Eric released his necromantic aura, encasing the young man's corpse in the energy. His pupils turned white, and energy was rapidly sucked from his body.
The young man's corpse was soon drenched in a dark, viscous liquid. Immediately, it was absorbed by the body.
However, in a few seconds, the body itself began to rot. The skin melted, while the organs were nowhere to be seen. A part of the necromantic aura returned to Eric's body.
Eric's eyes turned normal when all the flesh was melted off the young man's corpse. All that remained was a hollow skeleton infused with Eric's will. It was ready to be controlled but uncertain whether to be able to gain intelligence.
Intelligence. It was a broad concept studied by millions. It was subjective, many said. Intelligence could refer to possessing intellect or as a measure of intellect.
