1 001 The world invaded by the game
Trantor: 549690339
Inside the workshop of the Sector 5sewage system in Spring City.
Dean McKenzie was arranging his ¡®treasures¡¯ that he¡¯d collected from the sewer whilst worrying about his wages and his future.
¡°I have been in this world for half a year now and have only saved up 5 silver coins. At a rate of one silver coin a month, it will take me at least seven to eight years to save up one gold coin.
Seven to eight years, I will be 30 years old in seven to eight years.
Putting the age factor aside, also let¡¯s not consider the variables of seven to eight years.
Even if I manage to save 1 gold coin, the Promotion Ceremony for that one gold coin is only the lowest level. The sess rate is a terrifying one percent and what I turn into is uncontroble.
If my luck is poor the gold coin that is equivalent to one hundred thousand RMB will simply go to waste.
Even if I encounter that one percent chance, it¡¯s still uncertain whether I can turn into abat profession or not.
In other words, am I supposed to gamble an opportunity in the following seven to eight years, practically an eternity?¡±
Making such calctions made Dean a little discouraged: ¡°I give up! It¡¯s so impossible, maybe I should just quit!¡±
Of course, easier said than done, it¡¯s not possible to just give up.
Look at him denying himself right now.
¡°No, I can¡¯t. As challenging as it is to transvers to another world, much less a world as interesting as this one, how could I just give up?
No matter what, I will certainly be a professional with immense power!¡±
While speaking, he thought back on those images of the professionals battling with immense power that he had seen when he had just transversed half a year ago. Dean couldn¡¯t help but get excited at the thought.
Yes, that¡¯s right.
The current Dean McKenzie, a janitor of the Spring City sewers, is a transverser.
Half a year ago, he had unexpectedly travelled to this world.
Moreover, it was his physical body that had travelled to this world.
When he first arrived in this world, he was fortunate enough to witness the product of this world and saw a group of professionals in battle.
How could one describe that scene. It gave a newly transversed Dean an immense shock.
That battle was the primary cause for Dean toiling in the sewers for half a year.
He wanted to be a professional.
Also, janitor was the highest-paying job he could reach.
Dean McKenzie was quite fortunate, actually.
Upon transversing, he encountered professionals battling and luckily managed to live on from that battle. Even more so, the victor was clearly someone who embodiedw and goodness.
The proof was in the fact that they rescued Dean and took him back to the city.
After a quick investigation showed that Dean was an ordinary person, he was ced in the victims¡¯ gathering center of Spring City.
You could say that Dean¡¯s early days of transversing were fortunate due to the help of Spring City¡¯s official institution and he was able to settle down in this world.
As a result of the training he received from the Victim Gathering Center, Dean McKenzie was able to secure a job as a sewage janitor with a monthly sry of 1,100 copper coins, equivalent to 1,100 RMB.
If it were the past, Dean McKenzie, a recently graduated college student, wouldn¡¯t nce twice at a job with a monthly sry of a thousand and some.
He remembered thinking: a monthly sry less than 10,000 is ridiculous, even a dog wouldn¡¯t take the job!
But as soon as he transversed, he worked diligently for a job that pays a little more than a thousand a month.
But his efficiency was no use because the wage didn¡¯t show any hope for future!
¡°No, I can¡¯t continue like this. I can¡¯t just waste seven to eight years gambling with my life, these six months have almost driven me crazy already. If I have to continue for a few more years, I will absolutely lose my mind!
After this final month, I am done!¡±
As Dean muttered to himself, he continued to wipe his treasures.
That treasure in his hands was his treasure in his own eyes, but to others, it was just a piece of trash.
It was a tiny sharp corner, looking like aponent of some equipment.
As Dean yed with it, he could see the attributes of the object before his eyes.
¡
Name: Unknown Equipment Fragment
Quality: Trash
Level: 0
Attribute: Physical Attack +0.1
¡
At first, Dean was especially excited when he saw these attributes, thinking that he had awakened the Golden Finger.
Later, he found out that these attributes weren¡¯t unique to him, but weremon to the world he was in.
This world in front of him was somewhat simr to the worlds that had invaded games in novels.
In this world, attribute boards aremon.
Everything that could be seen basically had attributes, not only did the equipment fragment in Dean¡¯s hand have them, but also he himself had attributes.
¡
Name: Dean McKenzie
Profession: Unpromoted
Talent: Extraction (Not activated)
Level: 0 (Unlocks after Promotion)
Attributes:
Strength: 0.7, Agility: 0.8, Physique: 0.8, Spirit: 1.1
¡
These were Dean¡¯s attributes.
Aplete mess.
The averagemon person¡¯s attributes are around 1, Dean¡¯s attributes are inferior to themon person¡¯s, excluding Spirit.
The only bright spot was the Extraction talent.
At first, Dean was pretty excited when he saw this talent, thinking it was a unique skill that set him apart from others.
But reality quickly cooled him down.
He discovered at the Victim Gathering Center, this talent was not something that everyone had, but at least three or four out of every ten people had it.
He even saw a few people with the same talent as him.
Later on, Dean found out that having a talent was one thing, whether it could be unlocked was another.
The conditions to unlock the talents differed from person to person. It rather depended on their luck, apart from a lucky few who could unlock it as soon as they were promoted, the vast majority of people needed to purchase talent-activation tools or potions. But neither tools nor potions were something an impoverished person like Dean could afford.
For Dean, his ideal situation right now would be to work hard for a few years and save up 1 gold coin.
Then, use his savings from these years to undergo the lowest-level Promotion Ceremony, sessfully turn into a professional, and awaken his talent in one go.
He would be able to soar to great heights instantly.
¡°If only it were that simple!¡±
This dream was beautiful, so beautiful that it could be the driving force for Dean to move forward. But he also knew that he needed to adjust his mentality.
While he should hold onto this beautiful expectation, he mustn¡¯t get too immersed in it.
Otherwise, if things didn¡¯t go ording to his script, he was afraid he wouldn¡¯t be able to bear the copse!
¡°Let¡¯s get to work! If I want that beautiful future, I need to finish today¡¯s work first!¡±
As Dean spoke, he picked up his freshly cleaned treasure and got up to leave the small work area.
Upon going outside, Dean didn¡¯t get to work right away. Instead, he first checked his traps and the rm system in the sewer.
After making sure everything was in order, Dean put the treasure he had just obtained in his trap, and just as he was about to start working, the rm system for the sewer suddenly went off¡
Chapter 2 - 2 002 Hard-haired Rat
2 002 Hard-haired Rat
Trantor: 549690339
The warning system in the sewers was constructed by the Spring City officials.
Its prime function is to deter any monsters from prating the city¡¯s defensive system and infiltrating the city through the sewers.
Nevertheless, the area where Dean McKenzie currently resides is rtively close to the city center.
Although not exactly the heart of the city, this area is rtively safe.
Otherwise, an ordinary person like Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t have gotten the job of a janitor.
Of course, safety is not absolute, or else he wouldn¡¯t have been receiving a monthly sry of $1100.
In this world, for an ordinary person, this monthly sry is absolutely high.
High sry, naturally,es with high demands.
Not only is Dean McKenzie required to maintain the sewers, he also has to deal with such early warning systems.
The warnings are divided into several levels.
Levels 1 to 2 are minor warnings, and require Dean McKenzie to investigate.
If it esctes to level 3 or above, there¡¯s nothing much Dean can do except report the warning details.
¡°Level 1 warning, probably a rat or something has triggered the warning device!¡±
Dean said this casually, but still returned to the cabin to pick up some equipment before heading in the direction of the rmed area.
As he approached the warning device area, Dean tread lightly, trying his best to minimize his presence.
Though he would consider a Level 1 warning not to be a big issue,
Dean chose to approach with utmost caution.
This caution sometimes seemed utterly unnecessary.
After all, in the past six months, Dean has dealt with numerous Level 1 warnings, all of which had beenpletely safe.
But sometimes, caution could be a lifesaver.
Just like this time.
Dean¡¯s life was literally saved by caution!
He had barely approached the rm area when he heard a noise.
Dean¡¯s eyebrows knitted instinctively at that moment. Something seemed amiss, but he still extended the custom-modified stick he had prepared ¨C over a meter long, with mirrors attached to both ends.
Through this stick, Dean was able to see the situation beside the warning device.
At the sight, Dean¡¯s face involuntarily twitched.
Next to the warning device, there was a giant rat, its body covered in ck-grey hair and about the size of a basin.
¡°A Brushfur Rat? How can there be a Brushfur Rat here?¡±
Over thest six months, aside from his janitorial duties in the sewers, Dean had passed time with two activities.
One was collecting treasures from the sewer and using them to set up traps.
The other was reading a few books he brought down from above.
One of them was the ¡°Complete Guide to Common Monsters around Spring City¡±, which contained information about the Brushfur Rat right before his eyes.
While looking at the Brushfur Rat, Dean recalled the information about it.
¡°Brushfur Rat, regr levels 1 to 5, mainly active in the mountains and ins to the east of Spring City.
The skill it possesses is [Brushfur Shot], effective within a range of 15 to 20 meters. It is known as the novice nanny of Spring City, nurturing generations of novices.
As long as one is careful to avoid its skill attack, it can be easily defeated!¡±
Of course, Dean himself also knows that the ease mentioned here applies to professional fighters.
For him, an ordinary person, the most secure solution when encountering such a situation is to retreat, report the information, and there will naturally be people dispatched to handle it.
After all, he is merely a janitor with a monthly sry of $1100!
However, at this moment, Dean hesitated.
¡°Should I dare?¡±
Yes, at this moment, Dean is hesitating whether or not to take on this Brushfur Rat.
¡°Take a closer look, this Brushfur Rat seems quite weak. There¡¯s blood beneath it. It must be injured.
I should stand a chance of killing an injured Brushfur Rat, right?¡±
Of course, Dean is well aware.
A single slip up could potentially cost him his life!
But Dean still decides to go for it.
¡°Reporting it would, at most, earn me a verbalmendation or a few tens of dors in reward. But there won¡¯t be any substantial benefits.
Why not take a risk? It¡¯s said ordinary people have a much higher chance of looting monsters than professionals, and there¡¯s even a theory of guaranteed drops upon the first kill.
Although the risk is high, if I want to be a professional in my current situation, I have no room for ying it safe!
If I dare to take a risk, there¡¯s a chance. If I never dare to take a risk, I might never get a chance in my entire life!
Dammit, if the worstes to worst, I¡¯ll die. Maybe if I die, I¡¯ll get another chance. Let¡¯s do it!¡±
Dean grits his teeth, makes up his mind, and starts to take action.
He bangs the stick in his hand heavily on the ground.
¡°ng!¡±
In the dim and damp sewer, the sudden ttering sound is particrly harsh, spreading out far and wide in an instant.
At the same time as he pounds the stick, through the mirror on the stick, Dean clearly sees that the Brushfur Rat has stood up and is charging in his direction.
Without any hesitation, Dean drops the stick, grabs the shield he made from a pot lid in his hand, and turns to run.
As Dean sprints off, he doesn¡¯t forget to count silently.
¡°3, 2, 1!¡±
Dean turns around the moment he counts to one.
He estimates it should take around three seconds for the Brushfur Rat to charge from the warning device to the corner.
However, the Brushfur Rat¡¯s speed is much slower than he expected.
A little over a second after Dean turns around, the Brushfur Rat only then rushes out.
¡°Here ites!¡±
The moment the Brushfur Rat rushed out, Dean dropped to the ground, simultaneously holding the pot lid above his head as a shield.
Almost at the same moment that Deanpletes this action, the Brushfur Rat¡¯s attack arrives as expected.
¡°Thud, thud, thud!¡±
Three hard bristles fired from the Brushfur Rat hit the pot lid in Dean¡¯s hand.
Thanks to Dean¡¯s precaution of falling to the ground, his body was mostly protected by the pot lid. As he predicted, the bristles all hit the lid.
But what Dean didn¡¯t expect, was for the [Brushfur Shot] of the Brushfur Rat to be much more powerful than he had anticipated.
The pot lid in his hand was actually prated, with one of the bristles piercing right through Dean¡¯s palm. The bristle¡¯s powerful shot also somewhat dislocated Dean¡¯s hand.
The intense pain made Dean break out into a cold sweat, but his face was filled with excitement.
¡°It worked!¡±
The Brushfur Rat¡¯s [Brushfur Shot] has a cooldown time, ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
This round at least bought Dean 30 seconds. Dean quickly dropped his pot lid, got up and started to run.
The Brushfur Rat, with bloodshot eyes, pursued relentlessly.
Soon, the Brushfur Rat chased Dean to a corner.
¡°Pah!¡±
As the Brushfur Rat reached the corner, a wooden nk full of spikes suddenly sprang up about 30 centimeters from the ground. The Brushfur Rat collided head-first onto the nk, precisely hitting the spike in the center, which Dean had just nailed in and had 0.1 Attack Power.
¡°Whoosh!¡± With a sound, blood sshed out.
Dean seized this opportunity and pounced. He lifted a stone he had just picked up and furiously smashed it on the stunned Brushfur Rat¡¯s body¡
¡
Thank you, ¡°An Bu Shuai¡±, for your generous support of 5000 Qidian Coins.
Thank you, ¡°Zhang Ye Yu Can¡±, for your support of 100 Qidian Coins!
Wee, old friends and new, to support my new book!
Chapter 3 - 3 003 Promotion Book
3 003 Promotion Book
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, the sewer system.
*Thud thud thud!*
A series of rapid, rhythmic sounds intermingle with Dean McKenzie¡¯s heavy panting, persisting for several minutes.
For a moment.
A high-pitched sound rang out, followed by information appearing before Dean, making him shudder; subsequently, he copsed, and the stone smeared with fresh blood in his hand also fell.
At the same time, the sewer rat in front of him burst into two white lights with a ¡°pop¡±.
At this moment, Dean¡¯s eyes were fixed on the information before him.
[You sessfully killed [Tough Fur Rat], since you have not transferred jobs yet, you have not gained any experience points!]
Dean McKenzie smirked, his eyes turning to the rat, or to be precise, the two lights emanating from the rat¡¯s explosion.
He knew from various sources that monsters would drop loot, but he had never seen it or made it happen himself yet.
¡°Indeed, books didn¡¯t deceive me, the first kill indeed has a high probability of dropping loot¡ª in this case, two items!
I wonder what they could be; it would have been great if there was a Promotion Book!¡±
Obviously, Dean was somewhat wishful here.
What is a Promotion Book?
It is a job transfer item with a sess rate of over fifty percent, and it has a directional function for the job after transfer. For ordinary people, it is rare to even see this thing, let alone use it.
Even regr professionals have a hard time getting hold of it.
Many strong individuals couldn¡¯t get it even after repeatedly defeating boss-level entities, let alone Dean McKenzie.
But Dean, with an excited heart, opened the blinking lights, and a pile of coins appeared before him.
[You open two light points and obtain one Silver Coin and fifty Copper Coins!]
Well, there was no Promotion Book, and even no equipment or tools, only a few coins. Dean was somewhat disappointed.
¡°Indeed, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.
Fortunately, I did gain something this time.
That silver coin should be the reward for the first kill, and the fifty copper coins should be the normal loot expected from the kill.
That¡¯s a total of 1050, equivalent to my monthly sry. Also, this Tough Fur Rat, I remember its meat can be eaten, right?
I should not waste it; I will bring it back for food.
I should also report the situation when I get back, this should count as a work injury, right?
Maybe I can get a little medicalpensation and bonus.¡±
As Dean mumbled to himself, he picked up the coins from the ground.
After taking care of the coins, he turned to pick up the body of the rat to take home.
¡°Eh, there seems to be something in its belly!¡±
When he picked up the rat, Dean found what looked like a sewing mark at its belly wound, and the inside was hard, as if something was stuffed inside.
DID he find a treasure?
Delighted, Dean instinctively tore the wound of the rat open, and a bloody book appeared before him.
At the same time, the attributes of this book also appeared in front of Dean.
¡
Name: Book of Dark Promotion
Remaining usage: 1/10
Description: This is a promotion book imbued with the Power of Darkness. After using it, you have a high probability of acquiring a profession infused with the Power of Darkness.
PS: When you stare into the darkness, the darkness stares back at you.
If you want to gain a powerful strength from the darkness, you need to be prepared toy down your life.
¡
As Dean saw these attributes, his eyes became bright.
They were shining brightly, like a traveler at the edge of death in the desert who has just found an oasis.
But at this moment, breath of relief could be heard.
¡°Thankfully, I made it on time!
Kid over there, put that thing down, it¡¯s very dangerous, better hand it over to me!¡±
This sudden voice gave Dean a shudder.
His face turned pale in an instant, like a desert traveler who found out that the oasis was just a mirage.
Hope turned into despair!
At the same time, in front of Dean, a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in silver armor and carrying a long sword, walked up.
Seeing the man, Dean¡¯s eyebrows raised.
A smile bloomed on his face of despair.
¡°It¡¯s you!¡±
¡°You know me?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ve seen you before!¡±
The middle-aged man was taken aback, just as he was wondering who the boy was. Suddenly his face changed: ¡°Stop it!¡±
It was seen that Dean McKenzie, who had just stopped, once again pped his hand heavily on the Book of Dark Promotion.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man was about to swing his sword instinctively.
But he drew it back in the end. He was absolutely confident that his sword could stop Dean, but Dean would surely die in the process.
And his hesitation gave Dean an opportunity.
[You have used the [Book of Dark Promotion], you have initiated the Dark Promotion!]
Apanying the refresh of the Golden Finger prompt, the Book of Dark Promotion turned into a wave of ck energy that surged into Dean¡¯s body.
The next second.
Dean experienced what it was like to have his whole body torn apart and shredded.
At the same time, the system prompt in front of his eyes refreshed again.
[Job transfer has begun, please at least endure for 10 minutes time!]
Seeing this prompt, Dean¡¯s eyes widened.
At the same time, the middle-aged man approached Dean with a stern face.
¡°Mr. ¡ sir, I¡ I ¡ am sorry!¡±
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Dean managed a difficult apology.
¡°I know ¡ I know it was wrong of me to do this, but I had no other option!
I have been in these sewers for over half a year already, and I will have to stay here for several more years. I was waiting for an opportunity. Now that such an opportunity appeared before me, I did not want to give it up.
If I manage to transfer jobs sessfully, I will find a way to repay you.
If I do not make it and die, I have saved about six or seven silver coins. I know it¡¯s not much, but it is all I have.¡±
Looking at Dean, who was iming all these things while struggling to survive.
The middle-aged man¡¯s stern face rxed a bit, but still remained very somber.
¡°Let me ask you one thing, when I started to approach, you were clearly about to put down the item. Why did you use it after seeing me?¡±
On this issue, Dean McKenzie grit his teeth and enunciated each word clearly, ¡°At first, I didn¡¯t dare to use it because I was afraid of getting directly killed. But after recognizing you, I used it. I remember you were who brought me back to Spring City about half a year ago, you¡¯re a good person!¡±
Upon finishing, an exhausted Dean fell into unconsciousness.
Hearing his words and looking at Dean, unconscious due to the onught of the Power of Darkness, the face of the middle-aged man turned as ck as coal.
¡°Good person? Good people should be taken advantage of? That¡¯s some fucking wretched logic!¡±
Still cursing andining, he looked at Dean McKenzie, who was in the throes of agony, surrounded by the dark energy, and approaching death.
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth and pped himself in the end, finally revealing a scroll..
Chapter 4 - 4 004 Necromancer Apprentice
4 004 Necromancer Apprentice
Trantor: 549690339
Inside a dpidated house in the Rotting Corpse in.
Dean McKenzie, who had been in the sewer before, was quietly lying on the ground at this moment.
The dark energy that had been running rampant in his body had calmed down a bit at this moment.
Dean, unconscious, slowly wakes up and opens his eyes in the broken-down house.
[You used the[Book of Dark Promotion]!]
[You fell unconscious. The dark power is about to corrode your soul!]
[Ennis Hawkins used the Secret Realm Scroll[Rotting Corpse in]on you. You sessfully entered the level 5 Secret Realm, the Rotting Corpse in.]
[You obtained the main mission of this Secret Realm in: Survival!]
[Mission: Survival
Description: Please survive for at least 3 days in this ce full of death and decay. After three days, you will earn the right to freely leave the Secret Realm.
Reward: Will be determined based on your survival time and performance during that time!]
[You used the power of the[Secret Realm]to prevent the erosion of your soul caused by the dark power, your Promotion seeded,pletion degree seventeen percent!]
¡
As soon as Dean woke up, a dense pile of system prompts appeared in front of him.
¡°What happened to me?¡±
Seeing these prompts, Dean reacted: ¡°Is Ennis Hawkins the uncle I encountered just now?
Did he save me?¡±
From the system prompts, Dean understood clearly.
If not for the power of the so-called [Secret Realm], he would have been corroded by the dark power by now.
Dean was not very clear about what would happen if he was corroded by the dark power, but he could imagine that the oue would not be good.
¡°What a good man that uncle is!¡± After roughly understanding the situation, Dean couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh.
At the same time, his gaze eagerly fell on his attribute panel.
ording to the prompts, he had seeded in his Promotion. Although the degree of Promotion was only seventeen percent, he had nhelesspleted the Promotion.
¡
Name: Dean McKenzie
Profession: Necromancer Apprentice
Talent: Extraction (unlocked)
Level: 1 (0/100)
Attributes:
Strength: 0.7, Agility: 0.8, Physique: 0.8, Spirit: 2.1
Mana: 21
Skill: Bone Fang (Level 1) (0/100)
(Chant: With the power of death, create the Tooth of Destruction)
Effect: Concentrate a Bone Fang with a range of 10 meters, damage equals spiritual power multiplied by 1.)
¡
These are the attributes of Dean after his Promotion. Compared to before, the other attributes have not changed much. Only his spirit has increased by 1 point, his mana by 21 points, and he has gained a skill called ¡°Bone Fang¡±.
Dean doesn¡¯t know much about professions.
He doesn¡¯t know whether his profession is good or bad.
He doesn¡¯t know what level his attributes are among those who have justpleted a Promotion, but judging from the seventeen percent Promotion degree, it should not be high.
Even so, Dean is very excited at the moment.
The thing he dreamed of for so long has finallye true. Naturally, Dean¡¯s mood is indescribably excited.
Even the small run-down house he was in seemed to share his excitement.
With a ¡°pop¡±, the door of the dpidated house was violently pushed open.
A chill wind blew in, carrying the stench of decay straight to Dean¡¯s forehead.
Even Dean, who had been living in the sewer for more than half a year, couldn¡¯t stand the smell. Subconsciously turning his head, he saw a dposing, stench-filled corpse standing at the doorway of the small, rundown house, which he didn¡¯t know when it had appeared.
Face to face, the decaying corpse suddenly became excited, a low roar issued from its rotting throat, as it hopped towards Dean McKenzie.
Dean¡¯s scalp exploded in fear, his first instinct was to chant the skill he just awakened.
¡°With the Power of Death, create¡ damn!¡±
He didn¡¯t have time.
The two parties were too close. Before Dean could finish his chant, the corpse was already in his face.
Dean had to interrupt his chant and evade the corpse¡¯s ws aiming for his neck with a nimble crouch, at the same time he tried to trip the corpse with his own body.
How to put it, Dean¡¯s action just now was like¡
Trying to safely deliver a tiger cub.
The effectiveness of the move depends solely on the user!
If it were a brawny guy like Wu Song, there would definitely be no problem, but for Dean who is a Mage and only has 0.7 Strength, it¡¯s simply too difficult. After all, this Level 5 corpse monster has a Strength of 3.5.
¡°Poof!¡±
As soon as Dean crouched down, the rotten knee of the corpse hit him.
The power of 3.5 burst out in an instant. Dean suddenly felt like he had been hit by a speeding car. He was sent flying and mmed into the wooden wall of the shabby house two meters away, breaking the shaky wooden wall, he literally got kicked out of the house and tumbled on the ground for a few rounds.
After taking that kick, Dean felt as though his organs were dislocated. The immense pain made him break into a cold sweat, but at this moment, his eyes were extremely bright!
Opportunity!
¡°With the Power of Death, create the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
Dean on the ground, enduring the severe pain and fear, managed to finish his chant just before the corpse lunged at him again.
¡°Plop.¡±
A two-centimeter long Bone Fang, just managed, by a hair¡¯s breadth, to pierce the heart of the corpse as it lunged in front of Dean.
A smile finally emerged on Dean¡¯s face.
However, his smile immediately froze on his face as the corpse fell on him.
The Bone Fang that he unleashed did pierce the corpse¡¯s heart, but did not kill it.
¡°Its weak point is not its heart!¡±
Dean instantly understood where he made a mistake.
But it seemed to be a littlete, as the corpse was already pressing down on him.
With his Strength of only 0.7 before a corpse of 3.5 Strength, Dean seemed as fragile as a weak girl. He barely had any power to resist the powerful corpse.
He was soon pinned down, the big mouth full of stinky breath came biting towards his neck.
¡°Ah!¡±
With a scream, Dean was bitten on the hand by the corpse.
Dean paid the price of one hand to avoid getting his neck bitten.
At the same time, in killer pain, Dean began chanting again.
¡°With the Power of Death, create the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
Bellowing his chant, Dean swung a p directly onto the corpse¡¯s eye at the same time.
¡°Plop!¡±
A Bone Fang instantaneously prated the corpse¡¯s eye, piercing its brain. The next second, the corpse, which had been violent, stiffened, then fell softly onto Dean.
[You have sessfully killed [decaying corpse] at Level 5, gaining 1 Experience Point. Killing an enemy higher level than you grants 4 Experience Points!]
[You have been bitten by the [decaying corpse], and poisoned by the Rotten Corpse Poison!]
[Your current profession has an immunity to some of the Power of Death effect in the Rotten Corpse Poison, reducing your level of poisoning!]
[You havepleted killing your first enemy after promotion, your Talent [Extraction] is unlocked!]
System notifications started refreshing crazily at this moment.
At the same time, a light spot appeared as the corpse in front of Dean exploded.
Dean vaguely saw within the light, the silhouette of a magic wand¡
¡
Thank you, reader 20210307105500281, for the 500-coin reward!
Thanks to [yellow tiger surplus] for a 200-coin reward!
Chapter 5 - 5 005 Talent Awakening
5 005 Talent Awakening
Trantor: 549690339
On the Rotting Corpse in, Dean McKenzie struggled to push off the corpses piled atop him, reaching towards a point of light.
[You have activated one Light Point and have received the equipment [Skeleton Wand]!]
The next second, a wand about fifty centimeters long, fashioned entirely from bone, topped with a small skull, materialized in his hand.
The moment the wand appeared, its attributes were disyed in front of Dean.
¡
Equipment: Skeleton Wand
Quality: Common
Level: 5
Usage Requirements: Necromancer
Durability: 150/150
Attributes:
1, Mana Recovery Level 1 (1 point/5 minutes)
2, Skill [Summon Skeleton] +1 level (Maximum Level 3)
¡
It took a while for Dean to express his awe at the attributes of this equipment.
¡°It seems like my luck has really turned around recently!¡±
Although Dean didn¡¯t know much about professional mages, he knew the item in his hand was indeed a valuable one.
The moment he grabbed the wand, he felt a surge of power flowing into his body from it.
At the same time, Dean naturally discovered that he seemed to have mastered a new skill, and the information about this skill appeared before his eyes.
¡
Skill: Summon Skeleton
Level: 1
Chant: Servant of Bones, the Immortals, explore the essence of death
Effect: Summon 1 undead creature (Skeleton) of level 3
Mana Consumption: 20 points (Summon) (1 point/30 minutes) (Existence)
¡
Looking at this skill, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up.
He wanted to try it out right away, but upon checking his mana, he found he only had 5 points left, which was not enough to use the Summon Skeleton skill.
¡°So those two Bone Fang attacks just now consumed 16 points of mana, averaging 8 points per attack. Looking at it this way, my 21 points of mana really don¡¯tst long!
Right! Talent! My talents seem to have been unlocked.¡±
Dean recalled the system prompt that had shed before his eyes, and immediately opened his attribute panel to check his talents.
¡
Talent: Extraction (1 Level) (0/1000)
Status: Activated
Effect: Can extract attributes from targets killed within 30 minutes.
Mana Consumption: 20 points
Cooling Time: None
¡
¡°Well, I¡¯d better stop the bleeding first, find a ce to hunker down.¡±
Although he was interested in this talent, the 20 points of mana consumption effectively quelled Dean¡¯s desire to try it out.
Furthermore, it brought Dean back to the immediate issue at hand.
Although he had achieved victory and reaped great benefits, he had also paid a hefty price.
The kick from the corpse had left him in pain, and his right arm had been bitten with blood pouring from the gaping wound. Worse yet, the wound was showing signs of decay.
Given his current condition, Dean felt he¡¯d be in dire straits if another zombie appeared.
Next, forgetting about the possibility of infection, Dean used the dirt on the ground to cover his wound, tearing off his shirt to bind his arm.
Then, despite his revulsion, he smeared himself all over with the blood and flesh of the corpses.
Only then did he stagger back towards the hut.
Although the rundown hut had just been broken into, proving itsck of security, it was his only shelter.
But at least, in such an environment, it could provide Dean McKenzie some psychologicalfort.
Of course, crouched in this tiny, dpidated house, Dean McKenzie dared not let his guard down for a moment.
He was constantly alert to his surroundings.
Fortunately, it seemed Dean McKenzie was lucky. For the next hour, nothing happened besides a rotting corpse passing about a dozen meters away.
And this peaceful hour sessfully allowed Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana to recover from 5 points to 20 points.
Indeed, the [Mana Recovery] of the Magic Wand was 1 point every 5 minutes, but Dean McKenzie found that he seemed to be able to naturally recover, albeit more slowly, about 1 point every 20 minutes.
After an hour, he had just umted 20 points.
Dean McKenzie immediately used [Skeleton Summoning].
¡°Servant Bone Immortal, explore the ultimate truth of death!¡±
As Dean McKenzie raised his wand to chant, a grey magic circle shed before his eyes, and a slightly shorter, dumbfounded, unarmed skeleton appeared before him.
¡
Name: Pale Skeleton
Level: Level 3
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 1.2, Agility: 1, Physique: 0.8
Attack: 1.2
Defense: 0.4
Skill: None
Description: This is what you¡¯d call a¡qualified cannon fodder.
¡
Although, whether from its appearance or attributes, this skeleton seemed woefully inadequate.
But after sessfully summoning it, Dean McKenzie felt considerably more relieved.
At the very least, its existence made Dean McKenzie feel less lonely.
¡°Kinda cute, eh?¡±
He satisfyingly patted the little skeleton¡¯s pale head and continued to crouch inside the dpidated house.
After crouching in this tiny, broken-down house for just over another hour, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana had recovered to about 16 points. By then, he was unwilling to keep staying in such a position.
¡°Two or three hours have passed. Although the injuries on my body have not worsened and the rot on my hand has stopped,
Hunger has set in, and my physical strength is gradually diminishing. I have to get out!
I need to look for something to eat or drink.¡±
Although three days without food and water may not necessarily lead to death,
Hunger followed by exhaustion will put me in an extremely precarious and passive state.
Even though Dean McKenzie has a bit of a gambler¡¯s personality, he would not choose to gamble in the most stupid way. So, after saving up enough strength, he finally left the dpidated house.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie was a skilled gambler. He already had a n in ce before he decided to venture outside. He had a clear idea of how to obtain necessities.
¡°When the old man dropped me off, he didn¡¯t provide me with any supplies. Either he didn¡¯t think of it, didn¡¯t want to, or couldn¡¯t.
Eliminating the first two possibilities, only one remains.
The so-called Secret Realm may not allow any survival supplies to be brought from outside. Evidence of this is the fact that I carried a water bottle with me, but it was not transported in with me.
With the inability to bring supplies from outside, theoretically, there should be ways to obtain them in a Secret Realm.
So, what I need to do next is find these supplies.
If I truly can¡¯t find any, then I¡¯m going to have to think about using those rotting corpses instead.¡±
While speaking, Dean McKenzie looked down at the Skeleton Wand in his hand.
¡°If even a wand can be conjured, it would make sense for these corpses to produce some food, right?¡±
Following this, Dean McKenzie left the dpidated house with the little skeleton.
Formally initiating his exploration of the Rotting Corpse in.
Initially, Dean McKenzie thought that finding supplies would be difficult. But to his surprise, he made a discovery soon after he and the little skeleton cautiously left the house.
He saw another dpidated house.
A small, rundown house with a clear fountain outside, a small tree full of hanging bread loaves, and a delicately-made wooden chest.
Chapter 6 - 6 006 Corpse Swarm
6 006 Corpse Swarm
Trantor: 549690339
The Rotting Corpse in!
Gazing at a small house about a hundred meters away, possessing a water source, food, and even a treasure chest, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face showed both surprise and seriousness beyond the delight.
¡°I found the supplies, but I can guess even with my toes that getting the supplies inside won¡¯t be so easy!¡±
There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky.
This, Dean McKenzie, who has just picked up a Promotion Book, believed without a doubt.
After all, although he found the Promotion Book and sessfully upgraded his rank, he almost paid the price with his life.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie clearly knew that there might be a greater causality behind the Promotion Book.
This book didn¡¯t appear in the sewer for no reason.
Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯tfortably believe that what he picked up was his.
The same goes for the things in front of him.
Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t think what he sees is what he gets.
¡°The surroundings are pretty open, and there doesn¡¯t seem to be any danger. The only source of danger should be in that dpidated little house!¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at the wooden house, which was about a hundred square meters and several timesrger than his previous one.
¡°If the house is hiding corpses, judging from the size of this wooden house, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if dozens or even hundreds of them burst out!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, his eyes narrowed.
Then, waving the magic wand in his hand, hemanded the Little Skeleton he had named Dean McKenzie to move forward.
The skeleton, under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, deliberately slowed down.
Advancing step by step.
A minuteter, it entered within a range of one hundred meters of the dpidated house.
After another five minutes, it entered within a fifty-meter range of the dpidated house. At this time, the skeleton was only thirty to forty meters away from the Bread Tree. At this moment, Dean McKenzie, who was constantly paying attention to the small house, decisively issued an order.
¡°Retreat!¡±
As Dean McKenzie gave the order, the Little Skeleton turned around and sprinted.
At the same time, the small broken house that Dean McKenzie was watching copsed with a loud bang.
Dozens, even hundreds of corpses swarmed out like wild dogs, madly rushing towards the Little Skeleton.
The speed of the normal corpses is not fast.
It may even be slightly slower than the Little Skeleton¡¯s speed. Plus the Little Skeleton has a fifty-meter advantage, at first Dean McKenzie was confident that he could get the Little Skeleton out.
But when the Little Skeleton left the dpidated house by a hundred meters, and Dean McKenzie saw that the corpses were still not giving up and continued to chase after it, without hesitation, Dean McKenzie gave up on the Little Skeleton that he had just named.
¡°Go back!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, the level 3 Little Skeleton turned around without hesitation and rushed into the Corpse Swarm.
In an instant, this Little Skeleton was swallowed up by the Corpse Swarm.
[Your summoned creature has been killed!]
Apanied by the cold system prompt, the Little Skeleton that had been with Dean McKenzie for more than an hourpletely disintegrated.
Dean McKenzie was a little distressed, but he knew that this was not the time to be distressed.
He still hid a hundred meters away, nervously watching the reaction of the corpse swarm next.
Thank God, as the Little Skeleton was destroyed, the rampaging Corpse Swarm lost their target and gradually calmed down.
And the quiet corpses slowly returned to the position of the dpidated house.
Although the dpidated house was gone, they still guarded the fountain and the Bread Tree.
¡°It seems that once you enter a distance of 50 meters, it will trigger the fury mode of these corpses. In this mode, it¡¯s almost a fight to the death.
The skeleton cannot leave more than 150 meters away from me, so I don¡¯t have the conditions to use the Little Skeleton to lure away the corpses.
That is to say, if I want to get those supplies, there is only one choice, which is to wipe out this swarm of corpses!¡±
Murmuring, Dean McKenzie gazed at the nearly a hundred corpses wandering in front of him with knitted brows.
Nearly a hundred corpses, even if I can kill one with a Bone Fang, I would need at least nearly a hundred Bone Fangs.
Each deployment of 8 mana would cost 800 mana points.
800 multiplied by 5 minutes is 4000 minutes.
¡°I can either choose to give up, or I need to find a more energy-saving way to deal with this Corpse Swarm.¡±
If I give up, I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll find supplies again.
Even if I can find them in a short time, I¡¯d probably face a simr situation.¡±
With that said, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze gradually became firm.
¡°Since it¡¯s unavoidable, I can only try to face it!¡±
Having made a decision, Dean McKenzie slowly fell back, beginning to carefully investigate the surrounding environment.
Quickly, Dean McKenzie found his target.
He climbed onto a man-sized rock about 130 to 140 meters away from a rundown hut.
After staying on this rock for a while, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Mana recovered to 21 points, he summoned a new Little Skeleton.
Then, after spending about an hour, he once again recovered his Mana to 16 points.
By this time, Dean McKenzie had been at the Rotting Corpse in for about four to five hours.
Having not eaten or drunk anything in four to five hours, and having also experienced a fierce battle, Dean McKenzie¡¯s condition was extremely poor.
Nevertheless, it was under such unfavorable conditions that Dean McKenziemenced his battle.
¡°The 50-meter range around the small, broken-down house is the rampage line. If I don¡¯t enter within that range, the Corpse Swarm should not go into a rampage. If I utilize this point well, there might be a chance to lure the corpses over.
Go, Doggy Two, help me lure a corpse over!¡±
After the first Little Skeleton died, when it came to the second Little Skeleton, Dean McKenzie¡¯s naming became much more random.
At hismand, the Little Skeleton named Doggy Two staggered forward.
Watching Doggy Two gradually moving away, Dean McKenzie was somewhat nervous.
After all, he couldn¡¯t go with Doggy Two, he could onlymand from afar.
Especially for a task like luring monsters, which requires some skills, Dean McKenzie was really worried about whether Doggy Two couldplete it.
¡°If Doggy Two can¡¯t do it, then I¡¯ll have to resort to n B.¡±
n B refers to him personally going to the field, which would be a pure gamble of life.
However, if there were no other way, Dean McKenzie would still gamble his life.
Luckily, Doggy Two was somewhatpetent.
Not long after it went out, the Little Skeleton came running back, with a slow, stiff-limbed corpse behind it.
¡°It¡¯sing!¡±
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie suddenly became excited.
¡°Quick,e this way!¡±
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, the Little Skeleton lured the corpse to the rock where Dean McKenzie was, and led the corpse around it in circles.
Dean McKenzie watched with his Skeleton Wand, seizing the chance to deal a blow to the corpse¡¯s head.
It hit, but didn¡¯t cause injury.
However, it sessfully attracted the hatred of the corpse. The corpse¡¯s gaze instantly fixed on Dean McKenzie, as it roared and tried to climb onto the rock. Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity to chant a spell.
¡°Power of the Dead, forge the Tooth of Destruction¡±
At hismand, Dean McKenzie precisely hit the corpse¡¯s eye socket with one Bone Fang.
[You sessfully kill [Corpse], gaining 1 Experience Point!]
[You killed a monster of higher level, gaining an extra 4 Experience Points!]

Chapter 7 - 7 007 The first to empower choice
7 007 The first to empower choice
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Didn¡¯t drop?¡±
On the Rotting Corpse in, atop a rock, Dean McKenzie stared at the bare dead body with no glow.
He was somewhat disappointed, but more excited.
¡°That¡¯s normal. The drop rate for proficients is generally low. Dropping twice out of three times is considered super high. It¡¯s impossible for every one to drop. The important thing is the tactics work.
As long as the tactics are right, continuing on, it will drop eventually!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie inevitably looked towards Doggy Two nearby.
¡°Very little damage done at all, easier to keep alive due to the insignificant threat.¡±
¡°Doggy Two, let¡¯s keep grinding!¡±
Upon receiving Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Doggy two silently turned and headed towards the Corpse Swarm in the tiny broken house without any emotion.
Hmm, Doggy Two, this level 3 Little Skeleton truly has no emotions, nor any wisdom.
However, this Little Skeleton, though emotionless and witless, was very efficient.
He hadn¡¯t gone far before he returned with the corpses.
Strictly executing Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, obedient and efficient. The only downside was a little discrepancy in the number of corpses called.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s face went pale when he saw the number of corpses following Doggy Two.
¡°Five?¡±
Yes, Doggy Two had lured over five corpses this time.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s head was spinning!
If he dragged one over, Dean McKenzie would be overjoyed. If he dragged two, Dean McKenzie¡¯s head would be a bit big but he could still handle it. But bringing over five at once, isn¡¯t this pulling a monster?
This drag was clearly a funeral teaming over!
¡°This Doggy Two sure knows how to give me a hard time!¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at the corpses behind Doggy Two, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely gritted his teeth.
¡°Bring them over and circle around the rock!¡±
After Dean McKenzie gave hismand, Doggy Two led the corpses closer.
Dean McKenzie grabbed a fist-sized rock, aimed at a corpse, and threw it. Missed!
Threw again, still missed!
Threw again, hit Doggy Two, almost annihted him.
Dean McKenzie took a deep breath and made a fourth throw, this time urately hitting the third corpse.
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s target was the closer first corpse, it didn¡¯t matter.
The important thing was that he had lured over a corpse.
Then, Dean McKenzie used his old trick and took advantage of the opportunity when the corpse was attracted and wanted to climb the rock. With a close-range Bone Fang, he took down the corpse.
[You have sessfully killed a [corpse], for a total of 5 Experience Points!]
At this time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level experience was already at 15/100.
But the third one didn¡¯t explode anything, and Dean McKenzie drained all his mana. At the same time, Doggy Two¡¯s situation was very bad.
Now, Dean McKenzie had two choices, one was to let Doggy Two lead the corpses away.
The other was to continue fighting.
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth and chose the second one. He threw the rock in his hand again.
This time, after throwing three stones, Dean McKenzie sessfully hit the target and attracted a corpse over.
The corpse was screaming again, trying to climb up the rock.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana was gone at this point, but he could only grit his teeth and fight back to the wall.
When the corpse was about to climb up, he held the Skeleton Wand and viciously stabbed the sharp tip of the wand into the corpse¡¯s eye.
¡°Puchi¡±
The skeleton wand burst the corpse¡¯s sses, but because Dean McKenzie only had 0.7 strength and was in a state of hunger, he couldn¡¯t directly pierce the corpse¡¯s brain. So this blow didn¡¯t kill the target directly.
The corpse was still snarling and even grabbed Dean McKenzie¡¯s arm, pulling him towards it.
Dean McKenzie clenched his teeth, gripped the wand tightly, and refused to let go.
With a ¡°puchi¡±, under the corpse¡¯s power, Dean McKenzie paid the price of having his arm scratched and pierced the corpse¡¯s brain.
[You sessfully killed a corpse, for a total of 5 Experience Points!]
As the system prompt sounded, a spot of light appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Finally, there was loot.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out his hand to grab it.
[You have activated a point of light and received a [Mana Potion](Tiny)!
A pale blue potion appears in front of Dean McKenzie.
¡
Name: Mana Potion (Tiny)
Usage Requirement: Level 1
Quality: Ordinary
Effect: Recovers 100 mana points within 2 minutes
¡
After checking the properties, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t hesitate and downed it in one gulp.
Potion consumed, strength surged instantly!
Mana started to recover at a second per second rate. Dean McKenzie was overjoyed and immediately started attacking with stones.
Perhaps because of the potion, Dean McKenzie¡¯s vitality also recovered a bit, and his aim improved; hitting two corpses with two stones.
After attracting the targets, more than ten seconds had passed, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana had recovered to 16 points.
Four secondster, two Bone Fang spell chants were sessful, taking care of these two.
Meanwhile, Little Skeleton, on Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, lured thest one over.
Dean McKenzie raised his hand and another projectile wasunched, taking down the fifth corpse.
After this wave, Dean McKenzie¡¯s experience points had risen to 40/100.
Regrettably, the remaining three corpses didn¡¯t drop anything.
In order to kill these three corpses, Dean McKenzie had used three Bone Fangs, consuming 24 Mana points. Only a short while after he had exhausted them, his mana was full again.
This was the first time Dean McKenzie encountered a situation where he had an abudance of mana that he could not fully use.
To avoid waste, Dean McKenzie quickly found a way to use it up.
[You used Talent [Extraction] on the corpse, sessfully extracting 0.1 Attack Attribute from the target!]
[You used Talent [Extraction] on the corpse, sessfully extracting 0.2 Agility Attribute from the target!]
[You used Talent [Extraction] on the corpse but failed!]
¡
60 Mana Points allowed Dean McKenzie to sessfully use the Talent three times.
Extracted a total of 0.3 Attribute points.
Once these attributes were extracted, two spheres of light appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
¡
Name: Extracted Attributes
Description: These are the attributes you¡¯ve extracted using Talent, please figure out how to use them on your own.
¡
Looking at these attributes, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
¡°Figure it out on my own?
How do I figure it out? Should I try applying it to myself?¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he pressed the two points of light towards his body.
The system notification refreshed again.
[You are using [Extracted Attributes]. Please note that at your current Talent Level, you can only enhance one target at a time. Please choose your target!]
With the system prompt, several choices appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Strength, Agility, Physique, Spirit, Attack, Defense, Mana]
These are the first seven, Dean McKenzie¡¯s seven basic attributes.
Apparently, until Dean McKenzie¡¯s Talent Level increases,
he can only choose to enhance one attribute.
Looking at these seven attributes, Dean McKenzie was somewhat hesitant.
While pondering whether to enhance [Spirit] or [Mana], Dean McKenzie found out that there seemed to be a next page of the options.
Dean McKenzie clicked to the next page and saw two new options.
One was the skill [Bone Fang]!
The other was the skill [Summon Skeleton]!
Seeing these two options, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up!
Chapter 8 - 8 Level 008 Upgrade
8 Level 008 Upgrade
Trantor: 549690339
Inparison to individual attribute extraction, using the extracted attributes on skills clearly offers a lot more bang for the buck.
After all, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t know if he can assign the agility and attack attributes he¡¯s extracted to spirit and mana.
Even if he can, they may be discounted.
Moreover, in his current state, even if the 0.3 attributes can be assigned to spirit or mana without any discounts, it doesn¡¯t seem like it would be that helpful.
But it¡¯s different when these attributes are added to skills.
¡°Doggy Two¡¯s speed is already a bit faster than the corpses. If I add 0.2 agility, leading the monsters will undoubtedly be much easier!¡±
Dean McKenzie made his decision almost as soon as he finished speaking.
[You have chosen the skill [Summon Skeleton] as the first target for assignment!]
[Since the skill you chose is special, you have to choose whether to assign it to the skill itself or to the summon!]
Just as Dean made one choice, another mmed in front of him.
¡°Assign it to the summon!¡±
Faced with a decision, Dean made a resolute choice.
He was well aware that if he chose the skill itself, in the long run, it would certainly be better than choosing the summon.
But as it stood, Dean didn¡¯t have a choice.
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush; it¡¯s best to enhance Doggy Two first.
[You chose [Summon] to assign, the attributes you extract next will be automatically assigned to your summon [Doggy Two]!]
[You have 0.1 Attack and 0.2 Agility attributes, would you like to assign them to [Doggy Two]?]
ps: This assignment will consume 300 Copper Coins!]
Dean was somewhat shocked by the system prompt that popped up.
¡°It¡¯s gonna cost money?¡±
He was a bit confused, but then he thought about it. Since he could earn money from monster ying, it seemed reasonable that a talent would consume money.
Looking at the money he¡¯d earned from ying the hard-haired rat earlier, Dean decided to ssh out.
[You have spent 300 Copper Coins to sessfully assign your extracted attributes to your summon [Doggy Two].]
[Your summon [Doggy Two] has received an attribute boost!]
[You havepleted the summon assignment, the summon is bound to you at a deeper level, maintaining the summon no longer requires mana, you can summon this skeleton at any time!]
Hearing the Golden Finger¡¯s prompt, Dean hurriedly called Doggy Two over to have a look.
But apart from the attribute upgrade, Doggy Two seemed to be unchanged.
¡°Although I can¡¯t see any visible changes, it should be enhanced, right?
Let¡¯s get back to work!¡±
After scratching his head, Dean decisively gave the order to get back to work.
Thanks to the good start from the previous two waves, Dean had umted substantial experience, and had just consumed a potion.
Although the efficacy of the potion was almost over, it had one invisible benefit¡ªit slightly relieved his hunger and restored some vitality.
With Doggy Two slightly enhanced, progress was significantly smoother.
During the third wave, Doggy Two lured over two corpses.
Dean easily killed them, using only a single Bone Fang.
He was lucky¡ªthis wave also dropped some loot and he got 100 Copper Coins. Dean¡¯s mana was now at 13 and his experience points had reached [50/100].
After briefly resting and regaining 16 mana points, Doggy Two was dispatched again.
After this, Doggy Two seemed to be gradually getting the hang of luring the monsters.
The fourth, fifth and sixth waves all saw Doggy Two luring back a single corpse.
Facing a solo corpse, in order to conserve mana, Dean directly used the magic wand. Assisted by Doggy Two, he sessfully in three corpses without consuming mana.
The cost was that both Dean and Doggy Two got slightly injured.
The reward was that Dean¡¯s experience points reached [65/100], and the sixth wave of corpses dropped another [Mana Potion] (Small) for Dean.
Holding the potion in his hand, Dean McKenzie¡¯s sense of security instantly escted. He felt he could go for something bigger.
¡°No, no, I can¡¯t be too impulsive!
Right now, I can only handle seven or eight regr corpses at most.
If Doggy Two lures over too many at once, then I¡¯m in trouble.
Besides, there are about seventy or eighty corpses in that swarm. With such quantities, there might be a boss among them.
Therefore, the more I see the hope of victory, the more I have to stay grounded. I absolutely cannot get carried away!¡±
Next, Dean McKenzie does as he says and bes even more careful.
However, as he has a potion in hand, and he is already very hungry.
In the following battles, Dean McKenzie primarily uses [Bone Fang] to end the fights.
[You have killed [corpse] 1, gaining a total of 5 experience points!]
[You have killed [corpse] 1, gaining a total of 5 experience points!]
[You have used [Mana Potion] (tiny)!]
[You used [Talent] 4 times, seeded 3 times, gained 0.4 Agility, 0.1 Attack, 0.1 Defense!]
[You have spent 600 Copper Coins to obtain!]
¡
Soon, Dean McKenzie has once again used the [Mana Potion] to finish the fight.
While bringing his Experience Points to [75/100], he has also enhanced Doggy Two¡¯s attributes.
At this moment, Doggy Two¡¯s attributes have improved a lot.
¡
Name: Pale Skeleton (Doggy Two)
Level: Level 3
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 1.2, Agility: 1.6, Physique: 0.8
Attack: 1.4
Defense: 0.5
Skill: None
Description: This is a qualified cannon fodder
¡
Doggy Two¡¯s agility, which increased the most, has gone up by sixty percent. Its original agility of 1 was faster than the corpse. Now, with an agility of 1.6, it can easily defeat the corpse.
After Doggy Two¡¯s speed advantage increased, Dean McKenzie considered adjusting his approach.
Next, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t rush Doggy Two to attack, but found a stick as a weapon for Doggy Two. Dean McKenzie then began directing Doggy Two in various exercises.
Of course, as Dean McKenzie was hungry and short of time, he only had Doggy Two practice for a few minutes before sending him out to fight.
This time, Dean McKenzie did noty on the rock but apanied Doggy Two on the attack.
In the perimeter of the corpse swarm, Dean McKenzie found a rtively safer position with a suitable field of vision. He hid there and directed Doggy Two to attack.
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Doggy Two¡¯s decoy was smoother.
He masterfully lured a corpse, brought it out of the corpse swarm, brought it to Dean McKenzie, then immediately ordered Doggy Two to attack. A side step, a swing of the stick in hand, a ¡°p¡± on the corpse¡¯s body.
The sound was loud, but it didn¡¯t cause damage.
The corpse was about to counter-attack when a Bone Fang went precisely into its eye socket, finishing the corpse.
¡°Again!¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two continued to lure and kill.
Their teamwork was improving constantly.
On the first one, Doggy Two didn¡¯t deal any damage, on the second one, Doggy Two urately hit the corpse¡¯s knee making it fall.
But failed to seize the opportunity to kill it. The corpse managed to get up, Dean McKenzie had to use the Bone Fang to end the fight.
On the third one, Dean McKenzie¡¯smand to Doggy Two improved.
This time, they were able to knock down the corpse. With Dean McKenzie¡¯s support, Doggy Two managed to kill the corpse without using the Bone Fang.
From the fifth corpse onwards, Doggy Two was able to defeat the corpses using its Agility and Dean McKenzie¡¯smands.
While it was fighting, Dean McKenzie leveled up.
[You sessfully killed a corpse, gaining a total of 5 experience points!]
[Your level has increased to Level 2, your Spirit has increased by 0.5 points, your Mana limit has increased to 26 points!]
¡
Thanks for the 500 golden point reward from [Ming Jun]!
The new book is out, requesting monthly passes, and rmendation letters!
Chapter 9 - 9 009 BOSS
9 009 BOSS
Trantor: 549690339
With a level increase, Dean McKenzie gained 0.5 spirit and 5 mana points.
Also, Dean McKenzie¡¯s depleted mana was fully recovered to 26 points.
Beyond that, there weren¡¯t any other benefits.
The gains were much smaller than Dean McKenzie had anticipated.
Fortunately, from the beginning, Dean McKenzie had no intention of relying solely on leveling up to conquer his enemies.
In any case, his new strategy centering around Doggy Two was already set in motion.
What Dean McKenzie needed to do next was to refine this strategy.
Then, using this strategy, he would slowly wipe out the Corpse Swarm.
[You have sessfully used Talent [Extraction] on the corpse, and extracted 0.2 Agility!]
[You consumed 200 Copper Coins and granted 0.2 Agility to your summon, Doggy Two!]
¡
After leveling up, Doggy Two¡¯s agility has further increased to 1.8.
Dean McKenzie is back in action.
He is fully concentrating on controlling Doggy Two to lure and kill the monsters!
As Doggy Two¡¯s agility increased,bined with Dean McKenzie¡¯s improvedmand skills.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s strategy with Doggy Two at the core is maturing progressively.
On average, every two to three minutes, Dean McKenzie was able tomand Doggy Two to kill a corpse individually.
However, after leveling up, the experience points Dean McKenzie received from killing corpses decreased.
The original 5 points per corpse was now only 4 points per corpse.
In other words, Dean McKenzie needed to kill 38 corpses in order to level up.
Of course, based on Dean McKenzie¡¯s current monster hunting speed, it would only take about one to two hours to kill 38 corpses.
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s meticulousmand.
The corpses kept falling under Doggy Two¡¯s cudgel, and his experience points continued to rise.
In less than an hour, they had dealt with almost 20 corpses.
The size of the Corpse Swarm visibly decreased, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s experience points skyrocketed.
The only thing that slightly soured Dean McKenzie¡¯s mood was.
It seemed that his drop rate had decreased along with his level increase.
Out of nearly 20 corpses, they only managed to loot three shiny spots.
Two of the light spots were worth 100 Copper Coins.
The remaining light spot was a small [Life Potion].
¡
Potion: Life Potion (Minor)
Use level: Level 1
Effect: After use, it can heal injuries below 5 physique points, and recover some physical strength.
¡
Even though it wasn¡¯t what Dean McKenzie wanted the most, it was still something he needed at the moment.
After all, he was currently injured.
However, having obtained the healing potion, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t use it right away.
He felt that this item shouldn¡¯t be carelessly used as it could serve as a lifesaving recourse.
Hence, Dean McKenzie carefully stored the potion away, and continued to hunt monsters with Doggy Two.
However, their good fortunes didn¡¯tst long.
Shortly after, Dean McKenzie encountered a tricky obstacle.
The corpses within fifty meters of the small broken house had beenpletely cleared by him.
The remaining corpses were all concentrated within the fifty-meter range of the small broken house.
In other words, from now on, Dean McKenzie no longer had the condition of luring the creatures one by one.
As soon as he got within the 50-meter radius, it bes a relentless battle.
¡°Has ite to this already?¡±
Dean McKenzie had anticipated this situation, and had long nned the strategy for it.
Without wasting any more time, he started his preparations.
Calling Doggy Two back, Dean McKenzie directed Doggy Two to dig pits on the Rotting Corpse in with its bone ws.
These pits weren¡¯t big, with diameters of around twenty to thirty centimeters and depths of around one meter.
With Doggy Two¡¯s 1.4 attack and 1.8 agility, coupled with the rtively soft soil of the Rotting Corpse in, Doggy Two managed to prepare hundreds of pits in three spots in about two hours.
After Doggy Two had set up the traps, Dean McKenzie, drawing a deep breath, patted Doggy Two¡¯s head!
¡°Go ahead, whether we can pull this off depends on this round!
If we seed this time, I¡¯ll treat you to the finest food and drinks in the future!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s promises didn¡¯t affect Doggy Two at all, after all, it couldn¡¯t understand him.
Then, under Dean¡¯smand, Little Skeleton moved within 50 meters of the small broken house.
As soon as Doggy Two entered that range, an instant eruption, the corpses within the range charged towards Doggy Two like a swarm of bees.
Neither Doggy Two nor Dean McKenzie were flustered by this situation.
After all, it was Doggy Two, not Dean, that was being chased, and Doggy Two was silly, so they were not panicking.
Dean calmly directed Doggy Two to retract, backing towards the area where the traps were set.
He stood their waiting for the roaring Corpse Swarm.
¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡±
The equally silly corpses did not avoid any traps, even if there was a clear pit in front of them.
In one round, more than a dozen corpses fell from the pits.
¡°Run!¡±
Dean decisively ordered, directing Doggy Two to start running. An advantage of 1.8 Agility exploded, leading the Corpse Swarm in a circle.
The route they took was carefully nned by Dean.
Quickly enough, Doggy Two led them all to the pits with the traps.
Under Dean¡¯s direction, Doggy Two passed the trap, while the Corpse Swarm behind him went through it again.
This time not many corpses fell into the pit, but the original corpses that fell into it were unfortunate, getting stepped on straight away.
A few were trampled to death on the spot.
[You have killed 6 ¡®Corpses¡¯. Earned 24 Experience Points!]
Dean¡¯s experience points went up to [104/150].
As for the Corpse Swarm, aside from those killed, there were still about 30 or 40 corpses injured.
Bring it on!
Under Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Two led them towards another pile of traps.
The story repeated itself.
[You have sessfully killed 7 ¡®Corpses¡¯. Earned 28 Experience Points!]
[You have sessfully killed 4 ¡®Corpses¡¯. Earned 16 Experience Points!]
After three waves of traps, Dean¡¯s experience points had reached [148/150].
Right on the edge of leveling up.
After three traps, the Corpse Swarm had been falling behind in numbers, and there were only a handful of corpses following Doggy Two.
Among them was one that was muchrger than the regr corpses.
The real challenging fight was about to begin.
Dean gritted his teeth and gave themand!
¡°Pull them over this way!¡±
Under Dean¡¯s order, Doggy Two pulled the corpses over to him, while Dean was prepared to take a shot with the rock in his hand.
Dean had already thrown rocks several times today, but this was the most nerve-wracking one.
¡°I must not hit the big one, I must not hit the big one!¡±
Dean didn¡¯t have too much confidence in his abilities. He was not sure how many times he had missed today, and if he hit the big one, his life would be at stake.
But he had to throw.
¡°Then I can only aim at that big guy!¡±
Dean said as he gritted his teeth and threw the rock at the big guy.
¡°Bang!¡± It hit one of the normal corpses next to it and attracted it over.
Dean was overjoyed.
¡°With the power of death, create the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
He chanted and a precise bone tooth was shot out, hitting the eye of a corpse that was about five meters in front of him.
[You have sessfully killed 1 ¡®Corpse¡¯. Earned 4 Experience Points!]
[Your level has increased to 3. Your ¡®Spirit¡¯ has increased by 0.5, your ¡®Mana¡¯ limit is now 31 points]
[You¡¯ve leveled up to level 3, triggering the Necromancer Apprentice¡¯s skill. You have unlocked the ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ skill!]
[Your ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ skill has increased to Level 2!]
¡
The system prompt was constantly refreshing, and the running Doggy Two suddenly shone brightly
¡
Thanks to [Yellow Tiger Left] for the reward of 1800 starting coins!

Rotting Corpse in.
As the system notification refreshed, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind buzzed.
In his trance, he seemed to see a ck energy sphere with three remaining light spots. Immediately, one of the light spots lit up and a surge of information rushed into Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s consciousness returned to reality in an instant, and at the same time, the new attribute of [Summon Skeleton] appeared before his eyes.
¡
Skill: Summon Skeleton
Level: Level 1 +1
Incantation: Servant of bone, the Immortal, explore the truth of death
Effect: Summons a level 4 undead creature (skeleton)
Simultaneously exist: 1/2
Mana Consumption: 15 points/one (summon) (1 point/half-hour/one) (maintenance)
¡
Looking at these stats, Dean McKenzie subconsciously checked Doggy Two¡¯s attributes.
This nce revealed that Doggy Two¡¯s attributes had indeed changed.
¡
Name: Pale Skeleton
Level: Level 4 (78%)
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 1.6
Defense: 0.55
Skills: None
Description: This is a qualified cannon fodder
¡
Its level went up 1, strength has increased by 0.2, agility has increased by 0.2, physique has increased by 0.1.
The attribute points gained from the level up were the same as Dean McKenzie¡¯s, both were 0.5.
This gave Dean McKenzie a vague sense of unease.
After all, the skeletons are system-certified small fry. If he gained the same attributes as small fry when he leveled up, does it imply that his ss, or perhaps because he took a shortcut to change his ss, he turned his profession into a small fry one?
And about those three light points he saw earlier. If they all were skill inheritances, does this mean that he has only two skill inheritances left now?
With this thought, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mood became even moreplicated.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie was quite good at adjusting his mentality.
¡°Whether it¡¯s a small fry or not is a matter forter. The most important thing right now is to deal with these zombies in front of me!¡±
After adjusting his mentality, Dean McKenzie turned his gaze back to Doggy Two.
He lifted his hand and summoned another skeleton.
Dean McKenzie looked around and saw that the newly summoned skeleton had different attributes from Doggy Two.
¡
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 1.2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 1.4, Defense: 0.45.
¡
The attributes didn¡¯t have any enhancements.
However, this was within Dean McKenzie¡¯s expectations.
¡°That¡¯s just about right, usable.¡±
With the experience of operating Doggy Two to kill more than 20 zombies, Dean McKenzie had perfected hismand over the skeleton.
Once again he threw a stone, attracting another zombie.
¡°Go, Doggy Three!¡±
With a wave of his hand, Dean McKenzie directed the newly emerged Doggy Three to face the zombie.
Within a few moves, the zombie was taken care of, and he gained 3 experience points.
Afterward, Dean McKenzie repeated his trick, sessively taking care of the remaining zombies, except for the towering one.
For the ones behind, to urately attract the rotting corpses and not the big guy, Dean McKenzie mostly uses Bone Fang to draw them out.
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s stone-throwing uracy isn¡¯t the best, Bone Fang is, after all, a skill; its trajectory is straight and somewhat guided, making Dean McKenzie¡¯s aim much stronger.
With nail-biting suspense, he lured all the normal rotting corpses over and killed them one by one.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie was lucky; those six rotting corpses dropped a small [Mana Potion].
This made Dean much more confident when finally facing the big guy.
¡°Only this guy is left. Although I¡¯m unsure about its specific attributes, I can confirm that its agility doesn¡¯t exceed 1.2.
With caution, and with Doggy Two and Doggy Three, and a bottle of [Mana Potion], we should have about 45% chance of winning. Round it off, and we should be almost guaranteed sess. Let¡¯s do it!¡±
As Dean McKenzie said this, he raised his magic wand.
¡°With the Power of Death, forge the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
After multiple chants, Dean McKenzie had be skilled in it. Hepleted the chant on just over a second, unleashing a Bone Fang heading straight for the big guy. With a squelching sound, it urately hit the opponent¡¯s left eye.
The system notification quickly updated.
[You have angered the [Thick-skinned Rotting Corpse] (Elite)!]
Seeing this notification from the Golden Finger, Dean McKenzie had a vague feeling of foreboding.
As expected, a roar soon echoed, and therge [Thick-skinned Rotting Corpse] rushed towards him.
Dean McKenzie clearly saw that his Bone Fang stabbed into its eye, only going in about a centimeter.
This kind of injury was probably only a minor one for it.
¡°With the Power of Death, forge the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
Facing the fast-approaching big guy, Dean McKenziemanded Doggy Two and Doggy Three while unleashing yet another Bone Fang.
It surprisingly hit urately on the previously embedded Bone Fang in the big guy¡¯s left eye, driving it another centimeter in.
Now, the big guy was slightly injured. He let out a mournful howl, but still was not incapacitated.
By the time the second Bone Fang was fired, the big guy was less than two meters away from Dean McKenzie. Despite the enemy at close quarters, Dean McKenzie was unfazed and raised his wand to chant again.
¡°With the Power of Death¡!¡±
Before he could finish his chant, the big guy had already reached Dean McKenzie with his ws within striking distance.
¡°Thump!¡± ¡°Thump!¡±
Two crashing sounds urred at once.
Doggy Two and Doggy Three hit the big guy¡¯s body from the left and right simultaneously.
If it was simply based on Doggy Two and Doggy Three¡¯s power, they wouldn¡¯t be able to shake the big guy even if they were tied together.
But their timing of impact was extremely clever, exactly when the big guy was airborne.
The ces they hit were even more ingenious.
Doggy Two leaped and hit the upper half of the big guy¡¯s body, while Doggy Three lunged at the lower half.
With perfect synergy, they sent the nearby big guy toppling over, buying Dean McKenzie enough time to finish his chant.
¡°Forge the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
As he finished the chant, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Skeleton Wand was practically pressed against the Bone Fang embedded in the big guy¡¯s left eye.
¡°Squelch!¡±
With a heavy impact, the Bone Fang which was already inside the big guy¡¯s eyeball was thrust a further two or three centimeters in.
Ordinary rotting corpses would have been beheaded with a single hit to the eye, but this big guy took three blows and there still was no system notification regarding its death in front of Dean McKenzie.
¡°Still not dead? This is trouble!¡±
Dean McKenzie frowned, and without hesitation, pulled out a small [Life Potion] and [Mana Potion] and downed them at once.
Then, despite Doggy Two and Doggy Three being flung away by the roaring big guy while he was consuming the potions, Dean McKenzie continued to chant [Bone Fang].
¡°With the Power of Death, ¡¡±
¡°Squelch!¡± Dean McKenzie¡¯s shoulder got pierced by the big guy¡¯s w.
Dean McKenzie was drawn towards the big guy, who had his neck gripped in its jaws.
Throughout the ordeal, Dean McKenzie did not resist, fervently continuing his chant.
¡°Forging the Tooth of Destruction!¡±
Another Bone Fangnded on the big guy¡¯s left eye, and finally, with this hit, therge figure froze.
The system notification refreshed at that moment¡
¡
Thank you [Three-Five Luring Me into the Pit] for your support!
Chapter 11 - 11 011 Income
11 011 Ie
Trantor: 549690339
[You have sessfully killed the [Thick-skinned Corpse] (Elite), gaining 30 Experience Points!]
With the refreshing system prompt.
Two glowing points burst out of the giant in front of Dean McKenzie, at the same time, its enormous body copsed suddenly because of the loss of strength, crashing onto McKenzie¡¯s body.
Such a pressure almost crushed Dean McKenzie¡¯s small frame to smithereens.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie had wisely drunk a bottle of [Life Potion] (Tiny) beforehand.
This potion saved his life.
Not only did it keep Dean McKenzie from being crushed, but it was also rapidly healing the injuries on his body.
Quickly, Dean McKenzie, who was on the brink of death, was surprisingly brought back to life by a potion.
He even felt rejuvenated, which made Dean McKenzie amazed.
¡°Life Potions, terrifying indeed!
Oh yeah, I also have a Mana Potion!¡±
As his body rejuvenated, he felt a surge of energy building up within, almost ready to burst.
Scared, Dean McKenzie immediately raised his hand and fired at the giant in front of him to relieve this internal pressure.
[You¡¯ve sessfully used the Talent [Extraction] on the [Thick-skinned Corpse], obtaining 0.5 Physique, 0.5 Defense, and [Elite Temte Fragments]!]
A boss was indeed a boss; it provided Dean McKenzie with a full point of attribute points and even a never-before-seen [Elite Temte Fragment].
Just as Dean McKenzie was about to examine what the [Elite Temte Fragment] was, roars from corpses echoed from the side.
Those zombies who had fallen behind before had caught up.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie quickly got up to confront the enemy.
After dealing with the boss, the remaining corpses were hardly a concern for Dean McKenzie.
Despite the significant number of remaining corpses, with the cooperation of Doggy Two and Doggy Three, they were able to take care of these creatures in only about ten minutes.
¡°Finally, it¡¯s taken care of!¡±
Only after all the corpses had been dealt with, Dean McKenzie let out a sigh of relief.
He and the two doggies began to clean up the battlefield, picking up the radiant orbs that had burst out one by one.
Dozens of corpses had yielded seven glowing points for Dean McKenzie, including two contributed by the boss. The drop rate seemed quite low.
Out of the seven glowing points, Dean McKenzie obtained three silver coins, 300 copper coins, a bottle of [Mana Potion] (Tiny), and one piece of equipment.
¡
Equipment: Rotten Leather Armor
Level: Level 5
Equip Requirement: Warrior
Durability: 250/250
Effects:
1, Increases Defense by 4
2, Rot Poison (Level 1) (15% chance to trigger Rot Poison on attackers, causing a body part to decay.
ps: Physique greater than 10 will immunize this effect.)
¡
This equipment, well, was quite good.
If Dean McKenzie could wear it, the high 4-point Defense would make him feel secure, but unfortunately, the Leather Armor can only be worn by warriors, which was pretty unfortunate.
¡°I wonder if Doggy Two can wear it.¡±
Dean McKenzie pondered before calling over Doggy Two and having it try on the leather armor.
What delighted Dean McKenzie was that it could wear it.
After putting it on, Doggy Two, who was originally cute and chubby, looked somewhat majestic.
¡°Nice, very nice. This way, this piece of equipment is not wasted!¡±
Giving a satisfying pat on Doggy Two¡¯s skeleton head, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes moved over to the shabby little house.
Looking at the fountain, the Bread Tree, and the wooden box, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. After nearly a day of struggle, he finally got them.
But, although victory was in sight, he still cautiously sent Doggy Three first to scout.
After using Doggy Three to test for safety, then Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two approached the shabby house.
[You¡¯ve discovered a [Pure Spring Water] (Level 1)!]
[You¡¯ve discovered a [Bread Tree] (Level 1)!]
[You¡¯ve discovered a [Wooden Chest]!]
¡
Aside from these three system prompts, Dean McKenzie also saw three straightforward attribute descriptions.
¡
Pure Spring Water: Drinking can slowly heal injuries and recover mana.
(Effective for those with a Physique below 5, drinking 100 ml of spring water recovers 60 mana points per minute)
Bread Tree: A special fruit tree with bread, Level 1 Bread fruits can satiate beings with a Physique below 5 and restore stamina.
Wooden Chest: You can try opening it. It may be empty, or it may bring you a great surprise.
¡
After scanning the three attribute descriptions, Dean McKenzie first opened the [Wooden Chest].
[You¡¯ve opened a [Wooden Chest], obtaining amon Skill Book [Appraisal Skill]!]
A book appeared in front of Dean McKenzie, along with a straightforward attribute description.
¡
Skill Book: Appraisal Skill
Learning Requirement: None
Description: A Skill Book usable by any ss
¡
Dean McKenzie scanned it and made no hesitation, learning this Skill immediately.
[You¡¯ve used the Skill Book [Appraisal Skill], sessfully learning the Skill [Appraisal Skill]!]
¡
Skill: Appraisal Skill
Level: Level 1 (0/100)
Chant: Existence leaves a trace, Truth cannot hide
Mana Consumption: 3 points
Effect: After casting, there¡¯s a 30% chance to view target¡¯s attributes
ps: if target¡¯s level and attributes greatly exceed yours, your sess rate will be far less than 30%.
¡
Looking at this Skill description, Dean McKenzie nodded his head in satisfaction, ¡°Not bad, an additional scouting Skill. With this Skill, I can gain an informational advantage in future battles. Unlike before, I had to fight with my life on the line.¡±
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie started to get busy.
Whilst stuffing Bread fruits into his mouth from the Bread Tree, he fills a potion bottle with [Pure Spring Water] and drinks it all up.
After eating the Bread Fruits and drinking the [Pure Spring Water], Dean McKenzie¡¯s hunger vanished, and he felt invigorated again.
Later, his eyes started perusing the corpses littering the ground.
Looking at the plentiful corpses, then back to the almost ten thousand milliliters of [Pure Spring Water], Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but smile.
At this moment, he knew clearly that his time on the Rotting Corpse in, possibly the hardest starting part of his career, was about to pass.
If he could start by taking down a Corpse Swarm in his current state, wouldn¡¯t he just take off after strengthening Doggy Two?
¡°If everything goes smoothly, then the time for quick progress is just around the corner.¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie took a big step towards the scattered corpses.
The system prompts started refreshing at this moment¡
Chapter 12 - 12 012 Reward Settlement
12 012 Reward Settlement
Trantor: 549690339
Rotting Corpse in.
Outside the small broken house.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure was constantly bustling around, like a hardworking little bee, darting in and out among the corpses. The system reminders updated alongside Dean McKenzie¡¯s activity.
[You have sessfully used the talent [Extraction], and extracted 0.1 attack!]
[You have sessfully used the talent [Extraction], and extracted 0.2 agility!]
[You have spent 200 Copper Coins, your summoned creature [Doggy Two]¡¯s agility increased by 0.2!]
[You have drunk [Pure Spring Water]!]
¡
Once extraction has been sessfully performed on a corpse, it can¡¯t be performed a second time. However, if the extraction fails, extraction can be performed until it is sessful.
In half an hour, Dean McKenzie had forcefully performed [Extraction] 81 times.
He had drunk 2700 ml of [Pure Spring Water].
Filling up a five-pound container almost induced Dean to vomit from overdrinking.
By the end, his face had turned pale and his belly looked like a water-filled balloon.
For the first time, he realised drinking water could be such a painful ordeal.
Of course, Dean¡¯s effort wasn¡¯t in vain. In just half an hour, Doggy Two¡¯s attribute points changed dramatically.
¡
Name: Pale Skeleton
Level: Level 4 (88 percent)
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 2.2, agility: 3.5, physique: 1.4
Attack: 2.4
Defense: 1.3
Skill: None
¡
Upon seeing this, Dean had exhausted all the money in his pocket to enhance Doggy Two¡¯s capabilities.
It could be said that Doggy Two¡¯s strength had undergone an epic level upgrade.
Dean estimated that despite a slight difference, Doggy Two¡¯s attributes were almost no less than that of the elite corpse.
However, Dean¡¯s gains in this half-hour did not stop there.
Talent: Extraction (Level 1) (4.7/1000)
This showed the proficiency level of Dean¡¯s talent.
It had increased by 4.7, this proficiency increase came as a result of Dean consuming the unused attributes extracted.
Yes, the extracted attributes could be expended to improve talent proficiency.
The reason Dean chose to consume these attributes to improve talent proficiency was that the extracted attributes couldn¡¯t be stored indefinitely.
These attributes had a time limit. If not used within half an hour, the ordinary extracted attributes would disperse. Therefore, Dean had no choice but to use them to improve his talent proficiency.
Certainly, not all extracted things would disperse if not used in half an hour.
At least not the [Elite Temte Fragments]!
¡
Name: Elite Temte Fragment (1/3)
Description: If you gather three fragments, you can merge them into an Elite Temte. This temte can be applied to your ordinary temte-imbued targets. There¡¯s a chance that the target¡¯s temte could be elevated to the elite level.
¡
Dean wasn¡¯t sure what an Elite Temte was exactly.
But he knew for sure that it was a good thing.
Therefore, Dean pondered.
¡°I¡¯ll rest and regroup here in the broken house. After replenishing my energy, I¡¯ll set off again. I aim to merge into an Elite Temte before leaving the Rotting Corpse in!¡±
After making this resolution, Dean rested in the broken house.
For one, he had been in the Rotting Corpse in for arge part of the day. His body and mind had been under constant strain, and his body had suffered several serious injuries.
Although his physical health had recovered due to the effects of the minuscule [Life Potion] and [Pure Spring Water], his mental fatigue hadn¡¯t eased.
Furthermore, in half an hour he had forcibly consumed more than five pounds of pure spring water, which caused Dean to rest for more than ten hours in the small broken house before he finally recovered.
Once he was recovered, he set out again with Doggy Two and Doggy Three, his ambition renewed.
With his level and power greatly increased, he was ready to make a significant move.
At the very least, he intended to merge the Elite Temte within the remaining time.
At least, that was what Dean had nned before setting out.
But when he did set out, he discovered that he had oversimplified things.
Indeed, his power had increased significantly from the beginning, but it was far from being so powerful that he could do whatever he wanted.
After leaving the small broken house, Dean encountered two more corpse swarms.
When he first discovered the corpse swarms, he was very excited and prepared to engage.
He had even put his ns into action.
But reality quickly got in the way.
The boss of the second corpse swarm was a corpse that could spray pus, and it could spray it from a great distance, as far as twenty or thirty meters.
Doggy Three, whom Dean had sent to test the waters, was carried off by a mouthful of phlegm, due to his unfortunate luck.
When Dean discovered that the boss of the second swarm had a ranged attack, he immediately gave up on the second corpse swarm.
Then came the third corpse swarm. The boss of the third corpse swarm didn¡¯t have a long-range attack. However, it was an agility-based corpse, very fast, even faster than the enhanced Doggy Two.
After losing another skeleton, Dean also gave up on the third corpse swarm.
After continuously giving up on two corpse swarms, Dean realized how extraordinarily lucky he had been.
If the boss of the first swarm he encountered hadn¡¯t been defense-oriented, he might not have survived the first swarm.
Of course, on the other hand, if he had encountered these two bosses during the first Swarm, he might not have given up.
After all, in that situation, giving up probably meant death.
He had to, and could only try to contend.
Not like now, in fact, if Dean really wanted to risk his life, he wouldn¡¯t have beenpletely out of chance against the second and third corpse swarms.
But Dean didn¡¯t want to.
After all, only those who have nothing left would stake everything.
In a situation where there were choices, normal people would generally act in their own best interests.
Dean was no exception.
He had be a professional with great difficulty. In a situation where he had a choice, he was not willing to risk his life casually.
His talent allowed him to grow steadily; there was no need to risk his life!
So, Dean roamed around for more than a day, killing only two or three solitary corpses. His talent proficiency increased to [5.7/1000].
As for Doggy Two¡¯s enhancement? There was none. Mainly because Dean was unlucky and didn¡¯t make any money.
The three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Once time was up, the system reminder refreshed as expected in front of Dean¡¯s eyes.
[Ding, you have survived more than 3 days in the Rotting Corpse in. You have obtained the permission to leave the Rotting Corpse in. Do you want to open the Secret Realm performance settlement and leave the Rotting Corpse in?]
Looking at the system notice popping up, Dean knew that his first sub-level was about to end.
Looking with slight regret at the foul-smelling in in front of him, Dean nodded decisively.
¡°Yes!¡±
The system notice continued to refresh with Dean¡¯s nod.
[You have opened the Secret Realm reward settlement!]
[You survived for 3 days in the [Rotting Corpse in], obtaining a basic F-level evaluation!]
[You entered the [Rotting Corpse in] at initial level 1, evaluation increased to D-level!]
[You cleared a Swarm of corpses, evaluation increased to B-level!]
[In the end, you obtained a B-level evaluation, and you will obtain the following rewards¡]
Chapter 13 - 13 013 Return
13 013 Return
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, headquarters of the Professional Alliance Spring City Branch.
Ennis Hawkins, yes, the good-hearted uncle whom Dean McKenzie had met earlier in the sewer, was nervously waiting.
Today was the third day he had sent Dean McKenzie into the Rotting Corpse in.
Whether or not Dean McKenzie could survive the Rotting Corpse in would be clear today.
As such, Ennis Hawkins was somewhat anxious.
He was worried Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t make it out.
After all, it was a matter of life and death, not to mention, Dean McKenzie¡¯s survival had consequences on the mission he was entrusted with.
If Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t make it out of the Rotting Corpse in, not only would his mission be deemed a failure, but he himself would be held ountable.
So, it goes without saying how Ennis Hawkins was feeling now.
¡°Bang!¡±
Just as Ennis Hawkins was tense, the door of his room was knocked suddenly.
¡°Come in¡¡±
Before Ennis Hawkins could finish his sentence, the door was pushed open and a tall figure strolled inmandingly.
¡°Why is it you?¡±
Seeing the person that entered, Ennis Hawkins changed hisplexion, instinctively standing up.
The tall figure in the doorway strolled in without courtesy, sat in Ennis Hawkins¡¯s original position, leaned back casually, stretching her chest out, making her curves more imposing than her aura, a pair of strikingly long legs spread out on the coffee table in front of her.
Simultaneously, she threw the handcuffs she had on her onto the coffee table and then raised her chin toward Ennis Hawkins.
¡°Ennis Hawkins, in the capacity of a silver-tier agent of the Professional Alliance, I summon you because of your negligence during the ¡®Book of Dark Promotion¡¯ mission. Put these on yourself!¡±
The color drained from Ennis Hawkins¡¯s face as he hastily began to exin, ¡°Breanna Holt, I deployed the ¡®Book of Dark Promotion¡¯ in my uing mission, and I¡¯ve already submitted the n to the branch president¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ve seen your n!¡±
Ennis Hawkins¡¯s words were cut off before he could finish.
As she spoke, Breanna Holt tossed a stack of nning documents onto the coffee table.
¡°You handed the ¡®Book of Dark Promotion¡¯ to amoner who was saved from the Evil Cultists just half a year ago, and let him be a Dark Professional to attract the hidden Evil Cultists within Spring City.
Have to say, your n is¡¡±
Pausing here, Breanna Holt straightened up, fixing her gaze on Ennis Hawkins as she spat out each word, ¡°Utter crap!¡±
Instinctively, Ennis Hawkins nodded in agreement.
He knew that his so-called n was just something the branch president hatched out to protect him.
It was basically just for show.
Yet, he couldn¡¯t back down now otherwise, he would put the branch president in a tough spot.
¡°This is our branch¡¯s n, how it goes has nothing to do with you or the Mirror Stand, does it?¡±
Looking around, Breanna Holt lifted her chin, ¡°How your n goes indeed has nothing to do with the Mirror Stand, but once your n fails, we are involved!
ording to your n, the key person in question should be returning from the ¡®Rotting Corpse in¡¯ dungeon, right?
Where is he?¡±
This question only added to Ennis Hawkins¡¯s pressure.
The woman was clearly set on pinning him down.
If Dean McKenzie failed to emerge from the Rotting Corpse in, he feared he would have no choice but to make a trip to the Mirror Stand today.
¡°It¡¯s not time yet, we need to wait a little longer.¡±
¡°No problem, I can wait!¡±
Breanna Holt was behaving as if she had Ennis Hawkins cornered. She seemed to have no belief that Dean McKenzie could ever make it out of the Rotting Corpse in.
Truthfully, not only Breanna Holt, but even Ennis Hawkins himself didn¡¯t have much confidence in this.
Time passed bit by bit in the silence between them.
Ten minutester, a scroll suddenly appeared in Ennis Hawkins¡¯s hand.
This scroll, which appeared out of thin air, made Ennis Hawkins¡¯s heartbeat skyrocket in an instant.
He knew the time to reveal the results had arrived.
The more it got to this point, the more anxious Ennis Hawkins became, so much so that he couldn¡¯t open it all at once.
Over to the side, Breanna Holt scoffed, ¡°What, lost faith in your choice so soon? Do you want me to open it for you?¡±
¡°No need!¡±
Under the pressure of Breanna Holt, Ennis Hawkins unrolled the scroll, checking thepletion status of the challenge run.
[The challenger has finished the survival challenge of the Rotting Corpse in, the reward calction is underway, please wait!]
The system prompt refreshed at the same moment the scroll was unfurled.
Hearing this system prompt, Ennis Hawkins finally let out a long sigh of relief.
¡°Ms. Holt, you heard that, I¡¡±
¡°Congrattions, you won¡¯t have to apany me to the Mirror Stand for now!¡±
Breanna Holt interrupted Ennis Hawkins again, but he didn¡¯t mind this interruption at all.
¡°Then please take your leave, Ms. Holt.¡±
¡°Who said I was leaving?¡±
Ennis Hawkins was eager to bid farewell to the guest, but Breanna Holt had no intention of leaving.
¡°But, Ms. Holt, I have to¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not here solely because of you!¡±
Breanna Holt narrowed her eyes, gazing at the scroll in Ennis Hawkins¡¯ hand.
At this moment, a letter [B] appeared on Ennis Hawkins¡¯ scroll.
Seeing that letter, Breanna Holt¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°A B-grade reward evaluation, that¡¯s pretty high. I originally thought your ridiculous sense of mercy had recklessly red up again, but it appears not to be the case this time. No, you should still have the overflow of mercy, although you just happened to stumble upon a good seedling.
Since it¡¯s a B-grade reward evaluation, that Dean McKenzied must have received a pretty formidable dark profession, at least an Excellent Temte, or even possibly a Rare Temte.¡±
Hearing this, Ennis Hawkins finally realized.
Breanna Holt didn¡¯te just for him today, she was actually after Dean McKenzie, which made him furrow his brows.
¡°Ms. Holt, he¡¯s my man¡¡±
¡°Your man? As far as I know, your only connection with him is bringing him back to Spring City half a year ago.
How did he be your man?
Do not mention your supposed n, that thing is just a prop the old man made to protect you, none of you even intended to execute that n seriously, right?
Based on your consistent actions, next you¡¯re going to try and smooth this over, even send him out of Spring City, correct?
Your method is both wasteful and irresponsible.
You might as well hand him over to me!¡±
Breanna Holt stared straight into Ennis Hawkins¡¯ eyes: ¡°Your n, although nonsensical, had at least one good point. Hand him over to me, I¡¯ll carry out your n!¡±
¡°No!¡±
Ennis Hawkins firmly objected.
He absolutely didn¡¯t want to hand Dean McKenzie over to the crazy woman in front of him. He could fully foresee the dangerous predicaments Dean McKenzie would face once handed over to this madwoman.
Regardless of the fact that he barely knew Dean McKenzie and their initial impression of each other was far from good, his nature would never allow him to push Dean McKenzie into a pit of fire.
Regarding Ennis Hawkins¡¯ opposition, Breanna Holt showed a look of utter disdain.
She was about to apply more pressure when suddenly, a burst of light shone and another person appeared in the room. Breanna Holt¡¯s eyes fell on the neer.
Taking one look at him, Breanna Holt¡¯s fiery heart suddenly cooled.
¡°A Mage Apprentice of only Ordinary Temte?¡±
Wasn¡¯t he aplete waste? Why was she even bothering to argue?
Wait!
Breanna Holt suddenly understood.
¡°If you¡¯re just a Mage Apprentice of Ordinary Temte, then how did you get a B-grade Evaluation?¡±
With that question, Breanna Holt¡¯s gaze towards Dean McKenzie became dangerous.

Chapter 14 - 14 014 joined the Professional Alliance
14 014 joined the Professional Alliance
Trantor: 549690339
Inside the office of Ennis Hawkins at the Professionals Alliance Spring City Branch.
Dean McKenzie behaved quietly and made sure his harmlessness was noticed as he narrated his three days¡¯ experiences on the Rotting Corpse in. He told every detail with one hundred percent uracy, except for any matters rted to the talent ¡°Extraction¡±.
Upon hearing Dean¡¯s narration, the two people in front of him were aghast¡ªone disying unabashed skepticism and disappointment.
Breanna Holt said, ¡°So, you are telling us you obtained a Skeleton Wand as soon as you stepped out the door and then eliminated a Corpse Swarm with a single Bone Fang and a Summon Skeleton spell?¡±
Facing Breanna¡¯s skepticism, a bewildered Dean didn¡¯t understand why the woman in front of him would look at him as if he were a scam artist.
In his telling of the experience, apart from not mentioning his talent, he had told nothing but the truth!
However, Dean¡¯s innocent expression only added to Breanna¡¯s icy demeanor: ¡°There should be some degree of realism when lying. Think before you speak, regardless of whether your luck was as good as you imed.¡±
¡°You obtained a Skeleton Wand right outside your house, and then conveniently got Mana Potions and Life Potions when needed.¡±
¡°Not to mention the absurdity of ughtering nearly a hundred corpses with just a skeleton and a few traps.¡±
¡°The mere idea of you using four Bone Fangs on the same eyeball, thenmanding a level 4 skeleton to kill a level 5 corpse is far-fetched.¡±
¡°Not to mention the multitasking ofmanding a skeleton while chanting spells. This skill could take many talented mages years, even decades to master. And yet you could do it instantly?¡±
¡°Think about it, could what you just said honestly be true?¡±
¡°Before you spoke, did you ever consider the difficulty involved in¡ ¡±
Breanna stopped mid-sentence.
While she expressed her doubts, Dean had already summoned a skeleton.
Instructing the skeleton to pick up the fruit from the coffee table and throw it, while simultaneously chanting spells.
In a short while, the fruit was flung into mid-air, pierced by a Bone Fang and hit the wooden wall.
Then another Bone Fang flew urately into the first Bone Fang lodged in the wooden wall.
Dean, who had just shown off his abilities without making a fuss about it, looked innocently back at Breanna.
He didn¡¯t utter a word, but his actions spoke for themselves.
Multitasking? Perfect uracy? Is it difficult?
Isn¡¯t it something anyone can do as long as they have hands?
However, Dean¡¯s demonstration not only shocked Breanna, but Ennis Hawkins as well.
Initially, when they heard Dean say he defeated a swarm of corpses with one Bone Fang and two skeletons, they didn¡¯t believe it.
But now, having witnessed Dean¡¯s abilities, they were somewhat convinced.
Then, knowing that Breanna already had her eyes on Dean, Ennis specifically arranged for extra tests.
Testing Dean¡¯s proficiency inmanding skeletons and his skill level in using the Bone Fang.
In order to ensure the uracy of the test results, Ennis took Dean to the level-20 One-Turn Mage¡¯s testing facility.
Finally, the result of Dean¡¯s test indicated that although the levels of his Bone Fang and Summon Skeleton skills were low, his practical application of these skills was quite high. Even among one-turn mages, he was of average skill.
Moreover, Ennis and Breanna personally witnessed Dean¡¯s rapid progress in skill, as he was continuously supplied with unlimited mana during the test.
He was even close to upgrading his Bone Fang skill to level 2.
After witnessing Dean¡¯s entire test, Breanna and Ennis gave Dean aplex look.
Clearly, judging from Dean¡¯s performance.
Without a doubt, Dean was gifted in the mastery of magic skills, even to the point of being considered exceptionally talented.
His learning was reflective and his progress was rapid.
This type of genius, if matched with an excellent temte, would definitely have a promising future.
But unfortunately, Dean¡¯s temte was just an ordinary one. He only had a career inclined seventeen percent towards a Necromancer Apprentice consisting of merely four inherited skills.
This temte and career greatly limited Dean¡¯s future development.
Moreover, in Breanna¡¯s view, Dean¡¯s problem was not just about his temte and career.
¡°With your strength, after taking down the first Corpse Swarm, you should have had enough resources to take down another one, or even two. So why did you stop after just taking down one?¡±
Baffled by Breanna¡¯s question, Dean scratched his head.
¡°Well, I did want to continue, but upon further consideration, it seemed rather dangerous. Besides, I was already safe, so I saw no need in taking further risks, so I gave up!¡±
Hearing Dean¡¯s answer, Breannapletely lost interest in him.
True, Dean¡¯s magical skill talent was high, yet his temte was too ordinary.
Originally, his temte was notpletely devoid of a chance to rise to prominence. However, Dean¡¯s answer revealed his personality.
Breanna found that while Dean could excel in life and death situations, he was nothing more than a cowardly average person when his life was not on the line.
An ordinary temte was already a huge disadvantage. Without the resolve and courage to risk everything, Breanna believed that Dean¡¯s career as a professional wouldn¡¯tst.
Even though Breanna wanted Dean, this version of Dean was not what she needed.
There was no need to go to all the trouble for this man without much potential who would not be of much use to her ns.
After all, asking for someone from Ennis Hawkins was a demanding task.
Furthermore, if they were to take Dean, he wouldn¡¯t be of immediate use as he would require some training.
If his character had a more excellent temte, he might be worth reluctantly training. However, with an ordinary temte, there really was no need.
So, after giving Dean a disappointed look, Breanna got up regretfully and left.
After sending Breanna out of his office and watching her leave, Ennis breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°Phew, finally got rid of that gue. Kid, you can¡¡±
Ennis turned to Dean, intending to crack a smile, but upon seeing Dean¡¯s face, he was instantly enraged: ¡°Now that you¡¯re safe and sound from the Rotting Corpse in, isn¡¯t it time we settle our ount?¡±
Saying this, Ennis, with clenched fists, hoisted a stunned Dean and dragged him into the office, mming the office door shut behind them.
When Dean emerged from Ennis¡¯s office again, half an hour had passed.
More importantly, Dean had a change of identity.
From the original sanitary worker of the Spring City sewer, he became an internw enforcer at the Seventh Enforcement Squad in the Professionals Alliance Spring City Branch.
In addition, as soon as he joined, he was already given a task¡
Chapter 15 - 15 015 South Hill Base
15 015 South Hill Base
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, South Hill Base!
South Hill Base is a base built by Spring City to train new professionals.
Each year, arge number of new professionals who have sessfully undergone the free Promotion Ceremony, stages once a year for high school students, are sent to South HIll Base for training.
Yes, the Promotion Ceremony that Dean McKenzie wanted to go through, trading seven or eight years for one free attempt, is indeed free.
In fact, you could do it for free once every year for your three high school years.
Moreover, the free Promotion Ceremony they enjoyed wasn¡¯t the lowest grade one that Dean envisioned, the one that cost 1 gold coin.
It was the intermediate-grade Promotion Ceremony priced at 5 gold coins on the market.
Of course, 5 gold coins is the market price, the real annual cost that Spring City invests into the Promotion ceremony would not exceed 50 silver coins per person.
Also, although the Promotion ceremonies are imed to be free, is there really anything free in this world?
Professionals who have changed their professions through Promotion ceremony join the Professional Alliance for a certain period of time, or need to repay the cost of the Promotion to the Spring City Professional Alliance at the market price within three years after thepletion of their Promotion.
Therefore, after all, this so-called ¡°free¡± is actually a business.
Furthermore, it¡¯s a profitable business for the Professional Alliance.
Of course, Dean McKenzie thinks that they should make that money, in fact, regardless of the market price, Dean is willing to let them profit, even if the profit was several times more.
Unfortunately, as a semi-illegal, he doesn¡¯t qualify to allow them to earn, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have stayed in the sewers for half a year.
However, although no money was earned.
Dean McKenzie still arrived at South Hill Base as usual.
The only difference is that others came for training, while he came for missions.
South Hill Base, inside the library.
The new librarian, Dean McKenzie, was holding and reading a copy of ¡°18 Cultivation Postures of Meditation¡±, all the while his mind was wandering off.
¡°ording to Anthony¡¯s information, the Book of Dark Promotion first appeared at South Hill Base, they suspect that there may be an Evil Cultist lurking in South Hill Base.
So he arranged for me toe to South Hill Base, trying to use me to draw out that Evil Cultist.
I originally thought that this would be a difficult task with a certain degree of danger, but it has been a week since I arrived at the base.
Anthony has not yet made a detailed n for my task, nor has he arranged a contact for me at South Hill Base. No one knows my identity at South Hill Base, nor has anyone limited my activities.
What does Anthony mean by this?¡±
Dean McKenzie even began to suspect, was he just left to his own devices by Anthony?
¡°There¡¯s no way, Anthony should have his own n.
Maybe he¡¯s afraid that setting up too much would alert the enemy, so he wants me to develop freely. Since that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯m really going to act on my own next.
In the week since I came here, I haven¡¯t leveled up at all. Tonight, I¡¯m going to make a move!
Just in time, my new skill finally reached the entry-level stage!¡±
Dean McKenzie said this, and couldn¡¯t help opening his attribute panel.
¡
Name: Dean McKenzie
Profession: Necromancer Apprentice
Talent: Extraction (5.7/1000)
Level: Level 3 (175/200)
Attributes:
Strength: 0.7, Agility: 0.8, Physique: 0.8, Spirit: 3.1
Mana: 31
Skills: Bone Fang (level 1) (95/100), Summon Skeleton (level 1) +1 (47/100)
Appraisal Skill (level 1) 3/100)
Meditation (level 1) (1/300)
¡
These were Dean McKenzie¡¯s current attributes.
When Dean McKenzie opened his attribute panel right now, the thing he paid the most attention to was thest skill: Meditation.
¡
Skill: Meditation.
Level: Level 1.
Effect: Rapidly restores Mana in the Meditation State.
Current mana recovery speed: 1 point per minute.
¡
This Meditation skill was one of the rewards Dean McKenzie received for his B-Grade Evaluation on the Rotting Corpse in.
In addition to Meditation, Dean McKenzie also received 50 silver coins. Adding to the ones he had saved up, he now has a total of 55 silver coins.
This was a hefty sum!
If all was used for attribute enhancement, if attribute enhancement could even be unrestricted, this money could increase Doggy Two and team¡¯s attributes by 55 points.
¡°If I could directly increase Doggy Two¡¯s attributes by 55 points, gaining 0.5 attribute points per level, wouldn¡¯t that mean that Doggy Two would raise up by 110 levels?¡±
Just thinking about this makes Dean McKenzie very excited.
After finally getting off work, Dean McKenzie asked for a few days off at the library. He ate a quick meal at the cafeteria, packed a few days¡¯ worth of water and dry rations, and headed straight for Base 4.
South Hill Base, District 1 is the education district, which also houses the library.
District 2 is the amodation area, District 3 is the training area, used for skill and tactical training.
District 4, on the other hand, is the trading area.
Professionals can continue resource trading here.
Dean is heading towards District 4 to purchase materials and equipment for his uing leveling experience.
With a hefty amount of 55 silver coins in his pocket, Dean strode into District 4 with a lot of swagger, ready to go on a shopping spree.
Then, very quickly, Dean was astounded by the prices in District 4.
A Mana Potion (tiny) costs 1 silver coin, a Life Potion (tiny) costs 2 silver coins.
A piece of leather armor with +4 defense dared to be sold for 10 silver coins, and equipment that increased skill levels like the Skeleton Wand sold for an outrageous 40 to 100 silver coins.
Even though Dean already knew before he came that the prices for trades in District 4 might be higher than outside, he really didn¡¯t expect it to be this ridiculously high.
Dean originally nned to see if he could buy equipment that increased mana cap, or recovered mana.
But then he saw that a ne with only Level 1 Mana Recovery also cost 10 silver coins.
Although Dean could afford it, he felt the cost-performance ratio was low.
In the end, Dean only bought five Mana Potions (tiny), and one Life Potion (tiny).
He bought a piece of leather armor with +3 defense and two long swords with +2 attack.
Just like that, Dean spent a whopping 20 silver coins.
He had to work two years in the sewers for this money, and the moment he paid the money, Dean felt as if his heart was bleeding.
After shopping, Dean made his way directly to the fifth district of South Hill Base, also known as the leveling area of South Hill Base.
To reach District 5 as quickly as possible, Dean took a rtively secluded alley.
However, as soon as he entered the alley, Dean unexpectedly found a mysterious booth in this alley.
The booth was located in the shadow of this rarely traveled alley, and the person manning the booth was shrouded in a ck cloak, looking both mysterious and powerful.
As Dean was noticing him, the vendor¡¯s gaze fell on Dean.
The moment their eyes met, Dean immediately lowered his gaze, not daring to look directly at this mysterious, powerful character.
He didn¡¯t even consider taking a look at what the booth was selling, and hurriedly left as if he was afraid of being forced into buying or selling something in this lonely alley.
After passing through that little alley, and after not going much further, Dean arrived at the main gate of District 5.
Dean swiped his card at the heavily mechanized main gate.
¡°Beep, employee card!¡±
Chapter 16 - 16 016 Bone Fang Upgrade
16 016 Bone Fang Upgrade
Trantor: 549690339
The Area 5 in South Hill Base is further divided into several sectors or should I say, several maps.
These maps were crafted by the Professional Alliance using different Permanent Secret Realm Fragments.
When Dean McKenzie used his staff card toe in, he entered the Skeleton Cave map.
The Skeleton Cave is an upgrade map formed from the fragments of the Permanent Secret Realm Wraith Territory.
Within the cave, the active skeleton levels range from level 3 to 10.
The main active monsters are Pale Skeletons, Fragile Skeleton Warriors, and Fragile Skeleton Archers.
The entire cave is about 15 kilometers in diameter with three levels, where the skeletons are usually not above level 5 on the first level¡¡±
As he stepped foot into the Skeleton Cave, Dean McKenzie was summoning Doggy Three while also going over the information about the cave he had collected over the past week in his head.
Well, at this moment, the Doggy Three summoned by Dean McKenzie was essentially not the original one.
But Dean McKenzie stubbornly named the newly summoned skeleton as Doggy Three.
It was as if he hadn¡¯t sacrificed Doggy Three as cannon fodder if he didn¡¯t change the name, as if Doggy Three hadn¡¯t died!
In the pitch-dark Skeleton Cave, the pair of Pupil Fires emanating from the summoned Doggy Three brought faint light, but it still couldn¡¯t give Dean McKenzie a sense of safety.
So, Dean McKenzie reached out and summoned Doggy Two as well.
All his 31 points of Mana were used up after summoning the two skeletons.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t bear to use his Mana Potion. Thus, he sat cross-legged for over 20 minutes, and under the bonus of meditation along with the level 1 Mana Recovery, his Mana recovered to around 25. Only then did Dean McKenzie officially begin exploring the Skeleton Cave.
Throughout the exploration process, Dean McKenzie was tense, fearing a skeleton might suddenly jump out.
As a result, after walking for over half an hour, his Mana had fully recovered, but he hadn¡¯t encountered any skeletons.
However, his Doggy Three that was scouting for him almost got murdered by someone thinking it was a monster.
An arrow from somewhere pinned Doggy Three to the wall. Fortunately, Dean McKenzie reacted quickly and gave a shout, this allowing the third-generation Doggy Three to escape an early end.
¡°Sorry about that, I¡¯ve been shooting at monsters in the Skeleton Cave for many days, now I can shoot without thinking when I see Pupil Fire, almost killed your helper undead!¡±
The perpetrator who almost killed Doggy Three was an adolescent carrying a longbow, around seventeen to eighteen years old.
The young fellow was quite honest and apologetic to Dean McKenzie while scratching his head.
Since the other fellow came up to apologize, Dean McKenzie naturally wouldn¡¯t hold a grudge: ¡°No problem, after all, no one would think that there would be a pet skeleton in the Skeleton Cave!¡±
The two of themughed at this, and all tension was eased and they instantly formed a bond.
Only at the expense of Doggy Three did the harmonious world once again stabilize.
Latterly, after briefly greeting each other, the older fellow, realizing that Dean McKenzie had juste into level his monsters immediately offered: ¡°You just got here? There are many people in the Skeleton Cave, it¡¯s not easy finding a good leveling spot. I¡¯m just heading out, I¡¯ll give you my leveling spot from the past few days.
That spot is pretty good, stable leveling, and nobodyes by.
Follow me!¡±
Then the honest youth took Dean McKenzie, spending over an hour¡¯s time to take Dean McKenzie to the secondyer of the Skeleton Cave, and led him into a tunnel in the secondyer.
¡°Here we are, this ce.
This is where I¡¯ve been leveling for the past few days. I¡¯m telling you, if you follow this tunnel further in, it leads to an extremelyrge skeleton mob.
Conservative estimate is at least over two to three hundred skeletons.
But you don¡¯t need to go there, you can wait here for the lost skeletons toe into this tunnel, the frequency is pretty high, sometimes onees every few minutes.
It¡¯s better to wait here than scramble everywhere looking for monsters, especially considering the high yer traffic in this map.
Also, this location has a hidden escape route, if there are too many skeletonsing at you, you can hide here a bit, as long as you hide well, there won¡¯t be a problem, there¡¯ll be peopleing to clean up¡
Oh right, here¡¯s a torch I didn¡¯t finish using, and here¡¯s some water and dry rations too!¡±
That youth named Xander Xavier who almost shot Doggy Three dead was genuinely good-hearted.
Not only did he bring Dean McKenzie to his leveling spot, but also diligently exined all sorts of situations to him in detail. In the end, he even left a few torches and the dry rations he didn¡¯t finish before waving goodbye to Dean McKenzie.
Watching the youngster leave, Dean McKenzie was moved.
He couldn¡¯t help but pat Doggy Three.
¡°That arrow you took was worth it!¡±
And less than five minutes after bidding farewell to Xander Xavier, Dean McKenzie finally officially started leveling.
From a distance, Dean McKenzie saw a pair of Pupil Fire floating towards him.
¡°Every existence leaves a trace, the truth can¡¯t be hidden!¡±
Dean McKenzie raised his hand and cast an Appraisal Skill virtually immediately.
[You¡¯ve sessfully used the Appraisal Skill, and obtained the attributes of the Pale Skeleton!]
¡.
Name: Pale Skeleton
Level: Level 5
Attributes:
Strength: 1.6, Agility 1.4, Physique 1
Attack: 1.6, Defense 0.5.
¡.
The attributes are equivalent to those of Doggy Two prior to enhancement.
Dean McKenzie can p the current Doggy Two to death, but he decided not to let Doggy Two participate.
¡°Don¡¯t get involved, I¡¯ll take it out myself!¡±
Saying that, Dean McKenzie, who was keen on leveling up Bone Fang, sent a Bone Fang through the skeleton¡¯s eye socket, carrying away the skeleton.
[You used the Bone Fang Skill to kill the Pale Skeleton (Level 5), gaining 3 Experience Points, and increasing your proficiency with the Bone Fang skill!]
Nothing dropped, but Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t disappointed and immediately used his Talent.
[You have sessfully used the Extraction talent on the Pale Skeleton. You extracted 0.1 Strength!]
[You have spent 100 Copper Coins to enhance Doggy Two¡¯s strength by 0.1!]
¡.
After dealing with it, Dean McKenzie took the opportunity to sit down and recover his Mana through Meditation while no new skeleton arrived.
Thereafter, like Xander Xavier said, a lost skeleton would wander into the corridor every few to several minutes.
As these skeletons arrived, Dean McKenzie received each warmly, like a zealous and hospitable pawnbroker.
He enthusiastically coveted their values, squeezing everyst drop of potential they had.
In this corridor, within just about half an hour, Dean McKenzie had already dealt with 5 Pale Skeletons.
Meanwhile, he was also greeted with his first reward.
[Your Bone Fang Skill level has been increased, its current level is 2!]
¡.
Skill: Bone Fang
Level: 2 (0/500)
Mana cost: 7 points
Skill Effect: Summons a shoot range of 12 meters, damage equals the Spiritual Power multiplied by 1.1.
¡.
The upgrade of the Bone Fang skill is good news for Dean McKenzie.
However, apanying this good news, came some bad news as well.
This bad news came when Dean McKenzie was preparing to assign attribute points to Doggy Two.
[Please note, the temte assigned to your target is an Ordinary Temte, and your current Talent Level is 1, so it can only receive up to 5 attribute points before reaching Level 10. Please upgrade the target¡¯s temte, level, or your own Talent Level!]
¡.
Chapter 17 - 17 017 Encounter with the Elite Monster Again
17 017 Encounter with the Elite Monster Again
Trantor: 549690339
Skeleton Cave.
Looking at the system prompt before him, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brow.
Even though Dean had already guessed that the assignment of attributes could not be unlimited, he didn¡¯t expect the limit toe so quickly.
He opened Doggy Two¡¯s attributes for a look.
¡¡
Strength: 3, Agility: 3.8, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 3.2
Defense: 1.05+4
Equipment: Rotten Leather Armor
¡
¡°Doggy Two¡¯s current attributes are quite powerfulpared to the regr skeletons, but they might still fall short whenpared to elite bosses like Rotten Corpses.¡±
¡°At present, the only ways to further enhance Doggy Two are either by collecting Elite Temte Fragments to upgrade his temte.¡±
¡°Or by improving his talent level!¡±
However, neither of these conditions can be fulfilled in a rush. Thus, Dean¡¯s gaze immediately fell on Doggy Three.
¡°It seems that I can only enhance Doggy Three for now!¡±
Although Dean could currently choose only one target for enhancement.
But he chose ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± as the skill for ¡°Summoning Enhancement¡±, thus, Dean can actually enhance Doggy Three now.
This was something he had tried previously.
It requires paying 5 silver coins to activate Doggy Three¡¯s enhancement feature.
Moreover, the enhancements applied only apply to the current generation Doggy Three.
For instance, if Dean activates the enhancement feature now, he can only enhance the current Doggy Three. If it falls in battle, Dean would need to pay 5 more silver coins to activate the enhancement feature on a newly summoned Doggy Three.
Previously, Dean thought it was both too expensive and a bit of a rip-off, hence, he didn¡¯t activate Doggy Three¡¯s enhancement.
Even now, he still finds it a bit expensive.
¡°But what else can I do? I can¡¯t enhance Doggy Two any further for now, and it¡¯s still a bit risky to try and defeat elite monsters with just Doggy Two¡¯s current strength.
The only choice I have is to also enhance Doggy Three. That way, when facing elite monsters, I¡¯ll have a better chance!¡±
Saying this, Dean went straight to work.
[You have consumed 5 Silver Coins to activate the Enhancement Feature for Doggy Three (3rd generation)!]
With the system prompt, Dean¡¯s property plummeted to less than 30 silver coins.
Looking at the disappearing 5 silver coins, Dean felt heartache. He patted Doggy Three¡¯s skeleton determinably and said, ¡°Starting today, I¡¯ll protect you. I¡¯ll never let you take damage again¡ Eh¡¡±
Before Dean could finish his sentence, he saw a pair of glowing eyes appearing at the end of the tunnel, followed by the glint of an arrow flying towards him!
¡°Holy shit, it¡¯s an arrow!
Doggy Three, take it for me!¡±
Without a moment¡¯s hesitation, Dean let Doggy Three take the hit from the arrow.
Though he felt the pain of losing 5 silver coins, his life was far more important.
There was a ¡°thud!¡±.
The glinting arrow shot into Doggy Three, prating its armor and stopping its arrowhead right in front of Dean¡¯s eyes.
Dean broke out in cold sweat.
If not for his quick reaction, he would already be gone.
¡°Damn it, Doggy Two, where are you? Quick, go and chop off that bastard!¡±
Having narrowly escaped death, Dean gave orders to Doggy Two while chanting a curse to throw the Appraisal Skill towards his attacker.
[You sessfully used the Appraisal Skill, obtaining the target¡¯s attributes!]
¡¡
Name: Icy Skeleton Archer
Temte: Elite
Level: Level 5
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 4, Physique: 1
Attack: 2+4
Defense: 0.5
Spirit Power: 10 points
Mastered Skill: Frosty Bone Arrow (Level 1) (Shoots a bone arrow with level plus agility frost damage)
Equipment: Ordinary Bone Bow (Attack +4)
¡
¡°A Level 5 Elite?¡±
It must be said, Dean McKenzie was truly startled when he saw this attribute.
He didn¡¯t expect that what would emerge at this point was a Level 5 Elite Monster.
Even less did he think that its attributes would be so terrifying.
Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie advanced, the bone bow in the hand of the skeleton archer opposite him was drawn once more.
Not only that, Dean McKenzie clearly saw a frosty aura spreading within the bow and arrow.
Dean McKenzie instantly thought of the enemy¡¯s skill, and his face changed as he decisively issued an order.
¡°Doggy Two, retreat, Doggy Three, we¡¯re going in!¡±
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, the two skeletons moved into action. Doggy Two, who had already gotten within ten meters of the Skeleton Archer, rapidly withdrew, while Doggy Three and Dean McKenzie, who were originally fifteen meters away, advanced.
¡°Quick, quick, quick, quick!¡±
As Dean McKenzie moved forward, he was directing two skeletons, chanting Bone Fang, and still keeping an eye on the Skeleton Archer.
Watching the frosty aura continuously spreading in the enemy¡¯s hand, Dean McKenzie was extremely anxious.
A rough calction showed that the power of this arrow reached as high as 16 points.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t sure what exactly a 16-point power attack looked like, but he dared not let Doggy Two take the hit!
¡°Puff!¡±
In the midst of the sprint, the sound of vibrating bowstrings echoed, and a sh of icy blue luster lit up again.
At this moment, the distance between Doggy Two and Doggy Three was less than a meter.
At this rate, the arrival of the arrow could end in a double kill. Dean McKenzie absolutely couldn¡¯t let this happen, so he clenched his teeth and mmed into Doggy Three in front of him.
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s impact, Doggy Three elerated dramatically, putting distance between itself and Doggy Two before the icy blue arrow arrived. It collided with the chilly blue arrow that was initially aimed at Doggy Two, saving Doggy Two¡¯s life.
Regrettably, poor Doggy Three was directly taken out by the icy blue arrow on the spot.
With 16 points of damage, it directly exploded when it hit Doggy Three, not even leaving behind its leather armor.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart was bleeding. After all, that was worth 5 Silver Coins, no, including the leather armor, that was 11 Silver Coins.
Fortunately, Doggy Three¡¯s death wasn¡¯t in vain.
Dean McKenzie rolled into the range of Bone Fang, shot the Bone Fang, which had already finished chanting, directly hitting the kneecap of the Skeleton Archer¡¯s left leg and getting stuck there.
This caused the Skeleton Archer, who had missed and wanted to retreat, to slow down dramatically.
Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity tomand Doggy Two to strike again while re-chanting Bone Fang.
The Skeleton Archer lifted his hand and shot an arrow at Dean McKenzie, who neither dodged nor evaded, choosing instead tomand Doggy Two to take the hit.
It wasn¡¯t an icy arrow after all, just a regr one. Wearing a Rotten Leather Armor with a 5-point defense, Doggy Two could withstand it, provided its head wasn¡¯t blown off.
After Doggy Two had forcefully taken the arrow, Dean McKenzie shot another Bone Fang at the Skeleton Archer¡¯s hand, knocking the bone arrow in its hand away.
Soon after, Doggy Two charged into the face of the Skeleton Archer.
The oue for an archer who had lost its mobility advantage, gotten close to, and had the bone arrow in its hand knocked away is predictable.
Doggy Two thrust the long sword that he had just equipped, which added 2 points to his attack, into the Skeleton Archer¡¯s eye socket and began dealing damage fiercely.
After a while, the Skeleton Archer fell, bursting into two bursts of light.
The Golden Finger tip in front of Dean McKenzie shed¡..

Chapter 18 - 18 018 New Template of Doggy Three
18 018 New Temte of Doggy Three
Trantor: 549690339
[You have sessfully defeated the[Cold Skeleton Archer]and gained 35 experience points. Your level has increased to Level 4, your spiritual power has increased by 0.5, and your mana limit has increased to 36!]
[Your wraith servant[Doggy Two]¡¯s level has increased to Level 5, its strength has increased to 3.2, agility has increased to 4, and physique has increased to 1!]
¡
In the Skeleton Cave, Dean McKenzie nced at the fresh system notification in front of him, his gaze quickly returned to the skeleton archer.
He didn¡¯t even bother to pick up the light points on the ground and went straight to the skeleton archer for an extraction. He had just leveled up, his mana was replenished.
[You have sessfully used[Extraction]on [Cold Skeleton Archer], you have extracted 0.5 agility, 0.5 attack. You have obtained[Elite Temte Fragments]]
Another Elite Temte Fragment in hand, only one more left to assemble the Elite Temte.
¡°Looking at this, it doesn¡¯t seem too difficult to upgrade Doggy Two¡¯s temte to Elite!¡±
Hope was in sight and Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help butugh happily.
Of course, even as heughed, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t forget to pick up the two light points on the ground.
[You¡¯ve opened a light point to acquire a[Fragile Skeletal Archer Temte], and two Silver Coins!]
Hearing the system prompt, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
¡°Did it drop a temte?¡±
That temtes could drop was not a surprise to Dean McKenzie.
He had spent the past week in the library, cramming up on somemon knowledge for professional yers.
It included this thing on temtes.
He learnt that in the professional¡¯s world, temtes are barriers that naturally divide professionals into various ranks.
The lowest are those like Dean McKenzie with the Ordinary Temtes, who are at the bottom of the professional hierarchy.
Such professionals only get 0.5 attribute points per level, and it is said that there are various inconveniences in job transferster on.
Above that are the Elites with Elite Temtes. They are much stronger than ordinary temtes with one attribute point per level, which is twice as much.
Thenes the Excellent Temtes. These professionals gain 1.5 attribute points per level and seem to have other advantages.
What specifically those advantages are, the books Dean McKenzie had ess to didn¡¯t clearly state.
Dean McKenzie only knew that Professionals with Excellent Temtes were already considered to have one foot at the threshold of ¡®nobility¡¯ among professionals.
Ennis Hawkins had mentioned more than once that it would be great if Dean McKenzie¡¯s temte was an Excellent Temte.
Of course, regarding the fact that his temte is just an Ordinary, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t take it too seriously.
After all, he had a talent. Despite having fewer attribute points, he could make up for itter on. Just like Doggy Two right now, his temte is ordinary but his attributes are of elite quality.
So, he did not care about not having a better temte or being in a rush.
But when understanding what temtes were, one thing upset Dean McKenzie initially.
That was when he learned during those few days that drops could include temtes and others could also upgrade theirs.
When he first found out temtes could drop and others could also upgrade theirs, how did you think Dean McKenzie¡¯s mood was? It was anything but beautiful!
His feelings were simr to a friend of his before he crossed over who was flirting with a goddess and just when he thought he was about to seed, he found out that the goddess had other flirtatious targets. You can imagine his feelings.
Later, as Dean McKenzie learned more, his mood gradually improved.
Because he, oh no, his friend found out that the man was simply a lick-dog of the goddess, not another flirtatious target.
Yes, temtes can be dropped by others.
But firstly, the drop rate is extremely low. An Elite Temte¡¯s BOSS is pushed ten thousand times at most to drop once.
Secondly, the dropped temte would be bottom-tier.
Only elite quality bosses can drop ordinary temtes.
Meaning, to upgrade to an elite quality temte,
Others need to kill tens of thousands of excellent temte¡¯s bosses for a chance of dropping one elite, while Dean McKenzie only needs to take down three elites.
And temtes can¡¯t be used as soon as they drop. There are strict requirements.
Many temtes that drop can only have a look at.
Just like the temte that Dean McKenzie just got.
¡
Name: Fragile Skeletal Archer Temte
Quality: Ordinary
Requirements to Use: Pale Skeleton, Agility reached 2
¡
The current temte in front of him, if it wasn¡¯t obtained by Dean McKenzie, would be practically worthless in anyone else¡¯s hands.
This is the type mostly obtained by ordinary professionals.
Too good to discard, yet useless to keep.
But the same temte, when in the hands of Dean McKenzie, was a different story.
After all, he could precisely summon skeletons.
Besides, the icy cold skeleton archer¡¯s arrow just now had amazed Dean McKenzie quite a bit.
¡°If I could train such an archer, it seems pretty good too!¡±
Although Dean McKenzie was most eager to have a defense-oriented Skeleton Servant to ensure immediate safety, in the absence of such a servant, he didn¡¯t mind having a ranged one.
[You have summoned a Wraith Servant!]
[You haveunched the Enhancement of the Wraith Servant, you have spent 800 Copper Coins to increase the agility of Doggy Three to 2 points!]
[You have used the Fragile Skeleton Archer Temte sessfully, your Wraith Servant temte has been converted into a Fragile Skeleton Archer!]
In less than half an hour, Dean McKenzie summoned the fourth generation of Doggy Three and sessfully turned Doggy Three into an archer.
¡
Name: Fragile Skeleton Archer (Doggy Three)
Level: Level 4
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 1+1
Defense: 0.45
Companion Weapon: Fragile Skeletal Bone Bow (Attack Power +1, automatically generates a bone arrow every minute, can umte up to 10)
¡
Dean McKenzie took a brief look, it seemed that the attribute points of Archer-doggy Three were mainly in agility.
1 point of agility constitutes 0.5 attack power.
Although Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t understand the inner workings of this, it didn¡¯t hinder him from piling agility points on Doggy Three next.
¡°First, let¡¯s upgrade Doggy Three. After that, let¡¯s see if we can kill another Elite Monster and synthesize the Elite Temte!¡±
Following this, Dean McKenzie concentrated on adapting to Doggy Three¡¯s new form and training the new generation of Doggy Three.
Surprisingly, the Archer form of Doggy Three was slightly more difficult tomand than the Pale Skeleton.
It took Dean McKenzie more than ten minutes to be proficient in controlling Doggy Three.
It took an over another half-hour for Dean McKenzie to attack simultaneously and urately with Doggy Three.
Afterward, the skeletons entering this passage were essentially destined to be killed instantly.
The moment they appeared, they were met with Bone Fang and Bone Arrow.
Ordinary skeletons simply couldn¡¯t handle it and were wiped out in one wave.
Dean McKenzie stayed in this passage overnight, and his level experience points reached [150/250].
Doggy Three¡¯s attributes were again enhanced by Dean McKenzie to the limit.
¡
Name: Fragile Skeleton Archer (Doggy Three)
Level: Level 4 (53%)
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 6.2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 3.1+1
Defense: 0.45
Companion Weapon: Fragile Skeletal Bone Bow
¡
Looking at Doggy Three¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but look in the direction of the skeleton group. A bold idea was brewing in his heart, but before this idea had fully formed,
With a ¡°boom¡±, it seemed as if a sudden explosion urred in the direction of the skeleton group!
Chapter 19 - 19 019 Powerful and Generous Boss
19 019 Powerful and Generous Boss
Trantor: 549690339
Skeleton Cave, second level, a passage just wide enough for two or three people, where a delicate skeleton head cautiously peeked out.
A momentter, about thirty centimeters below the skeleton head, a human head also emerged from the passageway.
Undoubtedly, that head belongs to Dean McKenzie.
At this moment, he was on all fours, observing the end of the tunnel in a rather subtle posture.
As Dean McKenzie popped his head out, he was immediately astonished by the abundant Pupil Fire in front of him.
Hundreds of Pupil Fires, like dim candles in a gloomy crypt.
The not so bright light illuminates the pale skeleton heads, each of which is frantically throwing themselves towards a passage on the opposite side.
The scene was simply like a living hell, extremely creepy and awe-inspiring.
If someone of faint-heartedness saw this, they would certainly piss their pants.
But Dean McKenzie was okay. After all, he wasn¡¯t faint-hearted. He had dared to spend half a year in the sewer alone before changing his job and be a skeleton yer.
This view didn¡¯t scare McKenzie.
However, while McKenzie wasn¡¯t afraid, the person in the opposite passage was even bolder.
That person was soloing this skeleton group!
¡°Boom!¡±
McKenzie was watching when a loud noise came.
McKenzie saw a sh of fire, followed by a dozen or so skeletons blown high up into the air.
Then, while the skeletons were still rising, a fiery figure carrying a red battle hammer, like a headstrong calf, charged out.
The battle hammer in his hand was this fiery calf¡¯s horn.
All those skeletons who touched it got injured, or killed.
This sight left McKenzie utterly bbergasted.
An Appraisal Skill was unconsciously thrown out.
Failed!
McKenzie tried again, and failed again.
After failing three or four times in a row, he finally managed to seed once.
[You have sessfully used the Appraisal Skill and identified some of the target¡¯s attributes.]
¡
Name: Bell Be
Temte Quality: Unknown (Above Excellent)
Level: 5
Attributes:
Strength: Unknown (Above 10)
Skills: Unknown
Equipment: Unknown
¡
This attribute panel instantly appeared in front of McKenzie.
At the same time as this attribute panel appeared, that fiery figure halted, turned his head, and gave McKenzie a very displeased look.
Doesn¡¯t this guy know any better?
Didn¡¯t anyone tell him not to misuse detection skills?
At this time, Dean McKenzie had already snapped back from the shock of seeing the person¡¯s attributes, his face full of shock and admiration: ¡°Holy shit, he has the Excellent Temte or above! His strength also exceeds 10, no wonder he¡¯s so awesome, what a badass!¡±
Seeing the other person¡¯s attributes, McKenzie subconsciously reverted to his pre-transmigration gamer mentality.
He started fanboying, heaping continuous praises and calling him boss.
The moment McKenzie shouted ¡®boss¡¯, Bell Be, who was initially displeased, suddenly had a different impression.
He¡¯s calling me boss!
Suddenly he felt that this guy might not be that terrible after all!
Then, Bell Be took back his gaze and continued to rampage in the skeleton group with his battle hammer.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie instantly transformed into a cheerleader.
¡°You¡¯re awesome, boss! You¡¯re badass!¡±
¡°That hammer is so cool!¡±
¡°666, the world of the boss is indeed terrifying. If only I could be as cool as the boss!¡±
Dean McKenzie was genuinely excited in his role as a cheerleader.
He genuinely thought Bell Be was extraordinary.
With one swing of her giant hammer, skeletons exploded, and the image was an incredibly satisfying release. It made Dean McKenzie quite envious.
After all, a big hammer is a form of romanticism for men.
Unfortunately, he was a mage, and he probably would never experience the freedom of swinging a big hammer in his life.
¡°Hmm, maybe not necessarily.
If I can increase my strength, perhaps I can be as carefree!¡±
With this thought, Dean couldn¡¯t help but anticipate his future.
The cheering from his mouth became even louder.
¡°Bossdy is amazing!¡±
¡°Behind you, Boss, there¡¯s an elite monster¡¡±
¡°Holy shit, she just blew it up, Boss is incredible!¡±
¡°Nice move, Bossdy!¡±
¡
As Dean cheered from the side, Bell Be gradually lost herself in the apuse.
The battle hammer in her hand danced more mboyantly.
These exaggerated skills left Dean in awe.
The cheering won¡¯t stop, the apuse won¡¯t stop.
The more Dean cheered, the more pumped up Bell got.
In the end, a battle that she originally nned to finish in half an hour was over in just over ten minutes.
Because of this, she downed quite a few potions.
Just the potions she consumed, if converted into skeleton kills, could probably rece the whole skeleton crowd.
But Bell Be didn¡¯t mind at all.
She could always make more money, but such a zealous cheering squad wasn¡¯t always around.
After the fight, Bell Be intended to clean up the battlefield.
But she paused when she was about to reach out; her head subconsciously turned towards Dean.
Image! She needs to maintain her image!
Picking up items all over the ce at this time would ruin the aura of a pro yer.
This can¡¯t happen!
Dean calls her ¡®boss¡¯! She can¡¯t lose her boss¡¯s dignity in front of Dean!
So, Bell Be gave up the items all over the ground, stepped over the remnants of skeletons and walked to the center of Skeleton crowd. There, she found a treasure chest in the central position and picked some things from it.
Bell Be checked out.
It was level 5 mage equipment. Not bad, she could sell it for some money when she returns!
She was about to keep it, but then she remembered Dean, and the satisfied expression on her face faded a bit.
¡°What a disappointment, not what I wanted. Kiddo over there, fate brought us together, so I¡¯ll give these to you!¡±
With that, Bell Be casually put the equipment back into the chest. Then, she slung her pink war hammer on her shoulder, flicked her twin tails, waved her hand, and this sixteen-year-old girl turned around and walked away inrge strides.
From behind, from Be¡¯s imagined perspective, her departing footsteps were calm andposed, very befitting of a strong character.
If one looked from the front, they could see her little face excited to the point of distortion.
She rushed to the channel with difficulty, Be immediately found a corner to hide.
Whoever says, criminals like to admire their works on the scene.
Although Be was not a criminal, she was also very curious about Dean¡¯s appraisal of her.
She wanted to know if Dean would continue to praise her after her departure or secretly curse her for being an idiot.
¡°If this guy dares to secretly curse me for being an idiot, I¡¯ll take back all the stuff and beat him up.¡±
Be pondered with her fists clenched. As soon as her voice fell, she heard Dean shout in surprise.
¡°Holy shit, the bossdy gave me all these things?
Doesn¡¯t she want them?
Well, it makes sense. Someone as great as her probably wouldn¡¯t care about these trifles; she probably thinks they¡¯re just taking up space.
Anyway, it¡¯s so lucky to meet such a strong and generous bossdy!¡±
Listening to Dean¡¯s words from the channel, Bell Be was very satisfied and nodded. This handsome guy speaks so well, don¡¯t stop, say more, she loves to listen!
¡
Chapter 20 - 20: 020 New Copy
Chapter 20: 020 New Copy
Trantor: 549690339
South Hill Base, Skeleton Cave.
Bell Be spent a secret 5 minutes around the corner, listening.
As soon as Dean McKenzie got busy picking up things, stopped praising himself, and confirmed that he didn¡¯t consider her an naive scapegoat, she left with a hint of regret.
As she walked away, she pondered, ¡°What a worthless man, he only praised me for five minutes before he stopped, so persistent he wasn¡¯t!¡±
On the other hand, Dean McKenzie, at this moment, like when he used to y games before his life was turned upside down, was happily picking up the scattered luminous dots all around him, full of gratitude, as if being fed by a guru in the game.
After a busy time, Dean McKenzie collected all the luminous dots.
A total of 37 luminous dots.
Several hundred skeletons in a group, finally dropped just 37 luminous dots, making the burst rate a bit low.
But picking them up for free was quite sweet.
After Dean McKenzie opened all of them, he received 5 small Mana Potions and
1 small Life Potion. The rest was all money.
After receiving that sum of money, Dean McKenzie¡¯s assets went back above 50 and even jumped to a new unprecedented high of 80.
But those were small earnings. The potions, the money, all of it.
The real big deal was the piece of equipment that Bell Be had left behind.
Name: Crude Looking Mana Ring
Level: Level 5
Equipment Requirement: Mage Profession, Level 5
Effects:
1: Mana Recovery (Level 1) (Recover 1 mana every 5 minutes)
2: Mana Storage (Level 1) (Can store too mana, can be withdrawn when needed)
Upon seeing this ring, Dean McKenzie was thrilled beyond words!
His biggest worry right now was his mana issue, the arrival of this ring greatly elevated Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana endurance.
The catch was that this thing requires Level 5 to equip, but Dean McKenzie was only at Level 4, able to look at it but unable to use it.
Then there were the skeletons¡¯ corpses strewn all over the ground.
Among them, there were several elite-level monsters, but sadly, they weren¡¯t defeated by Dean McKenzie, hence, he couldn¡¯t perform Extraction.
Otherwise, if just this particr elite mob were avable, Dean McKenzie would be able tobine two or three Elite Temtes.
Of course, being able to get these unexpected earnings was already quite good.
Dean McKenzie was quite thrilled.
And while the thrilled Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t notice, when he walked to the treasure chest at the center of the mob of skeletons.
The ground around the treasure chest as the center point began to emit a gloomy light.
[Condition satisfied, special instance activated!]
A system prompt suddenly appeared before Dean McKenzie, without any warning.
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
Caught off guard, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have time to react before suddenly feeling disoriented and weightless.
Immediately after, Dean McKenzie and his two skeletons vanished from the Skeleton Cave.
At the same time as Dean McKenzie disappeared, within the South Hill Base, a mysterious figure looked up.
¡°Huh, a new instance has been activated?
Those little guys are full of enthusiasm,e on, let me see which little sweetheart activated which instance.¡±
That being said, a ck crystal ball appeared in the hands of the mysterious figure.
At the same time, the image of Dean McKenzie being teleported away appeared on the crystal ball.
Looking at this image, the mysterious figure was suddenly taken aback.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Which one is this? He¡¯s not on my list!
However, although he¡¯s not on my list, being able to activate this instance is a pleasant surprise.
After all, to activate this instance, he must not only be a Dark Profession but also need to solve the Skeleton Mob within half an hour at level 10 or below!
If he could aplish this, he is definitely a promising talent, at least of Excellent Quality Temte, and our organization needs talents like him!¡± As he said that, the mysterious person began to spin the ck crystal ball in his hands.
¡°Come, let¡¯s see his performance!¡±
The mysterious person, while speaking, started to spin the ck crystal ball in his hands.
The scene captured by the crystal ball rewinded to half an hour ago, with the mysterious person eagerly looking forward to Dean McKenzie¡¯s performance. Then, he saw Be¡¯s war hammer swirling in her hands, smashing all around her, and saw the Dean he was expecting to perform just pping and cheering, repeating the ¡®Great job 666¡¯ slogan.
¡°Crack!¡±
The ck crystal ball in the hand of the mysterious person shattered on the spot.
The mysterious person¡¯s face turned even darker.
Who wouldn¡¯t be upset?
The carefully prepared dungeon for his precious ones was actually exploited by a fool who could only shout 666?
Wasn¡¯t he mad?
On the other side, inside the mysterious dungeon.
The feeling of weightlessness Dean had just experienced disappeared, as the system notification started to refresh in front of his eyes.
[Attention, you have entered the [Land of the Wraith] dungeon!]
[Dungeon Secret Realm: Land of the Wraith
Description: This is a paradise for the dying and the Immortals. Any living being who strays in needs to be careful, this is your hell!
Main quest: Survival (You need to survive for at least 10 days in this dungeon) Side quest: Power of the Wraith (This dungeon seems to hide a power that can be inherited, find it, possess it!)]
¡°Doggy Two, Doggy Three, be alert!¡±
System prompts started to refresh in front of his eyes, but Dean did not check them right away. Instead, he first found his two skeletons and issuedmands.
Clearly, he had learned his lesson from thest time at the Rotting Corpse
in.
Once hended, Dean first observed the surroundings.
Sure enough, sometimes learning from past mistakes is essential.
No sooner had Dean told Doggy Two and Doggy Three to be alert, than he found that their vignce was quite unnecessary.
The whole point of being vignt was to be prepared for unknown potential enemies.
However, when Dean opened his eyes, he found at least a few hundred skeletons around him staring at him.
At that moment, Dean felt a chill run down his spine.
Upon a closer look, Dean found himself standing on a high tform, with all those skeletons beneath it.
On top of this tform, in addition to the three of them, there was another skeleton.
A skeleton wielding a Skeleton Wand.
At this moment, the skeleton was standing in front of a bone throne, about to sit on it.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Dean and his crew, the skeleton mage grew angry, lifting his Bone Wand and making a babbling sound, obviously incanting a spell.
¡°Oh shit! Doggy Two and Doggy Three, kill him!¡±
Dean promptly gave orders. Doggy Two reacted instantly. The space on the tform was so limited that Doggy Two reached the skeleton mage in an instant, waving his long sword directly at the Skeleton Wand.
¡°Puff!¡±
The Pupil Fire in the eyes of the skeleton mage dimmed a bit, obviously a bacsh from the spell.
Before it could recover, a Bone Arrow and a Bone Fang flew through both of its eyes, directly taking out this unfortunate and unlucky skeleton mage who had juste up and was immediately closebat attacked.
[You sessfully killed the [Skeleton Mage] (Level 8) (Elite), you gained too experience points!]
[Your level has increased to level 5, your Spirit increased by 0.5, Mana limit increased to 41 points!]
[Your level increased to level 5, unlocking a new Grant Target Quota!]
[You unlocked a new skill!]
System notifications were densely popping up in front of his eyes. Before Dean could even rejoice, the skeletons below the tform started roaring¡
Chapter 21 - 21: 021 Doggy Two Template Evolution
Chapter 21: 021 Doggy Two Temte Evolution
Trantor: 549690339
In the Land of the Wraith, on the Bone Throne.
The system is crazily refreshing, with benefits and rewards leaping before his eyes.
Level has been escted to Level 5!
A new skill unlocked, and a new target quota granted.
Right now, an elite monster corpse lies before him.
At this moment, by rights, Dean McKenzie should be ted.
But Dean McKenzie is not feeling happy at all.
Well, who could be happy when they see numerous Skeleton Pupil Fire flickering and rushing towards them!
Dean McKenzie is on the verge of swearing expletives exasperatedly.
He seriously suspects that the system is rigged against him.
The previous copy heaved him right in front of a dposing corpse, this one is much worse, hurling him right into a horde of skeletons.
Isn¡¯t that plotting his death?
What faults does he, Dean McKenzie, have?
Apart from possessing a talent that is somewhat like a cheat, what other faults can he, Dean McKenzie, possess? Why is the system specifically targeting him?
¡°Damn!¡±
While swearing, Dean McKenzie quickly observes the surroundings.
What gives him some peace is the fact that the tform he is standing on is rtively high, perhaps around ten meters or so.
The whole tform is about thirty to forty square meters, perfectly square.
Three sides of the tform consist of walls that look extremely smooth and should be unscble. The only way up is a stairway about one meter wide in front.
¡°Guard that entrance!¡±
Dean McKenzie hastily dispatched Doggy Two and Doggy Three to defend that entrance.
At the same time, before the skeletons could ughter their way up, Dean McKenzie swiftly tabted the gains he received from killing the unfortunate Skeleton Mage who was on the tform.
[After unlocking 2 light spots, you obtain 5 Silver Coins, and a temte of a fragile Skeleton Mage Apprentice.]
[You used your Extract talent on the Skeleton Mage sessfully, you extracted 0.7 points of Spirit, 3 points of Mana, and a piece of Elite Temte Fragments!]
Finally secured thest Elite Fragment.
Without any hesitation, Dean McKenzie chose to merge them, and while the Elite Temte was merging, he examined his Attribute board.
On his Attribute board, Dean McKenzie saw the new skill¡ª Bone Shield.
Skill: Bone Shield
Level: Level 1 (0/100)
Incantation: With the Power of Death, create an indestructible shield.
Mana Consumption: 10 points (Activation)
Effect: Summons a shield with defence power equivalent to 1.5 times your Spiritual Power. Maximum Duration: 30 seconds
This is the defensive skill Dean McKenzie has been yearning for.
The appearance of Bone Shield puts a slight smile on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face, but it¡¯s only brief.
After all, even though the new skill is beneficial, if he can¡¯t withstand the forting wave, that¡¯ll be the end of him.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie swiftly turned his attention back to the Elite Temte.
Just as he did, the merging of the Elite Temtepleted.
[You have sessfully merged the Elite Temte!]
Name: Elite Temte
Description: Can grant an Ordinary Temte target with an Elite Temte, allowing the target to break beyond the limits of an Ordinary Temte.
Although the Elite Temte¡¯s description is straightforward, Dean McKenzie knows very well that the simpler the description, the more extraordinary the item.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie became even more aware that whether he could survive this wave depended on this one temte.
Now, he had a problem in front of him.
Who should he use this temte on?
Originally, Dean McKenzie only had two choices, either Doggy Two or Doggy Three. But as his level increased to level 5, another target quota came out, adding one more choice on his side.
He could choose to use this elite temte on himself.
However, without hesitation, Dean McKenzie crossed this choice off.
¡°At this time, using it on myself would mean being reckless with my own life.¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind was still very clear.
He knew very well, once he chose to use the elite temte on himself.
It would be equivalent to crippling his own martial prowess.
The extra quota he originally had, after enhancing Doggy Two or Doggy Three, gave him another enhancing choice. He could enhance his own attributes or add a boosting skill.
But if he uses it to boost the temte, then his temte would be boosted, and neither Doggy Two nor Doggy Three would get a boost. Therefore, his newly avable quota would be wasted.
If it were a usual time, this kind of waste wouldn¡¯t be serious, but at this life-or-death moment.
Dean McKenzie naturally has to make every bit of his strength count.
So, Dean McKenzie has only two choices now, either Doggy Two or Doggy Three!
¡°Doggy Two, in this situation, a meleebat Doggy Two is much more useful than Doggy Three who only has ten arrows left.¡±
At the same time Dean McKenzie made his decision, without any hesitation, he threw the recently acquired temte onto Doggy Two.
¡°Are you sure you want to assign the Elite Temte to your Wraith Servant?¡± ps: The assignment requires 50 Silver Coins!
¡°Yes!¡±
Dean McKenzie, his eyes wide, gritted his teeth and paid the price.
¡°You have sessfully used the Elite Temte, please select the promotion direction for your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two!¡±
1,?? Bone-hardened Little Skeleton (Boosting Defense)
2,?? Agile Little Skeleton (Boosting Agility)
3,?? Strong Little Skeleton (Boosting Strength)
4,?? Mediocre Little Skeleton (Bnced growth)
5,?? Bone Lord (Special evolution in a special environment)
In one breath, five evolution directions appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie swept his eyes over them and quickly dismissed the first four, settling on the fifth.
¡°Special evolution in a special environment?¡±
Dean McKenzie squinted and quickly thought of something, turning his head to look at the Bone Throne where the Skeleton Mage was trying to climb up.
¡°Although I don¡¯t know what kind of evolution this Bone Lord is, and what direction it would enhance after the evolution, anyone with a brain knows what to choose at this time!¡±
¡°You have confirmed the promotion direction for your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two. The promotion is starting!¡±
ording to the system prompt, Dean McKenzie¡¯s newly acquired Elite Temte, which hadn¡¯t even been warmed up, flew onto Doggy Two. Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie¡¯s hard-earned assets of 85 coins dropped down to 35 silver coins.
The temte and the coins disappeared.
Doggy Two, who had been guarding the gate of the stairs, turned around and went up to the Bone Throne and sat down.
Then, a light shone, and a progress bar appeared on Doggy Two¡¯s forehead.
¡°Promotion is expected to take 10 minutes!¡±
When this progress bar came up, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face darkened. This meant that he had to withstand the siege of hundreds of skeletons for at least 10 minutes.
The difficulty level was basically Hell.
But where for a man can say he can¡¯t?
What¡¯s more, in the current situation, Dean McKenzie has to go on whether he is capable or not!
Dean McKenzie did not have time to hesitate whether he could or not. He could only put on the ¡°Roughly Made Mana Ring¡±, then drank the two Mana Potions in one gulp. After putting on the again fresh new Bone Shield, he dismissed Doggy Three whose arrows have just run out¡.
Chapter 22 - 22: 022 The Second to Empower the Target Selection
Chapter 22: 022 The Second to Empower the Target Selection
Trantor: 549690339
Atop the high tform of the Bone Throne in the Land of the Wraith.
Skeletons charged continuously from all sides.
Dean McKenzie canceled the summoning of Doggy Three, causing it to vanish into thin air.
Such cancetion could potentially spell a lifetime farewell for Doggy Three. The usual ¡°Skeleton Summoning¡± is disposable. Once used, it¡¯s gone, and the next summon may not necessarily bring forth the same skeleton.
Yet, Dean McKenzie¡¯s dogs had a natural bond with him due to their enhancement by his talent.
As long as Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t sever this bond, he could keep summoning them.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s cancetion had two modes: one allowed re-summoning after cancetion.
But in this instance, Dean McKenzie¡¯s cancetion was a way to sever the connection.
This was pretty much akin to giving up on Doggy Three that he had raised.
He had decided to do this because Doggy Three, having used up its arrows, was not much stronger than the usual Pale Skeleton.
Keeping it would inevitably lead to its death.
It would either be used as cannon fodder by Dean McKenzie, or be torn apart by the charging skeletons.
Even though it had no intellect, Dean McKenzie still found it difficult to let the skeleton he had raised for a while die just like that.
After all, its death would be like watching ten silver coins shatter before him, hence Dean McKenzie would rather cancel the summoning of Doggy Three and let himself off the hook.
¡°Goodbye, hoping there¡¯ll be a chance to summon you in the future!¡±
After brieflymenting the loss of ten silver coins, Dean McKenzie raised his hand the next moment, used ¡°Skeleton Summoning¡±, and summoned a level 4 ¡°Pale Skeleton¡±.
Showing no particr attachment to the newly summoned skeleton, Dean McKenzie directly used it as cannon fodder.
¡°Charge!¡±
At hismand, the skeletonunched a suicide attack.
It leaped and rolled down from the stairway of the high tform.
The stairway itself was quite steep, so a skeleton rolling down was somewhat of a shock to the ones climbing up.
However, the shock wasn¡¯t significant. The iing skeletons would have easily withstood it under normal conditions.
Yet as hemanded the skeleton to jump downwards, Dean coordinated his bone strikes.
Before his skeleton collided with the climbing skeletons, his bone strike sessfully hit the foot bone of a skeleton, offsetting its bnce, and then the skeleton Deanmanded to jump urately hit it.
Suddenly, the two skeletons tumbled down together, knocking down the skeletons nearby and clearing all the skeletons on the staircase, rolling like a snowball.
It must be said, Dean McKenzie¡¯s move was truly remarkable.
The skill was sophisticated, the mastery over the timing of the strike was precise, a feat not easily aplished by most people.
Of course, the price was that the skeleton sent by Dean McKenzie was torn apart as soon as it descended.
However, summoning a skeleton in essence was a skill to summon cannon fodder.
The death of the skeleton didn¡¯t impact Dean McKenzie greatly, he even found that his proficiency in ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± had significantly improved.
¡°Could this be the correct way to use this skill?¡±
Dean McKenziemented while summoning another skeleton.
Subsequently, he sessfully held his position on the high tform using this tactic, clearing the stairway repeatedly.
He even dispatched quite a number of skeletons.
Dean McKenzie, who had just leveled up to five, saw his experience points progress by one-sixth.
His proficiency in the Summon Skeleton skill also soared.
The situation was so good that he started to believe he could easily hold out for 10 minutes.
But the good times didn¡¯tst long.
Soon, his tactic failed.
An Elite Monster had appeared.
At first, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t recognize it as an elite monster until his ordered skeleton and his bone strike bothnded and were repelled, with the skull of the skeleton imploding. Only then did he realize something was wrong, and swiftly used his Appraisal Skill.
Name: Bone Hardening Skeleton Warrior
Level: 7
Attributes:
Strength: 2.5, Agility: 1.5, Physique: 6 points
Attack: 2.5
Defense: 6 points+6
Spirit Power: 10
Skill: Bone Hardening (level 1) (Passive) (Passively increases defense cap by
Physique x 1 to 10)
Skeleton Heavy Strike (level 1) (Consumes 3 points of Spirit Power, increases the next attack by Strength x 1 plus 5)
This monster basically has the second highest attributes Dean McKenzie has faced directly.
Right, the strongest is the Skeleton Mage.
Yes, that guy is stronger than the current one, but it was unlucky. Before it could demonstrate its full fighting strength, it was killed at close quarters. This Elite Monster in front of Dean is not as easy to deal with.
Upon seeing the attributes of the enemy, Dean knows he can¡¯t stall its movement.
He gives up directly on struggling.
He gives up on preventing the enemy froming up.
However, although Dean has given up the struggle and prevented the enemy from approaching, he does notpletely resign himself.
Dean feels that there is still hope, and he could still save the situation.
So, while giving up the struggle, he forcefully consumed two Mana Potions. He had already consumed two during the battle, leaving only four of the ten Mana Potions he brought in.
After consuming the two potions, Dean fiercely used the Extraction on the Skeleton corpses underneath the tform.
[You have sessfully used Extraction on the Fragile Skeleton Warrior, you gained 0.2 Attack!]
[You have sessfully used Extraction on the Fragile Skeleton Warrior, you gained 0.3 Strength!]
In one fell swoop, Dean used the Extraction eight times, relying on the two potions in his body and a Mana Ring.
Luckily, every attempt was sessful, and even triggered critical strikes each time.
The least gain was 0.2 Attribute Points.
After eight attempts, Dean sessfully gained a total of 2.1 Attribute Points in various attributes.
Combined with the previous sporadic Extractions Dean used and the 1 Attribute Point obtained from the Skeleton Mage at the beginning, Dean¡¯s total Attribute Points extracted has reached around 4.
While counting his attributes, Dean was retreating, directly retreating to the side of Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne.
While retreating, Dean also opened his Talent page.
At this point, it was time for Dean to use thest Grant Quota he had left over.
The problem was, how should Dean use this new Grant Quota?
Should he add it to Spirit?
If Dean could add all 4 points to Spirit, it would be quite noticeable. Dean would have an additional 40 Mana, Bone Fang¡¯s damage would increase by 4.4, and Bone Shield¡¯s defense would increase by 6 points.
The problem was, out of these 4 points, only 0.5 were added to Spirit.
If added, Dean would only gain 5 Mana, and the increase of Bone Fang and
Bone Shield could only be described as negligible.
So, under the current circumstances, instead of adding to Spirit, directly enhancing the skill might be more immediate.
The problem was which skill to enhance?
Should he enhance Bone Fang or Bone Shield?
¡°It should be defense, if I add to Bone Fang, the 4 attribute points, not to mention whether they can solve the Elite Monster on the opposite side, even if they can, there are countless Skeletons behind. With my Mana and casting speed, offense is definitely not going to work. I can only go all out on defense now!¡±
Having said that, Dean jumped onto the Bone Throne, stood in front of Doggy Two, and made the choice to grant Talent.
[Your second Talent Grant target selection isplete, the chosen target is the Skill ¨C ¡®Bone Shield¡¯!]
[Please note, since your selected target is a Skill, the Grant method will be different from before.
For the Skill, within 2 Skill levels, you can only open an Attribute Grant for a duration of 5 minutes.
During this time, you can freely enhance this Skill. After the Grant duration, until Bone Shield¡¯ reaches Level 3, you will not be able to enhance this Skill through Grant..]

In the Land of the Wraith, atop the Bone Throne.
Dean McKenzie was stunned by the system prompt that refreshed before his eyes.
He had not expected that the way to assign skills would actually be like this.
¡°Does this mean that as long as I have enough money and enough extraction points, given the right opportunity, I could upgrade normal skills into divine skills all at once?¡±
Realizing the actual way this rule works, Dean¡¯s heart ached.
Without a doubt, under this rule, using this method of skill enhancement now would undoubtedly be a waste.
But what can he do now?
In the face of life and death, he had to waste it, even if it was indeed a waste!
Moreover, he had no choice but to waste at this moment.
As he arrived atop the Bone Throne, that elite monster had already caught up to him.
The 1.8 Agility of the opponent was not much for Doggy Three, who Dean had just sent away, but for Dean, it was still fast.
¡°With the Power of Death, forge the indestructible shield!¡±
Confronting the oppressive elite monster, Dean chanted the Bone Shield spell without hesitation.
Voom!
A 30cm x 100cm bone shield appeared in front of Dean, urately blocking the elite monster¡¯s attack.
Under normal circumstances, the Bone Shield activated by Dean¡¯s 4.1 Spirit had a Defense as high as 6.125, which was quite easy to sustain an ordinary elite monster with a Strength of 2.5.
But it could only resist temporarily.
Because he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long!
The elite monster struck again, and the Bone Shield¡¯s Defense wavered heavily.
One more strike, and the Bone Shield would fail.
But by this time, the elite monster¡¯s fist was already clenched again.
The worst part was, this clenched fist had a brief pause, obviously umting energy for the next move.
It was clearly preparing to use a skill, Dean dared not dy, he threw out the talent he was gripping.
[You have used your talent and started to enhance the Bone Shield!]
[You consume 4 Silver Coins, assigning all remaining extraction points to the Bone Shield!]
The 4 Silver Coins were consumed, and the Bone Shield that was on the verge of copse lit up in front of Dean.
At the same time, the light ignited on the Bone Shield, the elite monster activated the Skeleton Heavy Strike skill and mmed its fist heavily onto the shining Bone Shield.
The attack of this punch reached 10 points.
It was horrifying.
The original Bone Shield definitely couldn¡¯t withstand it.
But the enhanced Bone Shield could resist this hit, quite easily.
Obviously, Dean took advantage of the skill upgrade bug. Well, it can¡¯t be called a bug since Dean paid the price for it.
[Your skill enhancement status is interfered, you need to pay 1 Silver Coin for repair!]
¡°Here you go!¡±
Dean, who was usually stingy, was quite generous at this moment.
¡°Donate 5000!¡±
While he grandly threw out 5 Silver Coins, the Bone Fang that he had been chanting earlier was finally ready and shot out.
¡°Thud!¡±
The Bone Fang hit the eye socket of the elite monster precisely.
The power of this attack reached 4.5, more than twice as powerful as when Dean was at level 1 dealing with corpses.
But the damage that could instantly kill corpses before cannot instantly kill the elite monster in front of him now.
Although the eye socket was a vulnerable point for this skeleton, and its Defense was slightly lower, it was not that easy to pierce through.
The Bone Fang stuck into the thin bone behind the eye socket, but couldn¡¯t pierce through the defense, and this enraged the elite monster.
This elite monster instantly became furious.
Another Skeleton Heavy Strike came out. This attack seemed to be full of resentment, and the power felt even more terrifying than thest one.
But unfortunately, it met Dean who was hacking the game.
The blow was once again blocked by the Bone Shield, causing no harm to Dean McKenzie.
On the contrary, it gave Dean McKenzie a chance, and another Bone Fang was again shot at the eye of his opponent.
Two consecutive hits the second hit already caused damage to the Elite Monster.
Although the Elite Monster of this map seemed a little intelligent, they were not many.
It didn¡¯t even know what fear meant; it only knew anger.
Activating the skill for the third time, with an intent to shatter the Bone Shield in front of him and smash Dean McKenzie to pieces.
Then, the third Bone Fang from Dean McKenzie hit its eye socket.
¡°Puch¡¯s!¡± the Elite Monster in front of Dean McKenzie finally copsed weakly to the ground.
[You sessfully killed the ¡°Bone Hardening Skeleton Warrior¡±(Level 7)(Elite), and gained 80 Experience Points!]
[You used Talent Extraction on the Bone Hardening Skeleton Warrior. As you are currently under the enhanced status of the Bone Shield, please choose your extraction direction:
Currently avable: Defense Intensity, Endurance]
[You have chosen Defense Intensity, sessfully extracted 1 point of Defense, and used 1 Silver Coin to merge into the Bone Shield skill! ]
[You sessfully extracted Elite Temte Fragments (Bone Hardening), do you want to merge this fragment into the Bone Shield skill?
This merge requires the use of 20 Silver Coins!]
The system prompts were constantly refreshing, but Dean McKenzie had no time to look at all.
Because at this time, the stage was already filled with skeletons.
Looking at the gradually dense skeletons in front of him, and then at Doggy Two who probably needed another minute toplete the upgrade behind him.
Dean McKenzie took a deep breath.
¡°It¡¯s a bit clumsy, but it¡¯s not hopeless.
For this minute, I, Dean McKenzie, will hold on.¡±
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, drank two more Mana Potions, held a Life Potion in his hand, and summoned another skeleton.
Then, a fierce battle broke out.
Even though Dean McKenzie had a skill enhancement BUG, the use of the BUG also came with a price, the Bone Shield could not rotate at this time and could only defend an area of 0.3 square meters.
The rest was up to Dean McKenzie to defend.
The difficulty was considerable.
Even though Dean McKenzie could multitask and control the skeletons with expertise, holding on for one minute still came at a great cost.
He had several wounds on his body.
The worst one was an arrow stuck in his chest, which almost cost him his life.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie had two Life Potions, which helped him to survive and barely hold on for a minute.
Just as that one minute was about to end, the intense offensive of the skeletons suddenly withdrew.
Dean McKenzie, whose pressure had greatly reduced, didn¡¯t have time to feel relieved before his face changed.
He saw four different looking skeletonsing over.
Without a doubt, these were Elite Monsters, and four of them all at once.
They were clearly intending to kill Dean McKenzie.
Although only a few seconds were left until the minute was up, Dean McKenzie had no confidence in facing the four Elite Monsters in front of him, even if Doggy Two sessfully advanced, he wasn¡¯t sure they could win, or if he could protect Dean McKenzie.
But whether Dean McKenzie had confidence or not, he inevitably faced it.
After a stalemate for a moment, the four Elite Skeletons started charging at the Bone Throne at the same time.
The skeletons behind them also followed closely, in a grand and terrifying manner.
But under such circumstances, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t scared.
¡°Damn it,e on then, I¡¯m Dean McKenzie, the fearless Dean McKenzie!¡±
Dean McKenzie, covered in blood, roared at the iing skeletons. At this moment, Dean McKenzie, drained of his Mana, held only his Magic Wand, preparing to fight them bare-handed.
At this moment, Doggy Two stood up behind him!
Simultaneously, the Bone Crown that had appeared above Doggy Two¡¯s head and the Bone Throne behind him lit up together, and a wave of invisible power spread out.
In an instant, all the imposing skeletons in front of Dean McKenzie knelt down, as if they were subjects worshiping their king.
Meanwhile, before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, the system notification was furiously refreshing¡

Under the Bone Throne in the Land of the Wraith.
A system prompt refreshed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Two¡¯s Temte has been sessfully promoted into [Minor Bone Lord Temte]!]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Two, has upgraded its temte to the Elite level, all attributes increased by 1 point, unlocking the Spirit Power bar.]
Name: Minor Bone Lord (Doggy Two)
Level: Level 5 (38%)
Temte: Elite
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 4.2, Agility: 5, Physique: 2, Spirit: 1
Attack: 4-4
Defense: 2.6
Spirit Power: 10
Skill- Bone King (Level 1) (Special Skill, triggered in conjunction with the Bone Throne, this skill is activated, influencing all bone-rted undead within the range of the Bone Throne.
A long as they do not exceed Level 10, and temte quality does not exceed Elite quality, they will bow at his feet, controlling life and death!) (Without the Bone Throne, consuming 5 points of Spirit Power could plunge enemies into one second of chaos.
ps: The effect is doubled on bone-rted monsters!)
Looking at the system prompts before his eyes, and the attribute panel before him.
Then looking at the hundreds of skeletons prostrating themselves before him, bloodied all over, and Dean McKenzie, holding a magic wand, standing upright, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, it was over.
Finally, it was safe!
Doggy Two had finallye into his own!
At this moment, Dean McKenzie was nearly ready to sit on the ground and rest thoroughly.
¡°Wait, I can¡¯t rest yet; my skill enhance hasn¡¯t beenpleted.¡±
Doggy Two¡¯s evolution and the joy it brought with resolving the crisis did not make Dean McKenzie forget about the matter of enhancing his Bone Shield skill.
At this moment, a little over one minute of the five minutes had passed.
There was still about three minutes left.
¡°There¡¯s still time, I can push further, I cannot waste this opportunity to enhance!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, his gaze shifting to the four elite monsters prostrating themselves before him.
¡°Doggy Two, kill them!¡±
At themand from Dean McKenzie, the Pupil Fire in Doggy Two¡¯s eyes flickered.
With four ¡°thuds,¡± the Soul me in the skulls of the four elite monsters before Dean McKenzie exploded instantly.
[You have sessfully killed 4 Skeleton Elite Monsters (Level 6), you have gained 180 experience points!]
The leap in experience points almost sent Dean McKenzie directly to Level 6.
But at this moment, Dean McKenzie was not focusing on his experience points at all.
Instead, he was the first one to go forth, activating all the light points the four elite monsters exploded into.
[YOU activated 7 Light Points, you gained 15 Silver Coins, the equipment Bone Ne, and the [Fragile skeleton Warrior Temte] ]
Name: Bone Ne
Quality: Common
Level: Level 5
Effect 1: Increases Spirit by 2 points
Effect 2: Bone Fang skill+1 (maximum Level 3)
You must say, Dean McKenzie was fortunate this time. The Silver Coin gains were good, and the equipment he exploded into suited him just fine.
Dean McKenzie quickly equipped the [Bone Ne], his maximum mana instantly increased by 20 points, reaching 61 points.
Afterward, Dean McKenzie lifted his hands and performed four [Extractions] on the Elite monsters on the ground.
[You have sessfully used the Talent [Extraction] on the [Strong Skeleton Warrior], You have extracted 1 point of Defense and integrated it into the [Bone Shield]. You have extracted an Elite Essence (Strength).]
[You can choose to spend 20 Silver Coins to integrate it into a skill, or choose to spend 5 Silver Coins to enhance the Elite Essence [Bone Hardening]!] [You have sessfully used the Talent [Extraction] on the [Agile Skeleton Warrior], You have extracted 1 point of Defense and integrated it into the [Bone Shield]. You have extracted an Elite Essence (Agility).]
[You can choose to spend 20 Silver Coins to integrate it into a skill, or choose to spend 5 Silver Coins to enhance the Elite Essence [Bone Hardening]!]
The system prompts constantly refresh.
In one fell swoop, Dean McKenzie obtained 4 Elite Essences.
This was Dean McKenzie¡¯s most lucrative yield since bing a professional.
Bringing Dean McKenzie both pain and pleasure.
The delight was in obtaining these four Elite essences, the pain was in hiscking funds.
Currently, he only had 37 Silver Coins, including what he had just acquired. Not to mention integrating all of the Elite Essences, he didn¡¯t even have enough to enhance each of the other four to the level of one.
¡°Doggy Two, kill all these skeletons around us, all of them!¡± Seeing the remaining time steadily decrease, Dean McKenzie summoned a skeleton and then decisively issued themand.
Upon hismand, all the skeletons near the Bone Throne copsed in unison.
Although these skeletons were just ordinary ones, their sheer numbers were quite overwhelming.
Once all fallen, the experience points gained were quite a significant amount. [You have killed [Pale Skeletons] (347 units) (Level 5), gaining 347 Experience Points!]
[Your level has increased to Level 6, your Spirit has increased by 0.5, your Mana limit has risen to 46!]
[Your Doggy Two has increased to Level 6, his Strength and Agility have increased by 0.3, Physique and Spirit have increased by 0.2, Spirit Power limit has increased by 2!]
[Your Summon Skeleton skill level has increased to Level 5!]
Although his level was increasing, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to that. Instead, he was instructing Doggy Two and the newly named Doggy Three to collect the glowing points on the ground.
He, on the other hand, was busy with the matter of enhancing the [Bone Shield].
[You have chosen the Elite Essence [Bone Hardening] for integration!]
[You have used the Elite Essences [Strength] [Agility] [Bone Hardening] [Bone Hardening] to enhance the integrated [Bone Hardening]!]
[Ding, congrattions, you havepleted the first skill enhancement of your [Bone Shield]!]
Skill: Bone Shield (Enhanced),
Level: 1 level (7/100)
Consumption: 25 points
Chant: With the power of death, forge an unbreakable shield
Effect: Summons a bone shield with a defense value of 2 plus 9 times the spirit,sting 1 minute invisible Shield: Your skeleton will constantly have an invisible shield with a defense value of 9, which will recover within 30 minutes once broken.
Skill Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 2) (The skill¡¯s passive defense increases by a hundred percent (limit to 50 increase)) (This effect does not apply to the Invisible Shield)
Looking at the skill attributes, Dean McKenzie silently did the math. His current Spirit power, including equipment, was 6.6. The defense of the thrown Bone Shield could reach as high as 44.4!
More importantly, Dean McKenzie would have an extrayer of protection on him from now on, that was worth 9 points of defense.
You know, a piece of leather armor with 3 defense points costs at least several silver coins. Dean McKenzie was equivalently carrying twenty silvers on his body for safety, did he feel secure or what?
Worth it!
Dean McKenzie immediately felt that the money he spent was worth it. Of course, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t forget Doggy Two and the merits of the skeleton horde in front of him.
¡°I¡¯m also fortunate that I chose the Bone Lord evolution path for Doggy Two. After the evolution was sessful, I was able to control the survival of this skeleton horde. It was like getting a big gift package after the evolution was sessful, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to create this skill.¡± Dean McKenzie said joyfully but as soon as the words left his mouth.
A system prompt refreshed right in front of his eyes, which made Dean McKenzie¡¯s previously beaming face immediately change.
¡°Damn, I knew there wouldn¡¯t be any pie falling from the sky!

Land of the Wraith, seated on the Bone Throne.
A system message refreshed itself before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Detection: Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two, has evolved into a Bone Lord and haspletely exterminated (subdued) the original skeleton group. You have sessfully activated the special dungeon task ¨C Master of the Wraiths!)
[Task: Master of the Wraiths]
Task description: This lost Land of the Wraith needs a master, as the owner of the Bone n Lord, you are eligible and obligated to rule the entire Land of the
Wraith.
Next, please lead your Wraith Servants, lead its people to conquer this ce, ps: This task is a specialpulsory task, you can not refuse before your Wraith Servant dies!
pss: Since you have activated the task [Master of the Wraiths], your main task has been temporarily frozen and will only be reactivated when youplete the [Master of the Wraiths] task or when the task fails!
Task reward: Conquer it, and it¡¯s all yours!]
Staring at this system message, Dean McKenzie foundpletely numb.
¡°God damn it, I just sacrificed the entire skeleton group, and this task was activated immediately.
I suspect the doggy system is messing with me!¡±
Now Doggy Two doesn¡¯tmand a single skeleton. What are they going to use toplete this task and fight for the Master of the Wraiths?
What¡¯s worse is that this is apulsory task.
The kind that cannot be given up.
What? Someone suggested giving up Doggy Two?
Joking aside, how could Dean McKenzie possibly give up on Doggy Two?
It¡¯s not like it¡¯s Doggy Three!
So, Dean McKenzie could only ponder how toplete this task.
¡°Forget it, what¡¯s done is done. There¡¯s no point in saying anything now. Let¡¯s just think about how to solve this task.
Who knows, this task may unexpectedly be simple!
Perhaps there aren¡¯t many challenges left in this Land of the Wraiths¡¡± [Please note, your territory has been invaded, please prepare to resist!] Before Dean McKenzie had even finished speaking, the system message mmed straight into his face.
Meanwhile, standing on the high tform, Dean McKenzie cautiously scanned his surroundings under the system¡¯s prompt and quickly locked onto his target.
Around a hundred meters across on the opposite side of the tform, dozens of staggering corpses ambled their way towards them.
Upon seeing the familiar figures of this ¡®old gang¡¯, Dean McKenzie found himself able to breathe a sigh of relief.
With a tform serving as a frontline against this scale of the Corpse Swarm, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t particrly afraid of them.
However, Dean McKenzie immediately deployed his Appraisal Skill to inspect the attributes of the Corpse Swarm.
[You have sessfully used the Appraisal Skill and have obtained the attributes of the [Corpse] and [Strong Corpse]!]
Name: Corpse
Level: Level 7
Attributes:
Strength: 3.9, Agility: 0.7, Physique: 1.3
Attack: 3-9
Defense: 1.3
Name: Strong Corpse (Elite)
Level: Level 8
Attributes:
Strength: 7-8 (3-9), Agility: 1, Physique: 4
Attack: 7-S+3-9
Defense: 2
Spirit Power: 10
Skill: Strong (Level 1) (Passive) (Increase strength by fifty percent) (Upper limit io)
Corpse w (Upon activation, quickly rush to the enemy, deal damage equal to 1.5 times the attack power to the enemy, and apply a poison effect)
Seeing the attributes of the corpses, Dean McKenzie frowned. ¡°Although I knew that the base of the corpses was stronger than the skeletons even before seeing the attributes, I didn¡¯t expect them to be so much stronger.
Not only are their basic attributes much higher, but that Elite Monster even has two skills.
Moreover, the basic level of the corpses on this map seems to be higher than that of the skeletons.
It seems that even if I hadn¡¯t sacrificed the entire skeleton group,pleting the task with the skeleton group would have been a pipe dream at the very least, with the difficulty at least being of nightmare level.¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he estimated the time it would take for the Corpse Swarm to make their way over, while also checking the resources he still had on hand.
¡°I¡¯m out of Life Potions, I still have 5 Mana Potions plus what exploded from the sacrifice of the skeleton group.
As for money, I still have 3 Silver Coins.
Then there¡¯s the two temtes, Fragile Skeleton Mage and Fragile Skeleton Warrior.
I don¡¯t have enough money to enhance the new Doggy Three!
But, enhancing Doggy Two shouldn¡¯t be a problem!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, his gaze turned to Doggy Two.
Now that Doggy Two had merged with the Elite Temte, it should be able to continue to be enhanced.
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie began to fling out Talents.
After spending all his mana on three extractions, he gulped down all five remaining Mana Potions.
A single bottle of Small Mana Potion can recover ioo mana points over 2 minutes, which is approximately 1 mana point per second.
After downing 5 bottles in one go, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana regenerated at a rate of about 4 points per second.
With an average of several seconds able to be used for one Talent Extraction.
With 561 mana points, he could use a total of 28 Extractions.
Of course, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t use them all up.
In fact, he only used 18.
While using extractions, he attributed the extracted properties to Doggy Two. [You¡¯ve spent 400 Copper Coins, sessfully added 0.2 Strength to your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two.]
Seeing the system prompt, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
The price had doubled. The money that originally could have increased Doggy Two¡¯s attributes by 3 points could now only add 1.5 points.
Dean McKenzie put all his remaining money to use and increased Doggy Two¡¯s strength by 1.5, bringing his total strength up to 6 points.
Seeing Doggy Two now at 6 in strength, Dean McKenzie nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, the tension from the approaching Corpse Swarm dissipated significantly in his heart, and even his gaze upon the Corpse Swarm held a fair bit of anticipation.
¡°A mere several dozens of the Corpse Swarm dare to act wantonly in front of me? Don¡¯t they know I¡¯m not the same as before?
If they want to beat me, they¡¯ll need to multiply their numbers by at least¡ holy crap!¡±
Before Dean McKenzie¡¯s words were even finished, he saw another swarm of corpses rushing over from the left side of the high tform. The number wasn¡¯t quite overwhelming, but it was definitely dense.
This number instantly killed Dean McKenzie¡¯s confidence.
¡°There¡¯s no point in fighting this!¡±
If it was just the original Corpse Swarm, Dean McKenzie might have been able to handle it, but facing the current scale of the Corpse Swarm, Dean McKenzie could only run.
¡°Doggy Two, let¡¯s go!¡±
Dean McKenzie hastily had Doggy Two carry him down from the high tform in three strides. Taking advantage of the fact that the Corpse Swarm hadn t encircled them yet, they ran their way out towards a gap on the right.
With Doggy Two¡¯s impressive agility of 5-3 and the newly improved strength of 6 points, carrying Dean McKenzie was no strenuous task.
The only issue was Dean McKenzie¡¯sfort, but that was a trivial detail. Soon enough, Doggy Two managed to pull a significant distance between themselves and the Corpse Swarm. They were just on the verge of breaking out of the encirclement until they saw another crowd of shadows up ahead. At this point Dean McKenzie¡¯s face instantly darkened.
¡°Damn, is it end of the season or something? Why is everyone rushing to farm the skeleton group for points?¡±

Land of the Wraith.
System notifications began to refresh in Dean McKenzie¡¯s view as he released his skill.
[You have sessfully used the Appraisal Skill, you have sessfully identified the attributes of the[Little Ghost].]
Name: Little Ghost

Attributes:
Agility: 1, Physique: 1, Spirit: 7
Attack: 7
Defense: 0.5
Description: While it might appear weak and frail, without the correct method to vanquish it, it is an undying entity!
¡°Doggy Two, hit the brakes!¡±
Realizing the magnitude of the attributes disyed on countless ghosts in front of him, Dean quickly tells Doggy Two to stop.
If they are this strong based on their basic attributes alone, god knows how powerful the Elite Monsters would be.
If Dean dared to charge in there, wouldn¡¯t he just be signing his own death sentence in minutes?
But standing still was not an option.
After all, right now, the Corpses that outnumbered the ghosts were slowly closing in from behind.
If they moved forward, they would surely die.
If they moved backward, the Corpses would surround them, resulting in shattering to pieces.
As a result, Dean seemed to be pushed into a corner.
¡°What do I do?¡±
He looked at the two groups of Wraiths gradually surrounding him from both sides.
In this critical moment, Dean¡¯s mind was still surprisingly calm, and he quickly made a decision.
¡°We¡¯ll have to risk it all, Doggy Two, turn around, we¡¯re running back to the Corpse!¡±
Afterwards, Deanmanded Doggy Two, who was carrying him on its back, to turn around and run towards the Corpse.
This time, Doggy Two¡¯s running was not the life-and-death sprint from earlier.
Under Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Two constantly controlled its speed. It didn¡¯t run all out, and merely barely outpaced the Ghost Group, moving towards the Corpse Swarm.
Meanwhile, Deanmanded Doggy Two¡¯s movements while simultaneously keeping an eye on the Corpse Swarm. He adjusted Doggy Two¡¯s path of movement continuously.
Under Dean¡¯s control, five minutester, they bumped into the Corpse Swarm.
Dean¡¯s observations weren¡¯t useless.
The ce they crashed into the Corpse Swarm was his carefully chosen spot, surrounded by ordinary Corpse.
With the Bone Shield that Dean prepared for him, Doggy Two easily broke into the Corpse Swarm.
At the same time Dean and Doggy Two plunged into the Corpse Swarm, the Ghost Group they had lured upon their tails also bumped into the Corpse Swarm.
Instantly, the fight between the two different species of Wraiths exploded.
Clearly, Dean¡¯s tactic was to instigate a fight between the Ghost Group and the Corpse Swarm.
To thereby give himself a chance to escape with his life.
Having this nned out, Dean¡¯s first step wasplete.
But it was only the first step. Now, Dean needed to proceed with the second phase!
Only when the second phase waspleted, could Dean be considered truly safe.
¡°Turn around, and charge toward the Ghost Group!¡±
Dean McKenzie gave an order that left everyone stunned without hesitation.
Doggy Two also executed the order without hesitation, turning around and charging back at the Ghost Group.
Dean McKenzie did this for a simple reason.
Even though Doggy Two¡¯s strength had reached 6 points, granting it an absolute advantage over ordinary corpses, this advantage was not enough for it to carry Dean McKenzie through hundreds or even thousands of corpses.
But turning to the Ghost Group, it was a different story.
The Ghost Group did not have any strength attributes, as long as Dean McKenzie could withstand their damage, he could escape through them.
So why didn¡¯t he do this from the beginning?
Joking aside, without the Corpse Swarm to distract the Ghost Group¡¯s attention, if Dean McKenzie had done this from the beginning, it would have been a straight path to death.
Even now, it wasn¡¯t easy for Dean McKenzie to move through the Ghost Group.
As soon as Doggy Two rushed out of the Corpse Swarm and into the Ghost Group, the Bone Shield was touched several times.
Just these few touches nearly shattered the Bone Shield, which had been perfectly fine among the Corpse Swarm.
Keep in mind, this is an enhanced version of Bone Shield.
If the Bone Shield hadn¡¯t been enhanced, Dean McKenzie and the others might have been wiped out in this wave.
Didn¡¯t have time for retaliation, Dean McKenzie immediately recited another Bone Shield, thenmanded Doggy Two to rush out of the Ghost Group at full speed.
All the way, Dean McKenzie was fully focused on controlling the Bone Shield to perform as much defense as possible.
To ensure that Doggy Two wouldn¡¯t be harmed and, more importantly, the Bone Shield wouldn¡¯t be shattered.
Dean McKenzie was only in the Ghost Group for about a minute, he had to resummon the Bone Shield three times before he barely made it out.
Anyone else in such a situation would have certainly tried to get away from the danger as quickly as possible.
But not Dean McKenzie!
After breaking through the Ghost Group and ensuring there were no chasers behind him, and that neither the Corpse Swarm nor the Ghost Group were focusing on him at the moment, Dean McKenzie found a rtively safe and hidden spot to watch the ongoing battle.
The battle between the Corpse Swarm and the Ghost Group had now reached a peak.
Dean McKenzie was curious about which side woulde out victorious.
He wanted to know whether the Corpse Swarm or the Ghost Group was stronger.
¡°Clearly, the Ghost Group is stronger!¡±
After watching for a while, Dean McKenzie had a clear understanding of both sides¡¯ strengths.
The Corpse Swarm was not as powerful as the Ghost Group.
Although the Ghost Group was not fast in attacking, each attack took several seconds or even tens of seconds. Their attack method was a bit stiff, but basically, each attack could take a corpse away, at least an ordinary corpse.
The Corpse Swarm, on the other hand, moved quickly, but their attacks did not harm the Ghost Group.
At first, Dean McKenzie thought that the Ghost Group had the ability to physically be immune, which scared him. A level 9 monster was so against heaven?
Later Dean McKenzie realized that this was not the case. The Ghost Group did not have the physical immunity ability, it is only that the Corpse Swarm didn¡¯t hit the right spot.
¡°The weak point of that Ghost Group is the ck me in the center. As long as it¡¯s hit, even a corpse can kill them instantly!¡±
As a bystander, Dean McKenzie quickly found the weakness of Ghost Group.
But Dean McKenzie¡¯s discovery did not change the situation of the battle below.
After all, he, not the Corpse Swarm, had discovered Ghost Group¡¯s weaknesses.
In the battle, except for asionally a few corpses hitting the spot by luck, few could damage the Ghost Group.
Consequently, the battle had be a one-sided ughter.
Soon, hundreds of corpses had died.
Just as all the corpses were about to get wiped out, suddenly, all the corpses paused and then turned around and left as if they had received somemand. How could the Ghost Group let them go so easily?
They continued to chase and kill, and in the end, only a few dozen out of the several hundred Corpse Swarm managed to escape.
Looking at those escaping corpses, Dean McKenzie had another bold idea in his mind!
Chapter 27 - 27: 027 Enhance Doggy Two
Chapter 27: 027 Enhance Doggy Two
Trantor: 549690339
In the Land of the Wraith, behind the retreating Corpse Swarm.
Dean McKenzie, enduring the pain in his hands, body, and thighs, was lying on Doggy Two, quietly following behind the Corpse Swarm.
Yes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s bold idea was targeted at this defeated Corpse Swarm.
He nned to take them all down.
But not now.
Dean McKenzie nned to follow this Corpse Swarm to their base before striking.
Since he decided to take on the task of the [Lord of the Wraith], Dean McKenzie was certainly going to eliminate all wraiths in the Land of the Wraith.
He didn¡¯t know how many wraith forces existed in the Land of the Wraith.
But he was very clear that he could not possibly clear all the wraith forces at once.
You eat a meal one bite at a time, and you take down the wraith forces one by one.
And this Corpse Swarm is Dean McKenzie¡¯s first target.
Soon, Dean McKenzie followed this Corpse Swarm to theirir.
It was a vast cemetery.
At a nce, there were small grave mounds everywhere.
Dean McKenzie stared at this cemetery, watching dozens of corpses enter the cemetery, scattered, and burrow into graves. His eyebrows furrowed.
¡°In this situation, it¡¯s difficult for me to estimate how many are in this Corpse Swarm!¡±
However, it seems that the problem is not very serious after all, I never thought about breaking in rashly.¡±
Dean McKenzie said that and conjured a Little Skeleton.
Obviously, Dean McKenzie nned to repeat the tactics he used on the Rotting Corpse in, drawing out the corpses one by one to kill.
Although the Corpse Swarm¡¯s final withdrawal behavior suggested to Dean McKenzie that there was certainly an intelligent corpse amongst them.
But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t take it much to heart.
¡°That guy might have some intelligence, but definitely not much, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t have lost so badly. My tactics should still work!¡±
Dean McKenzie said,manding the Little Skeleton to go toward the huge cemetery 150 meters away to lure the monsters.
As a result, the Little Skeleton just went over and lured the monsters out. He hadn¡¯t run two steps before a corpse directly smashed him onto the ground.
Obviously, the corpses in the Land of the Wraith were different from those in the Rotting Corpse in.
It was virtually impossible for Dean McKenzie to rely on a Little Skeleton to lure the monsters.
But the problem still wasn¡¯t big.
If the Little Skeleton couldn¡¯t lure the monsters, Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two could do it themselves.
¡°It seems I can¡¯t save this effort!¡±
Dean McKenzie, just down from Doggy Two and saw Little Skeleton crushed, after rubbing his pain, climbed back onto Doggy Two¡¯s back.
Then Doggy Two carried Dean McKenzie to the outskirts of the huge grave.
Just arriving, Dean McKenzie conjured another Little Skeleton to go in.
The Little Skeleton suddenly entered the grave, awakening several corpses around him. The Little Skeleton was shattered in a few strikes.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t care. He conjured a Bone Fang aiming at the chest of a corpse.
A Bone Fang redirected the hostility of several corpses which Dean McKenzie then lured out of the grave area.
Just out of the grave about fifty meters, Dean McKenzie, after confirming no other corpses came out from the grave, let Doggy Two put him down. Then hemanded Doggy Two to quickly kill the five lured out corpses.
[You have killed [Corpse] (Level 7). You gained 10 Experience Points!]
[You opened a light point and received 100 Copper Coins!]
The gain was not high, but this was just the beginning.
After the first offense, it was much easier for Dean McKenzie to attract and kill the monsters.
Following Doggy Two, McKenzie directly entered the grave area for the second time, drawing out three or four corpses.
By the third time, McKenzie¡¯s courage had grown even more.
Given his current strength, as long as he wasn¡¯t surrounded by a swarm of corpses, his safety was pretty much guaranteed.
So, not only did McKenzie charge in directly, but he also caused quite a ruckus inside.
With an agility rating of 5.3 and a strength of 6, Doggy Two, carrying McKenzie, toppled seven or eight tombstones in session, drawing out more than a dozen corpses.
McKenzie didn¡¯t understand why seven or eight tombstones would draw out so many corpses.
Nevertheless, all those corpses that were drawn out, were individually killed by Doggy Two at themand of McKenzie, who wanted to conserve mana.
Afterward, McKenzie would circle therge grave, firing a shot and then shifting locations.
Fighting and resting in turns.
Of course, the corpse swarm wouldn¡¯t possibly be unresponsive to McKenzie¡¯s constant attacks.
From McKenzie¡¯s sixth offense, the boss within the corpse swarm had already reacted.
Issuing a fierce howl, it summoned all the corpses in therge grave to counter McKenzie.
But it was of no use.
McKenzie never confronted them head-on.
Retreat when the enemy advances, harass when the enemy retreats.
A false show of strength, make noise in the east to attack west!
Facing the unintelligent corpse swarm, McKenzie employed all his strategies. Wasn¡¯t this bullying the corpses?
The poor corpse swarm was miserably bullied.
But McKenzie was very patient.
He would only strike when the opportunity presented itself. In fact, if no suitable opportunity arose, McKenzie could remain motionless for one to two hours.
Anyway, he had plenty of time, and the longer he waited, he could umte more mana, using extraction more times.
From the time McKenzie arrived at therge grave, he spent a total of three days drawing out, ambushing, and attacking two to three hundred corpses, including one elite corpse.
The two to three hundred corpses dropped more than twenty points of light, allowing McKenzie to umte 18 Silver Coins, six Mana Potions, and one Life Potion.
Of these, McKenzie had already used 17 of the 18 Silver Coins.
Unquestionably, these Silver Coins were used on Doggy Two.
With McKenzie clearing the 31st corpse swarm and theirplete eradication, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.
[You spend 4.00 Copper Coins to impart 0.2 strength to Doggy Two!]
[You have cumtively imbued your wraith servant Doggy Two with 10 attribute points, reaching the current limit of attribute allocation.
Please enhance your own talent level, or upgrade the quality of the target temte, or level up to continue enhancing.]
[Your level has increased to level seven, your Spirit has increased by 0.5, and your Mana limit has increased to 51!]
[Your wraith servant Doggy Two¡¯s level has increased to level seven, his strength and agility have increased by 0.3, his physique and spirit have increased by 0.2, and his spirit power limit has increased by 2 points.]
Looking at the refreshed system prompt, a satisfied smile appears on McKenzie¡¯s face.
¡°It¡¯s not easy, after three days, I¡¯ve finally strengthened Doggy Two¡¯s attributes to their limit!
10 attribute points, all focused on Strength, and now Doggy Two¡¯s Strength is as high as 14.8.
With Doggy Two now, plus a Bone Shield, he¡¯s simply invincible!¡±
During his speech, McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but fix his gaze towards therge grave opposite him.
Looking at therge grave with only a few dozen corpses left, McKenzie grins and says: ¡°It¡¯s about time to end this. With my current strength, I should be able to take on this swarm of corpses..¡±
Chapter 28 - 28: 028 Corpse Swarm of Destruction
Chapter 28: 028 Corpse Swarm of Destruction
Trantor: 549690339
Land of the Wraith, outside therge graveyard.
After carrying out guerri warfare with a corpse swarm for three days, Dean McKenzie, along with Doggy Two and Doggy Three, calmly made their way into therge cemetery.
As soon as they showed their heads, drawing near to therge graveyard, the corpse swarm inside went berserk.
In just a few minutes, the swarm assembled and charged aggressively at Dean McKenzie.
However, the shock and fear that Dean McKenzie originally felt when he first encountered the corpse swarm had long faded away. He even felt a bit sorry for this pathetic swarm.
The original swarm, which numbered close to a thousand, had been reduced to fewer than 50 after being obstructed by the ghost group and steadily whittled down by Dean McKenzie over a period of three days.
At this point, the impact of the less than 50 corpse swarm charging over was far from intimidating.
Dean McKenzie even felt they were likembs being led to the ughter.
The one that ran the fastest was a corpse that seemed a bit shorter than the rest.
Its speed was astonishing.
Leading the other corpses by several meters, it charged into the shooting range of Dean McKenzie ahead of time.
¡°Forge the Tooth of Destruction with the Power of Death!¡±
Dean McKenzie fired a Bone Fang.
But it didn¡¯t hit its mark.
The agile corpse not only dodged effectively but also urately avoided Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang attack.
This was the first time Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang had missed.
The casting timested about a second.
By the time Dean McKenzie finished casting, the agile corpse was mere meters away from him.
This is how agility can suppress magic users in the early game.
Dean McKenzie only had onest chance to attack.
He raised his hand and let out another Bone Fang. This time, he had learned from his previous mistake and adjusted the trajectory of the Bone Fang.
This slight adjustment made an immediate impact.
The first shot missed, but the second hit, although it merely hit the shoulder, causing no harm to it.
The agile corpse rushed in front of Dean McKenzie and then¡ got its head pped off by Doggy Two!
You have sessfully killed the Quick Corpse (Elite) (Level 8), and have obtained 80 Experience Points!
You have sessfully used the Talent Extraction on the Quick Corpse, and obtained 1 Agility point and an Elite Temte Fragment!
While effortlesslypleting the extraction, Dean McKenzie was dissatisfied with his recent performance.
¡°Anthony and the rest said my Bone Fang uracy isn¡¯t bad, that it¡¯s middle to low tier among one-turn mages, but I feel it¡¯s quite ordinary. If I can¡¯t even hit a corpse, that¡¯s not good, I need more practice!¡±
Dean McKenzie said while pulling the stored mana from the magic ring and drinking a potion to replenish mana, while setting his gaze on the iing corpse swarm.
Once the corpse swarm was within his shooting range, Dean McKenzie began his attack.
At a distance of around ten meters, Dean McKenzie fired three Bone Fangs. He hit his targets every time, taking out three ordinary corpses.
Afterwards, there wasn¡¯t much for Dean McKenzie to do as the corpse swarm closed the distance.
¡°Next, it¡¯s Doggy Two¡¯s showtime!¡±
Dean McKenzie said and cast a shield on Doggy Two.
The next second, Doggy Two bolted out, causing mayhem in the midst of the corpse swarm.
The hit made Dean McKenzie recall how Bell Be handled herself in the Skeleton Cave, ramming into the skeleton group. A few corpses were spurred into the air on the spot.
Now, with his strength reaching up to 14.8, Doggy Two¡¯s power was utterly crushing against the corpses.
His every move was brimming with devastating power, leaving the corpses overwhelmed.
Whether it was ordinary corpses or elite corpses, they couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow from Doggy Two.
Dean McKenzie felt extraordinarily satisfied seeing a formidable corpse¡¯s head being twisted by a single p from Doggy Two.
That feeling was akin to an old father watching his foolish son trick another family¡¯s girl intoing home.
It was a triumphant moment of finally seeing his stupid soning to his senses.
¡°Doggy Two has added 15 extra attribute points overall.
Even though it¡¯s an elite temte, the attributes are absolutely of an excellent level.
Especially in terms of strength, I guess he isn¡¯t any less powerful than Boss Hammer, and with my Bone Shield added, maybe there¡¯s hope to challenge Boss Hammer!¡±
Next, Dean McKenzie felt like he was back to the times when he shouted ¡°666¡± in the Skeleton Cave.
Doggy Two, who charged up, instantly drew the hatred of the corpse swarm.
Dozens of remaining corpse swarms surrounded Doggy Two without bothering about Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie stood leisurely at the side, watching Doggy Two¡¯s performance and the desperate struggle of the corpse swarm.
Although Doggy Two didn¡¯t have much room to dodge in the midst of the corpse swarm, he had no intention to dodge at all, allowing the attacks of the corpses tond on himself.
The Bone Shield could absorb the majority of the damage.
Now that Dean McKenzie has improved his spiritual power, the defense of the Bone Shield has also improved.
A defense as high as 46.4, so terrifying it induced despair.
Neither ordinary nor elite corpses could break through this level of defense.
Even if they managed to wear down the defense of the Bone Shield after much effort, Dean McKenzie would cast another Bone Shield, not giving them any chance to break it.
Hence, the corpse swarms surrounded Doggy Two like moths to a me, dying under his fists again and again.
Within two minutes, Dean McKenzie heard the familiar whining again, and the corpse swarm started to retreat once more.
But Dean McKenzie did not give them the chance to retreat at all,manding Doggy Two to chase the retreating swarm all the way to the heart of the swarm, to a huge tomb before, killing all the corpses.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie spotted the corpse that had been whining before and after.
Name: Low-level Corpse Leader (Elite)
Level: Level 9
Attributes:
Strength: 7.9, Agility: 3, Physique: 7.9
Attack: 7.9
Defense: 3.95
Spirit Power: 20
Skill: King of Corpses (Level 1) (Capable of ordering the corpse swarm in conjunction with Throne of Corpses, holding the power of life and death over the swarm!
In the absence of the Throne of Corpses, it can intimidate the target for 1 second!)
Corpse w (Level 1)
Upon seeing this corpse lord, the corpse that lost all its subordinates finally stepped off the throne in rage.
At the same time, a wail sounded as the corpse lord erupted in an invisible force.
That was the activation of the [King of Corpses] skill. Simultaneously, the [Corpse w] skill of the corpse lord exploded, instantly crossing several meters of distance, as the w glowing with a faint green light attacked the Bone Shield on Doggy Two.
Miss!
Then, Doggy Two pped it, and then there was no more.
At the same time as the lord¡¯s head was twisted, the throne where it used to sit cracked open to reveal a ck iron colored treasure chest¡.
Chapter 29 - 29: 029 Black Iron Treasure Chest
Chapter 29: 029 ck Iron Treasure Chest
Trantor: 549690339
The Land of the Wraith, the Great Tomb.
As soon as Doggy Two pped the Corpse Lord¡¯s head, crooking it to one side, system prompts began to refresh.
[You sessfully killed the [Corpse Lord], and gained 150 experience points!]
[Your level increased to Level 8, your spiritual power increased by 0.5, and your mana limit increased to 56!]
Despite there only being a few dozen corpses in this wave, five of them were elite monsters.
With the experience points from these 5 elite monsters, Dean McKenzie reached level 8, while Doggy Two was just a little short, given that he was now an elite type, hence, he required more experience points.
After the prompt indicating McKenzie¡¯s level increase had ended, another alert sounded.
[Congrattions on sessfully annihting the Corpse Swarm of the Wraith Power, your task progression reaches fifty percent!]
Looking at the system prompt, McKenzie¡¯s brows instantly rxed.
¡°Task progression is fifty percent, huh?
Does that mean, the only remaining Wraith Power is the Ghost Group?
If it is resolved, the task of the Wraith Lord can be aplished, right?¡±
All of a sudden, Dean McKenzie seemed to see a chance atpleting the task of the [Wraith Lord],
Better yet, he felt that he wasn¡¯t too far away frompleting the task.
Having dealt with the Corpse Swarm, the Ghost Group wasn¡¯t that far away, right?
Dean McKenzie grinned, and then started to get busy.
He didn¡¯t rush to open the ck Iron Treasure Chest right away, but first used his talent to extract from the corpses lying everywhere.
It was close to 50 corpses in total; to extract them all would cost 1000 mana.
Dean McKenzie still had 6 potions on him, but it was far from enough.
He did not want to use all of his potions here, so, eventually, Dean McKenzie only extracted from the remaining 4 elite monsters.
[You sessfully used extraction on the [Corpse Lord], you have extracted 0.5 points of strength, 0.5 points of physique, and one fragment of the Low-level Lord Temte!]
[You sessfully used extraction on 2 [Strong Corpses], you have extracted 2 strength points, two Elite Temte Fragments!]
[You sessfully used extraction on the[Thick-skinned Corpse], you have extracted 1 physique point, and one Elite Temte Fragment!]
Adding up to the extraction of the initial [Fast Corpse], McKenzie gained 5 attribute points and 4 elite temte fragments in total, along with one fragment of the Low-level Lord Temte.
McKenziebined three of the elite temte fragments into a temte and then opened the attribute section of the Low-level Lord Temte fragment to take a look.
Name: Fragment of the Low-level Lord Temte
Description: Collect three to form a Lord Temte, which can be used to assign it to a target without a Lord Temte, or to enhance a target with a Lord Temte.
After a nce at the attributes, he withdrew his gaze andnded it on the light points he had collected from the ground.
With the existence of five elite monsters, this corpse swarm had contributed 16 light points to him.
After opening them all, McKenzie obtained 33 silver coins, a [Fast Corpse Temte], 4 bottles of mana potion (small), and a piece of equipment, thefDecrepit Greatsword].
Equipment: Decrepit Greatsword
Level: 9
Required: 8 Strength points
Effect: Attack power +8
The effect of this sword was very simple, yet brutal. Doggy Two didn¡¯t have a suitable weapon yet, so it was given to him directly.
Holding this one-and-a-half-meter-long greatsword, Doggy Two, a whole skeleton, looked a bit funny.
However, McKenzie knew that now Doggy Two was really funny, but also really brutal.
With a casual swing of his sword, the damage reached as high as 22.8.
Equipped with a Bone Shield, he effectively turned into a skeletal tank.
Within level 10, they were absolutely invincible entities.
[Your Elite Temte has been sessfully synthesized!]
Almost at the same time as Doggy Two grabbed his heavy sword, Dean McKenzie¡¯s system prompt sounded again. Dean McKenzie sessfully obtained his second Elite Temte.
¡°At my current level, which is 8, after dealing with the Ghost Group, reaching level 10 should be no problem. By then, I will be able to get another Grant Quota. As for this quota, I¡¯ll choose to increase my attributes. I¡¯ll raise my Spiritual Power because at present, my spirit and mana values are barely enough!
If things go smoothly, upgrading the temte to an Elite Temte will increase my Spiritual Power by 15 points, and my maximum mana will exceed 200!¡±
Dean McKenzie, who was deficient in mana since his job change, became quite excited when considering his future, filled with abundant mana.
Of course, Dean McKenzie did not need to hold onto an Elite Temte at this point.
If he can defeat the Ghost Group, he will be able to merge at least one or two more Elite Temtes then.
But now, Dean McKenzie does not have the money to use this temte, as it costs 50 Silver Coins each time.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie has already figured out the strategy for dealing with the Ghost Group, and that tactic does not require the strength of an Elite.
So, Dean McKenzie put away the Elite Temte and turned his gaze to thest ck Iron Treasure Chest.
¡°This chest looks much more advanced than the previous wooden ones, I wonder what it holds!¡±
With high expectations, Dean McKenzie stepped forward and swung open the ck chest.
[You have opened a[ck Iron Treasure Chest], You received 1 Gold Coin and a Skill Stone!]
¡°Holy shit, I got a Gold Coin!¡±
When the ck Iron Treasure Chest was opened and a glint of gold appeared, Dean McKenzie¡¯s excitement was off the charts.
Others could not understand his obsession and longing for gold, given his initial n to save up for a Gold Coin over seven or eight years.
His excitement at this moment was equally hard to fathom.
Holding the Gold Coin, Dean McKenzie looked at it for a while and even bit it. After biting, he immediately wiped off his saliva, checked the coin to make sure it was not damaged by his bite, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then carefully ced the coin against his chest.
He thought for a moment and took the coin out to hold in his hand, ¡°When it¡¯s time to deal with the ghosts, I have to lie on Doggy Two. Holding it against my chest, it might fall out. Holding it in my hand would be safer.¡±
Doggy Two was quietly observing all of Dean McKenzie¡¯s actions.
Doggy Two¡¯s Pupil Fire flickered as he was lost in thought, watching Dean McKenzie¡¯s reactions.
It took quite a while for Dean McKenzie¡¯s excitement to subside. He then turned his attention to the Skill Stone.
Name: Skill Stone ¨C Charge
Description: Contains the Warrior Skill [Charge], Using it has a chance to learn the skill.
Usage Conditions: Warriors, Strength, Agility, Physique over 2
Dean McKenzie looked at the Skill Stone and immediately used it on Doggy Two.
[Your Wraith Servant[Doggy Two]sessfully used the Skill Stone and learned the skill[Charge]!]
Skill: Charge
Level: Level 1
Cost: 2 Spirit Points
Application: Burst forward with triple speed for 5 meters, and enhance the first attack by fifty percent within a second of ending the charge
¡°Not bad, not bad!¡±
Looking at Doggy Two¡¯s skill, Dean McKenzie nodded in satisfaction.
However, at this moment, a new system prompt appeared.
[Please note, your Wraith Servant¡¯s [Bone Throne] is about to be absorbed. Once the [Bone Throne]is absorbed, your Wraith Servant will lose its [Wraith Lord] Temte!]
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Before Dean McKenzie could react, Doggy Two raised his head to look ahead. Following Doggy Two¡¯s gaze, Dean McKenzie saw hundreds of small ghosts outside the big graveyard, carrying the Bone Throne and a ck throne, swaying as they flew towards them. The ck throne and the Bone Throne seemed to be stacking together¡.
Chapter 30 - 30: 030 Clearance Instance
Chapter 30: 030 Clearance Instance
Trantor: 549690339
Land of the Wraith, The Great Tomb!
Dean McKenzie watched the iing horde of small ghosts, his expression shifting from stunned surprise to calm eptance.
¡°I was just about to go looking for them, and here they are, delivering themselves on a silver tter. Not a bad thing, Doggy Two!¡±
Dean said, immediately mounting Doggy Two, and swinging his Skeleton
Wand.
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Two instantly elerated, carrying Dean straight towards the oing ghost group.
Unleashing his full speed, Dean felt a rush of excitement that can only be described as a mix of speed and passion.
The galloping wind fought against Dean¡¯s hair.
But Dean¡¯s gaze was exceptionally clear, his magic chant flowing smoothly, his wand charged and ready.
The moment Doggy Two was about 14 meters from the ghost group ¨C which also coincided with Bone Fang¡¯s maximum range of level 3 ¨C Dean made his move,unching a Bone Fang.
[You have sessfully killed a Small Ghost (level 9), earning you 3 Experience Points!]
One-shot kill!
Despite this, Dean furrowed his brows.
Because he didn¡¯t kill the target he was aiming for.
It was an unintended sess, and Dean understood why that happened.
Mainly because it was his first time casting a spell on Doggy Two. He wasn¡¯t quite adjusted yet and couldn¡¯t quite control the trajectory, leading to a miss.
However, he wasn¡¯t satisfied with the oue.
Patting Doggy Two carrying him, he said, ¡°Keep our distance from the ghost group!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Two altered course and began maintaining a safe distance from the ghost group.
The agility of the small ghosts was only at 1, far inferior to Doggy Two¡¯s.
So, maintaining a distance was not hard for Doggy Two.
While Doggy Two kept their distance, Dean recited the Bone Fang again, targeting the ghost group.
Besides having a Talent for Extraction, Dean himself had another Talent recognized by Ennis Hawkins and his team ¨C mastery and control over magic.
Dean was supremely talented in this respect.
For a regr mage, performing the Bone Fang spell consistently while riding at breakneck speed on Doggy Two was not a simple task.
Yet Dean nailed it right off the bat.
After that, Dean¡¯s Talent and speed shone as his control over the Bone Fang improved.
The second shot hit its target while at top speed, though it didn¡¯t strike a vital spot.
By the fourth shot, he was hitting vital spots.
From then on, while he didn¡¯t have a perfect hit rate, he was at least hitting the target seventy to eighty percent of the time.
And so, Dean began his Kiting strategy against the ghost group
Amid the wind and speed, Dean simultaneously consumed his mana potions while reciting the Bone Fang spell on Doggy Two¡¯s back.
Every few to ten seconds or so, Dean urately shot out a Bone Fang.
Nearly every time, he could take down a small ghost.
Under Dean¡¯s Kiting strategy, the number of small ghosts started to fall rapidly.
Within just ten minutes, Dean had in dozens of small ghosts, reducing the ghost group by a fifth.
The death of so many small ghosts upset the one sitting on the dark throne, a ghost that was clearly a bit special.
He abandoned the Bone Throne.
He began tomand the ghost group to besiege Dean.
But it was basically pointless.
The Lord-level BOSS does have some intelligence, but not enough to form much of a strategy.
All he could do was to order the ghosts to attack Dean.
But as for strategies such as surrounding or annihting the enemy, he simply didn¡¯t understand.
While the small ghost lord¡¯s spirit was definitely above 10, who said that a high spirit equates to high intelligence?
What it could do was essentially useless to Dean.
Dean didn¡¯t confront the ghost group head-on. Instead, he kept his distance and drained their strength from afar.
The ghost group had some ability tounch long-range attacks, but Dean, on the other hand, had a Bone Shield.
In other words, Dean had perfectly countered this ghost group.
¡°Taking on monsters with low intelligence is simply too easy. Once you find the right strategy, they¡¯re as good as dead!¡±
Although Dean said this, he maintained extreme vignce.
He kept consuming potions, never letting his mana reserves drop below 30.
Under these circumstances, the ghost group had hardly any chances to resist. As the number of small ghosts continued to drop, their threat to Dean also decreased continually.
The advantage was snowballing.
Dean was well-aware of this fact, but the ghost group didn¡¯tprehend. Therefore, the annihtion of this ghost group was just a matter of time. Nevertheless, in spite of this, it would still take Dean some time to wipe out the ghost group.
It took more than half an hour for Dean to eliminate just two-thirds of the ghost group.
In the process, Dean and Doggy Two had leveled up to level 9 and level 10, respectively.
Subsequently, Dean exploited his momentum and almost wiped out the remaining third within just ten minutes.
[You have sessfully killed a Small Ghost (level 9), earning you 3 Experience Points!]
[You have sessfully killed an Elite Small Ghost(Level io), earning you loo Experience Points¡¯]
[You have sessfully killed a Furious Small Ghost (Level 10), earning 100 Experience Points¡¯.]
Dean intentionally saved the elite small ghosts forst.
When he was taking out thest third of the ghosts, his Experience Points surged dramatically.
Within minutes, the Experience Points had reached the edge of level 10. And there was only one small ghost left on the ghost side, sitting on the throne.
Name: Low-Level Ghost Lord (Elite)
Level: Level 10
Attributes: Agility 2, Physique: 2, Spirit 10
Mana: 140
Skills Mastered: King of Ghosts (Level 1) (Same as Bone King)
Hand of Ghost (level 1) (Consumes 10 mana points, summons a Hand of Ghost for attack and defense.
Power equals 1.3 times the spiritual power, and distance equals half the spiritual power (in meters))
Undoubtedly, this Ghost Lord was the most formidable existence among the three undead races.
It had both attacking and defensive abilities. Quite powerful! Dean¡¯s highly effective Bone Fang became useless against it.
Once itsst follower was killed and it marched out of the throne, its aura was intimidating.
However, after a brief dash from Doggy Two and a sh, it too, fell. [You have sessfully killed a Low-Level Ghost Lord, earning you 200 Experience Points!]
[Your Experience Points are full, and your level has been raised to level 10, unlocking new skills!]
[Your Level has increased, you have received a Grant Quota!] [Congrattions on sessfully annihting the Small Ghost Group of the
Wraith Power, your task progress has reached 100%, The task: ¡°The Wraith Lord¡± is nowplete!]
[Youpleted the task: ¡°The Wraith Lord¡±, The Secret Realm of the Land of Wraith has been cleared, would you like tomence the clearance settlement?]
Chapter 31 - 31: 031 Dean McKenzie Template Upgrade
Chapter 31: 031 Dean McKenzie Temte Upgrade
Trantor: 549690339
Land of the Wraith.
As Doggy Two casually killed the Low-Level Phantom Lord, system notifications began to update frically.
Simultaneously, the ck throne of the Low-Level Phantom Lord shattered, revealing a ck treasure chest.
However, at this moment, neither the treasure chest nor the system notifications were Dean McKenzie¡¯s primary focus.
His first and foremost concern was the Grant Quota he received when he reached level 10.
His Talent was generally great, but Grant Quotas were quite scarce.
He only received an additional one at level 5.
With great anticipation, Dean McKenzie had finally received this Grant Quota, and without a second thought, he opened his Attribute Panel and assigned this quota to the ¡°Spirit¡± attribute.
As for why he didn¡¯t explore other options and flirt around with them.
There was truly no need to do so.
After all, this Grant Quota was an irreversible decision made.
So, he simply had to choose a path and tread on it blindly!
[You have activated the[Spiritual Attribute Allocation], and you can start enhancing your Spirit Attribute! ]
The system notification was updated, and Dean immediately sprung into action.
He first picked up all the radiating points on the ground.
At this moment, Dean was looking for Mana Potions among the radiant points.
During the recent battle, he had used up most of his mana and needed Mana Potions to replenish it.
Luckily, small phantoms have a high probability of dropping Mana Potions.
Dean McKenzie collected all the radiant points, receiving 55 silver coins, 15 Mana Potions, one Micro Mana Potion Form, and two pieces of equipment.
Dean didn¡¯t have time to examine the properties of these two pieces of equipment, but he hastily guzzled the Mana Potions.
It was a painful process for Dean to drink them, as he had just consumed 10 potions, and his stomach was already full of liquid.
Thankfully, the recovery power in Mana Potions was easily absorbed and quickly excreted, freeing up space for more to be consumed.
Otherwise, Dean would indeed be incapable of drinking any more at this point.
Even so, Dean could only manage to consume three more potions before bing unable to drink anymore.
But those three bottles provided 300 mana, enough to use Extraction fifteen times.
[You have sessfully used your Talent on the[Elite Small Phantom], gaining 1 Spirit point and one fragment of an Elite Temte!]
[You have sessfully used your Talent on the[Low-Level Small Phantom Lord], gaining 1 Spirit point and one Low-Level Lord Fragment!]
[You have sessfully used your Talent on the[Small Phantom], gaining 0.3 Spirit points!]
Dean used his power on the Elite Monsters in the Ghost Group first, and then he used the remaining energy on the normal monsters.
In total, he gained 9.1 Spirit Points, one Low-Level Lord Fragment, and six Elite Temtes.
Dean then turned round and used this power on himself.
[You consumed 5 silver coins to enhance your Spirit attribute, increasing your Spirit by 5 points and raising your Mana limit to 111!]
[Your Spirit has reached the enhancement limit¡]
[You used the[Elite Temte]on your[Spirit Attribute], upgrading your Temte to an Elite Temte!]
[Consuming 8 bronze coins and 200 copper coins, enhancing your Spirit Attribute by 4.1, and increasing your Mana limit to 152!]
After a series of operations, Dean¡¯s Spiritual Power had risen to 15.2. Although it hadn¡¯t reached the peak yet, it was an impressive level already.
At this point, his Bone Fang attack could deal 18.24 damage and using the Bone Shield could provide a formidable defense of 78.8.
Suffice it to say, Dean¡¯s power had undergone an epic level increase.
What surprised Dean even more was that while he was still grinning at his impressive 15.2 attribute points, another system prompt updated.
[As your temte has been upgraded to[Elite Quality], your Grant Quota has increased by 1!]
Upon seeing this golden finger-like notice, Dean was stunned for a moment before a smile involuntarily spread across his face.
¡°It¡¯s unexpected, but also makes sense.¡±
As it stands, Dean, after experiencing three rounds of attribute enhancements, has personally understood the power of his Talent.
Simultaneously, he also clearly knew what this additional Grant Quota represented.
¡°This means, I can increase one of my attributes by 15 points or develop an incredible Skill!¡±
The thought alone was enough to excite Dean.
However, excitement aside, Dean didn¡¯t rush to make use of this Grant Quota.
Firstly, both his Mana and Extraction attributes were presently depleted.
Secondly, now wasn¡¯t the time.
He still had many system notifications and gains to process.
Dean¡¯s gaze firstnded on the two pieces of equipment he had neglected earlier.
Name: Rotten Poison Arrow Bag
Level: Level 10
Usage Requirements: Archer
Effect 1: Can poison the arrows in the bag, adding 6 poison damage to each arrow (each use of poison requires 5 Spirit Points, up to 10 arrows can be poisoned at once)
Effect 2: Adds 5 meters to shooting range
Not a bad piece of equipment, the problem is that Dean can¡¯t use it right now.
He currently doesn¡¯t have a Skeleton Archer, nor an Archer Temte.
¡°I¡¯ll sell it when I get back!¡±
Saying so, Dean turned his attention to the next item.
Name: Small Fireball Staff
Level: Level 10
Usage Requirements: Mage
Effect 1: Skill[Small Fireball]Level +1 (maximum Level 3)
Effect 2: Skill[Small Fireball]Damage +2
Seeing the stats of this piece of equipment, Dean couldn¡¯t helpmenting, ¡°Am I supposed to consider today¡¯s luck as good or bad?¡±
It¡¯s a great piece of equipment, but unfortunately, he can¡¯t use it.
Dean could only ce his hopes on the ck Iron Treasure Chest, hoping that it would surprise him with gold coins like the previous one.
[You¡¯ve opened a ck Iron Treasure Chest, obtaining a[Random Promoting Quest Book](Task type)!]
Name: Random Promotion Quest Book (Task type)
Description: Once used, it will activate a Deputy Promotion Quest. Afterpleting the quest, you will gain the corresponding deputy profession.
¡°Great!¡±
Even though Dean didn¡¯t know what made this object special yet, he knew very well that it was definitely a good item.
¡°Alright, the items were revealed, now it¡¯s time for the tasks!¡±
Saying this, Dean focused on the system notifications.
His eyes firstnded on thepletion notification for the [Lord of the WraithJ quest.
His gaze stayed on it, and the new system prompt was refreshed.
[Do you want to im the quest reward?]
¡°Yes!¡±
Dean nodded, and the next moment, the shattered Throne of Corpses and Phantom Throne became beams of light, rising into the air and merging into Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne.
With the merging of these two thrones, the Bone Throne emitted a pale light.
Then, to Dean¡¯s utter astonishment, a transformation took ce.
He clearly saw that as the pale light emanated from the Bone Throne, the entire Land of the Wraith underwent dramatic changes.
An endless sea of bones began to emerge in the pale light.
System notifications started to be updated once again.,.
Chapter 32 - 32: 032 Clearance Reward
Chapter 32: 032 Clearance Reward
Trantor: 549690339
South Hill Base.
Almost at the same time as Dean McKenzie cleared the instance, the mysterious figure from before suddenly looked up.
¡°Cleared¡he cleared it?¡±
As a person who has witnessed countless waves, the mysterious figure also stood still for a long while before reacting.
A look of disbelief still on his face.
¡°No way, did that kid really clear that instance?
Good, good kid. Although I don¡¯t know how you managed to clear it, since you¡¯ve given me this surprise, I will definitely return the favor with an even bigger surprise.¡±
While talking, a scroll appeared in the mysterious figure¡¯s hand.
With a squeeze of his hand, the scroll turned into ashes the next second.
At the same Mome in the Wraith Land Secret Realm.
The system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie.
[You havepleted the quest [Lord of the Wraith], you will receive the following rewards:
1. The Land of the Wraith will permanently be the Land of Bone!2. You will gain control of the Land of Bone! ]
[You obtained the control rights of the Secret Realm [Land of Bone], and the page of Land of Bone Secret Realm territory is unlocked!]
Territory page: Land of Bone
Area: 50 square kilometers
Territory creatures: Pale Skeletons
Description: Every day, skeletons naturally appear in this territory. The probability of giving birth to Pale Skeletons is 98%, with a 2% chance of spawning Weak Skeleton Warriors, Weak Skeleton Archers, and Weak Skeleton Mages.
ps:All skeletons that are born in this territory will naturally be controlled by your wraith servant, Doggy Two. You have the power of life and death over them.
Your control authority: Gate of Bone (you can open a Gate of Bone that leads to the Bone Territory, and the size can be controlled by you. You can freely enter and exit this secret realm!)
¡°Holy crap! Doesn¡¯t that mean I have a private secret realm now?¡±
Dean Mckenzie was truly surprised.
He didn¡¯t expect the end result of this task to be this rewarding.
¡°Isn¡¯t this reward a little too big?¡±
Despite having system prompts right in front of him, Dean Mckenzie still found it a little hard to believe.
The main thing is,pared to this reward, it may be too easy a task to be the Lord of the Wraith?
Simply wiping out three, low-level 10, wraith powers, could such a level of difficulty reward you this much?
¡°I get a feeling of pies falling from the sky!¡±
Of course, Dean Mckenzie would dly wee pies falling from the sky, as long as it wasn¡¯t a Ninth-turn pig¡¯s intestine pie.
Before Dean Mckenzie could snap out of his shock from the reward, another system prompt was refreshed.
[You havepleted the special mission [ Lord of the Wraith], and you have collected your rewards. Start calcting the Land of the Wraith clearance rewards!]
¡°What the hell? The reward settlement has already begun?
What about the hidden [Power of the Wraith] mission I haven¡¯t finished? ¡±
Dean Mckenzie had intended to strike while the iron was hot and give his all in that hidden task.
As a result, before he could gear up, the clearance reward has already begun counting.
[You sessfully cleared the instance [Land of the Wraith], you have received a D-level base grade!]
[You sessfully annihted the [Skeleton][Zombie][Small wraith] three wraith powers, your evaluation has risen to A level!]
[You have finally received an A-level evaluation. You will receive the following rewards: 1. Your temte will be elevated (maximum elite)2. You will receive a piece of ck Iron professional equipment.3. You will receive a mysterious item! ]
In the system prompt, the reward was delivered immediately.
A glow shone on Dean McKenzie, apparently ready to upgrade his temte.
Then the system prompt refreshed again.
[Your temte has already been detected as an Elite level, the reward is exchanged ¨C you will receive 5 free attribute points!]
Thereafter, 5 free attribute points appear on Dean McKenzie¡¯s attribute te.
Simultaneously, a ck robe and a ck box appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze was first drawn to the ck robe.
The robe is ck all over, with mysterious and eerie patterns all over.
More importantly, its attributes.
Name: Necromancer Apprentice Robe
Quality: ck Iron
Level: 10
Effect:
1: With 2 levels of [Necromancy Absorption] (after killing an enemy, there is a 10% chance to absorb their soul and convert it into Mana (conversion rate is equal to the sum of all the enemy¡¯s attributes divided by 2))
2: [Necromancy Strengthening]level 1, (all Necromancer attack power is increased by +10)
3: With 2 levels of [Mana Storage] (storage limit is 300)
Dean McKenzie immediately fell in love with this robe, each of its attributes seemed perfectly tailored to him.
Dean put on the robe right on the spot.
Feeling the power of the [Necromancer Apprentice Robe] flowing inside his body, after putting on this robe, his actual Mana limit reached 572.
Dean couldn¡¯t helpughing uncontrobly.
He¡¯d never felt so much Mana before!
But when he turned his gaze to thest ck box, Dean froze in surprise.
Name: Mysterious Item
Quality: ???
Level: ???
Description: Open it and you will get a chance to further upgrade the temte andplete the inheritance!
These are the attributes of that ck box.
This attribute could be very tempting for a normal temte that is only of Elite Quality, and the professional inheritance is broken.
Compared to this attribute, the mysterious aura of the box itself is even more irresistible.
Dean even lost his ability to think for a moment, as he reached forward to open the box.
Fortunately, the box indicated that there were insufficient conditions to open it. Dean then snapped out of it.
Emerging from that state, Dean broke out in a cold sweat.
Subsequently, afterpleting the reward settlement, Dean was sent back to the Skeleton Cave.
Three dayster, Dean returned to this ce, feeling as if he was in apletely different world.
Upon returning to the Skeleton Cave, Dean immediately observed his surroundings cautiously. After confirming that no one was around, he quickly stored his items, opened a small Gate of Bone and put everything in the Secret Realm.
Then, Dean snuck out of the Skeleton Cave.
What Dean didn¡¯t know was that his cautious actions were all observed by someone.
At this moment, a mysterious man with a pale face was holding a Crystal Ball, watching Dean slip away.
At this moment, his face was filled with anticipation.
¡°Boy, I¡¯ve prepared a big gift for you. I¡¯m looking forward to your growth.
I¡¯m expecting you to surprise me again.¡±
As he spoke, a wave of power emerged from the Skeleton Cave, a power that leaked when he prepared a replica was cleared.
This power will undoubtedly expose this location.
But the mysterious man didn¡¯t care at all.
Anyway, the replica has been cleared. His goal has been achieved.
The people from the Professional Alliance couldn¡¯t find out anything unless Dean snitched.
But would Dean?
The mysterious man is very confident.
¡°For him, this could be the second chance in his life to change his fate, besides job changing.
He will definitely keep today¡¯s events a secret.
Absolutely!¡±
This point can be confirmed from Dean¡¯s behavior aftering out of the replica.
What the mysterious man didn¡¯t know was that as soon as Dean left the Skeleton Cave and returned to the South Hill Base, he contacted Ennis Hawkins as soon as he got back to his dorm room.
The first thing he said was: ¡°Anthony, I¡¯ve made a huge contribution!¡±
Even before Anthony could react, Dean had already shared his experiences and gains from the past three days and the replica!
Everything other than his Talent, in its entirety, he confessed to Anthony¡
Let me rmend a book to my friends,
¡°My Temple is Extraordinarily Effective¡±
Brief Description: After seven years, Jason White returns to his hometown, Evergreen Vige. The vigers ask him what he¡¯s been studying for seven years, and if he could get a good job?
The answer, ¡°Four years studying Buddhism, three years studying Taoism, I almost died overseas¡So I came back to start a sect and do construction there!¡±
Enough said, I need to hurry, I¡¯m off to catch a God!

