Chapter 576 Installing Skulls
There was a rank difference between these 2 gems. So, if Abel wanted to make a perfect skull, he needed to combine 81 “chipped skulls” together.If he was to use a “flawed skull,” he would need 27of them.
Abel let out a long breath of relief. It seemed like he needed to kill more deities to get these resources. If his family knights had weapons with these skulls, they could replenish their lives during battle and increase their power dramatically.
Even a head commander could get a lot out of these skulls since head commander skills needed to be infused with mana. If they could replenish their mana, they wouldn’t need to rest. That was why only old head commanders with enough mana store would actually use those head commander skills.
However, if they had a weapon with these skulls, their power could increase at least a few times.
The only thing was that Abel never heard of people making weapons out of these skull gems.
As a Grandmaster Blacksmith, he could gain a lot more knowledge when it came to forgery compared to other blacksmiths. Especially with his connection to the Goff Family.
Abel put away the useless rubbish in a portal bag. He would let his servant Peman take care of it once he got back to the Holy Continent.
Abel then took out a knight sword from his portal bracelet. It was one of his earlier pieces. Its socket was opened using the Holy Continent Method, and he placed a Chipped Skull into it.
Although the skull could fit, Abel realized the quality of the knight sword was beginning to drop. It was slowly engulfed by death qi. With a sword like this, even a defenseless Wizard could not hold it, let alone a knight. It was such a pity.
Abel scanned the sword with his power of will. There was no special power. Abel was not satisfied, so he threw the sword into his Horadric cube to confirm. Still, no special power. It only had the name “damaged big sword”.
“Impossible. The Horadric Cube had clearly recognized it as a chipped skull, so it should be able to install it!” Abel was very certain in his heart.
Perhaps there was a problem in the installation process. All normal gems had elemental energy, but not skull gems. All they had was death qi.
Abel could not identify what kind of energy was death qi, but he was certain of one thing. It was definitely not like elemental energy.
Up to this point, he took out a knight sword with a single socket that opened up by the special power of the Horadric Malus. Normally, a knight sword with a single socket was a failed item to Abel.
He would have thrown it away long ago if even the normal swords he made were worth a fortune in the Holy Continent.
Abel then took out another piece of Chipped Skull and installed it on to its socket. As soon as they made contact, the socket began to glow. Afterward, the socket vanished.
This was the special hidden ability of a Dark World’s socket. It allowed Abel to hide how special his gems were compared to those clearly exposed sockets of the Holy Continent.
Big sword “normal.”

Although this sword might be a magic sword, just this ability alone could move a head commander’s heart.
All the spoils of war had taken care of. Only 5 portal objects made out of bones from the deities were leftover. Abel had killed an intermediate deity before, and he had gotten a finger joint portal object from him.
By that point, he had 6 portal objects made out of bones in total. It was best to use death qi with these portal objects. It would take up twice as much energy if you used magic.
On top of that, these portal objects were filled with death qi anyway. You could not store any herbs or plants inside, let alone food. You could only put some weapons in them at most.
Therefore, other than becoming a collector’s item, most wizards in Miracle City would just exchange these portal objects for resources after they killed a deity.
Of course, Abel would not do that. He had resources, and he actually had a use for these portal objects made out of bones.
His Kong Kong spirit portal bag was a military grade portal object that could grow in size by consuming other portal objects. Perhaps this was why Miracle City would exchange resources for these portal objects made out of bones.
Suddenly Abel had an idea about death qi: the use of these portal objects had other uses other than increasing the size of his Kong Kong Spirit portal bag.
His spirit guardian knights could grasp death qi. If he gave these bone made portal objects to them, it could allow them to exchange gears, weapons, or just carrying around normal stuff a lot easier.
The only problem was that only the spirit guardian knight captain could use the power of the will since it the only one consumed the Soul Potions.
Naga should also have the power of the will since he could manipulate poison elements.
The spirit guardian knight captain already had a portal bag, but Abel was thinking about swapping it out with a full set of bone made portal objects so it could learn to hide it like the orc deities. At the end of the day, a summon with a portal bag might still irritate some people.
Abel then took out 7 bottles of ‘soul potions’ and summoned all the spirit guardian knights out from the monster portal ring. He gave each of them other than the spirit guardian knight captain a bottle of Soul Potion.
Although each of them only had 1 bottle, those skeletons’ size had noticeably grown a lot. Their power should increase as well. Normally, the effect would be strongest when taking a power increasing potion like Soul Potions for the first time.
Although Abel wanted to replace all his skeletons into special ones at the end, that would still take time. He needed his skeletons to be powerful now.
Abel had quite a lot of Soul Potions, and it would be a waste if he used it on himself. The scary dragon core had pushed his ability to the pinnacle of wizards. A Soul Potion would just increase the speed of his brain a little.
But now he also had that little piece of World Stone. His brainpower had already reached a scary speed even without Soul Potions. He didn’t know what would happen if he kept taking Soul Potions, so he would rather not risk it.
Therefore, he ended up with a big stack of Soul Potions from his recent battles, more than 200 battles.
Soul Potions could not be used too many times. All his other summons needed time to settle and adjust after leveling up with a Soul Potion before they could take another one.
Only spirit guardian knights could use unlimited amounts of Soul Potions, and the spirit guardian knight captain had taken it way too many times that it seemed to be immune to it.
His next step should be focusing on cultivating his spirit guardian knight Naga. After rounds of battles, Abel realized it’s poison attacks were very useful. Especially since those h.e.l.l creatures were getting stronger, Naga poison attacks were the most effective attacks among the spirit guardian knights.
Abel divided the 6 bone made portal objects to the 6 spirit guardian knights.
Afterward, Naga put the bone made portal ring it revived from Abel on to it’s left finger. The ring slowly merged with it’s bones and fully vanished in the end.
