The Wise Stone fusion is complete, and you have acquired the Wisdom Aura talent.
Wisdom Aura: A racial aura, passively activated. Enhances the potential and intelligence of your resurrected undead. Permanently immune to mental status ailments.
"Comfortable."
Feeling a cool energy flowing into his brain, Nightfall nodded in satisfaction.
As he expected, the Wise Stone indeed provided an aura effect. Although it only targeted the undead he revived, its range covered the entire map, eliminating the need for him to stick around like a light bulb.
In addition, Nightfall's most significant gain was the substantial increase in soul energy capacity. With a whopping infusion of ten thousand soul points into the Wise Stone, his soul energy limit reached 120 points. What surprised him even more was that upon breaking the 100-point threshold, he gained a new skill:
[Deathlight Enchantment]: Consumes 1 soul point to release a beam of deathlight, causing damage to living beings or healing undead. Note: This skill has been integrated into the disguise effect, feel free to use it.
"Finally... an offensive skill!"
Nightfall raised his eyebrows. Although this skill had a relatively high consumption, it was his first active offensive ability. This meant he would no longer fear the lack of a quick release for the skyrocketing soul energy, especially in the current situation where the remaining free-floating soul energy around him was scarce but already filled his capacity.
To avoid wasting energy, Nightfall absorbed the scattered soul energy while simultaneously shooting deathlight at his two companions, Dust and Rust.
"Deathlight Enchantment!"
With a humming sound, a black-green beam of light shot towards Dust's chest, penetrating his bones instantly. However, since Dust had no injuries, this deathlight had no effect.
For caution's sake, Nightfall switched to the disguise view to observe. The deathlight under disguise now appeared as a blue-green liquid, somewhat resembling the acidic corrosion skill of the water element, but he couldn't determine which one had higher damage.
Moving forward, Nightfall finally reached the edge of the Misty Forest.
Although the burning of the Lorand Forest left behind some overlooked soul energy, Nightfall had to abandon the idea of searching for it due to the scarcity of remaining energy and the potential danger posed by Yang Tian, who might set the Misty Forest on fire.
Before entering, Nightfall instructed Rust to explore the path ahead.
Rust, receiving the order, stepped into the black mist. After waiting for five seconds and safely retreating, Nightfall, still cautious, had him try again for an additional minute. There were no issues.
Observing this, Nightfall dared to extend his own arm, finding no hindrance, and finally stepped into the black mist.
The sensation of passing through the mist was like pushing through cotton, sticky and a bit suffocating. However, Nightfall soon felt his body relax, and he passed through smoothly.
What lay before him was a tranquil forest, yet Nightfall was somewhat disappointed upon the first glance. Most of the trees seemed to have withered, suitable for firewood but not for construction materials.
Just as Nightfall was about to shake his head and retreat, he suddenly noticed three points of soul energy floating not far away.
"Corpses? Could it be..."
Licking his lips, considering that Yang Tian and his team also consisted of three individuals, these three points of soul energy might belong to them. In that case, their corpses should be nearby.
Although Nightfall couldn't defeat entities like the Holy Knights, he couldn't resist taking a look before leaving.
While cautiously moving away from the unidentifiable dead trees, he noticed more free-floating soul energy rising not far away.
"This should be them."
Thinking of Yang Tian and his team suffering at the hands of the wolves, Nightfall unconsciously moved towards that direction.
Of course, Nightfall wasn't being sadistic, nor did he intend to recklessly face the Holy Knights. Rather, he wanted to see if there was an opportunity to deal with the black cat in Yang Tian's possession. As long as the cat lived, Nightfall would have to worry about potential threats.
In this isolated Misty Forest, Nightfall hoped to find a chance. Especially after realizing that the natives here were not easy to deal with.
After instructing Dust and Rust, who were not skilled in stealth, to stay put, Nightfall cautiously moved forward.
However, soon strange moans reached his ears.
"Brother... don't!"