Chapter 33 - 33: 033 Eliminate hidden dangers
Chapter 33: 033 Eliminate hidden dangers
Trantor: 549690339
Professional Alliance Center.
In the office of the leader of Operation Team Nine.
Ennis Hawkins held hismunication tool, listening to Dean McKenzie¡¯s words.
He was stunned at that moment!
He did throw Dean into South Hill Base, but it was just to ce him somewhere safe. He had no intention of getting Dean involved in any missions.
In his view, Dean was merely an outsider identally pulled into the situation. If Dean was deeply entangled and couldn¡¯t get out, he would understand.
But Dean was just an Ordinary Temte, basically worthless to that gang. He had no reason, nor could he involve Dean in such dangerous affairs.
Even if giving up Dean as a clue made his task extremely challenging, he would not involve Dean.
That was his principle.
Unexpectedly, even though he didn¡¯t get Dean involved, Dean stumbled into it on his own.
He was so taken aback by what Dean said that it stunned him for a while.
It took him a while to get back to his senses, after Dean called out several times, ¡°Anthony, are you listening, Anthony?¡±
I¡¯m listening, go on!¡±
¡®T¡¯ve finished speaking!
When will youe? I¡¯ll hand over the stuff to you!¡±
Listening to Dean¡¯s slightly anxious urging, Anthony¡¯s expression wasplex.
¡°Are you sure you want to hand over everything you gained from that Secret Realm? That¡¯s quite a shocking ie, including a private realm, and an unknown treasure¡¡±
I¡¯m not stupid. No matter how good the stuff is, you need to be alive to use it, right?
At South Hill Base, Dean smirked.
By now, he had verified his immense Talent.
Quite confident with his Talent, he believed he would have a promising future. The more so, the more careful he had to be.
But his words changed as he spoke: ¡°Captain, as a member of the Spring City Professional Alliance and a soldier under you, I must prioritize defense.
As your soldier, I must safeguard the security of Spring City.
I have to report this problematic game level for your safety and the residents of Spring City.
I won¡¯t keep anything that threatens the safety of Spring City citizens!¡±
Dean spoke with a righteous and dedicated demeanor.
But Ennis was unimpressed: ¡°I was wondering why you, a sly kid, were behaving so docilely. So, this is your n.
Got it. After the inspection, if there¡¯s no problem, we won¡¯t touch your stuff!¡± Dean puckered his lips, clearly displeased: ¡°Anthony, how could you think of me like this? I truly am acting out of public interest, with no ulterior motives!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! If the verification proves connection to that group, your deserved reward won¡¯t be lessened!
You wait, I¡¯ll be right there!¡±
Then, Ennis hung up the phone.
On Dean¡¯s side, he scratched his head while listening to the hang-up tone from Ennis.
¡°My little trick couldn¡¯t fool Anthony at all!¡±
While sighing, Dean¡¯s respect for Anthony deepened.
The more he interacted with Ennis, the clearer Dean understood what kind of person he was.
He was the kind who could see the nature of the world and human nature, yet still loved the world and treated others kindly.
Ennis saw through all of Dean¡¯s tricks from the beginning.
He merely couldn¡¯t bear to stop him!
Ennis arrived quite fast.
Less than half an hour after Dean hung up, Ennis secretly came to South Hill Base.
The first thing he did upon arriving at South Hill Base was pull out a mirror. ¡°Look into it!¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
Dean obediently looked into the mirror, and the next second, an identical person separated from the mirror.
Looking at the man who was identical to him, Dean was dumbfounded. Ennis exined, ¡°It will exist for one day, rece you at work. You need toe with me somewhere!¡±
Then, Dean was taken away by Ennis.
As for exactly where, Dean didn¡¯t know because they didn¡¯t walk there. Ennis tore a Scroll and they arrived in a pure whiteboratory.
There were already people there, and they were waiting in readiness. Subsequently, Dean McKenzie spent half a day in thisboratory.
During this half-day, Dean cooperated with theboratory staff to inspect each item he had brought back from the ¡°Land of the Wraith¡± instance.
The inspection was so thorough that even the ¡°Land of the Wraith¡± turned out to be the Land of Bone now, with Dean even allowing ess for checks.
Throughout the process, Ennis Hawkins was by his side, giving Dean a strong sense of security.
Half a dayter, the inspection was over.
The person in charge of theb reported to Ennis Hawkins, ¡°After inspecting the secret realm of the Land of Bone, we didn¡¯t find any immediate issues.
The only problematic item was the ¡°Demon Box¡±, which by its nature is an evil item capable of leading people down a path of corruption to be Fallen Professionals.
But that¡¯s not the biggest problem; the most significant issue is what is contained inside this box.
The items stored in the ¡°Demon Box¡± are extraordinary.
As for what exactly they are, further investigation and research is needed.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s leave this item here and return the others to this young man!¡± ¡°What about the Secret Realm of the Land of Bone? Although we didn¡¯t find any problems during the inspection, we still can¡¯t rule out threats entirely!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this realm bound to him personally? Are you confident you can separate it?¡±
¡°We need some time for that.¡±
¡°How long?¡±
¡°About one year. No, make that eight months!¡±
¡°One day isn¡¯t going to cut it. Since we didn¡¯t find any problems, let¡¯s return it to them first.¡±
With Ennis Hawkins¡¯ involvement, Dean spent most of the day in theb, eventually handing over the ck box but retaining all other gains.
For Dean, the most crucial oue wasn¡¯t that these gains were retained, but that all these gains were legitimized.
The reason for his temte enhancement was also legitimized.
Concurrently, the potential danger of that instance was minimized.
Should there be any issues in the future, he could ry them to the organization at any time.
At this moment, Dean fully experienced the benefits of having an organization, having backing.
Unlike Dean, who was cheerfully grinning like an idiot, Ennis Hawkins on the side appeared rather troubled.
Seeing Dean¡¯s joy-filled grin, Ennis Hawkins was even more annoyed, raising his hand to whack the back of Dean¡¯s head.
¡°Ah, Anthony, why did you hit me?¡±
Dean stared wide-eyed at him.
¡°You¡¯re standing there grinning like an idiot, do you know what it means if that thing is faulty?¡±
¡°What does it mean?¡±
Ennis Hawkins didn¡¯t reply, only looked at Dean and sighed softly.
His sigh startled Dean.
¡°Uncle Ennis, please don¡¯t scare me!¡±
Looking at the panicked Dean in front of him, Ennis slowly spoke, ¡°While we were in theb, news came from the Skeleton Cave.
A unique energy had emerged.
Colleagues have investigated it, andbining it with the information you provided, it¡¯s almost certain that the instance you¡¯ve experienced was indeed set up by someone!
That means you¡¯re now a marked man!¡±
Ennis Hawkins finished speaking with a heavy heart. However, to his surprise, after hearing his words, Dean, who had previously appeared anxious, rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Come on, Anthony, why are you scaring me for nothing? Isn¡¯t this good news?¡±
Ennis Hawkins was momentarily stunned: ¡°Good news?¡±
Dean took it for granted: ¡°Wasn¡¯t your original task for me this? I was worried about how to find people, but now that they are watching me, won¡¯t theye knocking at my door?
Doesn¡¯t this mean there¡¯s hope for me toplete this task?¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t understand, the danger in this¡¡±
¡°The question is, can I opt out of this task you¡¯ve given me, Anthony?¡±
¡°You could have initially, but now I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not possible!¡±
¡°Well, that settles it, since I can¡¯t fight back, then I can only embrace it!
As for the danger!¡±
Dean paused for a moment, looking directly into Ennis Hawkins¡¯ eyes: ¡°Anthony, to be honest, I am still terrified. Can you protect me?¡±
As Dean spoke these words, Ennis froze on the spot.
In his daze, the figure of Dean in front of him ovepped with the image of someone else sealed in his memory, causing Ennis to subconsciously clench his fists and heavily nod his head.
Chapter 34 - 34: 034 Random Deputy Promotion Book
Chapter 34: 034 Random Deputy Promotion Book
Trantor: 549690339 I
South Hill Base, Dean McKenzie¡¯s dorm.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure emerged from thin air, being sent back from theb by
Ennis Hawkins.
As soon as he arrived home, the rxed smile on Dean¡¯s facepletely disappeared.
¡°Damn it, damn it, damn it, I¡¯m going to die, I feel like I am genuinely embroiled in some serious trouble.¡±
Obviously, Dean¡¯s mindset was not as easy as he presented to Ennis.
In fact, he was still quite scared and frantic!
But the problem was that Dean knew well that it was pointless to be afraid.
He had already be involved, the likelihood of extricating himself was practically non-existent.
All that could be done was to grit one¡¯s teeth and bear it.
Fortunately, he was not alone.
Behind him, there was Anthony, and the Professional Alliance.
He was unsure of the support the Professional Alliance could provide, but
Anthony was certainly able to give one a sense of security.
However, the problem was that Dean¡¯s sense of security was a bit lower than the average person.
¡°Although Anthony said he would spare my life, I still feel nervous!¡± The sense of tension and oppression suddenly ramped up, prompting Dean to involuntarily open his attribute panel.
Name: Dean McKenzie
Job: Necromancer Apprentice
Talent: Extraction (55.7/1000)
Level: 10
Attributes:
Strength: 0.7, Agility: 0.8, Physique: 0.8, Spirit: 15-2 (2)
Mana: 152 (420)
Skills: Bone Fang (Level 2) +1 (195/200)
Summon Skeleton (Level 1) +1 (98/100)
Appraisal Skill Level 1 (87/100)
Meditation (Level 1) (122/300)
Bone Shield*Enhance (Level 1) (27/100)
Slow Curse (Level 1) (0/100)
Free Attribute Points: 5 points
Equipment:
Skeleton Wand, Bone Ne, crudely-made Maggie Ring
Necromancer Apprentice Robe (ck Iron)
This was Dean¡¯s current attributes.
With his equipment, his Spirit rose to a whopping 17.2, and he had 572 Mana
Points.
These attributes were quite a stand-out at level 10.
But Dean didn¡¯t get ahead of himself. He felt no sense of security in seeing this attribute.
After all, he was only a rookie who had just been promoted.
Moreover, his attributes may be impressive for level 10, but they were definitely not top-notch.
Just one piece of ck Iron Equipment had provided him with such a considerable increment in attributes, now thinking back about Boss Hammer in Skeleton Cave, Dean estimated she had a minimum of two to three ck Iron Equipment.
Plus, the Excellent Temte.
Dean couldn¡¯t even dare to imagine her attributes.
If Boss Hammer at level 5 was like this, not to mention the so-called Fallen Professionals who Ennis was even wary of.
¡°Fortunately, I should still have time to grow.
ording to Anthony, that Demon Box needs to reach at least level 20 andplete the promotion before it can be opened.
So, if nothing unexpected happens, I should currently be just a small fish. Until
I get fat, until my level reaches 20, and until Iplete my promotion, they probably won¡¯te looking for me.
This period of time is my growth window.¡±
¡°I¡¯m currently just an Elite Temte Necromancer Apprentice. Even if I grow to level 20 andplete my promotion, my power should still be limited.
But no one knows I have the Extraction Talent.
If they let me grow freely then by the time I reach Level 20 and havepleted the first turn, my power will surely far exceed everyone¡¯s expectation.
This is my hidden card, a card I¡¯ve yet to reveal even to Anthony.¡±
It might just save my life in a critical moment.
So, what I need to do next is as much as possible without drawing attention.
Quietly develop myself!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s set a small goal, elevate my [Talent] to level 2 and the Bone Shield skill as quickly as possible to level 3!
Start the second enhancement.
Also, I need to improve my temte as much as possible before one-turn transition!
However!¡±
Speaking of improving the quality of his temte, Dean McKenzie¡¯s brow suddenly furrowed.
It¡¯s not that he¡¯s bothered about enhancing the quality of his temte.
But he suddenly thought of an issue.
If he abruptly elevated the quality of his temte, he might expose the existence of his own talents.
That would be quite troublesome.
This time he happened to encounter this situation, giving a reasonable exnation for the temte upgrade.
Next time, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t guarantee it.
Dean McKenzie was even less assured, what would happen if his talent was exposed?
¡°Perhaps, I shouldn¡¯t be too concerned. The consequences of exposing my talent might not be as terrible as I imagine. It could even be a good thing. Maybe the Professional Alliance will cultivate me once they find out about my talent!¡±
Of course, that being said, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t intend to expose himself.
After all, this is only an assumption.
¡®¡öThis is a future problem. Let¡¯s first enhance what needs enhancement. We can¡¯t let the living be choked to death.
If it really doesn¡¯t work, let¡¯s see if there¡¯s a way to hide the temte.
Now, let¡¯s advance towards our small goals.
As he spoke, Dean McKenzieid out all the items he had collected from the instance in front of him.
He prepared to tally up his current assets, keeping what he could use and selling all the unusable items for money.
After all, his talent required a lot of money.
After a short while, Dean McKenzie had almost finished setting his things in order.
Discarding the equipment already on his body.
There were still 1 gold coin, 75 silver coins, and 800 copper coins left. 10 bottles of[Mana PotionKtiny), 2 bottles of Life Potion, and a[Mana PotionKtiny) recipe.
There was a[Random Deputy Profession Promotion Book](task-based).
In addition, there were afRotten Poison Arrow Bag]and a[Small Fireball Staff], two things that Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t use.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze first settled on the [Random Deputy Profession Promotion Book].
¡ö¡öI¡¯ve asked Anthony about the [Random Deputy Profession Promotion Book], it¡¯s something that heavily relies on luck. Currently, there are hundreds of known deputy professions.
Among them are many high-quality ones like the [Pharmacist], [Rune
Master], [Array Master], [Architect Master], and so on. But there are also mundane ones, such as the[Farmer], [Miner], [Lumberjack], and even [Merchant], [Scam Artist], and simr professions.
Your luck determines what profession you will randomly get. What the task turns out to be also heavily depends on your luck. Some tasks are extremely easy, while others are incredibly difficult.¡± Anthony¡¯s advice to Dean McKenzie was to either use it or, if you don¡¯t want to gamble on your luck, to sell it.
¡°Should I sell it?
This thing should sell for a few gold coins, right?
The money from the sale can be used to enhance myself, to improve my capabilities.¡±
No sooner had he said it than Dean McKenzie shook his head, ¡°Never mind, the money I have on hand should be enough for the current enhancements.
Moreover, the[Rotten Poison Arrow Bag]and a few other things can be sold for a considerable amount of money. A little more wouldn¡¯t allow me to skyrocket in power, but if I randomly get a money-making deputy profession, that would be a different story.
In the future, I might never have to worry about money for enhancements again!
Let¡¯s gamble!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie immediately got to work.
[Ding, You have used the[Random Instance Profession Promotion Book]¡¯(task-based), you have activated the mission, The Development of Talent!]
[Mission: The Development of Talent
Mission Instruction: For the next 30 days, try your best to develop your talent. At the end of the 30 day period, you will be assigned the most suitable deputy profession for you.]
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up instantly: ¡°Hey, my luck seems quite good. In this case, won¡¯t I be able to cultivate the talent I desire?¡±
Thankyou to [¡±Patroller of the God¡¯s Scythe Region¡±][¡°Human from Crowd, High Damage Values¡±] for your generous rewards!
Chapter 35 - 35: Stall 035
Chapter 35: Stall 035
Trantor: 549690339
Setting off on the ¡°Talent Development¡± task, Dean McKenzie was especially thrilled, feeling that he was rather lucky.
Next, he could start researching to see which deputy jobs can make money quickly and start preparing for a career change.
However, things quickly soured for McKenzie.
[You cooked a dish and developed some [Chef] talent!]
[You boldly approached a stranger and developed a [Socialite] talent!]
[You stepped on a small nt and developed a [Weed Control Worker] talent!]
[You set up a stand and developed a [Merchant] talent!]
[You sweet-talked people, and developed a [Cunning Trader] talent!]
McKenzie realized that every time he performed an action after activating this task, the system prompted him.
In just a few hours, he had umted over a dozen different professional talents.
This made him fully aware that this task was not as simple as he had imagined.
The activation of these talents was entirely uncontroble.
Even when you take something seriously, it doesn¡¯t give you any indication.
But when you don¡¯t even consider it, it tells you that your talent has been developed.
Moreover, once a profession is developed, there will be no further progress prompts.
You can¡¯t see how each of your professions has developed.
This is a critical point.
ording to this trend, McKenzie felt that in 30 days, what he might develop would be a talent he hadn¡¯t even thought of.
Even if he locks himself in a room studying alchemy for 30 days, the resulting profession might not be an Alchemist but may well be something like a Hikikomori.
¡°Whatever, let it be!¡±
After realizing the mechanism of this task, McKenzie fully surrendered.
[You surrender, you have developed a [Salted Fish] profession talent!]
¡°To hell with the salted fish!¡±
McKenzie rolled his eyes and simply blocked the system prompts, focusing his attention on the task at hand.
At this moment, McKenzie had set up a small stand in District 4 and ced unused items like the Rotten Poison Arrow Bag and the Small Fireball Staff on it.
In fact, McKenzie initially intended to directly sell these items.
However, the prices quoted by the merchants weren¡¯t satisfactory.
They were much cheaper than the prices set by the stand holders outside.
In the end, Dean gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, deciding to sell it himself!
High-quality goods are never unwanted!
And indeed, as soon as McKenzie¡¯s stand was set up, the Small Fireball Staff was bought away.
The buyer was a noble and wealthy Mage.
He happened to be using a small Fireball and fell in love with this magic wand at first sight.
Without negotiating the price with McKenzie, he directly threw 1 Gold and 50 Silver coins at McKenzie.
This made McKenzie, who had been trying to bargain a higher price, feel a painful twinge in his heart.
Damn it!
He quoted too low a price!
However, taking in 1.5 Gold was satisfying for McKenzie.
Turns out, McKenzie was doing well for a first-time stand holder, just as he sent off the rich Mage, another buyer immediately made a price inquiry.
¡°Big bro, how much for this arrow bag¡oh, it¡¯s you, big bro!¡±
McKenzie looked up in surprise, discovering that the familiar face was none other than Xander Xavier, the honest young man who almost shot Doggy Three with an arrow at the Skeleton Cave and pointed out a monster hunting location to him.
¡°It¡¯s you! For you, it¡¯s 60 Silver coins.¡±
McKenzie had a good impression of this young man, he was honest and humble, and in a sense, if he hadn¡¯t given up the monster hunting spot to McKenzie, how could he have had this harvest, right?
Therefore, McKenzie gave the honest young man a sincere discounted price.
¡°That doesn¡¯t seem right!¡±
The young man was a bit overly naive, scratching his head: ¡°Big bro, you won¡¯t make much of a profit from this, will you?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll pay you some more, big bro!¡±
In the end, the young man generously gave McKenzie 60 Silver coins and added a ring.
Name: Mana Recovery Ring
Quality: Ordinary
Level: Level 8
Equipment requirement: Mage
Effect 1: Level 1 [Mana Recovery]
Effect 2: Level 1 [Mana Recovery]
A ring with two Level 1 Mana Recovery, which can recover 2 Mana points every five minutes.
How to put it, for other people, this ring is not very useful.
After all, you can only equip one ring per hand, and there are only two equipment slots. Trading them for 2 Mana points every five minutes is definitely not a good deal.
But McKenzie agreed because the ring¡¯s value was low, and it was something he currently needed.
After the transaction, McKenzie wanted to chat with the young man.
But before McKenzie had a chance to speak, the young man, who was fiddling with the newly acquired Rotten Poison Arrow Bag, suddenly changed his expression and hastily apologized to Dean McKenzie before leaving.
¡°What¡¯s up with him?¡±
McKenzie curiously watched the young man leave in a hurry.
He seemed unusually excited.
¡°Never mind, let¡¯s not worry about him.¡±
Afterwards, McKenzie took back his gaze and continued tending to his stand.
At this point, there wasn¡¯t much left on his stand, just a Mana Potion (Tiny) Form.
However, he also put up a purchase notice.
Seeking equipment with mana recovery or mana storage attributes or equipment with the skill Bone Shield.
Three hourster, McKenzie could only reluctantly close down the stand.
The form couldn¡¯t be sold because it required a side job like Alchemist or Pharmacist to study. As for the equipment-
There were indeed ones with Bone Shield, but when he tried one on, he found out that it couldn¡¯t boost the level of his already enhanced Bone Shield, so he had to let it go.
Apart from that, he couldn¡¯t afford the gear needed for mana recovery and mana storage, which were too expensive.
Just as Dean was packing up his stall, nning to look around and purchase supplies before heading to District 5, a group of men in Professional Alliance Enforcer Uniforms suddenly appeared before his stand.
There were four of them, standing in front of his stall, forming a semi-circle around McKenzie.
¡°So, you¡¯re Dean McKenzie¡±
The aggressive aura from the neers left McKenzie stunned; he innocently raised his hands.
¡°Yes, that¡¯s me.¡±
¡°Please,e with us!¡±
¡°Um, may I ask what¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°We can¡¯t disclose that at the moment, but you¡¯ll know once youe with us!¡±
Next thing, a bbergasted McKenzie was whisked away by the Enforcers¡
Chapter 36 - 36: 036 Goblin Forest
Chapter 36: 036 Goblin Forest
Trantor: 549690339
When the four Law Enforcers came for him, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind was racing with various thoughts.
He had already considered the identities of these four.
Were they Anthony¡¯s men? Or from the Fallen Professionals?
Or perhaps they were connected to the woman who had a grudge against Anthony, someone he had only met once before?
But none of these assumptions were correct!
They were simply Law Enforcers from South Hill Base.
And the reason they sought Dean McKenzie was beyond his wildest expectations!
¡°What did you say? Xander Xavier has disappeared? How is that possible? He was just here not long ago buying an equipment from me. How could he just vanish?¡¯1
Upon hearing the reason why the Law Enforcers were looking for him, Dean McKenzie was genuinely shocked.
¡°Based on the information we¡¯ve gathered, he has indeed disappeared.
Just two or three hours ago!¡±
¡°Two or three hours ago? That¡¯s just after he left here, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s why we asked for your cooperation in this investigation.¡±
¡°Wait a minute, you¡¯re telling me you¡¯re sure he has disappeared after just two or three hours?
Perhaps he¡¯s went somewhere and can¡¯t be reached at the moment¡¡±
¡°Well, we are quite sure about this, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t have asked for your cooperation.
Now, could you please tell us about the process of him buying things at your stall!¡±
The Law Enforcers merely asked Dean McKenzie toe in for questioning.
About half an hourter, after he had finished giving his statement, he was allowed to leave.
But even though Dean McKenzie was let out by the Law Enforcers, he didn¡¯t look well at all.
On one hand, he still couldn¡¯t believe that Xander Xavier had simply vanished within South Hill Base.
On the other hand, he had heard something distressing about Xander Xavier¡¯s disappearance from the Law Enforcers.
They suggested that Xander¡¯s disappearance might be rted to the Fallen Professionals.
The reason they might be interested in Xander, was very likely because he had unlocked his Talent.
Yes, Xander unlocked his Talent.
Right here at his stall, when he tried out the ¡°Rotten Poison Arrow Bag¡±.
The Law Enforcers were pretty certain about this because Xander contacted his mentor as soon as he left Dean¡¯s stall after the Talent unlocking urred.
It was also his mentor who reported Xander¡¯s disappearance to the Law Enforcers.
Most likely, Xander had exposed his Talent while on his way to inform his mentor and was then targeted and captured by the Fallen Professionals.
¡°Why would the Fallen Professionals want to capture Xander?¡±
Dean McKenzie asked one of the professionals who had brought him in.
The other party was quite straightforward and replied while scratching his head, ¡°Well, I heard that the Fallen Professionals have a way of plundering the Talents of other professionals.
Also, they seem to prefer using Talented professionals for their potion brewing, but as for the exact circumstances, nobody really knows!
Alright, thanks for your cooperation. Don¡¯t leave South Hill Base for the next few days, and if you recall any additional details, please don¡¯t hesitate to contact me!¡±
The Law Enforcer left after escorting Dean McKenzie to the door, leaving Dean standing there breaking out in a cold sweat.
This was the first time he realized how incredibly dangerous and horrifying it could be if his Talent were to be exposed.
Anthony might not even be able to protect him. Today¡¯s fate of Xander could very well be his tomorrow.
At that moment, he made a silent vow to himself that he would never expose his Talent to anyone, no matter what.
Meanwhile, the matter with Xander further unsettled Dean¡¯s already restless heart.
He couldn¡¯t afford to waste even a single moment.
¡°I must be stronger, as quickly as possible!¡±
With that, Dean rushed into the trading area. After purchasing arge amount of supplies, he set off for District 5.
District 5 of South Hill Base wasposed of four maps.
The first was the Slime ins, with monster levels ranging from level 1 to 5.
The second was Skeleton Cave, which Dean had visited before, with monster levels ranging from level 5 to 10.
The third was the Goblin Forest, with monster levels ranging from level 10 to
15-
The third is Mermaid Lake, where the monsters are level 15 to 20.
Four maps,pletely covering the monster grinding needs from levels 1 to 20.
Now, Dean McKenzie was heading straight for the Goblin Forest.
At the ¡°Secret Realm Gate¡± in District 5, after a sensation of weightlessness, Dean arrived at the Goblin Forest.
This map area is somewhatrger than Skeleton Cave, around two to three hundred square kilometres.
The environment was also much better.
Unlike the Skeleton Cave, which is dark, damp and you could hardly see your hands.
A major advantage of Goblin Forest over Skeleton Cave was that there were hardly anyone here.
The neers at South Hill Base were admitted once a year.
Typically, within about half a year, the neers could grind their way up to level 20.
After all, the difficulty of leveling up to the first 20 levels in this world is not too high, it¡¯s only when it¡¯s time to change professions at level 20 that it bes a major barrier.
This barrier shakes off at least fifty percent of people.
Of course, this barrier or no barrier didn¡¯t matter much to Dean at the moment.
The main point was, this year¡¯s batch of neers at South Hill Base had just arrived less than a month ago.
Less than a month¡¯s time, most of the neers were still under level 10, stillpeting for monsters in the Slime ins and the Skeleton Cave, or getting up close and personal with hairy rats outside of the base under the guidance of base instructors.
There were hardly anyone in Goblin Forest.
Dean no longer encountered the same embarrassing situation as when he was in the Skeleton Cave, unable to find any monsters after looking around for ages.
On the contrary, because hardly any people came to grind, there was a bit of an infestation of monsters in the Goblin Forest.
Dean just arrived at the Goblin Forest and a dozen green figures howled and surrounded him.
Dean swept his gaze around and began quietly chanting, the Appraisal Skill was used and the attributes of the dozen or so figures appeared before him.
Name: Forest Goblin (Ordinary)
Level: Level 10
Attributes:
Strength: 3, Agility: 3, Physique: 3
Attack: 3 (3)
Defense: 1.5 (2)
Skill: Goblin Throw (Level 1)
Equipment: Goblin Bup Clothes, Goblin Crude Throwing Spear
Name : Vicious Goblin Boss (Elite)
Level: Level 13
Attributes:
Strength: 9, Agility: 3, Physique: 5
Attack: 9 (5)
Defense: 2.5 (5)
Skill: Ferocious Strike (Level 1)
Equipment: Goblin Leather Armor, Goblin Wolf Tooth Club
With a quick nce, Dean saw the difference between goblins and other monsters like Skeleton Corpses.
In terms of attributes, the difference wasn¡¯t significant, but the goblins could use equipment.
The originally not-so-strong goblins immediately looked savage after putting on the equipment.
Moreover, the goblins seemed to have a certain level of intelligence and understood the concept of bullying the weak with numbers.
Upon spotting Dean, they immediately surrounded him to beat him up.
¡°Bullying the weak with greater numbers, is it? Then let¡¯s see who¡¯s got more people!¡±
Dean gave a wide grin, raising his arm, a colossal Gate of Bones appeared before his eyes, and Doggy Two led a rush of dozens upon hundreds of skeletons out.
This made the charging goblins halt instantly and without a word, they all turned around and ran away.
This scaredy-cat behaviour left Dean gaping in confusion¡
Chapter 37 - 37: 037 Second Elite Template Skeleton
Chapter 37: 037 Second Elite Temte Skeleton
Trantor: 549690339 |
Goblin Forest.
Watching the goblins turn their backs and run, not even thinking of having a go at a fight.
Dean McKenzie helplessly found that there was nowhere to use his summoned Skeleton Legion.
He couldn¡¯t catch up with the fleeing goblins.
However, if left idle, the goblins wouldn¡¯t dare to approach either.
If the Skeleton Legion reached a certain scale, Dean McKenzie could simply spread them out.
The problem was, there were at most a couple of hundred in the Skeleton Legion. It wouldn¡¯t make much of a difference spreading them out.
Having no other choice, Dean McKenzie had to retract his Skeleton Legion in the same way he summoned them.
The hrious part was,
Once he pulled back his Skeleton Legion, it didn¡¯t take too long for the flock of fleeing goblins to swarm back towards Dean McKenzie again.
These opportunistic fellows seem to think that without the Skeleton Legion, Dean would be easy prey again.
¡°What shall I say about these chaps?
They are adorably stupid!¡±
Watching the encircling goblins, a gradually ferocious smile appeared on Dean¡¯s face.
The Bone Shield arose, blocking the wooden spears raining down one after another.
He held his magic ready, waiting for them toe closer.
Only when they got close within 10 meters of Dean, did he finally strike back resolutely.
Along with the swing of his hand, Bone Fang slipped in. Doggy Two rushed forward to meet the goblin chief. The heavy sword in his hand swept across, breaking the Wolf Tooth Club of the goblin chief, and knocked him into a severe state.
With one blow, the goblin chief was heavily wounded, leaving the nearby goblins in astonishment.
Then, the situation turned around.
The deranged smile of the goblins was transferred to Dean¡¯s face, as he began to reap the frantic escaping goblins.
Ten-something goblins, in under three minutes, all except the goblin chief were squashed to death.
[You used [talent] extraction on goblins, extracting o.i each of strength, agility and physique!]
For ten-something goblins, Dean expended about two to three hundred mana, and only extracted strength, agility, and physique ¨C all three attributes. He didn¡¯t extract spirit, which he wanted, at all.
Dean didn¡¯t mind it and summoned Doggy Three.
¡°I can¡¯t enhance myself, but I can enhance a fresh Doggy Three.
Otherwise, each time Doggy Two charges into the front, I¡¯d have no sense of security without a protector!¡±
As Dean said this, he directly got into action.
[You spent five Silver Coins to activate [Doggy Three] enhancement!]
[You spent a Silver Coin and 300 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.3 strength!]
[You spent a Silver Coin and 300 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.3 agility! ]
[You spent a Silver Coin and 300 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.3 physique!]
[You used the item [Fragile Skeleton Warrior Temte], transitioning your wraith servant Doggy Three into a [Fragile Skeleton Warrior]; your wraith servant [Doggy Three] received an attack+1!]
Since Dean nned to use Doggy Three as a close-bodyguard, he didn¡¯t follow the extremist improvement strategy.
Otherwise, it would be too extreme and unresponsive to emergencies.
Furthermore, Dean was improving Doggy Three inside the Land of Bone using the Gate of Bone.
Dean¡¯s talent didn¡¯t draw attention, but enhancement was different. So, he decided to improve Doggy Three inside the Land of Bone, which was rtively more concealed.
After finishing the first round of enhancement for Doggy Three, Dean casually threw the severely injured and dying goblin chief into the Land of Bone, and then continued to spawn the goblins.
Because there were far more goblin monsters and fewer people, Dean wasn¡¯t worried about running out of monsters to fight.
He didn¡¯t even need to go looking for them.
These goblins were all opportunists. As long as they saw Dean and Doggy Two¡¯s team of two, they would shriek ande rushing for their heads.
Moreover, the quality of monsters in the Goblin Forest was clearly better than that in the Skeleton Cave.
Every wave basically had at least ten normal Forest Goblins along with an Elite Goblin Chief.
By merely consuming two waves, the 5 points of enhancement for Doggy Three filled up.
[You spent 1 Silver Coin and 100 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.1 agility!]
[Doggy Three¡¯s attribute allocation has temporarily reached its limit¡)
[You have sessfully used the [Elite Temte], you can now choose one of the following evolution routes for Doggy Three!
1,?? Agile Skeleton Warrior
2,?? Mighty Skeleton Warrior]
[You have chosen[Mighty Skeleton Warrior], your Doggy Three¡¯s agility and physique have respectively increased by 0.5, strength increased by 1, and Spirit Power column has been activated.]
[Your Doggy Three has awakened skill, Mighty!]
Skill: Mighty
Level: Level 1
Cost: 2 Spirit Power points
Effect: after activation, increase attack power equal to 1 time strength, duration is 1 second!
Compared to Doggy Two, the attributes of the evolved Doggy Three are quite ordinary, but Dean McKenzie is still very satisfied.
Next, Dean McKenzie continued to allocate attribute points.
After about three or four hours, and after several rounds of Goblin encounter, he was finally able to max out Doggy Three¡¯s 10 attribute points.
[You have spent 16 Silver Coins to give Doggy Two 8 strength points!]
[You have spent 4 Silver Coins to give Doggy Two 2 agility points! ]
[Your Doggy Three¡¯s level has risen from level 4 to level 7, strength increased by 1.5, agility increased by 0.9, physique increased by 0.6, and spirit points increased by 6!]
Name: Mighty Skeleton Warrior
Level: Level 7
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 13.2, Agility: 6.9, Physique: 3.5
Attack: 14.2
Defense: 1.75
Spirit Power: 11
Skill: Mighty
At this moment, Dean McKenzie already felt the power of his talent.
Although the previous two instances were a tad bit stifling, and his power increase rtively slow.
But once he had a solid foundation, the increase in his power was like a snowball rolling down a hill.
Within just a few hours, he spent 90 Silver Coins to create an elite temte of a Wraith Servant.
But that was not even the biggest benefit Dean McKenzie got these past few hours.
Within this period, Dean McKenzie has defeated 8 waves of Goblins.
He obtained 20 Silver Coins, 12 small Mana Potions, and 5 small Life Potions.
Of course, these earnings certainly did not match up to the consumption of 90 Silver Coins by Dean McKenzie, but in fact, these are just a small part of his earnings. His biggest part of the earnings stilly within the Land of Bone.
Inside it, there were currently 8 Goblin Leaders, of level 12 to 14 with elite temtes, lying on the ground.
If all of them were killed, Dean McKenzie estimated that purely in term of value of the items dropped, it could amount to about one Gold. This was definitely sufficient to supplement the consumption of 90 Silver Coins.
Moreover, their Experience Points could bring both Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two up to level 11.
Once they reached level 11, Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two could continue to level up their enhancements.
Conservatively speaking, both Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two could at least add another 10 attribute points to their stats.
That would have a significant and immediate impact on Dean McKenzie and to the enhancement of his strength.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t intend to deal with those 8 Goblin Leaders yet, as he was preparing for the uing Skill Enhancement.
¡°Skill Enhancement has a 5 minute enhancement duration, and the extraction of Attribute Points can only be stored for 30 minutes. Furthermore, Elite Essence can only be extracted during the Skill Enhancement duration.
Under this circumstance, if you want to enhance a powerful skill, you must figure out a way!¡±
Those 8 Goblin Leaders were the solution for Dean McKenzie.
However, now that the solution was in ce, another problem arose; which skill should he enhance next?
Chapter 38 - 38: 038 Skill Upgrade-Goblin Tribe
Chapter 38: 038 Skill Upgrade-Goblin Tribe
Trantor: 549690339 |
Dean McKenzie has many skills listed on his attribute board at present.
The basic one he started with was [Bone Fang].
He chose to enhance the skill of summoning in [Summon Skeleton].
There¡¯s the universal skill [Appraisal].
Then there¡¯s the [Meditation] skill used to restore mana, and the newly awakened, yet unpracticed [Slow Curse].
And also the once enhanced skill [Bone Shield].
Thisst one can be ignored since it had been enhanced, and it can be upgraded again when it reaches level 3.
The second one, [Summon Skeleton], can also be temporarily set aside.
After all, the skill has already been enhanced. Enhancing it further would only increase the strength of summoned skeletons or the number of skeletons summoned.
For the former, Dean McKenzie has the Gate of Bone, and for thetter, he has the talent to summon skeletons.
So, there¡¯s no real need to upgrade this skill at the moment, unless Dean has an ample quota for enhancements.
Dean McKenzie has considered that by level 20, if there¡¯s no temte improvement, he should still have 2 to 3 enhancement quotas. If the temte is improved, then it would be 3 to 4.
Adding the one he currently has¡
Dean McKenzie¡¯s number of enhancement quotas could reach 4 to 5!
He could essentially enhance all existing skills, so Dean is not overly concerned.
It¡¯s just a matter of sequence.
¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes for now. Currently, I¡¯mcking overall. If all else fails, I¡¯ll just add one skill at a time!
Now, let¡¯s focus on monster hunting!
I¡¯ve only explored approximately a quarter of the Goblin Forest till now. Given the quality of monsters present, who knows, I mighte across a bosses with excellent temtes!¡±
As Dean spoke, he found a spot to rest with Doggy Two.
Well, within less than five hours in the Goblin Forest, Dean had rested seven or eight times already.
Every time he rested, the main aim was to recover his mana.
Despite his mana appearing to be 572 points, many times more than before, it still seemed somewhat insufficient.
After all, Dean would deplete two to three hundred mana points just for extraction after each wave of goblins.
This demands Dean to frequently stop and recover his mana.
Currently, Dean had two main methods for mana recovery.
The first was consumption of potions!
Before entering the Goblin Forest, with gritted teeth, Dean spent 30 Silver Coins and reluctantly bought 33 [Mana Potions] (Minor).
Adding to what Dean originally had, he carried close to 50 minor [Mana Potions] into the Goblin Forest.
Although the quantity seemed plentiful, it only totaled around 5000 mana points.
Moreover, a single mana potion, almost 250 ml, couldn¡¯t be consumed entirely at once.
Thus, Dean¡¯s mana recovery heavily relied on potions, supplemented by meditation, and mana recovery items.
It turned out to be pretty effective.
Originally, a mana potion could recover 100 mana points, pure meditation would recover 1 mana point per minute, and equipment could recover around 0.6 mana points per minute.
After being cleverlybined by Dean, his mana recovery rate could reach 190 to 200 points every half an hour.
Moreover, through this process, the proficiency of Dean¡¯s [Meditation] skill was also quickly improving.
When Dean took down the eighth wave of goblins, his Meditation skill had reached 95% proficiency at level 1.
Taking the opportunity, Dean chugged two minor [Mana Potion].
He attempted to boost the [Meditation] skill with the power of the potions!
With the assistance of the two potions, Dean miraculously recovered 350 mana points within half an hour.
In this process, his [Meditation] skill sessfully leveled up to 2!
[Ding, your [Meditation] skill has increased to level 2!]
Skill: Meditation
Level: 2
Effect: After entering a meditative state, mana recovery can be speeded up.
Current Mana Recovery Speed: 2 points/minute
The level 2 [Meditation] skill has increased Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana recovery speed twofold.
Now, coupled with the [Mana Potion], Dean¡¯s mana recovery rate can stably reach around 250 every half an hour.
As of now, it seems to be just enough.
However, Dean still felt unsatisfied, ¡°I wonder what it would be like if the Meditation skill was enhanced. Will I eventually have an unlimited mana supply?
Should I give it a try?¡±
Thinking of unlimited mana, Dean couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly restless.
Just then, a familiar ¡®wooh¡¯ sound arose from the forest, drawing Dean¡¯s attention.
It was a sound reminiscent of easy kills.
But as Dean was preparing to reap his reward, he noticed something strange.
¡°Are those goblins running away?¡±
Dean clearly saw a group of ten or so goblins frantically rushing past him as if they were fleeing.
They didn¡¯t manage to cover much distance before a barrage of wooden spears pinned down the goblins, resulting in instantaneous death for most of them, leaving only one elite monster alive.
Not long after, another group ofrger and smarter dressed goblins emerged from behind the first group.
These goblins simply dragged away the bodies of the previous group, including the one remaining elite monster.
Before the new group left, Dean managed to cast an [Appraisal Skill] and got the attributes of those goblins.
Name: Goblin Militia
Level: 13
Attributes:
Strength: 4, Agility: 4, Physique: 4
Attack: 4 (3)
Defense: 2 (4)
Skill: Goblin Throw(i level)
Equipment: Goblin Special Bup Clothes, Goblin Special Javelin
¡°These goblins seem to be quite capable!¡±
Dean¡¯s eyes sparkled. His intuition tells him he has snared arge fish this time.
Then, without making a sound, he quietly followed the group of goblins.
Dean¡¯s tracking skills were quite good.
He didn¡¯t lose the goblins or get discovered by them all the way.
Twenty minutester, Dean followed the group of goblins to their destination.
At the venue, Dean saw a sizable goblin tribe.
The tribe was established in a thickly bushed valley, with about dozens of huts made from wood and grass. In the middle surrounded by huts was a square with a huge iron pot hanging in the center.
The goblin militia, dragging the corpses of the other goblins, made their way to the iron pot in the center of the square.
Dean¡¯s attention followed them.
As his gazended on the iron pot, his eyes lit up.
He spotted a ck Iron Treasure Chest beside the cast-iron pot, along with an extraordinarily sturdy, muscr goblin¡.

Goblin Forest.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw this goblin tribe, he made up his mind, he was going to eliminate this tribe.
He said it!
Without hesitating, Dean McKenzie got to work!
Raising a shield for Doggy Two, he was about to send Doggy Two into battle.
However, before Dean McKenzie could even give the order.
A figure whizzed out from a different direction.
A red figure with a huge red hammer.
Dean McKenzie was taken aback, isn¡¯t that Boss Hammer?
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t expect to run into Boss Hammer again, first in the
Skeleton Cave and now in the Goblin Forest.
Instinctively, he cast the Appraisal Skill again.
This time it worked, and Dean McKenzie was able to see most of Bell Be¡¯s attributes.
Name: Bell Be
Temte Quality: Rare
Trait: ???
Level: 8
Attributes:
Strength: 18 (5), Agility: 6 (2), Physique: 10
Attack: 18+(12)
Defense: 5+(l¡ã)

(ck Iron) (level io), me Battle Boots (ck Iron) (level io), ????
PS: Some attributes were not identified
These are some seriously impressive attributes.
At only level 8, her base attribute points already total 32.
To put that in perspective, Dean McKenzie¡¯s base attribute points are still under 20, and Doggy Two¡¯s are around 24 even after Dean McKenzie added nearly 10 points, and Doggy Two added 15 points.
The attributes of a rare quality big shot are truly terrifying.
While Dean McKenzie was gasping in awe, Be¡¯s discontent eyes found him again.
At that, Dean McKenzie cheerfully waved at her, ¡°Hey boss, it¡¯s me, boss!¡±
¡°Ran into you again, boss. Finally got to see your attributes, boss!¡±
¡°18 points in strength, that¡¯s seriously scary, boss!
Last time, Dean McKenzie had already figured out how to handle big shots like
her.
Initially, he only called her boss to ease the awkwardness of peeking at her, but to his surprise, she seemed to enjoy it.
So Dean McKenzie adhered to the principle of giving them what they like to hear and began affectionately calling her ¡°boss¡± once again.
He stood on the sidelines, constantly eximing, ¡°Boss, boss.¡±
asionally throwing in something like ¡°Amazing¡± or ¡°So awesome.
In no time, Be was overwhelmed.
She waspletely hooked on Dean McKenzie¡¯s persistent calling of the word ¡°boss,¡± so much so that she became thoroughly engaged in the battle.
Gradually, Be somehow fought her way to the heart of the Goblin Tribe.
Of course, neither Dean McKenzie nor Be noticed this.
Both of them were engrossed-Dean McKenzie was cheering enthusiastically and pping on the sidelines, whilst Be was lost in the endless stream of ¡°boss¡± and was bing more and more invested in the battle.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was already toote.
¡°Boss is amazing, boss is so powerful!¡±
¡°Boss¡ fuck, boss got stabbed!¡±
just as it seemed Be was about to go berserk and take down the enormous goblin in the center of the square with one swing of her hammer.
A spear came flying out of nowhere and knocked Be, who was leaping high in the air, to the ground.
Then the goblins swarmed around her.
Instantly, Boss Hammer was swallowed up by the crowd.
This scene took Dean McKenzie by surprise. He was worried that Be might just die there.
Thankfully, Be instantly swung her hammer with a violent strength, driving several goblins away. Then, dragging her hammer and nursing her wounds, she broke out of the Goblin Tribe.
But entering this tribe was easy, leaving, however, wasn¡¯t as simple.
Goblins as a race are opportunistic bullies; they cower when faced with strength and bully in the face of weakness.
Seeing that Be was alone and injured, the goblins surround her. Under the unceasing encirclement of the goblins, Be, who had stormed in with overwhelming momentum, found it extremely difficult to fight her way out.
She was effectively pinned down.
Although she wouldn¡¯t die instantly, once she ran out of potions and energy, her death would be inevitable!
Just like that, she had undoubtedly fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Under these circumstances, it seemed that the only one who could save her was Dean McKenzie, who was cheering ¡°Boss 666¡± off to the side.
Would he make a move?
Be looked toward Dean with mixed emotions.
Meanwhile, over at Dean¡
After a brief moment of confusion, he gave a determinedmand.
¡°Doggy Two, go!¡±
Without uttering another word, Dean directed Doggy Two to lead the charge into the goblin tribe from his side.
Admittedly, watching Dean rush into the goblin tribe without any hesitations, Be was deeply touched.
He truly stepped up when there was danger; Be began to see the value in him.
However, she was somewhat worried about Dean¡¯s abilities.
If he failed to rescue her and instead ended up entangling himself, it would do more harm than good.
Soon after, however, Be realized her worries were unwarranted.
Dean¡¯s skeleton servant, leading the charge into the goblin tribe with its heavy sword, swept away several goblins with a single swing.
That attack, that strength, it seemed to be just as formidable as hers.
This left Be agape.
Of course, after a brief moment of confusion, Be was pleasantly surprised. With a wraith servant like Dean¡¯s, her safety was essentially assured. The only problem was, Dean and his wraith servant took a bit of a detour after entering the tribe!
¡°No, is he trying to take down that boss?¡±
It took Be a while before she realized what Dean was up to.
Meanwhile, Dean had already reached the central za of the goblin tribe.
This was primarily due to Be drawing most of the goblins away, giving Dean an advantageous opportunity.
However, just because Dean had gotten close to the za didn¡¯t mean he stood a chance against the boss.
The moment Doggy Two approached the za, a long spear shot out.
It¡¯s here!
Be, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, felt her pupils shrink.
She had nearly lost her life to that very spear before; she was all too aware of its potential threat.
She feared that the skeleton, protected only by a ragged leather armor and practically naked in her eyes, was doomed.
¡°ng!¡±
just as Be finished processing this thought, a white bone shield sprang up in front of Doggy Two.
The impable timing of the shield¡¯s summoning aside¡
What surprised Be even more was that the long spear didn¡¯t pierce the bone shield but merely lodged itself on top of it.
The defensive strength of the bone shield left Be wide-eyed.
Meanwhile, Dean¡¯s eyes were also shining.
As the one who summoned the bone shield, he knew better than anyone its remarkable strength as well as the sharpness of that spear that had embedded in it.
Most importantly, a set of attributes appeared in front of Dean at this moment.
Life: Excellent goblin Spearman (Elite)
Level: 14
Attribute points:
Strength: 6, Agility: 6, Physique: 5
Attack: 6 (8)
Defense: 2.5 (5)
Spirit Power: 4/10
Skills: Goblin Throw (Level 2),
Pration Strike (Level 1) (after activation, the attack can prate 10 points of the target¡¯s defense)
Equipment: Goblin Leather Armor, Quality Goblin Spear
Looking at these attributes, Dean couldn¡¯t help but have a glint in his eyes.
¡°I think I know which skill I need to upgrade first!
Chapter 40 - 40: 040 Goblin Lord
Chapter 40: 040 Goblin Lord
Trantor: 549690339
Goblin Forest, Goblin Tribe.
¡°Doggy Two, attack!¡±
Upon Dean McKenzie¡¯s order, Doggy Two, bearing the Bone Shield, headed straight for the impressive Goblin Spearman.
Sensing danger, the Spearman raised his hand and tossed another spear. Another Pration Strike, coupled with level 2 Goblin Throw and the 8-Attack-Point-boosting wooden pole, empowered the spear with power exceeding 20, but it availed nothing.
The 10-point pration couldn¡¯t do much against Doggy Two¡¯s high defense of over seventy points, allowing the spear to once again get stuck on his Bone Shield.
When the Spearman realized the danger after his ineffective strike, it was already toote. Doggy Two had already rushed forward and was right in front of him.
A single sword swipe, and the Goblin Spearman¡¯s arm was chopped off.
A swift kick worsened the injury, then Doggy Two skillfully dragged it away. McKenzie threw it into the Land of Bone out of Bell Be¡¯s sight.
just as McKenzie captured the Goblin Spearman, anotherrge Goblin wielding a huge Wolf Tooth Club, rushed menacingly towards him!
McKenzie naturally had not forgotten about this boss.
As it was rushing in, McKenzie quickly threw an Appraisal Skill at it.
[You¡¯ve sessfully used the Appraisal Skill to obtain Goblin Lord¡¯s attributes!]
Name: Goblin Lord (Elite)
Level: 15
Attributes:
Strength: 13 (5), Agility: 4, Physique: 6 (10)
Attack: 13 (10)
Defense: 8 (8)
Skills: Surge (Level 2), Ferocious Strike (Level 2), Morale Boost (Level 1) Equipment: Goblin Fine Leather Armor (ck Iron), Goblin Lord¡¯s Wrath (ck Iron)
A level 15, with three skills!
Equipped with two pieces of ck Iron level equipment.
Such attributes could be called gorgeous.
Frightened, McKenzie rushed to cast a skill against it.
[You¡¯ve sessfully used the Slow Curse on Goblin Lord. Its movement speed
is reduced by 10% for 3 seconds!]
It was the first time McKenzie was using this level-10 new skill.
How was the effect? You may ask.
Quite ordinary!
At least, McKenzie didn¡¯t see any noticeable decline in the Goblin Lord¡¯s speed. As McKenzie released the curse, the Goblin Lord had already approached within 7 meters of Doggy Two.
The Lord¡¯s level 2 Surge Skill was instantly activated, causing an explosive increase in its speed and bringing it right in front of Doggy Two in the blink of an eye.
After the club shone brightly, it swung down viciously towards Doggy Two.
¡°Smack!¡±
This attack,bined with the Lord¡¯s high basic strength of 18 points and the explosive power unleashed by two skills, was terrifying.
Taking the hit, Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Shield shattered instantly. Thankfully, McKenzie provided Doggy Two with another Bone Shield in time, or else Doggy Two might have been blown apart.
Once the second shield resisted the first extreme attack from the Goblin Lord, the battle was practically over.
Doggy Two¡¯s Pupil Fire flickered.
The Bone King exploded in an instant, the Goblin Lord was thrown into a second of chaos.
A second might seem brief, but it was enough, especially at this critical moment, to end the Goblin Lord s life.
Seizing the opportunity, Doggy Two lunged forward, his heavy sword swung towards the Goblin Lord.
Doggy Two¡¯s strike might have been a bit less powerful than the Goblin Lord¡¯s skill burst, but this Goblin Lord did not have the Bone Shield.
Moreover, under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Doggy Two was aiming straight for the opponent¡¯s head.
By the time the Goblin Lord broke free from a second of confusion, Doggy Two¡¯s sword had alreadynded on his head.
¡°St!¡±
A green head was smashed to pieces, and at the same time, the system prompt started to refresh rapidly.
[You sessfully yed [Goblin Lord], you earned 500 Experience Points!] [Your level has risen to Level 11, your Spiritual Power has increased by 1 point, reaching 16.2, your Mana limit has increased to 162 points!]
[Your wraith servant, Doggy Two¡¯s level upgraded to Level 10, attributes are enhanced!
Strength: 15.1-15-4, Agility: 5-9¡å6-2
Physique: 2.6-2.8, Spirit: 1.6-1.8, Spirit Power: 14-16]
[You used Talent Extraction on the Goblin Lord, you obtained a [Low-level Lord Temte Shard], and gained 1 point of strength!]
Meanwhile, with the death of the Goblin Lord.
The morale of the goblins in the tribe, who were previously fearless of death, instantly copsed.
The entire tribe started to disintegrate.
The goblins that were surrounding Bell Be also began to flee.
And Bell Be who had been surrounded and besieged for a long time, was now chasing and killing these goblins with her hammer.
In coordination with Bell Be, Dean McKenzie spent half an hour clearing out the Goblin Tribe.
When all the goblins in the Goblin Tribe were either killed or had fled, the entire Goblin Tribe was left only with Dean McKenzie and Bell Be, making the atmosphere instantly awkward.
To be precise, Bell Be felt a bit awkward.
Especially when Dean McKenzie approached her with a smile on his face to greet her.
¡°Boss, thanks to you for leading me, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to take down this tribe!¡±
As soon as Dean McKenzie said this,
Bell Be thought of her embarrassing performance just then, and her face instantly turned red!
She was so awkward it felt like she was locked in a three-room apartment with him.
¡®Why did you save me,
Why didn¡¯t you let me die amongst the goblins!¡¯ At this moment, Bell Be felt like Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze was filled with mockery.
She couldn¡¯t help but itch to smash Dean McKenzie with her hammer, but he had just saved her, and she had no reason to attack him, making her feel extremely frustrated.
¡°Boss¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call me boss, you¡¯re the boss, your whole family is¡
Bell Be interrupted Dean McKenzie¡¯s words aggressively, her head lifting to meet his eyes.
As their eyes met, Bell Be¡¯s anger instantly quieted down. Because the man in front of her had strangely clear eyes that didn¡¯t seem to be mocking her at all, and he was currently piling up a lot of glowing points in front of him and excitedly calling her over, ¡°Boss,e over, let¡¯s divide the loot, boss!¡±
Seeing Dean McKenzie in front of her, Bell Be fell silent for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I came here, not for the spoils of war, but to hone mybat skills.
I was careless this time!
If it wasn¡¯t for you, I might have been done for in there.
This lesson is the biggest gain for me!
Leave all these things to you!¡±
After saying this, Bell Be turned around, her heart bleeding, and ran away without looking back.
No matter how stunned Dean McKenzie was and how loudly he called after her, This was herst shred of dignity.
While running, tears began to stream down Be s face.
All the spoils of war on the ground were left behind, oh my goddamn, useless vanity!

Chapter 41:041 Enhanced Bone Fang
Trantor: 549690339
Bell Be ran.
She sprinted with the hammer, the kind of run that Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t even stop by yelling.
Watching Bell Be, who disappeared from his sight almost instantly, Dean
McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but scratch his head.
¡°I feel like I bullied her somehow?
Ah, nevermind her, she is a rich person wearing all ck iron, she won¡¯t miss these items. I¡¯ll just collect the spoils of our battle first!¡±
After saying that, Dean McKenzie picked up all the light dots on the ground.
This round, the number of goblins in by Dean McKenzie and Boss Hammer was estimated to be close to two hundred.
Even a few elite temte monsters were present.
This was Dean McKenzie¡¯s first time ying elite monsters after he entered the
Goblin Forest.
It was also his first time collecting the light dots from the elite monsters.
The gains were not bad.
After collecting them, Dean McKenzie¡¯s money reached a new peak of 4 gold and 12 silver.
He had also restored 50 small mana potions and got 3 life potions.
More importantly, there were two pieces of equipment.
Name: Goblin Fury
Quality: ck Iron
Level: Level 15
Usage Requirement: 13 strength points or higher.
Effect 1: Increase attack by 10 points.
Effect 2: Increase strength by 5 points.
Effect 3: Dash skill +1 (Limit to 3 levels)
Name: Goblin Leather Armor
Quality: Common
Level: Level 13
Usage Requirement: None
Effect: Increase defense by 8 points.
When these two pieces of equipment came out, Dean McKenzie handed Doggy
Two both the ¡°Goblin Fury¡± and ¡°Goblin Leather Armor¡±. The reced broadsword and leather armor were then given to Doggy Three without wastage.
After wearing the two new pieces of equipment, Doggy Two¡¯s power ascended
to a new height.
The strength was directly raised to 20.4, with the equipment added, the baseline would be more than 30 points.
This was nowhere close to Doggy Two¡¯s limit.
just by clearing this one tribe, Doggy Two¡¯s experience points were already
piled up to 93¡ã/¡ã of level ten.
It wasn¡¯t very far from level eleven.
Upon reaching level eleven, Doggy Two could be enhanced once again.
At that time, the strength of Doggy Two could be further enhanced.
¡°If Doggy Two¡¯s attributes can be strengthened once more, they will not be much worse than Boss Hammer¡¯s. They might even be better.
Of course, this isparing to the current level-eight Boss Hammer.
If he levels up to level eleven, their attributes won¡¯t differ much.
By level twenty, Boss Hammer¡¯s attributes will likely surpass Doggy Two.
So, upgrading talent levels and temtes are necessary.¡±
Dean McKenzie muttered, then took a nce at his own talents.
For now, his experience points had reached 60/1000 .
There were still 940 needed proficiency levels to go.
Considering the current extraction efficiency in the Goblin Forest, one Goblin could provide 0.3 attributes.
Dean McKenzie would need to use the extraction ability at least 3000 times.
He would consume a minimum of ny thousand mana points at 20 mana per extraction.
This doesn¡¯t even consider the rate of sess. Including that, it would take 100,000 mana to increase the talent level.
If only relying on ¡°Meditation¡± to recover mana, Dean McKenzie could recover
2880 points in a day.
A hundred thousand mana points would take over a month.
-After calcting, it¡¯s a bit discouraging. It seems upgrading meditation is
inevitable.
However, not this time.
I can¡¯t really help it. The elite monsters I have right now are closebat physical types, they have nothing to do with meditation.
I couldn¡¯t possibly enhance to get a ¡®Piercing Meditation¡¯, or ¡®Strong Meditation¡¯, right?
There¡¯s also a question manner whether these could be created.
Dean McKenzie has learned a lesson from enhancing the ¡°Bone Shield¡±.
The most suitable one is the best.
Hence, for this enhancement, Dean McKenzie could only regretfully give up on meditation.
Although Dean McKenzie gave up on enhancing Meditation, seeing all the corpses scattered around, he still arranged for the enhancement of another skill.
¡°Although I was considering amassing dozens of elite goblins, it¡¯s simply unrealistic given the current situation. If I do nothing, those who entered before would be on the verge of death. Now I¡¯ve eliminated a tribe, and these goblins are still warm, having recently died. I am going to open the chest, and then enhance the attribute extraction skill!¡±
Dean McKenzie said this and casually opened the remaining ck Iron
Treasure Chest.
[You have opened a ck Iron Treasure Chest, you have unlocked the professional talent of a Treasure Chest Hunter!]
[You¡¯ve unlocked a ck Iron Treasure Chest, you¡¯ve obtained one Gold Coin and an Instance Scroll of ¡®Rise of the Goblin¡¯!]
¡®Instance Scroll?¡¯
Strictly speaking, this was the first time Dean McKenzie got ahold of this thing. Although he had experienced it before, it was used by Ennis Hawkins, so Dean McKenzie had never actually seen it.
Therefore, he was very curious about this.
He promptly picked up the scroll to check its attributes.
Instance Scroll: Rise of the Goblin
Instance Type: Solo Instance
Use Level: Level 10
Instance Exnation: They¡¯re a group surviving in the forest, living on raw meat and animal blood. But if someone sparks the me of civilization within them, can they bloom in their own color?
You will enter the instance as one of the goblins.
Whether to live a miserable life in the forest or lead the rise of the goblins, it¡¯s
all up to you.
Looking at the attributes of this Instance Scroll, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help
but pause.
This Instance differs from the two he¡¯d experienced before. It¡¯s not a survival challenge but seems more like a role-y instance.
¡°This thing is quite interesting!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up.
Having had the experience of two instances, he is now very interested in this new instance scroll.
However, McKenzie did not forget what he was supposed to be doing. Without further ado, he pocketed the scroll.
He then started working on enhancing his skill.
Next, Dean McKenzie, while healing himself, hastily used the extraction skill on the goblin corpses littered around.
Within twenty minutes, Dean downs five mana potions.
His stomach was bloated.
With the original mana stock, he was barely able toplete over 50 mana extractions.
In total, umting 17 various attribute points.
Simultaneously, Dean McKenzie brought with him four elite gobhn corpses he had killed within thest 30 minutes, opened the Gate of Bone, and entered into the Land of Bone.
The moment he stepped in, he started working!
[You have used the Grant Quota, initiating the Grant Enhancement for the skill ¡®Bone Fang¡¯!]
[5 minutes remaining for skill Grant Enhancement!]
[You¡¯ve spent 15 Silver Coins and assigned 15 attribute points to ¡®Bone Fang¡¯, enhancing its attack direction!]
[You¡¯ve used Extraction on an Elite Goblin Spearman, sessfully extracting 1 attack point and a ¡®Long Distance Shooting¡¯ essence!]
[You¡¯ve killed the ¡®Prominent Goblin Spearman¡¯, gaining 300 Experience Points!]
[You¡¯ve killed the ¡®Rampaging Goblin Chief, gaining 250 Experience Points!] [The level of your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two, has increased to level 11! ]
In no time at all, Dean McKenzie had extracted everything from the elite monster corpses he brought in and killed and extracted from the nine severely injured elite goblins.
In total, he acquired 13 attribute points and 13 essences.
From the 13 essences, Dean McKenzie chose to infuse ¡®Pration¡¯ and ¡®Long Distance Shooting¡¯ into Bone Fang.
[You¡¯ve spent 13 Silver Coins to infuse the 13 attribute points into the skill Bone Fang!]
[You¡¯ve spent 40 Silver Coins to infuse ¡®Pration¡¯ and ¡®Long Distance Shooting¡¯ essences into Bone Fang!]
[You¡¯ve spent 25 Silver Coins pouring 5 essences into ¡®Pration¡¯!]
[You¡¯ve spent 20 Silver Coins pouring 4 essences into ¡®Long Distance Shooting¡¯!]
[The enhancement of your skill Bone Fang has been sessful!] Apanied by the system prompt, the attributes of Dean McKenzie¡¯s second enhanced skill appeared before him.
Skill: Bone Fang (Enhanced)
Level: Level 2 (290/300)
Skill Consumption: 20 Mana

[You have activated the ¡°Rise of the Goblin¡± Instance Scroll!]
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands lit up with the glow of the Instance Scroll, a system message refreshed in front of him.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness came once again.
After regaining consciousness, Dean noticed that something was amiss.
His arms and legs were bound, and he was lifted by a crude pole going right across his middle.
Dean looked around him.
In front of him, behind him, to his left and right, were all Goblins.
Looking at himself, Dean realized a slight change in his attire.
He was dressed up in Goblin Bup Clothes.
Yet his skin color was still his familiar shade.
¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡±
[Scanning. You¡¯ve awakened. Your Instance exploration begins. This is an open-instance, no specific tasks are given. However, your performance will be evaluated upon finishing the Instance. If you face danger, feel free to abandon this challenge at any time.]
Looking at the system notice, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°I can stop it anytime? I¡¯m highly impressed with that!¡± [7]
[Basic information about the Instance will be released, will you ept?]
¡°Yes!¡±
Dean nodded, and a surge of information appears before his eyes.
It contained his basic identity.
Name: Dean McKenzie
Status: Adopted Human Son of Elder of the Little Wild Grass Goblin Tribe
Description: Abandoned by humans since you were young, you were picked up and raised by the Elder of the Little Wild Grass Goblin Tribe. Growing up in the Goblin Tribe as a human, your presence has met resistance. You were able to survive and grow in the Goblin Tribe due to the protection of the Elder of the Little Wild Grass Goblin Tribe. However, as you grew older and the Elder¡¯s intention to make you the Tribe Leader became evident, your situation became increasingly perilous.
Today, just as the Elder of the Little Wild Grass Goblin Tribe has left, you have been sold by the Goblins of the tribe to the Big Weed Goblin Tribe. And now, you are about to be carried into the central za of the Big Weed Goblin Tribe. If nothing unforeseen happens, you will be served as the main course of their banquet!
Just as Dean was reading this information, he felt another wave of weightlessness.
This time, it wasn¡¯t the kind of weightlessness that came from entering an Instance.
It was the feeling of falling from a height, which ended almost too soon.
Because Dean¡¯s butt had alreadynded on the ground.
Truth be told, thending was pretty painful!
Dean had barely recovered from the shock of the pain when a burly arm grabbed him and lifted him overhead.
At the same time, a crude and wild voice boomed into his ears.
¡°Lads, today is my day of taking over as the leader of the Big Weed Tribe! To celebrate this momentous asion, I¡¯ve specially traded for this legendary human from the Little Wild Grass Tribe.
Legend tells us humans are the most delicious food, today you will finally be able to taste it! Every strong warrior of the tribe will get to taste his flesh!¡± ¡°Raaar!¡±
Instantaneously, a deafening cheer echoed from the entire Goblin Tribe.
Dean, who was being hoisted overhead, heard and saw everything clearly.
He felt an itch in his hand.
But just as Dean was about to take action, a suddenmotion came from the outskirts of the Big Weed Goblin Tribe.
Following swiftly after, an old but powerful voice echoed through the Big Weed Goblin Tribe.
¡°Listen up, you weeds of the Big Weed Tribe, if you dare harm a hair on my son, our Little Wild Grass Tribe will not rest until your tribe is annihted!¡±
With this deafening roar¡
A group of small-sized Goblins, led by an elder, stormed into the Big Weed Goblin Tribe.
The Goblin leading the pack was the adoptive father of Dean in the plot of this Instance.
At this very moment, he was leading his trusted whelps from the Little Wild Grass Tribe to rescue Dean.
If the opposing parties were human forces, negotiations might take ce to resolve the issue peacefully.
But these are Goblin Tribes.
Peaceful negotiations?
Such a concept wasn¡¯t even wired into their gic makeup! Although a few Goblins were rational, in these circumstances, who would bother about rationality?
The Goblins from the Big Weed Tribe, angered by this intrusion that interrupted their feast, immediately retaliation. The two groups shed instantly.
In terms of numbers, the few-ten Goblins from the Little Wild Grass Tribe were at a clear disadvantage.
However, this group of Goblins fought with discipline. They quickly formed a force around the Elder of the Little Wild Grass Tribe and charged into the innermost area of the Big Weed Tribe, heading directly for Dean.
The Big Weed Tribe, scrambling to respond, didn¡¯t manage to stop them from invading the central za.
Then, the Goblins of the Little Wild Grass Tribe froze.
They just stood there, stunned.
¡°What are you guys doing? Charge over there and rescue my beloved son and your future leader!¡±
The skinny and aging Goblin was on the verge of panicking.
He urged them frantically, but the Goblins in front of him showed no sign of charging forward, instead, leaving a passage open. Upon witnessing this, the elder¡¯s face turned white.
His beloved son wasn¡¯t dead now, was he?
That was his child of hope. If he were to die ¡
At the thought of this possibility, the elder¡¯s knees started wobbling.
Fortunately, a Goblin was next to him for support, preventing him from falling.
The elder was guided to the front, and his mouth fell open, revealing only a few shaking teeth.
He was dumbfounded.
At the same time, on the other side¡
Therge Goblin who had lifted Dean over his head was now not looking like much of a Goblin anymore.
The whole Goblin was split into two.
The death scene was grisly, to say the least.
Now, the Goblin¡¯s corpse was being hoisted overhead by two Skeletons.
Dean sat smiling atop this Goblin¡¯s corpse, gripping his Skeleton Wand, overlooking the entire Big Weed Goblin Tribe.
Dean was contemting about how he should handle the Goblin Tribe before him now.
Should he let them live, or should he grant them destruction, that is the question.
¡°Although this Instance doesn¡¯t have a specific task, the guide on the Instance Scroll seemed to favor me leading the Goblins out of their savage lifestyles.
If that¡¯s the case!¡±
Dean said, a particr item appearing in his hand.
Name: Low-Level Lord Temte
Description: Upon application, the target will possess a Low-Level Lord Temte!
Dean casually pped the item onto himself.
As he radiated with the glow of the temte, Dean scanned the Goblin Tribe beneath him.
¡°Your leader is dead.. As of today, I am your new leader! Who¡¯s with me, and who¡¯s against?¡±

Within the Goblin Forest instance, in the Mixed Fish Tribe.
Dean McKenzie finished talking.
He made his preparations, ready for the Goblins to either ept or rebel. Unexpectedly, these run-of-the-mill Goblins gave Dean McKenzie a surprise third answer.
With a ¡°whoosh¡±, the entire Goblin tribe suddenly started escaping in unison. Each one unhesitatingly fled the area.
This left Dean McKenzie stunned.
The goblin elder from Strong Grass Tribe reacted quickly: ¡°Quick, stop them!¡± Under the instruction of the old Goblin, the Goblins of the Strong Grass Tribe were about to intercept, but then Dean McKenzie¡¯s voice rang out.
¡°No need, they¡¯ve made their choice, we have to respect their decision!¡±
The elder panicked upon hearing this.
Respect their decision? If respected, these fellows were going to run awaypletely.
The Goblin elder¡¯s anxious sentence was interrupted before being fully spoken. ¡°Since they¡¯ve run, let¡¯s kill them all!¡±
While Dean McKenzie was speaking, the two Skeletons beneath him bolted, Doggy Two s Wolf Tooth Club and Doggy Three¡¯s broadsword were swung, starting the ughter.
As Dean McKenzie raised his hand, a Bone Fang flew out, prating several dozen meters, killing several Goblins.
This burst of action from Dean McKenzie terrified the Goblins of the Mixed Fish Tribe.
The escaping Goblins stopped instantly, trembling as theyy down with their hands in the air.
In the end, out of over three hundred Goblins in the Mixed Fish Tribe, only a few dozen escaped and a few dozen were killed by Dean McKenzie.
The remaining two hundred all chose to surrender.
Almost simultaneously as Dean McKenzie finished this wave, system prompts refreshed before his eyes.
[You have sessfully used the[Low-level Lord Temte], you have obtained the[Goblin Lord]temte!]
[You have obtained the[Goblin Lord Temte], Intimidation against Goblins increased by 1!]
With these two system refreshes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s image in all the Goblins¡¯ eyes changed.
Naturally, there¡¯s a kind of majesty that makes people unwilling to infringe on. Even though the short Goblin elder looked at Dean McKenzie in a daze and with pride, he also did not dare to call out to his son loudly.
At this time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention alsonded on this elder.
He activated the Appraisal Skill, the elder¡¯s attributes appeared before his eyes.
Name: Ashton ckweed (Elite) (Goblin Priest)
Level: 18
Status: Elder of the Strong Grass Goblin Tribe, your adoptive father
Attributes:
Strength: 1, Agility: 1.2, Physique: 1.5, Spirit: 19
Skill: ???
Equipment: ???
The level 1 Appraisal Skill could only identify some basic information.
While Dean McKenzie looked at the Goblin elder, the elder also gazed at him.
Their eyes met, and the emotion revealed by the old man startled Dean McKenzie.
His old eyes filled with surprise and anxiety.
It seemed like he couldn¡¯t believe that the human son he raised was standing before him.
¡®These characters are too lifelike!¡¯
In just one nce, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t view this old man as an emotionless NPC.
After that, Dean McKenzie found out.
Not just this old man, but almost all the Goblins from Strong Grass Tribe, even the ones from Mixed Fish Tribe, were different from the Goblins outside in the Goblin Forest.
Dean McKenzie could clearly feel their emotions.
They can worship,ugh, cry, and fear; they seem no different from real humans.
This made Dean McKenzie look at the goblin corpses scattered on the ground, and for a moment, guilt surged up in his heart.
Scared, Dean McKenzie quickly used extraction on the body of the goblin chief.
[You sessfully used Talent [Extraction] on the [Mixed Grass Goblin] chief, you gained 1 point of strength, and a fragment of a Low-Level Lord.
This system notification brought Dean McKenzie out of his previous state.
But he still felt somewhat flustered.
¡°Isn¡¯t it just a game? Is it really necessary to make it so realistic?¡±
As Dean McKenzie was feeling annoyed, the old man by his side cautiously approached.
¡°Son¡¡±
Dean McKenzie subconsciously got angry: ¡°Who are you calling son? Who are
you taking advantage of? I¡¯m your father!¡±
The little old man was scared silly.
His face turned white, his body trembled, and he looked at Dean McKenzie pitifully and whimpered: ¡°Dad?¡±
Looking at the little old man like this, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but soften his heart.
¡°I didn¡¯t mean it like that, I mean, I¡¯m the chief now, you should still call me chief in front of others, I¡¯ll call you old ck, we call each other by our names!¡± Feeling the kindness in Dean McKenzie¡¯s words, the little old man was overjoyed and pitifully agreed: ¡°Yes, yes, yes, the chief should have the prestige of a chief, I won¡¯t call you that anymore!¡±
¡°You first help me clean up the mess left here, also, arrange for someone who
is familiar with the surroundings to show me around.¡±
Since he didn¡¯t know how to face this sudden old man who imed to be his father.
Especially since he was such a pitiful little old man, Dean McKenzie gave the old man a task to do to get him out of his sight.
The little old man didn¡¯t feel slighted and happily went to work.
Soon, a robust female goblin came sashaying over to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Goggo!¡±
She had a rugged voice that nearly ruptured Dean McKenzie¡¯s eardrums.
At the same time, the information of this female goblin also appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Name: Strong Grass (Elite Temte) (Goblin Warrior Candidate)
Level: 11
Attributes:
Strength: 15, Agility: 5, Physique: 5 points
Skill:???
Equipment:???
Description: The daughter of the chief of the Mixed Grass Goblin tribe, she has grown up with you and vowed to marry only you. She has tried several times to consummate your rtionship.
Ps: If she canplete her inheritance, her quality can be upgraded to Excellent Quality.
Looking at these attributes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face turned somewhat ugly.
¡°I feel like something is off about this game. This kind of plot is truly unnecessary. I¡¯m just here to farm monsters.
There¡¯s no need to arrange an in-game partner for me!¡±
Staring at the female goblin standing before him, filled with adoration and awkwardly feminine, Dean McKenzie is starting to question life itself.
Only because her temte can be upgraded to Excellent Quality that Dean McKenzie decided to nurture her in hopes of obtaining an Excellent Quality fragment, otherwise he would have gotten rid of her.
After mentally reorienting himself, Dean McKenzie finally said to the female goblin, ¡°Let¡¯s go, show me around.¡±
The female goblin¡¯s eyes instantly lighted up with excitement, ¡°Is this what humans call a date¡¡±
¡°Pu!¡±
A Bone Fang zipped by her ear to cut her sentence short.
¡°I don¡¯t consider weak females. I have absolutely no interest in your current, weak state!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, striding forward and leaving the goblin standing there dazedly. She flushed and followed him after a while¡.

Inside the instance!
Goblin Strong Bear, leading Dean McKenzie through the forest.
Goblin Strong Bear was leading, with Dean McKenzie sitting on a wooden stake carried by Doggy Two and Doggy Three behind him.
¡°Boss, the forest we are in has a total of seven Goblin Tribes.
The strength of these seven Goblin Tribes isparable.
The smallest has more than two hundred Goblins, and thergest has more than five hundred.
In total, there should be two to three thousand Goblins.¡±
The leading Goblin Strong Bear was clearing the way and was also reporting back to Dean McKenzie.
Looking at the back of the female Goblin, Dean McKenzie was quite satisfied.
Since he threatened her with Bone Fang earlier, although this female Goblin still looked atrocious, she was no longer as pretentious as before.
What pleased Dean McKenzie even more was that this Goblin really knew the surrounding environment quite well.
She was very familiar with all sorts of situations.
And after she gave up her infatuation, she disyed an unusually high intellectual capacity.
¡°You asked about the Goblin tribes because you want to unify all the Goblin tribes in the forest, right?
This has been your and the Elder¡¯s dream!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Dean McKenzie nodded, his Skeleton Wand sweeping away the branches around him: ¡°Do you have any suggestions?¡±
¡°There should be no problem at all for you to subjugate all the Goblin tribes in
the forest.
As long as you visit these tribes once, they will all bow at your feet.
But I would not rmend you to go and subjugate these tribes right now!¡±
¡°Oh, do tell!¡±
¡°In this forest we live in, we Goblins are at the very bottom of the hierarchy.
Whether it¡¯s a water source or food, they are all leftover from other forces¡¯ distribution.
That¡¯s why there are seven Goblin Tribes, scattering and living in the corners
of the forest.
If you gather all the Goblin tribes under yourmand¡¡±
¡°With the expansion of the Goblin Tribes, other forces¡¯ territories would inevitably be squeezed, resulting in an unavoidable war, right?
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°Then tell me, what kind of forces are there in this forest!¡±
¡°In the eastern part of the forest, by the river, a Swiftwind Wolf Pack resides; in the south, where fruit trees are most abundant, Earth-armored Hogs dwell;
and at the very center of the forest, resides a territory of Strong Bears.¡±
Goblin Strong Bear named the current three forces in the forest one by one.
Upon hearing that these three so-called forces were wild beasts or demonic beasts, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes brightened instantly.
He was afraid they would be some kind of humans.
After all, ording to the nature of this instance, if humans appeared, they would certainly not be soulless dummies.
So, it was more suitable if these were demonic beasts, as there wouldn¡¯t be any mental burden for Dean McKenzie to kill them.
¡°Where are we now?¡±
¡°East of the forest!¡±
¡°Then lead me to the territory of the Swiftwind Wolf Pack for a look!¡±
¡°Now? Boss, that wolf pack is dangerous, wouldn¡¯t it be better if I¡
¡°Are you questioning me?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes swung to the side, and the female Goblin instantly closed her mouth.
¡°Yes!¡±
Soon after, under Strong Bear¡¯s guidance, Dean McKenzie was heading towards the eastern river of the forest.
Throughout the journey, Strong Bear did not try to dissuade Dean McKenzie but tried her best to aplish the task assigned by him.
She led Dean McKenzie cautiously closer to the eastern river of the forest, and in a spot with a rtively high terrain and wide view, she found the Swiftwind wolves for him.
The performance of this journey made Dean McKenzie see her in a new light.
One could say that from the perspective of being a subordinate, this female Goblin was an impable existence.
¡°Done well!¡±
Dean McKenzie was not stingy with his praise.
After patting Strong Bear on her shoulder as encouragement, his gaze fell on the Swiftwind Wolf Pack not far away.
Dean McKenzie noticed that the Swiftwind Wolf Pack in sight was likely a small unit as there were only about twenty or thirty of them.
Dean scanned them, his Appraisal Skill immediately activated.
[You sessfully used the [Appraisal Skill], you gained the attributes of the [Swiftwind Wolf]! ]
Name: Swiftwind Wolf
Temte: Normal
Level: Level 18
Attributes:
Strength: 3, Agility: 4, Physique: 3, Spirit: 5
Skills: Wind de (Level 1)
Swiftwind Assault (Level 1)
Upon seeing these attributes, Dean couldn¡¯t help but be startled.
¡°These monsters are capable of magic!
And even standard monsters tout a whopping 5 points of Spirit?
Seems like my Spirit boost is within grasp!
Hey, over here!¡±
With that, Dean pped his hands and shouted.
At Dean¡¯s shout, the Swiftwind Wolves were immediately drawn to his attention.
Wolves, no, virtually all outdoor species in this world, over ny percent of them, have a strong sense of territory.
Once someone dares to invade their territory, they will retaliate fiercely. As soon as Dean made a sound, the Swiftwind Wolves turned, their eyes instantly turning red.
Twenty or thirty Swiftwind Wolves charged towards Dean and his party.
Dean noticed from the wolves¡¯ charge that they seemed to possess some intelligence; their charge wasn¡¯t a mindless attack.
It was somewhat tactical.
Taking on packaging tactics, they ensured the formation provided no chance for escape beforeunching an attack.
But it served no purpose under the overwhelming strength of Dean¡¯s party.
All strategies were fruitless.
Dean didn¡¯t even need to lift a finger; just casting [Bone Shield] was enough for Doggy Two and Doggy Three to resolve the fight.
Summing it up, the wolves circled in, only to be disrupted by Doggy Two and Doggy Three.
In less than a minute, out of the thirty Swiftwind Wolves, only a few escaped, leaving behind about twenty bodies.
Dean only acted once during the entire encounter, and that was when therge Swiftwind Wolf at the head tried to flee.
Deanunched a 65-metre long-range Bone Fang, sting it away.
[You¡¯ve sessfully killed the [Elite Swiftwind Wolf] (Level 20), you gamed 1500 experience points!]
[Your level is upgraded to Level 12, your attributes have increased!]
[Spirit: 16.2-17-2, Mana: 162-172]
[Your Doggy Three has leveled up to Level 9, its attributes have increased!]
[Strength: 13-2-14, Agility: 6.9-73,
Physique: 3-5-3-9, Spirit Power: 11-15]
[You sessfully used Extraction on the [Swiftwind Wolf], gained 0.1 Strength and 0.2 Spirit!]
[You sessfully used Extraction on the [Elite Swiftwind Wolf], gained 1 Spirit and an Elite Temte Fragment!]
[You spent 9 Silver Coins and 800 Copper Coins to increase your Spirit attribute by 4-91¨C ]
[Your Spirit rating rose to 22.1, and your maximum Mana increased to 221!] [You spent 4 Silver Coins to increase Doggy Two¡¯s Strength by 2, bringing his Strength to 17.7!]
After that wave of attack, Dean experienced a surge in his attributes.
Dean was very pleased.
¡°If everything goes as nned, I can increase my Spirit by another 10 points.. If I take down this Swiftwind Wolf Pack, my Spiritual Power should be able to reach 32!¡±
Chapter 45 - 45: 045 Bone Shield Upgrade
Chapter 45: 045 Bone Shield Upgrade
Trantor: 549690339
Inside the Goblin Dungeon.
¡°Boss, we must leave here as soon as possible, arge pack of wolves will being soon!¡±
Goblin Da Li suggested to Dean McKenzie immediately.
However, Dean McKenzie did not adopt this suggestion.
He was nning to use this ce to max out his and his two dogs¡¯ attribute points.
But, McKenzie also knew that if he didn¡¯t deal with all the Swiftwind Wolves, this ce would soon be surrounded by them.
For this, McKenzie had his own countermeasures.
McKenzie had just given it a go and found out that the Gate of Bone could also be used in this dungeon.
That is to say, he could also enter the Land of Bone in this dungeon.
However, when McKenzie entered, the Gate of Bone could not be withdrawn.
Otherwise, his connection with this dungeon would be cut off, and he would have to exit the dungeon.
Of course, this wasn¡¯t a major issue.
McKenzie, in no time, summoned the Gate of Bone.
He brought along his two dogs, and the dumbfounded Da Li, into the Land of Bone.
¡°Doggy Two, Doggy Three, you guys keep an eye on the gates, if the wolf pack tries to damage the gate, stop them!¡±
After quickly giving the orders to his two subordinates, McKenzie didn¡¯t bother about the stunned Da Li and he went straight into a meditative state to recover his mana.
¡°Eh!¡±
As soon as he started meditating, Dean noticed that his meditation efficiency seemed much higher in the Land of Bone than outside.
With 661 mana points, Dean McKenzie, after consuming a mana potion, amazingly restored all his mana in just over half an hour.
This efficiency was threefoldpared with outside.
¡°Is it because this secret realm currently belongs to me? Or is it because of my profession?¡±
Dean was uncertain of the reasons.
But whatever the reason, the current situation was excellent news for Dean.
¡°In this way, I can finish off the wolf pack faster!
Come again!¡±
After that, Dean with Doggy Two once again charged out from the Gate of Bone.
Surrounding him were a group of Swiftwind Wolves who hade for revenge. As soon as Dean showed up, he was surrounded by the pack.
This wolf pack was muchrger than the previous one, but unfortunately, they were still of no match.
Doggy Two and Doggy Three burst into action, and the wolf pack was defeated in less than two minutes. Dean joined in the charge and bagged
around thirty Swiftwind Wolves.
The Elite Swiftwind Wolf was also captured by Dean, its limbs were broken and was sent into the Land of Bone.
Now, Dean habitually stored elite monsters.
As for the remaining thirty or so Swiftwind Wolves, Dean extracted all of them and gained 6 Spirit and 4 Strength, which were shared between him and Doggy Two.
Afterpleting this wave, Dean returned to the Land of Bone to recover his mana.
Half an hourter, Dean McKenzie stepped out again to take action for the third time.
The third time was just as sessful for Dean.
Dean gained 4 Spirit, and Doggy Two gained 4 Strength.
By now, Dean¡¯s Spirit and Doggy Two¡¯s Strength had reached a terrifying 32.1 and 25.7 respectively.
And all of this took less than two hours.
Looking at his attribute panel, Dean felt as if he was dreaming.
However, the dream pretty much ended here.
[Your attribute distribution has temporarily reached the limit. Please elevate your personal level to level 21, or your talent level to level 2!]
[The target you granted attributes to¡]
Dean and Doggy Two¡¯s attributes could temporarily not be increased anymore.
But, Dean and Doggy Two¡¯s current attributes were good enough!
¡°Now that my attributes are all improved, I should finally deal with that pack of wolves. Wait¡¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s words came to an abrupt stop as he looked at the Gate of Bone, raising an eyebrow, ¡°They¡¯re eyeing the Gate of Bone!¡±
At this moment, just outside the Gate of Bone.
Swarming around it were hundreds, at least, of Swiftwind Wolves.
Clearly, they had noticed something was off about this gate.
¡°Since they¡¯ve targeted it, what¡¯s the point of talking? Let¡¯s fight!¡±
From within the Gate of Bone, Dean McKenzie waved his hand and the Gate of Bone opened, releasing a stream of skeletons.
The sudden opening of the Gate of Bone, coupled with the appearing skeletons, gave the surrounding Swiftwind Wolves a scare.
They retreated one after the other!
¡°Awoooo!¡±
Then, from behind the pack, a wolf howl rang out.
The sudden howl drastically changed the wolves¡¯ morale.
The retreating wolves abruptly stopped. The forward wolves opened their mouths and released twenty or thirty green gusts of wind that hit the skeletons, taking out a dozen or so instantly.
This was due to the skeletons being densely packed.
The wolves acted systematically, the first wave retreated right after attacking and the next came forward, releasing another wave of wind des.
Dean quickly figured out the situation.
After a few rounds like this, for every skeleton he sent out, a group would die. He quickly threw up the Bone Shield.
Through the Gate of Bone, he threw Bone Shields over his skeletons one by one.
Now, Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power was as high as 32.1. The activated Bone Shield defense was at the terrifying level of 123.2.
This defense could easily block several wind des.
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeletons received the Bone Shield one by one, their survival ability greatly improved.
But there was also a problem. He couldn¡¯t send out too many skeletons as he wouldn¡¯t be able to manage them.
This was somewhat awkward.
Just as Dean McKenzie was thinking of a way to break this deadlock, he noticed his Bone Shield skill¡¯s proficiency was rapidly increasing during this process.
This caused Dean to change his mind.
¡°Such a good chance to grind skill proficiency doesn¡¯te often. Since there¡¯s no danger, why not try to raise the skill proficiency to level 3?¡±
In order to grind skill proficiency, Dean even gave up many skeletons, focusing only on protecting two skeletons, which in turn defended the Gate of Bone.
However, even with only two skeletons, Dean had to expend 50 points of mana every minute.
With Dean¡¯s current mana pool of 731, he could only sustain this for about ten minutes.
Thus, Dean was chugging potions, meditating, and casting Bone Shield all at once.
Lucky it was Dean. Anyone else would not have been able to manage suchplex multitasking.
By this method, Dean managed to level up his Bone Shield skill to level 2 in just about ten minutes.
[Your skill [Bone Shield) has leveled up to level 2!]
Skill: Bone Shield (Enhanced)
Level: 2 (0/200)
Consumption: 22 points
Invocation: Forge the indestructible shield with the Power of Death
Effect: Summon a bone shield with a defensive value of 2.2 times spirit plus 18, duration of 70 seconds
Invisible Shield: Your bones will maintain a shield with a defense value of 18. If shattered, it will be restored within 30 minutes.
Skill Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 2) (Increases skill defense passively by 100% (maximum increase of 50)) (This effect is not applied to Invisible Shield)
The skill¡¯s consumption decreased by 3 mana points, multiplied by 2 is now multiplied by 2.2, the Invisible Shield increased from 9 to 18 points.
This level up immediately increased Dean¡¯s Bone Shield defense by 15 points.
Of course, the additional 15 points of defense was not important, what mattered was that the skill was now one step closer to the next level of enhancement¡.
Chapter 46 - 46: 046 Skill’Beast Intuition
Chapter 46: 046 Skill¡¯Beast Intuition
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie initially nned to seize this opportunity to directly upgrade the [Bone Shield] to level 3-
Butter he realized that his idea was somewhat unrealistic.
For one, the mana of the wolf pack was not infinite.
Secondly, they were not emotionless output machines.
After half an hour of unsessful attempts, the wolves¡¯ assault stopped.
This made Dean aware that this was as far as he could advance his Bone Shield skill.
Dean checked his attribute board.
[Bone Shield] (Level 2) (125/300)
¡°A third of the way there, that¡¯s pretty good!
The remaining two-thirds, even without excellent practice partners, should be achievable in a few days.¡±
Then, Dean turned his gaze toward the wolf pack across from him.
¡°Since that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s time to deal with this wolf pack!
As he spoke, Dean focused his gaze on one wolf in the pack.
He had alreadyunched his Appraisal Skill by the time his gaze focused.
[Your use of the [Appraisal Skill] was sessful, gaining the basic attributes of the target!]
Name: Swiftwind Wolf King
Temte: Elite
Level: 20
Attributes:
Strength: 6, Agility:6, Physique:/,, Spiricio
Skills: Wind de (Level 2) ,Swiftwind Assault (Level 2) ,Beast
Intuition (Level 1) ,Wolf Pack Command (Level 1)
Seeing the temte of the Wolf King, Dean couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.
¡°I thought it would be an excellent temte. I didn¡¯t expect it to be just an elite temte in the end. Disappointing!¡±
While Dean was looking down on the Wolf King¡¯s elite temte, the Wolf King across him was warily looking in his direction.
Its Level 1 Beast Intuition made it keenly aware of Dean¡¯s gaze on it.
Feeling a bit uneasy, it subconsciously hid behind the wolf pack.
Only when it hid about forty or fifty meters away from the Gate of Bone and behind its underlings did the Wolf King felt a bit secure.
This distance, with so many minions protecting it, should be safe¡
¡°Puff!¡±
Almost at the same moment when the Wolf King felt safe, a Bone Fang prated through three or four of its underlings standing in front of it, urately hitting its chest!
What is 50 pration?
50 pration means, within range, any defense below 50 is null and void.
As long as you¡¯re within range, no matter where you hide, if your defense doesn¡¯t exceed 50, it¡¯s useless!
Even if the defense exceeds 50, it can still inflict at least 50 damage!
Wolf King did not know this, otherwise, it would not have been hit by Dean to begin with.
But Dean¡¯s attack did not kill the Wolf King outright.
The Wolf King was still alive, barely breathing.
This was the result of Dean¡¯s restraint. After all, if the Wolf King died, the entire wolf pack wouldpletely copse.
At that point, where would Dean go to hunt this swarm of Swiftwind Wolves?
This was the optimal solution for Dean.
The Wolf King was seriously injured and the wolves lostmand.
But they didn¡¯t copse directly, instead, they stood guard around the Wolf
King for his protection.
This gave Dean a great chance to deal with the wolf pack.
¡°Go!¡±
Dean raised his hand and gave Bone Shields to Doggy Two, Doggy Three, and
Strong Grass, then sent them charging into the wolf pack.
The trio, with the Bone Shield, wreaked havoc in the wolf pack.
The one that stood out the most was Doggy Two.
With his base strength reaching a high of 25.7 and Goblin Fury, his base attack directly reached 40 points.
just one swing of the his Wolf Tooth Club would knock out several Swiftwind Wolves.
Aside from Doggy Two, Strong Grass also performed stunningly.
Her attacks were extremely ferocious, taking a one-man-army route, and it appeared her attacks even had a ssh damage effect.
With one swing of her club, all the surrounding Swiftwind Wolves were injured. Compared with these two, Doggy Three seemed ordinary, but if you looked carefully, you¡¯d notice his efficiency was no worse than Doggy Two¡¯s.
But in terms of efficiency, Dean himself was the highest.
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s enhanced Bone Fang now released a barrage of attacks.
Within a straight line of 65 meters, the Wolf King couldn¡¯t withstand it! Under their frenzied harvesting, the battle ended in less than five minutes. In the end, the wolf pack left nearly three hundred corpses behind, with only a few dozens managing to escape.
After the fight, Dean McKenzie rushed over to check on the Wolf King. Upon finding out that the Wolf King was on itsst breath, and wouldn¡¯tst long even if it was thrown into the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie brutally killed the three Elite wolves he had in the Land of Bone.
[You killed an [Elite Swiftwind Wolf] and gained 1200 experience points!] [You killed the [Swiftwind Wolf King] and gained 2000 experience points!] [Your level has increased to level 13!]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Two¡¯s level has increased to level 12!]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Three¡¯s level has increased to level 11!]
After a round, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level jumped straight to level 13, bringing him closer to the grant quota for level 15.
Next, Dean McKenzie extracted all the Elite monsters from the wolf pack.
After this round, his Elite Temte Fragments increased to 15 pieces.
He gave all the attribute points to Doggy Three, sticking to the tactic of majorly enhancing strength, raising Doggy Three¡¯s strength to 24.8!
This attribute was quite impressive, being 10 points stronger than Bell Be s Rare Quality at level 8.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t feel much now.
Yeah, ever since Bone Fang was enhanced, he didn¡¯t have strong feelings towards an increase in attribute points in tens.
After all, in front of him right now, Doggy Three with a strength of 1 and Doggy Two with strength 20 really didn¡¯t have that big of a difference.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know what the strength of a One-turn profession was like, but he felt that for him right now, those under One-turn were probably all one-hit Bone Fang matters.
It was indeed boring to grind monsters with powerful skills.
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie started the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
Picking up the light spots.
The Swiftwind Wolf Pack contributed nearly 50 light spots to Dean McKenzie. After opening them all, his gold count reached a new high of 7 Gold and 12 Silver.
Moreover, there were also three pieces of equipment and one skill book Among them was one piece of ck Iron Equipment.
Unfortunately, that piece of ck Iron Equipment was a Magic Wand, a Wind Magic Wand at that, which Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t use.
The remaining two pieces of equipment and the skill book were quite handy.
Equipment: Swiftwind Boots
Equipment level: Level 20
Equipment Requirement: Agility 6
Effect 1: Increase speed by 10% (Effective before level 20)
Effect 2: Increase agility by 3 points.
Equipment: Swiftwind Sword

Skill Book: Beast Intuition
Skill Category: Universal Skill Description: Upon use can activate the Beast Intuition skill for the target.
Dean McKenzie gave the equipment to Doggy Three, as for Beast Intuition, Dean McKenzie hesitated for a moment, but eventually used it on himself. With great difficulty, a universal skill hade along. If he could use it, he definitely should.
As for whether a Mage needed the Intuition of a Beast, Dean McKenzie felt that it didn¡¯t need to be considered.
[You used the Skill Book [Beast Intuition] sessfully, you have activated the Skill [Beast Intuition]!]

Chapter 47 - 47: 047 What I Want
Chapter 47: 047 What I Want
Trantor: 549690339
in terms of clearing the battlefield, Gal was noticeably more experienced than
Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie only picked up the leftovers.
Gal even wanted the Swiftwind Wolf bodies that littered the ground.
In her words, these were all good things.
The meat could be eaten, the fur could be used for clothing, and the bones could be used for making soup or equipment.
So, she begged Dean McKenzie to open the Gate of Bone, stuffing hundreds of
Swiftwind Wolf corpses inside.
Once that was done, she led Dean McKenzie to track down the Swiftwind Wolf
den.
In this regard, Gal proved to be quitepetent.
In less than an hour, she had led Dean McKenzie to the Swiftwind Wolf den, located in a rtively secluded valley.
Here, Dean McKenzie obtained another prize from dealing with the Swiftwind
Wolf Pack.
Inside the Swiftwind Wolf¡¯s valley, there were dozens of wolf pups.
They were small like puppies, but still exhibited their wild nature, baring their teeth aggressively at Dean McKenzie.
The moment Gal saw them, she wanted to kill them all.
But Dean McKenzie stopped her.
¡°Let¡¯s keep them. We might be able to tame themter. Abination of Goblins and wolves doesn¡¯t sound too bad!
Although Gal didn¡¯t understand what Dean McKenzie was saying, she didn¡¯t oppose him.
After Dean McKenzie had sent all the wolf pups into the Land of Bone, he looked around the valley and asked, ¡°Is there anything else in this den besides these wolf pups?¡±
¡°Swiftwind Wolf dens usually contain some herbs. I¡¯ve located them, here!¡±
Very nimbly, Gal lifted a hidden patch of earth in the valley, revealing a storage
space.
inside that space, Dean McKenzie saw an abundance of two types of herbs and a ck Iron Treasure Chest.
Name: Blood Qi Grass
Level: 20
Quality: Ordinary
Description: Consuming it directly can heal a physique injury of 5 points or less. If you have knowledge of alchemy, you can try to turn it into a potion.
Name: Little Mana Grass
Level: 20
Quality: Premium
Description: Consuming it directly can recover 200 mana in 3 minutes. If you have knowledge of alchemy, you can also try to turn it into a potion.
Looking at these two types of herbs, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow.
These were all good stuff, especially the Little Mana Grass. Each one was basically equivalent to 2 Mana Potions.
Moreover, at this time, Gal brought him another piece of good news. ¡°Chief, Grandpa Ashton ckweed knows how to concoct potions. We should bring these herbs back to him!
¡°What did you say?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°The old man knows how to make potions?¡±
This was undoubtedly great news for him.
Although he had given up on nurturing a money-making talent through Talent Development, he was still thrilled at the chance to learn alchemy.
Even if he couldn¡¯t be a Pharmacist, there was a chance, right?
The profession of Pharmacist was one of the most lucrative side-jobs one could have.
Therefore, after opening the ck Iron Treasure Chest, Dean McKenzie quickly returned to the Goblin Tribe.
On his way back, Dean McKenzie checked the gains from opening the ck
Iron Treasure Chest.
One Gold Coin and a Treasure Chest Fragment.
Name: Treasure Chest Fragment (One-third)
Description: Combine with the other two-thirds to form aplete treasure chest, guaranteed to contain a piece of professional equipment.
Looking at this attribute, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but smirk.
¡°A treasure chest fragment from a treasure chest, is it trying to y Russian Dolls with me?¡±
Despite his sarcastic remarks, Dean carefully stored the treasure chest fragment away.
Subsequently, he returned to the overgrown Goblin Tribe with Big Power. During the few hours Dean was gone, the Goblin Tribe had changed drastically. The bodies that were originally scattered everywhere had been cleaned up, and over two hundred trembling goblins had been mobilized to work in the tribe.
Some were repairing the structures damaged during the fight.
Others were treating the injured or cooking. The entire tribe was buzzing with activity.
The busiest among them was the little old goblin named Ashton ckweed. This goblin, already in his 30s, is usually fighting for breath after only a few steps. However, he was running around the tribe giving orders, full of vigor. If you didn¡¯t know better, you¡¯d think he was a spry young man of seven or eight years old.
¡°Ch¡ Chief!¡±
The elder goblin¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Dean and Big Power return. He quickly reached for Dean.
¡°It¡¯s perfect timing, dinner¡¯s already ready to be served!
We have meat today!
Little Grass, quickly, serve the Chief some high-quality meat first!¡±
¡°Yes, sir!¡±
in just a short while, a goblin toddler, only two or three years old, was holding arge wooden bowl filled with meat soup, running towards Dean, drool dripping from his mouth.
¡°Chief, this is for you!
The food today is delicious!¡±
Looking at the small goblin in front of him who was holding back his drool but eagerly handing over the wooden bowl, Dean smiled: ¡°Really, let me see what you¡¯ve cooked today¡¡±
Dean¡¯s words trailed off as he looked into the bowl.
He instinctively reached out to block his mouth, but it was toote to stall the wave of nausea. It was as if he was about to vomit out his galldder.
After a long while, he finally regained hisposure.
Slowly raising his head, his expression was now cold as he looked at the goblins, his voice barely a whisper: ¡°You eat this?¡±
The sudden change in Dean¡¯s tone and demeanor triggered the greatest leader¡¯s intimidation among the goblins. The two closest goblins trembled under the cold gaze, their faces full of confusion.
They couldn¡¯t understand why Dean would suddenly get angry. Meanwhile, Dean thought back to his initial arrival in this instance, and the situation he was facing then.
Seeing these goblins, delighted by the scent of cooking meat, his disgust toward them multiplied instantly. There was even a fleeting desire to exterminate this whole tribe of goblins.
However, this impulse ceased when he looked at the trembling elder goblin and the young one.
At the same time, he recalled the description of this instance.
¡öAlthough they are a group of creatures who live by feeding on raw flesh and blood in the forest, if someone could ignite the spark of civilization, could they bloom their own colors?¡¯
So, here¡¯s the predicament.
Should Dean destroy this tribe of goblins, treating this instance as merely a monster farming zone?
Or should he attempt to do something, make a change?
Nearly instantaneously, Dean made up his mind. He took the wooden bowl from the young goblin and as it rxed, he poured the soup onto the ground.
Simultaneously, Dean unleashed a Bone Fang attack that shattered the boiling stone pot in the center of the Goblin Tribe.
Dean¡¯s sudden action caused a stir among the goblins, who showed signs of going berserk again.
However, Dean didn¡¯t care. He walked to the center of the square, opened the Gate of Bone, and pulled out the corpses of the Swiftwind Wolves that Big Power had collected one by one.
Then, standing before the stunned crowd of goblins, he spoke word for word, ¡°I don¡¯t care, and I don¡¯t want to know, what you were like before I got here.
What 1 cannot ept is that after I leave, you remain the same as you are now. This instance, if I¡¯vee and seen it, then I¡¯ll attempt to change it!
I don¡¯t care if the oue is what you want.. It must be what I desire!¡±
Chapter 48 - 48: 048 Practice Skills
Chapter 48: 048 Practice Skills
Trantor: 549690339 1
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s firm stance, a firepletely burnt the Goblin Tribe in
the wild weeds.
Then, all the goblins of the tribe migrated to a valley in the eastern part of the forest, where the Swiftwind Wolf¡¯s den was located.
No goblin dared to oppose Dean McKenzie¡¯s decision.
On the one hand, it was because of the Swiftwind Wolf corpse that Dean threw out earlier, which seemed as big as a small hill.
On the other hand, the goblins who opposed had been permanently left in the
wild weeds tribe.
After several hours of migration, hundreds of goblins came to the valley.
After arriving in the valley, Dean brought out the Swiftwind Wolf again and handed it over to the old goblin.
Then, hundreds of goblins got busy again.
Those who were tasked with handling the Swiftwind Wolf dealt with the Swiftwind Wolf, those who gathered firewood collected firewood, and those who set up earth stoves set up earth stoves.
Furthermore, because all the eating utensils of the wild weeds tribe had been
burned, the goblins had to remake pots and pans.
In this aspect, Doggy Two and Doggy Three were a great help.
Relying on their powerful strength attribute, and Dean¡¯s micro-control, they managed to make a few huge stone pots in half an hour.
After the stone pots were made, the old goblin painfully cooked the first meal
with 10 Swiftwind Wolves.
Then, the aroma of meat spread throughout the valley.
With the scent of meat drifting in the valley, every goblin present in the valley
had expectation written all over their faces.
When the meat soup was served to all goblins, their faces showed expressions
of happiness.
Although the soup they ate was mixed with a lot of wild weeds and wild vegetables, which in Dean¡¯s eyes was no different from pig food, but from their perspective, it was equivalent to delicacies.
Dean, who was at the valley, watched the scene in front of him.
He realized that in order to change these goblins, the first fundamental step was to ensure that these goblins had material security that could guarantee their lives.
Only when they are not hungry, can conscience be developed.
Values of propriety, justice, integrity and decency could only then be
cultivated.
¡°How do you usually get food?¡±
With an idea in mind, Dean, holding a wooden bowl, drank a mouthful of soup and asked the old goblin and Strength.
¡°Mostly by gathering wild vegetables and fruits, sometimes we are lucky to
catch a prey.¡±
Strength preemptively answered.
¡°Haven¡¯t you ever thought of farming and breeding?
¡°What?¡±
The old goblin and Strength cast puzzled looks.
Obviously, they have no clue what farming is.
Helplessly, Dean could only rub his forehead, organize his words and exin to them in a way they could understand: ¡°For instance, when you gather food, didn¡¯t you think about nting the seeds of delicious and fulfilling nts withrge yield? This way you don¡¯t have to travel far to gather food and you could always have food to eat.
Also, when you hunt, if there¡¯s spare meat or young cubs, you can raise them until they grow up before eating!¡±
Dean¡¯s description was quite moving to say the least.
The old goblin and Strength listened for long but still didn¡¯t understand.
Why would they want to nt seeds? How would nting seeds provide them food? And how could there be a situation where there was too much hunted meat that they could not finish? They sometimes don¡¯t even have enough to eat, why should they raise a cub?
These two goblins made Dean feel like his head was spinning.
After exchanging nces with them, and seeing their clearly naively foolish
eyes, Dean gave up on exnation.
¡°Does the tribe have any wild fruits and vegetables? Bring all the wild fruits and vegetables you have to me!¡±
Dean wanted to screen and see if there were any suitable nts to cultivate.
Surprisingly, there were!
Not long after, the old goblin had the goblins bring arge number of wild fruits and vegetables to him.
Dean saw something a bit familiar among them and instinctively used the Appraisal Skill.
Name: Wild Corn
Level: Level 5
Description: Wild corn, with considerable yield, tastes good and is filling.
It takes about two months to mature from sowing.
¡°There¡¯s actually this thing. Where do you gather this? Never mind, it¡¯s not important. Tomorrow, you should send a group of goblins to gather this in full force.
Then send another group of goblins to find an open area near the stream along the valley to clear out a piece of farnd!¡±
Dean didn¡¯t know how long he could stay in this instance, but since he decided to do something, he would have to start quickly.
On the second day, under Dean¡¯s order, the goblins in the valley moved under themand of Ashton ckweed.
The task of gathering wild corn was simple.
Most of the goblins recognized wild corn, so they could just be asked to go find
it.
For the clearing of the farnd, Ashton ckweed had difficulties.
in the end, Dean himself had to personally arrive at the scene andmand the clearing of the farnd.
Dean¡¯s home before he crossed over was in the countryside, he grew up with his grandparents and had nted corn before.
He knew how to nt this corn.
Under Dean¡¯s guidance, the operation of clearing the cornfield was progressing at a swift pace.
After carrying out the guidance work, instead of leaving, Dean didn¡¯t leave the site of operations and gathered all elite goblins of the Goblin Tribe.
Currently, excluding the old goblin, there were seven elite goblins in the Goblin Tribe.
All of them were gathered by Dean.
When they were gathered, they thought that Dean was preparing to start a fight against a Goblin Tribe or a group of beasts.
It was only until they gathered that they discovered they were gathered solely because Dean wanted to train his skills.
After Dean gathered the goblins, he summoned two pale skeletons from the Land of Bone and equipped them with shields and let these elite goblins practice with them.
This practice made these elite goblins doubt their lives.
Even though there were only two skeletons not exceeding Level 5, they tried their hardest but couldn¡¯t break their defense once the shields were on.
Just when they were about to break the shield, Dean raised his hand and another new Bone Shield was equipped.
Two Pale Skeletons VS Seven Elite Goblins.
After a day, they ended in a draw.
The skeletons didn¡¯t even pant after the fight, while the seven elite goblins werepletely exhausted.
After a day, Dean¡¯s Bone Shield made great progress.
On one hand, it was because of the efforts of these goblins, on the other hand, it was because of Dean¡¯s own development of Bone Shield.
While using the skill, Dean wasn¡¯t simply using it mechanically. He tried to understand Bone Shield, even attempted to restore the use of Bone Shield before it was enhanced.
Although he didn¡¯t attack, his proficiency also increased by 50 points after the day.
If he went by this progress, after three or four more days Dean¡¯s [Bone Shield] would be able to level up to Level 3-
¡°Once the [Bone Shield] is Level 3, it can be considered for a second enhancement.
ording to Strength¡¯s information, the Earth-armored Hogs are beasts specializing in defense, they should be able to further enhance the [Bone Shield] skill.¡±
Now that the defence of Bone Shield has reached 138, if it is raised to Level 3 and then enhanced¡
Dean reckoned that even professionals of One-turn might not break his defense!
Chapter 49 - 49: 049 Meditation Level 3
Chapter 49: 049 Meditation Level 3
Trantor: 549690339
For the next few days, Dean McKenzie stayed in the Swiftwind Wolf valley and did not venture out.
During the day, while improving his proficiency with his ¡°Bone Shield¡± skill, he also took the opportunity to level up his ¡°Meditation.¡±
In the evenings, Dean¡¯s energy remained high, even when the seven elite goblins were too exhausted to move.
To ensure that the seven elite goblins would be ready for the next day¡¯s training, Dean made sure they had a hearty meat soup and then made them rest early.
He, on the other hand, was busy with his next task.
Dean¡¯s night time activities were well-nned.
Mostly two things.
One was brewing potions with the old goblin.
Speaking of this, Dean couldn¡¯t begin to express his feelings.
Initially, he thought the old goblin was enlightened in potion brewing.
But after learning from him, Dean realized that the old goblin¡¯s brew was purely based on experience, with no techniques to speak of.
What ingredients were added depended entirely on the herbs avable at hand.
When to add them was controlled solely by the old goblin.
Dean watched as the old goblin seemed to have no control over the brewing, sometimes even falling asleep.
Even so, the old goblin was still able to produce potions.
Although the potions typically had side effects like diarrhea and dizziness, they were mostly effective. Sometimes they even came out pretty good, making Dean have a love-hate rtionship with the old goblin¡¯s potions.
From Dean¡¯s perspective, he followed the old goblin¡¯s operations exactly, even performing better than the old goblin himself. But he just couldn¡¯t brew any potions.
Eventually, Dean gave up on brewing his potions and just assisted the old goblin at night, hoping to induce the ¡°Pharmacist¡± talent. He also told the young goblins stories and taught them to read and write while making them some chicken soup.
Yes, every evening Dean gathered the young goblins in the tribe.
He knew very well that if he wanted to truly change the goblins, he should pin his hopes on the young goblins.
Young ones of any race naturally embodied characteristics like innocence, beauty, and hope.
The goblin youngsters were no exception.
At leastpared to the grown goblins, Dean saw much more hope in these youngsters.
Dean was not sure how long he would stay in this dungeon.
What he could do was leave behind some seeds of civilization before he left.
At first, the young goblins felt ufortable and feared Dean. But over a few days, they became lively around him.
At the same time, they yearned for the civilized world that Dean depicted for them.
¡°Chief, is it true that people can fly in the sky?¡±
¡°Chief, are there really houses that big?¡±
¡°Chief, can male goblins really be together?¡±
¡°Chief, is the food really that delicious?¡±
Dean rubbed the little ones¡¯ heads.
¡°Yes, the outside world is far more wonderful than you can even imagine!
I hope that one day you can leave here and see the vast world outside.
Instead of being trapped in the forest forever.
Of course, you have another choice, that is to change your current environment with your own hands, making the world you live in even better!
Also, the one who asked about goblins¡¯ affair, stand up!¡±
Most of the young goblins in front of Dean didn¡¯t understand his words.
They were staring at him with innocent and naive eyes.
However, Strong Bear, who was tired from a full day¡¯s work but insisted on helping out, was deep in thought.
Listening to Dean¡¯s words while looking at his back.
It seemed that for the first time, she understood what Dean wanted to do. Her eyes were shining brightly.
On Dean¡¯s fourth day in the dungeon.
The Swiftwind Wolf valley had already taken on a new look.
In the valley, houses had been built, and a za had been cleared in the middle.
In the valley, a dozen young goblins were ying with thest few, friendlier wolf cubs.
Outside the valley, on the t ground by the stream, arge field had been roughly plowed. Corn seeds had already been sown, some of which had even sprouted.
The entire tribe began to show some signs of civilization.
Meanwhile, Dean also reaped benefits on the fourth day.
[Your skill ¡°Bone Shield¡± (Enhanced) has been upgraded to level 3!]
[Your skill ¡°Meditation¡± has been upgraded to level 3!]
Skill: Meditation
Level: 3 (0/1000)
Effect: Rapid mana recovery in a meditative state.
Current Mana Recovery Speed: 4 points/minute
Skill: Bone Shield (Enhanced)
Level: 3 (0/5000)
Cost: 20 points
Incantation: Forge an unbreakable shield with the power of death
Effect: Summons a bone shield with defense equal to 2.4 times Spirit plus 27,sts for 70 seconds
Invisible Shield: Your bones will constantly create an invisible shield with a defense value of 27, which will regenerate in 30 minutes if destroyed.
Skill Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 2) (Passive skill defense increased by one hundred percent (capped at 50%)) (This effect does not apply to the Invisible Shield)
Both skills were upgraded to level 3.
Of course, the increase in Meditation was just a secondary gain, only augmenting mana recovery efficiency.
The main thing was the upgrade of ¡°Bone Shield¡±.
The level 3 Bone Shield could be enhanced twice.
¡°Finally, Bone Shield is at level 3,1 can get busy now!
Strong Bear, bring people, let¡¯s go for a walk!¡±
In the past few days, Dean deliberately didn¡¯t address the Goblin Tribe, didn¡¯t deal with the ¡°Strong Bear¡± and the ¡°Earth-Armored Hog¡±, and didn¡¯t level up. He was waiting for today.
Next, Dean nned to use the Strong Bear, the Earth-Armored Hog, and the disobedient goblins as fodder to enhance the ¡°Bone Shield¡±.
¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to what kind of Bone Shield I can enhance!¡±
Then, led by Strong Bear, Dean went to visit each of the goblin tribes in the forest.
He sincerely invited these tribes to join his tribe and be his people.
Of course, the tribes wouldn¡¯t just agree to Dean¡¯s request.
Especially the original elders, leaders, and elite goblins who held power in their tribes.
They arrogantly believed that they wouldn¡¯t just submit because Dean said so.
What qualifications did a mere human have to rule over them?
Usually, at this point, Dean would give them a Bone Fang.
Then, these goblins would reflect on their attitude in the Land of Bone.. Were they too arrogant? Were they too loud?
Chapter 50 - 50: 050 Excellent Template BOSS
Chapter 50: 050 Excellent Temte BOSS
Trantor: 549690339
By using the Land of Bone as a transit station, Dean McKenzie managed to bring all the goblins from the seven tribes in the forest to Swiftwind Valley in just under two days.
However, when Dean McKenzie delivered all the goblins to Swiftwind Valley, an unexpected system prompt appeared.
[Detected that the number of goblins under your rule exceeds 1000, reaching the scale of a small territory. Your Low-level Lord Temte is activated. You have obtained a spot to enhance a subordinate!]
This was an unexpected gain for Dean McKenzie.
He didn¡¯t expect the Lord Temte to have such an effect.
However, surprises aside, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t particrly excited. After all, he had no intention of enhancing the goblins for the time being.
His focus was still on the second enhancement of the [Bone Shield], The reason for going through all the trouble to subjugate the seven goblin tribes was for this purpose.
Although Dean McKenzie let all the ordinary goblins out after returning to Swiftwind Valley, he didn¡¯t let any of the Elite goblins go.
One reason was that these goblins were an unstable factor for the newly established [Swiftwind Tribe],
Keeping them wouldn¡¯t help unite the tribe.
Secondly, and most importantly, Dean McKenzie nned to use them as a resource for the second enhancement of the [Bone Shield],
¡°There are six tribes, with each tribe having around ten to fifteen Elite goblins, or four to five at the least. All in all, there are 52 Elite goblins.¡±
All of these 52 were Elite Monsters above level 15.
If they were all taken care of at once, it should bring Dean McKenzie and the two dogs up to level 15.
And these 52 essence fragments should be enough to enhance the [Bone Hardening] effect of the [Bone Shield] to level 3, or possibly even to level 4. In other words, just by consuming them, the enhancement of the Bone Shield would be tremendous.
But Dean McKenzie still thought it wasn¡¯t enough!
¡°We need to be stronger. Although the current Bone Shield is already very strong, very few can shatter it in one hit within level 20, but others can hit it multiple times.
Besides, the opponents I will be facing are not those below level 20, but the Fallen Professionals whom even individuals like Anthony fear.
Therefore, it¡¯s not excessive to intensify the strengthening of the Bone Shield no matter what!
Let¡¯s also consume the Strong Bear and the Earth-armored Hog!¡±
Dean McKenzie made up his mind, then, leading the Strong Bear, he directly rushed towards the [Earth-armored Hog¡¯s] territory.
To be precise, the Strong Bear was leading him to the [Earth-armored Hog¡¯s] territory.
Under the guidance of the Strong Bear, Dean McKenzie soon encountered the [Earth-armored Hog],
Name: Earth-armored Hog
Quality: Ordinary
Level: 19
Attributes:
Strength: 8, Agility: 2, Physique: 10
Attack: 8
Defense: 10 (15)
Spirit Power: 10
Skills: Wild Hog Charge (2nd level), Earth Armor (1st level) ps: Due to racial traits, each point of physique increases the defense of the Earth-armored Hog by 1 point.
Name: Earth-armored Hog King
Quality: Elite
Level: 20
Attributes:
Strength: 12, Agility: 4, Physique: 16
Attack: 12
Defense: 16 (30)
Spirit Power: 20
Skills: Wild Hog Charge (2nd level), Earth Armor (2nd level) (It usually wraps itself in thick mud for protection), Pig King Trample (1st level)
Those attributes, that defense!
They are absolutely terrifying!
Moreover, they always move in herds. A group of wild hogs has two to three hundred members, including nearly twenty Elite Earth-armored Hogs.
Undoubtedly, they are an insurmountable existence for goblins.
Of course, that¡¯s rtive to the goblins. In front of Dean McKenzie, this group of Earth-armored Hogs posed no threat at all.
Dean McKenzie simply found arge rock with some height, lured the group of Earth-armored Hogs over, and then things became straightforward.
Their formidable defense, which was invincible in the eyes of the goblins, was like paper against Dean McKenzie.
Not a single hog could withstand a Bone Fang.
Not even the Pig King.
From the time this herd of pigs was brought over, to Dean McKenzie ending thebat, barely half an hour had passed.
Ny-five percent of the two to three hundred Earth-armored Hogs had fallen.
The remaining eighteen elite hogs, all were thrown into the Land of Bone by Dean McKenzie, after he had them lose their ability to resist.
By then, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone already housed 70 monsters of elite quality.
Looking at the Land of Bone, full of skeletons led by Doggy Two and Doggy Three, guarded the 70 elites.
Dean McKenzie felt a strong sense of achievement, but at the same time, he felt a tad bit greedy.
¡°It¡¯s a shame there are no monsters of the Excellent Temte!¡±
But Dean McKenzie was just speaking his mind.
He himself knew that monsters of Ordinary and Elite Temtes were moremon. Ny-nine percent of the professionals who leave Spring City every year belong to these two levels.
Excellent Temtes are highly sought after in Spring City, and there isn¡¯t even one Bell Be¡¯s kind of rare creature every few years.
¡°Forget it, if there¡¯s none, there¡¯s none. After all, the Rare Temte is nothing special!¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie waved his hand, driving away the sour atmosphere, returned to the Earth-armored Hog Territory, quickly cleared the battlefield, and then headed towards the territory of the Strong Bear.
The situation with the Strong Bears is different from that of the Swiftwind Wolves and Earth-armored Hogs.
They do not live in groups, and generally move around individually.
And most importantly, all of the Strong Bears are basically of elite quality.
Name: Strong Bear
Temte: Elite
Level: 20
Attributes:
Strength: 20, Agility: 3, Physique: 15
Attack: 20
Defense: 15 (20)
Spirit Power: 20
Skill: Powerful Swipe(3), Thick Skin and Meat(2)
Even a in Strong Bear was as powerful as the Earth-armored Pig King.
And there are at least twenty to thirty such Strong Bears.
Dean McKenzie was both surprised and delighted, and he cheerfully got busy in the forest. Like a boy stepping on a bonfire me, one by one, he sent them into the Land of Bone.
The present Dean McKenzie is aplete terror in closebat.
The enhanced Bone Fang has as high as 50 piercing attacks and 65 meters of attacking distance.
The Giant Sword is only 40 meters, with this he got an extra 25 meters, allowing the opponent to run an additional 24 meters.
Any bear seen by him could not get up close.
So, Dean McKenzie just wandered around the forest, and the Land of Bone had gained twenty to thirty more elite monsters.
But when Dean McKenzie approached the center of the forest.
¡°Roar!¡±
A deafening roar sounded.
Then, under the amazed gaze, a five-meter-tall Strong Bear with an impressive aura walked out.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s subconscious threw an Appraisal Skill at it, which was a hit!
Name: Strong Bear King
Temte: Excellent
Trait: Defense Strengthen^ level) (Base defense and defense skill effects increased by fifty percent)

Chapter 51 - 51: 051 Enhanced for the Second Time Bone Shield
Chapter 51: 051 Enhanced for the Second Time Bone Shield
Trantor: 549690339
The attributes of the Strong Bear King could only be described as spectacr.
For the first time, Dean McKenzie truly felt the tremendous power of a level 20 Excellent Temte BOSS.
With those attributes, Dean had no doubt that one Bear King could wipe out a whole forest inhabited by the Goblin Tribe.
After all, the King¡¯s formidable defense, exceeding a hundred points, was not the same as Dean¡¯s Bone Shield.
Its defense was fixed.
It wasn¡¯t energy defense.
In other words, the defense of the Bone Shield was a numerical value; it would deduct a point for every strike received. Once depleted, the Bone Shield would shatter.
But the defense of the Bear King did not work that way.
If your attack did not exceed its defense limit, it would fail to inflict any harm.
So to speak, for a BOSS like the Bear King, the tactic of overwhelming with numbers wasn¡¯t entirely useless but its efficacy was questionable.
Unfortunately for such a powerful bear king, his strength was formidable, but his luck was less than favorable.
Out of all creatures, he had to run into Dean McKenzie!
Facing the Bear King, Dean scornfullyunched a Bone Fang at its chest.
As for Dean¡¯s attack, the Bear King found it utterly contemptible.
A tiny toothpick-like Bone Fang, who could it possibly harm?
The Bear King, supremely confident in its own defense, didn¡¯t even bother to dodge and met the attack head-on.
Then.
¡°Splurt!¡±
The Bone Fang pierced the Bear King¡¯s chest. Although it didn¡¯t go all the way through, it inflicted damage.
The sudden and unexpected severe pain forced the Bear King to roar in agony.
Dean had been waiting for this moment and took advantage of the opening. As the Bear King opened its mouth to roar, he shot another Bone Fang straight in.
The Bear King might have an extremely high defense, but its mouth was still soft.
Dean aimed diagonally upwards, causing the bone fang to burst through the Bear King¡¯s mouth and prate its brain, hitting it hard.
[You sessfully killed [Strong Bear King), gained 5000 experience points, and your level has increased to 14!]
In just two attacks, a terrifying Bear King fell before Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang.
As the Bear King copsed, three lights burst from its body, and Dean¡¯s face showed a look of hesitation and struggle.
Now he faced a dilemma.
What was he to do with the Bear King?
Should he extract the Temte Fragment to prepare for his own Temte¡¯s upgrade to Excellent Quality, or should he use it as a biocatalyst for the second enhancement of the [Bone Shield]?
This was a slightly difficult question.
After a full second of indecision, Dean made up his mind!
¡°First strengthen the skills. The Temte can wait. Even if I extract it, it will be just a fragment. Let¡¯s first enhance the skills!¡±
While talking, Dean opened the Gate of Bone and activated the second enhancement for the [Bone Shield],
[You have initiated the second enhancement of [Bone Shield]. You have 5 minutes of enhancement time, please¡]
At this moment, Dean couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to the system prompt.
With the start of the enhancement, Dean wasted no time in using extraction on the [Strong Bear King] before him.
[You sessfully used Talent Extraction on the [Strong Bear King], gaining 1 point of Strength and one Defense Strengthen Essence (Excellent)!]
He rushed into the Land of Bone, and tossed out a Bone Fang with a flick of his hand.
At this point, all the monsters in the Land of Bone had already been lined up in a row to be dispensed with.
Dean shot out a Bone Fang, instantly piercing through a dozen monsters.
After one shot, Dean first extracted attributes.
Then he took another shot.
The second shot resulted in a level up, and his Mana was replenished.
With this strategy, Dean had cleared all the Elite monsters in two to three minutes and had basically finished extracting all the attributes.
With this method, Dean had managed the extraction without needing to consume much potion.
Throughout the process, Dean McKenzie¡¯s system kept popping up with notifications.
[You¡¯ve killed an[Elite Goblin] (Level 15) , 52 in total, gaining 10400 Experience Points!]
[You¡¯ve killed an[Earth-armored Hog](Elite) 18 in total, gaining 1800 Experience Points!]
[You¡¯ve killed an [Strong Bear] (Elite) 31 in total, gaining 31000 Experience Points!]
[Your Level has risen to 17, your Spiritual Power increased to 37.1, and your Mana limit has increased to 371!]
[You¡¯ve gained a new enhancement slot!]
[Your Wraith Servants Doggy Two and Doggy Three¡¯s Level have risen to 16, their Attributes have improved!]
[Your subordinate, Strong Grass, have risen to Level 15, its Attributes have improved!]
Hundreds of Elite Monsters, killed in one fell swoop, have raised the levels of Dean McKenzie and his aides by 3.4 levels.
However, what had Dean McKenzie frowning was that these hundreds of Elite Monsters only dropped less than one hundred glowing orbs.
He didn¡¯t know if it¡¯s because he leveled up quite a bit or if these monsters had been locked up for too long.
Regardless, judging by the number of glowing orbs, the gains had decreased by at least 50%.
As for how much exactly, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have the time to bother figuring that out now.
[You are about to spend 204 Silver Coins, would you like to assign your remaining 102 Attribute Points to the[Bone Shield]?]
¡°Yes!¡±
[You spend 1010 Silver Coins to fuse 101 Elite Essence into the Skill Trait (Bone Hardening)!]
[You spend 100 Silver Coins to fuse[Defense Strengthen]Essence into the Skill Trait (Bone Hardening)!]
For the secondary enhancement of the Bone Shield, Dean McKenzie chose the most extreme method of levelling up attributes.
He invested all of the Essences into the (Bone Hardening) Trait!
Firstly, of all the hundreds of Essences, none were particrly suited to Bone Shield, and Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have the time to scrutinize them.
Secondly, having many talents in hand isn¡¯t as good as focusing on one at hand!
It¡¯s better to fully enhance just one Trait instead of working on several.
This was the quickest method to strengthen a skill in a short period of time.
And, as it turned out, Dean McKenzie¡¯s approach proved to be effective.
[Your skill[Bone Shield]haspleted its secondary enhancement!]
Skill: Bone Shield (secondary enhancement)
Level: 3 (0/1000)
Consumption: 100
Chant: With the Power of Death, forge an unyielding shield
Effect: Summon a Bone Shield with a Defense Rating of 2.4 times your Spirit plus 128,sting 120 seconds
Invisible Shield: Your skeleton creates a constant Invisible Shield with a
Defense Rating of 128.
Skill Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 3) (Cannot exceed Skill Level)
Effect 1: Attacks below 128 points will not damage the Bone Shield (This effect applies to Invisible Shield)
Effect 2: Increase Defense by 500 points
Effect 3: Defense effect increases by 25% (This effect applies to Invisible Shield)
At the same time the Skill Enhanced, Dean McKenzie could clearly feel his defense greatly improving.
When he saw the attributes of his enhanced Bone Shield, even Dean McKenzie, the owner of the Skill, couldn¡¯t help but take a sharp breath and exim, ¡°This is insane!¡±
¡°Does this mean that any attack of 128 points or less can¡¯t harm me now?¡±
This defense was even more outrageous than the previous bear king.
Although his Mana usage has increased five-fold, raising it to 100 points, Dean McKenzie was quite pleased and decided to try it out right away.
Looking at the three Bone Shields he had summoned, which were floating and rotating around him, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face was full of unstoppable smiles: ¡°This Skill is out of this world and I love it!¡±

Trantor: 549690339
After the second enhancement of the Bone Shield waspleted, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyesnded on the newly emerged slot for enhancement.
Concerning this slot, Dean had made his decision early on.
The second enhancement of the Bone Shield further confirmed Dean¡¯s choice.
¡°This slot must go to the Meditation Skill. By doing so, I could enhance the Meditation Skill twice at once.
Once enhanced twice, even if it doesn¡¯t allow me to freely use Mana, it would certainly greatly alleviate the pressure of using my Mana, and allow my Talent level to increase to level 2 more quickly!¡±
At present, even Dean himself can¡¯t imagine how powerful he would be with his Talent upgraded to level 2 and skills such as the Bone Fang Meditation Skill enhanced twice.
He now deres himself invincible to anyone under level 20.
As for whether he could try fighting against anyone above level 20, he wasn¡¯t sure as he hadn¡¯t encountered them yet.
However, Dean felt that if his opponent was just an ordinary temte
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l?
One-turn profession holder who wouldn¡¯t restrain him much, he might give it
a try.
If his Talent level increased, Dean believed that he could even challenge
One-turn characters without having to worry.
Afterwards, Dean, who had finished the second enhancement of the Bone
Shield, began to tidy up the battlefield and check his earnings from this round.
The earnings from this wave were not inconsiderable.
in terms of money, subtracting the 11 Gold Coins just used, Dean was left with
5 Gold Coins.
Regarding potions, Dean picked up 7 Small Mana Potions and 2 Small Health Potions.
Name: Small Mana Potion
Level: 20
Effect: Restores 500 Mana within 3 minutes after consumption.
Name: Small Health Potion
Level: 20
Effect: Recovers to points of damage from physique after consumption.
Obviously, these are upgraded versions of the previous low-level potions.
There was also some decent equipment, which Doggy Two and Doggy Three donned.
Wild Boar Heavy Armor (ordinary) (level 20), increases 12 points of Defense
Wild Boar Boots (ordinary) (level 20), increases 10 points of Defense
Wild Boar Gloves (ordinary) (level 20), increases 8 points of Defense
Set Attribute: Increases 3 points of Strength, 15 points of Defense!
With two full sets avable, Dean equipped Doggy Two and Doggy Three with
these items.
After the switch, their Defense increased to 45-
The swapped out equipment was given to Big Force.
Big Force not only didn¡¯t despise them, but she was quite pleased and joy stamped on her face.
About which, she brought a surprise for Dean.
She found a ck Iron Treasure Chest in the Strong Bear King¡¯s den.
When Dean opened it to see, there was a Gold Coin and a piece of the treasure chest.
Adding this piece to the ones previously obtained from the Swiftwind Wolf Pack and the Earth-armored Hog, it was just enough to assemble a Treasure Chest.
[You have assembled a Treasure Chest!]
[You have opened the Treasure Chest and acquired the equipment, Lich¡¯s Tear (level 20)!]
Equipment: Lich¡¯s Tear (Ne)
Quality: Bronze
Level: 20
Required Equipment: Spirit 30
Effect 1: Increases Spirit by 10 points
Effect 2: Attached Skill ¡°Mental Resistance¡± level 3 (Able to withstand a Mental
Attack below 250 points, limited to once per day!)
Seeing this attribute, Dean immediately removed the Bone Ne that he had been wearing around his neck.
With the Lich¡¯s Tear in hand, Dean McKenzie felt a further boost in his security.
Both physically and spiritually, he was now well-protected!
¡°This way, I won¡¯t have any shorings in my defense!¡±
With the acquisition of the Lich¡¯s Tear, Dean¡¯s hoard for this trip was basicallyplete.
He quickly tidied up, took the corpses of dozens of Strong Bears and hundreds of Earth-armored Hogs as his spoils of war, and returned to the tribe.
As soon as he got back, the system notification updated immediately.
[You havepleted the final challenge of the first stage of the route you chose in [Rise of the Goblin Tribe], The reward settlement will begin in half an hour!]
This sudden system notification left Dean momentarily frozen in surprise.
Dean knew from the start that where he currently resided was just an instance, and that one day he would have to leave it. But he didn¡¯t expect that day toe so soon.
It had only been about six or seven days, and it was already time for him to leave.
Just like that? He¡¯s leaving?
Dean looked at the Goblin Tribe, which had just filled the entire valley.
The tribe in front of him was beginning to develop in the direction he wanted.
But all of this progress relied on his presence.
If Dean left this instance right now, would the Goblin tribe still look like it does now?
Maybe it would fall apart immediately, reverting to the state it was in before his arrival within not much time.
¡°Even though this is just an instance, even though this instance may not continue to exist after I leave, I refuse to let the mark that I¡¯ve left here be erased if I tried to change it!
To maintain its current state and to allow this tribe to keep moving in the direction that I wish, there needs to be someone able of upholding my will!¡± Dean murmured.
At this moment, he had a clear n in his mind.
The only question now was, who would he find to enforce his will?
The old Strong Grass?
¡°No, he is too old. I need a young and vibrant presence!
As he spoke, Dean turned to look at Strong Grass standing behind him.
¡°I¡¯ve decided, it¡¯s you!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Strong Grass, with his baffled and innocent eyes, stared at Dean.
¡°I need to leave the tribe for a while¡¡±
¡°Leader, where are you going? Can I¡¡±
¡°Shut up and listen. During my absence, you will be in charge of the tribe.
You are my embodiment left behind in this tribe, and I will grant you strength. What you have to do is to implement my will and strive to change the tribe. Remember mymands!
I want everyone in the tribe to be provided for, both young and old!
I want the tribe to prosper and live in harmony, no longer resorting to cannibalism, not giving into corruption in hard times, or bing arrogant when powerful.
1 want you to have your own beliefs, your own civilization, your own history¡¡± In the remaining half an hour, Dean irresponsibly dumped the responsibility of the tribe onto Strong Grass, making up various demands on the spot that he couldn¡¯t repeat twice.
While making these demands, Dean opened the Gate of Bone, ordering Doggy Two to direct a group of skeletons to ughter in front of him.
After that, Dean downed Small Mana Potions and started a frenzied Extraction! He chugged three Small Mana Potions in one go, performing over a hundred Extractions ¨C each time gaining 0.2, amassing nearly thirty attribute points. Then, Dean once again turned his attention towards the still dumbfounded Strong Grass.
[You used your Lord¡¯s Appointment to Enhance. Confirm Enhancement on Strong Grass!]
[You consumed 5 Silver Coins, giving Strong Grass 5 points in various attributes!]
[You consumed 40 Silver Coins, giving Strong Grass 20 points in various attributes!]
[Your subordinate, Strong Grass, activated the [Goblin Brave] lineage!¡]
just when Strong Grass finished his enhancement and activated the Goblin Brave lineage, the reward for Dean¡¯s sessful dungeon clearance arrived as promised¡.
Chapter 53 - 53: 053 S-level Rewards
Chapter 53: 053 S-level Rewards
Trantor: 549690339
Inside the Goblin Uprising Secret Realm Instance.
As the reward calction began, the sight before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes changed.
The Goblin Tribe vanished, leaving him alone in a pure white reward calction space.
The system notification arrived as expected.
[Reward calction for Instance clearance is starting!]
[You have cleared the first stage through the Lord¡¯s Path and gained a basic
C-grade reward!]
[You¡¯ve tamed all the Goblin Tribes in the Forest, solving the survival threat of the Goblin Tribe in the forest, and have been elevated to A-grade evaluation!]
[You¡¯ve left a leader in the Goblin Tribe who can guide the tribe ording to your will, and your grade has been bumped up to S-minus!]
Se??ch ?ew?o?e?/o?g o? ?oo?l?
[Your final reward grade is S-minus!]
[Do you wish to initiate the reward calction for this stage?]
Seeing the system prompts that ceased to refresh, and the massive gold ¡°S-¡± on the screen, Dean froze on the spot.
He really hadn¡¯t expected hisst operation to shoot his reward grade from A to the unprecedented S level.
Even if it was ¡°S-¡± it was still S level!
Ever since his first instance, Dean wasn¡¯t short on information about instances.
From what Dean knew, an S-grade evaluation of an Instance was extremely difficult to achieve.
The rewards for an S-grade evaluation were notorious in the game.
Just how notorious, Dean didn¡¯t know, as he had never received an S-grade evaluation before.
But now, Dean had a chance to find out.
¡°Calcte rewards!¡±
As Dean called out excitedly, system prompts began refreshing.
[Reward calctionplete. You will receive the following rewards: 1. 20 Free Attribute Points.2. One Basic Skill Enhancement Scroll.3. One Substitute Puppet!
Awards have been delivered!]
As the system notifications refreshed, the free attribute points on Dean¡¯s panel jumped from 5 to 25.
At the same time, a scroll and a puppet appeared in his hands.
Name: Basic Skill Enhancement Scroll
Description: Special item that can enhance the attributes of one basic skill.
Name: Substitute Puppet
Description: Special item. When you take fatal damage, it will block it for you and teleport you to the puppet¡¯s location.
ps: Effective until level 40
Since his own talent could already increase his attributes and enhance his skills, Dean wasn¡¯t particrly excited when he saw the first two S-level rewards.
It wasn¡¯t until he saw the attributes of the Substitute Puppet that he beamed with joy.
After all, who wouldn¡¯t love an item that could save their life?
After carefully putting away the Substitute Puppet, Dean turned his attention to the attribute points and the Skill Enhancement Scroll.
If he put all 25 free attribute points into Spirit, he would instantly break the 60 benchmark.
But Dean hesitated.
Should he blindly push his Spirit, or add some to Agility so he could run faster when he meets a foe he can¡¯t defeat?
¡°Forget it, leave it for now, let¡¯s first study this Skill Enhancement Scroll!¡±
With that, Dean picked up the Enhancement Scroll. This was his first time seeing such an item.
¡°Looks like skill enhancement isn¡¯t my exclusive privilege. Others can also enhance their skills using items. Just wonder about the effect.¡±
With that thought, Dean¡¯s gazended on his list of skills.
Enhanced Bone Fang, Dual-powered Bone Shield.
Meditation, Summon Skeleton, Appraisal Skill, Beast Intuition, Slow Curse.
¡°I just realized I have quite a number of skills. Which one should I use this magic item on?
¡°Bone Shield!¡±
Dean McKenzie made the decision without much hesitation.
Although Bone Shield had just been empowered and was already fairly overpowered, if it could be more so, Dean would be delighted. But unfortunately, it failed.
[This is not a basic skill. You cannot use the Enhancement Scroll on this skill!]
¡°It can¡¯t be used?¡±
Dean raised an eyebrow, his gaze then falling on Bone Fang. Still no good.
¡°So, skills that have been enhanced can¡¯t be further improved with scrolls. In that case, Summon Skeleton probably can¡¯t be used either?¡±
Dean said, casually tossing the scroll. Unexpectedly, a system prompt popped up.
[Sessfully used the Skill Enhancement Scroll on Summon Skeleton!]
¡°It worked?¡±
Dean was dumbfounded: ¡°Didn¡¯t I already enhance Summon Skeleton? How did it still seed in enhancing?¡±
¡°Could it be because my enhancement was aimed towards the summoned creature, not the skill itself?¡±
That could be the only exnation Dean could think of.
The use of the Skill Enhancement Scroll was very quick.
In less than a minute, the enhancement was done.
[Your skill, Summon Skeleton, has been enhanced!]
¡°Is it done?¡±
Excited, Dean immediately opened the attributes of Summon Skeleton.
Skill: Summon Skeleton +1
Level: 1 (89/100)
Incantation: Servant of bone, explore the truth of death
Effect: Summons an 8th level undead creature (Skeleton)
Concurrent Summons: 2/4
Mana Cost: 15 per summon (1 per 30 minutes per summon for maintenance)
Looking at these enhanced attributes, Dean fell silent.
¡°The effect of this enhancement¡ Barely satisfactory, I guess!¡±
After seeing enhancements like Bone Fang and Bone Shield, the enhancement from the Skill Scroll felt a bitckluster to Dean.
What Dean didn¡¯t realize was that the enhancement he saw as slightlycking would be greatly sought after by others.
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just pretend this reward doesn¡¯t exist. No, actually, it¡¯s not altogether useless!¡±
Dean suddenly remembered that he had been worried about how to exin using the enhanced skills in the future. Now, with this, he had an exnation.
¡°But there is a problem, how can I logically tell others that I got this thing?
I¡¯ve got it!¡±
Dean¡¯s eyes lit up.
He made the system prompt about achieving an S-rank score visible and took a picture of it.
¡°I¡¯ll send this to Anthony!
Have him make a copy. Now if I use an enhanced skillter, I can at least justify one!¡±
Just as Dean finished taking the picture, another system prompt appeared.
[You have collected the instance rewards. The instance challenge is nowplete!]
At the same time as this system prompt, Dean vanished from the pure white space and returned to the Goblin Forest.
As soon as Dean came back, the Goblin Uprising scroll in his hand started to heat up.
Meanwhile, the system prompt refreshed again.
[The status of your Instance Scroll, Goblin Uprising, has changed. Please check! ]
Dean was taken aback, his gaze once again falling on the Goblin Uprising scroll.
Name: Goblin Uprising Instance Scroll
Challenge Level: 21
Description: You havepleted the first phase challenge with an S-level evaluation, activating the second phase of Goblin Uprising. Please initiate the challenge once you reach Level-21.
As Dean was staring at the scroll, a voice came from his side: ¡°Huh, you¡¯re quite lucky, managing to get a chained instance scroll like this!¡±
Chapter 54 - 54: 054 Fallen Professional
Chapter 54: 054 Fallen Professional
Trantor: 549690339
Within the Goblin Forest Map!
At the sudden sound of an unfamiliar voice, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face involuntarily changed.
Subconsciously, as a first reaction, he tucked the scroll in his hand away while cautiously locating the source of the voice.
What he saw made his scalp tingle with dread.
Standing in front of him was a stranger dressed in ck armor, a ck longsword clutched in his right hand, his whole body emanating an unnerving aura of bloodthirst. Not a good person, and definitely not someone to be trifled with.
A powerful individual!
At first nce, Dean could determine, this person was undeniably a force to be reckoned with.
A being of a level higher than One-turn.
This caused Dean to instinctively step back a few steps, softly chanting a summoning spell for Bone Shield, ready to activate it at any time.
The mysterious stranger shook his head: ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. I carry no ill-will towards you as of now, or else you¡¯d already be dead.
Also, if I had wanted to do something to you, that Bone Shield of yours would be as flimsy as paper in front of me, providing no protection whatsoever.¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean raised an eyebrow, rxing the summoned Bone Shield as if he understood something.
Despite his suspicions about the stranger¡¯s identity, Dean feigned ignorance, slyly tugging at his sleeve as he asked,
¡°And you are?¡±
¡°Your benefactor.¡±
Dean grimaced, annoyed. Didn¡¯t anyone ever tell this man that such conversations were a killjoy?
However, the stranger seemed to have no intention of engaging in small talk,manding Dean with an undeniable tone:¡±Follow me!¡±
With that, the man turned around and ventured deeper into the Goblin Forest, leaving a puzzled Dean behind.
Should he follow, or¡ follow?
After a moment of hesitation, Dean decided to trail behind.
Partly because he suspected the stranger to be the Fallen Professional that Anthony had mentioned, and partly because he had already informed Anthony.
His subtle sleeve-tugging earlier was meant to alert Anthony.
Convinced of Anthony¡¯s reliability, Dean believed he would arrive soon.
As such, Dean confidently followed the stranger into the depths of the Goblin Forest.
However, the moment they ventured deeper into the forest, Dean¡¯s face turned pale.
In the depths of the Goblin Forest, Dean found a blood-stained Altar.
At each corner of the altar, four individuals were kneeling.
In order to ensure that they maintained their posture, their kneecaps were savagely removed.
What was even more horrifying was their faces.
Only upon a closer look did Dean realize that the eyes of these four people had been gouged out, their ears and noses cut off, and their mouths bleeding.
Their facial features had beenpletely mutted!
Yet they were all still alive, enduring agonizing pain, each of them letting out pitiful howls of suffering!
Witnessing this scene, Dean¡¯s face turned ashen.
At this point, the mysterious man leading the way turned around with a proud tone,¡±What you¡¯re seeing now is an initiation ritual of our Bloody Church.
It¡¯s known as the Four-person Blood Sacrifice!
By sacrificing four professionals of around level 10, the ritual can bepleted. This will grant favor from the God of Blood to the ritual master in the form of up to four Free Attribute Points.
This ritual you see now is my wee gift to you!
Go on then. Now all that¡¯s left is the final step of the ritual. Justplete it and you¡¯ll be bestowed with the God of Blood¡¯s favor, and be one of us!¡±
The stranger put notable emphasis on the phrase ¡®one of us.¡¯ Threat was evident in his tone!
Dean, on the other hand, was suppressing his rage, frowning as he changed the subject:¡±Is it okay to conduct such rituals within the Goblin Forest?
As far as I know, the training maps in Spring City controlled by the South Hill Base can be¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s not something you need to worry about.
Right now, your task is toplete this ritual!¡±
The mysterious man interrupted Dean, throwing a dagger at his feet,¡±Step up, slit their throats one by one, and then stand in the center of the altar. That¡¯s all it takes!
This is the wee gift our church has gifted you. I hope you appreciate it!¡±
Dean¡¯s brows were tightly knitted.
Honestly, the situation was developing in a much unexpected manner.
Although he was aware that he was being targeted by a Fallen Professional, he didn¡¯t expect them to act so quickly.
Moreover, he didn¡¯t expect that their method of induction would be this straightforward and brutal.
No gentle persuasion, none at all!
Just threats right from the start!
It appeared there were only two paths before Dean now.
Eitherplete the ritual and let the stranger hold this leverage over him, bing a member of this so-called Bloody Church.
Or he could refuse toplete the ritual, leading to violence from the stranger¡¯s end.
Of course, Dean had another option: to buy some time.
Dean believed that given enough time, Anthony woulde to his rescue.
This was the damnable sense of security that Anthony provided.
However, just when Dean had made up his mind to stall, the stranger raised his eyebrows suddenly.
¡°Oh right, there¡¯s something I forgot to tell you!¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Are you aware of the recent disappearance of a young talent from South Hill Base who had just awakened his Talent?¡±
¡°Did you do it?¡±
Dean dropped his gaze.
¡°Not us, I¡¯m afraid. We didn¡¯t have the good fortune to take credit for it. The truth is out now though, the boy was taken by his own mentor!¡±
Dean was taken aback, furrowing his brows even more.
¡°Do you wonder why I suddenly mentioned this to you?
The reason is simple: Your situation is rted to this incident. This has significant influence on you!¡±
¡°On me?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you find it odd? You¡¯ve been trying to contact Anthony Hawkins for a while now, but there¡¯s been no response. This isn¡¯t like him at all, right?¡±
With those words, Dean¡¯s face turned grave.
Unsure of how his cover has been blown, Dean reacted quickly.
He turned on his heel and took off without a second thought.
¡°Quick thinker, but it won¡¯t help you.
As a level 20 Necromancer Apprentice, there¡¯s no chance of you escaping from me.
As for Anthony?
He¡¯s simply unlucky, just like you.
The mentor who took the boy away was Anthony¡¯s former subordinate. Anthony got him into South Hill Base. Coupled with the fact that someone else has been keeping an eye on Anthony, he¡¯s been brought in for questioning at Mirror Stand. He¡¯s having a hard time himself now, let alone being able to save you!¡±
With that, the mysterious man leisurely strode towards Dean.
In a few steps, he had caught up and blocked Dean¡¯s path, his ck longsword pointed at Dean¡¯s nose.
¡°So, you now have two choices: eitherplete the ritual or be part of it. What¡¯s it going to be?¡±
¡°I choose a third option!¡±
The Dean who was previously fleeing in panic suddenly looked up, a Bone Fangunched without hesitation.
As for this attack, the mysterious man merely scoffed: ¡°Do you really think a mere Bone Fang can ambush me? How foolish!¡±
With these words, the mysterious man flicked his sword leisurely, only to have his smug expression change abruptly!
Chapter 55 - 55: 055 Killing
Chapter 55: 055 Killing
Trantor: 549690339
Goblin Forest!
Right next to a blood-red altar.
¡°sh!¡±
As the mysterious man¡¯s long knife collided with the Bone Fang thrown by
Dean McKenzie, the mysterious man was filled with doubt.
This power? Is this a damn Bone Fang?
Is he joking? Even the Bone Spear, a One-turn skill of a Necromancer, isn¡¯t this exaggerated, is it?
A force far beyond his expectations was now bursting from the long knife in his hand.
An attack of hundreds struck the unprepared mysterious man¡¯s knife, sending it flying out of his hand, with the Bone Fang still unexhausted, shot straight towards the mysterious man¡¯s head.
Dean couldn¡¯t help but tense up.
From the very beginning, he never thought about running away.
He knew very well that with his agility that was practically zero, he couldn¡¯t possibly outrun the man.
Even if he had added his points, he might not have been able to escape.
So, running away was just a strategy, the purpose was to leave this to the man. Dean naturally hoped that his move could directly take down his opponent. But it did not!
As the Bone Fang was heading towards his opponent¡¯s head, the man directly lifted his hand to block the Bone Fang.
¡°Thud!¡±
The man¡¯s hand was pierced on the spot.
But at the same time his hand was pierced, his skill was activated, a crimson light erupted from him, and his body abruptly moved five meters to the right, avoiding the fatal Bone Fang at the critical moment.
The mysterious man who had had a narrow escape had a gloomy face. Panting he stared at Dean.
¡°I have to say, your Bone Fang really surprised me.
You used a Skill Enhancement Scroll, didn¡¯t you?
Using such an expensive item on a trash skill, what a waste!¡±
Dean remained silent, immediately chanting a spell to prepare for another attack.
Seeing this, the mysterious man showed no fear: ¡°You don¡¯t think I¡¯ll make the same mistakes twice, do you?¡±
As he spoke, Dean let out another Bone Fang. But this time, the no longer careless man stepped to the right as soon as Dean lifted his hand, with unbelievable speed, he anticipated the attack and evaded the Bone Fang. While effortlessly dodging Dean¡¯s attack, the mysterious manmented: ¡°I have to admit, your Bone Fang is well-enhanced, the attack is strong, it¡¯s definitely at a One-turn level, maybe even upper One-turn level. But it¡¯s average in speed, only basic skill level.
Against me, this skill only gives you one chance to make it work, and unfortunately, you failed!
Now, you need to pay for your actions!¡±
Saying so, he started walking towards Dean step by step.
At this time, Dean no longer held back and continued noting the advice given while tossing an Appraisal Skill at the man.
Failed!
Again and again!
Yet again!
[You have sessfully used the Appraisal Skill and obtained the target¡¯s attributes. You obtain arge amount of experience for the Appraisal Skill!] [Your Appraisal Skill level has increased to level 2!]

2.5 times damage, and cause a first-level Bloodthirsty effect.
First-level Bloodthirsty: Causes damage that cannot be healed,sts for 1 minute
Equipment: Bloodthirsty de (disarmed), Bloodthirsty Suit (ck Iron) (level 20)
Ps: There may be attributes that are not detected.
Looking at the attributes in front of him, Dean was amazed.
His level is only one higher than that of the Strong Bear King boss, even the temte quality is one rank lower than Strong Bear King, but the attributes in front of him are truly terrifying.
Is it because his job had turned?
Or because of the Blood Sacrifice ritual?
Dean didn¡¯t know the reason, but it seemed unimportant.
The important thing is, this man named Jay Murray, was activating his Charge
while Dean was casting the Appraisal Skill.
Clearly, this guy didn¡¯t underestimate Dean as much as he made it out to be.
Otherwise, a One-turn Warrior wouldn¡¯t have used Charge at the exact moment Deanpleted the Appraisal Skill, using this kind of stealth attack tactic.
Of course, for these Fallen Professionals, methods and processes are not important, the result is the key.
Jay Murray¡¯s Charge of level 3 wasunched.
The few meter gap was nothing for him.
In an instant, Jay Murray was right up to Dean¡¯s face. Even though he didn¡¯t
have a de in his hand, it didn¡¯t matter.
Does a One-turn Warrior need a de to close in on a level 17 Necromancer Apprentice?
Is he joking?
Jay Murray directly swept Dean by the neck towards him, delivering a brutal knee strike.
A brutal expression flitted across Jay Murray¡¯s face. It seemed that he had already visualized the fragile Mage being smashed by his attack.
The end result!
¡°Thud!¡±
Jay¡¯s violent knee hit Dean¡¯s abdomen. Above his head, a faint ¡°miss¡± seemed to float away.
¡±???¡±
Jay¡¯s eyes popped out in surprise.
This defense, is he fucking a Mage?
Then, Jay quickly realized his current situation.
Danger!
Subconsciously, Jay wanted to let Dean go.
But it was toote, by the time he had grabbed Dean, Dean put his hand on his chest and shot out a Bone Fang.
The point-nk attack didn¡¯t leave him any chance to activate his Blood Escape.
¡°Pfft¡±, Jay was pierced through the heart by the Bone Fang.
[You¡¯ve sessfully killed the Fallen Bloody Warrior (Elite) (level 21), you gain
10 thousand base experience points, and you gain an additional 40 thousand
experience points for a higher-level kill!]
[Your level has increased to 18, your Spiritual Power has increased to 38.1, the
upper limit of Mana has been raised to 381!]
The system prompt shed before Dean¡¯s eyes. Jay, with his heart pierced, fell
to the ground, dead with his eyes still wide open.
He never expected that he would be killed by a level 17 Necromancer
Apprentice, especially in closebat.
What Jay did not know was that Dean, who had killed him was also sweating bullets.
Looking at Jay¡¯s corpse in front of him, Dean couldn¡¯t help but pat his chest and murmur: ¡°This was no easy fight. If he hadn¡¯t been careless twice, I could¡¯ve been in danger.
There was a 10 or 20 percent chance he could have escaped!
One-turn level beings are indeed powerful!¡±

Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie and Jay Murray faced each other.
At the Mirror Stand in Spring City.
Ennis Hawkins sat in an interrogation room.
In front of him were a young man and woman.
Ennis had been cooperating with their questioning.
Suddenly, one of the tools on him lit up.
Almost immediately as the tool lit up, the young man interrogating Ennis raised an eyebrow?
¡°Amunication tool? Who gave you permission to use amunication tool
in the interrogation room?
Hand it over!¡±
Ennis wasn¡¯t fazed by this.
¡°Look, I¡¯m here to cooperate with your investigation, not a criminal, and as the captain of the Spring City Ninth Enforcement Team, I do have this privilege!¡± While saying this kindly, Ennis picked up themunication tool to check.
Upon one nce, his eyebrows wrinkled.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I need to step out for a while!¡¯
Saying this, Ennis prepared to leave.
But this action infuriated the two young interrogators even further.
¡°Step out? Ennis, are you aware of the situation?
This is the Mirror Stand, you can¡¯te and go as you please!¡¯
The pair stepped in to block Ennis, but Ennis pulled out a scroll.
¡°Apologies, it¡¯s urgent. I will apologize to you both when I return!¡±
As he spoke, he prepared to use his scroll.
But then a stern voice rang out.
¡°Stop!¡±
The power of the Mirror Stand structure came into effect. An invisible force burst forth, causing the scroll in Ennis¡¯ hand to lose its power.
At the same time, a tall figure entered the interrogation room.
It was Breanna Holt, the highest authority of the Mirror Stand in Spring City.
She entered with a stem face and said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t care what issues you have, you are not leaving the Mirror Stand today, that is my order!¡±
Her strong attitude made Ennis swallow back the exnation he had on the tip of his tongue.
His face grew serious and resolute.
¡°Well, then I¡¯m afraid I have to cross the line today!¡±
As he spoke, Ennis burst forth with a bright golden light, charging straight for the door of the interrogation room.
¡°Resisting the investigation violently, Ennis, you arepletely out of control!
Stop right there!¡±
Breanna¡¯s eyebrows raised as she drew a whip andshed out at Ennis.
Ennis knocked it away in a backhand swipe, and they collided violently.
¡°Boom!¡±
Breanna was thrown back, while Ennis smashed through the interrogation room door and vanished in a beam of light.
Breanna, left recoiling, looked extremely livid. She gave an order to the two next to her, ¡°Immediately send out mymand ¨C Ennis Hawkins has fled from justice. Consider him a wanted criminal and conduct a citywide manhunt for him!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
The two young people at her side promptly prepared to ry the order.
¡°Wait wait wait, don¡¯t be hasty, don¡¯t be hasty!
A fat man appeared at that moment, panting as he ran over.
After a moment, the fat man finally reached Breanna, panting and saying,
-Br¡Breanna, you can¡¯t do this. The consequences will be severe if you do!¡±
¡°Severe consequences?¡±
Breanna burst outughing at these words, ¡°Ennis violently broke thew, charging out of my Mirror Stand. Everyone witnessed it. I¡¯m following the rules and you¡¯re telling me the consequences will be severe?
¡°Fine! Let¡¯s see just how severe the consequences will be!¡±
Then, Breanna Holtpletely ignored the chubby man¡¯s objections and promptly dered Ennis Hawkins a wanted felon.
Seeing Breanna Holt pull this off, the panting chubby man who had been advising her became fairlyposed. Watching Breanna Holt¡¯s retreating figure, he mocked, ¡°You didn¡¯t heed my advice, and you will regret it!
Who do you think Ennis Hawkins is? Do you think the connections he has cultivated over decades can be shaken by a neer like you?
¡°You¡¯re just asking for trouble!¡±
Breanna Holt did not hear the chubby man¡¯s words, and even if she had, she would not have paid them any mind.
In her eyes, Ennis Hawkins was merely a soft-hearted old man.
What she didn¡¯t realise was how deeply rooted this soft-heartedness was, having been cultivated in Spring City for nearly twenty years.
What does that mean?
Breanna quickly found out.
Less than half an hour after Mirror Stand had issued its deration that Ennis Hawkins was on the run, problems quickly arose.
Thew enforcement teams of Spring City surrounded Mirror Stand in a show
of force.
All the team leaders, save for Ennis Hawkins himself, joined forces and infiltrated Mirror Stand to ¡®invite¡¯ Breanna out for a discussion.
Of course, as the highest inmand at Mirror Stand, Breanna had her tricks
too.
The team leaders who came in were under her control in less than half an hour.
But that mattered little.
Before long, the head of Spring City¡¯s branch personally arrived at Mirror
Stand.
A man even higher up in the chain also quickly called Breanna.
In less than five minutes, the team leaders were released, and Mirror Stand rescinded its warrant for Ennis Hawkins¡¯s arrest.
Not only that, but Breanna Holt¡¯s responsibility as the head of Mirror Stand was temporarily revoked, and Mirror Stand issued an apology to Ennis Hawkins over the incident.
By now, Breanna finally understood the severe consequences the chubby man had been speaking of.
She also finally understood how terrifying awork of contacts the soft-hearted old man she had underestimated, Ennis Hawkins,manded in the Professional Alliance.
But it is toote!
South Hill Base, Goblin Forest.
As soon as Ennis Hawkins left Mirror Stand, he made immediate use of the
Scroll.
He was instantly transported to the Goblin Forest.
He arrived at the spot where Dean McKenzie had first activated
munication.
Barely touching down, his brow furrowed deeply.
With his skills and profession, he could clearly sense that a Fallen Professional had just been here.
He even managed to urately deduce the other party¡¯s identity, job, and strength.
¡°Level 21, Bloody Warrior, main attributes Strength and Agility, Elite Temte! So they even used a One-turn entity. Kid, you have to hold on!¡± Ennis Hawkins muttered as he moved deeper into the Goblin Forest.
He moved swiftly, pushing his speed to the limit.
¡°Almost there, I¡¯m almost there!¡±
Feeling the distance between himself and Dean McKenzie closing, Ennis brightened up, shouting in advance: ¡°Listen here, Bloody Church scum, if you dare to harm that kid, I, Ennis Hawkins, promise to use all my connections to wage a life-or-death battle against your Bloody Church!¡±
In the midst of issuing threats and attempting to intimidate,
Ennis Hawkins swung his sword radiating divine light, making a grand entrance.
However, when Ennis Hawkins arrived deep in the Goblin Forest, at the edge of an Altar and brandishing his holy sword intending to rescue Dean McKenzie, he froze.
There he was, the guy he was supposed to rescue, gingerlymanding Skeletons to carry people from the blood-soaked altar while staring at him in shock.
Upon locking eyes with the stunned Dean McKenzie, ncing at the now lifeless body of Jay Murray by their side with a hole in his chest, and recalling his own brash words, Ennis couldn¡¯t help but blush..
Chapter 57 - 57: 057 The Second Piece of Bronze Equipment

Goblin Forest.
By the altar!
Dean McKenzie was preparing to grab the person from the altar and hit the road, intending to find an instance or hide out in the Land of Bone until Ennis Hawkins showed up.
Unexpectedly, even before he couldpletely save the person, Ennis Hawkins, glowing with a divine light, rushed over.
The instant their gazes met, Dean McKenzie was genuinely stunned.
Didn¡¯t they say that Ennis was at the Mirror Stand? How did he get here?
As for Ennis Hawkins,
His face turned red before quickly adjusting to the situation.
First, he rescued the remaining person on the altar, gave them a potion, and then came to inspect Jay Murray¡¯s injuries.
¡°Piercing wounds, two of them, in critical locations. They are the result of close-range spell casting!¡±
While inspecting Jay Murray¡¯s injuries, Ennis Hawkins raised his eyebrows and turned to Dean McKenzie: ¡°This kind of damage is usually inflicted by a one-turn level, how did you manage to do it?
Moreover, under such close conditions, you must¡¯ve taken a hit before retaliating. How did you withstand their attack?¡±
It must be said, Ennis Hawkins, as the captain of Spring City¡¯s Law Enforcement Team, has seen much.
Extensive knowledge.
Merely judging from the wounds on Jay Murray¡¯s body, he deduced the fight between Dean McKenzie and Jay Murray, raising his own questions along the way.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t speak, instead, he pulled out Bone Fang and Bone Shield. In passing, Dean McKenzie also brought out the instance scroll for ¡°Goblin Uprising¡±.
Seeing Dean McKenzie¡¯s enhanced skills, Ennis Hawkins was taken aback.
Looking at the scrollbeled ¡®S-Level¡¯ in Dean¡¯s hand, he remained silent for a long while.
From Ennis¡¯s expression, it was apparent that he was genuinely surprised by Dean McKenzie.
He even lit several cigarettes.
Despite multiple cigarettes, he still couldn¡¯tprehend how Dean McKenzie qualified for an S-Level evaluation on ¡°Goblin Uprising¡±.
Also, how Dean managed to enhance Bone Fang and Bone Shield to such an inhuman degree.
However, Ennis Hawkins didn¡¯t ask.
After finishing his cigarette, he waved at Dean McKenzie: ¡°I¡¯ll handle the rest.
You can go back and rest!¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Once Ennis spoke, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t say much, nodded, and turned to leave.
¡°Wait!¡±
Ennis called out to him, and Dean McKenzie turned around to see Ennis rummaging through Jay Murray¡¯s belongings. He tossed several items to Dean: ¡°These are your spoils of war. And you¡¯ve taken care of a one-turn evil cultist. I¡¯ll rmend you formendation, and you will get your previous rewards too!¡±
¡°Great!¡±
Holding the items, Dean McKenzie nodded and left the Goblin Forest.
Originally, Dean McKenzie nned to ask Ennis about his situation and talk to him about Jay Murray¡¯s condition.
If the enemy could set up such an altar in the Goblin Forest and strategically choose a time when Dean McKenzie was absent, the power behind them must be significant.
But before the words could escape his lips, Dean McKenzie swallowed them back.
It wasn¡¯t that he did not dare to say it, but rather saw no need to.
With Ennis¡¯s intelligence, he could see whatever Dean did and possibly even more.
If Ennis was unwilling to ask, Dean McKenzie saw no need to exin further.
All he needed to do was follow Ennis¡¯s steps.
Although Ennis arrived a bitte this time, he made it anyway, giving off an imposing aura in his speech.
Just listen to what he said.
¡®If the members of the Bloody Church dare to harm a hair on Dean McKenzie, Ennis would definitely use all his connections to fight till death with the Bloody Church.¡¯
Such a domineering statement, so¡
Upon further pondering, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but frown.
¡°Why do I feel something is off? It¡¯s kind of strange. Never mind, I¡¯m probably overthinking!¡±
Thus, Dean joyfully left the Goblin Forest and returned to South Hill Base.
After returning to his dormitory, Dean looked over the items left to him by Ennis.
There were three items in total.
The first was a bag, containing 5 Gold Coins and 12 Silver Coins when Dean opened it.
The second item was a weapon, that was Jay Murray¡¯s.
Equipment: Bloodthirsty de
Quality: ck Iron
Level: 20
Equipment Requirement: Warrior, Level 20
Effect 1: Increase attack by 20 points, strength by 8 points
Effect 2: Comes with Level 1 Bloodthirsty effect
¡°Not bad, I¡¯ll give it to Doggy Two and Doggy Three when they reach level 20!¡±
Thest one was a ring.
Equipment: Holy Light Ring
Quality: Bronze
Level: 21
Equipment Requirement: None
Effect 1: Comes with a Level 3 Holy Light Recovery (instantly recover 500 Mana or 100 Spirit Power, as well as damage at level 3 or below) (activates once every hour)
Effect 2: Holy Light Protection Level 3 (activate instantly when subject to damage, can resist 500 points of damage) (activates once every 12 hours)
Effect 3: Comes with Level 3 sh Light Skill (activates instantly, can blind an opponent for up to 5 seconds.)
Looking at this piece of equipment, Dean McKenzie fell silent; this item was clearly not from Jay Murray.
If Jay had this, it would have been an entirely different chapter to kill him.
This item, without a doubt, came from Ennis Hawkins.
Considering the ring, it was quite suitable for Dean McKenzie.
Dean had merely shown off his abilities and Ennis had observed Jay¡¯s body.
This was enough for Ennis to spot some issues with Dean¡¯sbat system: Magic power consumption, slow activation speed of Bone Shield, and most importantly,ck of control.
And these issues, Ennis solved simply by giving Dean a piece of equipment.
So much so, that when Dean McKenzie held this Holy Light Ring, he felt a bit uneasy.
¡°Damn it, isn¡¯t Ennis being a little too nice to me?¡±
Thinking back to what Ennis said just after appearing, Dean McKenzie felt even more anxious: ¡±1 think of Ennis as a big boss; he doesn¡¯t have any ulterior motives towards me, does he?¡±
¡°That doesn¡¯t seem right either, Ennis shouldn¡¯t be that type of person.
Besides, my looks are pretty average, at most.
And my attributes besides spirit, are all below average.
Does Ennis have a thing for frail people?
What if I use my free attribute points to make myself more masculine?
But what if Ennis likes me better then?¡±
In the midst of his thoughts, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face visibly paled.
However, it wasn¡¯t because of the reasons he just mentioned, that was just him teasing himself. He knew that Ennis was not that kind of person.
The main reason for Dean¡¯s unease was a clear awareness that the situation he was about to face could be extremely dangerous.
Otherwise, Ennis wouldn¡¯t have given him such a piece of equipment.
¡°Looks like I have to keep increasing my strength!¡±
While speaking, Dean looked at the 15 Elite Temte Fragments he still had¡.

In Spring City, the issuance of a warrant for Breanna Holt¡¯s arrest was like opening Pandora¡¯s Box.
The entire city was in an uproar.
Not too long after Breanna Holt was dismissed, Ennis Hawkins returned with the body of Jay Murray, along with the four victims.
Following this, the Professional Alliance of Spring City flew into a rage.
The audacity of the Bloody Church was intolerable!
They dared to conduct such a sacrilegious ceremony within Spring City.
And dare toy the me on Ennis Hawkins?
This was tant disregard for the boundaries set by Spring City and was courting death!
They would not allow any fallen professionals to behave so brazenly within Spring City!
So, the purge of the Bloody Church, who was behind Jay Murray, began.
Caught off guard, the Bloody Church¡¯s stronghold in Spring City was exposed within a single day.
What followed was a siege on the Bloody Church¡¯s hideout.
What surprised those in Spring City was the unexpected strength of the forces at the Bloody Church¡¯s hideout.
Even though they had been caught off guard.
The Bloody Church resiliently resisted for two full days.
It wasn¡¯t until the third day that Spring City seized the Bloody Church¡¯s hideout, wiping out their presence in the city.
Upon capturing the Bloody Church, Spring City obtained first-hand information regarding the Bloody Church¡¯s recent activities.
This included the ¡°Book of Dark Promotion¡± and ¡°Skeleton Cave Copy¡±.
Various signs pointed out.
For the past few months, the ¡°Bloody Church¡± has been operating in the shadows of Spring City.
With the Bloody Church captured, the skies of Spring City seemed to brighten up.
However, looking at the data offered, Ennis Hawkins couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brow.
Seeing him like this, the chairman of the Professional Alliance sub-division in Spring City pped him on the back not being able to resist saying, ¡°You¡¯ve taken down the Bloody Church. Everything¡¯s been taken care of, why are you still frowning?¡±
¡°I feel like it isn¡¯t that simple.¡±
¡°The timing is too perfect.¡±
Ennis Hawkins, rubbing his eyes, continued, ¡°I feel like things have gone too smoothly.
The Bloody Church appeared just as we were about to uncover some crucial information in our investigation regarding the Skeleton Cave Copy.¡±
¡°It¡¯s as though they either got scared after we found something out, or they had some important agenda.¡±
But it was to deal with that kid.
No, they weren¡¯t going after him at all. They were clearly provoking me!¡±
Ennis Hawkins said this, slowly removing his hands from his eyes.
The head of the subdivision frowned, ¡°Are you saying that the Bloody Church was just sacrificed by someone.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have solid evidence, but logic dictates they were probably a scapegoat!
Also, I won¡¯t rule out the possibility they used the church to achieve their own motivations.¡±
In any case, I am certain there is another group of fallen professionals hiding somewhere in Spring City.¡±
¡°So what¡¯s the n now? Do we continue investigating along the line of Skeleton Cave Copy?¡±
¡°By the time we were drawn by the Bloody Church, the culprits would have cleaned up the evidence there. I think if we investigate now, it might not be beneficial and it will only alert them that we¡¯re onto them.¡±
The chairman, hearing his words, decisively said, ¡°Then let¡¯s pretend to be ignorant for now!¡±
Outside Spring City, amidst the mountains in some stronghold.
In a pool filled with blood, a pale-faced individual emerged, watching in the direction of Spring City with hate-filled eyes.
Spring City, Mirror Stand.
Breanna Holt, who had been stripped of her position, was still in her office.
The chubby man who had temporarily taken over her role didn¡¯t dare rush her.
After all, despite losing her position, Breanna Holt was still able-bodied. He dared not provoke this formidable woman.
He spected that she must be seething right now.
However, he misjudged her this time.
At the moment, Breanna Holt was in quite a good mood.
She sat leisurely by the office window, a ss of red wine in her hand. As she read some intelligence reports, a deep, meaningful smile crossed her face.
¡°Sometimes, special measures are necessary!¡±
Spring City, South Hill Base.
For the past three days, the atmosphere at Dean McKenzie¡¯s end in South Hill Base had been rather calm and peacefulpared to the outside world.
Ever since Dean McKenzie returned to the base, he¡¯d barely set foot outside for several days straight.
But this didn¡¯t mean he wasn¡¯t doing anything productive.
For these past few days, he had been investing his time into leveling up his ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± skill.
In just a few days, Dean McKenzie sessfully raised the ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± skill to level 2, which was a slower ratepared to his other skills.
A level 2 skill allows one to summon a level 9 skeleton, with a maximum of six existing simultaneously.
Of course, the fruits of Dean¡¯s stay-at-home routine weren¡¯t limited to just this feat.
In addition to leveling up ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± to level 2, he summoned three of the four skeletons and individually enhanced each one.
Thanks to the endless sources of skeletons from the Land of Bone, he had managed to strengthen 3 elite-level skeletons for only 60 silver coins and 3 elite temtes.
As of now, Deanmanded five elite skeletons.
If any other Necromancer Apprentice could summon five elite skeletons as Dean did, they could easily sweep others of the same rank with just these five skeletons.
But Dean was unique.
As he held the enhanced ¡°Bone Fang¡± and ¡°Bone Shield¡± and looked at these five skeletons, his feelings were mixed.
It was aplexity of thoughts.
It seemed as if they were useful, but not quite effectively.
But if they were to face an opponent at Jay Murray¡¯s level, Dean felt that their usefulness would be limited.
Dean had to admit that the skeletons felt rather redundant in his current battle system.
However, this was inevitable considering the horrifying effects of the enhanced ¡°Bone Fang¡± and ¡°Bone Shield¡±.
On one hand, Dean was only a level 18 Necromancer Apprentice, but on the other hand, he aimed high and sought to match up with skilled warriors.
How could the average level 10 skeletons be of any help?
If Dean were to boost all these skeletons to level 20, theirbat capability would indeed be quite impressive, but still not as good as he wanted.
¡°It seems that if I need the skeletons to perform better in mybat system, I can¡¯t neglect strengthening the skill itself.
I¡¯ll have to prioritize enhancing the ¡®Summon Skeletons¡¯ skill.¡±
¡°However!¡±
Mentioning skill enhancement, Dean couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brow.
¡°I only have enough money for enhancing one skill at most!
What should I do if I run out of money!¡±
As soon as Dean spoke, themunication tool in his arms rang.
Oh, it¡¯s a call from Anthony!
Chapter 59 - 59: 059 Skeleton Mage
Chapter 59: 059 Skeleton Mage
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, South Hill Base!
After holing up in his dorm for three days, Dean McKenzie finally stepped outside.
Because Anthony had given him a call.
He informed him of two matters.
The first was that the issue with the Bloody Church was temporarily resolved.
The second was that his reward had been requested, but it wouldn¡¯t be handed to Dean right away. He needed to level up to Level 20 first!
Anthony did not beat around the bush but straightforwardly told Dean McKenzie about it.
The reward he had applied for Dean was rted to his One-turn promotion.
This was critically important for Dean¡¯s future career, so Anthony urged him to quickly level up to Level 20!
Thus, the Dean who hadn¡¯t stepped out for three days finally did.
He followed the usual course of heading to the trading zone first.
He sold all the stuff he had gotten from the Goblin Uprising Instance that he didn¡¯t need, including the reced Bone Ne, the ck Iron wind-themed magic wand he got from killing the Swiftwind Wolf King, as well as some potions made from Ashton ckweed by the old Goblin.
A massive clearance sale led to Dean¡¯s assets hitting an unprecedented high of 22 Gold Coins.
Pretty much about 2.2 million RMB!
This was a substantial windfall; one could buy a house in Spring City with this amount.
This was the closest Dean had evere in his life to owning a house of his own.
Regrettably, he was about to blow through this money quickly.
¡°No issue, I don¡¯t care. After all, I havend now ¨C the Land of Bone. I¡¯ll just build a big mansion on itter!
Let¡¯s go grind some monsters!¡±
Subsequently, Dean, who was carrying the enormous amount of 22 Gold Coins, headed straight for the fourth map of the South Hill Base, the Mermaid Lake.
The Mermaid Lake, as the fourth map of the South Hill Base.
The monsters there range level from 15 to 20. It¡¯s virtually impossible for the new generation of professionals to challenge them.
So, there¡¯s practically no one in this map.
Dean was probably the only person in the whole map, monopolizing a map to himself again.
Although the environment of the Mermaid Lake was quite unique.
The entire map was surrounded by argeke, with a massive Mermaid Ind in the center. The ind and theke were connected by wooden bridges resembling blood vessels.
Upon entering the map, the spawn point wasn¡¯t on the Mermaid Ind in the middle, but randomly on one of the wooden bridges.
This environment was quite unfriendly to the professionals.
Because at any moment, a mermaid might pop out from theke to backstab you.
Even if you could dodge their backstab, the mermaids could dive into theke where you couldn¡¯t touch them.
Not only could you not touch them, they might even mock you from a distance.
This map was extremely disgusting and messed with your mind.
Several professionals have had their mental state explode because of this map every year.
Countless professionals protested and demanded a different map, but the Spring City Officials refused to change it.
ording to the Spring City Officials, this map could greatly enhance the vignce of professionals and assist them in dealing withplex situations in the future.
Therefore, every professional from Spring City has developed a certain degree of disdain for fish after leaving the South Hill Base. Some even reached the point of wanting to sh any fish they saw.
But Dean wasn¡¯t scared at all!
You¡¯ve got to be kidding!
Deans¡¯ Invisible Shield, coupled with the 25% boost from his Level 3 Bone Hardening Trait, brought his defense up to 160 points!
What does that mean?
Any attack under 160 points would not damage Dean nor shake his defense.
With this defense, even a One-turn Jay Murray wouldn¡¯t be able to break it unless he used his ultimate ability.
He didn¡¯t believe that with his defense, he would still get his mentality wrecked by a mere Mermaid Lake.
Then, upon entering the Mermaid Lake, Dean¡¯s mentality exploded.
The main issue was that the mermaids in theke were extremely sleazy, approaching sneakily and aiming for below Dean¡¯s waist.
Even though Dean¡¯s defense was established and they absolutely couldn¡¯t break through it.
But no man could stand being poked around by a group of ugly-faced mermaids with a rotten stick, right?
Dean directly shot a super long-range Bone Fang, taking out the mermaids that once touched him and ran away, then surfaced to mock him from a distance of thirty to forty meters.
Then, Dean summoned all his skeletons from Doggy Two to Doggy Seven and sent them underwater.
Don¡¯t get me wrong, Dean didn¡¯t send them underwater to battle.
Although skeletons could go underwater, their agility was far less than that of the mermaids.
So, Doggy Two and the others¡¯ main function wasn¡¯t to fight, but to act as Dean¡¯s eyes.
Dean could see where the mermaids were underwater through them. His 50 points of Pration ensured that the trajectory of Bone Fang was pretty straight underwater, and then it would directly shoot out a Bone Fang.
Of course, this was just a strategy that Dean came up with on the spot.
In the beginning, Dean¡¯s strategy wasn¡¯t very effective.
After all, Dean couldn¡¯t see what Doggy Two and the others were seeing. He could only roughly aim at the positions based on the feedback from them.
The miss rate was quite high.
In the beginning, only one out of ten shots hit the target.
And that was purely by luck.
If it wasn¡¯t for the connection between Dean and Doggy Two and the others, which allowed him to generally sense their positions, he might have identally taken out Doggy Two and the others himself.
Although this strategy wasn¡¯t very handy initially, Dean didn¡¯t give up.
Driven by his hatred for the group of mermaids, Dean made rapid progress. Within half a day, he had basically achieved a sess rate of thirty percent.
Thirty percent might not seem like a high probability, but it had substantial killing power.
Moreover, Dean¡¯s firing range was as far as 65 meters.
A distance of 65 meters gave Dean enough time to fire several shots, thus, any target he set his eyes on was dead within three shots!
Once a mermaid was killed, Doggy Two and the others would bring the light points dropped by the mermaid, and even the body of the mermaid, back.
[You used the Talent [Extraction] on the [Carpfish Mermaid] (Level 15) (Ordinary), you gain 0.1 points of Strength, Agility, and Spirit!]
A single extraction lit up Dean¡¯s eyes.
Finally, he found a monster from which he could extract spiritual power. Dean¡¯s treasured [Fragile Skeleton Mage Temte], as well as the sixth skeleton, could finally be enhanced.
Following that, Dean went on a massacre, continually extracting and imbuing.
[You spent 5 Silver Coins to initiate the enhancement of [Doggy Seven]!]
[You spent 5 Silver Coins to imbue [Doggy Seven] with 5 points of Spirit!]

Chapter 60 - 60: 060 Pushing Across Mermaid Lake
Chapter 60: 060 Pushing Across Mermaid Lake
Trantor: 549690339
South Hill Base, Mermaid Lake.
Upon Dean McKenzie¡¯s tactical formation, his journey truly equated to cutting through chunks of watermelon effortlessly.
He didn¡¯t spare any merfolk he encountered.
Dean McKenzie further adopted his consistent strategy on these despicable merfolk ¨C scorched earth.
Basically, it was no mercy to the ones he chanced upon.
For this purpose, Dean McKenzie spent three days traversing all the wooden bridges in Mermaid Lake.
Hence, he single-handedly ughtered all the encounteredmon merfolk and managed to transfer as many of the elites as possible to the Land of Bone.
Over these three days, the number of merfolk falling by Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand reached into the thousands.
Dean McKenzie and his six dogs experienced a significant advancement in their levels.
Especially for thetter four dogs, they skyrocketed from level 8 to level 17 in merely three days.
However, Dean McKenzie had to spend 80 Silver Coins to fully upgrade their attribute points.
Meanwhile, Dean himself has reached the middle of level 19.
On the benefit side, Dean mostly saved the Elite Monsters, so the drops from thousands ofmon monsters only barely covered the cost of enhancing four dogs.
Regarding the elite monsters.
Dean noticed that there don¡¯t seem to be many elite merfolk residing in theke.
Currently, the Land of Bone holds only about 30 Merfolk.
30 elite merfolk might sound like a lot.
But take note that over these three days, Dean killed at least a couple of thousand regr merfolk.
To put things into perspective, one elite merfolkes into being for every fifty to sixty regr merfolk killed. This ratio is lower than expected.
Therefore, Dean figures that the elite merfolk should be residing on Mermaid Ind.
So, after almost eradicating the merfolk poption in theke, Dean set his sights on Mermaid Ind.
However, before initiating his attack on Mermaid Ind, Dean¡¯s first action was to call back Doggy Two and the other dogs.
There was no choice. Despite the terrifying defense of the Bone Shield, its equally terrifying cost was burning a hole in his pocket ¨C a whopping 100 Mana Points. Dean simply couldn¡¯t afford it.
So, he decided to single-handedly eradicate Mermaid Ind.
Otherwise, if the six dogs, each of which had already gobbled up at least 50 of his Silver Coins, were to die, he would indeed be at a loss.
In any case, he himself was capable of single-handedly piging Mermaid Ind.
But while calling back the dogs, Dean was once again reminded about his firm resolution ¨C to enhance the ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ skill.
Otherwise, raising dogs and not putting them to use would defeat the purpose of spending that money.
¡°First, enhance Meditation. Then, I will go all in on Summon Skeleton!¡±
Dean muttered angrily as he activated his Bone Shield and set foot on Mermaid Ind.
Just as he stepped onto the ind, a dozen fish spears, mixed with three blue water arrows, hit him.
¡®miss¡¯
The attack didn¡¯t even make a dent in his Bone Shield.
Dean swiftly scanned his surroundings. Heunched his Appraisal Skill and two merfolk profiles appeared before his eyes.

Skills: Merfolk Throw (Level 2), Underwater Breathing (Level 3), Water Arrow (Level 2), Water Wave Recovery (Level 1)
Equipment: Merfolk Magic Wand, Merfolk Robe
I have to say, the Mermaid Lake map is both nauseating and troublesome.
Even if the gamers manage to cross the precedingkes, they are immediately greeted by critical strikes when they get onto the shore.
The Merfolk Elite Monsters are formidable on their own.
What¡¯s worse, each wave consists of 15 merfolk, and there are 3 elite monsters among theming your way.
The total damage from their collective attack, I¡¯d say, would conservatively be between two to three hundred.
If the Bone Shield hadn¡¯t been upgraded, it probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand such an onught.
Unfortunately for the merfolk, they have met their match in Dean McKenzie who masters Level 2 Bone Shield.
The Level 2 Bone Shield has a fixed defense of 160. Although the merfolk cause damage between two to three hundred, they are unable to focus this into one single point, hence they can¡¯t get past the fixed defense.
Against Dean, these merfolk arembs for the ughter.
Dean stands firm, not backing down!
With each release of Bone Fang, he whittles down the normal merfolk one by one.
The remaining Elite Monsters, Dean strikes on their limbs, inflicting heavy damage, before sending them one by one into the Land of Bone.
To increase his collection of Elite Monsters, Dean¡¯s approach to clean out Mermaid Ind is different from the others.
Instead of attacking head-on, he goes around in circles.
He works his way towards the center of Mermaid Ind, going in circles.
The entire process isn¡¯t thrilling, but an absolute crush by sheer power.
With thebination of Level 1 Bone Fang, Level 2 Bone Shield and the ring given by Anthony, Dean is confident that he can crush any one-turn enemies, not to mention these Level 20 merfolk.
After a day¡¯s journey, Dean makes his way effortlessly to the most crucial part of Mermaid Ind, the Merfolk Tribe
What surprises Dean is that such a vast Merfolk Tribe is home to no more than 100 merfolk.
In reality, this is the most disgusting part of the Merfolk Tribe to gamers from previous generations.
What appears to be a not-so-strong tribe bes formidable once they invade it.
They would soon find out that fewer than 100 merfolk gather in a stronghold within the tribe and blow their horns at the same time.
The moment the horn sounds, all the merfolk scattered around Mermaid
Ind and Mermaid Lake regroup, marching in a densely packed manner that makes the invading gamers question their existence.
However, this time it¡¯s the merfolk¡¯s turn to doubt their existence when Dean shows up.
Their horns are blown to exhaustion, but not a single merfolk from Mermaid Ind and Mermaid Lake responds.
Mainly because they couldn¡¯t respond¡ªI mean, Dean had already wiped them all out.
So, fewer than 100 merfolk in the Merfolk Tribe could only shiver in their stronghold, watching helplessly as one merfolk is taken down by Dean¡¯s Bone Fang.
Once Dean eliminates the ordinary merfolk¡
He stops the Bone Fang attack, summons Doggy Two and equips them each with a Bone Shield, and then leads them into the attack.
In less than two minutes, all the remaining merfolk are taken down.
That even includes the Level 20 Elite Temte Merfolk Boss!
Name: Awakened Bloodline Merfolk Lord.
Temte: Excellent
Level: Level 20
Trait: Mental Sensing (D-ss) (Can increase the sensing range by 50%)

Looking at the attributes of the Merfolk Lord Boss, Dean doesn¡¯t hesitate.. He drags it to the Land of Bone and starts a Skill Enhancement!
Chapter 61 - 61: 061 Enhance Meditation
Chapter 61: 061 Enhance Meditation
Trantor: 549690339
In the Land of Bone, with Dean McKenzie bringing the elite mermaids of the Merfolk Tribe in, the number of elite mermaids in the Land of Bone has reached 98!
Although it¡¯s not as impressive as the previous upgrade in the Goblin Annex, the scale is still quiterge.
Dean McKenzie immediately chose to upgrade his skill,
[You have initiated the[Meditation]skill enhancement!]
Yes, despite having the [Holy Light Ring], which greatly satisfies the demand for mana, the skill that Dean McKenzie chose to enhance at this moment is still the meditation technique.
Firstly, the mermaids¡¯ attributes are quite suitable for enhancing the meditation technique, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s demand for mana has not beenpletely satisfied by the Holy Light Ring.
Secondly, the experience of Dean McKenzie¡¯s every use of the[Holy Light Ring]to recover his mana is not very pleasant.
Although mana can be recovered, every time during this process, Dean McKenzie always has the feeling of being surrounded by dozens of strong men.
This made Dean McKenzie tremble with fear, as if he might be purified at any
time.
After a few times, Dean McKenzie started to reject using this tool.
This cannot help, as Dean McKenzie¡¯s profession is Necromancer Apprentice, the exact opposite of the holy light, it¡¯s predictable that there would be some difort using the equipment of holy light.
¡°I hope that after upgrading the meditation technique, it can satisfy my daily mana needs, and let the recovery of the Holy Light Ring be ast resort!¡±
Dean McKenzie said this and began to get busy.
The same procedure, the same operation.
A group of elite mermaids were arranged in a row, as Dean McKenzie killed and extracted, he granted.
The system announcement was constantly refreshing throughout this process. [You killed the[Awakened Bloodline Mermaid](Elite) (Level 20) (97 m total), your level has been upgraded to level 20!] [Your spiritual power has increased to 40.1, mana limit increased to 401] [You have unlocked a new grant quota!]
[You sessfully used Talent Extraction on the 97(Awakened Bloodline Mermaids](Elite) (Level 20), gained 97 attribute points, and obtained [Water Wave Restoration Essences] (97 in total)!]
[You sessfully used Talent Extraction on thefMerfolk Tribe Leader](Excellent) (Level 20), gained 1 attribute point, and obtained [Sensing Enhancement fragment (Excellent)! ]
[You used 134 Silver Coins to enhance the 134 attribute points of the [Meditation] with the enhancement direction[Mana Recovery]!] [You used 20 silver coins to integrate the[Water Wave Restoration Essence]into the[Meditation], and obtained a trait[Mana Recovery ¡ö Water](Level 1)!] [You used 480 Silver Coins to absorb 96 Elite Evolutions as nourishment for the trait[Mana Recovery ¡ö Water]! ]
[You used 100 silver coins to incorporate the[Sensing Enhancement]into the traitfMana Recovery ? Water]!]
[Your skill[Meditation]has been sessfully upgraded!]
Due to the fact that[Meditation]is Single Force, the Gold Coins consumed are much less than the Dual Force Bone Shield. It only cost 734 Silver Coins in total.
But the effect of the enhanced[Meditation], made Dean McKenzie quite satisfied.
Skill: Meditation (Single Force)
Level: Level 3 (0/5000)
Basic Effect: Meditation Recovery (138 mana value recovery per minute)
Trait: Mana Recovery ¡ö Water (Level 3)
Effect 1: Activates traits within 50 meters of a water source, Meditation will operate automatically, recovering mana at 70% of the effectiveness of[Meditation Recovery].
Effect 2: Under the state where the trait is activated, it can sense conditions within a range of spiritual power multiplied by 0.5 meters, also enhancing the sensing skill effect!
This, is the skill of Meditation after enhancement.
After enhancement, the basic[Mana Recovery]of the Meditation technique
es to 138 points every minute.
At this point, including Dean McKenzie¡¯s equipment, the maximum mana value is only 921 points, which can be fully restored in six or seven minutes.
And that¡¯s just the basic effect.
If Dean McKenzie was near a water source, the effects of his meditation technique would be even more terrifying.
Without having to go into a meditative state, he could automatically recover
his mana and also activate a psychic sensing state.
Exactly what kind of state was this?
Dean McKenzie purposely left the Land of Bone and rushed to the side of the
ke to try it out.
The moment he did so, Dean McKenzie was astonished.
It was as though he opened the gates to a new world.
When in this state of psychic sensing, everything within a range of 25 meters was under McKenzie¡¯s perception, covering a full 360 degrees with no blind spots.
Furthermore, in this state, the activation probability of Wild Intuition would jump from 50 percent to between 80 and 90 percent.
It can be said that in this state, no one coulde up behind McKenzie, nor did he have to worry about getting ambushed.
This got Dean McKenzie quite excited.
However, after the excitement, Dean McKenzie¡¯s brow creased once more.
¡°This state might be great, but it has some limitations. It requires you to be near water. If I am not near water, the effect of my meditation loses its power. If only the meditation technique could always maintain this state, I wouldn¡¯t need to worry about mana exhaustion!
After Dean McKenzie had these thoughts, he realized he was asking for too much.
¡°Sigh, it¡¯s not like I can just carry ake on my back.
Wait a minute, perhaps I could!¡±
He was halfway through his musing when Dean McKenzie suddenly remembered that he owns the Land of Bone.
¡°Can I, construct ake in the Land of Bone?
Or more precisely, if I construct ake inside the Land of Bone, could the meditation state still be maintained?¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie decided to try it out, and entered the Land of Bone through the Gate of Bone.
The moment he stepped through the Gate of Bone, a look of joy spread across Dean¡¯s face.
¡°It works, the state is maintained. This means that if I can make ake in the Land of Bone, I could maintain this state anytime I want.
At the very least, when I want to be in this state, I can make myself be in this state.¡±
With the realization of the feasibility of his idea, Dean McKenzie became ecstatic.
¡°Isn¡¯t it easy to form ake in the Land of Bone?
Just dig a hole, open a gate, get some water and it¡¯s done!¡±
Dean McKenzie gets busy as he talks, directing Doggy Two and the others.
They find a basin in the Land of Bone, where McKenzie sets up a Gate of Bone that leads to Mermaid Lake.
Following the opening of the gate, a huge amount of water flows into the Land of Bone and quickly fills up the basin.
In just a few hours, an artificialke had been formed.
Afterward, Dean McKenzie entered the Land of Bone and with a slightly apprehensive feeling, he closed the Gate of Bone.
Once the Gate of Bone was closed and it became detached from the outside world, McKenzie was pleasantly surprised to find that he was still maintaining his state.
This left him rather thrilled.
He immediately ordered Doggy Two to bring the skeletons in the Land of Bone to him one by one to be killed, and he would then extract them one by one. This was for both the increase of his talent proficiency and for the testing of the artificialke¡¯s effects.
After all, it was artificial, McKenzie worried it would notst. As it turned out, his concerns were not unfounded.
The artificialke managed to sustain him only for two hours, providing McKenzie with 13,248 points of mana and allowing his talent proficiency to increase to 332.7/1000, before it began to wane.
Although he was somewhat disappointed with this oue, McKenzie found it eptable.
¡°It¡¯S the equivalent of always having arge potion of mana worth tens of thousands on me. If I add more water to thiske, perhaps it couldst even longer!¡±
Afterward, McKenzie emptied the spent water, and refilled it with new water. During this long and tedious process, McKenzie, now assured of the feasibility of his idea, finally had the time to see the gains from farming the Mermaid
Lake..

