Chapter 399
399: Three abilities of the Tri-colored skeletal staff
Hearing what Wolf said, emotions surged uncontrollably within Han Shuo’s heart. The Calamity Church was probably aware of some information regarding the Cemetery of Death. What Wolf had just stated was probably true.
The center of the first layer in the Cemetery of Death was indeed an ancient magic transportation array. It is precisely through this ancient magic transportation array that Han Shuo could travel everywhere without restrictions. When he heard Wolf say that the transportation array could also connect between planes, Han Shuo was indescribably astonished.
Common magic transportation arrays within the continent normally had a limitation of distance. For example, the transportation arrays between large cities in Lancelot Empire could only cover a few hundred kilometers. No one has ever heard of deploying a transportation array that could cover a distance of several thousand kilometers.
The further the limit of the transportation array, the higher the requirements were. Apart from the comprehension of the person setting up the array, a painstaking effort had to be expended on materials and finding a favorable location. A space sacred magus could only set up a transportation array that had a maximum distance of two thousand to two and a half thousand kilometers.
Yet, the large-scale transportation array in the center of the Cemetery of Death could, according to Wolf, transport across planes. This was extremely inconceivable to Han Shuo. When Wolf mentioned that the Cemetery of Death was a structure from a different plane, Han Shuo felt even more light-headed.
Seeing Han Shuo’s shocked expression, Wolf continued, “Of course, the Holy Land also has another saying. It is said that the transportation array can be moved and it was similar to a Magic Tower and was self-sufficient in attacking and defending. These were all legends handed down within the church, but I think they are trustworthy.
“As for the skeletal staff in your hands, you can see it as the key to entering the Holy Land. The tri-colored skulls on the skeletal staff each possess a strange power. Firstly, it can multiply the strength of a necromancer’s spells. I think you are already very clear about this power. The second strange power, you’ve already tried it on me. It is the miraculous ability to let a necromancer become youthful again. Not only can it be used by the necromancer in possession of the skeletal staff, it can also be used on other people.
The final power of the skeletal staff, which I’m unsure if you have tried it before, is rumored to be able to open the pathway to the netherworld. The user would be able to enter and exit the netherworld with just a thought. This ability is the most unfathomable. It can allow necromancers familiarize with the netherworld and let them reach a higher level of understanding in necromancy.
Each of the tri-colored skulls contained a different power. However, these three abilities are only theories that have been passed down in the Calamity Church for a long time. As for whether the skeletal staff has more secrets, it’s not something I’m able to comprehend. What I have just told you is all that I know.”
Han Shuo, who had originally planned on exploring the secrets of the Cemetery of Death, recognized Gilbert’s urgency. He had no choice but temporarily shelve his plan of immediately investigating the Cemetery of Death. He hurriedly left the Cemetery of Death and rushed toward the Valley of Sunshine.
Along the way, Han Shuo unleashed the Art of Demonic Nine Heavens. Without wasting too much time, he arrived at the cliff within the Valley of Sunshine where the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Group were hiding. Gilbert had already felt Han Shuo’s aura and had waited at the bottom of the cliff for a long time.
There was also a coquettish and attractive woman standing beside Gilbert. The woman had a well-developed body and a gorgeous appearance. Her sepia-colored hair was weaved into nine little braids which cascaded down her shoulders, making her appear pretty and mature, possessing a unique flavor.
When Han Shuo landed, the woman was evidently somewhat fearful, unconsciously moving nearer to Gilbert. Gilbert casually embraced the charming woman and explained to Han Shuo, “This is Lania. She was subdued by me in the Dark Forest. You’ve seen her before!”
Hydra! Han Shuo stared blankly but understood soon after. He couldn’t help but take another look. Lania bowed politely toward Han Shuo and said delicately, “Master!”
Han Shuo didn’t further question the hydra, Lania, and only nodded toward her. He then frowned and asked Gilbert, “What happened that made you so anxious for me to come?”
“Trunks is missing. There’s no sign of him in the whole Valley of Sunshine!” Gilbert said worriedly.
