Chapter 153: One pot!

What kind of monster is this? !
The heart of the Pale Lord - Atton was bleeding. All the wealth he had accumulated with great effort over decades was wiped out by that man in one breath.

Which undead wizard doesn't dream of commanding an army of natural disasters?

Arden is undoubtedly one of them. Ever since he was promoted to a transcendent in the Path of Death, he has always longed to have his own Scourge Army and build a huge mausoleum. He has worked diligently for decades and never dared to slack off. When he was in Dorne, he secretly robbed tombs to search for fresh corpses. Later, he was promoted to the Pale Lord and sent to the turbulent Dagon region. He secretly withheld a lot of materials and finally built such an undead army.

But now it’s all gone!
The materials consumed by necromancers are slightly less than those of other wizards, but their demand for soul crystals is huge. Corpses and bones can be stolen from the real world, as long as they are careful of the night watchmen. After all, this is not allowed. However, soul crystals are his wealth accumulated bit by bit over the past few decades, and all of them are used to resurrect these undead creatures. The destiny domain he was promoted to is the Undead Lord, and it is impossible for a commander without troops to become a lord of the dead.

Looking at the broken bones scattered on the ground not far away, Atton was instantly overwhelmed with grief. Even though he had been transformed into a living dead, he couldn't help but feel a little sad at this moment.

You bastard!
Do you know how many years it took me to accumulate this army of the undead?
The Path of Death has always had a high-pressure policy internally, and does not allow the private resurrection of the dead, because the slightest leak may cause disease and plague. The mortals in the real world are too fragile, and they may die if they are touched by a little bit of negative energy. Therefore, under the high-pressure policy of the hard-liners (mainly the Chief of Death and Lady Hecate and others), most of the undead transcendents are concentrated in a specific undead demiplane to live.

All of Atton's assets were secretly acquired bit by bit from outside, and it took him more than thirty years to build them up.

In order to amass this army of the undead, he was even blacklisted by the Death Patrol several times.

"Cool!"

Surrounded by the undead army, Xiao En's expression revealed a hint of comfort and joy. It had been a long time since he had such a satisfying monster-killing experience. The key was that these undead creatures were piled up very densely. If he was facing enemies on the warrior side, the high-density gathering would make the target hard to defend against. But for him, a large-scale spell bombardment was simply too cool.

Xiao En relied on killing monsters in battle to reach a transcendent level and gained the ability to master 9th-level spells.

According to his original calculations, even if his strength improved rapidly after he asked for the way, the difficulty of digesting the essence of the extraordinary would continue to increase after reaching a high level. It would take at least half a year for him to master the 9th ring spellcasting ability.

But the talent of the Son of Slaughter is too strong!

With the accumulation of the past six months, for Xiao En now, all he needs is to have enough enemies for him to kill.

——5th level Arcanist/5th level Psion/8rd level Arcanist.

Xiao En managed to reach the next level in just over ten minutes, something he had never dared to imagine in the past.

"It turns out that there isn't infinite resurrection!" Xiao En looked a little disappointed.

Those outer skeletons would no longer be resurrected because they were all blown into bone residue. After the bound spirits that had transformed into vengeful spirits were killed three times in a row, they gradually dissipated in the mist. It was likely that the ritual array for summoning the undead had run out of energy, or that the remaining soul shells had been completely drained by Sean.

Under the coverage of firepower, all beings are equal.

Sean was promoted to an arcanist through the knowledge sequence. His natural mana pool far exceeded that of other spellcasters, and he could also slowly recover his mana during battle. After about 70% of his mana pool was consumed, Sean still had a psychic energy pool of nearly 90% that he had not used.

One fireball can kill a large number of undead creatures. Except for killing monsters in games in his previous life, Xiao En has never felt so comfortable.

Undead creatures don't have much intelligence and are simply cannon fodder.

