Chapter 168: What’s the Difference Between This and a Wizard Apprentice?
As Sunan spoke, the secret puppet was enveloped in a dazzling array of colors. All the third-level wizard apprentices present recognized the unique glow of spells.
In just an instant, the puppet was imbued with multiple spells: Levitation, Agility, Strength, Resilience, Shield, Elemental Protection...
The sight left Night Owl and the others wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
While spell-casting puppets aren't unheard of—wizard tomes describe techniques for permanently imbuing puppets with spells—the craftsmanship required to create such puppets was beyond their reach.
Even if they couldn't craft them, they knew that puppets imbued with three or four spells were considered exceptional.
Yet this puppet seemed to have at least eight spells active! It was the first time they had witnessed such a marvel in all their years.
What kind of puppet—or rather, what kind of construct—was this?
Saulo was equally astonished.
It was his first encounter with such a construct.
In an instant, any scorn he harbored vanished, replaced by a solemn demeanor.
With a sudden hiss, the snake body connecting the seven snake heads severed from Saulo, transforming into seven massive pythons that lunged at Sunan with a foul stench.
