of paper, still burning, remained scattered around, sizzling in the flames like fiery flowers blooming in the ruins.

Once everything had completely settled down, Lin Qi started walking forward and came to the black book that was nailed to the wall.

The black hard cover had been pierced by an arrow, which had embedded itself in the wall behind it.

The Necronomicon, which was nailed to the top, was tattered and torn by the ravages of the lightning serpent, leaving only a small part of the middle cover.

A few words, written in runic language, are still faintly visible on the cover:

Anne's Magic Notebook

Like the modified unicorn, the Necronomicon belongs to the swarm type of undead, possessing a unified soul core, and this magic notebook in front of us is the core of these thousands of undead.

It was originally a gift from the wizard master of this wizard tower, a 12th birthday present to his only granddaughter, to help her learn magic.

To make it easier to use, the wizard Velas connected it to the wizard tower's magic network and granted it access to all the knowledge bases within the wizard tower.

Anne can access any knowledge existing within the wizard's tower through this magical notebook.

Therefore, this magic notebook gained the ability to control all the books in the wizard's tower.

Standing in front of the books, Lin Qi decisively raised his hand.

Dominate the undead, activate!

Spiritual energy surged from the sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into countless invisible threads that burrowed into the tattered "Annie's Magic Notebook".

The three energy arrows nailed to the spine of the book disintegrated into starlight, and the book slid off the wall.

But it stopped halfway down, and the pages began to turn again.

The pages that were pierced by arrows, scorched by lightning, and burned by flames grew back one by one from the charred remains.

Ink marks quickly appeared on the paper, line by line, column by column, runes, patterns, equations, and so on, as if an invisible hand was writing on it at lightning speed.

The entire book is like a plant reborn from ashes, completing the entire process from withering to blooming in just a few seconds.

Soon, the necromancer was restored to its original state.

With a "click," the book closed.

It floated quietly beside Lynch's body, like a tamed little bird.

[Dominate the Undead: Necronomicon (Unholy Necromancers)]

[Level: Iv18 (Advanced Apprentice)]

【Spirit: 28.2】

[Skill: Magic Materialization, can materialize spell models recorded in the book and release them externally. Current number of recorded spell models: 2, Fireball, Thousand Paper Cranes]

[Passive: Never wears out]

[Passive: West Wizard Tower Knowledge Base]

Lynch's lips curled up.

This magic notebook is a real treasure!

It was created by the wizard Velas at great expense and with a great deal of effort, and it has the ability to materialize spell models.

Simply put, any complete spell model, as long as it does not exceed the strength recorded in the spellbook, can be cast through this spellbook.

It's important to understand that normal wizards have limited energy, and learning magic is a very time-consuming and energy-intensive process.

Although Lin Qi has the advantage of having a study, it only ensures that he can learn; it doesn't mean he can learn without a teacher. He still has to diligently read through each page.

With the task of exploring the underworld, cultivating, and potentially undertaking other projects in the future, Lin Qi's time is extremely precious.

The limited number of spell models available now doesn't have a significant impact, but once more spell knowledge is acquired in the future, learning them will likely become a real headache.

It's important to know that some complex models can take months or even years to learn.

With this magic notebook, I can feed it spell models that I don't have time to learn in the future. Even if I haven't mastered them, I can still cast them through this magic book.

Lynch reached out and grabbed the magic book, then turned the pages.

The first thing that catches the eye is a densely packed catalog, all related to the cultivation of magical plants:

"Moonlight Grass Planting Manual", "Screaming Fruit Harvesting Instructions", "Complete Guide to 126 Basic Magical Plants"...

Such as these.

Lynch's lips curled up even higher.

With these things, and after repairing the Wizard Tower and the external cultivation system, he can then embark on his extraordinary plant farming journey.

His gaze casually landed on a certain entry in the table of contents, and the pages immediately began to flip automatically, eventually stopping on the page containing the relevant content.

Interspersed among these entries are casual notes and reflections written with wavy lines and dashes, clearly the work of Anne, the original owner of this magic book.

When Lynch turned to a page, his gaze fell on a line of text at the end of the page.

This is a complaint: "Grandpa is so annoying! It's just a letter; couldn't he have just sent a raven or the postman? Why did he have to make me run the whole way?"

"François! Good heavens, sending me to such a faraway place is insane..."

Franz.

Its full name is Tower of Falan.

The largest wizard tower in the Land of the Dead before it was destroyed.

It does not belong to any faction in the world of the dead, nor does it ever participate in any conflicts in this world.

But it possesses formidable strength that rivals any other power!
