“It can fuse with weapons, gaining more forms.”
That's interesting.
Rod pulled out his “Executioner” revolver from his dimensional storage.
He placed both pieces of equipment together.
The moment the ice-blue greatsword touched the Executioner, it was like molten iron, frantically pouring into the revolver.
Moments later, the greatsword in Rod's hand had vanished.
In its place, on the revolver, appeared streaks of幽蓝色 (You Lan Se) patterns.
Rod gently spun the cylinder of the revolver.
Bang!
A bullet, radiating frost, shot out.
The bullet struck the wall, instantly forming a patch of deadly frost.
“This is like enchanting the gun, right?”
Rod muttered softly.
While retaining its original power, the gun’s strength was enhanced with the special power of the “Sigh of the Dead.”
The damage to souls increased dramatically.
Rod separated the gun and the “Sigh of the Dead.”
Although the fused state could boost the power of the Executioner, it would limit the combat styles.
After all, the Sigh of the Dead could only maintain one combat form at a time.
Moreover, many of this magical equipment’s features, such as devouring souls and enslaving the dead, could only be activated by killing the target in close combat.
Therefore, this magic treasure was more suited for use as a cold weapon.
If attached to firearms, it would only be an embellishment.
It wouldn't unleash even one-tenth of its potential.
“It's possible to fuse several cold weapons.”
Rod stroked his chin; a weapon that could freely transform into various forms could adapt to complex battle environments at crucial moments.
It had great developmental potential.
Putting away the greatsword, Rod pondered another item.
【The Book of Black Magic】
In the distant past, humans, deities, and various powerful magic creatures coexisted.
Everything was peaceful; the gods protected humanity, and all races lived in harmony.
Until one day, the gods disappeared one after another.
The long-standing wars between the races erupted.
At that time, humans were the lowest beings in the world, harassed by countless powerful monsters and used as food.
Until the birth of magic, humans gained the power to rival magical creatures.
Although the magical world today has blurred the boundaries of magic, in that ancient era, magic was divided into two categories: black magic and white magic.
White magic focused on healing and protection, while black magic was feared for its curses, killing, and destruction.
Augustus, the most renowned figure in the history of black magic, was considered one of the founders of black magic.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with powerful demigods and beasts, a mere mortal.
This Book of Black Magic was compiled by Augustus, containing his lifetime of insights into black magic.
It was divided into three volumes, and he received the inheritance of the first volume.
Rod felt the complex and profound knowledge in his mind.
If the magic book he received from the witch was merely an introduction to the world of magic, then this volume of the Book of Black Magic had opened the door to the magical world for him.
Black Magic, Necromancy, Alchemy, Potionology, Curse Arts, Barrier Arts
All sorts of magic legacies were like an encyclopedia of the magical world.
Although it was only the first volume of the Book of Black Magic, it did not record those particularly powerful spells.
But, it was enough for him to learn slowly.
“Quite a haul.”
Rod murmured softly, a powerful magic treasure and a complete legacy of black magic.
These things were more valuable than a pile of gold coins.
Leaving the cave, Rod stood before the mountain of copper coins.
Leaving a treasure mountain here was not his style.
Taking it with him seemed pointless.
Therefore...
“Sacrifice!”
In an instant, the mountain of copper coins and bronze artifacts disappeared.
A delicate bronze basin appeared on the open ground.
“A basin?”
Rod was stunned, he threw a spell.
Appraisal, one of the basic spells, could identify an object's origin, material, and function.
Though a basic spell, it was incredibly useful.
However, this spell only worked on ordinary items and low-level magic items.
For excessively powerful magic items, it could only reveal incomplete information.
After one appraisal spell, Rod learned the function of the bronze basin.
Bronze Treasure Basin, could continuously absorb magic power to produce copper coins and exquisite bronze artifacts.
Moreover, it would periodically spawn a magic mineral imbued with special power, which could be used to forge magical equipment.
Magic minerals for forging magical equipment, that was quite good.
The Book of Black Magic had a legacy of alchemy.
After sacrificing the copper mountain, Rod looked at the large dog sitting on the ground.
Although this dog was obedient, it was useless to him.
Therefore, recycle it.
Direct sacrifice!
He placed his palm on the large dog's head.
As the sacrifice ability activated, Rod instantly felt a wave of rejection and struggling intent.
The originally docile large dog showed a ferocious look.
Huh?
This thing, it actually had its own consciousness?
Rod frowned, he thought this large dog was a special kind of alchemical creature.
But, alchemical creatures should absolutely obey their creators and users.
How could there be thoughts of resistance?
