Demonic Skeleton God-Chapter 118: Flor is The Danger

"I no longer have any usable space on my body, and if I were to carve it into my face, firstly it would be even more difficult because cheeks don’t have stable skin, and on top of that it would be weak because the circle would be small. Anyway, in the past it took me about 50 attempts to create one functional rune circle, so that took at least one year. That’s another very important fact in Rune Magic: the larger the circle, the stronger the effect. That’s why even the circles I have on my body are not very advanced or powerful. But in direct combat they’re very good. Because the power of a magic circle depends not only on the size but also on how strong the person who activated it is."

"What makes Rune Magic much better than Elemental Magic is the mana consumption. An average rune circle requires much less mana than an average elemental spell. Another advantage is the possibilities — you can create your own rune circle much more easily than a spell. I’m sure that none of you in this room has created, or will ever create, a spell — that’s the harsh reality. Creating spells is one of the hardest things you can imagine," said Eryndor.

When Flain heard that, he smirked inwardly — his statement didn’t match reality at all.

"I think that’s enough for today’s introductory class. Next time I’ll teach you the basics of creating rune circles, focusing mainly on the core because that’s the most important part," said Eryndor, stretching his fingers.

"I hope I sparked some interest in Rune Magic within you. That’s all for today, you may leave," said Eryndor, and the students, tired from such a first day, began leaving.

Flain was very interested in Rune Magic, but it didn’t quite convince him that he should use it instead of Elemental Magic. However, he would keep attending because he felt it might come in handy in the future.

What somewhat bothered Flain was that he couldn’t carve rune circles onto his body because his body consisted only of bones — no skin. Carving them into bone would be pointless because the surface area is too small, so the resulting effect would be very weak and small.

He doubted that carving into armor would work, because why would the professor carve them into his own body if it could be done easily and painlessly into armor?

Outside it had already gotten dark, and all the students were rushing into their rooms. Flain had agreed with Flor that Flor would arrive with someone he knew, so he just had to wait.

Flain already had dinner prepared on the table, which he simply threw into the trash sack and then sat down. He wasn’t physically exhausted, but mentally — he had acquired quite a lot of information, and he tried to remember it all as well as he could.

But it still was nothing compared to the mental exhaustion in Dimension X, which he actually missed a bit — but he still hadn’t designed a spell. He needed to choose something good, because he’d be working on it for an unhealthily long time.

Flain’s thoughts were interrupted by knocking that echoed from his door.

Flain opened the door where Itai was standing. That pleased Flain because those annoying servants could’ve come instead, and since he was immersed in thoughts, he hadn’t really been aware of his surroundings and didn’t know whether they had come upstairs after him or not.

Flor entered and closed the door behind him. "It worked," he said and pulled a corpse from his spatial ring, tossing it in front of Flain.

Flain examined the corpse. It looked exactly like his current human form, only with slightly older features. Flain extended his hand with the ring and pointed the ring at the corpse. The red eyes of the wolf glowed intensely, and from its mouth emerged a giant aura in the shape of a wolf’s head, which devoured the corpse and returned back into the ring. frёeωebɳovel.com

"That looks like a pretty advanced artifact," said Flor when he saw the wolf’s head.

"Heh, now I just need to activate it," said Flain.

The wolf’s eyes glowed again, the effect of Necklace of Deception disappeared, and Flain appeared in his black armor. Flain’s body in armor then began to shrink until it completely vanished. After that, a human skeleton started appearing there, followed by organs, and finally, skin.

Flain looked at his human hand and clenched it into a fist. He had expected at most that human skin and eyes would attach to his body, but he hadn’t expected his entire body to transform. He also hadn’t expected that it would take his armor with it, because when he checked the system, the bonus from the equipped armor was still present.

But then it hit him—when the system explained how armor works for Flain, it mentioned that the armor practically becomes Flain’s body. That’s why hhg worked even on armor, and on top of that, there’s a chance that if Flain carves runic circles into the armor, it might work.

Flor handed him a uniform, which Flain put on, and then Flor examined him from all sides. "You look identical to a normal human," he said with a smile.

Flain took the swords from his inventory and swung them around for a bit, and it seemed like his strength hadn’t changed at all. Then he remembered that he was supposed to tell Flor about the summons.

"Recently, I obtained a new ability that allows me to summon two monsters that obey my every command," said Flain, waiting for Flor’s reaction.

Flor’s smile didn’t fade. "That’s called Summons. I have one too," said Flor, and his shadow trembled as a small creature emerged from it.

Its body was completely black and no more than half a meter tall. Its body consisted only of two short legs and a bean-shaped torso.

"With the help of this little friend, I can read anyone’s memories and slightly alter them," said Flor, and his smile widened even further.

Flain’s eyes opened wide, and his mind was consumed by urgent thoughts. "Are you saying..." he murmured.

"Yes. I know almost everything about you. I know that you reincarnated into this world, I know about the system, and I also know about Athrylith and that those aren’t your summons but your slaves," said Flor.

Flain’s eyes widened even more...
