On the other side.
Gar's Magic Shop.
He unlocked the shop door, walked inside, and closed the door tightly.
He then applied several layers of isolation arrays to the room.
Next, he went down to the basement.
Gar pressed the Poké Ball on his waist, and Gengar was released:
"Jie~"
Gar waved his hand, and Rustyrose's corpse appeared on the ground. Gar instructed Gengar:
"Gengar, pour out all the Dark-attribute materials you collected before."
Gengar's body had long been modified by Gar; usually, Gar fought while Gengar directly scavenged things, just like before at the Noisy Second Hand.
Gengar heard Gar's words and nodded:
"Jie!"
Its two short arms reached for its belly, and a slit directly opened on its round, purple tummy.
Gengar grabbed one side of the slit with its left hand and tried to reach inside with its right hand. Soon, one Dark-attribute material after another was thrown out: demon horns, Soul Stone fragments, dark runes of unknown purpose... But feeling it was a bit slow, Gengar's body shifted, and a clone appeared next to it.
The clone and Gengar exchanged glances, and the clone also let out a 'Jie Jie~' sound. Then the clone walked in front of Gengar, and half of its body squeezed through the slit on Gengar's belly, almost losing balance, its two short legs flailing vigorously.
Only then did it stabilize itself. Then the clone, which had drilled into Gengar's belly, started digging for something inside with its two short hands, as if in swimming mode.
One Dark-attribute material after another was continuously thrown out from Gengar's belly by the clone's actions.
Soon, they piled up into a small mountain.
Seeing that there were enough, Gar told Gengar to stop. Gengar nodded, and the clone, which had half its body inside the belly, directly dissipated. The slit on the belly also returned to its original state, and Gengar stood beside Gar, watching curiously.
Gar raised his hand and aimed it at Rustyrose's corpse. The image of what he wanted to manifest appeared in his mind. Then, aiming at Rustyrose's corpse, he activated the 'Arc of Embodiment'.
Buzz—
A silver-white Arc of Embodiment magic circle lit up beneath Rustyrose's corpse.
Then, above the Arc of Embodiment circle, a layer of dark purple magic circle appeared. This magic circle was different from any Gar had learned; it was condensed by the 'Arc of Embodiment'. All of Gar's Confusion was attached to that layer of magic circle.
He carefully observed the operation of the dark purple magic circle.
As the dark purple magic circle lit up, Rustyrose's corpse rapidly dissipated, all turning into the most refined energy and merging into the magic circle.
The small mountain of Dark-attribute materials next to it also trembled, attracted by the magic circle.
Soon, several materials flew out from the pile: Soul Stone fragments, the heart of a Netherworld Horse, fragments of a demon's skull... As each material merged into the magic circle on the ground, the dark purple magic circle glowed brightly.
A Skeleton Soldier slowly emerged from the magic circle and stood before Gar. The dark purple magic circle dissipated.
Green Soul Fire burned in the Skeleton Soldier's eye sockets, and it stood respectfully before Gar.
Looking at the Skeleton Soldier, which was no different from his memory, Gar raised his hand and drew the Soul Fire from its skull. He then split it, returning only a small piece of Soul Fire.
The Skeleton Soldier's aura instantly became weak.
Gar's thought moved, and Confusion crushed it.
The Skeleton Soldier in front of him was instantly crushed, and the Soul Fire in its skull also dissipated. However, the main Soul Fire in Gar's hand remained unchanged. As Gar divided a portion of that Soul Fire and threw it out.
The crushed Skeleton Soldier on the ground rapidly re-condensed, but the Soul Fire in its eye sockets was much weaker again.
Clearly, it consumed a lot of energy from the split Soul Fire.
Gar nodded in satisfaction.
It's important to know that the Fairy Tail world didn't have the kind of Skeleton Soldiers, Undead Knights, or Bone Dragons magic found in various films from Gar's previous life.
However, the Arc of Embodiment could, according to Gar's thoughts, manifest them with various materials under the premise of conforming to world rules, bringing Gar's ideas to life and creating this never-before-seen Undead Conversion Array.
Looking at the re-condensed Skeleton Soldier, Gar stroked his chin, then raised his hand to retrieve the Soul Fire from its eye sockets. The Skeleton Soldier immediately became motionless.
Then Gar motioned to Gengar, asking if it could possess and control this skeleton.
The main reason was that Soul Stones were used during the conversion array, and the refining process for these was too cruel. He had only obtained a few pieces while combating Dark Guilds.
If Gengar's possession could succeed... the dragon bones in the Dragon's Graveyard could form an army of Bone Dragons.
