Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 341: Chapter 339: Special Mirror Image Undead

While Luna was leading her troops for a break, Gu Xi was already dragging all the eerie corpses back to Evil Wood Lake.

Before dealing with the major eerie corpse, Gu Xi dismantled smaller eerie corpses to practice, intending to focus on the major one once he found his rhythm.

This time, among the major eerie corpses, there were some non-humans, but Gu Xi had already figured out some of the processing methods.

Now, he just needed to fully grasp certain knowledge to start taking action.

With a clear direction, Gu Xi’s disassembly of the eerie corpses went smoothly this time.

However, a dilemma soon arose for Gu Xi: the bottle used to store Death Rule, known as the [Water of Order], was already full.

The originally bright blue Water of Order had turned pitch-black.

Gu Xi could hear the resentment and wails emanating from the bottle just by opening the lid.

Without even looking, Gu Xi knew that if he forced more into it, the Death Rule would turn this bottle of [Water of Order] into Water of the Dead.

Left with no choice, Gu Xi paused his work and turned to deal with the Midnight Mirror, which had become a truly dead object after the Death Rule was extracted.

Gu Xi knew how to handle the Midnight Mirror after meeting Luna.

It was non-human and lacked a soul, so he decided to give it an Elf.

Gu Xi picked up a Ghost Yin Fruit that looked like an apple, stood in front of the broken full-length mirror, lit a white candle, and began to meticulously peel the apple in front of the mirror.

Although the timing might have been off, Gu Xi’s execution of the other aspects of the ritual was commendable.

The apple’s peel came off without breaking, and as he peeled, Gu Xi’s gaze was fixed on the reflection in the mirror.

Once the first apple was peeled, Gu Xi suddenly reached for the mirror and forcibly extracted the reflection from it.

”I knew it, the Rule here has spawned intelligence, it’s sufficient now, as long as I enclose you in it.”

As he spoke, Gu Xi’s hands didn’t stop moving.

He rapidly drew the Magic Array of the Undead Transformation Technique on the mirror surface, continually using various materials as sacrificial offerings.

As for stuffing and modifying the corpse, Gu Xi didn’t need to do that; after all, the Midnight Mirror wasn’t an ordinary corpse, and even if Gu Xi wanted to insert organs, he wouldn’t know where to put them.

Gu Xi merely drew the Magic Array on the mirror’s surface without patching up the broken parts. After finishing the Magic Array, he stuffed the soul back into the mirror.

Once the soul was inside, Gu Xi’s mana was rapidly drained.

Gu Xi noticed that the mana being drained was not absorbed into the mirror surface but flowed into the full-length mirror’s stand.

This baffled Gu Xi; perhaps the stand was the key to the full-length mirror.

With mana infused into the stand, Gu Xi observed the full-length mirror, initially over two meters tall, start rapidly growing taller.

The originally unimposing stand also thickened to the size of a small leg, with its gold and silver decorations transforming into a black, skeleton-like style.

Soon, from the split in the mirror surface, a silver liquid flowed out, and within the mirror, a figure constantly struggling began to writhe.

[Your use of the Soul Summoning Skill was successful, resulting in obtaining a special undead (Dead Mirror Immortal, Level 4), Soul Summoning Skill experience +1, with some insight on Skills like Corpse Structure, Undead Research, Soul Knowledge.]

[Special Undead: Dead Mirror Immortal (Level 4)

Can be stationed at buildings: Library, Magic Tower, School

Trait Effects:

Mirror Immortal: Using an eerie divination method, you can obtain the corresponding answer from the Mirror Immortal if you can provide the right offerings. However, without offerings, your soul will become part of the offering.

Ritual Master: As the origin of certain eerie rituals, the Dead Mirror Immortal has deep knowledge of various rituals, significantly increasing the success rate when placed in ritual-required areas.

Soul Suppressing Cage: Some imprison souls in mirrors, over time causing strange occurrences. Now, the Dead Mirror Immortal has reversed this process, preventing souls trapped in mirrors from becoming new eerie entities, instead becoming part of the Dead Mirror Immortal.]

[Note: A very special undead; since it cannot move, it must be commanded through rituals, and most importantly, the answers it provides are not guaranteed to be true.]

After successfully completing this undead transformation, Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

The successful execution of the Undead Transformation Technique equated to opening a new path for Gu Xi.

Now, Gu Xi had a deeper understanding of the knowledge needed for the Undead Transformation Technique.

If the Death Rule on the next three major eerie corpses had been extracted, Gu Xi would have already commenced the next steps.

But for now, Gu Xi had to pause his actions, directing his subordinates to carry the Dead Mirror Immortal towards the library.

As Gu Xi led the Dead Mirror Immortal near the Witch’s House, the Witch at the window waved at him.

”Mister, come play! Oh, no, sorry, wrong line, guest, new items have arrived, would you like to come in and take a look?”

Gu Xi turned to look, remembering that he had already arranged for everything refreshed daily to be collected. What happened this time that no one dealt with it?

Despite his curiosity, Gu Xi entered the Witch’s House.

Upon entering, Gu Xi saw an item placed on the central table inside the house.

Next to it, two spots held some coins made of condensed negative energy. Apparently, it wasn’t that Gu Xi’s subordinates didn’t come to purchase items, but rather the item left behind exceeded normal value, and the people Luna left didn’t have enough money to buy it.

This piqued Gu Xi’s interest somewhat.

Gu Xi approached the table, reaching out to pick up the item placed there.

It turned out to be a half-set of gold ribs, judging by the size, it wasn’t from a sheep but a human.

As soon as Gu Xi lifted the ribs, he became aware of the item’s nature.

[Golden Sternum (Purple, Incomplete): From the bones of Golden Humans, each bone boasts Purple Quality; however, as it’s not complete, containing only half a rib cage, it can only be used as Blue Quality. It can be employed to enhance an undead project or serve as the primary material for undead creation.]

Purple, but incomplete.

Quite unfortunate.

Reflecting on these attributes, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh; if it had been a complete set of purple bones, even if just ribs, he’d have dared to directly summon with it.

Now, this item wasn’t as outstanding as expected, only usable for enhancing undead.

Such a great opportunity wasted.
