After Braham agreed, he suddenly felt a strange sensation. He could feel in real time that something was trying to form a connection with him but it's not an uncomfortable feeling.
On contrary, it was so comfortable that he wasn't able to resist and succumbs to it. Then suddenly, a flash of information flows through him. It was all the informations about Lexus provided by Great Sage to Braham through Sage Link.
The same process that happened with Madra's ego.
「 Even for a legendary great magician that seeks all the knowledge of this world, this lad is very peculiar, right? 」
Braham then heard someone's voice through the link. Since the voice sounded different, he knew it wasn't from Lexus. However, thanks to the information provided by the Great Sage, he was able to identify who it was.
「 Undefeated King Madra… I didn't really expect you would personally be watching over someone. 」
And with that, a conversation between the two previous generation legends ensued, discussing various topics, but mainly focusing on Lexus.
•~~~•
[Assimilation]
[Will awaken either Braham's soul fragment or Madra's ego through Sage Link and become one.
At this time, control of the flesh will be transferred either to Braham or Madra.
Skill Duration: 5 minutes.
Skill Cooldown Time: 10 days.]
Lexus smiled as he read about the skill. It was the same skill from the novel, but with a slightly different version. Unlike in the novel where Greed could only assimilate with Braham, Lexus had the privilege of being able to assimilate with either Braham or Madra, depending on the situation. The skill was truly amazing, regardless of how Lexus thought about it.
While Lexus admired the skill, he looked at the old coffin on the ground. It took him a while to find, but the wait was worth it. Opening it, Lexus saw a skeleton inside. In Satisfy, skeletons were summoned using bones. But seeing it, Lexus was aware that it wasn't just an ordinary skeleton but a lich.
A lich was on a different dimension from a skeleton. They possessed infinite magic power and were rumored to surpass the 10 great magicians of the continent.
"Mumud."
Lexus murmured, saying the name of the lich before him. Mumud was the most intelligent disciple of Braham. He was also deemed as a genius magician, whom even Braham himself was jealous of.
If Madra had the supreme talent or potential in swordsmanship and became the Undefeated King, Mumud's talent in magic was mentioned several times in the novel that his magical talent was comparable to Madra's potential.
Before his death, Mumud was on the verge of becoming a legendary magician. As a disciple of the legendary Great Magician Braham, Mumud excelled as a genius. However, his genius was short-lived. His heart had been weak since he was born, and he had to die before he turned 30. He didn't reveal his illness to anyone and devoted himself to researching and creating a magic system that anyone could easily use. It was his greatest accomplishment as a magician. This allowed Mumud to feel satisfied with his life.
It may have been a short life, but he was happy and felt fulfilled in contributing to the development of the world. He could humbly accept death. However, it was only for a moment. His achievements were taken away from him by his master Braham, causing him great shock. Mumud burned with anger and vowed to get revenge on Braham. He would create a new magic formula that surpassed Braham, leading him to Siren to obtain a powerful orb.
However, he did not carry out his revenge. His life was too short. He would rather spend it on happiness than revenge. He fell in love with a Water Clan woman he met in Siren and closed his eyes happily.
"I know what I'm about to do would cause a great change in the novel but I can't let Mumud suffer."
After his death he was turned into an undead, a lich by Braham and Lexus somehow knew why. After his death, Braham miss Mumud, the only person in the world who trusted and followed him. He envied him but never harmed him, despite intercepting his achievements.
Braham wants to atone for the sins he committed, so he made Mumud into a lich to extend his life beyond what it should be. However, Lich Mumud would later become controlled by the Baal's Contractor and serve as his pet. While under the Contractor's control, despite his own wishes, Mumud was forced to commit acts of slaughter that went against his very being.
Lexus did not want it to happen, even though it would cause a significant change; he was determined, and willing to take risks. The future would certainly not follow the canon due to his presence. Every action he took would result in consequences that would impact the future. He was not naive enough to believe that everything would proceed as planned.
