nAfter a while, Heinz chased him away as he was told that he needed to rest for two or maybe three days before he can start learning Dark Spells.

nAccording to Heinz, the consumption of the potion did some internal damage to his body and he needs to recover first.

nHe was also told that he can only select his second first-tier Dark Spell in the book titled the Great Dark Spells.

nThis made Kyle a bit disappointed. He already thought of Dark Spells he wanted to learn based on the books he read but in the end, he can only select one of them and the other is already set by Heinz.

n‘Just what kind of original spell was that? Why does it require so much space?’ Kyle grumbled as he read the book in his room.

nAll the first-tier and second-tier Dark Spell requires only a single slot to be recorded. As for the third-tier spells, there were no records of them in the books at all.

n“Tsk… I can’t select a better Dark Spell this way. I have to know what kind of original Dark Spell I’ll be learning first.”

nSince he only has a chance to learn two Dark Spells if he wanted to attend the academy, he has to choose carefully.

nHe read the book regarding the Dark Spells and found a few decent ones. Just like some of the games he had played in his previous life, the Spells can be categorized as those that are meant for offense, defense, support, or special ones that can be a combination of other types.

nIf the original Dark Spell he was about to get from Mr. Heinz is a defensive type, he was thinking of getting an offensive type Dark Spell to match it properly.

nNevertheless, it would be better if it’s a special type since it can be a combination of offense and defense, or even support and offensive spells.

nAfter deliberating for a long time, he listed five Dark Spells that may be useful for him.

nThey were Ghost Hand and Dead Heart for his support-type Dark spells.

nGhost Hand allows him to create another invisible hand around him. Once he learned it, he can control it within the range of his magic zone. Furthermore, the number of hands can increase as his mastery increases. The only downside is that it can’t be relied on for offensive purposes like strangling someone within his range. It has weak ‘durability’ and can easily be shattered by other spellcasters.

n‘Well, it can probably carry a gun…’ Kyle mused. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚

nAs for Dead Heart, it’s a very popular Dark Spell since it allows the body to function even if the heart has been injured or even shattered. It doesn’t mean that the heart is no longer needed once it was learned. However, the Dead Heart made of Dark Spell can temporarily save the practitioner so he can flee from the enemies or wait until medical treatment is available.

nThere are some flaws about it but it is still a decent assurance to many practitioners.

n“Hmm… I think Ghost Hand is good. It’s not like I’m going to die inside the Academy while learning spells. If I’m going to go out, perhaps Dead Heart is a must-learn spell.” Kyle commented as he looked at the other choices in the list he made.

nAmong the offensive Dark Spells in the book he read, he found that Curses were quite impressive since they can be untraceable with enough preparations.

nOf course, he didn’t select the Ritual Curses that require a ceremony. Instead, he listed the Curses that can be casted easily as long as they’re inside his magic zone.

nOne of them was called Ghastly Ailment which gives several illnesses to the target making them weak or vulnerable and the other is Flesh Bane which rots one’s flesh…

nKyle circled the Flesh Bane in his notes as he felt that this ability might be really good but it has some problems. It targets a whole area instead of a single person.

nIt may be good if he fights alone against many but it is a disaster if it’s a group battle. 𝙡𝒃𝙖.𝙘𝒎

nAs for the last Dark Spell that he listed, it is a special type.

nIt can be used as a defense spell but depending on the user, it can be used as an offensive type as well… It’s called Gloves of Contagion.

n“This looks good… But it requires a high-level mastery to be useful.” Kyle paused for a moment as he stared at his notes.

n“Since I will have a peaceful time for a year, I should have some time to master it.” He muttered.

nThis spell summons a glove in one of your hands that can absorb attack spells. If successfully caught, you can return it to the caster. The only problem is that if the mastery of your skill is lower than the attack you received, it can be dangerous since you’re catching it with your hands.

nAt this moment, Kyle closed his book as he decided not to waste his time and read the book regarding the Mystical Items.

n***

nThree days had quickly passed and during this time, no new corpses has arrived in the laboratory. He even asked Mr. Heinz to let him see the corpses if there was any delivery.

nHeinz found it quite weird but he didn’t question Kyle since it might be his hobby so he decided not to interfere.

nToday, Mr. Heinz brought Kyle to the basement of the facility. The entry to not too far from the laboratory.

nAt first, Kyle didn’t think too much of the basement but as soon as he entered, he couldn’t help but gasp.

n“Incredible… How is this even built?” Kyle was awed as soon as he saw the place. He didn’t expect that there is actually a massive and empty hall below them all this time. It was a bit dark so it was giving him a vibe that it was a mausoleum…

nHeinz just smiled as he flicked his finger. This time, several stones glowed from the pillars of the hall lighting up the place.

n“Alright… I will help you form the spell… Enter your Phantasm State.”
