After exhausting a large amount of Wizard Power and mental energy, Yang Ling finally managed to tame the monster called Ymort, obtaining his memories.
As it turned out, in the ancient times, there was a large empire by the name of Thebes on the continent, lorded over the generations of Pharaohs. The empire had a vast territory and a massive population, and it was prosperous for some time.
The people of Thebes used spices to preserve corpses, and after drying them out over the years, the corpses would become mummies. They believed that a person’s soul would not die even after the person has died, and would still attach themselves onto corpses or statues. Thus, influential people like the Pharaoh would be turned into mummies after they died, and their descendants firmly believed that they would be reincarnated in the faraway future.
After every generation of Pharaoh passed on and were made into mummies, they would be buried in the underground tomb within the Amazon Forest. In order to protect the tomb and prevent the dead from being looted by tomb raiders or disturbed by war, the generations of powerful Pharaohs would strengthen the defenses of the tomb by setting up countless magical traps.
Every time they sensed someone building a city outside the Amazon Forest and felt threatened, the guards of the underground tomb would awaken and unleash a merciless attack on the enemies. After the mission was complete and the threat was removed, they would return to slumber within the underground tomb. Otherwise, more and more guards would awaken and unleash a large-scale attack.
Ymort was an evil Spellcaster that existed in the history of the Thebes Empire. Because of his powerful abilities, he had become one of the guards by the side of the Pharaoh. After meeting several times with the beautiful wife of the Pharaoh, Ansunam, the two of them developed feelings and fell irreversibly in love for each other.
Once, just as they were tightly locked in each other’s embrace in a desolate corner of the palace, they were discovered by the Pharaoh that had coincidentally passed by the area. In their alarm, the two of them had escaped quickly, attempting to leave the palace as well as the powerful Thebes Empire. Unfortunately, they had not made it very far when the Pharaoh surrounded them with his powerful army.
In the end, the beautiful Ansunam got strangled to death by the guards; Ymort was on the receiving end of a furious curse of the Pharaoh, his soul transposed onto a bunch of scorpions as he was turned into an undead guard in the underground tomb. As long as his soul was not destroyed, he would be under the control of the underground tomb, never to be reincarnated.
“Hehe, the so-called control of the underground tomb is merely a soul imprint in the brain!” After summoning Ymort and ascertaining that there was only an imprint of his soul in his brain, meaning that he could only be controlled by him, Yang Ling let out a faint smile.
Even though Wizards had many disciplines such as Wizard Martial Artists, Poison Wizards and Shadow Wizards, a true Wizard strived for absolute control over the soul, as well as the most primal source of energy that exists in this world.
Even though he was still far from grasping the high-level Wizard Techniques that control the soul, Yang Ling had successfully replaced the underground tomb as the one who had authority over Ymort after successfully taming him. Unlike the underground tomb that imposed heavy limits, Yang Ling had given Ymort individual thought as well as immense freedom!
“Thank you Sir!” After meditating for a moment and sensing the changes to his body, understanding that he had been free of the control of the underground tomb, Ymort was elated, speaking as he groveled respectfully before Yang Ling.
Rumble, rumble…
Seeing the scorpions crawling around Ymort’s body and realizing that Yang Ling had gained another monster by his side, the Thousand-faced Mink on Yang Ling’s shoulder let out two dissatisfied grunts, then turned its head away in disgust. Even the fearless Dark Dragon King felt uncomfortable if he stared at Ymort for too long.
Those scorpions that were crawling around his body, the continuously twitching eyes, a nose and ears that would frequently contort and change its shape… This was too much of a challenge for someone’s patience!
“Ymort, wear this mask and this long robe! If there’s nothing going on, don’t get your scorpions to crawl around the area!” After taking the human-skin mask made by the Corpse Wizard King, Yang Ling took out another loose robe from within his Space Ring.
If Ymort were to return to Jaboli like this, Yang Ling believed that all of the merchants and townspeople would run away!
“Yes, I understand!”
Seeing Yang Ling knit his brows, Ymort let out an awkward smile, quickly wearing the human-skin mask and the robe. He would look the part if he was equipped with a magical staff. As long as one does not observe him closely, they would not notice anything obviously different within a short span of time.
Ability to transform at will, the Soul Fire never extinguishing, the soul never dying!
Seeing Ymort look the part, thinking about the crawling scorpions under his robes, Yang Ling suddenly thought of a Wizard Mantra used to create puppets that was recorded on the stele.
According to the explanation on the stele, the puppet Wizard Mantra could rob the right of control over from another living being, creating a ball of Soul Fire in their brains. Even if the original body was to be utterly destroyed, they would be able to live on as a puppet and keep their memories. When the technique was trained to a high level, they could even transform at will. As long as all of the puppets were not destroyed at once, they could be revived an unlimited number of times, making it an incredibly powerful technique.
“Ymort, I have a few spells here, you should seize the time to learn them. They would definitely be beneficial to you!” After a moment’s deliberation, Yang Ling formed a hand gesture and imparted his memories related to the Puppet Wizard Mantra directly into Ymort’s mind.
