My Players Are So Fierce

“You’re so narrow-minded…”

Triss shook her head helplessly and said:

“We’ve seen similar handbooks in your Eternal Library. It’s said to be an extremely advanced protective spell, but no one outside of the Sanghai people can use it.”

“It’s not exclusive to the Sanghai people. Actually, as long as a spellcaster can sense elemental power, they have the foundation to learn this composite spell.”

Nifytelli waved her hand and explained:

“It’s just that spellcasters on the continent have always been obsessed with Spiritual Energy. Except for some mountain people who have preserved the Shaman tradition, there are very few spellcasters now who can sense the elements. That’s why something like this large-scale Ice Coffin looks like an unbreakable formation to you.

But since we’ve figured out its principle, we don’t need to go all out. I’ll just use the power of fire element to burn a path through it.”

“Wait!”

Murphy, who was listening nearby but felt like a primitive vampire, suddenly shouted:

“I think I just heard ‘Shaman’, so do the Sanghai people still have the Shaman profession?”

“Don’t you have a weird reconnaissance magic that can see others’ professions?”

Triss asked suspiciously:

“Didn’t you realize Nifytelli is not only a Mummy Priest, but also a highly distinguished Shaman?”

“Throwing around my reconnaissance magic casually would cause hostility. I’m someone with status now, so I must maintain my dignity and can’t randomly toss reconnaissance magic like a newbie to make enemies. They can afford to instigate chaos, but I cannot.”

Murphy explained, and after obtaining Nifytelli’s consent, he cast a reconnaissance magic on her:

Name: [Tamedog]Onale Nefertaly Pome

Race: Sanghai People/Undead

Rank: Level 30 Body of Silver·Elite Template·Reserve Divine Chosen[Death Moon Sect]

Profession: Level 20 Mummy Priest/Level 20 Shaman·Elemental Specialization/Dancer·Desert Style Specialization

Status: Undead Mind Imbalance·Intermittent Madness·Netherworld Consciousness Carrier

Character Description:

[The poor girl thinks her unclear mind is due to water in her brain, but she isn’t aware of the real reason. The concept of death might not be a real divine spirit, but without a doubt, she is the eyes used to watch an Alpha…

Hence, a guilt-ridden vampire would do well to find a place to pray for the unfortunate souls suffering because of him.]

“?”

Murphy raised an eyebrow in surprise.

It wasn’t just because Nifytelli’s choice of profession was a bit strange, but also because he once again saw strange annotations. Ever since binding with the Blood Vulture Clan’s civilization candidate, using reconnaissance magic and item identification has yielded these odd notes.

This time, however, the notes seemed to have a hidden meaning.

It suggested that Nifytelli’s madness wasn’t caused by falling into water, but by her proximity to him, making her the eyes through which the Netherworld Will observes him. This pressure from the Netherworld is what destabilizes the Mummy Girl’s mind?

And what does “the concept of death isn’t a real divine spirit” mean?

Is this hinting that the belief system of the Sanghai people is different from other races on the continent?

The Sanghai people do not worship a personified divine being, but instead worship the concept of death directly?

Whoa!

This sounds even more mysterious.

“What’s going on? Your face looks like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Triss immediately noticed Murphy’s odd expression. She asked worriedly, and Murphy shook his head, then asked Nifytelli:

“You mentioned that spellcasters on the continent trust only Spiritual Energy and can no longer hear the voice of the elements. So, resources for casting spells on this continent are not limited to just Spiritual Energy, right?”

“Of course! All Spiritual Energy is heretical!”

The Mummy Girl responded sternly:

“According to ancient Sanghai legend, when the creator’s power still protected the earth, naturally occurring elemental power and magic converted from elements were the legitimate paths for spellcasters.

That was the power belonging to this world itself.

In that golden era, Spiritual Energy didn’t even exist. It was only after the creator left the world, when its grand design was disrupted by Outer Demons, that impure powers from outside entered the world.

I know many psychics on the continent believe Spiritual Energy comes from the Star Realm, but that’s not the case!

The source of Spiritual Energy is the Subspace, the abyss where impurities dwell.

Those Evil Gods designed Spiritual Energy to appear generous to lure spellcasters onto the path of Spiritual Energy.

As long as you pray, Spiritual Energy will respond. Over the past millennium, the path of Spiritual Energy has spread widely, but the path of the elements, meant to protect the world, is only preserved in the Origin Land and Kalem Ancient Country.

This is why your region suffers from calamities, but the Origin Land and Kalem Ancient Country can maintain long-term stability.

It’s the bitter fruit of forgetting the creator’s teachings and using the power of demons!”

“Not this again!”

As a Spiritual Overlord, Triss really disliked this blend of power and faith, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to argue with Nifytelli. But Murphy stopped her.

The vampire looked at the righteous Mummy Girl and puzzledly said:
