Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

"Lu Ming, thank you for saving me again."

Arya raised her head slightly and thanked Lu Ming.

Lu Ming smiled and comforted her: "Ailiya, don't take it to heart. We are friends now and should help each other." "Just friends?" Arya felt a little happy and a little disappointed.

She stood up slowly and straightened her messy clothes, as if she wanted to leave here as soon as possible to avoid more embarrassment.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ming sighed. Thinking about the kiss they had just had, he decided to be a good person and give her a ride.

Under Lu Ming's escort, the two crossed the valley and returned to the town.

As the top power in the magical continent, the Charles family has chambers of commerce spread all over the place. The city where the Halls School of Magic is located is no exception and they also have branches.

Lu Ming sent Alia to the door of the Chamber of Commerce and watched her enter safely before returning to school with peace of mind.

"Alia, make sure to have a good rest when you get home. Contact me if you have any questions." Lu Ming reminded her. Alia nodded, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Lu Ming, I will. Take care of yourself too."

The two smiled at each other. Although there was not much verbal communication, as the relationship between the two developed in the canyon, they unknowingly developed a tacit understanding and trust between each other.

After separating from Alia, Lu Ming returned to the college dormitory and continued to devote himself to studying the formations and secret techniques of the foundation-building realm.

Although he has thoroughly studied most of the formations, due to the defects of artificial magic stones, they cannot be completely resolved at present, resulting in the inability to arrange certain specific formations.

Faced with this bottleneck, Lu Ming did not become discouraged, but instead turned his attention to the study of the demon clan's secret techniques, especially those technologies that could make up for the existing shortcomings.

"It seems that I need to find a new breakthrough point." Lu Ming muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with thought, "The secret techniques of the demon clan, especially the techniques of refining demon heads, may open a new door for me."

After careful consideration, he decided to refine a demon first.

The method of making a demon head is unique. It requires the soul of a human or other creature as the material. Through the taming of demonic energy, the original consciousness and emotions are erased, and it is transformed into a puppet that completely obeys orders.

The biggest feature of the demon is its soul state. It can easily pass through walls or other physical obstacles, and its movements are extremely covert. It is very suitable for monitoring and spying on the enemy's whereabouts. It is a powerful tool for intelligence gathering and strategic deployment.

Lu Ming thought of the time when he rescued Elena in the back mountain of the academy, killed Darien, and collected his soul.

Originally, he planned to refine Darien's soul into a low-level ghost, but later because he was busy with other matters, the matter was temporarily shelved and the soul was kept in his space ring.

Now, this happens to be the best material for refining demons.

"Darian, I will use your soul." Lu Ming said softly to the space ring, with a flash of determination in his eyes, "I hope you can find peace in another world."

Lu Ming took out Darien's soul from the space ring and began the refining process.

He must first purify his soul, removing impurities and remaining fragments of consciousness.

This is a complex and delicate job that requires a high degree of mental concentration and precise control of magic power.

"Soul purification, begin." Lu Ming whispered, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, focused all his attention on his soul, and slowly released pure demonic energy, like a spring breeze, peeling off the dirt on the surface of the soul bit by bit.

Next is the soul reshaping stage. Lu Ming must transform the soul's structure without destroying its essence so that it can withstand the infusion of demonic energy without collapsing.

"Reshape the soul, reshape the destiny." Lu Ming chanted softly, carefully guiding the demonic energy, like a sculptor carving marble, reshaping the shape of the soul to make it better suit the demon's structural needs.

When the soul's reshaping was completed, Lu Ming began to inject demonic energy, which was the most critical step in refining the demon.

"Inject demonic energy, fuse the soul." Lu Ming chanted the spell, mobilized the magic power in his body, and slowly injected the demonic energy into the soul. At the same time, he constantly adjusted the properties of the demonic energy so that it could achieve perfect fusion with the soul.

With the continuous infusion of demonic energy, Darien's soul began to undergo significant changes. The originally vague soul outline gradually became clear, emitting a dim light.

Lu Ming continued to inject the demonic energy until his soul was completely covered by the demonic energy, forming a stable prototype of a demon head.

"Tame the demon and erase its consciousness." Lu Ming cast a series of complex spells, placing the demon in a closed magic field. Through the guidance of the spells, he gradually erased its remaining consciousness until the demon completely became an empty shell, retaining only the most basic instinct of obedience.

The entire refining process took a long time, and Lu Ming almost put in all his mental and physical energy.

But when he saw that Darien's soul had completely transformed into a demon who completely obeyed his orders, all his efforts became worthwhile. He whispered to himself: "Darian, your soul will be used by me. I hope you can understand that this is also a kind of relief for you."

This demon can not only pass through walls, but also has preliminary perception and analysis capabilities, which will become an important tool for him to obtain intelligence.

The success of refining the demon head not only provided Lu Ming with a new strategic means, but also marked a key step in his research on the secret arts of the demon clan.

After successfully refining the demon head, Lu Ming couldn't wait to test its ability.

As night falls, the entire campus is shrouded in a veil of mystery. It is the best time to conduct the first test.

