Chapter: 571
<[Host – Level 1]>
– Project your mind into your own constructs
– Control them as if they are your own body
– 1,000 meters maximum projection distance (0.6 mi)
– 5 Mana per second. Doubles for every 500 meters projected.
“Awesome. Pretty heavy mana usage but I’m sure they will all be useful.” Jay thought.
He could already imagine marking a gold coin to find out where a treasury might be hidden, or marking that brat Matheson to one day execute divine justice.
Sure, it would lower his mana pool, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
As for mind and host, Jay decided to try the latter immediately as he pictured Red and used the skill.
Immediately, everything went black and he felt a sense of weightlessness – then suddenly the world reappeared again from Red’s perspective.
To his surprise, everything was black, white and different shades of grey; there was no colour at all.
The next thing that stood out was that there were no shadows. Instead of the pitch-black corners of the pyramid, they appeared as simply being dark.
“Must be the shade vision skill of the skeletons.” Jay said – but all that came out was a chattering clicking sound from his skeleton jaw moving.
Jay turned around to look at his body, and realised he made a mistake. His nose was bleeding and his ass was sticking in the air after he face planted.
“Dammit…” he thought as he went to walk over to prop his body up.
As he took the first step however, he ended up jumping instead, almost landing on his own body.
It was at this point that he started feeling dizzy – his mana had been draining all this time and suddenly he was sent back into his body.
“Ouch.” Jay wiped some dirt off his face and ignored the pain.
“Quite an interesting skill…” he smiled, “now I can fight with them till death.”
“I’ll definitely need a much larger mana pool though.”
Jay immediately opened up his level-up notification and was greeted by five attribute points and one skill point.
Of course, he proceeded to put all his attribute points into energy, raising it to 80.
Since Jay checked his class recently, he now realised that levelling up gave him one HP, two MP, and one point of energy gave him two MP; this resulted in his mana pool jumping from 68 to 80.
Next, he decided where to put his attribute point – but now that he discovered that the skeletons could have roles, he only wanted to discover more of them, so he opted to add it to his [Raise Feeble Creature] skill.
He did consider adding it to [Undead Mastery], however the majority of the skeletons weren’t even level four yet, so he would hold off on it for now.
