Chapter 668: Saka’s Demeanor
There was another drawback to this spell.
A wizard needed three steps to cast a spell: extracting enough mana from mana pool, using the mana to construct a spell model, and unleashing the spell.
The first two steps were performed inside mindspace, while the last step required someone to make the spell happen by using their body as a medium so that the spell could enter the reality.
However, using someone’s soul to channel a spell equaled temporarily making their soul into a magic conductor, which would be prone to hazardous energy in the environment.
Even with these problems, Soul Manipulators still regarded Soul Link as an important spell because it had an extra, irreplaceable merit that allowed wizards to transfer the essence of their presence into their souls before their bodies were killed.
For this reason, many wizards were willing to study Soul Link as an “addendum” to their skills even if it would take them lots of time to learn something out of their expertise.
When someone lost their body, retaining the “essence” could prevent their soul from becoming a hostless wanderer. After finding a new body, they could always slowly attune the connection between their soul and the body until it was as good as the original.
“Undead? You want to test your weapon?”
“Yes. Before returning to the Old Earth, I want to fully figure out the properties of Prelude to Rebirth.”
“Maybe someone happened to hand in undead souls just now. Or… someone wants to talk to you and receives your help.”
It was a reasonable theory since Angor was well-known as an alchemist now. Either way, he had to go see for himself.
…
Angor headed to the resource center on his own, and the same receptionist welcomed him.
“You’re in luck, Mister Padt! Someone provided freshly-captured undead to us just after you left.”
Angor checked a screen, which showed the resource repositories, and saw the item “undead” had “two units” instead of zero.
“How much for these?”
“A hundred crystals for a unit. You can have all two if you wish.”
“Is the price always the same?”
“Yes. We usually buy them from others at 50 and sell them at 100.” The employee didn’t hide their pricing policy.
Since the price didn’t change, Angor wondered if it was just pure luck and not because someone wanted to request his service.
“Can you tell me who provided the resource?” Angor decided to ask another question.
The clerk looked a bit surprised but still answered him, “It was Mister Saka who gave us two undead souls.”