It's a pity that the Pale Lord's financial resources are still a little thin. If the ritual of summoning the dead he arranged was much stronger, perhaps Xiao En would have a chance to raise his extraordinary level. After all, he still has the "fusion technique" to use. Although it's a bit disgusting to merge with the monster doctor, with an extra mana pool, he can do a lot of things.

"Is his mana finally running out?"

The eyes of the Pale Lord hiding in the monster pile lit up. He found that the enemy finally stopped using large-scale destructive spells, and instead used 1st-level arcane missiles, and even relied on the invisible hand to tear apart the zombies that were surging nearby.

An enemy with his mana depleted is no longer a threat!

The odds are on me.

Decades of family wealth had been squandered. If he couldn't defeat this enemy, he would really be back to the days before liberation.

"Too few things."

"It's so sparse that it's not worth using a large-scale spell on it."

In fact, Xiao En was also waiting. He was waiting for the enemy to actively summon the second wave of undead army. After all, he was a veteran necromancer, so maybe he could still come up with something.

Unfortunately, the undead armies around are still sparse, and it seems that the other side really doesn't have much left.

The Pale Lord relied on a large army of undead to block Xiao En for more than ten minutes, consuming a lot of his mana. After realizing that the enemy's mana might not be much, he finally started to chant spells and sent all his treasures. It was normal for the necromancers to fight a war of attrition. It was precisely because of the large number of undead guards that they were more difficult to deal with than other extraordinary people. If they hadn't encountered a freak like Xiao En, normal high-level spellcasters would probably have planned to retreat by now.

Undead wizards are used to fighting a team of extraordinary people alone. If they have fewer people, they will not be enough to fill the gaps in the undead army.

——Skeleton Guard (Challenge Level 7)!
——Corpse (CR 8)!
——Flesh Golem (CR 11)!
A small-scale elite undead army appeared, and these could not be regarded as cannon fodder, after all, they were all the assets that the Pale Lord had worked hard to accumulate. Skeleton Guards must be assembled from the bones of two strong adult men, and summoning them requires the consumption of soul crystals. If there are no soul crystals, the caster's own soul power will be drawn.

To put it in a gamification way, creating these powerful undead creatures requires consuming experience points, either by drawing on your own soul experience or drawing on soul energy from the outside world.

If the corpse demon does not transform voluntarily, it must use the corpse of a supernatural being, and it cannot extract supernatural relics, and the cost is also very expensive.

As for the Flesh Golem, this kind of undead construct is very common near the high walls. The Path of Death has accumulated a large number of Flesh Golems over the past thousand years. They are all used to defend against the Black Tide, which is the deformed monster summoned when the Pillar of Flesh awakens.

The Pale Lord's heart was bleeding. This was his last fortune. Now he just hoped that there would be a little bit left after the fight.

Mummies, shadows, ghosts, giant zombies, vengeful spirits, etc., another large wave of monsters surged up, they covered this elite undead team and surrounded Sean's figure.

"The flesh golems are all on the field."

"It looks like he really has no assets left."

Xiao En's inspiration locked onto the Pale Lord behind the zombies. He calmly took out the third-generation Infernal Roaring Hand Cannon, loaded it with alchemical bullets, and then followed his inspiration to aim at the flesh golem behind him. Golems generally have various resistances, and some are immune to magic. In order to save some mana, it is better to use physical supernatural powers.

boom!
As if a howitzer had exploded, the explosive power of the rune bullet covered an area with a diameter of five meters, and a hole was directly created in the body of the flesh golem.

Not good!

The Pale Lord realized in an instant that something was wrong. The enemy's mana was indeed running low, but his resources were still strong. This was obviously not a regular firearm. It was most likely a rune weapon made by a transcendent who followed the path of alchemy.

What worries him most now is that he has no idea how much wealth Xiao En has left to squander!

escape.

That would mean that my entire hometown would be wiped out.

