NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: Soul abilities and skills....(5)
INCUBATE SKELETON SOLDIER.....
As soon as I ordered a branch started growing out. After the branch stood out, a small potrusion formed out. The small potrusion gradually grew into a fruit and started taking shape.
A count down showed beside the fruit.
00 : 1 HRS : 59 MIN : 59 SEC
INCUBATE SKELETON ARCHER.....
I ordered again and the same process repeated. Some minute differences could be seen in the shape and size of the fruit but other all processess were the same.
The main difference that differentiated skeleton archer from skeleton soldier was the count down that was seen beside the skeleton archer fruit.
00 : 2 HRS : 59 MIN : 59 SEC
I still had 690 mana left which meant that I could even incubate a skeleton rider. Incubating one of each was my plan from the first thus after confirming the abundance of mana I ordered without hesitation.
INCUBATE SKELETON RIDER...
The process of incubating a skeleton rider was similar to the incubating process of skeleton archer and skeleton soldier, the main difference being the ginormous size of skeleton rider fruit . Other notable difference being the count down.
00 : 5 HRS : 59 MIN : 56 SEC
I could have incubated 3 skeleton archers or 5 skeleton soldiers with the amount of mana it took to incubate 1 skeleton rider. Skeleton rider better be worth 6 hours of wait and 600 mana .
Another thing that I learned during the incubation process was that I could see my individual stat by thinking about it aloud in my mind. Now I do not have to summon the whole status window if I want to see specific stats.
MANA .....
MP - 90
I had 90 mana points left. According to my intelligence stat, I had to meditate for 3 hours
to gain 920 mana points. Meaning I had to sacrifice my precious exp point gathering time to focus on restoring mana points.
My eyes kept glancing at the count down on skeleton fruits so I had to do something to keep my mind occupied.
I still had other skills to play with but I lacked mana points for any techniques under bone manipulatiom to be used so I started to studey deathly aura and bone manipulation.
Deathly aura was just the dark invisible fumes that constantly spread out and vanished after it went certain distance far from my body. Deathly aura also helped in gathering more mana points and exp points as well. It was like giving a buff to myself as well.
Necrotic healing was nothing fancy. I smashed a branch few times and let it break halfway only as I wanted to check how necrotic healing worked.
Necrotic healing would condense the deathly aura in the damaged part like putting a cast on a broken limb and using the deathly aura it healed external injuries to a certain degree.
Among all the skills deathly aura was the best. As I was playing with deathly aura, I found out that it could be condensed in certain part of my body and it could show varying effects.
I increased the concentration of deathly aura near the skeleton soldier fruit and suddenly the count down started moving real fast. In the time I concentrated the deathly aura, I could decrease my waiting time by three minutes.
00 : 1 HRS : 46 MIN : 12 SEC
Only if I could could hold it for a while, I could imcubate a skeleton soldier in about 1 hour only. Decreasing by a hour is a great deal but condensing deathly aura seemed to put a lot of strain on my brain.
