The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 671 - 668: Yu Chous Protection (First Update)
Chapter 671: Chapter 668: Yu Chou’s Protection (First Update)
Having thoroughly researched the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, Liszt could hang it on his waist every day, but the blade without a scabbard seemed somewhat awkward.
Therefore, the next task for Alvin Eagle Sword was to craft a sheath for the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword.
Playing with the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, Liszt suddenly remembered the huge harpoon he had brought back from the Fish Ugly Temple. He had not yet studied the Necrofish Ugly within it. He immediately left the Knight Academy and found an open area by the seaside, from where he took out the harpoon from the Gemstone Space.
The more than five-meter-long harpoon was directly inserted into the sandy mud by the seaside.
Next, Liszt took out the Soul Storage Vessel and tipped it upside down like a teapot, and instantly a stream of glowing smoke poured out, which then formed into the figure of a 36D young woman.
It was Virginia Truth, Curtis Truth’s sister.
“Ah, I’m out again, Viscount Liszt, I feel like it has been a long time since we last met,” Virginia had grown accustomed to living as a soul.
Liszt smiled and said, “It has been quite a while.”
As his strength continued to grow and more magicians joined his territory, his research capabilities steadily increased. However, the role that Virginia, a common magician, could play had become increasingly minor. He had grown reluctant to release her often and even planned to hand her and the Soul Storage Vessel over to Ach for research.
Today, he summoned her with the goal of consulting her on how to summon the Necrofish Ugly from the harpoon and turn it into a weapon to guard him.
He was not particularly interested in the meager combat power of the Necrofish Ugly, but after all, it could cast advanced magic and was considered Grand Magician level. If he could fix it to his flagship, the Sunset, it could provide a significant defense while sailing the open sea.
If they encountered a sea monster or pirates, striking unexpectedly might prove to be exceptionally effective.
“Virginia, you have grown accustomed to being a soul, can you sense that there is also a powerful soul hidden within this harpoon?”
Virginia floated toward the harpoon, and her soul passed through it, then exclaimed in surprise, “I feel a cold breath of death, but the soul power wrapped within is very weak, Viscount Liszt, can you tell me the origin of this harpoon?”
“It comes from the ancient relic, the Fish Ugly Temple. There is a Necrofish Ugly hidden inside this harpoon; it guarded the Fish Ugly Temple but was killed by me. I feel it is hiding inside the harpoon, so I wanted to release it to see if I could subdue it and have it protect the safety of my ships.”
“A Necrofish Ugly? Perhaps I can activate it.”
“That would be appreciated.”
“Are you sure you want to activate it here? It might still try to attack you.”
“Don’t worry, if I could annihilate it once, I could do it twice,” Liszt said with a slight smile. Although last time, it wasn’t he who had acted, but killing the Necrofish Ugly on land was a piece of cake for him.
Virginia spoke no further.
Her soul directly touched the harpoon, and her body flickered with light. The next moment, the same light shone on the harpoon. Then, a twisted green light was projected from the harpoon, which transformed into the towering image of the Necrofish Ugly, ten meters tall. However, compared to its ferocity when first seen, this time the Necrofish Ugly appeared clearly dull.
“Is this… due to not adapting to the land environment?”
“I don’t think so,” Virginia floated next to the Necrofish Ugly, looking like a tiny dot, “Viscount Liszt, I think it’s because you inflicted heavy damage on its soul when you first killed it, causing it now to be soul-damaged and thus devoid of basic consciousness.”

“So, this Necrofish Ugly is now useless?”
“Yes.”
“What a pity for such a grand harpoon; now that the Necrofish Ugly has become dull, it seems nobody can use it anymore,” Liszt shook his head slightly and then said, “Virginia, I’m getting ready to attend a banquet now, please return to the Soul Storage Vessel for now, and we can chat again when I’m free.”
However, Virginia didn’t move, but appeared somewhat hesitant and undecided.
Liszt frowned at her.
She finally seemed to make a decision, “Viscount Liszt, if you wish to command the Necrofish Ugly and this spear, perhaps I can offer some assistance.”
“What kind of assistance?”
“I can replace the soul of the Necrofish Ugly with my own. In the mass of the Necrofish Ugly’s soul-shadow, only the core is the soul, the periphery is some kind of power I am unfamiliar with. Once I take the place of the core soul, I will be able to control the entire Necrofish Ugly.”
Liszt was somewhat surprised but then he said, “If I am not mistaken, the undead are different from souls. The undead include the power from before death, which is transformed into the state of a soul, but the soul itself is not strong. As you have seen, the soul of the Necrofish Ugly has been destroyed, but its power from before death still exists.”
“I understand,” she said.
“So, are you truly willing to replace the soul of the Necrofish Ugly and become such an ugly undead monster?”
Virginia nodded earnestly, “Compared to staying in the Soul Storage Vessel, asleep and unaware of the passing of time, I prefer to have some measure of freedom. The Necrofish Ugly is indeed very ugly, but for someone in my state as a soul, ugly and beauty mean nothing. Viscount Liszt, please let me take the place of the Necrofish Ugly as its guardian!”
A 36D young woman’s soul was about to become the soul of a ten-meter-tall Necrofish Ugly.
It might be a sudden shift in style, but Liszt had no reason to stop her. Rather than confine her to the Soul Storage Vessel, he preferred to grant her the limited freedom of the Necrofish Ugly’s form, “Then, I agree.”
“I am very grateful for Viscount Liszt’s generosity!” Virginia bowed solemnly, and thence, her form determinedly flew towards the tall, foolish-looking Necrofish Ugly.
She plunged into the green light and quickly found the shattered soul, merging with it swiftly.
The next second.
The shadowy body of the Necrofish Ugly shuddered.
Afterward, the light seemed to slightly change. The originally ugly and fierce face of the Necrofish Ugly actually underwent some transformation, gaining an expression resembling that of Virginia’s.
A quarter-hour of silence passed.
The Necrofish Ugly slowly began to speak, “Li…szt… intuition…”
The words were muffled and Liszt couldn’t make them out clearly, but after the Necrofish Ugly adjusted itself, its speech became more distinct, “Viscount Liszt, I have replaced the soul of the Necrofish Ugly.”
“How does it feel?”
“It’s tolerable. I can feel a sense of physical touch that I haven’t felt for a long time,” she said, stretching out her hand to pick up the spear stuck in the ground, “I’ve merged with the fragmented memories of the Necrofish Ugly. Most of it seems blank, with just a few spells left to cast.”
Liszt became interested upon hearing this, “How is it different from a human’s spellcasting?”
“It is somewhat different, but the basic principle remains the same, especially since these spells seem to be advanced magic. I’ve never experienced such a manner of spellcasting before… No, I need some time to adjust before I can cast these spells.” Virginia had only been a common magician in her life, never having experienced dynamic magic arrays, and thus incapable of casting advanced magic.
“You have ample time to adjust. Meanwhile, record the spellcasting procedures. However, can you exist in this state indefinitely?”
“Seems not, my soul is decaying. In another half-hour, I probably won’t be able to sustain the body of the Necrofish Ugly. However, I can enter the spear to replenish my soul’s energy. After gathering enough, I can come out again… By the way, Viscount Liszt, the name of this spear is Tear Staff.”
Even though it is a five-pronged spear, it’s called the Tear Staff.
