That's why they obediently followed Lyle's orders.
As for the Magic Snake Naga, that was related to obtaining experience in the later stages, and Lyle did not want any problems to arise unless absolutely necessary.
As for why he let the Twin Witches leave the Great Wetlands?
Naturally, it was to guard against the upcoming actions of the Slane Theocracy.
His words just now were not meant to scare the Twin Witches. If the Twin Witches couldn't transform into humans using the magic ring...
Lyle indeed planned to deal with the Twin Witches, just like he did with the Cave Lizardmen.
Next—
He looked at the unconscious Gray Robed Mage beside him.
Lyle's eyes narrowed. He intended to use the other party as the first person to experiment on and to kill completely.
"It's not about right or wrong."
"I hope you can sleep forever."
Lyle stood up, staring at the Gray Robed Mage. He flipped his palm, and an iron sword appeared in his hand. He swung it down.
Blood gushed from the throat!
The Gray Robed Mage awoke from his unconscious state, his bloodshot eyes suddenly wide. After his body twitched a few times, he completely lost his breath.
"Experience gained: 16212"
[Experience Slot: 65977 / 120000]
The information on the attribute panel flickered.
"Above 29Lv, it actually provides nearly twenty thousand experience points." Lyle was slightly surprised by the experience value he gained.
As he couldn't accurately determine the Gray Robed Mage's specific level, Lyle also couldn't analyze how much experience value was given per level.
"Resurrection of the Dead · Modified!"
As this thought flashed through Lyle's mind, he immediately activated the resurrection magic, his eyes fixed on the area above the Gray Robed Mage's body.
Under the passive ability of [Shaman Mentor], he could see the translucent soul that emerged from the Gray Robed Mage's body after his death.
Buzz—
A powerful magical energy fluctuation emanated from Lyle, forming a circular magic array with a diameter of three meters, appearing at Lyle's feet.
The invisible, astonishing magic power made the surrounding air heavy.
Since "Resurrection of the Dead · Modified" was a resurrection magic modified by humans from another world to be cast through the magic system, it required double the amount of magic power.
Such a large consumption of magic power, even with Lyle's current magic power, would not last many times.
Therefore, he activated the [Mad Mage]'s professional skill "Mad Meditation" to substitute the consumption.
Whoosh—
The magic array's light flashed.
The soul, which was originally hovering above the Gray Robed Mage's corpse and gradually showing signs of dissipating, was forcibly pressed back into the other party's body under the effect of the resurrection magic.
"Ah—"
The Gray Robed Mage's corpse, in the blink of an eye, regained life, instinctively letting out a scream, as if waking from a dream, and sat up with a face full of cold sweat.
"Thank you, ally..."
The Gray Robed Mage gasped a few times, and as his consciousness gradually returned, he instinctively tried to speak.
However!
When he saw Lyle standing in front of him, the Gray Robed Mage's pupils suddenly constricted, and his face showed a mix of shock, astonishment, disbelief, and other emotions.
"Swarm—" The Gray Robed Mage wanted to cast a spell, but Lyle, who was prepared, acted one step ahead and knocked him out again.
At such a close distance, the Gray Robed Mage had no chance of resisting Lyle's true close-combat abilities.
"Resurrection magic is indeed related to the soul."
Lyle looked at the unconscious Gray Robed Mage, thinking about the changes that occurred throughout the process just now, and murmured:
"His aura has clearly weakened a lot. According to the characteristics of low-level resurrection magic, he should have dropped four levels."
Lyle had known about this change for a long time, so he was not surprised.
In the anime and light novel versions, Bone King and Demiurge had conducted extensive experiments on healing magic and resurrection magic and had reached certain conclusions.
Lyle had not resurrected Forest Sage Kurusuke after killing him precisely because of the situation where his life level would drop after resurrection.
The reduction in experience was one thing.
The key was that the other party's fur and other materials would also decrease in level once resurrected after death.
As for skinning the other party's fur beforehand, it was useless, because after resurrection, any missing limbs on the other party's body would also disappear.
This was also a conclusion reached by Demiurge, so there was no situation of farming materials through resurrection magic. Although there were some actions that could exploit bugs, the results were unknown.
