Chapter 880 First Contract Undead P2
"So Sin Series Abilities work on intent-driven magic.
Wrath mana and lust mana are just mana with pure intent. I wonder if I can also create something like that with my soul sense.
If integrating intentions into spells and Abilities is possible, what would it take to integrate the intent into the very core of the mana itself?"
Eren posed another question to Alephee, which she answered right away.
"Only after reaching a certain milestone in their ranking journey can rankers birth mana with their own intent seeped into them. It is not something one can do just by having an awakened soul sense.
The spells or Abilities that are powered by such personalized mana would be so much different than the rudimentary concepts of using magic. But doing something like this is like rebelling against the world you are currently living in. Plus, when mana contains pure intent, it can't be used by anyone.
The Sin Series mana that you summon for your Abilities requires a form of a binding contract for the same reason. It's like you are using someone's personal property without their consent."
Eren placed his right hand on his heart and felt his heartbeat all of a sudden. He was reminded of the runic chains his heart was bound with when he first started using the Sin Series Abilities. He didn't understand the procedure at that time. So it could be said that another of his long-pending questions was answered by Alephee.
The homunculus carried on with her speech as the butcher was seemingly lost in his thoughts.
"Creating mana with individual intent is not something you can do with your current powers at this point. However, the things I said just now will help you get the full potential out of your necromancer powers.
Goro didn't know anything about intent-driven magic or its nuances. He lacked a huge piece of the puzzle because he was a typical ranker from Anfang. Hence he couldn't make full use of his affinity and spells.
But you are different from Goro even in this aspect. The death mana is pure intent. If you wish to harness it to the best of your abilities, you need to control it using another intent."
After Alephee finished talking about other worlds, she released the time-element barrier she had kept for so long. Eren was glad that a lot of his queries were answered by her, bringing him more clarity on how to make use of his newly acquired necromancer powers.
"Heh! This death mana is infused with pure intent, right? What will happen if I pair it with similar non-elemental mana?"
Eren knew by instinct that wrath mana wouldn't get injected into mob summons because they did not have completely organic vessels. However, he wanted to try out his wrath mana on contracted undead that had their bodies intact.
Lightning struck and Eren approached where Meera Medinah and Rehaal were kept. He wanted to create a contracted undead out of a member of Edinburgh's special forces.
***
Meera Medinah opened her eyes after what seemed like a long time. She was lying on what seemed to be a small stone platform that looked like a single bed. All her military-issue gear was taken from her. She didn't even have clothes on her.
This single bed had necromancy-related runic inscriptions that would illuminate from time to time. Meera's hands were tied above her head as she was made to sleep on this platform. Her legs were also tied using runic bindings cast by Alephee.
This was the preprocess required to create a contract undead. Since Eren couldn't make use of Goro's human dolls, he decided to make his own using the "resources" he had lying around.
Meera had blurred vision and groggy memories of recent events. She barely remembered that she had fought with a young girl in a black dress. This young girl absolutely rolled over anything Meera threw her way. Even though she appeared to be in the D-Rank, she easily defeated Expert-ranked Meera.
Meera was just beginning to process her recent memories of that horrible battle as she opened her eyes.
"Where… where am I? And why the fuck…"
Meera's line of questioning was halted when she felt something sharp pierce her heart. She looked down at her chest and saw that someone had pierced her heart using a space-element dagger without creating an open wound.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!"
Meera was jolted back into reality when she felt the dagger getting twisted while lodged inside her heart. She screamed and tried to get up. However, the runic bindings on her limbs lit up and prevented her from making any sudden commotion.
Meera's blurred vision was cleared soon enough as teardrops started rolling down the edges of her eyes. She found that she had been stabbed by a young man with white hair and blue eyes.
"Who… who… wait. Eren Idril!"
Meera identified Eren by his facial features. She had a lot of blank spaces in her head. But at this point, she realized that Eren had defeated the entire ambush team. And she was forced to participate in a macabre ceremony.
Eren didn't feel like replying to Meera's questions. The whats, whys, and whos would soon become irrelevant to her. Meanwhile, he injected his wrath mana into her body before continuing with the undead ceremony.
One had to say that Meera managed to keep a straight head despite the grim situation she had found herself in. She was robbed of access to casting spells. And her exceptional body stats were basically useless because of the runic bindings.
Therefore, Meera tried to tempt Eren into releasing her. She then started to threaten him. But all that fell on deaf ears as the butcher continued with the ceremony.
It took Eren a while to complete the process because Meera was a rank above him. Alephee's assistance also helped him in the process. The butcher took a long breath before pulling out the space-element dagger when he successfully created a reanimation array on Meera's body. It made its presence known on Meera's chest in a red tattoo, before disappearing.
"Wakey wakey, sleepy head!"
Eren clapped his hands in joy and made his first undead contract arise from her slumber.