Over this period of time, Yang Ling had been deliberating the problem of imparting Wizard Techniques to quickly boost the strength of the Magical Beast Territory. Not only would finding a large number of suitable candidates outside require a great deal of time and energy, it would also invite the suspicion and misunderstanding of other parties. He might as well first impart these skills to his aides as well as the high-level Magical Beasts he had tamed.
The Dark Dragon King had the potential to become a Wizard Martial Artist, while Alice was becoming an exceptional Poison Wizard. The purple rat Little Ice might be suitable for an assassin-like Shadow Wizard, and Ymort who had a powerful soul would definitely be a qualified Wizard Guard…
He was filled with anticipation for how terrifying the Scorpion King Ymort who was made out of scorpions would become after mastering the Puppet Wizard Mantra!
“Thank you Sir, thank you Sir!”
After meditating for a moment and understanding how valuable the spells Yang Ling imparted to him were, Ymort once again respectfully groveled before Yang Ling, only standing up after Yang Ling instructed him to do so. As a monster who had lost his original body and had his soul implanted into the many scorpions, he knew more than anyone how powerful and precious the Puppet Wizard Mantra was!
“Hehe, young man, follow the leader and you are guaranteed to be able to enjoy life. If you have nothing to do, you can even…” The Corpse Wizard King spoke as he patted on Ymort’s shoulder, his lips forming a lecherous smile, “After you do your task well, you might even be able to get him to revive your pitiful little beauty!”
In the eyes of someone else, Ymort was simply an evil demon out of their nightmares. But in the eyes of the Corpse Wizard King, he might make for a good buddy! One of them had dealings with scorpions all year round, while the other was perpetually dealing with zombies and skeletons. They were birds of the same feather.
Young man?
Looking at the lecherous Corpse Wizard King, then looking at Ymort by the side, the Dark Dragon King shook his head and let out a bitter laugh. If Ymort who had been slumbering within the underground tomb for upward of ten thousand years was considered a young man, then what was he?
“What, you say that you can revive Ansunam?”
In his elation, Ymort stared straight at the Corpse Wizard King. Perhaps he was overly agitated, he shed a layer of scorpions, his entire body shrinking in size. Yang Ling erupted in sweat when he saw that.
If he were to suddenly shed a layer of scorpions with their bared fangs and weird chitter when everyone was to someday sit together and enjoy barbeque, not only would the food become unsafe to eat, everyone might even vomit the food they had yesterday!
“I do not have the ability to revive your little beauty, look for His Lordship yourself!” Looking at the scorpions crawling around on the ground, even the Corpse Wizard King could not stand Ymort’s excitement, speaking as he darted to the side like a rabbit.
The Dark Dragon King extended his wings and took to the skies, saying that he had to catch some fresh air; The purple rat Little Ice also let out a few coughs, spewing out a few breaths of chilly air before leaving, saying that it had to use the toilet; Only the Thousand-faced Mink grabbed onto Yang Ling’s shirt tightly, its eyes closed shut, secretly curing the detestable Ymort!
If it had the abilities of the Pharaoh, Ymort would long had died several times over!
“This… When the time is right, I would give it the due consideration!” Looking at Ymort teary-eyed from the excitement, Yang Ling forced a smile, “The Puppet Wizard Mantra is extremely important. You should stay within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and rest quietly for this period of time. Also, look after your scorpions, don’t let them crawl around if there’s no reason for it!”
Yang Ling had just finished saying that when he waved his hands and sent Ymort into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space without waiting for him to give his thanks. He secretly thought about if he should find a human corpse as a vessel for Ymort. Given how powerful and mysterious the Wizard Techniques are, stealing or returning souls should not be difficult!
After removing the restrictions, Yang Ling ordered the Corpse Wizard King to return and give a report, then sat down in a small valley under the protection of the Dark Dragon King, purple rat Little Ice and Thousand-faced Mink, seizing the time to replenish the Wizard Power and mental energy he had expended when taming Ymort.
According to Ymort’s memories, he was merely an average outer guard within the underground tomb. There were many treasures in the tomb, but there might also be several powerful guards and terrifying magical traps. With his current abilities, forcefully charging into the tomb was no different than death.
He even suspected that the so-called Divine-level Expert from Margaret’s tribe that was the Second Elder had accidentally entered the mysterious underground tomb while he was training within the Amazon Forest, all traces of him vanishing after than. Otherwise, if he was still alive in this world, there was no way that he would not care about the survival of his tribe.
The guards in the underground tomb were extremely powerful. If all of them were to charge out and attack them, Yang Ling estimated that all he could probably do is to lead the men in escape. However, according to Ymort’s memories, the guards in the underground tomb could only wake up six months after the last batch had woken up. That meant that now that he had dealt with this crisis, he had half a year before the underground tomb would send out new guards.
Half a year wasn’t a long time, but it at least gave Yang Ling enough time to finish up the various preparations!
Over this period of time, as his Wizard Power and mental energy got stronger, he sensed that he was getting closer and closer to the day where he would advance to high-level Divine Wizard.
If he could advance to become a high-level Divine Wizard, grasp the Eight Trigram Wizard Seal, and become practiced with using and creating powerful Wizard Weapons before the guards of the underground tomb awakened, then he would have greater confidence of obtaining an utter victory! He might even be able to lead his army in attacking the underground tomb, obtaining the countless treasures hidden in the underground tomb before the Thebes Empire was eradicated.