The Pale Lord not far away gritted his teeth and took out a strange and extraordinary relic. It was a hollow skull, the skull of a lich. The extraordinary essence in it could not be transformed and finally condensed inside the skull of the lich and turned into a sealed object.

——Withering (8th level spell)!

A strange ball of fiery red hot gas spread out, and within a range of dozens of meters, the water in all living things began to evaporate. No one could dodge in this range. Xiao En detected the spell fluctuations in an instant. He could have relied on dimensional jumping to avoid it, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to fight it head-on.

He didn't want the odds.

The withering spell can't kill him!

next second.

Xiao En's figure became thinner and thinner. He looked like a mummy at the moment. The evaporation of water in his body caused him great harm, but fortunately he learned the psychic spells of the Path of Change from the Insect Queen. With his body repairing rapidly, under the aura of psychic spells, he managed to withstand a wave of 8-ring necromancy spells.

In the dungeon of the Deep Pit Mine, Sean's biggest gain was completing the psychic spells of the Path of the Transformer.

The enemy is seriously injured!
The Pale Lord's expression was overjoyed. He flew out in an instant, and a faint green light appeared at his fingertips.

——Dissociation technique!

Although he felt a little sad, he was not sure if the enemy had any special items, so he started with Disintegration to make up for the damage. If he still could not kill the opponent, he would use Dispel Magic to fight a protracted war. He did not believe that the enemy could still be at ease after being exhausted for so long.

"Good guy!"

"Dissociation Technique!"

The mysterious knowledge in Sean's brain sent out a crazy warning, and his figure instantly changed position, allowing the unlucky monster doctor to help him take on this dissociation technique.

Doctor Monster has a strong physique and can't die at all.

——Star cocoon!

Countless silver-white silk threads emerged under the feet of the Pale Lord, and he was instantly trapped and imprisoned in an astral cocoon, as if it were a silver-white silk cocoon. At the same time, Xiao En's mental will had invaded his brain, trying to control the other's thoughts.

It's easy to kill the enemy, but it's hard to capture and control them alive.

not good!

The other party still has some strength left, and he has been waiting for me to show up.

The Pale Lord realized this in an instant, and he activated a bone ring on his finger with difficulty. In the flowing magic aura, he regained his "freedom", as if he realized that he was no match for Xiao En. After breaking free from his restraints, he immediately fled, not even caring about the other undead troops. After losing the command of the necromancer, the nearby undead creatures fell into chaos, and even the ritual spell that evoked death was interrupted.

"Freedom magic? There is such a good thing?"

"Want to run?"

The Ring of Freedom is equivalent to the control-releasing badge in the previous life's game. It can offset most control spells and can also remove effects such as immobilization and confinement.

Unless you are a supernatural being with a rich family background, you simply cannot afford it.

Xiao En's figure flew up, and a mental explosion turned into a scream that swept across the entire battlefield. He inherited part of the power of Su En's brain, and many of his abilities were close to those of the Mind Flayer's main brain.

He looks like a human now, but whether he is a human or not depends entirely on his self-perception.

After all, Xiao En has reached his current level and can exchange bodies at will.

——Anywhere Door! Facing Xiao En who was pressing forward step by step, the Pale Lord gritted his teeth and directly opened the Anywhere Door. The next second, a light door appeared in front of him, but before he stepped into it, strands of black hair emerged strangely and poured out directly from the gap in the portal.

——Witch's Long Hair [Unspeakable Creation] (Challenge Level 24)!
Xiao En's pursuit suddenly stopped. He took a step back with a bit of regret, watching the Pale Lord in front of him fall step by step into the abyss of death.

Countless strange long black hair poured out from the portal crazily!
They animated to be dozens of meters long, and pierced directly through the body of the Pale Lord like sharp needles. Amid his extremely painful howls, all his spellcasting abilities were instantly taken away, and the strange long hair began to absorb his vitality, magic power, extraordinary level, and so on. In just a few breaths, he was sucked into a mummy.

