Capítulo 1819: Chapter 872: The Power of Money (Part 3)

Many people even before they die, have signed contracts selling their bodies.

Faced with such a situation, even the Komeer Kingdom is helpless, because that was the person’s free will before death, which no one can interfere with.

With the rise of the Necromancer System in the Kingdom of Ser, becoming the foremost mage system, the use of various undead reached a peak state in the Kingdom of Ser.

Not only has their representation in the army increased significantly, but they are also prevalent in some public service sectors.

They hold advantages even greater than slaves, such as greater loyalty, no fatigue, and no need for consumption.

If it weren’t for their lack of intelligence, capable only of repetitive mechanical work, unable to demonstrate prowess in agriculture, the Kingdom of Ser might not need to maintain a large number of slaves, converting them all into undead instead.

The genius thought of using undead for farming has been considered.

But its feasibility is low; the negative energy driving the undead acts as poison to plants, even a slight leak can severely affect the vitality of these crops, causing sickness at best and withering at worst.

To perform specific spirit-binding enchantments on them to prevent any negative energy leakage isn’t impossible, but the cost spikes significantly.

The casting materials required for spirit-binding a Skeleton Soldier would suffice to sustain a slave for half their lifetime in terms of food, drink, and expenses; with such effort, it’s better to rear a few more slaves.

The only viable use of undead in farming is cultivating specialties from the Shadow, Shadow or Negative Energy Plane.

“Don’t chase, be careful, it’s a trap.” Philancy rides a Half-Moon Colt flying beside Gaven, loudly reminding him.

Philancy now only has significantly improved activity time on the Material Plane, but hasn’t completely escaped.

The situation is completely reversed now compared to when she first met Gaven.

She can operate for twenty-five days each month on the Material Plane; her strength ebbs and flows with the moon phases, strongest on the full moon night, then it gradually diminishes, and around the five days before and after the moonless night, she might be pulled back into the Land of Mist.

Regarding spell usage, there are still significant limitations.

For instance, spells related to teleportation, whether it’s the Teleportation Spell or Anywhere Door, she dares not use lightly, as there’s a chance the destination might be modified by the Half-Plane of Fear, pulling her directly back into it.

Once this happens, all previous efforts would be in vain.

Unable to use teleportation spells imposes significant restrictions on a spellcaster, limiting her role on the battlefield.

Just as previously when Gaven battled against a Death Stalker, and those Red Robe Mages provided off-field spell support.

If Philancy could use the Teleportation Spell, she could directly teleport over to cast a Raef’s Woven Mist Lock on the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form, sufficient to absorb all the Meteor Bursts, without needing support from the Air Elemental Mage Tower.

Gaven could only temporarily allocate the Half-Moon Colt for her use.

Luna, however, isn’t as delicate. As long as prior communication and sufficient reasoning are given, she usually doesn’t refuse.

This, compared to the juvenile Red Copper Dragon Aivensa, is incomparable unless money is added.

“Understood.” Gaven nodded knowingly; he had no intention of pursuit.

He knows his own situation; his abilities are now very extreme, and once understood, it’s very easy to be targeted.

Whether the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form is forcibly dispelled or the power of the War Ravager is restricted or sealed, his combat strength plummets suddenly.

And those elite Red Robe Mages typically have such capabilities, who knows if there are other Legendary Red Robe Mages lurking in the shadows, waiting to attack him when he lets his guard down, rushing out from City Defense Maze Lock for a lethal strike.

Never underestimate the capabilities of those Legendary Spellcasters, many tricks may have miraculous effects the first time they’re used in front of them.

But by the second time, this might become your losing moment—they might have already developed ways to counter you.

This is the biggest difference between Gaven and those truly Legendary Spellcasters now.

His true strength hasn’t grown yet, and his abilities lack diversity.

With only a few powerful combat methods, it’s easy to understand his patterns, and many tricks have been used more than once or twice, only the locations and targets have changed, and geographical distance limits the spread of information.

But Gaven believes that as the war in the Eastern Desolation progresses, his control of the Road Divine Power and the power stolen from the Undying Goddess of Vengeance will be difficult to keep secret, even if not known worldwide, those concerned about this war will understand.

This has both advantages and disadvantages.

To gain more followers and acquire more Power of Faith, the wider the spread, the better; this is a crucial condition for converting followers.

If people don’t even know about your abilities, how can they become your followers?

This is an inevitable step and process for development.

The downside is that Gaven can’t use them as aces in the hole anymore, can’t continue accumulating wealth quietly, and will attract countless Voyeurs, never underestimate the world’s enthusiasm for Divine Enthronement.

Holding such unprecedented power is Gaven’s greatest “crime.”

By that time, the enemies at his door won’t be nobodies but indeed significant entities; some might even be ancient monsters that haven’t emerged for a millennium.

Those daring to peep into the Domain of Gods and take action against a possessor of divine power surely aren’t a bunch of mortals, but individuals brimming with confidence.
