The priestess began chanting magic.
A glowing arrow hit the Death Knight, but it didn’t trigger any reaction, failing to break its defense at all.
Her face turned even paler.
“This…
how can this be?
Third-tier faith-based magic…
isn’t faith-based magic the nemesis of the Undead?” The captain said with a look of despair: “The level difference is too great.
Everyone, prepare to fight for your lives.
At worst, we go down fighting!” Unfortunately, the net was a shark-catching net, and the fish were fathead minnows.
…
Deeper underground, a Skeleton Mage wearing black robes used a magic mirror to observe the small disturbance on the floor above.
Seeing his Death Knight slaughtering the squad, he couldn’t help but smile on his skeletal face.
“Heh, it is worthy of being the Death Knight I summoned at a huge cost.
If not for my concerns about the Draconic Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy, a small kingdom could be destroyed with a wave of my hand.” “Haha…
No, no, I can’t laugh.
I must calm down now and continue to expand this cave downward.
Once enough Death Energy is condensed, I can try to use Ritual Magic to advance.” The Skeleton Mage couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth rise.
“As long as I step into the realm of an Transcendent, I will be invincible!” This place was not formed naturally, but an underground space he had spent years digging out.
Currently, there are only two levels, and the third level is still under excavation.
This is the land of the Undead he carefully prepared.
Originally, he planned to gather enough Undead and perform the ritual in one go, but due to some oversight previously, Death Energy leaked out, creating a batch of low-tier Undead outside, which attracted the attention of the Adventurers Guild.
Although there was a small glitch in the plan, it didn’t matter.
It didn’t matter if those guys from the Adventurers Guild didn’t come; if they did, they would just be adding a few more skeleton warriors to his underground pit of the dead.
The battle above had ended.
Except for the priestess, everyone else had been killed.
The Skeleton Mage felt a bit unsatisfied.
Although the Death Knight’s attack power is not outstanding, it is still no problem to deal with a few human adventurers.
These adventurers are decent in strength and can be used to make some powerful Undead.
Among them, leaving the priestess behind was not out of mercy, but because her priestess class is relatively special, and he wanted to use her for some experiments to see if he could create special Undead.
Hmm, the number of Undead is still too small, I need to speed up the progress.
Should I attack human towns and obtain a batch of flesh and blood?
The Skeleton Mage fell into deep thought.
…
A few more days passed, Katze Plains.
Rowan sat weakly on a rock.
This is bullshit, where is the source of these skeletons?
Rowan’s carpet search had already cleared the surrounding Undead, but he hadn’t found the source.
These skeletons were like weeds in the ground, suddenly growing out.
There were basically no Undead left around, so forget it, if it really doesn’t work, I’ll go back.
Since there are no skeletons here, I can only go to the Tob Forest, where there are a huge number of monsters, and their strength is also very strong.
After killing those monsters, I can collect materials and make a profit, unlike these skeletons, which only leave skeleton frames after being killed, which are worthless.
Just when Rowan was about to leave, the Scout Raven in the sky suddenly brought good news.
It found a cave entrance hidden on a small hill in front.
A cave?
Did the Undead run out of the cave?
I can go take a look.
Rowan came to the cave entrance and looked at the cave that went down, falling into deep thought.
This cave looked very gloomy.
The entrance was not too big, and it didn’t look like a place where a bunch of Undead would pour out.
Forget it, since I’m here, I’ll go down and see.
The raven led the way, and Rowan followed closely.
After walking for a while, one could see obvious traces of manual excavation, such as the stone steps underground.
What’s the situation?
Was this manually excavated?
A sense of unease grew in Rowan’s heart.
I don’t know how long I walked, but when the raven flew into a hall and saw the bustling crowd of Undead in the hall, Rowan couldn’t help but shiver.
So many?
It’s a surprise.
If they are all wiped out, I can definitely level up one or two.
No, what is that hiding in the corner?
Death, Death Knight?
In the plot, the Ainz Ooal Gown casually summoned a minion from a human corpse, which is the Death Knight, reaching level 35.
Although its attack power is lower than those of the same level, its defense is very high, and it is usually used as a meat shield.
And such a minion has the power to destroy a country.
It is known that the bodies of creatures that die under the Death Knight will also be turned into Undead.
If left alone, the number of its Undead subordinates will become more and more.
And such a minion, Rowan is not confident that he can beat it now.
“Swish~” A cold arrow flew from nowhere and pierced the Scout Raven directly.
Rowan’s vision went black, and he could no longer connect with the raven.
Found.
Without hesitation, Rowan retreated immediately, and while retreating, he summoned another raven to scout the rear.
Knowing how to clear scouting creatures, that pile of Undead is nine times out of ten controlled by intelligent beings.
Generally speaking, the Death Knight has no independent intelligence and is only controlled by others.
There is a higher-level existence there, a powerful existence that can control the Death Knight.
I thought it was a big meal, but I didn’t expect it to be a shark.
Who is so insidious hiding here?
Being able to control a Death Knight, nine times out of ten, they have reached the level of an Transcendent, and even some Anomalies cannot do it.
While retreating, Rowan was desperately thinking in his mind.
In the plot, it seems that no one else has summoned a Death Knight.
To control a Death Knight, besides having enough levels, the professional system must also match.
The Death Knight is level 35, and although it belongs to the fifth tier, which is the Hero rank, the summoning magic is sixth tier.
Under normal circumstances, only an Transcendent can summon Undead creatures.
But in fact, summoning can be achieved through certain means, allowing a fifth-tier mage to cast sixth-tier magic.
This type of method is quite numerous, such as magic enhancement techniques, rituals, special props, etc.
Anyway, there are only a handful of powerhouses who can use sixth-tier magic.
On the surface, there are only four humans.
For example, the Empire’s strongest mage, the old mage Fluder, who is the guardian of the Empire.
However, although that guy’s level is high enough, he cannot control a Death Knight.
How did such a powerhouse suddenly appear here!
With Rowan’s current speed, he was like a gust of wind when running at full speed.
I hope he doesn’t notice me.
Rowan prayed in his heart.
A sixth-tier existence is nothing, but it is not something he can handle right now.
However, the more you worry about something, the easier it is to encounter it.
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