He couldn't even utter a scream, because the witch's long hair had already poured into his throat. When the countless strange long hairs were pulled back, the Pale Lord not far away was left with only a few bones.

"This is the Long Hair Forest."

"Why bother?"

"Even if you are controlled by my mind, you won't necessarily die."

Xiao En's expression revealed a trace of regret. After making sure that the witch's long hair had all disappeared, he slowly walked up and collected the relics and equipment dropped by the other party. There was no extraordinary essence in the corpse. The witch's long hair had an extremely terrifying energy absorption effect, which was equivalent to a 9-ring "energy absorption technique".

After all, this is the remains of a fallen demigod. If you risk teleporting in the Long Hair Forest, the more powerful your space abilities are, the more likely you are to attract the 'Witch's Long Hair'.

Xiao En took the spell head-on just because he didn't want to take the chance.

The witch's long hair has a relatively simple ability, which is an energy absorption spell close to the 9th level. It can continuously regenerate and revive. As long as the Long Hair Forest exists, the witch's long hair will never disappear. However, challenging and killing it can drop powerful extraordinary relics.

If you are lucky enough, you may even have a chance to gain a trace of divine power from the realm of death.

However, Xiao En did not have this idea for the time being. The remains of a demigod were not something that ordinary people could challenge. There were so many demigods in the Path of Death, but the Long Hair Forest had always existed in the spiritual world. This meant that the witch's long hair was not easy to deal with. Maybe there would be a second stage of battle after the battle.

After all, the land beneath his feet was transformed from the skull of the demigod witch.

If it was really that easy to get, Sean didn't believe that the other demigods of death would not be tempted at all. After all, that was divine power.

Inside the catacombs.

Sean saw three skeleton guards that had not yet been assembled and a flesh golem that had just been completed but not yet activated. The cost of this thing was about two million dinars, which was considered a relatively cheap golem puppet.

There are many broken bones piled up in the ossuary hall. Strictly speaking, they should be bone fossils. These are the skull fragments of the witch.

They are digging for the remains of God, and are probably looking for the 'blood of God'.

"Work!"

Xiao En raised his hand slightly and began to cast a spell.

——Group invisible servants.

Invisible servants were summoned one after another, and they began to empty the entire underground tomb. The real function of these invisible servants was to move things, because in the biography they could move the dragon's lair within a few minutes.

The entire underground tomb was emptied by Xiao En. He was indeed a little short of money recently and urgently needed to make some money.

He gained a lot in this battle, but he only enslaved the Monster Doctor. It was a pity that he did not capture the Pale Lord. If he had caught him and planted his thought imprint on him, he would have had another high-level servant.

"It's easier to get rich by robbing the enemy!"

Xiao En waved his hand to disperse the invisible servants. He looked at the monster doctor beside him who looked loyal, and said to himself: "It's not enough to just slowly plant the thought imprint. I have to master the ability of the thought imprint as soon as possible."

"It would be best if I could, like the Ancient Evil and the Old Ones, contaminate the extraordinary beings in a very short period of time and completely control them for my own use!"

"Pooh!"

"It's not about pollution, it's about letting them devote themselves to the sacred and great cause!"

There is no way Doctor Monster will get away.

Xiao En's focus next is to continue planting thought imprints until a hundred layers of BUFF are stacked up, forming a stable thought imprint to completely control the monster doctor in front of him.

But with Xiao En's current strength, it is still a little slow to superimpose the imprint of thoughts.

If it was a superhuman as powerful as Doctor Monster, he would need at least a week to fully control them. He didn't know how the Mind Flayer Empire enslaved a planet's worth of humans back then. There must be secrets that he didn't know about.

After fully embracing the darkness, the only thing that can limit Sean is his inner morality.

The strange mental laws are so evil!

——Eamon!
Before leaving, Sean left a mark using Eamon's real name. Although Eamon has left, it does not affect his use of this real name to take the blame, because they can't find Eamon anyway.