Chapter 62: 062 Acquiring Skeleton Temte
Trantor: 549690339
The main ie from the Mermaid Lake came from two ces.
One was the loot exploded from nearly a hundred elite monsters, the other was a ck iron treasure chest discovered in the Merfolk Tribe.
During the time Dean McKenzie was watering, he had opened all the loot and the chest.
Most of the elite monsters¡¯ loots came in pairs, while a few only had one.
For those that came in pairs, one was always a silver coin, and for those that had only one, well, it was the silver coin.
So, from nearly a hundred elite monsters, Dean McKenzie picked up nearly a hundred shining spots of silver coins.
The lesser ones had two or three, the more one had seven or eight.
In total, Dean McKenzie picked up more than five hundred, which roughlypensated for the cost of leveling up the Meditation skill.
Dean McKenzie currently had 20 gold coins left.
Having spent about 2 gold coins, Dean McKenzie could still afford a house, on the premise that he would not enhance other skills.
Aside from the money, there were also some potions, equipment.
Dean McKenzie looked over them very carefully and the more he looked, the colder his heart sank.
Perhaps it was the consequence of bullying.
Anyway, Dean McKenzie¡¯s loot drop rate this time was surprisingly low.
Out of nearly a hundred elite monsters, there was only one piece of ck iron equipment.
Name: Heart of the Mermaid (Magic Orb)
Equipment Quality: ck Iron
Equipment Level: Level 20
Equipment Requirement: Water Element Mage
Effect 1: +1 to Water Arrow skill
Effect 2: Increase spirit by 10 points
Effect 3: Increase water attribute skill damage by 20 points.
The equipment was decent, but Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t use it.
Not only he couldn¡¯t use it, but his Skeleton Mages also couldn¡¯t use it, so he just had to sell it.
Don¡¯t ask how upset Dean McKenzie was feeling. Luckily, a ck iron treasure chest offered some constion and a gold coin and a piece of ck iron equipment suitable for him.
Equipment: Mage¡¯s Apprentice Hat
Quality: ck Iron
Level: Level 20
Equipment Requirement: Mage ss, Level 20
Effect 1: Increase spirit by 8 points.
Effect 2: Increase Mana limit by 200 points.
Dean McKenzie happily put it on. His spiritual power and Mana limit went up to 58.1 and 1181 points respectively with the addition of the new equipment.
Just as Dean McKenzie put on the apprentice hat, themunication tool Anthony gave him rang.
¡°Have you reached Level 20?¡±
Anthony asked about Dean McKenzie¡¯s current level as soon as he opened his mouth, seeming somewhat anxious.
Caught off guard, Dean McKenzie answered honestly: ¡°Just reached it!¡±
Hearing Dean McKenzie¡¯s confirmation, Ennis Hawkins breathed an obvious sigh of relief, ¡°Good, I¡¯ve got something to deal with over here. I¡¯ll see you tonight!¡±
Before Dean McKenzie could respond, Anthony hung up themunication tool, leaving Dean McKenzie scratching his head.
¡°What¡¯s up with Anthony?
He seems so anxious. I was nning on leveling up my talent to level 2 in the Mermaid Lake before leaving!
Well, let¡¯s head back first!¡±
Dean McKenzie concluded his work in the artificialke and packed up to leave the Mermaid Lake.
After leaving Mermaid Lake, Dean McKenzie did not immediately return to his dorm, but first went to the trading area to clear out some unused items from the Mermaid Lake.
¡°Huh, how much is this thing?¡±
Dean McKenzie had just arrived at the trading area and had not yet set up his stall. He spotted something interesting on another stall.
[Fragile Skeleton Archer Temte]
This was something Dean McKenzie had exploded once before, and it was now disyed in aer of the stall.
Seeing someone interested in it, the stall owner tentatively quoted a price, ¡°1 silver coin?!¡±
Dean McKenzie tried to bargain, ¡±500 copper coins?¡±
¡°Deal!¡±
The stall owner readily agreed.
Apparently, he felt he had made a profit.
On the other hand, Dean McKenzie did not feel he had lost out.
Then, Dean McKenzie set up his stall. In addition to selling the equipment he had obtained from the Mermaid Lake, he also put up a sign ¡®High Price for Skeleton Temtes¡¯.
What Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t expect was that this impromptu sign brought a huge amount of traffic to his stall.
After all, the Skeleton Cave was one of the four major maps of the South Hill Base.
It¡¯s also the most mainstream map currently. Most of the base¡¯s map-maintaining energy is used on the Skeleton Cave, which is basically refreshed once a day.
Under this circumstance, although the temte drop rate is not high, quite a few people still have some.
Since this item is generally useless in the trading market and hard to liquidate, once Dean McKenzie put up his sign, those who had temtes naturally gravitated towards his stall.
Soon, Dean McKenzie received several dozen temtes.
Among them, [Fragile Skeleton Warrior) and [Fragile Skeleton Archer] temtes were the mostmon, totaling 57 pieces, while there were only 3 [Fragile Skeleton Mage] temtes.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie also cleared out the ie from the Mermaid Lake.
After selling the earnings from Mermaid Lake and deducting the cost of buying temtes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s assets increased to 24 gold coins.
As he watched his assets skyrocket, Dean McKenzie was ecstatic.
Upon receiving the money, Dean McKenzie was just about to pack up his stall and leave when a familiar voice called out, ¡°Wait, don¡¯t pack up yet, I have some Skeleton Temtes for you!¡±
Dean McKenzie was momentarily stunned and couldn¡¯t help but look up.
Looking up, he saw a familiar fiery figure rushing towards his stall, dropping ten or so Skeleton Temtes onto the stall.
After that, the young girl was about to haggle over the price with Dean McKenzie, but before she could even raise her head, she heard a familiar voice.
¡°Boss! Is that you, boss?¡±
Instantly, Bell Be froze.
The bargaining remarks she had prepared were immediately stuck in her throat.
She hung her head for a long time before finally lifting it to show Dean McKenzie a smile more sorrowful than tears.
¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me! Well, I heard you were buying temtes, so I happen to have a few. They¡¯re of no use to me anyway, so I might as well give them to you!
See youter!¡±
With that, Bell Be turned around with a sad face and left.
s, something she was going to sell for money was just given away for free.
She didn¡¯t want to give it away, but he called her boss!
¡°Well, let¡¯s just give it away. It wasn¡¯t going to fetch a good price anyway. I couldn¡¯t care less¡¡±
¡°Boss, catch!¡±
Just as Bell Be wasforting herself, a voice rang out from behind her again, apanied by the sound of an object whizzing through the air towards the back of her head.
In reflex, Bell Be turned her head and caught a cloth bag.
Holding the cloth bag, Bell Be tilted her head, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±
¡°A little gift in return for your favor!¡±
Pinching the bag, Bell Be felt that there were only three or four round items inside. Thinking they were a few silver coins, she didn¡¯t reject Dean McKenzie and epted it.
¡°Sounds good, see you!¡±
She swiftly put the cloth bag away, Bell Be waved at Dean McKenzie and walked away.
As for Dean McKenzie.
Watching Boss Be and the money he could have taken him a decade or even decades to save disappearing into the crowd, he finally retracted his gaze and lowered his head to look at the dozen Skeleton Temtes in front of him. Actually, he was looking at two specific temtes and couldn¡¯t help but sh a smile.
¡°This Boss Hammer is truly my lucky star!¡±
Chapter 63 - 63: 063 The Counterattack of the Fallen Professional
Chapter 63: 063 The Counterattack of the Fallen Professional
Trantor: 549690339
Among the dozen or so temtes that Bell Be had given him, besides themon ones like[Warrior][Archer][Mage], there were two temtes that Dean McKenzie had never seen before.
Temte: Fragile Skeleton Shielder Temte
Quality: Normal
Usage Requirement: Pale Skeleton, Physique at 2.5 points
Temte: Clumsy Skeleton Apprentice Assassin Temte
Quality: Normal
Usage Requirement: Pale Skeleton, Agility at 2.5 points
However, these two temtes were not the reason why Dean McKenzie gave Bell Be gold coins.
Correct, it was gold coins and not silver ones that he packed in the cloth sack.
Four whole ones!
The reason he gave so much was that Dean knew Bell Be hadn¡¯t recognized him before she came over. She was specifically here to sell temtes, and likely even battled specifically to collect these temtes.
Obviously, this bossdy was short on money.
Although Dean couldn¡¯t understand how someone as powerful as Bell Be could be so hard up for cash.
But that didn¡¯t stop Dean from helping her out to the best of his abilities.
Firstly, Dean had been somewhat influenced by his long acquaintance with Anthony.
Secondly, this bossdy had given him a lot more than the little cash he had given her in both the Skeleton Cave and the Goblin Forest.
So, Dean didn¡¯t mind giving her a little help.
Of course, being the stingy person Dean is, he grit his teeth and gave her four out of the 24 gold coins he possessed. If asked to keep just four and give out 20, he would sooner die.
He is a bit generous, but definitely not excessively so.
On the other side, Bell Be was ¡
After receiving the cloth sack from Dean, she went into a deserted alley with a despondent look, hugging and acting cute to the mysterious man at the end of the alley who was shrouded in a ck cloak.
¡°Little ck, I¡¯m so poor now, I don¡¯t even have the money to buy potions!¡±
The mysterious man brushed her off, held up a sign offering her sincere advice:[You won¡¯t be poor if you join the Professional Alliance!]
As for this suggestion, Bell Be resolutely declined: ¡°No thanks, I don¡¯t want to bind my life to such trifles. The world is vast and I want to explore it properly!
I want to climb the highest mountain, cross the biggest rivers, go beyond the seas, above the clouds, beneath the earth to see what it¡¯s all about.¡±
The moment she said that, Bell Be became totally excited, her small face flushed red.
The mysterious man opposite her then threw a bucket of cold water on her dreams.
[Right now, you can¡¯t even get out of South Hill Base!]
All of a sudden, the enthusiasm on Bell Be¡¯s face ceased. She became dejected, muttering angrily, ¡°Those damn mermaids!
Someday I¡¯m going to beat them up one by one and make fish soup with them!¡±
Obviously, she had visited Mermaid Lake once before and had a pretty bad experience!
She went in full of pride and arrogance, but came out with all her equipment damaged to the point of breaking and her all potions used up.
She just made a special trip to the Skeleton Cave to hunt some monsters in hopes of selling these temtes and earn some money to repair her equipment.
¡°Oh right, speaking of selling temtes, Little ck, do you know who bought them?
The young man I mentioned to you before!¡±
[And then you gave him the temtes for free again?]
¡°Of course not, I¡¯m not stupid to give them away free just because he called me a boss. While I needed money, I naturally asked him for it. I even haggled with him and asked for a high price that others wouldn¡¯t dare to ask!
Look here!¡±
Bell Be took out the cloth sack and waved it about before quickly tucking it back in.
[Open it!]
¡°You don¡¯t believe me? I told you I asked him for a very high price, but fine, fine, I¡¯ll open it!¡±
Seeing that she couldn¡¯t fool him, Bell Be begrudgingly took out the cloth sack, and as the tinkling sound of metal hitting metal resounded, four shining gold coins tumbled out.
Both of them were stunned.
This was especially true for the mysterious man. He was dumbfounded.
Asking someone for 4 gold coins for a dozen or so temtes was quite a theft!
¡°No way, I have to return the money to him!¡±
Bell Be quickly picked up the coins and set off to find Dean McKenzie.
An hourter, she returned with a despondent look again.
She couldn¡¯t find Dean. He had already packed up and gone home.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just consider it as borrowing from him. I¡¯ll pay him back doubleter!
Off to make money!¡±
Then, Bell Be used the money to repair her equipment, bought a ne with the [Underwater Breathing] effect, stocked up on potions, and proudly set off towards Mermaid Lake, ready to embark on her journey of revenge.
But as she entered, Bell Be was taken aback.
¡°Where are the fish?¡±
The Mermaid Lake hadn¡¯t refreshed yet. On a vast map, there wasn¡¯t a single alive fish!
Over at Dean¡¯s ce.
After buying the stuff from Be, Dean left the trading area and went to the library to borrow all the avable books regarding information about monsters.
Then he returned to the dormitory and started reading, waiting for Anthony¡¯s arrival.
Among the books about monster information, Dean first read two types: one about undead skeleton lineage monsters, the other about earth-element monsters.
This was all part of his preparation for upgrading his skills.
[Meditation] had just finished its upgrade and is now at level 3. Immediately following the first sessful upgrade, he could do the double upgrade.
And the first-sessfully upgraded[Mana Recovery Water] showed Dean the potential of this skill, or rather, of this trait.
If he could add another[Mana Recovery-Earth], he¡¯d be able to recover mana anytime, anywhere, even without the presence of the Land of Bone. How splendid would that be!
The monster information about the skeleton lineage was for the preparation of[Summon Skeleton]¡¯s upgrade.
However, just as Dean had started reading, he hadn¡¯t gotten into the groove of it yet when he heard a knock on his door.
Dean blinked in surprise.
¡°Is it Anthony? You¡¯re here quite early. Wait a second. I¡¯ll get the door!¡±
Next moment, the door to Dean¡¯s dormitory was opened.
And just as the door to Dean¡¯s dormitory opened, a figure rushed in. The long knife in his hand shed at the person who opened the door.
The long knife fell, and the assant was left dumbstruck.
The strike had indeed hit, but it didn¡¯t split Dean in half as he had expected. Instead, it hit a skeleton, smashing it to bits.
Obviously, it wasn¡¯t Dean who opened the door!
At the same time, Dean, who was behind Doggy Three, pped his chest, bemused. ¡°I knew it, Anthony never knocks!
Good thing I was a bit cautious. I didn¡¯t expect there to be a scoundrel trying to harm me!¡±
Upon hearing what Dean said, the stunned attacker nced at Dean, who was standing behind a Gate of Bones with a ton of skeletons surrounding him, and his face turned ck as night.
What do you mean being a bit cautious?
Regardless, what good does being cautious do? It¡¯s all about strength in thiswless world!

Chapter 64: 064 First Piece of Excellent Temte
Trantor: 549690339
Charge!
The neer activated his Charge skill in a split second.
He transformed into a shadowy figure, covering several meters in an instant, charging with force into the Gate of Bone, aiming straight for Dean McKenzie! As for the skeletons obstructing his path?
He didn¡¯t cast them a nce.
In his eyes, Dean, the Necromancer Apprentice, was overly cautious andcking wisdom.
Was he seriously expecting a group of skeletons to save his life from a first-turn warrior?
What a joke, what good could a pack of skeletons do in front of him?
He could crush them within minutes!
¡°Die for me¡damn it!¡±
The neer¡¯s roar was interrupted as Doggy Two instantly cast the Bone King skill.
Although the neer was a first-turn warrior, he fell into near one second of chaos under the mighty controlling skill Bone King.
Dean seized that opportunity and unleashed a single Bone Fang.
Then, there was no more ¡®then¡¯.
Within less than two meters distance, as the enemy fell into a second of confusion.
By the time he freed himself from the confused state, Dean¡¯s Bone Fang had pierced his forehead.
[You¡¯ve sessfully killed a Bloody Warrior (Level 24). Since you haven¡¯t undergone a job change, you cannot gain Experience Points!]
In less than ten seconds, a Bloody Warrior, three levels higher than the previous Jay Murray, disappeared.
Nevertheless, as this Bloody Warrior fell, Dean¡¯s temples started throbbing.
Wild Intuition activated.
Simultaneously, Dean, who was under sensory perception status, vaguely felt a presence approaching him.
Subconsciously, Dean activated Holy Light Protection.
Instantly, Dean felt as if he was being embraced by a muscr man, making himself feel uneasy!
But this feeling saved his life.
Jutting from the glow of the holy light, a dagger halted behind Dean¡¯s head, revealing an unknown figure.
The stranger¡¯s face changed, retracting his dagger to escape instinctively.
Dean instinctively activated the third effect of Holy Light Ring.
¡°sh Light Skill!¡±
A sh of holy light shone and Dean felt a prickly itch throughout his body.
The Skeleton Pupil Fire beside him became dim; if one didn¡¯t know better, they might think Dean was hurting himself.
The person on the other side was in worse shape; he was momentarily blinded.
Dean hurriedly took advantage of the situation andunched another Bone Fang.
In this close range and the enemy¡¯s blindness, Dean thought he would hit for sure.
What Dean didn¡¯t expect was¡no hit!
The enemy had very rich battle experience. Once blinded, they immediately used a skill to retreat towards the right rear side, avoiding the Bone Fang attack.
With such a wealth of experience, terrifying speed, and the earlier invisibility ability.
If Dean were alone, he wouldn¡¯t have stood a chance against him.
But he was unlucky; Dean was not alone.
The enemy was experienced, but Dean¡¯s reaction was quick. He almost instantly manipted the Skeleton Mage to fire a Little Nether me Ball.
At the same time, Doggy Two wasmanding the skeletons to swarm.
Dense Skeletons constantly closed the space around the Assassin. Yet, it still took Dean another three Bone Fang attacks before he could hit.
And it even just grazed by his scalp.
It was only the fourth Bone Fang that hit his shoulder, and the fifth that pinned him to the ground. In the end, the Assassin was squeezed by Doggy Two and the others. Dean managed to take him down only on the sixth Bone Fang.
This fight, although Dean controlled from the beginning, was still nerve-racking!
¡°These Assassins really are scary.¡±
While experiencing the thrill, Dean¡¯s eyes were also exceptionally bright.
After all, he already acquired the Skeleton Assassin temte.
Dean was silently resolved to cultivate a higher-graded Skeleton Assassin when he got back.
At the moment Dean brought down the Assassin, Anthony¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°A first-turn warrior and an Assassin, both dealt with in two minutes and twenty-three seconds. Not bad!¡±
Dean turned his head at the sound and realised that Anthony had been in the dormitory without him knowing when.
Clearly, Anthony had arrived long before.
Stephenson smirked, prepared to speak, but Anthony beat him to it; ¡°What are you looking at me for? I¡¯ve recorded your merits. Hurry and collect your spoils. We¡¯re running out of time!¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
Stephenson gleefully collected the spoils off the two bodies, hesitated for a moment, and casually Extracted from them.
[Extraction from the Bloody Warrior has failed!]
[Extraction from the Bloody Assassin is sessful. You¡¯ve obtained 1 point Agility, and an Excellent Temte Fragment!]
The Assassin surprisingly held an Excellent Temte, a pleasant surprise for Dean.
However, what was even more surprising was that Anthony had not noticed when he used his Extraction on the two. This was undoubtedly good news for Dean, greatly reducing the chances of exposing his talent.
Compared to these two, the items on the Bloody Warrior and Bloody Assassin were not as satisfying to Dean.
Between the two of them, they only had 4 Gold Coins, just enough to reimburse Dean¡¯s loan to Bell Be.
As for the equipment, a dagger and a de, both ck Iron Equipment but they¡¯re both first-turn level 21 equipment, needed a minimum of level 21 to equip, so Dean could only store them away for now.
Dean quickly collected the items and closed the Gate of Bone before heading over to Anthony.
¡°Anthony, what is the deal with them? Are the Fallen Professionals so bold now?¡±
Anthony sneered at Dean¡¯s question: ¡°Do you have a misunderstanding about Fallen Professionals? What do you mean by ¡®so bold now¡¯?
They¡¯ve always been bold, okay?
However, their target on you is indeed rted to the previous incident. We¡¯ve taken out Bloody Church¡¯s base in these few days.
You¡¯re facing reprisals from the remnants of the Bloody Church.
By the way, you are now being targeted by the Bloody Church.¡±
Dean was unfazed by Anthony¡¯s words. The Bloody Church¡¯s attacks were generally weak and Anthony arrived timely, making Dean confident and not too worried.
¡°Let them target me, every fibre of my being is against drug addiction!¡±
Anthony promptly gave Dean a kick in his butt.
¡°Quit messing around!
Also, your current attitude needs adjusting. Don¡¯t underestimate the Bloody Church; their two failed operations against you were a result of them misjudging your strength.
The same mistake, they could make it twice, but they definitely won¡¯t make it a third time.
If they take action against you again, a second-turn professional wille at least, even a third-turn professional is not impossible!¡±
Anthony¡¯s words startled Dean, turning his face pale.
Seeing Dean get scared, Anthony satisfiedly nodded: ¡°Let¡¯s go, time to make your career transition!¡±
Should we do the two-chapter update at 18:00ter, right?
Chapter 65 - 65: 065 Promotion Temple
Chapter 65: 065 Promotion Temple
Trantor: 549690339
Ennis Hawkins led Dean McKenzie, tearing apart a scroll, and, as the stars whirled around them, they arrived in front of a building.
It was a three-tiered tower-like building.
About thirty meters high, the structure showed no trace of nails or bricks; it waspletely unified and its overall color was a heavy ck iron.
A banner hung on the tower with the words ¡°Promotion Temple¡± written on it. As Dean gazed at the building in front of him in astonishment, Ennis started to exin.
¡°For every profession, once they reach level 20, they need to undertake a Promotion Trial.
Only bypleting this trial can they sessfully advance.
Only then can professionals continue to gain experience and further enhance their level!
There are two mainstream ways for professionals to advance their roles.
One is to find a Promotion Temple and sessfully advance bypleting the trial in the temple.
Another is to use a promotion item to start the Promotion Quest andplete the task sessfully.¡±
As soon as Anthony mentioned this, Dean¡¯s attention was immediately caught, and he asked, ¡°Is there any difference between the two methods of advancement?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no difference in the final oue, the difference lies in the process. The second method ofpleting a promotion by using a promotion item orpleting a promotion task can be luck-dependent, as the tasks thate up are mostly random.
Nobody knows what kind of task will appear.
Some Promotion Quests are simple, but others are quite outrageous, and you can¡¯t easily abandon a Promotion Quest. Once it is abandoned, the difficulty of the next task will definitely increase, and you might end up stuck in a Promotion Quest.
Compared to the second type, the first type of advancement through the Promotion Temple is rtively stable.
It s basically a map-based challenge.
So, if possible, professionals tend to choose to advance through the Promotion Temple.
The only problem is the requirement of specific materials needed each time you initiate the Promotion Trial.
Different types of trials require different items.¡±
Different types of trials? There are difficulty grades for the trials?¡±
¡öAbsolutely, there are three difficulty levels for the initial Promotion: simple, normal, and difficult!¡±
¡°So, the results from passing different difficulty levels of trials are different as well¡±
¡°Yes, if you pass a simple difficulty trial, your four-dimensional attributes increase by thirty percent.
If you pass a normal difficulty trial, your four-dimensional attributes increase by forty percent.
And if you manage to pass a hard difficulty trial, in addition to your four-dimensional attributes increasing by fifty percent, your attack and defense, even your mana, spirit power would also increase to some extent.
Plus, you might awaken a level one skill!¡±
Hearing this, Dean took a deep breath.
Hastily, he asked, ¡°So, Anthony, what about my trial?¡±
Ennis knew what Dean wanted to ask and responded immediately: ¡°I have prepared your trial for you. I used the rewards from your previous two achievements to exchange for it and prepared the top-level material for your first promotion.
It allows you to attempt the most difficult trial!
However, you only have two chances!¡±
¡°Two chances?¡±
Dean squinted.
¡°What? Are you worried? With your strength, you should be able to pass on your first try. The second chance is just a backup.
Even if your luck is bad and you fail both times, it¡¯s not a big deal. You conveniently have two extra bounties, and I¡¯ll find a way to help you¡.¡± ¡°No, what I was thinking is, since the materials are exchanged with rewards then if I pass on my first try, could the remaining attempt be reced with cash?
I feel like these materials should be quite expensive¡¡±
¡°Beat it!¡±
Feeling that his goodwill was being taken for granted, Anthony swiftly gave
Dean a kick, sending him flying into the Promotion Temple
Anthony followed him into the temple.
Dean was just kicked into the Promotion Temple. Before he had a chance to look around his surroundings, system notifications started to sh before his eyes.
[You have entered the Promotion Temple, and it is detected that you have reached level 20. Do you wish to start your first Promotion Trial?] ¡°Yes!¡±
Dean nodded subconsciously.
The system notification refreshed again.
[It has been detected that your profession is[Necromancer Apprentice], To start regr mode promotion requires 50 Silver Coins and three pieces of level 20 ck Iron Necromancer Materials.
Opening normal mode requires 80 Silver Coins, 6 pieces of level 20 ck Iron Necromancer Materials.
Beginning hard mode requires 1 Gold Coin, 3 pieces of One-turn ck Iron Necromancer Materials! ]
As the system notification came up, Dean chose hard mode while calling out ¡°Anthony!¡±
¡°All sorted!¡±
As Anthony¡¯s voice fell, the system notification refreshed once again.
[Conditions have been met, please proceed to the second floor to start the Promotion Trial!]
As the final system notification refreshed, a staircase leading to the second floor appeared in front of Dean¡¯s eyes.
Looking at the newly appeared staircase, Anthony patted Dean on the back.
Go on, be careful. If you manage to pass the first time, I¡¯ll cash in the remaining materials for you!¡±
It was clear that Anthony knew how to motivate Dean. With just one sentence, he filled Dean with determination!
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll definitely pass the first time and show you!¡±
With that, Dean stepped onto the staircase leading to the second floor.
As he continued upwards, the stairs he left behind disappeared one by one.
The minute Dean stepped onto the staircase, his test began. There was no way back, as retreat equaled failure.
Very quickly, Dean reached the end of the stairs on the second floor. Here, Dean saw a giant gate.
As Dean was about to open the giant gate, a sudden thought came into his mind.
¡°Wait, I should allocate my Free Attribute Points before I go in. It would be a disaster if I couldn¡¯t allocate them afterwards.¡±
After all, passing the trial would increase his attributes by fifty percent, which is equivalent to 12.5 attribute points.
So, Dean opened his attribute board, hesitated for a moment, and gave himself
2 points each in Strength and Agility, leaving the remaining 21 points to be allocated to Physique.
The reason for this distribution was primarily because Dean had a talent that could increase his Spiritual Power.
For Strength and Agility, as a stationary output bunker, it¡¯s not necessary to add too many points. Adding two points was enough for symbolism.
Adding points to Physique was the key.
It wasn¡¯t about the slightly improved defense.
In fact, the benefits of adding Physique didn¡¯t lie in that minimal defense, but rather in the enhancement of Dean¡¯s overall stamina after adding 21 points to Physique.
With his stamina improved, Dean could perform any task more persistently.
More importantly, his vitality also increased.
He didn¡¯t have to worry about being directly taken down by someone with a quick blow.
Afterpleting his point distribution, Dean let his pets out.
It wasn¡¯t that he was worried he couldn¡¯t summon themter, but because past experiences had taught him to be cautious.
Bringing the Skeletons inside was much more convenient than summoning themter.
Dean even gave each of them a shield.
Once everything was ready, Dean, apanied by Doggy Two and the others walked into the Gate of Trials with an imposing manner..
Chapter 66 - 66: 066 Trigger Nightmare Mode
Chapter 66: 066 Trigger Nightmare Mode
Trantor: 549690339
No sooner had Dean McKenzie stepped into the Gate of Trials than the system¡¯s prompt updated.
[You have sessfully entered your Land of Trials. The trial will begin in 30 seconds!
After 30 seconds, you will activate a Taunt Aura with a radius of 10 meters!
ps: All monsters within this aura will attack you until they are killed!
pss: The aura will expand at a rate of one meter per minute!
psss: Please persist in the Land of Trials for at least 6 hours!]
[The trial has begun!]
By the time these two system prompts were updated, the 30 seconds had ended.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t even have time to look at his surroundings before the power of the Taunt Aura took effect.
¡°I can feel it, power is welling up. Is that the Taunt Aura?
And wait, that isn¡¯t it. It¡¯s the power of [Meditation]. There¡¯s water nearby!¡±
His eyes lit up at once.
He turned his focus to the environment around him.
Sure enough, there was a raging river not far from his left, and towards his right rose a rather sinister-looking mountain range.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw the river, his eyes practically popped out of his skull.
He was overjoyed, grinning like an idiot.
Especially when the Taunt Aura kicked in and bald, green-skinned creatures wearing conical hats emerged continuously from the river, his smile was even more splendid.
Name: Stunted Inferior Kappa
Level: 20
Temte: Ordinary
Stats:
Strength: 3, Agility: 3, Physique: 3, Spirit: 9
Mana Attack: 9 (5)
Defense: 1.5 (3)
Skill: Water-spitting Attack (level 3), Water Ball (level 3)
Equipment: Kappa Hat, Kappa Magic Ball
Starting with a level 20 monster, the Difficult Level trial does seem somewhat challenging.
Not so much for McKenzie, though.
He didn¡¯t even need to lift a finger himself; Doggy Two and his buddies took care of the monster for him.
His job was just to raise his hand and make a pull.
[You sessfully used Extraction on the [Stunted Inferior Kappa], obtaining 0.1 Strength and 0.3 Spirit!]
Each little monster yielded 0.4 Attribute Points. After a round, that was four or five Attribute Points.
Though he couldn¡¯t add them, he could use them to elevate his Talent proficiency!
Plus, with the river there, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t need to worry about exhausting his Mana.
In less than ten minutes, Dean McKenzie had cleared two or three rounds, and his Talent proficiency had shot up by one or two dozen points.
And, starting from the fourth round, among the monsters that emerged were no longer just Ordinary Temtes. Elite Monsters started howling and charging towards him too.
An Elite Monster, in Dean McKenzie¡¯s view, was equivalent to one proficiency point and a piece of Elite Temte Fragment.
Before, Dean McKenzie had to scour the area to find them, but here they came running towards him of their own ord.
And all of them were level 20 monsters; they were basically exhibiting themselves.
This was less of a trial challenge¡
And more of a trial boon!
¡°What? 6 hours? Tell Anthony, I¡¯m not going back, I¡¯m gonna max out the [Extraction] Talent on this map!¡±
The only thing that soured Dean McKenzie¡¯s mood a little bit was¡
Perhaps because this was a trial map, the monster drop-rating in here was significantly low. Despite having in hundreds of them, only several glimmering drops emerged.
Whatever came out was quite poor in quality.
Dean McKenzie, who was initially quite ecstatic about increasing his Talent proficiency and Temte Fragments, momentarily lost his cheeriness.
¡°Ah, if only the drop-rate was the same as outside, how wonderful would it be!
That way, I could earn more money, level [Bone Fang] up to 3, and turn [Bone Fang] and [Meditation] into a dual force, and [Summon Skeleton] into a strong force!
After the Talent levels up, I can then boost our attributes, including Doggy Two¡¯s ¨C wouldn¡¯t we just be invincible then?¡±
Indeed, assuming it were as Dean McKenzie had said, they wouldn¡¯t need to worry about bing invincible; a massive surge in power was a guarantee. ording to estimates, they would do just fine even against monsters of the Second or Third turn.
Regrettably, in the face of the so-called ¡°Cash Cow¡± ¨C the Promotion Temple, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t able to pull off this stunt.
Not only had the drop-rate from monsters stooped to its lowest, but the monster spawn rate had also declined after Dean McKenzie had furiously in them for two to three hours.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie received a system prompt from the Promotion Temple.
[Your excellent performance during the trial has triggered a condition,pleting the Difficult Mode of the trial. Do you want to terminate the trial?]
This made McKenzie feel quite aggravated.
What¡¯s the meaning of this?
Can not keep up?
Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be six hours?
I¡¯ve only been grinding for 3 hours and you¡¯re calling it quits? Are you giving up already?
Mckenzie took a nce at his Talent proficiency.
Within these three hours, his Talent proficiency had soared to [732/1000].
His proficiency had increased by nearly 500 points, meaning that McKenzie had killed at least a thousand or two monsters.
In reality, Mckenzie hadn¡¯t quite killed thousands of monsters, but he¡¯d in quite a few Elite Monsters. He currently had as many as 78 Elite Temte Fragments.
Given such a prime location, how could Dean McKenzie be willing to give up just like that?
¡°The least I could do is level up my Talent before I leave!¡±
And so, Dean McKenziepletely ignored this system prompt and continued killing monsters.
If monsters didn¡¯t approach him, he would approach the monsters.
He followed the river downstream, scouring and shing at every monster he came across.
However, whether it was due to him being too brutal earlier or the monsters deliberately avoiding him¡
As he progressed for half an hour, he was only able to kill around a hundred monsters.
This made McKenzie furrow his brows.
Just then, a new system prompt updated.
[Due to your exceptional performance, you have triggered the Hidden Mode of [Promotion Trial], Your trial difficulty will now increase from [Difficult Level] to [Nightmare Level]!]
During the same moment, outside the trial map in the Promotion Temple¡
An ear-piercing rm rang in Ennis Hawkins¡¯s ears.
[Attention, please note, the trial taker who used your provided materials has had their trial difficulty raised to [Nightmare Level], You have insufficient materials, please make up for the required materials within 10 minutes.
Otherwise, this trial will be settled at the [Difficult Level]!]
Ennis Hawkins was taken aback by the abrupt rm.
¡°What situation is this? What in the world did that kid do in there?¡±
While speaking, Ennis Hawkins opened up the list of materials that needed to be replenished.
[50 Gold, one piece of Silver-grade necromancy attribute material of the
One-turn level!]
Seeing the material inventory, Ennis Hawkins¡¯s expression turned sour.
To give or not to give, that is the question.
After hesitating for roughly three seconds, Ennis Hawkins picked up amunicator and made a call to the branch president of the Spring City Professional Alliance.
The president¡¯s kind voice came from the other end: ¡°Ennis, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Cautiously, Ennis Hawkins said: ¡°Uh, can I¡can I get an advance payment of my sry?¡±
¡°No, get lost!¡±
The kind-hearted president of the Alliance suddenly exploded: ¡°Your sry has already been advanced until 20 years from now!¡±
Chapter 67 - 67: 067 Bone Fang Level 3
Chapter 67: 067 Bone Fang Level 3
Trantor: 549690339 |
Land of Trials!
Within less than five minutes of receiving the system notification about the upgrade of his trial level to Nightmare level, Dean McKenzie was officially subjected to a Nightmare level trial.
[Your trial level has been sessfully updated to Nightmare level, the trial mission has changed!]
[Your Taunt Aura will be pushed to its limit, please endure this state for at least
ihour!]
Two system prompts refreshed unremarkably.
The next second, Dean¡¯s Taunt Aura was maxed out.
At that moment, the power of taunting materialized directly, Dean could clearly feel a force exploding from the top of his head, spreading out like waves, instantly extending several hundred meters.
Moreover, this force did not seem to have any intention of stopping; it swept all the way, disappearing from Dean¡¯s sight.
Dean had no doubt that this Taunt Aura might have covered the entire Land of
Trials.
However, after the Taunt Aura was released, no monster immediately swarmed from Dean¡¯s surroundings.
A period of calm ensued.
But Dean knew very well that this was the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, after a while, the Taunt Aura, which had been maxed out, started to work.
Kappas began to appear in the river.
Unlike before when Dean couldn¡¯t find them no matter how hard he tried,
this time, Kappas came raging like a flood.
As if a nest of Kappas was stirred, hundreds, even thousands of Kappas continuously emerged within a few dozens of meters of the river section where Dean was. They rushed over relentlessly.
The scene was extremely terrifying!
Dean¡¯s face darkened.
¡°I knew that the Nightmare mode of the trial would be harder than the Difficult mode, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be this much tougher! This mode doesn¡¯t seem to intend for anyone to pass, does it?¡±
Frantic, Dean tried to activate the Gate of Bone to summon the Skeletons.
But what responded to him was a cold system prompt.
[The Gate of Bone cannot be used while you are in the Land of Trials!]
Summoning was not possible!
Dean was already prepared for that.
¡°We have to run!¡±
Dean quickly had Doggy Two carry him and run away.
He was not arrogant enough to face-off against thousands of Kappas on his
own.
If he got surrounded, even with the powerful enhancements he had, he would be done for.
So, Dean quicklymanded Doggy Two to carry him while Old Seven, as a Skeleton Mage, began to flee all-out.
Generally, when enemies came from the river, Dean was supposed to run in the opposite direction.
However, Dean did not choose to go that way.
If he ran in that direction, without a water source, he would face grave danger if he encountered arge number of enemies while being out of Mana.
Hence, Deanmanded Doggy Two to go in the direction from which the enemies came.
Old Seven, Doggy Two, Doggy Three, Doggy Four, Doggy Five, and Doggy Six formed a blockade and ran while Dean and Doggy Seven were in charge of attacking.
To be precise, Dean was the one in charge of attacking.
The current situation was especially suitable for Dean.
His Bone Fang attacks were strong, had a pration effect, and a long range.
He could kill several Kappas with one attack.
The only problem was that the attack speed was slow, although Dean was quite familiar with the chanting, it still took nearly a second tounch a Bone Fang attack.
Given the current situation, the output of Bone Fang was rather limited against the hordes of Kappas in the hundreds or thousands.
However, the situation that faced Dean was not entirely bad.
Under such circumstances, the pressure the Kappas put on Dean helped him to concentrate more on the chanting of Bone Fang.
This enabled Dean to level up his Bone Fang skill, which had been stuck at the end of level 2, to level 3 with a burst of effort.
[Your Bone Fang skill has been upgraded to level 3!]
With level 3 Bone Fang, the base damage increased from 1.5 times his Spirit plus 30, to 1.6 times his Spirit plus 40.
The power had increased considerably, but it was not much help for Dean¡¯s current situation.
Dean was still in a state of being chased around by the Kappas.
It took him several hours to relocate to the ce where the Nightmare mode was activated earlier, yet he fled back to the starting point in just 15 minutes.
His situation had not changed at all.
More Kappas were still chasing from behind, and not only was there no decrease in numbers, but it seemed like there were even more of them.
Dean could only continue upstream along the river.
However, soon, Dean had no choice but to stop.
There was no road ahead.
A huge stone wall had blocked the river, obstructing Dean¡¯s path.
At this point, Dean had no choice but to abandon the river.
But by the time he wanted to abandon the river, it was toote. When he wanted to leave, he found out that the direction towards the forest had been blocked by the Kappas as well.
That is to say, Dean had reached a dead-end.
Now he only had two choices, either make a desperatest stand, or admit defeat and retreat the way he hade.
Unwilling to simply retreat, Dean had no choice but to fight.
All he could do was order Doggy Two to retreat towards the stone wall. They came to the foot of the stone wall and prepared to fight back with their backs against the wall.
Before the fight began, Dean put Old Seven, who was out of Mana, away. At the same time, he equipped two of his dogs with the highest agility with shields and made them responsible for direct defense, while the three dogs guarded the nks.
Dean was the main attacker; one shot of Bone Fang took away a string of
Kappas.
With his formidable Bone Fang, Dean managed to fend off the Kappas at first.
But Dean knew his own situation.
This was merely because the Kappas behind them had not arrived yet; once they arrived, he would not be able to hold his ground.
¡°I must think of a solution, otherwise, it will be very challenging to hold on for an hour!¡±
As much as he said that, what could Dean do under such circumstances?
The only solution was his talent, and the remaining 24 Gold Coins. ¡±This money can still be used to upgrade a skill, but which one should I upgrade?
Bone Fang? Summon Skeleton? Or my Meditation skill?
Which skill is more suitable for our current situation?¡±
While Dean was contemting on this, a cyan water arrow was shot towards him.
But the direction was slightly off, it was not aimed at them, but at the sky above Dean.
Soon, the cyan water arrow stopped in the air, then with a ¡®pop¡¯ sound, it split into seven or eight smaller water arrows and fell towards them.
¡°Plop!¡±
In Dean¡¯s party, the unlucky Doggy Three was directly hit on the forehead, its skull was shattered, and it was instantly destroyed.
However, at this moment, Dean didn¡¯t have the heart to feel sad. His eyes quickly shifted from Doggy Three and fell on the Kappa that had shot the water arrow.
Afterunching the appraisal skill, Dean¡¯s eyes shone with excitement!
Chapter 68 - 68: 068 2 Strong Bone Fang, Talent Upgrade
Chapter 68: 068 2 Strong Bone Fang, Talent Upgrade
Trantor: 549690339
Name: Mastery of Explosive Kappa
Level: Level 20
Temte: Excellent
Traits: Split Attack (D) (Actively activated, allowing mana skills to split into 8 attacks, each attack damage is a fixed 50% of skill damage!)
Attributes:
Strength: 3. Agility: 3. Physique: 3. Spirit: 39
Mana attack: 19 (15)
Defense: 1.5 (5)
Skills: Water-spitting Attack (Level 3), Water Shield Technique (Level 3), Water Arrow (Level 3)
Equipment: Exquisite Kappa Fight Hat, Exquisite Kappa Magic Ball
The moment he saw these attributes, Dean McKenzie eximed!
¡°Let¡¯s use the essence of this kappa to enhance Bone Fang!¡±
The weight in Dean¡¯s statement echoed with utmost resonance and an unyielding spirit.
It seemed as if it was already a done deal.
He did not consider for a second whether he could obtain the essence of the kappa or not, in reality, there was indeed no need for him to ponder over it.
If the kappa had not made the first move, attracting Dean¡¯s attention, it might have evaded his notice, but now that it had incited Dean¡¯s attention, its doom was inevitable.
Although the kappa was standing almost forty meters away from Dean, hiding behind a group of other kappa, and seemingly protected by a water-blue shield, it meant nothing in Dean¡¯s eyes.
Pursued by Dean, there was only one fate for it, death.
The question was whether it would die from one or several Bone Fang attacks.
¡°Puff!¡±
Deanunched his first Bone Fang attack, a projectile that tore through the forty-meter distance andnded on the kappa.
The water shield defense of the kappa was exceptional, with a high value of seventy to eighty, nearing the strength of a single Bone Shield, yet it was pierced by the Bone Fang.
The 50 points of pration damage hit the fragile kappa, immediately taking away this excellent level kappa.
¡°Charge!¡±
Dean quicklymanded Doggy Two and the others to rush forward. After all, the casting range of the talents was not as far as Bone Fang, only reaching fifteen meters.
The kappa¡¯s back-line was not yet in ce, so a fifteen-meter rush was not a challenge for Doggy Two and the rest.
Soon, Dean arrived within the casting range of his talents, and the first thing he activated was the Bone Fang enhancement.
[You have opened the enhancement assignment for the Bone Fang Skill!]
[You have sessfully used Extraction on the Mastery of Explosive Kappa, gaining one spirit attribute and the Split Attack essence!]
[You spent 100 silver coins to fuse Split Attack essence into the Pration Trait. Pration Trait has mutated!]
Please name the new trait.]
[You named the new trait Attack Enhancement!]
From this point, Dean activated the enhancement of Bone Fang.
Hence, Dean went into mad extraction mode.
He kept extracting the bodies of the fallen kappa around him, putting all the extracted attribute essences into the Bone Fang skill.
With the aid of Meditation, Dean¡¯s mana was automatically replenishing at a rate of 96.6 per minute.
But the amount of mana was nowhere near enough for the present Dean.
Left with no choice, Dean consumed arge number of mana potions, even deploying the Holy Light Ring.
While consuming potions like a madman, Dean was trying his best to use Extraction.
The battle was basically handed over to Doggy Two and the others by Dean. This resulted in a huge increase in pressure for Doggy Two and the others.
It also made Dean¡¯s situation critical. Dean, who had just broken out fifteen meters, was quickly pressed back against the stone wall.
Fortunately, Dean¡¯s deployment of talents remained undeterred even amidst such adversity.
Many kappa had previously fallen around him.
Arge number of them were elite level kappa, which Dean was specifically extracting at that moment.
Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, the essence he could extract was no less than what he had meticulously prepared before.
Within five minutes, Dean had extracted a total of 88 essences and 122 attribute points.
[You spent 244 silver coins to add 122 attribute points to the Bone Fang skill attack!]
[You spent 100 silver coins to fuse Long Distance Shooting into the Attack Enhancement trait!]
[You spent 880 silver coins to use 88 pieces of essence to enhance the Attack Enhancement trait!]
[Your skill Bone Fang has been enhanced for the second time!]
Apanied by a series of system prompts, Dean¡¯s Bone Fang skill was enhanced for the second time. Simultaneously, the attribute of Bone Fang¡¯s second enhancement was disyed before Dean¡¯s eyes.
Skill: Bone Fang (Second Enhancement)
Level: Level 3(0/3000)
Skill consumption: 20 mana points
Skill damage: Spirit power times 2 plus 162
Attached traits: Attack Enhancement (Level 3)
Effect 1: Includes 250 points of pration damage
Effect 2: Attack distance increased by 100 meters
Effect 3: Can consume tenfold mana to activate split attack effect, allowing the attack to split into fifty pieces, each piece dealing damage equal to twenty-five percent of the unit attack
In just five minutes, Dean spent a total of 1324 silver coins toplete the second enhancement of the Bone Fang skill.
The second enhancement of the Bone Fang skill brought an epic level advancement.
Just how terrifying the second enhancement of Bone Fang can be, is quite straightforward when looking at the attributes.
So, after Bone Fang¡¯s second enhancement waspleted, Deanunched a 200 mana Bone Fang attack.
A tiny bone flew out and exploded a few meters away.
Dozens of miniature Bone Fangs dispersed in a fan shape, reminiscent of a heavy downpour, scattering in all directions.
The scattered Bone Fangs each carried twenty-five percent of the damage. Although twenty-five percent might not seem much, but it must be understood that currently, a single Bone Fang attack from Dean inflicts a mammoth damage of up to 528, out of which 250 was pration damage.
This portion of the damage was inherited by the scattered Bone Fangs. Simultaneously, they inherited the hundred percent output distance.
Thereupon, with a single Bone Fang attack from Dean, the once densely packed kappa within a hundred-meter radius, instantly thinned down.
This single attack had killed hundreds of kappa.
The second enhancement of Bone Fang was indeed extremely horrific!
And when the second enhancement of Bone Fang executed such damage, Dean knew he had already passed the trial with no suspense.
Looking at the approaching kappa, Dean didn¡¯t feel any tension.
Once again, he used this group of kappa as the tool to grind his talent proficiency.
In the present situation, Dean¡¯s efficiency in improving talent proficiency had skyrocketed several timespared to before.
Not even ten minutes after Bone Fang was enhanced for the second time, Dean sessfully umted the experience points required for talent level advancement.
Then, the system prompt refreshed before Dean¡¯s eyes.
[Your talent proficiency is achieved, talent level is upgraded!]
Chapter 69 - 69: 069 One-turn
Chapter 69: 069 One-turn
Trantor: 549690339
Talent: Extraction
Level: 2 (0/10000) Talent Stone (o/l)
Effect: Can extract attributes from targets killed no more than 60 minutes ago, with a probability of extracting target attributes.
Mana Cost: 30 points
Cooldown Time: None
This is Dean McKenzie¡¯s talent attributes after leveling up, the introduction is as vague and frivolous as when it was at level 1.
Except for the certain mana cost and time, the rest are ambiguous.
Dean McKenzie still needs to explore it on his own.
Luckily, he has gotten used to this kind of situation, and directly tried out his enhanced talent.
Dean McKenzie noticed changes as soon as he started.
To be precise, the extractable attributes have changed.
The extraction of ordinary kappa attributes is still 0.4 without changes, but the extraction of elite monster attributes has risen from 1 point to 2.1.
¡°It should be that the original extraction limit of the talent for a single target has increased, it should be 1 originally, and it is unclear for now!¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie tested the aspect of attribute granting.
The upper limit of attribute granting has increased.
[You spent 50 Silver Coins, granting an increase of 25 points to your Spirit attribute, and your Spirit attribute limit has increased to 65.1, and the Mana limit has increased to 651 points!]
After confirming that the attributes could continue to increase, Dean McKenzie also raised Doggy Two and Doggy Seven incidentally.
Dean McKenzie has now given up the idea of strengthening all the ¡°Doggies¡±. Except for a few key ones, the rest are waiting to be seen after enhancing the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
[You spent 50 Silver Coins and granted 25 points of Spirit to your Wraith Servant Doggy Seven!)
[You spent 50 Silver Coins and granted 25 points of attribute to your Wraith Servant Doggy Two! ]
In addition to these two, the previous Doggy Three had bad luck and became cold again, and Dean McKenzie summoned another one.
For the newly summoned one, Dean McKenzie hesitated for a while and did not name it Doggy Three.
He felt that the name ¡°Doggy Three¡± was rather ominous, as several Doggy Three¡¯s didn¡¯t end well. Dean McKenzie felt that ordinary skeletons couldn¡¯t handle this name, so he left Doggy Three vacant and named the neer Doggy Eight.
For Old Eight, Dean McKenzie set it as the temte [Clumsy Skeleton Assassin Apprentice],
Because he was still in the Land of Trials, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t get experience, but Old Eight, who was only at level 8, could.
As soon as he came up, he directly reached level 20 with an elite temte and 50 attribute points. Dean McKenzie pushed it all down in one go and almost instantly cultivated a 20-level elite temte Skeleton Assassin.
Name: Apprentice Skeleton Assassin (Doggy Eight)
Level: Level 20
Temte: Elite
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 5, Agility: 67, Physique: 4,
Attack: 33.5
Defense: 2
Spirit Power: 40
Skill: Backstab (Level 1)
How to say about this attribute, it¡¯s simply a mess.
¡°How can I take out this assassin with pride?¡±
Dean McKenzie shook his head ceaselessly.
¡°It seems that the enhancement of Summon Skeleton must be prioritized as soon as possible!¡±
After that, Dean McKenzie, who had only five or six gold coins left, did not continue to tinker, and practiced his talent proficiency quietly, storing [Elite Temte] and waiting for the 60 minutes to end.
Soon, the 60 minutes needed to withstand nightmare mode were up.
Dean McKenzie hasn¡¯t had time to dere he won¡¯t continue yet, and the system prompt has already been refreshed.
[Congrattions, you sessfully passed the one-turn trial in Nightmare Mode!]
The moment the system prompt was refreshed, a gray light full of the power of death shone on Dean McKenzie.
However, in this creepy light of death, Dean McKenzie felt exceptionallyfortable.
At the same time, the system prompt refreshed further in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[You have sessfully changed your ss to [Apprentice Necromancer] (One-turn)!]
[All your attributes are increased by a hundred percent!]
[You have received the One-turn skill heritage of [Necromancer], you have awakened the One-turn skill [Bone Prison]!]
[You have unlocked Mana Attack Mode!]
In the session of system prompts.
The power of death fell on Dean McKenzie, giving him aprehensive enhancement.
In the coldness, Dean McKenzie¡¯s four-dimensional attributes, including mana value, as well as the [Mana Attack] column that appeared just after unlocking the mana attack mode, began to soar.
In less than five minutes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Name: Dean McKenzie
ss: Apprentice Necromancer
Talent: Extraction Level 2
Level: Level 20
Attributes:
Strength: 5.4, agility: 5.6, physique: 43.6, spirit: 130.2 (18)
Mana Attack: 260.4
Mana: 2602 (780)
The rest omitted
Looking at his own attributes, Dean McKenzie can¡¯t help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
He thought that after passing the Nightmare Mode, having his four-dimensional attributes doubled was already terrifying.
But unexpectedly, both the mana value and magic strength doubled.
This pushed Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana value directly above the 3000 mark.
The newly unlocked attribute [Mana Attack] is even directly up to 260.4.
As the [Mana Attack] mode was unlocked, Dean McKenzie naturally learned a method of releasing long-distance attacks using mana.
Dean McKenzie tried it and found that the so-called [Mana Attack] is basically the basic attack of mages.
Dean McKenzie waved his hand casually and could shoot out a gray energy ball. The attack distance is about 20 meters, with a damage as high as 260 points, but it consumes mana, 26 points of mana per shot.
Both damage and consumption are eptable.
The biggest advantagepared to the Bone Fang mode is that it does not need chanting, just raise your hand and go.
In addition to this mana mode, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind also added a new skill.
Skill: Bone Prison (One-turn)
Level: Level 1
Chanting Language: Great power of the bone, imprisoning heaven and earth!
Mana Consumption: 50
Effect: Release a Bone Prison that traps enemies with an energy value equal to 3 times of Spirit Power. Until the energy value drops to zero, the enemy cannot get out of the Bone Prison.
Ps: The enemy¡¯s attack power is reduced by 90% when breaking the Bone Prison from within.
It¡¯s clear that it¡¯s a strong control skill.
Dean McKenzie tried it and found that this skill has a casting range within 30 meters.
Requires about one or two seconds of preparation time.
You need to lock the enemy and predict the position correctly during the preparation time.
After casting, if the enemy does not escape from the lock, a bone prison will appear out of thin air and imprison the enemy.
It¡¯s a skill that requires a bit of technique!
Once mastered well, it can perform well inbat.
It¡¯s just that Dean McKenzie is not very satisfied with the effect of this one-turn skill.
But it¡¯s not a big problem, Dean McKenzie can enhance this skillter when he has extra quotas.
As Dean McKenzie familiarized himself with his booming attributes, the system prompts refreshed again.
[You have fully advanced, and your level has been raised to level 21!]
[You have unlocked new granting quotas!]
[Your trial challenge ends!]
Along with the refreshment of the three system prompts, Dean McKenzie was directly kicked out of the Land of Trials!

Chapter 70: 070 Anthony¡¯s Advice
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, Promotion Temple!
Dean McKenzie returned to the first floor of the Promotion Temple with a familiar sensation of weightlessness.
just as he returned, Anthony, with his blood-shot eyes, got in his face, nervously asking.
¡°How did it go? Did you pass?¡±
Dean McKenzie cracked a smile: ¡°Passed it in one go!
¡°As long as you¡¯ve passed it, that s good!
Only then did Anthony breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Dean McKenzie leaned in: ¡°Oh Anthony, didn¡¯t you say if I passed in one go, you would give me a cash equivalent for the remaining opportunity.¡±
Hearing this, Anthony¡¯s face instantly darkened.
¡°Cash what?!¡±
¡°What? Why a hammer? I am not a warrior¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll give you a hammer!¡±
¡°No, if you don¡¯t want to give, don¡¯t give. Why do you hit people¡ Oh, shit¡¡± Before Dean McKenzie could finish speaking, Ennis Hawkins had already pulled down his pants.
With a belt soaked in iodine in his hand, he scared Dean McKenzie into yowling.
Dean McKenzie had no idea how Anthony managed to gather the materials for nightmare mode in just five minutes.
Of course, Anthony had no intention of telling Dean McKenzie.
After brandishing the belt to scare Dean McKenzie a few times, Anthony put
away the belt.
¡°Forget about cashing in your attempt.
The additional materials required for the nightmare mode have used up all your merits and even then, we were short. Your sry this month having been deducted just covers it!¡±
¡°No cash in?¡±
Dean McKenzie was stunned for a moment, then his attention shifted: ¡°My
sry?
Anthony, do I have a sry?¡±
¡°Nonsense, you are a formal member of the Professional Alliance, how could you not have a sry?¡±
¡°So, how much is my sry?¡±
¡°You¡¯re in a probation period now, monthly sry ¨C 50.¡±
¡°50?¡± Dean McKenzie frowned and cautiously asked: ¡°50 gold coins?¡±
Ennis Hawkins did not answer, but his smirking face gave Dean McKenzie the
answer.
Dean McKenzie was immediately upset: ¡®Wait, I work so hard and they only pay me 50 silver coins a month?¡±
¡®What are you working so hard for?
Since you¡¯ve started, haven¡¯t you failed toplete any serious tasks?¡±
Dean McKenzie pouted, feeling a bit unconvinced. He might not have done any serious tasks, but the merits he earned were legitimate, right?
Anthony saw right through what he was thinking.
¡°Your merits have already been rewarded. The sry I mentioned is a base sry. Apart from the base sry, you also enjoy employee benefits, and there are rewards for attaining merits!
¡°What kind of employee benefits are there?¡±
Anthony was discussing benefits for the first time, so Dean McKenzie was particrly interested.
¡°There are quite a few employee benefits. Employee dormitories, employee subsidies that goes without saying. The most important are the Map Entry Tickets and Secret Realm Entry Tickets.
¡°Map Entry Tickets and Secret Realm Entry Tickets?
What are those?¡±
¡°These are items that can be used to enter maps or secret realms, you are at one-turn now, right?
Near Spring City, there are only 4 maps and secret realms for one-turn
21-level.
Here in Spring City, hundreds of professionalsplete their promotion each year, but with few maps and loads of people, previous maps were always chaotic, with constant severe incidents of monster grabbing and treasure snatching.
Therefore the Professional Alliance stepped in to manage the maps and secret realms and also introduced two types of entry tickets, Map and Secret Realm. Professionals can enter the map to level up with the entry tickets!¡±
¡°What the hell?¡±
Dean McKenzie turned pale when he heard this.
¡°You need to queue to farm monsters?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no choice. Spring City, after all, is not Abyss City. Shortage of
resources, we can only adapt!¡±
¡°So how many entry tickets can I get in a month?¡±
¡°What do you mean how many entry tickets can you get in a month? With your current level, you¡¯ll be lucky to get one ticket in half a year to a year!¡±
¡°So you¡¯re saying, even though I am one-turn, I still have to wait half a year to a year to level up?¡±
¡°Right!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s happiness about thepletion of his promotion instantly plummeted.
Looking at Dean McKenzie whose mood had suddenly dropped, Anthony said meaningfully: ¡°Spring city is a small city after all, located at the heart of the Alliance, it¡¯s safe indeed, butcks resources, which is inevitable.
If it¡¯s a heaven abyss city like Thom Oak City, then resources would be abundant there!¡±
¡°Thorn Oak City? Abyss City?¡±
¡°Alliance cities are divided into two types. One is like Spring City ¨C normal cities, the other kind is Abyss Cities like Thorn Oak City.
An Abyss City refers to a city that is in the vicinity of a Heavenly Abyss.¡±
¡°What is a Heavenly Abyss?¡±
¡°Uh, didn¡¯t you¡what have you been reading in the library all this time?
¡°Monster information, skill introduction, map introduction!¡±
¡°So you didn¡¯t look at history at all, did you?¡±
Dean McKenzie proudly responded: ¡°No! I hate history the most!¡±
¡°Even if you don¡¯t like it, you have to learn. It¡¯s a basic literacy for professionals. Remember, the most important thing to do when you get to a new ce is to understand the past and present of the map. That should be your priority!¡±
Anthony strictly admonished Dean McKenzie, then continued: ¡°The so-called heavenly abyss, you can think of it as a crack from another world.
The presence of the heavenly abyss leaks substantial power from that world, causing extreme changes to the surrounding environment.
It transforms ordinary beasts into monsters, transforms normal environments into maps, and spawns secret realms.
Therefore, generally speaking, cities with heavenly abyss are resource-rich.
At least, they are fully equipped with maps for one-turn up to three-turn, but they are also rtively dangerous.
Take Thorn Oak City for instance, nearly every few years, the heavenly abyss suffers an upheaval, each upheaval induces a monster attack.
20 years ago, during one of these upheavals, a dragon exceeding five-turns appeared, and Thorn Oak City was nearly destroyed¡¡±
Listening to Anthony¡¯s introduction of Thorn Oak City, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up as if they were of a certain kind.
¡°What about that? Anthony, Thorn Oak City¡
Dean McKenzie trailed off halfway through his sentence.
¡°What¡¯s with Thorn Oak City?¡±
Dean McKenzie changed the subject abruptly: ¡°No, no, I was wondering, since Spring City is short of maps and secret realms, do employee benefits include Instance Scrolls?¡±
Ennis Hawkins¡¯s eyebrows rose, but he continued answering anyway. ¡°Here in Spring City, Instance Scrolls are even harder toe by than map entry tickets. One one-turn Instance Scroll is at least ten gold to start with, and they are not easily avable on the market.
Though the Alliance has some for exchange, the conditions for the exchange are rather strict.¡±
Having said this, Ennis Hawkins paused for a while, looked at Dean McKenzie and said directly: ¡°Although your temte is just an elite temte, by sessfullypleting the nightmare mode, together with those two enhanced skills, your current potential is not inferior to a rare temte of the same level.
With your current potential, Spring City is too small for you. If you wish to further pursue your career as a professional, you should consider leaving.¡±
¡°Uh!¡±
Dean McKenzie wanted to go out and see the world after learning about the situation in Spring City, but he had received so much help from Anthony, could he just leave like that?
Anthony saw right through what Dean McKenzie was thinking and said: ¡°If you¡¯re feeling guilty about owing me a favor and think it¡¯s inappropriate to just leave, you don¡¯t have to worry. You¡¯re just leaving, not dying!
Besides, with your one-turn strength, staying in Spring City won¡¯t repay me much.
Rather than staying, I¡¯d prefer you to soar high.. Who knows, if you be rich and return in glory, won¡¯t I benefit then?¡±
Chapter 71 - 71: 071 Leaving?
Chapter 71: 071 Leaving?
Trantor: 549690339
Anthony¡¯s advice was very to the point.
Dean McKenzie was very tempted!
But Dean McKenzie was still somewhat hesitant. After all, he couldn¡¯t just follow Anthony¡¯s advice without questioning. It would make him seem too easily swayed!
Dean McKenzie felt that he should at least refuse once or twice.
What¡¯s that called?
It¡¯s called being socially savvy!
But Anthony retorted: ¡°To hell with being socially savvy! Let me tell you, you should leave as soon as possible. If it bes known that you passed the first-turn nightmare mode trial, you won¡¯t be able to leave even if you want to in a short span of time.
You¡¯ll find yourself in a heap of trouble, mark my words!¡±
Pausing, Anthony pped Dean on the shoulder and ominously said, ¡°Kid, you surely don¡¯t want to be invited to theb for a tea and quiz about how you ¡¯ activated the first-turn nightmare mode, do you?¡±
Although Dean knew that Anthony was merely scaring him, he had to admit that he was genuinely frightened.
Unable to help himself, he nodded.
As soon as Dean nodded, Anthony struck while the iron was hot.
¡°Alright then, it¡¯s settled. I¡¯ll arrange everything for you. You should leave tonight!¡±
Straight away, Anthony called several people over for a job transfer.
Using other people¡¯s transfer records, he was able to cover Dean¡¯s transfer record.
After all this was done, as long as Anthony didn¡¯t say anything, the chances of Dean¡¯s nightmare mode job transition being exposed were slim.
But Dean didn¡¯t know that.
He was on tenterhooks, fearing that his special talent might get exposed He even suggested to Anthony: ¡°Anthony, should we demolish the Promotion Temple?¡±
Ennis Hawkins immediately frowned.
Not to mention whether they could actually do it, if they did, would he have to serve the Professional Alliance for the rest of his life?
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve got it all sorted. At least for the next two decades, no one will discover your anomaly. However, you have to make an effort, preferablyplete the fifth-turn, oh no, the fourth-turn within these two decades. As long as you can be a fourth-turn powerhouse within twenty years, everything will be fine.¡±
¡°Fourth-turn?¡±
Dean was surprised: ¡°Is one considered a powerhouse at the fourth-turn?
Wow, the threshold for being a powerhouse in this world is really low!¡±
¡°Pff!¡±
The naive and ignorant words of Dean made Anthony feel as if he had been shot in the knee, hisplexion darkened.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Anthony?¡±
¡°Nothing, just feeling a bit sorry for not being able to cross such a low threshold in twenty years!¡±
Anthony said this while kicking Dean¡¯s behind, sending him out of the Trial Temple.
Subsequently, Dean was temporarily stationed with the Spring City Ninth Enforcement Team. Meanwhile, Anthony got busy with his other tasks.
When Dean saw Anthony again, it was already past nine o¡¯clock at night. Upon returning, Anthony handed Dean a golden card: ¡°Everything¡¯s arranged take this card!¡± ¡±
¡°What is this?¡±
¡°This is the gold membership card of the Skywind Commerce Guild. I got it using my connection with the branch president. With this, you¡¯re now a gold member of the Skywind Commerce Guild.
By chance, they have a trade team heading back to Thorn Oak City tonight. Later, bring this card and meet them at the East City Gate to leave together. Their guild¡¯s guard unitmander is an 8oth level third-turn peak Storm Swordsman. With him protecting you, and with the backing of their guild, your safety on the road can be assured.¡±
Looking at the golden card and listening to Anthony¡¯s arrangements, Dean hesitated again.
¡°Anthony, why are you in such a hurry to make me leave? Is anything wrong?
If there¡¯s anything, tell me. If I can help, I definitely will!¡±
Dean patted his chest, indicating that he wasn¡¯t an ungrateful person.
Anthony, however, smirked: ¡°What could possibly go wrong?
Even if anything goes wrong, what¡¯s it got to do with you, a greenhorn at the first-turn?
Don¡¯t think too much. I just don¡¯t want to see you idle away in this city.
So are you leaving? If not, I¡¯m going to see you off to the underworld!¡±
¡°I¡¯m leaving! Of course I am!¡±
In the end, Dean took the card from Anthony.
After receiving Anthony¡¯s instructions for about twenty minutes, Anthony took
Dean to meet the people from the Skywind Commerce Guild.
With Anthony¡¯s introduction, the Skywind Commerce Guild was incredibly hospitable to Dean.
Not only did they allow Dean to join the departing team for the night, they even arranged a special carriage for him.
Shortly after, under Ennis Hawkins¡¯ watchful eye, Dean left Spring City.
¡°So you just let him go like this?¡±
After watching Dean leave, the president of the Spring City Professional Alliance branch, Anson Harris, appeared next to Ennis, watching Dean depart alongside him.
Having him leave just like this, you¡¯re going to have a lot of trouble. Since he could help, why not tell him to give it a try?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything!¡±
The branch president was taken aback and then said: ¡°Indeed, the kid is a bit timid and fearful of death and the task is indeed very dangerous. But how can you be sure he won¡¯t be willing to help you without giving it a try?¡±
¡°No, when I said there¡¯s no need to try, it¡¯s not because I think he wouldn¡¯t help me even if I told him.
In fact, if I just say it, he¡¯d definitely help.
But!¡±
Anthony paused at this point, turned his head towards the branch president and solemnly said: ¡°I don¡¯t want to!
I¡¯m helping him because I want to, not because I¡¯m expecting him to help me with something.¡±
Then why are you in such a hurry to send him off?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want my help to be his burden!¡±
With Anthony¡¯s exnation, the branch president immediately understood his intention.
If he didn¡¯t send Dean away now, then no matter people¡¯s intentions, someone will inevitably tell Dean about Ennis¡¯ predicament through various means.
Even if Ennis could prevent those reminders from reaching Dean, once the matter unfolds, informed parties will inevitably me Dean.
They¡¯d say Dean was ungrateful and apathetic, putting Dean in a morally condemnable position.
So Ennis sent Dean away while he was still in the dark. That way, even if something happens to himter, it would have nothing to do with Dean.
Once he understood why Ennis was in such a hurry to send Dean away, Anson shook his head: ¡°Why do you always do this?
Piling all the troubles onto yourself.
Don¡¯t you feel tired living like this?
Besides, what benefits does it bring you? Do you believe that he isn¡¯t even aware of what you¡¯ve done for him?
And he might even forget you in two or three years. Is it really worth it?¡±
¡°Worth it?¡±
Ennis grinned at Anson: ¡°I do all this because I want to, not because of him recognizing it or it being worth it.. What matters to me is that I want to!¡±
Chapter 72 - 72: 072 Start [Goblin Rise-2]
Chapter 72: 072 Start [Goblin Rise-2]
Trantor: 549690339
On the convoy of the Skywind Commerce Guild.
Dean McKenzie was in a hovering off-road vehicle created by a mechanic, suitable for mountainous terrain, heading out from Spring City.
Usually, exploring a new map with this kind of technologically advanced vehicle should have excited McKenzie.
However, his mood wasn¡¯t exactly soaring at the moment.
He felt a weight in his heart.
The urgency in Anthony¡¯s insistence that he leave gave him an unsettling
feeling.
But he couldn¡¯t quite put his finger on what was wrong.
The only thing he was sure of was that leaving couldn¡¯t be bad for him;
Anthony wouldn¡¯t harm him.
Even disregarding Anthony¡¯s character, his influence and power would make it unnecessary to go to such lengths to harm McKenzie.
But still, leaving like this left McKenzie feeling uneasy and unsettled.
¡°This isn¡¯t how I imagined leaving, but oh well, not everything in life goes as nned. This isn¡¯t too bad either!
I¡¯ll just go. I couldn¡¯t develop any resources in Spring City anyway. Maybe in a
new map. I¡¯ll take off easier.¡±
Having just adjusted his mentality and prepared to ept the situation, the convoy suddenly stopped.
Then an ear-piercing rm sounded.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
A foreboding feeling washed over McKenzie and sure enough, a pleasant electronic voice sounded in his vehicle.
¡°Dear Gold Member, please note, the journey you are on has encountered an attack. The current attack level is level 2. Please be assured that the Commerce Guard Team can guarantee ¡¡±
¡°Attention, the attack level has increased!
The once soothing electronic voice suddenly became shrill.
At the same time, McKenzie noticed that the turmoil outside was escting.
McKenzie quickly looked out of the window and his heart missed a beat. Outside, countless monsters were charging towards them.
Each monster¡¯s body was heavy with the stench of blood, and their aura was terrifying.
fust seeing them, McKenzie could tell that these monsters would be difficult to
deal with.
He guessed they were at least second-turn level monsters.
The only reassuring factor was the energy shield protecting the convoy on both sides, which should keep the monster horde at bay for now.
However, while McKenzie was watching this scene, a person suddenly descended from a vehicle next to theirs, walked over to McKenzie¡¯s vehicle, and looked through the window at him.
McKenzie¡¯s hair stood on end as he unconsciously made eye contact with the person, whose blood-red eyes sent chills down his spine.
¡°Not good!¡±
rm bells went off in McKenzie¡¯s mind, and the Commerce Guard¡¯s response was brisk. Theyunched various attacks on the man, cutting his body apart and killing him, but to no avail.
That¡¯s because the man had already attached a blood-red scroll to McKenzie¡¯s
vehicle.
¡°Pop!¡±
The man exploded almost instantaneously, and at the same time, the blood-red scroll lit up. A giant hand appeared out of thin air, grabbed McKenzie¡¯s vehicle, pulled it down, and then disappeared.
At the same time, the monsters that had encircled the guards disappeared in an
instant.
All that was left was the bewildered Guild¡¯s convoy, and the surrounding chaos.
The captain of the guard team arrived at the scene first, his face dark: ¡°Who was taken?¡±
¡°A Gold Member!¡±
Someone immediately responded.
Hearing that it was a Gold Member, the captain¡¯s face noticeably lightened a bit and he seemed somewhat relieved, but he still maintained a professional demeanor, ¡°Even if it were an ordinary member, the Skywind Commerce Guild won¡¯t let this go. We will definitely do everything we can to¡¡±
¡°Sir, the person was brought by Mr. Ennis Hawkins!
¡°What? Why didn¡¯t you say so sooner?
Notify the guild immediately, let them dispatch their best investigation team, and also inform Mr. Hawkins!¡±
The Skywind Commerce Guild over there had be significantly more interested in this because of a certain Ennis Hawkins.
But Dean McKenzie had no idea about this.
He had no way of knowing, nor did he have the mood to do so.
Given his current predicament, how could he care about anything else? At the moment, he was trapped in a hovering off-road vehicle, with a bloody hand rushing towards a certain location outside.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t doubt that once this bloody hand stopped, the scenario that awaited him would probably be inadmissible to broadcast.
Therefore, he tried hard to change his current predicament.
But what could he do now?
in the midst of this frantic rush, he couldn¡¯t even stand steadily, let alone
break free.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang couldn¡¯t pierce through the bloody hand.
He tried to use the ¡°Gate of Bone¡± but couldn¡¯t use it at all.
The white light from the Gate of Bone flickered a few meters away, looking as if it was about to open, but it eventually extinguished.
[You are in a special state and cannot use the Gate of Bone!] Not only could the Gate of Bone not be used, even the Instance Scrolls of the ¡°Goblin Uprising¡± couldn¡¯t be used either.
¡°What should I do? What should I do? Should I call for help?¡±
Obviously, this is not a good solution.
¡°I¡¯m afraid that even if I scream my throat out, it would be useless.
So, what should I do? Lie down and ept my fate?
Or, should I try something drastic on myself?¡±
It was at this moment that Dean McKenzie remembered that he had a
¡°Substitute Doll¡± tool, which could transfer him to the doll¡¯s location when he was dealt a fatal blow.
This is fantastic.
Where was the doll?
Oh, it was in the Land of Bone!
That was the end, there was no salvation!
Ignoring whether Dean McKenzie would kill himself and whether the Substitute Doll could activate and send Dean McKenzie to the Land of Bone.
Even if it could, the Land of Bone had a principle for its activation: once activated, the Gate of Bone would remain at its original ce. Although it was in an invisible and shrunken state, it was still useless.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t think that the invisibility of the Land of Bone could deceive an existence of such a high level.
¡°Am I just supposed to wait for my death?
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel some despair.
But despite the despair, he was still unwilling to give up.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s character wouldn¡¯t allow him to give up until he hadpletely despaired.
At the moment, the only slightly hopeful things he had were the Gate of Bone and Goblin Uprising Instance Scrolls.
Although both of them had indicated that they couldn¡¯t be used, Dean McKenzie kept trying again and again, hoping there would be a bug.
This was basically a struggle at the verge of death, but what Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t anticipate was that when using the Gate of Bone and the ¡°Goblin Uprising Level 2¡± scroll at the same time, he actually managed to find a way to survive.
When the white light from the Gate of Bone lit up, the ban imposed by the bloody hand outside seemed to be used up to resist the Gate of Bone, allowing Dean McKenzie to sessfully use the ¡°Goblin Uprising Level 2 !
[You have sessfully triggered the ¡°Goblin Uprising Level 2¡± Instance!] Apanied by the system prompt, a sense of weightlessness came, and Dean McKenzie vanished.
Simultaneously, the bloody hand seemed to sense something, suddenly went into a rampage, clenched hard, and the hovering off-road vehicle was directly crushed¡
Thanks to [Irritable Old Lord], [Small Backup Student], [Ugliness is a Disease That Needs to be Cured], [Xiao Between Conversations] for their rewards and support!
It¡¯s taken a while to umte, but finally umted a few, also because it¡¯ been a while since thest gratitude, please forgive any errors.

Chapter 73 - 73: 073 Proposal from the Princess
Chapter 73: 073 Proposal from the Princess
Trantor: 549690339
[You have entered the instance [Goblin Uprising-2]!]
With the refresh of the system prompt, Dean McKenzie opened his eyes, his face filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
¡°I escaped!¡±
However, the joy on his face didn¡¯tst; Dean¡¯splexion soon changed.
¡°It hurts!¡±
Currently, he was like someone emerging from unconsciousness. His bodily functions were sluggish at first, but after a dy, all sorts of pains welled up like a flood.
Dean had never encountered such a situation before.
Next, Dean noticed his current state and found his hands and feet were bound by heavy iron shackles.
Moreover, he couldn¡¯t mobilize the Mana within his body for some reason.
Looking around, he found himself in a dank and dark environment. Obviously, it was a dungeon.
Just as Dean was confused, the system message refreshed again.
[Instance Plot Synopsis:
Three months ago, you left the Goblin Tribe and ventured towards the human world in search of the Necromancer¡¯s legacy.
Heading south for over a month, you encountered the first big city ¡ª Pink City.
You were quite excited.
You entered Pink City!
You were captured¡]
When the plot synopsis got to this point, Dean couldn¡¯t hold back anymore.
¡°What sort of plot unravels like this?
Isn¡¯t the start of this instance getting crazier and crazier?
Last time, I was almost eaten right after entering, and this time, I¡¯m captured as soon as I arrive?
Even if I¡¯m captured, shouldn¡¯t you at least tell me why I was captured?¡±
Just as Dean finished speaking, the plot synopsis continued.
[Because the most beautiful princess of Pink City fell for you and proposed in public, but you rejected her!
The ruler of Pink City was furious and ordered your execution, but on the princess¡¯s pleading, the sentence was changed to incarceration.
Until now, you¡¯ve been imprisoned in this dungeon for more than a month.
Over the past month, someone has been trying to force you to marry the princess every day, but you¡¯ve been steadfast and would rather die than submit!]
[The current instance is an open instance, there are no instance quests, and no instance plot.
Next, you will live in this instance for three months.
At the end of three months, your performance will be assessed and instance rewards given ordingly.
PS: The timeline of this instance is different from the real world, the time flow ratio is 30:1!]
When this plot synopsis came out, Dean immediately fell silent.
His gaze lingered on the additional settings for a moment, then moved to the instance introduction above.
After reading the instance introduction, Dean was silent for a long time.
His gaze lingered on the words [most beautiful princess] [proposed in public] for a while.
Dean suddenly felt that his imprisonment seemed to make a bit of sense.
He even felt that the Dean McKenzie in the plot synopsis was indeed a bit unappreciative.
¡°But isn¡¯t the plot a bit unreasonable?
In the plot, do I have the role of Liu Xiahui?
Why doesn¡¯t it take into ount my personality?
With my personality, there¡¯s no way I would be so unappreciative.
And would rather die every day? Isn¡¯t this a bit too much!¡±
¡°Bang!¡±
Before Dean could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened, and two burly figures walked in.
As soon as he saw someone entering, Dean immediately shouted, ¡°I give up, tell the princess, I¡¯ve had a change of heart, I don¡¯t want to struggle anymore!¡± Just as Dean finished speaking, the two figures faltered, and a soft light shed across the leading figure. The next second, Dean saw the figures clearly under the soft glow.
Both of these figures were over two and a half meters tall, round and robust, with big heads,rge ears, short noses, and wide mouths.
Noteworthy was the fact that these two, oh no, these two pigs were dressed in women¡¯s clothes.
The leading one even had a silver tiara on her head, and her skin looked tender and rosy. She was undoubtedly a beauty among pigs.
But the issue was, she was a pig!
At this moment, Dean¡¯s face twisted in agony.
Dean knew for sure that the him in the previous plot was not ying the role of Liu Xiahui, but being himself!
He, Dean McKenzie, would indeed rather die than submit!
Just as Dean was gritting his teeth in agony, the head pig princess, whose rosy face was initially full of joy, visibly drooped her head and looked a bit aggrieved and pitiful, which angered the maid pig behind her.
¡°Human, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡±
With a light cry, the maid pig burst out with an impressive aura, ready to teach Dean a lesson, but was stopped by the pig princess: ¡°Chloe, don¡¯t be rude!¡±
After she stopped the maid pig, the pig princess advanced two steps to stand in front of Dean McKenzie.
Her enormous figure was quite imposing, especially to Dean, who was in pain all over and couldn¡¯t use his Mana. Still, Dean stood straight.
Well, obviously, after knowing the true identity of the so-called most beautiful princess, Dean was just as unwilling topromise as the Dean in the plot synopsis.
However, to Dean¡¯s surprise, when the princess advanced, she made a deep bow to Dean, an apology that should¡¯ve been graceful: ¡°Mr. McKenzie, I apologize for the trouble my caprice has caused you.
I am deeply sorry!¡±
The princess pig¡¯s behavior left Dean slightly confused. He squinted at the apologizing pig princess and remained silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Now that your Highness hase to her senses, can you release me?¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help you with this request!¡±
The pig princess bowed again, then raised her head to look at Dean seriously, her eyes full of affection and reason, ¡°My caprice has not only caused great trouble for you but also humiliated Pink City, my Porchett family, and my father.
Therefore, I can¡¯t let you go.
Even if I were to let you go, Pink City and the Porchett family would not let you escape. The moment you leave the dungeon might be the moment they attack you.
I don¡¯t want to see you die, especially since you are the first person of opposite sex I have ever liked.¡±
It must be said, this was the first time Dean had encountered someone of the opposite sex admitting their feelings so straightforwardly.
Look at how she articted her feelings, full of emotion and straightforwardness.
It¡¯s lovely! Except, the only w was she happened to be a pig.
Dean curled his lip: ¡°Then what did youe here for?¡±
¡°This time, I came to resolve this issue properly!¡±
¡°Resolve?¡±
Dean raised an eyebrow: ¡°How do you n to resolve this?¡±
¡°I hope Mr. McKenzie would agree to marry me!
Under the current circumstances, only this way can produce a satisfactory resolution.¡±
¡°Satisfactory?¡±
¡°Yes, this way, the dignity of Pink City, the Betch family, and my father will be preserved, and you won¡¯t have to stay here any longer.
Of course, I know that you don¡¯t like me, Mr. McKenzie.
That¡¯s okay, we can have a fake marriage. Once this issue is over, I will find a way to get you out of Pink City.¡±
The princess pig looked at Dean, her gaze filled with affection and sincerity..

Dean McKenzie had a serious suspicion that there was something hidden about his character in this dungeon.
This was already the second time.
Last time the Strong Grass even tried to consummate their rtionship out of nowhere during the plot, and now, it¡¯s gone a step further with the Princess Pig actually proposing to him.
What a messed up storyline this was.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact he couldn¡¯t leave a review, McKenzie would have definitely given a hundreds of bad ones.
Grumbling to himself, feeling annoyed, McKenzie finally nodded in agreement to Princess Pig¡¯s suggestion.
There was no other choice, refusing wasn¡¯t an option. He was under her control, unable to use his magic.
This made Dean McKenzie feel extremely insecure.
Therefore, he decided topromise for the time being, at least to get out of the dungeon and buy himself some time.
After all, the time flow in this dungeon was different from the outside world, reaching a ratio of 30 to 1.
If McKenzie didn¡¯t dy a bit, he might get caught as soon as he stepped out. Besides, as Princess Pig had said, it was just a fake marriage. She probably wouldn¡¯t crave his body anymore, right?
As Dean McKenzie agreed and nodded his head.
Soon, the dungeon guards came over. The shackles on McKenzie were released, and even his sealed Mana was restored.
With the return of his 3000+ Mana, McKenzie finally felt like he was truly alive again, regaining some sense of security.
However, he still dared not act rashly.
As soon as his Mana was restored, he outright unleashed several attacks on both Princess Pig and her handmaid.
Under the calm gaze of the princess and the frenzy of the handmaid, he forcefully learned their attribute points.
Name: Pink Becky Chloe
Race: Pink Pigman
Temte: Excellent Temte
Level: Level 60
Status: Personal guard of the Third Princess of Pink City
What?
Name: Pink Becky Elisa
Race: Pink Pigman
Temte: Rare Temte
Level: ???
Status: Third Princess of Pink City
One with Excellent Temte, the other with a Rare Temte. The former one is a peak existence of the second-turn, and thetter¡¯s strength should be on par.
The power of these two alone was enough to make McKenzie lose confidence. Moreover, on his way out of the dungeon, McKenzie noticed that there were barely any Pigmen with Ordinary Temtes.
Without exception, they were all Elites with a minimum starting level of 30. Outside the dungeon, two Earth Dragon Cars were protected by tens of guards. Seeing the convoy of second-tier guards, McKenzie gave up the idea of violently escaping and obediently boarded the second Earth Dragon Car.
Anyway, it seemed like he wasn¡¯t in any danger in this dungeon, so he decided it would be better to pretend to go alongzily than face an unknown danger outside.
Having given up this impractical idea and decided to take it easy, McKenzie began to rx. He even took time to pull back the curtain and take a look at the city.
He was quite curious about what a Pighead city would look like.
However, savages were the only view outside the curtain.
Seeing Dean McKenzie, a human, lift the curtain, they all looked at him as if they wanted to rip his skin off or wanted to rece him.
just as McKenzie was about to let the curtain down, the convoy suddenly stopped.
Then the ground started shaking slightly. At the same time, a giant shadow charged towards them, almost reaching McKenzie in a blink of an eye.
When the shadow came closer, McKenzie finally saw that it was a gigantic wild pig with a burly figure holding a Wolf Tooth Club on its back.
¡°Boom!¡±
The moment McKenzie spotted the intruder, he was already in front of him.
The club smashed down, and with a loud bang, the Level 60 Earth Dragon right in front of McKenzie was blown up.
The blood of the Earth Dragon sttered all over, dyeing the entire street red. Even the carriage carrying McKenzie was almost knocked off bnce.
The power of that strike made McKenzie shudder.
He had no doubt that if that strike had hit him, even if he activated the Bone Shield, it would have meant certain death.
While McKenzie was stunned, the guy¡¯s sinister face came right up to
McKenzie and growled, ¡°Human, beautiful women always belong to the strong. The princess isn¡¯t something a skinny human like you can covet!
She can only belong to Master Bain!¡±
Looking at the fierce face in front of him, McKenzie squinted, ¡°I think you might be mistaken. I never coveted your princess; it¡¯s your princess who¡¯s coveting my body.
Plus, I don¡¯t like being threatened.
I originally didn¡¯t intend to ept your princess, but your threat just made me change my mind.¡±
¡°Human, you¡¯re asking for death!¡±
McKenzie¡¯s words infuriated the Pighead. He raised his club high, intending to smash McKenzie¡¯s head, but was stopped by the guards who rushed over.
The handmaiden also personally intervened and the Pighead was quickly taken away.
Meanwhile, McKenzie sent off the Pighead who was almost excorted away, and couldn¡¯t help but look towards the carriage in front.
During the entire incident, the Princess who had been making affectionate eyes at McKenzie didn¡¯t even show her face.
This made McKenzie realize that the plot of this dungeon was probably not as simple as written.
McKenzie started to question the princess¡¯s motive for proposing to him.
¡°I was wondering why a pigman princess would fall in love with a human at first sight? It¡¯s also weird that she would propose to me in public upon our very first meeting.
Plus, it¡¯s notmon for a princess¡¯s personal guard to be so polite to someone who attacked the princess¡¯s convoy. Something¡¯s definitely off here.¡± NOW, McKenzie firmly suspected that the affectionate and sincere Princess wasn¡¯t interested in him at all. She was merely using him.
This brought a sigh of relief to McKenzie. If that was true, his body life should be safe.
He was happy about this.
Of course, this didn¡¯t stop him from secretly cursing the Princess for being a scumbag.
Soon, the sudden drama ended.
The convoy continued its journey. The guards dragged McKenzie¡¯s carriage all the way to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Pink City.
After entering the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, the handmaid arranged a ce for McKenzie to stay and then brought him two boxes.
¡°What are these?¡±
McKenzie looked at the two boxes curiously.
¡°These are gifts from the Princess. We hope Mr. McKenzie will like them.¡±
Gifts from the scumbag princess?
McKenzie¡¯s eyebrows shot up as he opened the two boxes ¨C his eyes immediately lit up.
He suddenly felt like ¡. perhaps Princess Pig wasn¡¯t so bad after all¡
Chapter 75 - 75: 075 Necromancer Legacy
Chapter 75: 075 Necromancer Legacy
Trantor: 549690339 |
Pink City, City Lord¡¯s Mansion.
As Dean McKenzie opened those two boxes, the system prompted a refresh.
[You¡¯ve received the [Legacy of the Necromancer] (Book Knowledge version)!]
With the system prompt in ce, Dean McKenzie flipped through the two boxes.
After flipping through them, Dean McKenzie figured out what the [Legacy of the Necromancer] in the book knowledge version was.
All the contents of the two boxes were books rted to the necromancer¡¯s legacy.
Dean McKenzie counted them, there were 87 in total.
These 87 books formed aplete set.
From the introduction of the necromancer system to step-by-step bing a necromancer, the skills exnation was very detailed.
In the meantime, Dean McKenzie also saw the detailed attributes of the legacy.
Name: Necromancer Legacy (Book Knowledge version)
Exnation: Once mastered by reading, it can greatly enhance your legacy.
It might even trigger the legacy of an advanced profession [Necromancer]
Just from this introduction, one could see the importance of these 87 books.
Dean immediately started reading, but he was shocked at what he found.
He couldn¡¯t understand it!
He didn¡¯t recognize the characters on it.
They weren¡¯t characters from the real world. Dean McKenzie could understand real-world characters, which were simr to traditional Chinese characters and easy for him to grasp.
But the characters in these books had a hint of the Western system, which Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t understand at all.
That was a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t afraid of embarrassment.
¡°Can anyone help me? I can¡¯t read these characters!¡±
Dean McKenzie straightforwardly expressed his request to the maid pig.
The maid pig frowned, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a human mage? Howe you can¡¯t read humannguage?¡±
¡°There are hundreds of humannguages, I can¡¯t possibly know them all, can I? I don¡¯t recognize this one, can you find someone to teach me?¡±
¡°This is troublesome, not many people know thisnguage, I¡¯ll ask the princess for help!¡±
Then, the maid pig left and didn¡¯t return until half an hourter.
When she returned, she held a ring in her hand, which she gave to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Here, this is from the princess!¡±
Dean McKenzie took the ring and was immediately taken aback.
Name: Schr¡¯s Wind (Ring)
Quality: Silver
Level: Level 21
Usage conditions: None
Effect 1: Comes with [Human Language Proficiency] (Level 4)
Effect 2: After wearing the ring, learning efficiency increases by fifty percent
Dean received a silver ring.
Regardless of whether he could use it or not, the princess was genuinely generous, giving away a silver-quality ring just like that.
With the ring on, the situation changed when Dean opened the books again.
The text, which originally looked like gibberish, suddenly became clear to Dean McKenzie. Finally, he could understand it.
However, although he could read it, Dean McKenzie still couldn¡¯t understand much of the content in the books.
Rather than trying to understand everything on his first read-through, Dean decided to skim through all 87 volumes first.
Very quickly, Dean McKenzie finished reading all the books.
As soon as he finished, the system prompt immediately refreshed.
[You¡¯ve read the [Legacy of the Necromancer], and your temte legacy has now increased to neen percent!]
It increased by two percentage points at once.
However, the biggest gains for Dean McKenzie weren¡¯t these two percentage points.
In fact, while reading, in addition to this system prompt, Dean McKenzie received a few more system prompts.
[You¡¯ve read a detailed analysis of the skills [Bone Fang] [Bone Shield] [Summon Skeleton] [Slow Curse] [Bone Prison]. Your understanding of these skills has deepened, and the proficiency of these skills has been enhanced to varying degrees!]
While Dean McKenzie read the books relevant to these skills, the knowledge about these skills would automatically pop up in his mind andbine with the knowledge from the books.
This was incredibly beneficial for Dean. Not only did he gain a deeper understanding of how to use the skills, but the proficiency of these skills also increased to varying degrees. The skill [Slow Curse] had the most significant improvement and leveled up from level 1 to level 2.
This gave Dean McKenzie a further understanding of the value of the [Legacy of Necromancy].
¡°With the help of these books, I might be able to level up both [Bone Fang] and [Bone Shield] to level 6 within three months. By then, I would be able to¡¡¡¡¡¡¡. ¡±
He suddenly went silent halfway through his sentence.
That¡¯s because he remembered that even if he managed to level up [Bone Fang] and [Bone Shield] to level 6 within three months, it wouldn¡¯t be a great help.
In the end, he was really poor. He only had five or six gold coins in his pocket. This little money wouldn¡¯t be enough for anything!
¡°I¡¯m broke!¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t resist groaning in poverty.
At this moment, a soft voice said, ¡°Mr. McKenzie, do you need money?¡±
Dean McKenzie turned his head just to see that Princess Pig, Elisa, and Maid Pig were sitting next to him.
Surprisingly, the Princess Pig with her huge body, sitting there, gave off a serene and elegant aura.
As Dean McKenzie turned to look, Princess Pig took out a pink bag from her bosom and gave it to Dean McKenzie.
¡°I don¡¯t have much with me, only these. Tell me how much you need, and if it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll have Chloe deliver more to you.¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at the pink bag handed over by her, there was no hesitation, and he took it straight away.
It¡¯s a joke, she was giving him money, why would he hesitate?
He opened it up to check the pink bag, and there were hundreds of gold coins in it.
That money would be enough for him to level up two or three skills.
However, having money seemed to be of no use, as Dean McKenzie did not have the essences to use.
When faced with this problem, Dean McKenzie shamelessly asked the princess for help: ¡°Thank you. Besides, I also need to personally kill some elite temte or even excellent temte enemies. Can you arrange it for me?¡±
As soon as Dean McKenzie put forward this request, before Elisa could react, Maid Pig became angry: ¡°You human, don¡¯t you think your demands are a bit excessive?
What do you think the princess is?
How can you shamelessly make these requests to the princess?
You are simply¡¡±
¡°Chloe!¡±
Elisa interrupted the maid pig, and then looked at Dean McKenzie affectionately: ¡°It¡¯s okay, as long as it¡¯s Mr. McKenzie, it¡¯s okay.
I¡¯d be d to do these things for Mr. McKenzie.¡±
If you have any other needs, you can tell me, and I¡¯ll try my best to fulfill them!¡±
Elisa¡¯s affectionate look was indeed a bit intimidating.
For a moment, Dean McKenzie felt as though she was head-over-heals in love with him.
If it weren¡¯t for her robust body and pig head, if it weren¡¯t for the previous farce, Dean McKenzie might have been fooled by her.
¡°For now, I don¡¯t have any other needs, you can just help me with this one!¡±
In any case, no matter what the princess was nning to do, Dean McKenzie decided to eat the sugar-coated bullets she offered..
Chapter 76 - 76: Arena 076
Chapter 76: Arena 076
Trantor: 549690339
Pink City, City Lord¡¯s Mansion.
Some people are naturally good at being kept.
And Dean McKenzie obviously has somewhat this inclination.
In a blink of an eye, Dean McKenzie had lived in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion for more than a month.
During this month, Dean McKenzie had been living a life of being waited on hand and foot.
He was enjoying all the arrangements that Elisa made for him without any guilt.
Even, Dean McKenzie would asionally make some demands to Elisa.
Asking for money and equipment without the slightest embarrassment.
Also, urging Elisa to help him solve the problem of monster hunting.
Just a typical case of freeloading done right!
Embracing it with an air of calm indifference!
Because Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t think he¡¯s freeloading at all!
In his opinion, the princess of the Pigman n didn¡¯t have the hots for him at all, her amorous gestures were just to take advantage of him.
All the gifts that the princess of the Pigman n gave him now, are sure to be demanded back all at onceter.
So, Dean McKenzie enjoys his meal without the slightest qualm.
This is no freeloading, right?
This is clearly an advance on thest meal before execution. Who wouldn¡¯t enjoy such a meal without any constraints?
So eat up hard and don¡¯t hesitate.
As such, Dean McKenzie would rush the princess every now and then, urging him to get the monster arrangement done as soon as possible.
The thing that Dean McKenzie is mostcking now is a wave of monsters.
Over the past month, Dean McKenzie¡¯s energy has been spent on the Necromancer Inheritance, aside from his freeloading.
After a month of hard work, Dean McKenzie has nearly memorized all 87 basics.
His professional inheritance progress has risen from an initial 17% to 78% now.
Moreover, the detailed exnations of several skills that Dean McKenzie mainly studied, namely Bone Fang, Bone Shield, Bone Prison, and Summon Skeleton, have been thoroughly studied by Dean McKenzie.
The levels of several skills have been raised to varying degrees.
Bone Fang and Bone Shield have been upgraded to level 4, Summon Skeleton has been upgraded to level 3, and Bone Prison has also been upgraded to level 2.
He made great progress, but what regretted Dean McKenzie was .
The content of the books on Bone Fang and Bone Shield has beenpletely mastered by Dean McKenzie. Rereading them will no longer increase the proficiency of these two skills, leaving them stuck at level 4.
It seems that a skill can only increase proficiency by one level at most by reading it thoroughly, and no more.
But the improvements of these two skills to level 4 are quite satisfying to Dean McKenzie.
Base damage of Bone Fang became 2.2 times the Spiritual Power plus 324.
The base defense of Bone Shield reached 2.5 times the Spiritual Power plus 256.
Although there have been no trait upgrades, the standard intensity has massively increased.
This made Dean McKenzie realize that once a skill is enhanced, its base level will also be enhanced simultaneously, and the benefits from levelling up will significantly increase.
Based on the current strength of Bone Shield and Bone Fang, these two skills have far surpassed the usual first-turn skills.
This has Dean McKenzie more excited about the enhancement of Summon Skeleton.
Dean McKenzie originally thought that when he turned up, Doggy Two and the others would naturally also be able to level up.
But it didn¡¯t turn out that way.
Their levels are still stuck at 20.
This makes the Summon Skeleton skill particrly useless.
If this skill does not rank up, it will basically be useless.
Dean McKenzie can¡¯t bear to have this skill be useless just like that, and besides, it¡¯s also a skill that can significantly increase his fighting power at the moment.
So, he keeps urging Elisa, every now and then.
Several times, the princess¡¯s serving pig got so anxious that she took the opportunity to secretly express to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Can you stop urging, because of your matter, the princess has been troubled enough recently, can you not always urge this when you meet the princess?
Can you not put so much pressure on the princess?¡±
Dean McKenzie did not take this seriously at all, he still urged her as he pleased.
This annoyed the serving pig so much that she almost couldn¡¯t resist beating up Dean McKenzie several times.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t afraid, he had two options¨C either kill me or settle me, and treating female servants like pigs weren¡¯t going to help.
He would always retort, ¡°I truly feel sorry for Her Highness, the Princess!¡±
Then he would storm off annoyed.
Luckily, she didn¡¯t know what a dirtbag was; otherwise, she would probably spit at Dean McKenzie and curse him as a dirtbag.
Atst, under the relentless pressuring of Dean McKenzie¡
On the 47th day Dean McKenzie entered the instance, the Third Princess of Pink City, Elisa, finally prepared the thing Dean McKenzie wanted. She took Dean McKenzie out from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and arrived at a giant building in the southern part of Pink City.
This giant building was the Arena of Pink City.
The Pigman n¡¯s nobles in Pink City imitated the human nobles and constructed it.
Although it was constructed by imitating humans, the functionality of the Arena in Pink City had some changes.
In the Arena of Pink City, the audience not only watched the duels and ced bets but also could participate in the duels themselves.
Today, the most beautiful and the most blessed princess of Pink City, the Third Princess, brought Dean McKenzie to the Arena, not for him to participate in a duel.
Though this princess of the Pigman n dragged it out for over a month, she did a much better job than Dean McKenzie had expected.
¡°Mr. McKenzie, I have prepared it all.
All the weak, sick, and disabled fighting beasts in the Arena have been tied up!¡±
Elisa said, and led Dean McKenzie to a subfield of the Arena.
¡°Creak¡± Following the sound of the heavy gate being pushed open¡
A shocking scene appeared before Dean McKenzie.
He saw that in a duel arena of ten thousand square meters, hundreds of fighting beasts of different sizes were tied up in the duel arena, just likembs waiting to be ughtered.
¡°Here are a total of 176 fighting beasts, all of them are one-turn fighting beasts. Among them, 168 are of the elite temte, and eight are of the excellent temte!
I wonder, will these suffice?
If not, Elisa can think of other ns!¡±
The princess still had a tender and affectionate look.
But, at this time Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention was no longer on the princess.
His gaze waspletely on the more than a hundred fighting beasts in the duel arena.
He never expected this princess to be so thorough.
It was unbelievable for him.
He didn¡¯t understand what exactly this princess wanted to do?
If it follows the storyline, this princess should be using him as a human shield to dodge some prince¡¯s pursuit in Pink City.
There shouldn¡¯t be any reason for her to go to such an extent for a human shield.
His original demand was merely a monster farming map.
Even discarding the plotline, judging from only the basic rules of the instances, such a situation should not ur.
ording to the basic rules of instances, shouldn¡¯t the earnings be equal to the double of the efforts?
Dean McKenzie hasn¡¯t done anything yet.
This reward scared him a bit.
He was very clear that there is no such thing as something for nothing, every giftes with a price.
¡°I wonder, whether I can bear the price when it is revealed.
But regardless, since it is in front of my eyes, there¡¯s no reason for me not to take it!
First, take the rewards, calcte the priceter!¡±
Thinking this, Dean McKenzie directly stepped into the duel arena, preparing to reap this wave of benefits.
However, just as Dean McKenzie stepped into the duel arena, the gate of the duel arena was closed immediately.
Immediately after, an energy shield ascended, instantly sealing off the duel arena.
Those inside couldn¡¯t get out, and those outside couldn¡¯t see the inside, much less get inside.
At the same time, inside the duel arena, the fighting beasts that were originally nailed in ce and were on theirst breaths, suddenly burst out with a blood-red glow.
¡°Snap! Snap! Snap!¡±
The sound of shackles being broken echoed one after another.
At the same time, the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie also began to refresh.
Looking at the sudden change in the scene before his eyes, the previously gentle and tender Elisa, who watched as Dean McKenzie stepped into the duel arena, her face suddenly turned cold. She turned her head and looked at the other side of the Arena; an uncontroble killing intent surged out..
Chapter 77 - 77: 077 Shadow Ghosts
Chapter 77: 077 Shadow Ghosts
Trantor: 549690339
Pink City, Arena!
With Dean McKenzie entering the Duel Arena, the arena was sealed off, and Princess Pig Elisa moved towards a side passage.
Seeing the murderous princess, the maid pig instantly understood what she was going to do and hurriedly deterred, ¡°Princess, don¡¯t, you can¡¯t do this, it¡¯s not the time yet, you have to endure¡¡±
¡°Scram!¡±
The maid pig had just spoken two sentences when the princess pig, who had previously been gentle as jade in front of Dean McKenzie, erupted, pushing the maid pig out several tens of meters, then walked into the passage.
Inside the passage, Princess Pig saw three pigmen.
One was the manager of the Arena, one was the pigman who had previously attacked Dean McKenzie, and one was a pigman dressed in shining gold.
The three pigs were led by the golden pig.
He looked at Elisa, who walked in alone, with a perverted smirk on his face, and directly cut to the chase, ¡°Princess, I think you don¡¯t want that human to leave the Duel Arena¡¡±
¡°Do you know why I didn¡¯t get off the carriage when you had Dean McKenzie attackedst time?¡±
The princess cut him off.
Although he was somewhat dumbfounded, he went along with the princess pig¡¯s topic.
¡°Why? Afraid that if youe out to protect him, I¡¯ll really kill him!¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to resist killing you like I¡¯m doing now!¡±
With a lift of her round pink head, Elisa said, the glow on her body shifted and she transformed from a pig into a human.
The next second, a bloody and brutal scene yed out in the passage.
When the maid pig rushed in trying to stop her, everything was already toote.
The heads of the three pigmen had already been twisted off.
Standing in front of the three bloody corpses was a petite, pure ck figure.
¡°It¡¯s toote, I¡¯mte!¡±
Seeing the three severed heads, the maid pig¡¯s face paled in an instant.
At the same time, elsewhere.
As Dean McKenzie stepped into the Duel Arena, the shocking change erupted instantly.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s system prompt also refreshed in front of his eyes.
[You have entered the special map, the Arena of Ferocious Beasts!]
[There are currently 176 ferocious beasts in the Duel Arena, please hold out for at least 20 minutes!]
Seeing the sudden system prompt.
Seeing the group of beasts in front of him that had been unleashed and plunged into a frenzied state.
Dean McKenzie was surprisingly not frightened.
He even thought that this situation was normal.
¡°I was saying earlier that it was too dramatic, I was feeling a bit uneasy, but now it¡¯s okay, I can eat up this benefit with peace of mind!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he lifted his hand, and a Bone Fang rose into the sky.
The Bone Fang ascended, then stopped in mid-air, splitting into dozens of small Bone Fangs that fell down.
After level 4, Bone Fang¡¯s maximum damage was as high as 866.
This meant that each small Bone Fang could deal as much as 221.5 damage, 62.5 of which was piercing damage.
What¡¯s the concept of this?
The Bloody Warrior Jay Murray who had attacked Dean McKenzie before could only deal about a hundred damage in a burst of one-turn skills without weapons.
With the attack from Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang, several dozen beasts were instantly killed.
[You killed the [Aged Wolf] (Elite) (level 26), you gained 70,000 Experience Points!]
[You killed the [One-Armed Monkey] (Elite) (level 27), you gained 80,000 Experience Points!]
Numerous system prompts refreshed.
The beasts in front of Dean McKenzie were wiped out inrge numbers.
Dean McKenzie raised his hand again and another Bone Fang shot out.
[Your Level has increased to 22, your Spirit has increased to 132.2, your Mana limit has increased to 2622!]
These beasts that had entered the Berserk mode were like weeds in front of him ¨C a great majority of them were wiped out in just a few seconds ¨C Dean McKenzie even leveled up!
Of course, this was quite normal.
After all, Dean McKenzie was capable of killing elites and even Excellent Temte beasts at level 20, let alone doing worse after doubling his attribute points afterpleting the nightmare mode job change.
Soon after, of the 176 beasts, Dean McKenzie had wiped out 174.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s level had directly risen to 23.
There were only two beasts left alive in the Duel Arena.
And these two, in terms of attributes, were seemingly countering Dean McKenzie¡¯s currentbat system.
Name: Ferocious Mantis Swordsman
Temte: Excellent
Level: Level 32
Trait: Dangerous Agility (D) ¡ª increases evasion speed by fifty percent
Attributes:
Strength: 16, Physique: 16, Agility: 70
Attack: 70
Defense: 16
Skills: Mantis Stance (Level 4), Danger Sensing (Level 3)
One-turn Skill: Mantis Saber (Level 2)
Just looking at the attributes, this mantis didn¡¯t seem particrly dazzling.
Against Dean McKenzie¡¯s impressive spirit strength of 134, its attributes appeared mediocre, yet its performance in battle was genuinely terrifying.
It could easily dodge Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang attack.
Even if McKenzie spread his Bone Fangs wide, it still effortlessly evaded them.
But this mantis was not too problematic for McKenzie.
After all, although it could dodge attacks, it didn¡¯t have strong offensive power, and so it couldn¡¯t pose a significant threat.
Dean McKenzie could handle it slowly.
After all, Dean McKenzie could make countless mistakes, but it could only afford one.
Compared to this Mantis, the other beast was a much more troublesome opponent for Dean McKenzie.
Name: Shadow Ghost
Temte: Excellent
Level: Level 29
Trait: Shadow Resider (D-level) ¡ª Immune to physical damage when immobile in the shadows
Attributes:
Spirit: 99
Skills: Shadow Shuttle (Level 4), Shadow Bind (Level 3)
One-turn Skills: Shadow Beheading (Level 2)
Compared to the Mantis, this Shadow Ghost was extremely vexing for
McKenzie.
Even if he managed to strike the Mantis, it could still die.
However, it was useless to hit this ghost.
It simply hid in shadows, and while it was there, McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fangs couldn¡¯t hurt it.
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fangs mainly dealt physical damage.
The worst part was, the ghost¡¯s shadow attack couldn¡¯t be categorized as physical or magic, but belonged to the spectrum of mental attacks.
This meant it could bypass the Bone Shield and attack McKenzie directly.
This was extremely problematic.
When facing this creature, the tide turned against McKenzie.
He was now the one who couldn¡¯t afford to make any mistakes.
If he did mishandle his moves, and the opponent directlyunched a Shadow
Beheading, McKenzie might be finished instantly.
Actually, if McKenzie hadn¡¯t had the Lich¡¯s Tear, a bottle with a Level 3 Mental
Resistance attribute, he would have been killed just now.
After all, he had no idea there would be a Shadow Ghost mixed with the beasts.
This was akin to finding a starving wolf in a pack of Siberian Huskies.
It suddenly appeared and almost killed McKenzie.
Since bing a career changer, this was the first time McKenzie felt utterly helpless.
¡°I have to enhance my skills.. Otherwise, there¡¯s no way I can ovee this Shadow Ghost!¡±

Chapter 78: 078 Summon Skeleton One Strong

When faced with the Shadow Ghosts, all Dean McKenzie could do was upgrade his skills.
Currently, Dean held two Grant Quotas in his hands, but there were hardly any skills that could be upgraded to deal with Shadow Ghosts.
After all, Dean¡¯s only attack skill was Bone Fang, and it couldn¡¯t be upgraded.
After scanning through his options, the only thing Dean could upgrade was Summon Skeleton.
¡°Upgrade Summon Skeleton. Enhance Old Seven. Old Seven¡¯s Little Nether me Ball can damage the Shadow Ghosts!¡±
Once he had made up his mind, Dean didn¡¯t immediately open the attribute panel to enhance his skills.
Instead, he first approached the six Excellent Temte beasts that had already been finished off, and used Extraction on them.
¡°[You have sessfully extracted attributes from six Excellent Temte beasts, gaining 60 attribute points, and six pieces of Excellent Temte fragments.]¡±
¡°60 attribute points? It seems that the upper limit of level 2 Extraction is 10 points.¡±
After obtaining the wanted Temte fragments, Dean then chose to enhance the skill Summon Skeleton.
The system prompt refreshed simultaneously.
¡°[You have chosen to upgrade the skill ¡®Summon Skeleton+1¡¯]!¡±
¡°[Due to the uniqueness of this skill, activating the enhancement of ¡®Summon Skeleton+1¡¯ requires two Grant Quotas. Do you want to activate the enhancement?]¡±
Two quotas?
Dean¡¯s eyebrows raised in dissatisfaction, but in this moment, he had no choice but to proceed.
¡°[You have activated the enhancement for ¡®Summon Skeleton+1¡¯. Please choose the main direction for skill enhancement!]¡±
Quantity or effect!
Without hesitation, Dean chose Effect over Quantity.
Firstly, quantity was not very useful at the moment. Moreover, if he really needed quantity, Dean could just open the Gate of Bone.
Over the span of a month, the number of skeletons inside the Gate of Bone had already exceeded ten thousand.
Dean could summon a legion of tens of thousands of skeletons at any time, but level 5 skeletons weren¡¯t very useful.
Therefore, enhancing Effect was the most important at this moment.
¡°[You chose to enhance Effect. You have 10 minutes for enhancement!]¡±
With each talent upgrade, the time for skill enhancement increased as well.
But whether Dean could use these ten minutes was still uncertain.
Because he couldn¡¯t focus on extracting attributes at the moment.
Even as Dean was still extracting attributes, the Ferocious Mantis Swordsman attacked again. Dean used Bone Shield to block the attack, but he was still knocked back quite a distance.
What infuriated Dean more was that the Mantis tore apart a beast¡¯s corpse.
His eyes turned red instantly.
What the Mantis had torn apart was not just a corpse, but Dean¡¯s attributes.
¡°Courting death!¡±
Dean raised his hand and fired a Bone Fang. The Bone Fang rose up and stopped forty meters away, then split down and attacked the Mantis.
At the same time, a Slow Curse was cast on the Mantis.
The Slow Curse skill was basically targeting-based. Once activated, it could not be avoided, but its effect was not very good. At level 2, it could only reduce speed by fifteen percent.
This had almost no effect on the Mantis. It easily found a gap in the Bone Fang¡¯s attack and stood unscathed amidst the assault.
However, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up at this moment.
¡°Gotcha. I¡¯ve told you, if you make a single mistake, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±
As Dean spoke, a Bone Prison rose up right under the Mantis.
The Mantis was startled and tried to escape but it was toote. It was directly trapped inside the Bone Prison.
Dean took the opportunity to fire a Bone Fang, which pierced through the Mantis¡¯s body and exploded inside it, leaving the Mantis riddled with holes.
¡°[You have sessfully killed the ¡®Ferocious Mantis Swordsman¡¯ (Excellent) (level 32) and gained 230,000 experience points!]¡±
At the same time that Dean killed the Mantis Swordsman, the Shadow Ghost didn¡¯t miss the opportunity either.
It turned into a shadow and lunged towards Dean¡¯s feet.
Though it made good use of the opportunity, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t standing idle. Though he was dealing with the mantis, his real focus was on the Shadow Ghost ¨C after all, the mantis couldn¡¯t prate Dean¡¯s defense.
So when the Shadow Ghost moved, Dean noticed immediately.
He raised his hand and initiated a [Holy Light Recovery].
Though using this skill made Dean somewhat ufortable, its efficiency was satisfactory.
Dean¡¯s mana was immediately restored.
More importantly, the holy light from the Holy Light Recovery dispelled Dean¡¯s shadow, forcing the nearby Shadow Ghost to retreat.
Dean seized the opportunity, casting an extraction on the [Ferocious Mantis Swordsman].
[You sessfully used Talent Extraction on the [Ferocious Mantis Swordsman], you gain 10 attribute points!]
[You are currently in a state of Skill Enhancement. Please choose whether to extract temte fragments or essence.]
Looking at the two freshly disyed prompts, Dean was taken aback. He could choose between temte fragments or essence?
Was this the effect of upgrading the talent?
Upon closer inspection, Dean realized that that wasn¡¯t the case.
Both the temte fragments and the essence can be used to enhance his [Summon Skeleton]skill.
This surprise Dean.
Almost instantly, Dean dumped all of his more than a hundred saved temte fragments, leaving only three to enhance his own Excellent temte fragments, into the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
At the same time, he chose to extract the essence of the [Ferocious Mantis Swordsman]and tried to integrate this essence into the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
[Please note that the [Dangerous Swiftness] you are integrating into the skill is not suitable for this skill. Continuing the fusion may result in failure. Do you wish to continue the fusion, or convert it into nourishment for the skill to naturally develop its traits?]
Dean was taken aback.
This was another situation he had yet to encounter.
Following that, Dean responded quickly and chose thetter.
A progress bar then appeared before Dean McKenzie.
It was clear that once the progress bar was full, a trait suitable for the [Summon Skeleton] would be generated.
Dean quickly went into action, vigntly defending against a surprise attack from the lone Shadow Ghost while continuing to extraction Genus Beast corpses scattered on the ground.
With more than a hundred Genus Beasts, Dean finally managed toplete the extraction of all the corpses in nine minutes and thirty-two seconds.
Subsequently, as the time returned to zero, the message on the system refreshed before Dean McKenzie.
[You have spent 57 gold coins, your skill [Summon Skeleton] has been enhanced!]
At the same moment, the attribute of [Summon Skeleton] in Dean¡¯s attribute panel also underwent a drastic change.
Skill: Summon Skeleton+1 (Enhanced once)
Level: Level 3 (1/10000)
Chant: Bone Servants of the Immortals, explore the truth of death
Basic Ability:
Summon: Summon 2 level 21 Undead Creatures (Skeletons) at once
Temte Enhancement: Can consume temtes to directly enhance the skeleton¡¯s temte of Bone Series. The enhanced target will be your Wraith Servant directly.

Simultaneous Existence: 8/10
Mana Consumption: 30
Traits: Bone Sublimation (Level 1) (Can activate Bone Sublimation to grant an enhancing skill to your Wraith Servants.)
Current Level Activation Times: 1/1
Looking at the attributes of Summon Skeleton, Dean felt a surge of excitement, almost explosive.
¡°Boom!¡±
At the same time when he was almost exploding with excitement, the gate of the Duel Arena exploded and a burly figure stepped in..
Chapter 79 - 79: 079 It broke, I have become a scum man!
Chapter 79: 079 It broke, I have be a scum man!
Trantor: 549690339
With a ¡°boom¡±, the Duel Arena where Dean McKenzie was standing violently split open as the restriction was lifted.
Elisa hurriedly rushed into the Duel Arena.
Twenty minutes had passed. She did not know, nor did she dare to imagine, how Dean had spent those twenty minutes. Was he still alive?
But the moment she stepped into the Duel Arena, her heart, which had been in suspense, finally eased.
Dean McKenzie was alive!
Not only was he alive, but he was also particrly well.
He didn¡¯t have a scratch on him.
Only one of the 176 beasts in the Duel Arena was left alive.
This scene put an immediate smile on the worried princess Elisa¡¯s face.
Her rosy cheeked pig face looked particrly naive and cute when sheughed.
¡°Mr. McKenzie, it¡¯s such a relief that you are okay¡ to hell with you!¡±
Midway into her speech, the Princess¡¯s face suddenly changed. In an instant, she appeared at Dean¡¯s side, reaching out and grabbing an inky-faced ghost from his shadow.
Apparently, this was the true form of that Shadow Ghost.
It had been preparing tounch a sneak attack on Dean while he was distracted, but it was forcibly dragged out from the shadows and caught by Princess Pig instead.
¡°How dare you attack Mr. McKenzie. You should die!¡¯1
The Princess Pig said, as she prepared to crush the Shadow Ghost, but Dean quickly called out to stop her.
¡°Wait, wait, don¡¯t kill it. This thing can be useful to me!¡±
As soon as Dean said this, the Princess Pig, who had been previously filled with murderous intent, instantly returned to her gentle, calm, and even somewhat shy disposition.
She obediently responded with an ¡°Okay,¡± and handed over the Shadow Ghost to Dean.
¡°Um, could you help me control this thing for a while? I¡¯m not ready to kill it yet!¡±
Dean had a bold idea in his mind since he saw the attributes of the ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± Skill. He was intrigued by the ability of these Shadow Ghosts to survive by moving through shadows.
This ability was quite powerful.
When it entered its Shadow Nesting state, Dean¡¯s Mana Attacks were unable to hit it, and the Princess was only able to seize it when it was about to strike.
So, his n was to keep it for now and, when the conditions were right, he would kill this Shadow Ghost.
¡°Sure!¡±
In response to Dean¡¯s request, the Princess Pig hardly ever said no.
With a nod, she took out a Crystal Ball and stuffed the Shadow Ghost into it.
Then, Dean received a ck Crystal Ball.
Name: Crystal Ball Sealing the Shadow Ghost
Level: Level 40
Quality: Bronze
Effect: After activation, it can release the Shadow Ghost and prevent the Shadow Ghost from using the Shadow Nesting Ability for ten minutes.
Dean was quite satisfied with these attributes.
Taking the Crystal Ball without any hesitation, he asked, ¡°By the way, do you have any Skill Books or Skill Stones for assassins?¡±
¡°Skill Books or Skill Stones for assassins?¡±
The Princess considered for a moment, then took out a faintly ck Skill Stone from her bosom. ¡°Will this do?¡±
Dean took it and checked it out.
Skill Stone: Enhanced Stealth (Enhance) (One-turn)
Usage Requirements: Assassin Profession Temte, One-turn, Agility 50, Spirit 10
Effect: Consume 30 Spirit Power, after activation, the user will enter a stealth state, bing immunized to twenty percent of all attacks, and sustaining the stealth state for one minute costs 1 point of Spirit Power. The first attack after the removal of the Stealth state will be twice its usual damage.
This Skill was like a godsend for an assassin.
¡°Thanks!¡±
Dean again, without reserve, collected this Skill Stone. He even asked her if she had any other Skills for a fighter mage.
His presuming nature aggravated the maid pigs in the background.
However, this time, Dean didn¡¯t manage to get any more Skill Books from the princess.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. McKenzie, this is the only Skill Stone I have, so I can¡¯t provide you with what you want now.
Also, the opportunity you have been waiting for has arrived.¡±
¡°Opportunity?¡± Dean was confused. ¡°What opportunity?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you want to leave Pink City? Well, now is your chance!¡±
The maid pig said enraged.
Hearing these words, Dean was taken aback.
Am I leaving already?
No, it should be said that the time to pay the price hase so soon?
Dean hadn¡¯t had his fill of the benefits yet.
¡°Uh, I suddenly feel like I don¡¯t want to leave that much. Can I stay a few more days?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Elisa shook her head, tender yet resolute.
¡°This opportunity is hard toe by. If you miss it, it would be difficult to find another one, so you have to go!¡±
¡°Alright then, let¡¯s go!¡±
Dean arched his eyebrows. Since there was no room for dy, he had to face it.
Although he did not know what this pig-faced Princess was nning for him with these previous two months of grooming, it didn¡¯t matter.
He had been in this instance for more than a month now; a day or two had passed in reality, and his group had probably left by now.
Under these circumstances, regardless of what the Princess¡¯s ns were, he wasn¡¯t afraid.
If worsees to worst, Dean will just run away!
With nothing to be afraid of, Dean quickly left the Arena with the princess and entered a narrow path inside the city.
Soon, the princess brought Dean to a residence¡ª more urately, to a secret passage inside of a residence.
¡°Mr. McKenzie, this is the secret passage I have prepared for you. Through here, you can leave Pink City.
Once you leave the secret passage, go southwest, cross the Ghostly Forest, and then cross the Fierce Wind Gorge. A twenty or thirty mile journey from there will lead you to a human kingdom.
Also, take this!¡±
While briefing Dean, the Princess took out a heavy pink bag.
Without even opening it, just by the feel of it, Dean could estimate that there were at least a hundred or two Gold Coins in there.
Without any reservations, Dean took it. After all, why would he feel ashamed to take money, even if it amounted to selling his own life?
While Dean took the money without guilt, Princess Pig bade him a fond farewell, ¡°In the human world, money is a necessity. This should be enough for you to use for a while.
Also, if you want to obtain the Necromancer Inheritance, you can go to ¡®Fern City¡¯ and look for someone named ¡®Crohn Merlin The Dead ¡¯. You may be able to obtain the Necromancer Inheritance from him.
That¡¯s all I have to tell you, may the Goddess of Fortune be with you!¡±
Looking at the ruddy-faced and reluctant Princess before him, Dean thought her sentiments were somewhat redundant.
He had already revealed his intentions, so he didn¡¯t need to beat around the bush. He really didn¡¯t have to act like this.
¡°Is that all? If you¡¯re done, then I¡¯m leaving!¡±
Dean, with a wave of his hand, turned and went straight into the secret passage. As soon as Dean entered, the Princess ruined the entrance of the secret passage from behind.
Dean wasn¡¯t surprised at all; he grasped his earnest money and continued on.
All the way, Dean prepared to leave the instance prematurely if he saw the situation turn undesirable.
A few hourster, Dean appeared, with aplicated look, at the exit of the secret passage.
In front of his eyes was a newly appeared system prompt.
From this system prompt, Dean received two pieces of information, one good, one bad.
The good news was that there was no danger in the secret passage. Princess Pig did not appear to have had any tricks up her sleeve.
The bad news was that he seemed to have be aplete jerk!
Chapter 80 - 80: 080 Pink City Shocking Change
Chapter 80: 080 Pink City Shocking Change
Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°You shamelessly took advantage of a girl who genuinely liked you, ruthlessly gaining sizable rewards from her. After everything, you wiped your hands clean and prepared to leave. Thus, you have splendidly unlocked the great Talent of [Scumbag]!¡±
Dean McKenzie stood at the entrance of an underground tunnel outside Pink City, staring at the system prompt before him with aplex expression.
He had not expected such an oue.
Even now, he could hardly believe it, murmuring under his breath, ¡°Did this damned system get it wrong?
How can there be no plot?
How could there be no scheme?
She¡¯s from the Pigman n, how could she possibly fall in love at first sight
with me, a human? It must be a lie!¡±
But no matter how much he quibbled, deep down Dean knew the system¡¯s prompt was quite likely true.
Setting aside his prejudice against the Pigman n, Dean thought about it rationally. If the other party genuinely plotted against him, they wouldn¡¯t have gone to such lengths.
He merely misunderstood. The other party didn¡¯t have anyplicated schemes; they simply liked him, that¡¯s all.
That was a big headache for Dean.
¡°What should I do now? Just leave?¡±
This would undoubtedly be the most beneficial course of action for Dean.
Whether the princess was scheming or sincere, he took what was given to him and could simply pocket it and leave.
¡°But by doing that, wouldn¡¯t I be a genuine scumbag? I don¡¯t want to take up the Deputy of being a [Scumbag]!¡±
That was one factor. On the other hand, Dean¡¯s moralpass didn¡¯t permit him to do that.
Originally, Dean¡¯s values weren¡¯t all that upright.
But ever since following Anthony,
It wasn¡¯t clear whether Dean¡¯s views had corrected, but his baseline definitely got higher.
At least, knowing that the other party didn¡¯t plot against him, he wasn¡¯t at peace just running away after gaining benefits.
¡°I don¡¯t want to repay her body with my own, should I return the things I got from her?¡±
Compared to repaying her with his body, thetter sounded slightly more reasonable.
But when he thought about returning what he had already eaten, Dean¡¯s heart ached so much it couldn¡¯t stand it.
¡°Damn, it would¡¯ve been better if she had plotted against me!
That way, I could¡¯ve eaten everything with a clear conscience!
She¡¯s so sincere! what the hell am I supposed to do!
Cursing and grumbling, Dean still turned back towards Pink City.
Although he hadn¡¯t figured out how to handle the situation yet, he couldn¡¯t just leave like this, right?
Soon after, Dean stealthily returned to the outskirts of Pink City.
Since he had juste out of Pink City, Dean didn¡¯t dare to openly return. Mainly because, after knowing the princess sent him out of the city not to plot against him, Dean vaguely felt that something was about to happen to the princess.
Therefore, he dared not reveal himself in broad daylight.
Very quickly, facts proved that Dean¡¯s caution was right.
Quietly arriving in Pink City, Dean found the city gates closed tight and Pigman guards on the city wall ready for battle.
What¡¯s more important is, there were several ces in the city where thick smoke was billowing out. Dean could faintly hear the sound of battle going on inside.
Seeing this situation, Dean¡¯s eyebrows rose.
¡°Has something really happened?
What happened inside?
Where¡¯s the princess?¡±
Pink City is under martialw at present. The guards at the city gates are all second-level beings, Dean simply couldn¡¯t infiltrate. He couldn¡¯t figure out the situation inside, and could only watch from outside the city.
Just as Dean stood there, unsure of what to do,
¡°Boom!¡±
A hole suddenly exploded on the city gate.
A figure was thrown out from that hole.
Simultaneously, a deafening roar rang out.
¡°Go!¡±
Dean recognized it. The figure being thrown out was indeed that of the Pigman maid, and the roar was from the Pigman princess.
After shended, the Pigman maid started to run without hesitation.
¡°Stop her, don¡¯t let her call for reinforcements!¡±
A cold voice from the city echoed. Several figures attempted to charge out, but were stopped by a shadowy figure.
That shadowy figure was terrifyingly powerful.
Despite being only one person, an opportunity was caught, and a figure rushed out chasing after the direction the maid had gone.
Dean watched the scene unfold.
His gaze swung between the shadowy figure and the maid, ultimately deciding to stealthily summon out his pet dog, Old Eight, to carry him and follow the maid at a distance.
He had no choice, the fighting inside Pink City was too high-level. Although Dean¡¯s current strength was absolutely among the top in the first-turn category, and he could easily suppress most second-turn beings, But the fight in Pink City had clearly surpassed the second-turn category. If he went in, he would certainly be toast.
He definitely couldn¡¯t meddle with the fight in Pink City. The only thing he could do was follow the maid and see if there was any opportunity to lend a hand.
The maid and the pursuer were both very strong and fast.
Although Dean¡¯s dog, Old Eight, had turned once, raising all attributes by fifty percent, and the main attribute point agility had increased to 100.5.
Butpared to the speed of the maid and the figure, they were still much slower.
Moreover, carrying Dean,
And because they were stealthily following, despite leaving distinct traces along the way, Dean still couldn¡¯t catch up with them for a while. Atst, the pursuer caught up with the maid and they started fighting, stopping in their tracks.
That gave Dean the chance to catch up with them.
But even then, by the time Dean caught up an hour had already passed. The fight between the maid and the pursuer had basically concluded. When Dean approached, the pursuer was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood.
There were at least a dozen wounds on his body, but the most horrifying and ferocious wound was on his chest.
The chest armor was already shattered, the wound was deep enough to show his bones.
However, despite this,pared to the maid, the pursuer could be considered light-hearted.
Because at the moment, the Pigman maid Chloe was knocked to the ground, her right hand broken, and she was vomiting arge amount of blood, apparently with no strength left to fight back.
At the same time as Dean¡¯s arrival, the kneeling pursuer stood up, walked towards Chloe, and raised his single-handed axe intending to hack at Chloe. Dean saw this and without hesitation, prepared tounch a Bone Fang at him. However, before Dean could attack, the pursuer suddenly turned around, and violently threw his single-handed axe directly at Dean¡¯s face.
¡°Oh, shit!¡±
Dean hadn¡¯t finished cursing when the axe had alreadynded on his forehead¡
Chapter 81 - 81: 081 First Kill Second-turn
Chapter 81: 081 First Kill Second-turn
Trantor: 549690339
50 miles outside of Pink City.
With a ¡°thud¡±.
The Pighead n across from Dean McKenzie noticed him instantly and swung their one and a half meter long single-handed axe directly at his forehead.
The [Holy Light Ring]in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand lit up instantly, and effect 2[Holy Light Protection]automatically activated. The familiar embrace of a strong man instantly appeared.
However, just as the arms of the strong man opened up, before he could embrace Dean McKenzie, the holy light in front of Dean shattered.
The single-handed axe fell on Dean McKenzie¡¯s forehead, sending him flying as fresh blood gushed out of his forehead.
The Pigman across, seeing Dean McKenzie knocked off, paid him no further attention.
A one-turn Mage getting hit like that would surely be dead on the spot.
So, it turned around and grabbed a Pigmaid, ready to tear her to shreds.
At the very moment it turned around to grab the Pigmaid, a Bone Fang projectilended precisely on the exposed area of its body.
¡°Poof!¡± The Bone Fang prated its lower body armor and hit the target squarely.
The Bone Fang shot right through his belly.
The agony that this pig was enduring at this moment was unimaginable.
An angry and bloodthirsty howl erupted, and its eyes turned a furious red as it went berserk.
Though it looked like it was in a rampage, it did not lose its rationality.
First, it grabbed the Pigmaid and put her behind him as a shield, then activated a skill simr to a dash, dashing over twenty meters in one breath.
With this distance put between them, the Pigman¡¯s heart immediately settled.
Though it couldn¡¯t figure out why a one-turn Necromancer could survive his attack.
That attack, even though it had exhausted him, had at least six to seven hundred Attack power. How did the Necromancer withstand it?
It also didn¡¯t understand why Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang skill had such a far reach, being able to hit a target forty to fifty meters away, not to mention its horrifying damage that could pierce his armor and pass right through him.
But who cares!
He has already run a distance of seventy to eighty meters away, with a Pigmaid behind to block for him.
At this distance, regardless of whether it¡¯s the Bone Fang or the Bone Spear, neither could prate through the Pigmaid, let alone hit him!
Feeling safe, a relieved smile crept onto the face of the Pigman.
At that moment.
¡°Fwoop!¡±
A faint sound echoed.
A Bone Fang pierced directly through the Pigmaid¡¯s thigh and into the waist of the Pigman.
At first, the Pigman was startled, but then overjoyed.
Scared because Dean McKenzie¡¯s output range and damage far exceeded its expectations; yet overjoyed because the Bone Fang pierced through its kidney, no big deal, it had two kidneys after all.
The next second, the Bone Fang inside its body exploded, splitting into dozens, shooting diagonally forward in an instant, utterly destroying not only its other kidney, but also its internal organs.
The Pigman froze suddenly, then copsed. Six or seven points of light erupted from its body.
At the same time, the system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie.
[You have sessfully in[Carter Becky] (Excellent Temte) (Level 60)!]
[Your level has increased to 24, Spirit has increased to 136.2, Mana has increased to 2662!]
After seeing the system prompt, confirming that the opponent was indeed dead, only then did Dean feel safe to approach.
[You have sessfully used Extraction on [Carter Becky], gaining 8 points of Strength, 2 points of Physique, and one piece of Excellent Temte fragment!]
The moment he approached, Dean McKenzie took a shot at the corpse first, then collected all the light points, opened the Gate of Bone, and threw in the light points, the corpses, and the barely alive pigmaid.
Afterwards, he shut the door, found some firewood, and set the surrounding forest aze.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t certain if anyone from Pink City could track him, nor did he know how to elude trackers, so he used this simple but brute method to avoid being tracked.
After setting the forest afire, he quickly fled the scene and found a small stream nearby to wade several kilometers inside.
After doing his best to eliminate his scent and traces, he released a few dogs to keep watch, then he entered through the Gate of Bone.
¡°Bang!¡±
Just as Dean McKenzie entered the Gate of Bone, a figure rushed at him seemingly to subdue him, but instead collided with Dean¡¯s Bone Shield and took a tumble.
It was the pigmaid.
Dean¡¯s eyebrow raised at the sight: ¡°Well, I have to say, your Pigman n is astonishingly resilient. Thest one took such a heavy hit and could still handle several wrestles with my Bone Fang.
And you, despite being severely injured, are ready to ambush me so quickly.
Quite remarkable!¡±
Hearing Dean¡¯s voice, the pigmaid froze. She did not know that it was Dean who saved her when she was on the brink of death, otherwise she would not have attempted an ambush.
However, seeing Dean now, her expression was not any brighter.
Partly due to the injury, and partly because she had some grievances against him.
¡°Why is it you? Didn¡¯t you leave?¡±
Dean had an idea of what her grievances against him were. In her eyes, he probably seemed like aplete jerk.
She wasn¡¯t alone, even Dean himself felt that his previous actions were somewhat excessive.
But Dean felt wronged.
He had been prepared to be set up but no one would set him up!
¡°Well, I had a little misunderstanding with the princess before, I thought she wanted to use me as a shield which caused me to act that way.¡±
Dean lightly exined while scratching his nose, and then asked about the matter he was most concerned about.
¡°By the way, what happened to the princess? Why did everything suddenly turn out this way?¡±
¡°All because of you!¡±
¡°Because of me?¡±
Dean¡¯s face changed immediately: ¡°Wait, you cannot just randomly pin the me on me! At most, I was a bit of a jerk without realizing it. How could that possibly trigger such a big incident?¡±
¡°It¡¯s because of you!¡±
Then, the pigmaid angrily said to Dean: ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you urging the princess to arrange this matter today, they wouldn¡¯t have set a trap for you in advance. The princess wouldn¡¯t have to kill that guy from the Becky family to save you.
She wouldn¡¯t have to reveal her power either.
Even if her strength was exposed, it wouldn¡¯t necessarily be this troublesome and there would still be room for maneuver.
But the princess was worried that once something happened, the Becky family would surely want your life, so she sent you out of the city in advance. Thispletely cut off any possibility of reconciling the conflicts between the princess and the Becky family. Plus, the provocation by the grand princess led to the war today.¡±
Dean listened to the pigmaid talk, his brows were furrowed deeply.
Even though it was just a short piece of speech, it gave Dean quite a lot ofplex information.
However, he was not interested in the struggle in Pink City at this moment, nor did he have any desire to argue whether or not this was really his fault.
What he wanted to know now was, after triggering this plotline, what should he do next?
¡°I need to go to the Tempest Woods next, where there¡¯s one of the princess¡¯s direct troop. If I can contact them, we might be able to save the princess!¡±
¡°Deal! I¡¯ll escort you there!¡±
Without any hesitation, Dean nodded!

As for the matter of Pink City and the princess, Dean McKenzie treated it as a task to tackle.
TO trigger unrest within Pink City, rescue the pigmaid, and begin a quest for reinforcements.
This was undoubtedly a good choice for Dean McKenzie, who didn¡¯t wish to be a scoundrel yet was reluctant to return the money he owed.
Moreover, if the task waspleted, the evaluation of the instance dungeon could be improved.
So, regardless of any aspect, Dean McKenzie had no reason to refuse! However, Dean McKenzie¡¯s straightforward agreement unexpectedly surprised the pigmaid.
She never thought this scoundrel, Dean McKenzie, would say such manly words, she found it hard to believe: ¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°You just hide here and tell me the location, and I will escort you to this so-called Tempest Woods.¡±
This time the pigmaid hesitated for a moment, quite shocked as she heard Dean McKenzie confirming again that he would escort her to the Tempest Woods. She eventually handed a map to Dean McKenzie after a moment of hesitation.
¡°Above is the map leading to the Tempest Woods, but be careful, the Grand Princess and the Beyko n will not let me reach the Tempest Woods easily.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about this, just stay here and recuperate!¡± Dean McKenzie received the map and used the Holy Light Recovery skill of the Holy Light Ring on the pigmaid.
However, the Holy Light Ring was only level 21 equipment after all, so its healing capacity was a drop in the bucket for a level 60 pigmaid. It merely treated some minor external injuries, so after receiving treatment, the pigmaid remained severely injured.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t seem surprised by this, after applying the treatment, his eyesnded on the light spots dropped by the pigman.
¡°You have unlocked 7 light spots, obtaining 12 gold coins, the Pig Bone Dagger and Silent Boots equipment, and the Dagger Poisoning skill!¡±
The pigman sure gave Dean McKenzie a big surprise.
12 gold coins weren¡¯t much deal. After all, Dean McKenzie had just taken advantage of someone¡¯s generosity, and he still had over a hundred gold coins. The important part was the two pieces of equipment and a skill.
Equipment: Pig Bone Dagger
Quality: Bronze
Level: 27
Usage Condition: Assassin
Effect 1: Includes Armor Break level 3 (can break a defense within 250 points) Effect 2: Includes Bleeding level 3 (can cause massive bleeding in the target, healing level 3 and below cannot heal)
Equipment: Silent Boots
Quality: Bronze
Level: 25
Usage Condition: Assassin
Effect 1: Silent Movement (eliminates noise during movement to the greatest extent)
Effect 2: Agility increased by 15,
Effect 3: Defense increased by 15
Skill: Dagger Poisoning
Description: Assassin skill, once learned, you can poison the dagger, making the dagger attack carry a poisoning effect.
ps: Poisoning requires poisoning materials
Learning Condition: Assassin
¡°It¡¯s unusual for a level 60 monster to drop two one-turn equipment, perhaps because this instance dungeon is a one-turn instance dungeon. It¡¯s great it¡¯s just right for Doggy Eight!¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie called Doggy Eight over and gave it the three items.
Your wraith servant Doggy Eight has learned the Dagger Poisoning skill!¡± By now, Doggy Eight, equipped and armed with a new skill, was starting to seem impressive.
But for Dean McKenzie, this still wasn¡¯t enough!
¡°At the moment, my Summon Skeleton has one elite temte and a skill enhancement slot avable on the skeleton skill.
Let¡¯s give them all to Doggy Eight.
It has a richer array of growth conditions right now!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie started to act immediately.
He didn¡¯t immediately give the skill enhancement, but he did give the temte first.
Using the Temte Enhancement function of your Summon Skeleton, you are prepanng to upgrade the temte quality of your wraith servant Doggy Eight! The enhancement temte is an Excellent Temte, requiring 5 gold coins to be paid. But since the target has gone through a one-turn, an additional 5 golds need to be paid. It costs a total of to gold coins, do you wish to pay?¡± Previously, Doggy Two and the others paid 50 silver coins for an Elite temte, now it¡¯s 20 times that.
But what could Dean McKenzie do? He had to pay it anyway!
Fortunately, Dean still has some money, so he doesn¡¯t mind spending a bit.
[Your Wraith Servant quality starts to improve!]
With the system notification, Doggy Eight standing in front of Dean McKenzie began to glow with a grey light.
In this gray light, Doggy Eight¡¯s appearance began to rapidly change. The originally near 1.7-meter-tall Doggy Eight began to shrink bone by bone until it was only about 1.5 meters in height. Its bright Pupil Fire and bones had also turned into a less noticeable gray color.
At a nce, it looked like something that could not be discovered when standing in the corner.
As Doggy Eight¡¯s image transformationpleted, a new system prompt refreshed.
[Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Eight, has had its temte promoted to ¡®Undistinguished Skeleton Assassin¡¯. Strength, Physique, and Spirit increased by 5 points, Agility increased by 20 points, Spirit Power Limit raised to 120!] [Your Wraith Servant Doggy Eight¡¯s temte has changed, and its base attack power has been changed to Agility times 0.8!]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Eight activated the trait ¡®Weak Presence¡¯!]
Name: Undistinguished Skeleton Assassin (Doggy Eight)
Level: Level 21
Temte: Excellent
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Trait: Weak Presence (D) (Passively reducing one¡¯s own presence by fifty percent, the probability of being detected is reduced by fifty percent)
Attribute points:

Attack: 96.4
Defense: 5.5
Spirit Power: 120
Skills: Backstab (Level 1) Dagger Poisoning (Level 1)
Equipment: Pig Bone Dagger (27) (Bronze), Silent Boots (25) (Bronze)
Watching Doggy Eight¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but smirk.
These attributes have reached the point of being extravagantly good.
But, this was far from over.
Dean McKenzie has already prepared a ¡°Strong Stealth¡± skill book for Doggy Eight and a Shadow Ghost is ready to enhance the ¡°Strong Stealth¡± skill.
Once this skill was enhanced, Doggy Eight¡¯s strength would achieve an entirely new realm.??????????????????????????? 7
It would then definitely be a god-like figure of death within the darkness! Just think of an assassin who can turn invisible, traverse through shadows and has a shortage of presence, isn¡¯t this simply the nightmare of all that are brittle and weak?
Dean McKenzie was now really looking forward to Doggy Eight fully developing.
After upgrading Doggy Eight¡¯s temte, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t leave the Land of Bone.
He still held an Excellent temte in his hand. With Doggy Eight¡¯s upgrade he won¡¯t forget to take care of himself.
[You have sessfully synthesized the ¡®Excellent¡¯ Temte!]
[You spent 10 Gold Coins to apply the ¡®Excellent¡¯ Temte to your Spirit attribute!]
[Your temte has started to upgrade!]
In the System Prompt, under the astonished gaze of thedy pig, another grey
light enveloped Dean McKenzie¡
In a bid to encourage my friend¡¯s book, he promised me good deeds, I support his work.

In the Land of Bone, basking in a gray glow, Dean McKenzie felt as invigorating as being submerged in a hot bath after being near frozen in the cold of winter.
Simultaneously, Dean McKenzie felt as if something within him was about to emerge.
After about ten minutes, the gray light ended. Like a bud breaking through the soil in spring, a system notification refreshed before Dean¡¯s eyes.
[Your Mental Attribute Temte has been upgraded to [Excellent], increasing your Mental Attribute by 40 points!]
[Your upper limit of Spiritual Power has increased to 176.2, Mana cap has increased to 3062, and Mana Attack has increased to 276.2! ]
[Your Spiritual Power earned the trait [Mental Fortitude] (D-Level)] Mental Fortitude (D-Level) (It offers a fixed 50% mental power defense. Mental attacks below this value are ineffective against you, and those above it have their effects reduced by 50%
ps: Any mental attacks surpassing 10 times your Spiritual Power cap ignore this trait!)
Scores of system prompts were refreshed.
Reading these notifications and feeling the changes in his spiritual power, Dean couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brow.
¡°This upgrade is unlike Doggy Eight¡¯s temte upgrade, which upgraded directly to his profession. My temte upgrade only applies to my mental attribute.
What the hell? Is it because I shortchanged it?
Why is it so unfair to¡ wait a minute, it seems it didn¡¯t do me wrong after all!¡± Upon closer inspection, Dean noted that he wasn¡¯t short of any attributes or traits.
¡°In other words, because I choose to grant the mental attribute, it didn¡¯t upgrade my profession temte, but the mental attribute temte instead. That¡¯s why all my other attributes are still listed separately.
Does this mean, even though my mental attribute is at Excellent temte, my other attributes are still at the Ordinary temte, and as long as I have Grant Quotas, I can still enhance them one by one.
When each attribute is enhanced, wouldn¡¯t their attributes increase and gain traits?
Meaning, even with the same Excellent temte, I can have up to seven, no, eight Excellent temtes, along with eight traits and eight times the granted attributes. Even without considering the subsequent enhancements, just the current enhancements could add up to 90 points to each attribute.¡±
Having done the calctions, Dean couldn¡¯t help drawing a sharp breath.
Dean had initially thought that being able to upgrade all the attributes like Doggy Two with one grant while he had to unlock his one by one was a raw deal.
But now, Dean suddenly realized his vision had been too narrow.
¡°I was only thinking about the hardship, but who could¡¯ve thought there was such a great advantage right before me.¡±
Upon noticing the advantage, Dean became excited. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have avable grant quotas, so he could only covet them.
¡°Let¡¯s leave that forter. Let¡¯s get this job done first!¡±
Then, Dean took out the map given by the maid pig and spent about half an hour studying it with her. Eventually, Dean figured out the route to the Tempest Woods.
The Tempest Woods were approximately two hundred miles northwest of Pink City. Dean currently stood almost equidistant from there. But Dean couldn¡¯t possibly go straight there.
After all, the journey was fraught with danger. There were even third-turn creatures lurking along the way. With Dean¡¯s current strength, traversing such terrain would be suicidal.
So, Maid Pig drew a route for Dean.
Following Maid Pig¡¯s route, Dean would have to travel five to six hundred miles instead of the original one hundred-plus.
Well, it couldn¡¯t be helped as Dean was not strong enough.
Though he had saved her, his power was only at one-turn, and traveling through a hundred-plus miles was too daunting.
Furthermore, the journey would certainly not be smooth. Those from the Becky family would definitely set up roadblocks along the way.
Given Dean¡¯s strength, since he couldn¡¯t cross the hundred-mile distance in a short period and reach the Tempest Woods quickly, his only option was to steadily proceed.
With a worried expression, Maid Pig exined: ¡°Although I¡¯ve drawn a route for you that avoids as much danger as possible, your strength is still a bit too weak. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t absolutely necessary, I wouldn¡¯t want you to get involved. For a one-turn necromancer like you, this task is simply too dangerous.¡±
¡°So what if I¡¯m one-turn? Looking down on one-turn? Don¡¯t forget who saved you!
You can put your mind at ease. I guarantee I can safely bring you to the
Tempest Woods!¡±
Dean patted his chest, exuding confidence.
Joking around, Dean felt quite confident in himself after his recent Excellent-temte upgrade and power surge.
Having said that, Dean stepped through the Gate of Bone, ready to embark on his long journey of delivering the news.
Maid Pig, on the other hand, watched Dean¡¯s spirited silhouette stepping through the Gate of Bone, and couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit dazed.
Although she always believed that their princess had gone blind to have chosen such a human scum, she had to admit, Dean¡¯s figure was quite manly at that moment.
Then, Maid Pig realized what it meant by handsomeness doesn¡¯tst for more than three seconds.
¡°Damn it!¡±
Dean, who had confidently walked through the gate, immediately stumbled back into the Land of Bone.
Maid Pig was taken aback and hadn¡¯t yet reacted to the situation when a voice was heard from outside.
¡°I knew something was odd about this ce. Why were there skeletons guarding here? I camped here for a while and lo and behold, there¡¯s indeed a reward.
Thank goodness I didn¡¯t follow orders and set up the card, otherwise, I would¡¯ve missed this achievement!¡±
Almost at the same time, Dean received several system notifications.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) has been killed!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Five) has been killed!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Six) has been killed! ]
Three more ¡°doggies¡± were in.
However, at that moment, Dean couldn¡¯t afford to mourn because the Gate of
Bone that was opened two meters high was forced open, with a frightful-looking member of the Pighead n walking in.
Behind him were a batch of well-equipped Pighead n soldiers.
Seeing the Pighead n members who had entered, Maid-Pig¡¯s face drained of color.
She instantly recognized the Pighead n leader as a centurion in the Becky family¡¯s private army ¨C a second-turn level 50.
The Pighead soldiers behind him were all level 40 elite temte Pighead infantrymen.
Are they all doomed?
She had anticipated that Dean¡¯s journey to the Tempest Woods would be dangerous, but she didn¡¯t expect the danger toe so quickly. Dean hadn¡¯t even officially started, before being blocked at the gate.
In her current state, she couldn¡¯t fight back. With just Dean, he might be¡ Eh!
Maid-Pig suddenly noticed something odd about Dean¡¯s expression ¨C he didn¡¯t seem scared, but instead, appeared somewhat excited!

PS: Some attributes were not detected.
PSS: The detected attributes are estimated and may be slightly off.
The attributes before him belonged to the Pigman soldier and their leader.
The former has the normal attributes of a generic elite temte at level 40.
10 base attribute points, 20 from upgradation, plus forty percent from the first-turn amplification, and another 40 from second-turn attribute upgrade. Generally, an elite with such a temte would have around 85 attribute points upon reaching level 40 after the first turn.
Even for the Centurion with an excellent temte at level 50, the attribute points are still around 270.
However, Dean McKenzie, who is only at first-turn level 24, has already broken two hundred total attribute points, and his single highest attribute even reached 176. He¡¯s like a cheat character in the game.
But when McKenzie, this cheat-like existence, saw the opponent¡¯s attributes, his previous nervousness immediately vanished.
Dean was no longer nervous. He waited for all the opponents toe in before closing the Gate of Bone.
The Centurion saw Dean closing the gate but didn¡¯t care. His eyes swept back and forth between Dean and the maid pigwoman, finally resting on Dean.
¡°You must be the human the princess fancies. How lucky you are to find such a great credit!¡±
¡°You think I¡¯m a credit fallen from the sky, well, I think you guys are actually experience points and essences falling from the sky!¡±
Dean grinned, not waiting for the pigman¡¯s reaction before taking the initiative.
He raised his hand, and a Bone Fang shot into the sky before scattering into dozens of smaller bone fangs raining down.
Countless bone fangs fell as if it were raining.
¡°Pffft!¡±
A series of delicate sounds sounded.
One by one, the small bone fangs pinned the pigmen to the ground.
On the spot, a few pigmen were instantly killed by Dean.
Yes, several!
The vitality of this group of pigmen is frightfully resilient. Even if Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang managed to pierce a few holes through them, they continue to hop around gleefully unless they were hit in a vital spot.
However, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang skill did manage to intimidate them.
¡°What a powerful skill, but does it matter?¡±
¡°We have so many people here, how many can your Bone Fang take away?¡±
¡°Attack!¡±
At the order of the Pighead n¡¯s Centurion, the pigmen charged toward Dean McKenzie, their eyes red with fury!
This scene reminded him of the arena.
However, the difference was, this group of pigmen were more disciplined than the beasts in the arena. They didn¡¯t just rush forward blindly, they charged at Dean McKenzie in an organized formation.
On Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, he snapped his fingers to have Doggy Two carry the Pig Maid away and then put up his Bone Shield as the pigmen charged towards him.
Only then did he throw out Bone Fang to counterattack.
As soon as the Bone Fang was thrown out, the pigmen immediately stopped their charge and assumed a Defense Stance.
The level 4 Defense Stance increased their defense by 2.5 times their base defense, raising their defense to 167.5.
This defense level was already quite high, but it¡¯s still no match for the Bone Fang with 67.5 points of pration.
The pigmen at the front lines quickly fell, riddled with holes.
As one wave fell, another wave of pigmen surged forward, closing the distance while Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill is on cooldown.
The two parties were not more than a few dozen meters apart. Dean McKenzie only managed to fire three Bone Fangs, killing less than twenty pigmen before he was swarmed by the group.
Seeing Dean McKenzie being overwhelmed, the Pig Maiden wanted to rush up and help.
Though she didn¡¯t like Dean McKenzie much, that did not prevent her from caring about his life.
But she barely moved before she was struck dumb.
She was speechless and shocked.
After Dean McKenzie had enhanced his Bone Shield to level 4, twice, the Bone Shield had be a 270-degree rotating shield.
The protective area was quiterge.
But there was still a slight gap.
After swarming Dean McKenzie, the pigmen quickly identified the powerful defense of the Bone Shield and began attacking Dean through the gaps.
In no time, a Wolf Tooth Club had struck Dean right on his forehead.
That was what shocked the Pig Maiden.
A single attack from a pigman soldier with a base attack of7O did not blow Dean¡¯s head off when itnded on his forehead.
She was finding it hard to believe that Dean McKenzie¡¯s skull was so hard.
While the Pig Maiden was dumbfounded, Dean raised his hand and cast out Bone Fang, frantically harvesting the surrounding pigmen.
At such a close distance, when Bone Fang erupted, the pigmen had nowhere to hide. The paper-thin pigmen were taken away in patches by the spreading Bone Fang.
Seeing this, the Pig Centurion hurriedly rushed over, swinging his Wolf Tooth Club.
However, as soon as he got close, a dazzling light red up, turning the Centurion¡¯s visionpletely white.
The Pig Centurion instinctively activated the level 5 Defense Stance, boosting his defense to over 700.
Sure, this defense could be considered extreme, but in front of Dean¡¯s Bone Fang with a power of nearly a thousand, it was instantly shattered, and the Centurion¡¯s head promptly exploded!
[You have sessfully in [Pig Centurion]!]
[You have sessfully exterminated the [Pig Elites] squadron of hundred!]
[Your Level has increased to 25, your Spiritual Power has increased to 178.2, maximum Mana has increased to 3082!]
[You have gained a new Grant Quota!]
While the Pig Maiden was dumbstruck, in less than three minutes, a hundred-man squad led by a second-turnmander was wiped out.
Of course, it was not easy for Dean McKenzie; he was hit countless times.
Although Dean tried his best not to be overwhelmed, he was still bloodied all over due to the defense of the Invisible Shield being reduced by the bone.
However, all this was well worth it for Dean.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Dean couldn¡¯t help but crack a smile, ¡°Now Doggy Two¡¯s enhancement will have a direction!¡±
Having said that, Dean McKenzie started getting busy.
The first thing he did was to have Doggy Two gather all the skeletons in the Land of Bones.
Taking advantage of the money in his pocket and the water source in the Land of Bones, Dean McKenzie was nning to go all out this time!
Chapter 85 - 85: 085 Terrifying Strong Stealth Skill
Chapter 85: 085 Terrifying Strong Stealth Skill
Trantor: 549690339
Land of Bone.
Even though Dean McKenzie has already reached level 25, which granted him an additional quota to strengthen a skill or attribute, he chose to improve Doggy Eight instead.
It was the most rational decision he could make at the moment.
In reality, despite Dean defeating the hundred-strong Pigman squad single-handedly, he did not do so entirely because of his strength.
A significant reason was that the Pigman squad¡¯s attributes were especially vulnerable to his abilities.
The entire Pigman squad was inclined towards defence and closebat.
When Dean first noticed these attributes, he couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Wasn¡¯t this practically handing him the victory?
The opponents he feared the least were just like this squad.
Even when the Pigman Centurion unleashed his full defensive abilities, resulting in a defence of seven to eight hundred, he was a mereugh in front of Bone Fang.
However, this did not mean that Dean had the power to easily eliminate any second-turn opponent.
In fact, if the Pigman squad had adjusted their attributes slightly, leaning more towards being agile and offensive, Dean would have been heavily suppressed.
In conclusion, as long as the opponent preferred pure defence and closebat, second-turn Dean could handle them.
Otherwise, Dean¡¯s power was only at the normal second-turn standard.
At his present state of power, enhancing a skill or an attribute wouldn¡¯t result in a qualitative leap that could help him sweep through the second-turn or enable him to directly charge into Tempest Woods. However, strengthening Doggy Eight would be a different story.
¡°Next, the power of Doggy Eight¡¯s enhancement will determine whether we can reach the Tempest Woods!¡±
Dean immediately got busy while talking.
He didn¡¯t extract from the hundred-man squad first, but had Doggy Two summon piles and piles of skeletons from the Land of Bone to be killed and then extracted.
To gather enough Spirit for Doggy Eight to learn the [Strong Stealth] skill, he sacrificed the fragile skeletons that he had managed to save up in Land of Bone over the past two months.
After extracting 500 times within thirty minutes, consuming almost all the water in the Land of Bone, Dean gained 120 attribute points.
Out of them, 5.1 attributes were Spirit.
After extracting, he allocated 5 points from his Spirit to Doggy Eight. [You have consumed 20 Silver Coins, you¡¯ve assigned 5 points of Spirit attribute to [Doggy Eight], raising its Spirit attribute to 10 points!] [You¡¯ve used 100 Silver Coins to bestow 25 Agility attribute points to [Doggy Eight], raising its Agility attribute to 145.5!]
[This subject¡¯s attributes have temporarily reached the limit. Please level up the subject or enhance Talent Level!]
[Your Wraith Servant [Doggy Eight] has learned the skill [Strong Stealth] (Enhanced)!]
[You used the skill [Summon Skeleton] and activated [Doggy Eighths skill [Strong Stealth] for enhancement!]
Amid the flood of system notifications¡
Dean finished extracting from the bodies of the Pighead n scattered all over the ce.
From the bodies of a hundred level 40 elite pigmen along with a Centurion¡¯s body, Dean extracted 757 points of Attribute Points.
100 Elite Essence and 1 Excellent Essence.
Meanwhile, he also managed to extract the Shadow Ghost.
This was key for Doggy Eight¡¯s skill enhancement; it was absolutely critical.
After the extraction, Dean immediately killed it.
He swiftlypleted the extraction and then incorporated its essence into the skill.
[You have spent 100 Silver Coins, integrated [Shadow Dweller] essence into [Strong Stealth] skill!]
[You¡¯ve spent 807 Silver Coins, integrated 807 points of attributes into the [Strong Stealth] skill for enhancement and improved the skill effect!]
[You¡¯ve spent 100 Silver Coins,bining [Defense Strengthen] essence into [Strong Stealth] skill!]
[You¡¯ve employed 500 Silver Coins, merging 100 essences into the [Strong Stealth] skill!]
[Your Wraith Servant¡¯s skill [Strong Stealth] has been fully enhanced!]
Skill: Strong Stealth (One-time Enhancement)
Level: 1
Consumption: 50 Spirit Power
Effect: Upon activation, it enters stealth mode forcibly, is invulnerable for one second, and the first attack, after exiting stealth, gets a boost of 250%.
Trait: Power of Shadow (1 level). After entering stealth, it can travel through shadows, and the effects of detection skills on it decrease by 50%. It is immune to physical attacks.
Also, receives Shadow Power equal to 1.5 times Spirit plus 807. This power can block Mana Attacks and can burst out after exiting stealth to amplify its own attack.
Duration: 1 Spirit Power/ second (Entering Shadow Dwelling state can avoid consumption)
Cooldown: 30 minutes! (Cannot be used again within 30 minutes after the skill ends!)
Looking at the created enhanced skill, Dean couldn¡¯t help sucking in a breath.
The slight pride that had risen after annihting the pigmen squad instantly disappeared.
Especially after Dean tried to have Doggy Eight activate [Strong Stealth] ande near him, his previous sense of security suddenly vanished.
When Doggy Eight approached him after entering stealth, Dean felt strange.
On the one hand, he had activated his sensing ability through meditation due to being near a water source, enabling him to cover a radius of nearly a hundred meters with his spirit.
His spiritual senses could not detect Doggy Eight¡¯s traces.
However, the soul link between him and Doggy Eight told him that Doggy Eight was less than one meter behind him.
This bizarre feeling gave Dean goosebumps.
¡°This means that my proud spiritual sense is useless in front of a truly powerful assassin.¡±
Moreover, Doggy Eight can do more than just stealth.
Although it can only burst out once every 30 minutes, the damage it deals in that instance of burst is more than a thousand.
If it suddenly attacked me, there would be no chance of survival for me!¡±
In short, the enhancement of Doggy Eight directly enhanced Dean¡¯s sense of insecurity.
At the same time, elsewhere, the pigmaid, who had beenpletely puzzled by Dean¡¯s behavior, watched as he finished his work.
At first, she had no idea what Dean was trying to do.
But when Doggy Eightpleted skill enhancement and used [Strong Stealth], she was leftpletely dumbstruck.
She was familiar with the [Strong Stealth] skill that Doggy Eight learned.
But the moment Doggy Eight used Strong Stealth, she instantly realized that this was not merely Strong Stealth.
It was far more terrifying that Strong Stealth.
Even when she knew that Doggy Eight had entered stealth, she couldn¡¯t discover him, let alone sense any abnormality.
She was aghast that he had conjured up such a skeleton out of nowhere.
The Pigmaid suddenly discovered that the man in front of her was moreplicated than she had imagined.
She even felt that her princess, with her blind eyes, seemed to have seen something.
At least, after Dean had created this skeleton, their hope of reaching the Tempest Woods had greatly increased.
Elsewhere, Dean, having handled his emotions, gave Doggy Eight an order. ¡°Doggy Eight, go check out the situation outside, scout it out!¡±
Then, while Doggy Eight was out scouting, Dean began to inventory the items dropped by the Pigman squad..

Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie quicklypleted the inventory of the loot from the Pigman
n¡¯s group of hundreds.
There were 35 gold coins in total. Including what Dean had left, he had a substantial amount of 180 gold coins.
In addition to gold coins, there were about ten pieces of ck Iron Equipment
and two pieces of Bronze Equipment.
But, without exception, they were all equipment above level 40, especially the two pieces of Bronze Equipment, reaching level 50.
Moreover, the equipment required level 40 or a second-turn to use. It was frustrating for Dean because he couldn¡¯t use them and he had to sell them.
However, they yielded a book of [Defensive Pose] and [Heavy Strike] warrior
skills.
Dean had Doggy Two learn them all.
Looking at the skill attributes.
Defensive Pose (Level 1) (Consumes 2 points of Spirit Power, activates
Defensive Pose, increases defense by fifty percent)
Heavy Strike (Level 1) (Consumes 2 points of Spirit Power, delivers an attack on the target with twice the strength plus attack power)
Mediocre.
With these two skills, Doggy Two¡¯s attributes panel looked more impressive.

Attack: 75-4 (10)
Defense: 4-2 (45)
Spirit Power: 80
Skills: King of Bone (Level 1) Charge (Level 4) Defensive Pose (Level 1) Heavy
Strike (Level 1)
These were Doggy Two¡¯s current base attributes.
It¡¯s not weak at all, much stronger than those elite Pigmans who are level 40. Moreover, he hasn¡¯t wasted the past two months; his Charge skill has leveled up to level 4, which has made him quite formidable inbat.
However,pared to Dean and Earl, he looks quite ordinary.
While Dean was busy with these activities, Earl had already returned to the
Land of Bone.
It also brought back information about the surrounding area within 5 miles for
Dean.
¡°Three miles to the left, three hundred meters to the right, one and a half miles ahead, there are Pigmans. The maximum is a hundred individuals, and the smallest is a squadron of twenty individuals?
Upon hearing Dean read out the information that Earl had reported back, Maid
Pig furrowed her brows.
¡°It seems they have already locked onto this area, we must evacuate this area
as soon as possible!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Dean readily agreed.
Afterwards, Dean began to move, with Earl, who had entered stealth mode, leading the way.
Through the soul connection with Earl, Dean followed the path that Earl had taken, staying roughly a hundred meters behind him.
Along the way, Dean profoundly experienced what it meant to be in a of heaven and earth.
Within ten miles of Dean¡¯snding in the Land of Bone, there were two to three thousand Pigman soldiers conducting a sweep search for him.
If it weren¡¯t for Earl leading the way, Dean suspected he would have been found and captured within the first ten minutes.
Even with Earl leading the way, it still wasn¡¯t easy for Dean to escape from this
of heaven and earth.
It took several hours for Dean to walk around the Pigman soldiers¡¯ encirclement. Eventually, Dean was able to make it through without any danger after walking for tens of miles.
However, escaping from that encirclement doesn¡¯t necessarily mean Dean is entirely safe.
After getting out of that, Dean still needs to take Maid Pig to the Tempest Woods.
The danger on this journey is definitely not less than that of the encirclement. Although the road Dean took is that circuitous route drawn by Maid Pig, which is less likely to be discovered, there are still many Pigmans guarding along this route.
Every time they encountered Pigman guards, Maid Pig suggested Dean to detour.
At first, Dean readily agreed. If she said to detour, he would detour. But as time went on, detouring became time-consuming.
Dean¡¯s time in this dungeon was only three months. He had already spent two months in the city, and half a month detouring on the road.
If he continued to detour like this, Dean doubted if he could even walk half of
the route by the time he had to leave the dungeon.
So, Dean took a gamble and forcefully broke through one.
As a result, he managed to get through and wiped out a 20-person Pigman squad, but the Pigmen immediately reacted, and a of heaven and earth came by the same day.
Dean was almost trapped and killed.
In the end, Dean gritted his teeth and opened the Gate of Bone, throwing out tens of thousands of skeletons to set fire to the mountain and create chaos. It was only then that he found an opportunity to escape with Earl through the chaos.
This move was somewhat risky.
It was like a near-death experience.
But taking this risk wasn¡¯t without benefits.
The good thing was, this risky move made Dean¡¯s subsequent journey much smoother.
It only took a week for Dean to reach the edge of the Tempest Woods, only a step away from delivering the message inside the Tempest Woods.
But often, thest step is the hardest.
Dean hovered outside the Tempest Woods for three to four days, but he couldn¡¯t find an opportunity to get in.
There was no way around it, there were only two entrances to the Tempest
Woods.
And both entrances were being tightly monitored.
Moreover, the people keeping an eye on them were extremely powerful, and they even seemed to possess an item that could break stealth. Earl tried to approach them, only to be detected when he was just ten meters away. After getting hit, most of his Power of Shadow was depleted, and he almost died.
That level of power, Dean didn¡¯t even dare to use his Appraisal Skill.
Although Dean didn¡¯t use his Appraisal Skill, he still found out about their capabilities.
¡°Those two are both third-turn Pigmans from the Becky family. The one who attacked is a Level 61 third-turn Earth Warrior with an excellent temte.
The other one is a third-turn Berserk Swordsman at Level 66, with an excellent temte.
With the two of them watching, you won¡¯t be able to break through. But don¡¯t worry too much, they can¡¯t stay here for long, at most ten days to half a month they will have to leave!¡±
Maid Pigforted.
Dean snorted.
Ten days to half a month? He didn¡¯t know if they would leave by then, but he definitely would have to.
He only had two to three days left.
¡°They just guard here, would the army in the Tempest Woods allow it?
-They belong to the princess¡¯ direct lineage, she knows and tolerates them, so unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, they won¡¯t sh.¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°So they aren¡¯t afraid of these two guys!¡± ¡°Themander of the Tempest Woods army is much stronger than them, how could they possibly be afraid of them!¡±
¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s make another bet!
I want to test my strength against a third-turn strongman!
¡°No, we don¡¯t have to rush¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s necessary, I¡¯m running out of time!
Maid Pig wanted to persuade him again, but Dean interrupted her with a single sentence.
Shortly after, Dean began to prepare.
Time passed little by little during Dean¡¯s preparations.
Soon it was the nieth day since Dean arrived in this dungeon, thest day he could stay in this dungeon.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s meet the third-turn strongman!
¡°Wait!¡±
Maid Pig stopped him.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°I want to meet the third-turn strongman too!¡±
I used a clickbait title for the sake of the Three Rivers story, you guys understand, right?
If not, allow me to kneel before you first in irritation!

Chapter 87: 087 Earth Warrior
Trantor: 549690339
A dungeon, near the canyon of Tempest Woods, one of the two entrances leading into the Tempest Woods.
Prepared, Dean McKenzie opens the Gate of Bone.
Inside the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie triggers the massive water reservoir he spent an entire day building.
Dean enters the state of Meditation.
At the same time, Dean raises his hand.
¡°Servant of the Undying Bone, explore the mysteries of death!¡±
[You summoned two level 21 ordinary temte Skeleton Warriors!]
[You summoned two level 21 ordinary temte Skeleton Warriors!]
[You summoned one level 21 ordinary temte Skeleton Warriors!]
With renewed vigor, Dean summoned up all the remaining five spots of [Summon Skeleton], then waves his hand.
¡°By the Power of Death, build the unbreakable shield!¡±
Five skeleton warriors each had a Bone Shield added!
In the meantime, a Flow of Skeletons surged once again from the Gate of Bone.
Although the Skeletons in Dean¡¯s Land of Bone were annihted half a month ago, in the meantime, the quantity of Skeletons in the Land of Bone increased to several thousand again.
Dean summons them all in one go.
At the same time, he freely throws out Bone Shields.
A level 4 Bone Shield costs 150 Mana each, and Dean exhausts all his Mana in a single breath, throwing out twenty to thirty Bone Shields.
Even then, Dean felt it wasn¡¯t enough. He was even nning to throw hundreds more.
Just as Dean finished throwing those twenty to thirty shields, the silhouette of a member of the Pighead n emerged from the canyon.
The Pighead n member was 2.8 meters tall, with a single-handed axe in one hand and a shield in the other, wearing silver-white armor all over, and exuding an aura of ferocity.
Seeing the opponent appear, Dean raises a hand and casts Appraisal Skill.
Since they were prepared to fight, there was no need to be afraid anymore. [You sessfully used the Appraisal Skill, obtaining the opponent¡¯s attributes!]
Perhaps due to the increase in Spirit attribute, the sess rate of Dean¡¯s Appraisal Skill greatly increased, hitting right on the money.
The opponent¡¯s attributes appeared before Dean¡¯s eyes.
Name: Adrian Becky
Level: 65
Temte: Earth Warrior (Excellent)
Attribute points: ???
Skills: ???
PS: The level difference is too great, unable to obtain the opponent¡¯s attributes.
The Appraisal Skill didn¡¯t reveal much, it basically was as if it hadn¡¯t been cast at all.
It was like a throw into the void!
Fortunately, Dean didn¡¯t have high hopes, he had alreadymanded and nned for the worst while casting the Appraisal Skill.
¡°Charge!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, the howling Skeleton army, numbering two to three thousand, charged towards the pig-headed Adrian Becky.
Looking at the dense onught of skeletons, Adrian¡¯s face does not show any fear but only disys ridicule.
¡°Trying to use these thousands of Skeletons to hold me down, looking for an opportunity to break out?
I have to say, your idea is very foolish!¡±
As he spoke, Adrian¡¯s eyes turn red, and he activated a Charge skill.
Therge figure zed tens of meters in an instant, followed by a violent shield m on the ground the moment it stopped.
¡°Boom!¡±
A wave of terrifying air upheaved, and all the Skeletons within a five-meter radius in front of him, even including a few that had Bone Shields, were shattered and killed in an instant after this hit.
This sight made Dean¡¯s scalp tingle.
It¡¯s important to know that his Spirit attribute was as high as 178, and with his equipment, it was close to two hundred.
That meant the defense of his Bone Shield was as high as 1500 at the start.
But even with such defense, they died in a single blow.
In other words, the power of that single attack exceeded 1500, and it was also AOE damage.
How could Dean¡¯s scalp not tingle at this?
But, tingling or not, he still had to fight!
At the same time the opponent¡¯s attack touched the ground, Dean threw a Bone Fang at Adrian, who was more than a hundred meters away.
Taking advantage of the chaotic situation tounch an attack, Dean¡¯s move unmistakably counts as a sneak attack.
But even though Dean didn¡¯t y fair, the opponent didn¡¯t let his guard down.
Dean¡¯s Bone Fang just arrived, when the opponent¡¯s shield blocked what was previously Dean¡¯s Invincible Bone Fang.
Although the Bone Fang prated two or three centimeters into the shield, it didn¡¯t break through the defense, and Dean¡¯s attack diverted Adrian¡¯s attention towards him.
Adrian turned his head toward Dean¡¯s direction and showed a hideous smile, ¡°Human, I have found you!¡±
That smile gave Dean chills. He hurriedly turned and ran, at the same time ordering the Skeletons to block Adrian.
But how could a three-turn Earth Warrior be so easily blocked?
The opponent charged forward again, pushing aside the Skeletons in front of him with his shield as if they were small fries, and headed straight for Dean.
Just as Adrian was about to reach Dean, Adrian¡¯s ne suddenly brightened. It momentarily staggered Adrian and diverted his focus towards a different direction. He quickly locked onto the inconspicuous figure of Old Eighth among the Skeletons and went for him.
Old Eighth, who had initially nned to sneak past, failed to do so after all, as he was caught up by Adrian in two to three steps. The single-handed axe in Adrian¡¯s handnded with a violent force.
The axe emanated a crescent-shaped light that smashed onto Old Eighth.
¡°Snap¡±
Just in time, Old Eighth activated Strong Stealth and used its one-second invincibility to block the damage, then entered a stealth state.
At the same time, a Bone Fang cracked open on Adrian¡¯s head, transforming into dozens of tiny Bone Fangs and fell onto Adrian¡¯s body.
These Bone Fangs, each inflicting two to three hundred points of damage, did not cause any substantial damage when they fell on Adrian.
But then Dean¡¯s target wasn¡¯t Adrian to begin with.
Although he didn¡¯t harm Adrian, he did hit the ne on his neck,pletely shattering it.
With this, Adrian, who was originally able to detect Old Eight¡¯s stealth state, suddenly lost his ability to sense Old Eight¡¯s movements.
Adrian found out about it as well.
¡°Using skeletons as a distraction to attract my attention, and identifying my detection tool to destroy it, I have to say, human, you performed well.
If I¡¯m not mistaken, your skeleton should be heading towards the Tempest Woods, right?
Seems like your n was to use that skeleton to reach the guys in the Tempest Woods and request their help!¡±
Dean made no response to this, which Adrian saw as a tacit confirmation.
His grinning face became even more hideous.
¡°You¡¯ve nned well, but you missed one thing!
Your Skeleton¡¯s journey into the Tempest Woods, locating those people, and passing the message onto them, would take, at the very least, twenty to thirty minutes.
But you can¡¯t evenst ten minutes against me!¡±
Once Adrian finishes his words, he charges at Dean again,ughing viinously.
Meanwhile, Dean, hiding behind, keeps on throwing Bone Shields.
In the range of a hundred meters that Adrian charges, Dean puts out twenty to thirty Bone Shields in front of him.
With twenty to thirty skeletons, each equipped with a Bone Shield guarding him, Dean started to feel a bit safer.
But not by much.
Just when Dean finished deploying the Bone Shields,
Adrian came rushing, leaping high, lowering one hand and like a mountain top-pressing down, he came crashing down toward Dean with his shield!
Chapter 88 - 88: 088 Reward Settlement
Chapter 88: 088 Reward Settlement
Trantor: 549690339
Outside Tempest Woods.
Adrian of the Pighead n is about to smash down Dean McKenzie like a heavy mountain.
To be precise, he¡¯s aiming at Dean McKenzie s side.
It¡¯s not that his aim is off; he never intended to kill Dean McKenzie from the
start.
The Becky family needed Dean McKenzie to threaten the princess, so he had to stay alive.
Adriannded two or three meters away from Dean McKenzie.
Even if he didnd a few meters off, Adrian was confident that the impact alone could severely injure Dean McKenzie.
After all, he had seen Dean McKenzie¡¯s defense; it was only about one or two thousand. He couldn¡¯t resist it.
As for running away?
How?
Could Dean McKenzie, a Mage, dodge his, a Warrior¡¯s, Charge?
As the thought just rose in Adrian¡¯s mind, he saw Dean McKenzie, who was below hisnding point, ¡®whoosh¡¯ into the skeleton with his Magic Wand Beast and disappear.
The speed of this action was even more astonishing than that of Adnan, a
Third-turn Warrior.
¡°Boom!¡±
As Adrian¡¯s crushing mountain attack descends, Dean McKenzie is already maintaining a distance from, while throwing a Bone Fang attack at him.
Faced with this attack that made his scalp numb, Adrian couldn¡¯t afford to analyze how Dean McKenzie, a Mage, managed to run at a speed exceeding 100
Agility.
With his shield pinned under his feet, he raised the single-handed axe in both hands to resist Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang.
¡°Ding!¡±
Adrian¡¯s single-edged axe easily blocked the Bone Fang attack.
However, even though he had blocked the Bone Fang, the sense of crisis that made Adrian¡¯s scalp numb didn¡¯t disappear.
¡°Phut!¡±
Almost at the same time, a dagger stabbed into his knee from behind.
It¡¯s Doggy Two!
in fact, Dean McKenzie has never intended to let Doggy Two send a warning.
On one hand, there is no token to persuade the other party to believe him, and even if they did, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t hold on until rescue troops arrived, so he chose to use Doggy Two as a surprise.
Like at this moment, Doggy Two exhausted all his Power of Shadow, and initiated a level 4 Backstab!
Backstab (Level 4) (Consumes 30 Spirit Power tounch an attack from the back, the result is 3 times the Attack Power!)
The damage inflicted by a level 4 Backstab is as high as 510, plus the effect of the unyielding skill and 807 Power of Shadow, the damage inflicted by this attack was even more terrifying than Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang, and the damage nearly reached 2000.
The Pig Bone Dagger was thrust directly into Adrian¡¯s knee.
The sudden intense pain made Adrian¡¯s eyes crimson red and he tried to swing his single-handed axe unconsciously.
At the same time, on the canyon above his head, a once small Gate of Bone suddenly erged.
A figure leaped down, and Doggy Two popped out his head to activate the [King of Bones]!
[Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two, utilizes the power of the Bone Throne to activate the King of Bones, and Adrian is in a confused state for 2 seconds!] Thanks to this state of confusion, Doggy Two had retreated from Adrian.
And at the moment when the two-second confusion was about to end, the maid pig, Chloe, who had jumped out of the Gate of Bone,unched her attack.
Second-turn Skill: Blood Burst!
Second-turn Skill: Shattered Attack!
A terrifying light radiated from the 60-level Bronze Wolf Tooth Club in Chloe¡¯s hand. With her muscles bulging all over her body, she fiercely swung it down and smashed it against Adrian¡¯s head.
For this attack, Chloe burnt her own life and activated her potential to perform a third-tier horrifying damage.
Chloe¡¯s sacrifice was indeed worth the while.
With that hit, the armor on Adrian¡¯s head directly shattered, and blood even gushed from his every orifice.
But Adrian¡¯s head didn¡¯t shatterpletely.
As a third-turn Earth Warrior, his defense was even more formidable than Dean McKenzie had expected.
Having taken the hit, Adrian was surprisingly still alive. He quickly recovered amid the chaos, wielding his single-handed ax forcefully towards the pigmaid. Dean McKenzie immediately cast a Bone Shield to protect her.
The pigmaid simultaneously activated her skill.
Even so, she was sent flying by Adrian¡¯s ax, crashing into the wall of the canyon. Her fate was unknown.
Just as Adrian got up and prepared to pursue, a Bone Prison shot up and trapped him within.
Adrian, who was prepared to stand, was pushed back by the Bone Prison.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face beamed with delight.
A level 2 Bone Prison has four times the energy of Spirit; nearly eight hundred energy could be considered strong, but it certainly couldn¡¯t restrain a third-turn powerhouse.
If Adrian could be restrained, he would undoubtedly have been seriously injured.
Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity andunched a Bone Fang at the back of his head.
¡°Ding!¡±
The Bone Fang capable of over a thousand damage was actually deflected by the back of Adrian¡¯s head. It was because Adrian seemed to have activated a skill at that moment, bathing in a yellow glow from head to toe.
The glow was extremely defensive, it even deflected the Bone Fang. More concerning was that Dean McKenzie saw Adrian¡¯s wounds quickly healing.
¡°Is he drawing energy from the earth?¡±
Dean McKenzie, sensing something wrong while using Meditation, quickly spoke to the weakened pigmaid: ¡°Don¡¯t let him touch the ground!¡± With a raised eyebrow, and a gleam in his eyes, Dean McKenzie reopened the Gate of Bone; this time, he ced it over the water in the Land of Bone.
The Gate of Bone opened to its maximum capacity, with water from the Land of Bone rushing down andpletely engulfing Adrian.
Adrian¡¯s skill needed the earth to activate, but when the energy of the surrounding water surpassed that of the earth, Adrian¡¯s skill became instantly useless.
The yellow glow on his body shattered in an instant.
The instant the yellow light shattered, Adrian¡¯s eyes glowed blood red.
By now, he had realized that he was essentially screwed. He activated the Charge, using thest bit of his Spirit Power, in an attempt to take Dean McKenzie with him.
But even after he activated his Charge, rushing towards Dean McKenzie despite his injured body, he found Dean McKenzie moving faster than him.
On one hand, his leg was crippled; on the other, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Slow Curse was upon him.
More importantly, Dean McKenzie, in order to make a breakthrough half a month ago, used his Grant Quota, investing it in his Agility.
His Agility attribute was painstakingly elevated to Excellent.
And his Agility reached 145-9. Although it wasn¡¯t as effective due to the absence of the Nightmare Spirit, it was already terrifying. Furthermore, the Excellent attribute truly added another Trait.
¡®Swift as Wind¡¯ (D-Level) passively increases speed by 50%.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s speed, at 145-9, showed an actual effect of 218.85.
With this speed, he was not just faster than a rabbit, but he could also outrun turtles.
Adrian¡¯s Charge was unsessful, and after he was out of strength, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang shot at him, piercing through his eye socket and instantly exploding his head.
[YOU have sessfully killed ¡®Adrian Becky¡¯ (third-turn) (Excellent) (level 65)!] Poor Adrian, a third-turn powerhouse, fell to his demise due to his underestimation of Dean McKenzie and the pigmaid¡¯s joint attack.
More precisely, the MVP of the battle was the pigmaid who only made a single attack, but Dean McKenzie took the credit for the kill!
Once Adrian was killed, Dean McKenzie quickly collected his body. At the same time, he ordered Doggy Two and the others to assist the pigmaid and quickly make their way to Tempest Woods.
As long as they entered Tempest Woods, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mission would be consideredplete.
With Adrian being killed, Dean McKenzie¡¯s path was clear, and within a few steps, he entered Tempest Woods.
The moment Dean McKenzie set foot in Tempest Woods, the system prompt immediately updated.
[You havepleted this instance challenge, and your instance reward calction begins!]

[You sessfully survived 90 days and received a base assessment of

[You triggered the event ¡®Turmoil in Pink City¡¯ and elevated your grade to B-grade!]
[You sparked the ¡®Turmoil in Pink City¡¯ ahead of time and survived until the end, your grade is elevated to S-grade!]

[You¡¯vepleted the ¡®Posting Letters in the Tempest Woods¡¯ task, your grade is elevated to S-grade!]
[You¡¯ve finally received an S-grade assessment!]
Looking at the system prompts appearing non-stop before his eyes, Dean McKenzie was feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
¡°What¡¯s happening? Why did my assessment stop after the third notification? Are you saying that I killed a Third-turn boss andpleted that Oh-so-difficult mission for nothing, and it¡¯s not worth the easy food shoved into my mouth at the start?
What a joke!
Is this damn system nning to make me, Dean McKenzie, into a kept man? No way, absolutely not!¡±
Dean McKenzie patted his chest: ¡°This dungeon was an exception. I, Dean McKenzie, have a backbone. I swear that I will never be a kept man again, never!¡±
Pounding his chest like that, making that small vow, Dean McKenzie suddenly felt a lot better.
His eyes then fell on the loot he received from this raid.
[You¡¯ve received an S-grade final assessment, you¡¯ve been awarded the following! ]
[Reward 1: You receive one piece of silver equipment for your profession.
Reward 2: You gain one professional trait for your profession.
Reward 3: You¡¯ve received two ¡®First-Turn Skill Enhancement Scrolls¡¯!] At the same time as the system notification, a one-and-a-half-meter long Bone Wand appeared in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand, along with two scrolls. Simultaneously, a streak of gray light fell on Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie had already experienced this type of gray light twice before. When it fell again, he felt as if something was growing inside him again. [You¡¯ve obtained the ¡®Necromancer Trait ¨C Control over Bones¡¯!] Almost instantly, Dean McKenzie felt a new surge of power within him.
As Dean lightly touched it, the attributes of his third trait appeared before him.
Control over Bones (D-Level): improves the power of Bone skills by fifty percent, enhances Bone skills proficiency by fifty percent.
Looking at this trait¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but light up. ¡°This is definitely the one among my three traits that has boosted mybat capabilities the most for now!¡±
That¡¯s right. This new trait has amplified the effects of Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡®Bone Shield,¡¯ ¡®Bone Fang,¡¯ and ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ skills by fifty percent, exponentially increasing hisbat capabilities.
¡°If only I had this trait when I was battling that Third-turn Pighead, then I could have¡uh, it seems I still wouldn¡¯t have been able to oust them alone!¡± Dean McKenzie carefully pondered.
The only reason he could defeat the Third-turn Pighead was because of the massive damage dealt by the maid pig. Without her heavy blow, and without the massive amount of water Dean stored in the Land of Bone, it would have been hard to say who would have won.
Even with this new trait, Dean felt that he would most likely still lose in a one-on-one fight.
Even with the prior groupbination, Dean would still not stand a chance without the maid pig.
The gap in strength between both sides was too obvious.
Right now, Dean was still far from having the strength to fight a Third-turn opponent.
But Dean McKenzie was not disheartened. After all, he was still just a First-turn Necromancer. He was confident he couldpete with Third-turn opponents once he reached Second-turn.
Moving his attention away from the ¡®Control over Bones¡¯ trait, Dean casually tossed one of the two ¡®First-Turn Skill Enhancement Scrolls¡¯ onto the ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ skill.
After all, ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ was the only First-turn skill he had at the moment. Moreover, he was soon going to exit the dungeon, and he wasn¡¯t certain about the situation outside. He definitely had to enhance hisbat capability to the maximum extent possible.
[You have sessfully used the ¡®First-turn Skill Enhancement Scroll¡¯. Your
¡®Bone Prison¡¯ skill has been enhanced by +1]
Skill: Bone Prison (First-Turn) +1)
Level: 2
Chant: Mighty Power of Bone, Enve the World!
Mana Cost: 200
Effect: Cast a Bone Prison with energy value equal to six times the spiritual power to imprison the enemy. The enemy cannot escape from the Bone Prison until the energy value reaches zero.
PS: The enemy¡¯s attack power will be limited to eighty percent of their normal power when trying to break the Bone Prison from the inside!
This was the ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ skill after using the enhancement scroll. The effect of enhancement was actually pretty good.
It went from four times the spiritual power to six times the spiritual power, and the attack reduction increased by ten percent.
Now, without considering the ¡®Control over Bones,¡¯ Dean¡¯s ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ had approximately 1200 units of energy.
The numbers increased by fifty percent.
Dean tried using it, and found that the ¡®Bone Prison¡¯, enhanced twice, felt much smoother.
And the designated range increased from the original 2m x 2m to 4m x 4m. As long as Dean McKenzie activated the skill and the opponent didn¡¯t escape this range, they would be trapped.
¡°Not bad, but it¡¯s not astonishing. As expected, the Skill Enhancement Scroll only provides a bit of fun. True enhancement still depends on talents.
Since I can¡¯t strengthen the ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ to level 2 with the remaining scroll, I¡¯ll just keep it for now. Let¡¯s see if I can find a chance to get another First-turn skill. If that doesn¡¯t work, I should still be able to sell it for a decent price.¡± Even though he still had around 200 gold in his pocket, Dean McKenzie, who suffered from a minor fear of being penniless, had already begun to ponder how he would get by after the gold was spent.
¡°Speaking of making money, why hasn¡¯t my side jobe out yet? Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be within 30 days? I¡¯ve been in the dungeon for 90 days now ¨C it should be time!¡±
As Dean went on, he couldn¡¯t help but open his task bar to check.
He found that his Talent Development was still in progress and had more than ten days remaining.
¡°What does this mean? Does the time spent in the dungeon not count? Why can¡¯t it just give me the¡¡±
Dean McKenzie stopped mid-sentence.
He suddenly remembered that if the reward came now, he might end up with a lousy side job.
¡°Let it be, having more than ten days left is also good.
This way, I can struggle a bit more!¡±
Dean McKenzie sneered and refocused his attention on his loot.
He managed to resist the urge to look at his new magic wand¡¯s attributes just yet and saved the good stuff forst, instead deciding to inspect the points gained from the Three-Turn Earth Warrior.
[You¡¯ve opened six light points, you¡¯ve received 55 gold coins, and Equipment ¡®Earth Shield¡¯, ¡®Earth Ring¡¯, and the ¡®Pighead Summoning Order¡¯ item!] As the system prompt refreshed, two pieces of silver radiant equipment appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie was overjoyed and promptly picked them up for a closer inspection.
Almost instantly, his joy turned into sorrow.
Equipment: Earth Shield
Quality: Silver
Level: 65
Effect: Unidentified
Equipment: Earth Ring
Quality: Silver
Level: 65
Effect: Unidentified

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Damn it!¡±
Dean McKenzie was so shocked he nearly spit blood.
After struggling to get two silver quality pieces of equipment, they ended up being level 65 equipment.
Isn¡¯t this a waste?
Even if he could appraise the level 65 silver equipment, Dean McKenzie might not be able to use it!
But Dean McKenzie was still a bit unwilling to give up, after casting twenty or thirty skills, he finally managed to determine the usage conditions of the two pieces of equipment.
Third-turn, warrior profession, level 65!
¡°Beautiful!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s mindset copsed on the spot.
He directly tossed the equipment away, yes, to the Land of Bone.
Then he turned his attention to the remaining items.
Name: Pighead Summoning Order (Third-turn)
Effect: Upon use, randomly summon a third-turn pighead to assist you in battle for half an hour.
Remaining Uses: 1/1
Name: Bone Scepter
Quality: Silver
Level: 40
Durability: 800/800
Usage conditions: Necromancer (One-turn)
Effect 1: All bone-rted skill levels +1 (Up to level 6)
Effect 2: Increase spiritual power by 50, magic strength damage increased by 100
Effect 3: Attached skill [Bone Strengthening] (used on summoned skeletons, can strengthen the attributes of bone summoning skeletons by fifty percent.)
(Consumes 100 mana, cooldown time 10 minutes)
Seeing the attributes of these two pieces of equipment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mood improved a lot.
Especially when Dean McKenzie clutched the [Bone Scepter], he discovered that the levels of his [Bone Fang], [Bone Shield], [Bone Prison], and even [Summon Skeleton] had all increased by 1. His mood improved even further.
He was even eager to test his newly acquired weapon right away, but before he had a chance, the system prompt refreshed again.
[Reward settlementplete, you will leave the instance soon!]
A familiar sense of weightlessness came from the system prompt.
By the time Dean McKenzie stood firm again, he had already escaped from the instance.
At the same time, the [Goblin Uprising] Instance Scroll appeared in his hand again, except this time, the [Goblin Uprising] scroll had changed.
Instance Scroll: Goblin Uprising 3
Usage Level: 41
Description: Although it¡¯s still called Goblin Uprising, the content of the instance is unexpectedly not very Goblin-like.
PS: After re-entering the instance, the instance story will continue from where you left off.
Looking at the Instance Scroll¡¯s description, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes narrowed.
¡°Continue the previous story?¡±
To this end, Dean McKenzie was quite excited.
After all, although hepleted the task this time and received an S-level evaluation, thetter half of the instance was actually quite difficult for Dean McKenzie.
He spent a whole month being surrounded and ughtered.
The pigheads from the Becky family chased him like a dog.
Especially half a month ago, although Dean McKenzie escaped the danger sessfully, it was a close shave.
He was nearly left behind there.
This made Dean McKenzie remember themander of the Becky family who led the attack that time.
And the Pighead Great Swordsman at the other entrance to the Tempest Woods, an almost fatal encounter with the creature for Old Eight.
Dean had recorded all these grudges meticulously.
¡°The Becky family, isn¡¯t it? Themander, isn¡¯t it? The Great Swordsman, isn¡¯t it? You all just wait for me!¡±
By the next time he enters, Dean McKenzie would surely havepleted the second turn, and his battle power would also have definitely been elevated.
Plus, there¡¯s the Storm Legion in the Tempest Woods.
Dean McKenzie had juste out, and he couldn¡¯t wait to return to the instance to take revenge.
However, before that, Dean McKenzie had to ensure his own safety first.
He withdrew his gaze from the Scroll. As soon as the teleportation ended, Dean McKenzie immediately summoned the Bone Shield and carefully observed his surroundings.
¡°Boom!¡±
Dean McKenzie observed in solitude.
He had hardly steered his attention back to the world, a dazzling holy light rushed over, smashing next to Dean McKenzie, blooming like a small sun.
The intense holy light caused Dean McKenzie to sting all over his body.
But regardless of the pain, under the illumination of the holy light, Dean McKenzie felt exceptionally serene.
Because he knew, Anthony had arrived.
Soon, the holy light extinguished, and Anthony, riding a white warhorse, appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie was not sure what expression Anthony had under the holy light, but after the holy light ended, Anthony looked very rxed.
He nced at the scroll in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand, then looked at Dean¡¯s face and joked: ¡°You are rather unfortunate, kid. You followed the caravan and got mistaken for a merchant and got robbed. Fortunately, you have the instance scroll. Otherwise, you might have been killed by now.
Let¡¯s go, the caravan has left, I have some business in Thorn Oak City. I¡¯ll take you there!¡±
Ennis Hawkins offered his hand to Dean McKenzie, intending to help him mount the horse.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t reach out.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?
You despise me? You don¡¯t want to share a ride with me?¡±
Dean McKenzie nodded, ¡±A bit! Two men riding on one horse isn¡¯t as pleasing as a man and a woman. But that¡¯s not the main issue, I suddenly do not feel like going to the Thorn Oak City anymore!¡±
Having said that, Dean McKenzie sighed: ¡°Anthony, I may not be knowledgeable, but I do have intelligence. How much longer do you n on keeping me in the dark? Today¡¯s attack was not aimed at the caravan, it was aimed at me.
This much I can be sure of!
That guy attacked only after confirming my identity.
Tell me, was today¡¯s event a continuation of the Bloody Church incident in the past? Have I been targeted by the Bloody Church?¡±
Upon hearing this, Ennis Hawkins raised his eyebrows, about to say something, but Dean McKenzie interrupted.
¡°I think I understand why you wanted to send me away, perhaps you meant to protect me.
But as you can see, I¡¯ve just stepped out and I was already attacked. Can you assure me I¡¯ll be absolutely safe once I reach Thorn Oak City?¡±
Ennis Hawkins was about to say something, but Dean McKenzie interrupted him again: ¡°Of course, I trust you.
So if you insist on me leaving, I will surely not refuse.
But before that happens, I hope you swear to the holy light and sincerely answer me. If I leave like this, will it have any negative impact on you?¡±
Originally, Dean McKenzie just had an instinctual feeling that something wasn¡¯t right, but after experiencing the ¡°Goblin Rising 2¡± event, he felt that the situation where Anthony sent him away was familiar, simr to when Princess Pig sent him away previously.
That¡¯s why he was worried.
And with Dean¡¯s words, Anthony fell silent. Therefore, Dean now had his answer ¨C there would be an impact.
Surprisingly, Anthony was forced to throw in the towel with Dean¡¯s persistent questioning.
So, he asked another question seemingly out of the blue: ¡°What is your instance rating this time?¡±
Dean¡¯s eyes brightened, proudly saying: ¡°S-level!¡±
¡°S-level, right? If that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s go!¡±
Anthony said, reaching out to Dean McKenzie.
¡°To where?¡± Dean asked.
¡°Back to Spring City!¡±
Chapter 91 - 91: 091 Delegate
Chapter 91: 091 Delegate
Trantor: 549690339 I
Since he had decided to take Dean McKenzie back to Spring City, Ennis Hawkins no longer hid anything from Dean.
On the journey back, he detailed everything that had happened over the past few days to Dean.
Initially, it all started with the Book of Dark Promotion that Dean had in his possession.
That thing had suddenly appeared within Spring City.
The earliest discovery made by the Professional Alliance was at the South Hill Base, where someone had failed to use the Book of Dark Promotion and was corrupted by darkness.
Although the corrupted individual was found and dealt with promptly, the key artifact that initiated the corruption was not recovered.
Because of this, Anthony had been on an exhaustive search for the Book of Dark Promotion and was just about to obtain it when thest use was consumed by Dean McKenzie.
Anthony, however, didn¡¯t mind too much.
He sought the Book of Dark Promotion because its unpredictable behavior posed a threat to civilians.
But since Dean used up thest opportunity, this source of danger can be considered neutralized.
As for who released the book into the city, to be honest, Anthony didn¡¯t initially n to dig deep.
¡°Why not?¡±
On hearing this, Dean interjected, ¡°Why won¡¯t you expose them?¡±
Dean couldn¡¯t understand. From his perspective, in his previous life, these people were like terrorists spreading bombs all over the world, and definitely couldn¡¯t be let off the hook.
In response to Dean¡¯s confusion, Ennis gave him an answer he couldn¡¯tprehend: ¡°it¡¯s difficult to locate them, and furthermore, we dare not search for them!¡±
Dean was even more baffled when he heard this: ¡°Dare not search?!! Why dare not? Is it due to ack of manpower or ack of higher-ups? Why not just file a report to the Alliance and ask for assistance?
How dare a mere Fallen Professional organization cause trouble on our territory, it¡¯s outrageous!
Just kill them!¡±
Watching Dean in his passionate state, Anthony was taken aback: ¡°Do you have some misconceptions about the Alliance?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°From your words, it seems like our Professional Alliance rules the world, and any Fallen Professional organization dare not stir trouble on our turf?
It would be great if the Alliance could be as dominant as you suggest!¡±
After expressing this sentiment with a heavy sigh, Anthony informed Dean: ¡°In fact, the Alliance is not as dominant as you think, on the contrary, most of the time we have to tolerate the Fallen ones.
We tend to turn a blind eye to them unless they do something like a Blood Sacrifice.
Especially m situations like the previous encounter with the Book of Dark Promotion, which leaves clear signs of tasks being carried out, I could only collect the bodies of the corrupted if no innocents have been harmed.
As for the one who ced the Book of Dark Promotion.
As long as they know when to stop, we won¡¯t pursue them relentlessly, because if you push such a person to the limit, the consequences are unimaginable.¡± Saying this, Ennis looked truly helpless.
only then did Dean realize from Ennis¡¯s expression of helplessness, that he had misunderstood something all this while.
He had subconsciously assigned the role of the old-world official to the Professional Alliance.
He thought the Professional Alliance should have absolute control in this world, but it was only now that he realized that the reality might be entirely different.
This revtion was difficult for him to ept: ¡°Are we just going to sit back and watch these people do as they please in our city?¡±
¡°Of course not!
We can turn a blind eye, but once they cross the line, we won¡¯t tolerate it.
The reason we moved against the Bloody Church this time was because of this.
I don¡¯t know about other cities, but in Spring City, I won¡¯t allow any innocent person to be harmed.¡±
Ennis¡¯s firm response greatly relieved Dean.
Afterward, Dean didn¡¯t dwell on this topic but inquired about the subsequent events.
¡°After that, wasn¡¯t there a situation with the Skeleton Cave?
First, the Book of Dark Promotion and then the Skeleton Cave incident, I couldn¡¯t ignore such signs.
Thus, I started the investigation.
Just when we had some leads, we stumbled upon the Blood Sacrifice.
As a result, we moved against the Bloody Church in Spring City.
But after the operation, we discovered that someone had likely instigated the Blood Sacrifice.
In other words, the Bloody Church might have been used as a pawn and took the fall for someone else.¡±
¡°Next, we received bad news confirming that the Archbishop of the Bloody Church in Spring City was still alive, and he was the one most likely behind your attack.
ording to the intel we acquired after the church was seized, it seems someone had been in contact with him, secretly discussing a matter about Spring City and me.¡±
¡°About you?¡±
¡°Yes, it seems an ¡®old friend¡¯ of mine is nning a ¡®surprise¡¯ for me!¡±
¡°A surprise? What surprise?¡±
¡°ording to the intel we currently have, the nature of the surprise is still unclear, but one thing is certain: they¡¯re nning some major event in Spring City, which is likely to cause considerable damage.¡±
As he said this, Ennis turned his gaze towards Dean: ¡°and the only lead we have right now is the Demon Box you handed overst time!¡±
On hearing this, Dean¡¯s eyebrows raised: ¡°The Demon Box requires me to open it?¡± r
¡°Our colleagues in theboratory could as well, but it would take them at least two to three months.¡±
¡°Then leave this task to me!¡±
Without hesitation, Dean patted his chest and volunteered.
Anthony shook his head: ¡°You shouldn¡¯t make that decision yet. This is a dangerous mission. The prerequisite for you to open the Demon Box is to clear a side dungeon activated by the box.
That¡¯s a hell-level survival dungeon!
It¡¯s more than ten times harder than the Nightmare-level dungeon you cleared before, and if you don¡¯t clear it, you¡¯ll die.
Furthermore, considering how you were obstructedst time, there might be more dangers in the dungeon, and once you enter, it basically amounts to courting death.
I suggest you apany me back, and I¡¯ll publicly dere that you failed to clear the dungeon, stating that I saved your life with a special artifact.¡±
Ennis¡¯s words left Dean stunned.
Only then did he realize that although Ennis had brought him back, he hadn¡¯t actually decided to let him take action.
However, at that moment, Dean was more concerned about another issue. ¡°Anthony, if I don¡¯t take action and you can¡¯t capture that person in time, won¡¯t many people die if he causes a great deal of destruction in Spring City?
Why won¡¯t you let me¡¡±
Dean¡¯s words were interrupted by Ennis: ¡°Life isn¡¯t a math problem!
Both you and the citizens of Spring City, I must protect!¡±
Chapter 92 - 92: 092 Test
Chapter 92: 092 Test
Trantor: 549690339
Naive!
So utterly naive!
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t understand why Anthony, being of a certain age, was
still so naive.
It¡¯s as if when someone asked him a moral dilemma whether to choose to sacrifice one or sacrifice many, he effortlessly asserted that he would save
them all.
This naivety even manifests a hint of willfulness.
But Dean had to admit, he didn¡¯t dislike this side of Anthony.
Rather, he felt that when Anthony stated this, there was a glow around him.
But that glow quickly faded away.
Anthony extinguished it himself.
Mainly because he felt a little bit ashamed after he said it.
With a flushed face, Anthony was rtively silent on the way back.
When they returned to Spring City, Anthony, who was full of embarrassment, tore the Scroll and once again brought Dean into thatb.
He took Dean to a room within theb, specially designed forbat data analysis.
¡°Bang!¡±
As soon as the room door closed, Anthony started undressing.
Dean was taken aback: ¡°Damn, Anthony, what are you nning to do?¡±
¡°I am going to spar with you!¡±
While Anthony answered, he took off his clothes, or to be precise, his
Equipment.
Dean scrutinized his gear carefully and raised an eyebrow.
Initially, he thought Anthony, who effortlessly had a Holy Light Ring, must be rich. But now that Anthony had stripped off all his gear, Dean discovered that the most valuable thing Anthony had, was that Silver-rated sword.
The rest were mostly Bronze, and even one of his rings was ck Iron.
He seemed to look quite poor.
Dean was quite perplexed about how Anthony ended up in such a state.
While he was examining all of this, Anthony had already taken off his Equipment, picked up a wooden sword, and a wooden shield, and walked up to
Dean.
¡°I¡¯m asking again, are you certain you want to open that Demon Box?¡±
At this point, Dean got a rough idea of what Anthony was about to do, vigorously nodding his head: ¡°Hm!¡±
¡°Then, let me test your abilities!
Unleash all your strengths onto me!
Thisb can record your skill levels. Only if they meet my approval can you proceed!¡±
¡°Bang!¡±
Before Anthony finished speaking, a Bone Fang fired directly in his direction.
Dean, who had faced a third-turn power, dishonorably attacked Anthony by surprise.
Anthony responded rapidly, his wooden sword glowed with radiant light as he struck on the Bone Fang.
As soon as the wooden sword hit the Bone Fang, it shattered, turning into dozens of tiny bone fragments striking towards Anthony.
This use of Bone Fang was basically a tricky y.
Anthony was caught off guard. Luckily, he was powerful enough that a radiant light shone from him, blocking the Bone Fang.
Meanwhile, as the Bone Fang was blocked, a Bone Prison rose from beneath Anthony, trapping him.
Simultaneously, the Gate of Bone opened, and arge number of Skeletons poured out, surging towards Anthony.
Anthony gave a slight shake, and the Bone Prison instantly dissipated.
At the same time, the Skeletons had filled the entire room. As Anthony was about to make his next move, Dean said, ¡°Anthony, these skeletons are my babies. Feel free to fight but don¡¯t break them, otherwise I¡¯ll make you pay!¡±
Anthony¡¯s face instantly darkened. Was this a joke?
But after seeing the nearly 10 elite Skeletons, even if he didn¡¯t understand how Dean managed to summon them, he did realize that these are Dean¡¯s hard
work.
So, he had to control his power, which made Anthony quite tied up.
While Anthony had his hands tied, Dean let loose. He continually used Bone Fang and Bone Prison as if he didn¡¯t have to pay for them, annoying Anthony greatly.
But Dean¡¯s fun didn¡¯tst long.
Without using his skills or exerting his Spirit Power, Anthony used a simple body check to open a path within the Skeletons, and walked over to Dean.
Happily looking at Dean, he gave an appreciable smile.
¡°Well done!¡±
Dean thought it was all over, so he didn¡¯t think of retreating, and then Anthony caught and beat him.
Anthony was quite brutal.
Probably relieving all his embarrassment and frustration from Dean¡¯s irritating tactics, which led to Dean stumbling out the door, leaning against the wall for support.
This battle made Dean personally feel the horror of a third-turn power.
Without Equipment and skills, Anthony¡¯s raw power alone had him questioning his life choices.
This greatly humbled Dean, who had just in a third-turn power, his high spirits plummeting quickly.
Just when they stepped out of thatb, they stepped into anotherb.
¡°Here are the results we gathered from the data!
As soon as Anthony entered theb, someone handed him a report.
Bone Fang: Mutated Skill, Attack exceeds 80 meters, has Pration effect, damage over 1500.
Bone Shield: Mutated Skill, Defense over 1500.
Bone Prison: Enhanced once, around level 3, energy span between 1500 and
1800.
9 One-turn Elite Skeletons, 1 Leader, 1 Skeleton Mage, 1 Shield Skeleton, 3 Skeleton Archers, 3 Skeleton Warriors.
Skill usage APTITUDE: S-level,
Skeletal control proficiency: S-level
Overall skill evaluation: S-.
¡°S- grade?¡± Dean asked, looking curious.
Theb technician nced at Dean, then told Anthony, ¡°Based on the current data, hisbat system is biased towards physical offense, with somepses in defense. He has a considerable advantage against physical enemies, but could be easily countered facing elemental or abnormal opponents.
Even so, he¡¯s already quite powerful, possessing upper-middle ss fighting strength of a second-turn!
At any cost, there is a chance he could fight against a top-tier second-turn.
This power is impressive, the sess rate of unlocking the Demon Box should be around seventy-three percent!¡±
¡°Seventy-three percent?¡±
Hearing this data, Dean and Anthony had distinctly different reactions.
Dean: ¡°Once you round it off, isn¡¯t this practically a sure thing? Anthony: ¡°I¡¯m a bit surprised, isn¡¯t that a probabilistic death sentence?
Lab technician:¡.
He was puzzled as to how the same data could generate two entirely separate conclusions.
While he was confused, Dean and Anthony had already looked at each other.
¡°Shall we go outside to chat?¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
They both walked out of theb. Anthony found a room, just as they walked in, and was about to speak.
He then heard Dean ask, ¡°Anthony, can I carry equipment into the dungeon?¡± ¡°Depends. If it¡¯s something you obtained yourself or something from a dungeon clear, it will be identified as part of your power and you can take it, otherwise you can¡¯t!¡±
Then Anthony suddenly felt something wrong and looking upward instinctively.
When he looked up, he saw the Eighth rise from Dean¡¯s shadow.
At the same time, Dean took out two objects from his hand.
He held the Pighead Summoning Order in his left hand and the Substitute Doll in his right..
Chapter 93 - 93: 093 Demon Box Opens the Trial
Chapter 93: 093 Demon Box Opens the Trial
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, inside a mysteriousb.
Upon Dean McKenzie¡¯s insistence, he eventually got the task of unsealing the Demon Box.
Ennis Hawkins brought Dean to the room where the Demon Box was stored.
When Dean was brought to the room with the Demon Box, seeing it again made him tremble a bit.
He felt some excitement, but more predominately, he felt nervousness.
Honestly speaking, despite his facade of absolute confidence in front of Anthony, he was actually scared.
Dean still remembered the sensation of almost losing his mind the first time he got hold of the Demon Box.
Nobody was more aware of the nefariousness this thing possessed than Dean. But he couldn¡¯t let it show.
From the beginning of his journey, Anthony had been helping him almost since day one.
On Dean¡¯s first day, Anthony saved him, brought him back to Spring City, ced him in a shelter, and helped him navigate through the toughest beginning stages of his journey.
It was Anthony, at a pivotal moment, who gave Dean a helping hand and enabled him to be a professional.
He doesn¡¯t even need to mention what followed after he became a professional.
Anthony had been supporting him all the way.
Henceforth, even though Dean didn¡¯t show much respect for Anthony outwardly, he was genuinely grateful inwardly.
Now that Anthony was facing difficulties, there was no way Dean would stand by and watch.
Even though the task was dangerous.
Even though Anthony never nned on asking for his help.
Dean still couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch.
Ah, would it be appropriate to stand idly when he had received such benefits and favors yet the person is in trouble now?
Isn¡¯t that absurd?
Isn¡¯t it?
If he really left and something happened to Anthony, he would never achieve peace of mind for the rest of his life.
In one¡¯s lifetime, isn¡¯t the ultimate pursuit to find peace of mind?
So, even though Dean was afraid of death, if he deemed it necessary, no matter how dangerous, he would step forward.
He will go ahead, smiling and eagerly.
¡°Anthony, don¡¯t look like you¡¯re sending me to my death. Let me tell you, since I started out, I¡¯ve never failed at wiping out any instances. I wouldn¡¯t miss out on such a great opportunity. Maybe I might even get you an S-level result. Just watch!¡±
Inside theb, Dean walked to the edge of the Demon Box, turned his head towards Anthony with a smirk.
Anthony said solemnly, ¡°Cut the yful act. Although we have prepared that Substitute Doll for you, you will be teleported out of the instance as soon as you face danger.
Your safety has been greatly improved.
But there remains an uncertain danger, so be careful once you enter it, okay?¡±
¡°I know, I know! You¡¯ve told me eight hundred times already. It¡¯s like listening to an olddy nagging!¡±
Dean waved his hand dismissively, approached the Demon Box with an apathetic expression. He stretched out his hand, preparing to touch the Demon Box, hesitated for a second, then turned around and tosses two items to Anthony, ¡°These two are for you!¡±
Ennis looked surprised, instinctively caught the two items thrown by Dean and realized they were two third-turn silver-level equipment pieces.
¡°What¡¯s this for?¡±
Dean replied with a smile, ¡°You hold onto these two items for me. If Ie back alive, you give them back. If something were to happen to me, they are yours!¡±
Ennis then understood what was Dean¡¯s intention.
Dean was worried that if something happened to him, this stuff would go to waste.
But also, he was worried that if he survived, it would turn out he just gave away his stuff for nothing.
He was certainly somewhat generous, but only mildly so.
Although Anthony tried to suppress it, he was both amused and touched.
Dean, without caring for Anthony¡¯s reaction, put his hand on the Demon Box.
As Dean¡¯s ced his hand on it, the system notification refreshed instantly.
¡°The person is correct, the power levels are correct. Do you wish to initiate the Trial of Unsealing the Demon Box?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°Unsealing the Demon Box Trial initiated!¡±
As the system notification refreshed, gray light shone around Dean¡¯s body and he disappeared into the Demon Box in a blink.
Watching as Dean initiated the trial, Anthony solemnly stored away the items Dean had handed over.
¡°Max out theb¡¯s equipment power, keep a close eye on the Demon Box and Substitute Doll. Report any abnormalities immediately.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
At Anthony¡¯smand, the entireb started its operation.
Simultaneously, Anthony also walked to the Demon Box, clenching a tattered silver-quality holy sword in his hand, staring intently at the Demon Box, prepared to cast all his power at any sign of abnormality.
No matter what it may cost, he was determined to save Dean.
Meanwhile, in Spring City, the mysterious person who created the Skeleton Cave lifted his head once more.
¡°The game begins? I didn¡¯t expect that such a casual move would lead to such a good oue. Well done, well done. Now I can give you an even bigger surprise!¡±
The mysterious person said, a delighted smile spread across his face as he once again pulled out a ck crystal ball from his pocket, lightly crushing it in his hand. The pieces scattered across the floor.
Almost at the exact moment the crystal ball broke apart, an ornamental chain in Breanna Holt¡¯s possession at the Mirror Stand in Spring City also cracked open.
¡°The final battle has begun?¡±
Looking at the broken pieces of the chain on the floor, a smile appeared on Breanna Holt¡¯s face.
¡°Ennis Hawkins, it¡¯s not my fault.
If you must me someone, me yourself for not being ambitious and for making such enemies. I¡¯m not like you. I don¡¯t want to spend my whole life in a small ce like this. Staying here would cause me to decay, even agonizingly. Therefore, even if there¡¯s no chance for me to leave, I¡¯ll manufacture one myself. Let¡¯s use you as a stepping stone on my journey back to Thorn Oak City!¡±
While speaking, Breanna Holt stood up, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Over at Dean¡¯s end, as the familiar sensation of weightlessness ended, he found himself in an unexpected ce.
White bones scattered all around, huge pits, along with an imposing Bone Throne.
Isn¡¯t this the damn Land of Bone?
At first, Dean couldn¡¯t believe it. But when Doggy Two appeared before him, eyes flickering with a clear and simple Pupil Fire, he came face to face with the undeniable reality: This was indeed the Land of Bone.
¡°Wait, wasn¡¯t I supposed to unlock the Demon Box trial? How did I end up in the Land of Bone?¡±
As Dean was perplexed, the system notification refreshed.
¡°You have initiated the Trial of Unlocking the Demon Box!
This trial is a tower defense type survival trial, do your utmost to stay alive till the end!¡±
¡°The first wave of trials begins!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Almost at the exact moment that the system notifications refreshed, a roar spread through the Land of Bone.
Dean looked up and saw countless skeletonsunching out of a fissure at the furthest ends of the Land of Bone, charging towards him.
The battle has begun!
Chapter 94 - 94: 094 King of Bones
Chapter 94: 094 King of Bones
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie scanned the area, and the attributes of the countless skeletons in front of him immediately appeared to his eyes.
Name: Pale Skeleton
Temte: Ordinary
Attributes:
Strength: 4.6, Agility: 2.7, Physique: 4.6
Attack: 4-6
Defense: 23
Skills: None
Description: This is a qualified cannon fodder
They were all ordinary skeleton temtes at level 20.
The attributes were downright terrible!
Dean McKenzie even doubted.
A level 5 Pighead n warrior under the same ordinary temte would
outmatch them.
As expected, even among temtes of the same level, there were differences in performance.
However, although these attributes were pitiful, they could be terrifying when
they reached a certain scale.
These skeletons kept falling from the rift on the opposite side as if they were in surplus.
In a short while, a vast area was densely covered with skeletons.
And the numbers were still increasing. Dean McKenzie had no doubt that these skeletonsing out might eventually cover the entire Land of Bone.
If they kepting, even Dean McKenzie, no matter how strong, would be worn out and killed by these skeletons.
Looking at the rushing skeletons, Dean McKenzie was thinking not about how to fight them, but of Doggy Two¡¯s abilities.
He even opened Doggy Two¡¯s attribute panel, and called up one of Doggy Two¡¯s skill attributes.
Skill: King of Bones (Level 1) (Special skill, activated inbination with the Bone Throne. When this skill is activated, it affects bone-rted undead. As long as the level does not exceed level 21, and the quality of the temte doesn¡¯t exceed Elite, they are all subservient at his feet, deciding life and death!)
(Without the Bone Throne, the enemy can be cast into one second of chaos.
Ps: The effect is doubled for Bone-rted!)
¡°After Doggy Two¡¯s level increased, this skill has changed a bit, effective as long as the level does not exceed 21.
So, can this skill be used on that bunch of skeletons across the way?¡±
Dean McKenzie thought it would be worth a try.
So, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t fight the skeletons. He let them loom closer. Twenty or so minutester, the horde of skeletons reached Dean McKenzie.
¡°Doggy Two!¡±
Ordered by Dean McKenzie, Doggy Two, who was already seated on the Bone Throne, bravely activated the King of Bones skill.
An invisible force started radiating outwards.
A system prompt appeared before Dean McKenzie.
[Your Wraith Servant [Doggy Two] consumed 80 spirit power and sessfully activated [King of Bones] with the assistance of the Bone Throne!] [Your Wraith Servant [Doggy Two] has sessfully tamed 566 Skeletons!] Almost at the same time these two system prompts appeared, all the skeletons within an eighty-metre radius of the Bone Throne stopped moving, switched sides, and became Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeletons.
¡°It really works!¡±
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie was initially ted, but then his brows furrowed. Becuase he realised that, although he had tamed 566 of them.
It seemed useless.
These 566 skeletons did not make up even one percent of the dense horde of skeletons advancing on him, and couldn¡¯t influence the overall situation.
They stopped, but the skeletons behind them kept moving.
And once Doggy Two activated this, all his spirit power was consumed, and he couldn¡¯t do it again.
¡°Looks like I have to do it myself!¡±
Dean McKenzie muttered, ready to step in, but he stopped halfway.
¡°No, this is just the first wave. It¡¯s not that challenging for me, especially since it¡¯s in my professional field. If I deal with this wave personally¡
I might defeat them quickly, but it would be of no benefit to me. Instead, it would only hasten the arrival of the second wave.
Furthermore, there isn¡¯t any water left in the Land of Bone now, so I can¡¯t use my Meditation skill automatically.
If I deplete my Mana and there are still skeletons left, I¡¯ll be the one crying. It¡¯s best to make good use of this wave and boost my strength as much as possible!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, his gaze fell on his attribute panel, specifically his skill
bar.
Bone Fang (2 Enhances) (level 4) (+1)
Bone Shield (2 Enhances) (level 4) (+1)
Summon Skeleton (1 Enhances) (level 3) (+1)
Bone Prison (level 2) (+1)
Meditation (1 Enhances) (level 4)
Appraisal Skill (level 2)
Slow Curse (level 2)
Wild Intuition (level 1)
This is all the skills Dean McKenzie has at present.
Under the current circumstances where there is no grant quota, the only skills he can enhance are Summon Skeleton and Meditation.
Both of these skills have reached the standard of 2 Enhances.
Besides, there¡¯s Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes.
Strength: 5.4, Agility: 154-9, Physique: 43-6, Spirit: 185.2 (18)
These are Dean McKenzie¡¯s current attributes.
The Spirit attribute hasn¡¯t been added yet after raising the temte to an Excellent Temte.
ording to the experience Dean McKenzie had learned from assigning points for Doggy Two.
With a level 2 talent, an Ordinary Temte at level 10 can assign 10 points, an Elite Temte at level 10 can assign 20 points, and an Excellent Temte at level 10 can assign 30 points.
Although there is no attribute enhancement when the temte is promoted, the Excellent Temte can enhance 40 to 50 attribute points and a D-level trait.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie, who is currently at level 28, could enhance 130 to 140 attribute points all at once by upgrading a attribute temte from Ordinary to Excellent.
Dean McKenzie has only added no points to his Spirit attribute, leaving 30 points unadded.
However, the group of skeletons in front can¡¯t extract Spirit attributes, so Dean McKenzie had to put the assignment of Spirit attributes aside for now.
But he still needs to figure out which skill to enhance.
¡°To hell with enhancing skills!¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but spit.
¡°All these skeletons here are Ordinary Temte skeletons, there¡¯s not even a single Elite skeleton, what¡¯s the point of enhancing skills?
However, it¡¯s feasible to enhance skeletons.
If I can¡¯t enhance my own attributes, can¡¯t enhance skills, getting some skeletons to level up is also a good idea!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, taking a nce at his Summon Skeleton skill.
After seeing that there were still 62 Elite Temtes left, Dean McKenzie got started immediately.
[You have used 20 Fragile Skeleton Warrior Temtes and 42 Fragile Skeleton Archer Temtes!]
Dean McKenzie threw out 62 temtes all at once, converting the 62 skeletons captured by Doggy Two into Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers.
Then, Dean McKenzie used all of the Elite Temtes for the Summon Skeleton skill.
[You have used 62 Elite Temtes, consuming 31 coins!]
[You have sessfully advanced 62 skeletons to Elite Skeletons!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) has 50 Elite Skeletons under hismand, his trait Low-Level Bone Lord activates.
Acquired Trait ¨C King of Bones (E-grade)l
[King of Bones (E-grade) passively enhances the experience gained by skeletons under itsmand by 10%, and when activated, it increases their attributes by 10% for a duration of 10 minutes!]
Amidst a flurry of Golden Finger prompts, the 62 skeletons changed their
appearances..

