Leo spoke in a gentle tone.
If it weren't for the long trail of blood still clearly visible from the longsword formed by his magical hand, Leo would probably be considered a good-tempered person.
Now, seeing Leo's appearance and hearing his words, the wizard apprentices present felt nothing but fear and dread.
Sephir lowered his head, not daring to disobey Leo.
His pride as a genius vanished completely at that moment.
In Leo's presence, he was like a newborn baby.
Even so, Sephir's mind raced with madness:
The wizard Nova was wrong after all!
A powerful wizard doesn't need to be versed in a wide variety of spells and abilities, but rather to possess the strength to overcome all obstacles. Specialize in a single spell, and thus become as powerful as Leo.
Thinking this, Sephir slowly raised his head, staring intently at Leo's retreating figure, and thought to himself: Leo, I've lost again this time. But I've found the right path. Next time we meet, I'll show you that geniuses are not to be trifled with!
No one knows what's going on in Sephiroth's mind.
However, even if they knew, most wizards would not be surprised.
Wizards are all somewhat paranoid.
Especially when it comes to one's own research.
When other wizards put forward arguments that differ from their own research direction, even if that wizard is a well-known genius, some wizards will still stubbornly believe that the mistake lies not with themselves but with the other party.
Kyle has a very precise grasp of how to be stubborn.
Leo looked at Kyle again and said, "Kyle the Wizard, although I won this battle, you also showed me the power of necromancy. I'm afraid that apart from me, no other wizard present could defeat you."
"I happen to be somewhat interested in necromancy. I wonder if you could answer some of my questions about necromancy spells."
Kyle said, "Please...please ask, and I promise to answer to the best of my knowledge."
Looking at the miserable state of Virdan and Kendia, Kyle was terrified that if he gave the wrong answer, Leo would chop off his hands and feet.
Seeing that Kyle was willing to cooperate, Leo nodded in satisfaction.
"First, I'd like to know if this spell, which controls the corpses of other wizarding apprentices, is a combination spell?"
"That's right."
Leo said, "I've also been exposed to necromancy. But I've never heard of spells that manipulate corpses like this, allowing them to maintain such a high degree of communication ability similar to that of living people... What did you use as a medium to make these corpses act like humans? They can even think for themselves, and they have emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. This is completely unlike corpses controlled by ordinary necromancy spells."
"Could it be that your magic has given these corpses a sense of self?"
At this moment, Banville, who had already lost his will to fight, also subconsciously looked over.
Upon hearing Leo's question about the magic of manipulating wizard corpses, he looked at Kyle with a sliver of hope.
Banville hoped to hear any answer from Kyle about resurrecting Anna and the other three.
He hoped to hear from Kyle that Anna and the others acted out of their own volition, rather than as part of a grand scheme orchestrated by Kyle.
Kyle looked surprised when he heard Leo say that.
He hadn't expected that the question Leo raised was the kind of question only a wizard with a deep understanding of necromancy could ask.
Kyle said, "Of course not. If these corpses I control could develop their own minds, then I wouldn't be a wizarding apprentice anymore, but a full-fledged wizard."
"I simply controlled the corpses and made them mimic their usual actions."
Upon hearing this, Kyle clapped his hands.
Anna's sorceress corpse came before him.
Anna's expressions at this moment were incredibly vivid.
Her eyes were filled with panic and unease as she said, "It's so dangerous here. I hope the wizard Banville is alright."
Anna's vivid performance sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Because Anna at this moment is so lifelike that it's impossible to imagine that she is actually a corpse.
Kyle said, "You see, like this. She looks exactly like a living person, but she's actually completely different. She's just mimicking the actions of a living person."
"Whether it's her showing affection for the wizard Banville or the personality traits she inadvertently reveals, these are all illusions created through magic. In reality, she is simply simulating the way she spoke and acted when she was alive, using her body's memories."
"This witch was a vain person before I killed her. I was just using this method to let her fully express her true actions and nature."
"And then there's her boyfriend, gentle and accommodating to his girlfriend—these are all traits he naturally possessed. I used magic to recreate this existing relationship."
Every word Kyle said felt like a bullet to Banville's heart, filling him with disbelief and despair.
Banville said incredulously, "Are you saying that whether they see me as a friend, are worried about me, or have any other positive emotions, it's all just the actions of a bunch of dead people imitating each other?"
Kyle didn't answer, or rather, he couldn't be bothered to answer Banville.
Banville was not qualified to ask him to answer.
The only person he needed to answer was Leo.
Leo was equally uninterested in what Banville was saying. He asked, "Wizard Kyle, according to you, what is the medium you use for your spells?"
Kyle said, "It's human emotion." Of course, strictly speaking, it's not about vague notions like the interpersonal relationships, spirit, or will that form between people.
"Wizard Leo, are you familiar with flesh-and-blood magic?"
Leo shook his head.
Kyle said, "Then I suggest you take a closer look at flesh magic. My spell is a combination of necromancy and flesh magic."
"There is a research direction in flesh and blood studies that is that human emotions are actually born from certain substances secreted within the body."
"Flesh and Blood magic can manipulate human emotions by using these substances as a medium. The combination spell I'm casting utilizes this medium."
Leo's heart skipped a beat.
Regarding the area of flesh and blood research that Kyle mentioned, Leo had indeed encountered a similar situation before.
Just before the ship set sail, during the party, the wizard Kindley used magic to manipulate the emotions of the other people, making them excited and agitated.
As for the internal secretions that manipulate emotions, there was a similar concept in Leo's previous life.
As these thoughts raced through Leo's mind, a notification sound appeared in his head.
