The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 104 Tower of the Dead

"Gwen, go!"

With a thought in Sauron's mind, the ghost Gwen appeared, like a hungry wolf preying on food, devouring the surrounding balls of soul fire.

Meanwhile, not far away.

Several wraiths were floating in place, ready to move. After Pierre's death, the shackles on them had been broken, so they gradually began to lose control.

"Controlling the spirit!"

With a thought, Sauron saw the right moment and used the spirit-controlling rune on several wraiths.

The flame wraith and the double-bladed wraith were easily controlled by the spirit-controlling rune because they had been injured before.

But the wraith named Bakar let out a roar, raised the black hammer in his hand, and turned into a black mist to attack Sauron.

"Cursed Arrow!"

Sauron didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he shot a cursed arrow.

The Wraith Bakar, who was attacked, suddenly fell into a weak state.

Sauron's eyes flashed, and he used the spirit control rune again.

Since then, Sauron temporarily controlled the three wraiths, and then he used the soul branding rune to completely make them his servants.

After doing all this, Sauron's face was slightly pale.

Continuous use of the soul brand is a burden even for him, but it is worthwhile to be able to control the three-headed wraith.

Immediately afterwards, Sauron rested for a while.

Then, he looked aside, Pierre's headless corpse fell there, and the surrounding bones were broken, like a hell of bones.

"spiritualism!"

Sauron took a step forward and used the Spiritual Rune on Pierre.

As a third-level apprentice, the other party had no reason to attack and kill him if he had no grievances with Night Crow City, so it is obvious that he was ordered to appear here now.

"Miss Manliese..."

The gray-white spirit body floated out of Pierre's corpse, and murmured: "I will definitely take down Night Crow City and give it to you!"

"Malice?"

Sauron's heart moved. He was no stranger to this name. The other party was the daughter of the Duke of the West Territory and also the person who poisoned Ander.

In the eyes of the outside world, Malice is just an ordinary girl.

But since Manlis was able to escape from the capital easily after poisoning Ander in full view, it was enough to prove that the other party was not simple.

From Sauron's point of view, this Manlis is probably a transcendent just like himself.

"Go ahead, Gwen."

Sauron waved his hand blankly, and the ghost Gwen rushed straight to Pierre's soul.

"No! You can't kill me!"

Seemingly feeling the threat of death, Pierre's soul screamed, "I am a member of the Tower of the Dead, if you dare to kill me, Instructor Normaros will never let you go!"

While speaking, Gwen had already rushed over.

Pierre, who had just lost his body, had no power to fight back against the ghost attack, and was swallowed up almost instantly.

Ghost Gwen let out a squeak of satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, her body began to change color, from gray and white to black mist, which represented the process of evolving from a ghost to a wraith.

"Tower of the Dead!"

Sauron's eyes flickered, and just before his death, Pierre revealed another piece of news about a wizard organization called the Tower of the Dead.

Pierre is from the Tower of the Dead.

And if Manliss is also a wizard apprentice, there is a high probability that it is also related to this organization, but I don't know what the other party's status is in the Tower of the Dead.

After a while, Sauron shook his head.

Pierre died, and even his soul was swallowed. Sauron began to clean the battlefield, and found a dozen magic stones and a white magic wand from the opponent.

"Good stuff!"

Looking at the white wand, Sauron's eyes flashed a gleam.

There is no doubt that this white wand is an extraordinary item of high quality. The reason why Pierre can control hundreds of skeleton soldiers is mainly due to the power of this wand.

Sauron grabbed the wand, and after getting it, he found that the wand was made of the bones of an unknown creature.

"Bone Wand!"

Sauron tried to release the magic power and resonated with the bone wand.

The next moment, Sauron's expression changed.

There was a stabbing pain in his mind, and the invisible force struck like a tarsal maggot, and an illusory picture appeared in front of Sauron's eyes.

The lost continent, somewhere in a cave.

An old man in a black robe, who looked like a bone, sat cross-legged on the ground, as if a dying person had returned to the light, and suddenly opened his eyes.

"not good!"

Sauron's heart shuddered, and he quickly released more magic power to erase the brand on the bone wand.

Gradually, the picture in front of me disappeared.

Sauron's face was gloomy, but a black mark appeared on his wrist at some point.

"It seems that the old man is the real owner of the White Bone Wand!"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes.

The old man in the cave seems to be the Normaros mentioned by Pierre, and also the real owner of the White Bone Wand.

"This is trouble!"

Sauron frowned slightly. Even if the strength of the old man in the cave had not reached the level of a formal wizard, he probably surpassed the level of a third-level apprentice.

If Pierre is really his important person, then the other party will never let Sauron go easily.

Thinking of this, Sauron's face became gloomy.

But soon, he adjusted his mentality, packed everything and returned to Night Crow City.

The castle, inside the room.

Sauron looked at the White Bone Wand in his hand, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

This is a first-class extraordinary item with three runes attached to it.

Skeleton Summons!

Bone Shield!

The bone thorn!

These three runes have good effects, but Pierre didn't use them. In the previous battle, he didn't even have a chance to use the bone shield and bone thorn.

"Perhaps, the more important reason is that this extraordinary item does not belong to Pierre."

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind.

The owner of the White Bone Wand is the old man Normaros in the cave, and there is the opponent's mark on it, so Pierre cannot exert its true power.

But now, Sauron has erased the imprint of Normaros and branded his own soul. As long as he is familiar with it for a period of time, he can skillfully control this extraordinary item.

"Next, promote to the third-level apprentice as soon as possible!"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly. After getting the Bone Wand, his strength was improved again, but at the same time, he also offended the Tower of the Dead and Normaros.

Before the opponent finds himself, Sauron must improve his strength as much as possible.

Fortunately, according to the previous picture, Normaros seems to be retreating in the cave. In a short time, it should not pose a threat to Sauron.
