All of this was a surprise to Ash because he didn't expect that the space would have such capabilities. It knew that the toxins would have an adverse impact on everyone here, so it extracted the toxins and formulated some sort of detoxification effect on the spatial water. As long as they drank the spatial water, they didn't need to be afraid of the toxins.
The part that Ash didn't understand was when the space mentioned the re-implantation procedure, as well as the strengthening of toxic compounds. What did that mean? Did the space have toxic compounds?
Ash then realized that the skeleton had stopped struggling. It was just lying there very quietly. And the green fire in its eyes had become red.
Looking at the color of the soul fire, he understood what the re-implantation procedure meant.
But it still had to be verified, so Ashdecided to try it out. "Grandma, please release this thing. The space might have changed it into an ally."
Eva was surprised, but before she lifted her magic, everyone surrounded Ash. This single undead couldn't handle their group, so it was impossible for it to pose a threat.
Eva released her magic. The crocodile skeleton ran towards Ash, but the impression it gave wasn't scary, almost like a spoiled dog.
"Stop!" Ash quickly said.
He was afraid for it to get too close to him since he still hasn't drank the detoxifying water. If it touched him, he would be poisoned. Also, he wanted to see if he could command this creature.
Green was nervously looking at the skeleton, ready to attack it, but his fears were redundant because once Ash gave the order, the creature immediately stopped. Although it still looked scary, people felt that it was a little pathetic.
Ash didn't expect that such an evil looking undead could make people feel that way.
Eva suddenly said, "It seems to be an undead spirit variation, Master. This time we really picked up a treasure."
Ash was puzzled. "What is an undead spirit variation, Grandma?"
"Undead spirit variations are special. As an undead, the longer it can still move around, it will become more and more powerful. Not only will they gain a spiritual attack, they will also slowly regain the abilities they had when they were alive. This shallow water crocodile had a poison attribute. Normally, when it became an undead, it would just be an ordinary crocodile skeleton, but now it has poisonous abilities. So it could now hold dual attributes of the poison attribute and the spirit attribute. That is what we see now. In fact, when we felt it change, that was a spiritual attack."
Ash nodded, trying to understand. "So would that mean if a humanoid undead doesn't die, it will slowly regain its original skill?
Eva nodded, her face solemn. "Yes, Master. It is said that if a mage becomes an undead, he would slowly regain the same abilities from his life. A lot of people think that as long as one is an undead, they would only have attributes of a dark nature. But they are wrong. There are undead with various attributes on the Continent."
Ash looked at the crocodile skeleton. He really didn't think that he would actually find such a treasure. Spiritual attacks are the Continent's most dreaded attacks. It would be difficult to guard against, even for a mage. He didn't know that this thing could really attack the spirit, which was really a surprise. " From now on your name is Alien."
[ Host have been exposed to large amount of Dark magic. Host have qualified to become a monarch. Host have given the The power of Shadow Monarch. System have replaced Mana with Chakra, thus Host Chakra level will increase. Host Shadow Monarch power have been connected with Space. Host won't need any Chakra to control the undead or Shadow. Host body will undergo various changes to adapt the power of Shadow Monarch.]
Everyone was confused by the system's words. Green, Eva, Meg, Aiden and Ethan looked at Ash, as if asking him to explain.
"Young master, what happening?" Meg and others saw a dark cloud entering Ash body. Green and Eva wanted to react and save Ash.
" Relax! Everyone. This is the power of Shadow Monarch. I have become the Monarch of undead." Ash was super excited at this moment. Ash felt that his body was getting warm. His Chakra reserve level was increasing at super speed. Ash also felt that his eyes was getting heavier.
" Grandpa, I will probably sleep for a while. After I wake up, I will explain everything. One more have everyone drink water from the spring. The spring water can give everyone poison resistant to undead creatures." Ash fall on Meg arms.
Meg was startled. Then she smiled sweetly and carried Ash to his hut and let him sleep there.
Eva and others was dumbfounded by what they heard. Green and Eva was too shocked to even react. They clearly understood that Ash have gained the power of Dark Mage.
Green looked at Eva and asked. " What is a Monarch?" Although Green knew the answer he still wanted to make sure he was right.
" a sovereign head of state, especially a king, queen, or emperor." Eva said in daze. She was too shocked.
Green recovered his calm and ordered. "Everyone, go and drink water from the spring otherwise you will die due to poison from this undead spirit."
All the salves nodded and did as Green ordered them to.
Meg was watching Ash inside the hut. She saw that the Dark clouds around Ash is going inside Ash. After 5 minutes all the dark Clouds went inside Ash.
Meg could bite her lips and watch. She didn't know what this Dark fog was doing to Ash. But she knew that she cannot separate this Dark Fog from Ash' body.
After an hour, Ash slowly opened his eyes. Ash felt very powerful at this moment. His Chakra reserve have also increased to High rank of Special Jounin level.
" I do not feel any pain when open my eyes. My body have adapted itself. Tenseigan have become a part of my body. I also feel that my senses have gotten very sharp. I can hear and feel everyone's in the space.
Ash tried to concentrate his Chakra on his eyes. The next moment Ash saw everyone outside. Ash can see everyone, their movements. Ash can even see a blue colour Aura coming from the bodies of Aiden, Ethan, Meg, Eva and Green.
"So, I can see Magic Fluctuations coming from a warrior or mage body. The Aura around Green and Eva is super dense, meaning their power level is higher than Meg, Aiden and Ethan. That means I can judge ones power level from amount of dense Aura coming from their body."
"Later, I should test out my Tenseigan powers."
Ash was very satisfied with his new powers.
Ash suddenly felt that his view of the Hut changed. It's like he was watching the Hut from outside.
Ash suddenly recalled some information that was given to his by the system when he was unconscious.
" So, as long as system subdues any Undead spirit beasts then they will automatically become my Shadows. Their power level will also increase according to their original level when they were alive. One of the Shadow Monarch power is that the user can observe others through his shadows eyes."
Ash nodded in satisfaction and left the hut.
