Chapter 43: Skills and Missions

Early the next morning, Leon was about to head out to complete his mission when Lady Ember stopped him.

Lady Ember said to Leon, "Can you finish today's mission quickly? There's something that might require everyone's help."

Leon looked at Lady Ember with some surprise but eventually nodded in agreement. After all, she was the one who invited him here, and going on missions was part of his duty.

Seeing Leon agree, Lady Ember breathed a sigh of relief. According to her plan, the missions assigned to Leon and Victor were the most critical. She had been worried about what would happen if they couldn't finish in time.

Now that Leon had agreed, it showed that he was confident he could complete the mission and still participate in the upcoming operation, which moved Lady Ember deeply.

Nodding to Leon, Lady Ember was about to leave but noticed that Leon was fiddling with something that resembled a chicken leg bone.

The bone wasn't very large, about the length of a finger. It had already been fully treated with necromantic spells. At the moment, Leon was just holding it between his fingers, and under his manipulation, the bone was slowly changing from an ashen white to a pale metallic color.

For some reason, whether due to Leon's lack of control or something else, the bone would swell as it turned metallic, eventually exploding.

Every time this happened, Leon would throw away the bone fragments in his hand and pick up another bone to repeat the same process, as if he were practicing something. This practice method was something Leon had discovered from the memories of the soul fragments. By using the most common bones for practice, he could master the technique before switching to the higher-quality bones he intended to use, preventing material waste.

Lady Ember never interfered with anyone's practice, as long as it didn't affect the mission. She also didn't care if someone practiced during the mission itself.

After glancing at Leon, Lady Ember quickly left, while Leon headed outside the base.

In fact, Leon was practicing something taught to him by the fortune-telling old lady. After consulting her, he confirmed that her method could be applied to other bones, not just those with fangs.

This technique involved injecting metal powder or liquid metal into the marrow of bones, then using vibrations to replace the original calcium or chitinous structure with metal from the inside out.

However, the method taught by the old lady was too absolute. The final result would be completely metallic, which didn't suit Leon. He was a shadow-affinity player and planned to follow the necromancer's path.

Fortunately, among the materials Leon had prepared to study, there was also a method that aligned with the old lady's teachings. It was a technique used by necromancers to strengthen the bones they controlled. Through this method, the skeletons under their command would become harder, thicker, and longer, as if the bones were growing.
