The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 531 - 440, Psychokinetic Swordplay

Chapter 531 -440, Psychokinetic Swordplay

Return to the mansion.

Mini was watering the flowers with Shanaela in the flowerbed.

These past two days, there hadn’t been much happening with the Starflowers, so Shanaela had started coming more often again.

Moreover, she was treating this place as if it were her own home.

Wu Heng greeted the two women and then went upstairs to the room where the ceremony had been conducted last time.

He released both Ghosts.

Xiao Xiao circled around his head, while Glenda directly asked, “Did you find out anything about last time’s incident?”

“No, the leads have run dry, and the investigation did not continue,” Wu Heng replied.

The investigative methods of this world were not as advanced as those in modern times.

It was just some basic detective work, supplemented by Special Items or tools.

Interrogative methods used by Necromancers, or certain truth-telling tools, were considered quite advanced for this world.

Now that Wu Heng hadn’t uncovered anything, leaving it to the association and the Guard Team made it even less likely that they would find anything.

Glenda advised, “Then you should be cautious on the island, the enemies are even more dangerous than the Pirates.”

“Yes, I know.”

Wu Heng continued, “Today, I got the materials I was missing from the consortium, so I can enhance your abilities now.”

Both Ghosts remained silent, waiting.

Wu Heng then said, “Last time it was Xiao Xiao’s turn, this time let’s enhance Glenda!”

Xiao Xiao also nodded in agreement, “Mhm, let’s enhance Aunt Glenda.”

Glenda did not refuse but simply asked, “What type of ability?”

Wu Heng took out the Necromancer’s notes, “It’s called ‘Psychokinetic Swordplay’.”

“So you’ve only collected the materials and haven’t looked into what the ability does?” Glenda looked down, somewhat dissatisfied.

“No, I had looked at it before, glancing at it again now, just to be more accurate,” he responded.

“What’s the effect?” she inquired.

Wu Heng explained, “It allows Ghosts to have the ability to wield weapons with their hands.”

Ghosts, without physical bodies, could not wield weapons.

The ‘push by thought power’ they did possess could, however, lift objects, but it could not achieve the effect of swinging or chopping.

It had some use in stopping or moving objects.

But for killing enemies, unless it was like in Pirate Village, lifting rolling thunder and hurling it towards the Pirates.

After listening, Glenda no longer asked questions and simply nodded in agreement, “I have no objections.”

As Wu Heng’s level increased,

the enemies he faced became increasingly powerful, and if Ghosts could only provide reconnaissance, they would no longer be keeping up with the effects Wu Heng desired.

Especially since Xiao Xiao had also acquired the ability to see enemy levels.

Enhancing Glenda’s abilities was essential.

Despite inquiring about the ability’s name and effects, she was going to be enhanced regardless.

“Okay, I’ll prepare the ceremonial materials, you two wait here for a while,” Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao raised her hand in the air, “Uncle, since I’m not needed, can I go upstairs to watch cartoons? I’ll come down after Auntie is done.”

“Go ahead, just keep it down in the study.”

“Got it,” Xiao Xiao replied, then flew up through the roof.

Wu Heng also took out the materials he had prepared, one by one.

Blood and Gold Powder were mixed in a bowl, and then he began drawing the type of Formation needed for the ritual, following the manuscript’s record.

Compared to the last time with Xiao Xiao,

this Formation was a bit more complicated, but the instructions were clear enough to be followed to completion.

When the final stroke was finished, closing the Formation,

a dark Necromancy energy began to permeate the surroundings.

Without any delay,

he precisely placed all of the materials in their designated spots according to type and quantity.

Once everything was ready, he looked toward the air, “Glenda, go ahead and enter, it’s safe.”

Even in her Ghost form, Glenda’s nervousness was evident.

She nodded and directly flew into the center of the Formation.

As Glenda entered, the Formation began emitting light.

Materials crumbled like fine sand, turned into energy, and flew toward Glenda, intertwining and forming a rotating vortex.

As time went by,

Glenda absorbed all the energy and returned to her original form.

[Ghost Unlocks Skill: Psychokinetic Swordplay.]

The skill was successfully unlocked,

and it went smoothly.

