Chapter 63: The Small Undead Army Takes Shape

In the dim basement, Deya was neatly dressed, holding a sharp blade in his hand, studying the corpse and soul in front of him.

He cut through the dense muscles, stimulated the nerve bundles, pieced together the broken bones, and explored the mysteries of the soul.

In the process, he also got the secret of the dead.

"..."

After a long time, Deya temporarily stopped his work.

Upgrading and promoting a mage is not that simple.

For example, as a necromancer, if Deya wants to create an undead creature that he can control, it is not something that can be accomplished by simply reciting a spell.

He needs to have an extremely detailed understanding of the bodies of these creatures.

Only in this way can the corpses be 'stitched' together to create a powerful undead creature.

The undead creatures used by necromancers can be roughly divided into two types.

One is to summon directly with spells. Generally, each level of spell corresponds to an undead creature of the same level.

The number of undead creatures summoned in this way is small and their strength is very weak.

It's like a 1st-ring skeleton. Apart from ordinary people, they will be afraid of it. But it's impossible for them to lose in a one-on-one fight with any normal 1st-ring transcendent.

Therefore, spells that summon undead creatures are more like summoning cannon fodder to buy time for the necromancer to use other spells.

However, undead creatures with higher rings will become stronger and have different functions, but they still cannot beat professionals of the same level in a one-on-one fight.

The second type of undead creatures are those created by oneself using the corpses and souls of others, just like Deya is now.

This type of undead creature is much more powerful than those that are purely summoned.

If the material is high enough, even such an undead creature is enough to fight against extraordinary professionals of the same level.

This is also where the Necromancer is most powerful.

But even so, the Necromancer still has some problems.

Killing extraordinary people and taking their bodies and souls is okay if you do it a few times, but if you do it too often, you will easily become a public enemy.

Moreover, creating an undead creature requires time and skills, and it cannot be done with just one spell.

Undead creatures also need negative energy to move around, just like humans need to eat and drink.

Without negative energy, undead creatures will be unable to move.

Some special spells against undead creatures work on this principle, directly and forcibly cutting off negative energy and thus destroying the undead creatures.

This is why the necromancers in this world have never caused a natural disaster of the undead.

Ordinary necromancers simply cannot provide enough negative energy for an army of undead to squander.

In addition, even the Necromancer is unable to perform delicate operations on all undead creatures.

After all, not everyone has the ability of Chang Gong to move the front-line machine guns by 5 meters...

The result is that the necromancer can control hundreds of undead creatures to fight in a small area.

But it couldn't make the undead spread.

As far as Deya could remember, the only necromancer in the game who had launched something close to a scourge of the undead was his teacher, Master Irving.

However, the method used by Master Irvin was to use spells above the 9th level to transform the environment.

He fills the area affected by his spells with endless negative energy, allowing him to summon and use undead creatures at will.

But even so, Master Irving could not figure out how to reorganize the undead creatures.

This group of undead creatures are just scattered guerrillas and can only win by numbers.

But Deya's method of adding points based on the Undead Scourge can completely solve these problems.

The problem of negative energy can be solved by a "forbidden item", which allows negative energy to form a perpetual cycle.

As a Ringwraith Knight, he can now reorganize the undead.

These undead creatures are summoned by special rituals and they retain the abilities and knowledge they had in life.

Just like his Ringwraith Knight, he even still possesses the swordsmanship he had in his lifetime.

At that time, we only need to dig up the graves of a few strong men who had strong leadership and strength during their lifetime, and we can build a disciplined "Undead Army". This is much more useful than living creatures.

Creatures can feel fear and disobey orders for a variety of reasons.

But the undead creatures don’t. They have no fear, nor are they afraid of death. They obey orders completely and are simply the most perfect soldiers!
Deya used the bodies of the assassins to turn them into ten 2nd ring undead creatures called 'zombies'.

These 2nd-level undead creatures are much stronger than 1st-level skeletons in both attack and defense, and are also stronger than undead creatures summoned directly by spells.

There is plague in the body of the 'zombie'. If the enemy is scratched or bitten, the wound will quickly fester if it is not treated with spells and herbs in time.

On the battlefield, this is a very useful ability because there is no extra time to deal with such wounds.

"For a necromancer, the best place is always the battlefield, where there are plenty of corpses to use."

Looking at the ten 2nd-ring undead creatures in front of him, Deya was also very satisfied.

Under the leadership of the Ringwraith Knights and with the help of their aura, they can be considered an elite small force.

Apart from being ugly, there are no major flaws.

The undead creatures transformed from corpses will naturally be reduced to lower realms.

As for the defender's soul with 5-ring strength, Deya is not going to deal with it for the time being, but to study it first.

Even if he possesses the expertise of 'Necromancy Expertise', he can only exert the power of the 2nd ring at most.

It is really a loss to transform a 5th level soul into a 2nd level undead creature.

Now that he had assembled a small undead army, Deya was more confident about his next goal.

Using spells and special potions, Deya cleared the smell of the corpse from his body and left the basement.

It was already late at night, but he did not go to bed. Instead, he drank some alchemy potion, returned to the study, took out the spell book, and started studying again.

"..."

No wonder young mages have hardly ever seen anything above the 3rd ring.

This extraordinary profession is really too time-consuming and brain-consuming.

Even with the help of plug-ins, Deya still felt that learning magic was such a long and painful process.

Those who don’t have plug-ins really have to endure loneliness at home and study hard.

The mage is so damn cool!
I was 996 in my previous life, but I didn’t expect that when I came to another world, I would want to be 007!

"Although your body has been blessed by the Enochian language and is different from that of ordinary people, your spirit will still be exhausted.

I added some herbs to the black tea to restore your spirits.

Don't drink those alchemical potions all the time, or you'll develop 'antibodies'."

A gentle voice came from beside Deya, and then a cup of black tea was handed to the table in front of him.

Deya looked up and saw Miss Doll sitting in the air in front of her, holding a small teapot in her hand.

Her gorgeous long skirt poured down like mercury, and as she lifted her legs clad in white stockings, one could occasionally catch a glimpse of the scenery under her skirt while peeking.

White, very innocent!
"Sometimes I feel like you're just like an old woman."

Deya grumbled in his heart, he picked up the black tea and took a sip. The black tea did have the taste of herbs, very bitter, but refreshing.

He smiled and said, "Thanks, Patricia."

finished,

He continued to immerse himself in the ocean of magic.

Patricia doesn't need to sleep, so she stays with Deya every night when he studies.

Miss Doll said "hmm" and sat in the air next to Deya, continuing to flip through a fashion magazine in her hand.

She flipped the pages of the magazine very gently, fearing that the noise would disturb Deya.

……

The next day, Deya dressed up, put on a fake beard, and transformed himself into a different person.

"Well, this way no one will recognize me."

He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