Generally speaking, it would be fitting to have a few wizards for this kind of tower defense game.
However, although Dean McKenzie has a wizard temte at his disposal, he can¡¯t extract any spirit, rendering the wizard temte useless.
Moreover, a level 20 wizard doesn¡¯t have any area-of-effect attacks, which means it might not be as useful as an archer.
This is the reason why Dean McKenzie invested two-thirds of his forces into Skeleton Archers.
As Dean McKenzie spent 31 gold coins, thebat capabilities of the 62 skeletons skyrocketed, resulting in significant changes in their attributes.
Name: Bone Hardening Skeleton Warrior
Temte: Elite
Attributes:
Strength: 6.6, Agility: 4 7, Physique: 10.6
Attack: 8.6 (5)
Defense: 5.2 (10.6)
Skill: Bone Hardening (Level 1) Passive increase in defense, 1 Physique point increases 1 Defense point
Equipment: Skeleton Longsword (Level 20) (Common) (Attack Increase by 5)
Name: urate Skeleton Archer
Temte: Mastery
Attributes:

Attack: 6.05(5)
Defense: 2.7
Skill: Concentrated Shooting(Level i)(Passively increases shooting uracy by
10 percent, increases range by ten meters)
Equipment: Bone Bow (Level 20) (Common) (Arrows: 50/50)
Generates 1 arrow per minute
This is the result of Dean McKenzie spending 31 gold coins.
The power of the 62 skeletons can be described as reincarnated.
With the evolution of these 62 skeletonsplete, the battle on Dean McKenzie¡¯s side officially began.
However, since no elite level opponents had appeared on the enemy side, Dean McKenzie did not participate, instead hemanded the skeletons in battle.
Honestly speaking, this is the first time Dean McKenzie hasmanded a battle of this scale.
During the previous skirmishes with the goblin tribes, Dean McKenzie mainly allowed the skeletons to act independently, utilizing their initiative to attack the enemy in unexpected ways.
Inyman¡¯s terms, they had been fighting haphazardly.
This is Dean McKenzie¡¯s first timemanding a battle in such an organized manner.
Yet, not even ten minutes in, Dean McKenzie was almost exhausted. ¡°It¡¯s no good, I¡¯m not cut out formandingrge-scale battles!¡± It took only ten minutes for Dean McKenzie to understand his limits. His advantagey in multitasking and close, flexiblemand over the skeletons. Yet this advantage turned into a disadvantage in arge-scale war. He focused too much on tactical strategies, and wished he could personallymand each skeleton, which consumed a lot of his energy.
It wasn¡¯t even ten minutes before he was feeling lightheaded and dizzy.
It was only after giving upmand that he noticed his skeletal troops were actually doing pretty well in the battle.
On one hand, he had 9 Elite One-turn Skeletons, 1 Excellent One-turn Skeleton, and 62 Elite Skeletons.
While they were outnumbered by the enemy, their quality was far superior. Moreover, they held the upper hand in the terrain, so even though they were fewer in number, they could still suppress enemy skeletons¡¯ attack.
Additionally, Dean found that Doggy Two seemed capable ofmanding the battle.
And seemed tomand it quite well.
Doggy Two expertlymanded where to focus their attacks and where to defend, as if he was born with this innate knowledge.
After watching for a while, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but exim that some skeletons seem to be born for this job.
¡°Speaking of which, Doggy Two and Number Eight are bing more and more intelligent.
Their IQs are almost on par with a pig¡¯s now.¡±
At first nce, Dean¡¯s words might not seem like apliment, but indeed, they were.
While Doggy Two was directing the battle, Number Eight wasn¡¯t idle either. He activated [Strong Stealth], transformed into a shadow, and wandered around the battlefield like a cheerful little bee, picking up the dots of light from the ground and presenting them like treasures to Dean McKenzie.
Seeing Dean receiving items and smiling like a happy idiot, the mes in the eyes of Number Eight danced joyously, much like the wagging tail of a dog upon seeing its master.
Seeing this, Dean couldn¡¯t help but smile knowingly.
¡°This is also pretty good!¡±
The battlested for five or six hours without Dean McKenzie intervening. Thank goodness both sides of thebatants were skeletons. If humans had to fight as intensely as Dean¡¯s skeletons for five or six hours, they would have copsed from exhaustion long ago.
In those five or six hours, Dean¡¯s skeletons wiped out countless enemies. What they did know was that almost all of Dean¡¯s regr skeletons had been killed.
Only a little over a hundred were left.
But all of the elite temte skeletons remained alive under Dean¡¯s watch. Moreover, those 62 skeletons that were originally at level 20 all leveled up to one-turn.
Their transition was quite convenient since they didn¡¯t need to undergo any promotion trials. However, the attribute points gained from the transition were a bit fewer, only an increase by thirty percent.
But this was still a massive upgrade.
Dean nowmanded 72 one-turn skeletons.
At the same tier, Dean just needed to send them out, and they could obliterate arge area.
More importantly, this force could help Dean withstand half an hour in this dungeon, providing time for his mana recovery.
Yes, the greatest purpose of training them was to help Dean hold on through his mana recovery time.
So, the moment theypleted their transition and formed their battle strength, Dean stopped watching the show and stepped in to take action. He swung the [Bone Scepter], throwing out Bone Fangs as if they were free, Under the enhancement of the Bone Scepter, Dean¡¯s [Bone Fang] skill upgraded to level 5-
However, to be honest, when confronting these skeletons not even at one-turn, there wasn¡¯t much difference between the damage done by Bone Fang at level 3 and at level 5.
Whenever Dean attacked, the Bone Fang split, and Dean could slightly control the strike range of the split Bone Fang to clear skeletons within a hundred meters.
Dean¡¯s ten minutes of ughter alone was equivalent to the results of Doggy Two and others after several hours ofbat.
With Dean¡¯s attack, skeletons on the opposite side fell down inrge quantities. Although each burst of level 5 Bone Fang consumed 300 mana, it wasn¡¯t a big problem.
Dean McKenzie, with over 3000 mana, could output over ten rounds.
Even after that, it wasn¡¯t a problem. He could sit cross-legged to recover, and in twenty to thirty minutes, Dean would be back in fighting form.
Like this, Dean wiped out for several hours.
The number of skeletons he had destroyed was even past his own counting. All he knew was that his level had increased from level 27 to level 29. Moreover, under such a killing state, Dean¡¯s skill proficiency had greatly increased.
Aside from Bone Fang and Meditation, it was unexpected even to Dean that the proficiency of [Summon Skeleton] had also considerably increased. After only a few hours of Dean¡¯s ughter, the originally densely packed skeletons on the Land of Bone started to thin out.
When all the sparse skeletons were eliminated by Dean.
The system alert suddenly updated. ¡°[First Wave of Trial Finished, Second Wave of Trial Begins!] Immediately after, new skeletons seamlessly streamed out from the crack. When Dean saw the new wave of skeletons approaching, his mouth hung open.
¡°A surprise, isn¡¯t it right here?¡±
Chapter 96 - 96: 096 Enhance Skill
Chapter 96: 096 Enhance Skill
Trantor: 549690339
Name: Elite Skeleton Warrior
Temte: Elite
Attributes:
Strength: 10.6, agility: 4-7- Physique: 6.6
Attack: 10.6 (5)
Defense: 33
Skill: Bone Strike (level 3)
Equipment: Skeleton Longsword (20) (normal) (increase attack by 5)
These are the attributes of the skeletons in the second wave.
A dense crowd, all 20 Level, all are elite temte Skeleton Warriors.
On average they have a dozen more attribute points than the previous 20-Level monsters, their strength is far superior.
Looking at these iing skeletons, Dean McKenzie only harbors one thought in his mind.
I¡¯m taking off!
-Now I know where to enhance my ¡®Meditation¡¯ and ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯. When I
reach level 30,1 can enhance another skill.¡±
Dean is just ecstatic.
Holding the Bone Scepter, waiting for that horde of skeletons to rush in front of him, only then does Dean release Bone Fang.
In front of Dean¡¯s Bone Fang, whether they are 20-Level ordinary monsters or
20-Level elite monsters, or even 40-Level Elite monsters, the difference isn¡¯t really significant.
A single shot, cleared out a swathe of them.
About five shots, and all the Skeletons within a hundreds of meters can be finished off.
But after killing them, Dean starts to get a headache.
There are simply too many of these elite monsters. Just finished mopping up a group, and the next one surges up.
[You consumed 1500 Mana, extracted 50 ¡°Elite Skeleton Warriors¡±, gained 50
Elite Temte Fragments, and gained 265 Attribute points!]
Dean only had time to extract a few dozen before the skeletons in the back reced their fallenrades.
Dean¡¯s Mana is depleted on his side again.
Having no choice, he has to sit cross-legged to restore Mana, spending half an hour barely replenishing it to full. Heunches five Bone Fangs, throwing away several dozen pieces of extraction mana which is now empty again.
Dean needs to sit down and restore Mana again.
This operation, Dean had gone on for several hours and didn¡¯t feel anything.
But now facing this group of elite monsters, Dean feels like he can¡¯t take it anymore.
¡ö¡¯No good, no good, this is too much of a grind and a waste. The least I can wipe out in one wave is a few hundreds, those I can potentially extract are just dozens, the waste is making my heart bleed.
The best course is definitely to kill one and extract one.
But that isn¡¯t realistic!¡±
With so many of them rushing over from the opposite side, how can Dean kill one and extract one?
Even if he uses Skeleton to kill them while extracting in the back, it¡¯s not a reliable n.
At certain points his extraction mana will be used up too.
¡°The ideal solution is to level up Meditation!
Next time my mana recovers, I¡¯ll enhance Meditation!
As Dean says, he enters the Meditation State once more.
After twenty odd minutes, Dean replenishes his mana to full.
[Your Meditation has leveled up to 4!]
[Basic effect from recovery of 138 mana per minute, has been increased to
207!]
This increase is not small, but it doesn¡¯t evene close to satisfying Dean¡¯s appetite given the current situation.
Thus, after Dean restored his mana,
he broke out immediately, with three Bone Fangs, clearing the skeletons within dozens of meters in front of him.
He initiates skill enhancement.
While the 60 minutes haven¡¯t psed yet, he adds all the 534 attribute points he¡¯s extracted before into his Meditation.
Then, he goes all out within those ten minutes, popping potions like crazy, using the Holy Light Ring, madly extracting.
[You extracted 113 ¡°Elite Skeletons¡± gaining 675 attribute points, and 113 Elite
Temte Fragments!]
[You spent 2418 Silver Coins, granting 1209 attribute points to ¡°Meditation ] [You consumed 1130 Silver Coins, using 113 fragments as nutrient for the trait ¡°Mana Recovery Water¡±]
For one-time skill strengthening, for each attribute point the proficiency raised is one silver coin, and for absorbing one fragment is five silver coins.
The two-time strengthening is a double of this basis.
Dean spent a total of 3518 silver coins, which is 35-18 gold.
[Your skill ¡°Meditation¡± has been two-times strengthened!]
With the refresh of the Golden Finger prompting, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Meditation skill enhancement waspleted.
Skill: Meditation (Two Forces)
Level: Level 4 (0/15000)
Basic effect: Meditation Recovery (Restores 1416 Mana Value per minute)
Trait: Mana Recovery-Water (Level 4)
Effect 1: When within 100 meters of water source, the trait is activated and Meditation operates automatically, restoring mana at 80% of the ¡°Meditation
Recovery¡± efficiency
Effect 2: Under the state of trait activation, it can sense the condition within the range of Spiritual Power multiplied by 0.5 meters, while increasing the effect of the sensing skills!
Since there was no integration of new essence, the enhancement of the trait wasn¡¯t a lot.
But the basic improvement of Meditation was terrifying.
Now he could recover 1416 mana values per minute.
With over three thousand Mana value, Dean McKenzie can settle the problem in less than three minutes just by sitting on the ground.
This was quite horrifying.
It also greatly improved Dean McKenzie¡¯s efficiency at extracting monsters.
Before, Dean McKenzie had to go for twenty to thirty minutes a round, but now it only takes two to three minutes.
Essentially, any monster that was defeated by him could be extracted.
Originally, Dean McKenzie could only extract forty to fifty in twenty to thirty minutes, but now¡
If he goes all out, he could extract two to three hundred.
After all, he had to chase the monsters to extract them, two to three hundred was basically the limit.
But this was also quite horrifying.
Five to six in one hour.
Dean McKenzie could farm one to two hundred elite temtes, and two to three thousand attribute points.
In addition, this instance was not as stingy as the previous promotion trial.
The reward it promised was not a bit less.
Although the quality of the drop was a bit poor, basically all of them were normal equipment, potions and money, they were still pretty good.
The things that came out could basically keep Dean McKenzie bnced in ie and expenditure, and even arm his Skeleton Legion.
Where was this the dangerous ce that Anthony spoke of, where one could die nine times out of ten, or even without a single survivor.
in Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, it was almost a holy ce in a dream, okay?
Dean McKenzie really didn¡¯t want to leave.
¡°Damn it, if I knew it was such a good ce, I wouldn¡¯t have spent so long mentally preparing.
Don¡¯t stop me, I want to farm for a hundred or eighty years, and be invincible when I leave!¡±
Whether Dean McKenzie could be invincible if he farmed in this instance for a hundred or eighty years is debatable, but for Dean McKenzie, this instance was indeed and of blessing.
With the second wave, Dean McKenzie not onlypleted the enhancement of [Meditation],
Before long, Dean McKenzie also had [Summon Skeleton] upgraded to Two Forces.
[You have consumed 6300 Silver Coins and granted 3150 attribute points to the [Summon Skeleton] skill¡¯.]
[You have assigned 130 Elite Temtes to the [Summon Skeleton] skill!] [You have consumed 6300 Silver Coins and assigned 630 essences to the [Summon Skeleton] skill¡¯.]
[Your skill [Summon Skeleton] 2 Forces Completion!]
Skill: Summon Skeleton+1 (Second Enhancement)
Level: Level 3 (8766/IOOOO)
Chant: Undying Skeleton Servant, explore the truth of death
Basic Abilities:
Summon: Instantly summon 4 level 41 undead (Skeletons)
Temte Promotion: Can consume temtes to upgrade the temte of the Skeletons in the Bone Series,
Current Temte: 130 (Elite)
Simultaneous Existence: 10/20
Mana Consumption: 30
Trait: Bone Sublimation (Level 2) (Can activate Bone Sublimation, enhancing your summoned Skeletons once.
Current level can be activated: 2/2)
Bone Rebirth (Level 2) (This trait merges with the Land of Bone, and the buried bones have a chance to transform into Bone Wraith!)
With thepletion of [Summon Skeleton] 2, the levels of the ten loyal Wraith Servants under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand began to soar rapidly..
Chapter 97 - 97: Bone Eruption 097
Chapter 97: Bone Eruption 097
Trantor: 549690339
Land of Bone.
As Doggy Two and the others glowed brightly, system notifications came up.
[Your Wraith Servants have leveled up to level 41!] Honestly, when Dean McKenzie saw this notification, he was surprised.
Even though he knew from the beginning from the description of [Summon Skeleton] that he could summon skeletons of level 41.
But Dean really didn¡¯t expect Doggy Two and the others to reach level 41. Because generally, the level of the wraith servants cannot exceed that of the summoner by arge margin.
So, Dean thought they would only reach level 40 at most. He didn¡¯t expect them to hit level 41 directly.
Dean was quite pleasantly surprised.
What even more surprising for Dean were the other delights.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) has leveled up to level 41, awakening Second-turn skill [Bone Eruption]!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) has leveled up to level 41, awakening Second-turn skill [Poison Strengthening]!]
Doggy Two and Doggy Eight had both awakened second-turn skills.
Dean quickly checked their attributes.
Name: Bone Lord (Doggy Two)
Level: 41
Temte: Elite
Lord Trait: King of Bone (E-level)
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 169.1, Agility: 52.6, Physique: 30.6, Spirit: 30.6
Attack: 170.1
Defense: 15.3
Spirit Power: 1020
Skills: King of Bone (Level 1)
Charge (Level 4), Defensive Stance (Level 2), Heavy Strike (Level 2) Second-turn skill: Bone Eruption (Level 1) (Once activated, all attributes increase by 100 percent, consumes 200 Spirit Power per minute)
Name: Inconspicuous Skeleton Assassin (Doggy Eight)
Level: 41
Temte: Excellent
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Trait: Weak Presence (D) (passively reduces own presence by 50 percent, detection probability decreases by 50 percent)
Attributes:
Strength: 33-7, Agility: 280.7, Physique: 31-5, Spirit: 15
Attack: 224.5
Defense: 15-5
Spirit Power: 1200
Skills: Backstab (Level 4), Dagger Poisoning (Level 1)
Strong Stealth (Level 1) (1 enhancement)
Second-turn skill: Poison Strengthening (Level 1) (Consumes too Spirit Power, increases poison effect by 50 percent)
The strength of Doggy Two and Doggy Eight, who have soared to level 41, has greatly improved.
Besides the obviously overpowered Doggy Eight, Dean had 20 creatures like Doggy Two.
For a Necromancer like Dean, who are in their ¡®one-turn¡¯, throwing out 20 level
41 ¡®second-turn1 skeletons all at once.
Just this one effect is already invincible.
It¡¯s enough to bring summoners to tears.
But what¡¯s even more invincible are the two traits of [Summon Skeleton], [Bone Sublimation] needs no exnation, it can enhance a skill of a Wraith Servant, if chosen wisely, it can have an effect like Doggy Eight, which can bring things to a sessful issue or even totally transform.
With Doggy Eight¡¯s current strength, basically, any existence under level 60, rarely can resist when Doggy Eight up and attack.
And Doggy Eight¡¯s full potential has not yet been developed. Once it is, or if there is a suitable bet, even a ¡®third-turn¡¯ would find it hard to resist his attack. But Dean currently has no insights into which one to enhance, so he nced at [Bone Sublimation] and then looked at [Bone Rebirth].
Dean didn¡¯t expect that this trait could be linked to the Land of Bone.
¡°What principle is this?
What kind of trait is this?
How does ite back to life? And what about the strength after regeneration?
Will it still be my servant after regeneration?¡±
Dean was curious, but unfortunately this trait is a passive one.
Even if Dean wants to test it, he can¡¯t.
¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t study this for now, I¡¯m busy now!
Exactly, even though Dean¡¯s [Meditation] and [Summon Skeleton] have been enhanced, and Doggy Two and the others have leveled up, their attribute points have not been assigned yet.
Doggy Two and the others could still get an increase of 20 to 40 points in attributes.
Also, Dean is nning to summon the other ten during this time, they can each enhance a 100-point attribute.
Additionally, Dean¡¯s level is almost 30.
As soon as he hits level 30, Dean can have an extra Grant Quota.
By then, he could enhance another attribute or skill.
¡°The road to enhancement is long and arduous, I just hope there are enough monsters in this instance for me to kill, after all, the number seems to be dropping!¡±
Looking at the seemingly thinning crowd of monsters, Dean was a bit worried. What Dean didn¡¯t know was that he didn¡¯t need to worry about this.
Someone was watching out for him.
A few hours ago, in Spring City, a mysterious figure dressed in ck robes stood atop a building, overlooking the entire Spring City.
Strangely, what should have been a conspicuous move seemedpletely unnoticed.
Even the lofty winds skimmed past him, failing to stir his clothes. ¡°Breanna Holt is secretly helping on the Bloody Church side, they¡¯ve obtained ? what they want, and without ident, they should be cracking open that rift¡¡¯ Before he could finish his sentence, the mysterious figure suddenly directed his gaze towards the deep mountains outside Spring City.
-They have already found the rift and are opening it up, very good, in at most a day¡¯s time, the people from the Bloody Church will lure the monsters to attack the city!
This surprise is set up for him!
But this is not the most exciting part!
A monster siege alone cannot create any surprises, it still needs this!¡± As the mysterious figure spoke, his hand stretched and another ck Crystal Ball appeared.
¡°The kid has been in the Secret Realm for several hours, let me see how he¡¯s doing now.
Hey, he¡¯s still on the first wave?
This kid¡¯s performance is a bit weak!
Anthony let him into the instance, I thought he would have some sort of performance, but this?
But it¡¯s not bad either, this way, I can control the time on his side, huh!¡± The ck Crystal Ball in the mysterious figure¡¯s hand heated up.
¡°Just as I finished speaking, this kid is in a hurry!
Seems like he¡¯s having a full-outburst.
He has got some stuff, he cleared about one to two percent of the first wave in just one minute.
But it¡¯s of no use, he can¡¯t hold on for long!
See, he couldn¡¯tst for more than, maybe, ten minutes!
Young people these days, they seem fierce, but they¡¯re not good, no skill, no stamina!
With this little thing, this little guy can¡¯t make any waves.¡±
The mysterious man said as such.
However, despite what he said, the mysterious figure was still keeping a close watch on Dean¡¯s situation.
Half an hourter, he saw Dean¡¯s another outbreak.
¡°The young are just young, although they don¡¯tst long, they recover quickly. He¡¯s done another wave so soon after, but recovering once in half an hour is still not quick enough to have an impact on the situation.
Unless you¡¯re capable of recovering once every three minutes!¡± Thirty minutester, the mysterious man was stunned!
¡°Damn, did this kid literally recover every three minutes for me?¡±
Chapter 98 - 98: 098 Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior
Chapter 98: 098 Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior
Trantor: 549690339 j
Over at the mysterious person¡¯s side in Spring City.
He held a ck crystal in his hand, and watched as the energy inside it was consumed rapidly.
The mysterious man could hardly believe it.
¡°No way, how can this kid be so fierce?
Did he consume something? Yes, this kid must have taken something Otherwise, there is no way a One-turn like him could be this fierce!
Anthony has a lot up his sleeve huh, to think of letting him bring such potent stuff inside.
But I don¡¯t believe it. How freely can you take this kind of medicine? Let¡¯s see how long you can hold on.¡±
Following that, the mysterious man was closely monitoring Dean McKenzie¡¯s situation.
He estimated that half an hour was the most this potent stuff could let Dean explode. Any more would definitely not be possible.
Who would have expected Dean to explode for a whole three hours?
He swept through the first wave all by himself.
Watching Deanplete the first wave, the mysterious man was starting to question life.
¡°No way, just what did Ennis Hawkins give him?
To actually let him hold on for so long?
Just like this he got through the first wave, and I had prepared three waves for him. The second wave is over, the third is the key point. This kid better not bulldoze his way to the third wave at once.
That would be too much!
Calm down, calm down. There shouldn¡¯t be a problem, but if this kid couldst this long doesn¡¯t necessarily mean he can explode again. The second wave has elite monsters with strength greatly enhanced, he might not harvest as efficiently as the first wave.
Moreover, he¡¯s been exploding for so long, his limit should be arriving soon!¡± Another hour went by, the Secret Realm Energy was still consuming drastically. Not only it hadn¡¯t stopped, but even seemed to be surging more brutally.
The mysterious man was again questioning his life.
¡°No way, does this kid have no limit?
He¡¯s almost done with the second wave. If this continues, he¡¯ll reach the surprise point before Bloodbath. This cannot be, absolutely cannot be!¡± Saying that, the mysterious man pulled out a crystal radiating golden energy. With a cruel face: ¡°There¡¯s still more than ten hours until Bloodbath¡¯s eruption you think you¡¯re tough kid? I¡¯ll exhaust you.
Let¡¯s see who canst longer!¡±
The mysterious man said, and with a flip of his hand, the golden crystal disappeared instantly.
At the same time, inside Dean McKenzie¡¯s dungeon.
Dean, who had just upgraded his ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ skill, was worrying about running short of elite monsters.
As a result, the cracks in front of him trembled slightly, and then spit out elite monsters at a faster rate.
This made Dean excited.
He raised his hand and summoned his other ten Wraith Servants.
[You used ten Elite Temtes and summoned ten Wraith Servants!]1¡®
All the new ones are Skeletons of Bone Hardening.
But Dean didn¡¯t mind, he just kept killing monsters crazily, kept extracting, gave all the traits to Doggy Two and the others. Except Old Six, who is a Mage, all the others had their attribute points filled.
And while filling Doggy Two and their attribute points, Dean¡¯s level also rose to
¡°[Your level has increased to 30, your Agility and Spirit points increased by 3 each.]¡±??????????????????????? 3 J
¡°[You obtain one more Talent Grant Quota!]¡±
¡°I¡¯ve reached level 30, and can enhance one more attribute or skill. But it has to be a skill.
After all, in terms of attributes, I don¡¯t have Excellent Temtes right now, and how many attribute points can I consume by enhancing attributes?
This chance is so precious now, I should maximize the benefit by enhancing a skill.?? b
It¡¯s just that I seem to have too few Skeletons, and there isn¡¯t any suitable powerful Skill Essence either.¡±
Saying this, Dean¡¯s face showed a hint of regret.
And while Dean was regreting, the mysterious person outside was panting heavily.???? 6
¡°I can¡¯t believe a piece of Secret Realm Crystal can¡¯tst even an hour after being put inside. I¡¯ve realized that to him, Level 20 elite monsters are all fodder.
This kid is ruthless, but I¡¯m even more ruthless, kid!
If he¡¯s not affected by Level 20 elite monsters, I¡¯ll raise them to Level 21.
¡°Isn¡¯t your attack very sharp?
I¡¯ll summon one that you can¡¯t hit!¡±
The mysterious man said, gnashing his teeth, he took out 5 Secret Realm crystals. With a flip of his hand, the Secret Realm crystals vanished. Meanwhile, within the Secret Realm of the Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie, who wasining about almost running out of elite monsters, found the system¡¯s prompt refreshing in front of him.
¡°Please note, your second wave trial condition has entered enhancement mode.¡±
As the system refreshed, Dean McKenzie noticed that the crevice was spewing out skeletons again, while the Level of skeletons in the Land of Bone suddenly rose by 1. 3
From level 20 to level 21!
The level increase directly led to a one-turn.
Dean McKenzie was jubnt!
After all, in his opinion, there was no difference between a level 20 elite monster and a level 21 elite monster.
However, the attribute points which could be extracted went directly from 4 5 or 6, to a full 10.?????????????????????? ¡¯
Moreover, as the level rose, the essence quality also increased, which was perfect for Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill upgrade.
Dean McKenzie hastened to seize this opportunity, killing and extracting manically.
Fearing that he wouldn¡¯t be able to enhance his skills soon, in the final stage Dean McKenzie went all out.
In just over half an hour, Dean McKenzie had killed and extracted four or five hundred, and the extracted attributes amounted to as many as 5000.
Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie was busily killing and extracting, after brewing for more than half an hour, a huge skeleton monster finally took shape.
The monster was about 5 meters tall, with exaggeratedlyrge bones all over its body.
Every bone joint, every crevice, was covered.
It was as if it was wearing full-coverage bone armor.
Such an eye-catching monster, Dean McKenzie naturally spotted it right away. He used an Appraisal Skill and the monster¡¯s attributes appeared before him.
Name: Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior
Temte: Excellent
Level: 40

Attack: 100
Defense: 50 (500)
Spirit Power: 560

Dean McKenzie was somewhat dumbfounded by this monster¡¯s attributes.
Meanwhile, outside of the Secret Realm.
Being able to sense that his creation had taken form, the mysterious man finally let out a relieved smile.
¡°I barely made this monster appear, almost pushing against the rules of the second wave of the Secret Realm¡¯s operation.
A 40-level Excellent Temte, with maximized defense, paired with an abnormal skill, and a set of full-coverage silver armor, this fellow would have made me kneel even if I had encountered it back when I was at a one-turn.¡± ¡°You think you¡¯re badass, don¡¯t you? You think you can fight, don¡¯t you?
Come on, let me see you hit this¡ fuck!¡±
The mysterious man¡¯s words were interrupted.
Within the Land of Bone, one skeleton was outright smashed in the head by the teeth of Bone Fang..
Chapter 99 - 99: 099 Bone Prison Enhancement
Chapter 99: 099 Bone Prison Enhancement
Trantor: 549690339
In the Land of Bone, as Dean McKenzie fired a Bone Fang, the system prompts in front of him refreshed one after the other.
[Your skill [Bone Fang] has leveled up to level 5, base damage increases to
Spirit multiplied by 2.4 plus 162 times 3!]
[Mana consumption increases to 35!]
[You have sessfully in [Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior]!)
Looking at refreshed system prompts and the big guy that just exploded, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but curl his lips into a smile.
¡°I can¡¯t help but feel this dungeon is controlled by Anthony. Whatever I need, it invariably sends my way.
This time, I got the material required to enhance my [Bone Prison] skill!¡±
Saying that, Dean McKenzie immediately initiated the enhancement of the [Bone Prison] skill.
[You have initiated the enhancement of the [Bone Prison] skill!]
[You have ten minutes to assign the enhancement!]
[You extract from [Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior], you extract 10 Attribute points, one Excellent Essence [Bone of Reflective Damage], and an Excellent Essence [Super Bone Hardening]!]
Extracting two essences from a single creature, and both being Excellent Essences, is a first for Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie dumped all of them into [Bone Prison].
And simultaneously, extraction in full swing.
This time, for skill enhancement, Dean McKenzie unleashed his full potential.
With the Bone Shield leading the charge, he plunged into the midst of the skeletons.
Over one hundred points in Agility burst forth,pleting a meditation and three hundred extractions in only ten minutes.
[You used 7200 Silver Coins, assigning 7200 Attribute points into the [Bone Prison] skill, granting it the enhancement direction [Binding Energy]!]
[You consumed 1000 Silver Coins, assigning 1000 Attribute points to the [Bone Prison] skill, increasing [Coverage Area]!]
[You consumed 50 Silver Coins to merge the essence of [Bone of Reflective Damage] into the [Bone Prison] skill, creating the trait [Reflective Damage Cage]!]
[You spent 50 Silver Coins to merge [Super Bone Hardening] into the trait [Reflective Damage Cage]!]
[You spent 1500 Silver Coins allowing [Reflective Damage Cage] to absorb 300 essences!]
[The enhancement of your skill [Bone Prison] ispleted!]
Because [Bone Prison] is only one-turn enhanced, even though Dean
McKenzie¡¯s enhancement reached an unprecedented level, it only consumed 9800 Silver Coins, not even a hundred Gold Coins.
Although that¡¯s about ten million RMB, roughly equal in value to an entire luxury estate.
But it¡¯s definitely worth it!
Skill: Bone Prison (One-turn) (+1) (One Enhancement)
Level: Level 2 (35/IOOOO)
Incantation: Great strength of the bone, imprison all under heaven and earth!
Mana Consumption: 2500
Coverage Range: 25 meters by 25 meters
Effect: Releases a bone prison with energy equal to Spirit multiplied by 8 plus 7200 to imprison enemies, enemies will not be able to escape from the bone prison before its energy is exhausted.
PS: Enemies damaging the bone prison from the inside will suffer a 25% damage reduction
Trait: Reflective Damage Cage (Level 2)
Effect 1: Able to reflect the strength of those attacking the Bone Prison, reflecting 10% of external attacks, 20% of internal attacks
Effect 2: Defense Solidification, the defense equal to Spirit multiplied by 3, any attack lower than this defense cannot damage the Bone Prison. Any attack higher than this defense will only negate this part of the defense¡¯s damage.
Looking at this specific skill of his, Dean McKenzie was left dumbstruck.
This is insane, overpowered, utterly terrifying!
Dean McKenzie himself felt that enhancing this skill was a bit overkill.
¡°My Spirit power is 262.2 with equipment, which means if I use [Bone Prison], the energy of the [Bone Prison] can reach a terrifying 9297.6.
And once trapped inside, the enemy¡¯s attack is first reduced by 25%, then 20% of the damage is reflected back.
Every attack will be reduced by a further 786.6 damage.¡±
Dean McKenzie can feel the kind of despair that arises from being trapped within the Bone Prison, just from doing a quick calction.
¡°I¡¯m just not sure if the [Bone Scepter] can do any good. If it¡¯s useful, directly upgrading it to level 3 could easily imprison a Thir-turn existence. Even without upgrading it, they probably can¡¯t escape once they¡¯re trapped inside!¡±
With this skill, Dean McKenzie feels a bit of confidence about confronting the Earth Warrior of the Pighead n he encountered before.
Of course, this skill is powerful.
But there¡¯s also a problem.
One being the huge consumption, totaling up to 2500 at once.
The next is that the forey time after the enhancement has lengthened.
Originally it would only take a few seconds, but now, Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill won¡¯t work without about ten seconds of preparation time.
However, despite these disadvantages, they still can¡¯t overshadow the brilliance of this skill.
Dean McKenzie is quite happy about being able to enhance this particr skill.
What makes Dean McKenzie happier is that the Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior not only contributed two essences to him.
Besides those two essences, the Skeleton Warrior also exploded into three points of light.
Dean McKenzie opened all of them.
[You have opened three points of light, gained a gold coin, acquired the Full-Coverage Bone Armor, and obtained the Skill Book ¡®Super Bone Hardening¡¯!]
What¡¯s a big explosion?
This is a big explosion!
The mysterious person¡¯s ¡®cheating¡¯ to raise the difficulty of the copy also has a price.
And this is the price.
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s risk is high, the returns are equally high.
Not only did he gain two essences, which basically involved the Skeleton Warrior revealing all its tricks, it also allowed Dean McKenzie to make quite a profit.
Equipment: Full-Coverage Bone Armor
Quality: Silver
Level: Level 4.0
Usage Requirements: Skeleton Shield Warrior, Level 40
Effect 1: Add 50 points of strength and 50 points of physique
Effect 2: Add 250 points of defense
Effect 3: Bone Devouring (Special equipment effect, can grow by devouring bones.)

Description: Enhanced version of Bone Hardening skill.
Seeing the attributes of this equipment and this skill, Dean McKenzie was overjoyed.
He called over Doggy Four, his new subordinate and a Skeleton Shield Warrior, had him learn the skill and put on the equipment.
Name: Skeleton Shield Warrior (Doggy Four)
Temte: Elite

One-turn: Super Bone Hardening (level 1)
Equipment: Companion Bone Shield (Level 41) (Ordinary) Defense 50
Full-Coverage Bone Armor (40) (Silver)
With these attributes, doesn¡¯t it seem morevish than the previous ¡®Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior¡¯?
At least by cing it by his side, Dean McKenzie felt the level of safety has significantly multiplied!
Seeing Old Four¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie became even more ecstatic.
And while Dean McKenzie was happy, the mysterious person outside was not happy..

Chapter 100:100 Chasing the Mysterious Person who
Feeds
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Damn it, what kind of cheat did Anthony give this kid?
I thought I was already bending the rules enough by increasing the difficulty of the dungeon, but that kid is even worse.¡±
He¡¯s already smashed 6 Secret Realm Crystals here.
Even with his wealth, he¡¯s beginning to feel a pinch now.
He really wants to just give up now.
But he can¡¯t, the Secret Realm has its own operational rules. He can interfere to a certain extent, but he can¡¯t do whatever he wants.
Otherwise, he¡¯d just lie down and wait for the bloody side to recover before continuing.
So, in this situation, there¡¯s nothing he can do no matter how much it hurts, he can only continue to burn resources and dy progress.
¡°Progress must be dyed, but not in the way we¡¯ve been doing it.
From the information we currently have, the 21st level Elite Monster and the
20th level Elite Monster are no different to him.
Also, the fact that he could quickly take down the Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior suggests that he has Armor Break Damage, and a frightening physical attack, or a Mental Attack that can ignore physical defense.¡±
At this, the mysterious man pped his hands: ¡°Slow down the attack of the
21st level Elite, give him a hard-to-hit target!
Then, the mysterious man put his hand again, this time he got smart and just threw in a Secret Realm Crystal.
Then he started rubbing his hands, and soon he made a 40th level Excellent Temte Skeleton Assassin.
¡°I made a mistake just now, what defense specialization, we need an agility type to dy time, this time I want to see if you can still¡ damn!¡± Before the mysterious man¡¯s voice fell, the 40th-level Elite Monster inside was gagged by Old Eight.
Are you kidding? ying an assassin in front of Old Eight isn¡¯t that like showing off a big knife in front of Guan Gong?
Dean McKenzie happily got an Excellent Temte Fragment on his side.
And on the mysterious man¡¯s side.
Although he was frustrated this time, it was much better than before.
After all, it was the second time, and on the other hand, he was prepared early.
¡°Not bad, kid, even the agility type can¡¯t do anything to you?
But it¡¯s not a big deal. Without arge investment of 21st level Elite Monster, although it takes energy to interfere, a Secret Realm Crystal could be enough to produce one or two 40-level Excellent Temte monsters if used sparingly.
I¡¯ll have one for each type, there¡¯s bound to be one you like!
The mysterious man said, and got busy again.
Over two or three hours, he sent a lot of different kinds of monsters to Dean McKenzie.
There were Skeleton Archers with a shooting range of over a hundred meters.
There were Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Knights with mental protection abilities.
He even made a flying Skeleton Knight.
From defense, attack, long range, melee, physical, magic¡
He engineered all kinds of things for Dean McKenzie.
Including the earliest Fully Armored Skull Tank Warrior, he had made eight Excellent Beasts for Dean McKenzie.
The result was that the fastest one going in couldn¡¯t hold out for a minute, all kneel!
After one round, the mysterious man finally saw the light.
¡°Damn it, the one-turn level Excellent Beast is not useful for him at all! His fighting power is nowpletely of the second-turn level, although there may be shorings, but under the absolute power crush, the existence of one-turn in front of him does not have the ability to point out his shorings, unless I make the second-turn out.
To draw this conclusion, the mysterious man had consumed more than ten Secret Realm Crystals before and after.
The value of the Secret Realm Crystal, give Dean McKenzie a random one, he guesses he could report all his attribute points, except for Talent.
What made him vomit blood was that this conclusion was useless.
It¡¯s as if you¡¯re looking for a shortcut and then finding there¡¯s no shortcut at all, and all your work is wasted.¡±
In order to dy Dean McKenzie and buy some time, the mysterious man had to turn to the Secret Realm Crystals, using them as resources one by one.
Although it caused the mysterious man heartache each time he used one, it made Dean McKenzie absolutely thrilled.
After all, he was the one benefiting from it.
The eight excellent beasts he defeated provided him with seven pieces of the Excellent Temte fragment.
Four pieces of silver quality equipment.
Four one-turn skills.
Doggy Two, Mage Old Six, Archer Old Seven, and Assassin Old Eight all got new gear.
Bone Sword (40 Level) (Silver) (Strength +80, Attack +80)
Netherworld Staff (40 Level) (Silver) (Spirit +8o,es with skill [Nether Fire Armor] +1)
Bone Longbow (40 Level) (Silver) (Strength +10, Agility +70, Attack Distance +100 meters, deals an additional 100 points of ice damage)
Bone Dagger (40 Level) (Silver) (Armor Break Damage +100, Agility +80,es with [Bloodsucking Attribute] (Level 4))
While the four pieces of equipment were of average silver quality, they were still silver, right?
Equipping them, it led to a significant increase in the strength of Doggy Two and the others.
Not to mention, the mysterious man also gifted four one-turn skills.
They were [Bone Cross Chop], [Wraith Shot], [Small Nether Fire Rain], and [Bone Riding].
The Bone Riding skill was looted from the Skeleton Knight, and Dean McKenzie noticed that it required a [Skeleton Knight temte] to learn.
The remaining three could be used by any of the skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand.
Among them, [Small Nether Fire Rain], a one-turn AoE skill, was particrly eye-catching for Dean McKenzie.
After all, he only had one one-turn skill, and only one offensive skill.
If he could learn this skill, Dean McKenzie could consider mainly focusing on this AoE attack and crazily increase points in [Bone Fang¡¯s] single target attack.
Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t learn [Small Nether Fire Rain] as its use was restricted to Skeleton Mages.
¡°Why can¡¯t I, a Necromancer, be considered a Skeleton Mage?
Crappy system, crappy skill! It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t give it to me, I don¡¯t want it anyway.
Once I get out of here, I¡¯ll go buy it myself!¡±
Unable to reach the grapes, Dean McKenzie spitefullyined the grapes were sour.
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie could only console his wounded heart by relentlessly ughtering monsters and excelling at his extraction skill.
Due to theck of suitable Skill Enhancement, Dean McKenzie did not strengthen his Wraith Servants¡¯ skills, but added the extracted attribute points to the talent proficiency.
He wanted to take this opportunity to promptly promote his talent to level 3. Despite the number of elite monsters dropping slightly, which slowed down the progress a bit, it still took Dean McKenzie a mere three to four hours to umte the ten thousand proficiency points required for the talent upgrade.
However, even though he had enough proficiency, he couldn¡¯t directly level up the talent.
After all, to upgrade from a level 2 to a level 3 talent, he needed not only the proficiency but also a Talent Stone!
While Dean McKenzie was weighing up whether to casually select a wraith servant to enhance its skills since he had free time, a terrifying surge of energy erupted in Spring City outside the dungeon.
It looked as though something had torn open the sky.
At this moment, all attention in Spring City was drawn towards it.
The mysterious man, who Dean McKenzie had been constantly vexing, also looked up.
¡°Finally, the Rift¡¯s been opened on Bloody¡¯s side, kid your good days are numbered now!¡±
Chapter 101 - 101:101 Ultimate Trial
Chapter 101:101 Ultimate Trial
Trantor: 549690339
The Bloody Church had prematurely opened the rift.
This was undoubtedly excellent news for the mysterious man.
It lifted the spirits of the man who Dean McKenzie had worn out with his relentless attacks.
He ceased to dy the time, and stopped feeding the Secret Realm Crystal to the clone.
With the desertion of the mysterious man, the second wave of monsters that Dean McKenzie was already struggling with came to aplete end.
Dean McKenzie casually shot a Bone Fang to eliminate the remaining skeletons.
As thest skeleton fell, system notifications began rolling in on Dean McKenzie¡¯s end.
[You have passed the second trial, the final trial begins!]
The system notification refreshed simultaneously, the sound of a rift being torn opened echoed.
At the edge of Land of Bone, a giant rift was ripped open.
Following that, a massive Bone Throne was thrust out of the rift,nding on Land of Bone.
As the Bone Throne settled, the skeletons that were previously wiped out by Dean McKenzie began to tremble.
At this point, the mysterious man outside the clone finally revealed a victorious grin.
¡°The real difficulty of this clone lies in thest wave.
That kid thought he was capable and attacked incessantly for several hours, consuming dozens of my Secret Realm Crystals.
I may have used up my Secret Realm Crystals, but he has inadvertently paved his own way to a dead end.
Perhaps he might have had a slight chance of clearing this final barrier, but now it¡¯s absolutely hopeless!¡±
As the mysterious man spoke, the trembling bones in the Land of Bone begin to rise.
They transformed into several streaks of light, converging within the massive Bone Throne.
Within those lights, the apparition of a skeletal frame was slowly forming.
The entire process was surprisingly swift.
In less than five minutes, the apparition of the skeletal frame was mostly formed.
The final BOSS had made its appearance.
Almost at the same time, the mysterious man sneered: ¡°A level three boss, what can a level one Necromancer do against it?¡±
Having said this, the mysterious man paused, casting his gaze towards a certain location in Spring City.
¡°Anthony, your surprise is here!¡±
At the same time, in theb.
Ennis Hawkins, who had been watching the Demon Box, abruptly lifted his head to look outside Spring City.
He couldn¡¯t possibly have missed the immense activity of the Bloody Church opening the rift.
¡°Heavenly Abyss? How is this possible? How could a Heavenly Abyss be near Spring City? Could it be?¡±
A possibility shed in Ennis Hawkins¡¯s mind: ¡°Is this the so-called surprise?!!
Damn it!¡±
Realising this possibility, Ennis Hawkins¡¯s body began to tremble uncontrobly.
¡°If there¡¯s a score to settle, it should be with me. Why do this?
Even the slightest mistake could obliterate the entire Spring City.
No, it can¡¯t be allowed out!¡±
Ennis Hawkins abruptly rose to his feet. He could not, under any circumstances, allow Spring City toe to any harm because of him.
So he had to nip the danger in the bud.
However, just as he was about to take action, the Demon Box in front of Ennis Hawkins began shaking violently.
Simultaneously, the shrill rm in theb went off.
Theb personnel promptly reported to Ennis Hawkins: ¡°Sir, unprecedented energy fluctuations areing from the Demon Box!
ording to the energy feedback in the Demon Box, the trial has reached its most crucial moment.¡±
As a matter of fact, Ennis Hawkins didn¡¯t need a report. He was perfectly aware of the state of the Demon Box.
He knew even more clearly that Dean McKenzie¡¯s life was hanging by a thread.
At the same time, a dilemma was ced in front of Ennis Hawkins.
Would he choose to stay and save Dean McKenzie, or go to where the rift was, to prevent the monster within the rift from escaping.
Obviously, this was the ¡®surprise¡¯ that the mysterious man had prepared for Ennis Hawkins.
At this moment, a ck Crystal Ball appeared in the mysterious man¡¯s hand, disying Ennis Hawkins as seen from the Demon Box¡¯s perspective.
Watching Ennis Hawkins trapped in his dilemma, the mysterious man who had previously been rather agitated when dealing with Dean McKenzie, was exceptionally calm now.
He quietly waited for Ennis Hawkins to make his choice.
However, not only the mysterious man was waiting for Ennis Hawkins¡¯s decision.
At the same time, in the Mirror Stand of Spring City, Breanna Holt was also watching theb.
She was obviously aware of the ¡®surprise¡¯ n of the mysterious man.
She also knew clearly of the dilemma Ennis Hawkins was facing.
She leaned lightly against the window sill, swirling her wine ss with a teasing expression: ¡°Didn¡¯t you say life isn¡¯t a calction problem?
Now I ce a calction problem right in front of you, let¡¯s see if you choose to save one person or a city!¡±
Bang!
Almost at the same time when Breanna Holt finished speaking, a figure riding a white horse radiating with holy light burst out from the direction of theb.
Seeing this, Breanna Holt smirked.
¡°So you¡¯ve made a choice, you chose to save Spring City?
It seems that in your saintly eyes, the lives of the cityfolk are indeed more important than one individual!¡±
As she said this, there was no teasing in Breanna Holt¡¯s expression.
Because she didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with the choice Ennis Hawkins made.
Whether from the saintly perspective or the rational perspective, abandoning Dean McKenzie at this point was the right choice.
¡°After all, the lives of a city of people are more important than one individual.
Even if Dean McKenzie dies, as long as he saves the city, no one will me him, and he can still be a hero.
So, this abandonment is rational.
It seems that this ¡®Saint Anthony¡¯ has finally matured¡ wait a minute, what¡¯s that?¡±
Breanna Holt narrowed her eyes, abruptly moving her gaze to Ennis Hawkins.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn¡¯t hard to see that Ennis Hawkins was riding a horse with a box, specifically, the Demon Box.
Ennis Hawkins took the Demon Box with him.
Despite its enormous weight at this crucial moment, Ennis Hawkins still gritted his teeth and took it along.
Racing towards the outskirts of Spring City.
While charging towards the rift, Ennis Hawkins didn¡¯t forget tomunicate with the Professional Alliance of Spring City, asking them to stand guard over the city.
Watching Ennis Hawkins in this state, Breanna Holt squints her eyes.
¡°Alright, it seems I have to take back what I said earlier, this ¡®Saint Anthony¡¯ hasn¡¯t matured at all.
He¡¯s still so naive!
Clearly, he didn¡¯t entertain the idea of giving up on either an individual or a city.
He ns to save both.
But the question is, can he do it? Does he have the power to?¡±
As Breanna Holt said this, Ennis Hawkins¡¯s pace suddenlygged behind..
Chapter 102 - 102:102 Awakening
Chapter 102:102 Awakening
Trantor: 549690339 |
Spring City, Ennis Hawkins side.
As Ennis Hawkins left theb with the Demon Box more than to miles away, the weight of the Demon Box dramatically increased.
What was being held inside the Demon Box at this moment was Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone, which was undergoing a Trial.
It¡¯s no exaggeration to say that holding this Demon Box was basically equivalent to holding the entire Land of Bone.
However, when Ennis Hawkins came out, the Mysterious Man had not yet released the mass of the Demon Box.
But as Ennis Hawkins fled theb carrying the Demon Box, the Mysterious
Man began to gradually release the mass of the Demon Box.
First, he released one percent.
Just one percent of the weight had already slowed Ennis Hawkins down.
At this time, Ennis Hawkins was already feeling the pressure, but he still held
the Demon Box tightly and pressed on.
As Ennis Hawkins continued to move forward, the weight of the Demon Box was continuously released, increasing the force on Ennis Hawkins.
Under this constant addition of weight, Ennis Hawkins¡¯ speed was getting slower and slower.
Given the current situation.
If Ennis Hawkins did not give up the Demon Box, by the time he reached the
crack, it would already be toote.
Ennis Hawkins was trapped in a dilemma once again.
At this time, a sigh sounded next to Ennis Hawkins¡¯ ear.
¡°Why do you insist on shouldering all the burdens yourself?
This matter isn¡¯t just your responsibility alone!
Ennis Hawkins was taken aback, turned his head and saw that Anson Harris, the head of the Spring City Branch, and the ten Law Enforcement Team leaders of Spring City had already appeared behind him. Looking at them, Ennis Hawkins raised an eyebrow: ¡°Why are you guys here? Didn¡¯t I say this was my responsibility¡?¡±
¡°What, are you telling me how to do my job?¡±
Anson Harris arrogantly interrupted Ennis Hawkins.
The leaders of Law Enforcement Teams behind him stood up one by one. They said things like, ¡°we can¡¯t let you be the hero all by yourself¡±, ¡°the merit should be shared, not all yours¡±, ¡°protecting Spring City is also our responsibility¡± and ¡°it¡¯s time we repaid you¡±.
¡°We are determined for this battle!
No one, including you, can dissuade us!¡±
Looking at the Law Enforcement Team leaders in front of him.
Listening to their cold, arrogant, or gentle words, Ennis Hawkins couldn¡¯t help trembling: ¡°You guys¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ve cleared things up here in Spring City. The support from
Thorn Oak City will arrive in no more than an hour. There won¡¯t be any problems here in Spring City.
As for your situation, it¡¯s not a dire one, we will hold the crack first, you can take your time!¡±
Anson Harris said, patted Ennis Hawkins on the shoulder, and didn¡¯t give Ennis Hawkins a chance to object. They charged towards the crack.
Ennis Hawkins was already toote to stop them.
In the end, watching the backs of Anson Harris and his men heading towards the crack, Ennis Hawkins gritted his teeth and fully activated his divine light, carrying the Demon Box at maximum speed.
In the face of Ennis Hawkins¡¯ full strength, his speed, little by little, began to increase.
Even though he couldn¡¯t catch up with Anson Harris and his men, he could see
their backs.
Looking at the backs before him, looking at the rapidly approaching crack, Ennis Hawkins took a deep breath.
Everything was finally moving in a positive direction.
However, just as Ennis Hawkins breathed a sigh of relief, Anson Harris and his men arrived at the edge of the crack.
¡°Boom!¡±
As Anson Harris and his men approached the crack, a terrifying energy erupted from within.
Anson Harris and the others who had just approached were hit first and were immediately engulfed by this energy.
Without even a scream, they vanished.
Seeing this scene, Ennis Hawkins¡¯s mind was blown away.
His mind went nk, and he waspletely stupefied on the spot.
It took a very long time for him to regain his senses.
Not until the energy reaction passed by him did he snap back to reality.
When he came to his senses, he saw the Demon Box emitting intense energy
fluctuations.
The entire box started to deform.
¡°No, not it, not it!¡±
Anson Harris and the other men had died in front of Ennis Hawkins. He couldn¡¯t, and wouldn¡¯t allow Dean to die in front of him again.
He raised the broken sword in his hand, bursting with energy, intending to split the Demon Box open.
But before he could raise his sword, the Demon Box had already shattered.
At the same time, Ennis Hawkins¡¯smunication device rang.
¡°Sir, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Substitute Doll is missing.
The situation might be developing in the worst direction we feared!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Almost at the same time as Ennis Hawkins¡¯smunication device went off, the crack exploded open again.
This time, it wasn¡¯t energy spilling out, but a horde of monsters.
At this moment, Ennis Hawkins was hit with three consecutive blows.
His colleagues with whom he had spent day-in and day-out had perished, Dean, who had initiated the Trial for him, had died, and the monsters he had been hoping to hold back at the crack were pouring out.
In no more than a minute, he had failed at everything he endeavored to do.
The magnitude of this blow to him was unimaginable.
At the very moment when Ennis Hawkins waspletely drained, the figure of Breanna Holt appeared next to him. Looking at Ennis Hawkins on the verge of copse, Breanna Holt smirked.
¡°You killed them!
If you had been more resolute and surrendered the boy from the beginning, the current situation might not have urred.
Maybe, Anson Harris and the others wouldn¡¯t have died.
If they were alive, they might have been able to stop the monsters from emerging from the crack.
But you didn¡¯t make that choice, you chose to save everyone. Your actions might seem gentlemanly and romantic, but in reality, you¡¯re merely a coward whocks courage and can¡¯t make decisions!
In the end, you couldn¡¯t save anything!¡±
Breanna Holt¡¯s words prompted the devastated Ennis Hawkins to slowly raise his head.
The newlyposed Ennis Hawkins was like a different person than before, and what he said was even more astonishing: ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right, I did kill them.
But it¡¯s not because of my choices that they died, it¡¯s because of myck of power.
If I had been stronger, they would not have died!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
Breanna Holt¡¯s eyebrows raised, she felt that something was off.
At this moment, Ennis Hawkins released a strong, ck, divine light.
At the same moment, the Mysterious Man, who had just thrown the unconscious Anson Harris and others to the side, looked up as if sensing something, his gaze directed towards Ennis Hawkins.
¡°Finally, it took a few tries, but we finally made it!¡±
A gratified smile appeared on his face, but it quickly faded.
¡°Damn, Anthony, you really shouldn¡¯t have given that kid such a big
opportunity.
He¡¯s too young, only just having reached ¡°One-turn¡±, he can¡¯t handle such a big opportunity.
Most importantly, you¡¯ve never given me such a big opportunity before!¡±
Chapter 103 - 103:103 Trial Clearances
Chapter 103:103 Trial Clearances
Trantor: 549690339
Even though sessfully guiding Ennis Hawkins towards awakening should be an amazingly happy event, at this very moment, the mysterious man was experiencing a blend of pain and pleasure.
The pleasure undoubtedly came from Ennis¡¯s side. After nning it for so long, he finally helped Ennis break the shackles of the past 20 years.
More than that, making Ennis recall the sealed quest that was alreadypleted, helped him achieve the fourth-turn in one go. Thus, the mysterious man also fulfilled his long-standing wish.
But the pain mostly came from Dean McKenzie¡¯s situation.
Time rewinded back a few minutes ago, particrly, the several seconds when the ¡°Demon Box¡± shattered.
Those seconds were a near-death experience for the mysterious man.
If his reaction had been a little slower, he probably wouldn¡¯t have achieved the effect he has now.
Because what happened in the ¡°Demon Box¡± again exceeded his expectations.
The mysterious man originally thought that a third-turn BOSS would be enough to knock down Dean McKenzie.
He had already written the script, and Dean had a ¡°Substitute Doll¡±. Once Dean ¡®died¡¯, he would stealthily sneak him out, thus creating the illusion of Dean¡¯s death to impact Ennis Hawkins¡¯s mind.
But what he didn¡¯t expect was that Dean didn¡¯t y out the script he had written.
He killed that boss head-on.
This led to those few seconds being extraordinarily thrilling for him.
If it wasn¡¯t for his quick and decisive reaction and his decision to risk a precious item at that critical moment, his entire n would¡¯ve nearly copsed.
Although the opportunity has now been sessfully seized, the mysterious man felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
No, it was his wallet that had been hollowed out.
If Anthony wasn¡¯t sessful in his awakening, he would¡¯ve been devoid of any joy left.
On the other hand, unlike the mysterious man, Dean McKenzie was filled with joy at this moment.
A few minutes ago, in the Land of Bone.
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze, the shape of the third wave BOSS slowly took form.
Very quickly, a Skeleton Knight, riding a skeleton horse, engulfed in Netherworld mes, materialized before Dean¡¯s eyes.
Because it was the final boss, Dean didn¡¯t even need to use the Appraisal Skill. As soon as his gaze fell on it, its attributes appeared before him.
Name: Netherworld Skeleton Knight
Temte: Excellent
Trait: Knight¡¯s Heart (D) (Increase sprint speed by 50%, attack power increased by 50% after sprinting)
Level: 61
Stats:
Strength: 4.10 (240), Agility: no, Physique: 200 (240), Spirit: 1
Attack: 1025 (500)
Defense: 500 (1200)
Spirit Power: 12000
Skills: Charge (level 7), Riding (level 8), Heavy Strike (level 6)
First-turn: Netherworld Charge (level 5), Agile Riding (level 5)
Second-turn: Netherworld Break (level 3), Power of the Nether (level 4)
Third-turn: Lesser Netherworld Devastating Lancer (level 1)
Equipment: Netherworld Long Spear (level 61) (Silver) (Adds 240 points to strength, 500 points to attack)
Netherworld Suit (level 61) (Silver) (Adds 240 points to physique, 1200 points to defense)
Mount: Netherworld Skeleton Horse (level 61) (Excellent) (800 agility, increases the power of knight skills by 200%)
Those stats¡
Dean was stunned when he saw them.
What do you call extravagance? The very thing Dean was looking at was extravagance!
These stats, Dean felt, were even more ridiculous than the pig-headed earth knight.
Though he hadn¡¯t seen the detailed stats of the pighead, Dean felt that the pighead¡¯s attributes wouldn¡¯t be more insane than this creature¡¯s.
Moreover, if they were to fight, this creature¡¯sbat power would definitely surpass that of the pighead, let alone Dean himself.
Dean felt a chill run down his spine just from looking at its stats.
¡°Damn it! I was just taking advantage of the instance a little. Did they really need to use such an overpowered monster against me?
That¡¯s really so not fair and square.
But it¡¯s a good thing I don¡¯t care for the fair and square either!¡±
Dean smiled, activated the long-prepared Bone Prison skill, and imprisoned the Skeleton Knight inside it as soon as it materialized.
This was the only advantage that the third wave held for Dean, as it allowed him to prepare his skills in advance.
Dean was lucky to have just upgraded his [Bone Prison] skill.
And now, it came into practical use straight away.
The Skeleton Knight had just appeared, but it was tightly trapped by the huge Bone Prison.
If they had to fight hand to hand, given the speed of preparation and the coverage area of the Bone Prison and the terrifying speed of the knight, Dean was afraid that the moment he lifted his hand, he would be pierced by the knight¡¯s long spear.
But Dean was lucky.
The knight hadn¡¯t even started charging yet, but Dean¡¯s Bone Prison was already thrown out.
As a result, the Skeleton Knight was dumbfounded.
He couldn¡¯t fight, he absolutely couldn¡¯t fight.
All the knight¡¯s skills were riding skills, and all his riding skills required a charging start.
But Dean didn¡¯t give him the chance to charge. He first used Bone Prison, effectively trapping him immediately.
Under these circumstances, the knight was just left with standard attacks and the basic skill Heavy Strike at level 6.
Heavy Strike (level 6) (Increase attack by 3.1 times the strength)
The Skeleton Knight, with his equipped strength reaching as high as 650 points, can deliver a burst Heavy Strike, resulting in damage as high as 3500 points.
This damage, when inflicted on the Bone Prison, is first reduced by twenty-five percent, then reduced further by three times the fixed defense value of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Spirit.
The remaining damage only amounts to around neen hundred.
On his own, the Skeleton Knight then has to endure over seven hundred points of Reflect Damage.
It¡¯s like the old saying, ¡°If you harm the enemy by a thousand, you damage yourself by eight hundred.¡± His situation fits the saying perfectly.
However, his Heavy Strike is certainly not to be overlooked; even though under Dean McKenzie¡¯s trait of Control over Bones, the Bone Prison¡¯s energy could reach about fourteen thousand.
His single strike still managed to do away with nearly one-seventh of its energy.
That gave Dean McKenzie quite a scare.
¡°No good, I can¡¯t let him continue to strike like this. Six more strikes like this, and won¡¯t my Bone Prison be ruined?¡± Dean determined, quickly throwing his all into a counterattack.
He immediatelyunched a Bone Fang attack while Anthony circled behind the Skeleton Knight,nding a Backstab attack.
Under regr circumstances, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang attacks wouldn¡¯t even touch the Skeleton Knight.
However, the Skeleton Knight was ill-fated, rigidly trapped within the Bone Prison.
As long as the Bone Prison wasn¡¯t broken, the Skeleton Knight could not move nor turn its body, only standing there passively taking each impact.
From the front, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fangs directly entered through its eye sockets, while from the back, Anthony reached the Skeleton Knight¡¯s neck after a leap.
The Skeleton Knight had no choice but to receive all damages, front and back, in full.
And most of the hits were on critical spots.
Still, the Skeleton Knight only begrudgingly exploded after enduring one Backstab from Anthony and three Bone Fangs from Dean McKenzie.
[You have sessfully killed the Netherworld Skeleton Knight (Level 61) (Excellent). Your level has increased to 32!]
[Your Agility and Spirit attributes have each increased by 6 free attribute points!]
Perhaps it was because this was the first time Dean McKenzie had killed a third-turn boss on his own; hepletely imed the whole lot of Experience Points.
He leveled up twice in one go.
At longst, his Spirit attribute managed to exceed 200 points without any equipment.
Moreover, after reaching level 31, McKenzie could add 30 points to his Spirit attribute every time he leveled up.
As long as he targeted suitable monsters, it would be quite easy for McKenzie to boost his Spirit attribute to 260 points.
With the death of the Netherworld Skeleton Knight,
A few light spheres burst out.
Simultaneously, system prompts began refreshing in front of McKenzie¡¯s vision.
[You have sessfully passed the trial initiated by the opening of the Demon Box!]
[Your trial grade is SS Level!]
[As this trial was initiated by a treasure chest, you receive no mission rewards, only the right to unlock the treasure chest¡]
The third system prompt made Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart leap.
His face grew dark instantly, and just as he was on the verge of cursing, the third system prompt suddenly stuck.
Following swiftly, the fourth system prompt refreshed.
[You¡¯ve obtained the following rewards: 1. You¡¯ve received 100 Free Attribute Points2. You¡¯ve procured 1 Secret Realm Crystal and 1 Secret Realm Modification Scroll!3. You¡¯ve received 1 Talent Stone]
[You¡¯ve been granted the permission to open the Demon Box!]
As the fourth system prompt refreshed,
The Secret Realm of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone began to shake. Instantly, the fissure in the sky healed and disappeared.
In front of McKenzie, three items of reward appeared.
One sweep of his gaze revealed the attributes of all three items.
Secret Realm Crystal: Special Item, bursting with the Power of the Secret Realm, can be used to upgrade and modify the Secret Realm
Talent Stone: Special Item, can be used to unlock Talents, but with an extremely low sess rate of only one percent
Secret Realm Modification Scroll (White): Can be used to remodel and upgrade the environment of the Secret Realm, allowing for additional features such as mountains, rivers, forests, magma, etc. to be added.
Requires consumption of: 1 Secret Realm Crystal
Looking at the incredibly simple attributes of these three items, Dean couldn¡¯t help but gasp for breath.
He had to admit, he was pleasantly surprised by these three items.
¡°These are all things I can use, and they¡¯re also the things I¡¯m in desperate need of right now!
I do not need to mention the Talent Stone because I need one to level up my Talent.
However, this Secret Realm Crystal and Secret Realm Modification Scroll are also incredibly important to me. With these two, I can hopefully create a river in the Land of Bone, can¡¯t I?
If I could create a river, then in the future, whether in the Land of Bone or where the Gate of Bone can be opened, I could basically achieve Mana freedom!¡±
Envisioning the bright future, Dean beamed, unable to contain his joy.
However, delightful as it was.
McKenzie didn¡¯t rush to make use of these items.
He hadn¡¯t forgotten why he decided to raid this ce in the first ce.
Having cleared this ce now, he should first check out Anthony¡¯s situation to see whether his mission wasplete.
In passing, he should open the Demon Box which returned to his hands after the trial waspleted.
¡°These items aren¡¯t going to vanish on their own, so it doesn¡¯t matter when I use them!¡±
Having said that, Dean opened the Gate of Bone, stepping out with one foot.
However, the moment his foot crossed the threshold, his expression changed drastically, his eyes widening in rm: ¡°Hold on!¡±
Chapter 104 - 104:104 Killing Breanna Holt
Chapter 104:104 Killing Breanna Holt
Trantor: 549690339
Outside of Spring City.
A little while before Dean McKenzie came out of the Land of the Bone.
Seeing a sh of ck holy glow brighten up on Ennis Hawkins, Breanna Holt¡¯s face changed.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Intuition, no, it should be said that this glow of ck holy light in front of her told her the n had gone majorly wrong, Ennis Hawkins had overpowered. This was something Breanna Holt absolutely cannot allow.
¡°No, the matter has reached this state, Ennis Hawkins must die!
There can¡¯t be any idents, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t only not be able to return to Thorn Oak City, my life might not even be guaranteed!¡±
With that, Breanna Holt unhesitantly prepared tounch a shameful sneak attack on Ennis Hawkins.
However, Breanna Holt¡¯s shameful sneak attack was forced to stop before it even started.
Because at this moment, the ck holy light on Ennis Hawkins glowed brightly.
On Ennis Hawkins, it was as if some shackles had been shattered.
Then, the third-turn barrier that troubled Ennis Hawkins for 20 years shattered.
Ennis Hawkins¡¯ level directly elevated from level 80 to 81, reaching the major power level he and Dean McKenzie had spoken of.
However, it wasn¡¯t over, and even more inconceivable was Ennis Hawkins¡¯ level boosting swiftly straight to level too.
More unbelievable than Ennis Hawkins esction were his terrifying powers at this moment.
On Ennis Hawkins, in front of the ck holy light, Breanna Holt felt an even deeper and more terrifying pressure than the Fifth-turn Upper Ranks in Thorn Oak City.
In front of the holy light, Breanna Holt found himself even struggling to breathe.
All she could do was watch as Ennis Hawkins was shrouded in ck holy light a pair of pitch-ck wings full of holy aura gradually materialized behind him. ¡°Boom!¡±
In the instant that the ck wings expanded.
Breanna Holt¡¯s brain boomed, her ears, eyes, nose, mouth sprayed blood almost simultaneously.
Just this aura alone made Breanna Holt, a top-level third-turn terror at level 80, spit out blood.
One could only imagine how terrifying Ennis Hawkins was at this time. In fact, what Breanna Holt encountered was merely an aftereffect.
Her target of the wing expansion weren¡¯t her after all, but those creatures covering the sky several kilometers away, ready to descend onto Spring City, those that had emerged from the crack.
At the same time Breanna Holt spat blood, the movements of the creatures stuttered.
Then, Ennis Hawkins¡¯ pupils darkened and the ck wings on his back pped lightly.
In an instant, the sky became dark.
The horde of creatures that was coursing into the sky instantly lost their lives and fell from the sky one by one.
Before they even hit the ground, they turned into powder.
Meanwhile, the crack that was originally torn open temporarily vanished bit by bit under this light pping of wings.
Watching this scene, an infinite fear surged through Breanna Holt¡¯s already dying body, causing her whole body to tremble uncontrobly.
Only until this moment did she realize how terrifying the existence she wanted to plot against, to kill was.
What ability, or what virtue, or how many lives did she, Breanna Holt, had to plot against such a powerful figure?
It¡¯s over!
A shadow of despair cast over Breanna Holt¡¯s heart.
Especially when Ennis Hawkins dealt with the crack and turned his head to look at her.
Breanna Holt felt as if the whole world had turned dark, and her heart stopped beating.
¡°Sir¡¡±
She almost instinctively used the title in a bid to beg for mercy.
Just as Breanna Holt was about to open her mouth, a ck holy light on Ennis Hawkins¡¯ body suddenly stagnated, Ennis Hawkins like being drained of his spirits, copsed.
In Breanna Holt¡¯s eyes, it was as though a towering giant had fallen.
Breanna Holt was filled with terror.
¡°Thump!¡±
Only when Ennis Hawkins fell to the ground with a thud, the shock in Breanna
Holt s eyes gradually dissipated, turning into surprise.
¡°Alive, survived?
Survived!
Great, lucky!¡±
Breanna Holt, who usually looks high and mighty, scheming in front of the absolute power.
After pulling herself out of her despair, she didn¡¯t behave much better than a little girl.
Ecstasy, relief.
Then there was terror, she got up and ran by rolling and crawling.
She wanted to avoid Ennis Hawkins, afraid that if she ran toote, she¡¯d be unable to run at all.
But Breanna Holt was not a little girl, she was more rational and more ruthless than most of them.
Halfway through her escape, Breanna Holt stopped in her tracks.
More urately, it took enormous courage for her to stop and turn around to look at Ennis Hawkins, who had copsed and lost consciousness on the ground.
At this moment, her bloody face showed a changing array of emotions.
Sometimes cruel, sometimes scared.
In the end, the grim cruelness reced the terror.
¡°He must die! If he doesn¡¯t die, I will!¡±
As she said this, Breanna Holt gritted her teeth, took out her equipment ¨C a whip that was nearly ten meters long, and prepared to strike Ennis Hawkins dead.
However, what Breanna Holt didn¡¯t know or see was that behind her, at a distance of less than a meter, a mysterious person, his entire body cloaked beneath a ck, long hooded robe, was standing there.
The pawn has served its purpose, time to sweep it off the board!¡±
Apparently, in the eyes of the mysterious person, Breanna Holt was already a dead woman.
However, the mysterious person did not intend to kill Breanna Holt personally.
¡°There¡¯s someone more suited than me to do this!¡±
Almost as soon as the words of the mysterious person fell, the Gate of Bone opened behind Ennis Hawkins, and Dean McKenzie, who had just cleared a duplicate dungeon, walked out!
As soon as Dean McKenzie came out, he saw Aidan, or rather, Breanna Holt whipping Ennis Hawkins, who was lying on the ground barely breathing.
He was shocked and quickly shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±
Of course, Dean McKenzie was not so naive to believe that merely shouting
would make Breanna Holt stop.
So as he shouted, Dean McKenzie tossed out the pighead summoning order, which he had held on to in the duplicate dungeon but hadn¡¯t used.
[You have sessfully used the item ¡®Pighead Summoning Order¡¯. You have sessfully summoned the ¡®Pighead Earth Warrior¡¯ (Excellent) (65 Level)] The system prompt refreshed.
Almost at the same time, the pighead that had been obliterated by Dean McKenzie and the maidservant pig was summoned out of thin air, blocking Ennis Hawkins¡¯s front.
Seeing that familiar figure appear, Dean McKenzie felt a lot more relieved.
He felt that he had drawn a good card.
However, the next second, the pighead was blown apart by Breanna Holt¡¯s whip.
A Third-turn is not the same as another Third-turn.
In Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, the pighead was a mighty force, but in front of
Breanna Holt, it was nothing more than a weed.
Just a single hit, and it was blown apart!
Even if Breanna Holt was severely injured now, and had only a tenth of her strength left, she was still not something a level 65 pighead could withstand.
As Breanna Holt killed the pighead, her gaze fell on Dean McKenzie: ¡°It is you?¡±
¡°You¡¯re just in time, I will kill you too!¡±
Saying this, the long whip in her hand directlyshed at Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie also instinctively moved forward to protect Anthony, and at
the same time, heunched his Bone Fang.
In fact, after the pighead got killed, Dean McKenzie had no confidence in
facing Breanna Holt anymore.
Heunched his Bone Fang, but he did not hold any hope.
He wanted to dy, even a second would be good, so that he could seize the opportunity to send Anthony into the Land of Bone, while he himself could only gamble on the effect of the Substitute Doll.
But what Dean McKenzie did not expect was that as soon as the Bone Fang was
unched, the system prompt refreshed immediately.
[You have sessfully killed Breanna Holt (Rare) (80 Level), your level has risen to 35!]
[Your Agility and Spirit each increase by 9 points!]
[You received a Talent Grant Quota!]
¡°What?¡±
Dean McKenzie was stunned, turning his head to look at Breanna Holt.
He saw Breanna Holt still holding up the action of waving the whip, while her forehead had been pierced by the Bone Fang.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie was left dumbfounded.
Watching the dumbfounded Dean McKenzie, the mysterious person lifted his head, revealing a handsome face, with a triumphant smile all over it.
¡°Kid, are you shocked?¡±
Chapter 105 - 105:105 Bruce Hodge
Chapter 105:105 Bruce Hodge
Trantor: 549690339
Thom Oak City.
Professional Alliance.
At the same time when the crack in Spring City opened, the cry for help was sent to Thorn Oak City.
The Rapid Response Team of Thorn Oak City¡¯s Professional Alliance, upon receiving the distress signal from Spring City, immediately assembled an elite team to be dispatched to Spring City.
However, before the team could move, an order came from the newly appointed president of the Thorn Oak City Alliance branch office, which had recently been transferred. The ordermanded the Rapid Response Team to temporarily suspend the action.
As soon as he heard themand, Liam Hawkins, the captain of the Rapid Response Team of Thorn Oak City, instantly blew up.
¡°Suspend the action?
A crack has opened, monsters are attacking the city, can we dy our response to such an event?
Even the investigation and ountability shoulde after the rescue!
Disregard the order, take action immediately!
Whatever happens, I¡¯ll take responsibility!¡±
Afterward, the elite group of the Rapid Response Team, directly ignoring the orders of the branch president, sped towards Spring City.
Almost at the same time.
The movements of the Rapid Response Team were reported to the new president of Thorn Oak City.
-Mr. President, the Rapid Response Team has disregarded your order and has already set off to assist Spring City!¡±
It was Bruce Hodge, the new president of Thorn Oak City¡¯s branch. He reacted calmly to the report from his subordinate, ¡°This was expected.
The current captain of the Rapid Response Team, Liam Hawkins, was a man that Ennis Hawkins had nurtured with his own hands fifteen years ago. As a direct subordinate of Ennis Hawkins, it would be strange if he obeyed my order to suspend the operation!¡±
At his words, his subordinate raised his eyebrows, ¡°Mr. President, Liam Hawkins is misusing public resources and deliberately defying the orders of the alliance, trampling on the rules of the alliance. Please, Mr. President, consider purging this harmful element for the alliance!¡±
¡°Purge him?¡±
Bruce Hodge shookhis head with a bitter smile, ¡°The deputy president of the Thorn Oak City Alliance, the captain of the Rapid Response Team, the deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team, three gold card holders of the Mirror Stand, three deputy heads of the corp defending the Heavenly Abyss; all of these people without exception, were brought up by Ennis Hawkins.
Now that I am indeed the lord of this city, the surname of this city is actually not mine, but Hawkins!
If I¡¯m not careful, who gets purged is not yet decided!
-Mr. President, how can you be so dejected? Ennis Hawkins indeed holds great power in Thorn Oak City, but you are not without support, you have the entire alliance behind you.
You can rest assured that the alliance will definitely provide you with the greatest support and help you remove this cancerous tumor of Ennis Hawkins from the alliance!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Bruce Hodge squinted towards the direction of Spring City, ¡°That¡¯s precisely why I came here this time; to extract this cancerous tumor for the alliance.
No matter how powerful Ennis Hawkins is in Spring City, I will not back down. I, Bruce Hodge, am ready to go all out for the alliance until myst breath!¡± Hearing the righteous words from Bruce Hodge, his subordinates were filled with admiration, ¡°Mr. President¡¯s righteousness is admirable, I¡¯m also willing to sacrificially give my all for the president and the great cause of the alliance!¡¯ ¡°Very good. The alliance needs talents like you.
Go ahead, keep a close eye on the movements in Spring City!
¡°Yes!¡±
With a wave of his hand, Bruce Hodge dismissed his subordinates, then snapped his fingers casually.
The original in room instantly transformed.
The whole room became luxurious.
What was more bewildering was that the chair in which Bruce Hodge was sitting, which at first nce seemed ordinary, suddenly transformed into a soft chair made from the connected bodies of two beautiful, humiliated women.
Bruce Hodge murmured, ¡°Ennis, don¡¯t me me. I don¡¯t want to take action against you. After all, you were kind to me.
But, what can I do?
The old man is already gone, and no one is left to protect you guys. Even if I don¡¯t take action, someone else will. We are all brothers, and with your generosity, I believe you won¡¯t mind offering your life for my advancement, right?¡±
Spring City, outskirts.
Dean McKenzie looked disbelievingly at Breanna Holt who was shot by him.
¡°I just fired casually, how did she fall down?
Could it be that she saw I used Bone Fang, considered it a basic skill, and carelessly didn¡¯t dodge?¡±
¡°Forget it, regardless, this oue is good.
Dean McKenzie quickly took the opportunity to open the Gate of Bone, intending to send Anthony in.
But to Dean McKenzie¡¯s surprise, this simple action for him could not bepleted.
Every time he wanted to send Anthony in, the Gate of Bone would copse.
-Why is this happening? This has never happened before?
Forget it, now is not the time for research, let¡¯s carry Anthony and leave!¡±
Dean McKenzie said as he picked up Anthony who was lying on the ground.
To his surprise, Anthony was quite heavy. Dean McKenzie, with his 5.4 Strength, wasn¡¯t able to lift him, and was about to call Doggy Two over to carry Anthony.
just then, the trees on the side rustled and a somewhat skinny white pony ran
out.
Dean McKenzie found the horse familiar when he saw it.
¡°This horse, I think I¡¯ve ridden it before!
It¡¯s Anthony¡¯s!¡±
Almost at the same time that Dean McKenzie recognized it, the little mare pushed Dean McKenzie away, bit carefully onto Anthony and ced him directly onto her back.
Seeing the gentle movements of the little mare and the not-so-wide butfortable back that he had ridden on before, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel envious.
After all, the ones he usually rides on, whether it¡¯s Doggy Two or Doggy Eight, are all ufortable for him.
¡°I wonder when I can have my own little mare!
While envying, Dean McKenzie turned his head and took another shot at
Breanna Holt¡¯s corpse.
[You¡¯ve sessfully extracted from [Breanna Holt], you¡¯ve obtained one piece of [Rare Temte], gained 5 Strength, 5 Agility!]
After finishing all this and seeing Breanna Holt¡¯s corpse, Dean McKenzie started to hesitate.
He was unsure whether to loot the corpse or destroy the body.
Especially considering Breanna Holt¡¯s identity seems to be not ordinary; she was also part of the Professional Alliance.
¡°Forget it. I¡¯m only a One-turn Developer now and don¡¯t know much about the Alliance¡¯s power. It¡¯s best not to do too much.
After all, I killed her to save Anthony, and it was absolutely act of self-defense. There¡¯s no need to do anything extra. If things go wrong, I might make things worse instead.
So, all I have to do is protect Anthony!¡±
Anthony still gives Dean McKenzie a sense of security.
As long as Anthony wakes up, Dean McKenzie believes he can solve everything. Then, Dean McKenzie turned his head to look at Anthony and instantly became dumbfounded.
¡°Hold up, where is my Anthony? The Anthony that I just put here? just in the moment that Dean McKenzie was distracted, the little mare ran away carrying Anthony.
She was so quick that when Dean McKenzie turned around, he could only see her figure disappearing into the distance.
¡°Damn it, don¡¯t run, little mare! I haven¡¯t gotten on yet!
Wait¡¡±
Before Dean McKenzie had even finished his sentence, the little mare came back again.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie was overjoyed. He was about to mount her but the little mare bit Dean McKenzie¡¯s clothes.. After giving a snort, she turned around and bolted back towards Spring City with Dean McKenzie in tow!

Chapter 106:106 earnings, talent upgrade
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie was nipped by the little mare and brought all the way back to Spring City.
After returning to Spring City, the little mare expertly delivered Ennis Hawkins to the Medical Center of the Professional Alliance.
Then, Dean McKenzie saw the entire medical center buzz with activity as Hawkins arrived.
The head of the Medical Center personally handled the treatment.
At the same time, all the staff and patients in the Medical Center also surrounded Hawkins when they learned he had been admitted.
Dean could tell that these people genuinely cared about Hawkins; they held him in awe.
They would gather around but wouldn¡¯t dare to get too close, for fear of disturbing the doctor¡¯s treatment.
As such, those who had apanied Hawkins turned their attention to Dean, and he was soon surrounded.
They all began to question him about Hawkins¡¯ condition.
He had never faced a situation like this before, and being questioned made his head spin.
Most regrettably, the things they were asking, Dean couldn¡¯t just blurt out.
After all, he couldn¡¯t go around dering he had killed Breanna Holt to save Hawkins, could he?
Could he?
Thus, Dean could only answer vaguely.
However, many of the people in the Medical Center were elites of the Professional Alliance, with several from the Law Enforcement Team. They could quickly tell that Dean¡¯s evasive answers were hiding something.
As a result, their questioning gradually began to resemble an interrogation.
It wasn¡¯t until Anson Harris and others returned that Dean was finally off the hook.
Dean was led out of the medical center by Anson Harris.
Along the way, Anson Harris asked: ¡°We found Breanna Holt¡¯s body on the way back. She was killed by a prating wound to the eye. Did you do it?¡±
Startled, Dean hesitated before eventually nodding.
¡°When I came out of the Trial of the Demon Box, I saw her attacking Hawkins, so I intervened.
I didn¡¯t expect to kill her in one hit¡¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry; we have evidence that she was one of the instigators of this incident. Far frommitting a crime, you¡¯ve done a service by killing her. Once Hawkins wakes up, we can expedite yourmendation!¡±
Anson Harris¡¯s words greatly reassured Dean.
Simultaneously, Dean couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°How is Hawkins doing?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about him, the problem with Hawkins isn¡¯t significant.
His level suddenly soared from level 80 to too, and the drastic rise enhanced his body enormously.
But at the same time, he seems to have cast a big spell, and his body is in an extremely weak state.
He fell into aa because his body is severely drained.
As long as enough energy is replenished, he will wake up!¡±
¡°Oh good, good!¡±
This news immensely relieved Dean.
Anson Harris then arranged temporary amodation for Dean.
¡°This matter may not be over yet, so stay here for a few days.
Meals will be delivered to you, and you don¡¯t have to worry about safety. This is the highest-level safe house in Spring City and is considered the safest ce in the whole city.
Rest well, and if there is anything you need, you can contact the staff here, they will help you resolve your issues. I have to go, I have some matters to attend to!¡±
¡°Take care!¡±
Dean bid farewell to Anson Harris and then entered the residence Anson Harris had arranged for him.
Surprisingly, the amodation Anson Harris arranged was quite spacious.
The ce was around one to two hundred square meters, arranged into a two-bedroom, one-living roomyout.
There was no kitchen.
Furthermore, the two rooms were not both bedrooms; one was a bedroom, the other was a private training room.
When Dean entered the bedroom, his system notifications refreshed automatically.
[You have entered [Professional Alliance D-ss Safe House ¨C Bedroom], you have triggered the Bedroom¡¯s BUFF!]
[Bedroom BUFF: While in the bedroom, sleep quality is improved by fifty percent, recovery effect is increased by fifty percent!]
Seeing the system notification in front of him, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up.
A room with attributes? This was his first timeing across such a thing.
Dean hurriedly checked the other room.
[You have entered [Professional Alliance D-ss Safe House ¨C Training Room], you have triggered the Training Room BUFF!]
[Training Room BUFF: While in the training room, concentration is improved by fifty percent, insight is increased by fifty percent]
As the system notification refreshed, Dean distinctly felt a significant difference in his state of mind and body aspared to usual.
He felt energetic and lively.
Dean believed that if he practiced his skills in this state, his proficiency would skyrocket.
¡°This house is pretty good!
If only I could have a house like this!¡±
As soon as Dean said this, he couldn¡¯t help but p himself.
¡°No, no, I have to stay clear-headed, I can¡¯t let myself feel envious.
It took me great effort to transmigrate once, I can¡¯t be envying home-owners and end up bing a mortgage ve again!¡±
Although, he said this, Dean couldn¡¯t help but take a walk around the entire house.
The more he looked around, the more satisfactory the house became to him.
He grew more and more envious.
This house, from the interior design to the attribute buffs, everything struck a chord with Dean.
Even the price seemed reasonable to Dean.
For a two-hundred-square-meter house like this, all it cost was around 200 Gold Coins.
Who wouldn¡¯t love a luxurious house with attributes like this for just twenty million?
However, once Dean saw the monthly property management and energy fees of 10 gold, he suddenly lost interest.
Finally, his attention shifted from the house to other matters.
As soon as Dean opened the Gate of Bone, he returned to the Land of Bone.
The moment he returned to the Land of Bone, he saw Doggy Two directing arge group of skeletons, moving the massive Bone Throne from the third wave.
Two to three hundred skeletons were crowded there, straining hard, but didn¡¯t manage to move the Bone Throne very far.
¡°Doggy Two, what are you doing?¡±
Dean McKenzie asked curiously.
Upon hearing Dean¡¯s voice, Doggy Two shivered, his Pupil Fire flickered, and his skull subconsciously turned to the side, appearing somewhat guilty.
Anthony, on the other hand, appeared almost immediately beside Dean, frantically waving his skeleton hands, as if snitching on Doggy Two.
Dean watched for a long time but couldn¡¯t understand, mainly because Anthony¡¯s actions were too fast.
Desperate, Anthony pointed at the giant Bone Throne and then at Doggy Two¡¯s smaller one. He was almost ready to speak.
Only then did Dean understand.
¡°Doggy Two wants to merge the two Bone Thrones together?¡±
¡°ck ck¡±
Anthony¡¯s skull nodded furiously, the Pupil Fire showing relief, ¡®finally, my daft owner gets it.¡¯
Over there, Doggy Two was looking up at the sky, asionally sneaking nces at Dean. Upon making eye contact, he quickly looked away, like a child caught doing mischief.
Rather than ming Doggy Two, Dean offered a suggestion: ¡°If you can¡¯t move this big one, why can¡¯t you move that smaller one over here?¡±
Upon hearing this, Doggy Two¡¯s skeleton shook, its Pupil Fire suddenly brightening when it turned to look at Dean.
Filled with the shock of ¡®I had never considered this.¡¯
Then came the boundless admiration for Dean.
At this moment, Doggy Two believed Dean to be the smartest skeleton in the world.
Then, Doggy Two carefully lifted its beloved mini Bone Throne.
Despite being a mini Bone Throne, Doggy Two still had to struggle to lift it.
It was swaying and looked like it was struggling.
But Doggy Two didn¡¯t want other skeletons to help. It seemed not to like other skeletons touching its throne, so it carried it alone.
Meanwhile, at Dean¡¯s side.
Although he guessed that cing the two thrones together might cause some unexpected changes, Dean didn¡¯t urge Doggy Two.
If it wanted to do it itself, then let it do.
Dean took this opportunity to take inventory of his loot.
He hadn¡¯t yet opened the loot dropped by the Netherworld Skeleton Knight earlier.
Dean began by opening these loot points first.
[You have opened 5 loot points! ]
[You have obtained 50 Gold Coins]
[You have obtained the items [Skeleton Knight Temte] and [Netherworld Skeleton Knight Summoning Order]]
[You have received the [Skeleton Horse Seed]]
[You have obtained the Skill Book for the Second-Level Skill [Bone Resistance]]
Name: Skeleton Knight Temte
Usage Requirements: Skeleton Warrior Level 41, One Skeleton Horse
Name: Netherworld Skeleton Knight Summoning Order
Description: You can summon a Level 3 Netherworld Skeleton Knight to assist you in battle for 30 minutes

Skill: Bone Resistance
Learning Requirements: Necromancer/Wraith Mage (Level 41)
Skill Effect: Able to repel approaching enemies and inflict heavy damage on them.
Looking at the properties of these four items, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up.
All four were valuable: one could summon a Level 3batant, two could create a skeleton knight, and thest was a skill specifically for Dean.
Not only could Dean learn it, but this skill could also make up for theck in hisbat system. Once learned, Dean would no longer fear close-quartersbat.
The only issue was that the skill was for Level 2, and Dean was currently only Level 35!
¡°The issue isn¡¯t significant; I¡¯m not far from reaching Level 2 myself, and I will be able to learn the skill soon.
First things first, let¡¯s get my talent level up!¡±
As he spoke, Dean took out the Talent Stone.
Once Dean got the Talent Stone, an upgrade option appeared in his Attribute tab.
With a light tap, the system notification refreshed.
[Your Talent Rank has increased, now at 3!]
[You have received an additional Talent Grant Quota, currently remaining: 2!]
Dean quickly opened his Talent Stats.
Talent: Extract

Looking at this attribute, Dean couldn¡¯t help butin: ¡°This attribute is as in and straightforward as always!
Is it going to cost them to write an extra word?
Why can¡¯t they give more detailed exnations?¡±

Chapter 107 - 107:107 Doggy Two Evolution
Chapter 107:107 Doggy Two Evolution
Trantor: 549690339
Land of Bone.
After upgrading his talent, Dean McKenzie had to experiment a bit due to the vague information in the talent description.
By sacrificing some freshly birthed skeletons and the surviving ordinary quality skeletons within the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie enhanced Doggy Two¡¯s attributes once more.
Doggy Two¡¯s attributes which had been originally: Strength: 33.7, Agility: 280.7, Physique: 31.5, Spirit: 15,
were enhanced to: Strength: 53.7, Agility: 375.7, Physique: 51.5, Spirit: 15,
a total increase of 135 attribute points.
This enhancement of Doggy Two also allowed Dean McKenzie to understand the limit of attribute enhancement after the talent reached level 3.
At level 3, the Ordinary Temte goes up by to levels and 15 points, the Elite Temte by 10 levels and 30 points, and the Excellent Temte by 10 levels and 45 points.
¡°In other words, my agility can still increase by another 90 points, and as for the spirit attribute, since I didn¡¯t add anything at levels 21 and 31, plus the 15 points less at levels 10 and 20,1 can still enhance it by another 120 points?¡± doing the math, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but get excited.
He immediately used the remaining attribute points from Doggy Two, raising his own agility from 178.9 to 268.9.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but sprint into the wind. The speed was incredibly fast.
However, Dean McKenzie felt a bit dizzy and his heart was racing.
While my speed has increased, it feels out of control, like a small kid driving a big car.
The reason should be that the strength and physique attributes, especially the strength attribute, are not keeping up.
But it¡¯s okay, the Invisible Shield feature of the Bone Shield is still there, and I can barely control it.
Going forward, I might really need to consider adding strength attribute points.
If everything fails, don¡¯t 1 still have 100 free attribute points?
Why not use them on strength?¡±
While Dean McKenzie was pondering whether to add some strength attribute points,
on the other side, Doggy Two, after strenuous efforts, finally moved its Bone Throne next to Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Throne.
Doggy Two excitedly climbed onto it, leaving a space open and eagerly beckoned for Dean McKenzie to share the throne with him.
Before Dean McKenzie had gone over, a system prompt refreshed in front of him,pletely interrupting his thoughts on whether to add strength attribute points.
[Your Wraith Servant requests to merge its Bone Throne with your Bone Throne. Please allow!]
¡°Allow, allow!¡±
Of course, this was a good thing. Why would Dean McKenzie refuse?
And with Dean McKenzie¡¯s nod of eptance, the previously beckoning Doggy Two stopped and sat solemnly on the Bone Throne.
Simultaneously, Doggy Two¡¯s skill [Bone King] was activated, targeting the huge Bone Throne opposite.
¡°Crack!¡±
Shockingly, after Doggy Two¡¯s invisible [Bone King] was activated, it was as if a giant hammer had struck the huge Bone Throne, causing cracks to appear on it.
Doggy Two continued relentlessly, one [Bone King] skill after another smashing into it.
Soon, after the 10th hit, the huge Bone Throne shattered with a loud bang.
Immediately afterward, the massive Bone Throne, leaving a bronze box on the ground, transformed into a torrent of bone that flooded into Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne.
With the influx of the torrent of bones, Doggy Two and his Bone Throne were enveloped in greyish light.
Dean McKenzie could clearly feel that within that radiance, his connection with Doggy Two was deepening and Doggy Two¡¯s soul was also rapidly growing during this process.
This process continued for half an hour.
After half an hour, a mighty momentum burst from the gray cocoon, shattering the entire gray cocoon.
The system prompt also refreshed at this moment.
[Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two, has sessfully devoured the Mysterious Bone Throne. His Bone Throne¡¯s quality has increased, and Doggy Two¡¯s temte is also upgraded to evolve into ¡°Uncrowned False Bone King¡±]
As the system prompt refreshed, the figure of the newly evolved Doggy Two appeared.
The Bone Throne behind him seemed to have be more mysterious.
More importantly, it was Doggy Two himself.
During this round of evolution, a phantom image of a Bone Crown appeared on its head, giving the usually adorable Doggy Two a majestic air, quite befitting of a Bone King.
The only problem was, this little guy couldn¡¯t hold his excitement for more than three seconds.
As soon as he saw Dean McKenzie watching him, he dashed over, holding his Bone Crown, eager to share his joy with his owner.
However, as soon as he ran out of the 10-meter radius of the Bone Throne, the phantom crown in his hand instantly disappeared.
Which left Doggy Twopletely dumbfounded with a nk look on his face, the fire in his pupils full of surprise and confusion.
During this time, Dean McKenzie opened Doggy Two¡¯s attribute panel to take a look.
Name: Uncrowned False Bone King (Doggy Two),
Level: 41,
Temte: Excellent.
Lord Trait: Bone King (Grade D) (Passively increases the experience gain of skeletons under hismand by 25%. When activated, it increases the attributes of units within too meters by 25%)
(Lasts half an hour, can be used once a day)
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 263.6 (80), Agility: 88.9, Physique: 50.9, Spirit: 50.9
Attack: 264.6 (80)
Defense: 50.6
Spirit Power: 1530
Skills: Bone King (Level 3) (Enhanced) (Special skill, triggered with the Bone Throne. When this skill is activated, bone-rted undead within the range of the Bone Throne, as long as their level doesn¡¯t exceed level 41 and their temte quality doesn¡¯t exceed Excellent, will bow down in submission. He has the power of life and death over them!)
(Without the Bone Throne, it can throw enemies into confusion for 5 seconds.
PS: It doubles its effect on bone-rted undead! Also, it amplifies the damage of the next skill attack by three times)
Charge (Level 5), Defense Stance (Level 5), Heavy Strike (level 5)
One-turn skill: Bone Cross Chop (Level 2)
Second-turn: Bone Eruption (Level 1)
Equipment: Bone Sword (Level 40) (Silver) (Strength +80, Attack +80)
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t expect that Doggy Two would seize this opportunity to advance from the Elite Temte to the Excellent Temte.
His strength had massively soared.
The trait and skill of[Bone King]had been significantly improved, not only raised to level 3, but they were also enhanced.
The remaining skill levels also saw varying degrees of improvement.
At this point, Doggy Two¡¯s attributes had far surpassed those of the level 50 Excellent Pighead n Centurion he encountered in the Goblin Uprising Instance.
And this wasn¡¯t even the full merge of the two Bone Thrones.
With the improvement of Doggy Two¡¯s quality, the attributes he could bestow had increased again.
At level 41, there are five level 10s, each level 10 contributing 15 points, giving a total of 75 points.
Another thing.
Dean McKenzie noticed that Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne had also changed. When Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell on the Bone Throne, he found that he could see its attributes.
Equipment: Bone Throne
Quality: Silver
Equipment Requirements: Exclusive to Doggy Two
Effect 1: Throne Descends (The Bone Throne can be summoned to a particr area, increasing Doggy Two¡¯s attributes by fifty percent within a 100-unit range, with a duration of 30 minutes)
Effect 2: King¡¯s Crown (Within a 10-meter area, Doggy Two will receive the Bone Crown. The crown will block one lethal damage for Doggy Two)
Looking at these attributes of the Bone Throne, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel a hint of jealousy.
¡°Damn, how can it be so overpowered?
So with this throne and Doggy Two¡¯s trait, he could increase his attributes by up to seventy-five percent at once?
Plus a Bone Eruption, could instantly double that?
And there¡¯s also an effect that can prevent death.
Damn it, who is the owner here, me or him?
Why don¡¯t I have such equipment?¡±
Looking at Doggy Two¡¯s equipment and then at his own, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit imbnced.
As one of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Servants, Doggy Two could sense Dean McKenzie¡¯s emotions.
Doggy Two sensed Dean McKenzie¡¯s envy towards the Bone Throne.
Then this stingy little skeleton, who didn¡¯t like other skeletons touching his throne, hurried in front of Dean McKenzie, enthusiastically inviting Dean McKenzie to sit on his throne.
After sensing that Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t seem satisfied after sitting on his throne and even seemed a bit disappointed, Doggy Two became anxious and didn¡¯t know where to put his hands (bones).
At this moment, Old Eight came over with the [Bronze Box] left from the brokenrge Bone Throne.
Old Eight, who rebels against everything, didn¡¯t regard Doggy Two as its king at all.
What king? In Old Eight¡¯s eyes, only the owner existed.
So, Old Eight directly pushed Doggy Two away and offered the [Bronze Box] to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Good job!¡±
This Bronze Box did soothe Dean McKenzie¡¯s feelings to some extent, so he readily gave Old Eight praise.
With the approval from Dean McKenzie, the Pupil Fire in Old Eight¡¯s eyes leaped up excitedly.
However, Old Eight didn¡¯t notice at all that the gaze of Doggy Two beside him was a bit weird.
It didn¡¯t realize the seriousness of the situation.
Doggy Two, after his evolution, had be smarter than before, and he had also learned to hold grudges.
At this moment, he had remembered this grudge.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention was all on the [Bronze Box] now, and he quickly opened it.
[You have opened a [Bronze Box] and received the book inheritance [Architecture, From Beginning to Death]!]
¡°What the hell is this?¡±
Dean McKenzie was dumbfounded.
At the same time, the Bronze Box disappeared, and a dozen solid brick-like books appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
Dean McKenzie took a look at the titles of these dozen books and they didn¡¯t seem as dark as the one above. All werebelled [Architecture Basics] from 1 to 15-
Dean McKenzie opened it for a look, and the system prompt refreshed.
[You havee into contact with the [Architectural Heritage], activating the [Architectural Talent]!]
¡°Architectural Talent?¡±
Dean McKenzie immediately thought of the Safe House he had just moved into.
¡°Wait a second, if I can be an architect and build those buildings with attributes, that seems quite good too.
In this world, being a real estate developer should be pretty profitable, right?
Plus, I can build myself arge vi in the Land of Bone.
No, think bigger. Since I can build, why settle for a vi when I can build a grand manor!
Perfect, I have tons of freebor at my disposal.¡±
While fantasizing about his future as an architect, Dean McKenzie got excited.
He started flipping through the books.
Because Dean McKenzie was reading the very basic entry-level books, the content was very easy to understand. Even someone like Dean McKenzie without a foundation could get the gist of it at first nce.
¡°Feels like it¡¯s pretty straightforward!
So building a house isn¡¯t that hard!
Or could it be that I¡¯m a genius in architecture, so I pick it up quickly?
With this talent, I can¡¯t let it go to waste!
Right, architecture is something that needs a lot of practice. I¡¯ll start with a small practice build!¡±
Saying that, Dean McKenzie left the Land of Bone, ready to contact the staff and ask them to help him buy some basic building materials and tools.
As soon as Dean McKenzie left the Land of Bone, Doggy Two immediately turned his gaze to Old Eight and slowly moved towards it.
Old Eight felt something was off right away and instinctively wanted to activate [Strong Stealth].
But Doggy Two was quicker, taking the first move to unleash [Bone King]..
Chapter 108 - 108:108 Use Secret Realm Modification Scroll
Chapter 108:108 Use Secret Realm Modification Scroll
Trantor: 549690339
The people working at Safe House are quite professional and efficient.
As professionals, they didn¡¯t even ask Dean McKenzie what he needed the building materials and tools for.
In less than an hour, they delivered to Dean three full sets of the mostmon building tools on the market.
As well as the mostmonly used construction materials.
Of course, Dean had to pay for all the items.
But since he only bought basic materials and tools, everything was rtively cheap, costing only 1 gold coin.
After the goods arrived, Dean immediately opened the Gate of Bone, preparing to call Doggy Two and the others out to move the stuff.
But as Dean opened the door, he saw Doggy Two ying with Old Eight!
Yeah, ying with Old Eight.
The serious kind.
In Doggy Two¡¯s hands, Old Eight had turned into a skeleton jigsaw, with bones from all over his body basically dismantled.
When Dean opened the door, Doggy Two was ying with Old Eight¡¯s skull.
The sudden door opening startled Doggy Two, who hastily threw away Old Eight¡¯s skull and started staring at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
He looked innocent.
Poor Old Eight¡¯s scattered skeletal body trembled in anger.
His discarded skull was opening and closing its mouth furiously. Although it couldn¡¯t make any sound, Dean could still tell that Old Eight was cursing Doggy Two.
Probably in rather coarsenguage.
Despite that, Dean noted that Old Eight seemed in good spirits.
Even though his bones had been nearly dismantled, he still felt full of life.
This gave Dean a better understanding of the vitality of these skeletons under hismand.
¡°It seems that as long as their Soul me remains undamaged, there¡¯s not much to worry about. Of course, it could also be due to Doggy Two¡¯s skillful hands.
Doggy Two, stop staring and quickly assemble Old Eight back together!¡±
After Dean spoke up, Doggy Two started reassembling the scattered bones of Old Eight. Within five minutes, apletely renewed Old Eight stood up again.
As soon as Old Eight was assembled, it activated the skill [Strong Stealth] and hid in Dean¡¯s shadow, refusing toe out.
Obviously, he was traumatized by Doggy Two.
Being their owner, Dean was all smiles watching these two interact.
Despite instructing Doggy Two to assemble Old Eight, he didn¡¯t scold Doggy Two for bullying Old Eight.
Seeing Old Eight hiding, he had no intention of forcing Old Eight out.
As for his Little skeletons, as long as they obeyed, Dean was prettyx on other matters.
After all, they didn¡¯t have to go to school or work, no need for him to instill any kind of life values or beliefs in them.
After the drama, Dean threw himself into his architect¡¯s work.
While having Doggy Two and the team bring in the building tools and materials, he was pondering on what he wanted to build for practice.
¡°Though building seems simple, I¡¯ve never done it before, so I should start with a simple structure.
Let¡¯s start with a house.¡±
With that said, Dean got to work.
Following the transcribed instructions, he began to build the house.
The instructions were very detailed, and Dean understood them well, so he remembered all the steps and procedures.
However, when Dean actually started the building process.
It was a total mess!
Despite thinking he had mastered the supposedly simple tasks, Dean¡¯s work was a disaster.
With no other option, Dean had to lower his standards.
Building a house, changed to building a kitchen.
Then it switched to building a toilet.
In the end, Dean could only attempt to build a wall.
This time, Dean managed to build the wall, but despite being just three-meters tall, it was nted 45 degrees. And when Dean leaned on it slightly, the wall copsed.
This frustrated Dean to no end.
¡°I didn¡¯t cross over to be a construction worker.
If I wanted to be a construction worker, why would I bother crossing over? I could just find a job at a construction site back home!
Why do I have to build my own house? Can¡¯t I just buy one?
If I can¡¯t afford one, there are plenty of enemy houses in the game¡¯s map. It¡¯d be easier to loot one and live there!¡±
Well,fort in self-deception never fades.
Before long, Dean already convinced himself.
Throwing down his construction tools, Dean went on to study the [Secret Realm Crystal] and [Secret Realm Modification Scroll] he had obtained from clearing the dungeon.
However, the tools Dean abandoned weren¡¯t idled.
Just as Dean left, a skeleton approached, its eyes glowing with a ¡®click-click¡¯ sound. It picked up the abandoned tools along with the [Architecture Basics] (1) from the ground, and began to study them.
On the other side, Dean opened the [Secret Realm Modification Scroll],
As the scroll was unrolled, a system prompt shed before Dean¡¯s eyes.
[You have opened the [Secret Realm Modification Scroll], please choose the modification direction.
Environment, Rules!]
¡°Environment? Rules?¡±
Staring at the two modification options that popped up, Dean was a bit startled.
As he focused on them, more detailed information about these two options surfaced.
The environment refers to the geographicalndscape of the Secret Realm. Dean could expand the size of the realm, introducing mountains, seas, etc.
Andpared to the environment, rules could be more terrifying.
If he were to alter the rules, Dean McKenzie could add a BUFF to the Land of Bone.
Be it elerating recovery, increasing skill proficiency gain, or even altering time flow of Land of Bone and the outside world ¨C all are achievable.
Seeing this made Dean¡¯s eyes sparkle.
He admitted, he was moved.
And then, his excitement plummeted.
Because the minimum requirement for altering the rules was 10 Secret Realm Crystals, and he only had one.
Hence, altering the rules was out of the question. Dean could only tum his attention to modifying his surroundings.
But what improvements could Dean make to the surroundings?
From the start, Dean had already decided his direction for enhancement.
He would add a water source in the Secret Realm.
But when Dean attempted this enhancement, he realized that his single Secret Realm Crystal could only achieve so much.
At most, he could only add a small Spring Eye.
With no other options, Dean activated the small Spring Eye.
Upon use of the scroll, a small Spring Eye appeared at the location designated by Dean. The eye had a diameter of about five centimeters and was bordered by green stones.
As soon as it appeared, clear spring water began gushing forth unceasingly from within the eye.
Dean frowned at the small spring eye, questioning who would find such a tiny spring to be of any use.
Who exactly could use it?
At this moment, a system notification refreshed.
[You have used a [Secret Realm Modification Scroll], you have consumed one Secret Realm Crystal, and your Land of Bone has gained a[Spring Eye](Level 1)!]
[Your Secret Realm territory has gained a[Spring Eye](Level 1), and Spirit has obtained the trait [Level 1 Mana Recovery]!]
Upon the refresh of these two system notifications,
Dean discovered a new BUFF in his attribute panel ¨C [Level 1 Mana Recovery], which allowed him to recover 1 Mana point every five minutes.
This small amount of Mana recovery was better than nothing at all for Dean at the moment.
For one, he had over three thousand Mana points to begin with.
Secondly, the natural regeneration rate for Mana was roughly about one-twentieth of one¡¯s total Spirit power.
Given Dean¡¯s current Spiritual Power, he could recover 10 points per minute.
This BUFF was only one of the additional effects from the spring eye,
and even that was the lowest of the additional effects on offer.
But when Dean focused on the small spring eye, which he had initially scoffed at, his eyes narrowed.
Name: Pure Spring Eye
Level: 1
Description: Able to continuously generate Pure Spring Water.
Name: Pure Spring Water
Level: 1
Description: Consumption of this water can slowly heal injuries and restore Mana.
(The healing effect is valid for those with a Physique value below 5. Consuming too ml of spring water can restore 60 Mana points per minute)
Isn¡¯t this spring water the same Pure Spring Water that Dean McKenzie had drunk to excess at the Rotting Corpse in?
Dean was surprised that one day, his home could produce this type of spring water unceasingly.
Wait, am I able to sell this spring water?
Although its effects aren¡¯t as good as the small blue bottle, it should still have some value.
Selling 200 ml for a silver coin shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?
Upon thinking of this, Dean¡¯s way of looking at the spring eye changed. What it was producing was no longer water, but a continuous flow of money.
Although Dean had plenty of gold coins ¨C 180 to be exact, after experiencing a dungeon level ¨C who wouldin about having too much money?
Especially Dean, who needed money to activate his Talent, he would never say no to more money.
As such, Dean began to research the spring eye more eagerly.
He studied the output of the spring eye, whether the water¡¯s effects could be preserved after leaving the spring eye,
along with the most crucial question: how long this spring eye could sustain Dean¡¯s [Meditative State].
Dean soon found his answers.
The output of the Spring Eye was notrge, with only about 500 ml per minute.
Once the spring water left the spring eye, its effects would start to dissipate, but if conserved well, it can be preserved for a long period of time.
This thrilled Dean as this meant the realization of mizing the spring water was possible.
500 ml per minute equates to 720,000 ml over 24 hours.
If he really was able to sell 200 ml for a silver coin,
Dean could earn a profit of 36 gold coins every day without lifting a finger.
Furthermore, there was Dean¡¯s [Meditation Skill ¨C Perception State].
Once the spring eye emerged, Dean¡¯s [Perception State] automatically activated.
Due to Dean¡¯s full Mana state, he didn¡¯t consume any spring water. He specifically tried conserving the water for an hour to give it a test.
Finally, he concluded that about an hour of conserved water was enough to sustain twenty minutes of Dean¡¯s full-powered Perception State.
It could restore 24,000 of Dean¡¯s Mana.
This was five to six thousand more Mana than what Dean would get from direct drinking.
This practically allowed Dean to use his Mana freely.
However, Dean did feel some pain in his heart at the thought of every minute spent in this state equating to wasting ten silver coins worth of Pure Spring Water..
Chapter 109 - 109:109 Rare Profession Template-Necromancer
Chapter 109:109 Rare Profession Temte-Necromancer
Trantor: 549690339 I
Spring City, Safe House
In the blink of an eye, Dean McKenzie had lived in the safe house for five days.
In these five days, most of Dean McKenzie¡¯s time was spent in the ¡°Training Room¡±.
In the ¡°Training Room¡±, Dean McKenzie did two things.
One was reading, and the other was practicing skills.
For the books, Dean McKenzie was reading the ¡°Necromancer Book Inheritance¡± given to him by the Pighead n Princess.
Previously in the dungeon, Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯tpletely finished studying this set of books.
Now, using the buff of the ¡°Training Room¡± that enhanced concentration, Dean McKenzie meticulously went through the ¡°Necromancer Book Inheritance¡± twice in five days, and finally managed to thoroughly understand it.
While understanding this set thoroughly, Dean McKenzie also sessfully brushed up on the inheritance progression of his profession, ¡°Necromancer¡±, reaching a hundred percent.
¡°[Your profession temte¡¯s (Necromancer) inheritance progression has been improved to a hundred percent. Afterpleting the Second Turn profession trial, your job temte will officially be the Excellent Necromancer temte!]¡±
¡°[You have activated the Rare profession, the ¡®Necromancer temte¡¯ inheritance progression, the current progress is one percent!]¡±
These were the two system prompts that Dean McKenzie received after his ¡°Necromancer¡± inheritance progression reached a hundred percent.
The gains seemed quiterge.
But they haven¡¯t been actually ounted for yet.
This made Dean McKenzie quite disheartened.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie was busy with more than just these tasks in these five days.
In these five days, Dean McKenzie had also been diligently practicing the Bone Fang, Bone Shield, and Bone Prison skills of the Bone series.
Thanks to Dean McKenzie¡¯s own ¡°Control over Bones¡± trait.
With the BUFF bonus of the ¡°Training Room¡± and the unlimited mana supply after Spring Eye, the ¡°Bone Fang,¡± ¡°Bone Shield,¡± and ¡°Bone Prison¡± skill proficiency greatly soared in these five days.
Especially the Bone Fang skill that Dean McKenzie focused on training, it had been improved to level 5, eighty-nine percent.
The Bone Shield and Bone Prison had also reached level 4, ny-five percent, and level 2, fifty-eight percent, respectively.
Well,pared to the first two skills, the progress of Bone Prison is somewhatgging.
Of course, it can¡¯t be helped. One reason is that Bone Prison consumes a lot, with one shot costing 2500 mana, it is not something Dean McKenzie could afford to waste.
On the other hand, the skill proficiency required for Bone Prison is high. It¡¯s already pretty good for Dean McKenzie to batter it up to fifty-eight percent in five days while also working on other skills.
Moreover, ording to this progress, as long as another day or two, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang and Bone Shield could both level up.
Especially for Bone Fang, as long as Bone Fang reaches level 6, Dean McKenzie can carry out the third enhancement.
In these five days, besides practicing skills and reading books, Dean McKenzie also remembered to go to the Land of Bone every day to help Doggy Two and the others boost their attributes.
In these five days, the skeletons born in the Land of Bone every day were basically used by Dean McKenzie to enhance attributes.
Doggy Two¡¯s attributes were enhanced to: Strength: 303.6 (80), Agility: 98.9, Physique: 60.9, Spirit: 60.9
These attributes are far more abnormal than the ordinary level 60 Second-turn peak entities.
Moreover, with Doggy Two¡¯s full explosion, these attributes could be increased by 1.5 times. Even Dean McKenzie himself found it exaggerated.
Dean McKenzie has now decided to give the second enhancement slot to Doggy Two.
As soon as he finds suitable essence, he will help Doggy Two upgrade the ¡°Bone Eruption¡± or ¡°Bone Throne¡± skills.
In addition to Doggy Two, Shield Warrior Old Four, and Skeleton Archer Old Nine, Dean McKenzie also maxed out their attributes.
As for the remaining skeletons, Dean McKenzie gave up on increasing their points.
Mainly because it¡¯s too expensive.
After level 3 of talents, the cost of adding attribute points seems to have changed. One attribute point now requires three Silver Coins.
Just adding points for Doggy Two and the others cost Dean McKenzie nearly 10 Gold Coins. If he were to fill up the remaining points, Dean McKenzie reckoned he would run out of money.
He and Old Six still have hundreds of spirit points left to add.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie is still nning to enhance his own skills. Over a hundred Gold Coins is simply not enough.
And speaking of Old Six.
It wasn¡¯t until these past few days that Dean McKenzie discovered, after abandoning the architect profession, it was inherited by Old Six.
In the past five days, Old Six did nothing every day but devote himself to reading ¡°Architecture Basics¡±.
He waspletely absorbed in his reading and even practiced as he was reading.
When Dean McKenzie first discovered Old Six¡¯s interest in architecture, he was quite thrilled. He thought that Old Six must have a natural talent for it since he showed a keen interest.
To foster Old Six, Dean McKenzie even lent the ¡°Schr¡¯s Wind¡± ring he had received from Piggy Princess to Old Six.
Just to make sure Old Six could understand the content of ¡°Architecture Basics¡±.
He would asionally check Old Six¡¯s learning progress, even enthusiastically teaching Old Six himself. He put in a lot of effort in nurturing, hoping for Old Six to surprise him and grow up to be an outstanding architect.
As a result, after five days, Dean McKenzie had roughly given up on Old Six.
Old Six really was interested in being an architect, but his talent was genuinelycking.
Old Six didn¡¯t understand the things Dean McKenzie taught him.
He talked for half a day, but Old Six¡¯s Pupil Fire was still full of confusion.
If the theoretical part wasn¡¯t enough, at least the practical part should be, but it wasn¡¯t either.
The wall he¡¯d been building for five days was even worse than the one Dean McKenzie built on the first day.
The only aspect where Old Six was better than Dean McKenzie was his mentality.
After messing around for five days without any progress, he still seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Seeing the silly-looking Old Six, Dean McKenzie felt dispirited.
¡°Sure enough, the expectation that throwing a set of books would grow an architect is nothing but wishful thinking!¡±

¡°Forget it, as long as Old Six is happy!¡±
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t stop it either.
After all, Old Six finally got a hobby, and it didn¡¯t cost much to indulge him.
Who knows, if Old Six really bes an Architect, then wouldn¡¯t Dean
McKenzie¡¯s mansion be possible?
Although Old Six¡¯s current performance made this hope seem somewhat bleak, having it was better than not, wasn¡¯t it?
His eyes moved from Old Six and Dean McKenzie turned off the Land of Bone, contemting whether today he could get Bone Fang to level 6 when someone knocked on his door.
¡°Chairman? Why are you here? And who is this?¡±
Dean McKenzie opened the door to see Anson Harris standing there, along with
a serious-looking man in his thirties with a square face.
¡°Let me introduce you. This is Liam Hawkins,mander of the Thorn Oak
City Rapid Response Team. He personally led the team to rescue Spring City this time!
These past few days, he and his team have thoroughly cleaned up Spring City, both inside and out. After handling all the issues, he immediately went to visit
Ennis, and then came to see you!¡±
¡°Liam, this is Dean McKenzie!¡±
Anson Harris introduced Dean McKenzie and Liam Hawkins to each other.
¡°Nice to meet you, Captain Hawkins!¡±
Although puzzled by Liam Hawkins¡¯ visit, Dean McKenzie gave a polite
greeting.
¡°Hello!¡±
Liam Hawkins looked at the polite Dean McKenzie, a smile appeared on his serious face: ¡°I¡¯ve heard about you. You did very well!
¡°Here, take this as my gift to you!¡±
Liam Hawkins handed a skill book to Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie quickly nced at the book, and the skill¡¯s attributes appeared in his mind.
Skill: Bone Armor (Enhanced)
Learning requirement: Necromancer, Second-turn
Seeing this attribute, Dean McKenzie was stunned.
He looked at Liam Hawkins with confusion.
This was a really generous gift.
Liam Hawkins saw Dean McKenzie¡¯s confusion and exined,
¡°Firstly, Ennis is like a brother to me, and you saving him is like saving me!
Secondly, as you are Ennis¡¯ brother, you¡¯re my brother too. As your elder brother, it¡¯s appropriate for me to give you a gift on our first meeting.
Besides, Necromancer is a rare profession, this skill would be wasted if I don¡¯t give it to you. So, take it!¡±
Saying so, Liam Hawkins pressed the skill book into Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands.
Dean McKenzie tried to refuse a few times, but when he couldn¡¯t refuse anymore, he epted it graciously: ¡°In that case, I¡¯d be rude to refuse it!
¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡±
¡°By the way, I just overheard from the chairman, you just visited Ennis, how is
he now?¡±
Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t heard anything about Ennis Hawkins in five days, and
was quite worried.
As Dean McKenzie brought this up, the faces of both Liam Hawkins and Anson
Harris clouded over.
However, Liam Hawkins still replied, ¡°Ennis has replenished his energy, but he has not woken up yet. It seems his spirit is greatly exhausted, but there should be no problem. His current situation is good and he should wake up in a few days.¡±
¡°Can I go see him?¡±
¡°Well¡¡±
Liam Hawkins looked at Anson Harris, who shook his head, ¡°You can¡¯t for now.
Ennis is undergoing closed treatment, you can¡¯t see him for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie furrowed his brows.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ennis will be fine.¡± Liam Hawkins patted Dean McKenzie¡¯s shoulder reassuringly.
¡°Okay, by the way, look at my forgetfulness, why don¡¯t you twoe in for a chat?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for that. I mainly came to check on you. Now that I¡¯ve seen you, there¡¯s no need to stay. There¡¯s a troublesome guy in Thorn Oak City, and I can¡¯t stay here too long. So, I¡¯ll go back to Thorn Oak City first.
You shoulde find me when you get to Thorn Oak City.
If you¡¯re interested in the Rapid Response Team, I can take you under my wing.
Anson, little McKenzie, I¡¯ll take my leave first!¡±
Saying so, Liam Hawkins blew a whistle with his hand and a huge eaglended beside him. He promptly climbed onto its back, gave a wave to Anson Harris and Dean McKenzie, and then flew away into the sky.
Dean McKenzie and Anson Harris watched as Liam Hawkins disappeared from sight, then finally looked away.
¡°Chairman, do you want toe in?
¡°No need for me either. I still have a lot of work to do and can¡¯t spare a
moment.
Here, take this!¡±
Anson Harris said as he took out a card.
¡°What is this?¡±
¡°This is a temporary key to several secret realms in Spring City¡¯s map. Seeing as Liam already gave you a gift, I, as Ennis¡¯s father figure, also have to give you something for our meeting.
Liam¡¯s Rapid Response Team have alreadybed through the entire Spring
City these past few days, and this incident is almost over, so you¡¯re free to do as you please now.
You¡¯re already at level 35 and not far from level 40, so why not make a dash for it and strive to make your second-turn as soon as possible.
I¡¯ve already prepared the materials you will need for your second-turn, so they¡¯re ready for you anytime!¡±
¡°This ¡±
¡°Take it, when you need to use it, you just have to contact one of the staff members here. They¡¯ll escort you there. I¡¯ll be leaving now!¡±
As soon as Anson Harris finished speaking, he left, leaving Dean McKenzie to stare nkly at the card and books.
¡°This gift was so sudden, I wasn¡¯t prepared for it!
But there was no reason for Dean McKenzie to reject it since it was already given.
Anyway, the giver had already left, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to reject it even if he wanted to.
Dean McKenzie packed up the items and went back to the training room.
Even though he had obtained the key to the secret realms of Spring City, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have any ns to start using it immediately.
Bone Fang skill was already on the verge of hitting level 6, so Dean McKenzie nned to increase Bone Fang to level 6 before going.
If the opportunity is right, he might even strengthen Bone Fang to the third level while leveling up.
Thus, on his return to the training room, Dean McKenzie gave up on upgrading other skills and focused on leveling up Bone Fang.
But sometimes things can be frustrating.
The more you want to quickly get something done, the more problems it seems to present.
The upgrade of the Bone Fang skill was no exception.
When Dean McKenzie focused on conquering this one skill of Bone Fang, it ended up causing problems.
It was stuck at ny-nine percent, just one tiny bit away from leveling up.
It was enough to annoy Dean McKenzie.
¡°Why is it stuck?
Every time I cast a spell, I feel like I have a deeper understanding of Bone Fang and its strength also improves.
Why is the progress still stuck at ny-nine percent?
Is it because my understanding of the skill is incorrect?
In an attempt to proceed with the final step.
Dean McKenzie specifically took out the detailed exnation of the Bone Fang skill from the Necromancer Book Inheritance to read it again and reinterpret this skill.
Dean McKenzie even tried to use Bone in various poses.
Yet, after messing around for two days, the progress bar of Bone Fang remained motionless.
Annoyed, Dean McKenzie went directly to the Land of Bone, turned on his sense state, and unleashed Bone Fang like crazy for half an hour. Unexpectedly, after spending two days immersed in serious study without progress, the system notification refreshed after a bout of crazy output. ¡°Your skill Bone Fang has been upgraded to level 6!¡±
Skill: Bone Fang (Second Enhancement)
Level: 6 (122/500 thousand)
Skill Cost: 50 Mana points
Skill Damage: Spiritual Power multiplied by 2.6 added to 162*4 Attached Trait: Attack Enhancement (level 3) (No changes)
Looking at the suddenly leveled-up Bone Fang, Dean McKenzie had a lot to say, but ultimately only came out with one word.
¡°Damn!¡±
However, despite hisints, seeing the upgraded Bone Fang made Dean McKenzie quite content.
After all, now that the triple enhancement was avable, his damage output could make a significant leap forward.
¡°My expectations aren¡¯t that high, as long as I can increase it to the level of Bone Prison. One hit for more than ten thousand damage, one shot one kill, even a third-turn would be like ughtering a dog!
But, the enhancement of Bone Fang can¡¯t be done casually, I need to find a suitable essence for the Bone Fang, at the very least it has to carry magical damage.
Otherwise, in the face of opponents like Old Eight who can avoid physical damage by hiding in the shadows, I¡¯d be at a loss..¡±
Chapter 111 - 111: 110 Corpse on Fire
Chapter 111: 110 Corpse on Fire
Trantor: 549690339
Spring City, The Secret Realm Map Management Center was located in a building that was over a hundred meters high and covered thousands of square meters.
The building was grand and colossal, but once Dean McKenzie entered, he found that it only had six secret realm maps.
Upon realizing this, Dean couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of absurdity, as if he had gone back to his time before the transit, when he protected his two-digit savings with a six-digit password.
¡°Isn¡¯t this aplete waste ofnd resources?
Oh, never mind, there doesn¡¯t seem to be a shortage ofnd in this world!¡±
Dean muttered, returning his attention to the six maps at the Secret Realm Map Management Center.
All six secret realm maps had been explored thousands and ten thousands of times by yers from Spring City, so the avable information was extremely detailed.
Dean directly ignored the three maps suited for levels lower than 30. Not only were there additional experience points for defeating monsters of higher levels, but also a decrease in experience points for fighting monsters more than five levels lower than himself. Most importantly, Anson Harris had already granted him ess to secret realms above level 30, so Dean saw no point in studying the maps for level 30 and below.
Above level 30, there were three maps.
Demonized Rodent in (Level 30) (A in infested with arge number of demonized rodents, an abundance of elite bosses, the boss being a level 30 Rodent King of Excellent Quality)
Fallen Demon Valley (Level 35) (A valley teeming with fallen demons, and the boss is the Fallen Demon Priest (please note, a boss with a special resurrection skill may appear))
Evil Cave (Level 40) (A cave full of demonized rodents, Fallen Demons, and corpses. The boss is a corpse king with an Excellent Temte at level 40 (It is said that a hidden mode may be triggered))
Dean¡¯s eyes lit up as he read the introductions for these three maps.
¡°A special resurrection skill? What makes this skill special? I¡¯m curious!¡± Saying that, Dean whipped out the Secret Realm Key and entered the Demonized Rodent in first.
While Dean was tempted by the so-called ¡®special resurrection skill¡¯ mentioned in the description, he hadn¡¯t forgotten his main purpose: to level up by defeating monsters.
Plus, even if Dean wanted to do something, he needed to stock up on elite monsters first and foremost.
Therefore, he opted to unlock the Demonized Rodent in map first.
Dean went in¡and then, he came out?
From the moment that Dean opened the map to his emergence from the Demonized Rodent in, the entire process was less than three hours.
In just two hours and thirty-two minutes, Dean had alreadypleted the Demonized Rodent in.
Dean¡¯s level had also risen from 35 to 36.
In reality, the reason it took Dean more than two hours was because he was holding back, trying to send the elite monsters to the Land of Bone.
Had Dean given his all, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to stay in the Demonized Rodent in for two and a half hours.
Twenty minutes would¡¯ve been more than enough!
However, spending these additional two hours was definitely worth it for Dean. During those two hours, Dean had transported 89 level 30 elite demonized rodents, along with the Rodent King of an Excellent Temte based at level 30, from the Demonized Rodent in to his Land of Bone.
Nevertheless, Dean was unsatisfied with the result.
Indeed, he could have earned more.
But due to the high damage from Bone Fang, even the elite rodents, despite Dean¡¯s best efforts to avoid their critical spots, ended up exploding unintentionally due to their frailty, resulting in the idental killing of at least two-thirds of the elite monsters.
Dean felt helpless.
All he could do wasment his own strength and ruefully ept the situation.
Fortunately, he obtained a decent amount of loot.
Having exited the Demonized Rodent in, Dean immediately entered the Fallen Demon Valley.
Hepleted it even faster this time. In just over an hour, Dean had already emerged from Fallen Demon Valley.
However, when he re-appeared, Dean¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t great.
The elite monsters in the Fallen Demon Valley were primarily Fallen Demon Mages, who were even more fragile than the rodents.
But in actuality, the frailty of the Fallen Demons wasn¡¯t entirely their fault. The main problem was that Dean¡¯s output was too fierce. When he first entered, his Spirit was 212.2 in his raw state. Each Bone Fang attack caused as much as 1449-72 damage. And thanks to his Bone Control trait, which amplified his damage by fifty percent, the damage dealt soared to a frightening 2174.5.
The damage inflicted by Bone Fang on a Fallen Demon Mage of one-turn would undeniably result in instant death upon contact.
Even when Dean scattered Bone Fang, each attack still dealt over five hundred damage.
The damage wasn¡¯t low and was difficult to control.
Although Dean had a t A Mana Attacked, its range was too short, it was strenuous to use, and the cost was high.
An hour ofbatter, Dean only managed to send 51 elite Fallen Demons to the Land of Bone on the map.
Fortunately, when it came to thest Excellent Temte Fallen Demon Priest, Dean smartly ordered Doggy Two to take action and captured it.
Moreover, Fallen Demons could drop Spirit points.
After Dean scoured the Valley, he leveled up from 36 to 37. What¡¯s more impressive was the increase in his Spirit from 212 to 335.2 upon entering. His Mana, even in its raw state, broke the 4000 barrier and reached 4754.
But it seems like this creature doesn¡¯t possess the resurrection skill!¡±
Dean frowned as he looked over the Fallen Demon Priest¡¯s attributes.
Name: Fallen Demon Priest
Temte: Excellent
Traits: Enhanced Magic (D) (Increases attack power of magic skills by 25%) Level: 35
Attributes:
Strength: 2, Agility: 10, Physique: 5, Spirit: 142
Magic power output: 213 (100)
Defense: 2.5
Mana: 1420 (1000)
Skill: Fireball (Level 6) (+1)
One-turn Skill: Large Fireball (Level 3) (+1)
Equipment: Fallen Demon Magic Wand (Silver), Fallen Demon Robe (Silver)
Apparently, Dean¡¯s luck was not good, and he did not encounter a boss with a resurrection skill.
Frustrated, Dean entered the map two more times.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s luck was just in awful. After grinding in the Land of Bone three times, he found enough Fallen Demon Priests to assemble a Mahjong set, but not a single boss with a resurrection skill.
Dean wanted to keep grinding, but the staff objected.
Even though he had a temporary card.
But that card should not entitle him to monopolize one map for endless grinding.
The Secret Realm Map Management Center wasn¡¯t just for Dean.
Allowing Dean to grind a map three times was already more than enough, he certainly couldn¡¯t be allowed to continue.
Being a freeloader himself, Dean had no ground to request another round. Therefore, he switched to the Demonized Rodent in and grind it twice, then moved on to the Evil Cave.
Within a day, Dean had grinded each of the three Secret Realm maps three times.
His level increased from 35 to 39.
Of course, the reason he didn¡¯t reach level 40 was mainly due to his own choices.
He had crammed thousands of injured elite monsters and 8 bosses with excellent temtes into his Land of Bone, he would not have reached level 40 if he didn t feed on the majority of the experience.
¡°This is thest one!¡±
The Evil Cave.
Dean gazed at the Corpse King, which he nailed to the ground with a bone spike as soon as the fight started.
He looked somewhat disappointed.
Even though he defeated numerous elites and monsters with excellent temtes, Dean had yet to find a proper essence for upgrading Bone Fang. ¡°If I go by the current conditions, I suppose I can only use the Demonized Rodent with the ¡®Rapid Shot¡¯ trait to enhance Bone Fang.¡± While ¡®Rapid Shot¡¯ isn¡¯t bad, Dean still found itcking. The trait doesn¡¯t grant Bone Fang any attribute output.
But Dean was out of options!
There¡¯s nothing I can do about my lousy luck, neither the Fallen Demons nor the creatures in Evil Cave turned into the rumored hidden mode boss.¡±
¡°This is really frustrating!¡±
Dean muttered, opening the Gate of Bone.
Seeing the gate open, Doggy Two, the skilled hauler, went to transport the Corpse King into the gate.
As Doggy Two approached and was about to make his move, the Corpse King suddenly erupted in a frenzy.
Simultaneously, a mysterious magic circle appeared beneath the Corpse King. As the magic circle lit up, the Corpse King became engulfed in a faint, icy blue me.
Seeing this, Dean was not scared, but thrilled.
Finally, some surprise. Is this the hidden mode of the Evil Cave boss?¡± Just as Dean said this, the Bone Fang embedded in the Corpse King shattered with a crack.
Simultaneously, several magic circles appeared beside it, and five pale-blue corpses crawled out.
Meanwhile, the Corpse King¡¯s rotting skin turned icy blue, and it stood up straight.
Transformationplete!
Dean¡¯s long-unfulfilled Appraisal Skill was immediately cast.
[Your use of the Appraisal Skill was sessful, and you gained the attribute of the Burning Corpse!]

PS: There may be undetected skills.
Looking at the attributes in front of him, Dean had to admit, he was taken aback.
In a pleasantly surprised way!
¡°Great luck, this will settle Bone Fang¡¯s upgrade!¡±
As he spoke, Dean waved his hand, and a Bone Fang shot directly at the Burning Corpse, blowing its head right off.
This poor boss had barely made a show of its magnificence before falling.
The remaining five minions also perished with it..
Chapter 112 - 112: ill Bone Fang Trio
Chapter 112: ill Bone Fang Trio
Trantor: 549690339
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s current strength, any monster below the third-turn level is fair game for him to ughter.
A first-turn Rare Temte like the Corpse Witch Belt sure has powerful abilities, but in the face of Dean, it¡¯s no different from standard riff-raff.
After ying the Corpse Witch Belt, Dean brought it and its five followers into the Land of Bone.
Upon entering, Dean found himself in a chaotic Land of Bone.
It couldn¡¯t be helped, these past two to three days, Dean stuffed a thousand monsters into the Land of Bone.
A thousand monsters, most of which had been seriously wounded by Dean, but that didn¡¯t mean they won¡¯t try to stir up trouble, right?
After all, these monsters are level 30 elites or even Excellent Temtes. While Dean inflicted damaging blows, he still had to be in control so they wouldn¡¯t die, leaving him some reserves, which meant some monsters still had some strength left.
Furthermore, with the monster headcount reaching a thousand and Dean not allowing Doggy Two and his crew to kill them off, it led to a disorderly state in the Land of Bone over the past two to three days.
The most frustrated one had to be Old Six.
The arrival of these monsters severely disrupted its training regimen.
Times it tried, it managed to build a neat wall, only for it to be pushed down by this bunch of monsters. A lot of building materials were also swept away.
As a result, when Dean came in, he saw an infuriated Old Six, and Doggy Two desperately holding Old Six back from attacking.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with Old Six?
Oh, the wall got pushed down? Calm down, you can just rebuild it, it¡¯s not like your initial work was great.
Damn, my spring water turned out to be in this condition?
You filthy creatures, die for me!¡±
Dean was rather rxed initially, but when he saw his spring water, which he had gathered for several days nning to sell, messed up by that bunch of monsters with blood and filth everywhere, he instantly lost his ease.
His face distorted instantly in rage. The Bone Scepter swung in his hand, and Bone Fang began its rampant assault. In less than twenty minutes, Dean cleared all the monsters in the Land of Bone.
[You have in 324. level 30 elite Armor Skin Rats. As your level is 10 or more levels higher than your opponents, you will only gain 10 percent of the base experience points!]
[You have in 322 level 35 elite Fallen Demons. As your level is 5 or more levels higher than your opponents, you will only gain 20 percent of the base experience points!]
[You have in 388 level 40 elite monsters¡
[Your level has increased to 40, your Agility and Spirit Gehe Attribute points each increased by 3 points!]
[You have obtained one Grant Quota. You now have three unutilized Grant Quotas remaining! ]
Dean was still feeling disgruntled even after killing those creatures.
Fortunately, with the monsters wiped out, Dean¡¯s level raised to 40.
Moreover, a field of light spots burst out from the scattered monster bodies on the ground.
The field of light spots somehow soothed Dean¡¯s heart to a certain degree.
However, Dean noticed, for every two to three level 30 Elite monsters, he would gain one light spot. A level 35 monster would practically grant one light spot.
A level 40 entity would produce exactly two light spots.
Obviously, as the practitioner¡¯s level improved, the drop rate for ying weaker monsters gradually decreased, which dampened Dean¡¯s mood again.
Fortunately, after all, there were over a thousand elite monsters or more in the Land of Bone, which brought Dean significant profits.
In preparation for enhancing his skills, Dean collected all the light spots and opened them.
With the gains from sweeping the three mapsst three days, Dean¡¯s assets reached an unprecedented height.
Just the Gold Coins amounted to 350 Gold.
Additionally, he also gained dozens of pieces of equipment, potions, and tools.
From Dean¡¯s preliminary estimation, if these were sold, he could at least add 100-200 Gold more to his ount.
Only after calcting this profit did Dean¡¯s mood brighten significantly.
Moreover, the Corpse Witch Belt brought another pleasant surprise to Dean.
Name: Corpse Witch Belt
Quality: Silver
Level: 40
Equipment Requirement: Dark System Magic practitioner, Level 40
Effect 1: Storage (Level 5) (Contains 50 cubic meter spaces for storing goods)
Effect 2: Increases 80 Spiritual Power
Its attributes are rather ordinary, but it was just what Dean needed, so he wore it on the spot.
After he had opened up all the light spots and equipped himself with the new equipment, his mood improved significantly.
Dean didn¡¯t waste time and initiated Extraction.
While Dean was prepared to enhance Bone Fang, Extraction had to be done first.
After all, after Talent Upgrade, one extraction of Mana would cost 50 points, with 10 being 500, and 1,000 being 50,000.
Even though Dean¡¯s Meditation skill under Perception status could automatically recover, it would recover just slightly more than 1,000 per minute, and only 10,000 in 10-odd minutes.
That wasn¡¯t enough ¨C it wasn¡¯t nearly enough. Therefore, Dean first had to Extract some attribute points.
[You sessfully used Extraction on Fallen Demon Priest, obtained one fragment of Excellent Temte. You have gained 1 point of Agility, 14 points of Spirit!
[You sessfully used Extraction on Mutated Armor Skin Rat King, obtained one fragment of Excellent Temte. You have gained 2 points of Strength, 12 points of Agility!]
Dean extracted for a continuous half-hour, and after extracting from 7 Excellent Beasts, all the Armor Skin Rats and the Fallen Demons, he replenished his Mana, then formallymenced the Skill Enhancement of Bone Fang.
[You have initiated Skill Enhancement for Bone Fang. You have 15 minutes of enhancement time!]
[You have sessfully used Talent Extraction on Corpse Witch Belt. You have obtained Undead Power ¨C Ice Essence. You have obtained Cave Guardian Essence. You have obtained 50 Attribute points!]
[You have sessfully used Talent Extraction on Mutated Armor Skin Rat King. You have obtained an evolution in Rapid Shot. You have obtained 14 Attribute points.]..

Trantor: 549690339
[Your use of Talent Extraction on the [Corpse Fire Servant] was sessful. You received the ¡®Wraith Power ? Ice¡¯ essence, which increased your Attribute points by 27!]
[You spent 5 Gold Coins to merge ¡®Wraith Power ? Ice¡¯ into Bone Fang¡¯s skill traits!]
[You spent 1 Gold Coin to merge ¡®Rapid Shot¡¯ into Bone Fang¡¯s skill traits!]
[You spent 64 Gold Coins and 50 Silver Coins to burn 430 essences for enhancing Bone Fang¡¯s traits!]
[You spent 274 Gold Coins and 98 Silver Coins to infuse 9166 Attribute points into Bone Fang¡¯s skill, focusing enhancement on Attack!]
[Your enhancement of the Bone Fang skill is sessful!]
All in all, it took about an hour¡¯s time.
Dean McKenzie exterminated all 350 remaining Gold Coins from his pocket. Finally, the enhancement of the Bone Fang skill waspleted.
Skill: Bone Fang (Strengthened 3 times)
Level: 6 (122/1 million)
Skill Consumption: 3500 Mana points
Skill Damage: Spiritual Power multiplied by 3.5 plus 9814
Inherent Trait: Attack Enhancement (Level 5)
Effect 1: (Pration) (Level 4) Deals 750 points of Pration damage
Effect 2: (Long Distance Output) (Level 4) Increases attack range by 500 meters
Effect 3: (Split Attack) (Level 4) Under condition of no Mana consumption, Bone Fang can be split into fifty parts, each part attacks with one fiftieth of the total damage.
Activating 500 Split Effects by consuming 10 times the Mana, each deal an attack damage of 25% of the single-target attack
Effect 4: (Wraith Power-Ice) (Level 5) (Passive attack deals damage increased by 10% ice damage, Consumes double the Mana to activate, dealing an ice damage equivalent to 100% of the attack, with a chance of triggering freezing effect)
Effect 5: (Rapid Shot) (Level 5) (Increase the singing speed of Bone Fang by 50%, and the shooting speed by 250%)
¡°Hiss!¡±
Looking at the attributes of the heavily enhanced Bone Fang, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise.
¡°I feel as though I may have gone a bit overboard.¡±
No kidding, it was just the basic skill of a Necromancer, but Dean McKenzie forcibly upgraded it to single-attack small taboo.
Although the damage it inflicts is terrifying, the Mana cost has also increased significantly.
It costs 3500 for one blow. With his current Mana levels, Dean McKenzie would only be able to use it once.
Even though his Mana recovery is fast, it would still take three minutes tounch a blow.
¡°Luckily, I still have my basic attack and Doggy Two. If I hadn¡¯t, things would¡¯ve been a real struggle for me!
There¡¯s no way I can use my ultimate move even on a small monster outside, right?
In the end, I still need more offensive skills.
Next, I need to go to the market to deal with all the things on hand, see if I can get a few Necromancer skills!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but look at the Spirit Spring.
Seeing the Spirit Spring polluted by the bodies and blood of various monsters, Dean McKenzie felt pain in his heart.
That was money after all.
If Dean McKenzie had managed to sell the Spirit Spring water he had been saving for several days, he could have made at least a hundred or two Gold coins.
Now it was all gone.
¡°It appears that I can¡¯t bring in too many monsters at once in the future, and even if I do they shouldn¡¯t be brought near the Spirit Spring.¡±
Afterwards, taking advantage of being still in the Evil Cave, Dean McKenzie opened the Gate of Bone, dumped the contaminated Spirit Spring water, and refilled it.
After doing all that, Dean McKenzie checked his other gains.
The attributes of the monsters that Dean McKenzie had just dealt with were not yet fully granted, and he still held over a thousand points of various attributes.
In addition, he reserved seven of the monsters with Excellent Temtes.
Together with the 9 temte shards Dean McKenzie obtained in the Demon Box trial sub-space, he now had 16 Excellent Temte shards.
Dean McKenzie promptly smelted out 5 Excellent Temtes.
For the five Excellent Temtes, Dean McKenzie had already nned its use.
Two on his Strength and Physique, one on Old Six the Mage, one on Old Four the Shield Warrior, and one on Old Nine, the Skeleton Archer.
Just the right five.
¡°But, each Excellent Temte costs 5 Gold, so five of them is 25, after enhancing them, it will add up to 225 points costing almost 7 Gold Coins for the four of them, and 10 Gold Coins for my own 360 points.
I will need a minimum of thirty to forty Gold Coins.¡±
At this point, Dean McKenzie¡¯s pocket was empty.
He had no choice but to put things on hold.
Then, Dean McKenzie quickly packed up and left the Land of Bone, returning from the Evil Cave to the Spring City¡¯s Mystery Map Management Center.
¡°Little Wu, How is it going? Did you reach Level 40 yet?¡±
The moment Dean McKenzie emerged, the person in charge of the management center, a fifty-something old man, immediately approached and inquired.
¡°Level 40!¡±
¡°Good! A hero indeed, you¡¯ve risen to Level 35 in just three days. Little Wu, you¡¯re definitely the most amazing youth I¡¯ve seen in over a decade.
Oh right, you¡¯re Level 40 now, that means the Secret Realm Card¡¡±
¡°Oh, right, here you go!¡±
¡°Ah, no, I wasn¡¯t rushing you. But alright, since you¡¯re Level 40 anyway, this thing is useless to you now, I¡¯ll collect it back.¡±
The old man was polite in his words but he was quick to act, promptly taking the card from Dean McKenzie then graciously showed him out; pleasure clear on his face.
The moment he sent Dean McKenzie away, the old man felt a rush of relief.
¡°Atst I¡¯ve got rid of this youngster. I don¡¯t know what exactly he was doing in there, but since he entered, the Secret Realm¡¯s energy consumption has doubled. It quickly drained almost a month¡¯s worth of energy in just three days.
If he stayed a few more days, I¡¯d be crying..¡±

Dean McKenzie had just left the Mystery Map Management Center when hismunication device rang.
The call was from Anson Harris.
¡°Dean, have you left the Secret Realm Management Center? Reached Level 4.0?¡± Anson bluntly asked.
¡°Um, yes!¡±
¡°When do you n on beginning the Promotion Trial challenge?¡± he asked.
¡°In a couple of days, I need to adjust my status first.¡±
The main reason was that Dean hadn¡¯t yet been able to upgrade his strength and physique temtes. Thus, he wouldn¡¯t be able to reap any attributes enhancements if he underwent the trial now.
Of course, Anson didn¡¯t know the truth, but he understood Dean¡¯s position as he had been intensely grinding for three days straight.
¡°Adjusting is a good idea. Once you¡¯re ready to start the Promotion Trial, let me know. I have already lobbied for your merit in this matter.
You cane and collect the resources for your Second-turn trial whenever you¡¯re ready!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
¡°Alright then!¡±
Anson quickly ended the call after delivering the necessary information.
As for Dean, after taking the call from Anson, he headed towards the southern part of Spring City.
Dean had found out that the Professional Commerce Association, which included the Skywind Commerce Guild, was concentrated in the southern part of the city.
Previously, when Anthony was to send Dean to Thorn Oak City, he had arranged for a convoy from the Skywind Commerce Guild. Dean even had a gold membership card of the Skywind Commerce Guild.
Since he needed to sell something, he preferred to do so with those he had some connections with.
Otherwise, even though Dean had been in Spring City for over half a year, he had spent that time mainly in sewers and was rtively unfamiliar with the city.
If he tried to find a random merchant, he might get scammed. So, at this time, Dean¡¯s idea was to seek help from a familiar face.
When in doubt, seek the assistance of a famr face ¨C that¡¯s the style of most people.
Having reliable acquaintances can save you from a lot of unnecessary troubles in your life sometimes.
Of course, if you end up with an unreliable acquaintance, you might find yourself in more unnecessary troubles.
Luckily for him, the Skywind Commerce Guild proved to be trustworthy.
To be more precise, it was Anthony¡¯s connections that were trustworthy.
Initially, Dean¡¯s gold membership card did not impress the Commerce Guild much. However, when they discovered that it was issued by Anthony, their attitude drastically changed.
Their politeness wrenched up a notch.
The price they offered for purchasing rose dramatically from 190 Gold Coins to 250 Gold Coins.
By the time Dean left the Skywind Commerce Guild, his previously empty pockets were filled with 250 gold coins and a contract to buy Level 1 spring water at 1000 milliliters for 1 Silver Coin.
Dean sessfully found a reliable channel for selling his spring water.
Although the price was much lower than he had anticipated, he knew the price they offered was quite generous.
After all, 1 Silver Coin for a small blue bottle was the price at South Hill Base. It was not the same elsewhere, where it was only 500 Copper Coins, and even less for wholesale.
Even that was the wholesale price, not the manufacturing cost. The manufacturing cost of a Tiny Magic Potion was probably around 100 to 200 Copper Coins.
So, the 1 Silver Coin per 1000 milliliters they offered, was quite amodating to him.
As such, Dean can expect an ie of 720 Silver Coins per day. That¡¯s quite a decent ie.
Once he got a stable ie, the confident and carefree Dean went home and promptly used all five of his Excellent Temtes!

As the system prompts refreshed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, his attributes underwent an earth-shattering change.
Name: Dean McKenzie
Profession: Necromancer Apprentice

(Attempt will be made to minimize attribute description or attribute will be ced at the author¡¯s say)
These were Dean McKenzie¡¯s current attributes.
They could no longer be described as sensational, but rather, they were beyond exaggerated.
So much so that in terms of attributes alone, he was more terrifying than the Netherworld Skeleton Knight from the Demon Box.
Of course, while attributes to some extent reflected one¡¯s power, they were not the whole story.
If Dean McKenzie were to fight the Netherworld Skeleton Knight now, without taking the initiative to trap it in a Bone Prison, he wouldn¡¯t have much confidence in his chances.
However, it would be a different story if Dean McKenzie reached Second-turn and learned the two Second-turn skills in his possession.
¡°If I can double my attributes by clearing the Second-turn on Nightmare Mode, by then, the Excellent Temtes at Third-turn wouldn¡¯t seem to pose a real threat.
At least, I should stand a chance against that knight, right?¡±
Under the blessings of his talents, Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power was now enormously exaggerated.
However, though Dean McKenzie increased his Strength, Physique, and Agility attributes, his mainbat power stilly in his Spirit attribute.
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s profession was a Necromancer, and the other attributes without the support of skills couldn¡¯t generate muchbat power.
If Dean McKenzie relied on the other attributes to fight, he could not only forget about reaching Third-turn, but even the First and Second-turn could easily beat him into submission.
But no matter how muchbat power he had, he was happy as long as his attributes were increased.
Besides, Dean McKenzie had not only improved his attributes but also hadn¡¯t forgotten about Old Six, Old Four, and Old Nine.
[You have used the Temte Enhancement for the Summon Skeleton skill. Your Wraith Servant Doggy Six¡¯s temte is upgraded to Netherworld mes Skeleton Mage!
Your Wraith Servant Doggy Four¡¯s temte is upgraded to Bone Shield Guard!
Your Wraith Servant Doggy Nine¡¯s temte upgraded to Bone Crossbow Archer!]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Six¡¯s Spirit increases by 45 points, awakening the basic skill of the temte, Netherworld mes Hand]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Four¡¯s Strength increases by 10 points, Physique increases by 35 points, awakening the basic skill of the temte, Bone Shield Defense]
[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Nine¡¯s Strength and Physique increase by 5 points, Agility increases by 35 points, awakening the temte skill Bone Crossbow]
Three Excellent Temtes were dispatched, and the strength of Old Six and the others was significantly enhanced to varying degrees.
However, even though their strength had been enhanced, they still remained within the medium range of Excellent Second-turn. They might be slightly stronger, but they werepletely iparable with Old Eight and Doggy Two.
Among them, Old Four and Old Nine were rtively dull.
Despite being upgraded to Excellent Temtes, they still seemed somewhat awkward.
Old Six was different.
After the temte was upgraded, it seemed particrly excited.
Very happily, it began toy bricks using the freshly awakened Netherworld mes Hand.
Dean McKenzie was looking forward to this.
He felt that Old Six, as a mage, should be able to create some variety with its magic whenying bricks, right?
However, as soon as Old Six started, Dean McKenzie was immediately disappointed, as all the materials and tools were wasted.
It would have been better to use hands.
After all, using hands wouldn¡¯t cause the tools and materials to be wasted.
Not only was Dean McKenzie disappointed, but Old Six was also dumbfounded.
Standing there stunned, looking at the tools and materials destroyed by its mes Hand, it was dumbfounded for a long time before turning to look at Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie immediately understood its meaning from its Pupil Fire.
I, Old Six, want to earn money!
At the headquarters of the Professional Alliance in Thorn Oak City, the door to the Chairman¡¯s office was knocked upon.
In the office, Bruce Hodge, lounging in a cozy chair, drinking wine and eating meat, raised an eyebrow.
¡°Come in!¡±
Damon Martell at the door pushed it open.
With the door being opened, the office immediately became hardworking and simple. In the office, a dress-down Bruce Hodge was seriously dealing with Thorn Oak City affairs.
Every time he saw this, Damon Martell was filled with admiration.
¡°Mr. Chairman!¡±
¡°What is it, Damon Martell?¡±
¡°I came to report the news from Spring City.¡±
¡°News from Spring City?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bruce Hodge set down his work and lifted his head.
¡°Did Ennis Hawkins wake up?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Upon hearing that, Bruce Hodge became disappointed: ¡°Then what news could there be from Spring City.¡±
¡°Chairman Anson Harris from Spring City has recently applied for a second-turn career resource for a professional named Dean McKenzie.¡±
¡°Dean McKenzie?¡±
Bruce Hodge raised an eyebrow: ¡°Is he the professional who sent Ennis Hawkins back to Spring City as reported from there?¡±
Damon Martell continued, ¡°Yes, and the event report from Spring City is also out, among which is about Dean McKenzie. It seems Dean McKenzie killed Breanna Holt and saved Ennis Hawkins from her!¡±
Bruce Hodge sneered at Damon Martell.
¡°Are you nning to move against this young man named Dean McKenzie?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s been almost 10 days since the incident started, and Ennis Hawkins hasn¡¯t woken up yet. We wanted to send someone there, but Spring City declined.
Under such circumstances, it¡¯s hard not to suspect whether Ennis Hawkins hasn¡¯t woken up or doesn¡¯t want to wake up!¡±
¡°So, you want to test it out?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°Then why choose this young man?¡±
¡°Firstly, the rtionships between the people of Ennis Hawkins in Thorn Oak City areplex and intertwined, not easy to manipte. One move may trigger a chain reaction.
Also, each of them holds significant status and power. If not handled well, it could lead to chaos and may not be easily sessful.
Moving against that young man is different. It¡¯s easier to seed, and his rtionship with Ennis Hawkins is good, he is likely a talent that Ennis Hawkins is grooming.
More importantly, there¡¯s a ready-made reason to move against him.
About how he saved Ennis Hawkins from Breanna Holt, a three-turn level 80 professional, the Mirror Stand side wants to have a word with him.¡±
After listening to this, Bruce Hodge paused for a moment, and murmured with a furrowed brow: ¡°Are you sure about this? And are you sure the young man is problematic?
If the young man is innocent, we can¡¯t wrong him.
They are the future of the Alliance, we can¡¯t harm a promising young man because of Ennis Hawkins.¡±
¡°Rest assured, I know what¡¯s at stake, it¡¯s just to coax out Ennis Hawkins. If Ennis Hawkins doesn¡¯te out and the young man turns out to be fine, I won¡¯t go overboard.¡±
¡°Good, then you can proceed!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
With Bruce Hodge¡¯s permission, Damon Martell immediately left in a rush.
As soon as Damon Martell left, an undertone of wickedughter appeared on Bruce Hodge¡¯s face, and he snapped his fingers. A ck shadow appeared next to him.
¡°Pay attention to Damon Martell¡¯s action. Try to push him a bit further, if he doesn¡¯t go overboard, help him. If necessary, kill the kid, I need Ennis Hawkins dragged out no matter what!¡±
The shadow behind Bruce Hodge nodded, and then disappeared.
With the shadow¡¯s disappearance, the extravagance in Bruce Hodge¡¯s room returned.
Spring City, Promotion Temple.
With the passing of around ten days, Dean McKenzie came to the Promotion Temple again.
Last time Dean McKenzie came for promotion,
This time Dean McKenzie also came for promotion.
Last time Dean McKenzie used resources provided by others for his promotion,
This time Dean McKenzie¡¯s promotion resources came from others too.
Uponing this time, Dean McKenzie was carrying a briefcase.
Inside were the promotion resources that Anson Harris had prepared for him.
These were enough for Dean McKenzie tomence the ¡°nightmare difficulty¡± promotion.
Holding this case of materials, Dean McKenzie walked confidently into the Promotion Temple.
Just barely setting foot inside, a system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Detected a professional that meets the career advancement requirements, do you want to start the promotion trial?]
¡°Yes!¡±
[Please choose the difficulty of the promotion trial!]
Dean McKenzie nodded, and the system prompt refreshed again. Soon after, the difficulty options appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
[Simple, Normal, Hard, Nightmare]
There were four difficulties in total.
One more than when he made the first-turn. Of course, Dean McKenzie had four difficulties during his first turn as well.
¡°I wonder if there¡¯s a higher difficulty after the nightmare mode!¡±
Dean McKenzie muttered while he selected[Nightmare Difficulty].
[You have selected[Nightmare Difficulty], please prepare the following materials¡]
[Detected that you¡¯ve prepared the necessary materials, do you want to start the trial?]
¡°Yes!¡±
Dean McKenzie agreed, a grey light fell, the briefcase in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand disappeared, and at the same time, Dean Mckenzie started to rise slowly in that grey light, finally ascending to the third floor of[Trial Temple].
When Dean Mckenzie reached the third floor of the Trial Temple, the familiar bronze door opened, and the familiar weightless sensation returned.
By the time Dean McKenzie came back to his senses, he was already in a dark, damp underground pce.
[Your trial challenge starts now!]
[Please find the boss of the current map and kill it!]

In the Land of Trials, within the Underground Pce.
The experienced Dean McKenzie immediately activated the Gate of Bone.
As the Gate of Bone opened, the Sensing State was instantly activated and Dean spread his spiritual power out.
His eyebrows furrowed as his spirit began to spread.
This was not because it was the same as the previous copy, where a surprise was waiting for him as soon as he entered.
The area surrounding Dean was surprisingly safe this time, there was no dangerous or alive unit within a dozen meters.
Dean frowned because his sensing state was repressed.
ording to the effect of Meditation, Dean could sense his environment within a distance of his spiritual power multiplied by 0.5.
Under normal circumstances, with Dean¡¯s current 444 points of spiritual power, his sensing range should reach 222 meters.
However, Dean¡¯s actual sensing distance was only around 22 meters.
¡°Does this map have a sensing repression effect?
If so, I won¡¯t be able to locate the target quickly!¡±
At first, this didn¡¯t bother Dean.
¡°It¡¯s okay. If I can¡¯t find the target quickly, I will take it slow,¡± he said.
¡°Take it slow? Seems like this human professional has not realized the severity of the issue yet!¡±
Although Dean¡¯s words were few, someone had heard them clearly.
At this moment, at the deepest part of this Underground Pce, a young man dressed in a ck suit, pale in face, canine teeth protruding from the corners of his mouth, appearing both wild and somewhat elegant, was watching Dean through a bloody mirror.
¡°How long has it been? Finally, someone has challenged me again!¡±
With that, the young man pulled up his cloak, and in a swirl of crimson light, he transformed into a bat and appeared next to Dean in an instant.
His gazended on Dean.
¡°Human, let¡¯s have some fun,¡± he said, preparing to stand.
Dean¡¯s eyebrows arched, he turned his gaze towards him.
¡°Oh, he¡¯s noticed me? His sensing is quite strong, he¡¯s interesting. What¡¯s he nning to do?
Attack me?
With Bone Fang?¡±
Looking at the Bone Fang that was slowly forming in Dean¡¯s hand, the bat couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°Trying to fight me with such a basic move from a necromancer? Is he really¡ damn!¡±
Before the bat could finish his sentence, it saw the Bone Fang fired by Dean piercing through the wall in front of Dean, he had not yet reacted before it crashed next to him.
It was so close. The Bone Fang nearly hit him.
The terrifying power that exploded from the Bone Fang scared the bat.
It immediately fled to the deepest part of the cave, shaking with fear where it just came from.
After a while, the bat mustered the courage to observe the situation.
When it saw that Dean¡¯s Bone Fang had spanned hundreds of meters, piercing through dozens of walls, and then the final explosion, turning the surrounding several meters into an icy hell, the bat shook all over.
¡°You¡¯re telling me¡ this is a Bone Fang?
This monster is here for the second-turn promotion trial?
Who the hell is testing whom here?¡±
The bat had started to doubt its existence after Dean¡¯s Bone Fang attack.
Initially, as the boss, he wanted to mess with Dean, but now he hadpletely abandoned this idea, he just wanted to hide!
¡°I¡¯m not going out, I would rather die than go out.
This underground maze is huge, and his sensing is limited. As long as I hide, he will never find me.¡±
The boss was determined not to go out.
On the other hand, Dean was a little worried.
Just firing that Bone Fang was triggered by Wild Intuition following his instinct. Dean had no choice but to keep looking without producing results.
However, when Dean started looking, he realized that finding the boss in this map seemed to be not a straightforward task.
This Underground Pce not only limited Dean¡¯s sensing but also seemed to be quiterge.
Moreover, it seemed to be a maze.
After searching for a long time, Dean seemed to have returned to the starting point.
¡°It seems that there are no other monsters in this map besides that boss. This could be problematic.
My abilities are very limited. If that boss decides to y hide and seek, it might take forever to find him.
No, I need some reinforcements!¡±
Dean said, raising his hand to erge the Gate of Bone, releasing Doggy Two and the others.
He ordered Doggy Two to send out the skeletons that were just born in the Land of Bone.
Dean nned to use people¡¯s sea, no, the skeleton sea strategy to find the boss.
Now Dean had the qualifications to do so.
There were already thousands of skeletons thrown out by the Land of Bone.
Dean thought that scattering these thousands of skeletons should at least make some ssh.
But the result was hugely different from what Dean had expected. There was hardly any response.
After searching for over an hour, the thousands of skeletons found no trace.
Dean was on the verge of an explosion.
¡°Boom!¡± A st sounded from the side.
¡°Hmm, the explosion¡¯s about right, no wait, my patience shouldn¡¯t affect reality, right?¡±
Dean said, turning his head towards the st.
Where his gazended, Old Six was brandishing Netherworld mes and tearing down a stone pir.
¡°No, I told you to find people, what¡¯s going on there?¡±

¡°Demolishing a house, huh?¡±
¡°ck ck!¡±
Old Six Bone Fang was opening and closing his jaw crazily as if he wanted to say something to Dean McKenzie, but he couldn¡¯t make any sound, and Dean couldn¡¯t understand him either.
Eventually, Dean¡¯s resident informant and trantion enthusiast, Old Eight, crawled out of Dean¡¯s shadow and made hand gestures in the air. Finally, Dean barely figured out what Old Six was trying to express.
¡°So you¡¯re saying, this material is good and you want to take it back to build a house?¡±
Old Six nodded his skeletal head furiously.
Seeing this, Dean couldn¡¯t help but shake his head: ¡°What¡¯s up with you, skeleton? Can¡¯t build your own house so you want to tear down someone else¡¯s to build yours? Who did you learn this from? Is that something humans do?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re going to dismantle someone¡¯s house, where are they supposed to live now? Wait a second¡¡±
Halfway through his words, Dean suddenly recalled, ¡°The owner of this house seems to be my enemy!¡±
¡°Well then, nothing to worry about. Go ahead and tear it down, demolish it with all you¡¯ve got!¡±
¡°He thinks he can hide? I¡¯ll tear down his entire house! I¡¯d like to see if he can still hide then!¡±
Dean grew excited and opened the Gate of Bone to its widest extent, even calling Doggy Two and the rest back.
Their new mission: demolishing a house instead of pursuing someone.
Finding people might be tough, but is tearing down a house any easier?
Dean didn¡¯t believe that after demolishing the entire Underground Pce, the boss would be able to remain hidden.
¡°If the boss STILL manages to stay hidden, then I truly have no other tricks up the sleeve.¡±
¡°However, since I came all this way, I certainly can¡¯t return empty-handed.¡±
¡°If I can¡¯t find the boss, at least I should carry his entire house away!¡±
And so Dean¡¯s Skeleton Army instantaneously transformed into a demolition crew.
Thousands of skeletons fervently began the demolition process.
The operation had a fiery momentum, resembling a bustling construction site.¡± Even Dean couldn¡¯t resist joining the demolition crew, taking the opportunity to show off his 200 plus strength points.
After they began, the happiest one turned out to be Old Six.
He jumped around in pure excitement.
One moment, instructing Doggy Two and the rest to demolish this or that, the next returning to the Land of Bone,manding them to neatly arrange the materials brought from the demolition site.¡±
Looking at the materials piling up in the Land of Bone, the me in Old Six¡¯s eye sockets took the shape of happiness.
On Dean¡¯s end, the demolition work was heating up.
However, the boss hiding deep inside, a bat-like creature, waspletely baffled by Dean¡¯s actions.
During his reign over the trial map, he had never seen anyone use Dean¡¯s strategy.
You tear down the house when you can¡¯t find the person?
You¡¯ve got to be kidding me!
Yet, what could the dumbfounded bat do when faced with Dean¡¯s audacity?
Despite the growing anxiety and desperation, even contemting a fight or flight response, it considered sneaking up on Dean and to y him.
In the bat¡¯s opinion, with Dean¡¯s terrifying attack power, his natural body should be fragile, right?
As long as it found an opportunity to bypass the skeletons under Dean¡¯s control and sneak up on Dean¡¯s side¡
It would only take one strike to finish off Dean!
The bat grew more and more excited as it thought about this.
Just when it couldn¡¯t resist the urge to put its thoughts into action, it suddenly saw Dean using both his hands to effortlessly uproot a pir weighing several hundred kilos.
This left the batpletely dumbstruck.
Compared to it, his strength was terrifying.
Looking at the incredibly strong Dean, and then looking at its slender body¡ Instantly, the bat discarded its thoughts about trying to assassinate Dean. If it tried to sneak up on Dean, it feared it would be captured and beaten to death.
Uln the end, the bat was too scared to do anything. It could only squarely huddle in the deepest part of the Underground Pce, watching Dean slowly demolish his castle with fearful eyes.¡±
While Dean¡¯s demolition team initiallycked professionalism, they eventually got the hang of it.
In no time, the skeletons under Dean¡¯smand became proficient.
The higher their skill level, the more intact the materials they could salvage and their speed also increased.
Additionally, they also had thousands of skeletons. Although majority of them were below level 10, they still had strength in numbers.¡±
Thousands of skeletons continuously worked for three consecutive days and nights.¡±
After three days and nights of demolition work, Dean hadpletely emptied a gigantic underground pce.
He even stripped off the floor tiles beneath his feet.
At this time, the hiding spot of the bat hiding in the deepest part of the
Underground Pce was found by Dean.
Thousands of skeletons promptly surrounded it.
Doggy Two kicked open the door, and Dean finally got to see the boss hidden within.¡±
The moment he saw the boss, Dean found it hard to believe.¡±
Mainly because the boss was cowering in the corner, trembling in fear, showing none of the demeanor a boss should possess.¡±
Dean had to use the Appraisal Skill a few times to confirm the identity of the boss.
[You have sessfully used the ¡®Appraisal Skill¡¯, acquiring the attributes of ¡®Blood n Baron ? Oscar¡¯!]
Name: Oscar
Temte: Blood n Baron (Rare)
Level: Level 40
Traits: Body of the Blood n (C) (Upon activation, all attributes increase by eighty percent. After absorbing blood, this can raise an additional ten to fifty percent on the basis.)
Trial Participant (D) (All attributes increase by one hundred percent)
Identity: Current boss of the trial
Attribute Skills: omitted
¡°So it¡¯s the boss. And also a rare temte. But howe it¡¯s such a wuss?¡±
As Dean questioned this, Doggy Two on the other side already made his move.
The Bone Throne was summoned, and the Bone King¡¯s traits and skills were all sted at once.
Then Bone Eruption was activated.
The bat, that had finally mustered some courage to escape, was suppressed immediately by Doggy Two.¡±
At this moment, Old Eight, who had been eyeing Doggy Two for some time, emerged and with a swift stroke, snatched away the killing blow from Doggy Two..

[You sessfully killed [Vampire Baron ¡ö Ora], your trial challenge isplete!]
Upon killing that unfortunate bat species, the system prompt immediately updated.
At the same time, a ray of light fell on Dean McKenzie.
[You havepleted the second-turn trial challenge, your level has been boosted to current level 41. All your attributes have increased by 100%!]
[You have gained one talent grant quota, currently there are 2 unused quotas left!]
[You have sessfully promoted to the superior profession, Necromancer!]
[You have awakened Necromancer one-turn skill: Bone Spear]
[You have awakened Necromancer second-turn skill: Vision Deprivation]
[Upon promoting to Necromancer, all your Necromancer profession skills level upby 1!]
[Unfortunately, your skill [Bone Fang] failed to level up!]
[The proficiency of your skill [Bone Fang] has increased by one-tenth!]
Upon receiving a few system prompts, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes underwent earth-shaking changes.
Strength: 470.8, Agility: 567.8, Physique: 547.2, Spirit: 888.4.
Magic Strength: 1166.4
Mana: 11688
Among the second-turn, Dean McKenzie dare not im to be the first of his kind, but he was definitely top-notch.
At this moment, his gaze was more focused on those two newly acquired skills.
Skill: Bone Spear (one-turn)
Level: 2
Consumption: 200
Effect: Summon a bone spear, inflicting 3.5 times the spirit plus 500 damage on the enemy,
ps: There is a certain probability to prate.
Skill: Vision Deprivation (second-turn)
Level: 2
Consumption: 800
Effect: Curse at the enemy, depriving the enemy of sight for at least 3 seconds ps: Can be directly used within a 50 meter radius. Beyond this range, a medium is required to use this skill
pss: The specific duration depends on multiple factors such as the medium used and the opponent¡¯s strength.
Both these skills are great.
The Bone Spear canpensate for the output vacancy of Bone Fang, it can serve as a regr output means.
While [Vision Deprivation] can be used as a powerful control skill.
What¡¯s moreforting to Dean McKenzie is that both skills have benefited from this promotion, and have at once reached level 2.
Though it¡¯s not difficult to level up a skill by 1, it¡¯s quitefortable to get something for nothing.
What made Dean McKenzie feel a bit ufortable was that the Bone Fang failed to level up and only increased proficiency by one-tenth, which was a failed freebie.
As for the two other skills in Dean McKenzie¡¯s pocket, they didn¡¯t benefit at all.
[You used the Skill Book [Bone Armor] strengthened [Bone Resistance]!]
[You learned the Skill [Bone Armor] and strengthened [Bone Resistance]!]
Skill: Bone Resistance (second-turn)
Skill Level: 1
Mana Consumption: 1000
Effect: The skill allows you to charge in normal times and activate it all at once when needed, causing a spirit multiple of 5 plus 800 damage, and knocking back enemies, pushing them at least five meters away.
ps: Each usage needs to be recharged
Skill: Bone Armor (Enhanced) (second-turn)
Skill Level: 1
Skill Consumption: 2000 (Activation)
Effect: Able to summon ayer of bone armor on oneself, providing all-round protection.
It can withstand a damage equaling 7 times the spirit plus 3000.
And can reduce the enemy¡¯s attack by ten percent.
If you continue to input mana, you can restore defensive energy, prolonging the time the bone armor canst.
Looking at these two skills and their attributes, Dean McKenzie was extremely gratified.
One can be rapidly activated to defend in close range.
The other one, the bone armor, is even more terrifying.
It is even better than the [Bone Shield], which Dean McKenzie had previously strengthened twice.
Combined with Dean McKenzie¡¯s non-human level spirit of 888.4, plus the [Bone Control] trait, his defense directly exceeded ten thousand.
It can also reduce the enemy¡¯s attack and, given sufficient mana, it can exist continuously.
¡°The second-turn enhanced skill is indeed impressive. Captain Hawkins has indeed given a generous gift!¡±
Looking at [Bone Armor]¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie was both pleased and worried.
The good news was, the skill was powerful.
The worrying part was, he felt a bit apprehensive about getting such a powerful skill out of nowhere.
¡°I owe him a big favour, it won¡¯t be easy to return it in the future!¡±
However, Dean McKenzie was not the squeamish type.
¡°Never mind, I have already learned it. The issue of favour can be dealt withter.¡±
At the same time, the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie refreshed once again.
[Your promotion is nowplete, please make preparations, you will be transported out of the Secret Realm soon!]
At the same time, another beam of light shrouded Dean McKenzie.
No, not just Dean McKenzie, the light also enveloped the skeleton of Dean McKenzie¡¯s family.
The light was in such a hurry, it was as though it was trying to drive out an unwanted guest.
Under the beam of light, none of Dean McKenzie and his skeletons had time to react, only Old Six responded intensely.
As the beam of light descended, Old Six tightly hugging the coffin in the middle of the bat room, refusing to let go!
In the end, under the beam of light, the whole McKenzie family was expelled.
When Dean McKenzie recovered, he was already in the [Promotion Temple] at the first level.
¡°No, Old Six. Where did you get this coffin?
Get rid of such an ominous thing quickly.
It¡¯s something for the dead!¡±
As soon as Dean McKenzie came out, the first thing he saw was Old Six hugging the coffin.
In response to Dean McKenzie¡¯s demand, Old Six didn¡¯t obey right away for once. He raised his head and looked at Dean McKenzie, his eyes brimming with begging.
¡°No use begging, this is a coffin, who on earth lets you bring a coffin home?
I¡¡±
Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t finished his sentence when he suddenly remembered he seemed to be a Necromancer and his skeletons were supposed to be dead. It seemed quite reasonable for them to want a coffin.
Looking at Old Six¡¯s affection for the coffin, Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart softened.
¡°Alright then, if you like it keep it.¡±
Dean McKenzie then opened the Gate of Bone and sent all his skeleton family back to the Land of Bone.
After obtaining what he desired, Old Six seemed extremely excited once he returned to the Land of Bone.
After inspecting the building materials he nabbed from the Underground Pce, Old Six got busy..

Promotion Temple.
After sending Old Six and the others back to the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie pushed open the door to the Promotion Temple and walked out.
What Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t expect was,
as soon as he opened the door, there were four people standing at the entrance.
At first, Dean McKenzie was slightly surprised, then assumed that they had alsoe to be promoted, so he politely stepped aside, intending to let them in.
However, Dean McKenzie quickly realised that they seemed not to be here for promotions.
Because their gaze followed him as he moved.
¡°Who might you be?¡±
¡°We are from the Professional Alliance, I¡¯m George Holt, the Mirror Holder of Thorn Oak City under the Mirror Stand and the leader of this team!¡±
The man who appeared to be around thirty years old among the four and who was leading the group stepped forward and introduced himself while presenting a silver badge with the word [Mirror]engraved on it.
Dean McKenzie cast a nce, and the badge revealed its attributes.
Name: Silver-Level Mirror Holder Token of the Mirror Stand
Quality: Silver
Owner: George Holt
Item Effect: Identity Verification, Monitoring Target
Having identified the other party¡¯s identity, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows.
Because Dean McKenzie had recentlye to understand what thejMirror Stannd the[Mirror Holdersfrepresented within the Alliance.
They served a function in the Alliance, simr to the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong movies; an agency specifically set up to oversee internal matters.
Furthermore, Dean McKenzie understood even more clearly that if they were looking for him, it would certainly not be good news.
Everyone in the Alliance avoided them, and Dean McKenzie was no exception. After recognising their identity, Dean McKenzie felt instinctively nervous and guarded, ¡°What can I do for you, members of the Mirror stand?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, we are here to ask for your cooperation in investigating a matter concerning Breanna Holt.¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie became even more anxious.
After all, Dean McKenzie knew that Breanna Holt was a silver-badge holder from the Mirror Stand.
Moreover, Breanna Holt died by his hand.
Now a group from the Mirror Stand came and said they needed his assistance in their investigation, how could Dean McKenzie not be anxious?
However, despite his anxiety, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t lose his cool.
¡°Oh, so it¡¯s about that. As a member of the Alliance, I am naturally more than willing to cooperate.
But could you wait for a bit?
As you saw, I¡¯ve been working for three days and three nights, I just barely managed toplete my Promotion Quest. Could I take a break and catch my breath?¡±
¡°Rest assured Mr. McKenzie, we from the Mirror Stand are not an overwhelming force, and we can certainly amodate your request! Please, take as much rest as you need!¡±
George Holt smiled warmly while speaking, but didn¡¯t make any move to step aside and let Dean McKenzie through.
The implication was clear; he could rest, but leaving was definitely out of the question.
Sensing the other party¡¯s attitude, Dean McKenzie became even more anxious.
¡°I trust you wouldn¡¯t mind if I made a phone call?¡±
Without waiting for George Holt and the others to respond, Dean McKenzie immediately took the opportunity to contact Anson Harris.
Under these circumstances, Dean McKenzie naturally needed to call for backup.
But George Holt had no intention of stopping him, he just looked on with a smile as Dean McKenzie made his call.
Yet, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel that George Holt¡¯s smile held a hint of mockery, which gave him an uneasy feeling.
This sense of foreboding quickly became a reality.
He could not reach Anson Harris.
A persistent Dean McKenzie tried several times, but still couldn¡¯t get through.
This amplifies Dean McKenzie¡¯s unease to the maximum extent.
The sound of George Holt¡¯s voice echoes again: ¡°So, Mr. McKenzie, do you still need to rest?¡±
The mockery in his words was no longer concealed.
At this point, Dean McKenzie realized that things were not going well.
But at this moment, Dean McKenzie became calm: ¡°Of course, I do!
Could you please wait a moment, I need to use the restroom!¡±
¡°We¡¯ll apany you!¡±
The four from the Mirror Stand stayed close to Dean McKenzie, escorting him to a nearby restroom. They spread out, each one covering a corner,pletely blocking Dean McKenzie, not giving him any chance to escape.
Upon entering the restroom, Dean McKenzie immediately tried to use the Gate of Bone and the ¡°Goblin¡¯s Rise 3¡± dungeon.
Dean McKenzie originally thought these two would be restricted.
But they were not.
Both were still essible.
However, Dean McKenzie did not use these two immediately.
He chose to wait.
Dean McKenzie still held hope for Anson Harris.
Given his current predicament, perhaps only if Anson Harris came would there be a chance of resolving the situation.
However, Dean McKenzie squatted in the restroom for hours, and still, Anson Harris didn¡¯t show up.
But what left Dean McKenzie even colder was the fact that after squatting in the restroom for hours, George Holt and the others outside didn¡¯t utter a word to rush him.
The more they behaved this way, the clearer Dean McKenzie realized, he was probably abandoned by Anson Harris.
Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have had the patience to watch Dean McKenzie dy time. ¡¯
While Dean McKenzie was buying time here,
In the Medical Center of Spring City, in Ennis Hawkins¡¯s ward where he was supposedly stitose, Ennis Hawkins was standing by the window, gazing m the direction of the Promotion Temple.
With a ¡°squeak¡±, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Anson Harris walked in briskly: ¡°Several hours have passed, I¡¯m surprised you managed to maintainposure and didn¡¯t intervene this time, very unexpected indeed!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t intervene now!¡±
Ennis Hawkins shook his head.
¡°Is it because you knew they were trying to force you out, so you¡¯re prioritizing the bigger picture?

Chapter 120:114 Storm Hammer (Additional update for 1000 subscriptions) !
Trantor: 549690339
¡°That¡¯s not like you. I know you¡¯re not one to consider the bigger picture!¡±
As Anson Harris was saying this, he strode over to the window, following Ennis Hawkins¡¯ gaze towards the Promotion Temple.
After a while, Anson Harris turned to look at Ennis Hawkins.
¡°So, you¡¯re still sticking to your original n, huh!
nning to send him away again?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡±
Ennis Hawkins nodded: ¡°The one just left, and Bruce Hodge came soon after.
Their intentions are obvious. Whether it¡¯s Spring City or Thorn Oak City, they will be the focus of it all.
Or perhaps I am at the center of this whirlpool. The closer someone is to me, the more likely they are to be crushed.¡±
¡°So, you are nning to use this opportunity to send him off.
But you can¡¯t be too tant about it. You¡¯re worried that if you do, Bruce Hodge will focus on him more.
You¡¯re also worried that if you¡¯re too tant, Dean McKenzie will refuse to leave when he learns about your situation.
And if he does leave, you¡¯re worried he might feel guiltyter?
That¡¯s why you asked me to ignore him?¡±
Ennis Hawkins did not respond to Anson Harris¡¯s words.
But sometimes silence is the best response.
¡°You¡¯re really a weird guy. Clearly¡ Forget it, it¡¯s none of my business, do whatever you want!¡±
Angrily, Anson Harris left again.
Meanwhile, in the toilet outside the Promotion Temple,
Dean McKenzie, who¡¯d been squatting for hours, wasn¡¯t numb in the legs thanks to his high physique of over 500, but he was exhausted!
¡°Can¡¯t rely on President Anson, he must be in a tricky situation.
And Anthony is probably still asleep.
In this case, I have to face it all by myself!¡±
But how should Dean McKenzie face it?
Should he walk out of the toilet and leave with the people from the Mirror Stand?
That doesn¡¯t seem like a good choice.
Recently Dean McKenzie has started to realize that this world is not the same as the one he traversed from.
The Professional Alliance is not the same as the official organization from his previous world.
The Alliance is much darker than he imagined.
If he really goes with them, the consequences could be dire.
¡°When in doubt, let¡¯s just dive into an instance! Let¡¯s boost my power first. With enough power, everything will fall into ce!
Besides, the next instance can buy me some time. Maybe Anthony will wake up while I¡¯m dying. And that could solve the problem.
Sigh, after all this, it stilles down to Anthony.¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie sighed deeply and used the ¡®Goblin Uprising 3¡¯ Instance Scroll.
[You have activated the instance ¡®Goblin Uprising 3¡¯!]
As the system prompt refreshed,
The familiar sensation of weightlessness returned, and Dean McKenzie disappeared from the toilet.
These toilets were being monitored in real-time by George Holt and his people. They were practically using telescopes!
As soon as Dean McKenzie disappeared, George Holt¡¯s side sensed it.
¡°Trying to buy time using instance scrolls, is he?¡±
George Holt didn¡¯t object to this.
He also wanted to see how the big fish could be lured out if Dean McKenzie kept dying it.
Although the chances were slim, trying wouldn¡¯t cost anything.
If all else fails, they could just bring Dean McKenzie back to Thorn Oak City.
¡°It¡¯s not like his power will skyrocket after he leaves an instance and I won¡¯t be able to handle him, right?¡±
Instance, Goblin Uprising, in Storm Forest!
Dean McKenzie blinked,
And was already in the instance, inside the Storm Forest.
¡°Quickly, let¡¯s go. We¡¯re not entirely safe yet. The Great Swordsman from the Becky family coulde at any time.
If he catches up with us, we¡¯re finished!¡±
Dean McKenzie had just opened his eyes when the Pighead Maid urgently urged him to move.
¡°So, it really is continuing from where we left off!¡±
The instance plot picked up directly from where they left offst time, something Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t expected.
¡°But this isn¡¯t too bad. Compared to the torturous beginnings of the previous two times, this beginning is much better.
Also, the beginning of thest trial was not too bad. It looks like my luck is improving recently!¡±
While Dean McKenzie wasughing, the Pighead Maid seemed incredibly anxious, grabbed him and said ¡°Dean McKenzie, what are you mumbling about? Hurry up and move! The Becky family ising!¡±
Dean McKenzie smiles slightly: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are safe now!¡±
For the Pighead Maid, it may have only seemed like an instant, but for Dean McKenzie, it had been over ten days already.
Dean McKenzie was no longer the person he used to be.
A measly level 65 Great Swordsman, if he darese, Dean McKenzie would dare to make him into a stew.
This was just right as Dean McKenzie had bottled-up anger from outside the instance due to those guys from the Mirror Stand.
But to Dean McKenzie¡¯s surprise, someone agreed with him as soon as he said this.
¡°Yes, he¡¯s right. You¡¯re safe now!¡±
A strange voice echoed.
A momentter, the surroundings lit up.
Dean McKenzie noticed that an army of the Pighead n now surrounded them.
The leader was a pighead man in a silver-white armor, holding a war hammer.
It was the one who spoke just now.
Dean McKenzie gave the pighead man a second nce.
Even without using Appraisal Skill, Dean McKenzie could sense that this pighead man was no ordinary creature.
He was much stronger than the Earth Warrior that Dean McKenzie had defeated previously.
While Dean McKenzie was still observing the pighead man, the Pighead Maid was already cheering up..

¡°Storm Hammer General! Great, Dean McKenzie, we¡¯re safe now, this is the princess¡¯s confidant, Storm Hammer General!¡±
¡°Storm Hammer General?¡±
¡°It¡¯s me!¡±
The Pighead n creature nodded and examined Dean McKenzie with a scrutinizing gaze, asking the pig maid, ¡°Miss Chloe, who is this human?¡±
Without thinking, Miss Chloe responded, ¡°He is the princess¡¯s man!¡±
¡°The princess¡¯s man?¡±
The voice of Storm Hammer General unconsciously heightened by several degrees, filled with disbelief.
¡°Yes, the princess¡¯s man!¡±
Miss Chloe confirmed again.
After that, the way the Pighead n, including the Storm Hammer General himself, looked at Dean McKenzie changed.
¡°How could the princess choose a human as her man!¡±
Their eyes were wide open, staring fiercely at Dean McKenzie, seemingly determined to see through him.
Dean McKenzie felt rather ufortable under such a gaze.
Miss Chloe, oblivious to the tension in the air, said to Storm Hammer General, ¡°Never mind that right now, Storm Hammer General! You must quickly go and save the princess!¡±
¡°Save the princess?¡±
Miss Chloe¡¯s remark drew the attention of Storm Hammer General.
¡°What happened to the princess?¡±
¡°The princess is in trouble. A month ago, the princess killed the heir to the Becky family. The Becky family retaliated against the princess. She couldn¡¯t handle it, so she sent me out of Pink City to find you for help!¡±
¡°What did you just say?¡±
Storm Hammer General burst out, ¡°You¡¯re only telling me about something from a month ago today?¡±
¡°We¡¯ve been under siege by the Becky family this whole time. We spent a whole month getting to the Tempest Woods. If it wasn¡¯t for Mr. McKenzie, I might not have made it to the Tempest Woods.
In any case, quickly think of a way to save the princess!¡±
¡°So that¡¯s why the Becky family has been guarding the entrance to the Tempest Woods recently.
This is unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable for them to dare to harm the princess. Men, prepare for battle, we¡¯re heading back to Pink City to save the princess!¡±
¡°Back to Pink City, to save the princess!¡±
Dean McKenzie stared in disbelief as Miss Chloe persuaded the pig-headed general with just a few words.
A few words from her and a whole army is ready to rebel and save someone.
Anyone who didn¡¯t know Miss Chloe would think she was extremely persuasive.
Only those like Dean McKenzie who had witnessed the entire event were aware that Miss Chloe had not used any sort of tactic; it was all because the general was rash.
The pig-headed general hadn¡¯t even considered confirming the news or what sort of state the princess would be in after a month.
He was all about action as soon as he received the news.
But not only was the pig-headed general rash, so were his soldiers ¨C at least the hundred or so soldiers he had brought with him.
Just a call to arms from Storm Hammer General and the group of pig-headed beings were ready to charge back to Pink City.
Dean McKenzie was dumbfounded.
Who would have thought such a reckless man couldmand an army? This truly was a miracle!
However, while the pig-headed beings may have been rash, the present situation was weed by Dean McKenzie.
Although Dean¡¯s strength had increased, having an army to help was definitely beneficial.
Immediately after, Storm Hammer General announced that he would return to the camp to assemble the army and took Dean and Miss Chloe with him deeper into the Tempest Woods to the camp.
On the way, Dean McKenzie, having nothing to attend do, pulled out the system prompt he had received upon entering the instance to review it.
[You have entered the instance [Goblin Rise 3]!]
[The current instance continues the previous storyline, but the instance is still a free instance. You can make any choices in this instance, you don¡¯t need to follow a fixed storyline, and there are no designated missions.
The current instance willst for: 3 months.
Instance and real-world time ratio: 30:1
PS: Instance rewards will be calcted in 3 months.]
There wasn¡¯t much difference from Instance 2.
The instance had no main missions or other requirements.
However, Dean McKenzie still had expectations for himself.
This time, he¡¯s only doing two things.
The first is to rescue Princess Pig as much as possible. Dean McKenzie had been mooching off her, so he felt it¡¯s time to repay her.
The second is to get the Necromancer Temte.
Dean McKenzie remembered the hint Princess Pig gave him when he left Pink City. She told him to go to Fern City to find a man named Crohn Merlin The Dead .
It was hoped that he would get the Necromancer Inheritance from him.
Dean McKenzie had already triggered 1% of the Necromancer Inheritance. If possible, he naturally wants toplete the Necromancer Inheritance in this instance.
¡°I don¡¯t know how far Fern City is, nor do I know if there will be a next instance or if the next instance will continue this timeline. Therefore, time is of the essence and the task is urgent. We must rescue Princess Pig as soon as possible!
Fortunately, Storm Hammer General is rash and shouldn¡¯t dy. Once the troops are assembled, we should be able to set off.¡±
Dean McKenzie muttered to himself, following Storm Hammer General to the camp.
Storm Hammer General then hastily went to assemble his forces.
Dean McKenzie and Miss Chloe couldn¡¯t provide any assistance at this point and so they just waited inside the camp for Storm Hammer General to return with the assembled army.
They ended up waiting for an hour or two.
¡°What the heck, why is he taking so long?
And why is it so noisy outside?¡±
Dean McKenzie frowned, ready to go out and see what was happening.
Before he could leave, a round object was thrown in,nding at Dean McKenzie¡¯s feet.
Dean McKenzie bent down to see.
What a huge pig head!
Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t identified it yet because in his eyes, all pigheads looked alike. However, Miss Chloe, beside him, recognized the head immediately and eximed out, ¡°No, this is the head of Storm Hammer General!
Something¡¯s gone wrong!¡±
Almost simultaneously, a few Pighead n members barged in.
One among them was the powerful Pighead warrior who had almost taken the life of Dean¡¯spanion, Old Eight, at the entrance of Tempest Woods¡

Inside the instance, the Tempest Woods Barracks.
With the pig head thrown at Dean McKenzie¡¯s feet, the already weakened maid pig was barely standing.
It was as if someone was drowning, and thest straw for survival had been plucked away.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t look very well either.
He had only just thought that his luck was improving, that he wouldn¡¯t get the same ¡®surprise¡¯ as he did when he entered the instance in the past.
But he didn¡¯t expect the surprise to only be dyed, not gone.
¡°Was this waiting for me?
It seems my luck hasn¡¯t improved much!
I have to go through this in every instance!¡±
Dean McKenzie grumbled, his gazending on a few Pighead n members in front of him.
There were three pig-headed men in front of Dean McKenzie.
Among the three pig-headed men, he recognized two from their clothes.
From left to right, there was the great swordmaster who almost killed the eighth with a single sword.
In thest instance, the pig-headedmander whomanded the Becky family army and almost killed Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t recognize the one on the edge.
But Dean McKenzie could see that its armor seemed to be exactly the same as the now-dead Stormhammer.
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze settled on thest one, the despairing maid pig recognized the pig-headed man.
Her eyes fixed on thatst pig-headed man.
That pig-headed man was none other than the deputymander of the Storm Legion, Stormde!
At this moment, he stood with the two pig-headed men from the Becky family, his nearly two-meter-long sword dripping with blood.
The Storm Hammer¡¯s head rolled on the ground.
Everyone knew what had happened from this scene.
The desperate maid pig, whose emotions were already on the verge of breaking, suddenly exploded: ¡°Traitor! The princess was so good to you, giving you the inheritance of a storm swordsman, she nurtured you, and yet you betrayed her!¡±
Stormde didn¡¯t respond to the maid pig¡¯s roar and questioning, whether it was out of shame or disdain.
Rather, the pig-headedmander next to him spoke for him: ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound so ugly, ¡®betrayal.¡¯ The Storm General just made a correct choice!
And besides, who are you? What¡¯s your current situation?
Does the Storm General even care about your opinions?¡±
As the pig-headedmander scolded the maid pig, his gaze fell on Dean McKenzie. After sizing him up, he smiled: ¡°Human, we finally meet!
This time, I won¡¯t let you escape!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I wasn¡¯t nning to run this time either!¡±
Dean McKenzie grinned.
While this pig-headedmander was bbering, Dean McKenzie had already used the Appraisal Skill to check their strength.
Name: Grismer Becky
Temte: Excellent (Great Swordsman)
Level: Level 65
Name: Stormde
Temte: Excellent (Storm Swordsman)
Level: Level 70
Name: Cali Becky
Temte: Excellent (Commander)
Level: Level 63
All three of the pig-headed men were of the Third-turn Excellent Temte.
If they hade across Dean McKenzie in thest instance, he would¡¯ve been doomed.
But this time, things were different.
Looking at them, an excited smile slowly appeared on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face, then he said: ¡°You guys are surrounded by me!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯s words, the three pig-headed men on the other side were stunned.
They looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.
¡°Has this human gone mad from fear? Why is he saying such crazy words?
Can¡¯t he see the situation he¡¯s in right now?¡±
¡°The ones who can¡¯t see are you guys, Bone Spear!¡±
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t bother to argue with them, directly taking action.
With one flick of his hand, a bone spear immediately aimed at the pigheadedmander in the center.
Though it was just an ordinary One-turn Skill, under Dean McKenzie¡¯s frightening Spiritual Power of 888.4 and the boost of Bone Control, his casually thrown Bone Spear was damaging thousands.
Average third-turners simply couldn¡¯t withstand it, and this pigheadedmander was one of the ordinary ones.
However, he had two outstanding third-turners by his side.
¡°ng!¡±
Almost as soon as Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spear shot out, the two pig-headed men standing next to themander took action to save him.
The Stormde was faster than the Great Swordsman, and blocked the Bone Spear with his sword.
Seeing the Bone Spear blocked, the Great Swordsman immediately switched his target and charged straight at Dean McKenzie.
The third-turn Great Swordsman¡¯s burst of speed was terrifying.
In an instant, he was in front of Dean McKenzie, his long sword sweeping to cut off Dean McKenzie¡¯s legs.
Bone Resistance!
Dean McKenzie immediately activated his newly acquired Second-turn skill.
Thousands of Strength surged out. Although the Great Swordsman reacted quickly and retracted his sword to defend, he was still pushed back by Bone Resistance.
As the Great Swordsman was pushed back, Dean McKenzie¡¯s long-prepared Bone Armor was activated.
With a snap, ayer of bone that looked like Meeh Armor grew around Dean McKenzie,pletely enveloping him in the Bone Armor.
This was the first time Dean McKenzie had used this skill.
So, when he saw the form of this skill, he was taken aback by its coolness.
¡°This skill reminds me of a certain red-eyed family¡¯s big move, it¡¯s just a little smaller, but it makes me feel secure wearing it!¡±
Meanwhile, the three pig-headed men were startled by Dean McKenzie¡¯s sudden outburst..