Glenda, looking at her translucent body, asked, “Is it over?”

“It’s over, you can come out now,” Wu Heng said.

Glenda flew out and said, “Actually, I don’t feel much different after the enhancement.”

“Don’t worry,” Wu Heng said before checking her status panel.

Sure enough, a new skill ‘Psychokinetic Swordplay’ had appeared.

[Psychokinetic Swordplay]: The spirit entity has the ability to focus thought power, allowing it to attach thought power to a weapon and achieve an effect similar to wielding a sword.

It was similar to what was recorded.

It’s just that you can’t really grab a weapon, which is hardly possible because there’s no physical body.

Rather, you can hit it with psychokinetic power and adhere to the weapon.

It’s similar to wielding a sword.

It still seems very useful.

Looking up again, Glenda too was feeling her powers in mid-air.

Wu Heng took out a sword and placed it on a table beside him, “Try it, see if you can wield it as if you’re really holding it.”

Glenda looked toward the iron sword.

She began to concentrate and use her psychokinetic power.

After several attempts, the weapon on the table was directly grasped by a transparent hand at the hilt.

She lifted it from the table.

Wu Heng was somewhat surprised, and Glenda’s soul was also unexpectedly pleased, “It really works.”

“Swing it, give it a try!”

Swish swish~!

A series of whooshing sounds filled the air as the iron sword cleaved through it.

Just like the usual fluffy control of objects with psychokinetic power.

“The effect is so good!” exclaimed Glenda, surprised.

Wu Heng continued and took out a handgun, “Try this.”

The handgun—Glenda had seen him use it before and intuitively grabbed it, holding it in her hand, she aimed in two directions.

“Try going invisible!”

Glenda turned invisible, leaving only the gun floating in mid-air.

It looked somewhat eerie.

“How is the effect?” Glenda’s voice came from the air.

“The effect is quite good.”

Glenda materialized from mid-air, handing the handgun back to him.

Wu Heng said, “From now on, you’ll be able to help out in battle too.”

“Yeah, I can finally be of some help.”

After mastering the skill.

Wu Heng went back to the study upstairs where Xiao Xiao was watching a cartoon.

Looking up, she asked, “Auntie, was the ritual a success?”

“It was successful.”

“Oh, what ability did you get, auntie? Show me.”

Glenda smiled and reached out to grab a cup of water nearby, moving it a little.

Xiao Xiao was a bit disappointed, “Is that it? You could move things before, no?”

“It’s different. I can hold weapons now and join the fight.”

Xiao Xiao lacked enthusiasm, “Alright then, as long as you’re happy.”

Wu Heng sat in the study for a while.

As evening approached, Mini’s voice calling for dinner came from downstairs.

He instructed the two ghosts not to leave the upstairs.

Then he went downstairs for dinner.

…

The next morning, after breakfast.

Wu Heng headed straight to Zombie World.

He left the room.

He glanced towards the waiting room.

Today, there weren’t many people coming to exchange supplies—just two individuals, talking to a survivor responsible for the exchange, each holding a bag.

Wu Heng descended the stairs, and Qi Hancai hurried over to him.

She pulled him aside and said, “Something’s happened.”

“What’s going on?”

“Yesterday, we sent a few people ahead to ‘the military district’ to check things out, but they haven’t come back. We sent a rescue team, and they said they haven’t found any trace of them,” Qi Hancai said gravely.

Wu Heng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as well.

People had disappeared!

Given the current situation in the refuge, it wasn’t likely that they ran away with the supplies.

More likely, they had encountered danger.

If it were zombies, then the following rescue team would have found the location of the incident.

Zombies, after all, wouldn’t move vehicles away.

So it seemed clear that an incident had occurred, yet it was unrelated to zombies.

Just as Wu Heng was about to speak, someone came out of the room where the radio was housed.

Calling over to them, he said, “Sister Qi, come here for a moment.”

Qi Hancai turned her head and glanced back, joining Wu Heng as they walked over.

Upon entering the room.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

The female survivor responsible for the radio said, “A refuge just contacted us, claiming they have our people. If we want them alive, they’re demanding two thousand bags of grain and 500 guns with ammunition.”

Five hundred guns?

Do they have five hundred people?
