Chapter 60 - 60 60 Busy Studying Magic

60: Chapter 60: Busy Studying Magic 60: Chapter 60: Busy Studying Magic After resolving the matter with the villainous corpses in town, things had temporarily come to a halt which allowed her to catch her breath.

She quickly left the town without a moment’s hesitation.

During her stay, she could feel the townspeople’s doubting glances toward her.

Being stared at with such suspicion for long enough could even make her start questioning herself.

If her cover was blown at this time, everything would be utterly ruined.

Hence, it was in her best interest to leave the town as soon as possible, maintaining some distance and preserving the air of mystery surrounding her.

While Violet wasn’t a psychologist, she instinctively felt that by doing this, the distance would make up for her deficits.

Specifically, her deficits in persuading and convincing the townspeople through language.

Getting others to believe in her words was hard, but making them believe their own was much simpler, it’s a basic human instinct.

By creating a distance, the townspeople who had begun to harbor doubts would do their own soul-searching.

The faithful among them would choose to believe in her, the skeptical ones would deny any connection.

At that point, all Violet needed to do was maintain those who began to adopt the faith in the holy light.

The real world can be very simple at times.

When enough people start to believe in something, even something initially non-existent can become existent.

Though this process might take a while, knowing that she had a near-infinite lifespan, waiting wouldn’t be a difficult task.

In the future, she only needed to perform “miracles” occasionally.

Having had enough of playing the charlatan, once she finished what she had to do, she returned to Black Crow Castle and confined herself within its walls.

The task of hunting the magical beasts was assigned to Grian and other experienced hands.

It was important to maintain equilibrium in the inflow and outflow of the Gold Coins as well as their accumulation.

She didn’t join them, however, because she had another, more important task at hand.

As a being with divine combat abilities, bullying mindless beasts felt beneath her.

Moreover, the sweltering jungle was unbearable for Violet.

Black Crow Castle had to be defended by a sufficiently strong force.

Presently, she did not have enough trusted subordinates.

When nearly three-fourths of the mercenary force went hunting, it couldn’t be guaranteed that the Castle would not be ambushed.

If the defense of Black Crow Castle were to fail, it would be an incredibly shameful mishap!

Therefore, she had to stay behind no matter what.

However, she didn’t intend to waste this time.

Instead, she spent it reading the books of this world to familiarize herself with its level of civilization.

Besides, she began to gradually understand her own power.

On one hand, she did so to improve her fighting abilities, on the other, she was seeking to understand her own limits.

In the hard-fought calm between developments, she started to push her control over her powers to its limits, bit by bit.

It was only when she knew her limits could she make more competent decisions!

This was the principle Violet faithfully adhered to when she was working.

Those who didn’t know their power limits would forever remain ignorant.

Therefore, she accelerated the speed at which she could summon Undead Skeletons.

There was something inexplicably attractive about the Undead Puppets, the tireless beings, for Violet.

They were way more magnetizing than the Elemental Creatures.

Being self-sufficient for sustenance and breathing, the Undead Puppets only needed enough magical power to summon from a different world.

After some considerable weaponization, they could become formidable combatants.

If she could amass enough of them, wouldn’t she effectively turn into an army by herself?

During her repeated summonings, Violet would shut the doors of the grand castle hall, not to prevent others from prying but rather to avoid giving them a heart attack.

Imagine people peering inside only to see hundreds of Undead standing motionlessly, lined up neatly inside the hall.

It could make anyone short-circuit!

Through repeated trial and error, Violet gradually discovered the limit to the number of undead she could summon.

Even though her magical powers were sealed, Violet, with her psychic abilities near divine levels, didn’t feel pressurized even when dealing with hundreds of Undead.

In fact, she could summon thousands more and still control them effortlessly.

The real problem was the magical power supply.

She could keep summoning as long as there was enough magical energy.

Among all the beings she could summon, the Sixth Tier Skeleton was the highest in level.

But it also consumed one percent of her total magic reserve in a split second.

If she only summoned Sixth Tier Skeleton Monsters, at most, she could summon around eighty, conservatively estimating.

The remaining magical power had to be preserved for emergencies.

The lower the level of the undead, the weaker and more fragile it became.

However, the same amount of magical power that was used to summon one Sixth Tier Undead could be used to summon a hundred First-Order Undead.

Even though these fragile First-Order Undead might struggle to even walk and any adult could easily shatter them into pieces…

If they were mixed with the extremely powerful Sixth Tier Skeleton Monsters, it would certainly result in a terrifying destructive force.

This was the best solution Violet found through repeated experiments.

It’s possible for a single kind of undead, although mighty and capable of overpowering ordinary and slightly stronger warriors.

But who could guarantee that there were no forces stronger than magic in this world?

Blind arrogance could lead one into dangerous situations and its presence was a mistake in itself, even the initiation of failure!

That would not be good.

When everything falls apart, when things get to a point where they’re beyond repair, it’s all too late.

While she was studying the quantity of undead she could summon, she expended an astonishing amount of magic.

Even with her unique physiology, it would take some time to recuperate the magic.

During the long and boring wait, Violet took out a pen and paper and earnestly started drafting the doctrine of the Church of Holy Light.

In another world, Violet was not a follower of any religion.

She always kept her distance from deities and specters.

So when it was her turn to play the sham charlatan, Violet always felt a bit out of her element.