Trantor: 549690339
In fact, not only the three pigheads, but even the maidservant pig was startled by Dean McKenzie¡¯s sudden disy of prowess.
She widened her eyes, unable to fathom how Dean, who was just a first-turn before, suddenly became second-turn.
Furthermore, he was so brave!
The bravery the maidservant pig sensed here, urn, was not about skills or power!
It was true courage!
At the same time, the pigheads, seeing the sudden burst of power from Dean, who was donning bone armor, were first stunned and then mocked.
¡°Unexpectedly, after I hunted you for so long, you were still able to conceal your true power.
Second-turn, high spiritual power, and good skills as well!
Your power levels are close to that of a third-turn. However, if that¡¯s all you¡¯ve
got, then¡¡±
¡°Why all the unnecessary talk?¡±
Dean crudely interrupted the pigheadmander: ¡°I¡¯m just irritated and looking for a ce to vent my anger. It¡¯s good that you guys havee. Either
I¡¯m killing you guys today, or you are dying by my hands, Bone Fang!¡±
With that, Dean raised his hand and shot out a Bone Fang directly at the pigheadmander.
Upon seeing the Bone Fang shot by Dean, the three pigsughed.
Why was he throwing out a Bone Fang when a Bone Spear didn¡¯t work?
¡°Puff!¡±
Before the three pigs could finishughing, the Bone Fang directly pierced through the pigheadmander¡¯s head.
[You sessfully kill [Cali Becky] Excellent (Level 61), you gain 30% of the current Experience Points!]
In an instant, the voices of the remaining two pigs turned silent as if their throats have been strangled.
How did theirmander suddenly die when something merely swooshed past?
The two pigs dumbfoundedly looked towards themander¡¯s direction.
Looking at his gradually frosting corpse and the hundreds of meters long ice line outside his body, both pigheads were stunned.
This, was this the bloody Bone Fang?
Who could have such a powerful Bone Fang?
After a brief shock, the two pigs realized a serious problem.
That was, Cali Becky was dead. He was a high-ranking member of the Becky family, a big shot in Pink City. His death in front of them two pigs was bad news.
¡°Kill this human!¡±
The two pigs exchanged nces, reached an agreement in an instant, and attacked Dean simultaneously.
Both were third-turn swordsmen and their speeds were extremely fast.
However, something was faster than them.
Just as they started moving, a grey figure appeared ¡®swooshingly¡¯.
The swordsman did not react in time and was sted away by the grey figure. It was the Netherworld Skeleton Knight. Dean had used the summoning order. After all, the opponent was a third-turn entity, and there were more than one of them, so Dean naturally went all out from the start.
The fact proved that Dean¡¯s tactics were extremely effective.
In one wave, he directly killed two of the opponent¡¯s third-turns.
The pigheadmander on that side had his head exploded at the beginning, while the swordsman was stabbed away by the Netherworld Skeleton Knight and then ughtered by Doggy Eight as soon as hended and recovered his breath.
Well, you didn¡¯t know why, but the little skeletons in Dean¡¯s family, although they all had different personalities.
Yet they all loved holding grudges strangely uniform.
It wasn¡¯t clear who they learned this from.
The swordsman almost killed Doggy Eight earlier, which Doggy Eight always remembered, and now he has finally avenged this grudge.
[Your Wraith Servant [Doggy Eight] sessfully kills [Grismer Becky], you gain an increase of thirty percent of your current Experience Points!] In just an instant, two of three third-turn pigheads had been killed.
The one left, Storm de, was scared away.
As soon as the swordsman died, he gave up on Dean, who was right in front of him, and fled from the camp.
However, Storm de didn¡¯t run far.
He didn¡¯t give up on taking down Dean.
After all, he had already sided with the Becky family. If he walks away now, then he will lose everything.
So, he had to kill Dean.
After Storm de escaped from Dean¡¯s side, he immediately organized the army to besiege Dean.
¡°I have 3000 Storm Legions on hand. I don¡¯t believe we can¡¯t kill a second-turn human necromancer!¡±
Under the organization of Storm de, the 3000 Storm Legions besieged Dean¡¯s location.
Say, military forces in formation are pretty strong.
Although most of the 3000 Storm Legions were second-turn pigheads, under the organization of Storm de, they erupted with a strong fighting capability.
The Netherworld Skeleton Knight had a good start, killing off several foot soldiers at the beginning.
However, quickly, under Storm de¡¯smand, the Storm Legion held its ground, and slowly decreased the Skeleton Knight¡¯s survival space, then took down the Netherworld Skeleton Knight at the cost of two or three hundred soldiers.
Then, the Storm Legion started to pressure towards Dean s room. At this time, in Storm de¡¯s eyes, Dean was practically dead already. Although, when they came over, Dean threw out another Bone Fang. The split Bone Fang did great damage to the Storm Legion.
Storm de didn¡¯t care.
Because he could tell, Dean¡¯s Bone Fang, although strong, also had an extremely high consumption.
He didn¡¯t believe that Dean could cast such a skill many times.
The development behind seemed to be just as Storm de had predicted. Dean only cast three Bone Fangs before he stopped..

Despite the casualties inflicted on the legion by Dean McKenzie¡¯s three Bone
Fang attacks, their morale remained high.
After all, Dean couldn¡¯t inflict any more damage, as long as they managed to break through his Turtle Shell, victory would be theirs.
But what they found when they broke down the building Dean was in stunned them. Dean had trapped himself inside a massive Bone Prison.
At first, the legion didn¡¯t understand why Dean would put himself within the Bone Prison. But after theyunched an attack against it, the Storm Legion quickly realized the reason.
The defense capability of the Bone Prison reached up to 21460!
Not only was its energy terrifying, but its solid defense was even more horrifying, as it directly reached three times that of Dean¡¯s Spirit.
So how much Spirit did Dean have currently?
888.4!
Damage below 2665 simply couldn¡¯t inflict harm on the Bone Prison.
Not only did it not inflict harm, the attackers were subject to Reflect Damage! After battling for a prolonged time, the legion still couldn¡¯t break open Dean¡¯s Bone Prison.
Even if they managed to break open the Bone Prison, Dean still had his Bone
Armor.
The defense was simply despair-inducing.
¡°This type of defense could tremendously drain his Mana, he won¡¯t be able to hold out for long!¡±
That was all the Storm Legion could say to steady their morale.
Initially, these words were effective, but as time went on, they were increasingly powerless.
Because after battling for two to three hours, Dean¡¯s Bone Prison remained unbreakable, and Dean did not seem to be running short of Mana.
War more despairing for the legion was¡
While Dean was maintaining the Bone Prison and his Bone Armor, he was also umting Mana and had finally gathered enough tounch another Bone Fang attack.
That one Bone Fang attack devastated the morale of the legion in front of him. The remaining Storm Legion, consisting of less than two thousand soldiers, immediately copsed and fled.
After all, the Pigheads in the instance were lively, they had flesh and blood, they felt fear and despair.
And the power Dean had disyed intimidated and terrified them into sudden copse.
When the morale of the legion copsed, the Storm Legion knew that they couldn¡¯t defeat Dean.
¡°From where on earth did this human monster appear? He has both strong Spirit and terrifying Skills, does his Mana have no end?
This kind of existence is simply impossible to defeat!
Forget about it, better nothing than something. If I can¡¯t beat him, I¡¯ll flee as far as I can, at least I can keep my life!¡±
Indeed, happiness can only be realized throughparison.
At first, the Storm Legion felt they¡¯d had an incredibly rotten day. But when they thought of the two Pigheads from the Becky family who had been killed by Dean, they immediately felt much better.
Then they promptly turned to run.
However, just as they started to move, just as they made a turn, a Bone Fang traveled hundreds of meters and uratelynded on them.
¡°Thud!¡±
The lower half of the Storm Legion was instantly blown to pieces, their bodies were covered in ice, freezing them in ce.
At the same time, Doggy Two crawled out from a nearby shadow.
Upon seeing this, the Storm Legion knew how Dean¡¯s Bone Fang had so urately marked them.
Dean deliberately aimed his attack at the lower half of the Storm Legion, as per the request of Pig Maid Chloe in order to potentially keep the Storm Legion alive long enough to extract information about the princess from them.
Unfortunately, the damage inflicted by the Bone Fang was too severe. Moreover, although Dean aimed downward, he aimed a little too low, hitting the stomach area three inches below the navel.
Hence, moments after Deanunched his Bone Fang, he heard the system notification.
You have sessfully in the Storm Legion (Level 70), your level has been increased to Level 42!
Each of your attributes, Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit have added 6 points!
Your Spirit has been increased to 894-4, and your Mana to 11748!
After the system notification, Dean¡¯s nearly depleted Mana was instantly restored to full.
The recent battle had not been an easy one for Dean.
Although the Spirit Spring in the Land of Bone could provide Dean with a perennial supply of Mana, Dean¡¯s skill of meditation could only restore a little over a thousand per minute.
Although this might seem high, in actual fact, it would run out swiftly during an intense battle.
Otherwise, Dean wouldn¡¯t have to spend several hours storing up for two Bone Fang attacks.
Thinking back, Dean couldn¡¯t help but remark: ¡°Looks like I need to level up my Meditation skill. Otherwise, the restoration of just over a thousand Mana per minute simply won¡¯t be enough!¡±
To hear this leaves Pig Maid Chloe dumbfounded.
Although she¡¯s not a mage, she knew that even Second-turn, Third-turn, or even Fourth-turn mages would be secretly overjoyed if they could restore over a thousand Mana per minute. However, Dean was unsatisfied with such a rate.
Although he was not satisfied with the current restoration rate of his meditation technique, Dean didn¡¯t increase it despite his present high Spirit.
Mainly for the reason that despite being surrounded by countless corpses, most of them had already exceeded the Extraction time limit, and theycked the attributes Dean wanted.
¡°Chloe, besides the one we blew upst time, are there any other Earth Warriors in the Becky family?¡±
Although Pig Maid Chloe didn¡¯t understand why Dean was suddenly asking this, she still candidly answered.
¡°Yes, the n leader of the Becky family is an Earth Warrior and it¡¯s said that his profession is aplete Rare Quality Temte!
After hearing Chloe¡¯s answer, Dean was both pleased and conflicted.
He was pleased that there was indeed an Earth Warrior, and if he could acquire it, then his skill of Meditation had a chance of being leveled up.
He was conflicted that this individual also happened to possess a Rare Temte.
Dean currently had two pieces of a Rare Temte, he was just one piece short of aplete Rare Temte.
This left Dean in a dilemma.
¡°After I defeat him, should I choose to enhance my Meditation skill, or should I prioritize the Temte first?¡±
No, let¡¯s forget about that for now. There might be other Rare Temte individualster on, I¡¯ll focus on what¡¯s ahead first.¡±
Saying this, Dean cast his eyes on the tattered battlefield of the Storm Legion. The battle was over, now it was time to reap the rewards!
Dean fully opened the Gate of Bone and let out Doggy Two¡¯s demolition crew once again.
Having got a taste for destruction in the Underground Pce, Dean was ready to tear this camp apart as well..

Hearing about the dismantling, Old Six, originally a short-legged mage, ran faster than anyone.
It even dropped its work, pushed past Doggy Two who was at the front, and excitedly became the first one to leave the Land of Bone.
As soon as Old Six stepped out, the sight of what Dean McKenzie asked it to demolish visibly diminished its fiery pupil excitement.
He even noticed a shade of distaste on Old Six¡¯s face at the Gate of Bones as it refused to descend.
This totally puzzled Dean, ¡°What are you getting picky over here?
You can¡¯t get enough of the eerie materials from the Underground Pce, but now you¡¯re turning your nose up at these good-quality resources from the fort? What¡¯s up with your taste?
Have you lost your sense of gratitude?
Let me tell you, we must economize!
We have to haul in everything we find, good or bad, whether we like it or not. After all, it¡¯s all free!¡±
In the end, no one knew if Dean had sessfullypelled it, but Old Six finally descended from the Gate of Bone.
However, after descending, it was fussy about everything in the fort.
It wasn¡¯t interested in things like arrows, watchtowers, barracks, or warehouses.
But for some reason, it especially loved the dungeon and urged Doggy Two to help itpletely clear out the whole structure.
After finalizing the dungeon, Old Six returned to the Land of Bone and didn¡¯te out again.
To Dean¡¯s surprise, he discovered that Old Six had reconstructed the dungeon with materials from the base.
Observing how Old Six was reconfiguring the Underground Pce, Dean got a clear understanding of its preferences.
Apparently, Old Six favored buildings that seemed out of the Netherworld.
Moreover, it showed a great deal of talent in designing these eerie structures. In no time, the dungeon Old Six had acquired was practically reassembled.
Judging from Old Six¡¯s current performance, it has the potential to be a great Netherworld architect if it continues developing in this direction.
But Dean was a living being in the mortal realm!
His aesthetics were of the mortal realm; he genuinely disliked these Netherworld buildings.
Who would ever fancy a dungeon or graveyard in their home?
However, witnessing how enthusiastic Old Six was about his task, Dean couldn¡¯t bring himself to disturb it. After all, it was not easy to find a skeleton that was interested in architecture.
He was really worried that any interference from him could potentially kill its interest.
¡°Whatever, it is a skeleton after all. It¡¯s natural for it to be a little eerie. Just let it be!¡±
Dean decided to shake his head and return to the base, focusing on his tasks instead.
Dean busied himself at the fort for half a day.
He managed to move the dungeons, arrow towers, watchtowers, barracks, and warehouses into his inventory.
Thanks to the dismantling practice in the Underground Pce, he was indeed capable of handling such arge project within half a day.
While dismantling the fort, Dean came across a lot of extra rewards in addition to construction materials.
Firstly, he found 100 sets of bronze grade equipment most likely left by the retreating Storm Legion in their warehouse. The equipment was all Level 41!
Besides, there were about 1000 kg of army food, 1000 bottles each of Life Potion and Mana Potion.
Name: Life Potion
Level: 41
Effect: Drinking it can regenerate 1000 units of life force.
Name: Mana Potion
Level: 41
Effect: Drinking it can recover 2500 mana points or 500 spirit power units over three minutes.
Both potions were of a higher grade than the ¡°small type¡±.
Dean had found out from the Skywind Commerce Guild.
Both minuscule life and mana potions were priced around 500 Copper Coins.
Small life and mana potions were priced around 2 to 3 Silver Coins.
But these particr potions were worth around seventy or eighty Silver Coins each.
Therefore, just the potions were worth at least seven to eight hundred Gold Coins.
Moreover, the warehouse contained more than 100 Gold Coins.
Additionally, he found a pouch with 200 Gold Coins in it in the room of the de of the Storm.
What made Dean more thrilled was a special treasure chest that appeared in the fort after it was dismantled.
Map Treasure Chest: Storm Camp Treasure Chest
ps: A treasure chest with a chance of appearing after a map is cleared.
With more than 300 Gold Coins, 100 sets of bronze armor, potions worth seven or eight hundred Gold Coins, and a special map treasure chest,
as well as the loot from the Pighead n Dean killed,
although most of the Pighead n had been dead for more than 90 minutes by the time the battle was over, making them unfit for extraction, there was still a portion that was not.
Since the quantity was not substantial enough, Dean did not extract the skill, but he didn¡¯t let anything go to waste.
After the immediate extraction, he strengthened his own attribute points.
Once Dean reached Level 43, his four main attributes increased by 45. He quickly added all the new attribute points to his stats.
Other attributes aside, his Spirit directly increased to 939.4, almost reaching 1000.
Also, the Pighead n dropped a fair amount of items.
After a quick estimate, Dean calcted that he profited at least 1500 Gold Coins from this fight.
¡°Halfway to my little goal, actually it¡¯s my slight wish has already been achieved.
With this, my skills stand a chance of upgrading again.¡±
While blissfily grinning, Dean simultaneously opened the nine light dots dropped by the three Thir-turn bosses, along with the treasure chest.
[You opened nine light points, you received 180 Gold Coins, the material [Bone Erosion Toxin].
You received [Fierce Wind Greatsword], [Fierce Wind Handguard].
You received [Storm Swordsman Temte].
You received [Prison Blueprint].]
[You¡¯ve unlocked the [Storm Camp Treasure Chest], you obtained the equipment [Storm Ring]]
Among these items, both the [Fierce Wind Greatsword] and [Fierce Wind Handguard] are silver equipment for those above Level 61. The conditions are rather strict; Dean McKenzie, being not yet at that level, has no choice but to keep them stored for now
The Storm Swordsman Temte also has stringent requirements, as it oddly requires the user to be a member of the Pighead n.
Such stringent requirements immediately rule out Dean McKenzie.
He surely can¡¯t attach a pig head to his own, can he?
Dean is still quite confident in his looks. After all, two women on this map were already infatuated by his handsome appearance.
Therefore, he just tossed this item into his belt to collect dust.
No, not even dust, since it¡¯s stored in the space of his belt.
Among remaining items, the [Prison Blueprint] is a construction blueprint, which Dean scanned and then handed over to Old Six.
Old Six, treating the map like a treasure, went off to tinker with his dungeon again.
In the end, Dean¡¯s gaze fell upon the final two items.
Name: Bone Erosion Toxin
Quality: Silver
Description: This is deadly poison. Those affected by it be weak, and at worst, their bones dissolve, resulting in death.
Ps: As long as you don¡¯t use it all at once, you can store it in a bone where it can slowly regenerate.
Equipment: Storm Ring
Quality: Silver
Level: 61
Equipment Condition: Chest opener
Effect 1: Increases Spirit by 180 points
Effect 2: Storm Power (Upon activation, adds 5000 points of storm power to your attack) (Limited to once per day)
After reading the attributes, Dean promptly took off the [Rough Mana Ring] from his hand, swapped it with the [Storm Ring], and handed the Bone Erosion Toxin to Old Eight.
Old Eight¡¯s poison-enhanced dagger and poison strengthening were in dire need of poison.
With a silver-quality toxin, Old Eight¡¯s strength should skyrocket, right?
¡°Come on, try it and see the effect!¡±
Dean immediately had Old Eight test the effect on the spot. After all, this stuff can regenerate.
Old Eight activated the skill, extracting poison from the [Bone Erosion Toxin] and applying it to his dagger.
Shortly after, the skill had been used, and Dean noted an added poison attribute to Old Eight¡¯s dagger.
Poisoned: Bone Erosion Poison
Effect: Inflicts 500 points of poison damage per second to the target and has an 80 percent chance to cause the enemy to enter a weakened state.
Reduces the enemy¡¯s speed and strength by 20 percent!
¡°Not bad, now try [Poison Strengthening]!¡±
Old Eight obediently swiped again, and the attribute changed once more.
To be exact, it increased.
The poison damage per second raised from 500 to 1000, and the decrease in speed and strength from the original 20 percent increased to 40 percent.
The effect is indeed quite substantial.
However, the Bone Erosion Toxin was used once and was already down by a fifth, the remaining could be used at most three more times, leaving 1 point for recovery.
But it¡¯s not too shabby.
Dean was very satisfied.
¡°How are your injuries?¡±
After opening the chest, the content Dean, came to visit the maid pig.
The maid pig, after having consumed several [Life Potions] brought by Dean, while still in a weakened state, looked considerably better.
Upon seeing Dean arrive, the maid pig was somewhat evasive: ¡°So you were that strong! The princess really has an unfailing judgement!¡±
¡°I wasn¡¯t always this strong. When I battled with the Earth Pighead, I was really struggling. It¡¯s only after entering the Storm Forest that my strength started to improve.¡±
¡°Your powers improved after entering the Storm Forest?¡±
The maid pig was chewing on Dean¡¯s words, but herck of understanding was written all over her face.
¡°You don¡¯t need to try and understand, with your brain capacity, understanding this is purely a challenge for the CPU¡¯s heat resistance.¡±
Dean boldly expressed contempt for the pig maid¡¯s intelligence.
The maid pig doesn¡¯t understand Dean¡¯s contempt.
Dean didn¡¯t n to continue with this topic,
¡°Now that the Storm Legion is incapacitated, what¡¯s our next move? Do you have any other reinforcements? Even if there are no reinforcements, is there anyone who can provide information on the situation inside the city or the princess¡¯s condition?¡±
Upon hearing Dean talk about serious matters, the maid pig immediately set aside Dean¡¯s strange words.
¡°As for reinforcements, we don¡¯t have any left. This was the princess¡¯s only force.
As for inquiring about the city¡¯s situation, I regret to say we don¡¯t have anyone for that at the moment!¡±
Upon saying this, the maid pig bowed her head, her face full of shame.
¡°How about the Becky family¡¯s might? Or can you at least confirm if your princess is still alive?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not entirely sure about this.¡±
The maid pig¡¯s head drooped even lower.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m just useless!¡±
Looking at the maid pig in front of him, Dean didn¡¯t know what to say.
¡°In that case, it looks like we¡¯re going to have to be reckless!¡±

Goblin Uprising Instance.
Dean McKenzie returned to Pink City after clearing out the Storm Barracks.
Departing from Pink City for thest instance, he journeyed through the trials and tribtions of getting to the Tempest Woods, a journey that took him a full month.
But the return journey was different.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t bother circumventing but instead headed straight back.
Bursting forth with a whopping 600-plus agility, he took down all in his path, whether it was wild beasts or the Pighead n of the Becky family. Those at the ordinary level fell at his hand.
As for those beyond ordinary status, Dean took a little more effort, crippling them and tossing them into the Land of Bone.
He reached Pink City in just three days.
Even though Dean¡¯s main focus was on his journey, he had a decent loot in these three days¡ªthree hundred-man squads of the Pighead n and three excellent Pighead individuals found their way into the Land of Bone.
Aside from that, more than a dozen wild beasts made their way in as well.
What surprised Dean was that stuffing these Pigheads and wild little beasts into the Land of Bone had elerated Old Six¡¯s research on the dungeon, delightfully surprising him.
Old Six had previously had an unpleasant experience with these beasts being thrown into the Land of Bone.
Deep down, it harbored resentment towards these beasts.
All the little skeletons in Dean¡¯s care may have had different personalities, but they all held grudges just the same.
Old Six¡¯s profound interest in the dungeon at the barracks made it contemte a new idea.
As soon as Dean sent these Pigheads, it gave Old Six a significant nudge.
So much so that the moment Dean reached the outskirts of Pink City, Old Six gave him a pleasant surprise.
[Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Six, has constructed a primary build, the Dark Dungeon, unlocking the Deputy Architect!]
[Your Wraith Servant, Doggy Six, has gained the Architect Trait, Dark Specialization!]
Upon receiving these two system notifications, Dean was overjoyed.
He entered the Land of Bone immediately.
As soon as he entered the Land of Bone, he saw a somewhat gloomy structure rising from the ground.
When Dean saw that structure, the building attributes appeared before his eyes.
Building: Dark Dungeon
Building Level: Primary One-Star
Building Effects:
1,?? Imprisonment space (Primary) (Thousands of square meters of internal space suitable for imprisoning criminals, the space has a constant defense of 100)
2,?? Power Repression (Primary) (The strength Mana of criminals held captive inside will be repressed to 70% of its original)
3,?? Recovery Repression (Primary) (The life force and Spirit Power recovery of criminals held captive inside will be repressed to 70% of its original)
ps: This building is a structure built by Doggy Six, fashioned using materials from the Storm Dungeon and the Underground Pce,
pss: Only targets that have been severely damaged and are incapable of fighting back can be ced in it
¡°The attributes of this building seem decent!¡±
Dean nodding satisfactorily said, ¡°Now, the beasts sent in have a ce to stay, I will keep dumping them into the dungeon next time. Doggy Two, why are you still standing there? Get those running around everywhere into the dungeon.¡±
While Dean was busy directing operations, he started looking for Old Six.
Shortly, near the dungeon, he found Old Six, whose pupil fires were wavering as it contemted the dungeon.
It was apparent that it wasn¡¯t quite satisfied with its handiwork.
But Dean didn¡¯t bother it and just checked Old Six¡¯s attributes from afar.
Name: Netherworld Skeleton me Mage (Doggy Six)
Level: 41
Temte: Excellent
Trait: Power of the Nether (D) (Boosts the power of Nether spells by fifty percent)
Deputy: Primary Architect
Dark Specialization (D) (Architect Trait, understanding and construction efficiency of dark attribute buildings increase by fifty percent, have a chance to increase building attributes)
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 5, Agility: 5, Physique: 5, Spirit: 370.5
Mana: 370.5
Defense: 2.5
Mana: 3705
Skill: Little Nether me Ball (Level 4) Netherworld mes (Level 8)
One-turn: Small Nether Fire Rain (Level 1)
Equipment: Netherworld Staff (Silver)
Old Six had clearly strayed from the path.
The level of itsbat skills is so low that the one it uses forbor is already at level 8.
However, Dean didn¡¯t say a thing. After all, he knew that Old Six had found its passion. Furthermore, it was a passion that benefits him immensely.
The dungeon that it just built brought a lot of peace and quiet to the Land of Bone.
Dean no longer had to worry about his Spirit Spring being contaminated.
There¡¯s just one problem¡ªthe dungeon is a little cramped. It¡¯s almost at full capacity with all the over three hundred beasts crammed in.
But it¡¯s not a big deal.
He can make Old Six construct more dungeons. After all, from the looks of it, Old Six isn¡¯t satisfied with its current construct either.
As its master, Dean thought it best to let it practice more.
After ncing at Old Six for a moment, he quickly turned his attention back to the instance.
¡°Old Six is busy working away diligently. It¡¯s time for me to get to work as well!¡±
First, Dean went to the tunnel he had previously exited.
Upon reaching, he realized that the tunnel was already discovered and promptly destroyed.
¡°Isn¡¯t that just typical? Couldn¡¯t these Pigheads be a bit less brutal? Couldn¡¯t they leave the tunnel intact so I could sneak in for an ambush? Now look, they destroyed it.. How am I supposed to infiltrate now?¡±

¡°In that case, I have no choice but to face it head on!
Dean McKenzie said, his eyes fixed on Pink City.
Pink City, inside the City Lord¡¯s Mansion where Dean McKenzie had previously resided.
At this moment, Albert Becky, the head of the Becky family, is seated on the city lord¡¯s throne with a pink Pighead n princess in his arms.
This princess is Elisa¡¯s older sister, the Grand Princess of Pink City, and the current city lord.
The two porkers together weigh at least a couple of thousand kilos and are holding court on the city lord¡¯s throne.
The rhythm of their movement is sometimes as wild as a storm, and sometimes calm, which is quite pleasing to watch.
It¡¯s just a bit hard on the eyes.
So much so that even the heavens couldn¡¯t bear it any longer, and at a crucial moment, there came a sharp roar of fury.
¡°Is that swine inside?¡±
¡°No, the head of the n isn¡¯t here!¡±
¡°Move aside, let me through!¡±
¡°No¡¡±
¡°Bang!¡±
There was amotion outside, followed by a towering Pighead woman with a fierce expression charging in.
As soon as she entered, she caught sight of the eye-watering scene unfolding, and her fragile, oversize heart couldn¡¯t take it. Tears streamed down her face: ¡°I knew you were having an affair with that whore!!
How could you do this to me?
Stop right now!¡±
The weeping female Pighead was ignoredpletely, and when they continued without a pause, she lost it, leaping into the fray to grab the Grand Princess.
just as she made her move, she was stopped by some mysterious force.
The pink Pighead casually waved a hand at her, and Albert Becky didn¡¯t even bother to nce her way.
just like that, the furious female Pighead was frozen in ce, unable to move, forced to watch the repulsive scene before her.
This was simply an outrage against pigs, it was too brutal.
To the point where even the old man couldn¡¯t bear to watch, causing the gate of Pink City to explode.
¡°Boom!¡±
A booming sound came from the city gate. Although it was nearly ten miles away, the echo was still clear.
Immediately, the rm in Pink City rang out and the disturbing couple had to stop their activities.
¡°You there, what¡¯s going on? Who has a death wish?¡±
Albert Becky, forced to stop, was beside himself with rage.
The Pighead outside didn¡¯t dare to enter, but knelt at the door and said, ¡°My n leader, we just received news that the human who was previously with the Third Princess came!¡±
¡°Elisa¡¯s human lover is back!¡±
Upon hearing this, not only did Albert Becky¡¯s rage dissipate, but even the Grand Princess looked interested.
¡°It¡¯S been a month, so Cali has finally caught him for me!¡±
¡°Excellent, with this human, there¡¯s hope we can get my sister to talk.¡± Albert frowned, ¡°That¡¯s not right. Even after Cali caught him, there shouldn¡¯t have been such amotion!¡±
The trembling Pighead outside exined, ¡°n leader, that human wasn¡¯t brought back by Lord Cali. He fought his way back!¡±
¡°What did you say? He fought his way back?
¡°Yes, the news from the city gate is that the human fought his way back, and he even nailed Lord Fortitude¡¯s corpse to the city gate!
He issued a threat, demanding we release the Third Princess before the day¡¯s end.
If we don¡¯t release the Third Princess, he¡ he¡¯s going to kill Lord Call!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
As soon as the Pighead outside finished speaking, the door was smashed open.
Albert Becky¡¯s figure burst out from the inside.
It didn¡¯t take long for the n leader of the Becky family to reach the city gate.
At the city gate, he first caught sight of a Pighead greatsword master¡¯s corpse, skewered onto the city gate by a Bone Spear.
The moment he saw that corpse, Albert Becky¡¯s face turned extremely grim. After all, a third-turn level entity was very rare among the Becky family. Considered top-linebatants.
What¡¯s more, this greatsword master, along with Cali, had been sent by him to subdue the Storm Legion.
Now that his real body was here, it¡¯s highly probable that Cali was in the human¡¯s hands.
¡°Where¡¯s the human?¡±
Albert Becky asked, struggling to keep his anger in check.
The Pighead on the side, trembling with fear, answered carefully. He s gone.
After he hung up Lord Fortitude¡¯s corpse, he left!¡±
¡®You just watched him walk away?¡±
¡°Lords Adrian and Addison led two squads of a hundred elite to pursue him!¡±
¡°In which direction?¡±
¡°Which way?¡±
Having obtained the location, Albert was getting ready to join the pursuit.
¡°Wait!¡±
At this point, the piggy Grande Princess came and called out to him.
Albert turned his head to look at the Grand Princess, whose eyes were on the Bone Spear stuck in the greatsword master¡¯s body. She touched it lightly, then turned to look at Albert.
¡°A third-turn level spell, it seems we¡¯ve underestimated this human, he¡¯s much stronger than we thought.
I thought so, the human my sister chose couldn¡¯t possibly be so ordinary.
If you chase after him now, there¡¯s a chance you might end up dead out there!¡± ¡°A third-turn human is going to kill me?¡±
-A third-turn human wouldn¡¯t be able to beat you, indeed, but we have the dead body of Fortitude here, which means the Storm Legion hasn¡¯t been subdued.
If you chase him now, what you¡¯re facing isn¡¯t just a third-turn human, but the Storm Legion as well!
Don¡¯t forget, although the Storm Hammer doesn¡¯t have a good head on his shoulders, his strength is at least equal to yours..

That human is clearly using himself as bait by tossing out that corpse. It¡¯s a trap.
If you chase after him and fall into the trap, facing the Storm Hammer and his Storm Legion, how sure are you that you wille back alive?!¡±
Although Albert Becky¡¯s face was full of defiance upon hearing this, he obeyed and did not chase after him.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
It¡¯s Dean McKenzie!
At this moment, Dean McKenzie was fleeing leisurely.
Behind him, two members of the Pighead n were leading two hundred-person squads in pursuit.
Although the Pighead princess¡¯ analysis was mostly wrong, she wasn¡¯tpletely wrong, she was right about one thing.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s nailing of the tough corpse at the city gate was indeed intended to lure someone out for a kill.
At present, this n appears to have been sessful to some extent.
While running, Dean McKenzie used the Appraisal Skill, allowing him to fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of the Pighead pursuers.
Name: Adrian Becky
Temte: Excellent (Pighead n¡¯s Great Warrior)
Trait: Explosion Mountain Power (D) (Strength increased by 250% for ten minutes, can be activated once a day)
Level: 69
Name: Addison Becky
Temte: Excellent (Pighead n¡¯s Thunder Warrior)
Trait: Thunderous Power (D) (25% chance of attack, inflicting 25% Thunder attribute damage)
Level: 70
Name: Pighead n¡¯s Elite Pursuit Squad
Temte: Elite
Level: 51
¡°Two ¡®Excellent Beasts¡¯ at thir-turn level and two hundred level 51 elite monsters. Although I didn¡¯t manage to lure out the head of the Becky family, it¡¯s still a pretty good haul. Time to wrap up!¡±
Dean McKenzie stopped running, turned around andunched a Bone Fang.
With the addition of Rapid Shot to the enhanced Bone Fang, the shooting speed of the Bone Fang had greatly increased, on top of Dean¡¯s shameless ambush.
Addison Becky, who was in the lead of the pursuit, had his head exploded by a Bone Fang before he could even react.
[You killed [Addison Becky] (Excellent Beast) (Level 70), you have gained 25% of the current level in experience!]
A system prompt refreshed in Dean McKenzie¡¯s ear.
At the same time, Adrian, noticing that Addison¡¯s head had been suddenly blown up by Dean McKenzie, experienced pupil dtion. Despite this, Adrian¡¯s extensive battle experience ensured his swift response.
Instead of retreating, Adrian pressed forward using the brief gap in Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill set, straightaway activating his skill and rushed at him.
It was a charge that covered a distance of hundreds of meters, bringing him right in front of Dean McKenzie.
Bone Resistance!
Dean McKenzie unleashed the skill directly.
Dean¡¯s body emanated bone energy that bloomed like a lotus, repelling anyone in its path. It instantly struck Adrian.
Like the Great Swordsman who faced this skill before, Adrian was sent flying.
Of course, the Great Swordsman was caught off guard, but Adrian was different.
He had already recognized Dean McKenzie¡¯s power from the Bone Fang that killed Addison. Thus, he had prepared for Dean¡¯s defensive skill.
¡°Explosion Mountain Power!¡±
¡°Heavy Destruction!¡±
As Bone Resistance was activated, Adrian instantly activated his Trait and activated the thir-turn attack skill.
The Wolf Tooth Club in his hand erupted with brilliant light and powerfully smashed down, shattering the Bone Resistance that Dean McKenzie had pushed forward.
The Wolf Tooth Club aimed straight at Dean McKenzie¡¯s forehead.
Still before it hit, Dean activated his Bone Armour.
¡°Pa!¡±
The Wolf Tooth Club hit the Bone Armour, reducing its defensive energy by 40%.
The fact that Adrian was able to smash the Bone Resistance and still have such power showed why he was a thir-turn strong.
The next second, Old Eight directly tunneled from Dean¡¯s shadow to Adrian¡¯s and emerged from his back, stabbing Adrian in the waist with a poisoned knife.
At the same time, the Gate of Bone was activated, and Doggy Two¡¯s Bone King was activated, plunging the enemy into temporary confusion.
By the time Adrian recovered from his confusion, he was already nailed to the ground by Bone Spears.
During the few seconds of his confusion, Dean managed to shoot four Bone Spears at him, pinning his limbs to the ground.
When he woke up, Dean McKenzie added another dozen or so, turning Adrian into a sieve, although he was still barely alive.
Afterwards, Dean simply threw him to the swine maid on the side.
At the same time, Dean summoned all the skeletons through the Summon Skeleton skill andunched an attack on the remaining two hundred elite warriors of the Pighead n!
The battle against the two hundred Pighead Warriors ended within ten minutes.
The entire battle can be described in four words.
Aplete mess!
With the morale of the two hundred Pighead elite warriors gone, Dean¡¯s side mysteriously lost 9 skeletons in ten minutes.
The rest of the skeletons performed rather poorly.
It was mainly because Doggy Two charged to the front and did notmand, and Dean, who wanted to see the strength of his summoned skeletons, gave upmand as well.
That¡¯s why it was such a poor battle.
The skeletons had no coordination whatsoever.
But what pleased Dean was that Doggy Two, Old Six, Old Eight, and the Shield Warrior Old Four and Archer Old Nine, whom he valued more, all performed well.
Especially Old Six, who while usually engrossed in underworld architecture, fought ferociously.
A Small Nether Fire Rain unleashed arge wave of casualties.
The only problem was that its power was too great, resulting in a few corpses almost being burned to nothing. Thankfully, Dean noticed in time, otherwise, twenty or thirty corpses would have been lost.
This batch of Pighead n members were intended for Dean to use to enhance his skills.
Previously, having his Bone Resistance shattered by Adrian was something that Dean was unhappy about.
This was his only defensive backup skill. How could it be so poor?
It must be improved!
As soon as the battle was over, Dean let Doggy Two and the others clean up the battlefield while he started the skill enhancement process.
[You¡¯ve activated the skill enhancement for Bone Resistance!]
[Please note, this is a second-turn skill, which requires two Grant Quotas to enhance. Do you wish to continue the enhancement?]
¡°It¡¯s a rip-off?¡±
Dean McKenzie was dissatisfied but had no choice but to proceed!

[Since the Trait Level of[Nether Thunder Power]cannot exceed the Skill Level, the Skill Trait Level gained a trait, current Quality[Rare]!]
[Your skill[Bone Resistance]enhancement is sessful!]
The countless system prompts in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes basically depicted the entire process of his Bone Resistance enhancement.
At the end of the system prompts, Dean McKenzie¡¯s skills were also enhanced.
Skill: Bone Resistance (Second-turn) (One-time enhancement)
Skill Level: 1
Mana Consumption: 10000
Effect: The skill can charge normally and be instantly activated when needed, causing damage equal to Spirit times 8 plus 11000, and a knockback effect on enemies, pushing them twenty-five meters away. Needs to be recharged after each use.
Skill Trait: Nether Thunder Power (1 Level) (Rare) (Skill burst adds fifty percent Nether Thunder attribute damage, twenty-five percent chance of causing paralysis effect on enemies)
Looking at these attribute descriptions, Dean McKenzie, who had originally felt a little pain in his heart for spending 475 Gold Coins in one go, suddenly wasn¡¯t hurt anymore!
¡°This skill is kind of broken!¡±
Dean McKenzie estimated it a bit by himself.
¡°My Spiritual Power is now around 940. Once activated, the base damage can reach up to eighteen thousand, plus the fifty percent from Bone Control and fifty percent from Nether Thunder Power, won¡¯t this damage exceed thirty thousand?
Even if it¡¯s a level 80 Thir-turn existence, as long as it dares to get close to me, I dare to p it to death!¡±
Except for being satisfied with the power of this skill, Dean McKenzie noticed one thing when he upgraded the[Bone Resistance], that is, the Trait could be upgraded.
The outstanding trait[Nether Thunder Power]absorbed 300 Elite Essence and was directly upgraded to a Rare trait.
¡°If there is enough Elite Essence, can Nether Thunder Power continue to be upgraded?
Let me calcte, it took 300 Elite Essences to upgrade from Excellent to Rare. To upgrade beyond Rare, it should take at least 3000 Elite Essences, right?
And that¡¯s just for upgrading the Quality, not the Level.
Although the Trait¡¯s effect will also improve as the Quality does, as far as I see it now, the cost-performance ratio doesn¡¯t seem much better than directly upgrading it, does it?
Forget it, there¡¯s no Trait that needs to be upgraded for now, I¡¯ll just use it as it is.
Now is not the time to focus on this!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, his gaze fell on the Pighead n member named Adrian, who was standing nearby.
Though Adrian has more than a dozen of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spears inserted into him, he was still alive because none of those spears hit his vital parts, and also due to the Pighead n¡¯s natural strong vitality.
Before, Dean McKenzie handed him over to the maid pig, who was currently interrogating him.
¡°Are you confessing, or aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°Confess what?!¡±
¡°ying tough, huh? I¡¯ll see how tough you are!¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
¡°Are you confessing, or aren¡¯t you?¡±
¡°What do you want me to confess?!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll make you talk!¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
At first, Dean McKenzie thought the maid pig seemed pretty good at interrogation, as she tormented Adrian back and forth between life and death.
But as he watched, something felt wrong, though he just couldn¡¯t put his finger on it just yet.
Before Dean McKenzie could figure out what was wrong, Adrian, the Pighead n member over there, was utterly enraged.
¡°Confess or not, confess or not, confess or not, what you want me to confess, you should just ask!
How am I supposed to confess if you don¡¯t ask?
Whimper!¡±
Poor Adrian, a tough and resilient Pighead n member, had actually been frustrated to tears by the maid pig.
The maid pig was also stunned, turning her head to look at Dean McKenzie in a bit of a daze.
¡°Ah¡ What should I ask?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±
Dean McKenzie came up, drove the silly-looking maid pig away, and began the interrogation of Adrian.
Thanks to the maid pig¡¯s prelude, Adrian was quite cooperative with Dean McKenzie¡¯s interrogation and basically told him everything he knew.
Before long, Dean McKenzie had learned all the information he wanted to know from Adrian.
ording to the information provided by Adrian, the Becky family has a total of 10 Thir-turn powerhouses, of which 5 have perished, leaving only 5 left.
The one that caught Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention the most was their n leader, Albert Becky.
The maid pig¡¯s information was once again confirmed, the enemy was indeed a Rare Quality Earth Warrior of level 80.
ording to Adrian, Albert Becky alone could defeat the remaining 9 Thir-turn members of the Becky family.
Additionally, Dean McKenzie received a piece of news that left him agape..

Just recently in Tempest Woods, the Stormhammer, who had barely emerged before it got taken down, was also a thir-turn strong hero of a rare quality temte.
And it was rumoured that his strength was on par with Albert Becky¡¯s.
Upon hearing this news, Dean McKenzie was stunned.
¡°So that guy was that impressive? But how did he die so carelessly?
Oh, he doesn¡¯t have a brain, so that makes sense!¡±
McKenzie thought of the ckened corpse of the Stormhammer he had seen, and the bottle of used Gold Quality Bone Erosion Poison he had found in the room of the Stormde.
So, McKenzie could understand how the Stormhammer died.
Beyond learning about the Becky family¡¯s strength from Adrian, McKenzie also got information about Princess Pig, who he cares about the most.
However, unfortunately, Adrian didn¡¯t know much about the princess.
The only thing he knew was that the princess was likely still alive and imprisoned, but he didn¡¯t know where.
For McKenzie, this news was both useful and useless.
Although he knew that the princess was probably still alive, he had no idea where she was being held captive. Given the size of Pink City, he wouldn¡¯t dare to guarantee that he could find her within three months, no, two months, even if the city gates were opened for him.
So, even though he knew the princess was alive, McKenzie didn¡¯t have any particrly good ns for rescuing her at present.
¡°It¡¯s pretty hard for me to find the princess on my own, now my only option is to try to get them to release her voluntarily.¡±
The maid pig doubted McKenzie¡¯s n, ¡°Have them release the princess voluntarily?
That¡¯s impossible! The people of the Becky family won¡¯t agree!¡±
¡°If they don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll fight them until they do!¡±
McKenzie said aggressively, so his gaze turned toward Pink City.
He now had a vague idea in his mind.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he killed Adrian who was now useless to him.
He didn¡¯t waste Adrian¡¯s corpse either.
Just as he had leftover elite monsters in reserve, McKenzie used Adrian and over a hundred other elite monsters, along with a bit less than two hundred gold coins from his pocket, to enhance Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Eruption.
This skill also gave McKenzie quite a surprise.
Skill: Bone Eruption (Second-turn) (One Enhance)
Level: Level 1
Consumption: 1000 (Spirit Power)
Base: After activation, all attributes increase by two hundred percent, and attack increases by 5500,
Trait: Explosive Bone Power (After activating, it can increase attacks by two hundred and five percent)
Skill Duration: 15 seconds
PS: After using this skill, the user will enter a weak state for three days.
McKenzie didn¡¯t expect that he simply didn¡¯t want to waste an excellent essence, and it unexpectedly gave him a significant boost in the forting battle.
You must know, Doggy Two¡¯s strength was already exaggerated after its evolution.
In a desperate state, it could increase all its attributes by one hundred and fifty percent.
Now it¡¯s even more terrifying!
McKenzie let Doggy Two try this skill.
After Doggy Two used the Bone Eruption skill and summoned the Bone Throne, its attributes reached a terrifying level.
Before using it: Strength: 303.6 (80), Agility: 98.9, Physique: 60.9, Spirit: 60.9
Attack: 304.6 (80)
Defense: 60.9
Spirit Power: 1530
After using it
Strength: 910.8, Agility: 296.7, Physique: 182.7, Spirit: 182.7
Attack: 14777 (80)
Defense: 182.7
Spirit Power: 530 / 1530
The other attributes are okay, but the attack is simply astounding.
McKenzie turned on the Bone Armor and let Doggy Two test it. After just two hits, McKenzie¡¯s Bone Armor was wrecked.
It¡¯s terrifying!
Old Eight, who had been hiding in the shadow of McKenzie and had been wanting to take revenge every day since he was beaten by Doggy Twost time, was trembling in terror.
But after the 15 seconds ended and Doggy Two entered a weakened statesting three days, Old Eight¡¯s gaze at it changed.
After quietly confirming that Doggy Two was truly weak, Old Eight sneakily changed his position from McKenzie¡¯s shadow to Doggy Two¡¯s shadow.
Of course, as the owner, McKenzie was well aware of Old Eight¡¯s movements and knew what he was nning.
However, McKenzie didn¡¯t say anything.
Among the ¡°dogs¡±, McKenzie always took aissez-faire approach.
Besides, Old Eight couldn¡¯t harm Old Two anyway.
If it wanted to take advantage of Old Two¡¯s weakness, let it. As long as it doesn¡¯t cry when Old Twoes out of the weakened state, it¡¯s fine.
After enhancing Doggy Two, McKenzie summoned the nine skeletons that had just been killed, gaining 90 proficiency points.
Upon seeing the 90 proficiency points, McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but focus on the Summon Skeleton skill.
Well, as of now, the only way to upgrade the Summon Skeleton skill seems to be by summoning skeletons. Summoning a normal skeleton grants one proficiency point, while directly summoning an elite skeleton grants ten proficiency points.
McKenzie¡¯s Summon Skeleton is currently at level 4. Due to two enhancements, the proficiency required for leveling up has increased significantly. Now he needs 10,000 proficiency points to level up.
In other words, he needs to summon at least ten thousand ordinary skeletons or one thousand elite skeletons to upgrade to level 5 before continuing to level 6 for third enhancement.
He needs to use thousands of skeletons as cannon fodder..

¡°Sigh, it feels a bit wasteful to simply use the skeletons as cannon fodder. Plus, when they die, it rebounds on my spirit. Although the bacsh isn¡¯t much for one skeleton, it bes shocking when there are many dead skeletons.
Exiling them wouldn¡¯t cause any bacsh, but it would also consume spirit and
mana.
Perhaps it¡¯s because the ce of exile is too far away.
Well, if I could exile them somewhere nearby, it might save a lot of effort.
On the side, the Pighead maid chimed in: ¡°What do you mean by exile? You want to toss your skeletons somewhere far away? Why? Is there no room left in your Land of Bone?¡±
¡°Get lost, none of your business. When I¡¯m talking about the castle gate, you¡¯re discussing the arm¡ hang on, the Land of Bone, yeah, can I exile the skeletons in the Land of Bone?¡±
While Dean McKenzie wasining about the maid, he suddenly realized
that this might be a viable strategy.
¡°If this works, I can toss the skeletons into the Land of Bone and let Doggy Two take control of them. Then, wouldn¡¯t I have a chance to assemble a Level 41
Skeleton Army?¡±
The thought excited Dean McKenzie.
He could already see himself waving his hand, then Doggy Two waving his hand, and a huge strong Skeleton Army charging forward!
Dean McKenzie immediately returned to the Land of Bone to try exiling a skeleton.
In the midst of Dean McKenzie¡¯s nervous anticipation, the exile waspleted, and the skeleton remained in the Land of Bone.
It worked!
Dean McKenzie was exhrated.
At least, he had seeded halfway. The other half depended on Doggy Two.
He was still in a weakened state and temporarily couldn¡¯t use any skills, nor could he control the skeleton.
But that was not a big deal.
After three days, Doggy Two would be ready for action again.
By then, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Army n could officially begin!
He could also rapidly increase his Summon Skeleton skill.
¡°It¡¯s a full day¡¯s harvest, let¡¯s wait for tomorrow.¡±
Dean McKenzie said, looking in the direction of Pink City.
He had given the Becky family in Pink City a day to hand over Piggy Princess.
¡°Although it¡¯s unlikely that they will hand over the princess tomorrow, I still have to go, just to exert a little more pressure on them.¡±
By now, Dean McKenzie had a clear n on how to rescue the princess.
It¡¯s probably not feasible to rush in and rescue her.
Not to mention whether he could infiltrate, even if he could, it would be hard to find her. The enemy might even kill the princess in desperation.
¡°So, I have to apply as much pressure as possible on them now.
Force them to hand over the princess themselves!¡±
As for how to exert pressure?
That¡¯s simple.
¡°Doesn¡¯t the Becky family have quite a bit of force outside Pink City?
After today¡¯s events, they should have retracted a substantial part of it. Let¡¯s start by eliminating these forces!¡±
So saying, Dean McKenzie snapped his fingers, getting ready to send Adrian out.
Adrian was nowhere in sight. Dean McKenzie sensed: ¡°He¡¯s not here? Oh, he
was with Old Two!¡±
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie opens the Gate of Bone to call for someone. As soon as the Gate of Bone opened, Dean McKenzie immediately gasped.
He saw Adrian stepping on Doggy Two¡¯s skeletal head, sitting on Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne in the Land of Bone, giving off an aura of defiant audacity.
¡°Doggy Two is just weak, not useless!
In doing this, Adrian is totally burning his bridges!¡±
Dean McKenzie felt that he could already foresee Adrian being disassembled
intoponents.
Then, under the infinitely grateful gaze of Doggy Two, Dean McKenzie reluctantly called out Adrian and sent him on his task.
The whole of the next day, Dean McKenzie was busy.
He scattered all his skeletons on the way back to Pink City, setting up an ambush.
Any Pigheads heading to Pink City were apprehended by Dean McKenzie.
In a day¡¯s time, Dean McKenzie had once again filled his dungeon.
Old Six worked overtime and created a new one, which Dean McKenzie also filled more than halfway.
Quickly, a day passed.
Once thergely upied Dean McKenzie finished up, he set off towards Pink
City.
A few hundred meters outside Pink City.
Dean McKenzie stood there tantly.
On the Pink City side, they had been waiting for Dean McKenzie since early morning. As soon as he appeared, news of his arrival was sent to the Becky family.
Albert Becky arrived at the city gate immediately.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Dean McKenzie pinning the corpses of Addison and Adrian, two Pigheads, to the city gate with Bone Spear.
At the same time, he heard Dean McKenzie¡¯s calm, indifferent voice.
¡°Time¡¯s up. Have the pigheads in the Becky family decided whether they want to hand over the Third Princess or not?¡±
¡°Human, you want the Third Princess, right?¡±
Albert Becky¡¯s voice sounded, drawing Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention.
As Dean McKenzie looked over, a cold smile appeared on Albert Becky¡¯s face:
¡®TH fulfill your wish!¡±
Almost immediately as Albert Becky¡¯s words sounded, a pink Pighead was pushed onto the city wall.
¡°It¡¯s the princess! It¡¯s the princess!¡±
The maid pig, who was secretly observing through the Gate of Bone at Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, was the first to get excited.
Dean McKenzie was also surprised.
He did not expect the Becky family to bring out the princess on the first day.
Of course, Dean McKenzie did not believe that they would just hand over the princess to him. But at least seeing her was a promising start.
But just as Dean McKenzie was about to rejoice.
A sh of a de on the city wall was followed by a crisp ¡°snap!¡±
Then Dean McKenzie saw the head of Piggy Princess being chopped off.
Seeing this scene, Dean McKenzie was instantly dumbstruck. Obviously, he had never expected such a turn in events.
At the same time, Albert Beckyughed out loud: ¡°Human, let me tell you this. In Pink City, only I can threaten others. Nobody threatens me.
Didn¡¯t you want the princess?
Come, her corpse is here. You can take it back!
Hearing these words, and seeing the beheaded corpse, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes gradually became icy cold¡
It¡¯s the end of the month; I need those votes! Remember that scheme where I was saying 200 votes would get an additional chapter?
Chapter 132 - 132: Killing 119 Albert Becky

Instance Dungeon, outside the Pink City!
As the head of the princess pig fell, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face visibly turned cold.
He was considered calm.
The pig-maid behind the Gate of Bone turned red and cried, wanting toe out.
But Dean McKenzie closed the door.
Closing the door, Dean McKenzie¡¯s nce settled on Albert Becky, who was yelling in front of him.
With an icy calm face, he said: ¡°Three days, I give you three days. After three days I better get a living Third Princess. Otherwise, there¡¯s no need for Pink City to exist any longer!¡±
Saying that, Dean McKenzie turned around and calmly left.
Albert Becky watched Dean McKenzie leave. The fists were clenched as if intending to chase after him, but ultimately he refrained, and did not chase after him. Instead, he continued to provoke verbally, attempting to enrage Dean McKenzie and possibly the Hammer of Tempest hiding nearby.
But Dean McKenzie had decided to leave, and nothing that Albert Becky said made any difference.
Not long after, he disappeared from the vicinity of Pink City.
Watching Dean McKenzie leave, Albert Becky turned to look at the First Princess who had appeared by his side at some point: ¡°Your n failed!¡±
¡°Yes, it failed; I too find it strange. Going by the intelligence of the Hammer of Tempest, he must have charged over without thinking after seeing my dear sister dead. But as it turned out, he did not charge out at all.
Including the unsessful turnaround of Stormde, this is already the second time the Hammer of Tempest has surprised me.
Did some foolish guy grew a brain?
Or did this human simply not bring the Hammer of Tempest here this time?
Besides, judging from this human¡¯s performance just now, he must have figured out some things.
This made my good trap fail.¡±
At this point, the First Princess looked at the corpse of the Third Princess, ¡°It even cost you a wife.¡±
With these words from the First Princess, the corpse of the Third Princess was instantly turned into Albert Becky¡¯s wife.
But Albert Becky did not spare a nce and said: ¡°No big deal, it¡¯s just a wife.¡±
Meanwhile, on Dean McKenzie¡¯s side.
After leaving Pink City, he opened the Gate of Bone andforted the pig maid on the other side: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the one they killed wasn¡¯t your princess!¡±
¡°You¡¯re lying, I can tell. That¡¯s our princess, she looks exactly the same!¡±
¡°Just because they look the same doesn¡¯t mean they are!¡±
Dean McKenzie was very certain that the one who died was definitely not the Third Princess.
Part of it was due to his Appraisal Skill revealing something. But more importantly, anyone withmon sense wouldn¡¯t believe it.
If for a whole month they didn¡¯t kill the Third Princess, then the Third Princess must be of value to them.
Otherwise, the Third Princess wouldn¡¯t have survived that long.
It wouldn¡¯t make sense if before they didn¡¯t dare to kill the Third Princess, but now Dean McKenzie¡¯s arrival made them dare to do it.
It also doesn¡¯t count if Dean McKenzie does not have Cali, they brought out the Third Princess to directly cut her down.
Add to this Albert Becky¡¯s provocative words, it was clear they wanted to provoke Dean McKenzie into a rash attack and kill him.
The only thing puzzling Dean McKenzie was the simplicity and crudity of the n.
Anyone slightly smart and patient could resist it.
¡°Why would they use such a trick to deal with me? Do they think I¡¯m such an idiot in their eyes?
Or are they not targeting me?
If it¡¯s not me, then whose brain is so bad?¡±
Dean McKenzie was mumbling to himself, and his eyes fell onto the pig-maid.
The pig-maid had tears in her eyes and red at him: ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Dean McKenzie shook his head.
The pig-maid¡¯s brain definitely was not functioning, but her power was also low, so they wouldn¡¯t go to all this trouble for her.
There was another one with bad brain power and enough power, but he was already dead.
¡°Wait, after wiping out the Stormde, I passed through hundreds of miles to reach here, the Pink City. Along the way, I pretty much killed everyone I encountered.
Yesterday, I even intercepted and killed or captured those who wanted to return.
This means that it¡¯s possible he still doesn¡¯t know about the news from Tempest Woods.
They must have thought that the Hammer of Tempest was still with me at this moment.¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, then that makes sense.
No wonder Albert Becky was clearly itching to swallow me alive, but never showed signs of chasing after me. He must be afraid that I was setting a trap.
If that¡¯s the case, then maybe I can give it a try!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes shone brightly, a n sprouting in his heart.
Next, Dean McKenzie continued as before.
Surrounding the point and aiming at the aid.
Guarding the traffic arteries leading back to Pink City, Dean McKenzie hit all the pig heads that wanted to return to Pink City.
In two day¡¯s time, Dean McKenzie aplished impressive results. Old Six¡¯s two new dungeons were full, holding almost a thousand Elite Monsters, among which were even 9 Excellent Beasts.
Old Six was overworked but still couldn¡¯t keep up with Dean McKenzie¡¯s pace of stuffing in people.
In the end, Dean McKenzie took a look himself and, seeing that it really couldn¡¯t be stuffed anymore, switched to killing.
Beat down for money!
Extraction for attribute improvement and talent proficiency.
Just as well Dean McKenzie had just enhanced two skills consecutively, spending almost all his money. So, he need to prepare some money for further enhancing the [Meditation] skill.
However, Dean McKenzie fought for almost a day, wiped out more than a dozen hundred-men squads, and ended up with less than 100 gold..

Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but sigh once again, making money is hard!
Although he didn¡¯t earn much money, he did collect hundreds of Elite Temtes.
At the moment, Dean has thousands of Elite Temtes at his disposal.
More importantly, Doggy Two finally recovered from its weak state.
Dean waited for three days, painstakingly helping Doggy Two recover, and the moment he did, Dean opened the Gate of Bone intending to enter.
But before Dean could step in, Old Eighted dashed past him even quicker.
With a ¡®ng¡¯, Old Eight rushed in, uncontroble.
As soon as he entered, he bolted out in terror, as if he saw a ghost.
Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t make it.
In the Land of Bone, Doggy Two rules.
The ¡®Bone King¡¯ skill directly covers 500 meters around the Bone Throne, and even if Old Eight were to hide in a shadow, he would still be dragged out.
¡°Why resist?¡±
Dean, shaking his head, stepped into the Land of Bone with a smile on his face.
Upon entering, he saw Old Two dismantling Old Eight.
With his mouth clicking and his Pupil Fire flickering at Dean, Old Eight, pinned to the ground, was apparent in his intentions.
Dean could understand at a nce what Old Eight was trying to do.
He was begging Dean for mercy.
He said he had contributed to the development of their owner, even shed blood for it, and pleaded Dean to save him.
Before Dean could say something, Doggy Two became furious!
Who else hasn¡¯t contributed to the development of their owner? Who hasn¡¯t shed blood for him?
Doggy Two didn¡¯t plead for help when it got beaten up, so why should Old Eight be entitled to cry for help?
Doggy Two tackled him even more fiercely.
In no time, Old Eight was reduced to pieces.
Old Two even ced him beneath the Bone Throne, andfortably sat on it.
Throughout the process, Dean simply watched with amusement, maintaining a neutral stance.
Just like how he didn¡¯t help Doggy Two thest time, he wouldn¡¯t intervene to help Old Eight this time either.
As long as their actions don¡¯t cross the line, they¡¯re free to do whatever they wish, as long as they don¡¯t interrupt Dean¡¯s own ns.
¡°With Doggy Two awake, my Skeleton Explosion n can finally begin!¡±
Dean said as he banished all skeletons under hismand, except for numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 9.
As soon as Dean banished them, Doggy Two, leaning on the Bone Throne, used ¡®Bone King¡¯, and they all became Doggy Two¡¯s skeletons.
¡°The n is feasible!
Doggy Two can take control of skeletons, and the cost isn¡¯t high on my end. We can summon arge number of soldiers!¡±
Seeing Doggy Two sessfully taking control of the skeletons, a burden was lifted from Dean¡¯s heart.
He began a frantic summoning spree.
He summoned 20 skeletons in one go and banished 15, then continued summoning.
This time, Doggy Two didn¡¯t use ¡®Bone King¡¯ immediately.
Under the effect of the Bone Throne, ¡®Bone King¡¯ could cover 500 meters. Using it on just 15 skeletons at once would be wasteful.
So, Dean had circled a plot ofnd in advance to ensure the skeletons wouldn¡¯t leave.
He then continued stuffing the area with skeletons.
A single skeleton consumed only 30 Mana points. To Dean, the cost was virtually negligible.
With his over ten thousand Mana points, Dean couldfortably summon between four to five thousand skeletons.
Especially when considering the Spirit Spring was nearby.
The only hassle was having to banish a bunch of skeletons after every batch of 15 was summoned.
But once he got the hang of the quantity to manage, it wasn¡¯t too bad.
In less than three hours, Deanpleted the summoning of 1,000 skeletons.
Basically, he put all the Elite Temtes in his hands to good use.
The system announcement refreshed at this moment.
[Your skill ¡®Summon Skeletons¡¯ has leveled up, current skill level 5!]
Skill: Summon Skeletons +1 (Second Enhancement)
Level: 5 (0/50000)
Incantation: Bone servant of the Undying, Explore the truth of Death
Basic Ability:
Summon: Summon 5 level 45 Undead Creatures (Skeletons) all at once
Temte Upgrade: Use temtes to directly upgrade the temte for the Bone Series skeleton.
Current Temte: 30 (Elite)
Simultaneous Existence: 5/20
Mana Consumption: 40
Skill Traits: (details omitted)
Previously, when he leveled up from level 3 to level 4, the summoned skeletons¡¯ level went from 41 to 43. Now that he¡¯s reached level 5, the skeleton level has increased from 43 to 45.
Of course, to Dean, a level difference of one or two isn¡¯t much of a big deal.
If he could level up to 6, which opens the third enhancement, they¡¯d be terrifying.
Dean checked ¨C to level up from 5 to 6, he¡¯d need 50,000 proficiency points. Without any temtes, Dean would have to summon around 50,000 skeletons.
¡°It¡¯s a long road ahead, but being able to summon 50,000 level 45 second-turn skeletons all at once is a powerful force.
If released, they¡¯d be a formidable Wraith Scourge.
Yeah, let¡¯s keep going. Aim to level ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ up to 6!¡±
Dean continued to frantically summon skeletons, looking as if he intended to fill the entirend with skeletons and level ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ up to 6 directly.
However, Dean had to stop soon.
The main reason was, they couldn¡¯t handle it anymore!
It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t keep up, nor could Doggy Two, it was the Land of Bone that couldn¡¯t handle it.
The Land of Bone was the lowest level Secret Realm.
Its realm was small and its level was low.
The number of skeletons it could amodate was also limited.
When Dean pushed the skeleton count to over three thousand, it had reached the Land of Bone¡¯s limit.
When we say ¡°capacity¡±, we don¡¯t mean the Land of Bone can¡¯t hold them anymore.
It¡¯s not that it couldn¡¯t hold anymore, but that it couldn¡¯t provide enough energy.
Yes, energy supply.
The summoned skeletons were time-limited. If Dean doesn¡¯t give them reinforcements, given the current level of ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯, they wouldst only 6 hours..

After six hours, they would either copse or be dismissed.
But after being tamed by Doggy Two, the Land of Bone could provide these skeletons with energy, sustaining their existence.
However, the maximum amount that could be sustained was only three thousand.
And this was only achievable by sacrificing the birth of new skeleton energy to ensure the supply of 3,000 skeletons.
Any more than that, and the Land of Bone wouldn¡¯t be able to support it.
Of course, this only means that Dean McKenzie can¡¯t store more than 3,000 skeleton soldiers for long.
If he wanted to keep improving his skill proficiency, it actually wasn¡¯t a big issue.
He just had to get rid of the skeletons.
Even continuing to summon them in the Land of Bone would be fine.
If the energy of the Land of Bone couldn¡¯t sustain them and the skeletons copsed, it didn¡¯t affect Dean McKenzie, even if he didn¡¯t banish them.
Regardless, Dean McKenzie stopped nheless.
On one hand, if he couldn¡¯t explode soldiers, it would be somewhat wasteful.
On the other hand, he had been summoning for several hours and was a bit tired, it was time for him to rest.
The next thing he had to do¡ it was something important.
After a short break, Dean McKenzie began to busily prepare once again.
He attacked the Pigman n¡¯s hundred-man team once again.
Except this time, he didn¡¯t kill them outright. Instead, he took them captive and imprisoned them all in one ce.
He interrogated them.
After the interrogation, he ughtered the entire hundred-man team.
Once done, Dean McKenzie led his team away.
After the team left, one of the hundreds of corpses opened its eyes.
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie attacked a few more hundred-man teams, each of them leaving one or two survivors.
These lucky ones staggered their way and delivered the message to Pink City.
In the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.
Albert Becky and the Grand Princess met the lucky ones who survived Dean McKenzie¡¯s attack.
From their mouths, they received several pieces of information.
First, the Storm Legion had indeed arrived.
The Legion was active about 20 to 30 miles outside of Pink City. Their numbers weren¡¯t many, no more than a thousand, and their range of activity wasn¡¯trge either.
They were focusing on the main routes back to Pink City.
Additionally, an even more important piece of information came from the mouth of these lucky ones: The Storm Legion seemed to be interrogating about the antidote to the Bone Erosion Poison.
From this limited information, Albert Becky and the Grand Princess both spotted an important piece of the puzzle.
¡°It seems that the n of the Storm Legion was not aplete failure, the Storm Hammer must have been poisoned.
I wondered why he could endure it before, but it seems that he really didn¡¯te here at that time.
Looking at the recent actions of the Storm Legion, the poison in the Storm Hammer must be quite severe.
Otherwise they wouldn¡¯t be so frantic looking for an antidote, and they wouldn¡¯t let these people escape.
Also, that human said he woulde over yesterday, and his failure to do so must also have been due to this issue.
If the Storm Hammer dies, he will not have any confidence to confront us.¡±
The Grand Princess made the summary after integrating the information.
Albert Becky was also ready to take action.
¡°Even if the Storm Hammer is not dead, they are unable to confront us now under these circumstances.
Can I act now?¡±
¡°Go! Kill the brute now, don¡¯t give them any chance to turn the tables!¡±
¡°Right away!¡±
Soon, Albert Becky, who had been waiting for days, sprang into action and readied his troops.
He led all four of the three-turn individuals from the Becky family who were left besides him and brought along 500 of the most elite pigman soldiers from the Becky family.
As soon as the Becky family made their move, Elder Eight, who had been lurking outside Pink City early in the morning, immediately returned to Dean McKenzie and delivered this message.
¡°The fish took the bait!¡±
Dean McKenzie smiled.
¡°Then it¡¯s time to reel them in!¡±
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie led a hundred skeletons wearing the hundred suits of Storm Legion equipment obtained from the Storm Legion warehouse. They retreated towards a canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, a ce Dean McKenzie had scouted out long ago.
This was where Dean McKenzie nned on burying the members of the Albert family.
After setting up in the canyon, it wasn¡¯t long before Albert Becky arrived with his troops, following the trail left by Dean McKenzie to the canyon.
¡°They made their camp in a ce like this? That really is like the idiot¡¯s style!
Men, block the exit!¡±
At Albert Becky¡¯smand, his pighead soldiers blocked the entrance to the canyon.
As for a canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, once the entrance and exit were blocked, there was essentially no escape for those inside.
What does it mean to catch turtles in a jar? This is it!
After blocking the entrance did Albert Becky lead his men into the canyon.
And as he entered, he saw Dean McKenzie with his men, ready and waiting.
But Albert didn¡¯t take Dean McKenzie seriously.
¡°Human, where is the Storm Hammer? He¡¡±
¡°He¡¯s dead!¡±
¡°Dead?¡±
Albert Becky was taken aback.
It wasn¡¯t just the news of the Storm Hammer¡¯s death that surprised him, it was also Dean McKenzie¡¯s candidness.
¡°Yes, he¡¯s dead. He died a few days ago in the Storm Forest.
There¡¯s no Storm Hammer here.¡±
Albert Becky narrowed his eyes, not quite ready to believe Dean McKenzie¡¯s words: ¡°No Storm Hammer? You dare provoke me without Storm Hammer?¡± ¡°Why not? Are you a strong fighter?¡±
¡°Strong? No!¡±
Albert Becky shook his head.
¡°I am not just strong, I am extremely strong!¡±
Upon saying this, Albert Becky executed a charging skill, bursting forward, instantly covering a distance of one hundred meters to confront Dean McKenzie head-on. His ferocious face, club held high, was prepared to strike Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie chuckled.
¡°What use is it being strong? The most important thing in the world is to have connections!¡±
Just as Albert Becky lunged at him, the Bone Resistance exploded.
The bone that burst into bloom, like a lotus, hit Albert Becky and sent him flying..

In the canyon!
Bones burst forth, sending Albert Becky flying directly.
This blow, dealing over thirty thousand damage, Albert Becky felt it fully.
If such damage was inflicted on a great swordsman or even one from the Storm Legion, they would be blown to bits in one hit!
But Albert Becky was different.
As a third-turn peak of rare quality.
His strength was horrifyingly imposing.
The same blownding on him wouldn¡¯t kill him outright.
Of course, he wasn¡¯t exactlyfortable, either.
After all, this hit carried ten thousand points of Nether Thunder damage, and he was unlucky enough to trigger paralysis.
The moment hended, a ck electric light shed across his body, paralyzing him entirely.
What was more threatening was that Dean McKenzie had already calcted where he wouldnd.
25 meters, that¡¯s the distance Bone Resistance pushed him away.
In this very spot, someone, or rather a skeleton, had been waiting for him for a long time.
Before Albert Becky even steadied himself, Doggy Two emerged.
With Bone Eruption activated, Doggy Two¡¯s all attributes increased by two hundred percent.
At the same time, behind Doggy Two.
The Bone Throne materialized out of thin air.
Doggy Two¡¯s all attributes increased by another fifty percent.
This all happened extremely fast. In an instant, Doggy Two had transformed from an excellent, second-turn, level 45 little skeleton to a formidable Bone King.
The fierce aura that burst from him went straight for Albert Becky¡¯s head.
Moreover, Doggy Two was currently wearing the standard Storm Legion set.
Albert Becky couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.
¡°You told me Storm Hammer was dead,
No, you¡¯re not Storm Hammer, who the hell are you!¡±
Doggy Two didn¡¯t bother to answer, of course, Doggy Two couldn¡¯t speak either, so heunched an all-out attack.
Facing Doggy Two¡¯s assault, Albert Becky could only hastily defend. Under the paralysis from the Nether Thunder, his movements were many times slower than usual.
His body was like a robot with its strings severed, frozen and unable to move.
Before he had a chance to respond, Doggy Two¡¯s attack had alreadynded on him.
Bone Cross Chop (One-turn) (Level 2) (Consumes 100 spirit power, deals a double attack with twice the strength plus 500 attack power!)
The other boosts were just a bonus.
Only this double attack was truly terrifying.
It directly doubled Doggy Two¡¯s formidable 14,000 attack power.
The Bone sword in his hand shed a ferocious cross-shaped wound onto Albert Becky.
Albert Becky¡¯s belly was cut open, his innards spilling out.
But even so, Albert Becky was still tenaciously clinging to life.
He even let out a roar, activating a skill.
¡°Earth Embrace!¡±
Instantly an earthy yellow glow lit up around Albert Becky, covering his ghastly wounds.
Importantly, the paralysis on him was even instantly removed at this moment.
The recovered Albert Becky immediately raised his Wolf Tooth Club, ready to strike.
But before he could swing it, Doggy Two activated the Bone King ability right as Albert lifted his club the highest, even ready to erupt with spirit power.
With a wave of the Bone King and the enhancement from the Bone Throne, even the terrifying Albert Becky, a rare quality level 80 entity, was thrown into chaos.
Doggy Two seized this opportunity immediately.
Hended a Heavy Strike on Albert¡¯s groin, kicking him hard enough to bend over.
At this moment, Old Eight, who had been hiding in Albert¡¯s shadow for a long time, sprang out. As Albert bent over, Old Eight plunged his poisoned pighead dagger into Albert¡¯s colon.
Hisss!
All the males in the audience couldn¡¯t help but suck in a cold breath at this sight.
The four third-turn pigheads found enough strength to try to save Albert Becky immediately.
What could be said about such behaviour?
Courageous, indeed, but it was somewhat overambitious.
Doggy Two still had 15 five seconds and was still strong.
With one charge, he skewered a third-turn pighead with the Bone Sword, then with a swift sweep, he cut off another pighead¡¯s neck.
In this state, Doggy Two was overwhelmingly powerful.
Third-turn pigheads were like weeds before him.
In no time, the four third-turn pigheads were killed by Doggy Two.
Just as Doggy Two was about to kill thest third-turn pighead, Albert Becky, having recovered from the chaos, turned with a grin and struck Doggy Two on the head with his Wolf Tooth Club.
The moment the Wolf Tooth Club struck, Albert Becky felt the deaths of his four men was worth it.
Trading four exceptional third-turn lives for an exceptional third-turnbat ability, no matter how you looked at it, it was worth it.
It was only after his Wolf Tooth Clubnded on Doggy Two, sending up sparks but not blowing Doggy Two to pieces, instead knocking Doggy Two away, did Albert Becky realize something was wrong.
It was the Bone Throne, the Bone Throne¡¯s death immunity saved Doggy Two.
Unwilling to let it end, Albert was about to continue his assault to kill Doggy Two, when Dean McKenzie, who had been biding his time, finally made his move.
Bone Prison rose from the ground, trapping Albert Becky within.
After nearly ten seconds of preparation, Dean McKenzie finally was ready for this attack..

Trantor: 549690339 I
A bone prison rose, entrapping Albert Becky within.
Albert Becky trembled briefly, trying to break open the bone prison, but found this bone prison far stronger than he had anticipated.
He exerted his strength against the bone prison, which instantly reduced by twenty-five percent.
However, the bone prison would give back twenty percent of its strength to him.
In an instant, Albert Becky estimated that he would need to strike it with his full strength two or three times to break free from the bone prison.
Moreover, he would have to withstand arge amount of retaliatory damage.
Just as Albert Becky was preparing to grit his teeth and burst out from the prison,
A loud ¡°boom¡± echoed around him. Instinctively, Albert Becky looked up to see a hole sted open in the valley above Dean McKenzie.
Following this,rge amounts of water gushed out from the hole!
Only then did Albert Becky remember that there was supposedly a waterfall behind this valley mountain.
At the same time, he realised why Dean had chosen this ce for the battle.
But it was toote. The water fell directly into the valley, sshing all over Albert Becky.
The massive volume of water caused Albert Becky to be encased in it, gradually losing his earth trait.
What was more lethal was Dean seizing the opportunity to kick him when he was down.
One bone spear after another was thrown at him.
Although they were only bone spears, each one inflicted thousands of points of damage.
This amount of damage usually wouldn¡¯t have bothered him, but he was severely injured now. Moreover, Dean¡¯s attacks were aimed particrly at his wounds, even his eyes.
He was doing everything he could to dy Albert Becky¡¯s escape from the bone prison.
Albert Becky gritted his teeth and endured it all.
With an all-out burst, he shattered Dean¡¯s bone prison with just two strikes.
Of course, he also suffered considerable damage himself.
But ultimately, he escaped from the bone prison.
The moment he emerged, he charged straight at Dean.
Snarling, he prepared to tear Dean apart.
As for the Bone Resistance that he had just encountered?
He acknowledged that it was a strong ability, but he didn¡¯t believe that Dean could use it again so soon!
Then, he was forced to believe.
As soon as he charged, Dean¡¯s just-charged Bone Resistance was unleashed once more.
Taking this hit again, an already severely injured Albert Becky was now bleeding from all seven orifices and severely wounded.
Fortunately, this time he was lucky and the paralysis effect was not triggered.
After rolling around on the ground a few times, he was somehow able to stand up again, swaying as he once again charged at Dean.
Facing his persistent offensive will, Dean was almost at his wits¡¯ end and could only send out a Bone Fang.
Seeing the iing Bone Fang, Albert Becky sneered,
¡°I didn¡¯t even care about the Bone Spears, let alone the Bone¡ Oh no, danger¡¡±
¡°Thump!¡±
Although Albert Becky sensed the danger at thest moment,
It was toote.
The Bone Fang pierced his body and instantly froze him into an ice sculpture.
Dean had spent 7000 Mana on this Bone Fang, so its damage was doubled.
With this attack, Dean finally managed topletely kill Albert Becky.
[You have sessfully slew Albert Becky (Rare) (Lv. 80), your level has increased to 45!]
[You have obtained one Talent Grant Quota, you now have one Grant Quota remaining!]
Looking at the system prompt that just refreshed before his eyes, Dean finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
That was tough!
This battle could be said to be his most difficult one yet.
He had practically used every tactic he could think of and even carefully plotted his moves to finally defeat his opponent.
¡°A Thir-turn strong of the Rare Quality is indeed terrifying!¡±
While Dean was eximing, his gaze alsonded on the entrance of the valley across from him.
While Dean was battling, a fight had also been raging on over at the entrance of the valley.
Thebatants were the 500 elite Pighead n soldiers brought by Albert Becky, and Dean¡¯s over 3,000 Lv. 45 skeletons.
The fight was basically one-sided.
The losing side was Dean¡¯s.
The 3,000 plus skeletons werepletely on the receiving end of the beating.
They were suppressed and beaten up by the 500 plus Pighead n soldiers.
In just a blink of an eye, over 300 of the 3,000 skeletons were dead, while only around a dozen of the 500 Pighead soldiers had fallen.
Dean nced at theckluster performance of his skeletons, then at the flow of water from the hole behind him.
Upon confirming that the water wouldn¡¯t flood the valley anytime soon, Dean chose not to intervene, watching as his skeletons fought the 500 plus Pighead soldiers.
This went on for half an hour.
His 3,000 plus skeletons were reduced to under 800, while the enemy¡¯s 500 plus Pigheads were lessened to 200 plus.
Only then did Dean make a move. He didn¡¯t bother with Bone Fangs and simply walked over, killing the remaining Pighead soldiers with regr attacks.
Then Dean quickly cleaned up the battlefield, leading all the glowing points and corpses into the Land of Bone.
He opened all the glowing points.
Because of the elite status of Albert Becky¡¯s Pigheads, the drop rate was rather high.
Out of over 500 Pigheads, Dean got 540 gold, basically one gold per Pighead.
Of course, this isn¡¯t urate¡ªmost of it was thanks to Albert Becky¡¯s huge contribution. He alone yielded 300 gold.
Apart from that, he and the four Thir-turn Pigheads gave out some good valuables.

Trantor: 549690339
These four items, except for the Heavy Destruction skill book, were all contributions from Albert Becky.
Such a peculiar character!
If there were an annual list of quirky individuals, Dean McKenzie would definitely cast a vote for him.
The skill book was for warriors, so it was given directly to Doggy Two.
After learning the skill, Dean looked at it and couldn¡¯t help but contribute to global warming with hisughter.
Skill: Heavy Destruction (Enhanced) (Second-turn)
Level: 1
Consumption: 300 Spirit Power
Effect: After activation, it can burst with strength plus attack multiplied by 5 damage, with a probability of causing a level 1 destruction effect.
Level 1 Destruction (causes 10% of the target¡¯s destruction damage, can directly destroy the opponent¡¯s equipment)
This skill, in the hands of others, might be average.
But in Doggy Two¡¯s hands, it was downright terrifying.
After Bone Eruption, the damage reached as high as fourteen thousand, multiplied by five, Dean dared not even think about the magnitude of the damage.
¡°At this rate, Doggy Two will be the number one power on my team. Even though each burst onlysts 15 seconds every three days, those 15 seconds are terrifying.
I can¡¯t let Doggy Two take over.¡±
Dean hurriedly upgraded one of his own skills to staypetitive.
Fortunately, the meditation technique has already reached level 6 and can be triple-enhanced.
(You have sessfully opened the enhancement of Meditation, you currently have fifteen minutes of enhancement time!]
[You used Talent Extraction on Albert Becky sessfully. You gained 50 attribute points and obtained the rare essence [Earth Guardian]!]
[You consumed too gold & incorporated [Earth Guardian] into [Mana Recovery ¡öWater]!]
[You consumed 400 gold coins & gave 13000 attribute points to [Meditation], making it the direction of enhancement for mana recovery! ]
[You consumed 45 gold coins and [Mana Recovery ¡ö Water and Earth] absorbed 500 high-quality essences!)
[Your skill [Meditation Resistance] has sessfully been enhanced!]
Skill: Meditation (3x Enhanced)
Level: 6 (0/1500000)
Basic Effect: Meditation Recovery (Recovers 15416 mana per minute)
Trait: Mana Recovery ¡ö Water (level 4)
Effect 1: Within 100 meters of a water source, the trait is activated, Meditation will automatically operate, recovering mana at 80% of [Meditation Recovery]
Effect 2: Under the status of trait activation, can sense and enhance skills within a range of spiritual power multiplied by 0.5 meters!
Effect 3: Stepping on the ground, Meditation will automatically operate, recovering mana at 80% of [Meditation Recovery], meanwhile continuously obtaining the same amount of mana defense.
This triple-enhanced Meditation skill astonishes even Dean.
¡°Does this mean that as long as I walk on the ground, I could have virtually unlimited mana?¡±
Dean excitedly tried it out.
Then, Dean realized, he was being too idealistic.
When he exhausted his mana, stepping on the ground indeed rapidly replenished the mana.
But this recovery was not unlimited.
Dean tried, and found that if he stood still, he could only recover once.
The second time he tried to recover, it no longer worked.
Dean had to leave his original ce and walk at least four or five hundred meters to reactivate the automatic recovery state.
Dean figured as much.
His mana recovery couldn¡¯t have been out of thin air, it must have been by absorbing the power of the Earth.
And there¡¯s a limit to this power, Dean definitely can¡¯t just stand in one ce and constantly absorb.
¡°But that¡¯s not a problem, I can walk around and absorb.
Besides, after upgrading the Meditation technique, another benefit is that I can maintain a state of spiritual sensing all the time.¡±
This was a surprise for Dean.
He stood there, with the slightest rustle within four hundred meters impossible to escape his senses.
¡°This feeling is too good, so good that it makes me, er, dizzy!¡±
Dean only managed to hold on for a dozen minutes before he got dizzy.
It couldn¡¯t be helped, being fully aware of one¡¯s surroundings within a four hundred meters radius was, indeed, being fully aware ¨C but having all kinds of information rush to the forefront of his consciousness was rather ufortable.
Without a strong mind to handle it, it was unbearable.
Dean was no exception.
He guessed he¡¯d have to adapt for a while.
Luckily, Dean tried to pull back his spiritual power, keeping it within a radius of only forty meters or so around him. This made it much more bearable for Dean, and he felt his sensing ability had greatly improved.
Dean could even clearly sense that Old Eight was yearning for the Gate of Bone in his shadow.
Obviously, after seeing Doggy Two¡¯s mighty disy, it reckoned that the wind had stopped, the rain had cleared, and its path was smooth again.
The chance for revenge was back!
Dean didn¡¯t know what to say to the creature that bore no recollection of previous fights.
It had only been a while and it had already forgotten how it was dismantled by Doggy Two.
Dean couldn¡¯t be bothered to remind it, but he also didn¡¯t give it a chance to bully Doggy Two.
It¡¯s not that Dean wanted to back Doggy Two, but he had important business to attend to.
Next, Dean dragged Albert Becky along with the corpses of four other thir-turn pighead n members from the Becky family to Pink City.
On the way, Dean regretted not keeping a live thir-turn captive to inquire about the Third Princess¡¯s situation.
Though Dean had sessfully got a hold of Albert Becky, he wasn¡¯t very confident about finding and rescuing the Third Princess.
¡°I can only hope that the Becky family knows where the Third Princess is, and that she¡¯s still alive. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to level Pink City to the ground.¡±
Just as Dean anxiously arrived at Pink City,
An unexpected scene unfolded.
He was still contemting how to find and rescue the Third Princess, but to his surprise, she was already waiting for him at the city gate.
As soon as she saw Dean arrive.
The petite Third Princess rushed over, hugged Dean, with her two meters of height, it was like holding a child, while she eximed passionately and gratefully, ¡°My dear, I thought I would never see you again.
I am overjoyed to see you again!¡±
Being hugged by the Third Princess, Dean was taken aback at first, then he smiled slightly, lifted his head and said to her, ¡°You¡¯re celebrating too early!¡±
Chapter 138 - 138:121 Promotion to Rare Template

Trantor: 549690339 |
Dungeon, Pink City!
¡°You¡¯re getting ahead of yourself!¡±
As soon as Dean McKenzie finished speaking, he activated the [Bone Resistance] skill without any hesitation!
The sudden burst of bone white light with an attack level exceeding thirty thousand,pletely razed everything within a five-meter radius around Dean McKenzie to the ground.
At the same time, the Third Princess who had previously embraced Dean McKenzie with deep affection, appeared out of thin air atop the hundred-meter high city walls, with the explosion of [Bone Resistance].
Blink!
Dean couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the opponent¡¯s skill.
This was a lifesaving trick of any mage.
If she didn¡¯t possess this skill earlier, she would have been killed by Dean¡¯s Bone Resistance.
However, if Dean¡¯s [Bone Resistance] had been a secondter, it¡¯s debatable who would have died.
Because as she was embracing Dean, his ever-active [Perception State] and [Wild Intuition] were sending off frantic rms.
As if every second that Dean spent in her embrace was a sure step towards certain death.
And why? At this moment, when Dean¡¯s gaze fell upon her, the moment his Appraisal Skill identified her attributes, he understood why.
[You sessfully used Appraisal Skill and obtained the attributes of [Avery Pink]. Your Appraisal Skill level has increased, current level: 5!]
Name: Avery Pink
Temte: Pighead n Witch (Rare Temte)
Level: 80
Looking at her attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but to squint his eyes.
¡°I thought Albert Becky was invincible in Pink City, but I didn¡¯t expect there to be someone like you!
Avery Pink?
How are you rted to Elisa?¡±
¡°Avery Pink?¡±
The pig maid who was originally panicked by Dean¡¯s unexpected move looked surprised when she heard this name: ¡°Dean, did you say she¡¯s Avery Pink?¡±
As the maid pig spoke, she looked towards the delicate Pighead.
That Pighead realized that her identity had been revealed and stopped concealment, transforming into another form.
The maid pig looked shocked: ¡°Dean, it¡¯s her, the one who was imprisoned by the old city master for killing the mother of the Third Princess ten years ago!
I can¡¯t believe that this evil woman hase out of the dungeon!
She must have hidden the princess!
Quickly capture this wicked woman!¡±
Look at how anxious this maid pig is, given her reaction, if she were not aware of her own limitations, she would have probably pounced at the first opportunity.
The princess standing atop the city wall didn¡¯t even nce at the maid pig, her gaze permanently fixed on Dean McKenzie.
¡°Human, to my knowledge you never liked my dumb and lowly half-sister from the beginning.
Even though she is considered beautiful among the Pigman n, from the perspective of your human aesthetics, she probably falls into the category of having a face that induces nightmares. Why would you go to such lengths for her?¡±
¡°That¡¯s none of your business, hand her over to me and I¡¯ll spare your life!
Otherwise, he is what awaits you!¡±
As Dean spoke, he nailed the corpse of Albert Becky to the city wall.
The moment Dean threw Albert¡¯s body, all the Pigman Guards on the walls of Pink City trembled.
In their hearts, Albert Becky was basically synonymous with invincibility.
They never expected that today, their invincible warrior of Pink City would be killed, his body nailed to the city walls.
Suddenly, a fearful atmosphere spread across the Sky of Pink City, exactly the effect Dean McKenzie had aimed for.
Taking advantage of this moment, he stared at Pink City and said in the coldest and most ruthless voice possible: ¡°If you don¡¯t hand over the Third Princess today, then there is no need for this Pink City to exist anymore!¡±
As Dean spoke, the 800 skeletons behind him advanced by a step, further intimidating the Pigmen of Pink City and increasing their psychological pressure.
Atop the city wall, the Pigmen with low stress tolerance were already shivering.
Even Avery Pink¡¯s face turned white.
But, she didn¡¯t seem ready to ept defeat.
¡°Lord Dean, what benefits has she given you?
Tell me, I can give double, if double is not enough then triple, if triple is not enough, then tenfold!
Even if you like, I could make you the¡¡±
Before Avery could finish, Deanunched a Bone Spear interrupting her.
¡°What she offers, you can¡¯t afford!
Hand her over or die, you choose!¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Upon hearing Dean¡¯s dominant words, Averyughed instead of getting angry.
¡°So you really care about her?
That¡¯s great!
Look what do we have here?¡±
At Avery¡¯s signal, several pig heads walked out with a delicate pig head captive.
¡°Princess!¡±
The maid pig recognized her.
Avery smirked, ¡°Human, now the person you want is in my hands. Her life and death is under my control, what are you going to¡ are you insane!?¡±
Before Avery could finish her threat, Deanunched a Bone Spear directly at her.
Avery¡¯s face changed.
She had never encountered someone who broke so many rules.
He didn¡¯t even give her a chance to finish her threat, he simply attacked.
Avery had no choice but to blink away from the Bone Spear.
As shended, Avery roared, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll kill her?¡±
¡°Go ahead, who knows if she is real? I¡¯m not afraid of your threats.. If she dies, I¡¯ll bury the entire Pink City aspensation!¡±

As Dean McKenzie spoke, he freely flicked his Bone Spears.
Avery Evans, though capable of dodging, couldn¡¯t endlessly dodge them.
She stopped by the third Bone Spear, raised her hand, and a Mana Bone Shield erected directly in front of the spear.
But as her mana shield rose, Dean threw a Bone Fang that hit right on.
¡°Bone Fang? Something¡¯s off about this Bone Fang!¡±
Avery could say that she was the first opponent in the battle that she sensed something amiss when Dean¡¯s Bone Fang was thrown and dodged it immediately using Blink.
At the moment of her evasion, the Bone Fang split open, turning into a dense rain of Bone Fangs.
The Bone Fang rain couldn¡¯t do anything to Avery, but Avery was not his initial target.
The Bone Fangs scattered, some of them piercing the Pighead n members shielding the princess and instantly killing them on the spot.
Simultaneously, the figure of the eighth Pighead n member appeared, picked up the Third Princess, and headed towards Dean.
As he approached, Dean cast Appraisal Skill on the Third Princess.
This time, the feedback from the Appraisal skill indicated that the target was indeed the Third Princess.
However, there were still some question marks in the information.
But Dean didn¡¯t think much of these question marks since they were present in the previous appraisal as well, so he allowed the Third Princess to approach.
Unexpectedly, when the Third Princess was close, her tightly closed eyes opened suddenly, her eyes turning red as she gazed at Dean.
At her gaze, Dean felt like his entire brain had been hit with a hammer, causing a moment of dizziness.
He lost consciousness in confusion, standing still on the spot.
At this moment, Avery, who had been fleeing in panic, stopped, a smile of cunning appearing on her face as she raised her hand.
A small meteorite came crashing down atop Dean¡¯s head.
Seeing the situation going bad, the eighth Pighead n member tried to rescue Dean, but was swatted away casually by Avery.
At the same time, the meteorite fell, therge, almost man-high meteorite hit Dean¡¯s forehead.
Only at this moment did the female pighead show its terrifying power.
The attack from this meteorite was more powerful than Dean¡¯s Bone Fangs.
The force was so strong that it exceeded twenty thousand.
Although Dean was protected by the Earth¡¯s Power, granting him a defense of fifteen thousand, it was instantly shattered.
Despite the meteorite dimming significantly after the shattering of the Earth¡¯s Power, it still held tens of thousands of terrifying power as it hit Dean. Even though Dean had an Invisible Shield activated and had a physique of over five hundred, all of it meant nothing in front of this overwhelming power.
With a ¡°stter¡± sound.
The meteorite hit the ground.
And Dean McKenzie? The blood all over the ground foretold his fate.
¡°Dean McKenzie!¡±
As the meteorite fell, the maid pig cried out in despair shortly after her moment of confusion.
At the same time, Avery burst into augh.
Augh that was truly wild.
¡°Stupid humans, where¡¯s your arrogance now, eh? Where¡¯s your wildness now?
Hahaha¡. Stupid humans, stupid humans!¡±
Avery¡¯s wildugh brought the blood-red-eyed Third Princess back to her senses.
The red hue receded from her eyes as her consciousness slowly returned, so did the memory of what just happened.
When she remembered that it was she who controlled Dean leading to his demise, Elisa¡¯s eyes turned red again, and she exploded into a brilliant light. Her humanoid form shrank from the Pighead n form, turning into a human female warrior dressed in ck armor, holding a ck long sword, and with ck hair.
Avery immediately noticed Elisa¡¯s transformation and her wildughter ceased. Her gaze fell on Elisa.
¡°My half-breed sister, you¡¯re using that disgusting and ugly form again.
From your eyes, I can tell that you want to kill me!
But can you do it?
Come on, as your sister, I¡¯ll give you this opportunity. Come on, stab me with your sword,e on!¡±
While talking, Avery even used Blink to appear right in front of Elisa.
Right where Elisa¡¯s sword could pierce.
Clearly, all Elisa had to do was thrust her sword forward to end her, but Elisa couldn¡¯t make a move.
This caused Elisa¡¯s pale face to turn red in anger and frustration, but it was of no use.
Avery dared to act this way because she was confident, after all, she had the upper hand on Elisa over the past month, and hadid countless traps on her.
In the face of absolute power and countless means.
Elisa¡¯s anger and hate were useless. She can¡¯t lift the longsword when she should have.
Seeing Elisa unable to lift her longsword, Avery walked over, gently patted her face, and teased wildly: ¡°Ah, I gave you a chance but you couldn¡¯t make use of it. I gave you a chance you couldn¡¯t use¡.No¡.!¡±
As Avery was running wild, her face suddenly changed, and she subconsciously wanted to use Blink.
But it was toote.
¡°St!¡±
A Bone Fang from 500 meters away pierced through her forehead as she detected the danger and prepared to use Blink.
[You sessfully killed Avery Pink (rare) (Level 80). Your Level has now been raised to 46!]
The system notification refreshed as Avery was blown away.
Meanwhile, 500 meters away, Dean grumbled andined as he walked over.
¡°Damn it, I thought I was cautious enough, but I still fell into their trap. You really can¡¯t underestimate people. Otherwise, it may be fatal at any moment..

s, my Substitute Doll, gone just like that!
And it also left me with a bump on my head!¡±
Dean McKenzie was cursing all the way as he walked over, rubbing his head.
He was still holding the now-ruined Substitute Doll.
While looking distressed, he alsoforted himself.
¡°But it¡¯s okay, this doll was a Level 40 item anyways, and I was Level 45 when I used it, so it was barely viable.
once I level up to 60, or even reach the Third-turn, this thing would be useless anyway.
Trading a Level 40 item for a Level 80 boss isn¡¯t a bad deal.¡±
Though he imed it wasn¡¯t a bad deal, Dean still felt a hint of sadness.
His heart hurt.
Obviously, this self-constion was ineffective. But when he saw the glimmers leaking from Avery Evans, his tears instantly dried up and his speed increased dramatically.
He rushed towards Avery Evans.
From Dean¡¯s point of view, he was headed towards the glimmers left by Avery Evans¡¯ explosion. But from Elisa¡¯s point of view, Dean was charging straight at her.
Ehsa¡¯s face turned red as she gathered the courage to get up and meet Dean.
But she found that Dean had ¡®zipped¡¯ past her.
Within a few steps, he was beside Avery Evans, first using Extraction, then picking up all the glimmers left by Avery. As he did so, he watched Elisa¡¯s every move with a wary eye.
He wondered, where did this maidene from, and was she after his glimmers?
Meanwhile, Elisa turned her head stiffly, and their eyes met for a moment.
This momentary nce left Dean stunned.
The fleeting glimpse revealed an incredibly beautiful face, but before Dean could take a closer look, Elisa suddenly remembered that she was showing Dean her ¡®ugliest¡¯ appearance.
She shrieked in surprise.
She instinctively covered her face with her hands, and quickly morphed back into her Pigman form.
The sudden transformation, in Dean¡¯s eyes, was akin to a beauty queen turning into an ugly hag.
Beneath the stunning beauty previously witnessed, the Third Princess¡¯s Pigman form now appeared uglier than ever.
It took Dean quite a while to react.
¡°How did you morph into that figure just now?¡±
Dean¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. If he wasn¡¯t holding the glimmers, he would have reached for Elisa¡¯s throat and forced her to transform back.
The Third Princess bowed her head, her face filled with shyness and self-doubt, she didn¡¯t dare to speak.
However, her maid, a pig woman, saved her, ¡°The Third Princess¡¯s mother was human, so she can change into human form.
But the Third Princess thinks she looks a little ugly in her human form, so she doesn¡¯t like to use it?¡±
Dean was shocked, ¡°You call that a little ugly?¡±
The Third Princess felt even more ashamed.
¡°Sorry, Mr. McKenzie, I didn¡¯t mean to disgust you!¡±
No, you don¡¯t look ugly, you look really pretty!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have tofort me, I know how ugly I look, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t
ever show up in front of you looking like that.¡±
No, I truly think you look beautiful in your human form!¡±
Dean was earnest in trying to clear up the misunderstanding, but it seemed the Third Princess had no self-confidence in her human appearance.
They misunderstood Dean¡¯s exnation as a testament of his kindness.
While expressing her gratitude for Dean¡¯sfort, she assured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t ask you to marry me again.¡±
The fact was, Dean really thought she looked pretty in her human form.
If the Third Princess had proposed in her human form, Dean felt he wouldn¡¯t have been able to reject her within three turns.
Shamelessly, Dean even asked back, ¡°So, about our engagement¡¡±
¡®¡öRest assured, now that the Becky family and the eldest princess are dead, and so is my father, the matter is resolved, and I won¡¯t bother you again!¡±
¡°No, what I meant was¡¡±
Dean wanted to say more, but he saw the sadness on the Third Princess¡¯s face when she mentioned her father¡¯s death, and he swallowed his words.
The topic ended there, and Elisa¡¯s gaze fell on the chaotic Pink City after Avery¡¯s death, ¡°Mr. McKenzie, thank you so much for saving my life. Can you rest in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion for a while? After I¡¯ve sorted out the aftermath, I¡¯lle to express my gratitude.¡±
¡°Alright, off you go!¡±
Dean nced at Pink City behind him. Admittedly, ruling Pink City would bring massive benefits.
But if Dean really did that, he¡¯d probably be on a slippery slope to falling into the Demon Path, or even bing a Fallen Professional like those from the Bloody Church.
Dean suddenly remembered Anthony.
At once, all sorts of wild ideas left his mind.
In a sense, at this point in time, Anthony was the moralpass in Dean¡¯s heart.
He prevented Dean from losing himself in the pursuit of power and bing a ve to power and wealth.
Then, under the escort of a pig woman, Dean headed towards the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.
After Dean left, the princess picked up her long sword and stepped into Pink City as well.
On Dean¡¯s side, once he returned to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, the first thing he did was to open all five of Avery Evans¡¯ glimmers.
[You have opened 5 glimmers!]
[You have gained 250 Gold Coins!]
[You have obtained the Skill Books [Shape-shifting Skill] [Small Meteorite Technique]!]
[You have obtained the [Pighead n¡¯s Apprentice Wizard Temte]
(Excellent)!]
[You have obtained the [Wizard¡¯s Schr Hat] (Gold) (Unidentified)!]
Five items, all of them valuable.
Dean¡¯s gaze firstnded on the two skills.
Skill: Shape-shifting Skill
Description: Transform the target into any shape you want
Learning Condition: Mastery of Shapeshifting Knowledge
Skill: Small Meteorite Technique
Description: Summon a meteorite to attack a target
Learning Condition: Mastery of me-based Magic Knowledge, Mastery of Meteorite Knowledge
When Dean looked at the two skills, he was afraid that they might have profession restrictions.
The good news was, there were no profession restrictions. The bad news, though, was that it seemed the restrictions were even stricter.
Dean had no idea how to fulfill these two conditions.
Dean had no choice but to put the skill books aside and take out the two gold-grade items he had recently acquired..

[You used the [Appraisal Skill] on [Earth¡¯s Wrath], unfortunately, you failed to identify it!]
[You used the [Appraisal Skill] on [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat], unfortunately, the identification failed!]
[You on¡]
Inside the City Lord¡¯s Mansion in Pink City.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s system prompt keeps refreshing in front of him.
However, at this point, Dean McKenzie can¡¯t actually see the system prompts anymore, he has turned into apletely emotionless appraisal robot.
He wildly used the Appraisal Skill on the two pieces of equipment in front of him as if it didn¡¯t cost him anything.
In fact, for Dean McKenzie, the Appraisal Skill basically costs him nothing.
A level 5 Appraisal Skill only consumes 15 Mana.
With Dean¡¯s tens of thousands of Mana, this amount of consumption is negligible.
Not to mention a consumption of 15 Mana, even 150 or 1500 wouldn¡¯t make Dean frown.
¡°Damn it, I refuse to believe it, I will identify the equipment today no matter what.¡±
Dean McKenzie muttered, flinging his Appraisal Skills at a speed of almost four per second.
Luckily, after reaching level 5, the skill barely requires any incantation, otherwise, it would have been impossible for Dean to make four appraisals in a second.
But even with Dean¡¯s four Appraisal Skills per second going crazy, the two pieces of equipment still justy there.
They emanated a strong aura, as if saying ¡®No matter how chaotic the situation is, I¡¯m immovable¡¯.
Fortunately, even though Dean McKenzie kept failing the identification, the proficiency of his Appraisal Skill was still growing. Otherwise, he would have crumbled under the pressure.
Seeing the rise in proficiency, Dean considered it as a way of leveling up the skill.
Three hourster, the system prompts finally showed something different.
[Your Appraisal Skill level has increased, current level is 6!]
[You sessfully used Appraisal Skill on [Earth¡¯s Wrath], you obtained the attributes of [Earth¡¯s Wrath]!]
[You sessfully used Appraisal Skill on [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat], you obtained the attributes of [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat]!]
¡°Nice!¡±
Dean was pretty satisfied with the results after three hours.
The skill level increased, he identified the attributes of the two pieces of equipment, it couldn¡¯t have gone better.
What¡¯s more, the attributes of these two pieces of equipment were exceptional.
Equipment: Earth¡¯s Wrath (Wolf Tooth Club)
Quality: Gold
Level: 80
Equipment Requirements: Warrior, Strength 1000,
Effect 1: Increase the user¡¯s Strength attribute by 20%, and increase all attack power by 50%
Effect 2: Attached skill Earth¡¯s Power (Three-turn) (Level 2) (After activation, Defense increases by 30000, base Strength increases by 300%)
Effect 3: All warrior skill levels increase by +1 (up to level 10)
Equipment: Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat
Quality: Gold
Level: 80
Equipment Requirement: Mage series, Spiritual Power 1000
Effect 1: Increase the user¡¯s Spirit attribute by 20%, and increase all skill attacks by 50%
Effect 2: Attached special effect [Knowledge is Money] (Can obtain knowledge from the equipment by consuming Gold Coins (Once per day))
Effect 3: All Mage series skill levels +1 (up to level 10)
Looking at the attributes of these two pieces of equipment, Dean deeply felt their power.
Without a doubt, for most professionals, these are two pieces of equipment that can be used for a lifetime.
Percentage enhancement and the skill level increase up to level 10.
It¡¯s a bit much, to be honest.
Dean couldn¡¯t wait to equip them on the spot.
But he couldn¡¯t!
Although these two pieces of equipment have no level requirements, they still have attribute requirements.
1000 Strength and 1000 Spirit.
Neither Doggy Two nor Dean meet these requirements!
¡°Wait, I can meet these requirements!¡±
Dean said, reaching out for a [Rare Temte] in his hand.
Dean originally had two [Rare Temte Fragments], and hebined them with the one from Avery Evans to make aplete [Rare Temte].
Now that this temte was out, there was a problem.
Whom should Dean use this temte for, himself or Doggy Two?
¡°If I use it for myself, based on my previous temte upgrade experience, my Spirit attribute should be able to make a leap, and it might even break through 1000, then there¡¯s hope for me to use the equipment.
If I give it to Doggy Two, it currently has the strongest battle power on my side.
Have you seen its Bone Eruption and Bone Throne skills?
Not only can it fight, but it can also tank!
If it gets its hands on this temte¡
Then what should I use?
Forget it, I¡¯ll give it to myself first, otherwise, Doggy Two is strong, but its skill onlysts 15 seconds every three days, too unreliable, It¡¯s safer to give it to myself!¡±
Dean said, directly using the [Rare Temte] on himself.
[You spent 50 Gold and used the [Rare Temte] on your Spirit attribute!]
[Your Spirit attribute temte has been upgraded to [Rare], your Spiritual Power increases by 120 points, your original Spirit attribute, [Mental Fortitude], has transformed from D-level to C-level!]
[You have upgraded to a Rare temte, receive one granting Quota, currently remaining granting quotas 2!]
Two system prompts and a ray of light rose from Dean¡¯s body. He felt refreshed and full of energy.
Dean quickly opened his attribute panel to take a look.
Name: Dean McKenzie
Job: Necromancer (Excellent)
Talent: Level 3 (12221 / 500,000), High-Quality Talent Stone (0/1)
Chapter 142 - 142:122 Mysterious Item: Epic Heart_2
Chapter 142:122 Mysterious Item: Epic Heart_2
Trantor: 549690339
Level: 46
Trait: Mental Fortitude (C Level) (Offers mental defense at a one hundred percent ratio of one¡¯s spiritual power. Any mental attacks below this figure will be ineffective, while those above it will only have 60% their usual impact.
ps: Any mental attack that exceeds 15 times the upper limit of your spiritual power will ignore this attribute!)
Attributes: Strength: 530.8, Agility: 627.8, Physique: 607.2, Spirit: 1068.4
Magic Strength: 1347.4
Mana: 13488
Looking at his attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help butment, ¡°It¡¯s a shame this trait upgraded sote. If it had happened earlier, my Substitute Doll might not have been destroyed.¡±
The mental blow that Avery Evans used Elisa tounch against him was only just barely able to break through Dean McKenzie¡¯s mental defenses.
If Dean McKenzie had been at C level for his mental trait at that time, he should have been able to withstand that mental attack.
But that¡¯s all in the past now, the Substitute Doll is gone, and there¡¯s no use talking about it.
After checking his attributes, Dean McKenzie immediately wore his first piece of Golden Equipment on his head with tion.
With the ¡®Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat¡¯ put on, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes changed once again.
His Spirit increased by one hundred twenty points, Magic Strength came close to two thousand, and Mana also increased by one thousand two.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie looked and was pleasantly surprised to discover that all his skills, including the enhanced ones, had advanced by a level.
Even more exaggerated was that, with this piece of equipment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill attacks increased directly by fifty percent.
These fifty percent didn¡¯t stack with the fifty percent from his Control over Bones mastery.
And this effect mainly affected Bone Fang, which, after being enhanced to the next level, saw a significant improvement in skill effect:
Skill: Bone Fang (Enhanced 3 times)
Level: 6+1 (122/5 million)
Skill Cost: 4500 Mana Points
Skill Damage: 4 times Spirit plus 9814 times 2
A level 7 Bone Fang had an original base damage of about twenty five thousand.
Add another hundred percent and it goes directly to fifty thousand.
And that¡¯s only the base magic damage, if Dean McKenzie uses double the mana, although the effect wouldn¡¯t be doubled, it would add twenty five thousand more to the damage, taking the total up to around seventy five thousand.
One can say that this piece of equipment directly caused a huge surge in Dean McKenzie¡¯s strength.
But aside from the sudden increase in power, what Dean McKenzie was actually more interested in was the second effect of this piece of equipment.
His intuition told him that if he wanted to learn the Shape-shifting Skill and the Small Meteorite Technique, his hopes might lie in this Effect 2 of his equipment.
¡°It should bepatible with the wizard system. Maybe I can use it to gain the knowledge I need. Let¡¯s give it a try!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he didn¡¯t waste any time in trying to use his gold coins to purchase knowledge.
The moment Dean McKenzie tried, a system prompt popped up.
[This purchase will consume 100 Gold Coins. Do you wish to proceed?]
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes almost popped out of his head: ¡°100 gold coins? Is this a robbery? Shouldn¡¯t there be some basicw to regte this?¡±
He was reluctant, absolutely reluctant!
After all, he only had a little over 200 gold coins left, he couldn¡¯t bear to lose half of it all at once.
But if he didn¡¯t spend the money, Dean McKenzie was also curious.
What kind of knowledge is it that requires 100 gold to purchase?
Eventually, driven by curiosity, Dean McKenzie still ended up spending the 100 gold.
[You have consumed 100 gold and used [Endless Knowledge]. You have obtained [Knowledge on the Delivery and Rearing of Dragons]!]
At the same time, a stream of information appeared before Dean McKenzie, materializing into a brick-sized book in front of his eyes.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw the title, his whole body started trembling.
With trembling hands, he took the book and started to flip through it.
And the moment Dean McKenzie saw the content inside the book, he couldn¡¯t hold back any longer.
This truly was a book teaching how to deliver and raise a dragon.
¡°What the hell am I going to do with this thing?
Am I going to deliver a dragon baby?
If a dragon of pure lineage gives birth, the baby would be at least a six-turn creature, and could be a nine-turn creature. Am I supposed to deliver their baby?
A single sneeze from them and I¡¯d be gone!¡±
Dean McKenzie was fantasizing about getting the prerequisite knowledge for the Shape-shifting Skill and the Small Meteorite Technique from within the hat, but instead this thing popped up.
Dean McKenzie was so angry that it hurt deep inside.
In an instant, more than half of his good mood for the day was gone.
Until Princess Elisa came back.
The next time Dean McKenzie saw Princess Elisa waste at night.
Dean McKenzie was lying in bed, unable to sleep, when Princess Elisa, holding a blood-stained long sword and leading a group of men from the Pighead n, cautiously knocked on Dean McKenzie¡¯s door.
When Dean McKenzie came out to look, he saw that Princess Elisa and her team of Pighead men had brought over a total of ten boxes.
¡°What¡¯s this?¡±
Dean McKenzie asked, looking at the ten boxes, and he had a vague guess in his mind.
¡°This is what we confiscated from the Becky¡¯s family treasure vault. There¡¯s gold, potions, essories, materials, equipment, and books inside!
This is one of my gifts to you, I hope you¡¯ll be pleased.¡±
Hearing those words, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t sit still. He immediately got up and went to check the contents of the ten boxes, without uttering a single word of courtesy.
Out of those ten boxes, two were filled with gold coins; one containing one thousand five, and the other one thousand two, totaling two thousand seven hundred gold coins.
Three boxes were filled with potions; one with Life Potions and one with Mana Potions.
There were only 10 bottles of each type.
But their value was extraordinarily high.
These 20 bottles alone were worth at least one thousand five hundred gold coins..
Chapter 143 - 143:122 Mysterious Item: Epic Heart_3
Chapter 143:122 Mysterious Item: Epic Heart_3
Trantor: 549690339
But none of these ten potions couldpare to the one in the third box.
Even though the third box only contained one potion.
Name: Eternity Agility Potion (Tiny)
Effect: Drinking it will permanently increase Agility by 60 points
PS: A tiny Eternity Potion, each person can consume up to three bottles of each attribute
Dean McKenzie was astounded when he saw this potion, there are potions that permanently boost attributes?
And each person could drink three bottles?
If someone had a ton of money, they could just down one for each attribute, and instantly their total attributes would rise by at least 180.
And this is just a tiny Eternity Potion.
There may also be small, medium,rge, super, and mega versions.
If someone gathered them all and drank three bottles, their attributes would be outrageous.
Dean McKenzie became upset just thinking about it: ¡°So it is said, the most annoying thing about ying a game is these pay-to-win cheaters¡¯.
Doesn¡¯t this ruin the bnce of the game?
What¡¯s the point of their ying for us ordinary people then?
What? You¡¯re talking about Dean McKenzie¡¯s talent?
What a joke, doesn¡¯t everyone have talents?
Although 99.9% of people couldn¡¯t activate them, I am sure everyone has one.
So why say Dean McKenzie¡¯s talent is like a cheat?
He refuses to admit it, he hasn¡¯t cheated.
All of Dean McKenzie¡¯s achievements to date are due to his own hard work!
While he criticized those pay-to-win hackers in his mind, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t hesitate to take the items and put them tn his own belt.
Apart from the first five boxes, the rest of the materials and equipment weren¡¯t bad either, among them were five pieces of silver equipment, though none of them was suitable for Dean McKenzie.
But in the McKenzie household, there¡¯s Doggy Two.
If really no one can use them, Dean McKenzie could sell them for money.
Thest two boxes were filled with books.
The books were quite diverse, containing history, humanities and geography, even novels and stories, most of which were useless.
Dean McKenzie initially thought about discarding them, but then he remembered what Anthony said.
A mature professional should be proficient in reading and understanding history, they should be well-read and knowledgeable.
So, Dean McKenzie decided to keep these books.
As he collected these items, he found a pleasant surprise amidst the misceneous books: two sets of books on ¡°Fire Spell Study¡± and ¡°Meteorite Study¡±.
With the prerequisite knowledge for the Small Meteorite Technique now in hand, all Dean McKenzie has to do next is get through these two sets of books. However, looking at over hundred books in each set, McKenzie felt an instant headache.
He estimated that with these two sets of books alone, he wouldn¡¯t be able to finish them in a few months.
This was the first time Dean McKenzie realized how difficult it is to learn a skill.
But then again, so what?
Who made Dean McKenzie so eager to master the Small Meteorite Technique?
So, with tears in his eyes, Dean McKenzie put the books in his belt where he could easily take them out and read them.
In less than half an hour, Dean McKenzie had counted all ten boxes and collected all their contents.
This one shot made Dean McKenzie significantly wealthier.
Just now, Dean McKenzie was lying in bed because he had spent the unjust 100 gold and couldn¡¯t sleep at night. After collecting these ten boxes of items, he hadn¡¯t slept yet, but already knew that he would sleep very well tonight.
When Dean McKenzie gets out of the instance, he could easily get at least 5,000 gold and possibly even more than 10,000 gold by easily selling the items he currently has in his possession.
He could then easily be the richest man in Spring City.
Dean McKenzie could buy houses in bulk.
Money is the least of the worries.
For his next skill upgrade, Dean McKenzie won¡¯t have any worries at all.
It seemed like the Third Princess didn¡¯t think that Dean McKenzie was happy enough, so after Dean collected the ten boxes of items, she gave Dean something else.
¡°What is this?¡±
Dean McKenzie looked a bit startled at the transparent crystal heart that the
Third Princess had handed over.
Because he couldn¡¯t use his appraisal skill on it.
When he used the appraisal skill, there were no sess or failure prompts, Dean McKenzie knew at once that this must be a great item.
He just didn¡¯t know what made it so great.
Even Princess Elisa didn¡¯t know.
¡°I don¡¯t know what this is, but my father gave it to me, and he said it was a very important treasure. For the past month, Avery Evans has been constantly interrogating me, he wanted to get it from me.
¡°Are you sure you want to give me such an important thing?
Elisa nodded her head heavily: ¡°Yes, Mister McKenzie is my treasurepared to it!¡±
Yikes!
The serious tone of Elisa made her words all the more striking.
Luckily, Elisa was in her pigman form at the moment.
If not, Dean McKenzie was afraid his heart wouldn¡¯t be able to take it.
Dean McKenzie hesitated for a while, but eventually took this crystal heart, but he didn¡¯t take it for free, he gave the Earth¡¯s Wrath as a return gift to Elisa.
He had no other choice, Dean McKenzie had gone through all his belongings and this was the only item worth giving.
As for Doggy Two?
Anyway, its strength is only over 300 now, nowhere near the 1000 needed, by the time it reaches 1000, Dean McKenzie may have already found another gold weapon.
When Dean McKenzie gave the Earth¡¯s Wrath to Elisa and received this heart from her hand, the system alert refreshed.
¡ö¡¯You have obtained the Crystal Heart, you have triggered the epic quest of Goblin Uprising Instance: the Epic Heart!
Quest: Epic Heart
Quest Description: A legend is told in this continent that an epic hero died to save the continent, after his death, his heart shattered into four pieces, turning into four Crystal Hearts,
Legend has it, whoever can collect all four Crystal Hearts will obtain the Epic Heart.
Please collect all the hearts to restore the epic glory.
Quest Reward: You will gain the inheritance of the Epic Heart (Has a probability to enhance the recipient¡¯s temte to Epic Level!)
PS: After triggering this quest, no matter the score of the quest, the instance will continue.
PSS: Also, the reward settlement will improve the reward score based on the Crystal Hearts you hold!¡±
Looking at this system alert, Dean McKenzie was astounded.
He looked somewhatplicatedly at Princess Elisa.
What to do? The gift she gave seems a bit too much, should he repay her with his body?
Although he feels at a slight disadvantage, but if it¡¯s human shape Elisa, he doesn¡¯t mind this tiny loss.
After all, as the old saying goes, to lose is to gain, especially for a man!

Fern City
Trantor: 549690339
In the end, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t achieve what he set out to do.
Three days after the events of Pink City, he hurriedly left for Fern City.
After all, Dean McKenzie has been in the dungeon for around 10 days.
With less than 80 days left, he has to rush thousands of miles to Fern City and find someone named ¡°Crohn Merlin The Dead .¡± Time is tight.
So, he didn¡¯t linger in Pink City.
As for his loss?!
Humph, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t care.
Women only slow down his fighting speed.
He hasn¡¯t forgotten that in reality, people are blocking his way out.
If he spends all his time chasing losses, when he exits the dungeon, he might face something even worse.
So Dean is determined to go!
Although the princess was reluctant to see him leave, she dared not stop him.
She silently prepared everything Dean needed for his journey.
Including but not limited to a rugged Earth Dragon Car that can adapt to any terrain, various food supplies, maps, and so on.
The Earth Dragon Car was packed to the brim.
And they arranged two knowledgeable drivers and guides for Dean.
¡°Time to go!¡±
¡°May the wind at your back blow away all the fog on your journey, may the sunlight illuminate your path, may the moonlight guide you in the direction you want to go,¡±
Under the blessings of Princess Pig, Dean boarded the Earth Dragon Car.
Then, the Pighead driver gently flicked the reins, and the Earth Dragon Car started smoothly and quickly.
The Earth Dragon Car gradually moved farther away, and the princess watched it slowly disappear from her sight.
She then stood on the city wall of Pink City for a day and night before turning to return to the city.
As for Dean McKenzie.
From the moment he sat in the Earth Dragon Car, he embarked on a new journey.
However, this new journey of Dean¡¯s is rtively dull.
Although the journey of thousands of miles is long, Dean, seated in the Earth Dragon Car, doesn¡¯t need to rush on his own.
He has plenty of time every day.
Of course, Dean didn¡¯t waste any of these times.
All the way, Dean was digging into the me-based Magic Knowledge, nning to start with this, and go through it before studying the Meteorite Knowledge.
To read this book, Dean brought back the Schr¡¯s Wind that he had put with Old Six.
With the ring on, Dean just read hard!
So hard until he felt dizzy.
The main reason was the content of me-based Magic Knowledge was from another world.
It¡¯s a series of books written with Mana as the core and me as the object.
Although it seems to talk about mes, it actually conveys a set of theoretical systems with its own practical magic knowledge.
Naturally, even orthodox mages need to get started from childhood and spend more than ten years for enlightenment, and then they can master it after several or even more than ten years of studying it.
Dean, a half-fledged Necromancer, has a hard time even understanding it, let alone mastering it.
Facing this situation, Dean, who doesn¡¯t believe in evil, chose to read it even if he couldn¡¯t understand it.
Whether he understands it or not, whether it¡¯s useful or not, he ns to read it first. If it still doesn¡¯t work, he¡¯ll memorize it.
In such a situation, reading the book is certainly a painful experience for Dean.
So, from time to time, Dean needs to look at some misceneous books to rx his spirit.
Of course, this was only for the first two days. On the third day, it was no longer necessary.
On the third day of the journey, Doggy Two recovered from his feeble state, and Dean could read the book and use the Summon Skeleton skill alternately.
The method of dpression has changed from reading misceneous books to using Summon Skeleton.
Reading on the go and summoning the skeletons.
Although the life was a bit boring, it was fulfilling.
Not only was Dean fulfilled, but the little skeletons in his house also lived a fulfilling life.
There¡¯s no need to talk about Old Six, he studies those buildings every day.
Less than 30 days after leaving Pink City, Old Six was almost out of construction materials.
Then, Old Six started wandering around the Gate of Bone.
He kept suggesting to Dean that he should demolish some other people¡¯s buildings to supplement his materials.
After his suggestion was not adopted by Dean, Old Six had no choice but to go back and dismantle the built buildings and continue building again.
At first, Dean was thinking about whether to get some materials for Old Six.
But when he saw Old Six could use the materials in this way, of course, he decided to be more energy efficient.
While Old Six was busy with infrastructure, Doggy Two wasn¡¯t idle either.
Whenever he has time, he pulled Old Six and mumbled about something they were researching.
At the same time, he picked out a team of skeletons from his skeleton group and started training them.
The precision of the training project Dean saw was extremely high.
It was specifically designed to deal with Old Eight.
Clearly, Doggy Two was preparing for his next bout of weakness after the attack.
While Doggy Two was sharpening his knife, Old Eight was not idly by either.
It was furiously working on refining the Strong Stealth skill.
After leaving Pink City, it used Strong Stealth every 30 minutes.
Under Old Eight¡¯s constant refining.
On the third day after leaving Pink City, he refined Strong Stealth to level 2.
On the fifteenth day, he refined Strong Stealth to level 3.
He has reached Two Forces.
Today, Which is the 55th day since he left Pink City, Old Eight had refined Strong Stealth to level 5.
Level 5 Strong Stealth, although it hasn¡¯t been enhanced yet, the effect has greatly improved..

Fern City_2
Trantor: 549690339
Skill: Strong Stealth (One-time enhancement)
Level: Level 5
Consumption: 100 Spirit Power
Effect: After activation, forcefully enter an invisible state, gain two seconds of invulnerability (you can choose the activation time).
Once ended, you can increase your first attack by 150% damage.
It can be said that in almost two months, Old Eight had the highest skill
upgrade in Dean McKenzie¡¯s team.
The level rose by 5 in two months.
However, the reason Old Eight was able to upgrade so quickly wasrgely thanks to Doggy Two.
Old Eight held grudges but didn¡¯t hold fights.
Every time his skill leveled up, it got inted and would go to Doggy Two for a practice round.
Every time he was beaten by Doggy Two, he woulde out eager for revenge, and his skill proficiency would skyrocket.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie asionally let Doggy Two give Old Eight a few beatings, so Old Eight¡¯s skill level rose extremely fast, almost as if he was flying.
Of course, Dean McKenzie was never present when Old Eight was beaten up.
The principle is the same as having your cat neutered.
Whenever Old Eight was beaten up, Dean McKenzie would be far away, either discussing with Old Six to build a pond for the Spirit Spring or inspecting the building results of Old Six.
As soon as Old Two was done beating Old Eight, Dean McKenzie would call a halt.
Keeping Old Eight¡¯s wrath aimed squarely at Old Two.
Old Two was also willing to cooperate, as it didn¡¯t care who got in trouble as long as it could thrash Old Eight.
Compared to Old Eight¡¯s promotion over these two months, Dean McKenzie¡¯s growth was slower.
In nearly two months, Dean McKenzie just raised one ¡°Summon Skeleton¡±.
And believe it or not, in just two months, Dean McKenzie raised Summon Skeleton to level 6.
The main reason was that level 6 Summon Skeleton required 50,000 experience points.
And without a Temte, each skeleton summoned by Dean McKenzie counted as one point.
Which means, Dean McKenzie needed to summon exactly 50,000 skeletons.
It took almost two months for Dean McKenzie toplete those 50,000 skeletons.
Bringing ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± to level 6, ready to be enhanced 3 times.
However, although the level of ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± didn¡¯t increase much, Dean McKenzie did make other gains.
The most significant one appeared in his attributes.
In a month, Dean McKenzie¡¯s base spirit attribute increased from 1068.4 points to 1143.4, an increase of 75, this was added after his Temte leveled up.
Level 3 Talent, level 10 Rare Temte could add 60 points.
In addition to the attribute increase, in these two months, Dean McKenzie finally managed to learn ¡°me-based Magic Knowledge¡± and ¡°Meteorite Spell Knowledge¡±.
These two knowledges finally appeared on his attribute board.
The two knowledges werebined into arger category, called Magic Knowledge¡±.
Whether it was thisrger category or the two subcategories underneath, all were in a beginner state.
And both came with a progress bar that made him feel despair.
Dean McKenzie estimated it would take him a few years to raise these two knowledges to mastery so he could learn the ¡°Small Meteorite Technique¡±. ¡°Damn, a few years? If I had that much time, I don¡¯t think I would need the Small Meteorite Technique at all.¡±
Dean McKenzie was even ready to abandon this skill.
However, just as Dean McKenzie was about to give up on this skill, he suddenly had a bold idea.
¡°Wait a minute, since they¡¯ve appeared on my attribute board, can I enhance them with talent?¡±
Out of curiosity, Dean McKenzie opened the Talent Grant interface.
Then, surprisingly, on the Talent Grant interface, Dean McKenzie found the option ¡°Magic Knowledge¡±.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Dean McKenzie selected the ¡°Magic
Knowledge¡± option without a second thought.
¡°You have chosen to enhance ¡®Magic Knowledge,¡¯ as it is a special skill, you can choose the enhancement direction.
Knowledge Sublimation
Understanding of Subknowledge¡±
Dean McKenzie skipped the first one and chose the second one.
¡°You have chosen ¡®Understanding of Subknowledge¡¯ for ¡®Magic Knowledge.¡¯
Each subknowledge requires 5 Gold Coins for enhancement.
And each specific piece of knowledge can only be enhanced once every three months!¡±
Dean McKenzie chose to enhance one ¡°me-based Magic Knowledge¡± to test the waters.
After spending 5 Gold Coins and sacrificing 1,000 Level 47 ordinary skeletons through the Gate of Bone,
¡°You consumed 300 Gold Coins, and applied 10,000 attribute points to ¡®me-based Magic Knowledge1 to increase your understanding and proficiency!¡±
¡°Your ¡®me-based Magic Knowledge¡¯ has reached mastery!¡±
Two system prompts updated, and a load of information flooded into Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind.
The overload of information nearly made Dean McKenzie faint.
Fortunately, with a spirit as high as 1,100 along with mental fortitude, Dean McKenzie managed to withstand the brief spell of dizziness.
Next, he began to understand and absorb all the information.
Within half an hour, Dean McKenzie went from not understanding
¡°me-based Magic Knowledge¡± at all to mastering it.
Then he repeated the operation.
By spending only 710 Gold Coins, Dean McKenzie had upgraded both
¡°me-based Magic Knowledge¡± and ¡°Meteorite Spell Knowledge¡± to mastery. After spending a whole two months, Dean McKenzie was finally able to learn the ¡°Small Meteorite Technique¡±.
When he took out the ¡°Small Meteorite Technique¡± book, he was so excited, his hands were shaking.
¡°You used the ¡®Small Meteorite Technique¡¯ Skill Book, you have learned the skill ¡®Small Meteorite Technique!¡±

[Due to your necromancer profession, your [Small Meteorite Technique] has mutated to a certain extent!]
Skill: Small Meteorite Technique (Third-turn)
Skill Level: Level 1+ Level 1
Mana cost: 24,000
Effect: Summons a meteorite, causing damage equal to 15 times the Spiritual Power plus 50,000 explosive damage.
At the same time, when the meteoritends, it causes 20,000 impact damage within a range of 500 meters and sshes out Netherworld mes, causing 4,000 damage per second in that area,sting for 60 seconds.
Looking at the attributes of this skill, Dean McKenzie almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
¡°I knew this skill was so hard to learn, it turns out it¡¯s a third-turn skill!¡±
However, it¡¯s powerful once learned, despite its difficulty.
The damage range reaches up to 500 meters. This could be considered a minor forbidden curse.
The damage is off-the-charts, with the additional damage reaching 50,000.
The only downside is its high cost.
Especially after the amplification level of the [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat] increased to Level 2, Dean McKenzie¡¯s current Mana wasn¡¯t enough to activate it.
¡°Also, my [Small Meteorite Technique] seems to be different from Avery Evans¡¯s one. Hers did far less damage than mine.
It feels like a neutered version of my skill.
How can the same skill be so different?¡±
¡°Never mind, as long as I am stronger!¡±
With the mastery of this Small Meteorite Technique, Dean McKenzie suddenly felt ted.
He felt that all his hard work over nearly two months has paid off.
¡°Indeed, as they say, hard work pays off.¡±
As Dean McKenzie stretched outzily, he stepped out of the Earth Dragon Car.
Upon exiting the car, he immediately spotted the imposing city up ahead, which was his destination for this trip ¨C Fern City!
¡°ording to the Third Princess, that long-named necromancer lives in hiding in this city.
He doesn¡¯t regard necromancer inheritance highly and is willing to pass it on as long as the price is right.
I love it when things can be solved with money!¡±
Dean McKenzie still had more than two thousand gold coins in his pocket to spare.
Learning the Necromancer Inheritance should be more than enough, right?
With that thought, McKenzie confidently entered Fern City.
However, what he didn¡¯t expect was, the moment he stepped into Fern City, a shrill rm sounded.
Before he could even take a look around, the city guards surrounded him.
Dean McKenzie was initially ready to resist.
But before he could act, a man approached.
A middle-aged man dressed in a red robe and holding a scepter walked over.
Seeing the man, Dean McKenzie immediately gave up resisting.
Not because he knew the man, but a sense of danger surged through him as if every pore on his body was screaming a warning.
In front of the man, he couldn¡¯t even harness his mana.
Without a doubt, the middle-aged man was a formidable adversary whom he couldn¡¯t resist.
In front of such a powerful figure, McKenzie was very submissive.
¡°Sir, I am a traveling mage and this is my first time visiting your distinguished city. If there is something I did wrong unintentionally, I hope you can overlook it!¡±
¡°Your foot!¡±
Dean McKenzie was bewildered: ¡°My foot?¡±
¡°Your foot has stepped into St. Vern City, a pure holy city that does not allow filthy and depraved necromancers like you.¡±
¡°Take him to the Heretic Reformation Facility!¡±
The middle-aged man said and a holy light was cast directly on McKenzie.
Wrapped in the holy light, alerts started appearing in front of his eyes.
[You are sealed by the Holy Light, you cannot use spells under the Holy Light Seal!]
Upon which, the soldiers rushed up and threw McKenzie onto the ground, then escorted him to the so-called Heretic Reformation Facility.
The moment he entered, all his equipment was stripped away.
Everything was taken away, including the two thousand-plus gold coins in the Corpse Witch Belt that he cherished so much, except for the [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat], [Crystal Heart], and [Eternal Potion] he had put away before entering the Land of Bone.
When the man who searched him saw the contents of the belt, his eyes lit up: ¡°Well, I didn¡¯t expect such a wealthy necromancer.¡±
McKenzie remained silent, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent as they fixated on the bald head of the ¡®Heretic Reformation Facility.¡¯
What he got in return was a brutal beating.
¡°Dirty vermin, you think you can get out of this ce?
Daring to stare at me with such eyes, you¡¯re courting death! Take him to the innermost cell!¡±
Soon, McKenzie was ced in the deepest part of the Heretic Reformation Facility.
His limbs were chained up, and he was nailed to a cross.
¡°Damn, what the hell is going on!¡±
Nailed to the cross, McKenzie was on the verge of tears.
He could not believe that this was what awaited him as soon as he entered Fern City.
He came here full of excitement, envisaging how he would obtain the Necromancer Inheritance. But as soon as he entered, he got captured.
Never mind the capture. If worsees to worst, he could endure for around twenty days and leave if things became unbearable.
The disaster was that he lost his entire fortune.
Thinking about his lost two thousand-plus gold coins, McKenzie¡¯s heart bled.
He cursed, ¡°Damn it! If I had known this, I would not havee looking for Crohn Merlin The Dead !¡±
Just as he finished cursing, a voice came from nearby, ¡°Who? Who¡¯s calling me?¡±
McKenzie was startled and turned around. He could vaguely see that in the nearby cell, there was a man nailed to a cross ¡ just like him..

Chapter 147:124 Necromancer Inheritance, Level Cleared
Trantor: 549690339
Deep within the Heretic Reformation Facility in Fern City,
Dean McKenzie looked to the side.
He could faintly see a figure crucified alongside him.
Dean was initially startled, but quickly responded, asking, ¡°Are you Crohn Merlin The Dead ?¡±
¡°Crohn Merlin The Dead ?¡±
The figure on the opposite side chewed over this name, taking a while before replying: ¡°No one has called me that in a long time. Here, they all call me Test Subject Number One!¡±
As he said this, Crohn Merlin The Dead , who until now seemed quite okay, suddenly erupted in fury.
¡°Those damned bastards of the Church of Holy Light! They broke into my home, stole my property, dragged me to this hell hole, and subjected me to all kinds of inhuman modification.
Don¡¯t let me break free, don¡¯t let me escape from here, or else I swear I¡¯ll butcher everyst one of that Church of the Holy Light, everyst one!¡±
His words grew increasingly furious, increasingly louder, ultimately breaking out into a mad howl.
Just as his howl reached its peak, a dazzling Holy Light suddenly ignited within the dim dungeon and illuminated the entire space.
¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Ah!¡±
Two shrill screams echoed in unison.
One was from Crohn Merlin The Dead , the other from Dean McKenzie.
The Holy Light shone on Dean, who felt an extreme burning pain within every inch of his skin, every muscle and even within his bones.
Dean had never been tortured before, but he thought that his current state could hardly be differentiated from it.
However, Dean was still in a better conditionpared to the figure beside him, who was the main target of the Holy Light.
Seizing the opportunity of the Holy Light¡¯s glow, Dean turned his head to look at the individual.
As he did so, Dean¡¯s pupils contracted.
The state of that individual was utterly horrific.
His entire body was covered with blistering burns, looking extremely ferocious and in immense pain.
Even so, he remained resilient amidst the substantial Holy Light, gritting his teeth and continuing to curse.
Seeing his condition, Dean couldn¡¯t help but admire the man, despite suffering coteral damage from his ordeal. At least the man was unquestionably robust.
He had actually managed to knock himself unconscious.
As the man passed out, the dazzling Holy Light finally dimmed.
Dean was liberated from his agony.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Dean looked worriedly at Crohn.
He was genuinely scared that the man might be dead.
After all, the man possessed the inheritance Dean needed.
Even in his current state, Dean was still considering the Necromancer Inheritance.
Despite Dean¡¯s worries, Crohn was still alive.
After just over an hour, Dean heard a moan.
Dean let out a sigh of relief, and then called out, ¡°Old man, still alive, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Crohn rolled his eyes in a dispirited manner.
¡°Who are you calling an old man? I¡¯m just 170, still in my prime! I have plenty of time to spend, plenty of life to enjoy, god damn that Church of Holy Light¡Ah!¡±
¡°Here we go again!¡±
Dean¡¯s face darkened as he had to endure the Holy Light again until Crohn passed out once more.
After two rounds of this, Dean had a clue ¡ª Crohn was mentally unstable.
Dean decided it was best not to engage with him further, instead waiting until he became more stable before conversing again.
This did not help much.
After brieflying to, Crohn resumed his fulminations, which once again invoked the Holy Light.
Although Dean had done nothing this time, he was once again bathed in the Holy Light.
After three instances, eachsting at least ten minutes, Dean¡¯s exposed skin got burned.
Dean had absolutely no patience left.
Crohn, however, seemed enthusiastic in his cursing, despite having passed out thrice since Dean¡¯s arrival.
He woke up and continued to curse.
This went on seven or eight times.
It finally stopped, not because Crohn gave up, but because the Holy Light ceased to descend.
Only then did Crohn let out a deeply satisfiedugh, as if he had won a great victory.
Afterwards, Crohn then turned to Dean and asked, ¡°Kid, you said you came to Fern City to find me?
What do you need me for?¡±
¡°Necromancer Inheritance.¡±
Dean replied lifelessly after having been tortured by the Holy Light seven or eight times.
Upon hearing this, Crohn¡¯s eyes lit up, immediately giving an asking price: ¡°t rate: 1500 Gold!¡±
Dean couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes: ¡°Seriously, man, what do you need money for now?¡±
¡°Stop calling me old man! Also, none of your business why I want money. Give me the money, and I¡¯ll pass down the Inheritance to you!¡±
¡°How am I supposed to give you money in this state?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not my problem. No money, no Inheritance!¡±
Crohn seemed willing to die in this ce rather than budge on his demand for money.
Dean had had enough of dealing with the man.
Plus, Dean knew the old man was mentally unstable. Judging by his reaction to the Holy Light, if Dean argued with him, he wouldn¡¯t stop until one of them was dead.
So Dean stopped talking and took the opportunity of the absence of the Holy Light to close his eyes and rest.
But as Dean tried to rest, Crohn was adamant about keeping him engaged in conversation..

Chapter 148:124 Necromancer Inheritance, Level Cleared!
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie was driven mad.
¡°Shut up, don¡¯t talk to me. Talking to me costs money!¡±
¡°Pay? How much?¡±
¡°1500!¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you! I owe you 1500. You talk to me.¡±
Dean McKenzie was initially taken aback, then his eyes lit up.
¡°Then I give you the 1500 I owe you, and you give me the inheritance!¡±
¡°No deal!¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t really mean to give you 1500.1 tricked you into talking to me!¡±
A mouthful of old blood sprayed out from Dean McKenzie.
He ignored the old man who seemed to have gone insane from the imprisonment.
He let the old man talk to himself.
Perhaps because someone came by, the old man seemed very excited and spoke incoherently.
Sometimes he said the Church of Holy Light invited him as a guest of honor.
Sometimes he said the Church of Holy Light was nothing. After they came to this city three years ago, the city was ruined.
Sometimes he said he had 10,000 gold coins stolen by the Church of Holy Light, and other times he said he still had 100,000 gold coins hidden away, and he also had a treasure the Church of Holy Light hadn¡¯t discovered.
After babbling for a while and being ignored by Dean McKenzie, the old man suddenly fell silent for about half an hour.
Then Crohn started speaking again.
This time his voice waspletely different from before. There was less insanity and mboyance, but more gentleness, ¡°Young fellow, I¡¯m sorry. I was transformed by the Church of Holy Light before, so my personality changes from time to time. I¡¯ve caused you trouble.
I just heard that you were looking for me?
Who told you I was in Fern City?¡±
Upon hearing this voice, Dean McKenzie was taken aback. After hesitating, he mentioned Elisa Pink¡¯s name.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s little Elisa. Is she doing well?¡±
¡°Pretty well!¡±
¡°That¡¯s good. By the way, you¡¯re looking for me because you want the Necromancer inheritance, right? Although we¡¯re in this state, as Elisa¡¯s uncle, I don¡¯t have much else to offer. So why don¡¯t I give you the Necromancer inheritance?¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie showed an eager expression.
Then, Crohn suddenly appeared to beughing mischievously, ¡°Give me 1500 or I won¡¯t teach!¡±
A mouthful of blood almost sprayed from Dean McKenzie.
At this moment, Crohn suddenly spoke in a strange intonation:???????????????? £¤ &¡±
Because the Schr¡¯s Wind trait had also been stripped away, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t understand Crohn¡¯s words, but he could feel that thenguage contained profound information.
Dean McKenzie quickly realized that this was the Wraith inheritance he wanted.
Opening the attribute panel, he saw that the progress bar of the ¡°Necromancer¡± profession was fluctuating. Dean McKenzie eagerly started to pay attention.
The problem was that Crohn¡¯s mental state had worsened considerably.
Sometimes he was crazy, sometimes he was gentle, and sometimes he was passing on the inheritance.
Dean McKenzie was extremely distressed.
The inheritance implementation was intermittently disrupted.
Moreover, every day, Crohn would resist the Holy Light.
He needed to faint at least eight times.
Dean McKenzie had to bear the Holy Light Illumination eight times a day as well.
Thankfully Dean McKenzie¡¯s enhanced physique of over 500 wasn¡¯t for nothing. Plus, he had the ¡°Enhanced Physique¡± trait. Otherwise, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t have endured such torment.
And so, for the following period of time.
Dean McKenzie spent his days dealing with Holy Light Illumination,nguage attack, and inheriting the profession.
In that perpetual darkness.
Dean McKenzie almost went crazy.
Luckily there was the ¡°Necromancer¡± inheritance progress and a countdown to leaving the instance. Otherwise, if he had to stay here forever without seeing hope of departure, Dean McKenzie believed he would eventually go mad.
In the blink of an eye, Dean McKenzie had been imprisoned for 20 days.
It was also the 90th day since Dean McKenzie entered this instance. After today, he will be able to leave, out of the dark dungeon.
More importantly, Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡°Necromancer¡± inheritance had reached 99 percent. He was just a little bit away from fully epting the inheritance of the Necromancer.
That¡¯s why Dean McKenzie was especially happy that day.
Even when he was illuminated by the Holy Light, Dean McKenzie felt refreshed.
What made Dean McKenzie even happier was that the system prompt had refreshed,
¡°[Your exposure to the Holy Light for 20 days grants you the trait: ¡®Holy Light Resistance¡¯!]¡±
¡°[Holy Light Resistance (F) (Increases resistance to holy light by 5%)!]¡±
¡°Such a benefit?¡±
Dean McKenzie was surprised. Subconsciously, he nced at Crohn on the side.
At that moment, after the familiar eight courses of Holy Light healing, instead ofunching a junknguage attack, Crohn directly started the inheritance.
The whisper of the dead once again echoed in Dean McKenzie¡¯s ears.
After 20 days, Dean McKenzie still didn¡¯t understand thenguage spoken by Crohn, but he had already formed a sense of familiarity with it.
More importantly, Dean McKenzie memorized every pronunciation of thisnguage.
He could even recite it along with Crohn.
It could be said that Dean McKenzie hadid a solid foundation for mastering thisnguage.
As long as Dean McKenzie could have a reference, he could easily learn thisnguage.
Crohn¡¯s undeadnguagested for about an hour. Then the system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
¡°[You have obtained a 100 percent inheritance of the rare profession ¡®Necromancer¡¯. You have obtained a material list for initiating the third-turn trial of ¡®Necromancer¡¯.¡¯
Ps: Collect the materials and initiate the trial in the Trial Temple.. If youplete the trial you can change your profession to ¡®Necromancer¡¯!¡±

¡°Switch on to disy the list!¡±.
Reading this system prompt brought a wave of indescribable satisfaction.
20 days, and atst, I¡¯ve obtained my inheritance.
Can this be considered as sessfullypleting the dungeon, then?
But then, Dean McKenzie recalled his emptied out fortune, and his original euphoria was quickly doused. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t say it¡¯s entirely satisfying. If I can get my money back, and kill that bald old gatekeeper, then it will be a perfect conclusion!¡±
¡°There¡¯s an opportunity for that!¡±
Dean was suddenly interrupted by Crohn¡¯s voice.
Not surprised, Dean found this pretty normal. After all, Crohn had been continuously whispering in his ear for the past 20 days.
But this time, it seemed a little different.
¡°Kid, this opportunityes only once. Gear up!¡±
Crohn¡¯s tone was more serious and severe than before.
Dean quickly nced at Crohn, only to find a faint ck glow emanating from him.
Even though the mana wrapped around him was banned, as a Necromancer, Dean could distinctly feel the powerful and terrifying Death energy within the ck glow.
Suddenly, ear-piercing rms echoed throughout the Heretic Reformation Facility.
At the same time, a vibrant burst of Holy Light Illumination umted over Crohn¡¯s head.
However, this time, Crohn waspletely indifferent.
Staring at the sacred light falling upon him, he looked on with mockery.
¡°You¡¯ve any idea what I¡¯ve been through these three years?
I was illuminated by holy light eight times a day; for at least an hour. I¡¯m used to it.
Also, do you seriously think that all I could do was merely withstand the holy light?¡±
As Crohn spoke, the dark energy around him suddenly transformed into a sacred light.
This holy light absorbed the one shining down on him, while his body was momentarily engulfed in darkness. His power reaching a new level.
Opening his eyes, they shimmered with ck sacred light.
¡°Undying Bone Servant, call forth the Bone Dragon!¡±
Following Crohn¡¯s incantation, a ck holy light rune engulfed the floor beneath him. A roar erupted from the rune site.
With a ¡°crack¡± sound, the sacred light shattered.
Immediately after, a bone dragon sted through the rune, carrying Crohn aloft in the skies. During the ascent, Crohn didn¡¯tforget to reach out to Dean.
¡°Crack!¡±
Dean distinctly felt something breaking off his body surface.
Following this, system prompts started shing.
¡°Your Holy Light Seal has been removed!¡±
¡°You are blessed with the Power of Death. For the next hour, the level of your Necromancer Skills increases by 1, your mana increases by 100,000, and you have been marked by the Wraith!¡±
He was bbergasted!
Dean didn¡¯t expect Crohn¡¯s random wave of his hand to grant him such a terrifying temporary BUFF.
How powerful must Crohn be to do this?
And if he¡¯s so powerful, how did the Church of Holy Light imprison him in the first ce?
Before Dean could figure this out, a sudden ¡°boom¡± echoed. Crohn had broken through the ceiling, immediately vanishing into thin air.
Dean was dumbstruck: ¡°He¡¯s left? Without taking me?¡±
¡°Heretic, where do you think you¡¯re going?¡±
The authoritative shout echoed from the sky. Dean found the voice familiar; it was the one who had sent him here 20 days ago.
Simultaneously, sacred light poured out from the broken dome, clearly indicating that Crohn had been intercepted.
Only then did Dean realise why Crohn had left without him.
Without any choice, he looked up apprehensively.
Immediately, he saw Crohn riding the bone dragon amidst the glorious sacred light. His clothes billowing, exuding a sense of madness.
¡°Run? Who¡¯s running?
Today, I will meet death at the Church of Holy Light, together!¡±
¡°Roar!¡±
Apanying Crohn¡¯s howl was the snarl from the bone dragon beneath him.
Simultaneously, a ck holy light erupted from Crohn, followed by an ominous chant humming with power and despair.
¡°Embrace the Power of Death, be the Power of Death.
Come, Power of Death, offer my all to vanquish this god forsaken world ¨C Wraith Scourge!¡±
As Crohn finished his incantation, an overpoweringly terrifying energy burst from his body, instantly shattering the sacred light encapsting him.
Even the sky was plunged into darkness.
¡°Filthy maggot, stop at once. Judgment of the Holy God!¡±
The resonance of the red-robed bishop could be heard again, this time revealing his unease.
A Holy Light Cross descended, intending to annihte Crohn. But it was blocked by the bone dragon beneath him.
Immediately after this, Crohn disintegrated.
Then, an endless wave of dark energy engulfed the entire Fern City.
Dean distinctly experienced an effusion of dark energy around him.
As the dark energy erupted, Dean spotted countless wraiths emerging from all around him.
Also in the sky, countless wraiths spilled out from where Crohn had disintegrated, simr to droplets of rain.
Within a mere minute, the entire Fern City was shrouded in wraiths.
Even the depths of the Heretic Reformation Facility were filled with wraiths.
Nheless, perhaps due to the BUFF that Crohn had bestowed, the wraiths ignored Deanpletely.
It was almost as if, in the eyes of these wraiths, Dean was one of them.
It was evident that, through his death, Crohn had managed to create an escape route for Dean.
Of course, Crohn may not necessarily have done this for Dean.
He had been preparing for three years, and probably just saw an opportunity to help Dean by coincidence.
Even so, Dean greatly appreciated the favour.
¡°He didn¡¯t need to go to such extremes¡Well, holy shit¡ He¡¯s waiting for me!¡±
Just as Dean was talking, system prompts started shing again.
¡°Crohn is casting the spell of resurrection on you!¡±
Simultaneously, a wave of energy surged into Dean. While the energy was still infiltrating¡
System prompts shed again in front of Dean.
¡°Your dungeon time has ended!¡±

Chapter 150:125 Reward Settlement, Skill Fusion
Trantor: 549690339 I
[You have cleared this dungeon, do you want to proceed with the dungeon rewards settlement?]
Apanied by this system prompt refresh.
The power that was supposed to continuously fall on Dean McKenzie was abruptly cut off.
Crohn¡¯s magic spell was interrupted.
However, despite the interruption, a force had surged into him, a force that caused Dean¡¯s brain to rumble and his vision to darken.
In a daze, Dean seemed to see his grandmother¡¯s smile, along with a gray world.
Consciousness Space!
Dean, after forcibly promoting the knowledge of mes and meteorites to proficiency, mastered arge amount of magic knowledge.
Also included were aspects rted to consciousness.
The moment he saw that gray world, Dean naturally knew that this gray world, or gray space, was his own consciousness space.
It was where his soul resided.
Ordinarily, Dean wouldn¡¯t have been aware of this space without reaching the Fifth-turn.
But at this moment, under Crohn¡¯s power, he saw his Consciousness Space.
Simultaneously, Dean noticed a ck consciousness looming in his gray Consciousness Space, a very domineering consciousness that darkened arge part of his Consciousness Space.
With that speed, if it wasn¡¯t for the system prompt refresh and the end of Dean¡¯s dungeon run, Dean felt that his entire Consciousness Space would turn into someone else¡¯s color.
Then, he would either be suppressed, with his body under the control of someone else.
Or worse, he may just have perished.
Fortunately, Dean was rather lucky.
Crohn had just exerted his power when Dean¡¯s dungeon space ended. Under the power of the system, Dean survived.
The ck figure disintegrated without further force, and a massive amount of information emerged.
Meanwhile, a system prompt appeared before Dean¡¯s eyes.
[Crohn¡¯s spell on you has failed. A portion of his soul was destroyed in your Consciousness Space, and you gained some of his memories!]
[You have obtained a 100% inheritance from the rare Third-turn profession, Necromancer!]
[You have obtained the inheritance of the rare Fourth-turn profession, Wraith Mage. Current progress is 89%!]
[You have obtained the inheritance of the perfect Fifth-turn profession, Wraith Controller. Current progress is 1%!]
As two system prompts refreshed, Crohn¡¯s memories exploded in Dean¡¯s mind.
These memories were rtively recent, precisely from the moment Dean had entered.
After obtaining these memories from Crohn, Dean realized that from the start, Crohn had plotted to exploit him to escape.
Although Crohn¡¯s madness was genuine, and his gentleness was also genuine.
But the inheritance Crohn gave him wasn¡¯t just an inheritance, it also contained the spell ¡°Reincarnation of the Dead¡±.
Crohn took advantage of Dean¡¯s innocence, read the spell out loud without suspicion, and Dean naively memorized it.
If he wasn¡¯t lucky, Dean would have been done for.
¡°Damn it, I thought reality was the tricky part, but I didn¡¯t see the dangers in the dungeon. I almost got trapped twice in this dungeon.
No, no, I must be more cautious next time. I can¡¯t trust everyone.¡±
Of course, part of Dean¡¯sck of alertness can be attributed to Anthony, whose presence made Dean believe the world was mostly good people.
He always maintained some trust and kindness towards people.
As a result, he was exploited by Crohn this time.
¡°Fortunately, the result was good, but I must remember this lesson!¡±
Dean wished he could take a knife and carve a ¡°caution¡± or ¡°endure¡± mark on his hand.
[Do you want to start the reward settlement?]
The system prompt brought Dean back from his thoughts.
Looking at the calming world around him, Dean shook his head, brushing aside what had just happened, and gave a firm nod.
¡°Yes!¡±
[Beginning dungeon rewards settlement!]
[You safely survived 90 days, you get a basic E-level review!]
[You solved the Storm Legion crisis, your rating has risen to A-level!]
[You annihted the Becky family, killing Albert Becky, Avery Pink and saving the Third Princess, your rating has risen to SS Level!]
[You rashly entered Fern City and narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Church of Holy Light and Crohn Merlin The Dead , your rating has been lowered to A+ Level!]
¡°Damn it!¡±
Dean couldn¡¯t contain his disappointment upon seeing the system prompt. An SS Level rating, dwindled to A+ just like that, stirring up his murderous intent.
But this wasn¡¯t the final rating.
[Detected you have a Crystal Heart, your final evaluation has been upgraded to S+!]
[You have obtained the following rewards:
1,?? You have been awarded 200 free attribute points
2,?? You have been awarded a Skill Fusion Scroll
3,?? You have been awarded two Secret Realm Crystals!]
As the system prompts came up, Dean¡¯s dungeon rewards arrived one after another.
There were 200 more free attribute points on his attribute panel.
He held two Secret Realm Crystals in one hand and a Scroll in the other.
The free attribute points were self-exnatory. Dean didn¡¯t save them this time either and directly added all to his spirit, raising his spirit strength to 1343-4-
As for the Secret Realm Crystals, if he had a Secret Realm Modification Scroll, he could use them to modify the Secret Realm..

Chapter 151:125 Reward Settlement, Fusion Skill_2
Trantor: 549690339 |
If there is none, it can be used directly to upgrade the Secret Realm.
Dean McKenzie immediately used them on the Land of Bone.
The Land of Bone¡¯s area has doubled from its original foundation, and the amount of Skeleton Energy it can supply has increased from 3000 to 9000.
In the end, Dean¡¯s gaze fell on thest Skill Fusion Scroll.
Item: Skill Fusion Scroll
Description: Can fuse two skills with simr properties, both not exceeding third-turn, into a new skill.
Upon seeing this description, Dean was taken aback, immediately thinking of his own two skills.
Bone Shield and Bone Armor.
Both of these skills are defense skills, their natures are more than just simr.
These two skills are inherently linked.
Thetter is the advanced version of the former.
Generally speaking, there is no need at all to fuse these two skills.
But it¡¯s different for Dean.
After all, Dean¡¯s Bone Shield is enhanced, and has been enhanced twice.
Dean was worrying that once the Bone Armor arrived, the enhancement of his Bone Shield would be somewhat wasted.
Now, with this tool, he can fuse the two skills together.
Dean immediately activated the scroll with a p of his hand.
Then, a screen appeared before Dean¡¯s eyes.
Without any tuition, Dean put Bone Shield and Bone Armor together.
Ding, your skills Bone Shield and Bone Armor have started merging!
It is detected that Bone Armor is the advanced version of Bone Shield, and the attributes of Bone Shield are migrating into Bone Armor!
Your skill fusion is sessful!
Skill: Bone Armor (Enhanced) (Second-turn)
Skill Level: Level 1 (1322/10,000)
Skill Consumption: 5000 (activation) 500/min (continuance)
Effect: Can summon ayer of Bone Armor on oneself to provide all-round protection.
Can block damage equivalent to 9.5 times spirit plus 5512.
And can reduce the enemy¡¯s attack by ten percent
Invisible Shield: Your bones will constantly maintain an Invisible Shield with a defense value of 5512. It will recover within 30 minutes if broken.
Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 3)
Effect 1: Attacks below 128 points cannot damage the Bone Shield.
Effect 2: Increase defense by 500 points
Effect 3: Increase defense effect by twenty-five percent (this effect is valid for Invisible Shield)
This skill fusion reallybines the attributes of two skills into one.
Adding the effects of the skills together.
It¡¯s just that the two previous enhancements of the Bone Shield are gone, and the skill level has been reduced to Level 1.
However, after Dean put on the Wizard¡¯s Bachelor Hat, this skill was upgraded to Level 2, and its attributes greatly increased.
The consumption increased to 8000 and continuance became 1000 per minute.
This is just the basic continuance, and it will increase significantly if attacked.
But the effect has also increased significantly, the increase has risen to ten times the spirit plus 11024, and the damage negation has also increased to fifteen percent.
Once this skill was activated, Dean immediately felt much safer.
Moreover, Dean tried the Bone Armor and it was still considered unenhanced, and the Grant Quota of the previous Bone Shield enhancement was also on it.
Although two Grant Quotas are required for the second-turn skill, there is no problem.
As long as Dean¡¯s level is raised to 50, he can enhance the Bone Armor.
With thepletion of the Bone Armor skill fusion, Dean¡¯s instance is nearing its end.
The familiar weightlessness came again.
When Dean opened and closed his eyes, he returned to the restroom in Spring City.
The Instance Scroll also returned to Dean¡¯s hand.
Name: Goblin Rise 4
Challenge Level: Rmended for level 80 and above (Hell)
Description: Honestly, the name of this instance scroll should be changed.
There are totally no goblins.
Dean¡¯s gaze fell on the challenge mode, and upon seeing the rare level suggestion, he thought of Crohn¡¯s final madness.
Dean also vaguely guessed what he would encounter once he entered 4.
However,pared to what I¡¯ll encounter in Goblin Rise 4, there is a more important matter at hand.
Stepping on the ground, Dean¡¯s spirit surged out.
He clearly sensed that apart from him, the restroom was still empty.
Outside the restroom, George Holt and his three men were still guarding outside.
Seeing them still there, Dean knew Anthony hadn¡¯t awakened.
Or perhaps, he may not know what¡¯s happening here.
¡°It seems that this time, it¡¯s up to me to solve the problem.¡±
After a long sigh, Dean put the hat and the scroll back into the Land of Bone, and walked out of the restroom wearing a blood-stained prison uniform.
George Holt looked Dean up and down for a while, seeing Dean covered in blood and pale, he thought that Dean had been beaten up in the instance this time, and his ridicule deepened: ¡°Your n is ruined, don¡¯t think about Ennis Hawkins anymore, he¡¯s noting to save you, you should honestlye with us!¡±
Dean frowned, he clearly felt that George Holt¡¯s attitude today was much more arrogant than three days ago.
Obviously, it was because no one hade to help Dean in these three days.
Dean looked at George Holt and the three other men.
One rare Level 80, and three Excellent Levels 80, they were not much of a threat.
Although Dean really didn¡¯t want to take it this far, there was nothing he could do given the current situation..

¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go with you!¡±
¡°Wouldn¡¯t it have been easier if we had reached this point earlier? We¡¯ve wasted three days! Handcuff him!¡±
At George Holt¡¯smand, his men approached with handcuffs in hand.
Dean McKenzie brow furrowed, ¡°What are you doing? Didn¡¯t we agree that I was merely cooperating with the investigation? I¡¯m not your criminal, you have no right to do this to me. This is against the regtions¡¡±
¡°Do we need your permission?¡±
George Holt snatched the handcuffs from his subordinate and shackled Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands directly, ¡°Do we need you to tell us the rules of the Mirror Stand?
Who do you think you are?
Aren¡¯t you just a sewer cleaner?
Take him away!¡±
At George Holt¡¯s harshmand, his subordinates immediately took Dean McKenzie on a detour around the Medical Center.
Then, struttingly, they left Spring City with Dean McKenzie.
The swaggering momentum could even irritate Anson Harris, let alone Ennis Hawkins.
¡°Bruce Hodge sure knows how to pick his men. This George Holt apparentlyes from the Mirror Stand¡¯s brute squad. Most people wouldn¡¯t dare to be so arrogant. He¡¯s so brash, I actually want to go down there and smack him!¡±
Ennis Hawkins, however, was not focusing on George Holt.
His attention was mostly on Dean McKenzie.
¡°This kid has improved a lot in the dungeon!
But inside his body are traces of a powerful invasion of dark energy. It¡¯s unclear how serious the problem is!¡±
Ennis Hawkins collected his thoughts and retracted his gaze.
¡°When are you leaving?¡±
¡°Leave for where?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you going to rescue him?¡±
¡°If it¡¯s just these four, he should be able to handle it himself. As for the rest, I have a friend who will help handle it!¡±
¡°Friend? What friend?¡±
Ennis Hawkins sighed deeply, ¡°A friend who prefers to stay in the shadows.¡±
Dean McKenzie, escorted by George Holt, finally left Spring City after a long journey out of town.
After exiting Spring City, George Holt¡¯s mood visibly soured.
Obviously disappointed that his n to lure Ennis Hawkins out with Dean McKenzie did not work, he grew increasingly annoyed with Dean McKenzie, even going so far as to kick him in the rear.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s brow furrowed tightly. Despite being well defended by both his Earth Guardian and Invisible Shield which together granted him up to 20,000 Defense, this kick felt more insulting than physically damaging. Dean McKenzie, who would not stand up to this insult, sternly warned, ¡°Breanna Holt, it is out of respect that I am travelling with you to Thorn Oak City. You better not overstep!¡±
¡°Overstep?¡±
Upon hearing this, George Holtughed, grabbed Dean McKenzie¡¯s cor and red into his face. ¡°So what if I¡¯ve overstepped?
Who do you think you are?
Are you not just a sewage cleaner who, by some stroke of luck, became a professional? You think you¡¯re important because of this?
I don¡¯t think I need to show you respect. What can you do about it?
What do you think you can do?
Ennis Hawkins has already given you up. Now that you¡¯re in my hands, your fate is in my control. Your life¡ª and your manner of death¡ª is up to me.
If you can¡¯t handle this now, how will you copeter?¡±
Dean McKenzie sighed at his opponent¡¯s arrogant expression, ¡°You¡¯re leaving yourself no way out¡±
¡°Ha, leaving myself an out? Do you know where we brutish men in the brute squad get our name?
I, George Holt, have never known what it means to¡¡±
¡°Enough, shut up!¡±
Dean McKenzie let out a cold huff and triggered Bone Resistance directly. The handcuffs shattered, and George Holt, standing closest to Dean McKenzie, was immediately sent flying by Bone Resistance.
Even with his Rare Temte and a level of 80¡
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Resistance, he was sent flying and spewing blood.
Before he evennded, a Bone Spear punctured him, nailing him to the ground. Immediately afterwards, another seven or eight Bone Spears pinned him down. Having endured these two bouts of attack, George Holt was at hisst breath. Dean McKenzie took out a strip of dried fish, a gift from the princess, from his Land of Bone.
He smacked it against George Holt¡¯s forehead repeatedly.
¡°Not giving face when it¡¯s given, huh?¡±
¡°Arrogant, huh?¡±
¡°Just a sewer cleaner, huh?¡±
¡°The one who¡¯s going to kill you is the very sewer cleaner you look down on!¡±
The more Dean McKenzie spoke, the harsher his ps became. He beat George Holt to death on the spot.
[You have killed George Holt (Rare) (Level 80), your level has increased to 48, your Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit each increase by 12 points!]
[You have used Extraction on George Holt, you have gained 20 points of Strength, 20 points of Physique, 10 points of Spirit, and a piece of Rare Temte!]
Only after these two system prompts did Dean McKenzie stop. He turned and looked towards Spring City.
At this moment, numerous eyes from Spring City were watching him in shock.
None of them had expected that Dean McKenzie would dare to brazenly kill a Mirror Stand member, let alone publicly execute him outside Spring City in such a brutal manner.
But this was precisely the effect that Dean McKenzie was aiming to achieve.
With the addition of the time inside the dungeon, three months had passed since he initially dealt with this matter. After repeatedly considering this issue over the three months, Dean McKenzie came to a conclusion.
George Holt, or rather his people behind the scenes, were not really targeting him. Their real target was Ennis Hawkins.
Otherwise, they would not have dragged this out for so long.
Once Dean McKenzie left with them, not only would his own safety be jeopardised, they would also use him as a weapon against Ennis Hawkins.
So, Dean McKenzie chose to handle this matter in this way.
He killed George Holt publicly and then fled the scene, with the crime falling onto him.
¡°As I¡¯m going to have to run anyway, I don¡¯t care about bearing the me. Anthony, thank you for opening the door to my profession and for giving me what I have now. This is the only way I can help you. Until we meet again!¡±
Having said this, Dean McKenzie walked past the other three badly wounded Mirror Stand members and moved towards the outer areas of Spring City, officially stepping out of the ce where his dream began.
On the other hand, in Spring City, Anthony received news about the event and remained silent for a long time.
In a ce unseen by Dean McKenzie, a man was dressed in a ck cloak, holding onto a limp figure in his hand, watching Dean McKenzie leave with an admiring gaze.
¡°I¡¯m starting to like this kid!¡±

¡°Good! He¡¯s a man of passion and loyalty, I really like this kid!
Inside the luxurious office of Bruce Hodge, the president of the Professional
Alliance in Thorn Oak City.
Bruce Hodge, sitting in hisfortable chair, looked at the report brought to him by his subordinate and beamed with appraisal for Dean McKenzie.
¡°This kid has done well!¡±
¡°His actions have achieved much more than my covert maniptions.
¡°Send out my order immediately, Dean McKenzie of Spring City, publicly killed the Mirror Keeper of Mirror Stand, a crime heinous beyond redemption, raise his bounty level to Level 4-
¡°Capturing or killing Dean McKenzie, either will be rewarded with a Level 4
Medal of Honor!¡±
With Bruce Hodge¡¯smand, orders were dispatched from his office and in less than half a day, they were spread throughout the Anta area of the
Alliance.
Any city in the Alliance¡¯s Anta area received the Level 4 bounty on Dean McKenzie.
This stirred up all of Anta.
People should know, a Level 4 bounty is directed towards a Fourth-Tum Professional, and even for a Level 4 Professional, acquiring a Level 4 Medal of
Honor is extremely difficult.
It could even be exchanged for a piece of Level 4 Golden Equipment or three Golden Materials.
However, the target of the bounty was only a Second-Turn Professional.
Who could resist such a bounty?
A feeling is never as good as action, and all of a sudden, both professional and amateur Bounty Hunters all over Anta set their sights on Dean McKenzie.
Spring City, Medical Center.
Looking at the bounty order just handed to him, Anson Harris¡¯s face was as dark as a deep trench.
¡°Damn it. Bruce Hodge doesn¡¯t appreciate the Alliance¡¯s assets at all, raising the bounty to this level. Dean McKenzie is in danger now!
¡°That kid, if he was going to kill, he should not have done it publicly.
¡°Now it¡¯s good, let¡¯s see how he deals with this bounty on his head!
¡°We can¡¯t me him for all this. Even if he had killed in secret, or simply fled without killing, Bruce Hodge would have issued this Level 4 bounty order
anyway.
¡°On the surface, the bounty is written with Dean McKenzie¡¯s name, but the real target is actually me.
¡°It¡¯s me who got the kid embroiled in this!¡±
Ennis Hawkins said as he stood up from his sickbed.
¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
¡°He wants to see me, doesn¡¯t he? I¡¯ll grant his wish then!
¡°You can¡¯t go!¡±
Anson Harris quickly stood up and blocked Ennis Hawkins way, ¡°Going out now will only y into the hands of that damn Bruce Hodge. Besides this, it is meaningless. The bounty order has already been issued and can¡¯t be retracted.
¡°Also, you know why the kid made that move in public. He wanted to help you bear the burden. If you go out now, wouldn¡¯t his efforts have been in vain?
¡°Besides, didn¡¯t you arrange someone to protect the kid?
¡°Since everything is prepared, you don¡¯t need to go out.
¡°You must endure and prioritize the bigger picture.
Ennis Hawkins didn¡¯t say a word, just patted Anson Harris on the shoulder, and then gently pushed him aside and walked out of the Medical Center.
On the other hand, Dean McKenzie.
That day, Dean McKenzie left Spring City.
At first, Dean felt a sense of freedom like a fish in the water, and a bird in the sky.
Feeling that, finally, he could truly observe the world.
However, his joyful mood onlysted for half a day.
Not even half a day to be precise.
The incidents that took ce in Spring City, although Anson Harris and the others tried their best to dy, it didn¡¯t take two hours for Thorn Oak City to find out.
Then, in less than an hour, Bruce Hodge¡¯s bounty order was spread throughout Anta.
And then¡
Dean McKenzie was in trouble.
While he was on his way, the system alert popped up before his eyes.
[A Diviner is performing a divination to locate you, initiating divination immunity, immunity failed, your location has been exposed!]
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Suddenly seeing this system alert, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel dumbfounded.
Shortly after, Dean quickly realised that he might be in danger.
Dean changed his direction instantly, using all his strength to avoid being tracked.
However, if the tracking from a diviner could be so easily avoided, they wouldn¡¯t have been the top of the list for killing Fallen Professionals and criminal Professionals all year round.
After a full hour of speeding, Dean still felt as though he was being tracked. The system¡¯s alerts would asionally sound in his ear.
The refreshing system alerts and the feeling that he was constantly being tracked was quite maddening.
It was impossible for Dean¡¯s mood not to be irritable.
Just as Dean¡¯s mood gradually turned explosive, an rm went off in his mind. Simultaneously, his induction status vaguely told him that danger was approaching.
But before Dean could react, an arrow struck him, shooting Dean into the nearby bushes.
¡°Well done, Old Eight!¡±
At the same time Dean was hit, a four-member squad stood hundreds of metres away. The middle-aged team leader pped the young man, who held a long bow, on the back.
The young man pulled out another arrow: ¡°Be careful, he¡¯s not dead!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, a mere Second-Turn Necromancer hit by your arrow is as good as dead if not already.
¡°Old Three, you protect Old Eight, Old Six,e with me!
¡°Let¡¯s bring our prey back!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±

Trantor: 549690339
At themand of the middle-aged man, a bearded man with a long knife on his back advanced towards Dean McKenzie with him.
The young archer standing there was not idle either.
He aimed at the bushes where Dean McKenzie had fallen, and once again shot an arrow from his hand. This time he turned it into a huge fireball, which bombed the bushes where Dean McKenzie was.
In an instant, the bushes around Dean McKenzie¡¯s location turned to ashes, revealing his figure.
Amidst the mes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s body was covered with ayer of bone protected by gray energy. He looked calmly at the approaching men.
At this moment, the middle-aged man Old Two and the bearded Old Six of the four-man team had crossed hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and got very close to Dean McKenzie.
Even if Dean McKenzie¡¯s performance at this moment surprised them, they had no intention of stopping.
You must be kidding, both of them are third-turn 8o-level warriors. In such close proximity to a two-turn Necromancer, won¡¯t that be a sure win?
As soon as they got close, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Resistance activated.
The two men directly hit it straight on.
Under the blessing of the Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat, the 2-level Bone Resistance¡¯s basic damage is the Spiritual Power multiplied by to plus 220,000. Not counting the additional damage, the basic damage alone has exceeded 3,000,000.
Not to mention Bone Control and Nether Thunder Power.
These two were directly blown up after getting hit with these.
[You have killed two Bounty Hunters (Excellent) (Level 80), your level has been raised to 4.9, your attribute points have been increased!]
¡°Oh no!¡±
As the two were killed, the other two sensed that something was wrong. ¡°Retreat!¡±
The young man quickly put back his bow and arrow and called for a retreat. But it was toote. Dean McKenzie shot a Bone Fang on Old Four¡¯s body, blowing him up. The resulting ice explosion instantly froze the young man on the side.
The young man, Old Eight, finally managed to get rid of the ice with a tool. Without even managing to getpletely free, a dagger came straight from bottom to top in an instant kill.
¡°Puff!¡±
Old Eight finally died at the hands of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Old Eight.
[You sessfully kill two Bounty Hunters (Excellent) (Level 80), your level has been raised to 50. Your attribute points have been increased!] [You¡¯ve gamed a Talent Grant Quota, you now have one remaining!] In less than three minutes, a four-man squad of level 80 with Excellent Temte was killed by Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie swiftly cleaned up the battlefield, extracting four Excellent Temte shards from the four men.
He got 320 Gold, four silver-quality weapons.
Some potions and a map.
Most importantly, Dean McKenzie found a bounty ced on him on one of the men.
Seeing this arrest warrant, Dean McKenzie finally had some understanding of his current predicament.
It seems my situation is not very good!¡±
[A professional is divining your location, divination immunity is in effect, immunity failure, your location has been exposed!]
Almost simultaneously, the system prompt on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face refreshed.
The sense of urgency suddenly crept up.
But Dean McKenzie knew that in his current situation, just being anxious wouldn¡¯t help.
If he allowed the anxiety to drive him and ran aimlessly like a headless fly, that would be even more dangerous.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and opened the map he had found from the four-man squad.
¡°I am in this situation now, I must not panic nor act rashly.
This bounty was ced by the Alliance, looking at the seal it was printed by Summer City.
I estimate that my bounty has been circted throughout Anta, which means I am more dangerous the closer I get to the city.
If I want to survive, there¡¯s only two choices!
Either head south to the sea, or go north to the Martial Vige Mountain Range. That mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, the terrain isplicated and there are rumors of creatures over six-turn. It would be easier to hide there.¡±
Dean McKenzie concluded, studying the map in silence.
He was torn about whether to go north or south.
This isn¡¯t an easy decision to make. Heading north needs to pass two cities to enter the Martial Vige Mountain Range. To the south, he needs to bypass Summer City and Wave City to reach the sea.
No matter which direction, it would be very dangerous.
In the end, Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth and decided: ¡°Head south, to the sea, the Alliance¡¯s power is weaker out at sea!¡±
Having made up his mind, Dean McKenzie put away the map, directly got up and went south, and officially began his escape journey!
A level 4 bounty has a great temptation for both Bounty Hunters and Fallen Professionals.
From the first time Dean McKenzie was attacked, assaults against him never stopped.
Thankfully.
Those who attacked Dean McKenzie were all third-turn level 80 creatures.
And at first, they were even Excellent Temtes.
For the current Dean McKenzie, these existences basically cannot pose any threat.
It didn¡¯t take much effort for Dean McKenzie to deal with three teams.
Moreover, the constant encounters with these level 80 enemies led to Dean McKenzie¡¯s levels skyrocketing.
By the time he defeated the third team, Dean McKenzie had already reached level 52.
The rewards were also enormous. He already had 1,500 gold in his hands and more than a dozen silver equipment pieces.
Even though they were all level 80 and neither he nor Doggy Two could use them now, they were very valuable..

Trantor: 549690339
At this moment, the value of the item he was clutching had already surpassed the items confiscated in the clone.
But Dean McKenzie was not able to feel any joy.
Because the Diviner, who was divining him, still hadn¡¯t stopped.
Even though the enemies he was facing were within his capacity to handle.
But Dean clearly knew, unless someone was secretly protecting him, purposefully letting people he could handlee to him and blocking those he couldn¡¯t.
Otherwise, an opponent beyond his reach could appear at any moment.
If onees, he would be totally screwed.
So, despite the huge gains, Dean¡¯s mood remained tense.
After the third wave, Dean simply stopped fighting with people.
From then on, he tried to move as quickly as possible, focusing on escaping. Quickly get to the sea.
Meanwhile, Dean also hoped that he could run out of the range of the diviner¡¯s divination by moving faster.
He didn¡¯t believe a diviner could divine him regardless of distance.
Or rather, such Diviners exist, but surely such powerful beings would not be used against him, right?
So, all Dean could do now was to run as fast as he could.
Hoping that, as long as he could run a little faster, the divination would not catch up with him.
But Dean¡¯s hope was slim.
Because his running speed was not as fast as that of the Diviner.
In fact, the Diviner was just behind him, not more than three kilometers away.
Cloaked in a ck robe, he was holding a ck crystal ball.
It was this crystal ball that was constantly divining Dean¡¯s location.
¡°To be fair, this kid can run pretty fast.
But speaking of which, why does he seem so anxious?
It¡¯s as if there¡¯s a dog chasing him, he¡¯s so tense and urgent, it¡¯s not likely, I¡¯ve let all those he can handle go.
He has no reason or need to be this tense!
Oh, it¡¯s because I forgot to hide my divination!
Haha!¡±
The man in the ck robeughed crazily; from hisughter, it was not hard to see that he was doing it on purpose.
On one hand, this kid was holding a grudge due to the sixteen Secret Realm Crystals.
On the other hand, he was deliberately creating a sense of urgency for Dean to run faster.
Theughing mysterious man¡¯s face suddenly became serious.
¡°Not this again!¡±
Speaking, the mysterious man waved his hand casually, and a ck crystal ball was thrown out by him. A lurking Fourth-turn was temporarily trapped.
Looking at the ck crystal used once again, the mysterious man¡¯s heart was bleeding.
¡°It hasn¡¯t been long and I¡¯ve used almost ten crystals already, what am I going to do if this continues!¡±
speaking, the mysterious man couldn¡¯t help ncing at his storage Belt, with a worried look, ¡°Now I have only 9980 crystals left!
Damn you Bruce Hodge, don¡¯t let me find an opportunity, or I swear I will kill you eventually!¡±
As soon as the mysterious man had spoken, a voice sounded from the side, ¡°Oh, you want this opportunity?
I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±
At the sound of this voice, the mysterious man¡¯s face turned pale instantly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, only to see the new Vice President of the Thorn Oak City Professional Alliance, Bruce Hodge, standing not far from him.
At the same time, Bruce Hodge was also sizing up the mysterious man before him.
I had guessed that Ennis Hawkins won¡¯t just watch that kid being chased but what I didn¡¯t expect is that he didn¡¯t take matters into his own hands, instead he asked you to protect the kid.
You are a Level 5 wanted criminal of the Alliance, a major offender, how can
Ennis associate with you¡¡±
¡°Destiny Fog!¡±
The mysterious man did not have time to listen to Bruce¡¯s nonsense, before he could finish speaking, he waved his hand and arge batch of ck crystal balls were thrown out and exploded directly into a patch of ck fog.
At the same time, the mysterious man shattered the ck crystal ball in his hand. His body transformed into a puff of ck smoke and disappeared instantly from the spot, reappearing beside Dean at almost the same moment.
The sudden appearance of the mysterious man in the ck robe caused Dean¡¯s expression to change, and he subconsciously wanted to activate Bone Resistance.
The system prompt refreshed in front of his eyes.
[You are in an anti-magic state and cannot use skills!]
Dean¡¯s expression changed.
The mysterious man said, ¡°I¡¯m on Ennis¡¯s side, don¡¯t resist,e with me!¡± At the same time, he grabbed Dean and smashed the ck crystal ball in his hand, intending to escape with Dean. However, the ck crystal ball smashed, but the two people were still in ce.
¡°Not good!¡±
The man¡¯s face changed, and he subconsciously looked at the patch of ck
fog.
At the same moment, the mysterious man¡¯s patch of ck fog lit up in a dazzling light.
Within that dazzling light, Bruce Hodge emerged glowing, and the mysterious man spat out a mouthful of blood with a ¡°poof¡±.
¡°We¡¯re all old friends here, finally met face to face, yet you want to run before I finish my greetings. That¡¯s not cool!¡±
Speaking, Bruce Hodge walked up to Dean and the mysterious man in three steps and two. His gaze fell upon Dean, and he greeted Dean with a smile: ¡°Oh Dean McKenzie, right? We finally meet face-to-face.
I¡¯m Bruce Hodge, an old friend of Ennis and this gentleman here. I am the president of Thorn Oak City¡¯s Professional Alliance. By the way, the warrant for your arrest was issued by me!¡±
Hearing this, Dean immediately understood his predicament. He grabbed the mysterious man and turned to run.
¡°He¡¯s quite loyal. But do you think you have the chance to run away in front of me?
Stand up straight when you talk to me!¡±
Bruce Hodge let out a cold snort. The fiery glow on his body deepened, and a terrifying aura, like a volcano, erupted and religiously supressed Dean on the spot. It made Dean stand there, unable to move.
This was the first time Dean had personally experienced Bruce¡¯s aura, an obvious aura of a Level 5 or above expert.
In front of this kind of powerhouse, Dean felt nothing but despair, without any hope of resistance left.
He was only a Second-turn, how was expecting him to deal with this kind of existence reasonable?
The mysterious man was cursing on the side. He thought he only had to deal with a Fourth-turn, but Bruce turned up too, how was this kept under control?
Just as Dean and the mysterious man were suppressed, a crisp ringtone suddenly rang out!
Bruce picked up his phone and smiled, ¡°Hello!¡±
¡°Give me a break!¡±

Chapter 156:127 Bloody Saint Child
Chapter 156:127 Bloody Saint Child
Trantor: 549690339 I
On the outskirts of Summer City, over a hundred kilometers from Anta.
Dean McKenzie and the mystery man watched in shock as Bruce Hodge turned his back and walked away.
They never saw thising.
In just the duration of a phone call, Bruce Hodge, who had been relentlessly pursuing them, suddenly lost his momentum and left.
He left so decisively, he didn¡¯t utter one threatening word, which left Dean McKenzie and the mystery man stunned for a moment.
Dean McKenzie asked bewilderedly, ¡°Who was that phone call from?¡±
Rolling his eyes, the mystery man retorted, ¡°Who knows, maybe some old man. Now is not the time to decipher that. Don¡¯t you think we still have more crucial matters at hand?¡±
Don t tell me you believe that we¡¯re safe just because Bruce Hodge has left? He merely left, he didn¡¯t die, so he can change his mind at any moment. Furthermore, even if Bruce Hodge doesn¡¯t change his mind, the bounty on you hasn¡¯t been retracted. Now, I¡¯ve been severely injured by him and lost 99 percent of mybat power. If a fourth-turn yer or a top third-turn teames now, we¡¯re both done for!¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
Only then did Dean McKenzie recover from his shock, ¡°So what should we do now?¡±
Frustrated, the mystery man yelled, ¡°What do you think we should do? We need to run! We should head towards the sea following the route you gave earlier. Once we reach the coast, I can guarantee our safety!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
At that time, Dean McKenzie was willing to heed the advice. He immediately picked up the mystery man and slung him over his shoulder.
As he did so, Dean McKenzie sensed something wasn¡¯t right.
¡°Dude, your pecs are a bit exaggerated!¡±
¡°Quit prattling, let¡¯s move!¡±
The mystery man urged him on while pulling out a ck crystal ball.
With a light squeeze, a battery of system alerts flooded into Dean McKenzie¡¯s vision.
[A professional used the Fate Concealment skill. For the next three hours, Divination and Tracking skills below level 5 will be ineffective!] Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the system notification.
¡°Dude, that was a great move! Someone had been divining me since the beginning. If you had done this earlier¡¡±
Upon speaking his thoughts, Dean McKenzie paused, then turned and asked suspiciously, ¡°Dude, you weren¡¯t the one divining me since the beginning, were you?¡±
Feeling a chill from Dean McKenzie¡¯s hostile words, the severely injured mystery man shivered and quickly reassured him, ¡°No, it wasn¡¯t me. Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±
¡°Good. Hang tight!¡±
With a sniff, Dean McKenzie, with the mystery man on his back, started sprinting.
At level 52, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Agility attribute had increased to 24, with the addition of 30 Agility attribute points at level 51, his Agility has reached 693.8. This level of agility was horrifyingpared to warriors or assassins of the same level.
In the face of life and death, Dean McKenzie discarded all fear and raced off with the mystery man on his back.
The speed surprised the mystery man.
Although he had been tracking Dean McKenzie throughout their chase, he couldn¡¯t fully grasp Dean McKenzie¡¯s extraordinary speed due to the distance and the limitations of the spell. Dean McKenzie was the one doing the running. Now, being carried by Dean McKenzie, he was startled to find that Dean McKenzie, a second-turn Necromancer, had an Agility attribute nearing 700. More preternatural than Dean McKenzie¡¯s Agility was his Stamina. He ran non-stop for over ten minutes without panting.
Keep m mind that Dean McKenzie¡¯s current speed was terrifying; it surpassed a hundred kilometers an hour.
After running two hours straight, plus the duration before, how long could he keep this up?
¡°What¡¯s the origin of this physical strength?
As a second-turn Necromancer, isn¡¯t this kind of physical strength against the rules?¡±
¡°Oh, are you referring to this?
Some medication I took was responsible for that!¡±
¡°Medication? What kind of medication?¡±
¡°There. This!¡±
Dean McKenzie took out a bottle of Eternal Potion and dangled it in front of the mystery man¡¯s eyes.
Seeing the Eternal Potion, the mystery man¡¯s eyes widened and he stormed, ¡°No way. Anthony actually got you this? He has never even offered it to me! I¡¯m done. Put me down. I can¡¯t deal with this!¡±
He spoke so disdainfully that Dean McKenzie felt a chill running up his spine. The mystery man on his back was wriggling like a loach. But before Dean McKenzie knew how to react, the mystery man stopped himself.
¡°Watch out, someone¡¯sing from the left!¡±
The mystery man had barely finished speaking when Dean McKenzie sensed a vague figure approaching them.
Out of instinct, he let out a Bone Resistance attack.
The horrific bone blossomed on the ground, but Dean McKenzie felt a frown creeping onto his face.
It missed!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s senses told him that the stranger skillfully evaded his Bone Resistance¡¯s attack range at the same time it was released.
At the same time, the stranger took a detour and was now behind Dean McKenzie.
Instinctively, Dean McKenzie began to turn around to confront him when the mystery man¡¯s instruction sounded in his ear.
¡°Twelve o clock, Bone Spear!¡±
Startled, Dean McKenzie obeyed the instruction and attacked the seemingly empty spot at twelve o¡¯clock.
Right when his Bone Spear was released,
With a ¡°thud¡±, a slender figure was impaled and pinned to the spot. Taking advantage of this, Dean McKenzie sent out a Bone Fang, sweeping the figure away.
[You have sessfully killed the Ninja Master (Rare) (level 80), your level has increased to 53!]
[You used Extraction sessfully, received 50 attribute points, and obtained a
Rare Fragment.]
Another Rare Fragment in hand.
He just needed one more toplete another Rare Temte.
Before Dean McKenzie could express his excitement, the mystery man on his back urged, ¡°We need to move. Stop dawdling!¡±
You¡¯re the one dragging us down.
That¡¯s what Dean McKenzie was grumbling in his heart, but wisely he didn¡¯t voice it out.
Even though he didn¡¯t have a girlfriend, by this time, he had already learned how to deal with women.
Yes, women.
From the sensation of carrying her on his back and her jealous demeanor, Dean was certain that this mysterious person was a woman and closely rted to Anthony.
She might even be his sister-inw.
Having spected her identity, Dean naturally wouldn¡¯t argue with her.
Carrying his sister-inw, oh no, the mysterious person, he moved southwards.
Thanks to a buff from the mysterious person, there were fewer followers during their journey.
But not none.
After all, the mysterious person¡¯s buff could only shield them from divination and tracking skills, but it couldn¡¯t stop someone from guessing Dean¡¯s intent and setting up an ambush on the road.
Along the way, Dean fell into five ambushes.
Each one more dangerous than thest.
Out of the five ambushes, Dean only managed to fight back sessfully once. The rest of the time, he mostly escaped the encirclement in a sorry state under themand of the mysterious person.
And each escape was messier than thest.
Especially thest one, where the attacker was actually a Fourth-turn professional.
That guy was downright dishonourable, with a rare Fourth-turn temte and already two turns above Dean, he still set up an ambush and tried to sneak attack.
Isn¡¯t that bullying people?
Not only did it surprise Dean, but the mysterious person also almost let her guard down.
It was only after paying a huge price that they managed to escape from the Fourth-turn powerhouse.
More urately, it was the mysterious person who paid the huge price.
During the confrontation with the Fourth-turn professional, Dean couldn¡¯t even get a chance to assist.
It was only after that skirmish that Dean realized how terrifying a Fourth-turn professional could be and came to understand why Anthony previously said that reaching the Fourth-turn was only the threshold of bing a strong yer.
Even though Dean¡¯sbat power was already at the peak of Third-turn, he seemed just as the Third-turn professionals did in front of him when faced with a Fourth-turn professional.
Facing a Fourth-turn level existence, Dean could only rely on the mysterious woman.
The mysterious woman was first severely injured by Bruce Hodge andter sneak-attacked while facing the Fourth-turn professional. Her current state was notpletely exhausted, but at least was half-dead.
If another Fourth-turn attacked, she wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on.
Fortunately, after encountering the Fourth-turn professional, they arrived at the seaside.
ording to the mysterious person, once they reached the seaside, she could ensure their safety.
As such, seeing the ever-closer coastline, Dean¡¯s mood gradually brightened.
But some people were just annoying.
They always appeared when you were feeling rxed and your mood was at its best,pletely ruining it.
Just as the coastline was almost within reach.
A silhouette appeared in Dean¡¯s vision.
It was an extremely young figure, looking about his twenties, wearing blood-red armor, a blood-red cloak, and holding a blood-red longsword.
What was more exaggerated were his eyes and hair, which held a dense bloody shade.
He was standing in front of the coastline, emanating an undeniable bloody odor.
Upon seeing him, Dean hesitated, instinctively casting an appraisal skill.
As soon as Dean cast the appraisal skill, the other party seemed to be aware immediately.
He even released his defenses and let Dean¡¯s appraisal skillnd on him.
[You sessfully used Appraisal, and gained the attributes of the ¡°Bloody Child¡±]!

Equipment: Holy Set (Sword, Armor, Boots, Helmet, Gloves) (Gold Suit) PS: What you see are the most basic attributes, equipment traits, and skill bonuses are not included.
¡°Damn!¡±
When Dean saw the other¡¯s attributes, he lost his bearing on the spot: ¡°Are these even human attributes?¡±
The mysterious woman behind Dean seemed quiteposed.
¡°The one standing before you is one of the candidate sons of the Bloody Church. He has a perfect temte and a gold suit, plus the unique ¡®Blood Sacrifice¡¯ of the Bloody Church. It¡¯s normal for his attributes to be a bit exaggerated.¡±
¡°But he¡¯s so exaggerated that he surpassed me!¡±
At Dean¡¯s words, the mysterious person immediately lost herposure.
She turned her head and gave Dean a nce.
Don¡¯t you think about what you just said?
At this moment, the Bloody Child from the opposite side spoke up.
¡°Be my follower and you can live!
Otherwise, die!¡±

¡°What¡ what did he say?¡±
Dean McKenzie asked the mysterious man behind him in uncertainty.
The mysterious man rolled his eyes: ¡°Aren¡¯t you deaf!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m deaf, I just find it hard to believe, is this guy really that brave?
Doesn¡¯t he know I can fight well?
Bone Fang!¡±
While Dean McKenzie was speaking, he immediately initiated the attack.
The Bone Fang attack went straight for the Bloody Warrior¡¯s head!
¡°You are very brave!¡±
The Bloody Warrior on the other side slightly nodded, his face full of admiration.
At the same time, he stepped forward and avoided Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang attack which was almost impossible to dodge after adding the skill [Rapid Shot], His body converted into a red light.
Swinging the sword in his hand, he prepared to rush forward.
At this moment, Dean McKenzie shouted!
¡°st!¡±
Instantly, the Bone Fang split into fifty pieces and swept towards the Bloody Warrior.
This double damage was very sudden and could often catch people off guard.
However, it seemed to be of no use to the Bloody Warrior.
This guy had tremendousbat experience and seemed to have a terrifyingbat instinct.
He didn¡¯t even nce at the split Bone Fang, took two steps to the side and with a swing of his sword, he either dodged or blocked the split Bone Fangs.
The entire process was elegant andposed, like a peony blooming in the midst of blood.
He even had the leisure toment on Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang: ¡°The skill¡¯s power is quite good, the technique is not bad, for a second-turn mage you¡¯re already exceptional, even better than most third-turn, but unfortunately your opponent is me!
Since you¡¯ve made your choice through your actions, it¡¯s time for me to keep my promise.
Die!¡±
Alongside a calm and indifferent deration.
The Bloody Warrior transformed into a bloody rainbow light and came in front of Dean McKenzie in an instant.
¡°Why are you always so pretentious?
Bone Resistance!¡±
With a cold snort, Dean McKenzie discharged the charged up Bone Resistance and missed!
The opponent stopped advancing at the moment the Bone Resistance fell, and he skirted the range of the Bone Resistance.
His movement was like a dancer on the tip of a knife.
It seemed dangerous and thrilling, but the Bloody Warrior¡¯s face was always filled with absolute confidence.
He gracefully arrived in front of Dean McKenzie.
¡°Checkmate!¡±
¡°It¡¯s checkmate indeed, but not me checking you, but me checking you!¡±
Dean McKenzie gave a broad grin.
¡°Bone Prison!¡±
The next moment, the Bone Prison rose, imprisoning Dean McKenzie and the Bloody Warrior together.
The act of drawing a circle to take the ground as a prison, even made the Bloody Warrior, who had had an easy time, stunned.
He never saw this strategy.
A mage actually locked himself together with a warrior.
However, the Bloody Warrior¡¯s reaction was still very fast.
No matter what the plot of Dean McKenzie, just cut down Dean McKenzie directly.
The long sword in his hand stabbed out, trying to stab Dean McKenzie to death.
At this time, the Bone, which was wrapped in gray energy, appeared on Dean McKenzie¡¯s body.
¡°Ding!¡±
The long sword in the Bloody Warrior¡¯s hand only prated one-third and was stopped.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie swiped his hand, and a [Vision Deprivation] hit the head of the Bloody Warrior.
The blood-colored light blinked on the opponent¡¯s helmet, directly ignoring Dean McKenzie¡¯s control.
As soon as this control was immune, the gate of bone behind Dean McKenzie opened, and Doggy Two¡¯s head stretched out, the Bone King burst instantly.
The Bloody Warrior¡¯s pupils were in turmoil, as Doggy Two dug up from the ground and activated Bone Eruption.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) activated[Bone Eruption], upgrading this skill to level 2!]
[After activating the skill, all attributes increased by 250%, and attack increased by 11000!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) activated[Explosive Bone Power], the damage of the next attack increased by 205%!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) used [Heavy Destruction]!]
With the continuous system prompts refreshing, the energy that Doggy Two¡¯s skeleton erupted instantly reached a terrifying extreme.
The entire skeleton med up with a gray fire.
The[Bone Sword]within its grasp also shed at this moment.
Doggy Two¡¯s attack made the Bloody Warrior¡¯s heart sound an ear-piercing rm, awakening him from his state of confusion.
But it was toote!
He could not block this attack, and he couldn¡¯t retreat either as the Bone Prison was behind him.
The Bloody Warrior now understood why Dean McKenzie used this Bone Prison.
But it was toote.
Doggy Two¡¯s attack had already erupted on him.
¡°Puff!¡±
One attack, directly sweeping away the long sword in the Bloody Warrior¡¯s hand shed on his body, splitting the Bloody Warrior in half with one sword.
¡°Well done!¡±
Dean McKenzie was overjoyed at what he saw.
However, before Dean could revel in his victory, the Son of Blood¡¯s body disintegrated into a pool of blood that quickly evaporated into a beam of red light and vanished.
Seeing this, the joy on Dean¡¯s face instantly became sadness.
¡°No, don¡¯t go!
I¡¯ve just managed to defeat you with all my might, and yet you slipped through my fingers!
Did I fight for nothing?¡±
Just like that, Dean had to watch a Perfect Temte fragment and a Gold Suit slip through his fingers. How could this not upset him?
Especially when Dean saw that his Doggy Two had exhausted all his strength in just 15 seconds, his Bone Sword shattered, and his own skeletal frame was riddled with cracks.
If it wasn¡¯t for the great damage taken by the Bone Throne, Doggy Two would be finished. This thought broke Dean¡¯s heart even more.
¡°I¡¯m such a failure!¡±
Dean¡¯s sudden sorrow left the mysterious person next to him bewildered.
Dean, with his Rare Temte which was only a second-turn, fought and defeated a third-turn peak Perfect Temte in just a couple of blows. Despite this, Dean wasn¡¯t satisfied because he wasn¡¯t able to capture his opponent, leading to self-me and feelings of disappointment. If it were the other guy¡¯s position, wouldn¡¯t they want to die immediately?
But although Dean regretted letting the Son of Blood escape, he didn¡¯t hesitate to head for the coastline.
For one, the coastline was just in sight.
Also, Dean was worried that beings like the Son of Blood would not appear solo. If he fought the small one, the big one woulde.
His fears turned out to be founded.
Just as he started moving, a huge bloody hand reached out towards him.
At the same time, a dozen bloody shadows rushed towards Dean from all directions.
Dean sensed very clearly that each of these shadows possessed thebat power of a top-tier third-turn fighter, two even being fourth-turn existences.
And the bloody hand looming over him gave Dean a sense of dread even more terrifying than a fourth-turn foe.
They were attacking from all angles.
Dean went pale.
¡°Damn it!¡±
At that point, even Dean wanted to let out a string of curses.
Ever since he left Spring City, the enemies he encountered were all the sneaky, dishonorable type.
Take Bruce Hodge for instance, With ease, he defeated the mysterious man, who despite being heavily injured and only operating at 1% of his abilities, could handle a fourth-turn fighter.
When he made a move against Dean, it gave him the feeling of an endgame boss blocking the entrance to the beginner¡¯s vige.
As for theter ambushes by fourth-turn fighters, and the trapid by the Bloody Church, Dean waspletely resigned to this unscrupulous lot.
If it were just Dean alone today, he fears he would¡¯ve met his end here.
Fortunately for him, Dean wasn¡¯t alone.
He had the mysterious person with him!
Facing the inexorable trap, she told Dean, ¡°Close your eyes, retract your spiritual power. Don¡¯t look and don¡¯t worry about anything. All you need to do is dash!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
In the face of the current situation, Dean had no choice but to trust the mysterious stranger.
He closed his eyes, retracted his spiritual power, and sprinted full force towards the coastline.
While Dean was sprinting, the mysterious person behind him began throwing ck crystal balls out haphazardly.
The thrown ck crystal balls exploded, turning into a ck fog and forming a dark path for Dean to follow.
In this dark pathway, the people from the Bloody Church who were surrounding him lost their directions.
That huge bloody hand also lost track of Dean and couldn¡¯t pinpoint his location.
The only cost to this was the decrease of the mysterious person¡¯s stock of 9980 ck Crystals, dropping at overwhelming speed.
Basically, every meter Dean moved forward, she would lose about 5 to 10 of them.
By the time Dean charged to the coastline, the mysterious person had less than 3000 ck Crystals left.
Just as the coastline came into sight, a bloody figure suddenly emerged from the ck fog.
¡°Stay right there!¡±
With a cold hum, a p was delivered.
With a ¡°crack¡±, Dean¡¯s Bone Armor shattered instantly.
¡°Go!¡±
Almost simultaneously, the mysterious person pinned a token onto Dean.
As the token touched Dean, a golden light enveloped him.
However, the golden light pushed the mysterious person standing behind Dean away.
Dean¡¯s face hardened, and he subconsciously turned around.
As Dean turned around, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a bloody robe wave his hand, and several bloody chains bound the mysterious person solidly.
Their eyes locked, and the middle-aged man threatened in a stern voice, ¡°Stop! Or I¡¯ll kill him!¡±
However, the middle-aged man¡¯s threat had no effect on Dean. It wasn¡¯t that Dean was heartless, but this was something he had no control over.
No matter what Dean tried to do, the golden light remained unfaltering.
Dean, sensing his imminent departure, stared coldly at the middle-aged man,¡±Don¡¯t harm her, or else I¡¡±
Before Dean could finish, the middle-aged man waved his hand to attack the golden light.
But it was a step toote. The golden light enveloping Dean flickered once and pulled him into the ocean, vanishing without a trace.
And just as Dean entered the ocean, the familiar feeling of weightlessness returned.
When he touched the ground, the system notification had already refreshed in front of his eyes.
[You have entered a special Secret Realm Map, Dragon Pce Ruins!]

Secret Realm, Dragon Pce Ruins!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure appeared out of nowhere in a corner of the ruins.
Clearly, after entering this secret realm, McKenzie had temporarily escaped danger.
But McKenzie¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t that great at the moment.
After all, the mysterious man who had been protecting him along the way had an ident just as he was about to enter the Dragon Pce Ruins and was caught by a group that was clearly from the Bloody Church.
McKenzie had no idea what was awaiting the mysterious man.
If he had any humanity left in him, his mood wouldn¡¯t be too great at the moment.
¡°I¡¯m still not strong enough!¡±
McKenzie recalled thest formation that surrounded him and Bruce Hodge, who was called away by a call earlier.
Needless to say about the former.
Against thest encirclement, and the guy who captured the mysterious man in the end, McKenzie estimated that at least a fourth-turn was needed to be able to resist.
As for Bruce Hodge who was called away by a call?
McKenzie estimated that he would probably need to be at the fifth-turn to even have a chance to resist.
¡°I must leave this secret realm as soon as possible and grow quickly.
That person was captured while trying to save me, no matter what, I have to rescue him.
The Bloody Church, is it?
I will remember you!¡±
McKenzie, grim-faced, spread his spiritual power and looked around vigntly.
Having gone through this wave of events, McKenzie had notably matured a lot and had be much more cautious.
Even while worrying about the mysterious man, he hadn¡¯t forgotten to understand his own situation.
As McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power unfolded and his eyes scanned the surroundings, a magical world appeared before his eyes.
McKenzie found that the secret realm he was in seemed to be inside a giant bubble ball.
The sky he looked up at was a transparent membrane, and above the membrane was the vast sea.
McKenzie could even see many deep-sea fish, some strange-looking and others cute, swimming above his head.
Moreover, due to the sea overhead, McKenzie clearly felt that this secret realm was filled with boundless water elemental energy.
With his Meditation skill activated, countless strands of power were swirling around him, waiting for McKenzie¡¯s favor.
With just a little sensing, McKenzie knew clearly that he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about his mana in this secret realm.
He could never exhaust it!
In the secret realm, McKenzie saw rubble all over the ce.
Originally grand and magnificent buildingsy in ruins, like the secret realm had been ravaged by a battle.
He couldn¡¯t see an intact building anywhere he looked.
The whole realm was in tatters.
However, amidst this wastnd environment, there seemed to be creatures. McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power had sensed something, and at the same time, something had sensed McKenzie¡¯s presence.
¡°Boom!¡±
Not far from McKenzie, the ruins of a pce were pushed open, and a group of upright lobsters, about a person high, d in red thick armor and wielding tworge pincers, emerged.

Skills: A few
One shrimp generales with a group of about 50 shrimp soldiers.
Seeing these attributes and formations, McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up. He suddenly realized that maybe this secret realm was well suited for him!
¡°Bone Fang!¡±
McKenzie raised his hand and pointed a Bone Fang directly at the shrimp general, nning to take out the boss first.
But to McKenzie¡¯s surprise, the shrimp general wasn¡¯t so easy to deal with. McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang attack was faster than thunder, but the shrimp general¡¯s pincers were not slow either.
McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang barely struck when it was struck by the shrimp general¡¯s pincers and deflected.
The result was, the Bone Fang was deflected, and the shrimp general was down to only one pincer.
At the same time, the shrimp soldiers surrounded McKenzie all at once.
¡°Bone Resistance!¡±
McKenzie instinctively cast Bone Resistance.
The bones blossomed like lotus flowers, smashing the nearest dozen shrimp soldiers.
The subsequent shrimp soldiers fearlessly continued to charge at McKenzie, but he wasn¡¯t about to let them crash into him.
Don¡¯t think that the attack of these shrimp soldiers on the attribute screen is only 1500, the actual skill burst can be at least ten times that.
If several of theme up together, McKenzie, even with Bone Armor on, couldn¡¯t bear it.
So, the Bone Prison rose again, surrounding McKenzie.
With the support of the Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat, the Bone Prison¡¯s level reached level 3.
The base energy came to Spirit times 8.5 plus 14400.
Additionally, with the blessing of Bone Control, McKenzie¡¯s Bone Prison defense reached as high as 44000, with about 5300 defense solidified, able to reflect 10% of damage.
Even facing this group of shrimp soldiers he could hold out for a while.
And these shrimp soldiers had high offense and low defense.
A wave of soldiers exploded on the Bone Prison, hardly hurting the Bone Prison at all, but they were in a miserable shape from the reflected damage. McKenzie seized the opportunity, killing the shrimp soldiers that rushed at him one by one.
By the time the Bone Prison had shattered, only a few shrimp soldiers were left in front of McKenzie..

