American Exorcism Male God

Chapter 78 The Correct Use of Necromantic Spells



Xu Yi toyed with the tin toy doll in his hand.

Originally, it was a cheerful cowboy doll, but sadly the red paint on its round face had flaked off, revealing the mottled tin underneath, which made the doll's smile seem a bit distorted and all the more eerie.

If you looked closely, you would find bloodstains in the crevices of the doll that couldn't be completely washed away.

This was a "treasure" that Xu Yi had stumbled upon in a secondhand goods store, a resentment-infused object of very decent quality.

Xu Yi glanced in Karl's direction; the bed was right next to his seat, with only a "wall" separating Karl and Xu Yi's beds.

Karl felt Xu Yi's gaze and shrank into the corner to avoid his stare.

"What are your plans? Do you want revenge?" Xu Yi looked at the empty dining table and mused to himself.

Under the lure of his Spirit Communication Ability, a grudge-bearing cat spirit leaped onto the table. It was larger than the other cat spirits, akin to a king among them, with bloodlust flashing in its pupils.

The large grudge-bearing cat spirit tensed up, feeling the pressure emanating from Xu Yi, sensing that the person before it could annihilate it forever.

The grudge-bearing cat spirit king returned to Karl, but Xu Yi was in no rush, waiting quietly.

Moments later, a swarm of grudge-bearing cat spirits charged at Xu Yi, pouring into the tin toy doll in his hands.

As the resentment surrounding Karl dissipated, he suddenly felt lighter, but he wasn't pleased; instead, he frowned at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi hurriedly placed the tin toy doll on the table and rubbed his hands together, blowing on them to warm them up.

It felt to him like he was holding a lump of ice, his hands nearly frozen, yet his eyes brightened more and more.

Among resentment-infused objects, tin dolls were considered quite good, only slightly inferior to Mary Shaw's puppets.

But now, after absorbing a massive amount of cat spirits' resentment, the tin doll had become a top-tier resentment-saturated object!

Xu Yi glanced at the system panel.

He had already finished imprinting on Mary Shaw's puppet, but unfortunately, the Necromantic Spells entry did not appear, stuck at a very awkward point.

But he was confident that once he finished imprinting the tin doll, he would definitely bring out the Necromantic Spells entry!

"Time to get to work!" Xu Yi took out an engraving knife, somewhat impatient.

The tin doll was only palm-sized, and compared to the previous puppets, the difficulty of engraving was significantly higher, not just by a star or two. Fortunately, having engraved so many puppets, he was very experienced.

The train whistled as it sped along, the wheels clanking against the tracks, producing a "clang clang" sound. As the scenery outside zipped backwards, Xu Yi fully eliminated external distractions and focused intently on engraving.

One by one, the sinister spells appeared on the tin doll, which seemed to take on a certain charm, as if it were coming to life.

As the last spell was imprinted, Xu Yi took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly.

All around him it was pitch black and suddenly, blood-red lights illuminated the darkness—those were the floating spells, from which large amounts of blood surged forth.

Enveloped in spells, Xu Yi suddenly understood the meaning of each one, feeling the wailing of the soul.

The Necromantic Spells were finally complete!

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes, and his first look wasn't towards the tin doll on the table, but towards his Exorcism Box.

With the entry acquired, he finally understood the true use of the Necromantic Spells.

It was not only to grant resentment-infused objects the ability of "Soul Sealing," but also to be imprinted on various exorcism artifacts, enhancing the artifacts further. Continue reading on empire

[Necromantic Spells (Complete Version):]

Phase 1: Engrave Necromantic Spells on an object to enhance Spiritual Perception.

Phase 2: Seal a soul into the object, turning it into a Spiritual Object; depending on the soul sealed within, different Abilities will be born.]

Xu Yi read the introduction to the Necromantic Spells again.

"Isn't this equivalent to enchanting in a game?" he suddenly realized.

Whether it's the Exorcism Lighter, the Dagger of Rest, or even the Alchemical Revolver Messiah, all can be enchanted.

"There's no need to rush for now, the strength of the enchantment effects has a lot to do with the sealed soul; it's not wise to act recklessly."

Wait! According to the introduction of Necromantic Spells, it's not just about inflicting resentment on objects or Exorcism Artifacts— even Common objects should be able to be engraved with spells.

If I engrave spells on bullets and then seal a soul inside, wouldn't that create an "Exorcism Bullet"?

Xu Yi's eyes brightened, it might take him a while to figure out the Demon-Breaking Flame Bullets that go with Messiah,

but having a lower-spec bullet as a substitute would be good too.

He had always felt that Necromantic Spells were somewhat insignificant, as they didn't directly enhance one's strength.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Now, it seems he had underestimated the potential of the Spells.

The value of an Enchanter, those in the know understand.

Xu Yi put away the Tin Toy Doll and started reading a book on Psychology.

Engraving the Necromantic Spells had drained much of his energy, and reading a book helped to relax his mind.

Connecticut wasn't far from New York, and by the afternoon, he finally arrived at his destination.

Xu Yi placed the Tin Toy Doll in the dining cabinet and tapped the table lightly, "Off you go! You only have three days, so do whatever you want to do quickly!"

The Tin Toy Doll didn't need "Soul Sealing," because that step had already been completed before the engraving of the Necromantic Spells; the resentful Cat Spirits had willingly entered the Tin Toy Doll.

The eyeballs of the Tin Toy Doll shifted eerily and it shakily stood up. In the blink of an eye, the doll disappeared within the dining cabinet.

Although the spells on the doll were the most successful he had ever engraved, since he hadn't filled all the Entries, there were bound to be flaws.

The flaws caused the Spells to be unstable; after three days, the resentful Cat Spirits within the Tin Toy Doll would disperse, an irreversible outcome.

Karl hastily got off the train with his luggage in tow, not daring even to glance at Xu Yi as he passed by him.

In a corner unseen by him, a Tin Toy Doll hung on the back of his backpack, swinging left and right, its smile all the more sinister.

"Goodbye, Mr. Xu Yi!" Elsa greeted Xu Yi.

Xu Yi nodded with a smile, acknowledging her.

"A girl who likes cats and smiles shouldn't have too much bad luck... I wish you all the best from now on!"

As Elsa turned to leave, Xu Yi's soft murmur followed her; she paused and then continued on her way.

The train station was bustling with people coming and going. Shortly after Xu Yi disembarked, a man approached him holding a sign bearing his name.

"Are you Mr. Xu Yi? I'm Mr. Warren's assistant, please follow me," the man led Xu Yi to a Cadillac waiting nearby.

Xu Yi nodded and followed.

He had already spoken to Mr. Warren on the phone before coming; otherwise, given the fame of the Warrens, he might not have been able to even see them if he had shown up unannounced.

As a newcomer to the Exorcism World, he certainly didn't have the clout to make the Warrens send a car specially for him—it was due to the consideration for the Lopez family.

The renowned Warrens, were they really like what the Church propagated? Xu Yi would finally have the chance to see for himself.
