It's going to be dark.

The sky over the royal capital was cloudy, and the cold wind blew.

The icy and violent showers fell without warning.

Even if it is already the beginning of spring, it is rare for such a heavy and rapid rain to occur. The smell of earth mixed with the rain made you feel the smell of corpses, and the sound of the rain hitting the buildings was even more disturbing.

Even if you have encountered something good and excited, you will become gloomy and irritable because of this sudden rainstorm.

Presumably some people will complain that this rain came too suddenly-

And that's exactly what happened.

Just being exposed to that rain can make your mood worse...... In other words, it will synchronize its mood to the caster.

- Because this is the signature spell of "Dream Stealer" Denton, the "mind like rain" of the Soul Reaver School.

"The Purest Medium......

The gray-haired old man muttered in a low voice as he looked at the heavy rain outside.

His ice-blue pupils were as calm as water, and just looking at him was reassuring.

Denton was now stroking the wall, staring intently at the wall in front of him. It was as if he could see the man beyond the palace through the walls.

He wasn't a hunter and certainly didn't have the vision to be able to penetrate walls.

But for Denton, the rain in the city was his eyes—

If you can look at it in a soul state, you can see a sky-like ice blue light on Denton's head, straight to the sky.

The dark clouds were pierced by that pillar of light, like opening a pair of cold, emotionless eyes, looking at the earth.

And under the dark clouds, hundreds, thousands of faint silver threads fell with the raindrops, and even on the heads of the royal guards.

Without receiving an order, they directly held their weapons and rushed to the side hall where the fourth prince was.

This was followed by the slightly more remote Transcendental troops.

Then there are the stealthy troops that have gathered from all directions.

Those who were exposed to the rain came at the same moment, silently.

The underside of their pupils shimmered with a pale glow of ice blue.

- This is the trace of being affected by the Soul Snatcher Spell [Full Control] that is standard at the Gold Tier.

Whether it is a mortal, a ritual master, or a transcendent, as long as they are hit by full control and do not pass the will immunity test, they will directly lose control of their bodies.

Unlike the Silver Tier's [Manipulating Hearts] aura, [Full Control] does not need to look directly into the opponent's eyes...... As long as an object or sound is used as a medium, you can take away the will of the other person out of thin air.

As long as the medium is not interrupted, even if the other person is far away, the state will not be lifted.

And Denton can also feel the state of these "zombies" controlled by himself, and control them at any time with precision to the individual and the action.

At any time, pull the one who is in a slightly worse state to the rear, and push the one who is still in good health to the front; Let the strong ordinary people be responsible for resisting the attacks of the evil spirits, and let the transcendents work together to kill the evil spirits in the rear.

They certainly couldn't see where the dead were.

— but Denton can.

Through the spell "Thoughts Like Rain", he shared everything he saw with many puppets who had robbed him of their minds. Let them see the location of the dead spirits as well...... And concentrate fire to attack.

In the face of the threat of death, people can be timid, angry, and crazy - but compared to those who can burst into full potential in the face of death crisis, the vast majority of people have no room for command, tactics and calmness in the face of death crisis.

However, for a Soul Reaver, this is not a problem at all.

It wasn't his body.

These are not his lives.

What he controls, modifies, and discards is nothing more than "others".

The wizards of the Soul Revenator School have the highest requirements for moral standards.

Because for them, the "human heart" is just something that can be reached, something that they don't need to care about or pay attention to.

- Just modify it.

The will of others, the feelings of others, the memories of others - in addition to the quick-acting spells used in battle, the School of Soul Reavers also has spells that subtly change the will of others.

It's like a player with a console password in their hands.

Even from the very beginning, I knew that just pressing that wave key would halve the fun...... Occasionally, I can't control myself when my anger is rising.

And the "Purest Medium" in front of him is another direction of the Soul Snatcher School. In ancient times, he was known as a "necromancer" and manipulated the souls of others at will.

The reason why different transcendents can come together to form a "school" is because they have something in common and a core idea that can be understood by everyone.

Just as the core idea of the transformation school is "to create nothing......

- The core and essence of the Soul Snatcher School is "all for me".

Whether it is the manipulation of the spirit and will, or the manipulation of the souls of the living and the dead, it is the act of using others as pawns at will.

But they eventually split.

There is no other reason for this...... Even if the will is forcibly stolen, it can be broken free at any moment; As long as the will is strong enough, the controlled person can take back control of his body at any time, and at most he will not rest until death.

Necromancers are different.

Spirits cannot resist necromancers.

They have only two options: to be controlled smoothly or to fail, and once they are controlled, they are permanent - to be enslaved to fight or killed, to be used as ritual material.

And mortals can't even see spirits. The attack of being pulled out by the necromancer is also irresistible for most of the living.

The result......

Compared to the Soul Reaver Wizard, who can quietly twist the mind, people are more afraid and disgusted with the Necromancer.

This jealousy is based on the absoluteness of his "irresistibility".

And the same shaman, who pursues the core concept of "all for one", can grow, learn, and communicate with the living, who is far better than the dead.

external suppression, internal exclusion, and plundering of resources......

As a result, the necromancer is extinct.

The "Purest Medium" Bernardino Teleshaw is the last gold-level necromancer of this era. He is also the only necromancer who knows how to summon spirits from corpses that have been dead for more than 100 years, how to summon spirits from the void, how to pull out the spirits of the living intact, and how to let spirits attach to themselves and be blessed.

- His death will represent the complete severance of the necromancer's lineage.

Denton, of course, knew about it.

It's not just the "purest medium."

He himself is a dark wizard who has been excluded from the righteous path.

Official Soul Revenators are usually based on memory operations. They can make others forget a certain memory, or let someone quickly learn a certain skill or spell, or they can simulate a consciousness space that can die indefinitely, or forcibly interfere with other people's nightmares and rush in to rescue them.

The Soul Snatcher School is a very important school of wizards.

It is precisely because they can easily change the minds of others that they care about honor and morality.

And "Dream Stealer" Denton is different.

Under the pretext of helping others treat mental illness, he quietly steals other people's skills and privacy. Soon he became a veritable all-rounder, and used the memories he gained from the minds of others to target his original owner, grabbing a great deal of wealth and a high status under different and plural false identities.

So far, his actions have not been discovered.

Or they were acquiesced in by the high-ranking wizards.

He was wanted because he was psychologically treating one of the heirs to the crown in the United Kingdom...... After taking away all of his memories, kill him directly and destroy his body.

He uses the rituals he learns from the minds of others to play two people at the same time - eventually disguising the other person as himself, leaving the "Dream Stealer" from the royal capital and using this as an opportunity to directly replace the heir.

In the end, when he was still plotting to seize the throne to the end, he was personally corrected by the unbearable Yaon himself - no one had doubted him before that.

So his act of stealing the country was wanted by five countries at the same time.

It can be said that ......

The "Dream Stealer" and the "Purest Medium" are the spokesmen of the two paths of the Soul Reaver.

- It is also a typical example of two unforgivable sins, using soul-snatching spells to their advantage.

That's why......

Even the eyes of the royal capital were focused.

But there was no one to stop the battle between them.

I try to finish writing before I go to sleep!