Touching the black chains on his arms, Lexus began without hesitation. A dark cloud of black smoke appeared around him, or rather, a very small fragment of darkness appeared and took form, enveloping the corpse.
Lexus could hear Lich Mumud's groan. It was strange, since the undead couldn't feel anything.
Little by little, it was turning a human like figure. Energy of intense darkness and death spread around him and turned into a piece of cloth as it turned into a robe. After a while. Lich Mumud stood in front of him then lowered on his knees and bow down at Lexus.
「 I greet. My Master. 」
Lich Mumud mentally spoke conveying his words directly into Lexus' mind. This meant that he had established a Sage Link with him since his soul was still inside the body of the lich, which met the prerequisite to establish such a link with Great Sage.
[The magician of death, a lich has submitted to you.]
[Lich Mumud's physical body cannot handle his 'rank.' The attributes are being reassigned.]
[Lich Mumud's level decreases to 160.]
[All attributes have decreased.]
[All attributes have decreased.]
[Lich Mumud's attributes have been reassigned. But his soul's 'rank' is the same, and its potential is the same. As he grows in existence, his lost previous 'rank' can be regained. Rapid growth is advised.]
[You have found a way to carry out death. The power of darkness will always be with you.]
[The title 'Carrier of Death' has been obtained.]
[You have made an achievement that is not easily accomplished.]
[The skill, 'Mumud's Knowledge' has been acquired.]
[Carrier of Death]
[The world is split into two sides. The life and death. They hate each other as they were opposite and cannot mix with each other.
* You will receive love and blessings from both the living and the dead.
* Affinity over darkness +30%.]
[Mumud's Knowledge]
[Increases magic casting speed by 15% and mana regeneration rate by 30%.]
Seeing the notifications, Lexus' smile didn't fade. It always made him feel very delighted and seeing the last system window, Lexus didn't think much and added several stat points in his intelligence stats. As soon as Lexus added some stat points in his intelligence stats, system messages appeared.
[Your intelligence stats has reached 5,000 points.]
[Intelligence stats will increase by 500 as the first to accomplish this achievement on this era.]
With eagerness, he opened up the status window.

It rose more evenly than expected. With a smile, Lexus unconsciously touched the sword that was sheathed at his back. Lexus then thought of something. He had purchased several enhancement stones at the auction house in Reinhardt while selling his unique rated weapons at the same time. Thinking about it, he decided that now is the perfect time to use the stones.
[Blessed Weapon Enhancement Stones]
[A magic stone used to enhance weapons.
The successful enhancement of a weapon will increase the enhancement value by +1.
The failed enhancement of a weapon will decrease the enhancement value by -1.
Weight: 20.]
In Satisfy, items could be enhanced up to +10. However, the price of the enhancement stones were expensive, and the higher the enhancement value, the lower the probability of the enhancement succeeding.
In addition, if the enhancement was successful, the enhancement value would be +1. But if it failed, it would be -3, so the chances of ordinary users owning high enhanced equipment was like picking stars from the sky.
But in the case of the blessed enhancement stones, the drop was -1 instead of -3 if an enhancement failed.
Braham and Madra saw him pull out the enhancement stones and the two of them coincidentally asked at the same timing.
「 This time it's enhancement? 」
Lexus smiled and nodded.
"I'll be facing tougher opponents soon so I guess it's time to upgrade my sword."
The higher the enhancement value, the higher the item's basic stats and options. The concept of enhancement was required. The problem was that the odds were so low.
「 Indeed, enhancing a weapon will be easy for you. Pagma was the master of enhancement and you have inherited his skills. 」
The price of the enhancement stones are expensive. Weapon and armor enhancement stones are 100 gold… and the blessed weapon and armour enhancement stones are 1,200 gold each.
The blessed enhancement stones were 12 times more expensive than ordinary enhancement stones.

Every time an item was enhanced by +1, the basic stats were increased by 5%. The original damage of 625 increased to 656.
"The basic attack power is good, so the rise is too big!"
With excitement and hope, Lexus continued to enhance the item.