At the same time as the Bone Prison shattered, the shrimp leader snuck up and attacked Dean McKenzie with its remaining pincer, smashing against his Bone Armor.
This strike gave Dean a fright.
With one blow, the Bone Armor protecting Dean was shattered.
Even the Earth Guardian passive from his Meditation skill housed within the Bone Armor had been broken. If not for Dean¡¯s Invisible Shield, he would have perished on the spot.
A quick estimate put the Shrimp Commander¡¯s strike at over 70,000 in power. This level of attack power was simply cheat-level.
Luckily, Dean was a cheat too, so he eventually triumphed.
After withstanding the attack, Dean retaliated by sticking his Bone Fang smack on its forehead, killing it on the spot.
With the death of the shrimp leader, the remaining shrimps posed no threat. Dean tried to beat them into submission and confine them to the Land of Bone. But it was impossible.
Old Six¡¯s dungeon couldn¡¯t contain such high-level beings.
If he were careless and they escaped, it would cause too much damage to Dean¡¯s domain.
So Dean had to kill them all.
[You have killed [Shrimp Squad] Excellent level 80 (50), Rare level 80 (1), your Level has increased to 57!]
[Your Strength, Physique, and Agility have each increased by 18 points, Spirit has increased by 24 points!)
[You have been granted a talent quota, currently remaining quota: 2!] After all, they were level 80 monsters. In one swoop, Dean had leveled up from 54 to 57.
If he continued to y a few more waves, Dean could reach a Three-turn at level 60.
While his level was skyrocketing, Dean was troubled looking at the Shrimp Squad in front of him.
Since these were all level 80 creatures, he couldn¡¯t hold back He was at a loss for what to do after wiping out this squad.
Should he extract and create a temte now, or hold back and see if he can level up his skills within 90 minutes?
Let¡¯s pick up the loot first and store the corpses in the Land of Bone. I can probably extract from the leader shrimp.
I do have two Rare Fragments on hand now. Grabbing another one would allow me tobine them into a Rare Temte.
I can then upgrade Doggy Two or Doggy Eight.
I should prioritize Doggy Eight!
The monsters on this map are level 80, so it¡¯s a high-level area. It would be more beneficial to first upgrade Doggy Eight for exploring!¡±
With that, Dean set to work.
He directed the skeletons to move the lobster carcasses scattered all over into the Land of Bone. He picked up and opened all the glowpoints on the ground, and simultaneously extracted data from the shrimp leader.
[Talent Extraction used on {Devolved Shrimp Leader}, you¡¯ve gained 50 attribute points, and obtained a Rare Temte Fragment!]
[You¡¯vebined a Rare Temte!]
[You¡¯ve spent 50 Gold Coins to grant the upgrade Rare Temte to your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight), improving its Temte Quality!]
[You¡¯ve opened 155 Glowpoints!]
[You¡¯ve obtained 550 Gold Coins, 1 {Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit} (Small), food ingredient {Lobster Meat}, equipment {Ring of Wandering Dragon} (Silver)¡.] Opening 155 glowpoints yielded quite arge haul.
Of them all, what caught Dean¡¯s eye was undoubtedly the {Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit} (Small), the Ring of Wandering Dragon and the lobster that can be used as food.
Name: Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit (Small)
Effect: Upon consumption, permanently increase Spirit limit by 60 points.
Food Ingredient: Lobster Meat
Quality: Silver
Description: Sashimi-grade lobster meat. Can be eaten raw to restore stamina and increase Strength by 20%,sting for 3 hours.
Equipment: Ring of Wandering Dragon
Quality: Silver
Level: 80
Requirements: Agility 700
Effect 1: Increase Agility by 80
Effect 2: Attached skill {Wandering Dragon}, upon activation, transforms user into a dragon with the ability to teleport up to 150 meters. Dodges damage during movement.
Cost: 500 Spirit Power or 2500 Mana.
The Eternal Potion goes without saying, one bottle could increase Spirit by 60 points, limited to three bottles per person.
Dean didn¡¯t hesitate, immediately consuming it.
[You¡¯ve consumed {Eternal Potion ¨C Agility} (Small), your Agility increased to 771-8!]
[You¡¯ve consumed {Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit} (Small), your Spirit increased to 1553.4!]
Lobster meat could satisfy hunger and food storage was always important, especially in this unknown Secret Realm where it was crucial to store more food supplies.
The item Dean was most interested in was the {Ring of Wandering Dragon}.
This ring had no professional requirements.
That is, as long as Dean¡¯s Agility reached 700, he would be able to wear it.
By that time, Dean would possess a teleportation ability.
Dean had always been a turret, taking hits head-on when faced with danger not because he fancied it, but because hecked a teleportation skill.
Now things had changed. With the Ring of Wandering Dragon, Dean was now a man with teleportation ability.
Dean couldn¡¯t help but try out the ring¡¯s effect on the spot.
It was great, the skill execution was smooth and Dean quickly got the hang of
However, Dean was a tad over-enthusiastic in trying out his new teleport skill causing a little dizziness.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) temte has been upgraded sessfully, it has evolved into {Wraith Assassin with Weak Presence}!]
[Your Wraith Servant¡¯s (Doggy Eight) Strength, Physique and Spirit each increased by 20 points, Agility increased by 60 points, Spirit Power increased by 1000!]
Trait {Weak Presence} has been upgraded to C-level!
Attack is now governed by Agility plus Strength multiplied by 1..5! ]

Chapter 160:129 Old Eight Evolution, Low Presence Skeleton Assassin_3
Trantor: 549690339
Name: Unnoticeable Skeleton Assassin (Doggy Eight)
Level: 47
Temte: Rare
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Trait: Weak Presence (C) (Passively reduces the owner¡¯s presence by 100%, the probability of being detected is down by 100%)
Attributes:
Strength: 56.7, Agility: 346.7, Physique: 54.5, Spirit: 35
Attack: 605.1
Defense: 27.25
Spirit Power: 2500
Skills: Backstab (level 6), Dagger Poisoning (level 3)
One-turn: Poison Strengthening (level 3)
Strong Stealth (One-time skill enhancement) (level 5)
Looking at these attributes, it seems that Old Eight¡¯s temte hasn¡¯t improved much.
Well, in reality, he hasn¡¯t improved much!
Now, Old Eight does have somebat power.
Using his trait and the Strong Stealth skill, he can easily take on an excellent level 80 or even a rare level 80.
But he¡¯s not quite at Doggy Two¡¯s level yet.
He still needs an opportunity, an upgrade.
An upgrade thatpletely changes him.
As for how to upgrade, Old Eight already knows and has prepared for it by leveling up the Strong Stealth skill to level 5.
He¡¯s just waiting for Dean McKenzie to grant him an upgrade.
After summarizing, Dean found that apart from Old Eight who was ready, he himself also needed to enhance his own capabilities.
He could now summon three levels more powerful skeletons.
Additionally, his Bone Armor can also be upgraded once.
Enhancing Old Eight can increase his overall fighting power.
Enhancing Summon Skeleton can increase the overall level of Dean¡¯s skeletons, and enhancing Bone Armor can make Dean¡¯s safety more assured.
Moreover.
Dean felt that he should also consider enhancing some of his own skills.
One of them is Wild Intuition!
After experiencing the brief wanted incident, Dean found that this skill is indeed worth enhancing.
There were several times that this skill helped Dean sense danger in advance.
If this skill were enhanced, Dean¡¯s sense of danger would greatly improve, which would drastically reduce the chances of being ambushed.
Dean pretty much put this skill on his must-enhance list.
He had no choice; he was indeed impressed by that group of Old Six.
Apart from this skill, there were two other skills, Slow Curse, and Visual Deprivation.
The main reason was that Dean felt hecked control skills.
Bone Fang was strong, but it was often evaded. The previous shrimp general was even more outrageous; he just straight up took the hit.
If Dean had a controlling skill in hand, could they still be so arrogant?
Although these two skills aren¡¯t control skills, both have the potential to be them.
¡°It would be best to enhance a skill to the point where it can directly cause an on-site punishment, and another to directly deprive consciousness, then the control would be very strong!
One hard control followed by a Bone Fang, even the likes of the Blood Saint would have to kneel!
Moreover, the demand for the Appraisal Skill is also not small.
However, I am currently short of Grant Quota, so let¡¯s put the second-turn Vision Deprivation on hold and enhance Wild Intuition and Slow Curse first!¡±
Dean spected and listed all his skill enhancement ns.
As for which one to enhance first, Dean could only see which boss fitted what skill he encounters first.
¡°It¡¯s been almost to minutes since the first shrimp soldier was killed by me. Excluding the 15 minutes for skill upgrade, I still have 65 minutes to look around!
Time is tight, and the danger level of the current Secret Realm is uncertain, so it¡¯s better if I don¡¯t venture out myself!¡±
As Dean spoke, he opened the Gate of Bone, and with amand, the skeletons from the Land of Bone continuously marched out and rapidly dispersed in all directions.
Under Dean¡¯smand, all the skeletons went all out.
Heartlessly being cannon fodder for Dean and clearing the path for him.
Soon, Dean¡¯s skeletons spread out several kilometers away.
With the skeletons dispersing, ¡°bang¡±, pce ruins within a kilometer of Dean¡¯s surroundings were broken open, and groups of shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals crawled out.
One, two, three, only three groups?¡±
¡°Puff!¡±
Before Dean finished speaking, another slightly dull sound resounded. Dean turned his head to look.
He saw the fourth group of monsters.
Unlike the previous three groups, there was only one, a huge turtle.
[You sessfully used the Appraisal Skill. You obtained [Turtle Official Devolved to a Beast State]!]
Name: Turtle Official Devolved to a Beast State.
Level: 80
Temte: Rare
Trait: Turtle Shell Defense (C ss) passively increases defense by 100%, and when Turtle Shell Defense status is activated, defense value increases by¡¯500%. Attributes:
Strength: 800, Agility: 50, Physique: 800, Spirit: 20
Basic Attack: 800
Basic Defense: 8000 (16000)
Skills: Retraction (level 9), Weight of the Mountain (level 9)
PS: There may be undetected skills
Seeing this attribute, Dean¡¯s eyes brightened up.
¡°There¡¯s a hope for enhancing Bone Armor!¡±
Saying this, Dean swiftly took action.
He didn¡¯t target the turtle first, but focused on the other three groups of shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals.
Dean directly used a double mana Bone Fang from a long distance to the nearest shrimp general.
¡°Smack!¡±
The clumsy shrimp general tried to block it with its pincers.
Though the hit was fierce, it was pointless. The Bone Fang directly exploded with icy power, freezing the shrimp general solid.
The shrimp general exploded, and its subordinate shrimp soldiers were attracted by the hatred.
The lobsters roared as they charged over with their pincers raised.
The distance of several hundred meters, by the time they reached Dean, twenty or so had already fallen. Dean was waiting for them with his Bone Armor on and when the remaining ones all entered the attack range of Bone Resistance, he used Bone Resistance and took them all out.
Then, Dean repeated his old trick.
With almost no effort, he wiped out the other two waves.
He spent just about thirty minutes.
Having dealt with these shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, Dean finally turned his attention to that turtle!
With thirty-five minutes left, fighting one turtle shouldn¡¯t be much of a problem!
With this in mind, Dean waved the Bone Fang in his hand.
¡°Ding!¡±
It was deflected off the turtle¡¯s shell!
Chapter 161:130 Skill Enhancement-Power Surge
Chapter 161:130 Skill Enhancement-Power Surge
Trantor: 549690339
Dragon Pce Ruins.
Under the Gate of Bone, Dean McKenzie stared, bewildered, at the giant turtle hundreds of meters away.
This was the first time someone had deflected his Bone Fang since he had enhanced it.
Dean even seemed to see the symbol ¡°-O¡± appearing on the turtle shell after his Bone Fang attack.
The main issue was the turtle was exceedingly proficient at defense.
The moment Dean¡¯s attack hit it, the huge turtle swiftly pulled its limbs and head into its shell.
The speed of the action was jaw-dropping.
The proficiency of it was heart-breaking!
More importantly, when the turtle retracted itself, the 9th level of turtle shell defense activated, all the openings on the turtle like its head, limbs, and tail, closed uppletely.
The closure was incredibly tight, leaving no room to exploit.
Simultaneously, the turtle¡¯s defense soared from 16,000 to 80,000!
This was not 80,000 energy defense, but 80,000 points of fixed defense.
What did this mean?
Damage below 80,000 could not harm it at all; Only damage exceeding 80,000 could hurt it.
And that damage would be subtracted by 80,000.
With Dean¡¯s Bone Fang exerting all its power, the damage just barely reached 80,000, which was the result of doubling his mana.
Yet when Dean tried this double-mana Bone Fang.
The effect was essentially non-existent.
¡°Damn it, how do I fight this thing?¡±
His Bone Fang was now Dean¡¯s most powerful attack, and since that didn¡¯t work, what else could Dean use to fight?
His head?
¡°Wait, besides Bone Fang, it seems like I have another skill?¡±
Dean recalled his Small Meteorite Technique at that moment.
¡°Now that things havee to this, I can only try this!¡±
Saying so, Dean took off his hat.
He had no choice but to remove the hat. Without taking it off, he wouldn¡¯t have enough mana for the 2nd level Meteorite spell, which required 24,000 mana points. So, Dean had to lower his hat.
Once the hat was off, the level of the Meteorite spell dropped to level 1.
The mana consumption reduced from 24,000 to 18,000, which was still quite a lot. However, Dean¡¯s present mana limit was 18,328; he had an extra 328 points.
¡°Summon the Meteorite!¡±
As Dean chanted, all his mana emptied out instantly, and a meteorite the size of two human embraces thundered down from above the giant turtle¡¯s head, hitting the ground next to it.
The massive impact even lifted up the giant turtle, but the blow didn¡¯t cause any harm to it.
Nevertheless, a wave of grey mes followed the impact, directly spreading on the ground and enveloping the giant turtle.
At this point, Dean also started getting nervous.
Dean was very clear that the direct impact of the Small Meteorite Technique wouldn¡¯t harm the giant turtle, so he didn¡¯t expect anything from the impact at first. He pinned his hopes on the Netherworld mes.
As Dean anxiously waited, the ck Netherworld mes covered the giant turtle.
Time ticked by second by second under Dean¡¯s anxious gaze. Soon, 60 seconds were over, and the Netherworld mes receded.
The giant turtle seemed unfazed within the ck mes, just bing slightly darker.
Still not giving up, Dean waited a while longer, replenished his mana, and hit it with another Small Meteorite Technique.
Then came the third one, the fourth one!
In this Secret Realm, Dean¡¯s mana didn¡¯t cost anything.
With 15,000 mana points replenishing every minute, Dean wasn¡¯t afraid of wasting it.
¡°I simply don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t kill you. Even if I really can¡¯t kill you, I can always grind my skill proficiency!¡±
Dean gnashed his teeth, gritted his determination.
Small Meteorite Techniques fell one after another, and the system notifications refreshed in front of his eyes one by one.
[You used the Small Meteorite Technique, your Small Meteorite Technique Skill proficiency +1]
[You used the Small Meteorite Technique, your Small Meteorite Technique Skill proficiency +1]
For a moment, it seemed as if Dean had truly shifted his focus to grinding his Small Meteorite Technique proficiency.
Dean even gradually took his attention off the giant turtle and focused more on the ¡®me-based Magic Knowledge¡¯ and ¡®Meteorite Spell Knowledge¡¯ in his mind.
Even though Dean¡¯s status board showed mastery for these two skills.
In reality, Dean hadn¡¯t truly mastered them.
Those two skills were like two files stored in Dean¡¯s brain. His brain noted that he had mastered them and knew them, but in actual usage, he might be utterly baffled.
Now, while grinding his Small Meteorite Technique, Dean had the opportunity to revise these two knowledge sets.
Unexpectedly, when he began to revise, his skill proficiency in the Small Meteorite Technique increased even faster.
At the same time, the ck mes on the ground started to surge more violently.
Under these ck mes, the giant turtle, which had persisted without any abnormalities for more than 20 minutes, could no longer stand it; its turtle shell defense state copsed instantly.
The giant turtle¡¯s limbs stretched out.
¡°Now is the time!¡±
Seizing the opportunity, Dean McKenzie gave up on the Small Meteorite Technique and hit the turtle¡¯s head with his Bone Fang.
¡°Phut!¡±
This time, the Bone Fang easily prated the head and exploded inside the giant turtle¡¯s head.
The terrifying cold instantly froze the giant turtle on the spot.
At the same time, the system notification refreshed in front of Dean¡¯s eyes.
[You sessfully killed the ¡®Degenerated Giant Turtle¡¯ (Rare) (Level 80). Your level increases to Level 60!]
[Your attributes are promoted. You receive a Grant Quota. You currently have 3 remaining Grant Quotas.]
One giant turtle, plus 153 shrimp soldiers, had directly catapulted Dean McKenzie¡¯s level to the peak of the Second-turn, Level 60.
But, more importantly than the level increase, Dean had finally taken down this turtle..

¡°There¡¯s not much time left!¡±
It had been 70 minutes since Dean McKenzie killed the first shrimp soldier, and he didn¡¯t dare to dy. He immediately activated Skill Enhancement.
[You have consumed 1 Grant Quota and have opened the Skill Enhancement for [Bone Armor], you currently have 15 minutes of enhancement time!]
[You sessfully extracted from [The Turtle Official that Degenerated into a Giant Beast] and gained 50 attribute points, received Rare Purified Turtle Shell Defense, and received Excellent Essence Defense Enhancement!]
[You have used 50 Gold Coins to integrate [Turtle Shell Defense] into the Bone Hardening Trait!]
[You have sacrificed 1000 Level 47 Skeletons and extracted 25333 Attribute Points!]
[You have extracted from 150 shrimp soldiers, gained 7500 attribute points, and 150 servings of Excellent Essence!]
[You have spent 985 Gold Coins and imparted 32833 attribute points into the defense direction enhancement of [Bone Armor]]!
[You have used 750 Silver Coins and the Bone Hardening Trait has absorbed 150 servings of Excellent Essence!]
[Your skill [Bone Armor] has been sessfully enhanced!]
Skill: Bone Armor (New) (Second-turn) (One-time Grant Enhancement)
Skill Level: 1 Level (2332/1 million)
Skill Consumption: 18000 (Activation) 5000/minute (Maintenance)
Effect: Able to summon ayer of Bone Armor to protect oneself in all directions.
Able to withstand damage equal to 15 times Spirit plus 38345.
And reduces enemies¡¯ attack by 25 percent.
Invisible Shield: Your bones will constantly set a defensive value of 38345 for the Invisible Shield, which will recover in 30 minutes after being broken.
Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 4) (Rare)
Effect 1: 70 percent of the base defense skill will be a solidified skill.
Effect 2: Defense effect increases by 50 percent (this effect is applicable to Invisible Shield)
Effect 3: Can enter a Fully Enclosed Defense State, within which the defense increases 5 times and all defenses are converted to solidified defenses, but can neither attack nor move!
This one in front of Dean, is the [Bone Armor] that he managed to achieve after spending nearly two thousand gold coins.
After Dean wore the [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat], this skill was directly upgraded to Level 2, and the effect doubled. However, the mana consumption also doubled, requiring 32000 mana to activate.
This distressed Dean greatly.
¡°I did not expect to worry about my mana so soon!
It seems that if I am to enhance my skills next time, I can¡¯t be too aggressive. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to withstand the mana consumption.
Moreover, I can¡¯t afford it financially!¡±
Previously, because of the group of Bounty Hunters, Dean had as much as 2000 gold coins in his pocket before entering the side mission.
Together with the first wave of 550 gold coins, his wealth returned to the level as when he first came out of the side mission.
However, one skill enhancement consumed 1785 gold coins.
Fortunately, Dean cleaned up the battlefield afterward. Those three waves of shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, and that one turtle official dropped quite a few coins. Dean¡¯s wealth came to around 1900, only a few hundred less than before the enhancement.
From this perspective, it seems that the revenue and expenditure can be bnced.
Moreover, this doesn¡¯t even take into ount Dean¡¯s gains in other aspects. If these are added, he may even have made a significant profit.
This let Dean breathe a sigh of relief.
Afterward, Dean tested out the [Bone Armor].
Dean found that although the enhancement of the [Bone Armor] consumed a great deal, the casting was not very slow. It could be cast within two to three seconds.
After being cast, the Bone Armor was significantly different from before.
It looked more solemn with the mes burning more fiercely around the bones. It appearedrger and more majestic.
Moreover, the huge Bone Armor didn¡¯t hinder Dean from moving or casting spells.
Dean waved his hand as he looked at the Armor¡¯s skeleton, which was almost as flexible as his own hand under his control. He even felt as if he was driving a Meeh Armor.
¡°p!¡±
With a wave from Dean, the giant hand of the Bone Armor violently smashed into the ground.
One handprint actually made arge pit on the ground.
This took Dean by surprise.
¡°The power is pretty good. I would conservatively estimate it to be at least several thousand.¡±
Dean¡¯s eyes sparkled: ¡°Does that mean I could start a massacre among the monsters with the Bone Armor on?¡±
Once this idea popped up, Dean couldn¡¯t restrain himself.
Just in time, Dean¡¯s skeletons saw another group of shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals a kilometer away. Dean charged up with the Bone Armor on.
That charge was extraordinarily ferocious and aggressive.
The attacks of the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals caused insignificant damage to Dean¡¯s current Bone Armor.
After all, Dean¡¯s Bone Armor now has a fixed defense of 64000.
Dean figured out the logic behind the data of Bone Armor.
It¡¯s Spirit multiplied by 15 plus 38345, then it prioritizes the calction of the 50 percent defense effect increase of Effect 2, and finally it calctes the 50 percent increase of Bone Control.
In other words, the skill defense of Bone Armor can reach nearly 140,000.
The solidified defense, although it is only 70 percent of the base defense skill, and the pure calction is only over 40,000, this effect has also been influenced by [Bone Control].
Therefore, the solidified defense of Dean¡¯s Bone Armor is 64000.
This damage is so low that even the shrimp generals can¡¯t cause much damage even when using their ultimate skills.
However, although the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals couldn¡¯t cause much damage, Dean also couldn¡¯t cause much damage just by using the Meeh Armor..

After all, on the one hand, the attack power of Bone Armor wasn¡¯t really high. The more significant fact was that Dean McKenzie had never trained for closebat.
When he rushed in and directly started throwing punches, it was aplete mess.
After a lot of scrapping, Dean was left with no choice but to end it with a skill attack.
However, even though the Bone Mecha¡¯s idea couldn¡¯t be realized, Dean was still very happy. The enhancement of his Bone Armor brought his defense to a degree that would reduce a third-turn existence to tears.
More importantly, Dean found that the creatures on the outskirts of the Dragon Pce Ruins were at least at the third-turn, level 80.
For Dean, it was as if a mouse had fallen into a container of rice.
He was over the moon!
He continuously dispatched his skeletons.
Constantly drawing out the shrimp soldiers hidden beneath the ruins, Dean then methodically cleaned them up.
Of course, while cleaning up, Dean didn¡¯t forget to enhance his skills.
Within less than a day, Dean had sessively enhanced Doggy Two¡¯s {Strong Stealth}, his {Slow Curse} and {Wild Intuition}.
After these three skills were enhanced, they underwent earth-shattering transformations.
Skill: Wild Intuition (once enhanced)
Level: 6 (122/150,000)
Effect: Able to passively sense threats affecting safety with 100% perception rate.
Trait: ident Perception (level 6) (Sometimes it may offer unexpected perceptual information!)
PS: If something has a level too higher than yours or possesses hidden skills, it may deceive your perception to some extent.
Skill: Slow Curse (once enhanced)
Level: 4 (3211/100,000)
Cost: 3000
Effect: Curse the target that slows their speed by 300% for 30 seconds.
Trait: On-site Punishment (level 6) (After skill activation, it can immobilize the target for three seconds).
One of these skills can be enhanced three times in one breath, and the other can be enhanced twice.
But Dean didn¡¯t enhance them all at once; he only tried to enhance them once to test the waters.
And the result of these two enhancements surprised Dean. Especially with the {Slow Curse}, whichpletely prated into his heart.
Making the target stay still for three seconds is the ideal skill effect that Dean could ask for.
On the other hand, at the beginning, the enhancement of {Wild Intuition} didn¡¯t seem to be very powerful to Dean.
But not long after the {Wild Intuition} was enhanced, Dean gradually discovered something peculiar about this enhanced skill.
Sometimes, it would offer a sh of insight, providing Dean with beneficial information that he would otherwise overlook.
Under the influence of Wild Intuition¡¯s skill effect, Dean found a group of special shrimp soldiers.
Dean extracted an essence called {Energy Burst} from one of these shrimp soldiers.
Dean integrated this essence with Doggy Two¡¯s skill.
He then fed in 300 Excellent Essence, which cost him 2200 gold, a few hundred more than his own {Bone Armor}, toplete the enhancement of Doggy Two¡¯s {Strong Stealth}.
After this enhancement, Doggy Two immediately took flight!
Skill: Strong Stealth (twice enhanced)
Level: 5
Cost: 1000 spirit power
Effect: Once activated, enter a stealth state. Stealth effect increases by 200%, and gain 2 seconds of invincibility (can choose to activate).
Entering shadow status can avoid physical damage!
Upon termination, increase the first attack by 300%.
Trait: Power of Shadow (level 5), after entering stealth, you can shuttle in the shadow and simultaneously gain agility plus 5.5 times spirit power plus 45757 Power of Shadow, which can be used to boost own attack after removing stealth.
Skill duration: 10 spirit power/second (Entering shadow nesting status can avoid consumption and recover Power of Shadow, replenishing 1% per minute)
Energy Burst (level 3) (Rare) can absorb energy and umte it in one ce, releasing the energy when attacking,
Maximum absorption limit: 50,000
Skill cooldown time: 5 minutes (counted from the release of the skill)
As soon as this skill was strengthened, Doggy Two was upgraded to an unreasonable degree.
Theoretically speaking, Doggy Two could deal damage in the hundreds of thousands.
With one strike, even Dean would bite the dust.
What¡¯s more important is that his skill cooldown time is reduced to 5 minutes, and it¡¯s timed right after the skill is used.
Even if {Energy Burst} isn¡¯t activated, Doggy Two could still be a terrifying nightmare lurking within the shadow.
After this enhancement, Doggy Two was incredibly hyped.
He seized an opportunity and stealthily sneaked into the Land of Bone to show off and seek revenge on Doggy Two.
After all, Doggy Two was the primary motivation for Doggy Two¡¯s strength enhancement.
And then, Doggy Two was in trouble. Although Doggy Two had specifically trained a bodyguard army to deal with Doggy Two, it was pointless.
Once Doggy Two entered stealth, Doggy Two¡¯s bodyguard army became blind.
By the time they found Doggy Two, Doggy Two was dismantled, and the throne was taken.
His swagger was so great that it was as if he was venting all the pent-up anger from when he was bullied by Doggy Two in the instance dungeon.
Doggy Two was furious.
After the incident, Doggy Two came out of the Land of Bone with a skeleton, insisting that Dean must enhance him. He couldn¡¯t swallow this resentment.
Dean was somewhat troubled.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to enhance Doggy Two, but that Doggy Two¡¯s skill wasn¡¯t at the enhancement level.
¡°How can I enhance you? It seems like upgrading the temte alone is not enough, I really¡ oh, it seems like I have a solution.¡±
Just when Dean was feeling troubled, Wild Intuition sent him special information.
This time, it seemed to be rted to Doggy Two¡¯s enhancement!

Dragon Pce Ruins!
Thanks to the trait ¡°ident Perception¡± unlocking via the skill ¡°Wild Intuition¡±, Dean McKenzie had a vague feeling that, if he walked in a certain direction, he could find something important today.
Furthermore, it seemed to be rted to Doggy Two.
Against this sudden intuition, Dean McKenzie still trusted it.
After all, Old Eight had received an enhancement that way in the past.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie unhesitatingly headed in the direction guided by his intuition.
Even though he followed his gut feeling, Dean McKenzie did not hastily force his entry.
Despite all of the monsters encountered thus far being level 80 in this instance, Dean McKenzie maintained absolute caution.
He even kept the skill ¡°Bone Armor¡± active at all times.
Anyway, he was not short on mana in this Secret Realm, consuming 5,000 mana per minute was within his capacity.
Moreover, with the Bone Armor active, not only was Dean McKenzie very safe, but the proficiency of this skill was continually refreshed.
Why not reap the numerous benefits offered for free, Dean McKenzie had nothing to lose.
But that was not the extent of his caution.
Aside from having ¡°Bone Armor¡± activated, Dean McKenzie also put Old Eight, who was in a ¡°Strong Stealth¡± state, at the forefront to lead the way.
After Old Eight entered the Secret Realm, the quality of its temte improved, and its skill gained enhancement.
The hiding effect of the ¡°Strong Stealth¡± skill alone was even more powerful than before.
Dean McKenzie was not able to detect its presence at all when Old Eight moved around him.
With it leading the way, Dean McKenzie felt a lot safer.
But Old Eight was unaware that it was acting on behalf of Old Two, its recently improved strength had it particrly excited and motivated.
It was performing exceptionally well.
Any rustling or hidden monsters found along the way was detected by it.
Following Old Eight¡¯s lead, Dean McKenzie swiftly arrived at the location indicated by ¡°Wild Intuition¡±.
As he got closer, Dean McKenzie noticed things were different than elsewhere.
The ruins here were more thoroughly destroyed.
Not only were the buildingspletely annihted, but the ground was also pocked with over a dozenrge pits.
Thergest one went several dozens of meters deep into the ground.
ording to the information provided by Wild Intuition, that object was at the bottom of the deepest pit.
Seeing the approaching location, Dean McKenzie promptly stopped Old Eight from moving any closer.
Although Old Eight had invulnerability for 2 seconds and had its skill cooldownplete, providing a total of 4. seconds of invulnerability with another skill cast, Dean McKenzie still considered it better to be cautious.
¡°Risk oftenes with opportunity.
Based on the information from Wild Intuition and the surroundings, it¡¯s possible we are about to face the final BOSS of this Secret Realm.
Considering that base level 80 minions are Excellent and small bosses are Rare Quality, this boss might be of Perfect Quality.¡±
If it was only a level 80 Perfect, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t worry, but it¡¯s scary if it¡¯s not level 80.
So, Dean McKenzie was especially careful.
After holding back Old Eight, he summoned some regr skeletons from the Gate of Bone, directing them towards the bottom of the deep pit.
And it turned out that Dean McKenzie¡¯s caution was not redundant.
No sooner had that group of skeletons arrived than a dragon roar echoed out.
¡°Rawr!¡±
A roar like a dragon.
Instantly, even Dean McKenzie, who was standing hundreds of meters away, felt a wave of dizziness.
Old Eight, who was beside him, was even worse¡ªit blindly started towards the deep pit in a daze.
That group of skeletons Dean McKenzie had dispatched to the pit was annihted in the dragon¡¯s roar.
Such a scene was terrifying enough on its own, but it didn¡¯t end there!
After the roar of the dragon, an aggressive whistling broke out.
Immediately after, a water-blue dragon w came swiping at Dean McKenzie.
¡°Damn!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s face changed drastically. His immediate reaction was to activate the ¡°Ring of Wandering Dragon¡± to gain distance from the object by 150 meters. But it was no use, the dragon w shadowed him like a specter.
Dean McKenzie could only grit his teeth and activate the defensive mode of the ¡°Bone Armor¡±!
Suddenly, the ¡°Bone Armor¡± around Dean McKenzie looked much denser.
The foldingyers of Bone Armor seemed like a giant squatting down.
As the Bone Armor folded, defense levels soared.
A defense of nearly 14.0 thousand surged to 700 thousand, providing solid protection.
¡°Crack!¡±
The dragon¡¯s wnded on the Bone Armor, leaving a huge crack. The fracture ran from the outermostyer to the innermostyer, barely missing Dean McKenzie.
Cold sweat soaked through Dean McKenzie.
It must be known that when his Bone Armor entered the state of Fully Enclosed Defense, its defense peaked at level 70, and it also reduced attack power by 25%.
The force that could permeate 25% of its attack power could only mean that the dragon w¡¯s attack was nearly a million-grade.
Only a Fourth-turn creature could generate such damage, and it certainly wasn¡¯t an ordinary Fourth-turn creature.
¡°Now, how am I supposed to deal with it?¡±
Fortunately, it had onlyunched a single attack without pursuing any further.
Otherwise, if it struck again, Dean McKenzie was a dead man beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie hastened his departure, making his way further from the deep pit while casting a lingering, daunted nce back, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the bosses in the Secret Realm be of this level? This is an existence that a Third-turn cannot challenge!
Keep a distance from this ce, definitely avoiding near it again!¡±
As for enhancing Doggy Two?
He has to survive first before he can consider enhancing it!
After giving up on the hole, Dean McKenzie turned his attention back towards the continued exploration of the Dragon Pce Ruins..
Chapter 165:131 Summon Skeleton Three Strong_2
Chapter 165:131 Summon Skeleton Three Strong_2
Trantor: 549690339
In fact, after more than a day of exploration, Dean McKenzie had already explored about ten kilometers of the ruins since he arrived.
During the exploration of the ruins, Dean McKenzie continuously climbed to high ces to observe.
Through Dean McKenzie¡¯s observation, he found that the area he had cleared was almost a third of this ruin.
Dean McKenzie also had a general understanding of the whole picture of this ruin.
This ruin is in a bubble.
The previous pit is located roughly in the center of the bubble.
Dean McKenzie started from the center and began to explore the surrounding area.
Because of the scare from the pit, Dean McKenzie realized that the depth of this secret realm was much deeper than he thought, and there might be fourth-turn existences.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie was extremely careful during this exploration journey.
Even Old Eight is also fairly cautious, standing in one ce and dispersing all the skeletons in the Land of Bone.
After all, these skeletons are disposable, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t feel distressed even if all of them died.
He could just summon again, which costs one hundred Mana each. Dean McKenzie had plenty of Mana at the moment.
In order to thoroughly understand this secret realm, Dean McKenzie even sent out the unexiled skeletons to scout.
After messing around for a day. Dean McKenzie came to a result that he didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or worried about.
That is, except for the boss near the pit, it seems that there are no other bosses above the fourth-turn in the entire secret realm.
This is both good news and bad news.
The good news is that Dean McKenzie would be safe as long as he didn¡¯t get near the pit.
However, the bad news is.
If the exit from this secret realm is near that pit, Dean McKenzie might find it difficult to leave.
¡°At this point, I can only hope that¡¯s not the case!
Let¡¯s get rid of the remaining two-thirds of the creatures first!
Use them to enhance [Bone Summoning]!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, taking action immediately.
He directed the skeletons, and after half a day, he lured the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals in the secret realm map to one ce.
Next, it was Dean McKenzie¡¯s time to perform.
Dean McKenzie shrank back from the boss near the pit, but he struck hard against the thousand or so shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals he had gathered.
He dived right in with his [Bone Armor].
Dean McKenzie fell to the ground and was immediately covered by the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals.
He did not resist. He waited for the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals to stackyers uponyers around him. Then Dean McKenzie opened the harvest with a bone resistance.
Then, [Bone Fang], [Bone Spear], [Mana Output], and even direct attacks from Bone Armor.
All kinds of attacks were madly unleashed as if they were free.
The number of shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals around Dean McKenzie was decreasing at an incredible speed.
More than a thousand shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals were finished by Dean McKenzie in less than half an hour!
It¡¯s a pity that Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t reached third-turn. The experience points from these one thousand plus shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals were wasted.
After killing these shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t ck off.
The third-turn talent enhancementsted for 90 minutes. Dean McKenzie spent 30 minutes dealing with these shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, leaving him with 60 minutes, or rather, minus the time for skill enhancement, he was left with 4.5 minutes.
Dean McKenzie had Doggy Two sacrifice all the ordinary skeletons in the Land of Bone.
A total of 2344 skeletons.
Dean McKenzie moved at breakneck speed,pleting the extraction of these 2344 skeletons in less than twenty minutes.
¡°[You have extracted 2344 Level 47mon skeletons, gaining 53912 attribute points!]¡±
After extracting these skeletons¡¯ attributes, Dean McKenzie immediately turned to open all the light dots that Old Eight had picked up while he was extracting attributes.
¡°[You opened 3255 light points!]¡±
¡°[You gained 8600 Gold Coins!]¡±
¡°[You gained 23 [Fake and Inferior Shrimp Soldier Temtes]!]¡±
¡°[You gained 176 Lobster Meat!]¡±
¡°[You gained 2 Small [Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit]!]¡±
¡°[You gained [Fake and Inferior Dragon Bone Staff] (Silver)¡]¡±
The system prompts flooded in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
In the midst of his busy work. Dean McKenzie directly ignored the vast majority of the prompts, focusing on the useful ones and drinking the two small [Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit]
¡°[You drank 2 small [Eternal Potion ¨C Spirit], your Spiritual Power has risen to [1697.4]!]¡±
¡°[You have initiated the skill enhancement of [Summon Skeleton], you have fifteen minutes of skill enhancement time!]¡±

ps: Corpses resurrected in the Land of Bone can¡¯t leave the Land of Bone beyond 500 meters.
pss- It can also be used outside the Land of Bone, but the sess rate will significantly drop, and the strength level of the skeleton resurrected by the Resurrection Fire will be only one-tenth of what they had in life.
Looking at the attributes of his Summon Skeleton skill, which he had enhanced by spending numerous gold coins, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but smile, pleased with his aplishment.
The entire skill was directly ascended to a higher level.
Its intensity underwent an epic level enhancement.
¡°Does this mean that I can now hold a Level 80 Skeleton Legion?¡± Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t resist summoning a Level 80 skeleton to verify.
[You have summoned a skeleton, Summon Skeleton skill proficiency increases by 1!]
Name: Unbelievable Pale Skeleton
Temte: Ordinary
Level: Level 80
Attributes:
Strength: too, Agility: 60, Physique: 6o
Attack: 300
Defense: 30
Skills: None
Description: As an ordinary temte skeleton, it¡¯s an incredible miracle that it can grow to Level 80.
But it is still cannon fodder.
This attribute is simply too rubbish to look at.
Despite being Level 80, it can¡¯t defeat a Level 60, or even a Level 40 entity.
However, Dean McKenzie did not take issue with that.
Even a weak Level 80 skeleton can have considerablebat power depending on its quantity.
Moreover, when he was summoning this skeleton, Dean had a gut feeling that he might be able to add some enhancements during the summoning process. Dean thought for a moment and took out those Skeleton Temtes he had previously discarded in the Land of Bone, which he had bought when leaving South Hill Base.
[You have consumed the Fragile Skeleton Warrior to summon a skeleton, and have sessfully summoned a Fragile Skeleton Warrior (Ordinary)(Level 80), your skill proficiency for Summon Skeleton increased by 10 points!]
Then, a Level 80 Skeleton Warrior appeared before Dean.
Its attributes were slightly better than before, and itsbat power had increased significantly. Most importantly, the skill proficiency had greatly increased.
Seeing this, Dean decided to use up all the temtes he had at hand. In no time, Dean¡¯s previously depleted Skeleton Army was once again filled up. However, with the increase in level of the skeletons, the Land of Bone, which originally could amodate 9000 skeletons, drastically reduced its capacity to only 1000 skeletons.
Dean didn¡¯t mind though.
Once the skeletons were replenished, Dean returned his focus to the Dragon
Pce Ruins in front of him.
Having entered the Dragon Pce Ruins for three days, with the exception of the BOSS deep within, Dean had essentially wiped out every monster within.
It seemed that he did not find a way to leave this instance.
¡°Do I have to challenge that BOSS?¡± Dean frowned.
He didn¡¯t really want to fight this battle, because he wasn¡¯t likely to win. Joking aside, it had a range of over 500 meters, its damage was close to one million, and it had a ridiculously hard control. How could Dean fight against it?
On what grounds could hepete with it?
He didn¡¯t have that strength!¨C
-Let¡¯s search again, perhaps the exit is hidden under the ruins.¡± In this regard, Old Six, as an architect, should be quite capable!¡± Saying this, Dean summoned Old Six out of the Land of Bone. The summoned Old Six, after hearing that Dean was looking for a way out, immediately confirmed that this was indeed its area of expertise.
Old Six had one method: Dismantle!
Dismantle the entire ruins, inch by inch, and it absolutely did not believe that there was something it couldn¡¯t find.
Well, this was said by Old Six in its creaking voice, guessed by Dean from the way Old Six was gesturing and how ¨C if it could ¨C it would be drooling from anticipation.
That Old Six had already messed around with most of the construction materials from the Land of Bone, and couldn¡¯t resist the sight of the materials scattered around here.
Dean thought about it and agreed with Old Six¡¯s suggestion.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s dismantle!¡± he said.
Subsequently, Dean¡¯s demolition crew was back at work.
The Level 80 skeletons were far more efficient than before in demolition. The structures of the Dragon Pce Ruins started disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
While the demolition crew was working, Dean was looking at the 15 ¡°Rare Temtes¡± for the Summon Skeleton skill.
In this Secret Realm, Dean had mainly used the local shrimps for extraction of temtes, rather than enhancing his skills.
In addition to the 15 for Summon Skeleton, Dean also had 3 rare temtes on his person.
Dean then nced at his pocket.
After upgrading Summon Skeleton, his gold coins had dropped to 980.
Not even 1000.
However, for what Dean was nning to do next, these 980 gold coins should be enough.
[You consumed 150 gold coins and applied rare temtes to your Strength, Agility, and Physique!]
[Your Strength, Agility, and Physique have increased by 120 attribute points each!]
[Your traits ¡°Swift as Wind¡±, ¡°Strength Enhancement¡±, and ¡°Physique Enhancement¡± have been upgraded to ss c! ]
Dean nced at these three traits that had been upgraded to ss C.
The first two were nothing special, they simply increased the attributes from fifty percent to a hundred percent.
But thest one, ¡°Physique Enhancement¡±, gave Dean a pleasant surprise. Enhanced Physique (ss C)(Increases physique effects by one hundred percent, life recovery increase by one thousand percent, Activated, you can recover quickly from injuries, as long as crucial body parts are notpletely destroyed, you can recover quickly, (Once per day)) This offered a healing effect, and the recovery capability was very strong. While Dean was quite satisfied with this effect, he couldn¡¯t help but mumble to himself: ¡°It seems that in the future, when dealing with rare temte warriors or higher, I need topletely obliterate them and absolutely not give them a chance to retaliate!¡±
Next, Dean assigned 90 attribute points to these three attributes, and then redirected his attention to the skeletons under hismand, ready to start enhancing them..

Chapter 167: The Wraith reborn inside the body of the 132nd Flood Dragon King

Dean McKenzie only values five skeletons at the moment.
Old Two, Old Six, Old Eight.
Then there¡¯s Shield Warrior Old Four and Archer Old Nine.
Among them, Old Eight already has a rare temte.
As for the remaining four, Dean McKenzie naturally wants to upgrade them as well.
[You have expended 150 gold coins, three rare temtes!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) temte has been promoted to [Bronze Bone Shield Warrior], enhancing attributes and strengthening the trait.] [Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Six) temte has been promoted to [Phantom Skeleton Mage], enhancing attributes and strengthening the trait.] [Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) temte has been promoted to [Bronze Skeleton Crossbowman], enhancing attributes and strengthening the trait.] [Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) temte upgrade has failed!] [You use your talent to attribute your Wraith Servant to the limit!]
The attributes of Old Six, Old Four, and Old Nine are not impressive.
After all, their skills have not been enhanced. Their basic attributes are not high just six to seven hundred attributes at level 80, which are quite average attributes, and with Dean McKenzie¡¯s level 3 talent, 480 attribute points at level 80, they barely reach the medium level of a regr rare temte monster.
Theirbat power is negligible to Dean McKenzie at the moment. However, they all have a good foundation. If Dean McKenzie can enhance their skills, theirbat power should be able to rise.
Unfortunately, all themonsters in the Secret Realm haveibeen Mledo?¡¯and Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t have money at hand, so their enhancement will have be postponed.
in contrast, the situation with Old Two is making Dean McKenzie frown.
Its temte upgrade has actually failed.
Of course, it¡¯s not so much a failure as Dean McKenzie gave up.
When upgrading Old Two, the system gave a prompt that there were critical materials missing, and this upgrade might make it lose the Lord temte.
Should it be upgraded directly?
Dean McKenzie definitely couldn¡¯t agree to this, so he had to give up for now. Luckily, although Doggy Two¡¯s temte didn¡¯t upgrade, it¡¯s level did surge to 80 with [Summon Skeleton].
Its attributes have also greatly improved.
Itsbat power has also substantially increased.
The one that has improved the most is Old Eight. After its level was upgraded to 80, its total attributes went from less than five hundred to around thirteen hundred.
Most importantly, its Spiritual power skyrocketed from 2500 to 25000, increasing tenfold.
This boosted Old Eight¡¯sbat power significantly.
Old Eight became so arrogant that it kept unting in front of Doggy Two. This wasonly because Doggy Two was in charge of the demolition work and Dean McKenzie strictly ordered it not to fight, otherwise it would do more than just unting.
Even though it was just unting, it still vexed Doggy Two greatly.
Its Pupil Fire that wanted to slice someone, no, a skeleton, couldn¡¯t be hidden even if it wanted to.
.not onlytml.no, light, bo. Old
be clever and wouldn¡¯t enter the Land of Bone at all.
As long as it didn¡¯t enter the Land of Bone, with Old Eight¡¯s current stealth ability, it wouldn¡¯t be easy for Doggy Two to find it, let alone deal with it using the Land of Bone method.
Doggy Two was smarttoo, and if itcouldn¡¯tdeal withold Eight, it would look at Dean McKenzie.
It didn¡¯t say a word but just looked at Dean McKenzie with grievance and a hint of resentment.
This little fellow was just like that in front of Dean McKenzie, with a sense of yful mischief.
Facing Doggy Two¡¯s gaze, all Dean McKenzie could do was to look up at the sky. He was helpless as Doggy Two could not evolve due to insufficient conditions. Even though he knew that the pit over there might fulfill the conditions, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t dare to go, in case he couldn¡¯t deal with the creature there. ¡°Stop looking, hurry up and demolish, find the mechanism to leave the Secret Realm sooner and we can leave early, you might be able to evolve then.
Although Dean McKenzie drew this pie rather awkwardly, Doggy Two was still quite happy with it.
It felt that its master would not deceive it!
Athough it had tricked Old Eight with its master before and bullied Old Eight to apitiful state, Doggy Two still felt that as for itself, Dean McKenzie wouldn t. Therefore, it was directing the skeletons under itsmand to work industriously.
This was all day and night.
Under the tireless efforts of 1000 level 80 skeletons day and night,
Dean McKenzie managed to demolish the Secret Realm in just five days.
And by the time he had finished demolishing this Secret Realm, he was only growing more apprehensive.
His intuition told him that the exit from this Secret Realm was highly likely to be over there in that pit, on that one boss.
Unfortunately, Dean McKenzie¡¯s intuition was correct.
After Dean McKenzie spent five days demolishing the entire Secret Realm.
Other than getting enough materials to fill up a third of the area in Land of Bone, he got nothing else.
There was no exit to leave at all.
¡°Now this is a problem. If this is the case, I¡¯ll have no choice but to confront that boss!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s face didn¡¯t look good.
But at this time, there wasn¡¯t any hesitation on his face.
It was obvious that he had decided to fight this battle.
In fact, when Dean McKenzie was demolishing this home, he had already considered this worst-case scenario.
Therefore, he had been mentally preparing for this battle since five days ago. Dean McKenzie had even initially drafted a battle n.
And now, after confirming that the entrance and exit were in the pit, Dean McKenzie directly finalized the battle n.
¡°Ihave been watching that pit closely for the past five days, always being aware of the movement over there.
inbination with the past encounter, we can basically conclude that the boss probably can¡¯te out.
In the case where it can¡¯te out, there is a possibility that I can win this battle.¡±

¡°One tactical core, to be exhausted!¡±
Staring towards the deep pit, Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, saying fiercely, ¡°Even if I can¡¯t defeat you, can¡¯t I still exhaust you to death?
I don¡¯t believe that your mana is as limitless as mine!
Commence attack!¡±
Having said that, McKenzie started to dash.
Running rapidly to the farthest point from the pit, he then opened the Gate of Bone and summoned all 1000 level 80 Skeletons inside,manding them to charge at the pit.
After all 1000 Skeletons were dispatched, McKenzie also sent Elder over.
He ordered the Elder to stand more than a thousand meters away from the pit, watching the 1000 Skeletons charge into it, and then from within the pit, a dragon roar emerged, rendering the 1000 level 80 Skeletons useless.
The whole process took less than 5 seconds.
Exhaustion? He couldn¡¯t tell if the opponent looked exhausted at all. After all, McKenzie barely dared to look his opponent in the face.
So, even if he couldn¡¯t see any visible signs of exhaustion, McKenzie couldn t give up this n and started working on the Land of Bone.
Madly summoning Skeletons, crazily dismissing them.
McKenzie can now have up to 50 Skeletons at once, which greatly enhanced the efficiency of the Skeleton Legion¡¯s summoning.
Basically, he could summon one every second.
45 seconds of summoning, 15 seconds of banishment, and then the next round of summoning.
Theoretically, in a minute, McKenzie can m 45 level 80 Skeletons with ordinary temtes.
But considering mana output, Dean McKenzie, who recovers 15,000 mana a minute, can only summon about thirty Skeletons.
But that was still considerable.
If he keeps it up for twenty to thirty minutes, there could be close to a thousand Skeletons. Doggy Two had by then tamed the Skeletons under a Bone King.
In such a cycle, Dean worked for three or four hours, bringing the number of Skeletons up to seven or eighth thousand.
Although the Land of Bone could only amodate a maximum of 1000, McKenzie didn¡¯t need them to exist permanently, they were just cannon fodder.
After reaching seven or eight thousand, McKenzie sent them out in multiple waves, 500 Skeletons per wave.
McKenzie kept summoning like crazy without checking the results.
In a day without sleep, he could summon tens of thousands of Skeletons.
If tens of thousands of Skeletons can¡¯t kill that boss, McKenzie will go for a hundred to several hundred thousand.
If that¡¯s still not enough, McKenzie will go for a hundred days, several million! ¡°After reaching a million, the summon skeleton skill will level up, and the level cap of the Skeletons will increase.
Maybe by then I¡¯ll be able to summon fourth-turn Skeletons.
Anyway, it won¡¯te out, and I have infinite mana here, I refuse to believe I can¡¯t kill this thing!¡±
McKenzie gritted his teeth, embodying the spirit of the Foolish Old Man Moving the Mountains.
He was locked in a toe-to-toe match with that boss for ten consecutive days. It felt like a futile effort, sending away nearly half a million Skeletons without even seeing a hair from that boss.
The Skeletons that rushed up either died amidst the Dragon Roar. A Dragon Roar could harvest the Skeletons within hundreds of meters¡¯ range in the pit.
The Skeletons died in great numbers.
Alternatively, the boss could summon a tidal wave to attack, a single wave thatpletely decimated the Skeletons within three kilometers around the pit.
These two skills alternated, wiping out several hundred thousand of McKenzie¡¯s Skeletons.
McKenzie felt that he might have to endure another few ten-day periods. Regrettably, after the summon Skeletons skill reached level three, the Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat became useless.
It became the first skill in this gold equipment that couldn¡¯t be upgraded anymore; otherwise, McKenzie wouldn¡¯t have had so much trouble.
However, contrary to McKenzie¡¯s expectations, things didn¡¯t turn out as bad as he thought. The boss wasn¡¯t as resilient as he¡¯d predicted.
On the eleventh day, Elder noticed that the boss¡¯s tidal wave frequency had decreased.
Previously there were more than ten a day, but on the eleventh day, there were only ten!
McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up, realizing that the opponent seemed to be on the verge of breaking down, and he seemed to be seeing the dawn of victory.
Subsequent developments seemed to validate McKenzie s judgment.
On the twelfth day, there were only five tidal waves left from the boss.
On the thirteenth day, the boss¡¯s tidal wave was reduced to just once, and it mainly relied on Dragon Roar to clear out the foot soldiers.
On the fourteenth day, even the frequency of the Dragon Roar decreased.
By the fifteenth day, the critical moment arrived, and Dragon Roar could no longerpletely clear the soldiers.
The sound was hoarse, the mana was depleted, and it couldn¡¯t roar anymore. McKenzie¡¯s Skeleton Soldiers broke into the bottom of the pit, and he saw the existence of that boss.
Elder took the opportunity to take a look from afar and told McKenzie that what he saw was a long bone stuck in the ground by something huge.
McKenzie was somewhat confused by Elder¡¯s description.
What did these descriptions mean?
What does it mean to be a bone stuck in the ground by something huge?
McKenzie shook his head, deciding to promote the cultural enlightenment of Doggy Two and others. You can¡¯t even speak properly, can you?
What about what happened near the pit? McKenzie still had no intention of going.
He continued summoning Skeletons, kept on piling them up.
McKenzie hadn¡¯t seen that boss, who knew if it had any intelligence? Was it waiting for him to let his guard down?
In any case, McKenzie was determined to push and exhaust that boss as much as possible.
But quickly, McKenzie found that trying to push to death or exhaust that boss was very difficult.
Even though the boss no longer used Dragon Roar, it still had closebat abilities. Its closebat attacks were still horrifying; a simple gesture, a swipe of its paw, a sweep of its tail, and it could kill arge group of Skeletons. Its speed in clearing monsters wasn¡¯t much slower than when it used Dragon Roar. In addition, McKenzie covertly inserted a few un-exiled Skeletons into the cannon fodder Skeleton group; after a few probes, he quickly drew conclusions.
The boss¡¯s defense was extremely terrifying, and these level 80 in Skeletons simply could not break its defense.

So, Dean McKenzie decided to slow down the rate at which he sent in his
Skeleton Kills, continually exhausting the opponent¡¯s stamina.
However, the opponent¡¯s stamina seemed endless, even after five straight days, Dean didn¡¯t see any signs of exhaustion.
Moreover, the worst news was, on the fifth day, it started using Dragon Roar. This made Dean realise, it would be impossible to exhaust this boss to death. ¡°I¡¯ve exhausted it to the point of no mana. That¡¯s already the limit.
After that, there¡¯s no way that Skeleton Kills can kill it on their own, its defense is there, even if it just stands there and doesn¡¯t move, the skeletons can¡¯t break its defense.
So in the end, I¡¯ll have to step in, myself!¡±
This was indeed bad news, but there was also good news.
¡°The good news is, after twenty days of probing, it¡¯s safe to say that this bosscks intelligence. It¡¯s now truly out of mana, it can be battled!¡±
Dean said so, but he still gritted his teeth and swallowed his dissatisfaction.
Mainly because Dean had noticed that his skill proficiency in Summon Skeleton was already over 800,000. If he could hold on for a few more days, he could level up.
What if at that time, a level 7 triple Enhance Summon Skeleton could summon an 81 level Fourth-turn Skeleton, Dean¡¯s power will inte to an unprecedented level.
Wouldn¡¯t defeating that boss be a piece of cake then?
To this end, Dean endured for another three days.
Three days without sleep, no, it¡¯s been 23 days of continuous summoning now. Despite Dean¡¯s terrifying mental strength and physique, he appeared extremely weak, very much like an exhausted young noble.
But after a total of 23 days of persistence, Dean finally received the long- anticipated system notification.
¡°Congrattions! Your Summon Skeleton skill proficiency has leveled up, and your level has increased!¡± The system notifications rang.
As soon as the system notification sounded, Dean immediately opened the attribute panel of the Summon Skeleton skill to check, his gaze falling on the uppermost introduction:
Skill: Summon Skeleton+1 (third-times enhanced)
Level: 7 (0/2 million)
Summon: Summon an 85-level undead creature (Skeleton) at once
Mana consumption: 1000
Seeing this introduction, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up.
¡°Level 85? Is it really a Fourth-turn?¡±
Dean was incredibly excited, he took the first opportunity to turn and look at
Doggy Two and them, however, this made his brow furrow.
Doggy Two and the others were still at level 80.
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
Dean frowned as he tried to summon a new skeleton. The system notification got refreshed.
¡°Congrattions! You¡¯ve sessfully summoned a level 80 skeleton with Summon Skeleton.
Ps: The skeleton you summon cannot exceed two levels above you!¡±
¡°Darn it!¡±
Seeing this unexpected yet reasonable notification, Dean was a bit taken aback. ¡°So, my hard work in the past 23 days has gone to waste?¡±
It certainly wasn¡¯ t in vain.
Although Dean can¡¯t summon a Fourth-turn skeleton now, after he has leveled up to third-turn, his skeletons will immediately be Fourth-turn. Their battle power could surge dramatically then.
What is meant to be his won¡¯t escape him.
The only issue is, at this moment, Dean needs to confront that boss himself. Dean looked in the direction of the deep pit: ¡°If there¡¯s no way out, then let¡¯s fight!¡±
Next, Dean ceased summoning skeletons and handed over the remaining ones to Doggy Two tomand and disturb the boss.
Dean, on the other hand, went into a short rest period.
After eating a few silver-quality Lobster Meats, Dean entered a state of meditation.
He meditated for six hours straight.
Although Dean¡¯s mana recovered in a minute, this long period of meditation also yed an important role in the recovery of his spirit.
When Dean opened his eyes again six hourster, he waspletely refreshed. Simultaneously, the system notification refreshed in front of Dean¡¯s sight. ¡°Congrattions! Your Meditation skill level has increased, current level: 7!¡± What Dean was working on over these twenty or so days wasn¡¯t just Summon Skeleton, his Meditation was also constantly leveling up.
Now that it has reached level 7, his mana recovery rate per minute had climbed to 30832 even without any equipment on.
With the Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat, he could push it further to 46248.
The moment his skill leveled up, Dean clearly felt the energy from the surroundings pouring down in torrents onto him.
The abundant energy gave Dean the illusion that his pores were about to be blocked by mana.
Only then was Dean satisfied, he nodded approvingly.
¡°Let¡¯s fight now!¡±
Following that, Dean activated his Bone Armour and rushed towards the deep pit.
This time, Dean daringly made his way to the edge of the pit. Holding the Ring of Wandering Dragon in his hand, ready to retreat at any moment, he cautiously arrived at the edge of the pit where he finally saw the true form of the boss,
It was a Flood Dragon, about twenty to thirty meters long, arge part of its body had already decayed revealing chilling white bones.
The Flood Dragon¡¯s body from the head downwards, had been nailed to the ground by a massive cross leaving only half of its body to be able to squirm.
But that still movable half was extremely terrifying, casually rolling over could easily crush a level 80 virgin skeleton.
On seeing this, Dean squinted his eyes and subconsciously used his Appraisal Skill.
¡°Your use of Appraisal Skill is sessful. You get the attributes of the target item!¡±
¡°Your use of Appraisal Skill is sessful. You get the attributes of the target!¡±
Name: Holy Light Cross
Description: A cross formed by the powerful Holy Light skill. Although it¡¯s just a skill, it has weathered thousands of years of wind, frost, and rain without changing, and still possesses formidable powers today.
Name: Undead Creatures reborn from the body of the Flood Dragon King
Quality: Perfect
Level: 81
Attribute: ???
Description: This is an undead creature reborn from the body of an absolute powerhouse. The dead being reborn, their strength is only a fraction of what it once was. But it has weirdly bepatible with the Holy Light, capable of resisting Holy Light¡¯s harm but unable to break free from the shackles of the Holy Light.
Reading these two attributes, Dean just couldn¡¯t help but squint.
¡°Why does this Secret Realm also have the existence of the Church of Holy Light?
Moreover, looking at this situation, this ruin seems to have been caused by the Church of Holy Light. Is this organisation really so powerful?¡±
Chapter 170:133 Killing, taking Dragon’s Essence Blood
Chapter 170:133 Killing, taking Dragon¡¯s Essence Blood
Trantor: 549690339 |
Dragon Pce Ruins, by the side of a deep pit!
¡°Bone Fang!¡±
Dean McKenzie acted directly after issuing the Appraisal Skill.
He didn¡¯t delve into the story behind the Holy Light Cross and this Secret Realm.
Since his entry into this Secret Realm, he had been trapped for almost a month. Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have time to waste in this Secret Realm.
Besides, he had nowhere to pursue these matters now, and the most important thing at hand was to take down the target.
So, when Dean McKenzie made a move, it was a double-mana Bone Fang. ¡°Ding!¡±
The Bone Fang fell and was immediately withdrawn by the Bone Tail.
The Ring of Wandering Dragon in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand shone brightly, he moved over to the side by a hundred meters to avoid the Bone Fang, then he raised his hand and fired again!
What differed was that the previous one was aimed at the body of the boss, this one was directly aimed at the socket of the eye fixed by the cross.
He wanted to strike at the weak point to kill the boss.
But this boss, a level 81 creature of perfect quality, was more terrifying than Dean McKenzie had anticipated.
Although this shot hit the eye socket of the opponent, it didn¡¯t go in and was directly rebounded.
Upon seeing this, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows.
¡°This creature¡¯s defense surpasses the maximum damage of Bone Fang I can¡¯t move it at all!¡±
This was the worst scenario Dean McKenzie had anticipated.
However, this situation was also within his expectations.
After all, when Bone Fang was used against the turtle before, it was minimally effective. Even level three bosses encountered imprable existences, not to mention such a high-level existence.
So, Dean McKenzie had a contingency n right from the start.
Seeing that Bone Fang wasn¡¯t working, Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth and moved forward a distance, directly entering the range of Bone Prison¡¯s magic. He raised his hand for a ten-second build-up, directly casting Bone Prison on the immobilized boss.
¡°Snap!¡±
The Bone Prison was barely formed when it was shattered by the boss¡¯s tail.
However, even though the Bone Prison was broken, the body of the boss was slightly shaken after the attack.
Although the amplitude was small, Dean McKenzie still noticed it, which greatly raised his spirits.
This meant that the Reflect Damage effect of Bone Prison was effective for this boss.
Although he didn¡¯t know how effective it was, at least it had an effect.
¡°As long as there¡¯s an effect, it¡¯s good, I was just afraid of no effect, as long as there¡¯s a little effect I can slowly grind you down!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he flicked the Bone Fang out again.
Helpless, while Bone Prison Skill didn¡¯t have a cool-down period written there was still a cool-down time. In this that it was shattered, Dean McKenzie needed to rest for about a minute before continuing.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t just wait around for the cool-down, could he?
With nothing else to do, Dean McKenzie started to grind the proficiency of his Bone Fang skill.
Mana didn¡¯t cost money anyway, not using it would be wasted.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie realized that as long as he aimed at the head he didn¡¯t need to worry about the creature reflecting the Bone Fang back at him. Henceforth, the subsequent Dean McKenzie once againmenced the manic mode of grinding his skills.
Every minute, he would thrust out 15 Bone Fangs and then raise a Bone Prison. All were bombarded on the stationary boss. Taking advantage of the fact that it couldn¡¯t move and hadpletely drained its mana, it was treated as a sandbag for grinding skills.
On average, he could gain 15 points of Bone Fang and 1 point of Bone Prison per minute.
At this rate, it would take 208 days to level up Bone Fang, but leveling up Bone Prison would be faster. After all, this skill only had a base of level 2 and could be leveled up in just three days.
Dean McKenzie was not satisfied with this efficiency.
Therefore, while he was grinding the skills, he took out the ¡®Legacy of Necromancer Books¡¯.
He read the book while grinding skills.
Comparing the contents in the book, he constantly tried to fine-tune his skills during usage.
This method, as expected, was much better than simply grinding skills.
The proficiency of each skill use was constantly improving.
Very quickly, the proficiency went from an initial 1 point to 2 points, 3 points.
Sometimes a realization woulde to him, and the skill proficiency would surge.
The surging part of the skill proficiency was affected by Bone Control, which significantly increased skill proficiency acquisition.
So, the pace was fast.
In less than a day¡¯s work, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Prison had risen from level 2 to 3, and was now at the threshold of level 2 Enhance.
The skill effect was also greatly increased.
Skill: Bone Prison (One-turn) (+1) (One-time Enhance)
Level: Level 3 (35/50000) +1
Spell Casting: The Great Power of the Bone, Imprison the World!
Mana Consumption: 8000
Coverage Area: 25 meters by 25 meters
Effect: Casting a Bone Prison with an energy value of 9 times the Spiritual
Power plus 21600 to imprison the enemy. Until the energy value is depleted, the enemy cannote out of the Bone Prison.
Note: The enemy¡¯s damage to the Bone Prison from the inside is reduced bv 35%? y
Of course, the increased effect made no difference in front of the boss, who could still shatter it with a single tail whip.
But after a day¡¯s time and thousands of shattering incidents, this boss had taken quite a bit of Reflect Damage, and the entire Flood Dragon became somewhat wilted.
This gave Dean McKenzie hope for victory.
Grind, keep grinding, at worst grind for another month, I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t grind this boss to death!¡±
Dean McKenzie ground his teeth, continuing with the grind.
Another five days passed with the grinding.
[Your skill ¡®Bone Fang¡¯ has risen to level 7!]
[Your skill ¡®Bone Prison¡¯ has risen to level 4!]
Skill: Bone Fang (3 times Enhance)
Level: Level 7 +1 (122/500 thousand)
Skill Consumption: 4500 Mana Points
Skill Damage: Spiritual Power times 10 plus 29442
The effect of level 7 Bone Fang increased significantly.
The basic damage had reached more than forty thousand, and dealing double damage could reach nearly a hundred thousand.

Chapter 171:133 Killing, Consuming Dragon n Essence Blood_2
Trantor: 549690339
The explosion had surpassed the one unleashed by Doggy Two earlier.
Yet, it barely scratched the boss.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t rely on Bone Fang for damage, using this skill was just incidental. The real output came from the skill of Bone Prison.
To be precise, it was the reflect damage trait of the Bone Prison skill.
It could inflict internal damage, reflecting twenty percent of it.
Although the reflect damage of twenty percent might not work fully, and the damage inflicted on this boss might not be significant either.
But the constant umtion over six days resulted in considerable damage in the end.
¡°Crack!¡±
With another crisp sound, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level 4 Bone Prison was shattered effortlessly.
But this time, not only was the Bone Prison shattered, so was the tail of the boss.
Today, six dayster, its body was already riddled with cracks, and its tail was even broken off in this attack.
Dean McKenzie set up another Bone Prison, and this time, surprisingly, the Bone Prison was sessfully summoned, and the bossy calmly within, not making a single move.
Dean McKenzie saw this and knew it was about time to deliver the final blow.
So, Dean McKenzie opened the door and let the dogs out!
¡°Go!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Doggy Eight, who had been charging up, instantly appeared at the eye of the boss.
(Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) uses the skill (Backstab] (Level 7), attack damage times ten!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) emerges from strong stealth, boosted backstab damage is 99974.53!]
[Strong Stealth skill passive triggers, increasing Backstab damage by 305 percent!]
Three system prompts refreshed, with Doggy Eight brandishing his knife and lunging forward.
With a single strike, an attack of nearly four hundred thousand was unleashed.
With a ¡°snap¡±, the eyeball barrier that Dean McKenzie could not break was shattered by this single strike from Doggy Eight.
While unleashing the damage, Doggy Eight also activated his stiffening skill, he used the 2-second invincibility from Strong Stealth to evade the terrifying recoil damage brought by the violent strike.
In Doggy Eight¡¯s haste, the majority of the boss¡¯s head disintegrated.
Despite this, it was still stubbornly alive.
At this moment, another dog of Dean McKenzie¡¯s exploded.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) used the skill [Bone Eruption] (Level 2)! ]
Attack increased by 11000 points, all attributes increased by 250 percent! ]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) summons exclusive equipment [Bone Throne], Doggy Two¡¯s attributes increased by fifty percent! ]
Before the skill exploded:
Strength: 603.6, Agility: 198.9, Physique: 110.9, Spirit: 110.9
Attack: 1810.8
Defense: 110.9
After the skill exploded:
Strength: 2263.5, Agility: 745.8, Physique: 415.8, Spirit: 415.8
Attack: 48040.5
Defense: 415.8
The calction of the skill effect starts with the attack, then the 250 percent increase, finally, the 50 percent increase from the Bone Throne is added.
This directly pushed Doggy Two¡¯s attributes to an extremely exaggerated level. Of course, as exaggerated as it is, Doggy Two could only maintain this state for 15 seconds, not a second more.
So, Doggy Two promptly exploded in those 15 seconds.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) activates [Explosive Bone Power], the damage of the next hit is increased by 205 percent! ]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) uses the skill [Heavy Destruction], the explosive power plus attack damage times five! ]
¡°Boom!¡±
This terrifying attack from Doggy Two was delivered directly onto the forehead of the boss.
The system prompt refreshed again.
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Two) triggers a level 1 Destruction effect with his attack! ]
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Two)¡¯s exclusive equipment¡¯s level 2 effect is activated!]
[You sessfully killed the ¡°Wraith reborn in the body of the Flood Dragon King¡¯s body¡±]!
[Because of your hesitation inpleting the ss change, you have not earned Experience Points!]
Three system prompts refreshed, and the boss that Dean McKenzie had been beating for more than thirty days finally blew up.
As that boss exploded, Dean McKenzie saw several bright spots flickering.
Even Dean McKenzie saw a dazzling golden treasure chest beneath the boss¡¯s blown-up body.
Dean McKenzie was looking at the flickering golden dots and the treasure chest, preparing to reap his rewards. To his surprise, before he couldy his hands on the rewards, another one was thrown right in front of him.
As the body of the BOSS exploded, the Bone Throne, situated behind Doggy Two, suddenly lit up.
Soon after, the exploded BOSS¡¯S body and the shattered skeletons on the ground started to boil, and the system prompts started refreshing in Dean McKenzie¡¯s vision.
[Your [ Wraith Servant] (Doggy Two) triggered an evolution, do you wish to spend 10 rare temtes to start it?]
¡°10 pieces?¡±
Dean McKenzie was taken aback, but only briefly, then he decisively agreed.
¡°Take them, don¡¯t be shy!¡±
Between maintaining 10 regr rare temte skeletons and upgrading Doggy Two, Dean McKenzie had no trouble making the decision.
As Dean McKenzie waved his hand, the system prompt refreshed once again.
[You have consumed 500 gold coins, 10 rare temtes, to initiate the evolution of your Wraith Servant! ]
The system prompts refreshed, and Doggy Two, whose skeleton was shattered from unleashing the damage, flew onto the Bone Throne.
Soon after, the boiling bodies of the BOSS and the skeletons littering the ground started to rise.
In no time, Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne wasyered with relics from the battlefield.
Doggy Two¡¯s evolution process thus began.
Seeing this massive scene, a smile couldn¡¯t help but appear on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
Chapter 172:133 Killing, Consuming Dragon Clan Essence Blood_3
Chapter 172:133 Killing, Consuming Dragon n Essence Blood_3
Trantor: 549690339
The grander the spectacle, the more powerful Doggy Two would potentially be after evolution.
Dean McKenzie nodded, ¡°Judging by this spectacle, Doggy Two could possibly rival the fourth-level entities after this round of evolution.¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s words amplified the panic of Old Eight, who had been watching the evolution of Doggy Two in the sky.
What¡¯s happening? Is Doggy Two about to be stronger?
Old Eight hadn¡¯t forgotten the gaze that Doggy Two had thrown at him, the desire to ughter him wasn¡¯t even hidden.
After this evolution, his skeleton will undoubtedly be torn apart!
Terrified, Old Eight began to spam his Strong Stealth skill.
Dean McKenzie shook his head after ncing at him.
What¡¯s the point?
If he didn¡¯t behave recklessly normally, he wouldn¡¯t be panicking right now.
Ignoring this guy, Dean McKenzie went over to the bottom of the deep pit, where only five points of light and a treasure chest remained, after the Holy Light Cross had disappeared.
The dazzling lights and the treasure chest made Dean McKenzie extremely pleased.
¡°A month has passed, and finally, it¡¯s time for the harvest!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie began to open the five points of light one by one.
[You¡¯ve opened a light point and received too Purple Gold Coins!]
[You¡¯ve opened a light point and received the Holy Light Cross!]
[You¡¯ve opened a light point and received the Dragon Bone Sword! ]
[You¡¯ve opened a light point and received the Skill Fusion Scroll!]
[You¡¯ve opened a light point and received the Dragon¡¯s Essence Blood!]
Having opened all five light points, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell upon these five items.
The Skill Fusion Scroll needs no introduction. Dean had experienced its usefulness before and knew how to use it.
Hence, Dean McKenzie merely skimmed over it and examined the other items.
Purple Gold Coin (Each worth 1000 Gold Coins)
Item: Holy Light Cross
Description: This is a cross formed by the strong followers of the Church of Holy Light. It maintains an incredible power even after thousands of years. After activation, it can freeze any entity below the fifth level in ce for at least 60 minutes.
Remaining usage: 1/1
Special Item: Dragon¡¯s Essence Blood
Description: This is the remaining essence blood of a Flood Dragon carcass that was left over after thousands of years of erosion. Consumption can significantly increases one¡¯s attribute points, and may even awaken the unique racial trait of the Dragon n.
PS: You can also use it in potion making, but make sure to find a reliable Alchemist or Pill Refiner, or else you may end up with nothing.
Item: Dragon Bone Sword
Quality: Gold (Can be evolved)
Level: 81
Attr: Unidentified
¡°Hum!¡±
Just as Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze focused on the Bone Dragon Sword, the long sword quivered slightly before taking off, piercing throughyers of bones and heading straight for Doggy Two.
The system notification updated at the same time.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) has recognized the Bone Dragon Sword as its master!]
Before Dean McKenzie had the chance to say anything, Old Eight nearly lost it.
Why does Old Two get all the benefits?
It couldn¡¯t help but resentfully look at Dean McKenzie, only for Dean to p it away, ¡°What are you looking at me for? It¡¯s not like I gave it to him. I¡¯m the one who deserves toin!¡±
Dean McKenzie felt that the benefits from defeating this boss had all been reaped by Doggy Two.
If it continues to evolve this way, it will overturn the heavens, right?
Oh, it¡¯s his own pet, so it doesn¡¯t matter.
Dean McKenzie even considered whether to give the Dragon¡¯s Essence Blood to Doggy Two as well, but ended up gulping it down himself in the end.
The main reason was that Dean wasn¡¯t sure if a skeleton could use it, since there was only one, it would be more reliable to use it himself.
About making potions or something?
Dean didn¡¯t even consider it. Who knows if he could sessfully refine a pill.
If he couldn¡¯t, wouldn¡¯t his resources be wasted?
Even if he could, Dean felt it would also drain a lot of his energy and time. He doesn¡¯t have that much time now.
Although a month has passed, Dean hasn¡¯t forgotten about the Bloody Church and the mysterious person.
Plus, Dean¡¯s current situation may not necessarily be safe.
He wasn¡¯t sure if his bounty had been revoked, and whether a guy named Bruce Hodge would continue to cause him trouble.
Driven by the fear of insufficient firepower, Dean didn¡¯t consider the long-term future and focused on the present first.
[You have consumed Dragon¡¯s Essence Blood, and your body is undergoing transformation!]
As Dean McKenzie drained the Dragon¡¯s Essence Blood, his body began to boil.
On his skin appeared mysterious symbols, and the muscles underneath his skin began to surge violently.
Dean readied himself to endure excruciating pain, but to his surprise, the whole process was not that painful.
It was actually somewhatfortable, and Dean could feel his physical attributes significantly enhanced, and his mental state also improved.
More importantly, Dean felt his brain itch, as if something was bursting forth.
Soon enough, the transformation ended, and the system notification updated in front of Dean.
[You¡¯ve sessfully consumed the Jade Dragon Essence Blood, your attributes have been greatly increased! ]
[You have awakened the Dragon n¡¯s trait [Dragon n Talent] (C-ss)!]
Upon seeing the two system notifications, Dean quickly pulled up his attribute panel to view the changes in his attributes.
Before consuming the Essence Blood:
Strength: 842.8, Agility: 999-8, Physique: 809.2, Spirit: 1697.4(1.2)
Magic Strength: 1976.4
Mana: 19768
After consuming the Essence Blood:
Strength: 942.8, Agility: 1099.8, Physique: 909.2, Spirit: 2097.4(1.2)
Magic Strength: 2376.4
Mana: 28768
His strength, agility and physique have increased by 100 points, spirit by 400 points, and mana by a terrifying 9000 points.
With this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s previously insufficient mana received a significant boost, and he could now use both the level-two Small Meteorite Technique and the level-two Bone Armor.
But these aren¡¯t the biggest gains for Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s biggest gain was the just-awakened trait [Dragon n Talent]!
Chapter 173:134 Doggy Two Evolution - The Dragon
Chapter 173:134 Doggy Two Evolution - The Dragon
Chapter 173:134 Doggy Two Evolution ¨C The Dragon
Skeleton Big Lord with Insufficient Foundation
Trantor: 549690339
Trait: Dragon n Talent (C-grade) You have gained the talent of the Dragon n. From now on, every point you increase in spirit will give you 2 points of Magic Damage and 20 points of Mana.
The efficiency of your skill proficiency acquisition will increase by two hundred percent
With each turn you level up, you can learn one skill disregarding professional restrictions. However, the effect of the learned skill decreases to thirty percent of the original version.
Looking at this trait, only four words are echoing in Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind!
It¡¯s terrifying!
Although this talent does not directly increase Dean¡¯sbat power, it ys a crucial role in his future development.
Especially thest point, being able to learn skills regardless of professional requirements!
This point is extremely overpowered, even if the effect of the learned skill decreases to thirty percent of the original, it¡¯s still overpowered.
Not to mention, Dean also possesses the Extraction Talent.
Is the decrease in skill effect a problem for others? Is it a problem for Dean?
It¡¯s absolutely not!
As long as he has money, even rubbish can be divine skills in Dean¡¯s hands.
This boss was indeed worthwhile, as Dean spent a whole month trying to defeat it. Its rewards didn¡¯t disappoint Dean¡¯s efforts.
However, after checking the five items, Dean also raised his eyebrows.
The main reason is that these items did not include what Dean needed most at the moment, an item that could allow him to exit this Secret Realm.
Therefore, Dean¡¯s gaze fell on the remaining treasure chest.
[You have opened a Golden Treasure Chest, and received 5000 gold coins, a Dragon Pce Token, and a High-Quality Talent Stone!]
As Dean opened the golden chest, it emitted a golden light, revealing three items.
Each of these items touched Dean¡¯s heart deeply.
The gold coins enabled Dean to continue enhancing himself and his minions.
A High-Quality Talent Stone goes without saying. To upgrade his Talent Level to level 4, Dean not only needs 500,000 Talent Points, but also a High-Quality Talent stone.
Dean was previously worried about where to find a Talent Stone, but now it¡¯s delivered right in front of him.
Meaning, all Dean needs now is to gather up to 500,000 Talent Points, and he can level up his Talent level.
By that time, both Dean and the minions under hismand would experience a boost in power.
At this moment, in the environment where Dean is located, the most important item is undoubtedly the Dragon Pce token.
Item: Dragon Pce Token
Description: An item that allows entry into and exit from the Dragon Pce. After activation, you can leave the Dragon Pce Ruins.
Once activated again by the seaside, you will be teleported randomly into the fragment of the Dragon Pce Ruins.
Current Status: Able to return
Looking at the attributes of this token, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows even as he sighed in relief.
¡°Randomly teleported into the Dragon Pce Ruins?
That is to say, the Dragon Pce Ruins I am currently in are not the entire ruins, but merely a fragment of it?
It seems there are still a lot of treasures to be dug out from this Secret Realm.¡±
That being said, once Dean leaves the Dragon Pce ruins, he won¡¯t use this thing for a short time.
One, he has already gained enough resources from this trip to the Dragon Pce Ruins to advance to the third-turn.
Dean will not go into any more Secret Realms until he has reached the third- turn.
Another reason is that his time in the Secret Realm made Dean realize howplex the Dragon Ruins are.
He did not want to be stuck in a realm for another one or two months.
Moreover, being stuck for one or two months could be the best-case scenario.
If he¡¯s not careful, he may never get out.
After all, in this world, level advancement requires thepletion of the Promotion Trial.
That is to say, it¡¯s impossible to be something like the Sword God of the ten-mile slope.
Moreover, the monsters in the Dragon Pce Ruins don¡¯t seem to respawn. If you go into a realm and can¡¯t beat something, it¡¯s basically impossible to endure until you can.
So, this token would just be stored away once Dean leaves this ce.
Meanwhile, Dean was storing the token away when a bright light exploded from the Bone throne and a faint aura spread.
Dean¡¯s gaze was immediately drawn to it.
When Dean turned his head to look, he clearly saw that the boss¡¯s bones and bone fragments scattered on the ground were being quickly absorbed by the Bone Throne.
When Dean saw the body of the boss slowly melting, he was highly tempted to use his Talent to extract its essence.
But in the end, he held himself back.
Who knows if his extraction would cause Doggy Two¡¯s evolution to fail?
¡°It¡¯s just a fragment of a perfect temte, I don¡¯t need it!
Besides, it¡¯s not a waste if Doggy Two absorbs it, the meat is all stewed in the same pot after all!¡±
Dean kept giving himself pep talks.
Finally, he calmed his restless hands and gloomy mood, focusing his gaze on the boss gradually melting and little by little merging into the Bone Throne.
In total it took about three hours before all the light faded away.
The system prompts began to refresh.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) has sessfully evolved its temte into an Iplete Dragon Bone Skeleton Lord (Perfect)!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two)¡¯s exclusive equipment, the Bone Throne, has sessfully upgraded!]

Doggy Two and the Bone Throne underwent significant changes afterpleting a round of devouring evolution.
The difference in the Bone Throne is immediately noticeable. It now stands three meters tall, a meter taller than before, and even seems to have a bone dragon coiling around it.
As for Doggy Two, his skeletal structure seemed unchanged at around 1.8 meters tall. But he now wields a Bone Dragon Sword in his hand and wears a suit of bone armor that appears to bear the carving of a Bone Dragon. He looks far more imposing and intimidating.
Dean McKenzie quickly checked Doggy Two¡¯s attributes.

Effect 3: Bone Energy Recovery (Can recover energy consumed by Doggy Two¡¯s bones by absorbing other bones)
¡°This is outrageous!¡±
The figure in front of him was impossibly powerful, but Dean McKenzie knew that it wasn¡¯t Doggy Two who was overpowered, but himself.
Instantly, Dean McKenzie felt that all the grant quotas he had given out and the ten thousand gold coins he had spent were wasted.
The resources spent on him couldn¡¯t evenpare to Doggy Two.
A couple of chance encounters and he took off!
While Dean McKenzie was still eximing at Doggy Two¡¯s presposterously- powered upgrades, on the other side, Old Eight was so scared, his bones were rattling and he activated his strong stealth preparing to flee.
But it was toote.
Activated with the Bone Throne¡¯s assistance, Doggy Two¡¯s ¡°Bone King¡± skill made Old Eightpliantly walk towards Doggy Two.
Then, all the arrogance Doggy Two exhibited was matched by the misery he endured after. What was that saying again? Not to be too arrogant or it wille back to bite you!
Dean McKenzie was quite proficient on this front.
While Old Two was fighting, Dean McKenzie casually held onto Old Six as he walked into the Land of Bone, giving off a ¡®I didn¡¯t see anything¡¯ vibe. As he walked, he asked: ¡°Old Six, didn¡¯t you say you wanted to show me a great treasure?
Let¡¯s go check it out!¡±
Watching Dean McKenzie gradually walk away, Old Eight¡¯s pupil fire was filled with resentment and despair, as pitiful as a little puppy that has been abandoned by its owner.
Meanwhile for Dean McKenzie.
He was using Old Six as a shield, but was surprisingly met with Old Six¡¯s excited response, ¡°I really have a great treasure.¡±
And so, Old Six led Dean McKenzie to a building.
Upon seeing the building, Dean McKenzie was dumbfounded.
¡°You¡¯re saying you built this for me?¡±
Dean McKenzie asked incredulously as he pointed at the structure, which very much resembled a tomb.
Old Six nodded, indicating this was prepared for him, the owner.
¡°Thanks, but I¡¯m still in pretty good shape, don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be lying in there anytime soon.¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s face was marked with absolute rejection towards this grave.
Today, Dean McKenzie would rather die outside or jump off a building than enter this tomb.
Dean McKenzie took a look at the attributes of this grave.
Name: Bone Tomb
Building Level: Intermediate (1 star)
Effect: Upon entering the Bone Tomb, you will be embraced by the dark. In it, you will find tranquility, enhancing your affinity for darkness and increasing the efficiency of learning dark skills by 300 percent.

Laying in it, you will have a chance at realizing the truth of death, significantly improving your proficiency in dark attributes skills, and a chance to gainprehension, which can lead to mutation or enhancement of skills)

Trantor: 549690339 |
The moment he saw this attribute, Dean McKenzie had to admit, he was trulv dazzled!
He hadn¡¯t expected Old Six to pull off something of this caliber.
Unable to hold back, McKenzie immediately asked Old Six to open the door, he wanted to take a look inside.
Then, Dean saw the tombstone of the Bone Tomb shift diagonally.
If this wasn¡¯t such an interesting building, Dean would have had a few words to say to Old Six about this trick.
Then, gritting his teeth, Dean entered the Bone Tomb.
As soon as he stepped in, his mind suddenly became calm, and he felt a strange familiarity with the surrounding darkness.
It even gave Dean the impression that this ce was actually quite decent.
Driven by this feeling, Dean ventured deeper into the Bone Tomb. At its deepest point, he found a coffin.
He recognized it at once.
Wasn¡¯t that the coffin that Old Six, when he was on his deathbed, insisted to bring out during his second-turn?
Now, the coffin was nailed in the deepest part, surrounded by wood and stone carvings brought from the Dragon Pce Ruins.
With Old Six¡¯s arrangement, this coffin looked exceptionally gloomy and bizarre.
But oddly enough, Dean felt it would be incrediblyfortable to lie inside this coffin, and he suddenly yearned to try it out.
If he hadn¡¯t been aware of the effects of this building, Dean would have thought himself mad right then and there.
However, knowing the effect of the coffin, although Dean still felt a little creeped out, he ultimately chose to follow his instincts and get in. Unexpectedly, the coffin, while seemingly terrifying on the outside, felt incredibly serene once he was inside.
His eyes closed automatically.
At the same time, the system notification refreshed in front of Dean¡¯s eyes. [Youy in the coffin of the Bone Tomb andprehend the Death Epiphany!] In the system notifications, a flood of information inundated Dean¡¯s mind. Then, the system notifications refreshed again.
[You haveprehended the Death Epiphany. Your Bone Spear skill level has increased. Current level: 6!]
[You haveprehended the Death Epiphany. Your Bone Resistance skill level has increased. Current level: 2!]
[You haveprehended the Death Epiphany. The proficiency of your other
Dark System skills has increased considerably!]
[You haveprehended the Death Epiphany. Your Bone Spear skill has mutated!]
Skill: Bone Spear (One-turn)
Level: 6
Cost: 500
Effect: Summon a bone spear to cause damage equivalent to six times the spiritual power plus 3000,
Mutant Effect: Chant Bone Spear once and it will stay activated as long as you do not stop the mana output.
When Dean opened his eyes and saw these system notifications and the new attributes of Bone Spear, he was stunned for a moment.
Especially the mutation of Bone Spear.
The Bone Spear has directly turned into a bone assault rifle!
Dean experimented immediately, and the effect was simply outstanding.
Its firing speed was quite terrifying. If the mana wasn¡¯t interrupted, he could fire twenty or thirty per second.
With such high firing rate, not to mention the intense power.
Given the current spiritual power of Dean, a single Bone Spear could easily do tens of thousands of damage.
Under the condition of continuous Mana Recovery, Dean could suppress his enemies with a firepower akin to a battalion.
This made Dean¡¯s aesthetic sensibilities rather sinister.
After climbing out of the coffin, Dean patted the coffin contentedly, and even started to appreciate the surroundings.
What grand buildings, vis, or mansions?
Only the underworld is the coolest!
¡°Not bad, not bad. Work hard. In the future, I¡¯ll have you build me arge cemetery!¡±
said Dean, patting Old Six on the shoulder.
Following that, Dean estimated the time and felt it was almost right. He emerged from the Land of Bone, pretending to just find out how to rescue Doggy Two.
Afterwards, Dean¡¯s dungeon time was almost up.
He looked around to ensure that he¡¯d taken everything worth taking and drew out the Dragon Pce Token, a ripple spread around Dean.
Afterwards, Dean was gently transported from the Secret Realm and appeared on the beach where he started.
Barely touching down, the system notifications in front of Dean¡¯s eyes started refreshing.
[You havepleted the Talent Development task, and received the Deputy upation of Secret Realm Explorer!]
Including the time in the Secret Realm, it already had been more than half a year. Dean had finallypleted this task.
He had managed to bring the Secret Realm Explorer Deputy upation into existence.
But at this point, Dean had no time to be excited.
No time to look into his new Deputy upation.
Because he had noticed that he was at the beach where he had entered the Dragon Pce Ruins.
Dean had disappeared from this location. If anyone was still watching him, there was no eliminating the possibility of an ambush at this ce.
In fact, Dean already had considered this beforeing out.
He guessed this situation might arise.
But he decided to emerge anyway.
On the one hand, there was no point in idling inside that Secret Realm. There were no more monsters, he could only wait and waste time.
He, of course, knew, the longer he dyed, the safer it would be.
But ultimately, Dean chose not to dy.
Because he could not ignore the person mysteriously taken hostage by him, so Dean chose to return as soon as possible.
Having made this decision, Dean, of course, had done the corresponding mental preparation. The moment hended, he began to prepare his Bone Armor, ready to activate the skill at any time, Old Six was already in Dean¡¯s shadow.
Doggy Two, behind the Gate of Bone, was also ready to spring into action.
It¡¯s safe to say, Dean adjusted his status immediately, prepared to fight a major battle at any time.
At the same time Dean was getting ready, he saw that he was encircled by over a dozen members of the Bloody Church.
Simultaneously, the head of the pack started walking towards Dean.
¡°Fight me again. If you win, I¡¯ll let you go!¡±
Upon seeing this, Dean hesitated for a second, let go of his skills, raised his hands, and said, ¡°I surrender!¡±
Chapter 176:135 Thir-turn Trial
Chapter 176:135 Thir-turn Trial
Trantor: 549690339
On the coastline near Summer City, in Anta.
Dean McKenzie raised his hands, his face disying a helpless appearance, which caused the mood of the Bloody Church¡¯s Son who was just one move short of falling to his tricksst time to darken.
¡°Who said anything about surrendering?
I want to have another match with you!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t, I¡¯m at the second level, while you¡¯ve obviously reached the fourth level, I can¡¯tbeatyou!¡±
As Dean McKenzie shook his head in refusal, he began to mock his opponent in a strange tone, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a contender for the position of Son of the Bloody Church?
You¡¯ve risen to such a high position, you couldn¡¯t beat me when you were at the third level, so you rushed on to the fourth level to regain your face.
It¡¯s hard not to admire you!¡±
¡°Impudence!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s sarcasticments made the Son of the Bloody Church before him furious.
In a sh, he reached Dean McKenzie and held his crimson long sword against Dean McKenzie¡¯s neck.
But throughout this process, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t resist at all. He merely watched him and let him hold the sword against his neck.
The hand of the Son of the Bloody Church shook slightly, he tried hard to suppress his rage and harshly asked Dean McKenzie, ¡°Will you fight or not?¡±
Dean McKenzie smiled grimly and continued to mock, ¡°The aspiring Son of the Bloody Church is certainly worthy of the title. The invincible power at the fourth level is formidable. A mere second-level necromancer like me doesn¡¯t even dare to strike back before you!
Just like thest time, when the aspiring Son of the Bloody Church couldn¡¯t even muster the courage to look back while fleeing before me.¡±
Dean McKenzie knew well that Donald Morgan came here today to regain some dignity from him.
But Dean McKenzie would never give him that chance.
Although Dean McKenzie could sense that although the Son of Bloody Church in front of him was at the fourth level, his strength was nowhere near that of the boss he had defeated earlier.
If Dean McKenzie truly decided to fight back, he hoped to win.
But Dean McKenzie decided not to fight back.
He did not resist and kept his hands behind his back, continuing the demeanour of, ¡®Although I am weaker than you now, I still look down upon you.¡¯
And the fact was, Dean McKenzie did have the ability to look down upon him.
After all, Donald Morgan was at the fourth level and he was still at the second level, the gap between them was huge. It was only normal for Dean McKenzie to lose.
Not to mention that Donald Morgan had been defeated by Dean McKenzie when he had been at the third level.
Seeing the attitude of Dean McKenzie, Donald Morgan¡¯s hand holding the long sword couldn¡¯t help but tremble.
He was livid, yet didn¡¯t want to kill Dean McKenzie just yet.
After all, his previous defeat at Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands had made him theughingstock of the Bloody Church.
Being a third-level mage with perfect quality at level 80, and losing to a second-level mage with excellent quality at level 47, it was a massive loss of face.
Also, if he exterminates Dean McKenzie, a second-level necromancer, with his power at the fourth level and level 81, he wouldn¡¯t only not be able to regain his lost face but might even lose his chances of bing the Son of the Bloody Church.
Therefore, despite being furious, Donald Morgan still held back his wrath.
Now is not the time to kill Dean McKenzie. He has to regain his dignity before considering that.
After all, what he has lost is more than just his face, it might be the holy grail of his life or even his life itself.
¡°Cut the crap. You¡¯re just upset that I¡¯m higher level than you, right?
Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t take advantage of you.
I will let you level up till you¡¯re at the same level as me!
Take him away!¡±
At Donald Morgan¡¯smand, his followers from the Bloody Church surged forward.
A crimson shackle was sped onto Dean McKenzie¡¯s wrist, and a red hood was ced over his head. Then they escorted Dean McKenzie away from the shoreline.
Throughout this, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t show any resistance, he even dismissed his loyal henchman, Old Eight.
Despite Old Eight¡¯s Two Forces ¡®Strong Stealth¡¯bined with the ¡®Weak Presence¡¯ talent which could even evade a fourth-level search, Dean McKenzie called it back.
Dean McKenzie was wagering on the notion that before Donald Morgan could regain his dignity, he would care more about his wellbeing than anything else.
As expected, that¡¯s exactly how it was.
Throughout their journey, Donald Morgan paid more attention to Dean McKenzie than anything else.
Staring at him intensely, he was afraid that Dean McKenzie would escape or be abruptly killed by his men.
Under Donald Morgan¡¯s careful watch, Dean McKenzie¡¯s safety was assured.
When the blood-red hood on Dean McKenzie¡¯s head was removed, he found himself in a stronghold of the Bloody Church.
To be precise, the moment Dean McKenzie stepped into this base, he was met with an overwhelming smell of blood and a faint stench.
The moment his hood was removed, Dean McKenzie¡¯s pupils couldn¡¯t help but contract.
Because he saw the state of the base.
The base was located underground.
In a massive cavern.
The cavern was embedded with a multitude of crimson ¡®Night Pearls¡¯ casting a bizarre bloody glow through the cavern.
Through the bloody radiance, Dean McKenzie saw a corner of the cavern filled with corpses.
Looking at the pile of bodies in the corner, Dean McKenzie felt a surge of anger rise within him.
Monsters!
Dean McKenzie had to forcefully shift his gaze, afraid that he would lose his temper and strike out.
When Dean McKenzie turned his gaze, he saw his immediate surrounding.
He was locked in an individual cage inside the cavern.
This cage was filled with crimson runes, which looked odd and terrifying.
To the side of Dean McKenzie¡¯s cage were two rows of cages. These cages were bigger, the smallest one being around twenty to thirty square feet, and thergest one reaching up to a hundred square feet.
Chapter 177:135 Thir-turn Trial_2
Chapter 177:135 Thir-turn Trial_2
Trantor: 549690339
Dozens of cages, most of them cram full of people.
The living conditions of those inside the cages are extremely dire. of¡°KenZie eV¡ãUS remnantS¡¯ many Pe¡ãPle lying ¡ãn tOp
This scene dealt a tremendous blow to Dean¡¯s morale.
He unconsciously retreated several steps back until he hit the cage.
At this moment, the blood-colored light on the cage lit up, and Dean felt as if his body was being hacked by a thousand knives.
The intense pain made Dean break out in cold sweat.
Just as Dean was sweating profusely, a figure next to him stirred.
¡°You¡¯re in quite a predicament right now!¡±
It was Donald Morgan¡¯s voice.
Dean turned to look and saw Donald Morgan standing outside the cage, looking down on him with a mocking smirk: ¡°Can¡¯t you even handle this small challenge?¡±
Dean¡¯s gaze turned icy cold: ¡°Beasts! You monsters are not human at all!¡±
¡°Beasts? Not human?¡±
Donald Morganughed and sat down outside Dean¡¯s cage: ¡°I haven¡¯t been human for a long time, I¡¯m long past being a beast now!¡±
Saying this, Donald Morgan nced at the cages on both sides, narrowed his eyes, and continued: ¡°Ten years ago, I was also locked in one of these cages waiting to die.
The moment I opened my mouth to eat my sister to stay alive, I ceased being human!¡± 6
Donald Morgan¡¯s words made Dean pause: ¡°What did you say?¡±
Donald Morgan didn¡¯t look at Dean, but instead focused on the other cages, squinting as he said: ¡°You didn¡¯t really think I was born a saint of the Bloody Church, did you?
Initially, I was just like everyone else, captured and used as a sacrificial offering.
My sister was abducted with me.
I stayed in one of those cages for three long months. In order to stay alive and protect my sister, I didn¡¯t dare to sleep with my eyes closed during those months.
Yet in the end, my sister still died!
From the day my sister died, I knew that in order to survive in this world being human wouldn¡¯t suffice!
You have to be ruthless, you have to abandon everything that makes you human, includingyour dignity and the virtues of humanity, and be a cold- blooded beast.
Only then could I stand a chance to survive.
SO, to survive, I killed people stuck in the cages like me, just like a venomous snake. In front of those outside the cages, I behaved like a dog wagging his tail to beg for mercy.
Eventually, I got a chance. A chance that would change my destiny.
I got the chance to evolve,pleted it, and then climbed up to where I am today step by step!¡±
Donald Morgan casually recounted his past.
But for Dean standing nearby, this revtion was immensely shocking. He never expected that this guy before his eyes had such a past.
However, Dean quickly became suspicious: ¡°Why are you telling me all this?¡± Donald Morgan looked at Dean: ¡°I¡¯ve made so many sacrifices, incurred so many deaths to go from a sacrificial offering in a cage to where I am now.
I was just about to be the Saint of the Bloody Church when I became theughing stock of the Bloody Church due to our battle.
If I don¡¯t redeem my honour, everything I have will vanish in an instant.
I cannot fall here!¡±
Dean squinted: ¡°And then what!¡±
¡°Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to start the Third-turn Trial to help you achieve third-turn.
Then I¡¯m gonna fight you.¡±
Dean asked: ¡°Do you expect me to lose to you?¡±
Donald Morgan shookhis head: ¡°A fourth-turn fighting a third-turn, killing youwon¡¯tcarry much meaning!
I can never wash away that disgrace!
I will lose to you again!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°I said, I will lose to you again in tomorrow¡¯s battle, and then someone will stand up and try to crush you!¡±
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Dean¡¯s mind: ¡°Another saint candidate?¡±
¡°Yes, help me defeat him, better yet, kill him!¡±
Donald Morgan nodded firmly.
This made Deanpletely understand Donald¡¯s n. It would be quite difficult for Donald to wash away his disgrace. Even if he defeated Dean a third-turn or even fourth-turn, he would not be able to remove his shame.
People will always remember his loss as a third-turn to a second-turn.
And the best way to alter this oue is to make others share his fate.
If another Saint Candidate also ends up defeated by Dean just like him then it won¡¯t just be his shame anymore. This n is much more usible than him defeating Dean.
Seeing Donald nodding firmly, Dean finally realized that previously, on the shoreline, it wasn¡¯t so much him manipting Donald, but more Donald exploiting the circumstances.
This guy¡¯s mind games were much more terrifying than Dean had imagined.
But it also made sense. He grew up in this living hell, if he didn¡¯t have the skills to survive, he would¡¯ve already died somewhere unknown.
Realizing his intentions, Dean changed the subject: ¡°What about the person you guys captured before?¡±
Without any hesitation, Donald replied: ¡°After we¡¯ve aplished our mission, I will help you rescue her!¡±
Dean scoffed: ¡°That¡¯s meaningless, don¡¯t treat me like a fool. As long as I can still be used, I hold some value. Once your goal is achieved, it will already be a miracle if you don¡¯t kill me, let alone help me rescue her.
Do you see me as an idiot?
I don¡¯t have many requests. Just tell me about her situation.¡±
Donald Morgan was silent for a while before replying: ¡°She¡¯s alive! After we captured her, a person who imed to be from the Professional Alliance called so the Church people didn¡¯ty a finger on her and instead took good care of her.¡±
¡°Where is she?¡±
¡°Just forget about that for now, I can¡¯t possibly tell you that now. If you want to know, then just behave well tomorrow!¡±

Trantor: 549690339
After Donald Morgan finished speaking, he didn¡¯t give Dean McKenzie a chance to renegotiate but left straight away.
Watching Donald Morgan¡¯s departing figure, Dean¡¯s eyes narrowed.
He watched Donald¡¯s figure get further and further away until it disappeared. Only then did Dean close his eyes and made every effort to enter the Meditation State.
He had to enter the Meditation State. The situation in thisva cave was such that if Dean didn¡¯t, he was afraid he might not be able to stop himself from striking out.
¡°Bear with it, just bear with it. Since someone is so generous to help me reach Third-turn, I have no reason to refuse it!
Wait till I reach Third-turn and then strike.
Tomorrow, is it? Good, tomorrow I will give you a huge surprise!¡±
With that, Dean sunk into a deep Meditation State.
Even though this state couldn¡¯t help Dean increase his Mana limit, it could calm his mind and also improve his Skill proficiency.
When Dean entered the Meditation State, with a ¡®squeak¡¯, the cage he was in was suddenly opened, and a small figure was thrown in andnded on Dean. Dean opened his eyes and saw it was a pink-cheeked child about three to four years old.
From outside the cage, the returning Donald Morgan said, ¡°This child¡¯s too young. It¡¯s too dangerous to leave her in other cages, so could you take care of her!¡±
Dean¡¯s face suddenly turned cold.
He knew very well why Donald was doing this.
It was clear that he thought that just having a mystery person wasn¡¯t enough, he needed to put more pressure on Dean to make him work harder tomorrow. Dean could foresee that during the battle tomorrow, this child would certainly be used as a bargaining chip by Donald to threaten him.
Of course, Dean also had a way to break this stalemate.
As long as he didn¡¯t care about this child, or even went further, and killed the child, he wouldn¡¯t have to fear the other¡¯s threat.
I can t take care of people, so you take her away. Otherwise, what you¡¯ll see tomorrow morning can only be a corpse!¡±
In that case, this wouldn¡¯t necessarily be a bad thing for her.
At least her death won¡¯t be so painful. Anyway, I¡¯ve left her here, so deal with her as you see fit!¡±
After he finished, Donald Morgan once again turned around and left, leaving Dean and a shivering little girl behind.
The temperature in the underground cave was still rtively low. Adding the environmental factor, if Dean ignored her, the child would either be dead or insane by tomorrow morning.
Dean looked at the little girl, his face growing colder, he gritted his teeth.
The next morning, when Donald Morgan came to Dean¡¯s cage, he found only Dean remaining.
The little girl was gone, leaving only a pile of ash that was eroded by the Power of Death.
Upon seeing this, Donald Morgan was stunned and couldn¡¯t help but look at Dean.
¡°Where is the person?¡±
Dean, with his drooping eyes, coldly replied, ¡°I¡¯m a kind-hearted person. I can¡¯t bear to see the child suffer!¡±
Seeing Dean¡¯s appearance, Donald Morgan couldn¡¯t help but deride, ¡°So you just turned her into ashes?
I must say, I underestimated you!
It took me three months to be a beast, but youpleted this glorious transformation in just one day.¡±
Dean ignored him and continued to keep his eyes down.
Seeing this, Donald Morgan didn¡¯t bother talking with Dean, and said: ¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll take you toplete your Promotion!¡±
Afterwards, the cage opened.
Dean was once again put on a hood and handcuffs, then Donald Morgan led him to a Promotion Temple.
Upon seeing the Promotion Temple, Dean was taken aback, as he didn¡¯t expect the Bloody Church to possess such a thing.
Moreover, the Promotion Temple in front of Dean¡¯s eyes seemed more advanced than the one in Spring City, having four levels.
The Promotion limit of a Promotion Temple can be seen from the number of levels it has.
The highest limit of the three-level Promotion Temple in Spring City is Thir- turn, while this one supports Fourth-turn Promotion.
The fact that a Promotion Temple possessed by the Fallen Professionals organization was more advanced than a city¡¯s of the Professional Alliance was somewhat nonsensical.
However, it makes sense upon thinking about it. If only the Professional
Alliance controlled the Promotion Temple, then the Fallen Professionals groups like the Bloody Church wouldn¡¯t be making any waves.
¡°Here, take this!¡±
While Dean was looking at the Promotion Temple in a daze, Donald, who was next to him, handed him a token.
When Dean took it over and saw it, his eyes instantly narrowed.
Name: Lower Level Promotion Temple Token
Description: essible to the Promotion Materials for First-turn to Thir-turn Promotion Trials.
¡°I was wondering why you didn¡¯t ask me what Promotion materials I needed. As it turns out, there is this thing. Isn¡¯t this quite valuable?¡±
So, you have to be worth this price!
Work hard, I¡¯ll wait for you here after youe out!¡±
Donald Morgan patted Dean¡¯s shoulder, then like a long-time friend, he sent Dean into the Promotion Temple.
Dean also walked in with a smile.
As Dean stepped into the Promotion Temple, the expressions of both Dean inside and Donald outside the door became icy cold.
Simultaneously, as Dean entered the Promotion Temple, a beam of light directly shone on him and system prompts started refreshing one after another.
[Detected you have a [Lower Level Promotion Temple Token], do you want to use this token to start the Third-turn Promotion Trial?]
¡°Yes!¡±
[Please choose your trial difficulty [Simple][Normal][Hard][Nightmare][Hell]!] This time, there was an added difficulty level named [Hell] for the Promotion Trialpared to the previous trials.
Seeing this difficulty, Dean didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately chose [Hell]!
It was not that he looked down on the first four, nor did Dean underestimate this [Hell],
It was that Dean now needed strength.
Being in the Bloody Church¡¯s stronghold, without enough strength, it would be hard for Dean to escape, let alone save the mystery person.
Therefore, he didn¡¯t care how much higher the difficulty level of this Hell waspared to the previous Nightmare.
Since it s out there, he has to choose it!
[Your difficulty choice ispleted. The trial officially begins!]

Trantor: 549690339
[You have sessfully entered the Land of Trials, the Promotion Trial has officially begun!]
[Trial task, defeat the enemy before you!]
Two system prompts refreshed, and Dean McKenzie opened his eyes.
As soon as Dean opened his eyes, a fierce Holy Light burst in front of him.
The enemy directly lunged at Dean without any decency.
Bone Resistance!
The long-umted skill activated instantly.
Then, without waiting to see the result, Dean immediately activated the Bone Armor.
After the Bone Armor was activated, and his body was covered in bones, Dean turned his gaze to the enemy in front of him.
To his surprise, he saw a knight standing in front of him.
A knight in a silver-white armor, holding a long spear, sitting on a unicorn.
An Appraisal Skill from Dean revealed the enemy¡¯s attributes.
Name: Projection of the Holy Knight
Quality: Perfect
Level: Level 80
Trait: Power of Holy Light (B) (Passive increases damage to Dark System entities by 100%, reduces the effectiveness of Dark System skills by 50%, once actively activated, immune to all controls, restores self-damage, and increases all attributes by 300%! Duration is 30 minutes! Once per day)
Basic Attributes:
Strength: 1800, Agility: 820, Physique: 1800, Spirit: 1800
Attack: 7200
Defense: 7200
Spirit Power: 100,000
Skills: ???
Mount: Projection of Unicorn (Perfect) (Level 80) (Agility 3000, increases knight¡¯s skill power by 300%, with skill Power of Holy Light)
Equipment: Spear of the Holy Knight (Gold) Holy Knight Suit (Gold)
Over the top, simply over the top!
These attributes are more exaggerated than Donald Morgan¡¯s attributes before his promotion!
It even suppresses the Dark System profession.
When Dean saw these attributes, he knew that this hell difficulty level wasn¡¯t meant for anyone to pass through.
Luckily, Dean is no longer just anyone!
¡°Vision Deprivation!¡±
¡°Slow Curse!¡±
With a wave of his hand, Dean sent two skills out, one to strip the vision, and the other to make his opponent stand still.
At the same time, Dean began to build up power for Bone Prison.
To deal with this kind of knight, Dean has plenty of experience.
As long as you don¡¯t let it run, you can sh hisbat power by eighty or ny percent!
However, it seemed that Dean had underestimated the Holy Knight.
His two skillssted less than 2 seconds on the Holy Knight, who instantly broke free from the control state.
The unicorn under him shed with a holy light, transformed into a ray of holy light and rushed at Dean again.
In an instant, it collided with Dean, the long spear in its hand ¡°nked¡± and went straight into Dean¡¯s Bone Armor.
Even though Dean¡¯s Bone Armor, after being enhanced by the [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat], had reached Level 2, and his base spirit was over two thousand, its defense was as high as 260,000, with a fixed defense close to 190,000.
However, it was almost prated under the opponent¡¯s blow.
There was no way, who let the opponent suppress Dean, being able to deal double damage to Dean.
But Dean isn¡¯t so easy to hit either.
As the Holy Knight¡¯s spear descended, it got stuck in Dean¡¯s Bone Armor. At this time, Dean¡¯s Bone Prison skill rose.
It was exactly the same move he had used against Donald Morgan before.
Once again, Dean trapped himself and the Holy Knight together.
The difference was, this time after using Bone Prison, the Ring of Wandering Dragon flickered in Dean¡¯s hand, his silhouette was pulled away by 150 meters out of nowhere, directly escaping from the Bone Prison.
As the caster, Dean could easily leave, but the Holy Knight couldn¡¯t.
The Holy Knight was trapped in ce.
Dean raised his hand, and the Bone Spear Charge gun was activated. Bone Spears were fired out like they were free.
Don¡¯t look at the Bone Spear which hasn¡¯t been strengthened by Dean now, its power is still terrifying.
With Dean¡¯s basic spirit of about two thousand, the damage dealt could reach fifteen thousand.
The Spears hit the Holy Knight in rapid session.
Despite the Holy Knight¡¯s high defense, it quickly started to bleed.
Realizing that the situation was wrong, the Holy Knight decisively activated his ultimate skill!
The Power of Holy Light was activated, and the holy light instantly enveloped the Holy Knight, directly destroying the Bone Prison which had trapped him.
At the same time, his all attributes increased by 300% directly.
In an instant, the Holy Knight¡¯s attributes became:
Strength: 54.00, Agility: 2460, Physique: 5400, Spirit: 5400
Attack: 21600
Defense: 21600
Simply terrifying.
Without any hesitation, Dean immediately activated the full encasement defense of Bone Armor.
In an instant, Dean turned into a turtle shell.
Defense also increased five times directly.
Instantly raising the defense from around 260,000 to 1,300,000, and it was still fixed defense.
Once this turtle shell was activated, Dean would be basically worry-free.
As long as the opponent doesn¡¯t have special damages and can¡¯t deal more than 1,300,000 attacks, Dean will be invincible.
The price was that Dean couldn¡¯t move himself either.
But it was not a big deal, Dean wouldn¡¯t move, he would just hold on for 30 minutes. When the Holy Knight is no longer able, Dean could fight back.
In the next thirty minutes, the Holy Knight brutally attacked the turtle shell Dean was in.
This let Dean learn about the Holy Knight¡¯s methods.
Quite scary, he used seven or eight basic skills, four or five first-turn skills, and two second-turn skills.
The damage was terrifying under various enhancements, even ranging up to nearly a million in damage.
But it was no use, he couldn¡¯t break through this terrifying defense of 1,300,000.
Just as Dean thought the Holy Knight couldn¡¯t break his defenses, the Holy Knight suddenly stopped and retreated on his unicorn.

Upon seeing this, Dean McKenzie knew that his opponent was about to unleash a massive attack.
As expected, after retreating several hundred meters, the Holy Light Knight¡¯s unicorn shone brightly beneath him.
In an instant, the Holy Light Knight was again before Dean McKenzie, a mere few dozen meters away. Then, the unicorn made a high leap, and the knight¡¯snce glistened mid-flight.
The next second, thence transformed into a golden lightning bolt, crashing down from above.
¡°Crack!¡± echoed a sound.
This time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s defense was directly broken. Thence pierced through the Bone Armor, crushed the Guardian Power of Earth on Dean McKenzie, and broke through the invisible shield, prating Dean McKenzie¡¯s body from the shoulder de down, burying deep into the ground. At this single strike, any average Necromancer would have been long dead. Luckily, Dean McKenzie was no ordinary Necromancer ¨C his physique was over 900, and he also had an F-level [Holy Light Resistance].
Moreover, when the blownded on Dean McKenzie, the power behind it had already passed its prime. So, while it gravely injured him, it did not kill Dean McKenzie.
On the spot, Dean McKenzie activated the active trait of [Enhanced Physique]. His hideous wounds started to heal incredibly quickly.
On the other hand, the Holy Light Knight¡
After that strike, he fell from his peak state.
Although he didn¡¯t experience weakness like Doggy Two after falling from his peak, the 30-minute long burst of power had nearly exhausted his Spirit Power. Moreover, after delivering the blow, he was left rigid.
Taking advantage of this, Dean McKenzie activated the Turtle Shell, pointed his hand, and a Bone Fang directly eliminated the Holy Light Knight.
[You have sessfully killed the [Holy Light Knight Projection] (Perfect) (Level 80), and you gained 4 Light Points!]
[You sessfully used Extraction on [Holy Light Knight Projection], gaining 50 attribute points and a piece of Perfect Temte fragment! ]
Although he had managed to deal with this Holy Light Knight, Dean McKenzie did not feel ted.
After all, the battle had not been easy for him.
¡°I was only able to win because hecked intelligence. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been so easy!
Who knows? I could have been the one to lose if I had been careless!¡±
At the same time, he couldn¡¯t help but harbor some doubts.
This Holy Light Knight,cking intelligence, was already so troublesome. Could it have been so easy to deal with Donald Morgan back then?
Did he truly not dodge out of carelessness?
But based on the interaction with him yesterday, Dean McKenzie found Donald to be quite cautious?
Did he do it intentionally?
Falling into deep thought, the system notification refreshed at this moment. [Congrattions on sessfullypleting the Hell Mode Third-turn Trial!] As the system refreshed, a gray beam of light shone on Dean McKenzie.
This time, the beam was thicker than the previous twobined, and itsted even longer.
Without at least half an hour, the gray light wouldn¡¯t stop. Dean McKenzie fortunately shifted his gaze to the four light points dropped by the Holy Light Knight, picking them up one by one.
[You sessfully opened 4 Light Points. You received 1000 Gold Coins, one Holy Light Potion, one Skill Book, and the Holy Light Sword! ]
Name: Holy Light Potion
Description: Consuming this as a Holy Light Profession will increase Holy Light affinity, with a chance to improve the Holy Light Temte. If consumed by a Dark System Profession, it will be like consuming a potent poison.
One-tenth of it can melt an 80-level Dark Profession
Skill Book: Holy Light Judgment
Learning requirement: Holy Light Knight, Level 61
Equipment: Holy Light Sword
Level: 80

None of these three items could be used by Dean McKenzie, the Necromancer. They went straight into the bottom of his storage.
After storing these three items, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell upon the body of the Holy Light Knight.
More precisely, he looked at the body of the unicorn.
Dean McKenzie sent out a probe of soul, wondering: ¡°Does this count as a horse?¡±
The reason Dean McKenzie posed such a profound question was because he remembered that he still had two unused items in his inventory.
The [Skeleton Horse Seed] and [Skeleton Knight Temte],
Dean McKenzie had tried to use the [Skeleton Knight Temte] before, but the prompt said he needs to provide a horse for summoning, which he didn¡¯t have. Quite presumptuous! To summon a Skeleton Knight, you had to provide a horse. No horse and you¡¯re out of luck.
Dean McKenzie had already forgotten about this matter, but upon seeing the unicorn, he suddenly had a bold idea.
Does this count as a horse?
If it does, can the [Skeleton Horse Seed] be used on it?
If so, can the unicorn skeleton horse,bined with the [Skeleton Knight Temte] and 2 Rare Temtes he still has, form a Rare-level Skeleton Knight?
Dean McKenzie felt like he could give it a try!
If it really worked, he could potentially add a significantbat power to his team.
So, Dean tossed the body of this Holy Light Knight into the Land of Bone while throwing the [Skeleton Horse Seed] on the Unicorn.
[You used [Skeleton Horse Seed] on the [Unicorn Projection Corpse], Due to the target possessing a special power, the probability of sess for this item usage will not exceed ten percent! ]
¡°A ten percent sess rate?¡±
If you round that off, isn¡¯t it just the same as throwing it into water directly? Would this Bone Rebirth skill from Summon Skeleton be useful here?¡± This sudden idea struck Dean.
No one would provide an answer for Dean, and Dean didn¡¯t anticipate anybody to provide him an answer. Having an idea, he simply acted on it and turned on the [Bone Rebirth],
Then, the system notification refreshed.
[Do you wish to spend 500 gold coins to use [Bone Rebirth] on [Holy Light
Knight Projection], but fail!]
¡°Doi even have to pay for this skill effect?¡±
Dean furrowed his brows, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and paid. Then, heforted himself, ¡°If they want money, then let it be. Besides, this guy dropped 1000. I¡¯m only spending five hundred and still earn five hundred!¡± So, the result.
[Using the [Bone Rebirth] skill on the [Holy Light Knight Projection] failed!] ¡°Damn!¡± The 500 gold coins went down the drain!
[You used the [Skeleton Horse Seed] on the [Skeleton Horse Seed], the sess rate of this item usage was eighty percent! ]
Good!¡± Some of the wasted 500 gold coins seemed to have returned.
And system notification refreshed again.
[Estimated time required: 3 days!]
Dean immediately closed this notification and shifted his attention to the gray light on his body.
By then, the gray light on Dean was almost gone.
At the same time, Dean could clearly feel that the power in his body was about toe surging out again.
In less than three minutes, the system notification refreshed again.

The stronghold where the Promotion Temple that Dean McKenzie of the Bloody Church had entered was located.
Suddenly, the Promotion Temple emitted a brilliant glow, and at the same time, something akin to the gates of Hell appeared on top of the Promotion Temple.
The radiance drew the immediate attention of church members in the stronghold who had been busy with their work.
The moment everyone saw the Hell-like gate atop the Promotion Temple, their faces were filled with disbelief.
¡°Hell Mode? Has someone actually cleared Hell Mode?¡±
¡°I thought the two substitute holy sons of our church were already unmatched in the world, but I never expected there would be someone even braver than them!¡±
¡°It seems that our Church is about to produce a true holy son!¡±
For a while, envy and jealousy spread throughout the entire stronghold.
Of course, those who were envious and jealous were the lower-ranking members. Those of high rank and power did more than just watch.
Another holy son of the Bloody Church, who was originally assaulting a woman, immediately stopped upon receiving the news, and ordered his subordinate: ¡°Within three minutes, I want all the info on this person!¡±
At the same time, the person in charge of this stronghold, one of the twelve bishops of the Bloody Church and a Fifth-turn powerhouse, uttered almost the same words.
It¡¯s fair to say that Dean McKenzie¡¯s Promotion Trial drew the attention of the entire Bloody Church¡¯s stronghold.
For a time, the entire base was in turmoil with undercurrents surging. However, Donald Morgan, who was at the center of the storm, remained calm. He stood quietly outside the entrance of the Promotion Temple, waiting for Dean McKenzie toe out.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t keep him waiting for long.
Soon after, a door creaked open, and Dean McKenzie emerged from within the Promotion Temple.
But when Dean McKenzie stepped out, he found that his surroundings were not the same as when he had entered.
For one, there hadn¡¯t been a single person when Dean had gone in.
But now, the area outside the Promotion Temple was crowded with people.
There were hundreds of people huddled together.
Secondly, Dean noticed that the ground outside the Promotion Temple had changed.
Before he had entered, the ground was clean. But by the time Dean emerged, there was an extremelyplicated marking on the ground.
This marking was obviously drawn with fresh blood.
It was filled with the smell of gore.
This could contain massive evil ¨C just one nce at it made one feel ufortable.
As Dean McKenzie was observing the ground, Donald Morgan, who had been waiting for him, finally spoke: ¡°This beneath your feet will be used tomence the sacrificial ceremony. We have mostly everything prepared. All we¡¯re missing is a single sacrifice to make it functional!¡±
Dean McKenzie probed, ¡°Did you n to make me that sacrifice?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Donald pped his hands, and suddenly a dozen members of the Bloody
Church dragged a few dozen people in and ced them by the Altar, slitting each of their throats.
Having done all this, Donald Morgan turned his gaze to Dean McKenzie: ¡°They are the sacrifices! Wait for me for a moment. Once their blood runs dry and they are sacrificed, this ritual will bring your powers to the Fourth-turn, then we can fight fairly!¡±
¡°No need! When I was Second-turn, I was able to defeat you at Third-turn. As a Third-turn now, I can simrly annihte a Four-turn like you!¡±
After saying that, Dean McKenzie made his move!
With a quick motion, he shot a Bone Spear straight toward Donald Morgan. Donald Morgan sneered at the uing Bone Spear: ¡°It seems you still don¡¯t understand the gap between Third-turn and Fourth-turn. As it stands, I will give you a taste of the difference between the Third-turn and Fourth-turn first!¡±
With these words, his crimson sword easily shattered Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spear.
At the same time, he lifted his long sword, preparing to take down Dean McKenzie at close range.
Butthen, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spear went into Charge mode, one spear following another as if he didn¡¯t care about the cost.
That took Donald Morgan off guard.
This scene elicited a wave of jeers from the onlookers.
Although Donald Morgan was a substitute holy son of the Bloody Church, not everyone was willing to give him face.
Especially the people under Hayward Xavier, the other substitute holy son.
They jeered the loudest when they saw Donald Morgan getting the short end of the stick right after his bold im.
But while they were jeering, Hayward Xavier didn¡¯t have the time to ridicule his old rival.
Moreover, as someone on the same level as Donald Morgan, his vision was not something that a bunch of ordinary church members couldpare to.
He could tell that Donald Morgan¡¯s momentary shock was not due to his ipetence, but rather because of the remarkable performance of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spear.
Every Bone Spear dealt close to a hundred thousand in damage.
This damage was absolutely top-tier for a Third-turn level. And Dean McKenzie was dishing these attacks out like basic moves.
Even he himself would be caught off guard and thrown into confusion if he encountered such an attack unprepared, let alone Donald Morgan.
Just with this alone, Hayward realized that Dean McKenzie was extraordinary.
If they were both on the Third-turn level, he and Donald Morganbined might still not be a match for Dean McKenzie.
But what had really caught Hayward Xavier¡¯s attention right now was not this. What he was more interested in was the Altar Map beneath Dean McKenzie. ¡°Did you notice? The Altar Map beneath his feet is not simple!¡±
As Hayward Xavier was observing Dean McKenzie¡¯s feet, he heard the voice of the person in charge here, Dous Murphy.
Hayward responded calmly, ¡°Did my adoptive father notice something?¡± Dous Murphy: ¡°It¡¯s a Double Altar. On the surface, it seems that these people are going to be sacrificed to give this young man named Dean McKenzie a power boost, but actually, that¡¯s just the first step, a ruse. The crux lies in the second step.¡±

Trantor: 549690339
Once Donald Morgan defeats Dean McKenzie, he will be able to activate the second step of the Altar, directly sacrificing Dean McKenzie, integrating everything about thisd into himself!¡±
¡°Donald Morgan is calcting very deeply. He wants to defeat thisd today not only to avenge his former humiliation, but also to step on thisd¡¯s bones to establish himself as the true Son of the Bloody Church.¡±
¡°They¡¯re dreaming!¡±
¡°I will not let him seed, father!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I put a trick on thatd early on. He can¡¯t win, but we won¡¯t rush right now, let him wear down thatd first, test out his tactics, and have a feel for the battle. This way you can kill in one shot when you go down!¡±
¡°Father is indeed a clever strategist!¡±
The two men were silent, and within a few words, had already nned everything.
Meanwhile, the battle between Dean McKenzie and Donald Morgan continued. At this point, Dean McKenzie, afterpleting the third-turn, hadpletely turned into a data beast.
Even without enhanced skills, out with terrifying power.
in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands, they could still burst
A Bone Spear left Donald Morgan scrambling, but he was, after all, the candidate for the Son of the Bloody Church, and he had many tactics at his disposal.
After a rush of panic, he quickly changed his strategy, deciding to resist Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spear defenselessly.
¡°Splurge!¡±
He was pierced by a Bone Spear on the spot.
The pierced Donald Morgan turned into a blood -colored rainbow light and instantly rushed to Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
Bone Resistance!
Slow Curse!
Both skills shot out simultaneously, and Donald Morgan was instantly paralyzed in ce. At the same time, the ground filled with Bone Fangs bloomed like lotus flowers. A dark thunderbolt moved between the bones hitting Donald Morgan solidly.
¡°Snap¡±
A Thunder crackled on Donald Morgan¡¯s body.
With this one blow, not only Donald Morgan, but all the disciples of the Bloody Church who were watching, felt their scalps go numb.
They might not have gleaned much from the Bone Spear before, but under this hit, they could all feel the terrifying power of it.
No one under the fourth-turn can endure it and remain Undying.
By the fourth-turn, they would also have to be seriously injured if hit solidly.
Donald Morgan spit out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot.
But this one blow alsopletely enraged Donald Morgan.
¡°Bloody Heart!¡±
A name emerged from his mouth, and Donald Morgan¡¯s body was instantly wrapped in blood-colored mes.
Seeing this scene, Hayward Xavier and Dous Murphy exchanged nces. They both realized that Donald Morgan was going all out, and he had pulled out all his best skills.
On Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, noticing that the situation was not right, he immediately summoned the Bone Armor.
But it was of no use.
The erupting Donald Morgan was incredibly frightening, and in an instant, he shattered Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Armor.
He was about to take one step further.
At this moment, the blood light on Donald Morgan¡¯s body suddenly dimmed and a mouthful of fresh blood shot directly out.
Taking the opportunity, Dean McKenzie sent out one Bone Spear and directly knocked Donald Morgan into the ground. He raised his hand for another Spear but Donald Morgan transformed into blood and retreated.
But with this retreat, the oue was basically decided.
The fightsted less than three minutes, and Donald Morgan was defeated by Dean McKenzie for the second time.
Just as Donald Morgan had been defeated, a wave of apuse couldn¡¯t help but sound. r
¡°Good, very good. To be able to defeat a fourth-turn with the body of a third- turn, such a war record is one in ten thousand.¡±
¡°Seeing this makes me itch for a fight,d. I wonder if you would mind having a match with me?¡± e
As the voice sounded, another candidate for the Son, Hayward Xavier, couldn¡¯t wait to step into the Altar. He stared at Dean McKenzie intently, swallowing while gazing, as if looking at a beautiful feast.
It was clear that the fish Donald Morgan wanted had taken the bait!
Dean McKenzie was preparing to follow Donald Morgan¡¯s n and use all his strength to defeat this caught fish on the other side. The fish on the other sideughed.
He turned his head to look at another direction.
Donald Morgan, are you sure you want me to fight him?
Why don¡¯tyoeoveraswell!¡±
This sudden turn of events startled Dean McKenzie, who unconsciously followed his gaze in that direction.
There was no one in that ce, but Hayward Xavier didn¡¯t care, he continued squinting his eyes and said: ¡°You are certainly ying tricks. We have been ighting for several years now, do you still take me for a fool?
The moment youid out this scheme, I knew what you were nning to do. First, you used thisd to attract my attention by passing the Hell Mode Trial then you tempted me with these double Altars under our feet.
Then you pretended to lose to him, prepared to lure me into fighting thed. It should be no surprise that I guess you have done something on the Altar beneath us, preparing for the moment when I fight thisd to cheat me, let me fall and be killed, and then youe out to kill thisd.
Not only did you avenge me, but you also re-established your prestige. Finally you sacrificed both of us to establish your path to the Son, right?¡± There was nobody in the direction where Donald Morgan disappeared. Hayward Xavier didn¡¯t mind; he turned his head to look at Dous Murphy. ¡°Father, it seems he still hasn¡¯t lost hope. Why don¡¯t you let him give uppletely!¡±
As soon as Hayward Xavier spoke, Donald Morgan, who was hiding in the dark changed his expression, and immediately started to take action.
But it was toote, before he could make his move.
The blood in his body suddenly froze, and he stiffened there in ce Then a terrifying force surged, and Donald Morgan was pulled out from the darkness. Looking at the embarrassed Donald Morgan being dragged out, Hayward Xavier

With a brilliant smile yet swift actions, Hayward Xavier quickly moved in front of Donald Morgan, grabbing him and snatching the longsword from his hand. Without hesitation, he severed Donald¡¯s limbs and nailed him to the altar with a sword thrust.
Having finished these tasks.
Hayward Xavier patted Donald¡¯s face and chuckled, ¡°Didn¡¯t expect this, did you?¡±
¡°You spent so much time nning, forgetting one thing -1 have an adoptive father.¡±
¡°Now, your trap has turned into your death warrant!¡±
At the same time, Dous Murphy, who saw Donald being captured, showed a smirk and said, ¡°Sacrifice him and Dean McKenzie, and my son will move a step forward, bing the true holy child, the future master of our Bloody Church is within reach!¡±
Hayward shook his head, ¡°No, just sacrificing them might make me the holy child, but to go further would be difficult. I still need my adoptive father¡¯s help!¡±
¡°You can rest assured on that, I will help you clear the obstacles!¡± Dous promised, pping his hands.
¡°Pop!¡±
All members of the Bloody Church present at the scene suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
-Now, by sacrificing them too, my son¡¯s strength can not only advance a step further, but also eliminate all the risks!¡±
Hayward grinned, ¡°Thanks, adoptive father, but this alone is not enough! Hayward¡¯s insatiability narrowed Dous¡¯ eyes, ¡°What more do you want?¡± No sooner had he finished his words than his face suddenly changed, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Dous, who had spat out the mouthful of blood, was visibly weakened and looked at Hayward in terror, ¡°What did you do to me?¡±
¡®¡öYou should have expected it, of course, I put a blood curse on you. I had to pay a great price to get such a fifth-turn tool.
How is it? This thing works well, right!¡±
Dous spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his face full of anger, ¡°You ungrateful¡¡±
¡°Ungrateful what? Ungrateful for selling me to Donald Morgan for a six-turn task scroll?¡±
¡°What are you talking about?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t think rd know about your secret deal with Donald Morgan?
I¡¯m not stupid, and neither is Donald.
He knew about our father-son rtionship. How could he have set this trap so tantly here without dealing with you first?
The Altar isn¡¯t something that can be arranged easily, even without a few months, it takes at least a few days. With your control of this base, there is no way you wouldn¡¯t know.
From the moment the Altar appeared, 1 knew you had betrayed me.
Fortunately, I never trusted you in the first ce.¡±
¡°What do you want to say? You want to say that your dealings with Donald Morgan were just false pretenses, you still intend to help me after taking his things?
Maybe, after all, I am your adopted son, so we have some closeness.
But I dared not gamble. After all, you are a fifth-order, I must have some way to counter you.
Well, initially, that¡¯s what I thought when I started.
But 1 didn¡¯t expect that you would trust me and I would seed so easily. 1 ¡ö¡öidentally¡± gained control of your life and death, and then I couldn¡¯t help but have some more ideas.
After all, I had to ask you to be my adopted father out of helplessness back then, and I was as insignificant as an ant. But now things are different.
Now I, Hayward Xavier, am an honorable man and the Holy Child of the Bloody Church. How can I be content to be under you for a long time, bowing my head and calling you father in front of you?
Moreover, you are not what you used to be.
Back then, you as an adoptive father could help me achieve my current status, but now you as an adoptive father do not have this ability.
Since you are not capable, of course, I need to find another adoptive father who is.
But as long as you¡¯re alive, I can¡¯t make the change!
Now that I have such a good opportunity, I must ask you to go. Every
Qingming, I will burn some opponents for you, making sure you can¡¯t rest even in death.¡±
¡°Pop!¡±
Dous spat out another mouthful of blood.
On one hand, he was cursed, and on the other hand, he was angered.
Just then, Hayward drew a dagger and held it to Dous¡¯s neck, thrusting it in. ¡°Rx, adoptive father. Just breathe deeply, dizziness is normal¡¡± Then, Dous¡¯s throat was wiped by Hayward, and Dous slowly died in agony.
Dean McKenzie, who was looking at the scene, was utterly stunned and terrified.
Dean did not expect Donald Morgan¡¯s n to be soplex, sp meticulously designed, even to the extent of winning over the other¡¯s adoptive father.
What he did not expect was that the other side was even more ruthless ¨C not only they figured out the n, they even managed to easily take down their adoptive father and kill Donald.
This depth of cunning was truly terrifying.
Indeed, none of those who were able to survive and grow up in such a hellhole were simple characters.
When Dean came back to his senses, Hayward had not forgotten him.
While killing his adoptive father, he looked up at Dean.
To Dean¡¯s surprise, when facing him, Hayward was remarkably mild-mannered.
¡ö¡öMr. Dean, I apologize for the spectacle. I suppose a respectable person like you, who has lived under the sun, has not seen such a scene, right?
This is the norm in our lives. Living in the dark and distorted world, we stop at no means for power, naturally there is no trust between each other, and we use cunning to survive.
This has nothing to do with you. Rest assured, I will not harm you.
After all, behind you is a person whose existence alone would make even our Church¡¯s owner tremble. I would never reach out to hurt you.
You can leave now!
I have to get busy next, and I¡¯ll pretend as if I see nothing!
Upon hearing these words, Dean was stunned. He paused, turned his head to look at Donald Morgan, whose limbs were severed and nailed to the altar, and also looked at the members of the Bloody Church all around him who had vomited blood.
After hesitation, he walked out of the Altar Map.
Watching Dean leave the altar, Hayward¡¯s smile became even more brilliant. At this moment, Dean raised his hand, and a Bone Fang shot out¡.

¡°Swoosh!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang attack came as a sudden ambush,pletely unexpected.
However, it held no advantageous oue.
¡°Ding!¡±
Hayward Xavier, who had been smiling at Dean McKenzie¡¯s face the whole time, had never for a moment let his guard down, much less becent.
As soon as Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang was on its way, he already flicked it away with the dagger in his hand.
Simultaneously, he quickly gave up on the nearly dead Dous Murphy, and headed straight for Dean McKenzie!
Dean McKenzie reacted quickly with a ¡°Slow Curse¡± to halt his opponent, immediately followed by ¡°Bone Resistance¡±.
He used the same move again.
But this time, it didn¡¯t have the same effect as before.
The Slow Curse had just taken effect when a blood-red light red on Xavier¡¯s body, nullifying the control.
At the same time, he shed to avoid Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Resistance, then aggressively lunged.
¡°Bone Armor!¡±
¡°Full Defense!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s reaction wasn¡¯t slow either, he directly activated his ultimate ability, entering the Turtle Shell Defense state.
After his third-turn transformation, Dean, who had be a numerical monster, had his defense raised by two or three times in this state.
Xavier¡¯s attack couldn¡¯t break through Dean McKenzie¡¯s defense.
¡°Nice skill!¡±
Standing next to Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Armor, Xavier gently tapped Dean McKenzie¡¯s defense and praised, ¡°Breaking it won¡¯t be an easy task. As expected from someone who can pass the Hell Mode Trial, you are indeed something.¡± ¡°But, aren¡¯t you better off alive? Why attack me? Didn¡¯t I let you go?¡±
¡°What I want is more than just getting away, and I don¡¯t trust you!¡± Dean McKenzie replied from within his defensive stance.
¡°From the moment youid eyes on me, I knew you wouldn¡¯t let me go!¡±
¡°You are rather vignt. Unfortunately, you are a bit naive. I let you out and you just came out?
If you had stayed inside, I would have been a bit cautious around you.
After all, as much as I don¡¯t want to admit it, Donald Morgan is a formidable adversary. If he dared let you challenge me, he must have had confidence that you could kill me.
But now that you¡¯vee out, whatever he had nned is of no use.
Without his tactics, a mere third-turn Mage like you is nothing before me.¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s brows raised, just as he was about to retort, Xavier had already seen his dissatisfaction.
¡°Disagree?¡±
¡°Thinking just because you defeated a third-turn as a second-turn, you can defeat a fourth-turn as a third-turn?
You are too naive.
The gap between second and third-turns, and third and fourth-turns, is an entirely different concept, not on the same level.
Let me show you the vast difference between us!¡±
As Hayward Xavier spoke, his dagger gently pierced into the Bone Armor in front of Dean McKenzie.
This attack, despite not being a fierce outburst nor having strong power, most likely not amounting to more than a hundred thousand, still truly pierced Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Armor. Concurrently, Dean could clearly feel his Bone Armor stalling.
Nearly immediately, Dean saw myriad cracks appearing on his Bone Armor.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face changed colors.
At the same moment, a faint smile appeared on Xavier¡¯s face: ¡°The biggest difference between the third and fourth turn is how to utilize their own strength. Third-turn professionals utilize the strength, fourth-turn professionals gradually master the strength.¡±
The same ability, same kind of attribute, used by a third and fourth turn have different results.
For instance, this strike of mine would only interrupt a same-level professional¡¯s skill. However, against a third-turn like you, I can use it to break your skill! Do you understand?¡±
Dean McKenzie stared at his crumbling Bone Armor and subconsciously nodded, ¡°I see. No wonder after the fourth-turn, there is an additional ¡®Intermediate¡¯ Trait that reduces the damage from low-level professionals by eighty percent and increases damage to low-level professionals by eighty percent. So that¡¯s why!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Hayward Xavier, worthy of being the one to counterkill Donald Morgan, felt that something was wrong the moment he heard Dean McKenzie¡¯s words.
Moreover, his reaction was acutely swift. He wanted to retreat from Dean McKenzie almost instantaneously.
But it was toote!
The Gate of Bone behind Dean McKenzie opened instantly, and Bone King Doggy Two, who had been amassing power for quite a while, roared from within.
The Bone King with Dragon¡¯s Might instantly turned Xavier¡¯s face pale.
At the same time, Old Eight emerged from the shadow beneath Xavier and pierced straight through his chest.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang struck Xavier¡¯s chest.
The terrifying frost immediately detonated, instantly freezing Xavier¡¯s body into an ice statue.
¡°[Sessfully killed Hayward Xavier (Bloody Saint) (Perfect) (Level 81), your level raises to Level 62!]¡±
¡°[Your Strength, Physique, Agility and Spirit each increase by 16 points!]¡±
The system refreshed.
Foretelling that this cunning individual had indeed been stealthily killed off by Dean McKenzie.
After killing Xavier, Dean McKenzie quickly turned his gaze to Dous Murphy and shot off another Bone Fang.
He got a bargain, sweeping up the barely breathing Dous Murphy too.
[You have sessfully killed [Dous Murphy] (Rare) (Level 101), your level has risen to 65!]
[Your attribute points have been increased, you have been granted an additional quota, currently remaining quota: 3!]
And this was just the beginning.
Dean McKenzie took away these two major yers, he didn¡¯t let any of the currently immobilized ones get away either; he killed all of them.
[You killed 366 Second-Turn Blood Cult members]
[You killed 231 Third-turn Blood Cult members]
[You killed 7 Fourth-turn Blood Cult members!]
[Your level has risen to 71!]
One base alone has made Dean McKenzie¡¯s level skyrocket by 10.
Then, Dean McKenzie started extracting talents.
[You sessfully used Extraction on [Hayward Xavier], gaining 50 attribute points, and a fragment of a Perfect Temte!]
[You sessfully used Extraction on [Dous Murphy], gaining 50, and a Rare Quality Temte!]
It has to be said, the quality of this base is quite high.
Those who could reach the Second-Turn were basically of Excellent Quality; about half of the Third-Turn ones were of Rare Quality; and among the Fourth-Turn, only one was of Excellent Quality.
In one fell swoop, Dean McKenzie got 150 Excellent Temtes and 50 Rare Temtes.
The most important part was that after getting Hayward Xavier¡¯s temte, Dean McKenzie now had two fragments of Perfect Quality temtes on hand. He only needed one more topose a Perfect Quality Temte.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but linger on the only surviving blood cult member, Donald Morgan.
Donald Morgan also possessed a Perfect Temte. As long as he killed him, Dean McKenzie could obtain a Perfect Temte.
At this moment, Donald Morgan was barely hanging on. If only Dean McKenzie made a stronger effort, his death would be certain.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t make that effort at that moment. He only nced at the limbless Donald Morgan before he opened the Gate of Bone.
At this moment, the Gate of Bone that Dean McKenzie opened led directly to a cold, dank dungeon built by Old Six.
And in that dungeon, was a child.
A three- or four-year-old girl, who looked as delicate as a crafted doll.
Aside from this little girl, there were Doggy Two from Dean McKenzie¡¯s home, Old Six, Old Four, and Old Nine.
There were also 45 Fourth-Turn Skeletons that had just been summoned afterpleting their promotion in the Promotion Temple.
And they were all staring at the little girl.
To keep an eye on this girl, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t even ask Doggy Two to step in when he was killing Hayward Xavier.
¡°Hayward Xavier probably couldn¡¯t imagine that he thought he saw through everything, but in fact, he was still used by you in the end.
I have to say, you yed your cards quite well!¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie looked at the little girl and pronounced her name word byword: ¡°Bio! Od! Morgan!¡±
¡°Big brother, big brother, what are you saying, I can¡¯t understand!¡±
¡°Are you really not understanding?
Or are you pretending to not understand?
Is it any use pretending at this point?
At first, I didn¡¯t see it, I just thought you were attacking my weak spot by using a little girl and wanted to control me.
But after you started everything today, I realized there¡¯s no need for it.
Once your n started, it wouldn¡¯t really matter whether I wanted to get involved, and you already have a weapon to control me, there¡¯s no need to do more.
But I still didn¡¯t understand why you gave me a little girl.
As Hayward Xavier gradually took control of the situation, I gradually realized what the true purpose of you giving me the little girl was.
You didn¡¯t give me a little girl at all, you gave me yourself.
Thest time I attacked you, you definitely discovered the existence of the Land of Bone. So you calcted to use my sympathy and send your true self to my Land of Bone.
Using your clone to ensnare Hayward Xavier, luring him into the trap, step by step.
I¡¯m pretty sure the tool that could curse Dous Murphy to death was prepared by you.
You knew their rtionship from the very beginning.
You may have had the tool, but youcked the conditions to use it. So, you cleverly gave it to Hayward Xavier, set him up to use it.
Because you understood him, you knew that he would surely kill Dous Murphy once he thought he had the upper hand.
As long as Dous Murphy dies, your objective would be achieved.
Next, you woulde out when I send Doggy Two out to deal with the enemies and secretly kill Hayward Xavier and me, right?¡±
After Dean McKenzie finished speaking, the little girl who was just trembling with fear suddenly smiled: ¡°I actually didn¡¯t trick you?¡±
¡°You¡¯re smarter than I thought!¡±
¡°I thought all the idiots cultivated by Anthony would be fooled for a while!¡±
Dean McKenzie was taken aback: ¡°What did you say?¡±
The little girl, or rather Donald Morgan, grinned, taking out a piece of equipment from her bosom.
Seeing that equipment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but widen in surprise.
He recognized it at a nce. The piece of equipment Donald Morgan took out was the Earth Ring, one of the two pieces of Silver Equipment previously given to Anthony.
Please give me a monthly ticket, I don¡¯t have any reason to add more

Bloody Church¡¯s stronghold.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw Donald Morgan pull out the [Earth Ring] Dean¡¯s head started to buzz.
¡°How did you get this ring?¡±
¡°I was assigned to the Spring City division in my third year after joining the Bloody Church, where I met Anthony.
Anthony was a great help to me during my two years in Spring City.¡±
¡°You? Anthony helped you?¡±
Doubt was clearly written across Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
¡°Exactly, he helped me kill many sacrifices.¡±
¡°Impossible! Absolutely impossible!¡±
Dean McKenzie refused to believe that Anthony would ever do such a thing.
Donald Morgan shed a smile, ¡°Of course, there is no way he would help me kill innocent professionals. But if my targets were wicked, Anthony would spare no effort to assist me.¡±
As Donald Morgan spoke, Dean McKenzie understood and frowned, ¡°You used Anthony!¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t exactly call it using him. Anthony knew what I was doing.
He thought I wasn¡¯t entirely lost because not a single one of my victims were innocent.
He wanted to pull me back into the light and sever my ties with the Bloody Church.¡±
Upon saying this, Donald Morgan¡¯s face was filled with a bitter smile of respect and helplessness, ¡°I knew he meant well, but is there really any light in this dog-eat-dog world?
Ever since my sister¡¯s blood stained me, I¡¯ve been deserving of a thousand deaths.
These sins can never be washed away!
So, after spending two years in Spring City, I left without a word.¡±
¡°And you became the Bloody Church¡¯s prospective saint!¡±
¡°Yes, and that was just the beginning. I will not only be the prospective saint of the Bloody Church, but its saint, and even further, its pope!
I want to take control of this sinful organization and destroy it.
I even wish to¡¡±
As Donald Morgan spoke, he grew more passionate and nearly let out a roar, but he stopped halfway through his speech, reflecting on his actions and returning to a state of calm.
He turned to face Dean McKenzie, ¡°I seem to have spoken a bit too far ahead. Let¡¯s set aside the nonsense and discuss our current ns.¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡®A rescue mission! The one you want to save!¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t ignore his words.
¡°How do you n on making the rescue?¡±
Donald Morgan replied word by word, ¡°The person you want to save is caged nearby, guarded by a fifth-turn bishop from the Bloody Church.
I¡¯ll initiate the Sacrificial Ceremony, which will divert that bishop¡¯s attention.
You distract him while I take him by surprise. If we¡¯re sessful, that would be ideal. If not, webine our efforts, kill him and rescue the individual!¡±
Upon hearing this n, Dean McKenzie was stunned.
After all, this n,pared to Donald Morgan¡¯s scheme towards Hayward Xavier, could be said to be simple and crude.
¡°Is it that simple?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s that simple!
I¡¯ve not interacted with that bishop and he was parachuted here blindly. So, without any understanding, there¡¯s no ground to scheme anything.
Furthermore, under certain circumstances, devious plots are a desperate act, they carry too many uncertain risks.¡±
AS Donald Morgan spoke, he looked at Doggy Two and the others around him, ¡°I never expected you to possess such terrifying power within your Portable Mysterious Realm.
So,pared to plots and schemes, a direct use of force to solve problems is often more straightforward and decisive!¡±
Dean McKenzie eyed the Ring in Donald Morgan¡¯s hand, finally conceding. ¡°Fine!¡±
Then, with a wave of his hand, Dean McKenzie opened the Gate of Bone and let her leave the Land of Bone.
Even though he let her go, Dean McKenzie kept his close watch on Donald Morgan.
Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t fully trust Donald Morgan yet.
Mainly, Dean McKenzie was somewhat intimidated by the other party¡¯s cunning.
Although it seemed that Dean McKenzie had finally outsmarted Donald Morgan and saw through her tricks in the end.
The reality was, Dean McKenzie¡¯s reaction was a few beatste.
He finally discerned the other¡¯s true identity due to the mix of guessing and cunning, with no absolute certainty.
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Appraisal Skill couldn¡¯t differentiate between
Donald Morgan and the little girl.
Without a certain response from the Appraisal Skill, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t dare to make a conclusion. So, if Donald Morgan stubbornly denied her identity Dean McKenzie probably wouldn¡¯t have any solutions.
It was only after Donald Morgan admitted, that Dean McKenzie validated his guesses, gaining a clear understanding of Donald Morgan¡¯s intelligence and cunning.
Dean McKenzie had to admit that, given his current experience, Donald Morgan could easily deceive him.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie initially nned to kill Donald Morgan after identifying her identity.
However, Donald Morgan mentioned Anthony and proposed saving the Mysterious One.
Now, Dean McKenzie had no choice.
He could only restrain his murderous intent.
He could only gamble that Donald Morgan was truly Anthony¡¯s ally and wanted to help rescue the Mysterious One.
However, this gamble was making him uneasy.
¡°No, I must enhance my Appraisal Skill when I get the time.
I can¡¯t allow myself to be blindly led anymore!¡±
Indeed, Dean McKenzie was aware of his limitations. With his intelligence being average at best, and certainly no match for Donald Morgan¡¯s cunning upbringing.???? 6
Thus, if he couldn¡¯t match her in cunning, Dean McKenzie nned to strengthen his abilities.
With a pair of all-seeing eyes, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t fear any cunning tricks thrown his way..

Chapter 186:139 Sacrificial Ceremony_2
Trantor: 549690339
While Dean McKenzie was secretly nning to enhance his Appraisal Skill, on the other side, Donald Morgan, after embarking on his journey, his first activity was going to ¡®his¡¯ side.
Then, something that left Dean McKenzie dumbstruck happened.
He saw the little girl form of Donald Morgan lie upon the adult form of Donald Morgan, merging into one. The wounds on Donald Morgan¡¯s body healed instantly.
The severed limbs were reconnected, and the sword pierced into his heart was pulled out.
¡°Could you do me a favor and move the corpses into the Altar Map?
After all the bodies are inside the Altar Map, I will initiate the Sacrificial Ceremony.
Then you won¡¯t need to do anything, just directly attack the protective shield.
When the target appears, utilize this!¡±
Donald Morgan raised his hand and threw a scroll to Dean McKenzie, who caught it and looked.
Steel Defense (Scroll) (Fifth-turn) (Can resist the attack of a fifth-turn existence for at least 30 minutes)
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie narrowed his eyes.
His trust in Donald Morgan increased by several percentages,
¡°Alright!¡±
Afterward, Dean McKenzie let out Doggy Two and others from the Land of Bone.
Under Doggy Two¡¯smands, they began to move corpses.
Other skeletons obediently set to work, however, uponing out, Old Six from Dean¡¯s family had his Pupil Fire falling on the Promotion Temple. He quickly ran over, and with his little bone hand sping the Promotion Temple, he seemed as if he was going to lift it up.
Seeing the situation, Dean McKenzie was taken aback: ¡°What are you doing? Moving corpses doesn¡¯t mean moving structures. Besides, you should check if you have the strength or not!
This thing, can you lift it up, eh, you really can lift it up!¡±
Before Dean McKenzie could finish his sentences, he saw Old Six with his fragile bone hand lifting the Promotion Temple up.
At the same time, system prompts started appearing.
[Your Wraith Servant [Doggy Six] is activating the Architect profession skill Building Relocation to move the Promotion Temple!]
¡°Well done!
Come, quickly put this thing in the Land of Bone!¡±
Dean McKenzie quickly erged the Gate of Bone to facilitate Old Six¡¯s moving.
Despite Dean McKenzie erging the Gate of Bone to the maximum, the Promotion Temple still couldn¡¯t enter.
It wasn¡¯t because the gate was not big enough, but because Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone was not at a high enough level.
[Please note, your Secret Realm Strength is unable to amodate the Promotion Temple. Forcing it inside may cause your Secret Realm to copse! ] ¡°Damn!¡±
A piece of juicy fatty meat that was almost in his mouth was suddenly gone, both Dean McKenzie and Old Six were quite frustrated.
Thir eyes met.
At that moment, their tacit understanding reached its peak.
Old Six directly turned to look at the other structures of the base, Dean McKenzie immediately called out those third-turn skeletons in the Land of Bone, the Skeleton Demolition Team was online once more.
At the same time, on the other side, Donald Morgan¡¯s altar was ready.
All the corpses were moved in.
After all the bodies were moved in, Donald Morgan sat at the center of the altar, closed his eyes, and began to chant aplex, mysterious, cruel, and bloody curse.
With this curse being chanted,
The altar beneath Donald Morgan lit up, following that, a strong bloody air began to emit from the corpses on the altar.
This bloody air gradually thickened, and quickly turned into a bloody light beam that shot into the sky!
Dean McKenzie saw the situation from Donald Morgan¡¯s side and immediately stopped the demolition work.
Demolition could be done at any time, but if the main event was dyed, it would be toote to regret.
Dean McKenzie in ordance with Donald Morgan¡¯s instructions, directly shot a Bone Spear at the altar.
The result was that when the Bone Spear was shot over, a bloody shield directly blocked the Bone Spear on the altar.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie finally let go of his hand, the Bone Spear in his hand was thrown away, and he ferociously attacked Donald Morgan¡¯s side.
At this moment, Dean McKenziepletely put himself in the role of killing Donald Morgan.
He was in the state of not ceasing until Donald Morgan was killed.
At the same time, in another base nearby, belonging to the Bloody Church.
The middle-aged man who was in charge of watching the mystery person and who had previously captured the mystery person suddenly lifted his head.
¡°Is someone initiating the Sacrificial Ceremony?
¡°The scope of this ceremony is quite significant, as if all the followers from the entire base there were being sacrificed!¡±
This bishop sure is an expert.
From a great distance, just by sensing that power, he could roughly guess the scale of the ceremony.
Not only that, he even perceived some other things.
¡°It seems someone is trying to disrupt this ceremony, let¡¯s go take a look!¡±
As the middle-aged man spoke, a sh of blood glowed on his body, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.
Very quickly, the figure of the middle-aged man appeared out of thin air inside the base of the Bloody Church.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Dean McKenzie ramping up a violent assault against Donald Morgan, who was initiating the ceremony.
Seeing this, he, without hesitation, raised his hand and a huge blood-colored hand struck towards Dean McKenzie.
Upon seeing the blood-colored hand pping over, Dean McKenzie activated the ¡°Steel Defense¡± structure that Donald Morgan had given to him without a moment¡¯s dy.
In an instant, a massive iron coffin enveloped Dean McKenzie, blocking the strike of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
His figure shed, and he came directly in front of the huge coffin.
He tapped lightly on Dean McKenzie¡¯s coffin, squinted his eyes and said, ¡°A fifth-turn scroll? You¡¯re loaded. Even if I wanted to break this, it wouldn¡¯t be easy. Forget it, I won¡¯t waste any effort, as long as you behave.¡±
With that, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at the ceremony.
At that time, the ceremony was shrouded in blood,pletely invisible to the naked eye.
The middle-aged man didn¡¯t mind, he just waited.
In his wait, the glow of the ceremony grew stronger bit by bit, and dimmed a little bit.
The entire process took about thirty minutes.
Suddenly, the blood-colored cover shattered, and the middle-aged man¡¯s mouth raised in a smile, waiting to wee the ones who would emerge after thepletion of the ceremony.
Following that, Donald Morgan walked out from within, paying his respects to the middle-aged man upon emergence: ¡°Bishop Richardson! Thank you for your protection!¡±
¡°You¡¯re wee. Your ability to perform such a ceremony almost assures your position as the Holy Son. It¡¯s my honor to protect you. Please¡¡±
¡°Splurt!¡±
Before the middle-aged man could finish, a blood-colored long sword pierced through his chest.
At the same time, behind the middle-aged man, the figure of Old Eight appeared out of thin air, and his dagger cut open the man¡¯s throats.
Donald Morgan¡¯s surprise attack tactic seemed to be progressing quite smoothly; locked inside an iron coffin, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face lit up at the sight, but soon, Dean McKenzie realized something was wrong, because he started tough. However, the Donald Morgan standing in front of the middle-aged man did notugh, instead his face was very somber.
Dean McKenzie instantly realized something was wrong.
As expected, the next second, the middle-aged man who was sandwiched and attacked by Donald Morgan and Old Eight instantly turned into a pool of blood on the floor.
Then, the voice of the middle-aged man rang out on the side again.
¡°Holy Son, you were able to take down Dous Murphy and use all the followers in the base as sacrifices toplete the ceremony, showcasing your resourcefulness and cunning.
But why, you chose to disregard me? Do you not want to put in a bit more effort?
This simple calction, do you think I wouldn¡¯t see through it? Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re looking down on me, ine Richardson, a bit too much?¡±
In the middle of his talk, this middle-aged man named ine Richardson raised his hand, and another blood-colored palm was headed towards Donald Morgan and Old Eight.
Old Eight reacted quickly, dodging this move with a powerful stealth that granted two seconds of immunity.
Donald Morgan, however, seemed to react a little slowly, and was caught straight on.
With a ¡°splurt¡± sound, Donald Morgan was blown apart.
Both Dean McKenzie and ine Richardson were stunned.
It would seem they never expected Donald Morgan was so weak.
Just as Donald Morgan was blown apart, the altar which had just dimmed suddenly lit up again. ine Richardson, who was momentarily bewildered, quickly snapped back, his face drastically changing.
¡°The ceremony isn¡¯t over yet? Damn! You tricked me!¡±
ine Richardson¡¯s face changed dramatically, turning around instinctively in an attempt to flee, but it was toote. A terrifying apparition behind him opened its eyes.
¡°Splurt!¡±
Both ine Richardson and the Donald Morgan inside the altar spat out a mouthful of fresh blood at the same time!

Bloody Church headquarters.
¡°St!¡±
Donald Morgan and the middle-aged man known as ine Richardson spat blood simultaneously, a shocking sight that left Dean McKenzie aghast.
However, Dean reacted swiftly.
Although he did not know what Donald had done, it would soon be his turn to shine.
To ensure safety, Dean cast Appraisal Skill on ine Richardson first.
[You have sessfully used Appraisal Skill on[ine Richardson], revealing the target¡¯s attributes.]
Name: ine Richardson
Temte: Rare
Level: 109
Status: After interrupting the ceremony of an evil god, was gravely injured by the god¡¯s bacsh, only one percent of original strength remains!
Dean¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw this attribute.
Only one percent of original strength remains. Isn¡¯t this utterly a severely wounded enemy, ripe for the picking?
Dean raised his hand, casting three spells in session.
[SlowCurse][Lower Resistance][Vision Deprivation]
At the same time, he waved his hand to open the Gate of Bone, and Doggy Two led forth with a surge of Fourth-turn Skeletons, bearing down on ine Richardson, preparing to take this severely injured enemy¡¯s head.
Dean¡¯s actions angered the middle-aged man.
¡°How dare a mere Third-turn worm like youy a hand on me?¡±
¡°Yes, I was sneakily attacked and gravely weakened. But that does not mean you¡¯ve grown any stronger!
Begone!¡±
ine Richardson roared angrily, a blood-red hand manifested out of thin air, sweeping toward Doggy Two and the skeletons.
Doggy Two sensed the danger, its Pupil Fire red as it slowed down and retreated behind the other skeletons, allowing those average Fourth-tum Skeleton Soldiers to be the vanguard.
¡°Crack, crack,crack!¡±
A series of bone-shattering sounds echoed as the blood-red hand passed, all 45 of Dean¡¯s ordinary Fourth-turn Skeletons were annihted.
This made Dean frown heavily.
You must know, after reaching the Fourth-turn, the strength of his skeletons had undergone a tremendous change.
Name: Incredible Pale Skeleton
Temte: Ordinary
Level: 81
Traits: Intermediate (Reduces the attacks of lower-ranked professionals by 80%, dealing 80% additional damage to lower-ranked professionals.)
Attributes:
Strength: 450, Agility: 270, Physique: 270
Attack: 1850
Defense: 635
Spirit Power: 15000
These are the attributes of Dean¡¯s summoned ordinary skeletons.
Just by increasing their Level by 1, their overall attributes have tripled.
Combined with Dean¡¯s ¡°Skeleton Dominance¡± that adds a further 50% to all attributes, as well as 500 attack and defense points.
Dean¡¯s ordinary skeletons have be quite formidable.
In fact, thanks to the attribute ¡°Intermediate,¡± they could evenpete with Third-turn enemies.
However, in the face of ine Richardson, they appeared insignificant.
They were wiped out in a single move.
Fortunately, Dean did not count on these ordinary skeletons to aplish much.
As these skeletons shattered, a soft ¡°plop¡± echoed.
A skeleton archer, who had somehow positioned itself next to Dean, wielding an exaggeratedly designed bronze crossbow, fired a shot at ine Richardson.
It was Old Nine from Dean¡¯s troops!
If ordinary skeletons¡¯ powers increased dramatically after reaching the Fourth-turn, suffice to say Old Nine, one of the rare quality skeletons under Dean¡¯smand, performed even more exceptionally.
Name: Bronze Crossbowman (Old Nine)

Third-turn: Bone Crossbow, Bronze (Level 1)
Equipment carried: Bronze Bone Crossbow (Bronze) (Level 81)
These are Old Nine¡¯s current attributes. Aplete overhaul from its previous status, boasting a base damage of thirty-seven thousand.
Dean spent a long time thinking about how this damage value was derived.
Heter calcted that it was exactly equal to his agility plus strength multiplied by 1.5, and then by 5.
Dean took a guess and thought it should be somewhat like this.
This improvement waspletely illogical.
At this moment, Old Nine was notunching a regr attack.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) activates the Third-turn skill[Bronze Bone Crossbow]!]
[Bronze Bone Crossbow, consumes 10 thousand Spirit Power, fires a crossbow attack that inflicts damage equal to (Agility plus Spiritual Power plus Attack Power times 10)!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) inflicted damage, triggered[Lucky Crossbow]effect, this time the damage multiplier is 0.5]
Instantly, Old Nineunched an attack with a damage value of 220 thousand.
This attack, if it were not for the ¡°Intermediate¡± trait, would not be any stronger than Dean¡¯s Bone Fang.
The only advantage it had over Dean¡¯s Bone Fang was its incredibly high attack speed.
The moment the sound echoed, the attack hit ine Richardson.
But it had no impact whatsoever,pletely negated by the blood-colored glow radiating from ine Richardson.
Fortunately, Dean had not originally put his hopes on Old Nine.
At the same time Old Nineunched its attack, Doggy Two seized the opportunity and charged forward.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) activates the skill [Bone Eruption]!]
Upon activation, Doggy Two¡¯s properties exploded instantly.
The moment its attributes skyrocketed, they reached a degree of terror.
The disparity between a Fourth-turn and a Third-turn was significant.
Normal advancement would increase all attributes by three times.
Chapter 188:140 Kill-stealing, Gold Suit 2
Chapter 188:140 Kill-stealing, Gold Suit 2
Trantor: 549690339
Difficult profession advancement amplifies all attributes by 4 times.
For Doggy Two and others, they directly achieve a 5 times increase in nightmare mode.
After reaching level 81, Doggy Two¡¯s basic attributes be: Strength: 9018, Agility: 3994.5, Physique: 2554.5, Spirit: 2554.5 Attack: 67635
Defense: 19155
Spirit Power: 37.5
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s [Skeleton Control] effect, the attributes increase to: Strength: 10018, Agility: 4994.5, Physique: 3554.5, Spirit: 3554.5 Attack: 68135
Defense: 19655
Spirit Power: 37.5.
Yeah, it didn¡¯t increase by fifty percent because [Skeleton Control] is a standard third-turn skill, and its enhancement has a limit.
A single attribute increment of 1000 is already the upper limit.
However, even though Skeleton Control has a limit, [Bone Eruption] does not, as it is indeed an enhancement skill.
So, when Doggy Two triggers [Bone Eruption], attributes increase by 2.5 times, plus Doggy Two¡¯s own King of Bones with an 100% increase.
When Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Eruption is triggered, the attributes elevate to an extremely exaggerated level.
The terrifying aura bursting from his body even makes ine Richardson¡¯s face change.
He clearly realizes that the strength Doggy Two currently enhances has far surpassed the fourth-turn, even reaching the threshold of the fifth-turn.
Go!
Must go!
The middle-aged man realizes that he absolutely cannot contest with Doggv Two. S6y
Staying any longer would mean death.
But it s toote for him to escape now.
Arge hand engulfed in Netherworld mes reaches out; that¡¯s Old Six.
With a swipe, he grabs ine Richardson tightly, leaving him no chance to escape.
Doggy Two takes the opportunity to rush up, raising the 81-level Gold Weapon ¨C Dragon Bone Sword, in his hand, and delivers a Heavy Destruction strike.
A damage exceeding 2 million burst out instantly.
A force concentrated on a single sword andnded on a person.
You get the idea?
It¡¯s basically like using a hydraulic machine to hit an ant.
In an instant, ine Richardson¡¯s body is blown up.
But the fifth-turn existence is still terrifying. Although it was heavily damaged in the ritual, it didn¡¯t die immediately after being hit by Doggy Two.
Instead, he turned into a blood light and escaped beyond the rally point.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie was about to take out the [Holy Light Cross] in his arms when Old Nine made another move.
Two system prompts refreshed simultaneously.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) uses skill [Bone Crossbow ¨C Bronze]!] [Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) deals damage, triggers [Lucky Crossbow], this time damage multiplier is 9!]
Immediately after, the crossbow bolt fired by Old Nine transforms into a stream of light and directly prates through the fleeing ine Richardson. The damage of this strike is even more exaggerated than Doggy Two¡¯s full-force explosion, delivering millions of damage in a single blow. Not to mention the heavily damaged ine Richardson, even ine Richardson in his prime would have to avoid its sharpness.
[You sessfully killed ine Richardson (Rare) (109 levels), your level increased to level 73!]
Hearing this system prompt, Dean McKenzie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he managed to finish off the target.
Then, Donald Morgan¡¯s feeble voice rang out.
¡°So, please, toss that corpse over here, I need him!¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
Dean McKenzie, without saying a word, sagged a bit when ine Richardson was extracted and his corpse was examined.
Actually, there wasn¡¯t much to examine.
In the aftermath of that battle, ine Richardson¡¯s corpse was virtually demolished.
The items on him were severely damaged.
Only a ring remained intact on him. Dean McKenzie quickly nabbed the ring, and tossed the corpse into the altar area.
Then, the altar on Donald Morgan¡¯s side began running again.
This time, there was no blood light enveloping it, Dean McKenzie could clearly
see that m the altar, all the corpses were gradually dissolving.
At the same time, an eerie and unmatched drop of fresh blood was gradually condensing above Donald Morgan¡¯s head.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie took the opportunity to release the skeletons, allowing Old Six to continue the demolition work while he reviewed the recent battle.
As he recapitted the fight, Dean McKenzie felt mixed emotions.
The battle made Dean McKenzie realize.
The huge amount of money he invested and all the skills he nurtured at the early stage seemed to be wasted.
At present, if the opponent is in the third-turn, it goes without saying, no matter what third-turn existence it is, a Bone Fang can carry it away from Dean McKenzie, the worst case scenario having to add in a [Slow Curse],
But if the opponent is in the fourth-turn, Dean McKenzie felt somewhat stifled.
Dean McKenzie estimated that his currentbat power, at most, is equivalent to the fourth-turn of an excellent temte.
That¡¯s why a clever person like Hayward Xavier would be careless.
It¡¯s not that he¡¯s careless, but rather the gap between the third-turn and fourth-turn is simply too vast.
Not only is there an [Intermediate] trait, the sess of the profession advancement would result in a starting increase of 3 times in all attributes.
This unbelievable increase doesn¡¯t give a third-turn professional a chance to leap and y.
¡°Hmm, this is a bad thing, but also a good thing, although it¡¯s a bit harder for me to face a fourth-turn now, but once I change to the fourth-turn, then the increase will be terrifying!¡±
Dean McKenzie just thought about his current attributes, then multiplied it by
The resulting attributes were so exaggerated that even Dean McKenzie himself felt it was too much.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie is only finding it a bit challenging to face a fourth-turn opponent now, but he doesn¡¯t have to face a fourth-turn target alone!

He would find it difficult alone, but with help from Doggy Two and Old Eight, it would be effortless.
After all, even though he is currently Three-turn, his dogs are all Four-turn, their powers have undergone a tremendous enhancement.
Doggy Two and the rest are also part of Dean McKenzie¡¯s fighting force!
Dean McKenzie still has hundreds of Excellent Temtes and dozens of Rare Temtes at his disposal.
If he wants to, he can easily summon hundreds of Four-turn Excellent attacks and dozens of Three-turn Rare attacks.
What does it mean to be an army of one?
Dean McKenzie is an army of one!
He still has a pretty clear idea of his role.
Soon, Dean McKenzie had finished reviewing his situation. He straightened out his mindset, ¡°Anyway, right now, at this stage, my personal strength is a bit inadequate, but my dogs¡¯ strength has improved.
So, in the period before I be Four-turn, the dogs will be the absolute core of the battle.
In the next battle, I need to position myself in a supportive role.
Boost the fighting power of the dogs, then make sure I don¡¯t cause them any trouble and let them do the fighting!¡±
After review, Dean McKenzie shifted his attention elsewhere.
Specifically, to the benefits.
It is undeniable that after Skeleton Four-turn, the efficiency was impressive.
In less than half an hour, Dean McKenzie had cleared the whole base.
Old Two, Old Six, and Old Eight divided the tasks clearly.
Old Two was in charge of the overall demolition.
Old Six was in charge of checking and storing building materials, and Old Eight did Dean McKenzie¡¯s favourite job: taking stock of the spoils.
Old Eight enjoyed doing this, with its over 4000 points of Agility working at full strength.
In less than half an hour, it had consolidated all the spoils for Dean McKenzie.
The base alone yielded a whopping 170,000 Gold Coins.
There were also countless potions, tools, equipment, and the like.
A Gold quality suit was taken off Hayward Xavier by Old Eight.
Blood Assassin Suit (Gold)
Equipment Requirement: Level 80
Effect 1: Increases Agility, Strength and Attack by 1.3 times, plus 15,000 fixed attack
Effect 2: Assassin skill level +1
Effect 3: Comes with 30% lifesteal, can absorb enemy¡¯s blood to recover from injuries
When Old Eight brought this equipment to Dean McKenzie, its Pupil Fire flickered like a puppy¡¯s tail, watching Dean McKenzie eagerly.
¡°Stop looking, it¡¯s yours!¡±
After all, there¡¯s only one Assassin in Dean McKenzie¡¯s team, if not him, then who?
Other than the suit, there are five other items that catch Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention.
One is a ring obtained from ine Richardson, one is a door simr to the Gate of Bone obtained from Dous Murphy, and one is a scroll.
Dean McKenzie nced at them, the properties of the five items appearing before his eyes.

That Quest Scroll was obviously a bribe from Donald Morgan to Dous Murphy.
This item is something even a Fifth-turn would covet. However, for Dean McKenzie at this moment, it¡¯s too premature to consider, so he stowed it away for now.
Apart from that, the remaining four things were all great stuff.
One of the items, a Damaged Mysterious Door, could be used to upgrade the Land of Bone.
This came just in time to resolve Dean McKenzie¡¯s urgent need.
In fact, since Dean McKenzie¡¯s third-turn, the Land of Bone was no longer sufficient.
Previously, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone could hold a peak of 9000 Skeleton troops, but now only 50 Fourth-turn Skeletons could exist there; having one more was not possible.
Certainly, it was not enough for Dean McKenzie.
Luckily, he now had this item. When he had time, Dean McKenzie could upgrade the level of the Land of Bone.
However, currently, he must first save the mysterious person.
Thus, Dean McKenzie nced at Donald Morgan, who was still performing the ceremony, refocused on his loot, and immediately activated the two fourth-turn Skill Stones in his hand.
For others, opening a skill stone may cause some anxiety, as the result is random, and the skill might be useless.
But Dean McKenzie had no such concern.
After all, hemanded dozens of Skeletons under his banner, whatever skill he obtained, he could utilize it entirely!
[You have used a skill stone, you¡¯ve gained skill: Fearless Charge!]
Skill: Fearless Charge (Fourth-turn)
Study conditions: Knight, Fourth-turn, Strength 2000, Physique 2000, Agility 2000, Spirit 1000
¡°Damn, out of all the types of Skeletons I have, you had to give me a skill for one I don¡¯t have yet!¡±
Dean McKenzie was frustrated.
Fortunately, a knight for Dean McKenzie¡¯s was on the way, so this skill wouldn¡¯t be stowed away for long.
Dean McKenzie stored the skill away and moved on to open thest Skill Stone.
[You have used a skill stone, you¡¯ve gained skill: Guardian Shield!]
Skill: Guardian Shield
Study conditions: Shield Warrior, Fourth-turn, Physique 3000
Finally, a skill that Dean McKenzie could use immediately was revealed.
Dean McKenzie immediately gave this skill to Old Four.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) sessfully learned the skill: Guardian Shield!]
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn)
Level: 1
Cost: 30,000 Spirit Power
Effect: After activation, the Guardian Shield can be opened, linking to one unit, transferring the damage received by them to oneself.
Passively increases personal Physique by 20 times, offsets 30% of damage
Dean McKenzie examined the skill introduction of the Guardian Shield, his eyes narrowing in contemtion.
¡°So this is what a Fourth-turn skill is like?
The starting multiplier is 20 times!
Combining it with the skills I currently possess, I can roughly determine.
Basic skills should be between 1 and 5 times, First-turn skills are between 3 and 10 times, Second-turn skills range from 10 to 15 times, Third-turn is between 15 and 20 times.
Fourth-turn is over 20 times.
Of course, these are all base multiples, enhancement would definitely raise the upper limit!¡±
Old Four¡¯s skill allowed Dean McKenzie to gain a deeper understanding of Fourth-turn skills.
It also made him realize that turning basic skills into godlike skills might not be out of reach, but it would be difficult, at least for his current third level talents.
But if the Talent Level could be raised, then all bets were off.
¡°If we follow the setup of the fourth and third turns, the fourth level talent should also undergo a transformation.
The effect of the talent should be able to have a drastic growth. I need to speed up the enhancement of this talent.¡±
While saying this, Dean McKeinze yed with the ring possessing four locked effects in his hand.
This thing had no requirement for recognition, and Dean McKenzie could look at it the moment he put it on.
Having the ring in his hand, he wore it immediately, eagerly opening the ring¡¯s storage space.
After all, the contents could potentially contain the entire fortune of a Fifth-turn powerhouse, which was something Dean McKenzie was looking forward to.
However, once Dean McKenzie opened the storage space of the ring, his expression fell.
Mostly because the items within fell far short of his expectations.
There weren¡¯t many items inside, just about ten thousand Gold Coins. The rest consisted of some sundries and misceny. As for equipment and tools, there was very little to speak of.
¡°Seriously, a Fifth-turn powerhouse is this poor?¡±
Dean McKenzie was puzzled when the system prompt refreshed.
[Detected Golden Equipment [Wizard¡¯s Bachelor Hat] on your person, would you like to use it to repair the [Mysterious and Damaged Ring]?
As this system prompt refreshed, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes squinted.
¡°I think I might know why this guy is so poor!¡±
Soon after, Dean McKenzie conducted a test with a piece of Silver Equipment and finally confirmed why that person was that poor.
Undoubtedly, all his money and equipment had been invested into this [Mysterious and Damaged Ring],
Just by looking at the property introduction of this ring, you would know it was umon.
Anyone could augment it by feeding it ordinary equipment, no one would hesitate to do so.
However, after Dean McKenzie experimented by feeding it two pieces of Silver Equipment and seeing almost no progress, he gave up on enhancing this thing.
¡°What the hell is this? When I fed it a Silver Equipment it didn¡¯t even make a ripple, not a single ssh. If I have this much money, wouldn¡¯t it be better to enhance my skills and my Skeletons? They are still waiting for me to enhance them!¡±
Dean McKenzie directly stowed this thing away..

Chapter 191:141 Mysterious organization behind Donald Morgan_2
Trantor: 549690339
After dealing with this, Dean McKenzie had essentially finished tallying up his gains.
When he nced at Donald Morgan, he saw that their own ritual was entering its final stage, so Dean McKenzie did nothing and just quietly waited for the conclusion, clutching the Holy Light Cross in his hand.
Five minutester, the scarlet glow converged.
Donald Morgan opened his eyes from within the altar, and all the corpses surrounding him turned into ash.
The ritual had ended, and Donald Morgan stepped out of it.
The Donald Morgan who came out didn¡¯t appear different from before, but when their eyes met, Dean McKenzie felt as if he were gazing into an enormous, bloody ocean, almost losing himself in its depths.
If it weren¡¯t for Donald Morgan closing his eyes and for Dean McKenzie having the trait of Mental Fortitude, he would probably need a lifetime to recover from that single gaze alone.
Clearly, Donald Morgan¡¯s strength had experienced a terrifying enhancement after this ritual.
Dean McKenzie felt that even if he exhausted all of his moves, he might not be able to defeat Donald Morgan, let alone escape.
¡°I apologize. I just finished the ritual and had some difficulties in controlling my strength,¡±
said Donald Morgan, who had closed his eyes, to Dean McKenzie.
His voice sounded very strange. It had Donald Morgan¡¯s low, bloody tone and a little girl¡¯s innocently cheerful inflection.
But it quickly returned to normal, finally bing entirely Donald Morgan¡¯s voice.
Donald Morgan, eyes still shut, looked around the ruined stronghold and said without borating, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have people to save!¡±
Having said that, Donald Morgan turned to leave the stronghold, and Dean McKenzie hesitated for a moment before following.
Following Donald Morgan¡¯s pace, Dean McKenzie quickly arrived in another underground cave.
Over there, Dean McKenzie saw a small prison made of bloody stones. Inside the prison was a mysterious figure cloaked in a ck cape. They were sitting there quietly.
Alerted by the arrival of new people, the mysterious figure raised their head. Upon seeing Dean McKenzie and Donald Morgan with shut eyes, the mysterious figure looked visibly taken aback.
¡°How did the two of you end up together?¡±
Upon seeing the mysterious figure, Dean McKenzie let out a sigh of relief and noticeably rxed. He held out his hands in a helpless gesture and said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me, I have no idea. He said he works for Anthony, and it was his design that killed the guy who was watching over you. He brought me here.¡±
The mysterious figure turned to look at Donald Morgan.
Although their face was concealed under a ck hood, Dean McKenzie could still sense their frowning and scrutinizing gaze.
They seemed to not know about this.
And didn¡¯t fully trust Donald Morgan.
Donald Morgan, however, didn¡¯t mind. He turned to Dean McKenzie and said, ¡°You hold his ring; look to see if there¡¯s a bloody key.¡±
¡°A bloody key?¡±
Dean McKenzie was taken aback. He brought out the ring and rummaged through it, ¡°Found it!¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie approached with the key and opened the blood-red prison door.
After the bloody prison was unlocked, the mysterious figure seemed to be slightly less on edge with Donald Morgan, but only slightly.
They were still wary. After all, their current condition wasn¡¯t great, and their Spirit Power was still being controlled.
Donald Morgan seemed to be very clear about the mysterious figure¡¯s state and continued, ¡°The restraints on your body were imposed by ine Richardson. They¡¯ll gradually fade with her death.¡±
Hearing this, the mysterious figure gauged their own state.
Soon after, with a wave of their hand, a ck crystal appeared in their hand once more.
Piece by piece, the crystal shattered in the grasp of their hand, and the aura of the mysterious figure visibly grew stronger.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie knew there likely wouldn¡¯t be much trouble with the mysterious figure anymore.
Meanwhile, Donald Morgan¡¯s gaze had fallen on Dean McKenzie as he asked, ¡°Dean McKenzie, what are your ns next?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Dean McKenzie was taken aback. ¡°What ns?¡±
¡°The Professional Alliance¡¯s bounty on you hasn¡¯t been revoked yet, so Bounty Hunters will continue to target you.
Even though you¡¯re now strong enough to not fear Fourth-turns, if you¡¯re too high-profile, the Alliance may upgrade your bounty level from Level 4.
Moreover, the resources for maps of this world are generally controlled by the Alliance and various forces.
Now that you¡¯ve left the Alliance, to put it bluntly, even levelling up will be difficult!¡±
Donald Morgan said each word, pointing out Dean McKenzie¡¯s current predicament.
This left Dean McKenzie somewhat flummoxed.
Everything had happened so suddenly. The moment he left the Secret Realm, he was hunted down, and then he was on the run until he arrived at the Dragon Pce Ruins.
Finally escaping from the ruins, Dean McKenzie was focussed entirely on saving people and hadn¡¯t put any thought into the future. Donald Morgan¡¯s question had left him at a loss for words.
At this point, the mysterious figure next to them opened their eyes.
¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that, his growth cannot be hindered!¡±
The mysterious man¡¯s tone was distant, clearly still cautious of Donald
Morgan, who also had no reservation about responding to the sudden interjection, ¡°When you say there will be no dy, you mean up until his fifth-turn, right?
After all, your strength is only at the fifth-turn level. What about after that?¡±
¡°You!¡±
¡°Also, when I mention the future, I mean more than just improving one¡¯s strength!¡±
As Donald Morgan spoke, he turned to look at Dean McKenzie, ¡°Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?
What kind of professional do you want to be? Do you have a dream that is unique to you?
A dream that you¡¯re willing to strive for your entire life, even if it means sacrificing your own life?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Dean McKenzie was having trouble keeping up with Donald Morgan¡¯s pace.
He had no idea how Donald suddenly switched the topic from mundane life to profound and inspirational thoughts.
Donald Morgan wasn¡¯t surprised by Dean McKenzie¡¯s confusion. In fact, he probably never expected him to answer right away. ¡°You may not have one right now, but I do. Let me tell you about our dreams!
We want to change this damned world, save this damned world!¡±
¡°Ha!!!¡±
Listening to what Donald Morgan said, Dean McKenzie¡¯s expression was that of an elderly person on a subway watching a smartphone.
He felt like Donald Morgan¡¯s words were getting crazier and crazier.
Changing the world and saving the world? Was he actually able to say something so awkward with a straight face?
Wouldn¡¯t he feel embarrassed?
But Dean really couldn¡¯t detect any embarrassment on Donald¡¯s face.
He appeared quite steadfast when uttering those words. Seeing Donald¡¯s resolute face and recalling what Donald had told him about his past, Dean¡¯s expressions grew more serious.
Because Dean gradually realized that Donald was serious.
However, the mysterious person on the side scoffed at Donald¡¯s words.
¡°Save the world? Just by you?
A tiny fourth-turn fry, is it your turn to save the world?¡±
¡°Strength is not the only measure of a person. A powerful person who only seeks afortable life for himself, willing to pay any price, bow down and beg the strong like a dog, is nothing but a powerful coward.
A person insignificant as a speck of dust, as long as they have the courage to fight against destiny, is a truly powerful person!¡±
¡°So you think you¡¯re brave, huh!¡±
The mysterious figure said in a weird tone.
Donald Morgan nodded frankly: ¡°At least,pared to those in the
Professional Alliance, we are!¡±
Donald¡¯s words left the mysterious person speechless.
As much as they disliked it, they had to admit that the people in the Professional Alliance were truly worthless.
After Donald finished confronting the mysterious person, he turned to Dean again, sincerely inviting him, ¡°Dean, I hope you can join us!¡±
As he spoke, Donald stretched out his hand and presented a token to Dean.
Dean looked at the t token and furrowed his brows, ¡°You all?
What kind of organization are you in?
Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s the Bloody Church?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t reveal too much about our organization before you agree to join.
However, I can tell you this: Anthony is our guide!¡±
¡°What?¡±
Dean was stupefied, his face full of disbelief.
On the side, the mysterious person waved dismissively: ¡°It¡¯s impossible¡ absolutely impossible. With how his mind is now, there¡¯ s no way he could lead any organization!¡±
¡°It¡¯s true indeed, though he doesn¡¯t know about the existence of our organization, within our team, he is definitely regarded as our guide!¡±
Both Dean and the mysterious person were dumbfounded.
What kind of maneuver was this?
Could someone be recruited in such an arbitrary manner?
Even Donald thought it was absurd, but heughed and exined, ¡°Because our organization¡¯s members, more or less, had their destinies changed by Anthony!
And we have all drawn strength that grounded our souls from him.¡±

Donald Morgan left.
After leaving behind that token, he departed under the intimidating gaze of the mysterious person.
Before leaving, Donald Morgan told Dean McKenzie, ¡°If one day, you also desire to make a change in this damned world like us, we wee your participation. All you need to do is infuse your mana into the token!¡±
After Donald Morgan left, Dean was holding the token.
He couldn¡¯t help remembering the catastrophic scene in the cave from yesterday, causing his heart to tremble.
However, before Dean could think further, a pnded on the back of his head.
¡°What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?
I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t get involved with these people.
They are very dangerous!¡±
¡°Dangerous?¡±
¡°Yes, they are dangerous in every possible sense.
If you want to live longer, it¡¯s best not to get involved with them!
I¡¯ll keep this thing for you!¡±
The mysterious person tried to take the token from Dean¡¯s hand, but Dean instinctively turned his hand and tucked the token away.
¡°What are you trying to do? Do you really want to join them?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s just that¡¡±
Dean stuttered, not knowing what to say.
¡°Alright, no need to exin, there are some things that can¡¯t be stopped. Do whatever you want from now on. But we need to leave here first. I haven¡¯t fully recovered yet, and I won¡¯t be able to handle it if someone else shows up!¡±
¡°Please wait a moment!¡±
Instead of immediately leaving, Dean turned around to set Doggy Two and the others free, letting them dismantle the blood-coloured cage that had held the mysterious person captive.
As they were doing so, the mysterious person watched them, his pupils instinctively contracting.
He looked at Dean in shock.
How much time had passed?
The skeletons under Dean¡¯smand had grown significantly, all reaching the Fourth-turn stage, which was terrifying.
¡°It seems you¡¯ve gained a lot from the Dragon Pce Ruins!¡±
¡°You remind me that I almost forgot!¡±
Dean pulled out the Dragon Pce Token and handed it to the mysterious person, ¡°Here you go!¡±
¡°What for?¡±
Seeing the Dragon Pce Token, the mysterious person was somewhat stunned.
¡°This is yours. You used it to save me before, so now it should be returned to its rightful owner!¡±
¡°Having entered the Dragon Pce Ruins and seeing your growth in strength, you should understand the value of this item. Are you sure you want to give it to me?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve already used it to save my life, if I keep it, it would be too greedy!¡±
Even though Dean coveted the item, he had his limits.
He wouldn¡¯t take what wasn¡¯t rightfully his.
The mysterious person was taken aback, looking at Dean as if seeing him for the first time, ¡°It seems you¡¯ve been deeply influenced by Ennis Hawkins, otherwise you wouldn¡¯ t do this.
But since it should be returned to its rightful owner, you don¡¯t have to give it to me. Give it to Ennis Hawkins, it¡¯s his!¡±
¡°I¡¯m well aware of Anthony¡¯s financial situation. He¡¯s poverty-stricken. How could he possibly own such a thing!¡±
¡°If I say it¡¯s his, it¡¯s his. Just hold onto it for me!¡±
Dean raised an eyebrow, about to say something else.
¡°Bang!¡±
A rumble suddenly sounded, cutting him off.
¡°Something¡¯s happening!¡±
Dean and the mysterious person quickly reacted. Just as Doggy Two and the others had almost finished dismantling the blood cage, Dean sent the skeletons back to the Land of Bone and left the underground cavern with the mysterious person.
Not long after they emerged, Dean saw a sted opening.
Undoubtedly, that rumbling sound just now hade from here.
Dean and the mysterious person exchanged a nce. Dean¡¯s scout reported back with information¡ªthe st was located opposite the cavern where Dean had been held captive the night before.
Upon hearing this, Dean immediately entered the cavern.
Upon entering, Dean recognized it, ¡°It¡¯s indeed the cave from yesterday. Oh, those people are still there!¡±
Dean¡¯s eyes were drawn to the cells almost instantly.
To his surprise, the cells and the people were still there.
Seeing this, Dean was stunned.
Then he made a decision.
¡°I¡¯m going to rescue them!¡±
Dean had even guessed how the sound was made. It was undoubtedly Donald Morgan¡¯s doing.
He wanted to lead Dean to this group of people, and then use Dean¡¯s Land of Bone to save them.
Dean knew Donald Morgan was using him, but he was more than willing to be used in this way!
The mysterious person didn¡¯t say anything.
She didn¡¯t bother to protest. Knowing Dean was deeply influenced by Ennis Hawkins, whatever she said would be in vain if he decided to save the people. Moreover, saving this group was not a hard task.
And she didn¡¯t really mind rescuing these unfortunate souls.
The mysterious person nodded, and Dean quickly swung into action.
He quickly instructed Doggy Two and the others to break open the cages and send the people into the Land of Bone.
What saddened Dean was that these people didn¡¯t resist at all, they had already numbed to their situation.
After swiftly sending these people to the Land of Bone, Dean removed everything he could from the cavern, and then set it alight.
After finishing all this, Dean left the cavern with the mysterious person.
As he left, he also split his attention to oversee the people he had sent into the Land of Bone.
He sent them the food he had obtained from the Storm Barracks and provided them with water.
When the food and drink arrived,
those numb people gradually came back to life.
They scrambled for the food and fought over the water like wild animals, even resorting to fists.

Chapter 193:142 Dark Mist Fortune-teller_2
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, readying himself to step in.
But he noticed that as more and more food and water were delivered,
The crowd gradually calmed down after each person received food and water.
Once they managed to eat and drink, many began to weep uncontrobly, their cries painful to hear.
Watching the whole scene, Dean McKenzie felt a lump in his throat.
The mysterious person beside him was also observing him, noticing his mood fall. He knew it was due to the distressing sight of the people in the Land of Bone.
He knew it perfectly well.
Dean McKenzie,ing from the dreamy paradise of Spring City, was hit by the harsh reality and darkness of this new world.
The mysterious person knew he had to guide him appropriately.
Otherwise, Dean McKenzie might dwell on the suffering.
So the mysterious person pped Dean McKenzie on the shoulder and said, ¡°Kid, stop looking. These people have been saved.
¡°They¡¯ve escaped the bitter sea. Next, we just need to find a city operated by the
Alliance to settle them down, and they can start their lives anew!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Dean McKenzie nodded in agreement.
After all, most people inside weremoners and low-level professionals.
They could stay in the Land of Bone for a short while, but couldn¡¯t reside there long term.
After all, the Land of Bone was the Land of the Wraith, and they weren¡¯t Dark Professionals. Staying too long would only harm their bodies without any benefits!
Following this, Dean McKenzie and the mysterious person quickly left the underground melt hole.
Upon emerging, they roughly figured out their location, discovering they were well within the domain of Rock Dragon City.
The mysterious person suggested they leave the people near Rock Dragon City.
Dean McKenzie rejected this suggestion.
The reason was simple.
These people were captured in Rock Dragon City, so the local Professional Alliance would undoubtedly shoulder a fair amount of me.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie andpany had eliminated a stronghold of the Bloody Church, including two Fifth-turn professionals.
Creating such a disturbance, the Bloody Church wouldn¡¯t stay still.
Dean McKenzie feared that if they were dropped in Rock Dragon City, they might fall into the hands of the Bloody Church again.
So, Dean McKenzie and the mystery person decided to head west along the coastline.
The two of them traveled day and night and reached Rouge from Anta in just three days.
Upon entering Rouge, the chances of Dean McKenzie being hunted dropped significantly.
After all, his previous bounty only applied in Anta. Even though it didn¡¯t lose its effect entirely upon leaving Anta, it certainly wasn¡¯t as relentless as before.
Of course, Dean McKenzie and hispanion didn¡¯t encounter any pursuit during these three days of their journey.
One reason was that a few months had passed since the event, lowering its heat.
Another reason was the presence of the mysterious person. During these days, Dean McKenzie found out the profession of the mysterious person.
Dark Mist Fortune ¨C teller!
He also managed to learn her name ¨C well, she asked him to call her Mrs. Hawkins!
Mrs. Hawkins informed Dean McKenzie that her profession allowed her to divine destiny and also to hide it.
She even boasted proudly that the destiny she concealed couldn¡¯t be detected by even a Fifth-turn or a Six-turn.
While she was saying this, Dean McKenzie was praising her, his face full of admiration.
However, within his mind, he couldn¡¯t help but recall his near capture by Bruce Hodge as soon as he fled Spring City.
Mrs. Hawkins noticed what Dean McKenzie was thinking and defended herself saying: ¡°That was an ident!¡±
¡°Otherwise, you tell me, have we had any issues these days¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Hawkins¡¯s face changed, and a ck crystal ball appeared in her hand. With a gentle squeeze, the crystal shattered. ¡°All sorted, I told you there¡¯s nothing to worry about!¡±
Looking at the insistent Mrs. Hawkins, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know what to say.
She had done this many times during these three days. It was apparent that it wasn¡¯t that they hadn¡¯t been pursued, but that Mrs. Hawkins had been blocking them.
¡°Once we deal with this wave, we should bepletely safe.¡±
ckwater City is not far ahead. Leave the people outside, then head into the city for a bit of rest.¡±
¡°Hmm? Just me?¡±
Dean McKenzie perked up at Mrs. Hawkins¡¯ words. ¡°Are you noting with me?¡±
¡°I have something to deal with on my end, and have to step out. Here, take this!¡±
Mrs. Hawkins passed a ck crystal ball to Dean.
Upon receiving it, Dean couldn¡¯t help but narrow his eyes.
Item: Mystifying ckwater Crystal of Destiny
Description: Crafted by the Dark Mist Fortune-teller over the course of a year, it can fend off divination and alter the bearer¡¯s appearance, attribute points, and name, allowing one to take on a whole new persona.
PS: Anyone below Six-turn can¡¯t see through it
¡°What¡¯s this?¡±
¡°Just hold on to it. I need to leave now!¡±
Mrs. Hawkins tossed the item into Dean¡¯s hand, crushed a ck crystal ball, and disappeared into a puff of ck smoke.
Watching Mrs. Hawkins leave, Dean raised an eyebrow.
¡°What¡¯s happening? Could it be the Bloody Church¡¯s people are on our tail? s, I¡¯m still too weak!¡±
Professionals often have thismon issue, attributing everything to theirck of strength.
Dean was not exempt from this thought.
At least in his mind, if he were stronger, there would be no need for a mystery man. Whoever dared to y mystery could take a beating.
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s get down to business first!¡±
For now, Dean lurked on the edge of ckwater City, found a rtively hidden spot, and opened the Gate of Bone to release the people trapped inside.
As he released them all, Dean activated the crystal and changed his appearance to mimic his best friend before the transition, and modified his attributes from a professional to a regr person.
Soon, Dean blended perfectly among the group he just released.
The smooth nature of this operation was because their memories had been modified by Mrs. Hawkins.
The memories of them being captured and taken to the Bloody Church¡¯s stronghold were erased.
This was done, on one hand, to prevent the risk of Dean¡¯s information being disclosed. On the other, it was for their own well-being.
After all, these were not happy memories.
They were nightmares that might take a lifetime to heal from, so Mrs. Hawkins simply erased them.
This greatly facilitated Dean, allowing him to smoothly blend into their group.
Despite his camouge being partly to sneak into ckwater City, Dean was more concerned about the welfare of this group of people.
He didn¡¯t know how ckwater City would deal with them, there was a chance they might simply be expelled.
However, what happened next greatly surprised Dean.
Not long after he released the people, the residents of ckwater City discovered them, and the city¡¯s Professional Alliance sent representatives to escort them into the city and find them shelter, simr to the disaster refuge center in Spring City.
The conditions inside were actually quite good. Dean sensed that the environment was even better than the refuge center he¡¯d experienced in Spring City.
Following along with them, Dean took a refreshing bath and enjoyed a satisfying meal.
Despite the meal not being extravagant, it was delicately prepared, and he felt the effort they put towards it.
This made Dean extremely pleased.
Having just witnessed the dark side of the Bloody Church, seeing this beautiful side was like a cleansing for Dean¡¯s soul.
This led to Dean deciding to rest in this center for a few days.
Since the strongest in this refuge was but a mere Third-turn Professional, Dean could dance under his nose without a problem given his current strength.
After all, with his feet on the ground, if he wanted, everything within a three thousand meter radius would be under his spirit scope.
Dean could stealthily open the Gate of Bone just a crack and extend his spiritual power in.
He had just extended his spiritual power into the Land of Bone when he discovered that the Unicorn seemed to be on the verge ofpleting the transformation into a Skeleton Horse
Chapter 194:143 The second perfect quality skeleton
Chapter 194:143 The second perfect quality skeleton
Trantor: 549690339
In the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t enter, but his Spiritual Power was focused on the unicorn.
Through his spiritual perception, Dean clearly saw the originally sacred and beautiful unicorn was now reduced to a mere skeleton.
Meanwhile, within its skull, two mes, Soul me and Pupil Fire, were slowly taking shape.
Almost at the same time as Dean¡¯s spiritual power was sent over, the two mes burned brightly.
At the same time, a system notification immediately appeared.
[Your {Skeleton Horse Seed} has been used sessfully, and you have sessfully transformed a special skeleton horse into a {Bone Unicorn}!]
Name: Bone Unicorn
Level: 80
Grade: Perfect
Category: Mount
¡°Perfect quality?¡±
Dean hadn¡¯t expected this either.
Although the original unicorn was of perfect quality, it was now a transformed wraith. Dean had already prepared for a downgrade. He didn¡¯t expect a pleasant surprise like this.
¡°Perfect quality is good, I think I might have a chance to summon a perfect quality Skeleton Knight!¡±
Dean didn¡¯t let the iron cool down and immediately had Doggy Two bring out the {Skeleton Knight Temte} for use with his Spiritual Power.
[You have consumed one {Skeleton Knight Temte} and used the Bone Unicorn to summon a Skeleton Knight!]
[After detecting the target¡¯s special characteristics, do you want to consume 2 perfect quality temte fragments and 30 rare quality temtes for the summoning?]
¡°2 perfect quality temte fragments and 30 rare quality temtes?¡±
The price was much higher than Dean expected.
Investing this many resources would leave Dean with only 20 or so rare temtes leftover.
But Dean gritted his teeth and agreed!
Because Dean knew that one perfect quality Skeleton Knight would surpass 30 rare quality skeletons.
[You have consumed 2 perfect quality temte fragments and 30 rare temtes to start summoning! ]
[You have sessfully summoned {Fallen Silver Holy Skeleton Knight}!]
Apanied by two system notifications, a Skeleton Knight holding a silvernce, wearing a silver helmet, and a set of bone armor appeared on top of the white unicorn¡¯s skeleton.
At the same time, its attributes appeared before Dean¡¯s eyes.
Name: Fallen Silver Holy Skeleton Knight
Level: 81
Temte: Perfect
Trait: Fallen Holy Light (B-grade) (The damage to Holy Light profession is increased by a hundred percent. Each attack has a one percent chance of infecting the Spiritual Power of the Holy Light profession. Killing a Holy Light profession of the same level permanently increases all attributes by one percent, up to a maximum increase of two hundred percent.)
Intermediate (Special)
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Strength: 5999, Agility: 3990, Physique: 5554-5, Spirit: 4554.5
Attack: 59990
Defense: 55545
Spiritual Power: 250,000
Mount: Bone Unicorn (Increases agility by 15,000, increases knight skills¡¯ damage by three hundred percent, provides energy defense equal to 20 times all the Knight¡¯s attributes)
Skill: Riding (8 levels), Charge (8 levels)
Included Equipment: Fallen Holy Lance (Silver), 81 levels, (Increases attack by 5000, improves the level of knight skills by one)
Fallen Holy Armor (Silver), 81 levels (Set), (Increases 50,000 fixed defense)
These attributes ce it second only to Doggy Two among all of Dean¡¯s skeletons.
Although the trait only grants a two hundred percent increase, it is a permanent one.
Thus, Dean was quite satisfied with this trait.
Just that the amount of skills it possessed is a little less, but it is no big deal. Dean has one more skill ready for it.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven) has learned the skill {Fearless Charge}! ]
Dean gave the Fourth-turn skill to the Skeleton Knight on the spot and immediately named it.
Initially, Dean wanted to give it Doggy Three¡¯s name.
He thought it should be able to carry this fate.
Butter he changed his mind and decided against it as it¡¯s better to avoid unnecessary issues. He needed to be cautious since it was difficult to get a perfect quality.
After having learned the skill, Dean opened it up to review the {Fearless Charge} attribute.
Skill: Fearless Charge (Fourth-turn)
Level: 1 (1/500,000)
Consumption: 100,000 Spiritual Power
Description: Upon activation, it removes the current control and bes immune to control for the next one second, charging toward the target to cause damage equal to 23 times the strength plus attack.
Breaking control and enhancing attack is indeed a strong skill.
This skill raises Doggy Seven¡¯sbat efficiency several times in an instant!
¡°Not bad, not bad!¡±
Dean was quite satisfied.
After summoning Doggy Seven, Dean had Doggy Two retrieve the {Damaged Mysterious Door} from their inventory.
The Land of Bone was now too small.
Especially after the arrival of Doggy Seven.
The existence of two perfect quality Fourth-turn skeletons exerted immense pressure on the Land of Bone, as Dean could clearly feel.
Thus, the enhancement of the Land of Bone, this portable mysterious realm, couldn¡¯t be dyed any longer.
Dean took the chance while things were temporarily stable to use the {Damaged Mysterious Door}, and enhance the skills of his skeleton servants like Doggy Two in passing.
After upgrading {Summon Skeleton} to Level 3, Bone Sublimation could enhance six skeletons, with two skills to be enhanced for each.
Together with the nearly 200,000 gold coins in Dean¡¯s possession.
If all of these resources were consumed, Dean¡¯s strength would ascend to a terrifying level..
Chapter 195:143 Second Perfect Quality Skeleton !
Chapter 195:143 Second Perfect Quality Skeleton !
Trantor: 549690339
At least, beating a fifth-turn should be no problem.
¡°Let¡¯s use this door first and see the effect. If it¡¯s possible, I¡¯ll upgrade the talent level first, then enhance Doggy Two and the others.¡±
Dean McKenzie made a n instantly.
Then, Dean McKenzie directly used the door.
¡°You are using the ¡®Damaged Mysterious Door.¡¯ Next, a Secret Realm Gate will be opened in your ¡®Land of Bone¡¯ pocket realm!
Clear the creatures inside, and you will acquire this Secret Realm.
ps: Please note, if your Secret Realm ispletely upied, you will lose it. pss: If the situation goes sour, please choose to close the door!¡± Along with the system message¡¯s refresh, Dean McKenzie clearly saw a ck door, simr to the Gate of Bone, had opened in the Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s mood became slightly tense as the door slowly opened.
After all, the Secret Realm behind the door was random, and Dean McKenzie was uncertain about what could be there.
If the Secret Realm on the other side was far higher leveled than the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie would have to quickly close the door.
Theoretically speaking, everything should be fine as long as Dean McKenzie remained cautious.
Less than five minutester, the ckrge door was opened.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power was the first to probe in.
When he did, he was instantly relieved.
Dean McKenzie sensed a third-turn creature, and it was a creature he was familiar with.
Name: Robust Fallen Demon
Temte: Elite
Level: Level 71
Name: Quick Fallen Demon
Temte: Elite
Level: Level 75
Name: Resilient Fallen Demon
Temte: Elite
Level: Level 78
Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power probed about a kilometer in, and all he saw were Fallen Demons.
They were all of elite quality, with levels ranging from 71 to 80.
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power had only probed a small part of the Secret Realm, he felt much more at ease.
The Secret Realm was probably a small one, with creature levels not too high.
The highest should be a fifth-turn, or possibly only a fourth-turn.
It¡¯s manageable!
So, Dean McKenzie confidently let the dogs out.
¡°Guys, attack!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯s call, his dogs charged forth, not even giving the Fallen Demons a chance toe out, they rushed in first.
Old Seven, who had just been summoned, was the first to charge in. Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t expect it to initiate a Fearless Charge straight away.
It amounted to a major attack to clear the creatures.
One charge, and it bulldozed a blood path.
Doggy Two felt it could not fall behind; it needed to show the neer who the boss was, so it charged in with the Bone Throne. As soon as it was in, it activated the King of Bone.
If you said that Doggy Seven¡¯s Fearless Charge was an overkill like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Doggy Two¡¯s King of Bone was effectively equivalent to dropping a high- tension line into a pool of water.
Everything has to die!
With one move, not only did a batch of Fallen Demons fell, but Old Eight behind him also got hit by the st.
The meless Old Eight who was running in front suddenly got hit and felt greatly wronged. In its eyes, the re of wanting to fight Doggy Two sparkled.
But looking at Doggy Two¡¯s current state, Old Eight reluctantly held back its anger and vented on the Fallen Demons instead.
The dogs behind them entered the Secret Realm Gate one after another, and madness harvest mode was initiated.
The mere third-turn Fallen Demons couldn¡¯t withstand Dean McKenzie¡¯s fierce dogs.
They quickly fell inrge batches.
Dean, seeing the battle start, found a ce to enter the Land of Bone. Then, he followed Doggy Two and the others, crazily using Extraction.
¡®You have sessfully used Extraction on the Robust Fallen Demon, and you have gained 50 attribute points and an Elite Temte Fragment!¡¯
¡®You have sessfully used Extraction on the Resilient Fallen Demon, you have gained 50 attribute points, and an Elite Temte!¡¯
Dean McKenzie got 50 proficiency points for each creature.
10 of them would be 500, too would be 5,000.
To upgrade Dean McKenzie¡¯s level 3 talent, he needed 500,000 proficiency points. While McKenzie had already garnered around 110,000, obtaining the remaining 390,000 would roughly require killing 7800 three-turn Fallen Demons.
Mckenzie was slightly worried, uncertain whether the number of Fallen Demons in this Mysterious Realm would suffice.
But he soon found that his fears were somewhat baseless.
The number of Fallen Demons in this Mysterious Realm far exceeded his expectations and the area it covered was alsorger than he had imagined.
McKenzie and his Skeleton Army had been fighting for nearly a full day, conquering a territory almost five times the size of the Land of Bone, yet they were far from done.
All the Fallen Demons encountered so far were of the three-turn variety.
The three-turn Fallen Demons stood no chance against McKenzie¡¯s fourth-turn Skeleton Army.
Even their ordinary attacks were enough to obliterate arge number of them.
With Doggy Two firsthand expanding the territory, Dean McKenzie did not have to lift a finger.
However, McKenzie found that not acting was even more tiring than acting.
After all, even though he was not killing the monsters himself, he had not taken a break from Extraction.
Throughout the day, Dean McKenzie had so lost count of how many times he had used Extraction. All he knew was that he already had two to three thousand Elite Temtes.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s talent proficiency had also reached [499,900/500,000].
He was just two points away. Once he crossed this threshold, his talents would be able to level up.
¡°Truly, this is exhausting. I am taking a break as soon as I¡¯ve leveled my talents!¡±
As he grumbled, Dean McKenzie used Extraction on the corpses of two Fallen Demons close by.
[You¡¯ve gained too Attribute points, you¡¯ve used these points to raise your Talent proficiency!]
[Your Talent proficiency is up to standard!]
[Your Talent level has reached the upgrade standard, do you want to start the upgrade now?]
¡°Yes!¡±
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s excited nod, a gray light rose from his body, as the system prompt refreshed once again.
[Your Talent level has risen to level 4! ]
Talent: Extraction
Level: 4(0/5 million) (High-Quality Talent Stones: 0/10)
Mana cost: 100
Effect: Can extract attributes from monsters that haven¡¯t been dead more than 900 minutes.
This talent¡¯s attribute introduction was as simple as ever.
After the upgrade, the supposedly tired Dean McKenzie was immediately revitalized again.
¡°Rest? To hell with rest! Comfort is for the dead, as long as we aren¡¯t dead, we keep going!
Rolling is king!¡±
With his full motivation, McKenzie tested his level 4 talent.
The extraction limit was increased. Dean McKenzie¡¯s extraction from the Fallen Demons increased from 50 to between 200 and 300.
There¡¯s likely no limit, McKenzie figured the upper limit could be around 500.
At the same time, the attribute allocation limit soared at an epic level.
Originally at Talent Level 3,
An Ordinary Temte increased by 15 points per 10 levels and each increase in quality added another 15 points.
After level 4, it multiplied by 10.
An Ordinary Temte could boost by 150 points per 10 levels.
That is, a level 100, fourth-turn Ordinary Skeleton could receive a 1500 point attribute increase.
For Elite Quality, it is 3000, Excellent Quality is 4500, Rare Quality is 6000, and Perfect Quality is 7500.
This was a terrifying increase, and Dean McKenzie was very pleased.
¡°Now, that¡¯s more like it! At Talent Level 3,1 could only increase 540 points for a level 81, that¡¯s simply not enough!
Now that I¡¯m Talent Level 4, my strength can increase again!¡±
McKenzie started from the basics.
McKenzie was now Level 73. He had previously added 420 points to his four main attributes. Now that his talent was level 4, each attribute could be increased by another 3,780 points.
After McKenzie added the points, his attributes became:
Strength: 6,880.4, Agility: 7,351.4, Physique: 6,779.6, Spirit: 10,344.2
Magic Strength: 11,177.2
Mana: 167,264
The thorough numerical monster.
However, adding tens of thousands of attribute points did not give Dean McKenzie a qualitative leap in hisbat power since he was not at fourth-turn.
So, he didn¡¯t start with boosting himself.
Instead, he started with his Skeleton minions first!

