Chapter 574: Chapter 443 Unexpected Surprise_2

Some attacks are immune, and there are also true damages. A high amount of damage reduction can offset some of the true damage, but there will inevitably be some true damage that exceeds the reduction, so a certain level of health is needed,"

Fire Dragon glanced at Zheng Yichen, "You should be qualified in all these aspects. As for magic, if I teach you, can you learn it?"

"Tsk, I thought I might get some useful information from you, but that’s it?"

Fire Dragon snorted, "I’m a fire dragon, not some spectral dragon. What use would it be to ask me? Plus, you’ll have an easy time in that world."

Thinking of the abnormal powers Zheng Yichen possessed, Fire Dragon vigorously shook his head internally. In the underworld, time met a person bestowed with underworld powers, and the strange occurrences produced by the spiritual influence on reality would probably not be too severe.

"You’re too cautious. Whether it’s your flames or some other power, you’ll just walk sideways over there!" Fire Dragon stated with certainty.

"Being a bit cautious is better, just so you don’t crash and lose your chance for revenge."

"..." Fire Dragon fell silent for a moment. He hesitated, then started rummaging through his room, eventually producing a scale, "I know some Evil Spirit related rituals, don’t worry, they’re all fakes. Although some Evil Spirits can fight against True Gods, they’re as rare as Godslayers appearing among men, a low-probability event; most are rubbish that I can kill with a breath of fire."

"Even though they’re rubbish, and some casters specifically create such things for their experiments, there are also a few who mess up by accident. It’s like playing the lottery, occasionally hitting the jackpot."

"This approach, in my world, is like the addictive ’laundry powder’ in this world – hard to eradicate yet disreputable. In the world you mentioned, it could have a more unique effect. Just be careful when you need to use it."

The scale bore the engraved magic ritual, and Fire Dragon explained to Zheng Yichen in detail about the origins of this magic. It derived from the legitimate summoning magic in his world, where summoning magic didn’t require signing contracts with magical beasts before summoning them.

That’s only one part of it.

There were Elemental Summonings, Soul Summonings, and so on; the former summoned unique elemental creatures, while the latter summoned entities similar to ’Heroic Spirits.’

The Evil Spirit ritual originated from the Soul Summoning within summoning magic, and well, summoning powerful ’Heroic Spirits’ isn’t just lip service. First off, such mighty souls often belong to someone, many are under the control of the True God of the Death Domain, and others are kept by different True Gods.

They are the subordinates of True Gods.

If related by blood, one might be able to summon their ancestors. Without such a connection, it’s either about luck or trying to foster good relationships with certain True Gods or their subordinates.

But either way, that’s not easy, especially without any powerful ancestors to speak of. Thus, some summoners opt for a crooked path; if it’s hard to summon stronger ’Heroic Spirits,’ why not create some themselves?

Among these summoners who chose such unconventional magic, some found their way back to righteousness, while others continued down the dark path. The former managed to create normal beings – similar to gods but distinctly different.

To grow stronger, they would need to absorb power similar to faith, like receiving sincere gratitude from someone they helped, drawing upon the positive emotional power naturally offered by living beings, which isn’t exactly the same as true faith.

The God-type beings keep a blind eye over this matter. The True Gods of Fire Dragon’s world don’t have a huge demand for faith; it’s somewhat useful to them, acting mainly as currency and not deeply tied to their power, and they also don’t reject faith entirely – after all, money is an object but can be useful to throw at someone.

Among those ’Heroic Spirits’ cultivated by some shady summoners, some have potential. Once they grow, some True Gods, upon finding suitable ones, might even offer them positions.

The other variety that turned to the dark side are the ’Evil Spirits.’ They can grow quickly by absorbing fear and blood, which are all too easily created.

Fire Dragon tossed the scale to Zheng Yichen, "That’s pretty much it. Don’t pay too much attention to this stuff. Most of this is junk, but what’s crucial is the Control Contract!"

The scale had two sides: one side held the normal ’Heroic Spirit’ ritual, and the other, the abnormal ’Evil Spirit’ ritual.

"I’m not too familiar with this stuff, but who am I to complain—I’m a dragon, right? This is the best summoning ritual I know. It’s okay if you can’t use it; just take it back and have those two witches in your family study it."

"Let me emphasize again, don’t get too hopeful about this. Out of all the special summoning magic rituals, there haven’t been many summoners who’ve truly grown strong through it since I was young, not even one in ten thousand ’spirits’ has potential!"

"And this thing has a high failure rate, and most of what it produces lacks self-awareness, only instinct. Just focus on the part about controlling the summoned entity, if there’s really some nefarious presence in that world that surfaces because of your mental influence, its nature might resemble that of a summoned entity, and this could come in handy."
