Herag's current level is still too low, and he is not qualified to access higher-level information.

The higher-ups of the Wizard Alliance probably know some relevant information, but as a Level 1 Junior Wizard, he currently has no chance to reach that level.

As Herag continuously uses the Desolate Plague to absorb life energy, the flesh and blood ground gradually turns grayish-white, losing its vitality like gray stone.

Gradually, this expanse of flesh and blood ground turns completely grayish-white.

Herag obviously feels that the life energy absorbed is much less than before, but he still does not stop, swearing to drain the last ounce of life energy.

At this moment, Malcolm no longer has the energy to deal with Herag. He tried various ways to stop Herag from absorbing life energy, but all failed.

In this form, many of his methods couldn't be used, putting him in a predicament instead.

Malcolm decided to use this magic to deal with Herag after seeing Herag's terrifying power and speed.

Originally, according to his assessment of Herag's strength, the flesh and blood ground magic should have perfectly restrained Herag.

Unexpectedly, Herag has the ability to absorb life energy without limitation.

If he had known this earlier, Malcolm would not have chosen to respond to Herag in this way.

But now, he has no chance to regret it.

As a large amount of life energy drains, Malcolm becomes weaker and weaker, gradually unable to maintain the form of the flesh and blood ground.

After the blood-red ground turns grayish-white, it gradually turns into solid stone, having reverted to its original stone nature.

After Herag absorbs all the life energy, the flesh and blood ground starts to slowly turn into stone.

Observing this process, Herag realizes why Malcolm doesn't cancel this state.

It's not that he doesn't want to cancel it, but rather he can't cancel it quickly.

Malcolm is undoubtedly a true genius wizard, with many spells of his own research.

But even for a genius, the spells he researches always have drawbacks, as the combat environment is full of various factors.

The spells that are still widely circulated may not be very strong, but they certainly have high universality.

It was actually the first time Malcolm used this spell in combat, and he never thought about the problem of life energy being absorbed.

When the land completely turned grayish-white, Herag discovered a skeleton appeared on the open ground ahead.

When he approached, he found it wasn't a typical skeleton, but a skin and bones figure; the flesh was completely shriveled.

Herag observed it carefully for a while and couldn't recognize that it was Malcolm.

But judging from its aura, this skeleton was indeed Malcolm.

Upon closer inspection, Herag found that Malcolm was not dead yet, still possessing extremely weak life energy.

Malcolm's heart was completely shriveled and not beating, yet he still had not completely died.

If given a long time, he might slowly recover.

Herag certainly wouldn't give him this chance; once he acts, it's to eliminate all threats.

Taking a deep breath, Herag's body instantly swelled again. He clenched his right fist, his whole body's muscles tensed tightly.

Boom!

The punch made a huge noise, echoing in this space.

Malcolm's already fragile body instantly shattered; all his bones turned into bone fragments.

Herag glanced at the scattered bone fragments, and with a wave of his hand, used magic power to gather every piece of bone in front of him.

Then, he punched again, shattering them even more thoroughly.

This was not the end. Gathering magic power in his hand, Herag cast one Fireball Technique after another at those bone fragments, completely incinerating them.

After burning with the Fireball Technique many times, Herag took out a round-bottomed flask and collected all the ash that was left.

He planned to store it for now, and later find a suitable witch array to seal it away.

Although it seemed a bit excessive, Herag thought it was absolutely necessary; Malcolm must not be given even the slightest chance.

Being cautious was absolutely necessary, merely a bit more troublesome, but it was to eliminate future troubles.

After collecting all the ashes, Herag still did not finish completely.

The flesh had been destroyed, but the soul remained.

Malcolm was a specialist necromancer; if his soul wasn't completely obliterated, it would be an ongoing threat.

"Undead Perception."

Using Undead Perception, Herag quickly discovered Malcolm's soul, standing bewildered in front of him.

Normally, after a human dies, their soul leaves the body. At this time, the soul is usually in a bewildered state, temporarily inactive.

After some time, as the soul gradually awakens, it begins to recover some memory.

If a means to sustain one's soul for longer life isn't found quickly at this point, the soul will start to dissipate slowly until it completely vanishes from this world.

Herag expected that a necromancer like Malcolm would have a way to make his soul awaken quickly.

But from a present view, Malcolm's soul was still in a bewildered state, not yet at the point of awakening.

"Undead Sword."

Herag rapidly gathered an Undead Magic Sword in his hand, a necromancy spell he'd learned from Lady Moran in the Moonlight Forest that can effectively harm spirit bodies.

Holding the silvery Undead Sword, Herag thrust it into Malcolm's soul's forehead.

After piercing with the Undead Sword, a crack appeared on Malcolm's forehead, with countless white lights emanating from the crack.

It seemed like some cognition returned to Malcolm's soul's eyes, looking at Herag with anger and terror, his mouth agape as if to shout, but no sound emerged.

At this moment, countless cracks spread from the center of Malcolm's soul's forehead.

A moment later, his soul completely shattered until it vanished entirely.

After Herag thoroughly obliterated Malcolm's soul, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He picked up a silvery ring from the ground, which was Malcolm's Space Ring.

Holding the Space Ring, Herag felt that killing this man was like ridding the Wizard Plane of a menace.

There were indeed many valuable items in Malcolm's Space Ring.

Yet, anyone looking into his Space Ring would likely feel an instinctive disgust.

The Space Ring was like a slaughterhouse, except the subjects weren't pigs or dogs, but humans.

Herag felt a bit uneasy holding this Space Ring; if people from the Wizard Alliance learned about this and thought he did it, they would probably execute him immediately.