Inside the Fallen Demon Secret Realm.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s progress within the secret realm is ongoing as well as his extraction.
Besides extraction, Dean also had to provide an additional impartation.
In less than two hours, Dean had invested about 1700 gold coins.
He maxed out the four-dimensional limits of Old Two, Old Seven, Old Six, Old Eight, Old Four, Old Nine, and even himself.
After maxing out all four dimensions, Dean began to save up attribute points.
Preparing to save till the end, and then enhance a skill.
A level 4 talent can extract bodies that died within 900 minutes, meaning that attribute points can also be saved for 900 minutes.
Dean wanted to try, with saving 900 minutes of attributes, what kind of skill he could enhance.
For this, Dean put in many grueling hours.
He focused solely on extraction.
With twelve hours of hard work, the total number of attribute points Dean umted had exceeded two million, a much terrifying efficiency than before.
After all, his talent had leveled up.
Dean estimated that with three hours left, if he worked hard, it was possible to reach three million.
However, Dean realized that he might not have this opportunity.
Just twelve hours had passed when a series of system prompts refreshed.
[You¡¯ve sessfully killed the ¡®Very Hot Fallen Demon High Priest¡¯ (Level 81) (Rare)!]
[You¡¯ve sessfully killed the ¡®Extremely Tough Fallen Demon Leader¡¯ (Level 81) (Rare)!]
[Your level has risen to level 74!]
[You¡¯ve sessfully cleared this secret realm, it will gradually merge into your Portable Mystical Realm!]
¡°Ha?¡±
Looking at the refreshed system prompts in front of him, Dean was stupefied.
Even the boss was not seen and the battle was over, it was Dean¡¯s first encounter with this kind of situation.
Dean couldn¡¯t help but look forward, yet there was nothing in front of him other than corpses everywhere.
Doggy Two and the others had unfortunately run off somewhere, currently, the only skeleton beside Dean was Old Four, who had just been employed as a bodyguard and was now tasked with protecting Dean.
Seeing the situation, Dean fortunately opened Old Four¡¯s attribute panel and upgraded Old Four¡¯s [Guardian Shield] skill.
[You activated the [Summon Skeleton] Trait [Bone Sublimation], initiated the skill enhancement for Doggy Four¡¯s [Guardian Shield], and have 150 minutes to do the enhancement!]
¡°150 minutes? The time has indeed increased by tenfold, it should be sufficient for me to use!¡±
Dean said as he opened the frantic extraction mode.
Keeping pace, he finallypleted the preliminary extraction of the remaining bodies in the secret realm within 150 minutes!
[You consumed 112000 gold coins, allocated 2.8 million in attributes to the [Guardian Shield], reinforcing its defense!]
[You spent 50 gold coins, assigned the [Damage Reduction] (Rare) (Essence) to [Guardian Shield], generating the Shield¡¯s trait of [Damage Reduction]!]
[You spent 600 gold coins, let [Damage Reduction] Trait devour 3000 High-Quality Essence!]
[You consumed 5000 gold coins, let the [Damage Reduction] Trait devour 500 Excellent Essence!]
[You spent 5000 gold coins, let [Damage Reduction] devour 50 Rare Essence!]
[The [Guardian Shield]¡¯s trait [Damage Reduction]¡¯s quality has been raised to Perfect (Limit)!]
[Sess! Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four)¡¯s skill [Guardian Shield] (Fourth-turn) has been enhanced!]
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn) (1 Reinforced)
Level: Level 1 (121/5 million)
Consumption: 200,000 Spirit Power
Effect: Once activated, the Guardian Shield can be linked to a unit, moving their received damage onto oneself.
It passively increases own physique by 20 times plus 2.8 million fixed defense, reducing thirty percent of damage
Property: Damage Reduction (Perfect)
Effect: It can passively reduce ny-five percent of damage you receive (below six-turn)
ps: It¡¯s immune to Perfect Quality below [Armor Break] [True] and other damages
pss: The link can be kept open
psss: Trait reduction calcted before defense
This is the skill that Dean acquired after spending more than one hundred and twenty thousand gold coins.
Then, Dean nced at Old Four¡¯s current attributes.
Name: Bronze Shield Warrior (Old Four)
Temte: Rare
Level: Level 81
Trait: Defense Enhance (C Level) (It passively increases basic defense by one hundred percent, when activated, defense effect increases by three hundred percent, duration is 30 minutes)
Trait: Intermediate
Attributes:
Strength: 2126, Agility: 1212, Physique: 10402, Spirit: 3
Attack: 10630
Defense: 52010 (Basic)
104020 (Trait¡¯s passive addition)
Spirit Power: 200,000
Seeing Old Four¡¯s attributes, Dean felt an instinctive sense of security.
Just the base defense¡¯ alone was as high as 100,000, not even considering
Dean¡¯s [Skeleton Domination].
Factor in Skeleton Domination, it could boost another 5500 or so.
And as soon as Old Four activates [Guardian Shield], its defense could suddenly increase to three million and ten thousand.
Further, it was a fixed defense.
Any damage below three million and ten thousand would not even scratch a single hair on Old Four, let alone it also has a thirty percent and ny-five percent damage reduction..
Chapter 197: 144 Talent Level Up_2
Chapter 197: 144 Talent Level Up_2
Trantor: 549690339
And this deduction applies before Defense.
That is to say, out of a 100 points Attack, Old Four first deducts 95 points, the remaining 5 points are further reduced by 30 percent before they finally hit Old
Four¡¯s Defense.
Unless the damage is in the hundreds of millions or even billions, it won¡¯t hurt Old Four, nor will it hurt Dean McKenzie.
¡°And this is still when Old Four hasn¡¯t activated his trait where his Defense can climb up to around ten million in thirty minutes.
Even though I¡¯m not very clear about the realbat power of fifth-turn professions, if the Defense is at this level, they can definitely withstand it easily!
Even a six-turn profession might not be able to break it!
This is a good investment!¡±
Dean McKenzie is very satisfied.
This skill enhancement allows Dean McKenzie to be unbeatable in front of both fifth and sixth-turn professionals.
However, Dean McKenzie does not underestimate the fifth-turn professionals because of this.
Even though he already has the lives of two fifth-turn powerhouses in his hands, he¡¯s only picked up their leftovers.
He still respects the fifth-turn professionals.
Moreover, Dean knows very well that right now he can only survive in front of the fifth-turn powerhouses. Without improving his corresponding skills, he is no more than a hard rock in their eyes.
Even though they can¡¯t defeat him, there¡¯s not much of a threat, they can just corner him.
¡°So, all aspects still need to be elevated.
But now that the Secret Realm is over, there¡¯s no chance for improvement for
now.
Next time I enhance, 1 can¡¯t do it like this. I can put aside the assignment of attribute points.
A single attribute point for four Silver Coins is not expensive, but the quantity
is terrifying.
This time because it was necessary for my safety, next time I must focus on the
traits.
This will save money and the effect will be better, otherwise, the money I have will not be enough!¡±
The cost of hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins scares Dean McKenzie.
If he continues like this, he could do it a maximum of two more times with the money he has.
This is really unbearable.
Luckily, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t just spend money in this Secret Realm, he also gained something.
Not long after Dean McKenziepleted Old Four¡¯s skill enhancement, Old Eight came to present his treasure.
He brought the storage ring which Dean McKenzie had received from ine Richardson and picked up all the glowing points from the ground. As soon as he saw Dean was free, he delivered the ring to Dean.
Dean opened the storage space of the ring and was immediately dazzled. This is a lot of glowing points.
By a conservative estimate, there are at least three to four thousand of them.
Seeing so many glowing points, Dean is totally numb.
Although opening glowing points is a fun task, it¡¯s exhausting to do so many at once.
Fortunately, Dean doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be the one to open them. He poured out all the glowing points and called the dogs over. After nearly an hour of hard work, every glowing point was opened and organized.
Thousands of glowing points resulted in 13,000 Gold Coins.
It¡¯s not even a tenth of what Dean McKenzie spent on skill enhancement, and the rest of the items are mostly third-turn or lower, which Dean doesn¡¯t pay
much attention to.
Even though the two bosses dropped two pieces of silver equipment, either it wasn¡¯tpatible with Dean McKenzie¡¯s profession, or the level was wrong.
After cleaning for an hour, Dean still didn¡¯t find anything he liked. ¡°Forget it, if there¡¯s nothing, there¡¯s nothing, anyway, I¡¯ve already gained a lot, summoning Old Seven, upgrading Talent, enhancing Old Four¡¯s skill, and I can even upgrade the Land of Bone.
If I am too greedy, it would be a bit much.
Let¡¯s take a rest first.¡±
After saying this, Dean exited from the Land of Bone.
The fusion of the Fallen Demon Secret Realm and the Land of Bone was not particrly fast.
Three days after Dean McKenzie finished harvesting the Fallen Demon Secret Realm, the fusion of the two secret realms was only about thirty percentplete.
With this rate, it was estimated that it would take another seven days toplete the fusion.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie was in no rush. During these three days of fusion, he was quitefortable staying in the ckwater City Rescue Center.
Every day, he would learn how to integrate into the world and find employment again.
Apparently, the rescue center in ckwater City has a lot of experience in helping victims who have lost their memories. They were doing well in this regard.
Dean McKenzie had a pleasant three days and even made a friend.
¡°Brother Dean, what do you think of this job?
Of all the jobs, this one has the highest monthly sry, with about 800 to 1200 a month. Plus, it¡¯s a live-in job. If I work hard enough for a few years, I can save a Gold Coin. With that, I could then proceed to the promotion ceremony.
If I¡¯m lucky enough, I could even be a professional!¡±
In the rescue center, a young man in his twenties held a manual, his eyes shining with excitement as he talked to Dean McKenzie.
When Dean McKenzie heard this, he looked at the job that the young man was considering, lost in thought. It felt familiar, almost like he was transported back to a year ago.
A year ago, Dean McKenzie was just like this young man, full of expectation, dreaming of bing a professional. He, too, had crawled into a sewer, staying there for half a year.
Looking at the young man before him, Dean McKenzie felt as if he was looking at his past self.
If it were a few months ago, Dean McKenzie would have given him the Gold Coin without hesitation, helping him achieve his dream earlier.
That would be like fulfilling his own dream.
But now, he simply smiled at him and gave him encouragement: ¡°Work hard. I believe you can do it!¡±
¡°Uh-huh!¡±
The young man nodded heavily.
All he sought from Dean McKenzie was this encouragement and affirmation.
And then, he immersed himself in the anticipation of his future.
Watching him silently from the side, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know how long this young man would remain motivated, or when reality would shatter his
dreams.
But at least for now, this dreaming young man was fulfilled and happy.
For the next few days, the young man started working hard for that job, studying seriously, hoping to start working as soon as possible.
After observing his busy but hopeful demeanor, Dean McKenzie felt as if a weight has been lifted from his heart.
¡°Even though they had a dark past, they don¡¯t have to linger in the darkness. They can still have their own dreams, goals, and future. They can start their lives anew!
This is great!¡±
Dean McKenzie was satisfied. After witnessing the darkness of the Bloody Church, the brightness of this rescue center once again made him realize that the world was not as bad as he¡¯d imagined.
¡°Hmm, 1 should be leaving soon too.
After the fusion of the Fallen Demon Secret Realm and the Land of Bone isplete, I should assess the strength of the merged secret realm. After replenishing the Skeleton Legion, I can start the ¡®Goblin Uprising 4¡¯ dungeon. If I reach level 80 after the dungeon, I¡¯ll consider promoting my ss. If not, I¡¯ll find ways to level up to 80 and then think about the Fourth-turn.¡±
Dean McKenzie quietly set his ns for the next period of time.
However, what Dean McKenzie did not anticipate was that an unexpected situation urred just after he finished nning.
On the eighth day that Dean McKenzie stayed in the rescue center, all the victims in the center were summoned. Apparently, a majorpany was recruiting workers and wanted to hire from the rescue center.
The monthly sry would be two Silver Coins.
Moreover, if the workers stayed in thepany for a year, thepany would organize a promotion ceremony. All employees could participate for free.
When they heard this, everyone was ecstatic.
The young man was even more thrilled: ¡°Brother Dean, it¡¯s amazing! I never thought we¡¯de across such a fantastic opportunity!
Now we all have a chance to be professionals!¡±
In his excitement, the young man didn¡¯t notice the sudden grimness on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face. Hearing that the workce was outside the city and the recruitment was not limited by gender or age, Dean McKenzie¡¯s expression turned serious.
¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect to encounter such an opportunity either!¡±

ckwater City, the Rescue Center.
Ever since the recruitment by the so-called conscientious bigpany began, Dean McKenzie has been skeptical towards thispany and even the entire Rescue Center.
The main reason is that the recruitment of thispany seems strange, and the benefits are just too good.
A sry of two thousand a month, covering food and amodation, and a chance for a promotion after a year of work.
Moreover, the recruitment requirements are astonishingly low. Basically, anyone who¡¯s a person can be hired.
This kind of recruitment reminds Dean in a strange way of those dishonest apps that trick people into going for sketchy job opportunities from before he was transported.
Therefore, Dean immediately dispatched Earl.
He sent Earl to infiltrate the director¡¯s office in the Rescue Center to investigate the situation.
To check if this recruitment was another sketchy job scam.
So, what is Earl¡¯s current strength?
Fourth-turn level 81, of Rare Quality!
Such strength is considered top-notch in ckwater, a city that¡¯s not exactly big.
At least, the third-turn director in the rescue center who¡¯s currently the strongest, won¡¯t be able to detect Earl.
Before long, Earl delivered the data of thepany into Dean¡¯s hands.
Surprisingly, it seemed that there were no issues with thepany¡¯s data.
Thepany seemed to be a legitimate bigpany that directly coborates with the officials of ckwater City.
¡°Could it be that with the endorsement of the ckwater City Professionals Alliance Center, it isn¡¯t a sketchy job scam?¡±
Seeing thepany¡¯s information, Dean felt a bit relieved.
Yet the nagging worry in his heart was still there.
He himself couldn¡¯t exin why.
¡°Regardless, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems on the Rescue Center¡¯s side.
From the person in charge to all staff members of the center, they¡¯re all treating every aid recipient with love and care.
They also deeply love their job.
At least, in the eight days I¡¯ve been here, I haven¡¯t seen anything bad.¡±
Dean pondered for a moment, finally decided, ¡°Since it¡¯s bothering me this much, let¡¯s go and check it out.
If it¡¯s a goodpany or if it¡¯s a scam den, I¡¯ll know once I get there!¡±
Having made up his mind, Dean signed up with a young man.
It was only when Dean nced at the registration form that he realized the young man¡¯s name was Finch Olmedo.
Funnily enough, the two had been spending time together for several days, yet Dean knew nothing about his name even though he had been calling him ¡°Dean¡± all the time.
This couldn¡¯t be med on Dean. When Finch¡¯s memory was sealed, he became a stranger to his own name too. It was only when he racked his brain during registration that he remembered his name.
Once they both registered, Finch was so excited that he couldn¡¯t sleep that night.
He kept discussing their new job with Dean into the night.
That night, Finch even made ns for his life.
¡°Dean, I stealthily asked Mr. Richardson. He said that the contract the bigpany signed with us was for five years, and there¡¯s a promotion ceremony every year.
Then, I¡¯ll save up all my monthly sry.
I don¡¯t need to spend it since thepany covers food and amodation. With two silver coins a month, that¡¯s twenty-four a year.
If I¡¯m lucky and seed in getting promoted to a professional, then this money can serve as my startup fund for my professional path.
Even if I¡¯m unlucky and fail to be promoted for five consecutive years, I could still save up one hundred and twenty silver coins.
If I¡¯m still ambitious by then, I can grit my teeth and give it one more try.
If I lose my drive then, having this sum of money would mean I¡¯d still be guaranteed a living, even if thepany doesn¡¯t want me after five years.
If I¡¯m lucky and thepany still wants me, I might even be able to use the money to get married!¡±
¡°Dean, have you ever been married?¡±
¡°Mr. Richardson told me that his biggest dream was to have a wife and kids. He said it was the happiest thing he can think of!
I don¡¯t know which is more blissful, being married or being a professional.¡±
All night, Finch kept chattering away.
Surprisingly, Dean didn¡¯t find him annoying. He quietly listened and even gave him a piece of advice in the end.
¡°Why do you have to choose? Can¡¯t you be both a professional and a husband?
Wouldn¡¯t that let you experience double the happiness?¡±
¡°That seems to be the case!¡±
Dean¡¯s suggestion lit up Finch¡¯s eyes, but he soon shook his head, ¡°Nah, I¡¯ve heard that being a professional is really dangerous.
If I get married and have children, and then I die, what would happen to them?
So it¡¯s better not to be too greedy. Just being a husband or a professional is enough!
Having either one would be more than satisfying for me!¡±
Hearing Finch¡¯s words, a smile formed on the corner of Dean¡¯s lips.
This guy, even his dreams are gentle.
That night, Dean fell asleep in Finch¡¯s constant chatter, under Earl¡¯s protection.
The very next morning, several mechanical buses arrived from the Rescue Center.
Everyone who signed up got on the buses and was taken out of ckwater City.
About thirty or forty kilometers out of the city, Dean and the others were dropped off at their destination.
Dean looked up to see four big characters: [ckwater Mine].
Seeing those four words, and the somewhat dirty mine behind those words, Dean couldn¡¯t help but feel startled. In the end, it turned out they were sent here to mine.
This job, well, it seems pretty alright.
Dean thought about it, it was at least a lot better than his past job in the sewers. If he had such a job back then, he wouldn¡¯t have had to spend a good half a year in the sewers..
Chapter 199: Mine 145, Secret Realm fusion successful !
Chapter 199: Mine 145, Secret Realm fusion sessful !
Trantor: 549690339 |
Of course, the premise was that the job is legit.
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie and others were weed into the mine.
Upon entering the mine, as the bus left, the mine staff began to assign work to Dean McKenzie and others.
Their roles were quite reasonably arranged.
Strong and sturdy individuals like Dean McKenzie and Finch Olmedo were responsible for mining, while the elderly, children, and women were assigned logistical roles.
On the very same day, Dean McKenzie¡¯s group joined the hustle and bustle of the mine.
The mine was digging up ordinary ore of Iron Ore.
The workload was indeed rather heavy.
Dean McKenzie worked for 5 hours on his first day in the mine. Of course, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t actually be busting his back working. While Dean McKenzie was seemingly busy, his spiritual power carefully explored the entire mine, and Old Eight was also dispatched by him. However, after five hours, Dean McKenzie saw no anomalies.
This mine seemed very ordinary, just a normal mine.
If there was anything unusual about this mine, it would be its extremely generous benefits.
Beyond the monthly wage of two silver coins mentioned at the Rescue Center, the mine also provided performance-rted rewards, the more you work, the more you gain.
At the same time, workers¡¯ living standards were also excellent.
Each dormitory housed two people and featured a bathroom and even an air conditioner. There was also a recreation center in the dormitory building. The quality of food at the canteen was also quite good.
What¡¯s more, the mine had a hospital and even set up childcare.
It could be said that all aspects of a miner¡¯s life were taken into ount. The most crucial point was that Dean McKenzie noticed there were arge number of other workers in the mine, some of whom had been working there for nearly four or five years.
After knowing all these, Dean McKenzie looked puzzled.
¡°Did I overthink it?
Is this just a normalbor recruitment of a very conscientiouspany?¡± However, even though Dean McKenzie found things to be different from what he had thought, besides feeling puzzled, he felt more surprised.
After all, his original intention was to prevent any tragedy from happening, not to catch a group of evil fallen ones.
If everything here is normal, Dean McKenzie would undoubtedly be happier than anything else.
In this case, Finch Olmedo¡¯s respected future could be realized.
Just in case, Dean McKenzie decided to observe more for three days.
Only until three dayster, did Dean McKenzie¡¯s Fallen Demon Secret Realm and Land of Bone fully merge.
[Ding, your Portable Mysterious Realm [Land of Bone] has sessfully merged with the [Fallen Demon Secret Realm], Land of Bone has been upgraded to Intermediate Mysterious Realm!)
Hearing this system prompt refresh, Dean McKenzie, who was mining, felt joyous and found an excuse to slip away momentarily and entered the Land of Bone.
Upon entering the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie saw Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne shining brightly.
Apparently, the upgrade of the Land of Bone also brought significant benefits to Doggy Two¡¯s Bone Throne.
However, the Bone Throne didn¡¯t upgrade or even change its attributes.
Dean McKenzie felt that the throne had enhanced its potential.
Although no benefits could be seen for now, once Doggy Two improved his strengths, this throne would eventually undergo its transformation.
And now, what was transforming was the Land of Bone.
After a dozen or so days, when Dean McKenzie entered the Land of Bone again, he found that the Land of Bone had changed a lot.
Its area had expanded more than ten times from before.
Moreover, the expanded areas were not the Land of Wraith full of bones, but areas with spring blossoms.
But Dean McKenzie also noticed that the bones were gradually covering the Fallen Demon Secret Realm, and he estimated that in a few months at most, the entire Secret Realm would bepletely filled with bones.
To this, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t feel anything bad.
After all, having been a Necromancer for a while, along with the existence of Old Six, a Netherworld Architect, Dean McKenzie¡¯s aesthetic style was graduallyherworldly.
After looking at the Land of Bone a lot, looking at his current Secret Realm, Dean McKenzie felt a bit unustomed.
However, though he felt unustomed to the style of the Secret Realm, Dean McKenzie was still very pleased with the benefits brought by the merging of the Secret Realms.
The first was in regard to the Spirit Spring.
This was a surprise that Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t anticipated; as the Secret Realms merged, the level of the Secret Realm¡¯s Spirit Spring surprisingly increased, from the original level 1 to level 3.
Name: Pure Spring Eye
Level: Level 3
Description: Can continuously produce pure spring water, with a daily output of 50,000 milliliters.
Name: Pure Spring water
Level: Level 3
Description: Drinking it can slowly heal injuries and recover mana.
(Healing is effective for those with a physique below 125, consuming too milliliters of spring water can recover 1000 mana or 500 spirit power per minute.)
In other words, the current spring water offers Dean McKenzie 500 thousand mana every day.
That¡¯s not bad.
At least, it¡¯s enough for three-turn Dean McKenzie.
Apart from the upgrade of the spring water, what Dean McKenzie is most concerned about is how many Skeleton Legions the upgraded Land of Bone can amodate.
Dean McKenzie conducted an experiment on the spot.
[You used an Elite Temte, Skull Warrior Temte, summoned an 81-level Elite Skeleton, ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± proficiency increased by 50!]
[You used an Excellent Temte, Skull Warrior Temte, summoned an 81- level Excellent Skeleton, ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± skill proficiency increased by 500!]
[You consumed a Rare Temte, Skull Warrior Temte, summoned an 81- level Rare Skeleton, ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± skill proficiency increased by 5000!]
Dean McKenzie summoned all 20 Rare Temtes at once, gaining 100,000 proficiency.
He summoned 300 Excellent Four-turn Skeletons, gaining 150,000 proficiency. 130 Elite Skeletons, adding 6,500 proficiency.
In one move, Dean McKenzie improved the proficiency of ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± by 250 thousand.
Looking at it this way, the two million proficiency of level 7 ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± doesn¡¯t seem too far away.
In addition, the total number of Skeleton Legions that the enhanced Land of Bone can hold also came through.
500, a tenfold increase from before!
Dean McKenzie is very satisfied with these results.
At the moment, Dean McKenzie has 2 Perfect Quality Four-turn Skeletons, 24 skeletons of Rare Quality, 300 Excellent, and 130 Elites.
This is an massive army.
If he tossed this Undead Army out, Dean McKenzie felt that it could wear down a Fifth-turn creature till it dies.
If it¡¯s not enough, he could still add more for his opponent.
¡°Plus Old Four¡¯s ¡®Guardian Shield¡¯, I should barely be on par with aFifth-turn now, right?¡±
Dean McKenzie is quite satisfied with this.
¡°With this power, I can hopefullyplete ¡®Goblin Uprising 4¡¯.
At worst, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems, should there?
With Old Four¡¯s protection, even a Six-turn would find it hard to kill me.
As long as I don¡¯t die, I can withdrawal from the instance at any time. After all, with ¡®Crystal Heart¡¯ on me, the Goblin instances will continue regardless of how badly I do, I won¡¯t lose anything.
Well, let¡¯s give it a try then!¡±
Gauging his situation, Dean McKenzie took out the Instance Scroll for ¡®Goblin Uprising 4¡ä on the spot and used it!
After all, this mine is basically secured and Dean McKenzie felt relieved to leave it.
He took out the scroll andunched the instance attack right away.
What McKenzie doesn¡¯t know is that the moment he left, someone in the mine immediately looked up.
¡°He left? No, it¡¯s an instance, that¡¯s okay, then he should still be able to catch the show.
It¡¯s worth waiting a little for him, our uninvited special guest.¡±
As he spoke, he nced at his hand.
In the center, there was a mini-version of the mine.
Looking at the thriving mine in his palm, the man smiled.
His smile was like a hardworking farmer looking at his own cultivated farm, full of aplishment, brimming with the joy of the impending harvest.
¡°They want dreams, I¡¯ll give them dreams.
They want a future, I give them a future!
They want hope; I give them hope!
I¡¯ ve given them everything they want, and provided them with a life beyond their wildest dreams. After treating them so well, it¡¯s reasonable towant something in return, right?¡±

The Goblin Uprising Secret Realm, within the Fern City!
Dean McKenzie opened his eyes amidst a familiar feeling.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a system prompt popped up before him.
[You have entered the Secret Realm, your deputy upation [Secret Realm Explorer] is fully activated!]
[You have entered [ Goblin Uprising zj! ]
[You have triggered the main task of this secret realm ¨C City of the Wraith-Fern
City!]
[Task: City of the Wraith-Fern.]
Task description: A month ago, the Wraith Controller Crohnunched the Wraith Scourge, turning Fern City into a city of the wraith.]
Please leave the City of the Wraith or resolve it!]
¡°A main task is now avable?¡±
Dean McKenzie was somewhat surprised by this, but whilst surprised, he didn¡¯t forget to summon Old Four and Old Eight first.
As soon as Old Four arrived, it promptly activated the [Guardian Shield].
At the same time, Dean McKenzie treaded the ground and cautiously extended his spiritual power.
The first thing Dean McKenzie made sure of was the safety of hisnding spot. After ensuring that there were no dangers at hisnding spot, Dean McKenzie then turned his attention to the first system prompt that popped up.
To be exact, he focused on the deputy upation of a [Secret Realm Explorer], In fact, this deputy upation had appeared when Dean McKenzie left the pce of the dragon, but it had been dormant until now when it finally activated.
Dean McKenzie clicked on it, and the page for this secondary upation appeared before his eyes.
Deputy upation: Secret Realm Explorer
Level: Junior
Deputy upation Trait: Secret Realm Exploration (A) (Each time you enter the secret realm it will automatically activate the exploration degree. At the end of the secret realm, the degree of exploration will be settled.
Based on the results of the exploration degree, you will receive rewards including but not limited to knowledge, tools, equipment, potions, skills, and other objects!)
Current Exploration Points: 0
¡°So I started with an A-grade trait? It seems that this secondary upation is quite extraordinary!
Looking at the attributes, Dean McKenzie knew very well that he had hit the jackpot and acquired a pretty good deputy upation.
And today, it seemed like he had very many pleasant surprises, just as he closed the attribute page of his current upation, a system prompt appeared before McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[You havee to the prison where Crohn is held captive, and gained too exploration points!]
He scored a whopping too exploration points right at the start. Although he still didn¡¯t know what rewards these too exploration points would bring, the fact that he could get them for free already made McKenzie very happy.
¡°It seems that earning these exploration points shouldn¡¯t be too difficult! But it¡¯s a bit strange, didn¡¯t they say that this city has already turned into a City of the Wraith?
Why haven¡¯t I seen any wraiths?¡±
Dean McKenzie stepped on the ground, his spiritual power pushed out a kilometer or two, but not a single wraith could be seen.
Not only that, Old Eight hadn¡¯t spotted any wraiths either, not even a human could be seen.
The entire city seemed to have turned into a ghost town.
¡°What is going on?
Where are the wraiths in this city?
Where are the people in this city?
Why are they all missing?¡± Realizing that something was amiss, McKenzie simply opened the Gate of Bones and released the skeletons.
He stuck to his previous tactics and had the skeletons explore ahead. After all, the skeletons in McKenzie¡¯s arsenal were not worth much. If they were gone, McKenzie could summon new ones.
However, McKenzie was reluctant to have the skeletons above the excellent temte to explore, so he simply dispersed the elite temte skeletons.
And as soon as the 130 elite temte skeletons were released by McKenzie, Soon after, the system prompts in front of Dean McKenzie started to refresh. [Your skeletons have found the hiddenboratory of the Heretic Reformation Facility, you gained 2 exploration points!]
¡°A hiddenboratory?¡±
Upon seeing the system prompt, McKenzie was momentarily stunned, but then his eyes lit up.
He found that the role of his secondary upation seemed to be much greater than he had expected.
McKenzie hastened to find out where this hiddenboratory was.
Very quickly, McKenzie received feedback from his skeletons. He discovered a secret passage going further down under the heretic reformation facility.
He followed that secret passage and arrived in aboratory underneath the facility.
Before entering, Dean McKenzie sent out the skeletons again.
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeletons entered theboratory, a system prompt showed up again.
[You have discovered 13 modification projects of the Church of Holy Light, you gained 13 exploration points!]
[You discovered the modification project [Light Purification] for Crohn by the Church of Holy Light, you gained 50 exploration points!]
Upon hearing these two system prompts, or more precisely, hearing the second one, Dean McKenzie¡¯s spirits lifted.
After ensuring there were no dangers in theb, McKenzie, under Old Four¡¯s protection, entered theb and immediately proceeded to the ¡°Light Purification¡± project section that was aimed at modifying Crohn.
McKenzie had expected to see an extremely darkboratory.
But upon entering, he found that theboratory was not only non-dark, but it was also quite bright.
The style of theb was bright, and the name of all its projects was also bright. However, when Dean McKenzie arrived in the ¡°Light Purification¡±boratory for Crohn, when he saw the diary of the project leader, he felt his scalp tingling. ¡°The test subject is a fifth-turn Wraith controller, long-term exposure to the Power of Death, pollutions have deepened into the subject¡¯s soul.
In order to thoroughly purify the test subject, it is necessary to extract his soul and cleanse every inch of it with pure Holy Water!¡±
Chapter 201:146 Deputy Profession: Secret Realm Explorer 2
Chapter 201:146 Deputy Profession: Secret Realm Explorer 2
Trantor: 549690339 |
This is the beginning of the diary.
Seemingly ordinary paragraphs, but the pain they contain is unimaginable. Dean McKenzie had stayed in the Heretic Reformation Facility for 10 days, bathed in Holy Light Illumination for 10 days.
Just from that degree of illumination of the Holy Light, Dean McKenzie felt like he was being shed by a thousand des.
Dean McKenzie found it hard to believe, what kind of torture it would be if his soul was extracted and then immersed in high-concentration Holy Water. Dean McKenzie continued to read.
¡°The experiment encountered difficulties from the start, the subject¡¯s soul was elusive.
I have to admit, this entity that apanies the foul Power of Death, is even better at handling souls than we are.
Without being able to extract the subject¡¯s soul, the experiment cannotmence!¡±
¡°Finally found a breakthrough, destroy his will, then you can find his soul even extract his soul!¡±
¡°After half a year, we finally crushed his will through use of family, friendship, love, material, desire, and created an opening in his Consciousness Space!¡± The Holy Light has finally illuminated his defiled Consciousness Space!¡± ¡°Damn stubborn heretic, despite the Holy Light illuminating his consciousness, making his mental state unstable, he did not return from his deviance and did not be a devout believer of the Holy Light!¡± ¡°We cannot continue, his Consciousness Space is already broken; if we continue, he will bepletely lost!
He must not die!
He has the information from the fragment of that god -defying heart!¡±
Looking at the content of this diary, Dean McKenzie suddenly felt some sympathy for Crohn, who attacked him in the end and tried to possess him. Just from this diary, Dean McKenzie could see what kind of torture Crohn had endured in that so-called experiment.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie noticed the information at the end of the diary. ¡°God-defying heart fragment? Why does this thing¡¡± Dean McKenzie¡¯s words were cut short by a refreshed system prompt. [You have discovered information about the [God-defying Entity], you gained 1000 exploration points!]
Looking at the system prompt, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp.
Just one piece of information is worth 1000 exploration points?
It seems I¡¯ve really stumbled upon a huge secret, but how much is this 1000 exploration points worth?¡±
At this point, Dean McKenzie only knew he had profited, but he was not clear on how much he had profited.
This made him terribly anxious.
¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t matter how much I¡¯ve made, as long as I¡¯ve made something. Let¡¯s continue to look around this Heretic Reformation Facility. Also, Old Six should like thisb, right?
Time to tear it down!¡±
Yes, ever since Old Six¡¯s grand tomb was set up, Dean McKenzie was particrly invested in finding materials for Old Six.
Old Six didn¡¯t even need to ask. If Dean McKenzie found something suitable he would think of Old Six.
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, his skeletons began to dismantle theb. However, once they started, Dean McKenzie found that something was wrong. The skeletons in his own home couldn¡¯t dismantle theb.
¡°Is thisb that sturdy?¡±
Seeing that it couldn¡¯ t be dismantled, Dean McKenzie became even more interested.
All of his skeletons were called over for dismantling, but even with them all working on it, theb still couldn¡¯t be dismantled.
When Dean McKenzie was thoroughly confused, Old Six seemed to have discovered something. In front of Dean, Old Six was iling his bony hands and opening and closing his mouth as if saying something, but Dean couldn¡¯t understand. It wasn¡¯t until he called Old Eight, a professional skeleton trantor, that Dean knew what Old Six was saying.
You¡¯re saying, Old Six said that theb can¡¯t be dismantled, not because of theb, but because of the city?
This city is covered by a mysterious force, the city¡¯s buildings cannot be destroyed, and the things inside cannot be taken away, right?¡± Old Eight nodded, that was precisely the meaning!
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t believe it, and wanted to try it out on the spot. He took
the diary in his hand and tried to put it in the Land of Bone.
Well, it could be putin, but once inside, the Land of Bone wouldn¡¯t close.
Clearly, what Old Six said was true.
¡°So, this city is covered by some kind of force?
What kind of force is covering this city then?¡±
Old Six shook his head to indicate he did not know the answer to Dean McKenzie¡¯s question.
The diligent Old Eight also shook his head.
No need to trante, I can understand!¡±
Pushing Old Eight¡¯s head aside with a p, Dean McKenzie fell into deep thought: ¡°There are no wraiths in the city of the dead, and yet the main task is to escape this city. Does that mean the city cannot be left?¡±
¡°Hmm, let¡¯s give it a test!¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie ordered the skeletons to head out of Fern City.
Shortly after, Dean McKenzie received feedback. The skeleton he had sent was blocked by invisible forces at a point near the city gate, unable to move forward. ¡°It seems that this force envelops the entire city, ensuring it can¡¯t be destroyed, and nothing within it can leave.¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie came out of the Heretic Reformation Facility, went to the city gate to see with his own eyes how this mysterious force prevented his skeleton from advancing.
But he saw nothing, with his skeleton just standing there.
Dean McKenzie approached the gate to try it himself. He felt as if an invisible wall dead blocked him, preventing him from moving forward a millimeter.
He tried to attack it, but to no avail.
After struggling for a while, Dean McKenzie turned his gaze towards Fern City. ¡°It is definitely impossible to progress with brute force. I¡¯ll have to look within the city for clues!¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie began summoning skeletons.
Though the secret realm can only withstand 500 fourth-turn skeletons, it didn¡¯t prevent Dean McKenzie from continuing to summon.
The summoned skeletons from the 7-level Skeleton Summoning can exist for
12 hours. They are enough for mapping the way.
So, he summoned skeletons frenziedly, then dispatched the skeletons crazily.
He did this for 5 hours.
The fact remains that more people mean greater strength, more skeletons too mean greater strength!
Within 5 hours, Dean McKenzie summoned over a thousand /,-turn skeletons. These skeletons scrambled and quickly filled Fern City to the brim.
At this moment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s role as a Secret Realm Explorer began to y out again.
¡°You have discovered an abnormal Holy Light Church. You have obtained 5 exploration points!¡± *5
¡°You have discovered an abnormal Holy Light Church. You have obtained 25 exploration points!¡±
Another 50 exploration points were earned.
Of course, the important thing was not these points, but the six abnormal Holy Light Churches.
Dean McKenzie tried to outline the positions of the six churches on the ground creating a hexagonal shape.
¡°Looks like, unsurprisingly, that mysterious force engulfing the city might
have something to do with these six churches.
Moreover, the location of one particr church is especially important!
That church may be the key to breaking this deadlock!¡±
Having said that, Dean McKenzie took action.
He went straight to the nearest Holy Light Church.
When Dean McKenzie arrived, the church was already surrounded by his skeletons.
However, the skeletons did not dare to approach the church.
It was an instinctive fear of the Holy Light Church.
Of course, it was also because Dean McKenzie did not give the order. Once he arrived, he ordered the skeletons to go.
As soon as Dean McKenzie gave themand, Doggy Two repeated it, and the skeletons then began to swarm into the Holy Light Church.
But as soon as the skeletons got close, they disassembled.
It wasn¡¯t the kind of disassembly where they were crushed, it was as if Dean McKenzie¡¯s Skeleton Summoning skill failed.
This startled Dean McKenzie.
He hurriedly asked Doggy Two and the others to retreat.
If the disposable skeletons disassembled, it was nothing much, but if Doggy Two or any of them fell apart, Dean McKenzie might burst into tears on the spot.
After retreating the skeletons, Dean McKenzie approached the church himself and used his Appraisal Skill on the church.
¡°You have sessfully used the Appraisal Skill. You have received target attributes!¡±

Chapter 202:147 Holy Light Resistance Increase
Trantor: 549690339 ,
Name: Unusual Holy Light Church
Description: This church seems to be shrouded in a mysterious force.
This is Dean McKenzie¡¯s appraisal result.
What to make of this information?
It¡¯s quite redundant and artistically worded, but it doesn¡¯t contain any useful information.
¡°I was actually pleased just now, but the appraisal result is this kind of nonsense!¡±
A sixth or seventh level appraisal and this is the result?
Seems urgent to enhance this skill!
If it were enhanced, perhaps useful information could be obtained now!¡±
At this time, Dean McKenzie wants to enhance the appraisal skill.
However, the embarrassing thing is, he wants to enhance it now but there are no monsters for him to do so.
¡°Wait, it¡¯s not like there are no monsters at all!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, his eyes falling on his own skeletons.
¡°They can be used too!¡±
In Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands are two or three thousand elite temtes, more than a hundred excellence, and twenty rare temtes.
He certainly wouldn¡¯t want to part with his excellent and rare temtes, but for some three thousand elite temtes, if Dean McKenzie sacrifices one or two thousand, although it feels a bit of a loss, he could still make the sacrifice.
¡°Let¡¯s do it this way, first enhance the appraisal skill and see!
Dean McKenzie said, and immediately started.
Firstly, he let Doggy Two sacrifice all the skeletons he had just summoned; two or three thousand level 4 skeletons, each one contributed three to four hundred attribute points to Dean McKenzie.
In this single transaction, he gained 1,200,000 attribute points.
After that, Dean McKenzie officially started enhancing his [appraisal skill].
[You have consumed a grant quota and have opened [appraisal skill] enhancement. You have 150 minutes of enhancement time!]
[You currently have 3 remaining grant quotas! ]
[You consumed 4,000 gold coins to grant appraisal skill 100,000 attributes.
This skill only has one direction ¨C [Insight]!]
[Your skill appraisal has obtained a new trait [Insight] (high quality)!] [You consumed 400 gold coins, and your skill trait [Insight] devoured 2,000 high-quality essences!]
[Your skill [appraisal skill] has been sessfully enhanced!]
Skill: Appraisal Skill (enhanced once)
Level: 7 level (0/300 thousand)
Chant: Existence must have a trace, truth has nowhere to hide
Mana consumption: 5,000 points
Effect- Upon activation, you can 100% view the attributes of targets that don¡¯t exceed your own level by 2 turns, with a quality no more than your own by two levelsllnsight] (rare) (passive immune skill. You can avoid illusionary attacks that aren¡¯t above your own by two turns, or quality more than your own by two levels.
There¡¯s a 30% chance to identify the target¡¯s weakness in the appraisal skill range.
ps: If you attack the identified weak point, you can ignore the target¡¯s skill, equipment, talent, traits, etc. for defense, and cause 200% damage.)
Dean McKenzie is very satisfied with this enhancement result.
The appraisal skill was directly enhanced into an epic level.
Dean McKenzie tested the newly enhanced skill on the spot.
He used the appraisal skill again on the unusual Holy Light Church.
Name: Unusual Holy Light Church
Description: The church appears to be shrouded in a mysterious power. Only those whomand the Power of Holy Light or exist beyond the Six-turn can break this power.
At first nce, this appraisal result doesn¡¯t seem much different from the first.
But the difference is actually huge.
Dean McKenzie has found a way to break into the Holy Light Church!
¡°Command the Power of Holy Light or exist beyond the Six-turn, huh?
There¡¯s no need to think about the Six-turn. The only method I can use at the moment is tomand the Power of Holy Light!
But how can Imand the Power of Holy Light?
Dean McKenzie is a Necromancer, after all.
How can hemand the Power of Holy Light?
¡°Can I use tools rted to the Holy Light?¡±
Dean McKenzie took out the [Holy Light Cross], summoned a skeleton to try and approach.
But it was useless; the skeleton fell to pieces as it approached.
The [Holy Light Cross] was still there, though.
¡°Is it because this tool is one-time use, and its power is well sealed before use?¡±
Thinking about it, if this weren¡¯t the case, the skeleton holding the Cross would probably not even make it to the church, or even disintegrate as soon as it picked it up.
¡°In this case, I can¡¯t rely on the [Holy Light Cross]!¡±
Dean McKenzie pondered for a moment, quickly thought of a n, and took out three items.
They were the spring set consisting of [Holy Light Potion], [Holy Light Judgment], and [Holy Light Sword].
He had obtained these three items when he made his Third-turn.
Because they were Holy Light attribute items, Dean McKenzie stored them away at the very bottom of his inventory.
And now, he has taken these items out again.
¡°These three items might help memand the Power of Holy Light.
But I don¡¯t know if they will work. I shouldn¡¯t put all my eggs in one basket.
Here is the n, Doggy Two, spread the skeletons everywhere, and search for items infused with the Power of Holy Light throughout.
Also, search the Heretic Reformation Facility intensively.
Old Six, you go help as well!¡±
Dean McKenzie decisively gave orders to Doggy Two.
At hismand, Doggy Two proceeded, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyesnded on the three items he had just taken out.
Name: Holy Light Potion
Description: When consumed by a Holy Light profession, it can increase affinity with the Holy Light and may promote Holy Light temte. If consume by a dark system profession, it¡¯s like drinking poison.
A tenth would be enough to dissolve a Level 80 dark system profession.
Skill Book: Holy Light Judgment

Equipment Requirement: Mastery of Holy Light Judgment
¡°Can we make do with just these?¡±
Dean McKenzie tried to hold the Holy Light Sword near the church, but before he got close, his Wild Intuition started warning him of danger ahead!
Dean McKenzie was forced to stop.
¡°It seems that holding onto the Holy Light Sword is not enough, at least it needs to be equipped to be effective.
In other words, do I need to learn Holy Light Judgment?
Expecting a necromancer to learn Holy Light skills felt like a death sentence.
But if the necromancer is Dean McKenzie this might not be impossible: ¡°I possess the Dragon n Talent, which allows me to learn one skill from another profession every time I level up. So theoretically, I should be able to learn Holy Light Judgment, right?
Let¡¯s give it a try!¡±
Dean McKenzie spoke, holding up the Holy Light Judgment skill book to start learning.
[You have opened the Holy Light Judgment skill book. Detected that you have Dragon n Talent and meet the requirements to learn this skill. However, youck the energy of Holy Light within you, and even if you learn this skill, you will not be able to use it!
Do you want to learn this skill?]
¡°Learn!¡±
Whether or not it can be used is not important, just learn it first!
Dean McKenzie tapped the book lightly, the Holy Light Judgment skill book shattered in his hands, and the next moment, a data stream imbued with Holy Light rushed into Dean McKenzie¡¯s brain.
¡°Hiss!¡±
It was as refreshing as suddenly being doused with a bucket of cold water in winter.
At first it was cool, then this data stream was like millions of tiny des trying to slice through Dean McKenzie¡¯s brain, causing him tremendous pain.
Luckily, this sensation onlysted a few minutes and soon ended.
[You have learned the skill Holy Light Judgment!]
Skill: Holy Light Judgment
Skill Category: Holy Light ¡ö Arcane Art
Level: Level 1 (0/10 million)
Skill Effect: Uses the Power of Holy Light to judge the wicked, inflicting six times your total attribute points worth in damage.
There¡¯s a thirty percent chance to inflict a purification effect
ps: This skill ignores Intermediate and Advanced Traits
Dean McKenzie¡¯s current skill effect is the remaining thirty percent of the original effect after being reduced by seventy percent.
¡°Only thirty percent of the original effect is this terrifying, how much more terrifying would the full strength version be?
This skill is incredibly powerful!¡±
But whether it¡¯s powerful or not is not important, the question is, is it useful?
After learning this skill, Dean McKenzie grabbed the Holy Light Sword. [You have sessfully equipped the Holy Light Sword, equipment unlocked! ] At the same time as the system notification, the effects of the Holy Light Sword underwent drastic changes.
Equipment: Holy Light Sword
Quality: Gold
Level: Level 80
Effect 1: Holy Light Judgment Level +1
Effect 2: Holy Light Judgment Effect increased by one hundred percent
Effect 3: Every time you kill an evil target one level higher than you, you can enhance the user¡¯s total attribute points by one ten-thousandth, while increasing the next Holy Light Judgment¡¯s effect by one to twenty-five percent. (This effectsts for thirty days, and will be cleared if no second target is killed within that period)
Looking at the attributes of the Holy Light Sword, Dean McKenzie squinted his eyes.
¡°I suddenly find, this item suits me quite well!¡±
On Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, there were plenty of so-called ¡°evil targets .
If he wished, he could use Summon Skeleton to feed this sword and transform
it into an artifact.
Even if considered at the lowest standard.
Killing one enhances one percent, a hundred enhances one hundred percent, ten thousand enhances one thousand percent, a hundred thousand enhances ten thousand percent.
A hundred times the Holy Light Judgment, what kind of earth-shattering effect would it produce?
¡°Hmm, I don¡¯t know whether or not the enemy will die from one strike, but I will definitely be the first to die!¡±
Dean McKenzie smiled bitterly, his gaze falling on the hand holding the Holy Light Sword.
At this moment, the hand Dean McKenzie was using to hold the Holy Light Sword was starting to smoke.
Although Dean McKenzie can equip it, the Holy Light Sword, after all, is the Holy Light Sword. As a necromancer wielding it, he couldn¡¯t avoid taking bacsh damage.
If this damage was given a specific form, Dean McKenzie would see a stream of
1 ¨C 51,¡¯ -10¡ä, etc. floating up from his body.
The Holy Light Sword was constantly damaging Dean McKenzie, but thankfully, his physique was at a striking 6000 plus, and he could withstand this degree of damage.
Moreover, a physique of over 6000 greatly increased Dean McKenzie¡¯s regeneration rate. The damage he took from the Holy Light Sword couldn¡¯t even keep up with his recovery speed.
Which is to say, holding this sword caused Dean McKenzie nothing more than a slight difort. Nothing else was affected.
¡°Now let¡¯s see if it works!¡±
Dean McKenzie, while holding the Holy Light Sword, walked towards the Church.
This time, Wild Intuition did not sound any rms, and Dean McKenzie easily reached the side of the Church.
Dean McKenzie nced at Old Four, who had been maintaining the Guardian Shield. After a deep breath, he strode into the church.
As Dean McKenzie stepped forward, a screen of Holy Light fell onto him.
As soon as the light screen fell on him, ck smoke rose from his body, severe pain attacked him from all directions.
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth and tried to persevere.
But the farther he went, the more unbearable it became.
The farther he went forward, the greater the resistance blocking his path. Eventually, Dean McKenzie stopped one meter away from the entrance.
¡°No, I can¡¯t go in by relying on this Holy Light Sword alone, I need to add something else!¡±
Eventually, Dean McKenzie had no choice but to retreat.
As Dean McKenzie exited the entrance, the injuries on him began to heal rapidly.

Trantor: 549690339
Less than five minutester, Dean McKenzie¡¯s wounds from the Holy Light Burning hadpletely healed.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie simply took off his clothes and, holding the Holy Light Sword, continued his attempts.
¡°If Crohn can improve Holy Light Resistance by repeatedly enduring the Holy Light, I can do the same too. That¡¯s how I got the Holy Light Resistance ¨C F. Perhaps a few more attempts will increase my resistance, allowing me to enter outright.
Even if I can¡¯t enter, enhancing my resistance will still be beneficial for me!
Let¡¯s do it!¡±
Grinding his teeth, Dean McKenzie continually threw himself at the Holy Light Church.
At first, Dean McKenzie could only endure for about 30 seconds and had to exit to recover for five minutes.
With his persistent entries and exits, the time Dean McKenzie could tolerate gradually increased.
From an initial 30 seconds, it increased to 40 seconds, one minute, and then two minutes.
Endurance was a matter of practice; some things couldn¡¯t be changed and some were simply a matter ofcking exercise. A few more training sessions could enhance it.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s few hours of training surpass the ten days of previous Holy Light Illumination.
¡°You have improved the trait Holy Light Resistance and currently you are at Level E!¡±
Holy Light Resistance ¨C E (Increases resistance to Holy Light by ten percent)
Increase resistance by five percentage points, not bad at all.
Just as Dean McKenzie prepared to keep going, the system alert was refreshed again.
¡°You have discovered the building core of the Heretic Reformation Facility, Heart of Holy Light ¨C low level. You have gained 100 Exploration Points!¡±
As soon as this system alert was refreshed, Dean McKenzie felt a severe blow to his skeleton, causing arge portion of it to go cold.
Fortunately, Doggy Two and all others were still alive.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie clearly felt a Holy Light lighting up in the direction of the Heretic Reformation Facility.
¡°I have a premonition that we may have found the key item!¡±
Dean McKenzie hurriedly rushed towards the Heretic Reformation Facility.
Then, at the center of the Heretic Reformation Facility, Dean McKenzie saw something that resembled a heart and was embedded in the wall, flickering with Holy Light.
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell on the object, its characteristics appeared before him.
Name: Heart of Holy Light ¨C Low level
Description: Material, can be used for medicine, equipment creation, and building construction.
PS: Please be aware that, given your current resistance, extracting it from its current location no doubtes with a significant cost!
¡°A significant cost, huh?
Let¡¯s see how significant it is!¡±
As Dean McKenzie stated this, he immediately approached and seized the Heart of Holy Light.
The moment Dean McKenzie got hold of it, the Heart of Holy Light erupted with a strong light that directly assaulted his entire body.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s body felt as if it were being filled with sulfuric acid.
It was so painful that it was indescribable.
However, Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, bearing the pain as he slowly removed the Heart of Holy Light.
Upon extracting the Heart of Holy Light, Dean McKenzie felt as though his entire body was melting, seeming only one step away from death.
Hence, Dean McKenzie hurriedly let go of the Heart of Holy Light and activated his enhanced Physique trait¡¯s automatic recovery.
¡°You have activated the trait Enhanced Physique. Your injuries have healed!¡±
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s trait was activated, his injuries quickly healed, even bringing some unexpected surprise.
¡°Your trait Holy Light Resistance has improved. The current trait level is D level!¡±
Holy Light Resistance ¨C D (Increases resistance to Holy Light by twenty-five percent)

Chapter 205:148 kills, level skyrocketing
Trantor: 549690339
After securing the Heart of Holy Light, Dean McKenzie quickly hurried towards the Holy Light Church.
In no time, Dean McKenzie returned to the Holy Light Church.
This time, with the Heart of Holy Light in one hand, and the Holy Light Sword in the other, he effortlessly strode up to the church¡¯s main entrance and stepped inside.
[You¡¯ve entered the eerie Holy Light Church, earning 10 exploration points!]
¡°Finally made it inside, wasn¡¯t easy¡ Wait, why is it like this in here?¡±
No sooner had Dean McKenzie stepped foot inside, than he was shocked by the state of things.
As soon as he walked in, a repugnant stench of decaying corpses hit him.
Pushing open the church door, Dean McKenzie saw the church floor littered with rotting corpses.
These skeletons, judging by their attire, must have been ordinary citizens of Fern City.
The number was far beyond expectation!
The church, norger than ten thousand square meters, was jam-packed with tens of thousands of corpses!
¡°How can this be?
How did everyone in Fern City die here?¡±
Without thinking, Dean McKenzie cast the Appraisal Skill on the dead bodies.
Name: Corpse
Description: This victim seemed to have died during a certain ritual, giving their life to seal something.
¡°Ritual? Seal?¡±
Dean McKenzie blinked, a horrifying thought dawned upon him.
¡°Could it be the evil deeds of the Holy Light Assembly?¡±
Just then, a sound drew Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention.
¡°Thud! Thud! Thud!¡±
Turning his head, Dean McKenzie saw a woman not too far from the church entrance, repeatedly headbutting the main door.
She had resorted to such a method because both her arms were missing.
There were blood stains sttered all over the door from her banging her head against it.
Dean McKenzie tossed out another Appraisal Skill.
Name: Corpse Burdened with a Mother¡¯s Determination
Description: Obsessed with finding her child, she miraculously found a way out, butcked the strength to open the door to leave.
Reading the attributes, and then looking at the woman, Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart twinged.
He subconsciously went over to help her open the door.
But even though the door was opened, the woman still couldn¡¯t get out.
It was as if some invisible force had pinned her inside the church.
Simultaneously, in Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, the woman¡¯s attributes refreshed. [As a sacrifice to the ritual, until the ritual is broken, she cannot leave the church!]
Seeing the refreshed attributes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face turned gloomy.
His gaze subconsciously drifted towards the depths of the Holy Light Church.
His Wild Intuition was subtly activated, warning Dean McKenzie of the great horror within.
After Dean McKenzie had confirmed that he could open the Land of Bone inside the church, and summon his skeleton, he did so without hesitation.
Dean McKenzie directly summoned the skeleton and had it explore deep into the church.
Soon, the system prompt refreshed.
[You¡¯ve discovered the [Church¡¯s Sealed Object], earning 100 exploration points, totaling up to 1370 exploration points!]
Seeing this system prompt, and feeling that his skeleton hadn¡¯t suffered mass casualties, Dean McKenzie finally proceeded inward.
He effortlessly strolled further into the church, arriving at its deepest part where he saw a skeletal hand.
Narrowing his eyes, he cast an Appraisal Skill.
Name: Crohn Merlin The Dead ¡¯s Left Hand
Description: A bishop of the Holy Light Assembly, using the souls of thirty thousand people, performed an extravagant ritual to seal the Wraith Scourge power of it inside a container.
PS: Although this is a mere left hand, the six churches of Fern City are interconnected. If you attack one, you will face the power of all the sealed objects in all six churches.
¡°A bishop of the Holy Light Assembly? Thirty thousand souls? Crohn¡¯s left hand? Wraith Scourge Power!¡±
With this information before his eyes, Dean McKenzie could piece together the event¡¯s truth.
¡°So, the Holy Light Assembly is behind this?
They used thirty thousand lives to seal the power of Crohn¡¯s Wraith Scourge?p>
No, not thirty thousand, that¡¯s just for sealing one hand. There are five other ces, at least a hundred and eighty thousand conservatively.
To casually sacrifice a hundred and eighty thousand lives for a mere ritual, the Holy Light Assembly sure does things on a grand scale!¡±
Dean McKenzie said coldly, with his view of the Holy Light Assembly dropping to the level of the Bloody Church.
While speaking, he waved his hand, and his skeletons charged forward under hismand towards the altar that sealed Crohn¡¯s left hand.
As the skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand surged towards the altar, a horrifying power surged out from Crohn¡¯s Left Hand.
In an instant, the advancing skeletons werepletely obliterated.
Their parts scattered.
As the skeleton parts scattered, all their bones levitated and flew towards the center of the altar.
After that, those nearly a hundred skeletons converged.
Soon, an incredibly huge skeleton appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Name: Skeleton (Stitched Monster) imbued with Sealed Wraith Power and one hundred and eighty thousand souls
Quality: Perfect (Stitched)
Level: Level 81 (Same level as the entity that attacked the altar)
Trait: Undying (B-grade) (You cannot defeat it through ordinary means..
B-grade and below death-inducing traits will not affect it at all)

Attack: 964350
Defense: 191550
Spirit Power: 3.75 million
Skills: ???
Ps: You can try attacking this spot with the power of holy light
Looking at these attributes in front of him, Dean McKenzie is bbergasted.
¡°This thing, you¡¯re telling me it¡¯s a fourth-turn?
Even a fifth-turn might not necessarily have attributes this foul, right?¡±
Tens of thousands of strength, a few tens of thousands physique, nearly a million based attack, and over tens of thousands in defense.
And those two traits, it¡¯s simply despair-inducing.
just looking at the attributes, you know it pretty much can¡¯t be defeated.
¡°Also, don¡¯t I find these attributes familiar?¡±
Dean McKenzie suddenly recalls something, opens up Doggy Two¡¯s attributes and takes a look, isn¡¯t this just Doggy Two¡¯s basic attributes multiplied by 10?
¡°Was it made using Doggy Two as a temte?
It couldn¡¯t also have copied Doggy Two¡¯s skills right?¡±
A sense of ill-omen arises in Dean s heart.
The fact proves that Dean¡¯s premonition is urate.
Almost at the same time, a special fluctuation erupts, Dean¡¯s consciousness bes bewildered instantly, simultaneously, the skeleton by Dean¡¯s side is disconnected from Doggy Two in an instance and bes allied to the
Stitched Monster.
Apparently, the adversary has also replicated Doggy Two¡¯s skills.
This skill, isn¡¯t it Doggy Two¡¯s ¡°King of Bones ?
Luckily, it copied the basic version of the ¡°King of Bones¡±.
If it had copied the enhanced version of ¡°King of Bones¡±, the attached level 5 ¡°Dragon¡¯s Might¡± would instantly inflict the spirit damage of strength plus spirit times 0.8.
Tens of thousands of spirit damage, with one hit Dean would be finished.
Even though it¡¯s only the basic ¡°King of Bones¡±, Dean is feeling distressed, his brain is in a daze, by the time Deanes around, the monster had already arrived in front of him, that huge bone foot raised high, and violently delivers a destructive heavy strike.
Tens of thousands of strength, 960,000 base attack.
The damage casually exceeds five million.
This attack, which Doggy Two had to save for uses as an ultimate move, the Stitched Monster directly treats it like an ordinary Auto Attack and is furiously slugging towards McKenzie.
Fortunately, Dean is rtively cautious, Old Four¡¯s ¡°Guardian Shield¡± is always
on.
The skill that Dean spent tens of thousands of Gold Coins to enhance now
shows its effect.
Several million attacks fall on Dean, who remains unscathed.
The Stitched Monster immediately activates ¡°Bone Eruption¡±. The attacks explode to fifteen million within an instant.
Still using this attack as Auto Attack.
Every time an attacknds, the entire church trembles.
Fortunately, Old Four¡¯s ¡°Guardian Shield¡± is indeed strong.
This attack still can¡¯t break Dean¡¯s defense.
But even though Dean is safe, he is only on the defensive.
Old Eight sees this situation, and his Pupil Fire shes ¨C appearing behind the Stitched Monster in no time and shing down at the joint of its other foot!
With a ¡°crack¡±, stitched monster¡¯s joint shatters, and the massive bone frame immediately copses.
Dean sees this and his eyes brighten: ¡°Nicely done!¡±
Dean¡¯s praise seems a bit detrimental.
Upon hearing his owner praise him, Old Eight somehow gets carried away and foolishly grins at Dean in hiscency.
The Stitched Monster turns around and ps him, sending Old Eight flying. Lucky Old Eight has invincibility, otherwise, this single strike could have ended its life.
Dean shakes his head seeing this: ¡°How do I feel that this Old Eight is bing more and more like a Siberian husky?
No can do, I need to correct itter!¡±
As he directed, Dean McKenzie summoned Doggy Two and Doggy Seven.
He himself retreated far away, leaving the battlefield to Doggy Two and the others!
Bone Throne!
Upon its arrival, Doggy Two immediately used Bone Throne on the Stitched Monster.
The authentic and enhanced ¡°Bone Throne¡± was extraordinary, casting a dark shadow over the Stitched Monster¡¯s Pupil Fire.
At the same time, Old Sevenunched Fearless Charge, delivering a precise strike to the Stitched Monster¡¯s skull.
Although the enemy had over ten thousand attacks, it couldn¡¯t withstand Old Seven¡¯s blow and had its head blown up in a single strike.
However, for the Stitched Monster with its Undying special trait, having its head blown up wasn¡¯t a big deal.
In an instant, the Stitched Monster¡¯s exploded head was restored.
Its form transformed on the spot, taking the appearance of Old Seven, and initiated a Fearless Charge towards Old Seven!
Just as it began, Doggy Two who was standing in front of it lunged forward with a Destruction Strike, colliding with it head-on.
The strike blew up the Stitched Monster on impact.
Doggy Two also endured a frontal strike from the enemy, but it was blocked by
the Bone Throne.
The blown-up Stitched Monster recovered again.
Its Undying trait was quite revolting, but also made Dean McKenzie envious. Dean had figured out that although this creature¡¯s defense wasn¡¯t strong and it wasn¡¯t hard to kill, the difficultyy in the fact that it was Undying and could continuously resurrect itself.
Even after being blown up, it could revive at any time.
On the other hand, Dean¡¯s side wasn¡¯t as lucky. Any mistake would certainly result in death.
But of course, there were still ways to break through this predicament.
¡°The level of this monster should be equivalent to the level of the one attacking the altar.
Meaning, if I withdraw Doggy Two and the others and step forward myself, I may only have to face a level 74 monster.
At level 74, with ten times the attribute points and without an Intermediate Trait, I should be able to take it on!
Let¡¯s try this, Old Eight!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, Old Eight, who had just been sent flying, reappeared behind the Stitched Monster, once again blowing it up with a single slice of his sword.
Then, taking advantage of the brief moment when the Stitched Monster was reviving, Dean¡¯s skeletonspletely retreated, Dean himself withdrew his skeletons and left the church immediately.
After exiting the church, Dean McKenzie began to get busy.
in one hand, he held the Holy Light Sword, while summoning skeletons with the other. He had Doggy Two bring the skeletons to him, one after another, for him to eliminate with a single strike of his sword.
[You killed an evil level 4 Skeleton, triggering your Holy Light Sword¡¯s third effect!
Increased all attributes by 0.01%
The next Holy Light Judgment will have its power increased by 1%1 [You used Extraction on the Skeleton and gained 233 attribute points!] Dean McKenzie could say that he had very much maximized the use of the Summon Skeleton skill.
After ughtering 1000 skeletons, rising to an increase of 10% in attributes and a 1000% increase in the power of the next Holy Light Judgment, Dean was forced to stop.
He had to stop ¨C enhancing it to such an extent, the Holy Light Sword¡¯s radiating Holy Light was already causing a great strain on Dean. If he continued to enhance it, Dean felt that he might not be able to hold the sword, much less anything else.
¡°The D-rank Holy Light Resistance can only make it to this point, but even so, this level of strengthening should already be enough. Now, let¡¯s see if this bug can be settled!¡±
Subsequently, Dean reentered the abnormal church and returned to the altar. Seeing the altar returning to calm, Dean ¨C after ensuring that he was still under the effect of the Guardian Shield ¨C walked towards the altar andunched an attack!
At the attack from Dean, the Stitched Monster from within the altar appeared once again.
This time, the monster had reached level 74, its attribute points straightaway ten times those of Dean.
However, Dean, looking at the enemy¡¯s exaggerated attributes, couldn¡¯t help but crack a smile.
¡°It¡¯s powerful indeed, but unfortunately, it¡¯s about to be exterminated!¡± As Dean spoke, he drew close to its face while enduring a continuous stream of Bone Fangs and Bone Spears. He held the Holy Light Sword high above. Then, without even using the Holy Light Judgment, Dean stabbed the Appraisal Skill-identified weakness straight with his sword.
Upon the sword¡¯s descent, the Stitched Monster froze on the spot, immediately after, the Holy Light moved through the Stitched Monster¡¯s body. As the Holy Light roamed, the Stitched Monster¡¯s body exploded into a magnificent spectacle.
The system prompt was updated at this moment.
[You¡¯ve sessfully in the ¡®Skeleton (Stitched Monster) possessing sealed Undead Power and 180,000 souls¡¯. Your level has increased to 80!] [You¡¯ve gained two Talent Grant Quotas, currently you have 6 remaining!] Before Dean could take joy in the good news, screams, groans, sounds of agony, and whispers flooded his mind. These were the cries of 180,000 unjustly killed souls.
At this moment, the true challenge of destroying the altar was just beginning¡.
Chapter 207:149 The Legacy of Crohns Soul
Chapter 207:149 The Legacy of Crohn¡¯s Soul
Trantor: 549690339
Deep within the Unusual Holy Light Church in Fern City.
With the fall of the enormous Stitched Monster, the soul-shattering wails of 180,000 tortured souls were unleashed, yet again sending Dean McKenzie deep into his own Conscious Space.
However, this was far from a good thing.
Dean¡¯s consciousness was like a tiny t boat, nearly obliterated in an instant by the stormy seaposed of the desperations of 180,000 souls.
Indeed, had it not been for Dean¡¯s Spiritual Power being as high as ten thousand, coupled with his Mental Fortitude, a C-level characteristic, his consciousness would have been dispersed on the spot.
And this was the most insidious part of the ritual before him.
The initiator of this terrible ritual sacrificed the lives of 180,000 people to seal Crohn¡¯s corpse and the power of the Wraith Scourge.
And trapped the souls of these 180,000 people within it forever.
Once someone ruptures the firstyer of the ward, the colossal Stitched Monster, the souls of these 180,000 tortured spirits form the second line of defense.
They would burst out instantly, and if the target¡¯s consciousness was obliterated, they would be assimted by the 180,000 tortured souls and be one of them.
Despite Dean remaining resolute at the moment, not losing his consciousness to the first wave of spiritual assault from the 180,000 tortured souls, his current condition was far from good.
Thements of 180,000 souls kept charging at Dean like tidal waves.
The wave after wave of wailing caused significant damage to Dean.
What was even more terrifying was that the wailing was not all Dean had to face!
¡°The power of Holy Light? Are you a Holy Light Knight? I believed so faithfully in you, in the Holy Light, why are you doing this to me?¡±
¡°Please, spare my child! I can endure being trapped here forever, but please let my child go!¡±
¡°This is the Holy Light¡¯s test for us, hangin there, and we will embrace the Holy Light!¡±
180,000 tormented souls, 180,000 different voices.
Some were hysterical, some pleaded miserably, some were filled with resentment, some advised with endless patience.
But what wasmon amongst all of them was their desire to negotiate with Dean, to pour out their hearts to him.
Considering the current state Dean was in, these 180,000 souls existed in his consciousness space.
This meant that everyone couldmunicate deeply with him.
This forced Dean to bear 180,000 different voices, 180,000 different emotions.
This was undoubtedly killing him.
Dean¡¯s spirit and consciousness could not hold up for long in this state.
Shortly after, Dean found himself slipping towards ruination, towards copse!
As Dean¡¯s consciousness gradually crumbled, gradually copsed, a long sigh resonated.
¡°Did not expect to meet you again, kiddo, it¡¯s been a while!¡±
Apanying this voice a gust of wind seemed to blow at Dean¡¯s side.
In an instant, all the noise surrounding Dean was blown away.
Peace returned after a long absence.
For the first time, Dean realized what a blissful state tranquility was.
Dean was so bewildered that he pondered it for a while before he woke up from that state. He found an unfamiliar man standing before him at that moment.
A man dressed in a luxurious long robe, looking to be in his forties, and with an unusually warm demeanor.
Crohn!
Dean recognized him instantly. After all, part of his memory was with Dean!
The moment he noticed him, Dean instantly went on alert.
After all, this entity before him had once schemed against him.
¡°Sorry aboutst time.¡±
Dean¡¯s vignt posture made Crohn scratch his nose.
Crohn¡¯s apology didn¡¯t lessen Dean¡¯s vignce.
However, considering his current environment, unless he gave up the mission and left, Crohn seemed to have be his lifeline just as he had appeared abruptly and helped him break free from the barrage of 180,000 tortured souls.¡±
With some hesitation, Dean greeted him, ¡°Weren¡¯t you dead?¡±
¡°I should have been, but Holy Karen saved me!¡±
¡°Holy Karen?¡±
¡°The Archbishop of the Holy Light Church in Fern City. The ritual you are witnessing now was presided over by him. He had two purposes for doing all this: one was to deal with my Wraith Scourge and the other was to resurrect me?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t quite understand!¡±
Dean squinted, ¡°Why would he rescue you?¡±
Crohn replied, ¡°Of course, to get a clue to something from me!¡±
Dean squinted his eyes, ¡°That so-called Heart of the sphemer fragment?¡±
¡°You know? Oh right, Elisa has a fragment as well¡¡±
¡°Wait!¡±
Just as Crohn was saying this, Dean¡¯s face changed abruptly, ¡°What you just said, he saved you to get the Crystal Heart from you, did he seed?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, but I think, he probably did!¡±
Otherwise he will never let go!¡±
¡°So, the matter of Elisa having the Crystal Heart¡¡±
Crohn nodded: ¡°Chances are, he knows it, too!¡±
Hearing this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face grew gloomy.
This was not good news.
Judging from the other party¡¯s actions, that Holy Karen is a person who would definitely pay all costs to achieve his goals, once he knew about Elisa having the Crystal Heart, regardless of whether the whole Pink City would be razed to the ground.
Looking at the grim-faced Dean McKenzie, Crohn also realized something, nodding again saying: ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
¡°Apologizing now is of no use, I want to know if there is any way to solve my current problem!¡±
¡°Of course, there is a way!¡±
Crohn exined: ¡°This ritual is for the resurrection of the one who sealed me, implying, I am the absolute center of this ritual, once I die the ritual would copse due tock of support. Then you can untangle yourself from this state.¡±
Upon hearing Crohn¡¯s n, Dean Mckenzie¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but roll.
¡°It¡¯s a good n, but I don¡¯t seem to have anyway to carry it out!¡±
¡°You can¡¯t, but I can!¡±
Crohn looked at Dean McKenzie: ¡°Do you remember the ¡®Rebirth of the Dead¡¯ spell I used on you?¡±
¡°You want to do it again?¡±
¡°No, that spell can only be used once, if it fails, I cannot use it again!
But even if I cannot use it, you can!
You can reverse it and use it on me, like this!¡±
As Crohn spoke, he stepped forward.
Dean McKenzie, wary, wanted to step back, but found he could not, a powerful force had locked him in ce.
While Dean McKenzie was immobilized, Crohn approached him, grabbed Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand and lightly pressed it against his own forehead.
¡°What are you trying to do?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s face turned gloomy, but he was not in panic.
After all, he still has thisst resort, he can retreat if necessary!
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level is already at 80, which already meets his preset goals!
However, Dean McKenzie did not leave immediately, but instead held his hand back, looking at Crohn, wanting to see what trick he was ying.
The next second, a system message refreshed before his eyes.
[Crohn Merlin The Dead (Soul) has used the ¡®Rebirth of the Dead¡¯ spell on you, the skill failed and bacsh urred!]
The system instruction refreshed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s sight.
Then, Dean McKenzie saw Crohn¡¯s soul be dim, and then a surge of power flowed from Crohn into Dean McKenzie¡¯s body.
As soon as this power entered Dean McKenzie¡¯s body, Crohn¡¯s gentle voice sounded again: ¡°This bacsh will cause my soul and spiritual power to flow towards you!
If you choose to enhance your spirit, your spirit will drastically increase at this moment.
However, I do not suggest you do this; one¡¯s spirit is better to be one¡¯s own.
I suggest that you can use my soul energy to enhance a skill!¡±
Before Crohn¡¯s words had fallen, the system message refreshed again before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Crohn¡¯s soul power has been poured into you. How do you choose to use this power?]
While the system message refreshed, a properties panel appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
Above it, his [Spirit] and all wraith-based skills were shing.
Seeing the scene before his eyes, Dean McKenzie finally believed the Crohn in front of him really was sacrificing himself, which made Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze towards himplex.
¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. This is my apology.
For some reason, my mental state is problematic, leading me to do what I did to you, to do what I did to this city.
But in any case, the error was mine, I must bear the responsibility.
If I stay alive, the souls of the 180,000 people will be forever imprisoned here, decaying with me, and I can¡¯t bear this guilt.
I also don¡¯t want to be forever imprisoned here, so I choose to end myself this way!
This is for them, for you, and for myself!¡±
Crohn¡¯s bacsh came quite fiercely, and his figure also quickly became thin.
After speaking, his whole person was in a translucent state.
Looking at Crohn in this state, Dean McKenzie was somewhat silent.
After all, in his consciousness space, he could feel Crohn¡¯s emotions.
Sorrounded by regret and shame, Crohn really wanted to use this method to atone for his sins.
Dean McKenzie then thought of the diary he saw deep in the heretic reformation facility, after a moment of silence he finally said: ¡°This isn¡¯t entirely your fault, if I were you, if I had experienced what you experienced, I might have gone even madder!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s words left Crohn startled, he seemed not to have expected that at the end of his life he would receive such forgiveness, he couldn¡¯t help but have tearful eyes: ¡°Thankyou, and, goodbye forever!¡±
¡°Pop!¡±
The next second, Crohn burst like a balloon, a massive amount of soul energy and information bombarded Dean McKenzie¡
Chapter 208:150 Gifts from Crohn
Chapter 208:150 Gifts from Crohn
Trantor: 549690339
Fern City, Holy Light Church.
With the start of the shattering of Crohn¡¯s soul, Dean McKenzie began to have a long dream.
He dreamt of being raised by a Necromancer from a young age, learning with an open mind and gradually growing into a gentle necromancer.
Because he disliked toying with souls, he primarily focused on bone and summoning spells.
At the age of to he became a Necromancer Apprentice, and a full-fledged Necromancer by 12 years old.
By 16 he had be a Wraith Controller, a Necromancy Magician by 20, and by 25, a master of the undead.
After that, he spent fifteen full years seeking the heritage to ascend further.
However, to progress further, he had to take the lives of 9999 people.
Faced with a dilemma between the lives of innocent people and the much- desired heritage, he ultimately chose to halt his progress.
He settled in Fern City, trying to pass down Necromancy, employing various methods to earn money, and revising his studies.
After a decade or two, he aimed to overthrow all he had learned, just to bypass the preliminary condition of 9999 human lives.
Then, the Church of Holy Light arrived.
Dreaming Dean McKenzie was schemed against and imprisoned in the Church of Holy Light¡¯s Heretic Reformation Facility.
Punishment and torture followed.
In this dream, Dean experienced a round of reformation and torture.
Despite being in a dream, and despite Dean being vaguely aware it wasn¡¯t about him,
He couldn¡¯t help but be engrossed and develop a profound murderous intent.
Then, Dean saw his own debut in the dream.
He saw Crohn¡¯s madness at the time and the struggle he went through when attacking himself.
He viewed the brief astonishment of Crohn after the failure of the ¡°Rebirth of the Undead¡± and how he calmly faced his death afterwards.
Then, the already reconciled to die Crohn was abruptly awakened.
Death and rebirth should be a joyous asion.
But when the reborn Crohn realized what he might have gone through and was surrounded by 180,000 wronged spirits, agony and guilt continuously burned him like raging mes.
On top of that, the spirits incessantly impacted his consciousness.
It was difficult for Dean to imagine the despair and suffering Crohn might have encountered.
Crohn, however, didn¡¯t allow despair and pain to defeat him, but rose from it instead.
He began trying to make contact with each of the wronged spirits.
He tried to seek forgiveness from the spirits, even if it was just from one.
But the harder he tried, the more despair he felt.
Out of the 180,000 wronged spirits, none had its consciousness, only harboring theirst obsession before death.
When Crohn was about to breakdown, Dean arrived!
He walked into his despair, bing thest straw for his salvation.
Which is why he made the decision to give up his life toplete his redemption without any hesitation.
At the end of the dream, Dean was looking at the words he had uttered.
¡°None of this is entirely your fault. If I were you, if I had gone through what you¡¯ve been through, I might be even more crazy!¡±
Only after fully experiencing the entire dream, Dean realized the sort of emotional impact the constion must have imparted on Crohn.
It pushed Crohn to make a frantic decision before his death.
He opened his arms, harnessing a mysterious power that covered the 180,000 wronged spirits, allowing them to dissipate with a smile.
Crohn, who hadn¡¯t killed a person his whole life, decided to carry the sin of killing 180,000 wronged spirits in the end.
The dream abruptly ended at this point, and the system prompts followed suit, continuously appearing on the screen.

Effect: This skill can attract resentful souls to enhance it.
Using this skill on a target guided by these souls can cause a massive spirit attack on the opponent directly.
Enemies killed by this skill will be a part of it.
Skill Damage: ???
Reading these continuous system prompts, as well as the final skill that appears,
Dean McKenzie was profoundly shocked.
He never expected Crohn to give him such an enormous surprise.
He straight up raised almost all of Dean McKenzie¡¯s skills by a minimum of 2 levels!
With this enhancement, almost all of Dean McKenzie¡¯s enhancement skills have arrived at the threshold for further enhancement.
Unbelievably, Crohn even gave birth to a new skill for him.
Furthermore, this skill shows an unknown damage rating.
However, although the damage of ¡°Soul Curse¡± is unknown, Dean McKenzie was certain that whatever lies beneath the question mark is an extremely terrifying entity.
But how horrifying is it?
Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t know until he used it.
As the system prompt continued to update, Dean McKenzie¡¯s consciousness gradually regained rity.
Outside the Holy Light Church, Dean McKenzie, standing on the altar, simultaneously opened his eyes.
As soon as he regained consciousness, Dean McKenzie immediately noticed that the altar he was on, or even the whole church, even the entire Fern City was trembling.
Before Dean McKenzie could react, the bony hand on the altar suddenly moved towards him at high speed.
This movement was so fast that Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t dodge it.
He could only watch as the bone hand arrived in front of him, then passed through him into his Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s spirit then entered and found that the bony hand disappeared into thin air after entering the Land of Bone.
Simultaneously, another system prompt refreshed.
[Your Mysterious Realm {Land of Bone} absorbed {Crohn¡¯s Left Hand}, and the foundation of your realm has improved by 10%!]
At the same time, a progress bar appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie knew instantly the purpose of this bar. Once the progress bar is full, his portable Mysterious Realm [Land of Bone] could be upgraded again.
This progress bar lit up and quickly filled a huge chunk.
Crohn¡¯s body incorporated into Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone from all directions, pushing the progress bar to 80% in a single gulp!
At the same time, the system prompt refreshed again.
[You have sessfullypleted the task [City of the Wraith-Fern]. Do you choose to end the instance ahead of schedule?
Initiate this instance¡¯s reward settlement?]
Without any hesitation, Dean McKenzie refused and said firmly, ¡°This instance can¡¯t stop here!¡±
At the same time, his gaze fell on the body of the stitched monster at his feet.
ording to his attributes, it had been less than a minute from when he killed the stitched monster.
In other words, the several years that Dean McKenzie perceived to have passed in his conscious space were only a few seconds in reality.
For the first time, Dean McKenzie experienced what is referred to in the old saying as ¡®a dream in a dream¡¯.
This suited Dean McKenzie perfectly well.
In that case, the body of the stitched monster would not be wasted by Dean McKenzie.
To put it bluntly, Dean McKenzie was dying to get a hold of the stitched monster¡¯s Undying trait.
¡°Finally, I can get this trait. But, where should I use it?¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at the stitched monster, then checked his attributes panel.
To be precise, he browsed his skills on the attribute panel, and even inspected Doggy Two and others in an attempt to find the most suitable power supply. Soon, Dean McKenzie set his eyes on a particr skill!
¡°This skill will do. The Undying trait used on this skill, if sessful, will bring an unprecedented increase in my power!¡±
With that, Dean Mckenzie got to work immediately!
[You began to enhance the skill {Skeleton Domination}. Sessful! You now have 150 minutes for skill enhancement!]
[You have sessfully extracted the talent from {Sealed Wraith Power and 180,000 Souls Skeleton (Stitched Monster)}, and received the Perfect Essence {Undying}, also gaining 500 attribute points!]
[You¡¯ve applied talent extraction on {Elite Skeleton} (Elite) (level 85) and gained 256 attribute points, as well as a Elite Essence! ]
[You spent 2,000 Gold Coins, fusing the Perfect Essence {Undying} into the skill {Skeleton Domination}!]
[You consumed 12,000 Gold Coins, directing 300,000 attribute points into {Skeleton Domination}, enhancement directed towards skeleton strength! ]

Outside Fern City!
A squadron of the Holy Knight Legion stationed on the edge has suddenly be alert.
¡°What¡¯s going on?
The ritual inside has been disrupted!
All troops on standby!¡±
At themand, this squad of about a hundred Holy Knights set up their formation, guarding the city gate of Fern City.
Not long after, they saw arge fire burning inside Fern City.
Less than three hourster, the city gate of Fern City was opened.
Then, the Holy Knight Legion saw a man walk out from inside Fern City.
¡°AThird-turn Necromancer?¡±
Almost the moment Dean McKenzie stepped out, the chief of the knight order defending Fern City recognized Dean¡¯s power level at a nce.
At the same time, it was the same on Dean¡¯s side!
¡°A Fifth-turn Holy Knight?¡±
Dean did not even have to use his Appraisal Skill to see that the Holy Knight Legion in front of him had an average level of Fourth-turn, and the leader was a being at the Fifth-turn level.
However, this Fifth-turn felt slightly weaker to Dean.
He felt none of the pressure he experienced while confronting the two Fifth-turns from the Bloody Church earlier. He did not know whether it was because themander¡¯s own strength was insufficient or he himself had gotten stronger.
Dean even felt that if it was this level of Fifth-turn, he should be able to defeat them!
¡°Capture him and interrogate him about the situation inside!¡±
The two sides faced each other, and themander of the Holy Knight Order immediately gave the order.
A Fourth-turn Holy Knight near him immediately rushed towards Dean.
Themander of the Holy Knight Order overlooked Dean and continued to look towards Fern City.
Clearly, thismander did not believe that Dean was the key to the changes in Fern City.
A mere Third-turn Necromancer absolutely did not have this kind of ability!
He thought that there must still be someone inside.
Then!
¡°Splurge!¡±
A muffled sound of pration was heard.
The Holy Knight who had just charged towards Dean was pierced right through.
Themander was startled, only then did he notice that a skeleton cavalryman had appeared in front of Dean at some point.
His teammate had been impaled by that skeleton cavalryman.
At the same time, the system prompt in front of Dean was updated.
[Your Wraith Servant {Doggy Seven} in {Holy Knight} (Excellent) (Fourth-turn), his trait {Corrupt Holy Light} activated, all attributes increased by one percent permanently!]
In the system prompt, Doggy Seven¡¯s skeleton emitted ck holy light.
This ck, decay-filled holy light instantly attracted the attention of the Holy Knight Order.
¡°Corrupted Holy Knight?
Kill him!¡±
As Holy Knights, what they couldn¡¯t tolerate the most was the existence of Corrupted Holy Knights.
For them, the existence of every Corrupted Holy Knight was a kind of humiliation. Therefore, as long as the Corrupted Holy Knights dared to appear before their eyes, they would not hesitate to y them.
The leading Fifth-turn Holy Knightmander charged forward without hesitation.
Underneath him, the Holy Light shed, directly turning into a Holy Light and crashed towards Doggy Seven.
The momentum was unstoppable and extremely fierce!
Facing the chargingmander, Doggy Seven did not hesitate at all and directlyunched a Fearless Charge to sh with him.
Seeing this, themander of the Holy Knight Order smirked.
A Fourth-turn facing a Fifth-turn head-on,mendable courage!
But questionable intelligence!
Could a Fourth-turn Corrupted Holy Knight directly contend with him, a Fifth-turn being?
¡°Boom!¡±
Themander sneered and the two sides collided.
At the moment of the collision, themander felt first-hand how terrifying the Fourth-turn knight in front of him was.
The overall attributes of Doggy Seven almost rivalled him, a Fifth-turn Rare Temte being, and were even slightly stronger.
What was more terrifying was that Doggy Seven had the trait {Corrupt Holy Light}, which doubled the damage he received.
After one blow, themander¡¯s armor was directly shattered, and a small hole was even poked in the position of his heart.
¡°Strong, but victory will ultimately be mine!¡±
Themander revealed a triumphant smile.
Although he suffered, the opponent was in a worse state, directly blown to pieces.
He even couldn¡¯t help but take a nce at Doggy Seven¡¯s exploded skeleton when he turned his head. However, at that moment, the roar from the Bone King behind him left themander in a daze. By the time he reacted, a Silver Long Spear had pierced directly through his heart.
The one holding the long spear was, surprisingly, Doggy Seven, who he had just blown up!
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven) in {Commander of the Holy Knight Order} (Rare) (Level 101), [Corrupt Holy Light] activated, his all attributes increased by one percent! ]
The system prompt refreshed in front of Dean.
Just as Dean anticipated, this Fifth-turn Holy Knight fell under his control with ease.
Aftering out of Fern City, Dean¡¯s strength indeed surged significantly.
Of course, an even more crucial point was Doggy Seven¡¯s attribute countered the Holy Light Profession.
Attack increased by one hundred percent, every time it killed a being of the same turn level, it could increase one percent of permanent attributes.
Dean wouldn¡¯t let such a good opportunity slip away!
¡°Continue, Doggy Seven, devour all the remaining Holy Knights!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Seven pulled out the long spear from themander¡¯s chest and turned to charge into the Holy Knight Order!
Doggy Seven was a Perfect Temte Fourth-turn to begin with, which was much stronger than these Excellent Temte Holy Knights.
Not to mention, under the strengthened version of Dean¡¯s {Domination of Skeleton}, all attributes increased by three hundred percent, and additionally added 3000 attack and defense.
On top of that, Doggy Seven¡¯s damage against the Holy Light Profession increased by one hundred percent.

Trantor: 549690339 |
Even the rare temte of a fifth-turn Holy Knight couldn¡¯t directlypete without losing. However, its power was undeniable.
Fighting these fourth-turn knights was as easy as slicing through vegetables. Swiftly, the entire Holy Light Knight brigade was massacred by Doggy Seven alone.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven) permanently increases attributes by
100%, current attributes are:
Strength: 11998, Agility: 6780, Physique: 11109, Spirit: 9109
Attack: 119980
Defense: 111090
Spirit Power: 500,000]
This is just the base attribute points, not including Dean McKenzie¡¯s Skill of Controlling Skeleton, and a 100% attribute increase from Doggy Two¡¯s subordinates.
Yes, that¡¯s correct, although Old Seven and Old Eight are all rebellious, they are nominally Doggy Two¡¯s subordinates and can be boosted by Doggy Two¡¯s trait.
After all the increases, Old Seven¡¯s attributes can be multiplied by 4 plus 3000 for both attack and defense.
It¡¯s terrifying!
In terms of attributes, Old Seven haspletely surpassed Doggy Two and has be the most powerful being under Dean McKenzie.
But it has fewer skills!
But that¡¯s not a big problem, just learn more going forward.
After sorting out the Holy Light Knights, Dean McKenzie swiftly left, making quick work of collecting the battlefield loot.
There was no time to strengthen skills, but all the bodies were thrown into the Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie left Fern City and began his journey back to Pink City.
He was somewhat worried about Elisa¡¯s safety, and he had to return and check on her before he could be at ease.
Thanks to Mrs. Hawkins¡¯ crystal.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s journey was smooth.
No one from the Church of the Holy Light could stop him.
Without any impediments and moving at full speed, he naturally traveled faster.
It took Dean McKenzie a full two months to reach Pink City from Fern Cityst time. This time it took him less than ten days to return to Pink City.
And that¡¯s even after taking a wrong turn.
Upon his return to Pink City, Dean McKenzie found that the vast city had been levelled to the ground.
Looking at the charred ruins of Pink City, Dean McKenzie¡¯s expression darkened.
¡°Was I toote?
Judging by the looks of it, Pink City must have been ttened half a month ago.
I wonder how the princess and Chloe are doing!¡±
No sooner had Dean McKenzie finished speaking than a voice rang out from the side.
¡°If you¡¯re talking about those two, then I¡¯m afraid I have bad news!¡±
At the same time, two whoosh sounds were heard.
¡°Thump! Thump!¡±
Two bodies were thrown in front of Dean McKenzie.
One was Elisa¡¯s corpse, and the other was Chloe¡¯s corpse.
Seeing the two blood-drenched bodies, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face grew even darker.
At the same time, a man stepped out before him.
Dean McKenzie immediately recognized him as the middle-aged man who had sent him to the Heretic Reformation Facility in Fern City and had personally sacrificed 180,000 human lives by acting against Crohn.
He remembered his name from Crohn¡¯s memory. He was Kamba Raven. Meanwhile, Kabba Raven looked at Dean McKenzie expressionlessly: ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I had wanted to spare them so that I could use them as leverage against you. Regrettably, they did not give me that chance.
Theymitted suicide as soon as they learned of my intentions. And that¡¯s quite unfortunate!
But no matter!¡±
With that, he said seriously: ¡°You sphemous wretch, I give you a chance. Hand over the heart of that god-defying person!
I can¡¡±
¡°You can die now!¡±
Before he could finish speaking, Dean McKenzie shot his [180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse] at him!
With a ze in his eyes, the resentment of 180,000 vengeful spirits shock-waved directly into Raven¡¯s brain, causing him to freeze.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie summoned all his skeletons from the Gate of Bone!
Right now, Dean McKenzie only had one thought. He wanted to kill this bastard.
Fearless Charge!
The skeleton under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand charged forward, with Old Seven taking the lead, rushing straight into Raymond¡¯s view.
¡°Buzz!¡±
As soon as Old Seven got close, the holy light emitted from Raymond blocked his charge.
Old Nine raised his Bone Crossbow Arrow and fired at Raymond.
The shot did ten times the damage, but the attack fell on Raymond¡¯s holy light and was easily blocked.
Then, whether it was Old Eight or Old Six.
Even when Doggy Twounched a Bone Eruption, the Heavy Destruction still could not affect theyer of holy light on the opponent.
The opponent¡¯s defense left Dean McKenzie bbergasted.
In the end, it was still Dean¡¯s Appraisal Skill which revealed why the opponent¡¯s holy light defense was so horrifying.
Name: Guardian Holy Light
Description: Comes from Golden Equipment, it can be triggered automatically, and can immune any attacks under fifth-turn.
PS: Unless the attack exceeds the limit of fifth-turn, thisyer of defense cannot be shattered.
¡°Damn it!¡±
Dean McKenzie was boil with rage, but he was powerless.
At present, he had no way to shatter thisyer of holy light defense, the only thing he could be thankful for was that his 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse was effective against the opponent.
Now, whether he could defeat the opponent depended solely on this curse.
¡°That curse is very powerful, there should be hope to solve him, right?¡±
So said Dean McKenzie, but he was filled with unease.
Intuition told him that the man in front of him was not so easy to deal with.
And indeed, at the beginning the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse did cause the opponent to lose consciousness, but quickly, the opponent¡¯s face showed expression.
¡°Curse me? When you were alive, I could kill you, why do you think I would be afraid of your curse after your death?¡±
¡°Guilt? Regret?
What a joke?
Why should I feel guilty, why should I feel regretful, isn¡¯t it natural to step on the carcasses of the weak and rise above them?¡±
¡°Get out of my way!¡±
Three furious roars, and the holy light on Raymond red up violently.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
[Your skill, 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse, has been broken!]
As the system prompt was refreshed, Raymond across from him opened his eyes, his eyes were full of bloodshot and he looked extremely weak.
Dean McKenzie could feel that even though Raymond had broken free of the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse, it was not without cost.
But Dean McKenzie also knew that despite the opponent¡¯s poor condition, he couldn¡¯t do anything to him.
Not to mention anything else, just theyer of holy light on him was a barrier that Dean McKenzie could not break.
They were both at the fifth-turn, but the strength of the one in front of him was vastly superior to the one Dean McKenzie had in ten days ago.
Dean McKenzie had no doubt that Raymond alone could wipe out a group of the same kind of fifth-turn that Dean McKenzie had in ten days ago.
Because, even in this state, Raymond gave Dean McKenzie a very dangerous feeling, even his Wild Intuition was sending him a death warning!
Realizing that he was destined to be unable to y the opponent this time, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t continue to doggedly kill him, but took advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn¡¯t recovered yet, calmly and coldly put the bodies of Elisa and the maid pig in the Land of Bone.
Then he coldly looked at Raymond, didn¡¯t say anything harsh, and chose to quit the realm without a word!
Since he couldn¡¯t resolve this enemy this time, he would leave it for next time.
As Dean McKenzie chose to exit the realm, a sh of light on his body disappeared from Raymond¡¯s view, and he appeared in the reward settlement space, and the system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes. [You choose to exit the realm, the settlement of realm rewards starts!] [Youpleted the main mission [City of the Wraith-Fern],pletely resolved Fern City, and got a basic evaluation of S ¨C level! ] [You sessfully annihted a unit of Holy Light Knights, evaluation upgraded to S+!]

[You have received the following rewards:
Reward 1: You have received 1 Skill Fusion Scroll (Intermediate)
Reward 2: You have received 1 Professional Gold Equipment
Reward 3: You have received[Blessing of the Immortals]!]
As the system notification refreshed, the items appeared before Dean McKenzie.

Item: Blessing of the Immortals
Description: A special item that allows you to resist death one time, and instantly inflicts ten times the damage suffered on your killer.
Looking at the attributes of these three items, Dean McKenzie¡¯s heavy mood eased somewhat.
But only somewhat.
His gaze then fell on the exploration treasure chest. He casually opened it.
[You opened the[Exploration Treasure Chesnd received an inheritance from the Necromancer[Resurrection Ritual of the Dead]!]
Seeing the word ¡°ritual,¡± Dean McKenzie subconsciously thought of the underground cavern of the Bloody Church and the 180 thousand wronged souls in Fern City, so he had an aversion to the term.
But regardless of Dean McKenzie¡¯s feelings, with the end of the system prompt, a flood of information rushed into his brain.
With this influx of information, a ritual gradually unfolded before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
Ten minutester, Dean McKenzie opened his eyes.
¡°As expected, there is nothing non-evil about rituals!¡±
Dean McKenzie initially had a little expectation that his ritual might not be so
evil, but the result was the same.
This ritual was just like the other rituals Dean McKenzie knew about.
All required the sacrifice of human life.
However, as evil as this ritual was, Dean McKenzie was genuinely interested in
it.
This was because of the effect of the ritual!
It was able to resurrect the dead, such as Piggy Princess Elisa and handmaid Chloe.
¡°If I used this ritual, I should be able to save the two of them!¡±
This was a considerable temptation for Dean McKenzie.
But then the problem arose again.
¡°But no matter what my intentions are, once I perform this ritual, won¡¯t I be no different from those fallen professionals from the Bloody Church and that guy named Raymond?¡±
Having witnessed and hated them, Dean McKenzie did not want to be like them under any circumstances.
He might be hopeful of reviving Piggy Princess and her handmaid, but he was reluctant to give up.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie was hesitant and struggling.
¡°By the way, power doesn¡¯t seem to have a division between good and evil, right?
Besides, strictly speaking, my talent isn¡¯t a good thing either.
After all, it¡¯s usage is built upon ughter.
But I don¡¯t think my talent is evil, because from beginning to end, it¡¯s me who controls the talent. I can be sure that the enemies I kill deserve to die, there are no innocents using their lives to enhance me, and I don¡¯t see anything wrong with that.
If talent is like that, isn¡¯t the ritual the same?¡±
¡°Although the form of the ritual is evil, if I can control my heart and use viins as sacrifices for the ritual, then the ritual is also a kind of public service recycling of waste, isn¡¯t it?¡±
In a few words, Dean McKenzie had found the correctness of using the ritual for himself.
He was doing it to save people and to uphold justice.
But as soon as he uttered these words, Dean McKenzie¡¯s head started to shake: ¡°This is sophistry!
Evil is evil, my talent is evil, and this ritual is undoubtedly evil!
No matter what I say, the essence of evil will not change!¡±
¡°But what if the essence is evil?
I can give up on this ritual, but can I give up using my talent?¡±
At this moment, Dean McKenzie was digging himself into a hole.
On the one hand, he had witnessed too much of the dark side and deeply detested those creatures of the dark.
On the other hand, it seemed that the power he controlled was one of the dark sides.
He needed to ughter to get power, and if you traced it to its essence, there was no difference to the ritual.
So, Dean McKenzie dived into this hole.
He admitted his talent was evil, but couldn¡¯t give up using it.
Under the condition that he couldn¡¯t give up using his talent, Dean McKenzie suddenly realized that when he faced the Bloody Church, the Holy Light Assembly, he seemed to no longer stand on the moral high ground.
He was no better than them.
With this in mind, did he still have the qualification to criticize them?
While Dean McKenzie was digging himself into this hole, the system notification refreshed again.
[Your dungeon journey hase to an end!]
Along with the system prompt, Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure returned to the ckwater Cave.
At the same time, a new[Goblin Scrolljappeared in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand.
Dungeon: Goblin Uprising 5
Usage Level: Level 81
Description: The world line continues from the previous dungeon
Looking at the brief introduction of the Goblin Scroll in his hand, Dean McKenzie, who was caught up in a dilemma, tightly gripped the scroll in his hand..

Soon after, Dean McKenzie¡¯s expression changed drastically.
Because as hended, his Meditation was immediately activated, his Spiritual Power spreading out across the area. Through this extension of his power, Dean clearly sensed that the lifeforce of everyone in the mine was rapidly withering away.
In less than a minute after hisnding, hundreds of people around him had
died.
This sudden urrence broke Dean¡¯s concentration abruptly!
¡°What¡¯s going on? Has a Fallen Professional invaded?
Without a moment¡¯s dy, Dean let Old Four out, opening a small entrance in the Gate of Bone to restore his Guardian Shield, and then rushed towards the mine.
Upon arriving at the mine, Dean took notice.
At this time it was night, and the vast majority of miners were sleeping.
When Dean reached one of the deceased miners his senses had detected, he saw a worker who had died in his sleep, his face twisted in fear and despair.
Dean quickly used his Appraisal Skill to evaluate him.
Name: Corpse
Description: He died in his sleep, his final moments filled with the most profound terror and despair. His emotions upon death became a small piece in someone else¡¯s Promotion Quest.
PS: Danger. You are being watched!
Witnessing this attribute made Dean¡¯s already stern face even more sullen. From the simple description given by this attribute, Dean had already roughly guessed the truth.
¡°It seems like my initial guess was correct; from the very beginning, this job
was nothing but a trap.¡±
¡°This mine is just a ughterhouse set up by some professional for their promotion quest!¡±
As he came to this conclusion, Dean found his mood bleak.
He felt regret over his momentary carelessness, which had put hisrades from the Bloody Church back into danger.
This was something Dean found utterly uneptable.
¡°I must stop this person. I cannot let them harm these people!
¡°Old Four, find him now!¡±
As Dean gave orders to Old Four, he sprinted with all his might, intending to rescue the people in the mine before the perpetrator acted again.
However, no matter how much Dean elerated his pace, he was never able to keep up with the other¡¯s killing speed.
The adversary was always just a tad faster than Dean.
Every time Dean was about to reach a person, they would die right in front of him.
After consecutive instances like these, Dean realized that he wasn¡¯t just a little behind the adversary ¨C his speed had beenpletely outmatched from the get-go.
The enemy was toying with him, giving him hope and then snatching it away ruthlessly, as if ying a cruel game of cat and mouse.
¡°Very well, you are doing great!¡±
Upon this realization, Dean stopped in his tracks, looking up at the sky, ¡°I may not know where you are hiding, but I swear, I will kill you. I promise you, I will kill you!¡±
With a roar, Dean spread his arms wide, and the Gate of Bone at his back flung open fully.
Bone skeletons surged out from within.
Obviously, Dean had started to take things seriously and was exerting his full strength.
However, the moment Dean began using his Guardian Shield and tried to unleash all of his bone skeletons, he realized something.
Almost simultaneously, every living being within Dean¡¯s spiritual senses died. The adversary was toying with him,ughing at his vain attempts to fight, before casually wiping out nearly everything in the vicinity, leaving only Dean and his skeletons untouched.
At that very moment, a giant face appeared in the sky above Dean.
¡°Well, boy, how do you like this response?¡±
Over on Dean¡¯s side, he seemed not to recover from the shock of the surrounding deaths. Staring at the face appearing overhead, his response was slow and silent.
The face above appeared to be very unsatisfied with Dean¡¯s reaction and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so numb. I didn¡¯tpletely wipe out everyone. After all, I left a few for you!¡±
As the other party spoke, dozens of figures appeared above Dean McKenzie¡¯s head.
At a nce, Dean recognized them. They were all people he had previously saved from the Bloody Church.
Among them was Finch Olmedo.
¡°Kid, their memories have been thoroughly erased, but some traces still linger in their bodies, in their souls.
These traces not hard to find, they must have suffered a lot.
They were probably captured by cannibalistic churches or brutal organizations like the Bloody Church before you saved them.
I must say you did an excellent job!¡±
The other party¡¯s tone was filled with sincere admiration.
But Dean did not care if the other was genuinely appreciative or mocking, all he wanted to do was to locate that guy, save the people, and kill him!
Upon seeing those dozens of people, Dean had already figured out where they were from their surroundings and immediately rushed to that location.
The man watched Dean¡¯s actions, but did not try to stop him, he justughed and watched Dean struggle.
It seemed to him that watching Dean struggle was an amusing sight.
So he let Dean continue struggling and said, ¡°Because you saved them, pulled them out of darkness into light, their souls undergone a transformation, and you brought them here.
They found their dreams, their future, and their hope here.
Their souls experienced a second transformation, the soul after the second transformation made them the most beautiful part of my canvas today.
Especially this guy!¡±
As he spoke, Finch Olmedo was brought forth.
The moment he saw Finch, Dean involuntarily stopped.
At the same time, the voice from above resounded again: ¡°This youngd is exceptional, a heart that always remains bright, full of hope for his future, a soul exceptionally pure.
He is a good child.
If it weren¡¯t for him, my painting today would be at most ordinary, but with him, I have a premonition that once I finish this painting, I will at least be able to obtain a reward for a [Difficult] trial mission!
I am somewhat impatient and want to kill him now!¡±
Seeing Finch being brought out, Dean seemed unable to bear it anymore. He stopped in his tracks, looked up at the sky, his face extraordinarily calm at that moment: ¡°I really don¡¯t understand why you can have no qualms about paving your future with the lives of your brethren?
¡°What did you say?¡±
The man above was taken aback by Dean¡¯s words.
¡°I thought you were stopping to say something, but turns out you asked such an uninteresting question?
Why can Ifortably step on the lives of my brethren to advance?
How novel! Why can¡¯t I?
Aren¡¯t people this cruel of beings?
Isn¡¯t this world like this?
The survival of the fittest, they as the weak, bing the stepping stone for my advancement as the strong, is their honor!¡±
Listening to the man¡¯s words, Dean¡¯s eyes became murky and lost: ¡°Is it?
Are people like this?
Is the world like this?
Should the weak be food for the strong?¡±
Looking at Dean who seemed to have been mentally broken by him, the man above grinned: ¡°Yes, this is exactly what the world is like!¡±
As soon as his words came out, the lost look on Dean¡¯s face quickly vanished. He nodded firmly: ¡°If you believe the world should be this way, let¡¯s y by your worldview.
Then ording to your worldview, the weak should be food for the strong! While speaking, Dean suddenly raised his head: ¡°In that case, you should be prepared to be devoured by somebody even stronger, right?
Chapter 213:153 Killing
Chapter 213:153 Killing
Trantor: 549690339
Outside ckwater City!
ckwater Mine!
The icy, murderous voice of Dean McKenzie echoes.
Not far away, a middle-aged man gazing at his palm hears it loud and clear.
On hearing this, his face turns manic.
¡°Preparation? Who¡¯s gonna prepare for that?
Who the hell lives on for others to feast upon?
I wed my way out of a pile of corpses, Devoured each of those bastards, Grew stronger, step by step, Skilled by skilled, all to be the strongest ¨C so no one could consume me!
I¡¯ve grown to the point where I¡¯m on the verge of a Six-turning, who can consume me? Who¡¯s got the guts to consume me?¡±
¡°Me!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s icy voice rings out again as he abruptly looks up, locking eyes with the face above him.
At the same time, the middle-aged man looking at his palm instantaneously senses a sense of wrong.
A terrifying sense of crisis strikes him at the top of his head, making him instinctively want to close his hand and eyes.
But it¡¯s toote!
He has already locked eyes with Dean McKenzie!
At that very moment, countless cries of despair and roars rush straight into his Consciousness Space.
In an instant, the ckwater Mine in his palm shatters and copses.
Almost immediately, the enormous face hovering above Dean McKenzie also shatters and copses.
As it copses, Dean McKenzie feels a tremor in his Spirit, and the whole world seems to clear.
Dean McKenzie realizes that his opponent has fallen into the trap!
¡°Find that guy for me, we absolutely can¡¯t let him get away!¡±
As Dean McKenziemands, his undead Skeletons spring into action.
Quickly, a middle-aged man gazing at his own palm while cries of tears being shed is dragged in front of Dean McKenzie by Anthony.
The moment he sees this man, Dean McKenzie¡¯s first reaction is ¡®Has Anthony caught the wrong person?¡¯
Only when Dean McKenzie¡¯s Appraisal Skill falls upon the middle-aged man does Dean McKenzie realize he caught the right person.
Name: Peter Richardson
Profession: Nightmare Maniptor (Fifth-turn) (Rare)
Level: 120
Status: Under a curse, Consciousness sunk among 180,000 Resentful Spirits.
Looking at these Attributes, Dean McKenzie can¡¯t help but be taken aback.
He finds it hard to believe that a fifth-turn level 120, one who is on the verge of a Six-turning, was so easily defeated by him using a single skill.
¡°But no, isn¡¯t the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse that powerful?
Then why does the same skill have minimal effect on Raymond?¡±
Dean McKenzie is perplexed. He carefully examines the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse skill.
Thenpares this man Peter Richardson, with Raymond from before.
Combining the knowledge he inherited from Crohn, Dean McKenzie concludes: ¡°This man Peter Richardson isn¡¯t as capable as that Raymond from before, however, aside from skills and equipment, there should be another crucial reason.
That being he might still have a bit of humanity left in him, and deep down he probably doesn¡¯t ept his deeds. He was just forced by the world to walk this path step by step.
While on the other hand, Raymond in the dungeon was different.
He is unapologetic and takes pride in offering 180,000 lives. He is not ashamed of it in the slightest.¡±
As he speaks, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes fill with murderous intent.
¡°What the hell is this world we live in? What the hell is this skill?
People with guilt in their hearts can¡¯t resist, while heartless, bloodthirsty people have nothing to fear?¡±
¡°Also, why¡¯s Raymond unashamed?
Why can he take such pride?¡±
Dean McKenzie clenches his fists.
He uses a skill and feels guilty about it, thinking that his talent is evil and destructive, and dares not to use it in a ceremony,
Peter Richardson, step-by-step ¡®eating people¡¯ along the way, most likely killed fewer people than Raymond, has restlessness in the deepest recesses of his mind.
Why the hell is Raymond so proud then?
¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for you, when I get to the Fourth-turn, I¡¯ll personally confront you!¡±
Dean McKenzie murmurs to himself, withdrawing from his thoughts, focusing his attention on Peter Richardson before him.
This man¡¯s consciousness is surrounded by the obsession from the 180,000 Resentful Spirits, he¡¯s alive, but he has fallen into a vegetative state.
¡°Luckily he¡¯s not dead. As long as he¡¯s alive, he can still be used for the ceremony!¡±
At this moment, Dean McKenzie had already made up his mind.
He¡¯s decided to use the Ritual of the Dead¡¯s Reincarnation.
The incident at the ckwater Mine made Dean McKenzie realize one thing.
As a person, you have to be absolute. Either be an absolute saint, or a sinner.
Otherwise, it¡¯s easy to get caught out.
Peter Richardson is a case in point.
He¡¯s not a good person, nor is hepletely evil, at least he¡¯s notpletely insane. As a result, he falls into the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse.
Dean McKenzie is sure to learn from this experience.
However, whether it¡¯s the absolute good or evil, Dean McKenzie believes neither are suited to him.
¡°I know my values. The peaceful world I lived in before I transitioned here nurtured my morality and conscience. I have them, but they¡¯re not strong, at least not to the extent of Anthony.
There¡¯s no way I can be aplete saint.
As for evil?
My nurtured conscience won¡¯t allow me to bepletely cruel, so I can only be an absolute person!¡±
¡°Yes, an absolute person!
I¡¯m not a saint, I make mistakes, I¡¯m simply an absolute person with a bit of a conscience.¡±

I have the power to enhance my strength, the power to save people. I will use it. If I see someone being bullied or in danger, I will also rush to their aid.
But the premise of all this is that I can, or rather, I am willing to!
I might be in danger of losing myself when wielding this power, I might make mistakes when saving people.
But so what?
As long as I follow my heart, that¡¯s enough!
I ain¡¯t no saint, not a bad guy either, just a damnd ordinary person!
And now, this ordinary person is about to do what ordinary people do!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s ordeal today scorched his heart like a raging fire.
After the fire, Dean McKenzie can¡¯t say he sees his true nature, but at least, he has found the strength to support his spirit!
To follow his heart.
And Dean McKenzie now has three things in mind, the first is saving people! The skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand sprang into action, quickly moving the surviving people and resources of the ckwater Mine into the Land of Bone.
After the rescue operation, Dean McKenzie took Peter Richardson, who was now in a vegetative state, back to ckwater City!
To be precise, he returned to the Rescue Center of ckwater City.
¡°Culver? Why are you back?
Was the job not going well?
I don¡¯t mean to berate you, but work is never easy. Good jobs are hard toe by, so bear with them if you can?
Or did you discover something?
Is there a problem with that ce?¡±
Dean McKenzie did not hide his tracks after returning to the Rescue Center, and to his surprise, the head of the Rescue Center recognized him at first sight. Listening to the other party¡¯s challenging yet caring words, Dean McKenzie exhaled deeply.
He came here to further confirm whether this person in charge was the same as he had known before.
From the other party¡¯s initial reaction, it seemed that he was.
But Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t be sure.
So, after a moment¡¯s hesitation, he looked at the man in shock and said, ¡°Director Gordon, everyone¡everyone¡¯s dead at ckwater Mine. I was the only one who escaped!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
Hearing this, the director of the Rescue Center, Enzo Richardson, turned pale.
Then he interrogated Dean McKenzie relentlessly.
No matter how much he prodded, Dean McKenzie kept repeating the same sentence in terror: ¡®Everyone at ckwater Mine is dead, I was the only one who escaped¡¯.
Unable to get any more information after several attempts, the director could only arrange for someone to take care of Dean McKenzie while he left the Rescue Center.
After leaving the Rescue Center, Enzo Richardson¡¯s initial n was to report to the Alliance Headquarters.
But after only a few steps, he stopped.
Then, gritting his teeth, he went to ckwater Mine first.
When he arrived at ckwater Mine and saw all the miners dead, Enzo Richardson¡¯s eyes turned red.
The fact that Enzo Richardson was able to call out Dean McKenzie¡¯s name, or remember Dean McKenzie¡¯s buddies, was not by chance.
He truly remembered every person he had saved at his Rescue Center.
So, he could urately identify all the corpses at this mine site, and he could even tell when these people entered the Rescue Center and when they left.
He used to think that he had found a good home for these people.
In the dead of night, the security and happiness of these people were the best remedies for his past pain.
But now, they were all dead, right in front of him.
Worse still, one could say he was the one who pushed them into the fiery pit. Enzo could not ept this oue. He couldn¡¯t ept it no matter what.
So, with red eyes, he rushed back to ckwater City and stormed into the office of the Chairman of the Professional Alliance.
¡°Why?¡±
Enzo stormed in, mmed his hands on the desk and roared at the chairman of the Professional Alliance, ¡°Why did you do this?¡±
Compared to Enzo¡¯s fury and anger, the chairman of the Alliance, a middle- aged man who looked to be in his forties, was very calm, gently wiping his sses: ¡°What do you mean, why?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t y dumb with me. You were the one who vouched for thepany at ckwater Mine.
I don¡¯t believe you don¡¯t know about the filth behind thispany!
Is this how you honor the Alliance? Is this how you serve the people of ckwater City?¡±
Enzo Richardson mmed the table and roared.
The chairman seemed very calm in the face of Enzo¡¯s roar. He wiped the sses in his hand for a while before finally putting them down. ¡°It¡¯s not as bad as you think!¡±
Moreover, what I did was indeed right for the Alliance and the people of ckwater City!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
Enzo roared, wanting to pounce on him.
But as a Thir-turn, how could he be a match for the Fifth-turn chairman of ckwater City?
As soon as he lunged forward, his head was ttened on the table by a p. ¡°You¡¯ve always been like this, rash, without a brain. If you weren¡¯t my brother, you would¡¯ve been dead by now!¡±
Question me, questioning me?
Do you have any idea what I¡¯ve sacrificed for ckwater City?
You want to know the situation of that mine? Fine, I¡¯ll tell you!
That mine is contracted by a bishop from the Nightmare Church with the purpose ofpleting a Six-turn task.¡±
¡°Just like that you let him run wild in ckwater City?¡±
¡°How could I? How could I possibly stand by and watch?¡±
I cleared that mine for him, and I sent our own people over.
I smoothly arranged everything for him, so he could calmlyplete the Six- turn!¡±
¡°You, you bastard!¡±
¡°You think that¡¯s what I wanted?¡±
Have you ever imagined the consequence if I hadn¡¯t done that?¡±
He needs toplete a Six-turn task, who could discourage him from that?¡± If I had refused, he would have taken matters into his own hands, and then, then¡ ckwater City would have suffered even more catastrophic losses.¡± The lives of the citizens of ckwater City would be unbearable!
Isn¡¯t everything good the way it is now?¡±
Isn¡¯t everything good the way it is now?¡±
Enzo¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, ¡°Did you ever think about those people who were sent to the ckwater Mine?
They¡¯ve just barely started to live normal lives, they¡¯ve just barely settled down, and they just want to live. What did they do wrong?¡±
They were in the wrong purely because they are but drifters!
They are not citizens of ckwater City and I have no responsibility to protect them. Besides, I gave them generous benefits before their deaths.
Do you think I would have approved such funding for your Rescue Centre if they weren¡¯t sacrificing for ckwater City?¡±
¡°They¡ they¡¡±
¡°Enough,shut up!¡±
The chairman of ckwater City pped Enzo across the face, ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore, it¡¯s about time you grow up.
This is how the world is.
Our power is limited and we can¡¯t save everyone. It¡¯s already great that we¡¯ve managed to do this much.
At least, sacrificing them, keeping the city safe; on that matter, I am meless!¡±
After the chairman of ckwater City pped him twice, Enzopletely lost his spirit. Although his eyes were incredibly bloodshot and his fists were clenched tightly, he couldn¡¯ t utter a word.
But even though he could not, someone else could!
¡°Conscience clear?! What a conscience clear!¡±
¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a shameless person, someone who can justify working with the Fallen Professional in such a high and mighty way. Contending you have limited power, and cannot save everyone?
Yes, perhaps your power is limited and indeed you can¡¯t save everyone but you should never harm others!
What, are the citizens of ckwater City the only ones deserving of being called people? In your eyes, those so-called drifters aren¡¯t humans?¡±
They should just be used for your sacrifices, right?
In the end, you are just a coward, one who dares not stand up to the strong but only bully the weak!¡±
All the talk about doing everything for ckwater City and if someone more powerful needed something tomorrow, you could sacrifice ckwater City in the blink of an eye!¡±
You are even more despicable than those Fallen Professionals!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
As soon as the voice fell, the figure of Dean McKenzie appeared in the office!

ckwater City, Professional Alliance branch office!
¡°Boom!¡±
In the face of the sudden appearance of Dean McKenzie, the president of the ckwater City branch, Finn Richardson, did not hesitate to take action.
In a blink, he was in front of Dean McKenzie, gripping his throat!
¡°Me, this kind of person?
What kind of person am I for you to judge?
You think I don¡¯t know you came from the ckwater Mine?
You think I don¡¯t know you went to find this idiot?
I was just kindly giving you a way out, and I didn¡¯t expect you to be so reckless!
Well, then you can go to hell!¡±
With a coldugh, Finn Richardson was about to choke Dean to death.
But when he tightened his grip, Dean seemed unaffected.
Joking aside, Dean was protected by the Guardian Shield. Even if Finn, a fifth-turn warrior, used all his strength, he might not be able to harm Dean!
Dean counterattacked with a Vision Deprivation and a Slow Curse on his opponent while activating Bone Resistance!
His actions were swift and smooth.
But they left no damage on Finn.
The gap between third-turn and fifth-turn was once again evident.
Fortunately, Dean never expected to handle things on his own!
On the other side, Finn, who effortlessly broke free of Dean¡¯s control and withstood the Bone Resistance with a look of disdain on his face, suddenly changed his expression.
The Gate of Bone behind Dean opened, and Doggy Two¡¯s King of Bone smashed directly into his face.
At the same time, a daggering from behind him diagonally upwards, made a lethal strike!
¡°Puff!¡±
The sensitive part was damaged, causing severe pain!
Finn, in his agony, managed to break free from the control of the King of Bone.
Finn, who wrested control and felt the fiery pain in a certain spot, instantly became furious, turned around and swung. A shortsword appeared in his hand and instantly shed across Old Eight¡¯s neck.
Old Eight¡¯s invincibility took effect for two seconds before promptly nullifying it.
[Finn used Killing Strike, your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eightj¡¯s invulnerability is nullified!]
Old Eight¡¯s head was instantly decapitated.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) was hit by Killing Strike, triggering the killing effect, your Doggy Eight has died! ]
Instantly, Old Eight¡¯s skeleton scattered!
At the same time, Old Seven from the Land of Bone didn¡¯t hesitate to use Fearless Charge to break out. He rammed directly into Finn.
He nailed Finn straight onto the office wall.
This was only because the office was built with sturdy materials; otherwise, this impact could¡¯ve thrown him at least two miles away.
Just as Finn was nailed to the wall, a Bone Arrow was fired from the Gate of Bone.
As the branch president of ckwater City, Finn has some strength in reserve.
Seeing this, he directly burst forth with the fifth-turn warrior skill.
Warrior¡¯s Heart
This skill is actually simr to the Bone Eruption, the difference is that this skill is a standard one, not the kind of enhanced skill like Dean¡¯s.
There¡¯s a difference between an enhanced skill and a normal one.
The difference is that the amplification of an enhanced skill can be limitless to some extent, but the amplification of a non-enhanced one has a limit.
This skill directly boosted Finn¡¯s strength and physique by 50,000!
Fifty thousand strength and physique, which were incredibly strong. Generally, fifth-turn warriors don¡¯t possess this attribute.
Finn stretched out his arms and pushed Old Seven away. Old Seven scattered instantly as he flew out.
At the same time, his backhand pped the arrow shot by Old Nine from Land of Bone back, and Old Nine was also blown up.
With his gestures, he blew up three of Dean¡¯s fourth-turn skeletons.
With this level of power, he would rank mid-tier among the fifth-turn fighters.
Among the fifth-turns that Dean had encountered, he could be in the top ten.
Of course, the one in the ckwater Mine was actually stronger than him. It¡¯s just that he was unlucky. In the beginning, he was sted by Dean¡¯s ultimate skill.
This one was a bit weaker, but Dean doesn¡¯t have the medium to use the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse.
This skill requires a medium. The medium is the vengeful spirits killed by the target, which are full of obsession towards the target.
When used against Raymond, all of the 180,000 vengeful spirits were there.
When used against the one in the ckwater Mine, hadn¡¯t he just killed a lot of people?
But when used against this president, Dean was out of luck. He hadn¡¯t killed anyone yet, and Dean didn¡¯t have the vengeful spirit he killed. So he couldn¡¯t use his ultimate skill and had to fight hard.
This gave the opponent a chance to retaliate.
And after Finn easily killed several skeletons, his gaze was immediately fixed on Dean.
A smirk of turning the tables appeared on his face. He rushed to Dean again and threw a heavy punch at Dean¡¯s abdomen.
Then, Finn was dumbfounded, Dean was still unscathed.
Meanwhile, the Gate of Bone behind Dean activated Doggy Two¡¯s King of Bone again.
The difference was, this time, Doggy Two charged out directly.
The [Bone Eruption]menced, the Bone Throne was summoned, and the lethal heavy strikes pounded onto Finn Richardson.
Richardson clenched his teeth and endured the blow, counter-attacking by throwing the dagger in his hand at Doggy Two. With a ¡°crack¡±, Doggy Two shattered on impact.
Richardson¡¯s face lit up with joy.
But his smile froze almost immediately, for the shattered Doggy Two was instantly restored.
Simultaneously, a familiar pain originated from a familiar source. Turning around, Richardson realized that Old Eight, whom he had just obliterated, had resurrected.
Not just Old Eight, but Old Seven had also been resurrected.
As Richardson was turning around, Old Sevenunched a Fearless Charge right into his heart.
At the same time, Doggy Two stabbed him in the back again.
Caught between the strikes from both sides, Richardson was cleaved into two halves.
Ordinarily, such a severe injury would have been fatal, but Richardson was a fifth-turn existence with a tenacious will to live. Despite being still alive, his current state was in awful shape. As the effects of the Warrior¡¯s Heart skill wore off, he fell into a weakened state, struggling to even get up. Panic set in, and he desperately called for help, ¡°Help! Can¡¯t anyone see the invasion of a rogue professional? Hurry, save me!¡±
Despite Richardson¡¯s vigorous calls for help, no one came rushing to his aid for a long time.
Finally, a fourth-turn newbie stumbled hesitantly toward him, only to witness Richardson pinned to the ground under the barrage of several terrifying wraiths.
Momently, Dean McKenzie cast a sideways nce at him.
¡°Scram!¡±
Immediately, the brave new soul fled inplete embarrassment and horror.
Enraged, Richardson spat out blood and hurled curses, ¡°Cowards, a bunch of cowards!¡±
Hearing Richardson¡¯s curses, McKenzie chuckled, ¡°Cowards? Were they not the ones you brought up, nurtured and taught? Cowards who fear death and forget their honor at the sight of personal gain!
To the powerful, they bow down and submit, eager to do their bidding; against the weak, they strike mercilessly.
Why should anyone be willing to risk their lives to save someone like you in a time of danger?¡±
Upon hearing McKenzie¡¯s mockery, Richardson assumed apletely different attitude.
¡°Sir, you¡¯re right. I process an intense fear of death. I bow down and submit. I¡¯m devoid of anypassion. But please be considerate; as the guild leader, I have a responsibility towards ckwater City. Everything I did was out of necessity.
Of course, I understand that I was wrong. I am ready topensate. Can¡¯t I justpensate you?¡±
¡°Compensation? What can you offer aspensation?¡±
¡°With all my wealth, with the umted wealth of ckwater City over the past ten years!¡±
Richardson¡¯s plea came quickly.
Upon realizing he was no match, he immediately admitted defeat.
While speaking, he fumbled out a badge. Amidst the onught of Old Seven and Old Nine, he used the badge. As he activated the badge, a secret door in the office unveiled itself. Through the opening, McKenzie could see the shimmering light of gold.
¡°That room contains ten years¡¯ savings of ckwater City. Everything is yours, everything. Can you please spare me?¡±
McKenzie nced at the secret door and nonchntly summoned a dozen skeletons from the Gate of Bone, directing them into the secret door.
There was an unexpected amount inside.
Just in gold coins, there were more than a hundred thousand. Notably, there were also thirteen Secret Realm Crystals, hundreds of skill books, dozens of instance scrolls and several promotion task scrolls.
And arge number of materials required for promotion.
McKenzie¡¯s eyes widened at the sight of this astonishing wealth.
Richardson, who had been watching McKenzie closely, saw this and brightened up. ¡°Sir, all this is yours. Only if you spare me, I swear that in five years, I can provide you with the same amount of wealth.
Don¡¯t kill me. Keeping me alive could be like having a golden eggying hen.
Also, if you do kill me, the Alliance won¡¯t let it slide.
You may not be afraid of the Alliance due to your heroic prowess, but you wouldn¡¯t want to be bothered by them, would you? If only you can spare me¡¡± ¡°Plop!¡±
Richardson¡¯s plea was abruptly cut off by the sound of a de piercing through.
The one whoshed out was not one of McKenzie¡¯s skeletons, but his own brother, Enzo Richardson. He had been pushed aside since McKenzie¡¯s arrival.
At this moment, Enzo held a dagger in his hand that had pierced Richardson¡¯s throat, preventing him from speaking further.
In fact, he had acted right under McKenzie¡¯s watch. McKenzie could have stopped him, but chose not to.
Because before stabbing Richardson, Enzo had stabbed himself right in the heart. He was determined to atone for his sins even if it meant his death.
McKenzie didn¡¯t have a reason, and alsocked the ground to stop him.
Besides, Richardson wasn¡¯t going to die, so there was no reason for McKenzie to intervene.
Enzo copsed weakly afternding that blow, lifeless.
As for his brother, the humbling entity who had been coaxing McKenzie, he was still very much alive due to his zealous fifth-turn vitality. However, survival did not necessarily mean good fortune for him.
McKenzie gestured, preparing to have the skeletons haul the objects from the secretpartment into the Land of Bone.
However, Old Six suggested that McKenzie¡¯s n was inefficient.
Why haul anything?
Old Six simply brought the entire office into the Land of Bone.
After transferring the office, McKenzie proceeded to ckwater City¡¯s Promotion Temple to execute his second n, transporting the Promotion Temple into the Land of Bone.
The newly upgraded Land of Bone could now contain a four-story Promotion Temple!
Chapter 216:155 Resurrection Ritual-Charming Demon Princess
Chapter 216:155 Resurrection Ritual-Charming Demon Princess
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie, in ckwater City, was dragging away the president of ckwater City¡¯s sub-branch.
He cleaned out the president¡¯s office and the Promotion Temple.
In the end, Dean McKenzie even took a detour to the ckwater City Professional Alliance¡¯s restaurant warehouse, packing all the food supplies.
The whole process spanned over half a day.
During this time, not a single person in ckwater City dared to resist or even breathe too loudly.
They were just like the president of ckwater City¡¯s sub-branch, Finn Richardson, and like 80 to 90% of the alliance members of this era.
Cowardly, timid.
Doing what they believed was right. In their view, their task ranged from earning a few silver coins to several gold coins per month. There was no reason nor necessity to risk their lives for this amount of money!
That would be utterly unworthy!
As for the responsibility behind their work.
Sorry, they didn¡¯t understand.
The reaction of ckwater City made Dean McKenzie fully aware of what a thing such so-called Professional Alliance really was.
Such an organization, at most, could only ensure a ce¡¯s rtive stability, nothing more!
Only then did Dean McKenzie realize how much of a blessing it was to live in Spring City in this era.
People like Anthony were as precious as pandas!
Even so, Dean McKenzie had no thought of ¡®this world is so corrupt; I must change this damn world¡¯.
That¡¯s not just his nature.
¡®Til just do what I can and what I think I should do!¡±
Coming out of ckwater City, Dean McKenzie headed straight back to ckwater Mine, to do the third thing he nned to.
It¡¯s the ¡°Resurrection Ritual of the Dead¡±!
This ritual originally required at least two thousand individuals of the same level.
Dean McKenzie chose to use two Fifth-turn beings instead, which was also inpliance with the rules.
Therefore, after arriving at ckwater Mine, Dean McKenzie started to operate ording to the knowledge of the ritual in his memory.
Using the blood of the two Fifth-turn beings to draw the basic diagram of the ritual¡¯s altar.
Finn Richardson made a huge contribution in this respect.
As a Fifth-turn Warrior, his vitality was tenacious and his blood was abundant.
Being cut in half, his body of over a hundred pounds could still bleed out tens of pounds of blood.
If it wasn¡¯t for this, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t have been able to sessfully draw the sacrificial base diagram after failing three times with just two people.
When the sacrificial base diagram came out, Finn Richardson waspletely panicked, pleading with Dean McKenzie incessantly.
¡°No, don¡¯t sacrifice me!
I don¡¯t want to die!
Please let me go. I still have money¡lots of money!
I¡¯ll give it all to you. Just let me go!¡±
¡°Do you know what you¡¯re doing?
You¡¯re provoking the Alliance¡ the Alliance will not let you go!¡±
¡°I beg you¡I was wrong¡please let me go¡or kill me¡don¡¯t sacrifice me!¡±
Finn Richardson, realizing he was on the brink of being sacrificed, swung crazily from pleading to hysteria, and back to pleading.
He would rather die than be a sacrificial offering.
But whether he pleaded or acted hysterical, Dean McKenzie ignored him, calmly finished the diagram, and brought him and the other one to the sacrificial area.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie carefully carried the bodies of Piggy Princess and her maid, Chloe from the Land of Bone and ced them in the center of the altar.
Once everything was ready, Dean McKenzie took a deep breath to recall the information about the ¡°Resurrection Ritual of the Dead¡±, and then proceeded ording to the content he remembered.
The first step was to imbue the altar¡¯s diagram with his own Mana.
After more than a hundred thousand Mana surged out, Dean McKenzie still felt unsatisfied.
He opened the Gate of Bone, recovering while pouring his own Mana into it. After a grueling hour, he finally stopped after pouring millions of Mana into the altar.
Then came the chanting.
¡°Lord Augustus Lucifer, the God of Wraiths who holds the power of death, I offer these sacrifices and ask you to resurrect these two dead before my eyes!¡±
With the sound of Dean McKenzie¡¯s chant, a faint glow began to emanate from the altar beneath his feet.
With the emergence of this light, Dean McKenzie suddenly felt as if he were being inspected.
As if something was watching him.
That scrutinizing gaze made Dean McKenzie somewhat overwhelmed. If it weren¡¯t for his agility of thousands, Dean McKenzie¡¯s legs would have buckled.
This is the first time Dean McKenzie deeply understood how powerful these so-called gods really were.
When the difference in strength between two parties reached a certain level, fighting was out of the question. Even the most insignificant attention from a huge distance could very nearly overwhelm Dean McKenzie.
Fortunately, this scrutiny did notst long.
Quickly, the gaze was retracted from Dean McKenzie, and the system prompts started to refresh in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[The God of Wraith has responded to your ritual. He seems to be interested in you and has given you a small reward!]
[You gained the[Blessing of the God of Wraith](Your next promotion will definitely increase by one level (minimum Nightmare), and once the promotion ispleted, the profession will surely upgrade to Perfect Quality)!]
[Your[Resurrection Ritual of the Dead]was sessful!]
Three system prompts refreshed.
The altar in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit uppletely, and following that, the two Fifth-turn beings on the altar turnedpletely into dust. Meanwhile, all the power of the altar was poured into Piggy Princess Elisa and her maid, Chloe.
As the altar¡¯s power was infused, their bodies gradually came back to life.
Their shattered bodies swiftly recovered, and very soon both of them opened their eyes.
Standing face-to-face, Dean McKenzie could easily recognize their clear and silly eyes. He knew without a doubt that these two were indeed them.
Sess!
A smile broke out on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
But Dean¡¯s smile barelysted three seconds before it froze again.
Because the wind began to weather the skin of the fully recovered Piggy maid and princess.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Dean didn¡¯t understand, then the system prompt refreshed.
[The God of the Wraith has made a gift for you, granted the two reincarnated with eternal life, and changed their races!]
At that moment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes bulged, and his fists clenched tightly.
Who the hell wants this kind of gift?
Even before Dean¡¯s fury could fully manifest, the system prompt refreshed again.
[The race of your Resurrection Ritual target, maid Chloe, has been changed and she has be a Charming Demon Princess guard!]
[The race of your Resurrection Ritual target, Princess Pig Elisa, has been changed and she has be a Charming Demon Princess!]
¡°What the hell? Charming Demon?¡±
Dean, in the throes of his rage, was momentarily taken aback and hurriedly looked over at the maid and princess pigs.
Upon looking, Dean saw two figures that made his blood boil.
For a moment, that uncontroble rage of Dean¡¯s seemed to lessen, but it quickly grew even bigger.
Because the system prompt refreshed again.
[Detected that you are taking characters from the instance, you cannot take characters out before the instance is fully cleared. The rted characters will be immediately deported back to the instance!]
The next second, a radiant light enveloped those two bodies that made his blood boil.
Then, Dean had no chance to clearly see what the maid and princess pigs looked like, they were forcibly sent back to the instance world.
Looking at the two who disappeared in a blink, Dean was stunned for a long time.
After a long moment of silence, he muttered cursing: ¡°What the hell?
Can I bring dead bodies but not people?
This rule is so damn unreasonable!¡±
Grumble as he might, in this moment, Dean found his determination to clear the [Goblin Uprising] instance even stronger.
Although there were unexpected changes during the Resurrection Ritual of the Dead, it was sessfullypleted in the end.
Even though after resurrection, the princess and maid were sent back.
But anyway, as long as they¡¯re alive, it¡¯s all good.
They revived and Dean¡¯s smothered mood from the instance world and ckwater Mine was rxed.
Then, Dean happily hit the road.
Even though the poor performance of ckwater City Professional Alliance made Dean realize that the Alliance is very unlikely to make a big fuss over him,
But after all, he killed their branch president and stole a promotion temple, he must run away.
Give some respect to others.
As for where to run, Dean had already thought it over.
He didn¡¯t stay at the ckwater City Rescue Center for nothing. He seriously took Anthony¡¯s advice and studied a lot during that period.
But Dean was still not interested in history, he was interested in geography though.
So, he spent some time studying the map of Rouge at the Rescue Center.
And locked onto one ce.
The Ten Thousand Mountains of the South Barbarians in Rouge!
ording to the information Dean had, The Ten Thousand Mountains of the South Barbarians did not belong to the Professional Alliance¡¯s map, it was under the control of the South Barbarians.
The Professional Alliance has less control over there.
Another reason was that the Ten Thousand Mountains of the South Barbarians were rich in resources.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are divided into three circles: outer, middle, and inner.
All three areas possessed plentiful maps for leveling up.
The outer area boasted third-level maps, the middle ring had maps up to the six-level, and it was rumored that the innermost area even had eighth-level maps.
You could say, it had all kinds of maps.
From birth to death, there¡¯s always a map suitable for you.
Dean was very fond of such a ce. He nned to go there and grind for a year and a half beforeing out.
The road out of Spring City was almost a consistent beating for him. Dean was not happy with this kind of life, and the maps in the area controlled by the Professional Alliance were basically under the control of the Professional Alliance.
With his current identity, if he continues to stay, his strength will not increase.
As for whether it¡¯ll go smoothly over there or not?
Dean currently couldn¡¯t manage to care much about it, he would decide once he got there.
He left the ckwater Mine and headed directly towards The Ten Thousand Mountains of the South Barbarians in a wild rush.
As for the fact that he didn¡¯t tell Mrs. Hawkins before leaving?
Dean reasoned, there was no need, he was holding Mrs. Hawkins¡¯ ck crystal, she would surely be able to divine where he was, right?
What Dean did not know was that shortly after he left ckwater City, a mysterious person dressed in a ck robe, Mrs. Hawkins,nded in ckwater City with the sister with two ponytails who was carrying a hammer.
Upon arrival, Mrs. Hawkins was momentarily stunned.
¡°Where¡¯s the person? The one that I left here, where is he?
How could such arge living person go missing?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you divine?¡±
The pony-tailed girl said: ¡°Then divine and see!¡±
The mysterious Mrs.. Hawkins¡¯ face awkwardly broke into a smile and said, ¡°Can I confess that once the thing I gave him leaves my range, even I won¡¯t be able to divine him?¡±

Chapter 217:156 Inventory Harvest
Trantor: 549690339
The journey from ckwater City to the South Barbarian¡¯s Hundred Thousand Mountains is very far, almost ten thousand kilometers!
Dean McKenzie definitely can¡¯t walk that far.
Dean McKenzie walked for a day. It was too slow!
The most suitable transport he had at hand was Old Seven¡¯s horse.
Dean McKenzie bargained with Old Seven to borrow his horse.
When Old Seven heard Dean McKenzie¡¯s request, his whole skeleton was shocked.
His bones quivered, his pupil fire flickered, and he looked at Dean McKenzie incredulously.
It seemed like what Dean McKenzie wanted to borrow was not his horse, but his newlywed young wife.
He eventually lent it to him, but the way Dean McKenzie looked at the unicorn skeleton horse made Old Seven feel heartbroken, as if Dean McKenzie wasmitting a ¡®sin before him¡¯.
In the end, Dean McKenzie could only take apromise.
He asked Old Six to build a horse cart for him, and let Old Seven pull it along.
This time, it was Old Six¡¯s turn to be dumbfounded.
As his pupil fire swayed, he grumbled to Dean McKenzie, showing that this was not a task for him, he was an architect, not a carpenter.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t understand though.
In desperation, Old Six called out Old Eight, the full-time trantor.
He would say a sentence, and Old Eight would trante it.
After Old Eight¡¯s trantion, Dean McKenzie said he understood and patted Old Six¡¯s shoulder with appreciation.
¡°Very well, I was ready to drop the idea, but since you are so enthusiastic, I¡¯ll assign this task to you. Do it well; I am counting on you!¡±
After that, Dean McKenzie went into the Tomb of Bones, leaving Old Six stunned.
Didn¡¯t he make it clear that he couldn¡¯t do this task?
Didn¡¯t he say that he was busy researching the new prison and could not divert his attention?
How did it end up being his task again?
It was Old Eight!
Old Six immediately med Old Eight.
It¡¯s definitely the fault of this ipetent trantor.
At this moment, Old Six even figured out how to handle the anti-assassination building scheme that Doggy Two had suggested to him.
What Old Six didn¡¯t know was that Old Eight was also doubting his life¡¯s existence.
For the first time, he doubted his trantion abilities. Could it be that he really tranted it wrongly?
The innocent Old Eight had no idea.
It¡¯s not his trantion that was wrong!
Even if his trantion was perfect, it couldn¡¯t be understood by those who weren¡¯t willing to understand.
After tricking Old Eight, Dean McKenzie entered the Tomb of Bone, and immediately took out his storage ring, spilling out the stuff inside.
¡°Perfect! I haven¡¯t sorted out all the items from the instance raid up to now. This is a good opportunity to do it!¡± Dean McKenzie said.
As Dean McKenzie spoke, a hill-like pile of items alreadyid in front of him.
In fact, the items taken out by Dean McKenzie were fewer but more valuable.
He was too busy to sort them out, but he knew that they were good.
Among them were items dropped by the Stitched Monster.
He also had things from the fallen profession at the ckwater Mine, as well as the President of the ckwater City branch.
A mountain-like pile of several hundred items was in front of him.
The mostmon ones were skill books.
Dean McKenzie had gotten hundreds of them at ckwater City alone. He also obtained some from a fifth-turn creature.
However, while they were numerous, most were skills for Thir-turn or below.
There were not many skills for Thir-turn and above.
Skills for Fourth-turn and above were even less, with only five such!
These were the mage¡¯s fourth-turn skill ¡°Flying Skill¡±, the archer¡¯s fourth-turn skill ¡°Death Arrow¡±,
the warrior¡¯s ¡°Steel Bones¡± skill at fourth-turn, the assassin¡¯s fourth-turn skill ¡°Forced Decapitation¡±
and a Fifth-turn knight skill ¡°Knight¡¯s Heart¡±.
Dean McKenzie had decided how to allocate the other four skills.
Death Arrow would go to Old Nine, Forced Decapitation to Old Eight, Knight¡¯s Heart to Old Seven, while themon mage skill Flying Skill would be reserved for himself. After all, Old Six didn¡¯t fly.
Only the warrior skill Steel Bones was difficult for him to decide, whether to give it to Old Two or Old Four.
He had a look at the skill¡¯s attributes.
Skill Book: Steel Bones
Learn Requirements: Fourth-turn warrior, 3000 physique
Effects: 1 physique point increases 20 fixed defense passively. After activation, the defense can be increased 20 times in a short period of time!
Considering the skill effects, it would pair well with Old Four. But this skill could alsopensate for Old Two¡¯s defense inadequacies to a certain extent.
After some hesitation, Dean McKenzie finally made up his mind.
¡°Give it to Old Two. With the Guardian Shield, Old Four¡¯s defense is already tens of millions, it doesn¡¯t need this extra bit!¡±
Yeah, a man always cares about his first time.
Doggy Two was the first guard Dean McKenzie had trained. He had a soft spot for it.
After assigning the skills, Dean McKenzie sorted out the hillside-like pile of items again.
He quickly found a few items that he deemed important.
Two of those items were obtained by Dean McKenzie himself.
23 pieces of the Secret Realm Modification Scroll and Secret Realm Crystals each!
¡°These two items are quite useful, 23 Secret Realm Crystals, enough to modify thews of the Secret Realm¡¯s space to a certain extent.
I can try and see if I can transform the Land of Bone into the Time Cottage!¡±
Dean McKenzie carefully stowed these items away, pondering how to use them, his gaze falling on the remaining objects.
Name: Fifth-turn Task Scroll.
Usage Condition: Level 100
Description: If the level condition is met, upon opening, it automatically generates a fifth-turn promotion quest. Completing the quest yields promotion.
Name: Deputy Promotion Order (no task version)
Description: After using it, the target instantly gets a deputy position.
Times Remaining: 5/5
There are also 3 instance scrolls, ranging from levels 81 to 100.
Out of hundreds of items, Dean McKenzie picked these items that caught his eye.
After tallying these items, Dean McKenzie promptly stored them and then skillfullyid back into the coffin deep inside the Bone Tomb!
This building, one may say, is Dean McKenzie¡¯s favorite building crafted by Old Six.
After it was erected, Dean McKenzie urged Old Six to enhance it from time to time.
And over time, this building has indeed risen by one star.
Name: Bone Tomb
Building Level: Intermediate (2-Star)
Effects: Once inside the tomb, you¡¯ll feel the embrace of darkness, giving you a sense of tranquility. Your affinity with darkness increases, thus increasing your efficiency in learning dark system skills by 350%.
Death Epiphany (There¡¯s a coffin deep within the tomb; it can be opened once a month. Lying inside may grant a chance toprehend the Death Epiphany, definitely improving your skill proficiency in the dark attribute, with a 1% probability of enlightenment, causing mutation or enhancement in skills)
These are the attributes at 2-Star.
The differencepared to before is not very significant.
Efficiency has increased from 300% to 350%.
The effects of Death Epiphany now have a defined chance, from being stated as having a probability to now being 1%.
Although the chance is not high, each time Dean McKenzie lies in it, he feels that he might encounter it.
This time was no different, as heid in the coffin full of hope¡
Half an hourter, Dean McKenzie, with a disappointed face, pushed open the coffin.
¡°Bad luck, didn¡¯t encounter it again!¡±
Indeed, this time Dean McKenzie did not just fail to encounter that 1% chance for skill mutation or enhancement, none of the skills he had improved at all.
However, there¡¯s nothing he could do about this. After receiving Crohn¡¯s inheritance, the levels of the skills he possessed greatly increased.
Just relying on one ¡®Death Epiphany¡¯ is insufficient for Dean McKenzie¡¯s skills to level up.
However, there were some results from this attempt.
¡°The Bone Fang skill has improved to 97% of Level 9, not too far from Level 10.
Generally speaking, skills are maxed out at Level 10.1 wonder if it is the same for my enhanced skill.
Anyway, the carriage from Old Six probably isn¡¯t ready yet, so why don¡¯t I try and level up this skill first?¡±
When Dean says it, he does it!
He began brushing up the Bone Fang skill right within the Bone Tomb.
With a 350% enhancement from the Bone Tomb, more importantly, Dean McKenzie felt at home here, which greatly improved his skill brushing efficiency.
With Dean¡¯s nearly 170 thousand mana avable without limit, his Bone Fang skill proficiency rose rapidly.
Within one hour, Dean managed to brush up the remaining 3% of the skill proficiency.
Your skill ¡°Bone Fang¡± has been upgraded to Level 10!
Skill: Bone Fang (Strengthened 3 times) (Remaining enhancement times: 2 times)
Level: 10+1 (122/50 million)
Skill consumption: 50000 Mana points.
Skill damage: Spiritual Power plus Magic Strength multiplied by 25 plus (68698 times 2)
This is the Level 10 Bone Fang skill.
The trait effect had no changes, but the basic effect has increased significantly.
The increase reached the range of a fourth-turn skill.
Of course, while the skill damage has greatly increased, so has the consumption. With each cast of Bone Fang requiring 50,000 Mana, it¡¯s nothing short of shocking!
However, there¡¯s a reason for the high Mana consumption.
This skill might not be very powerful in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands right now, but once he reaches the fourth-turn, this skill could be a formidable weapon that can mow down everything in its path.
¡°Hmm, I¡¯m already Level 80, and I can promote. I must hurry up andplete the promotion!¡±
With Dean¡¯s current umtion, once the promotion isplete, he can run rampant in the realm of the fifth-turn.
However, even though Dean is now of sufficient level and a Promotion Temple has been moved into the Land of Bone, there is still a problem: hecks the materials for promotion.
Although there are some materials in ckwater City, those materials can only initiate the process for a nightmare difficulty promotion.
Even with the so-called blessing of the Wraith God improving the nightmare difficulty to hell mode, if possible, Dean still wants to try promoting under Hell Mode, testing what level the blessing of the Wraith God can elevate the difficulty of the promotion to.
If hepletes the promotion at that level, what sort of enhancement will he get?

When Dean McKenzie emerged from the Bone Tomb, Old Six had reluctantly brought the carriage out.
However, when Dean saw the ¡°carriage¡±, he was dumbstruck.
¡°Are you telling me this thing is a carriage?¡±
Dean pped the giant coffin that was two meters long, one and a half meters wide and high, and stared at Old Six.
Old Six¡¯s Pupil Fire flickered, defiantly managing to justify it.
How could it not be considered one?
¡°Who makes carriages like this?
Can someone even sit in this thing, hey!
Just as Dean was grumbling, he suddenly noticed the coffin, or rather, the carriage had attribute points.
Name: Old Six¡¯s Special Carriage
Category: Mobile Building
Level: Junior (3-Star)
Effects: Movement speed increases with travel time (1% per minute) (up to 200%!),fort level increased by 200, intimidation increased by 200
ps: A knight pulling a coffin, are you scared?
Staring at these attributes, Dean suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
¡°Fine, a coffin it is then!¡±
Afterward, Dean hitched this thing onto Old Seven¡¯s warhorse,id down inside
it, and let Old Seven pull him around.
Over on Old Seven¡¯s side, fearing that Dean would try and snatch the little mare again, the moment the coffin was hitched up, off he sped.
As Old Seven started running, he discovered that pulling this coffin didn¡¯t slow him down, but instead increased his speed.
Furthermore, the longer he ran, the faster he became.
This made Old Seven even more excited, it gave him a sense of speed.
So, an intriguing scene emerged on Rouge. A perfect quality Skeleton Knight was pulling a massive coffin at an unbelievably fast pace.
Fast as a sh!
Prodigiously imposing!
Scaring half to death countless of cute little nts and children along the way.
With a relentless momentum, Dean plunged into the Ten Thousand Mountains of the South Barbarian.
The tens of thousands of miles of distance took less than four days to traverse while Dean wasid inside the coffin.
Although Dean was inside the coffin for these four days, he was aware of the outside situation.
On one hand, because Old Seven was his skeleton, and on the other hand, because of Old Six¡¯s excellent craftsmanship.
This coffin that appearedpletely sealed, in reality, allowed one to see the outside.
So, if not to say Dean had aplete understanding of the outside world, at least he was very well-informed.
As soon as they reached the South Barbarian border, Dean immediately had Old
Seven stop and let him out, and then he brought out Old Eight.
Since they¡¯ve arrived, Dean certainly nned to integrate with the locals.
After all, he was a human, a social animal. He might not necessarily interact with people, but he couldn¡¯t separate from society.
Dean was no exception.
He might be a recluse till the ends of the earth, but he couldn¡¯t break off from societypletely.
Not to mention far-off matters, he hadn¡¯t gathered all the materials for his fourth-turn promotion.
in his Promotion Temple, Dean had tried and figured out the materials needed
for his four-turn Hell Mode.
Currently, he was still missing three items.
These were the Wraith Gem, Rotten Heart, and The Immortal¡¯s Body
respectively.
All three items had to be at least gold-quality items of the fourth-turn.
All were hard to find. If Dean were to look for them himself, he didn¡¯t know when he would find them.
Dean could only hope to find them in the marketces within South Barbarian territory.
As far as Dean knew, there were quite a fewrge and small marketces in the South Barbarian territory, dealing not only with products from the Ten Thousand Mountains but also with items transported from various other ces. With luck, Dean could find what he was looking for in these markets. Now, Dean¡¯s main task was to familiarise himself with the surroundings and locate these marketces.
For gathering information, Dean of course relied on Old Eight.
After sending him out, it took the little guy half a day to scout out the area within twenty miles before reporting back to Dean with a mix of gestures and drawings.
¡°What are these gestures supposed to mean?
I don¡¯t get it, I don¡¯t understand at all!¡±
This time Dean wasn¡¯t messing with Old Eight, he genuinely didn¡¯t understand what Old Eight was gesturing.
The main issue was that after Old Eight¡¯s failed trantion attemptst time, he solemnly redeveloped a new way tomunicate, believing that the new method would surely make Dean understand. But instead, Dean just sapped him back to his old method of trantion.
Feeling wronged, Old Eight tranted everything once again using the old method, which Dean finally understood.
¡ö¡öWhy didn¡¯t you do this from the start? You¡¯ve just been wasting time there making all those nonsensical gestures!¡±
¡°No more of these confusing gimmicks next time, tranting is all I¡¯m good for, everything else is too exhausting!¡±
Dean McKenzie encouraged while patting Old Eight¡¯s shoulder. Having his shoulder patted, Old Eight started questioning his very existence. Upon receiving information from Old Eight, Dean McKenzie headed straight in the southwest direction, and not far off, he spotted a tribe.
A tribe where modern aesthetics and primitiveness intertwined.
The tribal gate was a colossal snake¡¯s head, a good ten meters high, with its mouth wide open.
Lining alongside the snake¡¯s head gate was a metal fence stretching several kilometers, encircling the entire tribe.
ording to the information provided by Old Eight, the strongest entity in this tribe should be at the Fifth-turn level.
There was a small market inside, where other members of the Alliance like Dean McKenzie were trading.
The mentality towards foreigners differed among the South Barbarian tribes. Some tribes actively embraced foreigners, seeking knowledge from them to advance the tribe. Yet, some tribes were extremely wary of outsiders. If one rashly ventured into the territory of the second kind, they¡¯d either be banished or killed on the spot.
Apparently, the tribe in front of Dean McKenzie was on the more liberal side. As Dean approached, he saw two gatekeepers standing under the snake heads. One on the left wore animal skins and went bare-armed, exuding a wild aura, while the other dressed in Alliance clothes.
The stark contrast between wildness and civilization presented quite a spectacle.
Upon spotting Dean McKenzie approaching, the one in Alliance attire came over and asked in the Alliance¡¯snguage, ¡°Is this your first time visiting our Giant Serpent Tribe?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°If you wish to enter our Giant Serpent Tribe, you¡¯ll need to register. Here¡¯s the form!¡±
He spoke and handed Dean McKenzie a form.
Upon inspection, Dean McKenzie found the form consisted of routine questions.
Name, gender, age, affiliation, profession, level¡
Dean McKenzie was familiar with such forms.
He filled in ¡°Bruce Hodge¡± for the name, male for his gender, age 28, warrior for his profession, level 80. For the affiliated force, Dean McKenzie simply wrote ¡®Prefer not to say¡¯.
While Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t take the form filling too seriously, the staff who collected it was simrly cavalier. After verifying that Dean McKenzie was indeed a warrior and was at level 80 using a tool, the staff simply charged him one Gold coin and gave him a wooden badge. That was it.
¡°You may enter and exit the tribal market freely with this badge. Please stay within the market unless necessary, or it may lead to unwanted misunderstandings!¡±
¡°Alright¡±
Then the Alliance guy called over a kid who led Dean McKenzie into their tribal market.
Throughout the journey, Dean McKenzie took in everything around him. The unique architecture of the Giant Serpent Tribe and its people! Dean realized that the Barbarians and the Alliance people were fairly simr. They had a slightly deeper skin tone, bronzed, with a hint of wildness. Other than that, there was no notable difference.
The kid leading Dean around was as vivacious as theye.
He constantly babbled on, asking Dean about the outside world, insatiably curious about everything beyond his world.
From the child¡¯s relentless curiosity and energy, it was clear to Dean that he had been well taken care of by his tribe.
So when the boy started fantasizing excessively about the Alliance, Dean promptly threw cold water on his dreams, ¡°The Alliance does have its perks, but there are also many viins who love to eat children.
Especially sturdy and resilient ones like you, you¡¯ll taste delicious when roasted!¡±
The terrifying words, coupled with a menacing tone, left the little boy crying a river.
Dean McKenzie felt extremely awkward throughout.
It wasn¡¯t until he bought the boy a few steamed buns that the crying abated.
Right, the moment the buns arrived, the boy was all smiles.
Dean couldn¡¯t help but suspect he¡¯d been swindled.
But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t mind this behavior.
Having seen so much darkness in the Alliance, even the mischievous behavior of the children, which would have annoyed him in his pre-transmigration life, felt endearing here among the South Barbarians.
Upon reaching the marketce, the little fe led Dean McKenzie to a tavern, where a pretty girl with a striking resemnce to the boy came out to greet Dean McKenzie.
With a glimpse, Dean McKenzie noticed the boy acting all obedient, adoringly addressing the girl as ¡®sister¡¯ and even offered his delicious buns to her. It became quite clear to Dean whose tavern this was.
Nheless, Dean McKenzie ended up staying at this small tavern.
One reason was that the tavern was jointly managed by a mother and her two children who were quite delightful. Another was that despite its dimensions, the tavern was nicely decorated and offered pretty good value for money. At one Silver Coin per night, Dean McKenzie decided to stay.
After settling in, Dean McKenzie wandered around the market alone.
The Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s market wasn¡¯trge, merely a few thousand square meters.
Despite being leisurely in his explore, it only took two or three hours for Dean McKenzie toplete a full round.
After this exploration, Dean McKenzie was, however, a bit disappointed.
He found that the primary customers in this market seemed to be the ones below the Third-turn level. There was hardly anything for the Fourth-turn level.
¡°It seems unlikely to find my materials in this market. But to be fair, I didn t expect to find any in this market, to begin with!¡±
Dean McKenzie came to this market partially to try his luck but primarily to settle here and further explore the South Barbarian region using this market as a gateway.
Upon reaching a new ce, the first order of business for Dean McKenzie, heeding the advice of Anthony, was always to familiarize himself with the area!

Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie stayed in the Giant Serpent Tribe for half a month. In that half month, Dean McKenzie was doing one thing, spending money! He spent a lot of money!
Working from morning until night, Dean McKenzie would immediately spend money whenever he saw something suitable.
It didn¡¯t matter if it was various skill books, various job-rted items, various skill inheritance, even all sorts of materials.
As long as Dean McKenzie took a liking to it, he would buy everything with a wave of his hand.
His current wealth was so staggering, he held tens of thousands of gold coins in his hand. Under normal consumption without enhancing skills, he simply couldn¡¯t spend it all on things below third-turn level.
Even though Dean McKenzie had been spending money for half a month, he had spent less than two or three thousand gold coins.
The result of Dean McKenzie¡¯s extravagant spending was that, after half a month, he was widely recognized in the market as a rich and naive sheep. As for this, Dean McKenzie was not concerned at all.
Dean McKenzie already had a basic understanding of the situation in the Giant Serpent Tribe. The strongest leader is a fifth-turn existence that was 120-level, Dean McKenzie was not afraid of him at all.
To be frank, Dean McKenzie can just stand there, and that leader wouldn¡¯t be able to break through Defense McKenzie¡¯s defense.
Even if he could, Dean McKenzie had a trump card in his hand.
Dean McKenzie had no worry about anyone below 6-turns could pose a threat to him.
And with no fear of any threat, Dean McKenzie¡¯s spending behavior brought no major disadvantage to him.
Moreover, it had its benefits.
Half a month of spending had allowed Dean McKenzie to quickly blend into this market.
Wherever he went, anyone who saw him would greet him with a smile and try to please him.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t need to personally strive for what he wanted to achieve, he only needed to express it slightly, and someone would get it done perfectly¡¯ for him.
¡°Mr. Lee, these are the temtes of the Undead Skeleton series you wanted, I specifically collected them for you.
There s a total of 3422 temtes, please have a look!¡±
Early in the morning, someone came to Dean McKenzie with more than 3000 temtes, respectfully presenting them for him to scrutinise.
Dean McKenzie, on the other hand, leisurely finished his breakfast before taking the list from the person to briefly look at.
[Fragile Skeleton Warrior (Ordinary Temte) 1200 pieces
Fragile Skeleton Archer (Ordinary Temte) 800 pieces
Fragile Skeleton Mage (Ordinary Temte) 300 pieces
Fragile Skeleton Knight (Elite) 400 pieces
Skeleton Warrior Temte (Elite) 400 pieces
Skeleton Archer Temte (Elite) 200 pieces
Skeleton Mage Temte (Elite) 100 pieces
Skeleton Giant (Excellent) 22 pieces]
Seeing these temtes, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a mix of surprise and shock.
On the first day Dean McKenzie started spending, he revealed that he wanted to buy Skeleton Temtes at a high price inrge quantities.
In this half month, Dean McKenzie had also bought some, but this is the first time he got such arge quantity and high-quality collection.
Especially the Skeleton Giant Temte, an excellent quality temte, this was the first time Dean McKenzie saw one.
Dean McKenzie was quite satisfied with the batch of goods the person brought, and he didn¡¯t hide it: ¡°Very good, I quite like these. Quote a price!¡± ¡°Mr. Lee, this is our quotation!¡±
The middle-aged man handed another piece of paper to Dean McKenzie. [Ordinary Temtes 2300 pieces, each 1 silver coin, total 23 gold coins Elite Temtes 1100 pieces, each 10 silver coins, total no gold coins Excellent Temtes 22 pieces, each 10 gold coins, total 220 gold coins Total: 353 gold coins]
Dean McKenzie understood that the other party did not make much profit from the ordinary and elite temtes, probably only about too gold coins. But they made at least 200 gold coins from the excellent temtes.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t haggle with them.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll do it like this!¡±
Some money was meant to be made by others. Otherwise, if Dean McKenzie were to collect these himself, he would not be able to collect these temtes no matter how long he tried.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie did not have the time.
In addition, as a big spender in the marketce, Dean McKenzie was already prepared to be fleeced.
So, Dean McKenzie readily gave him the money and then asked, ¡°Do you have any more Skeleton Giant temtes?¡±
¡°We do!¡±
The middle-aged man¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°If Mr. Lee needs them, we can get some more for you!¡±
Get as many as you can for me, also help me get some other excellent
temtes, money won¡¯t be an issue as long as I like the stuff!¡±
Dean McKenzie had an attitude of not caring about the money.
And indeed, it was true.
After all, he made money rtively fast, and much of it was made off others.
When spending such money, Dean McKenzie did not feel the slightest heartache.
¡°Mr. Lee is quite generous, I¡¯ll set it up right away¡¡±
¡°Hold on, there¡¯s no rush on that. Aside from these temtes, can you manage to get your hands on these four items?¡±
Dean McKenzie stopped the middle-aged man in his tracks, moring to leave. He showed him the three types of materials he required for his Fourth-turn, as well as the Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher he¡¯d once used.
The sight of these items had the middle-aged man in a daze, a troubled expression on his face.
¡°Mr. Lee, your lock is on these items that are all Fourth-turn level, and require gold quality. My capabilities are limited and it¡¯s hard to get ahold of such items.¡±, the middle-aged man exined.
Seeing the discontent in Dean¡¯s face, he quickly added: ¡°It¡¯s really not within my power. This marketce is just too small. My reach isn¡¯t enough to get these items¡¡±
Dean wasn¡¯t listening to these exnations. With a swift wave of his hand, he triggered the money-spending mode he¡¯d developed since arriving at this new tribe: ¡°5000 gold coins!¡±
Clumsily, he pulled out 5000 gold coins. The middle-aged man still wore a pained expression, indicating that this mission was beyond his abilities. It really was too difficult!
It was unforeseeable!
If he deployed the four items for 5000 gold coins, he wouldn¡¯t make much profit, he may even suffer losses.
Spending his time this way wasn¡¯t as profitable as earning money through selling temtes.
However, he didn¡¯t dare refuse outright. After all, finding a big spender like
Dean was rare, and good rtions needed to be maintained.
Mr. Lee, since I¡¯m unable to do it, why not try the Giant Bear Tribe? The marketce there has a higher level and it may be easier¡¡±
The middle-aged man was cut off mid-sentence by Dean McKenzie: ¡°Excuse me, sir. I think you might have misunderstood something. I didn¡¯t mean 5000 coins m total, but 5000 coins per item. That¡¯s 5000 coins each!¡±
The moment Dean said this, the middle-aged man was absolutely stunned. Suddenly, his face flushed.
¡°Are you, are you serious!¡±
Without wasting any more words, Dean directly emptied 20,000 gold coins
onto the table in front of the middle-aged man.
The money¡¯s here. It¡¯s up to you whether you can take it or not!¡±
Eyeing the mini mountain of 20,000 gold coins before his eyes, he seemed to struggle for breath. His eyes turned bright red: ¡°Mr. Lee, please wait for me. Five days, at most in five days I will definitely deliver you your goods!¡± What was that saying again?
Money talks!
Stimted by this amount of money right in front of him,
Theck of authority or obstacles seemed to pose no problem to him anymore.
Now, his only fear was that Dean might delegate this task to someone else which would lose him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strike it rich. To prevent this possibility and to avoid Dean refusing to acknowledge his efforts, the middle-aged man even drew up a contract and had Dean sign it. Dean didn¡¯t hesitate, he made sure there was no problem with the contract and signed his name directly.
With the contract drawn up, the middle-aged man known as Boris Holt, who couldn¡¯t help blushing when signing, left Dean to get the four materials. Watching Boris leaving, Dean McKenzie was full of expectations.
The 20,000 coins he handed over, he really expected Boris to earn.
On the one hand, Dean knew that Boris was backed by a significant business association, whose influence was prominent in the South Barbarian area, should be able to get the goods.
On the other hand, he really didn¡¯t want to leave the Giant Serpent Tribe. The main reason was his past experiences. Ever since he left Spring City, he had been continuously targeted and beaten by those with higher levels and strength than him.
Dean was done with living like that.
Therefore, unless necessary, he didn¡¯t want to step into territories controlled by people stronger than him.
Boris had said that the Giant Bear Tribe was powerful and its leader was of the
Six-turn. They were rumors of the existence of a Seven-turn creature. Dean didn t feel safe in a ce like that. If he could avoid going, he would.
If he really needed to go, he would only consider it after he himself achieved the Fourth-turn.
¡°I¡¯ve prepared the money for him. Hopefully, this little brat will earn it. Now, let¡¯s try out these temtes!¡±
Dean spoke and, carrying the temtes, entered the Land of Bone.
The temtes Dean had previously acquired were basically Ordinary
Temtes. The sole Elite Temte was of the Skeleton Knight and was already upgraded to Perfect Temte.
Therefore, Dean didn¡¯t know if he would need another Elite Temte to summon a skeleton using an Elite Temte like the Skeleton Warrior.
However, he quickly found out the results of this experiment.
You have sessfully used the Skeleton Warrior (Elite) Temte to Summon
Skeleton. A Skeleton Warrior (Elite) (Level 85) has been summoned. You have gained 500 Skill proficiency points!¡±
No need!
Seeing this, Dean¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up!
¡°In this case, these few hundred gold coins are well worth it. I can save quite a lot on temtes!¡±
Following that, Dean opened his attribute page to check the attributes of his Summon Skeleton skill.
The skill proficiency was at 87% at Level 8.
It wasn¡¯t far from Level 9.
¡°If I use up all the temtes in my hands, the Summon Skeleton skill should be able to reach Level 9, should I do it? Enhance Summon Skeleton to Level 9, and extract attribute essences from these summoned skeletons to enhance my Summon Skeleton skill to Level 4?¡±
Dean estimated that if he proceeded with this n, he could get Summon
Skeleton to Level 4. There was a possibility that the levels of Doggy Two and the others could be upgraded to the Fifth-turn.
Although he might not be able to summon them for now, once he achieved the Fourth-turn, he would be able to.
At that point, not only would Dean¡¯s strength skyrocket, Doggy Two and the others¡¯ strength could also dramatically increase, allowing them to keep up with Dean¡¯s strength.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it that way!¡±
Chapter 220:159 Summon Skeleton Four Strong, Extraordinary Template
Chapter 220:159 Summon Skeleton Four Strong, Extraordinary Temte
Trantor: 549690339
After seeing off Boris Holt, Dean McKenzie once again entered his frenzy of summoning at the Land of Bone.
To ensure that the level of [Summon Skeleton] could indeed increase, Dean decided to use the summons within the [Bone Tomb],
With a 350% experience increase inside the tomb and a subsequent 100% enhancement from [Control over Bones], the final effect would equal a 7x improvement.
Even with Dean¡¯s basic ability to summon skeletons, he could gain 70 skill proficiency points.
With an Ordinary Temte, the proficiency could increase to 350.
If Dean used an Elite Temte, he could achieve a proficiency of 3,500 points. This allowed him to improve his proficiency very quickly.
As Dean gained proficiency, he sacrificed skeletons and made preparations for enhancing the Summon Skeleton skill.
Extracting one skeleton contributed between 200 and 300 attribute points.
With an average of 10 per minute, Dean could summon 600 skeletons in an hour.
Dean summoned skeletons non-stop for two days and nights straight. Although he had exceeded the 900-minute mark, it wasn¡¯t a big problem as any attribute points gained after this time limit would automatically go towards improving the proficiency of his ¡®talent.¡¯
In less than two days, Dean had collected the 5 million proficiency points required for Level 4 of his talent. Now he needed only 10 high-quality talent stones to level up.
He still had an extra 3.5 million proficiency points left over.
After two days of hard work, his Summon Skeleton skill had finally reached Level 9!
[Your skill [Summon Skeleton] has been raised to Level 9, you can now start the fourth enhancement!]
[You have initiated the fourth enhancement of [Summon Skeleton], you have 150 minutes of skill enhancement time.]
[You have spent 140,000 gold coins, transferring 350 attribute points into Summon Skeleton for enhancement focused on individual strength!] [You spent 200 gold coins to integrate 1,000 high-quality essences into Summon Skeleton!]
[Your skill [Summon Skeleton] has been sessfully enhanced!]
Skill. Summon Skeleton +1 (Fourth Enhancement)
Level: 9 (0/20 million)
Chant: Bone Servant of the Undying has explored the truth of death.
Base ability: Summon one Level 120 Undead Creature (Skeleton)
Temte Upgrade: Can use temtes to directly upgrade the Bone Series skeletons
Remaining Avable Temtes: 1 (Rare)
Simultaneous Existence Limit: 10/100
Mana Consumption: 25,000
Trait: Bone Sublimation (Level 6)
Bone Rebirth (Level 6)
The fourth enhancement of [Summon Skeleton] mainly improved the base attributes of the skeletons, raising the maximum attribute level of Doggy Two and the others from the initial Level 90 to Level 120, the pinnacle of Fifth-turn. This basically met Dean¡¯s expectations.
As long as he aplished the Fourth-turn, Doggy Two and the others could directly reach the peak of Fifth-turn.
Even now, their levels had directly reached the peak of the Fourth-turn at Level 100, showing a certain improvement in their power!
¡°Just the limit of this ¡®simultaneous existence¡¯ number. Ever since infusing the Undying Trait in Control Skeleton, the number never went beyond too.¡± These 100 slots could all be oveid by the Undying Trait from [Control Skeleton],
This means, they could all revive once a day.
This was an incredibly powerful ability, and Dean had always wanted to bolster his Undying Legion.
Previously he hadn¡¯t found anything suitable, but now he figured the Skeleton Giant was worth a try.
Just as [Summon Skeleton] was finished enhancing, and Dean still had a Rare Temte left, he decided to summon a Rare Temte Skeleton Giant and see. [You are using the [Skeleton Giant Temte] (Excellent) with [Rare Temte] to summon a skeleton!]
[You have sessfully summoned a [Skeleton Giant Warrior] (Rare) (Level 100), your skill [Summon Skeleton] gains 35,000 proficiency points!]
In the system prompt, a giant appeared before Dean, 10-meters tall, with an extraordinarily robust skeleton, donned in a light skeleton armor and wielding a massive hammer.
The Skeleton Giant warrior¡¯s attributes also showed up.
Name: Skeleton Giant Warrior
Temte: Rare
Level: 100
Trait: Strength of the Giant (ss C) (Passive: Within Level 100, each level boosts Strength by 50 points, and each Strength point boosts attack by 5 points)
Giant¡¯s Bones (ss C) (Passive: Within Level too, each level boosts Physique by 50 points, and each Physique point boosts defense by 5 points)
Attributes:
Strength: 15,126, Agility: 1,212, Physique: 15,402, Spirit: 3
Attack: 151,260
Defense: 154,020
Spirit Power: 250,000
Skill: Charge (Level 9)
One-turn: Giant Trampling (Level 7)
Second-turn: Giant Hammer (Level 4)
Equipped gear: Skeleton Battle Armor (Bronze) (Level 100), Skeleton Battle Hammer (Bronze) (Level 100)
These attributes seemed even more exaggerated than Old Four¡¯s.
Almost twice as strong, and these were only the base attributes.
The attributes from the ¡®King of Bones¡¯ brought by Control Skeleton and Doggy Two have not even been added yet. If added, these attributes could multiply by 4-
Of course, if it was just one Skeleton Giant, it would not necessarily be horrifying.
But if Dean could summon hundreds of them, the scene would indeed be terrifying.
If these hundreds of Skeleton Giants could all resurrect ¨C and Dean could revive them after death ¨C that would indeed be cause for despair.
¡°It seems like there is a lot of potential left to explore in the [Summon Skeleton] skill!¡±
At this moment, Dean couldn¡¯t help but have the urge to take out [Skill Fusion Scroll] tobine [Summon Skeleton] and [Control Skeleton],
¡°Hang on for a bit, I should hold off for now. The potential of both Summon Skeleton and Control Skeleton have not been fully tapped into yet. Once the levels of these two skills reach a certain height and are difficult to improve further, I¡¯ll go ahead andbine these two skills, and reset their levels then,¡± Dean thought..
Chapter 221 - 159 Summon Skeleton Four Strong, Extraordinary Template 2
159 Summon Skeleton Four Strong, Extraordinary Temte 2
Trantor: 549690339
After the sessful upgrade and enhancement of the Summon Skeleton skill,
Dean McKenzie did not immediately leave the Land of Bone.
Instead, he looked at another corner of the Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone had previously merged with the Fallen Demon Secret Realm, resulting in arge oasis appearing in his territory.
Now some time has passed, and the oasis in the Land of Bone has shrunk from originally being ten times the size of the Land of Bone, to less than a third of it.
Dean has controlled this one-third of the Land of Bone and has not allowed it to further encroach, since he has relocated the people he rescued from the ckwater Mine there.
Dean visited them whenever he had time, not face-to-face, but from a distance, through a omnipotent eye.
He initially thought that providing them with a patch of purend and abundant food in his territory would make them happy, but soon realized that reality wasn¡¯t what he had imagined.
He found that the people he saved and sheltered had be numb, decadent, and even moving towards depravity.
Seeing them in this state, he couldn¡¯t help but reflect; was it his intention to keep them like this for the rest of their lives?
No, this was not his original intention.
I m not a messiah, and I can¡¯t protect anyone forever. I just can¡¯t bear to let them go.
Since I¡¯ve let them live here, I can¡¯t let them fall into decadence.¡±
Based on this thought, Dean began to transform his Land of Bone.
Using the Secret Realm Modification Scroll and 23 Secret Realm Crystals, he deeply modified the Secret Realm.
Dean had originally nned to create a time cabin, but found that it would be impossible without hundreds of Secret Realm Crystals, so he instead changed other rules.
After investing all 23 Secret Realm Crystals, Dean modified several rules.
First, any ordinary human entering the Land of Bone automatically bes a citizen of it and, with Dean¡¯s approval, can freely enter and leave the Land of Bone.
Second, Dean can strip all the power from the citizens of the Land of Bone. Meanwhile, the benefits the citizens of the Land of Bone gain from killing monsters are under Dean¡¯s absolute control.
Third, after their death, the bodies of the citizens of the Land of Bone will return to the Land of Bone and transform into wraiths, while their souls can do as they please.
The mam aim of Dean setting these rules was to give people like Finch Olmedo a glimmer of hope for the future, while also being wary of them growing into thankless wolves who would eventually bite him.
After establishing these rules, Dean suddenly realized that he could use this method to build his own force and cultivaterge numbers of outstanding wraiths.
¡®If I bring lots of people into the Land of Bone and foster them, I might be able to cultivate arge number of high-quality wraiths. This way, I could easily harvest attribute points and temtes!¡±
Dean was tempted by this thought for a moment.
But he quickly came to his senses and pped himself: ¡°My original intention was to give those who have nowhere to go a sanctuary, to give them hope for the future, not to be the Bloody Church or the Professional Alliance, imposing suffering on them!¡±
No matter what Dean bes in the future, at least for now, this is what he believes.
Then, Dean earnestly created an environment for them.
First, he let Old Six set up the promotion ceremony equipment he brought from the ckwater Mine.
Then he reduced the power supply of 10 fourth-turn skeletons, using 90% of it on the promotion ceremony, so that it could operate a hundred times a day.
The operation rule was to use the pale skeletons killed by their own hands.
The source of the pale skeletons was Dean using the remaining 10% of power to cultivate arge number of them in the Land of Bone, thousands could be nurtured with the power supply of one fourth-turn skeleton.
Those skeletons were all ced around where Finch Olmedo and the others were living, invading intermittently.
Dean did this to give people like Finch Olmedo a sense of crisis and spur them to move forward.
AU of this was done by Dean since he arrived at South Barbarian, and now it¡¯s basically finished.
Today, when Dean looked over, someone had found the location of the promotion ceremony and had killed the pale skeleton, thuspleting the promotion.
Dean was delighted.
What made Dean even happier was that the person was Finch Olmedo.
Of everyone in the group, Dean¡¯s bond with him was the deepest, so naturally
he was very happy that he hadpleted the promotion.
Just as hepleted the promotion, his attribute values appeared in front of Dean.
Name: Finch Olmedo
Temte: Extraordinary (Thunderbolt Sword Qi Apprentice)
Identity: Citizen of Land of Bone

After reading these attributes, the smile on Dean¡¯s face became unnatural.
Especially when he thought about the four attributes he had when he had just changed his profession, he couldn¡¯t help but grind his teeth in anger.
¡°This kid deserves to die!¡±
Indeed, he is both afraid of seeing his brother suffer and his brother overtaking
After enduring countless hardships, he finally acquired a rare temte, only to find Finch Olmedo¡¯s temte was extraordinary from the start..

Dean McKenzie drooled at those attribute points and traits!
Though the fellow was just at Level 1, McKenzie could predict the terrifying power thisd would possess as he grew stronger.
Even now, hisbat capabilities were surprisingly substantial and abnormal. At the very least, those pale Skeletons outside their gathering ce were nothing more than stale shrimps and rotten fishes in his presence, as he could sweep them away singlehandedly.
The promoted Finch Olmedo dove right in.
He didn¡¯t even brandish a sword, his fists punching down one Little Skeleton after another.
Shortly, he had reduced the thousands of Skeletons to just a few hundred. Watching Olmedo demonstrate his prowess, McKenzie was incredibly frustrated.
However, Olmedo didn¡¯t keep fighting indefinitely. After causing a ruckus for an hour and letting off steam from the joy of his promotion, he stopped the ughter, instead starting to capture the Skeletons alive, dragging them to the gathering ce.
McKenzie didn¡¯t react at first, only understanding when Olmedo brought a barely intact Skeleton to a dying old man, helped the old man kill it, and then assisted the old man in beginning his Promotion Ceremony.
A smile appeared on his face.
¡°Thisd!¡±
McKenzie was reminded of Anthony in Olmedo.
Both were good Samaritans.
Afterpleting his own ss promotion, the first thing Olmedo thought of was helping others with theirs.
With Olmedo¡¯s help, quickly, the hundred or so people in the gathering ce all underwent the Promotion Ceremony.
Although they all proceeded with the ceremony, not all were sessful.
After all, this Promotion Ceremony was pretty basic. Even though the sess rate had increased due to Old Six¡¯s amendments and the Power of Land of Bone, it still wasn¡¯t more than one out of ten.
Out of over a hundred people, only ten odd people seeded in their promotions.
Furthermore, not everyone chose to be abatant. Of the 14, six chose to be craftsmen while eight chose abat profession.
As for Temtes, apart from Olmedo, the best they could find was the Excellent Temte.
McKenzie only felt a bit relieved after seeing this.
If there were anymore Extraordinary ones, he felt that he would lose his mind. ¡°The Promotion Ceremony can be attempted once a day by each individual.
Given Olmedo¡¯s pace, it won¡¯t be long before everyone in the Settlement Area bes a Promoted professional.
It seems I will have to add some content for them.
Otherwise, the over 1000 pale Skeletons, all of which are below Level 10, will quickly be insufficient for their leveling!¡±
As he watched Olmedo¡¯s promotions, McKenzie muttered to himself.
This issue wasn¡¯t big, as the highest level of Skeleton that could be naturally brought forth by the Land of Bone was 61.
If he could provide more energy, he could bolster the Skeletons¡¯ strength. ¡°Besides, I found plenty of Instance Scrolls from ckwater City, ranging from One-turn to Third-turn. I¡¯ll put them in a treasure chest and throw it over there with a powerful Skeleton acting as a guard to make it look presentable.
If he can defeat it, let him take the Instance Scrolls.
Based on thisd¡¯s abilities, he should be able to get some good results.
Also, let¡¯s move the Promotion Temple over. Let¡¯s train thisd as soon as possible and then throw him out to work for me. Seeing him all day long annoys me!¡±
McKenzie resolutely said, pulling his attention away from Olmedo.
No more watching, it just makes him feel worse.
Over the following few days, McKenzie continued to y his role as the big spender.
However, his reputation had already been built up, he no longer had to go to the marketce himself.
Everyone in the marketce knew there was this spendthrift sheep.
They would bring any good items to McKenzie¡¯s inn of their own ord.
Thanks to McKenzie¡¯s generosity, his small inn was always packed. Plenty of salespeople visited every day, they even rented rooms next to McKenzie¡¯s.
Their goal was to be near this plump sheep and profit off him.
This didn¡¯t bother McKenzie.
In fact, he had deliberately cultivated this atmosphere. There were just too many people seeking him each day, McKenzie couldn¡¯t handle them all himself, so he had no choice but to hire the brother-sister duo from the inn to be his greeters.
At the same time, he set his meeting hours.
From nine in the morning till three in the afternoon.
Indeed, McKenzie had honestly turned spending money into a job.
Fulfilling this role, brought McKenzie considerable benefits.
During these days, McKenzie purchased a sizable number of Skeleton Temtes, amassing nearly ten thousand, with three to four thousand of them being high-quality ones.
Unfortunately, none of them were Excellent or higher.
This was normal, however, as high-quality Skeleton Temtes were rare in themselves and have a low drop rate. Furthermore, a downgrade in quality urred when the temte dropped.
Excellent Temtes required a Rare Skeleton in order to drop. Additionally, with the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s market not being sizeable, the chronic scarcity was normal.
Besides the temtes, what McKenzie cared most about were Instance Scrolls, various items, and lots of goods rted to secondary professions.
Regarding the secondary professions, not many had transferred, but McKenzie had obtained quite a few blueprints ranging from Level 0 to 3. He had spent a hefty sum to collect them.
After gathering them, McKenzie moved them to the Land of Bone to see if the Skeletons there were interested and if it was possible to train them.
If it wasn¡¯t feasible, McKenzie would then move them to the Gathering ce.
There were already quite a few secondary professionals there. He could still tram these people as they were all citizens of the Land of Bone.
They belonged to him when they were alive, and they were his Skeletons after they died..

Those people still need Dean McKenzie to put money into them right now, but Dean McKenzie has a feeling that as long as he gives them a little time, they will be able to provide Dean McKenzie with big surprises.
Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie is happily shing his cash, someone has already calcted Dean McKenzie¡¯s recent spending habits, and the information has been delivered to the chief of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
¡°Chief, this is the record of Bruce Hodge¡¯s spending since he came to our tribe half a month ago.
ording to statistics, he has already spent over 5600 Gold Coins in half a month.
This is just the documented transactions, it doesn¡¯t include any private dealings. If you count those as well, I conservatively estimate he has spent at least ten thousand Gold Coins!
Moreover, he shows no signs of stopping!
It is roughly estimated that his assets are at least between 30,000 to 50,000 Gold Coins.¡±
Before the chief of Giant Serpent Tribe, a short old man made his report, greed written all over his face.
¡°Chief, should we¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t have any foolish ideas!¡±
The chief of Giant Serpent Tribe interrupted the old man with a cold nce. ¡°Alliance people are craftier than you think. If he dares to be so bold in our tribe, it means he¡¯s confident in dealing with any surprises in our tribe, including me rallying the entire tribe against him.¡±
¡°Chief, he is just a Thir-turn¡¡±
The stupidity of the old man infuriates the chief, who grabs the man forcefully and says fiercely, ¡°How do you know what you see is what you get?
Also, use your pig brain. Would a Thir-turn warrior spend so much time and money buying so many Wraith-rted materials?¡±,
I¡¯ll say it again, don¡¯t entertain any foolhardy ideas.
Your foolish notions might just bring disaster upon our tribe!
If you can¡¯t control your thoughts, I won¡¯t hesitate to remove your ability to have those stupid ideas. Do you understand?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, I understand!¡±
¡°Good. This man wants to buy a Wraith Temte, right?
Go, use all the connections of our tribe and our reserve fund to buy high-quality Temtes for him as much as possible.
I believe, given his generosity, he won¡¯t mind us making an honest profit from him!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Listening to the potential of making money, the old man left with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, not far from the Giant Serpent Tribe, Boris Holt, who had left a few days ago, has returned. But he hasn¡¯te back alone.
Besides him, there were five other people.
These five individuals, each of them gives off an extremely terrifying aura, at least of Fifth-turn level.
They aren¡¯t just any Fifth-turn beings either.
Barely looking at their auras, all five of them seem to be of the Rare Temte level at the very least.
At this time, however, walking in the center of these five people, Boris Holt, you could see unease all over his face.
¡°Are we really going to make a move on Mr. Hodge?¡±
¡°What the hell are you bbering about? We are already at the Giant Serpent Tribe, and you are still talking nonsense?¡±
¡°No, if he dares to spend so extravagantly in Giant Serpent Tribe, it means he has the strength to not fear the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¡±
Boris Holt¡¯s words were interrupted by the leading man in the group. ¡°Him giving you 20,000 Gold Coins to buy four Materials, implies he has at least 200,000 Gold Coins.
Also, the fact that he¡¯d rather pay you an additional 15,000 Gold Coins rather than going to the Giant Bear Tribe himself shows that he doesn¡¯t dare go to the Giant Bear Tribe. So he has strength, but it doesn¡¯t exceed Six-turn level, no, it doesn¡¯t even reach Six-turn.
Moreover, those Material items are clearly needed for a Necromancer¡¯s Four-turn Hell Mode. So, this little fellow¡¯s true identity is likely a talented, no, a Monster level Thir-turn Necromancer.
To be precise, he is a Thir-turn, but he has Fifth-turnbat power.
You tell me, can¡¯t we five people take down a Thir-turn Necromancer?¡±
If Dean McKenzie was there at this moment, he would certainly be astonished by the man¡¯s analysis.
How could he deduce so much information with so little to go on? His intelligence was terrifying.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, this battle doesn¡¯t carry much risk.
As long as he doesn¡¯t break into Fourth-turn, we can easily deal with him!¡±
¡°But what if he breaks into Fourth-turn after getting his items?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that, the Giant Serpent Tribe doesn¡¯t have a Promotion Temple for Fourth-turns, he can¡¯t break into Fourth-turn!
We also won¡¯t give him a chance to do it.
The moment he leaves the Giant Serpent Tribe, we¡¯ll take him down directly. The benefits we reap from him at that time, you can take a tenth of those!
With a tenth of those gains plus the current profit of 15,000, you will gain at least 30,000 ¨C 40,000 in profit.
With 30,000 ¨C 40,000 Gold Coins, you will have enough to advance to the
Fifth-turn or even Six-turn level right?
You might only have this one chance to strike it rich in your life, you don¡¯t want to miss that, do you?¡±
Persuaded by the leader¡¯s enticements, Boris Holt¡¯s eyes hardened. He nodded his head emphatically¡ª done deal!

In the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s small market inn¡
¡°Mr. Hodge, your task has been fulfilled!¡±
After a five-daypse, Boris Holt appeared before Dean McKenzie once more, deferentially presenting four items.
In addition to the three materials Dean McKenzie required for his fourth-turn, there was also an Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher.
Dean was somewhat surprised upon seeing the voucher.
He had mentioned it offhandedly; he didn¡¯t expect the other party to actually manage it.
¡°Very good! Extremely good!¡±
After Dean used his Appraisal Skill to verify the authenticity of the items, he quickly handed over the money to Boris.
With twenty thousand gold coins at hand, Boris felt like he was floating.
He¡¯d never had so much money in his life. If the setting had been more appropriate, he would¡¯ve spilled all the gold coins out and freely revelled in his wealth.
However, Boris maintained hisposure at this moment; he did not forget his mission, and casually mentioned to Dean, ¡°Oh yes, Mr. Hodge, you intend to undergo the fourth-turn, right?
The Promotion Temple in the Giant Serpent Tribe only has three levels. You may need to go to the nearby Giant Lizard Tribe to find a fourth-turn Promotion Temple.¡±
Dean was taken aback when he heard this. Although Dean had a four-level Promotion Temple at his home, he wouldn¡¯t publicize such personal matters.
When faced with such a well-intended suggestion, Dean simply thanked him.
¡°Okay, thank you, I¡¯ll go in a few days!
The Giant Serpent Tribe says they have gathered a group of Skeleton Temtes. I¡¯ll wait to see these temtes before deciding!
And what about your temtes?¡±
¡°I have been too busy gathering these items over the past few days and didn¡¯t have the time to work on it!
¡°Barring unforeseen circumstances, I¡¯ll be staying in the Giant Serpent Tribe for another three to five days. If possible, get me some Skeleton Giant temtes during this period. I can double the price for you!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Boris agreed with a nod.
However,pared to before, he seemed a little absent-minded.
Then, Boris excused himself and left.
After Boris left, Dean didn¡¯t immediately embark on the trial, but instead used his gold coins on his daily expenditures and notified everyone. He let them know that he would be leaving the Giant Serpent Tribe within three to five days, telling them to bring forth any valuable items they might have.
After handling these mundane tasks, Dean returned to his room and released Old Eight to guard the room. He then entered the Land of Bone through the Gate of Bone.
Upon setting foot in the Land of Bone, Dean didn¡¯t immediately go to the Promotion Temple.
Instead, he first checked on Finch Olmedo¡¯s situation.
Within the span of a few days, that boy had already leveled up to Level 10 and even found the location of the treasure chest.
Judging by his posture, he should be able to defeat the boss guarding the chest and im the treasure within the next few days.
His growth was steady, and his attribute growth was downright terrifying.
He gained 45 attribute points at Level 10, adding 5 more every level.
Comparatively, Dean¡¯s previous gain of 0.5 attribute points per level was embarrassingly low.
Moreover, Finch acquired two new powerful skills at Level 10.
His attributes were too dazzling, it made Dean ufortable every time he nced over them.
¡°Anyway, if he happens to die, everything here will be mine!¡±
Deanforted himself in this way.
Of course, though that was said, Dean was still keeping a close eye on Finch. He instructed Old Nine to watch over him and ensure that nothing unexpected would happen.
After checking on Finch, Dean went to check on Old Six.
Over the past few days, Old Six had been researching the prison, and was supposedly close to a breakthrough. Dean would visit every day to check on the progress.
This time, before Dean could get close, he saw Old Six jumping around a building from afar.
Noting this, Dean¡¯s eyes lit up. He realized that Old Six might have seeded.
Sure enough, when Dean set his gaze on the building, he saw its properties clearly.
Name: Bone Prison
Level: Intermediate 3-star
Description: Old Six used the materials sourced from the Heretic Reformation facility as the primaryponents, and based the design on the prison of the Storm Barracks, thus creating his greatest achievement to date.
Effect 1: Imprisonment (Capable of imprisoning entities up to six-turn. The target¡¯s Mana and Skills will be sealed within, and bodily strength will be sealed by ny percent.)
Note: Maximum Imprisonment Limit: 0/100
Effect 2: Strength Absorption (Able to absorb the Mana, Spirit Power, and even Life Force of the imprisoned target to supply the operation of the prison.)
Note: When the target¡¯s supplied power is inadequate for the operation of the prison, new energy inputs will be needed.
Power can be sustained by the energy of the Land of Bone or by consuming gold coins.
This was a pure, purpose-built building for imprisonment.
The effects were minimal but practical. With it, Dean could imprison entities up to six-turn. If Dean encountered a suitable monster but was not ready to Enhance it, he could keep it here in the interim.
Dean was very satisfied with this.
With Old Six, he ventured inside to survey this prison and even personally experienced the effect of this great prison.
Only after the inspection did Dean finally arrive at the Promotion Temple.
After taking a deep breath, Dean stepped into the Promotion Temple with the necessary items.
[You have met the requirements for promotion. Do you wish tomence the Promotion Trial?]
[You have chosen tomence the Hell Mode Promotion Trial!]
[Your materials for the Promotion Trial areplete. Hell Mode Promotion Trial begins!]
[The Blessing of the Wraith God on you is activated. Your Promotion Mode has been elevated by one level.. You have started the Abyss Difficulty Promotion Trial!]
Chapter 225 - 160 Extraordinary Template boss, successfully changed profession!

Trantor: 549690339 |
[Warning, the Promotion Trial of Abyss difficulty will involve an adversary of the fifth-turn level. The difficulty is extremely high and failure may lead to potential life-threatening danger. Do you want to start the promotion?]
[Promotion Trial activated! ]
One after another, system notifications started to flood in as soon as Dean McKenzie entered the Promotion Temple.
As Dean nodded, the Promotion Trial officially began, and he was teleported
away amidst a grey light.
By the time the familiar feeling of weightlessness reached him, Dean had already appeared in the Land of Trials.
Just as Dean stepped into the Land of Trials, the system notification popped up before his eyes.
[You have entered the Land of Trials, your trial task: Dragon ying! ]
¡°What the hell is this?¡±
Staring at the notification, Dean was instantly taken aback.
Before Dean could react, a beastly roar echoed across the sky.
The roar, filled with the majesty capable of making one¡¯s spirit tremble, made
Dean feel as though a sharp de had been thrust into his brain and was being ruthlessly stirred around.
Dean instantly turned as pale as a sheet.
Fortunately, Dean had the trait of Mental Fortitude; otherwise, he would have
been finished right then and there.
But his current condition wasn¡¯t much better either.
Not only was he severely hit on the spirit, a huge meteorite engulfed in mes fell from the sky towards Dean.
¡°Boom!¡±
The ce where Dean stood was directly hit by the meteorite, and the mes spread hundreds of meters in an instant.
Fortunately, Dean had been wary and had always kept the Guardian Shield activated.
This attack, albeit protected by the Guardian Shield, hadn¡¯t seeded in taking
Dean¡¯s life.
At the same time he was hit, Dean saw the creature that had attacked him.
There was a ck dragon, about ten meters long, hovering about a kilometer above his head.
As Dean spotted the dragon, its attributes also appeared in front of his eyes.
Name: Underdeveloped ck Dragon Hatchling
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 120
Traits: Extraordinary Life (A) (For each level increase, 50 points are added to all attributes)
The effects of attributes have increased twentyfold (1 point of strength equals
20 points of attack, 1 point of physique equals 20 points of defense)
The damage from any attacks is reduced by seventy percent and it is immune to seventy percent of magic damage).
Intermediate
Attributes: ???
Skills:
Meteorite Skill (Fourth-turn)
Great Dragon Roar (Fifth-turn)
Ps: Certain attributes have not yet been appraised.
Even though Dean couldn¡¯t see the creature¡¯s detailed attributes, just from looking at this one attribute, Dean felt terrified of his opponent¡¯s power.
No need to calcte anything else, just this one trait ¨C adding 50 points to all attributes per level ¨C at the noth level meant 24,000 attribute points.
6,000 strength and 6,000 physique make for 120,000 attack and 120,000 defense points.
And that¡¯s without factoring in the dragon¡¯s own attributes.
Add to that, the trait of reducing damage sustained by seventy percent, and immunity to seventy percent of magic damage.
Jesus, if the dragon just stood there and let Dean hit it, Dean would still find it hard to kill.
More deadly is the fact that it can fly!
It¡¯s now flying thousands of meters above the ground, out of Dean¡¯s reach.
Dean is at a lower level than his opponent, and is even more suppressed in terms of mobility.
Dean can only be dragged along on the ground and repeatedly ground down.
Although Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield is extraordinarily powerful, and the ck Dragon¡¯s damage couldn¡¯t break Dean¡¯s defense, sowhat?
Dean could only endure being beaten!
Apart from his Bone Fang skill, none of his long-range attacks could reach the dragon.
And Dean¡¯s Bone Fang damage is reduced by ny percent due to the dragon s intermediate level, and the remaining ten percent is further reduced by seventy percent when it hits the dragon.
A score of too in attack would only result in 3 points of actual damage on the dragon.
What¡¯s the difference between that and tickling the dragon?
As for Old Nine?
Dean did summon it for a test once.
Its effect was extraordinary; a single arrow hit the dragon, but it was taken down by the ck Dragon¡¯s roar and never came back to life. Dean didn t dare to summon Old Nine again.
So, Dean could only bear the dragon¡¯s damage while continually applying his Appraisal Skill to the creature, hoping to discover its weakness.
An enhanced Appraisal Skill has a rare trait called Insight, with a thirty percent probability of detecting the target¡¯s weaknesses.
If Dean attacked based on the detected weaknesses, he could ignore defensive abilities like Equipment, Talent, Traits, etc., and cause two hundred percent damage.
This was the only method Dean had so far that could possibly cause damage to the ck Dragon.
So, again and again, Dean used Appraisal Skill on the dragon, trying to discover its weakness.
At first, Dean believed that with a thirty percent chance of sess, the Appraisal Skill should theoretically have been easy to apply.
But when he started applying it, Dean discovered that the touted thirty percent probability was absolutely bulls***.
The sess chance was influenced by the dragon¡¯s attributes and traits.
After all, the Insight trait only had a rarity level of ¡°rare¡±. When used to inspect a being with an ¡°extraordinary¡± temte, the sess rate would undoubtedly be frustratingly low.
Dean tested it out and found that the written thirty percent sess rate was, in fact, less than three percent!
Even when he managed to get it sessfully once, the detected weakness disappeared in an instant, making it impossible for Dean to attack it in time!
Under these circumstances, Dean couldn¡¯t defeat the dragon at all.
What made it even worse was that after several attacks, the dragon found that magic didn¡¯t work on Dean, but mental attacks were quite effective.
So, it kept using the Great Dragon Roar.
Several roars made Dean dizzy and disoriented.
Dean was acutely aware that if he continued like this, the only one who would lose was him.

An unexpected slip could lead to aplete waste of a life.
That¡¯s why after gritting his teeth, Dean McKenzie abandoned a promotion quest for the first time.
¡°I still have an Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher, so I have another chance. I¡¯ll drop out this time!¡±
Dean McKenzie clenched his teeth and gave up the trial.
As he exited the Land of Trials, his brain was nearly split in two from the ordeal.
It took him a full day to recuperate.
Even though he had recovered, the thought of the ck Dragon was still enough to give him a headache.
The thing was just too powerful, impossible to defeat!
¡°First of all, I can¡¯t prate its defense, secondly, the moment I used the Appraisal Skill to discover its weaknesses, it reacted immediately and took flight hundreds of meters into the air.
Mobility is also a massive issue.
Cannot hit, cannot hurt, all I can do is get hit.
Plus, its Great Dragon Roar mental attack is lethal, I can only endure 4 of those, any more and I¡¯m finished!
Aw, hell, there¡¯s just no way to defeat it!¡±
The more Dean McKenzie deliberated, the more disheartened he became, feeling like there was absolutely no chance of winning.
¡°Maybe I should just give up and try Hell Mode instead. There should be a higher chance of sess. I¡¯ll do the fourth-turn promotion first?¡±
While saying this, Dean McKenzie became more frustrated the more he thought about it.
¡°Damn it, it¡¯s just one little ck Dragon, isn¡¯t it?
I refuse to believe I can¡¯t handle it!
I still have 6 grant quotas, so the piercing effect didn¡¯t work? So what?
I¡¯ll strengthen my Appraisal Skill from level 2.
Their mental attacks are causing me trouble, right?
I¡¯ll learn some new skills and improve my mental defense.
In any case, I¡¯m going to take down this dragon!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie swept all the recently acquired skill books off the shelf.
He looked for skill books rted to mental defense.
After ages of searching, Dean McKenzie found a skill book that met his requirements: ¡°Heart of Savagery¡±!
Skill Book: Heart of Savagery
Description: Warrior Barbarian (Third-turn)
Skill ssification: Passive Skill
Level 1 Effect: For every point increased in Strength or Physique, 1 point of
Mental Resistance is increased
Dean McKenzie was sure that he needed to use his Dragon n Talent to learn this ability, and after learning it, the effectiveness would be 30% of the original.
After Dean acquired it, his attributes became:
Skill: Heart of Savagery (Third-turn)
Level: 1-Level (0/10000)
Effect: Each point of Strength or Physique increases 0.3 points of Mental Resistance
Current increase in Mental Resistance: 4165.2
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill effectiveness is only 30% of the original, the fact that his Strength and Physique are so high cannot be overlooked. Both attributes together add up to more than ten thousand, instantly increasing the resistance to nearly 4200.
In addition, after Dean McKenzie dons the Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat, the Mental Fortitude skill increases his mental defense by 100%, bringing his total mental defense to 16712.6.
This is an increase of one third of his previous mental resistance.
At this point, resisting the mental attack of a ck Dragon¡¯s roar should be much easier.
But Dean McKenzie felt that it wasn¡¯t enough. Since he had learned this skill, he wanted aplete solution.
Dean McKenzie directly spent over 40,000 gold coins and three granting quotas to enhance this skill.
¡°You spent 40,000 gold coins to assign 1 million attribute points to the Heart of Savagery in the direction of ¡®Mental Resistance¡¯!¡±
¡°Your skill, Heart of Savagery, has been sessfully enhanced!¡±
Skill: Heart of Savagery (Third-Turn) (Once Enhanced)
Level: 1-Level (0/10 million)
Effect: Every 1 point of Strength or Physique increases 0.3 plus 1 million points of Mental Resistance
Current increase in Mental Resistance: 1004165.2
This skill became the only skill Dean McKenzie had that did not have an enhancement trait!
But even though it didn¡¯t have an enhancement trait, this skill was not to be trifled with.
After spending 40,000 gold coins, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mental resistance skyrocketed to over a million.
With over a million points of mental resistance, plus Dean McKenzie¡¯s Mental Fortitude, his weakness in mental defense was essentially remedied. Mental attacks from opponents below six-turn or even seven-turn are unlikely to cause him any harm.
The roar of the ck Dragon can now only bepared to a gentle breeze in Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
Having resolved his mental problems, Dean McKenzie then started to tackle his attack issues.
Dean McKenzie nned to further enhance the Appraisal Skill.
To enhance this skill, Dean spent a whole day sacrificing all the hard-won elite temte skeletons for the ritual.
¡°You spent 40,000 gold coins, assigned 1 million attribute points to the Appraisal Skill in the direction of ¡®Weakness Insight''¡±
¡°You spent 800 gold coins, your Appraisal Skill¡¯s ¡®Insight¡¯ absorbed 4000 high-quality essences!¡±
¡°Your skill, Appraisal Skill, has been sessfully enhanced!¡±
Skill: Appraisal Skill (Twice Enhanced)
Level: 7-Level (356211/3 million)
Incantation: Existence leaves traces, truth cannot be concealed
Mana Consumption: 15,000 Points
Effect: After activation, 100% chance to view the attributes of targets not exceeding 2-turn of own rank, and never exceeding 3 levels of own quality, pierce all weaknesses below 1 million defense!
Insight (Perfect) (3-Level) (80% chance to identify the weakness information of the target in the range of skill appraisal.
ps: attacking a weakness allows you to ignore the target¡¯s skills, equipment, talents, traits and other defenses, causing 500% damage)
For two skills, Dean McKenzie spent over 80,000 gold coins, adding to the previous 140,000 gold coins, as well as his recent expenses, Dean McKenzie¡¯s pocket was almost empty..