The night not only provided cover for his experiments, but also added a sense of mystery and security.

Lu Ming concentrated his mind and attached his mental power to the demon, as if extending his own senses, and was able to see everything from the demon's perspective.

Under Lu Ming's control, the demon turned into a ball of black gas and silently passed through the wall of the dormitory and came outside.

It walked around the boys' dormitory, getting familiar with the environment and adapting to its new form.

After getting used to it, an idea suddenly came to Lu Ming's mind - he wanted to see what Elena was doing now.

So, he commanded the demon to sneak into the girls' dormitory quietly and came to Elena's room quietly.

At this moment, Elena was wearing a thin nightgown, lying on the bed, staring out the window in a daze.

The moonlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and falls on her face, adding a touch of soft beauty to her.

There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes, as if she was missing someone far away.

Lu Ming saw everything clearly through the demon's perspective. Elena whispered softly, "I don't know what the master is doing now. I hope everything goes well for him."

These simple words were filled with concern and longing for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming saw all of this. Looking at this innocent and kind-hearted girl, a warm feeling surged in his heart and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just as he was about to continue exploring to see if there were other interesting things in the girls' dormitory, he suddenly felt weak.

It turns out that controlling the demon requires a lot of mental energy, and the longer the distance, the greater the consumption.

At Lu Ming's current level, it is obviously beyond his ability to maintain such a high-intensity mental connection for a long time.

Realizing this, Lu Ming decisively took back the demon head and let it return to his side.

Although the initial test was not satisfying, this experience gave him a deeper understanding of the demon's abilities and a more accurate assessment of his own mental strength.

He knew that in order to fully utilize the power of the demon, he not only needed to increase his mental energy reserves, but also needed to control the consumption of mental energy more accurately to avoid excessive use that would lead to his own weakness.

Although this brief exploration failed to satisfy Lu Ming's curiosity, it allowed him to gain valuable experience.

He understood that every use of power requires a corresponding price.

In the future, he will use the demon head more carefully, not only to obtain intelligence, but also to protect himself and those around him.

……

After a night's rest, Lu Ming got up early the next morning to practice.

At this moment, he was full of energy, and the mental strength consumed in controlling the demon last night had been fully recovered.

After experiencing the magical effect of the demon head, a plan came to his mind - he planned to collect more souls and refine more demon heads in case of emergency.

After all, one more demon means one more force, which might come in handy someday.

In order not to waste time, he quickly left the academy and came to the valley where he saved Arya yesterday.

This is where the battle took place yesterday. It was here that Lu Ming killed the enemy who was chasing Arya.

These four enemies are a senior magician, a mid-level magician, and two mid-level knights.

Since they died not long ago, their bodies are still here and have not been completely eaten by nearby wild beasts.

Lu Ming secretly felt fortunate in his heart that these enemies were very powerful when they were alive. If their souls were used to refine a demon, it would surely be possible to refine a more powerful demon.

He activated his demonic energy and began to absorb souls from the corpses.

This process is quite complicated and requires precise control of magic and a deep understanding of the soul.

Lu Ming slowly infiltrated the demonic energy into the corpse, searching for the soul fragments hidden within.

Perhaps because the death took a little longer, the soul could not be taken in time, and the soul of one of the knights had dissipated into the air.

The souls of two magicians and one knight remain.

But after a night, they seemed quite weak, as if they could dissipate at any time.

The three souls looked at Lu Ming in fear and tried to break free from his control, but ultimately failed.

Lu Ming sneered and summoned skeleton warriors to guard nearby to ensure that there would be no interference from the outside world.

Then, he controlled the demon head to patrol the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no traces of other people, he began the process of refining the demon head in the canyon.

With the experience of the first success, Lu Ming seemed more skilled this time and operated it more easily.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the struggle of their souls, Lu Ming used magic energy to wipe out their consciousness, trying to transform them into demons who would completely obey his orders.

However, the refining process was not smooth sailing.

When it was about to succeed, only the soul of the senior magician was transformed into a demon, while the remaining two souls, because they were too weak, ultimately failed to successfully transform into demons, but turned into ashes and disappeared completely into the air.

Although he only successfully refined one demon head, the strength of this demon head far exceeded the one refined yesterday, which made Lu Ming feel quite satisfied.

He knew very well that the process of refining a demon was full of uncertainties. The strength of the soul, the length of time since death, and even the refiner's magical control would all affect the final result.

This success undoubtedly provided him with valuable experience and confidence in refining demon heads in the future.

Lu Ming put away the newly refined demon head and already had a plan for his next step in mind.

He understood that in order to obtain more powerful demons, he would need to collect more powerful souls.

To do this, he needs to study soul science and demon secrets more deeply, improve his magic control and mental strength, so as to deal with more complex and dangerous situations.

Just when Lu Ming put away the demon head and the skeleton and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a figure emitting a dark magical aura fell from the sky and blocked his way.

Judging from his aura, he is at least a great magician.

Lu Ming suddenly became nervous.