As long as it is a directional prophecy spell, it will all be obscured by "God's Eyes Cannot Reach", and only one piece of information can be obtained - "Amon did it."

Too much debt is not a burden.

Aamon's real name has been blamed enough, this is just a drop in the bucket.

"Perhaps I should consider signing a courier with a contract."

Xiao En said to himself: "Since we have come to the spirit world, I can find a [Spirit Contractor] to sign a contract with. He can also help me deliver letters from time to time."

In the weird country, the spirit is roughly equivalent to unspeakable evil spirits.

They are mainly active in the spiritual world and are a unique existence that is difficult to understand. They do not have a complete soul or a complete body, and exist in a state of being caught in the cracks.

However, messengers from the contracted spirit world need to pay a price, and some contracted spirits are very greedy.

"Is there any spirit contract in the Long Hair Forest?"

Xiao En thought about it and decided to set up a magic circle on the spot to try and see if he could summon something.

This thing is a bit like drawing cards, it all depends on what's in the card pool.

If you want to contract a more powerful and unique spirit, you must go to the landmark areas of the spirit world, such as Sleepy Hollow, Candlekeep, Ghost Valley, Longhair Forest, etc. You can only summon some garbage evil spirits in the wild areas.

The vast majority of contracted spirits are transformed from powerful extraordinary beings who have died but are not completely dead. The minimum threshold for transforming into a contracted spirit is to become a legendary figure. Many of them are famous figures in history.

In the weird country, it is very difficult to die completely.

"You need to be strong, fast, good at hiding, and able to transcend the laws of space."

Xiao En thought about it and added his own requirements to the ritual array. Along with the emergence of a strange red and black light, strands of black hair appeared in the center of the ritual array. Finally, a group of hair that condensed and squirmed like seaweed floated in the air.

Countless strands of hair were flying in the air above the ritual formation.

——The remaining soul of Lavinia [Spirit Contract] (CR 18)? !

A shadowy banshee appeared. It was an incomplete soul, equivalent to only one soul and one spirit left out of the three souls and seven spirits. It is very difficult for demigods to die completely, as they are immortals.

"soul!……"

"Give me my soul! ... I will serve you!"

A strange whisper sounded directly in Xiao En's mind. This half-real and half-virtual female demon seemed to be a female ghost, condensing in the more than ten meters of flying hair. Her expression revealed a hint of hunger, and she murmured: "Give me a soul every day, and I am willing to serve you!"

Good guy.

Xiao En was shocked on the spot because the strength of this Qi Ling was no weaker than his.

"One soul a day?"

"That's 365 souls a year. Tsk, tsk, more greedy than the devil!"

Xiao En closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and began to think about whether to exile her. Summoning such a powerful contract spirit, exile also needs to pay a little price, and she will not leave unless she is fed. He recalled the people in Dusk Town. Counting them one by one, it should be enough to feed this contract spirit for a long time.

Signed!

365 souls a year, I can afford it if I grit my teeth. If it really doesn't work, I can keep them for a few years and then ask Lady Hecate to find a way to release them.

Now that I'm here, I might as well use it.

Xiao En took out a black leather scroll, wrote the contract document in the devil's secret code, and left a secret door on the rune in the corner of the scroll using the devil's law. He directly handed over the 'Devil's Contract' and smiled, "Congratulations. You're hired!"

Lavinia's remaining soul was still shrouded in endless soul hunger. She did not hesitate to use her strange long hair flying in the air to imprint the "Devil's Contract".

The contract is reached!

Xiao En now has the first spiritual messenger. Although she may devour her master at any time, it doesn’t matter, because the devil will also devour her master in the same way.

He is destined to kill a lot on this trip!
If a little bit leaks out from between the fingers, it should be enough to feed the greedy spirit in front of me.

Pitiful.

Only this little bit of soul is left of the demigod witch from back then.