The remaining money was needed toplete the transaction with the Giant Serpent Tribe.
That said, if Dean McKenzie can¡¯t get that one ck Dragon, he won¡¯t have twenty thousand gold coins to splurge anymore.
Thus, after strengthening the two skills, Dean McKenzie took the spirit of ¡°seed or die trying¡±, once again went into the Promotion Temple, and began his second job promotion.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness came, and Dean McKenzie again arrived at the Land of Trials.
¡°Roar!¡±
As soon as he arrived, a growl from a ck dragon cub was flung onto Dean McKenzie¡¯s face, expressing a warm wee to him.
This time, the roar could be described as a gentle breeze and drizzle towards Dean McKenzie who had a mental resistance as high as a million.
After confirming that the opponent¡¯s mental attack was utterly ineffective against him, Dean McKenzie happily dered, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll oust you until the heavens and earth are worn out, persisting until you die or I perish!¡±
Talking, Dean McKenzie raised his hand to cast an Appraisal Skill.
The previously purchased Heart of Savagery that cost forty thousand gold coins paid off. Moreover, this Appraisal Skill that also cost Dean McKenzie forty thousand gold coins didn¡¯t disappoint him either.
Right then and there, Dean McKenzie saw the opponent¡¯s weakness.
Moreover, this time the weakness was constant.
Dean McKenzie directly sent a Bone Fang attack, but it missed!
The young ck Dragon was incredibly alert. When Dean McKenzie attacked, it sensed the danger and evasively dodged.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t discouraged.
If one attack didn¡¯t work, he¡¯d attack again. If that didn¡¯t work, he¡¯d keep going.
Bone Fang is free to throw a punch!
If you guard for long, you must lose. Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t believe that he couldn¡¯t hit the opponent even once.
But soon, Dean McKenzie had no choice but to believe it.
The baby dragon¡¯s speed was so fast that it was unbelievable, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t even hit it no matter how he shot.
¡°This won¡¯t work, I need to figure out a way!¡±
Dean McKenzie narrowed his eyes, summoned Doggy Two, had it seize him with all its might, and tens of thousands of strength exploded. He swiftly hoisted Dean McKenzie like a cannonball towards the sky where the young ck dragon was.
This tactic was so whimsical that even the baby ck dragon was agape.
What kind of tactic is this?
A tactic of force-feeding?
The ck dragon cub hadn¡¯t reacted for a moment. By the time it did, Dean McKenzie had already been thrown to its side.
Throughout the process, Dean McKenzie kept his grip on the Holy Light Cross.
Once the distance was enough, Dean McKenzie immediately activated the Holy Light Cross while the baby ck dragon was still dazed!
[You have sessfully used the ¡®Holy Light Cross¡¯, the opponent is controlled for 10 minutes!]
The system prompt refreshed. A huge Holy Light Cross appeared behind the baby ck dragon. Instantly, the baby ck dragon was bound in the shape of a cross.
At the same time, its body also fell from the kilometer-high sky and crashed to the ground.
Dean McKenzie also fell down the same way.
However, with the Guardian Shield, falling from a kilometer high in the sky didn¡¯t kill Dean McKenzie.
Afternding, the first thing that Dean McKenzie did was summon all his skeletons out.
Hundreds of skeletons formed a huge encircling circle.
Dean McKenzie patiently waited for the encirclement to form, then he jumped on the head of the baby ck dragon, activated the Appraisal Skill, and the information of the weak point on the baby ck dragon¡¯s head was revealed.
Dean McKenzie, holding the Bone Fang, directly attacked, striking the Bone Fang at the weak point that appeared.
This was basically dealing damage face to face.
Dean McKenzie originally thought it wouldn¡¯t be difficult, but he did not expect it to still not be that easy.
As soon as Dean McKenzie¡¯s attack went by, the weak point information disappeared. The Bone Fang didn¡¯t even hurt a hair when itnded on the opponent.
Dean McKenzie tried several times before he finally got the hang of it and sessfully hit the Bone Fang into the weak point.
¡°Puff!¡±
The Bone Fang, which could not break the ck dragon¡¯s defense, disabled the ck dragon cub¡¯s defense and traits instantly when it hit after finding out the weak point information.
The damage dealt by Bone Fang was squarely, no, it was increased five times on the body of the ck Dragon cub.
With one strike, it directly pierced through half of the little ck Dragon¡¯s head, blinding one of its eyes!
As Dean McKenziended this blow, the cross on the body of the ck Dragon cub shattered thunderously.
Although the Holy Light Cross could control the opponent for 10 minutes, if the opponent receives a fatal attack, the restraints would disappear instantly.
This was also why Dean McKenzie wanted to encircle it first.
With the disappearance of the Holy Light Cross, the ck Dragon instantly regained its freedom.
The heavy blow to its head enraged the ck Dragon cub, it opened its mouth to roar, but Doggy Two¡¯s Bone King interrupted it.
At the same time, Old Eight appeared at the wound on its head and stabbed it with a dagger.
Immediately followed by Old Seven¡¯s Fearless Charge, which also struck the wound.
Two sessive heavy attacks almost shattered the cub¡¯s head.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeletons were not idle either. They swiftly surrounded the scene attempting to suppress the ck Dragon cub. Monkey Two took the lead, setting off a Bone Eruption, leaping forth brandishing its Dragon Bone Sword, delivering a Heavy Destruction!
¡°Splurt!¡±
The ck Dragon cub took the hit, and its head was promptly cleaved open.
Blood sshed everywhere, the sight was dreadfully gruesome!
Yet despite this, the ck Dragon cub was still not dead.
The vitality of a boss with an Extraordinary Temte was terrifying beyond belief.
It was still stubbornly alive, and it could even explode with power.
Its wings unfurled and an aura of terror burst forth.
Surprisingly, it blew away the surrounding skeletons with a breath, and then with a p of its wings, it rose into the sky.
As the ck Dragon cub took off, Old Nine, who had been storing energy for quite some time, released their recently acquired fourth-level skill ¡®Death Arrow¡¯.
Skill: Death Arrow (Fourth-turn)
Level: 1
Consumption: 100,000 Spirit Power
Effect: Inflicts an attack equal to strength plus agility plus attack power, multiplied by 25.
There is a 1% chance to trigger the ¡®immediate death¡¯ effect (fine quality).
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) used the ¡®Death Arrow¡¯ and triggered the ¡®Lucky Crossbow¡¯ trait, obtained a lox attack multiplier!]
Old Nine had excellent luck. The damage of this blow was ten million, but it didn¡¯t hit the wound of the ck Dragon cub. As a result, it could not ignore the defense, but it still managed to deal several million damage. It also sessfully pierced the body of the ck Dragon cub.
But it still couldn¡¯t stop the ck Dragon cub from taking off!
However, just when the ck Dragon cub sessfully ascended and was ready to counterattack, a voice rang out from behind.
From its back, came Dean McKenzie¡¯s voice.
¡°Appraisal Skill, Bone Spear!¡±
With the two magic names ringing out, Dean McKenzie put his hand on a weak spot information that had just appeared on the body of the ck Dragon cub and began to shoot out Bone Spears relentlessly.
This time, Dean McKenzie drained all his mana,unching dozens of Bone Spears.
The ninth-level Bone Spear dealt damage equal to Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power multiplied by 9, plus 30,000. The damage wasn¡¯t high, only about a hundred thousand, but it ignored the enemy¡¯s defense and dealt five times the normal damage.
Furthermore, the ce where Dean McKenzie stood was carefully chosen by him. The Bone Spear went straight for the ck Dragon¡¯s heart.
Dozens of Bone Spears piercing the heart, instantly prating the ck Dragon cub¡¯s heart!
With these dozens of Bone Spears, the headache-inducing ck Dragon cub finally raised the white g!
[You have sessfully killed the ¡®Underdeveloped ck Dragon Cub¡¯ andpleted the trial task!]
Apanied by this system update, the ck Dragon cub exploded, bursting with several dazzling points of light.
At the same time, a strong light of death engulfed Dean McKenzie!
Chapter 228 - 161 Fourth-turn — Wraith Controller
161 Fourth-turn ¡ª Wraith Controller

In the Land of Trials, a grey glow enveloped Dean McKenzie for a full six hours before it dissipated.
As the grey light that shrouded Dean receded, the system alerts began to refresh in front of him!

Dean couldn¡¯t believe the attributes. He felt they were slightly incredible.
Deanpared his attributes to those of Doggy Two, who was now at the fifth-turn and level 120, and felt that his attributes were quite inhuman!
Name: Underfed Bone Dragon Skeleton Big Lord (Doggy Two)
Level: 120
Temte: Perfect
Lord Traits: King of Bones (B-grade)
Dragon Bone Body (B) (A trait nurtured from the bones of a strong member of the Dragon n, each upgrade increases all attributes by 5 points.

Master: Dean McKenzie
Attributes: Basic
Strength: 87885, Agility: 26972.5, Physique: 16272.5, Spirit: 16272.5
Attack: 878850
Defense: 162,725
Spirit Power: 1 million
These were Doggy Two¡¯s basic attributes after reaching level 120. Apart from Attack, Defense and Strength, its other stats simply couldn¡¯tpare to Dean¡¯s, even with a 39-level gap.
One could say, the fourth-turn hadpletely transformed Dean.
Dean now felt that not just the fifth-turn, even the sixth-turn would tremble in front of him.
Moreover, Dean¡¯s growth boosted every aspect of him, he had not only enhanced himself but also significantly improved the strength of his skeletons. With his skeletons, even the seven-turn existences, well, okay, Dean didn¡¯t feel that bold yet.
¡°ording to the rule of three turns per grade, one to three turns are lower grade, four to six turns are intermediate grade, and seven turns should belong to the higher grade.
This type of grade power must have a breakthrough, and the main attribute might directly rise to the millions. At present, it¡¯s best to steer clear of them.
But give me some time, when I reach the fifth-turn, even the sixth-turn, I reckon I could arm wrestle the seven-turns.
Wait, why do I always have to arm wrestle with stronger people?
Challenging those of higher grades sounds exciting, but wouldn¡¯t it be wonderful to overpower enemies of equal grade?
Yes, I Only tangled with those stronger than me before because I had no choice. Now that I¡¯ve separated from the Alliance, it¡¯s time to lie low for a while and wait till I be invincible, and then I can go and bully the kids!
Dean Mackenzie imagined a scene where he, at level WOO, bullied a level wo kid. The feeling was inexplicably satisfying, and his mood was pretty ecstatic.
Just when he was feeling satisfied, the Promotion Temple threw him out.
Lucky for him, Dean had been expecting this. While he was feeling satisfied, Old Eight had skillfully picked up the light dot dropped by the ck Dragon whelp, and Old Two had taken the corpse of the ck Dragon whelp back to the Land of Bone.
In addition, Old Six had alsoe out to take a stroll in the Land of Trials while Dean was promoting.
Out of disappointment for not finding any buildings, he located the nest of the ck Dragon whelp.
Riding on the sentiment of not wanting toe back empty-handed, he even dismantled the nest and brought it back to the Land of Bone.
When Dean was expelled from the Land of Bone, Old Six was already busy at the Bone Tomb with the materials from the ck Dragon whelp¡¯s nest.
Doggy Two wasn¡¯t idle either, once it got back to the Land of Bone, it started to munch on the corpse of the ck Dragon whelp.
To be precise, it was gnawing on the ck Dragon whelp¡¯s bones.
Obviously, giant dragons also belonged to the Dragon n, and Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Body trait could take effect.
No doubt, its power would surge once it finished gnawing on the ck Dragon whelp¡¯s skeleton.
Old Eight seemed to know this too..
Chapter 229 - 161 Fourth-turn — Wraith Controller_2
161 Fourth-turn ¡ª Wraith Controller_2
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing his adversary continuously growing stronger, Old Eight felt extremely anxious in his heart.
Therefore, clutching the light spots released from the ck Dragon cub, he attempted to bribe and flirt with Dean McKenzie in various ways, hinting both overtly and undercover that he ¨C Old Eight, also wanted to be stronger.
¡°I know you¡¯re anxious, but hold on, your turn wille!
I will definitely conceive a way for youter, to strengthen your power so that you can confront Doggy Two fearlessly!¡±
Dean McKenzie tapped Old Eight, casually stuffing a bun into his mouth that led to him feeling woozy. He then took the light spots from Old Eight and opened them all.
[You have opened 5 Light Spots, you obtained 50 Purple Gold Coins!]
[You have received item [ck Dragon¡¯s Heart]]
[You have received 2 High-Quality Talent Stones!]
[You have received Instance Monument ¨C Valley of the Dragons!]
The items from the five light spots were nothing short of extraordinary.
One Purple Gold Coin is equivalent to 1000 Gold Coins. With these 50 coins, Dean McKenzie now holds a total of 150, or in other words, one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.
There¡¯s no need to borate on the High-Quality Talent Stones, Dean McKenzie uses them to enhance his talents.
The other two items he received were even more noteworthy!
Item: ck Dragon¡¯s Heart
Description: A heart imbued with the power of the ck Dragon¡¯s bloodline. Devouring it can permanently enhance your own attributes or elevate the traits of your dragon-rted skills.
Instance Monument: Valley of the Dragons
Challenge Level: Level 21 to Level 80
Instance Type: Exploration Challenge
ps: It allows 100 people to challenge once every month.
pss: Each person can challenge once a month.
Dean McKenzie briefly scanned the properties of these two items.
The challenge level of the Instance Monument perfectly excludes McKenzie, but this was not for naught. He could toss it towards the Gathering ce for Finch Olmedo and the others to challenge.
Whatever good itemse out, McKenzie would collect!
He has no shame in harvesting other people¡¯s spoils of war.
After all, he is the one who nurtures them.
Dean McKenzie provides them with food, clothing, and career opportunities. In a way, he is their boss, and it¡¯s only fair that they work for him.
As for the ck Dragon¡¯s Heart?
Dean McKenzie ate it on the spot!
When he saw this object, he had a feeling that it was destined for him.
And reality indeed proved this to be true.
As soon as he consumed the heart, he immediately felt his own heart throbbing violently. His blood seemed to boil, and every inch of his skin itched unbearably where the scorching blood flowed through. After a while, his body returned to normal, apanied by the system prompt refreshing.
[You have devoured the [ck Dragon¡¯s Heart], your trait [Dragon n Talent] has been upgraded to (B-grade)!]
Trait: Dragon n Talent (B-grade): You have gained the Dragon n Talent, hereafter when you enhance your Spirit by 1 point you will acquire 5 points of Magic Injury and 50 points of Mana.
Your proficiency in acquiring skills has increased by five hundred percent.
Every time you level up, you can learn a skill ignoring the professional requirements, but the effectiveness of the learned skill will be reduced to 50% of the original.
As soon as this trait upgrades, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Magic Strength and Mana immediately transform.
Magic Strength: 1045620
Mana: 5228100
His basic Magic Strength has crossed a million.
An ordinary attack packed such a punch that it already reached the limit at his current level!
It can be said that solely with this Magic Strength, Dean McKenzie can wipe out any Fourth-turn existence.
Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie justpleted his quality upgrade, the system prompts on Doggy Two¡¯s end started refreshing.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) has sessfully devoured the carcass of the [Underdeveloped ck Dragon Cub], Trait [Dragon Bone Body] has enhanced!]
Dragon Bone Body (B) (A trait cultivated by absorbing the powerful remains of the Dragon n. Each level up will increase all attributes by 20 points.
Attribute effects increase 10 times (1 point of Strength equals 10 points of Attack, 1 point of Physique equals 10 points of Defense)
Damage received reduced by fifty-five percent, fifty-five percent immune to magic damage.
It is capable of absorbing the Dragon¡¯s Bones to enhance this trait.)
Although Doggy Two¡¯s trait has not been upgraded to A-grade, it still gained significant enhancement, enabling Doggy Two¡¯s four-dimensional attributes to increase by 1800. His attack has even reached 1.3 million directly.
Looking at the drastic enhancement in strength, Old Eight couldn¡¯t help but shrink his skeleton, integrating himself into the shadows as much as possible.
Unprovokable, simply unprovokable!
Old Eight was trembling with fear, feeling that his days were getting worse. He looked forward to when his master would enhance him as promised and let his strength skyrocket.
On the other hand, Dean McKenzie waspletely immersed in delight, both from advancing to the fourth turn himself and from the enhancement of Doggy Two¡¯s traits.
¡°With my current strength, taking down Raymond should not be an issue, right?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s personality is just like this.
He is magnanimous and not prone to holding grudges. As soon as he gains power, he wants to settle disputes.
¡°Still, it¡¯s better to hold off. Firstly, that guy¡¯s strength and resources are extraordinary. A single piece of equipment left me helpless, who knows how many more pieces of equipment he has.
Although my strength has skyrocketed due to the fourth turn, my current strength is far from my limit.
I can be even stronger, wait for me to be stronger and get some preparations done before dealing with him.
Also, the date for trade with the Giant Serpent Tribe is approaching!¡±
Dean McKenzie is eagerly looking forward to the trade with the Giant Serpent Tribe.
They have had contact with Dean McKenzie before and have already negotiated with him preliminarily. Although they have not signed any agreement, they have explored each other¡¯s boundaries..
Chapter 230 - 161 Fourth-turn — Wraith Controller—3
161 Fourth-turn ¡ª Wraith Controller¡ª3
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie estimated that the trade up next would be the biggest he¡¯s had with the Giant Serpent Tribe so far.
This was something that mattered a great deal to Dean McKenzie!
Soon after, following his promotion, Dean McKenzie returned to the Land of
Bone to test his new powers with Doggy Two and the others.
Once he had gotten the hang of his new abilities, he realized that after his fourth-turn, his magic strength was added to all of his skills.
This meant that Dean McKenzie could easily cause three or four million damage by casually shooting a Bone Spear, now strengthened with increased Magic Strength and amplified by the effects of [Bone Control].
Moreover, all of Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill levels saw a significant rise due to the legacy he received from Crohn, which caused his battle strength to skyrocket.
In addition to forgetting to let Old Four remove the Guardian Shield, Dean McKenzie and Old Four ended up easily defeating everyone else together.
After the battle, Dean McKenzie felt a bit light-headed. He had Old Four remove the Guardian Shield and asked Doggy Two and his gang to battle once more.
However, as soon as Old Four unlocked the Guardian Shield, Dean McKenzie was hit in the back of the head by Old Eight.
Old Eight had a thrill in his Pupil Fire eyes as he struck. It was clear he had identally discovered something new and exciting.
His blow caused Dean McKenzie to kneel in defeat.
Dean McKenzie was not ready to ept defeat. He came at them again, first activating [Bone Armor].
His Bone Armor had been upgraded to level 3 and could provide nearly ten million Defense points, a minimum of two and a half million points guaranteed.
Once the armor was activated, Dean Dean McKenzie imed invincibility.
Then, Old Nine shot a Bone Arrow, shaking his Bone Armor, and Old Seven lunged at him with a Fearless Charge. His spear pierced Dean McKenzie¡¯s lung.
Even though Dean McKenzie managed to take Old Seven down with Bone Resistance, he still lost the confrontation within two rounds.
A disgruntled Dean McKenzie repeatedly fought a few more matches against his skeletons afterward.
Dean McKenzie was formidable in a one-on-one duel, but he began losing his edge when he had to fight off two opponents at the same time. When pitted against three skeletons, Dean McKenzie was evidently overpowered.
And all this while Dean McKenzie was the first to activate his shield.
If Old Eight¡¯s first attack was allowed, he would be able to take Dean McKenzie out right away.
If Old Four was also allowed to make a move, his Guardian Shield would send
Dean McKenzie into a spin.
As the battle progressed, Dean McKenzie felt more and more stifled and frustrated.
In the end, he resorted to pulling out his fourth-turn [Flight Skill] and learned it as his third non-Necromancer ss skill.
Skill: Flight (Fourth-turn)
Level: 1
Consumption: 1000 per second
Effect: Allows the user to fly up to 500 meters high and move at 50% of their spiritual power speed in the air.
This was the base attribute of the Flight Skill.
Dean McKenzie flew high into the sky, moving at a speed that matched his 50,000 Agility points, and turned himself into a humanoid fighter jet.
Then, Doggy Two and the others watched in awe. Only Old Nine and Old Six could barely reach him, but Dean McKenzie suppressed them effortlessly. Unleashing a barrage of firepower from the air, Dean McKenzie scattered his skeleton soldiers, leaving them in disarray. After taking out his frustration, Dean McKenzie returned from the sky and ended this round ofbat testing.
Overall, Dean McKenzie was satisfied.
He was strong, and so were the skeletons under hismand.
Just thebination of Doggy Two and Old Four could probably give a six-turn a run for their money.
Of course, that was just Dean McKenzie¡¯s spection. The real oue would only be revealed in a real battle.
¡°We¡¯ll have to try it out when we get a chance!¡±
Then, filled with satisfaction, Dean McKenzie left the Land of Bone.
After sessfullypleting the Promotion Trial and advancing to fourth-turn, there were no significant changes in Dean McKenzie¡¯s routine in the Giant Serpent Tribe.
After all, Dean McKenzie had Mrs. Hawkin¡¯s ck Crystal Ball in his possession.
To others, his attribute points appeared to remain the same. No one knew that Dean McKenzie had undergone his promotion right under their noses within the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Time passed by quickly. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, it was the third day since Dean McKenzie¡¯s sessful promotion.
On this day, the Giant Serpent Tribe finally had everything ready.
A short old man from the Giant Serpent Tribe respectfully presented Dean McKenzie with the goods list.
[30,000 various elite temtes, 5 Silver Coins each, 1500 Gold Coins
400 Skeleton Knight (Excellent), 10 Gold Coins each, 4000 Gold Coins 2000 Skeleton Warrior Temtes (Excellent), 4 Gold Coins each, 8000 Gold
Coins
600 Skeleton Archer Temtes (Excellent), 5 Gold Coins each, 3000 Gold
Coins
350 Skeleton Mage Temtes (Excellent), 10 Gold Coins each, 3500 Gold Coins 200 Bone Shield Skeleton Warrior (Excellent), 10 Gold Coins each, 2000 Gold
Coins
150 Skeleton Assassin (Excellent), 20 Gold Coins each, 3000 Gold Coins
300 Skeleton Giant Temtes (Excellent), 50 Gold Coins each, 15,000 Gold
Coins
33 Rare Fragile Dragon Temtes, 1000 Gold Coins each, 33,000 Gold Coins A Perfect Level Super Ancient y Stone Demon Core, 10,000 Gold Coins
Total: 82,000 Gold Coins!]
As soon as Dean McKenzie held the list in his hands, they couldn¡¯t help but tremble slightly.
He had expected the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s trade to surprise but, he hadn¡¯t anticipated the extent of it.
All of their offerings were of Excellent grade or higher, and the quantities wildly exceeded Dean McKenzie¡¯s expectations.
Of course, the prices also surpassed what Dean McKenzie had anticipated. But even though the prices were high, Dean McKenzie had no intention of haggling. Instead, he was curious how the Giant Serpent Tribe had gotten their hands on so many temtes.
To his query, the short old man exined, ¡°There are several Wraith Caverns in the South Barbarian Mountain Range. The surrounding tribes have been grinding there for hundreds of years. This is their stockpile from those years. Our leader personally negotiated and purchased the stock from those tribes..¡±
Chapter 231 - 161 Fourth-turn — Wraith Controller_4
161 Fourth-turn ¡ª Wraith Controller_4
Trantor: 549690339
When he heard this exnation, Dean McKenzie felt a bit disappointed.
If these were goods stored over hundreds of years, that would mean he basically could have a one-off deal now. His hopes of having a stable, long term channel to obtain temtes of Excellent grade or above had been dashed.
However, after a second thought, McKenzie realized it was still something good to be able to have just a single deal.
Even if the old man did have more goods, wouldn¡¯t he be out of money for trading?
¡°I am out of gold coins now!¡±
Dean McKenzie blurted out, looking at the bill.
The dwarf old man narrowed his eyes: ¡°I can only lower the price to 70,000 gold coins for you!¡±
¡°Uh!¡±
McKenzie was about to say that was not what he meant.
The old man clenched his teeth bitterly: ¡°Fifty thousand, I can lower it to fifty thousand at best, no less!¡±
¡°No, you got me wrong. I meant, I am out of gold coins, can I pay by purple gold coins?
But since you mentioned this, let¡¯s settle for fifty thousand then!¡±
As he said, McKenzie took out 50 purple gold coins.
Looking at the purple gold light gleaming from the coins, the old man¡¯s face turned ck. He wished he could p himself.
In three sentences, the tribe lost a potential gain of thirty-two thousand.
However, looking at the 50 purple gold coins Dean McKenzie handed out, the old man felt hopeful again.
With a seemingly troubled face, he epted 50 purple gold coins from McKenzie.
Profit!
Although the purple gold coins were introduced to be 1:1000 in value to gold coins, this was the system ratio. In the market, the price of purple gold coins could be even crazy.
1:2000 was inessible even if one were willing to pay.
The old man thought he could only earn 45,000 from this deal. But to his surprise, he ended making 95,000.
The tiny old man was tickled by the turn of events. He contemted all the saddest moments in his life to prevent himself from bursting intoughter.
In the end, the old man cursed and grumbled as he took the 50 purple gold coins and left.
The Old Man¡¯s acting skills were superb, making Dean McKenzie think he had a bargain, until an hourter when the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s leader personally delivered 25 purple gold coins back to McKenzie. Then he realized how impressive the old man¡¯s acting skills were.
However, more astonishing than the old man¡¯s acting skills and the real price of the purple gold coin was the remarkable attitude of the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s leader.
The fact that he could deliver the purple gold coins back to McKenzie was surprising to him.
At least, Dean McKenzie considered in his heart, if it was him who got such a bargain, he would never so easily return the money.
In the face of Dean¡¯s astonished gaze, the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe said, ¡°The most important thing in doing business is integrity. We rightfully earn our money, not a penny less or more!¡±
Finishing his sentence under the admiring gaze of Dean McKenzie, the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s leader continued, ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s clear to us whether it¡¯s better to have a good meal each time or a full meal every time.
Mr. McKenzie, you were throwing money around in our tribe, presumably to attract powerful distributors to work for you, right?
I wonder if our Giant Serpent Tribe has the honor to serve you?¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Dean McKenzie squints his eyes ¡°Can you get simr goods as today¡¯s?¡±
¡°Most of the temtes in the South Babarian have basically been swept away by us. There will hardly be suchrge-scale trades in the South Barbarian in a short time.
However, our Giant Serpent Tribe has been doing business for some time now, and we¡¯ve umted a certain amount of connections. We¡¯re confident that we can serve you well!¡±
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe humbly put himself lower, not at all like a tribal leader, but more like a humble salesman trying hard to secure a deal for hispany.
His attitude did indeed touch Dean McKenzie.
¡°If you are so confident, then let¡¯s work together!¡±
As Dean said that, he snapped his fingers.
The next second, Earl appeared out of thin air in the room, handing a storage ring to the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The sudden appearance of Earl made the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s pupils contract.
Although he had guessed that Dean McKenzie was very strong, he didn¡¯t imagine him to be this terrifying.
Not to mention anything else, the mere sight of the skeleton assassin gave the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe a great shock.
He could naturally see Earl¡¯s fifth-turn strength.
But what was most shocking was not the Fifth-turn strength of the Eighth Elder, but his extremely terrifying invisibility ability.
If the Eighth Elder had not revealed himself in front of him, he would not have known of such a terrifying presence lurking at his side.
In other words, if the other party wished to, they could easily take his life.
How could he not be startled?
However, the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe also showed delight on his face after the shock.
He knew that the moment the Eighth Elder appeared, the situation was essentially a done deal.
Otherwise, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t have let the Eighth Elder show himself.
This assassin¡¯s appearance was to intimidate him,ying the groundwork for their uing coboration.
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe was now even more eager to see what was inside the ring.
As he took it and looked, he realized that most of the things stored inside were level 3 pure spring water!
Name: Pure SpringWater
Level: Level 3
Description: Upon consumption, it can slowly heal injuries and recover mana.
(Effective healing can be achieved for those with a physique of 125 or less, drinking 100 milliliters of spring water can recover 1000 points of mana or 500 spirit power per minute,
itsts for 5 minutes)
Frankly speaking, the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe was disappointed when he first saw this stuff.
After all, level 3 Pure Spring Water isn¡¯t exactly a valuable resource, with a market price of around 1 to 2 silver coins per milliliter.
But when he saw the amount of Pure Spring Water, he waspletely taken aback!
Inside the ring, there were at least 3 million milliliters!
In addition to the Pure Spring Water, there were also arge number of medicinal potions.
Due to the fact that Dean McKenziemanded skeletons and had the meditation ability, medicinal potions were practically useless to him.
So, he kindly bundled all of it and handed it over to the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe roughly estimated the value of this pure spring water and medicine, involuntarily gasping at the total.
¡°Mr. Lee, the market price for level 3 Pure Spring Water is around 1 to 2 silver coins per milliliter, the value of the Pure Spring Water you have here equates to about thirty to fifty thousand gold coins!
Add in these potions of yours, and the total value should be around eighty to a hundred thousand.¡±
¡°Hmm!¡±
Upon hearing this estimate, Dean McKenzie nodded in satisfaction.
The valuation of the Pure Spring Water satisfied him.
At 1 to 2 silver coins per milliliter, with a production of 50,000 milliliters per day from his territory, that would mean an ie of 500 to 1,000 gold coins per day.
Of course, Dean McKenzie understood that if arge amount of any particr product were to flood the market in a short amount of time, it was certain to depreciate in value.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t care about potential depreciation as he himself didn¡¯t deal with these things.
The issues of how to deal with these items were left to the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe once Dean handed them over.
The leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe also understood this, and looking at these items, he proposed two schemes to Dean: ¡°Mr. Lee, I have two options for dealing with these items. One is for us to handle this stuff, and the Giant Serpent Tribe will charge a ten percent handling fee.
The other option is for you to price them at ny thousand gold coins, which will be handled by us, what do you think?? ¡±
¡°The first one, you deal with these things.
The money you get, use it to buy things for me, you should know what I want!¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
¡°Alright, let¡¯s proceed this way then!¡±
In just a few words, Dean McKenzie struck a hundred thousand gold coin deal with the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
They became official partners.
After finalizing this deal, just when the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something: ¡°Oh, Mr. Lee, do you remember the human named Boris Holt who traded with you some time ago?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡±
Chapter 232 - 162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)
162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)
Trantor: 549690339
Inside the Giant Serpent Tribe market.
Boris Holt burst through the door of an inn near Dean McKenzie¡¯s establishment, his face aze with excitement.
¡°Gentlemen, I just received news. Bruce Hodge haspleted his trade with the Giant Serpent Tribe.¡±
The news brought by Boris was undoubtedly thrilling for the five-men group gathered in this room.
¡°Finally, it ispleted!¡±
With this deal done, he should leave the Giant Serpent Tribe, right?¡±
¡°Our business can officially start now!¡±
The leader of the group immediately ordered, ¡°Old Four and Old Five, keep a close eye on that kid. The moment he ns to leave the Giant Serpent Tribe, report back immediately! Be careful not to let him slip away. If he escapes, you¡¯ll be skinned alive!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, that kid won¡¯t be able to escape!¡±
Affirming with excited nods, Old Four and Old Five left the inn right away, heading straight towards Dean McKenzie.
They were rubbing their hands, eager to deal with Dean McKenzie.
And Dean didn¡¯t disappoint them.
On the very night hepleted his trade with the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean packed up his belongings, disguised himself, and stealthily left the inn.
Yet, Dean¡¯s actions did not escape the notice of the five-men group.
Old Four and Old Five saw through Dean¡¯s disguise right away.
The group quickly trailed him.
The moment they saw Dean opening the door of the Giant Serpent Tribe with their emblem and leaving, the five-men group swooped in.
AU exceeding fifth-turn professionals.
The guards of the Giant Serpent Tribe seemed negligible to them; they effortlessly bypassed the outer wall and followed suit.
Not long after they left the Giant Serpent Tribe premises, the group sprang into action.
¡°Old Five, Old Six, you nk him. Old Two, Old Three, watch the front and back. Attack simultaneously in ten minutes. Don¡¯t let the kid escape!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
At themand of the group leader, the four men dispersed and quickly surrounded Dean.
Precisely after ten minutes, the group leader ordered the attack.
¡°Attack!¡±
Hismand was met with silence.
A cold, dead silence!
The leader furrowed his brows, ¡°What the hell are you guys ying at, I told you to¡Who!¡±
Just as his words trailed off, the leader¡¯splexion abruptly changed. A ring in his hand lit up, creating an invisible wave that rippled out. At the same moment, Doggy Two appeared less than a meter behind him.
¡°Damn it!¡±
The moment Doggy Two was spotted, the leader¡¯s face instantly drained of color.
Instantly realizing that he walked into a trap, underestimated the enemy¡¯s strength, and likely lost his underlings in that moment, he quickly reacted. Ignoring Doggy Two who was behind him, he activated his skill fervently, attempting to escape!
But at this juncture, escaping wouldn¡¯t be an easy feat.
He¡¯d barely made a move.
The surrounding air filled with the tter of bones.
Soon after, the leader found skeletons surrounding him. He didn¡¯t know when but they were all fifth-turn skeletons. Judging by their aura, none of them were less than excellent quality.
It¡¯s over!
In the moment he saw the group of skeletons, the leader knew survival was slim.
Though he was a sixth-turn expert with a perfect quality temte.
But against these hundreds of fifth-turn skeletons, hecked confidence.
As he sumbed to despair, the skeletons parted, giving way to Dean McKenzie, guarded by a few skeletons.
The moment the leader saw Dean, he knelt.
¡°Esteemed sir, I identally passed through here. If I have offended you in any way, I am willing to¡¡±
¡°Spare me your unnecessary words. You just want a chance to live, right?
I¡¯ll give you this opportunity, Doggy Two!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Two, wielding the Dragon Bone Sword, walked forth.
If you can defeat him, I¡¯ll spare your life!¡±
The leader was taken aback.
Before he could even react, Doggy Two attacked!
¡°Boom!¡±
The Bone Throne descended instantly, Doggy Two charged.
Already at level 9, Doggy Two crossed the two hundred meter distance to the leader in a split second, swinging the Dragon Bone Sword menacingly towards the leader¡¯s head.
The leader was evidently a melee fighter.
With a stretch of his hand, a Ghost de appeared, promptly blocking the Dragon Bone Sword.
Just with that block, the leader¡¯s face darkened.
Mainly because the strength bursting from Doggy Two¡¯s sword was far beyond his expectations. The sudden block nearly made him drop his weapon.
Nevertheless, the leader was a sixth-turn professional.
It was essential for a professional to cultivate up to the sixth-turn with skills, luck, andbat experience.
This leader had extensivebat experience; a single block was enough to gauge Doggy Two¡¯s skill level. In the ensuing fight, he avoided going head-to-head with Doggy Two.
Dependent on his exceptional speed, he entangled with Doggy Two.
For a moment, he even fought Doggy Two equally.
However, Dean knew very well that the leader¡¯s strength was much more than that.
Because the moment Dean caught sight of him, his attributes wereid bare in Dean¡¯s eyes.
Name: Benedict Holt
Profession: Ghost de Master (Perfect)
Level: 140 (Six-turn)
Trait: Heart of the Ghost de (B) (Upon activating Ghost de, his body bes ethereal, immune to physical attacks, and agility increases by five hundred percent..
Chapter 233 - 162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_2
162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_2
Trantor: 549690339
Attack power decreased by twenty percent, but capable of directly attacking the enemy¡¯s soul!
Duration: 3 minutes)
Intermediate (Special)
Attributes:
Strength: 156,850. Agility: 175,772. Physique: 123,000. Spirit: 3,000
Attack: 15,68,500
Defense: 1.23 Million
Spirit Power: 2.5 Million
Skill: Omitted
This Benedict Holt¡¯s basic attributes certainly can¡¯t match Doggy Two¡¯s.
After all, Doggy Two¡¯s basic attributes are:
Strength: 89685. Agility: 28772.5. Physique: 18072.5. Spirit: 18072.5
Add to that the one hundred percent attribute increase by the [Bone Throne], and the three hundred percent attribute increase from Dean McKenzie s domination of the Skeletons.
All these attributes have been multiplied times four.
At this point, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising that Doggy Two couldpletely suppress the opponent.
However, the opponent was not without a counter. Once they activated the
Heart of the Ghost de, they could immediately turn the tide of the battle!
Sure enough, after a few minutes of trading blows with Doggy Two and being hard-pressed, Benedict Holt gritted his teeth and immediately switched on the Heart of the Ghost de.
As soon as the Ghost de was activated, Benedict Holt¡¯s entire form became illusory.
Doggy Two¡¯s attacksnded on his body without causing any damage, and in response he sent a slice flying with his Ghost Head Saber. The saber became void-like and directly struck Doggy Two¡¯s soul.
The Bone Throne glowed briefly, blocking this mortal blow for Doggy Two.
After Benedict Holt made his move, he turned and ran straight towards Dean McKenzie.
He had been scheming since the beginning of his fight with Doggy Two. His explosive counterattack seemed directed against Doggy Two, but in reality, his main target was to attack Dean McKenzie.
At this moment, his suddenly exploding Agility reached a speed nearing 900,000.
The speed was so high that it was practically instantaneous. He arrived in front of Dean McKenzie in a split second, and the Ghost Head Saber in his hand struck Dean McKenzie¡¯s forehead in the blink of an eye.
With that sh, an expression of wild joy spread across Benedict Holt¡¯s face.
Sess!
Once Dean McKenzie is dead, the group of skeletons here will not be a threat.
But then, his expression changed.
He felt that his saber had hit Dean McKenzie¡¯s head, or rather, his soul, without the usual tofu-slicing feeling thates from attacking a soul. Instead, it felt like he had hit a diamond.
Benedict Holt was stunned on the spot.
He never expected that Dean McKenzie¡¯s soul defense, or Spirit defense, would be so terrifying.
Meanwhile, in front of him, the Dean McKenzie who had been hit on the forehead by his Ghost Head Saber shook his head helplessly.
¡°You¡¯re not taking advantage of opportunities!¡±
Benedict Holt¡¯s face changed dramatically. He wanted to escape, but it was toote.
A[Slow Curse] made him rooted on the spot, then a Bone Resistance smacked him and sent him flying away. Several Bone Spears pinned him down, piercing his limbs.
In less than three seconds, a six-turn powerhouse who was at full strength, was nailed to the ground by Dean McKenzie, gasping for life.
in actuality, if it hadn¡¯t been for the fact that Dean McKenzie valued his Heart of the Ghost de, thinking that it suited Old Eight well, he would be dead by now.
When Benedict Holt fell, Doggy Two came up and threw him directly into the Land of Bone, bing the first six-turn prisoner in Old Six¡¯s[Bone Prison].
As for the other four fifth-turns¡
Dean McKenzie t out killed them, extracting 4 rare temte pieces.
After tidying everything up, Dean McKenzie put away his skeletons, and left for the Giant Serpent Tribe in a rxed manner.
By the time Dean McKenzie arrived at the Giant Serpent Tribe, Carney, the tribe leader, was already waiting for him.
Seeing Dean McKenzie return, his eyes brightened, and he went up to greet him without a moment¡¯s dy: ¡°Mr. Lee, you¡¯re finally back. What about those others?¡±
Dean McKenzie replied coolly, ¡°They¡¯ve gone to where they should be!
Oh yeah, can you help me handle these as well?¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie threw out five pieces of storage equipment.
Carney was startled, but when he looked at the equipment, his eyes widened. Five pieces of equipment, four fifth-turn and one six-turn.
Without a doubt, these all from the small team that Dean McKenzie had managed to capture.
Although he had guessed that the five-man unit was very likely unable to deal with Dean McKenzie, he did not expect them to be killed so quickly.
From the time Dean McKenzie left the Giant Serpent Tribe to the time he returned, it was at most half an hour.
In less than half an hour, a small team consisting of a six-turn powerhouse leader and four five-turn members was easily defeated by Dean McKenzie.
This made him raise his already high estimation of Dean McKenzie even further.
His attitude towards Dean McKenzie became more and more reverent.
In Dean McKenzie¡¯s presence, he started to check out what was inside the five storage gear.
Actually, Dean McKenzie had already gone through the items inside before returning and taken the cash. The five men together contributed 130,000 gold coins.
That money truly startled Dean McKenzie. He thought that these five-men had attacked him because they were poor, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t have targeted him for just 20,000 gold coins.
But it turned out they were quite wealthy.
What surprised Dean McKenzie even more was that, apart from the money, there wasn¡¯t anything of value in the five men¡¯s storage equipment.
At least, Dean McKenzie felt that the stuff inside was pretty ordinary, but he didn¡¯t expect to hit the jackpot.
¡°Mr. Lee, the items in the first four pieces have a total worth of about ten thousand gold coins. Thisst one¡oh, it actually has this thing!
Carney, who had been checking the storage gear items, was stunned and took out a token with the word ¡°Giant Bear¡± written on it. The material was only made of silver.
Dean McKenzie had seen this thing before and viewed it with the Appraisal Skill. Its attributes were average.
At this moment, seeing Carney holding it, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow: ¡°What is this thing?¡±
Chapter 234 - 162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_3
162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_3
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Mr. Lee, this is the admission token to the high-end trading fair of the Giant Bear Tribe,¡± exined Carney. ¡°With this token, you¡¯ll be able to participate in the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s high-end trading fair!¡±
In case Dean McKenzie was unaware of the prestige associated with this trading event, Carney continued, ¡°This fair is considered the most high-end trading event for anyone below seven-turn in South Barbarian.¡±
¡°Rare and superior objects often appear, and sometimes even Seventh-turn Task Scrolls show up.¡±
As he was saying this, a thought suddenly struck Carney, ¡°Speaking of which, the people who attacked you might have been preparing for this trading fair.
Their leader has already reached the Six-turn Peak Level 140, and should start preparing for the Seven-turn.
This time, their hostility towards you was likely a desperate attempt to collect funds to purchase a seventh-turn Task Scroll!¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
Frankly, he wasn¡¯t interested in why they attacked him. What really intrigued him was this so-called high-end trading fair.
And the matter about the Task Scrolls.
¡°Aren¡¯t there Promotion Temples? Why would they need Task Scrolls? Why can¡¯t they just use the Promotion Temples?¡±
¡°Huh!¡±
Dean¡¯s question momentarily left Carney speechless, not for its difficulty but for its inherent naivete, akin to his bafflement over people not eating minced meat.
¡°Well, the Promotion Temple is more straightforward to use if it¡¯s an option.
But the problem is, most of the time, the Promotion Temple is not usable.
Take our Giant Serpent Tribe, for instance, our tribe¡¯s Promotion Temple only has three levels, enabling up to a third-turn only. For higher turns, there are only two choices.
Either borrow from another tribe¡¯s temple or use the Task Scroll.¡±
¡°Furthermore, high-level Promotion Temples are scarce; the highest one known this side of South Barbarian only has as many as six levels.
And even those are under the control of the dominant tribes. For minor tribes like ours, trying to borrow the Promotion Temple from the major tribes is nearly impossible ¨C unfathomably expensive yet not guaranteed!
Therefore, Task Scrolls have be our most optimal choice.¡±
From Carney¡¯s words, Dean McKenzie could grasp the hardship and gloom of factions like theirs who didn¡¯t possess high level Promotion Temples.
Apparently, South Barbarian is no utopia!
Dean McKenzie shook his head and steered the conversation back to the token, ¡°When will their trading fair take ce?¡±
¡°It is held on the 15th of every month!¡±
¡°The 15th, huh?¡±
The corner of Dean McKenzie¡¯s mouth twitched; considering that today was the 23rd, he would have to wait until next month.
Next month it is.
Dean McKenzie was primarily interested in the fair at the moment, with no urgency to procure anything in particr.
It didn¡¯t matter whether it was next month or the one after that to explore this trading fair.
Subsequently, after Carney finished the inventory check and Dean McKenzie left him to deal with the rest, he prepared to leave. Then Carney abruptly remembered something, ¡°Oh yes, what are you nning to do with Boris Holt?¡± ¡°Boris Holt, huh?¡±
Dean McKenzie shrugged, ¡°Can¡¯t we just bury him somewhere?¡±
Scratching his head, Carney said, ¡°The Business Association behind Boris Holt does hold a certain influence in South Barbarian¡¡±
Dean McKenzie understood, it couldn¡¯t be dealt with that recklessly.
¡°Yours suggestion?¡±
¡°I suggest negotiating with their business association. They have a good reputation. I believe they¡¯ll provide you with a satisfactory answer!¡±
¡°Alright, then. You handle it!¡±
With that, Dean McKenzie left the matter to Carney, returned to his small inn with the Giant Bear token.
After returning to the inn, Dean McKenzie first looked over the Land of Bone.
To be urate, he was checking up on Finch Olmedo¡¯s situation.
To his surprise, Finch Olmedo was nowhere to be found in the Land of Bone.
Surprised, Dean looked over towards the treasure chest only to discover the elite monster guarding it being knocked down, and the chest pried open.
Just by these signs, Dean had a rough idea of the current situation on Finch¡¯s end.
Simultaneously, the system alert refreshed.
[Your citizen Finch Olmedo has used the [Dogman Nest]!]
¡°I remember the Dogman Nest being a Level 18 instance, right?
Being able to enter this instance means that thisd is already Level 18. If all goes smoothly in the instance, he should be hitting Level 20 upon exiting. Perfect, once he¡¯s out, I¡¯ll arrange for him to discover the [Promotion Temple]!
In addition, I¡¯ll have Old Six set up a small store with a skeleton acting as an NPC ¨C exclusively selling promotion materials.
Given the current resources in Land of Bone, it shouldn¡¯t take long to train him until the fourth-turn.
After reaching the fourth-turn, he can start work.
I¡¯m quite looking forward to the contribution from this worker.¡±
Next, Dean McKenzie checked on the progress of the rest of his workforce in the settlement area.
He noted that, overall, they were performing decently.
Most of the warriors, aside from a few that were loafing around, had reached Levels 4 or 5.
For those others who weren¡¯t Finch Olmedo, Dean had no intention of nurturing them until the fourth-turn.
Instead, he nned on giving them some time to grow.
Provisionally set at three months, irrespective of circumstances, they would be sent out.
Dean doesn¡¯t n on sustaining them forever.
To this extent, he had done his part to the utmost.
They would need to venture forward on their own. At most, Dean could give them a way out by letting them return to the Land of Bone for short periods every month.
Of course, that¡¯s for those engaged in warfare. As for those with a lifestyle profession, Dean would continue to provide for them as long as they wished
so..
Chapter 235 - 162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_4

After all, they were capable of creating value.
However Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t imprison them. After three months, he would still give them the permission to enter and leave the Land of Bone.
By then, it would be up to them whether they wanted to stay or leave.
After checking up on the situation in the gathering ce, Dean McKenzie shifted his gaze back to Doggy Eight.
To be exact, his gaze fell upon Doggy Eight¡¯s skills.
The trait he picked up from the recently defeated Benedict Holt was a good fit for Doggy Eight, so Dean nned to enhance him. However, he hesitated over which of Doggy Eight¡¯s skills to enhance.
¡°The Heart of the Ghost de has a good affinity with Doggy Eight¡¯s Strong Stealth skill, although Strong Stealth already has the Trait ¡®Power of Shadow¡¯. Although it¡¯s only an excellent trait, it is level 5 and has invincibility, invisibility, and can evade physical damage.
Adding another Heart of the Ghost de to this skill would be at most icing on the cake.
Moreover,pared to the icing, it might even be the worst icing. So, I think it would be better to enhance this trait of Forced Decapitation!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, opening up Doggy Eight¡¯s fourth-turn skill ¡®Forced Decapitation¡¯.
Skill: Forced Decapitation (Fourth-turn)
Level: 1
Cost: 10,000 spirit power points
Effect: After activation, attack the enemy¡¯s neck, inflicting 20 times the damage of strength plus agility plus attack.
There is a 10% chance of triggering beheading effect, which can decapitate the enemy!
Dean selected this skill and immediately began. Right there and then, he sacrificed Benedict Holt.
[You used the Summon Skeleton ¡ö Bone Sublimation effect to start your skill enhancement for your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eighths Forced Decapitation, you have 150 minutes of skill enhancement time!]
[You killed Benedict Holt (Perfect) (Level 14.0). Your level has been raised to 82!]
[Your Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit each increased by 160 points!]
[You sessfully extracted from Benedict Holt, gaining 500 attribute points and the Perfect Essence: Ghost de!]
[You spent 500 gold coins, integrating the Perfect Essence Ghost de into the skill Forced Decapitation, the skill generated the trait Ghost de!]
[You spent 40,000 gold coins, integrating 1,000,000 attribute points into the skill, enhancing the soul attack direction!]
[You spent 1,000 gold, and the Trait Ghost de devours 5,000 High-Quality Essence!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eighths Forced Decapitation skill enhancement is sessful!]
Skill: Forced Decapitation (Fourth-turn) (Once Enhanced)
Level: 1
Cost: 50,000 Spirit Power Points
Effect: After activation, attack the enemy¡¯s neck, causing 25 times damage of strength plus agility plus attack.
Has a 20% chance of triggering a beheading effect, which can decapitate the enemy!
Trait: Ghost de (Perfect) (Level 1)
Effect: (Active) After activation, you can directly attack the enemy¡¯s soul, the attack effect is 20% plus 1,000,000 of skill attack
With an investment of over 40,000 gold coins, Doggy Eight¡¯s Forced Decapitation skill achieved substantial enhancement.
What does a single sh worth 999 entail?
Doggy Eight¡¯s sh was it!
Should it backstab Dean McKenzie now, a single stroke could instantly finish Dean off.
With thepletion of the skill enhancement, Doggy Eight was full of excitement.
The sky seemed clear, and it felt as if the rain had stopped and Doggy Eight was in fine fettle again.
It dashed towards Doggy Two again.
But Doggy Eight forgot that this was the Land of Bone, and it was supposedly a subordinate of Doggy Two.
In the Land of Bone, by the Bone Throne of Doggy Two.
Doggy Eight¡¯s stealth was tantamount to running naked with its eyes covered, thinking others couldn¡¯t see it, while others could see everything clearly.
Doggy Eight¡¯s fate was naturally pathetic.
His skeleton was again dismantled!
Worse than having his skeleton dismantled, his confidence was greatly frustrated, and he felt nothing but disdain for the skill he had just enhanced.
He couldn¡¯t beat Doggy Two before enhancing his skill, and he couldn¡¯t beat Doggy Two even after the enhancement. Wasn¡¯t his skill only enhanced in vain?
The entire skeleton of Doggy Eight was in doubt.
Dean McKenzie watched with a heartyugh throughout the whole process, showing not one iota of sympathy. When Doggy Eight was in doubt, he evenughed louder.
Afterughing at Doggy Eight, Dean McKenzie then reviewed the experience gained from this enhancement.
¡°The Ghost de trait Doggy Eight got was Perfect Quality from the start. With me pouring 5,000 high-quality essence into it, the trait still didn¡¯t upgrade to Extraordinary.
Looking at the progress bar, it only moved about one-sixth. Looks like it would take at least 3,0000 high-quality essences to promote a Perfect Trait to Extraordinary using just high-quality essences.¡±
Dean McKenzie obviously didn¡¯t have 30,000 high-quality essences.
He only had slightly over 10,000 elite temtes on hand, but he did have quite a number of excellent temtes.
Afterpleting the exchange with the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean McKenzie had as many as 4,000 excellent temtes in hand.
However, Dean McKenzie definitely wouldn¡¯t sacrifice all these 4,000 excellent temtes.
¡°The Skeleton Giant temtes can¡¯t be touched, Assassin, Bone Shield Warrior, Knight, Mage, Archer need to be kept. Skeleton Warrior is pretty useless, so I can sacrifice 2,000 temtes!
I should have enough to promote a Trait to Extraordinary Quality with 2,000 excellent temtes plus another 10,000 elite temtes!¡±
So, the problem was, which Trait should Dean McKenzie strengthen?
There weren¡¯t many perfect Traits remaining in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands right now.
Doggy Eight¡¯s Forced Decapitation skill¡¯s trait Ghost de is perfect, but this skill is only level 1 so it can¡¯t be enhanced further.
Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield skill¡¯s trait Damage Reduction is also perfect. It can passively immunize 95% of attacks from six-turn or lower levels and nullify Armor Break and Real attacks..
Chapter 236 - 162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_5
162 The First Extraordinary Trait (Two in One)_5
Trantor: 549690339
It¡¯s a potent skill, but simrly, the level of the Guardian Shield skill isn¡¯t high enough.
Even though it¡¯s close to bing level 2, it¡¯s not there yet. Even when it reaches level 2, it¡¯s still a long way from being formidable.
The other skeletons don¡¯t have the Perfect Quality trait, but Dean McKenzie has two in his hands.
One is ¡°Undying¡± from ¡°Skeleton Reign¡±, the other is ¡°Insight¡± from ¡°Appraisal Skill¡±.
Both traits are significantly helpful.
¡°Undying¡± gives all the skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand a chance to live again.
¡°Insight¡± notably enhances Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power.
That trait yed a crucial role inpleting the Fourth-turn Trial.
The question is, between ¡°Undying¡± and ¡°Insight¡±, which should Dean McKenzie enhance?
For that, Dean McKenzie responds: ¡°Only kids have to choose. As an adult, I naturally want both traits!¡±
Of course, he only says this jokingly. He knows the resources he has likely won¡¯t be enough to enhance both.
So, Dean McKenzie decides to enhance ¡°Undying¡± first!
He first plunges into the ¡°Bone Tomb¡±, setting off a flurry of ¡°Summon Skeletons.¡±
[You have initiated the double enhancement of the skill ¡°Skeleton Reign!¡±]
[It cost you 40, ooo gold coins, granting the skill a million attribute points, in the direction of ¡°Skeleton Strength!¡±]
[It cost you 2,000 gold coins. The trait ¡°Undying¡± is devouring 10,ooo High-Quality Essence!]
[You spent 4,000 gold coins, ¡°Undying¡± has devoured 2,000 Excellent Essences!]
[Your skill ¡°Skeleton Reign¡± has been sessfully enhanced!]
Skill: Skeleton Reign (Third-turn) (Double Enhanced)
Level: 3(1.87 million/20 million)
Effect: Passively increases all attributes of ¡°Summon Skeletons¡± by three hundred percent (single attribute limit 1.3 million), adding 13,000 to attack and defense.
Trait: Undying (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (Summoned Skeletons can resurrect once a day.)
After Dean McKenzie spent 40,000 gold, and exhausted 10,000 elite skeletons and 2,000 excellent skeletons, he has now gained his first Extraordinary Trait.
The result shows that the effects seem to be no different from before, still only being able to resurrect once a day.
But Dean McKenzie knows the difference is significant.
The previous ¡°Undying¡± was just Perfect Quality, meaning that Hardship Quality damage could still make Undying ineffective.
Now that it has been upgraded to ¡°Extraordinary¡±, Doggy Two and the others¡¯ survivability has greatly improved.
Even though this time Dean McKenzie only enhanced ¡°Skeleton Reign¡±, as he enhanced his skills, one of Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill levels also increased.
[Your skill ¡°Summon Skeletons¡± has advanced to Level 10!]
With this system prompt, Dean McKenzie¡¯s second skill has been upgraded to Level 10.
Dean McKenzie immediately checked the attributes of Summon Skeletons.
On seeing this, Dean McKenzie furrowed his brows.
The maximum level of skeletons that Summon Skeletons can summon didn¡¯t go up, still capped at level 120. But the number of simultaneous existing skeletons increased by ten to reach 110.
Seeing this Level 10 attribute, McKenzie realized something.
¡°It seems that the potential of ¡®Summon Skeletons¡¯ has almost been fully exploited; 120 levels are almost the limit for Summon Skeletons.
Or rather, 120 levels have long exceeded the limit of this basic skill ¡®Summon Skeletons¡¯. It¡¯s just that my talent is continuously amplifying this skill.
Without any surprise, it¡¯s almost reached its limit.
Even if I enhance it, I would need to spend a great deal of resources to further improve it.
That would be more trouble than it¡¯s worth!
In that case, it¡¯s time to use my Skill Fusion Scroll!¡±
With that said, Dean McKenzie took out the ¡°Intermediate Skill Fusion Scroll¡± that he had gotten from a previous dungeon.
[You used the Intermediate Skill Fusion Scroll¡]
Chapter 237 - 163 ten days, Guardian Shield upgrades
163 ten days, Guardian Shield upgrades
Trantor: 549690339
In the Land of Bone, as Dean McKenzie used the [Skill Fusion Scroll], system notifications refreshed instantly.
[You have used the [Skill Fusion Scroll (Intermediate)], chosen to merge skills [Summon Skeleton] and [Dominate Skeleton]!]
[Please note, since one of the merged skills has extraordinary traits, the fusion sess rate drops to only thirty percent, do you wish to proceed with the
fusion?]
These two updates in the system notifications made Dean McKenzie pause his operations immediately.
¡°A thirty percent sess rate, huh?
That¡¯s a bit too low!¡±
This statistic made Dean McKenzie abandon the fusion.
After all, if the fusion failed, the scroll would be lost forever.
What¡¯s more, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t sure if a failed fusion would have any impact on his skills?
Both skills were currently Dean McKenzie¡¯s absolute main skills, and he didn¡¯t wish for any errors in them.
¡°Forget it, these two skills can still be used for now, I can wait longer for fusion.
If one fusion scroll isn¡¯t enough for two skills, and if two scrolls aren t sufficient then I shall wait for a high-level one, eventually, I¡¯ll be able to
enhance the skills.¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie put away the Skill Fusion Scroll.
After giving up on the fusion of skills, Dean McKenzie turned his attention towards the remaining temtes in his possession.
Dean McKenzie currently had two thousand Excellent Temtes in his possession.
He couldn¡¯t afford to lose the bulk of these temtes andbining it with the improvements from the [Undying]trait, Dean McKenzie reckoned that even if he used all of them, they might still not be enough to enhance one trait to
Perfect Quality.
Hence, Dean McKenzie gave up on Skill Enhancement.
The focus then moved to the temtes in his own temte storage.
Specifically, the [Skeleton Giant Temtes][Weak Skeleton Dragon Temtes]and the [Ancient y Stone Demon Core],
Two temtes and one material.
They were, respectively, Excellent, Rare, and Perfect in quality.
Among them, the [Ancient y Stone Demon Core], although it¡¯s of Perfect
Quality, had the lowest cost-effectiveness ratio.
Because the summoning of [y Stone Demon]is the same as [Summon Skeleton], both are temporary in nature.
Surely, this item could allow Dean McKenzie to summon a Perfect Quality y Stone Demon, but under normal circumstances, the y Stone Demon could only exist for a certain casting duration before crumbling, once Dean McKenzie let go of the mana supply. In the process, part of the energy of this core would also get consumed.
Which means, this item is essentially a consumable item.
Of course, that¡¯s in rtion to others.
If Dean McKenzie wished, he could enhance the y Stone Demon.
In that case, something that¡¯s regarded as a disposable item to others, in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands, could be a permanent item.
However, after a moment¡¯s hesitation, Dean McKenzie still decided to abandon
it.
Primarily because[y Stone Demon]is a Third-Turn skill and Dean McKenzie would need to consume three Extra Grant Quotas.
Using three quotas in exchange for a maximum power of 120 at Perfect Quality, Dean McKenzie deemed it to not be cost-effective.
In contrast, Dean McKenzie was somewhat more interested in the [Weak Skeleton Dragon Temte] and [Skeleton Giant Temte].
¡°The Rare Quality Skeleton Giant Temte has pretty good fighting power, but in Excellent Quality, it was only so-so.
As for the Skeleton Dragon, it¡¯s predictable that the fighting power of a Rare Quality Skeleton Dragon would be remarkable. But of course, if possible, I would hope to elevate both temtes to Perfect Quality!¡±
Dean McKenzie, who himself had a Perfect Quality Skeleton, knew very well the difference in power between a Perfect Quality Skeleton and a Rare Quality Skeleton under normal circumstances.
If possible, Dean McKenzie, of course, hoped that all his skeletons could reach Perfect Quality.
But Dean McKenzie knew that it was a bit difficult.
¡°At least Old Eight and the others, and the Skeleton Dragon should be first elevated to Perfect Quality, right?¡±
It¡¯s easy to say this, but to aplish it, how easy could that be?
ording to the calction, it would take one Perfect Quality BOSS piece per Skeleton, so for 33 Skeleton Dragons, along with Old Four, Old Six, Old Seven, Old Nine and Dean McKenzie¡¯s own thought.
He would need to y exactly 120 Perfect Quality bosses.
¡°Where am I supposed to find that many Perfect Quality bosses?
Perfect Quality Temtes don¡¯t fall from the sky, I can¡¯t possibly search the South Barbarian Mountain Range map end to end¡¡±
[Your subject[Finch Olmedo]has returned from the dungeon challenge, this dungeon challenge achieved a rating of S-level!]
[As his ruler, you can im thirty percent of his rewards!]
Just as Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t even finished his sentence, the system notifications refreshed.
At the same time, an optional dungeon reward list popped up. Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes fell upon the [Corpse of the Monster in by Finch Olmedo] first!
He promptly selected it.
[You have chosen to receive the corpse of the monster in by Finch Olmedo!
You have received [120 Elite Dogman Corpses], [30 Excellent Dogman Corpses], and [3 Rare Dogman Corpses]!]
Apanied by the system notification refresh, 153 corpses appeared out of nowhere in the Land of Bone.
This sudden appearance of corpses left Dean McKenzie in awe, ¡°Does the sky really drop temtes?¡±
Although these corpses could no longer be extracted by Dean McKenzie, it wasn¡¯t a big issue.
Dean McKenzie still had the [Summon Skeleton] and the [Bone Rebirth] trait. Since all these corpses were at level 20 and hadn¡¯t even reached First-Turn, it only cost a few dozen Gold Coins to revive all 153, and he got it done.
With a wave of Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand, they were all dispatched,ting him 40 Elite Temtes, 10 Excellent Temtes, and 1 Rare Temte.
Though the profit wasn¡¯t much, Dean McKenzie was quite pleased.
Looking again at Finch Olmedo, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of fulfillment, like someone who has just sessfully raised a child..

He initially thought that Finch Olmedo would have to be at the fourth-turn to start working for him. However, to his surprise, Olmedo was ready to work even before reaching the first-turn.
This made Dean McKenzie very pleased, prompting him to swiftly assign Finch Olmedo to the Promotion Temple and his promotion matters.
Meanwhile, Dean also arranged for the Instance Monument from the Valley of Dragons.
Keeping to his principle to squeeze out every bit of usefulness out of his resources.
Dean ns to promote Finch to the first-turn as soon as possible, and then have him help out in the Valley of Dragons.
However, while Finch being avable to help is certainly delightful, considering Dean¡¯s current temte shortfall, it was far from enough!
¡°Am I really going to have to farm monsters?¡±
That could work too.
The problem is, Dean needed a lot more than what he currently has.
Finding perfect quality BOSS monsters isn¡¯t easy. If Dean were to grind through every single map, he had no idea when he would gather all he needed.
Wait a minute, he¡¯d been a bit daft. Why did he have to farm these himself?
If monster corpses along with Bone Rebirth could be used to create temtes, why can¡¯t he just get his hands on perfect quality corpses?
The more Dean thought about it, the more intriguing this idea became. Subsequently, Dean consulted Carney about the matter of monster corpses. Although Carney wasn¡¯t well-versed about this aspect of business, he took Dean¡¯s enquiry quite seriously and quickly found out more about it.
Very quickly, he made Dean an offer.
Perfect quality corpse price list
First-turn: 5 to 50 gold
Second-turn: 50 to 250 gold
Third-turn: 250 to 1000 gold
Fourth-turn: 3000 to 10,000 gold coins
Fifth-turn: Starting at 20,000 gold coins
Looking at the price list, Dean realized that he could not afford the fourth or fifth-turn corpses, they were way too expensive.
The first and the second-turn ones were within his reach.
However, there was an issue. Perfect quality monsters were rarely first or second-turn, thus these were essentially priceless.
For Dean who wanted to buy in bulk, the only feasible option was the third-turn.
At a minimum of 30,000 gold coins for 120 perfect quality third-turn corpses. That was merely the purchasing cost, the resurrection cost was additional.
In a conservative estimate, Dean reckoned he would have to spend at least 50,000 gold coins, that too under an ideal situation.
If his luck faltered, the price could go up to 250,000 gold coins.
Still, Dean bit the bullet and ced the order.
He even advanced the remaining 50,000 gold coins in his possession to Carney, urging him to acquire the 120 corpses as soon as possible.
Seeing Dean¡¯s high priority towards this matter and the subtle suggestion about this potentially bing a long-term transaction like temtes, Carney took the matter even more seriously.
The very same day, the Giant Serpent Tribe delivered 12 third-turn perfect quality corpses they had at their disposal to Dean.
Then, the tribe¡¯s few fifth-turn, and a handful of the fourth-turn higher ranks practically made a clean break, heading towards various tribes to source what Dean needed.
The entire tribe spared almost no defensive force.
The main reason being that with Dean in their Giant Serpent Tribe, Carney felt there was no significant need for their people to stay and defend.
He trusted Dean¡¯s abilities and blindly trusted his character.
Meanwhile, Dean was also busy resurrecting the 12 corpses, each costing around 50 gold coins, amounting to a total of 600 gold coins. He collected 4 perfect quality temtes.
When he sessfully held the 4 perfect quality temtes, Dean had an unreal feeling.
¡°So, this is the right way to use my talent.
There¡¯s no need to fight tooth and nail, really, no necessity at all!
As long as I gather sufficient resources, I can level up from home!¡±
Nevertheless, this method, though effective, was a bit costly.
Dean had no idea how long his remaining money wouldst.
¡°Screw it, just keep the ball rolling while I can, once out of money I can always earn more!¡±
Dean exhibited a carefree attitude, akin to someone embracing death if they couldn¡¯t make ends meet. Then he used the four perfect quality temtes he had.
[You¡¯ve used 4 perfect quality temtes!]
[The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Eight) has improved, evolving into a ¡®Stealthy Skeleton Assassin¡¯. Feature ¡®Inconspicuous¡¯ elevated to B-grade!] [The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Four) has improved, evolving into a ¡®Guardian Skeleton Warrior¡¯. Feature ¡®Enhanced Defense¡¯ elevated to B-grade!] [The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Six) has improved, evolving into a ¡®Nonchnt Netherworld Skeleton Mage¡¯. Features ¡®Power of the Nether¡¯ and ¡®Dark Specialization¡¯ elevated to B-grade!]
[The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Nine) has improved, evolving into a ¡®Luck-Bending Skeleton Crossbowman¡¯. Feature ¡®Lucky Crossbow¡¯ elevated to B-grade!]
In just one swoop, Dean managed to elevate all of his main servants to perfect quality.
Their strength skyrocketed.
However, Dean focused more on Old Six¡¯s professional trait and Old Nine¡¯s trait.
¡®Dark Specialization (B) (Construction trait, understand and construct dark attribute buildings at an enhanced 300% efficiency, 50% increase in building attributes.)¡¯
¡®Trait: Lucky Crossbow (B) (Luck affects your attack, due to luck, each of your hits will cause damage multiplied by a randomized number between 1 and 50.)¡¯
Looking at these two traits, Dean showed a satisfied smile.
His chief construction architect was showing clear improvement, and Archer
Nine¡¯s specialization was gradually taking shape as well..
Chapter 239 - 163 Ten days, Guardian Shield upgrades to level 3
163 Ten days, Guardian Shield upgrades to level 3
Trantor: 549690339 I
¡°The minimum limit for Lucky Crossbow is finally down to 1, meaning the effect of its next attack will always result in damage enhancement. With good luck, it can directly inflict 50 times the damage.¡±
Old Nine¡¯s base damage is now 420,000. Fifty times that base damage alone can directly trigger a 21 million damage, not to mention a skill outbreak.
Its Fourth-turn skill [Death Arrow] brings a one percent chance of triggering the Excellent effect of [Instant Death].
The upper limit is 25 times the sum of strength, agility, and attack. Dean McKenzie calcted for it, and the base damage alone is around 12 million.
If we¡¯re lucky and directly trigger 50 times the damage, we can directly deliver an output of six hundred million.
What does that mean?
I guess no one could resist within Six-turn, Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield can barely resist!
If utilized properly, it could absolutely be the strongest output on Dean McKenzie¡¯s side.
This is based on the condition that Death Arrow hasn¡¯t been enhanced yet. Once this skill is fully enhanced, Old Nine¡¯s output will definitely transcend to another level.
However, Dean McKenzie is not in a rush to enhance Old Nine¡¯s skill.
¡°There¡¯s no suitable trait avable right now, so we¡¯re going to put Death Arrow¡¯s enhancement on hold for now. Let Old Nine first brush up his skill proficiency. Otherwise, if we enhance the skillter, it will be doubly difficult to increase skill proficiency!¡±
After enhancing skills for so long, Dean McKenzie has figured out a pattern.
If a skill hasn¡¯t been enhanced yet, it¡¯s easy to raise the skill proficiency level.
But the benefits of raising the level aren¡¯t significant.
If a skill is enhanced, it¡¯s harder to raise the skill level, but the benefits will be much greater than without the enhancement.
How to choose specifically still depends on the situation.
After repeated experiments, Dean McKenzie felt that upgrading the skill to level 3 and then enhancing it would be more appropriate.
This offers two opportunities for enhancement, and if you upgradeter, the benefits won¡¯t be too small.
Anyway, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t have any strong opponents he needs to face right now, so he can let Old Nine upgrade [Death Arrow] to level 3 first.
¡°ording to what Carney told me, it will be at least 10 days and at most half a month before the first batch of bodies arrives.
In this time, I will put all my effort into refreshing skill proficiency.
Once the bodies arrive, summon the 33 Bone Dragons, start enhancing Old Nine¡¯s skill, enhance the power to the current peak, and then open the [Goblin Uprising] instance!¡±
Dean McKenzie still remembers how thest instance came about.
From the moment it came outst time, Dean McKenzie swore to avenge his defeat.
But Raymond¡¯s strengthst time made Dean McKenzie very cautious. This time, he¡¯s fully prepared before going into the instance.
This is all to make sure that he can absolutely secure the victory this time.
¡°He must die, I say!¡±
Then, from Dean McKenzie to every skeleton under hismand, all began a period of secluded cultivation and began to brush up their skill proficiency like crazy.
Dean McKenzie mainly brushed up on [Skeleton Domination], [Bone Spear], [Meditation], and [Flying Skill].
Doggy Two brushed the skills [Bone Eruption], [Heavy Destruction], [Bone King], and [Steel Bones].
Old Eight brushed [Strong Stealth], [Forced Decapitation], [Dagger Poisoning], and [Poison Strengthening].
The remaining Old Four, Old Seven, and Old Nine simply brushed up on their reinforced skills.
Old Six, the head Skeleton Mage in Dean McKenzie¡¯s army, focused entirely on strengthening [Bone Tomb].
Because of the deal with the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean McKenzie stopped throwing his wealth around.
In terms of living, things were great at the small inn. Dean McKenzie was able to focus fully on his secluded cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, 10 days passed.
Dean McKenzie had some gains during this time.
His [Bone Spear] increased to level 10, bing Dean McKenzie¡¯s third level 10 skill, and also the only one that reached level 10 without being enhanced.
Moreover, both [Flight Skill] and [Meditation] had increased by 1 level. Both abilities saw definite enhancements. Level 2 Flight Skill allowed Dean McKenzie to fly at a height of 600 meters, with a speed reaching 55% of his Spiritual Power.
Meditation reached level 8, with a maximum recovery rate of 61664 per minute.
While 61,000 seems like arge recovery rate, in contrast to Dean McKenzie¡¯s 5.2 million mana, it seems somewhat inadequate.
If he lets it flow naturally, it would take 85 minutes to fully recover.
But it¡¯s already pretty good.
Dean McKenzie currently doesn¡¯t have an urgent need for mana, so he doesn¡¯t n on continuing to enhance this skill for now.
Compared to those three skills, the leveling up of Skeleton Domination was somewhat slower. It was level 3 ten days ago and still is. But that¡¯s normal, considering Dean McKenzie¡¯s [Skeleton Domination] has Extraordinary Traits, right?
Over the course of 10 days, in addition to Dean McKenzie, the skills of other skeletons have also improved to varying degrees.
Old Two¡¯s [Bone King] has increased to level 7, and [Heavy Destruction] has increased to level 3!
Old Six¡¯s [Dagger Poisoning] and [Poison Strengthening] have both increased to level 6!
Old Seven¡¯s [Fearless Charge] has increased to level 3, and Old Nine¡¯s [Death Arrow] has increased to level 2.
But the key point is that Old Four¡¯s [Guardian Shield] has increased to level 2.
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn) (1 Enhancement)
Level: Level 2 (121/10 million points)
Cost: 300,000 Spirit Power
Effect: After activation, it can open the Guardian Shield, link two units, and transfer the damage taken by the other party to itself.
Passive increase of 23 times their own physique plus a fixed defense of 5..6 million, reduce 33% damage
Chapter 240 - 163 ten days, Guardian Shield upgrades_4
163 ten days, Guardian Shield upgrades_4
Trantor: 549690339
Trait: Damage Reduction (Perfect)
Guardian Shield Level 2, the skill that Dean McKenzie spent hundreds of thousands on, brought him an enormous surprise.
The fixed defense bonus alone has reached 5.6 million.
More importantly, at level 2 the Guardian Shield can connect to two units.
This was extremely powerful.
Old Four could protect two units at once simultaneously, and the first person Dean McKenzie thought of was Old Nine.
After Old Nine gained his Perfect Quality status, his damage output greatly increased.
The only headache was his context for dealing damage, but now, under Old Four¡¯s protection, Old Nine can confidently unleash his damage.
He could even achieve 50 times the damage!
It¡¯s fair to say that over these 10 days, Dean Mckenzie¡¯sbat power has seen a significant increase.
In addition to his own major improvement within these ten days, Dean McKenzie also received other surprises.
One was from Finch Olmedo¡¯s side.
In these ten days, Finch Olmedo haspleted his One-turn Trial.
He passed the ¡°Nightmare Difficulty¡± trial, which resulted in a significant increase in his strength.
His Attribute Points have reached:
Strength: 132, Agility: 64, Physique: 72, Spirit: 2
Attack: 264
Defense: 72
This Attribute seems unremarkable at first nce.
Butparing it with Dean McKenzie¡¯s Attribute when he made a One-turn, one quickly realizes how incredible it is.
Attributes:
Strength: 5.4, Agility: 5.6, Physique: 43.6, Spirit: 130.2 (18)
Mana Attack: 260.4
This was Dean McKenzie¡¯s Attribute when he made a One-turn, and Finch Olmedo¡¯s Attributes have surpassed Dean McKenzie¡¯s by nearly a hundred points.
It¡¯s absolutely extraordinary!
Fortunately, Finch is now working for Dean McKenzie, otherwise, Dean Mckenzie would be green with envy.
After his sessful One-turn, Finch Olmedo immediately entered the Valley of the Dragons.
He went in and stayed for four to five days, and hasn¡¯te out yet.
However, as the owner of the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie could see that Finch Olmedo¡¯s Level had increased from 21 to 30 within a few days, which suggested his earnings in the Valley of the Dragons must be substantial. Dean Mckenzie was looking forward to what Finch Olmedo could bring him after he came out.
Apart from Finch Olmedo, the Gathering ce also brought Dean McKenzie a surprise.
A Pill Refiner apprentice with a Perfect Temte appeared at the Gathering ce.
The guy was a man in his fifties. Everybody else had finished their job transitions, and he hadn¡¯t, so Dean McKenzie had no hope for him. Unexpectedly, in the end, he turned out to have a Perfect Temte.
Although this Pill Refiner with a Perfect Temte couldn¡¯t refine a single pill yet, Dean McKenzie had faith that given time, he would bring him a big surprise.
The other one was rted to the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s side.
Ten days¡¯ time, the members of the Giant Serpent Tribe had made some substantial progress.
Over time, they had already delivered few batches of corpses and temtes.
Dean McKenzie had been too busy with his skill grinding and didn¡¯t have time to receive the deliveries, but today, Dean McKenzie had been informed by Carney and decided to stop his retreat and receive the deliveries.
ording to Carney¡¯s information, thetest by tonight, all the first batch of corpses and the second batch of temtes from the Giant Serpent Tribe would arrive.
For Dean McKenzie, it was also time to reap his rewards, hence, he emerged from the Land of Bone, ready to receive his temtes and temtes!
However, when Dean McKenzie came out of the Land of Bone, what was presented to him was not the corpse of a BOSS with a Perfect Quality Temte, nor was it the second batch of temtes.
Instead, it was a piece of distressing news that greatly upset Dean McKenzie.
The short old man from the Giant Serpent Tribe was waiting outside his room early in the morning, and as soon as he saw Dean McKenziee out, he immediately came up to him for help: ¡°Mr. Lee, you must help us. Our leader was ambushed on their way back from transporting your goods, and the goods they brought back were robbed. Our tribe leader has also gone missing!¡±
Hearing this news, Dean McKenzie, who had been in a good mood, his face darkened instantly.
Request for monthly pass!
Chapter 241 - I have 10 more skeletons like 164.
I have 10 more skeletons like 164.
Trantor: 549690339
So far, Dean McKenzie was quite satisfied with Carney as a cooperative merchant.
Thus, he took any issues rted to Carney seriously.
His first response was to talk to the old man and understand the situation.
Once he confirmed that Carney¡¯s group was ambushed about half a day¡¯s journey, fifty kilometers from the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean immediately sent Old Eight to investigate.
He asked the old man to guide Old Eight.
Previous experiences in the Goblin Uprising Instance had allowed Old Eight and his ilk to move within a five-kilometer radius of Dean when they were at the first or second-turn.
Now, with the ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± reaching level 10, and Old Eight¡¯s strength upgrading to level 120, their range of movement had greatly expanded. While Dean hadn¡¯t tested the extreme limit yet, he felt that there shouldn¡¯t be any issues within a hundred kilometers.
While Old Eight was conducting his investigation, Dean wasn¡¯t twiddling his thumbs either.
Firstly, he collected all the corpses and temtes amassed by the Giant Serpent Tribe over the past 10 days.
The efficiency of the Giant Serpent Tribe was quitemendable.
Within 10 days, they had gathered 33 perfect quality corpses.
In terms of temtes, they assembled 2000 elite temtes and 200 excellent ones.
Moreover, it was rumored that the batch of goods currently being robbed from Carney¡¯s group included an additional 5000 elite temtes, 300 excellent temtes, and 12 rare temtes.
The number of perfect quality corpses swelled to a staggering 72.
This stirred a deeper sense of resentment in Dean towards the unknown group of bandits.
¡°Damn it, this is causing nothing but dys for me!¡±
Despite cursing, Dean was quick to act. He summoned Doggy Two to help move the corpses into the Land of Bone.
Bringing back 33 third-turn perfect quality corpses cost Dean around 2100 gold coins.
The price was a bit higher than he had expected.
After reviving these corpses, Dean first checked their attributes.
He wanted to know whether any of them had traits suitable for him or his skeletons.
However, after looking over some of the 33 corpses, Dean found the traits to be rather generic.
They mostly had traits like ¡°Defense Strengthen¡± and ¡°Attack Enhancement¡±, with none possessing the ¡°Armor Break¡± that Dean desired, let alone the ¡°Actual Attack.¡±
As a result, Dean instantly killed the 33 just-revived perfect quality wraiths and extracted 11 perfect quality temtes from them.
Dean first used four of these on himself.
[You used 4 Perfect Quality Temtes. Your Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit obtained Perfect Quality Temtes!]
[Your Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit all increased by 1000 points!]
[Your attribute traits [Mental Fortitude] [Swift as Wind] [Strength Enhancement] [Enhanced Physique] upgraded to B-grade!]
Four Perfect Quality Temtes allowed Dean to upgrade four attributes, boosting them by 4000 points in total.
But that wasn¡¯t the end of it.
Being at level 4 Talent, and with Perfect Quality Temtes, the maximum attribute points by level 10 was 1200. This was double the number from the previous rare, an increase of 600 points.
This meant that Dean could add 5400 points to his four-dimensional attribute.
Once Dean had added all of these up, his attributes became:
Strength: 76,324, Agility: 80,034, Physique: 74,316, Spirit: 109,962
Magic Strength: 1,077,620
Mana: 5,356,100
With such attributes, Dean would be able to dominate those at the fifth-turn.
Even though it isn¡¯t quite as high as that of the sixth-turn, remember that
Dean was currently at the fourth-turn!
Dean felt like he was soaring on the road to being a digital monster, unstoppable even if he wanted to.
Even if he stopped strengthening himself now, the five-turn increase of 5 times and another six-turn increase of 5 times.
Dean¡¯s attributes would reach an incredibly exaggerated degree.
¡°By then, my spiritual power would be at least 2.7 million. I¡¯d truly be a digital monster. I wonder if that level of data can overturn seventh-turn.
No, why do I always go there, why do I have to overturn the seventh-turn? Can¡¯t I just crush the opponent at the same level or maybe one level higher? Don¡¯t fight a battle unless you¡¯re confident of winning!¡±
Yeah, Dean was thoroughly scared after being beaten up in Spring City. He felt that reversing wasn¡¯t cool at all. Having absolute strength and crushing your enemy felt much morefortable.
Afterpleting the quality upgrade and attribute assignment, Dean examined the two traits in his attributes that he paid the most attention to.
Trait: Mental Fortitude (B-grade) (Provides defense fixed at three times your
Spirit. Mental attacks below this value will have no effect on you, and those above the value will be reduced by 70%
PS: Mental Attacks exceeding ten times the upper limit of your spiritual power will ignore this trait!)
Enhanced Physique (B-grade) (Increases physique effectiveness by 300%, and enhances life recovery by 3000%.
Can be actively activated to rapidly recover injuries. As long as vital parts are notpletely destroyed, you can quickly recover. (Twice a day)
Dean was quite pleased with the effects of these two traits.
The former elevated Dean¡¯s spiritual defense to over 1.3 million.
Thetter significantly enhanced Dean¡¯s vitality.
As long as the fourth-turn defense is in ce, it would be difficult for Dean to be injured, but if he were injured, it might not be salvageable.
However, the existence orck thereof is one thing, whether it could be used was another matter.
In short, with this mechanism in ce, Dean felt at ease.
¡°Right, after the fourth-turn, this thing should be able to be further strengthened, right?¡±
As he spoke, Dean pulled out a sword out of nowhere.
That sword was none other than the [Holy Light Sword]!
Chapter 242 - I have 10 more skeletons like 164.
I have 10 more skeletons like 164.
Trantor: 549690339
Equipment: Holy Light Sword
Quality: Gold
Level: Level 80
Effectl: Holy Light Judgment Level +1
Effect2: Holy Light Judgment effect increased by too percent
Effect?¡¯ For each evil target killed that¡¯s one turn higher than the user, the user¡¯s all attributes increase by one ten-thousandth, simultaneously increasing the next strike of Holy Light Judgment between one percent and twenty-five percent. (This effectsts for 30 days and is cleared if a second target is not killed)
Current Attribute Increase: One percent all attributes
Current increase of next strike of Holy Light Judgment skill effect: One
thousand percent
Estimated effect removal time: 12 days
Thest time Dean McKenzie had enhanced this Holy Light Sword to this extent, he could no longer enhance it further.
Mainly because Dean, who was only at the third turn at the time, couldn¡¯t handle the dense holy light of the Holy Light Sword.
Now, though, Dean¡¯s physique is as high as 74,000. The Holy Light from the Holy Light Sword barely makes him break a sweat, thanks to the effect of his Enhanced Physique trait.
So, Dean proceeded to continue enhancing the Holy Light Sword.
Anyway, if there¡¯s one thing Dean has plenty of, it¡¯s skeletons.
Dean uses fifth-turn skeletons to feed the sword, each time increasing 0.01% of attributes and 25% of the next strike skill effect.
In one breath, Dean sacrificed 100 fifth-turn skeletons, bringing the additional attributes of the Holy Light Sword to¡
Current Attribute Increase: Two percent all attributes
Current increase of next strike of Holy Light Judgment skill effect: Three
thousand five hundred percent
Estimated effect removal time: 30 days
Meanwhile, the holy light on the Holy Light Sword was bing more intense, causing a certain degree of damage to Dean.
Additionally, Dean felt that the enhancement of the Holy Light Sword seemed
to be reaching its limit soon.
¡°Let¡¯s see where your limits are!¡±
Dean said and sacrificed another 300 fifth-turn skeletons in one breath.
At this point, Dean distinctly felt that the Holy Light Sword had reached its limit.
The shining holy light from the Holy Light Sword had produced a decidedly intense burn on Dean.
Dean could feel the pain, seeing his skin bubbling.
At the same time, Dean was also keenly aware that his Holy Light Resistance trait was increasing further.
If this progress continued, Dean felt that his holy light trait would be able to be enhanced to C-level in a few days.
In addition, Dean clearly felt that although the Holy Light Sword in his hand
had indeed reached its limit.
But it does not seem to be unable to be enhanced further.
If Dean was willing, it seemed that it could continue to be enhanced. However, if Dean continued to enhance, the shackles of the Holy Light Sword would be broken.
This would lead to two consequences: one, the Holy Light Sword would not be able to maintain its power for a long period of time. The other, once the strike is made, the sword would copse.
That is to say, if the Holy Light Sword continued to be enhanced, it would be a one-time consumable.
That¡¯s the downside, the upside is, once its shackles arepletely freed, it will have no upper limit for a while.
No one knows what a sword with no upper limit can be enhanced into. Dean was looking forward to it, but he did not start enhancing immediately. Because he knew that once he started enhancing, this sword would basically be at its end.
Therefore, unless necessary when facing a strong enemy, Dean would not continue to enhance this sword.
Afterpleting the enhancement of the Holy Light Sword, Dean¡¯s gaze fell on the remaining seven temtes.
At the same time, he pulled out the Weak Bone Dragon Temte.
He tried to use Skeleton Summoning to summon the bone dragon.
It failed!
The skill information gave Dean feedback that it summons skeletons, not bone dragons!
¡°Can¡¯t bone dragons be summoned?¡±
Dean¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly: ¡°Then why not try tobine the Weak Bone Dragon Temte and the Skeleton Knight Temte to see if we can make a Bone Dragon Knight Temte?¡±
Dean¡¯s idea was indeed bold.
But it still ended in failure!
Feedback from the skill, coupled with the inheritance Dean received from Crohn, told him that it was possible to summon bone dragons, but not throug
Skeleton Summoning.
As for this, Dean felt aggrieved: ¡°What do you mean, ¡®can¡¯t summon through Skeleton Summoning¡¯?
Others may not be able to, but my Skeleton Summoning definitely can. Even if it can¡¯t now, I can enhance itter and it definitely will!¡±
After finishing, Dean touched his pocket and could only give up on enhancing Skeleton Summoning.
¡°Let¡¯s leave it for now, and try again when I have moneyter. Also, my Skeleton Summoning may not necessarily need to be merged with Skeleton
Domination!¡±
Through Crohn¡¯s inheritance, he knew that the fifth-turn Wraith Controller has a Skeleton Giant Summoning skill, which can summon a bone dragon through a medium when it¡¯s promoted to the high level.
¡°Maybe I will merge Skeleton Summoning and Skeleton Giant Summoning when I reach the fifth turn!¡±
While Dean was pondering this, he didn¡¯t waste the remaining seven Perfect Quality Temtes in his hand. He summoned seven 120-level Perfect Qua ity Skeleton Giant Warriors using the Skeleton Giant Temte.
Just as Deanpleted the summoning of seven Skeleton Giant Warriors, a system prompt appeared before his eyes..

The refreshed system prompt made Dean McKenzie, who was inspecting the attributes of the Skeleton Giant Warrior, furrow his brows deeply.
Meanwhile, a few minutes earlier, in a forest more than fifty kilometers away from the Giant Serpent Tribe.
After receiving orders from Dean McKenzie, Old Eight, under the guidance of a diminutive old man from the Giant Serpent Tribe, arrived within the forest in about half an hour.
¡°This is it, chief and the others encountered the ambush here!¡±
Just as the diminutive old man was speaking, Old Eight saw the obvious signs of the battles that had taken ce in the forest and quickly moved closer to inspect.
Old Eight had just approached when the old man behind him suddenly changed his expression dramatically, grabbing a scroll from his chest and casting it onto Old Eight.
At the same time, several beams of bright light suddenly erupted around them, illuminating the forest like it was daytime.
Whether it was the scroll cast onto Old Eight or the white light that erupted around them, their goal was singr ¨C to prevent Old Eight from bing invisible.
From their actions, it was clear they were somewhat prepared for this day.
But sometimes, preparation isn¡¯t enough. Strength is also required!
Their preparations seemed insufficient to restrain a perfect-quality assassin.
Especially one whose skills are of an enhanced version.
While they were busy making their move, they noticed that Old Eight had disappeared.
Someone in the forest whispered, ¡°He¡¯s stealthed. Be careful of a sneak attack!¡±
No sooner had the voice finished speaking when a figure dropped from the tree above.
Then another, and another, and another!
With his eight-level Strong Stealth skill reducing the cooldown to about a minute, Old Eight wielded it masterfully, staying invisible almost continuously, striking once every minute, and each strike guaranteed fatal.
Like an incarnation of the Grim Reaper lurking in the darkness.
Hence, a great deal of pressure was exerted on everyone around him, especially the short old man who brought Old Eight here, who was now sweating profusely.
Deep in the forest, four burly figures watched the scene unfold.
Seeing his men dying one by one, the leader of the group could not help but say, ¡°We can¡¯t let this go on. If we¡¯re not careful, this little rat might get away, Victor!¡±
¡°Leave it to me!¡±
A deep voice echoed as the most robust figure among the group sprang out, leaping towards Old Eight.
In the middle of the jump, the barbarian, Victor, roared towards Old Eight, ¡°Come at me!¡±
Simultaneously, the Six-turn Warrior turned Great Martial Master, of Barbarian ss, activated his Forced Taunt Roar!
This skillnded right on Old Eight¡¯s weak point as Old Eight could not withstand the taunt and was pulled directly towards him, revealing his hidden state.
Seeing Old Eight in his unstealthed state, a vicious and brutal expression surfaced on Victor¡¯s face.
¡°You killed so many of our warriors, now die for me!¡±
As he roared, Victor descended like a mountain, unleashing the level five skill ¡®Shock Crush Attack¡¯ of the Great Martial Master, whichnded right on Old Eight!
¡°Boom!¡±
The impact of the strike turned the surrounding ten meters of forest into ruins, creating a big pit a few meters deep, with explosion debris and dust scattering all over the ce.
Seeing this spectacle, those three back in the forest all smiled cruelly and delightedly, except for the leader, whose facial expression changed.
¡°That¡¯s not good; it¡¯s not dead, be careful!¡±
Almost at the same time on Victor¡¯s side, he noticed something, his Shock Crush failed to crush the skeleton.
Not only that, but the opponent also broke free from the taunt state right after being hit and charged at him.
In a blink of an eye, Old Eight circled to Victor¡¯s back, his dagger aimed at his neck.
To this, Victor felt disdainful.
He raised both his arms, muscles bulging all over his body, turning him silver. The defense of the beast hide equipment he was wearing also activated.
Within a split second, Victor increased his base defense to 2.8 million, with energy defense reaching near io million.
Victor didn¡¯t think that a mere Level Five Assassin could breach his defense.
Even if his defense was broken, Victor was not afraid. After all, how much attack power could a Level Five Assassin have after breaking his defense?
There was surely no chance that his head could be chopped off, right?
Then!
¡°Ssh!¡±
A muffled sound resonated as Old Eight¡¯s Ghost de cut through,pletely ignoring Victor¡¯s 10 million energy defense and the 2.8 million base defense. With a casual flick of his wrist, the de cut down Victor¡¯s soul.
As Victor¡¯s soul was chopped down with a single cut, the head of this Six-turn Warrior also fell to the ground.
This all happened so fast.
Within a moment, Victor failed to crush Old Eight, and his head was chopped off.
The speed was so swift that the remaining three had no time to intervene.
The burly man who led the three-man team and was only a few dozen meters away from them witnessed his trusted aide being killed, and his killing intent could no longer be suppressed!
¡°Die for me!¡±
With a roar, the barbarian charged forward, instantly appearing before Old Eight, and violently smashed his Wolf Tooth Club down.
Old Eight was instantly shattered into pieces.
Watching as he smashed Old Eight to pieces, the man¡¯s rage had not subsided as he continued to strike, pulverizing Old Eight¡¯s body until it merged with the ground. Only then did the attack stop. He turned his head and red viciously at the trembling old man of the Giant Serpent tribe..

The undisguised killing intent made the old man kneel on the spot.
¡°Don¡¯t kill me, Mr. Caleb, don¡¯t kill me. I had no idea that kid¡¯s skeleton is so powerful!
I thought it was just a Fifth-turn skeleton. Your side should be able to capture it without issue, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be stronger than Victor¡¡±
¡°Pfft!¡±
The old man was very articte, and his words only served to rekindle the wrath that had already subsided within Caleb. The Wolf Tooth Club in Caleb¡¯s hand came swinging down with force.
Luckily Caleb was still in his right mind; he didn¡¯t strike the old man, but mmed the club right next to him. Had hended that blow on the elderly man, thetter wouldn¡¯t have survived.
To Caleb, the old man must live; he¡¯s still of use!
Despite the fact that the club didn¡¯t kill the old man, the shockwave it issued made all his bones rattle. The old man was left dizzy, with half his body numb and his face paler than ever.
Once Caleb was done with this act, he grabbed the old man in a swift move. ¡°Where¡¯s the kid? Why is there only this one skeleton?¡±
¡°That kid is very cautious; despite my persuasions, he just wouldn¡¯t risking here himself. However, rest assured, his real power only ranks at Third-turn. The formidable one is this skeleton.
If you can take down this skeleton, the kid will be no threat at all!
You can easily defeat him, and his wealth will be all yours. Just thest time, on a sale of a few thousand gold coin¡¯s worth temte, he casually paid 50 purple gold coins. He must have at least a thousand purple gold coins on him¡¡±
¡°Even a hundred gold coins would mean I am at loss here!¡±
Caleb angrily grinded his teeth.
After all, he had lost a Six-turn general of perfect quality in the altercation.
The truth was, his original target had never been Dean McKenzie, but the Giant Serpent Tribe all along.
He took action against Dean McKenzie only because this old man, in a bid to save his life, had spilled the beans to Caleb.
Hearing about a Third-turn necromancer carrying arge amount of purple gold coins, Caleb thought of him as a walking wallet.
He needed money for the trade fair of the Giant Bear Tribe next time, and such an opportunity to acquire it presented itself¡ªthe decision to act was easy.
But little did he know, before he even met the kid, one of his trusted Six-turn subordinates would die ¨C which greatly saddened Caleb.
¡°You better pray that he has plenty of purple gold coins, otherwise I will make sure you meet your leader!¡±
With that, Caleb casually tossed the old man on the ground.
The old man climbed up, sparing a careful grin, ¡°Please wait a moment, I will surely lure that kid here for you this time!¡±
(¡°No need, this skeleton is already dead, that guy is probably on his guard already. He won¡¯te out for sure, and he might even run away. We should just go straight to the Giant Serpent Tribe!¡±
The moment Caleb¡¯s words hit the elderly man¡¯s ears, his face changed.
¡°You intend to attack the Giant Serpent Tribe?
No, absolutely not!
That¡¯s my tribe, and the ce that nurtured me!¡±
¡°Does a person like you who sold their own leader for fear of death and survival still care about all this?¡±
¡°No!¡±
The old man flushed, ¡°I mean, you will be in a lot of trouble if you do something to the Giant Serpent Tribe and the Giant Bear Tribe finds out!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that¡¯s why I kept you alive!
When we are done, you can always report to the Giant Bear Tribe that it was the work of the passing Alliance bandits!
Let¡¯s go!
That skeleton has already been killed. If we don¡¯t move fast, that Alliance kid might run away, and I will then skin you¡
Before Caleb could finish his sentence, Dean McKenzie¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t run away¡ªI will even kindly offer you my head.
As for skinning this old man, I suggest you start now!¡±
Caleb tilted his head and looked up.
The next second, Dean¡¯s silhouette descended from the sky.
Seeing Deannd, Caleb narrowed his eyes.
¡°You dared toe, which suggests that your power is not as simple as this old man puts it.
Wait, I sense another force on you, seems like you have more than one skeleton of that type!
No wonder you dared toe!
However, do you really think you can withstand me with just a few skeletons like that?
I must say, you are truly naive!¡±
A grin spread across Dean¡¯s face, ¡°Who told you that I have only a few of that type of skeletons?¡±
As he spoke, Dean casually snapped his fingers.
The Gate of Bone opened behind him.
Old Two, Old Four, Old Six, Old Seven, and Old Nine, along with seven newly summoned Skeleton Giant warriors emerged.
At the same time, the surrounding woods erupted with the sound of ttering bones.
Hundreds of Skeleton Knights emerged, forming a perfect enclosure around them.
Seeing this scene, Caleb, who originally held the winning ticket, his face sank instantly¡

In a small grove 50 miles away from the Giant Serpent Tribe!
As the figures of Doggy Two and his group appeared beside Dean McKenzie, Skeleton Knights swarmed in from all around the woods.
Caleb finally realized the seriousness of the predicament he hadnded himself into.
But it was already toote!
¡°Charge!¡±
Upon Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, his skeletons immediately attacked.
Old Seven took the lead, charging fearlessly straight towards one of the two Six-turn Warriors standing beside Caleb.
Old Nine was quick to react too, turning his head to swiftly draw his bow and activate Death Arrow, shooting it straight at the other warrior.
Luck would have it, his shot turned out to be a Lucky Strike, multiplying the damage dealt by 35 times.
Dean McKenzie promptly cast a Slow Curse and a Lower Resistance on that barbarian warrior.
Consequently, the enemy was confined to his ce on the spot.
The arrow pierced right through him.
[You have sessfully in a level 140 Rare Quality Warrior from the Giant Lizard Tribe, raising your level to 83!]
Meanwhile, Old Seven¡¯s attacknded on another barbarian warrior.
The spear in his hand pierced right through the enemy¡¯s body!
Although Old Seven had speared through the warrior, he was still holding on to life tenaciously. Swinging down his four-meter-long sword with a vengeance, he caught Old Seven by surprise, forcing him to retreat and leave his spear behind!
Observing this, Dean McKenzie shook his head.
Old Seven¡¯s strength was not negligible. Among Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeletons, he had the highest base attribute due to the double increment after he had in 100 pdins.
On top of having a Perfect Quality that could grant 1200 Attribute pts every 10 levels.
Additionally, coupled with the five-fold increase from the Fourth-turn to the Fifth-turn, Old Seven¡¯s attributes had reached:
Strength: 139990, Agility: 10900, Physique: 122545, Spirit: 111545
Attack: 679950
Defense: 401636
Spirit Power: 2.5 million
These stats were definitely of the Six-turn level!
They were no less impressive than those of Benedict Holt.
However, Old Seven¡¯s main problem was hisck of powerful offense skills. Fearless Charge, after all, was a non-enhanced Fourth-turn skill. It might work against weaker opponents, but it did pose a challenge when facing a Six-turn enemy.
If he failed to take down the opponent in one go, he wound up being on the receiving end of an attack!
Observing Old Seven being put in such an awkward position, Dean McKenzie maintained,
¡± It appears that I should consider enhancing Old Seven¡¯s skills ¡±
While thinking this through, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t stay idle; he sent three Skeleton Giant Warriors on the offensive!
The attributes of a Perfect Quality Skeleton Giant Warrior were vastly different from those of a Rare Quality Skeleton Giant Soldier.
Name: Skeleton Giant Warrior
Temte: Perfect
Level: Level 120
Traits: Strength of the Giant (B-grade) (Passive: Grants an additional 150
Strength for every level up to level 120, every point of Strength further increases Attack by to)
Giant¡¯s Bones (B-grade) (Passive: Grants an additional 150 Physique for every level up to level 120, every point of Physique further increases Defense by 10)
Attributes:
Strength: 180,000, Agility: 8000, Physique: 180,000, Spirit: 15
Attack: 2.7 million
Defense: 2.7 million
Spirit Power: 1.25 million
Skills: Charge (level 9)
One-turn: Giant Trampling (level 9)
Second-turn: Giant Hammer (level 4)
Third-turn: Giant Whirlwind (level 3)
Included Equipment: Skeleton Battle Armor (Silver) (level 120), Skeleton Battle Hammer (Silver) (level 120)
In a way, these attributes were even more terrifying than Old Seven¡¯s. Although theycked good skills, their basic attack was exceptionally high.
Additionally, with Dean McKenzie¡¯s three hundred percent enhancement of his skeletons and Doggy Two¡¯s King of Bones Enhancement,
the attributes instantly quadrupled, with the basic damage exceeding ten million.
No wait, it couldn¡¯t surpass ten million, it could only reach around six point seven million.
Because the specific attribute enhancement limit under Skeleton Command is 1.3 million, and Attack and Defense are included in this, so the Attack and Defense of Skeleton Giant Warriors under Skeleton Command can only be increased by 1.3 million.
On the other hand, Doggy Two¡¯s King of Bones can directly increase basic attributes by one hundred percent, so the Attack and Defense of Skeleton Giant Warriors can reach up to six point seven million.
Nevertheless, this was still terrifying.
With such abination of warriors attacking a single barbarian warrior, that barbarian warrior simply couldn¡¯t withstand it.
He was knocked down in just a few moves.
[You have sessfully in a level 140 Rare Quality Warrior from the Giant Lizard Tribe, raising your level to 84!]
Within just two to three minutes, Caleb¡¯s two Six-turn warriors were down and out.
Meanwhile, under the assault of Skeleton Knights, the lifeforce of the barbarian warriors brought by Caleb was being mercilessly reaped.
At this rate, their total annihtion was inevitable.
However, at that moment, Caleb didn¡¯t have the bandwidth to worry about that.
As leader of this group, how could Dean McKenzie overlook him?
As he engaged Caleb¡¯s two subordinates, Dean McKenzie unleashed the remaining four Skeleton Giant Warriors, directing them straight at Caleb. These four Skeleton Giant Warriors lifted their giant hammers in unison and swung them down, releasing four simultaneous Giant Hammer attacks! Giant Hammer (level 4) (Consumes 50,000 Spirit Power, Deals damage equivalent to Strength plus Attack multiplied by 3 [Peak additional 5 million]) The intensity of an unenhanced skill has its limits.
Nheless, an attack supplemented by an additional 5 million Attack could easily surpass the ten million mark.
The simultaneous release of four of these was utterly terrifying.
Terrifyingly enough that Caleb didn¡¯t dare face it head-on. Dodging the attack, he looked for opportunities to retreat.
Just as Caleb managed to dodge it, the four Skeleton Giant Warriorsunched their Giant Trampling, which constricted his movements, slowing him down even though it didn¡¯t cause him any harm..

However, Caleb reacted quickly. A light shone around him, and he instantly dispelled the negative effect of [Giant Trampling], He turned to run again, but Old Six¡¯s spectral hand reached out and restrained him once again.
Caleb gritted his teeth and burst out in anger, breaking free from the spectral hand¡¯s grip.
He seized the opportunity and tried to escape before the entrapment formation could materialize..
The will to fight had clearly left him.
He just wanted to run!
But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t give him a chance!
Another Slow Curse was cast on him, forcing him to stay on the spot under penalty for 3 seconds.
By the time he finally broke free from the penalty, he was surrounded by four skeleton giant warriors, with Old Six and Old Two also ring at him eagerly. Seeing this, Caleb¡¯s countenance fell. He looked back at Dean McKenzie and said, ¡°Mr Lee, I admit my earlier remarks were slightly impolite, and it was wrong for me to attack you. Could you possibly let me go?
I am willing topensate you!¡±
At this moment, Caleb¡¯s attitude pulled aplete 180.
But to his submission, Dean McKenzie just responded with a coldugh. ¡°Ah, begging for mercy now, are we? But to be honest, I actually prefer your earlier defiant attitude. Could you maybe muster up some of that again?¡± On hearing Dean¡¯s words and feeling the killing intent in his tone Caleb Changed his demeanor instantly, ¡°Kid from the Alliance, I suggest you hear me out on thepensation I offer.
We of the Giant Lizard Tribe have arge number of Wraith Temtes, which I can give you all.
I can also give you 200,000 gold coins, and a piece of Inheritance Equipment of a Necromancer.
Mypensation is very sincere. You haven¡¯t really suffered much loss I suggest you ept the deal!
Otherwise, once I start fighting seriously, it won¡¯t be easy for you either!¡± ¡°Wait a minute, I tell you to revert to your old self and you do?
You did even more than reverting; you¡¯re now even cockier than before I absolutely can¡¯t let you off now!
Take him down!¡±
With a wave of Dean¡¯s hand, his skeleton giant warriors moved again, heading once again for Caleb.
Across from them, Caleb watched the approaching skeleton giant warriors and coldly shook his head: ¡±You¡¯ve made a very foolish decision. I had no intention o fighting with you. But since you insist on doing so, I will have to fight and fight to the death!¡±
As he spoke, his bronze-tinged skin broke out in mysterious blood-red runes Following this, a horrifying aura erupted from him, as though a terror from the primal wilderness was unleashed.
At the same time, arge shadow of a lizard appeared behind him from out of nowhere.
Upon seeing this, Dean threw out an Appraisal Skill without hesitation. [Your Appraisal Skill was sessful on [Caleb], you obtained part of his attributes and weak points!]
Name: Caleb (Leader of the Giant Lizard Tribe)
Temte: Heir of the Giant Lizard Power (Perfect/Extraordinary) Trait: Armor Break (B) (65% Armor Break Damage on every attack) Inheritance Traits: Giant Lizard Power (A) (Needs to burn blood to activate once activated, life enters a countdown, but increases character¡¯s attributes by 600%, attack increased by 50 and defense increased by 50) Current Status: Giant Lizard Bloodline Activation in progress, only 5 minutes or life remaining
Current Attributes:
strength: 1.2 million, Agility: 120 thousand, Physique: 1.1 million, Spirit-12 thousand
Attack: 30 million
Defense: 27.5 million
Skills: Unmentioned
Weak Point: 1
Nearly at the same time Dean saw these attributes, the skeleton giants had alreadyunched their attack on Caleb.
¡°Puff!¡±
An attack of tens of millions hit Caleb but didn¡¯t seem to affect him at all He swung his Wolf Tooth Club casually.
It was a very casual sweep.
¡°Bang!¡± *4
The four surrounding skeleton giant warriors were instantly blown apart.
Following this, Caleb stomped his foot on the ground, shot towards Dean like a cannonball at an incredibly fast speed. However, as fast as Caleb was, Dean was faster!
The moment he started moving, Dean took off into the sky.
This left Caleb, who had lunged at Dean, surprised.
¡°Caught off-guard huh? I can fly!¡±
Caleb¡¯s face darkened. He gathered his strength and jumped, thrusting himself hundreds of meters into the air with his millions of strength.
But it was no use; his movements were too stiff. Dean easily dodged him, and Caleb couldn¡¯tnd a hit on him at all.
On the contrary, Dean¡¯s Bone Fang spear could easily hit Caleb.
For the first time, Dean was experiencing the thrill of overpowering someone with his maneuverability, just like the ck Dragon Hatchling did!
However, unlike him, Caleb didn¡¯t go head-to-head with Dean. As soon as he saw he was at a disadvantage, he tried to run!
But as soon as hended, Doggy Two rushed up, Bone Throne ready in hand!
His Bone Eruption skill activated simultaneously. Wielding the Dragon Bone Sword and carrying the Bone Throne, he charged forward.
The Bone Throne made Caleb momentarily dizzy, but he quickly recovered seeing Doggy Two charging at him, he ruthlessly swung down his Wolf Tooth Club!
¡°Scram!¡±
With one strike, Doggy Two was sent flying away.
But as he sent Doggy Two flying, Old Eight charged towards him.
The three skeleton giants from behind also joined in the assault.
At the same time, Dean cast another Slow Curse from above, forcing Caleb to stand still under penalty, trapping him in the circle of skeleton warriors..

Seeing his plight, Caleb exploded in rage: ¡°Won¡¯t let me go, huh? Then I¡¯ll smash all these skeletons of yours to bits!¡±
As he spoke, the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand danced wildly in the air.
He was not using any specific skill, there was no need, with his attack of three hundred million right there. Without any enhanced skills, any skill amplification has its limit, adding any would not match up to his regr attack.
And indeed, the reality proved just that.
Under his wildly output regr attack, the skeletons blocking his path were all smashed to bits in less than two minutes.
Before him, all the skeletons in Dean McKenzie¡¯smand were vulnerable, and none of their attacks had any effect on him.
Even when Old Nine¡¯s Death Arrow caused quintuple damage, hitting Caleb had little to no effect.
Undoubtedly, the rival¡¯s life-risking outburst made hisbat strength reach an immensely daunting extent.
Dean McKenzie suspected that his strength had reached the Seven-Turn level.
Of course, the cost for such an outburst was hefty.
If he doesn¡¯t stop, he wouldn¡¯t be left with more than three minutes to live.
Even so, Caleb felt that he could afford this sacrifice.
Looking at the scattered bones, Caleb felt a wave of satisfaction.
He felt that although the cost for him was great, Dean McKenzie¡¯s wasn¡¯t small either.
With all those skeletons gone, Dean McKenzie, the necromancer, was nearly rendered useless.
After all, training such an army of skeletons would undoubtedly require a significant amount of time and cost.
Before leaving, Caleb couldn¡¯t resist addressing Dean McKenzie: ¡°Kid, I already told you not to push me, but you didn¡¯t believe me. Are you satisfied now?¡± With this army of skeletons dead, you¡¯ve wasted ten to twenty years of your time.
Next time we meet, I will make your life worse than death!
Dean McKenzie in the sky had a cold smile: ¡°As for meeting again, there¡¯s no need for that. You won¡¯t get another chance!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Almost at the same time as Dean McKenzie finished speaking, a figure rammed into Caleb.
It sent Caleb flying.
It was Doggy Two!
Doggy Two didn¡¯t die from Caleb¡¯s earlier attack. Instead, its attributes had increased a great deal at this moment.
Doggy Two, the king of bones, has a trait: for every ten skeletons sacrificed, a one percent increase in all attributes urs.
Caleb had just killed five hundred skeletons, triggering this effect, which increased Doggy Two¡¯s attributes by fifty percent.
Despite the fifty percent increase in all attributes, Doggy Two was still inferior to Caleb.
Its attack was a shameless surprise.
But surprise attacking one who is superior in all aspects would just end up in a crushing defeat.
Caleb swiftly stood firm, the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand mercilessly bashed into Doggy Two¡¯s forehead, his three-hundred-million attack burst intending to take Doggy Two out in one go.
Yet, after the attack, Doggy Two was still fighting fit.
Because Doggy Two was wrapped in Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield.
In front of the perfect quality Damage Negating Guardian Shield, Caleb¡¯s Armor Breaking trait was ineffective.
The three-hundred-million attack on Doggy Two was first reduced by ny-five percent, leaving only fifteen million.
Then the Guardian Shield eliminated thirty-three percent of it and nearly ten million was reduced by the set defense, leaving little damage on Doggy Two.
Doggy Two could even further reduce sixty-five percent of the damage. In other words, Doggy Two was wrapped in severalyers of shields, leaving the final damage virtually non-existent.
Moreover, although Doggy Two¡¯s other attributes were still falling behind Caleb, its agility was on-point. With defense and agility, it firmly held onto Caleb and didn¡¯t let go.
Now, Caleb was totally dumbfounded.
He didn¡¯t have time to drag things out with Doggy Two. If he couldn¡¯t defeat Doggy Two within three minutes, his doom was certain.
So, he rampantly attacked with the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand, causing the surrounding ground to shake violently.
But no matter how hard he hit, Doggy Two stood firm.
In the end, seeing that things weren¡¯t going his way, he directly grabbed Doggy Two intending to fling it into the air and strike it with the Wolf Tooth Club.
But Doggy Two didn¡¯t give him a chance. As soon as Caleb¡¯s hand reached out, Doggy Two held onto his hand and wouldn¡¯t let go.
At this point, Caleb was driven to madness.
He attacked Doggy Two with all his might, but in the end, he still couldn¡¯t get rid of Doggy Two.
Seeing this, Caleb gritted his teeth. Thinking that Dean McKenzie only had Doggy Two left, he didn¡¯t need to press harder.
So, he retracted his forged state, his energy instantly weakened, returning to the normal Six-turn Peak level.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face, and he came down from the sky.
¡°Finally giving up the resistance?¡±
¡°Give up resisting?
What are you thinking about?
Yes, I¡¯m weaker now. But it doesn¡¯t mean that you can take me down easily.
Don¡¯t forget, you only have this one¡¡±
¡°Who told you that I only have this one skeleton left?¡±
Dean McKenzie cut off Caleb¡¯s words with a grin and at the same time snapped his fingers.
With his snap, the trait of the Dominant Skeleton, ¡®Undying¡¯, was activated! The extraordinary trait showcased an extraordinarily terrifying effect! Immediately, the scattered bone pieces on the ground, no matter how shattered they were, or even if there were no bone fragments left, were resurrected at that moment..

In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred skeletons rose to their feet.
This abrupt developmentpletely shattered Caleb¡¯s beliefs, he had never imagined he would witness something so oundish.
They were clearly dead, yet they came back to life.
Now, despair entirely enveloped Caleb.
At the same time, Old Eight appeared behind Caleb, his dagger drawing a line across Caleb¡¯s neck.
With a ¡®plop¡¯ sound, Caleb¡¯s head was chopped off.
[You sessfully killed ¡°Caleb¡± (Level 140) (Perfect). Your level has increased to 85. You have received one extra Grant Quota. Remaining extra Grant Quotas: 6!]
As the system notification refreshed, basically all the members of the Giant Lizard Tribe led by Caleb had been taken down by Dean McKenzie.
However, not everyone from the Giant Lizard Tribe was killed by Dean McKenzie. He did spare several individuals to serve as informants, one of those being the small, old man from the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Through these people, Dean McKenzie was able to piece together the series of events.
The reason why the Giant Serpent Tribe and Dean McKenzie were targeted by the Giant Lizard Tribe was partly due to the former¡¯s recent activity.
On the other hand, it was also because of the rumours that at the next trade event of the Giant Bear Tribe, a ¡°Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll¡± and an ¡°Excellent Talent Stone¡± would be avable.
In order to gather funds to purchase these two items, Caleb had been fervently stirring up trouble, making the Giant Serpent Tribe and Dean McKenzie his targets.
Initially, Dean McKenzie did not have much interest in the trade event of the Giant Bear Tribe. However, after hearing about the ¡°Excellent Talent Stone¡± that would be avable, his interest was piqued.
Intuition told Dean McKenzie that this item was definitely the one needed to upgrade his talent.
Obtaining it beforehand would definitely be a good thing for him.
Moreover, he may also get his hands on enough ¡°High-Quality Talent Stones¡± to raise his talent level to 5!
¡°Looks like I have to visit this trade event after all!
As for now, I should head to the Giant Lizard Tribe first!¡±
Based on the information Dean McKenzie held, the items taken from the Giant Serpent Tribe by Caleb had been already been delivered to the Giant Lizard Tribe.
Of course, Dean McKenzie would definitely retrieve his belongings.
On another note, Carney was also being held captive by the Giant Lizard Tribe. Despite Carney¡¯s slightly inferior abilities, Dean McKenzie valued this partner greatly.
Carney¡¯s performance during this period was quite satisfactory to Dean McKenzie. Having such a strategic partner could alleviate much stress, so if possible, Dean McKenzie would want to keep him safe.
Yet another crucial reason was that Dean McKenzie had set his sights on something owned by the Giant Lizard Tribe.
While reviewing Caleb¡¯s trait named ¡°Giant Lizard Power¡±, Dean McKenzie found it rather strange since that trait had a prefix: ¡°Inheritance Trait¡±!
With the Inheritance Trait named ¡°Giant Lizard Power¡± and their tribe named the Giant Lizard Tribe, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but start thinking.
From the information he obtained from those he captured from the Giant Lizard Tribe and the small, old man from the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean McKenzie confirmed his suspicions.
The ¡°Extraordinary Trait¡± known as ¡°Giant Lizard Power¡± was indeed an Inheritance Trait of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
There seemed to be an item in their tribe that could pass on this trait.
This made Dean McKenzie covet the item.
Although the ¡°Giant Lizard Power¡± trait was a suicidal one, using it meant impending death, its strength was undeniable, directly increasing all attributes by six-hundred percent and increasing attack and defense by fifty times.
Dean McKenzie simply couldn¡¯t resist.
Care about the life-threatening attribute?
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t afraid ¨C he would let the skeletons learn it. Either way, he possessed the ¡°Undying Trait¡± so dying and being resurrected was no big deal to him.
Dean McKenzie thought about having every one of his skeleton minions possess the ¡°Giant Lizard Power¡±. After using the power, they¡¯d die, then be resurrected and use it again.. Such a scene was bound to send waves of despair coursing through the enemy ranks!

Dean McKenzie quickly cleaned up the battlefield on his side, then rushed to the Giant Lizard Tribe.
The tribes of the South Barbarians generally divide into two types, one that interacts with outsiders and conducts trades, like the Giant Bear Tribe and the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The other type does not interact with outsiders.
Not to mention doing business with others, if you even try to step into their territory, they¡¯d turn you into jerky!
The Giant Lizard Tribe belongs to this type!
Such tribes are extremely strict about defending their territory.
There¡¯s a hidden sentry every three steps, and a watchful eye every five. Therefore, Dean McKenzie stopped before getting too close to the Giant Lizard Tribe territory.
Not that he feared the sentinels and the vignt, but Caleb¡¯s unexpected outburst made him wary of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
Although he learned from the people of the Giant Lizard Tribe that there¡¯s only a six-turn old priest guarding their tribe now, Dean McKenzie was still not taking it lightly.
Who knows if that old priest would have another outbreak?
Hence, Dean McKenzie decided to hold off.
He will strike once the Undying Trait cools down.
While waiting for the Undying Trait to cool down, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t idle.
He started extracting from Caleb¡¯s body.
The body of Caleb is a rare resource.
Both traits are special, whether it¡¯s the Armor Break or the Giant Lizard Power, they are highly powerful.
However, it¡¯s precisely because there are two traits that Dean McKenzie hesitated, unsure how to utilize this material and who to enhance with it.
If he extracts Armor Break, undoubtedly it will be suitable for Old Nine, but if it¡¯s Giant Lizard Power, it¡¯s more suitable for Old Two.
Dean McKenzie had no way to predict what he¡¯ll extract, it was all a gamble now.
¡°Extracting the Extraordinary Trait of Giant Lizard Power probably won¡¯t be that easy, I¡¯ll bet on Armor Break!¡±
With that said, Dean McKenzie went with Old Nine¡¯s Death Arrow.
And indeed, Dean McKenzie had bet correctly.
¡°[You used the Bone Sublimation effect of Summon Skeleton to upgrade Death Arrow!]¡±
¡°[Extraction on Caleb was sessful, and you obtained 500 attribute points and Perfect Essence Armor Break!]¡±
¡°[You¡¯ve spent 500 gold coins, the Perfect Essence Armor Break is incorporated into the skill Death Arrow!]¡±
¡°[You spent 40,000 gold coins, granted Death Arrow 1 million attribute points, added direction to attack!]¡±
¡°[You spent 200 gold coins, Armor Break trait devoured a thousand high-quality essences to upgrade!]¡±
¡°[Skill Death Arrow upgrade is sessful!]¡±
Skill: Death Arrow (Fourth-turn) (One-time enhancement)
Level: 2 (450,000/5 million)
Consumption: 300,000 Spirit Power
Effect: Inflict Strength plus Agility plus Attack multiplied by 28 plus 1 million damage on the target.
Has a one percent chance of triggering instant death effect (High-Quality). Trait: Armor Break (Perfect) (Level 2) (045% armor piercing apanying skill damage)
The enhancement of Death Arrow has significantly increased Old Nine¡¯s attack. Not to mention anything else, just that additional 1 million damage multiplied by 50 could deliver 50 million damage, coupled with a 45% armor-breaking effect.
What kind of effect that would make on Dean McKenzie, who¡¯s equipped with a Guardian Shield, even he wasn¡¯t sure.
Dean McKenzie was satisfied with this enhancement result.
Afterpleting this round of enhancement, Dean McKenzie began to get busy again.
He nned to have some spare time to create more skeleton soldiers! ¡°Let¡¯s set a small goal and summon ten thousand skeleton soldiers!¡± Dean McKenzie reckoned that no matter what backup n the Giant Lizard Tribe has, ten thousand Five-Turn-Peak-Level 120 skeleton soldiers should be enough to handle all problems.
Thus, Dean McKenzie got busy outside the territory of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
He summoned one skeleton after another!
As they were meant to be cannon fodder, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t willing to use high-quality temtes and opted for summoning skeletons through ordinary temtes. However, since they were Five-Turn Level 120 creatures, even if they were just ordinary temte skeletons, their attributes had reached a ridiculous level.
Name: Unbelievable Skeleton Warrior
Temte: Ordinary
Level: 120
Trait: Intermediate
Supervised Skeleton Enhanced Attributes.
Strength: 6000, Agility: 3150, Physique: 3150
Attack: 18000
Defense: 14500
Spirit Power: 150000
Skill: Heavy Strike (Level 9) Rush (Level 9)
This level of attributes is considered very ¡®explosive¡¯ amongst Fourth-Turn creatures.
Of course, if there are only one or two such skeletons, it would be but a light drizzle for the Giant Lizard Tribe.
10 or 20 skeletons would just be a soft breeze.
But 100 to 200 skeletons would be a chilling rainstorm even for the Giant
Lizard Tribe.
1000 to 2000 skeletons would be an actual storm.
Not to mention, Dean McKenzie who originally nned to summon around ten thousand, lost control and summoned close to twenty thousand Five-Turn skeletons in one breath.
To the Giant Lizard Tribe, what kind of an impact the attack of these twenty thousand Five-Turn skeletons would have, only the people from the tribe could answer.
¡°I¡¯ve summoned enough skeletons, the Undying Trait has been restored, time to make a move!
All forces attack, kill whoever resists on the spot!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, twenty thousand Five-Turn skeletons from all directions crushed towards the Giant Lizard Tribe.
On the way, sentries, and guards of the Giant Lizard Tribe, were all crushed into pieces.
Quickly, twenty thousand skeleton soldiers were at the doorstep of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
The entire Giant Lizard Tribe was stunned.
They had never seen such a huge force before?
The sum of their entire tribe¡¯s poption doesn¡¯t even reach twenty thousand, let alone the professional soldiers who are only about two thousand..

A formidable troop of twenty thousand Fifth-turn skeletons descended upon the doorstep of the Giant Lizard Tribe, fiercely intimidating them into submission. Even the tribe¡¯s elder Sixth-turn priest, trembled in fear.
Immediately, he stepped forward, knelt at the entrance of the Giant Lizard Tribe¡¯s home, and humbly begged for a dialogue with Dean McKenzie.
¡°Honourable and Great Wraith Mage, sir, I acknowledge that our chief disrespected and offended you due to his individual actions. Please be merciful and spare our Giant Lizard Tribe.
We are willing to pay any price just to appease your anger!¡±
The speed and servile nature of the priest¡¯s surrender was beyond Dean McKenzie¡¯s anticipation.
Dean McKenzie had initially expected a major confrontation. He was surprised when the Giant Lizard Tribe adopted such a submissive stance. Wasn¡¯t this far from their usual barbaric and wild behavior?
Fortunately, the elder priest was not aware of Dean McKenzie¡¯s thoughts, or else he would have sprung at him in outrage. Well, not that he¡¯d dare!
The people of the Giant Lizard Tribe might be barbarians and possessed a certain wildness, but they were not savages or fools.
Even wild beasts gauge the cost and benefits. A lion would retreat in the face of a pack of hyenas. How could they resist the sight before them now?
Twenty thousand Fifth-turn skeletons! Surely they couldn¡¯t resist such an overwhelming horde?
Facing an undefeatable enemy, kneeling and begging for mercy might not be the cleverest choice, but it is certainly the least risky one.
Possibly, the elder priest¡¯s surrender was indeed urate.
Dean McKenzie did note with the intent to destroy the Giant Lizard Tribe. Therefore, if the tribe cooperated, Dean wouldn¡¯t resort to annihting them.
After all, Dean McKenzie was dealing with living, breathing people and not just mindless creatures.
Though Dean McKenzie could simply turn a blind eye and reduce the entire tribe to mere cold data,
That would gradually rob him of his humanity.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie issued an order, directing the professionals of the Giant Lizard Tribe to leave their homes and gather in a designated area.
Themoners were told to stay within their homes and avoid wandering around!
The Giant Lizard Tribeplied promptly and obediently without any hesitation.
Soon, more than two thousand professionals from the Giant Lizard Tribe emerged and assembled in one spot.
Then Dean McKenzie¡¯s army of skeletons entered the stage.
And so, the clearing up of the Giant Lizard Tribe began.
The skeletons ignored the tribespeople and started dismantling all the buildings obviously associated with the professionals.
The main focus was on two buildings within the Giant Lizard Tribe ¨C the Promotion Temple and the Promotion Altar.
The Promotion Temple was self-exnatory. Dean McKenzie had one at his home too.
The one in the Giant Lizard Tribe also had four floors.
Though Dean McKenzie already owned one, he didn¡¯t mind having another.
Even if it was of no use, bringing it home would still make him happy.
As for the Promotion Altar, it¡¯s a structure specifically designed for profession advancements.
When Dean McKenzie saw the Promotion Altar, he was taken aback.
The Promotion Altar of the Giant Lizard Tribe was of a high level, even higher than the Promotion Temple. It was an Intermediate 2-star Promotion Temple, too big to fit in Dean¡¯s Land of Bone.
This altar allowed for the free promotion of 500 people per day. In theory, with this altar, the Giant Lizard Tribe could have more than just 2,000 promoted professionals.
The entire tribe could easily be professionals.
Yet, that was not the case.
Dean McKenzie was curious about this.
¡°Is it a resource issue?¡±
At first, Dean McKenzie thought that this could be the cause. But after learning about the living conditions of themoners in the Giant Lizard Tribe, he realized it was not that simple.
Or rather, it was not just that.
The reason the Giant Lizard Tribe had less than a tenth of its poption as professionals in spite of possessing the Promotion Altar is because the tribe¡¯s aristocracy had effectively monopolized the altar, allowing only their kin to use it.
The rest of the tribespeople had no ess to the altar,
Worse, from the moment of their birth, their destinies were fixed.
Whatever their parents did for a living, the children had to do the same.
The sole purpose of themoners was to serve these professionals.
When Dean McKenzie came to understand this and saw the Giant Lizard Tribe¡¯smoners leading lives filled with despair, he immediately amended his initial n.
The first thing Dean McKenzie did was open the Gate of Bone and designate an area within the Land of Bone as a temporary shelter for themon people of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
Next, he drove themoners of the Giant Lizard Tribe into the Land of Bone.
Following that, the skeletons currently within the Giant Lizard Tribe switched modes and started demolishing all the buildings, regardless of whether they were professional ormon structures.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie suddenly took action against the group of professionals from the Giant Lizard Tribe that was outside the tribe.
Dean¡¯s skeleton, known as ¡®Eighth¡¯, was the first to strike, directly eliminating the elder priest.
With the only Sixth-turn existence eliminated, the remaining professionals couldn¡¯t create much of a stir.
In less than a few minutes, Dean McKenzie had sent all of the over two thousand professionals from the Giant Lizard Tribe away.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s sudden move was, on one hand, due to the fact that he had seen the living conditions of themon people inside the Giant Lizard Tribe which made him quite disgusted with the professionals who were exploiting these people, keeping more than ten thousand of them in hopeless conditions.
On the other hand¡.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Dean McKenzie had wanted to kill them, but he simply could not find a valid reason convincing enough for him to make his move. However, the current living conditions of the ordinary people in the Giant Lizard Tribe seemed to serve as a reasonable excuse. With that, Dean didn¡¯t hesitate to deliver the killing blow.
Regardless, the oue was highly favorable for Dean McKenzie.
With little effort, hepletely conquered the Giant Lizard Tribe.
The fate of the Giant Lizard Tribe served as a stark reminder to Dean who held the power of execution in this new world.[/p]
¡°No matter what happens in the future, I must never surrender nor relinquish my control over my own survival to the enemy.¡±
¡°That would only reduce me to amb for the ughter in the enemy¡¯s hands!¡±
Indeed, learning life lessons with the lives of others.
Lucky for them, they were already dead, or they might have wanted to curse him from the afterlife!
Thanks to having fifth-turn skeletons on McKenzie¡¯s side, as well as having Old Six, an expert in dismantling settlements, they achieved this with high efficiency.
The speed of their dismantling was impressive.
In just one day, Dean sessfully cleaned up the tribe, a ce that once housed twenty thousand inhabitants and over a thousand buildings.
Even the floors were uprooted and taken away.
All assets of the Giant Lizard Tribe were naturally taken away by Dean.
Concurrently, Dean found the goods he had looted earlier as well as the impressive plunder from the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The goods were directly taken by him, as for the loot?
The moment he found it, Old Eight knocked it unconscious.
Dean didn¡¯t n to let them go so easily¡ªhe intended to make sure they ¡°escaped¡±.
After all, he was in the Southern Barbarian region, under the control of the Giant Bear Tribe.
If he were to tantly destroy a tribe, the Giant Bear Tribe would undoubtedly retaliate against him.
Although Dean wasn¡¯t afraid, he wanted to avoid trouble when he could.
Therefore, he would keep his identity hidden as much as possible.
Concerning the issue of 20,000 fifth-turn skeleton soldiers being summoned to do work?
Please, Dean was only a fourth-turn Wraith Controller. How could it be possible for the Giant Bear Tribe to link him with the power to summon a fifth-turn skeleton army?
Unless there was concrete evidence, Dean doubted that the Giant Bear Tribe would look for trouble with him non-stop.
After a day of intense dismantling, only two structures remained.
One was the Intermediate 2-star Promotion Altar, and the other was a massive totem located deep within the territory of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
This huge stone pir totem was one of Dean¡¯s objectives for his trip.
Upon arrival, Dean directly cast an Appraisal Skill, revealing the attributes of the stone pir totem right before his eyes.
Name: Giant Lizard Inheritance Totem
Category: Secret Realm Inheritance Items
Description: For 1,000 gold coins, those of the Giant Lizard profession can activate this totem and begin the Giant Lizard heritage trial. Uponpletion of the trial, they can get the Giant Lizard Inheritance, which includes but not limited to the ¡°Giant Lizard Power¡±.
Ps: This is also an unconventional Secret Realm Crystal. You can try to assimte it into your realm.
Fusion method: Spend 500 purple gold coins to activate the fusion trial. If you pass the trial, this item will merge into your realm.
Pss: Initiating the fusion trial would mean facing an extraordinary-level seventh-turn opponent 100% of the time!
¡°An extraordinary-level seventh-turn opponent?¡±
Seeing this attribute, Dean¡¯s initial enthusiasm instantly cooled down.
He was well aware of the formidable extraordinary temtes.
After all, he owned one!
At the same time, Dean was explicitly aware of his current strength. He had the power, but to pit him against a seventh-turn extraordinary creature was indeed too much to ask.
Even a sixth-turn extraordinary creature would not be an easy feat right now.
Thus, for the time being, the fusion trial had to be shelved.
As for the actual trial?
It was also currently out of the question. Initiating a trial required one to belong to the Giant Lizard Profession, a condition none under Dean¡¯smand currently fulfilled. Naturally, with no one eligible for the trial that would cost 1,000 gold coins each time, there was no way to initiate it.
This certainly dampened Dean¡¯s spirits.
The [Promotion Altar] could not be entered, and this totem pole couldn¡¯t be taken up either. It was no wonder Dean McKenzie was in a bad mood!
Just as Dean was brooding over this, Old Six, his eyes flickering with Pupil Fire, walked over to the totem pole and gently tapped the stone tform beneath it with his w.
Dean didn¡¯t hear anything unusual about the sound, but Old Six¡¯s eyes instantly brightened when he heard it. Immediately, he called Doggy Two and the Skeleton Giant Warrior over to start digging.
Seeing this, Dean¡¯s attention was immediately drawn to Old Six.
He was very curious as to what Old Six was nning to do.
Before long, Dean saw that the stone tform under the totem pole had been dug out, revealing a small secret chamber.
Dean could see at a nce that in the secret chamber were many objects radiating with a golden glow. He was both shocked and delighted: ¡°A hidden chamber after all?
I wondered why, after clearing out the entire Giant Lizard Tribe, I found less than ten thousand gold coins and not a single good item; they had all been hidden here!¡±
Let me have a look to see what good things are hidden inside¡¡±
Before Dean could finish speaking, Old Six had already gone in first.
As soon as Old Six entered, he tossed out all the items inside as if they were just trash.
Gold Coins? Toss!
[Secret Realm Crystal]? Toss!
Purple gold coin? Toss!
Skill Book? Toss!
Soon, Old Six had cleared out the secret chamber and was sitting inside, his eyes flickering with Pupil Fire as he examined the structure of the chamber.
What could Dean say about Old Six¡¯s behavior?
As the only Architect Master in their family, and one who could create the [Bone Tomb] and [Bone Prison], Old Six was treated with great respect among them.
Especially when he was studying architecture, Dean wouldn¡¯t disturb him.
As for the things scattered all over the ground?
Neither Dean nor any other skeleton needed to do this; Old Eight, the professional tterer of the McKenzie family, emerged and hurriedly picked up the items, presenting them to Dean one by one.
It was fortunate that Old Eight didn¡¯t have a tail. If he did, he would no doubt be wagging it like a propeller and taking off into the sky.
Dean carelessly patted Old Eight¡¯s skull, half-heartedly expressing his appreciation, before focusing on the objects in Old Eight¡¯s hand.
Indeed, as the treasury of the Giant Lizard Tribe, the secret chamber contained the tribe¡¯s wealth umted over decades, if not centuries.
The resources there were quite substantial with as many as 67 [Secret Realm Crystals],
One hundred thousand Gold coins and 120 Purple Gold coins!
Two fifth-turn skill books, one of which was the knight skill [Final Strike], The other one was the Mage skill [Great Thunderstorm Technique],
Dean immediately gave the knight skill book to Old Eight.
Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t use the [Great Thunderstorm Technique], as the Mages in his group were all Skeleton Mages, incapable of using this skill.
In addition to these items, there were three sixth-turn Gold-quality weapons.
A Knight¡¯snce, a dagger, and a bow.
No one in Dean¡¯s group could utilize them, since none of them had reached the sixth-turn.
They had to be put away for now.
Finally, there were two items that made Dean the most delighted.
Either one of these objects was extremely important for Dean McKenzie.
There were a total of 6 high-quality Talent Stones.
Having previously acquired 3, adding these 6, Dean was now just one stone short of upgrading his talent!
Besides these items, Dean also noticed a familiar-looking scroll.
At first, Dean thought it was a [Secret Realm Modification Scroll]. Upon a closer look, however, he found that it was a [Secret Realm Plunder Scroll]!
Name: Secret Realm Plunder Scroll
Description: Special item that can be used in tandem with entering replicas. After clearing the replica, you can plunder the power of the replica¡¯s Secret Realm based on the assessment, and enhance your own Portable Secret Realm.
Usage condition: Must possess a Portable Secret Realm
Appraisal Skill Result: Although it is a one-time-use item, it might grant you more than one benefit!
Looking at the result in front of him, Dean¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help narrowing.
¡°Maybe, I should trigger the ¡®Goblin Rising¡¯ replica!¡±
Chapter 252:167 Return to the Goblin Dungeon
Chapter 252:167 Return to the Goblin Dungeon
Trantor: 549690339 |
After tearing down the Giant Lizard Tribe, Dean McKenzie found a hidden spot and tasked Old Six with taking the Promotion Altar and the Giant Lizard Totem, which currently could not fit into the Land of Bone, and stashed them there.
Moreover, he assigned a team of five-turn Skeleton Assassins of Rare Quality to guard these two items.
When everything had been arranged, Dean waved his hand, allowing twenty thousand skeletons to break apart on the spot, then turned and left the Giant Lizard Tribe, returning to the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Not long after Dean departed, Carney woke up from being unconscious.
The moment Carney opened his eyes, he realized that he seemed to be no longer in the dungeon of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
This discovery both surprised and delighted him, he didn¡¯t care how he got out and quickly took the opportunity to flee.
However, while running, Carney sensed something was wrong.
¡°Wait a minute, this location seems to be exactly where the Giant Lizard Tribe is!
But where is the Giant Lizard Tribe?¡±
Carney turned around to look at his surroundings and after a moment, his mouth unconsciously fell open.
He was dumbfounded to find that it was gone!
This vast Giant Lizard Tribe seemed to have disappeared!
As if someone had dismantled and moved everything.
Who would have the resources to move an entire Giant Lizard Tribe?
He would understand if they wanted the Promotion Temple of the Giant Lizard Tribe, but what about those ordinary wooden and stone houses? What for?
He couldn¡¯tprehend it!
Carney didn¡¯t dare to ponder it further. After taking a deep breath, he hurriedly ran away.
As he continued running, he suddenly stepped on something. Slightly startled, when he looked down, it was a pile of bones, skeleton bones scattered everywhere.
The moment he saw these slowly disappearing skeletal remains, a notion crossed Carney¡¯s mind that he found hard to believe himself.
¡°Could all of this have been done by him?
Impossible, he¡¯s just a third-turn, he couldn¡¯t possibly do¡¡±
The more he spoke, the fainter his voice became.
At this moment, Carney had a hunch that he might have unintentionallytched onto a super powerhouse.
This made Carney, who had originally nned to escape and then inform the Giant Bear Tribe, change his mind.
¡°Perhaps, I should try to distance myself from this affair as much as possible!¡±
Having said this, Carney slowed his pace, ncing back at the now deste Giant Lizard Tribe with every third step as he walked away.
On the other hand, Dean McKenzie.
Not long after leaving the Giant Lizard Tribe, Dean returned to the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The first thing Dean did when he returned to the tribe was to transform all the perfect quality corpses he had.
There were still quite a few corpses left.
Carney¡¯s batch had 88 Perfect Quality corpses. Among the more than two thousand professionals in the Giant Lizard Tribe, there were also 32 Perfect Quality professionals.
32 out of 2000, this ratio was actually quite high.
Dean threw Caleb¡¯s corpse in as well, wanting to see if it could be reused. Altogether, there were 121 corpses.
121 corpses cost Dean more than ten thousand Gold Coins.
The biggest expenditure was on the 140 Level Caleb, which cost Dean 5000 Gold Coins alone, and the result was far from satisfactory to Dean.
Perhaps it was because it had been extracted once, the quality had declined, dropped straight to Rare Quality.
However, the Giant Lizard Power was still intact.
But while the living Caleb could maintain this trait for five minutes, when activated in death, it could only sustain for 15 seconds. Dean was very disappointed. He originally wanted to kill it directly, but after thinking about it, he eventually decided to keep it.
¡°Let¡¯s keep it as a Corpse Explosion material. When the right opportunity presents itself, let it unleash its attack, take its life at a moment¡¯s notice, and follow up with a Corpse Explosion, it should deal an astonishing amount of damage.¡±
Although this was just Dean¡¯s idea and it¡¯s uncertain whether it could be achieved, but what if it seeds?
Besides, it¡¯s better than directly killing it for a Rare Quality Temte fragment, right?
As for the remaining 120 Perfect Quality Wraiths, Dean had them all exterminated.
40 Perfect Quality Temtes were obtained.
He immediately used them all, summoning 20 Skeleton Giant Warriors, 10 Skeleton Assassins, and 10 Skeleton Knights!
With this, the number of Perfect Quality skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand had expanded to an awe-inspiring 53!
However, the majority of the skeletons under Dean¡¯smand were nk tes.
They had attributes and Traits, butcked Skills.
53 five-turn Perfect Quality skeletons, but they couldn¡¯t muster up 5 five-turn Skills.
Dean had no choice in this matter and had to make do with lower-level Skills for the time being.
Anyway, he had the Skill tomand skeletons, and with the Bone King Old Two, they could still put up a fight.
Adding the Undying Trait, even without a five-turn Skill, they could still hold their own against beings of the same level.
Having such a force at his disposal, Dean was ready for the anticipated dungeon opening.
But afterpleting the preparations, Dean did not immediately kick things off, but instead waited for Carney.
Upon Carney¡¯s return, Dean met with him.
Neither of them mentioned anything about the Giant Lizard Tribe or Carney¡¯s batch of goods.
Dean simply gave Carney his next tasks.
He was to continue purchasing Temtes and Perfect Quality corpses.
After the business was settled, Dean started talking to Carney about some other matters.
¡°By the way, you¡¯ve also reached Level 120, you could have proceeded to six-turn long ago, right?
Have you thought about that?¡±
Upon hearing Dean¡¯s words, Carney was startled for a moment, thenughed bitterly: ¡°I do have the preparations to proceed to six-turn, I have even prepared the Task Scroll, but with such arge tribe here that I can¡¯t leave, I have no idea what kind of task will be assigned, so I haven¡¯t proceeded..¡±
Chapter 253:167 Return to the Goblin Dungeon !
Chapter 253:167 Return to the Goblin Dungeon !
Trantor: 549690339
With that, Carney paused and then shook his head: ¡°Rest assured, I¡¯ll go on to generate er¡¡±
¡°I¡¯m not asking you to create a Task Scroll. Didn¡¯t you say that the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe for a six-turn can also be borrowed?¡±
¡°To borrow the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe costs 50,000 Gold Coins each time, and you have to supply your own materials for the Promotion Trial¡¡±
Before Carney could finish, Dean McKenzie interrupted: ¡°I have already paid it for you, just go and try!¡±
Carney¡¯s pupils widened.
He was about to refuse, but seeing the unquestionable look on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face, he suddenly realized.
Dean McKenzie must be providing him with this money, on one hand possibly because of the situation of the Giant Lizard Tribe, making Dean McKenzie think that his partner is too weak.
On the other hand, and the most important point.
Maybe Dean McKenzie is trying to probe the situation of the Giant Lizard Tribe in advance.
After all, among the Promotion Temples in South Barbaria, the one from the Giant Bear Tribe seems to be the only one above the fourth level.
If Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t want to use the Promotion Task Scroll, he can only borrow from the Giant Bear Tribe.
Whether they can lend it or not, whether there are pitfalls ispletely unknown, so Dean McKenzie is tentatively trying to take the Giant Serpent Tribe route.
If Carney can borrow it sessfully, then Dean McKenzie can borrow the Promotion Temple under the identity of a member of the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Of course, this is only Carney¡¯s guess, and besides Dean McKenzie, no one knows whether it is the case.
However, having this theory, Carney nodded vehemently.
Then, after Dean McKenzie left Carney with 100,000 Gold Coins, he told Carney that he was going to close himself off for a while to tackle an instance, and then he sent him away.
Carney left, and Dean McKenzie picked up the [Goblin Uprising 5] and [Secret Realm Plunder Scroll] and at the same time opted to use them.
The next second, a familiar feeling of weightlessness came, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure suddenly disappeared from the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Inside the Goblin Uprising Instance!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure suddenly appeared around Pink City.
At the same time, the system prompt started refreshing in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[You have sessfully used the Secret Realm Plunder Scroll. The difficulty of clearing this secret realm has increased by one level, and you need toplete a task each time!]
[Current optional tasks: 1. Journey of Holy Light¡¯s Destruction (At least destroy 3 Holy Light Churches)2. Burning Holy Light¡¯s Regret (Wash away your sins and join the Church of Holy Light)3. Reconstruct Pink City (Rebuild this city on the ruins of Pink City)4. Goblin Uprising (Let the Goblin race rise as much as possible)]
[You have returned to the Goblin Uprising Instance, As a Secret Realm Explorer, your exploration points are currently at 0]
[Previous Recap:
Half a year ago, you returned from Fern City to Pink City to save Princess Elisa from the Church of Holy Light. Unfortunately, Pink City had already been destroyed, and Princess Elisa was killed by Kabba Raven.
Although you miraculously escaped from Kabba Raven, you were recorded by the Holy Light. Once you step into the Church of Holy Light¡¯s influence, you will be immediately discovered and besieged by the Church of Holy Light!]
[Your current instance journey has no time limit, the external time ratio is 30 to 1, but you need toplete a challenge task to unlock the reward settlement privileges!]
[You obtained the[Holy Light Mark]!]
[Holy Light Mark: An indelible mark of the Power of Holy Light left on you!]
A string of system prompts refreshed before his eyes.
However, before Dean McKenzie had a chance to read it carefully, the system prompts refresh again.
[Warning! Warning! The Holy Light Mark on you is shining brightly!]
As this system prompt came up, Dean McKenzie felt a burning sting on his forehead, and immediately, the Holy Light shone from his forehead.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie distinctly sensed, several kilometers away, three groups of about a hundred people each, rushing toward him from three directions. Everyone was okay baring their presence, powering up to their maximum.
Even before these people arrived, Dean McKenzie clearly sensed their strength.
He found out that the strength of these three groups is different from the three groups he encountered outside Fern City. There was simply noparison!
Each of them was a fifth-turn, and all were of Rare Quality.
The leaders of the three were all six-turn beings of Perfect Quality!
Seeing such a strong three teams, a smile crept onto Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
¡°Is this the wee ceremony for this instance today?
I¡¯m very pleased with this wee ceremony!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s smile gradually morphed into a deranged grin.
At the same time, elsewhere, the three teams that were rushing to surround Dean McKenzie discovered each other¡¯s presence.
At this moment, in their eyes, the other two teams were not allies, but opponents vying for credit.
A four-turn Necromancer could contribute a level 7 contribution. This was a rare opportunity, and speed mattered at this time.
Where would they have time for anything else?
They burst forth with all their might, rushing to get to Dean McKenzie first, each of them wanting to take Dean McKenzie down.
In less than 3 minutes, the three hundred-man teams arrived neatly in front of Dean McKenzie.
Only then they saw, the rare bounty, the rare opportunity in their eyes, turned into a terrifying demon lord.
With a wave of Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand, 53 skeletons of perfect quality at the fifth-turn appeared..

Trantor: 549690339 , ¡ã ? ¡¯
Five minutester, the corps of Holy Light Knights, made up of three hundred-man teams, had been utterly defeated. Two hundred had died, a few dozen had fled, and the remaining three team leaders-along with twenty or so survivors¡ªhad been sent to the Bone Prison.
The price Dean McKenzie had to pay was a reduction of his perfect quality skeleton soldiers from 53 to just 18. However, with just a snap of his fingers, the 35 skeletons that had fallen stood up again.
But even so, Dean McKenzie had to admit that the Church of Holy Light¡¯s members had a strong inhibitory effect on his army.
It must be known that after summoning his skeletons, he caught thempletely off guard.
Three teams, two-interrupted team leaders were severely injured on the spot, and nearly a third of the 300 soldiers were also heavily injured.
Even so, the opponent¡¯s counterattack still took out Dean McKenzie¡¯s 35 perfect quality skeletons.
In the end it was Old Two who dealt the final blow with the Bone Eruption causing the copse of thest team leader. Otherwise, Dean McKenzie¡¯s losses might have been even greater.
Nevertheless, Dean McKenzie had ultimately managed to take down three teams of Holy Light Knights.
After achieving this victory, without uttering a word, Dean McKenzie turned and left.
No matter what, he first needed to get out of range of the Church of Holy Light¡¯s authority and stop the Holy Light on his forehead.
The pulsing Holy Light gave Dean McKenzie a throbbing headache.
More importantly, under that Holy Light, Dean found himself filled with intense anxiety. He had a hunch that the longer he stayed on the Church¡¯s territory, the more dangerous his situation would be.
Therefore, Dean chose a direction and broke through their lines.
He was familiar with the area around Pink City, so he ascended into the sky and headed towards a forest he remembered being there. After rushing several dozens of miles, the Holy Light on Dean¡¯s forehead gradually went out.
But Dean wasn¡¯t so careless to let his guard down.
He flew several dozens of miles further before he stopped and summoned hundreds of ordinary skeletons. He directed them to spread out and attack in all directions, while Dean himself headed towards the direction of the Goblin Tribe which he remembered.
While Dean was toiling away, part of his mind was focused on studying the system prompt that appeared after logging into the instance.
Through studying the system prompt, Dean gained a clear understanding of his situation.
If he wanted to clear this instance, he had toplete at least one of the first four tasks.
The second one was impossible, as Dean would never kneel to serve as a dog for the Church of Holy Light!
The third one was also somewhat difficult for Dean. Where was he supposed to find a Pighead n to rebuild Pink City?
He knew how to destroy, but not rebuild; the same applied to Old Six. From demolishing houses, so many materials had piled up into small mountains that they could barely build the Bone Tomb and Bone Prison.
At this rate, wouldn¡¯t it take an eternity to develop a city with Old Six¡¯s efficiency?
The first task, which was to destroy three Holy Light Churches, was something Dean was more than willing to do. But his intuition warned him that the Church of Holy Light was not that simple.
If he had to forge ahead just because, he felt it would be quite risky.
Therefore, after much contemtion, Dean decided to first choose the task ¡°Rise of the Goblins¡±.
He hoped he could get through this stage.
Best case scenario, he would unlock the ¡°Reward Calction Authority¡± through this task. With this authority, Dean would have much more confidence when he went back to take on the first task. If he really couldn¡¯t win, he could always run away!
Also, Dean has been bothered by the ridiculous name of this scenario for a while. It clearly says ¡°Rise of the Goblins,¡± but there¡¯s not a single hint of goblins in the whole scenario. Dean felt it necessary ¨C no, it was time ¨C to get back to the theme of this scenario.
But before I return to the goblins, I need to deal with those guys!¡± While saying this, Dean found a ce to stop, opened the Gate of Bone, and entered the Land of Bone.
To be precise, he entered the Bone Prison inside the Land of Bone.
The reason Dean specially left the group of Holy Light Knights behind wasn¡¯t to use them to strengthen his skills, but rather to extract information about the Holy Light Assembly from them.
As for why he didn¡¯t bring them to the Goblin Tribe for interrogation, it was mainly because the Church of Holy Light had too many strange and unknown tactics.
Last time Dean merely encountered Kabba Raven, he was marked by the Holy Light Mark.
God knows whether these Holy Light Knights have any marks on them, it¡¯s probably best to deal with them outside first, to avoid inadvertently drawing the attention of the Church of Holy Light to the Goblin Tribe, which could lead to trouble.
Once Dean McKenzie entered the Bone Prison, he began by questioning a few of the Holy Light Knights.
The result was far from ideal!
This band of Holy Light Knights was incredibly resolute. No matter how Dean interrogated, tortured them, they never uttered a word.
Even when Old Eight made his move, ying them alive one by one, they didn¡¯t so much as frown. Their astonishing resolve impressed even Dean, their adversary.
It wasn¡¯t until Dean used his Appraisal Skill on them that he realized why these knights were so tight-lipped.
It wasn¡¯t due to their perseverance, they simply didn¡¯t have any will of their own.
These knights had been raised by the Holy Light Assembly since their childhood, and brainwashed so that their minds were filled with only one belief: to dedicate their lives to the Holy Light.
Their will only begins to alter once they achieve the Six-turn.
So, the ones whom Dean initially avoided interrogating, thinking they¡¯d be the toughest nuts to crack, were actually the easiest prey.
Dean then turned to the three Six-turn Team Leaders for questioning.
The team leaders began rather obstinate. However, after Old Eight yed one of them alive, the two remaining ones immediatelyplied.
Dean then separated them.
He told them that only one of them could survive. The one who shared more information would live, while the one who shared less would die!
After a moment of silence, both team leaders began spilling information, racing each other to talk.
Within two hours, Dean had obtained two pieces of the information he wanted.
Through these two pieces of information, Dean, who had visited this copy five times, had his first basic understanding of its world background.
Firstly, their location was known as the Abandoned Land, formed hundreds of years ago by the Church of Holy Light as a ce to settle non-human races.
The human world outside of the Abandoned Land was known as the Andia Kingdom. Of course, that was in the past, as the Andia Kingdom had now been transformed into the Holy Light Theocracy.
Five years ago, the Pope of the Holy Light broke through the 8-turn. The
Church then began aggressively expanding, annexing the Andia Kingdom within only two years and rebranding the entire human world as the Holy Light Theocracy.
The Holy Light Theocracy currently covered an area of three million square kilometers with 1,800 churches and tens of millions of followers!
Dean was left with goosebumps upon learning this.
He realized the magnitude of the beast he was up against.
Apart from this basic information,
the person Dean was most interested in was undoubtedly Kabba Raven.
Through the two team leaders, Dean learned that Kabba Raven was by far the most promising upstart in the Holy Light Assembly in recent years.
He solved the Wraith Scourge incident in Fern City, saving 200,000 residents.
He also found a fragment of the sphemous heart of the Holy Light Church earning tremendous credit. As of a few months ago, he had been allowed entrance to the Holy Land of the Church of Holy Light. Unless unexpected he will return from the Holy Land in three months.
At that point, there will be a dramatic change in his strength and status.
It is said that the Pope of the Holy Light Church publicly promised that if Kabba Raven passed the Holy Light Baptism and raised his temte to the Extraordinary Temte, he would be one of the Saints of the Holy Light Church, earning the status of a Substitute Pope!
Upon reading this information, Dean¡¯s face darkened ominously.
After all, nothing was more unsettling than hearing that an enemy was living a carefree and prosperous life!
It¡¯s double the monthly ticket, please support! If this month exceeds 1,000 monthly tickets, I will explode next month!

[Congrattions! You¡¯ve understood the basic information about the Goblin Uprising Instance World, earning 30 Exploration Points. Your current total is 30!]
[You¡¯ve acquired information about the Holy Light Sanctuary, earning an additional 150 Exploration Points. Your current total is 180!]
Two notifications shed in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
After obtaining the information he needed, he dealt with the group of holy knights.
He found 1 Perfect Quality Temte and 80 Rare Quality Temtes.
All bodies were converted into wraiths, and were subsequently dispatched.
Then, taking the light points dropped by the holy knights, Dean fled the scene and headed towards the location of the Goblin Tribe.
During his journey, Dean opened the 6 light points dropped by the 3 Holy Knight Captains!
[You¡¯ve opened 6 light points, you¡¯ve received 30 purple gold coins, a skill book [Heart of Holy Light], 3 bottles of [Pure Holy Water], and a single [Intermediary Equipment Requirement Exemption Order]!]
Skill Book: Heart of Holy Light (A passive Holy Light Profession skill that increases holy light affinity and the damage of holy light skills) [Pure Holy WaterRExclusive potion for Holy Light Professions, capable of restoring five million Spirit Power or Mana)
[Intermediary Equipment Requirement Exemption Order](Can exempt equipment requirements for equipment below level 140)
Six light points yielded four saint-specific items, making Dean feel like his luck was in the stratosphere.
Thest item, the[Intermediary Equipment Requirement Exemption Order], was pretty good.
¡ö¡öWith this, I can equip one of the three Six-turn Golden Equipment items I got from the Giant Lizard Tribe!¡± eximed Dean excitedly.
Yet, this brought on a new problem: which of the three pieces of equipment should Dean choose?
Should he choose Old Eight¡¯s dagger, Old Seven¡¯s knightnce, or Old Nine¡¯s longbow?
Dean hesitated, his gaze drifting to his own shadow.
Feeling Dean¡¯s scrutiny, Old Eight popped out from Dean¡¯s shadow, tilting his skeletal head and offering a smile akin to a puppy seeking validation.
This unreserved expression softened Dean¡¯s heart.
Amongst his skeletal minions, Old Eight was undoubtedly one of the hardest workers.
Always eager to do the heavy lifting, standing guard within Dean¡¯s shadow daily, ensuring his master¡¯s safety.
Although slightly goofy and prone to showboating, Eight was still reliable and would never shy away from shes with Old Two.
Now that Old Two had the Bone Throne and could absorb bones to swiftly recover, Old Eight could only take a beating time and again.
But even with the constant beatings and humiliation, Old Eight never backed down, always striving to be stronger.
How could Dean leave such a hardworking and cute Old Eight in the lurch? Hence, Dean took out the bow, tapping the exemption token against its surface.
[You¡¯ve used the [Intermediary Equipment Requirement Exemption Order] on the [Pration Meteor Bow] sessfully!]
Equipment: Pration Meteor Bow
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Equipment Requirement: Exempted
Effect 1: Pration (Perfect) (Level 6) (Converts sixty percent of damage into Pration Damage!)
Effect 2: Skill Enhancement (All bow and arrow skill levels are increased by 1, up to a maximum level of 10)
Effect 3: Meteor (Perfect) (Level 6) (Once activated can deal Six-turn Skill [Meteor] damage to target)
The equipment and its effects were simply astonishing!
Dean was bbergasted!
With this piece of equipment, Old Nine¡¯sbat power would skyrocket!
After admiring it for a while, Dean called Old Nine and handed it over.
Old Nine held onto his new equipment,pletely enamored with it. His ruby-like eyes were brimming with eagerness, itching to try out his newly acquired gear.
But Old Nine failed to notice the eyes full of resentment behind him.
Though not particrly bright, Old Eight¡¯s instincts were pretty sharp. It felt that Old Nine had stolen his equipment!
Watching Old Nine y with the longbow filled Old Eight with difort.
So, seizing an opportunity when Dean turned his back, Old Eight sneaked up on Old Nine, delivered a heavy blow that shattered the skeleton, and snatched the equipment back.
Because of the exemption applied to this equipment, Old Eight could actually use it too.
The effects weren¡¯t as good as when Old Nine used it though.
However, Old Eight didn¡¯t care about that. Once the equipment was in his hands, he wouldn¡¯t let go.
And then, Old Nine called for Old Two!
Unlike the rebellious Old Eight and Old Seven, Old Nine had always viewed Old Two as its leader since their creation and had a deep connection with him. They could directlymunicate to ask for help.
Even before Old Nine could call for help, Old Two had already appeared.
Yes, summoned by Dean.
How could Old Eight refuse a beating after acting out like that?
Dean didn¡¯t bother with getting his own hands dirty, and brought in Old Two, a professional in this regard.
And so, Old Eight was punished severely again!
Within less than ten minutes, every bone in his being was scattered on the ground, and the [Pration Meteor Bow] returned to Old Nine¡¯s hands.
Once Dean figured Old Two had punished Old Eight enough, he finally arrived, stopped Old TWO¡¯S ¡°tyranny¡±, picked up Old Eight¡¯s scattered bones, and helped Old Eight reassemble itself!
His tender gaze, delicate movements, and gentle tone touched Old Eight deeply.
Old Eight became convinced that its master was the greatest master in the world!
Little did it know, it was this great master of theirs who had released Old Two to punish it!

Dean McKenzie patted Old Eight¡¯s head, promising it a suitable equipmentter. With that, theedic episode ended and Dean McKenzie continued towards the direction of the Goblin Tribe.
Although Dean McKenzie had been away from the Goblin Tribe for over a year in the game, and his departure was part of the story line and not one he chose to make, he still had a rough sense of where the Goblin Tribe was.
This sense likely originated from the influence of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Primary Lord Temte.
Guided by this sense, Dean McKenzie journeyed for three days and finally returned to where his reincarnation in the tribe began.
At the same time of Dean¡¯s return to the beginning, something unexpected happened.
[You have returned to your territory. Your Lord Temte is reactivated!] [Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 1: Your subordinate, Strong Grass, has evolved into a Goblin Brave. You have gained a rare level hero subordinate. Your Lord Temte has been upgraded!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 3: Your tribe, the Swiftwind Goblins, has doubled its influence under the leadership of Strong Grass. Your Lord Temte has been boosted!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 5: Your subordinate, Strong Grass, has evolved into a Goblin Hero. You have gained a perfect level subordinate. Your Lord Temte has been upgraded!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 6: Your Tribe has opened a passage to the Golden in. Your Lord Temte is upgraded!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 7: Your Tribe has subdued the Dwarf Tribe, ¡°Storm Hammer¡±. Your Lord Temte has been upgraded to intermediate level!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 8: Your Tribe subdued the Dogman, Earl. Your territorial power has been boosted!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 1, month 10: Your Tribe has subdued the Goblin Tribe, ¡°ck¡±. Your territorial power has been boosted!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 2: Your tribe has constructed the City of Swiftwind. Your strength gets boosted!]
[Swiftwind Tribe, year 2, month 1: Your subordinate, Strong Grass, acquires the evolution temte of Goblin Queen, is officially renamed David!]
[You discovered the Golden in, earned 200 Exploration Points. Current Exploration Points: 380!]
[Your tribe explores the Golden in, earning 370 exploration points. Current Exploration Points: 750!]
[You havepleted the task ¡°Rise of the Goblins¡±. The current settlement can get an S-level Evaluation!]
The series of system prompts shing in front of him left Dean McKenzie bewildered!
Having travelled great lengths to return, he had been wracking his brains on how toplete the task ¡°Rise of the Goblins¡±.
Yet before his n could take shape, the system notified him that the task waspleted!
Dean McKenzie was stunned and especially curious.
¡°What exactly happened to my tribe in this past year?¡±
With this curiosity, Dean fetched out the ck crystal and changed his appearance to that of a goblin and sneakily approached the valley where the Swiftwind Tribe was initially based.
The closer he got to the valley, the more stunned he was.
Dean noticed that thends around the valley had been highly developed by the goblins.
Fields of crops and orchards were plotted around, with goblins seenboring throughout.
The atmosphere of life and civilization was thick everywhere in the tribe.
Compared to a year ago, the change was iparable.
And this was only a minor part of it. When Dean McKenzie approached the direction of Swiftwind Valley, he was utterly stunned.
The small valley, which started to feel crowded after amodating one to two thousand people, had transformed into a massive city with metallic and technological aesthetics.
The most eye-catching sight was the towering metal city walls and the militaristically equipped city guardsprised of Goblins, Dogmen, and Dwarves.
Every soldier was at a minimum level of 41.
Quite a number were even at level 61.
This military strength made Dean McKenzie unable to believe that this was the same Swiftwind Tribe that couldn¡¯t muster up a single One-turn more than a year ago.
Has it been only a year for the Swiftwind Tribe?
Or perhaps, has a hundred years passed for this tribe?
With shock and confusion, Dean stepped into the Swiftwind Tribe, no, it should be called the City of Swiftwind now.
Upon entering, Dean McKenzie saw two statues erected at the entrance.
One was of him, and the other was also of him!
Carved onto his statue were the words[The great Enlightener of the Goblins, the Lord of the City of Swiftwind, the Husband of Goblin Hero David, the Future Wraith Saint, His Highness Dean McKenzie]!
Seeing those words, Dean McKenzie nearly spiraled into disbelief!
He sharp-wittedly noticed that something odd had slipped into his list of titles.
Dean McKenzie could swear with certainty that this was definitely David¡¯s handiwork.
And the fact was indeed so!
These statues were indeedmissioned or rather carved under the orders of David, and not just one or two.
The City of Swiftwind was littered with such statues.
The most extravagant of all was the hundred-meter-tall statue located at the city square of the City of Swiftwind.
It made Dean McKenzie almost drop dead from embarrassment!
Chapter 257: The evaluation of the randomly obtained SS-

Trantor: 549690339
It took all the determination Dean McKenzie had not to destroy this statue!
¡°I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t. I¡¯ve to hold it in. If Ish out now, it¡¯ll expose me instantly!¡±
Seemingly, being exposed wouldn¡¯t be a big issue.
Given the current situation, Dean McKenzie is still the spiritual leader of the City of Swiftwind.
But Dean doesn¡¯t want to return in this manner.
¡°What will people think of me? What do I look like now?
In their eyes, don¡¯t I look like a freeloader who¡¯spletely dependent on the Strong Grass?¡±
Of course, Dean has nothing against sponging. Let¡¯s be real, who would say no to some freebies?!
If this freebie is enticingly delicious, Dean would be more than willing to ept it.
But the problem is, the Strong Grass¡wait, no ¨C David, is still very much in Dean¡¯s sight.
That formidable figure is still vivid in his mind.
Freebies should be easy and sweet, but Dean doesn¡¯t find this one particrly appetizing.
That¡¯s why Dean believes he cannot return as a good-for-nothing freeloader!
Besides, Dean wants to make a significant impact upon his return, like theeback of a ruler!
Holding this thought, Dean asks Old Eight to take action.
With the help of Old Eight, Dean manages to gather all the necessary information about the City of Swiftwind in one day.
He now understands the current state of affairs in the City of Swiftwind.
Dean discovers that the City of Swiftwind is currently doing quite well. It has a cautious yet steady progression on the Golden in. There don¡¯t appear to be any enemies, and in fact, they have quite a few good rtionships with some powers in the Golden in.
Don¡¯t even get me started on the back end. The Goblin, Dogman, and Dwarves tribes are blending very well together.
Observing this, Dean can¡¯t help but feel less than thrilled.
If they¡¯re doing so well even without any enemies, how is Dean supposed to make his grand return?
¡°Who the hell taught her to do so well?
Oh wait, I guess it was me!¡±
Dean finds, to his amusement, that the current progress of the Swiftwind Tribe seems to be based on the principles he taught during his time there.
When Dean was teaching, he taught whatever came to mind. He didn¡¯t put much heart into it, but David managed to extract a valid method from the haphazard information that Dean provided and it seems to be very effective.
Seems David managed to steady the ship and grew the tribe to a great extent in just over a year. Dean finds it difficult to find the right timing to make his grand return, and it leaves him quite discontented.
¡°Damn it, I refuse to believe that I cannot find an opportunity. Even if I can¡¯t find one, I can definitely create one!
Off to the Golden in!¡±
With this in mind, Dean decides to head to the Golden in to supposedly concoct a crisis for the Goblin Tribe.
By crafting a crisis, he could then step in to resolve it. A perfect chance for an impressive return!
Therefore, with a map from the Swiftwind Tribe in hand, Dean plunges into the passage leading to the Golden in and steps foot in the Golden in.
[You have entered Golden in, gained 50 exploration points, current exploration points 800!]
Dean brushes off the system notification and gets to work immediately.
¡°The area around the Golden in Passage has been taken under control by David. Currently, the Swiftwind Tribe has established a base here, with David personally guarding it.
Aside from exerting forceful deterrent, the tribe has also established positive rtionships with several forces nearby. Together, they have created a trade market, which acts as the bond between them.
The Swiftwind Tribe, the Werewolf Tribe, the Fox n, and the Gnome n have formed a powerful alliance.
All four forces have collectively progressed!¡±
Remembering this piece of information, Dean nods in acknowledgment.
This nod is both a recognition of David¡¯s initiatives and a concern for the current pattern of growth.
¡°They are doing a good job, but it¡¯s just that ¨C a good facade.
On the surface, this collective seems solid and invincible. However, beneath the surface, the other three forces don¡¯t truly ept the Swiftwind Tribe.
Swiftwind Tribe is only doing the things the other three forces want to do but can¡¯t, hence acting as a lubricant.
Once the three forces get along well, the Swiftwind Tribe would lose its purpose, and they would just consume the Swiftwind goblin tribe.
So, it¡¯s not like I want to create problems deliberately. I just want to remove potential risks for the Swiftwind Tribe!¡±
Saying this, Dean springs into action.
On the second day of Dean¡¯s arrival on the Golden in, a conservative leader of the Werewolf Tribe, who was also the initiator of the coboration with David, is attacked and severely injured in the Swiftwind Tribe¡¯s base on the Golden in.
Although he is not dead, he is in a deepa.
ording to clues from the scene, a goblin from the Swiftwind Tribe is involved. Even implicating David, the goblin hero of the attack.
It is, of course, Dean¡¯s doing.
His primary intention is to intensify the conflict between the Werewolf Tribe and the Swiftwind Tribe.
Based on the information gathered by Dean and Old Eight, it seems that the Werewolf Tribe¡¯s vice leader is the representative of the young faction among werewolves who despises the Swiftwind Tribe due to their aggressive and fierce nature. They have been trying to persuade the elder leader and the other two groups to consume the Swiftwind Goblin Tribe.
However, he has always been suppressed by the elder leader and has never seeded.
Now, Dean provides him an opportunity by taking down the elder leader, while also giving him a substantial excuse. Dean is excited to see how this radical representative of the werewolves will perform next..

Trantor: 549690339 |
This wolf didn¡¯t let Dean McKenzie down and immediately convened the elites of the Werewolf Tribe, Fox n, and Gnome n to confront the Swiftwind Tribe¡¯s fortress.
They arrived with a formidable presence, like they were about to swallow up the Swiftwind Tribe.
Dean McKenzie was invigorated by the sight.
His stage for a royal return was finally set, and now it was time to perform!
Then, something happened that left Dean McKenzie dumbfounded.
An elder Goblin from the Swiftwind Tribe stepped forward and, with his astonishing eloquence, was able to clear the Tribe of suspicion. Not only that, but they deflected the me onto a neighboring Werewolf Tribe!
In the old goblin¡¯s words: ¡°Though we have no concrete evidence, we can conjecture that whoever benefits most from the situation is certainly the most suspicious. This Werewolf Tribe, known as ¡°Earl¡±, has had an ongoing feud with your tribe, ¡°Hawk¡±. Ever since our cooperation began, they¡¯ve repeatedly tried to sabotage it. I¡¯m certain that this time, the plot is theirs.¡±
He suggested, ¡°We should join forces and take down ¡°Earl¡± to avenge our elder chief!¡±
The goblin¡¯s words left the angry young leaders of the Werewolf Tribe momentarily speechless and their eyes gleaming with anticipation.
The other two forces didn¡¯t express much of an opinion. Then the elder goblin disclosed, ¡°ording to reliable sources, ¡°Earl''¡±s Tribe recently discovered a mid-sized Mithril Mine. They seem to be in close contact with several other tribes in the vicinity, perhaps in preparation to form an alliance simr to ours!¡±
The moment the words left the goblin elder¡¯s mouth, the Fox n and the Gnome n instantly dropped their objections.
And so, Dean McKenzie watched through his old contact, as the goblin dealt with the crisis with ease, turned danger into opportunity and collected the power of four forces to take down ¡°Earl¡±, the Werewolf Tribe, the same day.
Four forces against the sworn enemy of the ¡°Hawk¡± was like capturing an enemy single-handedly.
In less than a day, Earl was conquered.
But the most brilliant operation of the old Goblin only began after capturing ¡°Earl¡±.
He stepped forward again, stopped the ¡°Hawk¡± Tribe from annihting the ¡°Earl¡± Tribe, and proposed a n to extract the ¡°Earl¡± Tribe as a contact to pull several nearby forces into an alliance.
The Hawks, of course, objected strongly to this n.
But their objection was to no avail. They had been at the forefront of the battle and suffered the most. Their reduced strength and voice meant they had less say, and the other two tribes didn¡¯t want the Hawks to grow stronger after the annihtion of Earl.
What was more crucial was the appealing offer the goblins proposed.
Having savored the benefits of alliance, the Fox n and Gnome n knew they could seize an opportunity to grow in this isted corner of the Golden in if they united again.
Added to the Goblins¡¯ promise of mutual benefits, they couldn¡¯t refuse any longer.
So, within less than a month, their collective benefitingmunity expanded from four to nine ns!
The old Goblin¡¯s artfulbination made him the head of the benefitingmunity and attracted several wandering Goblin Tribes to join Swiftwind. This entire operation left Dean McKenzie amazed.
When thismunity of mutual benefit was initially constructed, the system on Dean McKenzie¡¯s end brought a notification.
[Under your covert operation, ¡°Goblin Power- Swiftwind Tribe¡± has taken a step forward. You can receive an SS-level reward if you settle now!]
Seeing the system notification, Dean McKenzie could only say, ¡°Well, this is exactly the result I wanted. Everything is under my control!¡±

in the end, Dean McKenzie tearfully abandoned any idea of a triumphant return.
After all, whenpared to the development opportunities found in Swiftwind Tribe, whether he made a grand return or not seemed insignificant!
in the end, his purpose foring was to get a guarantee for leaving the game instance, not for some triumphant return.
Since he had the guarantee, it didn¡¯t matter whether he returned or not.
However, since he was here anyway, Dean McKenzie was not nning to just walk away.
Since he was here, he might as well do something!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell on the Golden in.
Having been in the Golden in for over half a month, he had a solid understanding of the situation.
Strong Grass and the others were located on the outskirts of the Golden in. The powers here were not strong ¨C the strongest leaders only had about fifth-turn power.
Just like Strong Grass at the moment.
But Strong Grass had be a Goblin Hero, and having mastered the Perfect Temte of the Goblin Queen, it was at the pinnacle of fifth-turn.
It was because of this strength that the Swiftwind Tribe could hold its ground.
But whenpared to the entire Golden in, their strength was simply
ughable.
Setting everything else aside, just beside them was a tribe that, from their perspective, was invincible!
It was the One-eyed Ogre Tribe, a formidable foe whose members started at
the rare six-turn level.
For now, the tribe had not discovered the existence of the Swiftwind Tribe.
But with the Swiftwind Tribe¡¯s expansion, the two tribes would eventually meet, at that point, Dean McKenzie estimated, they probably wouldn¡¯tst
two
rounds!
So, Dean McKenzie decided, since he was here, he would take down the One-eyed Ogre Tribe first!
in this way, he could eliminate potential threats for the Swiftwind Tribe.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie could also grind some monsters and boost his strength before confronting the Church of Holy Light!
Additionally, he could familiarize himself with his current optimal battle
tactics!
After making this decision, Dean McKenzie immediately took action.
He first arrived near the One-eyed Ogre Tribe.
The Ogre tribe was located in a small valley. It was a good location with a small river in front of it and a herd of Carl nearby. The water and food supplies were ample, so the poption of the One-eyed Ogre Tribe had grown to three hundred.
Old Eight had already scouted the area in advance.
Among the three hundred One-eyed Ogres, apart from a few juveniles, most were at six-turn. The majority were of rare quality, with a small portion o perfect quality.
Deep within the tribe, there seemed to be their strongest existence.
It was extraordinarily formidable!
Against such powerful opponents, Dean McKenzie had a simple strategy. He lurked around the territory of the One-eyed Ogre Tribe and began to frantically summon skeletons!
This time, Dean McKenzie was more generous, he did not summon only ordinary skeletons.
He summoned fifteen thousand ordinary skeletons and five thousand elite-quality skeletons!
It took almost a full day to prepare and summon the twenty thousand
skeletons.
And at this point, the first batch of skeletons didn¡¯t have much time left to
exist.
With the Summon Skeleton Skill not leveled up, twenty thousand skeletons was basically Dean McKenzie¡¯s limit.
¡°That should be enough, attack!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, just as in the previous conflict with the Giant Lizard Tribe, the tide of twenty thousand skeletons surged towards the One-eyed Ogre Tribe!
However, the One-eyed Ogre Tribe¡¯s response was much quicker and fiercer than the Giant Lizard Tribe¡¯s had been.
The moment the Skeleton Army neared the One-eyed Ogre Tribe by less than a kilometer, thetter was alerted and swiftly reacted.
The next instant, over a dozen huge meteorites wreathed in fire fell from the sky and hit the Skeleton Army.
One wave of attack annihted the front two to three thousand Skeletons. Dean McKenzie was taken aback: ¡°The One-eyed Ogre Tribe actually has spellcasters?¡±
Because Old Eight had done the scouting, it could only provide general information, so indeed, Dean McKenzie had not anticipated this.
And this unexpected development certainly wasn¡¯t good news for him. Regardless of the time and ce, wizards always posed a significant threat to swarm tactics.
A single wave had ounted for two to three thousand. After a few more waves, Dean McKenzie¡¯s forces wouldn¡¯t have much left!
Right then, more ming meteorites were falling from the sky.
¡°They can¡¯t be allowed to continue like this !¡±
With that, Dean McKenzie activated his Flight Skill and took off, hovering a couple hundred meters away from the One-eyed Ogre Tribe. He raised both hands and activated the Small Meteorite Technique he¡¯d acquired a long time ago but hadn¡¯t used.
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s current Spiritual Power, the damage of the Small Meteorite Technique was terrifying. The meteorites, each with an attack power of two to three million, rained from the sky, bombarding the One-eyed Ogre Tribe.
Before they hit the ground, an ogre from the tribe leaped high into the air andnded a punch on one of the meteorites, shattering it with a single blow.
The power of that punch was terrifying!
However, a smile appeared on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
That¡¯s because this wave was merely a diversion; the real firepower wasn¡¯t from him.
Almost simultaneously, a system notification appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) used the Death Arrow skill, triggered the Lucky Strike and achieved a 37 times attack multiplier!]
Simultaneously, a gray arrow traveled over a thousand meters and targeted the spellcasters in the One-eyed Ogre Tribe!

Of course, the One-eyed Ogre Tribe must have some form of protection against magic.
However, it was impossible to defend against an arrow carrying 37 times the damage of a ¡°Death Arrow¡±, equipped with sixty percent pration and forty percent armor break, in such a hasty situation.
The arrow sessfullynded in the midst of a dozen elderly One-eyed Ogre spellcasters.
The next second, the ¡°Pration Meteor Bow¡± triple-activated its effects.
The level 6, six-turn Meteor skill exploded, instantly drowning a dozen spellcasters and even heavily injuring the surrounding One-eyed Ogres.
The immediate sess allowed Dean McKenzie¡¯s Skeleton Army to proceed.
Though only about fifteen thousand skeletons remained, it was still a formidable force.
The One-eyed Ogre Tribe was directly inundated by a sea of skeletons.
Of course, taking down two to three hundred of the One-eyed Ogre Tribe with just these fifteen thousand fifth-turn skeletons was still somewhat difficult.
After all, there was a considerable gap in strength between the two sides.
The difference in numbers was hardly enough to even this out.
However, Dean McKenzie also had two ranged characters on his side.
Dean McKenzie, high in the sky, was using his Bone Fang to shoot down the ogres distantly, one by one!
With a base of 5 million mana, each of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fangs had a double mana attack of one hundred thousand.
His basic spiritual power was around 111,000. The ¡°Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat¡± increased it by 1.2 times, reaching 133,000.
The Bone Fang, at level 10, has a base damage of digging(Check the character unit here) 7 million, with double damage amounting to 540 million. Add to that the 300% increase of the ¡°Bone Control¡± skill, as well as over one million magic injury, just one casual Bone Fang thrown by Dean McKenzie could start with a damage of sixteen million.
This kind of damage was considered top-tier even among the six-turn.
One fired from the sky could turn a One-eyed Ogre into an ice sculpture.
It could fire one every three to five seconds.
Compared to Old Nine, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attacks were much more restrained.
The horror of Old Nine¡¯s attacks at that moment was simply indescribable.
A regr attack could deal 25 million damage if he was lucky enough to trigger the 50 times damage multiplier.
While luck may not always be on his side, Old Nine was fast.
Dean McKenzie could fire one every three to five seconds, while Old Nine could fire three to five in a second, which would still be considered slow.
Under the relentless assaults of Dean McKenzie and Old Nine, the numbers of the One-eyed Ogre Tribe started dwindling rapidly.
At this rate, the Ogre Tribe would be wiped out in less than twenty minutes.
Just at that moment, a One-eyed Ogre standing five to six meters tall walked out from within the tribe. As soon as it appeared, it grabbed another One-eyed Ogre and threw it at Dean McKenzie, who was mid-air.
Shockingly, the One-eyed Ogre was actually thrown six hundred meters into the sky, nearly hitting Dean McKenzie.
Luckily, Dean McKenzie was able to swat it away with Bone Resistance.
However, just as Dean McKenzie used Bone Resistance to push away the projectile Ogre, he saw the giant Ogre already in front of him. It swung a gigantic Wolf Tooth Club directly at him, sending him crashing down from the air.
If it wasn¡¯t for the Guardian Shield that Dean McKenzie constantly had activated, that strike alone could have killed him.
But even with the shield on, the attack shattered its defenses. He felt his head humming as he fell from the sky.
Despite the ringing in his head, Dean McKenzie¡¯s entire attention was on the giant One-eyed Ogre.
Name: King of the One-eyed Ogres
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 140
Traits: Robust Physique (B) (1 point of strength equals 100 attack, 1 point of physique equals 100 defense.)
Anti-Magic Attack (A) (Upon hitting a target, it can shatter A-grade/Extraordinary and below trait and skill effects, rendering them ineffective, and unable to put on simr skill and trait effects within five minutes!
Note: For A-grade/Extraordinary Traits, the sess rate is 20%)
Intermediate (Special)
Attribute points:
Strength: 300,000, Agility: 40,000, Physique: 300,000, Spirit: 1
Base Attack: 30 million
Base Defense: 30 million
Skill: ???
Exnation: A boss of extraordinary quality, extremely terrifying!
Three traits, one ordinary, one perfect, and one extraordinary, this was the first time Dean McKenzie had seen such a monster.
As Dean McKenzie watched it, it rushed at him in return.
It seemed to be determined to take Dean McKenzie down.
How could the skeletons of McKenzie¡¯s house let it seed?
Old Nine fired a ¡°Death Arrow¡±, fortuitously triggering a 50 times Lucky Strike!
The base damage of the skill was already 15.48 million. A 50 times Lucky Strike delivered a horrifying damage of 770 million.
This was definitely a damage at the seven-turn level.
Even the most extraordinary six-turn being would certainly die under this strike.
But this One-eyed Ogre was different. It casually lifted its almost 10-meter-long Wolf Tooth Club and slightly brushed the arrow. The 770 million damage instantly dropped to less than 1 million, bing a regr attack.
Theplete disy of the ¡°Anti-Magic Attack¡± was shocking.
At the same time, it meant that Dean McKenzie¡¯s peril was not yet over.
The King of the One-eyed Ogres once again charged at Dean McKenzie, killing everything in its way.
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Doggy Two and Old Seven took action one after another, but none of them could stop it..
Chapter 261:169 Second Extraordinary Trait_3
Chapter 261:169 Second Extraordinary Trait_3
Trantor: 549690339
The most aggrieved had to be Doggy Two.
At this moment, he finally managed topletely activate [King of Bone] which increased all attributes by 500%, then activated [Bone Eruption] on this basis, summoned [Bone Throne], and added Dean McKenzie¡¯s [Skeleton Domination]. The features skyrocketed to an exaggerated extent:
Strength: 1.045 Million, Agility: 315,000, Physique: 198,000, Spirit: 198,000
Attack: 12.26 Million
Defense: 2.97 Million
Indeed, the attributes had reached an extreme exaggeration.
Yet, the result just after contacting the opponent¡¯s Wolf Tooth Club, he was instantly reverted to his original form.
¡°This [Anti-Magic Attack] is absolutelywless!¡±
Dean McKenzie had to admit that he had really taken a liking to this attribute.
He could train a mage killer with it!
And now to get this attribute, there is one prerequisite, that is to take down
this guy.
For this reason, Dean McKenzie brought out all his trump cards.
Opened the Gate of Bone and threw out the wraith transformed from Caleb.
As soon as he came out, he directly activated [Giant Lizard Power], instantly increasing all attributes by 600%. When this trait was activated, the four-dimensional aspects of the wraith of Caleb, although not as exaggerated as 2.5 million, also reached 1.8 million.
And as he activated the Giant Lizard Power, the King of the One-eyed Ogre
tribe came within his 50 meters range.
Dean McKenzie instantly exercised his authority, took Caleb¡¯s life, and shot out
a [Corpse Explosion] at the same time.
1.93 million times 20 instantaneously erupted to yield a damage of 38.6 million over the area, much less than the 770 million from Old Nine, but the King of the One-eyed Ogre tribe couldn¡¯t eliminate this kind of area damage.
Moreover, caught off guard, he was directly flipped over on the ground, and his
Wolf Tooth Club was also knocked away.
¡°Now is the time, hit it!¡±
Dean McKenzie seized this opportunity to call on Old Nine to take action.
Both attacked frantically.
Today, the ever-lucky Old Nine once again dealt a 42-times lucky strike, whichnded on the head of the One-eyed Ogre King, directly sting his head.
A system prompt was also refreshed immediately.
[You sessfully killed the [King of One-eyed Ogre] (Extraordinary) (Level
140), your level has been elevated to level 88!]
Seeing this system prompt, Dean McKenzie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the death of the King of the One-eyed Ogre, this battle has basicallye to an end.
The remaining One-eyed Ogres are no longer threatening.
In less than ten minutes, the remaining One-eyed Ogres were all sent by Dean McKenzie to apany the King of the One-eyed Ogres.
As soon as the battle ended, Dean McKenzie rushed to the side of the One-eyed
Ogre King first-hand.
He was quite interested in its [Anti-Magic Attack].
After all, it was impressively offensive and defensive in the hands of the King of the One-eyed Ogre!
Just as Dean McKenzie approached the [King of the One-eyed Ogre], he
hesitated.
The item was good, it¡¯s just that Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know who to give it to!
It¡¯s not that no one could use this thing, but that it suits everyone.
If it matches Old Nine, with this thing, his attack will directly ascend to the limit, will most likely one-shot beings below the Seventh-turn Extraordinary.
It should also match me, my Bone Fang with this Anti-Magic Attack would be equally terrifying.
Even Old Two, Old Seven, and Old Four can handle it.
After all, the One-eyed Ogre had personally demonstrated this attribute to them, it¡¯s suitable for both offense and defense.
Every one of them seemed to be able to use it, but it made Dean McKenzie unsure about what to do.
But Dean McKenzie had to make a decision.
He could only eliminate one at a time.
¡°First of all, it is certain that this thing is indeed beneficial to everyone, but who to give it to requires some consideration.
Old Nine already has [Armor Break] and [Pration], The reason why he waspletely controlled before was that his attribute hasn¡¯t reached the Extraordinary quality. If it reaches Extraordinary Quality, the King of the One-eyed Ogre might not be able to control Old Nine.
And [Anti-Magic Attack] given to Old Nine, in fact, is simr to the effects of [Armor Break] and [Pration], it can easily deal with low-level powers, but facing powers beyond a certain range, it may not have this effect, so there¡¯s no need to give this thing to Old Nine.
The same goes for me. I have the Appraisal Skill. Thebination of Appraisal Skill and Bone Fang may not be worse than [Anti-Magic Attack],
Once we get this attribute, the advantage of it being both offensive and defensive is lost, so is the case with Old Four.
So, the most suitable for this attribute is still the progressive type. Old Eight has the [Ghost de] and [Invincibility] so he doesn¡¯t need them, while as for Old Seven, a knight already possesses a fearless charging effect with this object, but he already has the effect of [Fearless Charge] on his charges, so there¡¯s no need for it.
Hence, let¡¯s just give it to Old Two!¡±
Dean McKenzie was mentally analyzing the situation from all angles rationally on his side, while Old Eight, upon hearing this, automatically tranted it in his mind as:
Tve been fooled by that seductive skunk, Doggy Two!¡¯
That left Old Eight simmering with anger!
If Doggy Two can be so cunning and sly, then when would he, Old Eight, be able to fight back?
So all he could do was sadly watch as Dean McKenzie called Doggy Two over. Then, opening up Doggy Two¡¯s attribute page, he studied it for a while, and finally chose Doggy Two¡¯s Fourth-turn Skill [Steel Bones]!
Then he sacrificed the rest of the over ten-thousand skeletons, finished extracting ordinary skeletons, leaving only the elite ones, and then started enhancing Doggy Two¡¯s skill.
[You use the [Bone Sublimation] effect of your Skill [Summon Skeleton], and start enhancing the [Steel Bones] Skill, gaining a time of enhancement of 150 minutes!]
[You use the [Extraction] on the [King of the One-eyed Ogre], sessfully extracting 500 attribute points, and extracting the Perfect Essence [Robust Physique]!]
¡°Damn!¡±
Looking at what came out, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face darkened.
Having thought of a n, and then having this oue, it was no surprise that Dean McKenzie was displeased!
First thing, he dragged the [King of the One-eyed Ogre] to the Land of Bone, used [Bone Sublimation] and spent 25,000 Gold Coins to turn it into a wraith.
Those 25,000 Gold Coins were given grudgingly.
With his experience of having Caleb before, Dean had estimated that once he transformed the [King of the One-eyed Ogre], its quality might not be Extraordinary, and he might not get [Anti-Magic Attack], or even if he did, it could just be the Perfect Quality Trait.
But Dean McKenzie was willing to take the gamble, because this trait had a real powerful effect.
And Dean McKenzie was indeed lucky as he won that gamble.
The [King of the One-eyed Ogre], transformed into a wraith, was at an Extraordinary level which shocked and thrilled Dean McKenzie. He then sacrificed it once more.
[You use the [Extraction] on the [King of the One-eyed Ogre], sessfully extracting 500 attribute points, and extracting the Extraordinary Essence [Anti-Magic Attack]!]
Seeing that he had finally gotten something worthwhile, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but smile.
[You spend 40,000 Gold Coins to give 1,000,000 attribute points to the [Steel Bones], with a focus on [Robust]!]
[You spend 20,000 Gold Coins to give the Extraordinary Essence [Anti-Magic Attack] to [Steel Bones]!]
[You spend 2,000 Gold Coins to give the [Robust Physique] to [Steel Bones]!] [Your Skill [Steel Bones] has been sessfully enhanced!]
Skill: Steel Bones (Fourth-turn) (First enhancement)
Level: 1 Level
Effect: Passively increase Physique by 1,000,000 times 5 and then +1,000,000 permanent defense
Trait: Robust Physique (Perfect) (Level 1) (Each point of Strength and Physique gives an extra 10 points of Attack and Defense)
Anti-Magic Attack (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (Thirty percent chance to shatter Perfect Quality and below Skills/Traits, three percent chance to shatter Extraordinary Quality Skills/Traits) PS: trigger it once every second
Once the skill was enhanced, Doggy Two¡¯s attack power increased by nearly one million, and his defense increased by around 1.2 million.
Though the Level 1 Anti-Magic Attack was not as good as the others, its frequency of activating once per second was not to be scoffed at.
Doggy Two¡¯sbat power underwent an epic level of enhancement.
After enhancing Doggy Two, Dean McKenzie did not stop. In line with the principle that once you start doing something, you should finish it, Dean McKenzie inspected all the bodies of the One-eyed Ogre Tribe. Once he discovered they all possessed Robust Physique, he extracted the Perfect Quality ones into temte fragments, obtaining 17 Perfect Temte fragments.
The remaining rare quality One-eyed Ogre corpses weren¡¯t wasted as Dean McKenzie used them to enhance his skills directly!
In total, he had two hundred and fifty rare essences, all of which he used to enhance [Wild Intuition].
[Youmence the second enhancement of the Skill [Wild Intuition]!] [You spend 5,000 Gold Coins, and the [ident Perception] trait of [Wild Intuition] absorbs and devours 250 rare essences! The ident Perception Trait rises to the Extraordinary Level!]
[Your Skill [Wild Intuition] has been sessfully enhanced!]
Chapter 262:170 Income
Chapter 262:170 Ie
Trantor: 549690339
Skill: Wild Intuition (twice enhanced)
Level: 7 (1221/15000000)
Skill Effect: Can passively sense threats that affect personal safety, with the probability of detection being 100%.
Skill trait: ident Perception (extraordinary) (level 4) (It might asionally provide you with some unexpected perception information!) ps: If the level is much higher than yours or if an extraordinary hidden skill is used, your perception might be partially obstructed.
The attribute for the enhanced [Wild Intuition] was straightforward.
However, Dean McKenzie was well aware that seemingly simple attributes often proved to be the most powerful.
No sooner had he finished enhancing this attribute, than the extraordinary trait started giving him immediate feedback.
Danger! Retreat immediately!
At that moment, Dean McKenzie felt as though he were in a teetering building about to copse.
He felt as if this structure might crumble any second.
Choosing to trust that feeling, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t utter a word, he immediately stood up and sprinted away.
But even after he shot into the sky with a flight spell, that feeling of danger didn¡¯t fade. Instead, it remained persistent and seemed to be getting closer.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie hurriedly sacrificed the over five-thousand elite skeletons he had left over from the Land of Bone.
[You have used four enhancement slots and chosen to enhance the [Flight Skill]. You have 150 minutes of enhancement time!]
[You have spent 60,000 gold coins and used 1.5 million attribute points to enhance the [Flight Skill] in the [Flight] direction!]
[You have spent 1,000 gold coins and your [Flight Skill] has absorbed 5,000
Elite Essences!]
[Your [Flight Skill] enhancement has been sessful!]
Skill: Flight Skill (Fourth-turn) (once enhanced)
Level: 3
Cost: 1000/1 second
Effect: Can fly up to 2100 meters high, and move in the air at 55% of the spiritual power times 15.
Trait: High-speed Flight (Perfect) (Level 1) (Flight speed increased by 200%)
After spending over 40,000 gold coins, Dean McKenzie¡¯s speed increased dramatically.
It felt like a bicycle being propelled by a turbocharger, instantly reaching a speed thirty times higher than before!
And there¡¯s a saying, isn¡¯t there?
If you run fast enough, danger cannot catch you!
That was exactly Dean McKenzie¡¯s situation.
With an unparalleled speed, Dean McKenzie sessfully managed to escape from the Golden ins just before the sense of crisis in his heart truly exploded.
At the same time, right when Dean McKenzie left the Golden ins, the Golden Finger prompt appeared before his eyes.
[You have sessfully escaped from the [Master of Gold], earning you 3000 exploration points. Your current exploration points are 4110!]
Seeing this refreshed system prompt, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp, just for escaping from that so-called [Master of Gold], Dean McKenzie had received 3,000 exploration points. How terrifying must that creature be if he had tried to defeat it?
¡°It seems that the golden ins are moreplex than I thought. That so-called [Master of Gold] is surely a seventh-order being, and its quality definitely won¡¯t be less than extraordinary!
Too tough to provoke!¡±
After taking down the one-eyed Ogre tribe, Dean McKenzie had thought about continuing to grind in the Golden ins, but now, he hadpletely given up on that idea.
With such a terrifying being present, if Dean McKenzie continued, wouldn¡¯t that be effectively seeking death?
¡°Let¡¯s leave things here for now. I¡¯ve secured the base SS-level evaluation, now it¡¯s time to move to the next challenge!
If I canplete the first task as well, then I¡¯d have finished two challenge tasks ¨C double the tasks, double the fun!¡±
There are four challenge tasks in this dungeon instance.
Even though Dean McKenzie had gotten one for free, he hadn¡¯t nned on stopping there.
¡°It¡¯s a shame we can¡¯t do the second and third tasks. If we could, I¡¯d really like toplete all four tasks at once!
If that happened, then I would be four times happier!
Wait a second!¡±
In the middle of his speech, a bright idea hit Dean McKenzie.
¡°Come to think of it, while four times the joy might not be possible, three times the joy seems feasible, right?
The game rules don¡¯t say I can¡¯t switch alliances after I¡¯ve surrendered, do they?
I can surrender first, then defect right after. How surprised would they be!¡± The more Dean McKenzie thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling that this n was worth a try.
He could hardly resist jumping right into it on the spot.
¡°But I can¡¯t rush this, I need to n it out carefully. There¡¯s no time limit for this task anyway, I can take my time!
For now, let¡¯s sort through the loot from the one-eyed ogre tribe first.¡±
It was time once again for Dean McKenzie¡¯s favorite part: looting.
Undoubtedly, the biggest reward this time was the corpses from the one-eyed ogre tribe. Besides the bodies, there were also the light points left behind by the corpses, materials from the one-eyed ogre tribe, and a treasure chest that Old Six had found at the tribe site.
With a massive amount of items neatlyid before him, the entire scene was quite astonishing.
Dean McKenzie first assessed therge pile of items from the one-eyed ogre tribe site.
Most of the materials were things that were too tough to be eaten, like bones and stones; fruits and herbs that could be eaten were mostly consumed.
Those items the ogres couldn¡¯t eat were randomly stored around the tribe site. After Dean McKenzie took over the tribe, Old Six and others moved them to the Land of Bone.
Having skimmed through the items, Dean McKenzie figured out that the grade of these bones and stones wasn¡¯t low: at least rare, and even one or two items of extraordinary quality.
All valuable materials for equipment crafting..
Chapter 263:170 Income_2
Chapter 263:170 Ie_2
Trantor: 549690339
Unfortunately, Dean McKenzie did not have a high-level equipment cksmith on his side. Although there were some at the gathering ce, their levels were too low to use materials of this level.
However, when Dean was examining these items, he noticed that Old Six s demeanor was off, exhibiting significant wariness and tension, as if afraid
Dean would take these items away.
¡°Do you want them?
If you do, then just say it, how would I know you want them if you don t say¡
Holy crap, you just go for it!¡±
Before Dean could finish speaking, Old Six scooped up the items and walked away!
Just like that.
Apparently, Old Six has understood its status at home.
In this household, Old Six is the boss; whatever material it wants has to be offered to it first.
Of course, Old Six does have the right to this privilege.
Recently, Old Six¡¯s upgrade of the Bone Tomb shows promising progress, and it seems that mass production is about to be realized.
Once the Bone Tomb can be mass-produced, Old Six will be the boss of
the Land of Bone.
After Old Six took away the materials, Dean simply opened the light points and
chest together.
[You opened 675 light points, acquired 120,000 Gold Coms, 150 purple gold
coins]
[You obtained Golden Equipment: Strength is Power, Distant Mountain Shield]
[You obtained a Skill Stone: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn)]
[You obtained Materials: Heart of the Ogre King (Extraordinary)]
[You opened a chest, acquired 100 purple gold coins, item: Intermediate skill enhancement scroll!]
Over six hundred light points and a chest gave Dean massive amounts of items.
Among them, many were incredibly useful for Dean.
Like the two pieces of golden-quality equipment.
Equipment: Strength is Power (Gauntlet)
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Equipment requirement: Physique of 100,000
Effect 1: Strength is Power (Activation required. Upon activation, for 30 minutes, physique increases 3 times, every point of physique gets an additional 200 points of defense, and reflects 50% of the opponent¡¯s attack)
Effect 2: Physique increased by 2.1 times, Defense increased by 2.1 times
Effect 3: Increases Warrior skill level by 1 (max 12)
Equipment: Distant Mountain Shield
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Equipment requirement: Shield Warrior
Effect 1: Passively increases fixed defense by 3 times
Effect 2: Defense type skill level +2 (max 12)
Effect 3: Distant Mountain Defense (Passively increase the fixed defense of friendly units within 1000 meters by 20% of their own)
These two pieces were very suitable for Old Four, and Old Four is now equipped with them.
Although Old Four¡¯s official physique is only around 52,000, it has Defense Strengthen (B), which can passively increase their base defense by 300%.
Then there¡¯s Dean¡¯s Command Skeleton.
The physique of 52,000, under the boost, could reach 300,000, enough to equip these two pieces of equipment.
AfDeanter donning these two pieces of equipment, Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield immediately gained 3 levels, and its attributes took another terrifying leap.
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn) (1 Force)
Level: 2+3 (721 ten thousand/1000 ten thousand)
Consumption: 600,000 Spirit power
Effect: Once activated, the Guardian Shield is enabled. It links to five units and transfers the damage they receive to itself.
Passively increase physique by 29 times plus 280*50,000 fixed defense,
Nullifies thirty-nine percent of the damage
Trait: None
The attributes are simply terrifying.
Just the basic ADDITIONAL defense has reached 14 million, it¡¯s horrifying!
The stronger Old Four¡¯s defense, the stronger Dean¡¯s sense of security. ¡°Now with Old Four¡¯s defense, I wouldn¡¯t dare say against seven-turns, but he should be essentially invincible against six-turns, right?
Uh, that¡¯s not quite right, it¡¯s still not secure!
Old Four¡¯s trait is only [Perfect], if the opponent has the [Extraordinary] trait, whether Old Four¡¯s trait can offset it is still uncertain.
Well, we¡¯ll have to upgrade Old Four¡¯s traits when the Two Forces arrive. We need to get it at least to Extraordinary!¡±
Dean McKenzie thought to himself while focusing his attention on the remaining few items.
Skill Stone Stele: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn)
Usage requirements: Mage
Description: Permanent Skill Book, can be activated for 500 gold coins each time and can allow five mage units to acquire the [Meteorite Fall] skill inheritance each time.
PS: There¡¯s a chance of failing the inheritance
¡°500 gold coins each time, five at a time, isn¡¯t that essentially equivalent to too gold coins for one fifth-turn skill?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes lit up and he tried it out first thing, teaming up with Old
Six and three skeleton mages to start the inheritance.
[You obtained the [Meteorite Fall] inheritance, your skill [Small Meteorite Technique] has been upgraded to [Meteorite Fall]!]
[Your Wraith Servants failed to obtain the [Meteorite Fall] inheritance^]
After shelling out 500 gold coins, only Dean himself sessfully received the inheritance, all the other four including Old Six failed.
Only then did Dean realize just how high the chance of failure was for this transfer.
¡°An 80 percent failure rate?
No, that¡¯s strange, maybe it¡¯s because I learnt the [Small Meteorite Technique], otherwise I may have failed too, it looks like the failure rate could be above ny percent.¡±
After roughly estimating the failure rate, Dean was a little disappointed, but he first checked out the new skill he had acquired.
Dean had just tried it for fun initially and hadn¡¯t expected that he, at fourth-turn, would actually learn a fifth-turn skill. Wouldn¡¯t it be best to take a good look at it?
Skill: Meteorite Fall (Fifth-turn)
Skill Level: Level 1 (500 thousand)
Magic Consumption: 250 thousand mana Effects: Summons a meteorite to strike the target, causing instant damage of 32 times the spiritual power plus 500 thousand magic strength.
After the meteoritends, it causes 40% of the momentary damage as impact damage to the surroundings, with damage decreasing by 10% for every additional too meters of impact range.
PS: This skill can be cast in conjunction, with each additional mage chanting, the skill damage will increase by fifty percent
Dean looked at the properties of this skill, and his eyes lit up in an instant.
Just a single [Meteorite Fall] on its own seemed rather ordinary, not very remarkable among the fifth-turn skills.
But the fact that it could be cast in conjunction made a significant difference.
For each additional caster, damage increases by fifty percent, 2 bring it to 100%, 20 to 1000%, 200 to 10000%!
Dean suddenly realized, this skill seemed very promising! ¡°Maybe, I can try creating a Skeleton Mage Group next! Not just for this one [Meteorite Fall], I can round up more skills that can be cast in conjunction.
Yeah, since the mages have such a skill that can be cast conjointly, then the archers, warriors, shield warriors, knights, etc. should have them as well, right?¡±
Speaking of which, Dean couldn¡¯t help but have his eyes light up.
If he could get hold of arge number of conjoint skills, then thebat power of his skeleton legion would definitely get a huge boost.
¡°Push other things aside for now, first create a Mage Legion!¡±
Dean said, while handling thest two items.
The [Heart of the One-eyed Ogre King] is an extraordinary quality material that can be used for refining medicine, making equipment, and even for the promotion quest. It just couldn¡¯t be eaten directly.
Dean yed with it for a while, tossed it to Old Eight, and told him to ask Old Six if he wanted it.
In the end, he picked up the[Intermediate Skill Enhancement Scroll].

Pimii Church was one of the churches on the outskirts of the Holy Light Kingdom.
Located on the periphery of the Abandoned Land, it was quite a remote ce. However, in this border church of the Holy Light Kingdom, there was a man who originally was a core figure in the Holy Light Kingdom ¨C Kyle Hiller, the bishop of Pimii Church.
The fact that he was given the title ¡®Holy Light¡¯ suggests how high Pimii¡¯s original status was in the Holy Light Kingdom.
From a young age, he exhibited an extraordinary talent for ¡®Holy Light.¡¯ By the age of ten, he had be a second-order powerholder.
At the age of 18, he became a peak six-tier entity.
In the holynd of the Church of Holy Light, he received the Extraordinary Temte and was given the ¡®Holy Light¡¯ title.
No one doubted that, if he continued on his life trajectory, he would be the holy son of the Church of Holy Light, and perhaps even the future Pope. Sadly, his remarkable life came to a halt at the age of 21.
He failed his attempt to break into the seventh tier.
The temte shattered, dropping him directly from extraordinary to simply great.
After the decline in the quality of his temte, his status declined as well.
From a core figure in the Church of Holy Light, he began to rapidly lose status. However much apuse and flowers he had received, he now faced an equal amount of mockery and disdain.
From heaven to the earthly world, it took him just a month.
Now, he had been stuck in this remote region for a full five years!
What¡¯s scarier was that he seemed to have epted his fate, living in a daze day after day, spending his time with alcohol.
In five years, this former prodigy, former Son of Light, had be a middle-aged slob with a bloated physique.
Decadence ages people!
Now, he bore no traces of his former vigor.
His abilities had declined severely.
So much so that he hadn¡¯t even noticed a skeleton approaching him.
Only when a hard object prodded his back did he suddenly snap awake, abruptly getting up and roaring, ¡°Who! Who dares to mess with me!¡±
At this time, he regained some of his former charisma, quite imposingly at that, but he quickly raised his hands as a dagger was ced against his throat.
Simultaneously, a death threat assailed him, bringing him to tears: ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t kill me, I, I don¡¯t want¡¡±
Kyle¡¯s pleading was cut off as something was thrust into his hand.
Kyle was taken aback, squinting to identify what was in his hand ¡ª it seemed to be a long-rangemunication device.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s voice echoed from the device: ¡°Mr. Kyle, do you want merit or not? If you do, I¡¯m here to deliver it to you!¡±
Kyle was stunned in ce.
About ten minutester, the old eight retreated from behind Kyle.
The dagger removed from his neck and the sense of impending death gone, Kyle Hiller copsed.
He remained dazed for quite a while.
Only after a good ten minutes did he regain his senses, his face flushing with excitement.
¡°Five years, five years. Do you know how I¡¯ve spent these five years?
In these five years, I have been waiting for a chance, a chance I have finally found today!¡±
People subconsciously embellish their own actions, although he had wasted the past five years inplete decadence.
But that¡¯s irrelevant, what¡¯s important is that there¡¯s now an opportunity in front of him.
As long as he can seize it and turn the tables, no one can use him of truly wasting these five years.
¡°Grabbing this opportunity, I have to firmly grasp this chance!¡±
But firmly grasping this opportunity is not an easy task.
Dean McKenzie made no secret that he wasn¡¯t just reaching out to him. Whoever offered Dean the highest price would receive the opportunity.
Kyle didn¡¯t know who else Dean had contacted, but he was clearly aware that if he relied solely on his current situation, the degraded version of him living the past five years barely making ends meet, he wouldn¡¯t be able to offer Dean a satisfactory price in thepetition.
So this former prodigy, former Holy Son, who had been decadent for five years, for the first time, reached out to the contacts from five years ago to find the teacher who was still at the core of the Holy Light Kingdom.
The first sentence he uttered was, ¡°Teacher, help me!
I want to stand up again!¡±
The Abandoned Land!
At this time, it had been half a month since Dean McKenzie left Golden in.
In this half a month, Dean roamed the edge of the Abandoned Land, with old eight constantly making moves, and up to now, he had found dozens of bishops to ry his intention to defect.
Of course, the chances aren¡¯t great just based on Dean¡¯s wish to defect.
But if Dean added the ¡®Crystal Heart,¡¯ the situation would be different.
Take Kabba Raven for example, he found a ¡®Crystal Heart¡¯ and leaped from being a small town bishop to getting the opportunity to enter the holynd of the Church of Holy Light, with potential to be the holy son of the Church of Holy Light, or even the Pope in the future.
With the example of Kabba Raven in front of them, no one could stay indifferent to the meritorious service that Dean was offering up.
¡°If they want to secure this merit, there are two choices, one is to directly seize me.
The other is to give me a satisfactory price!¡±
What choice they make, will all depend on them!¡±
This matter carries certain risks, Dean knew.
Although Dean chose partners who were six-turn, and most of them had knives held to their throats by old eight..

But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t think such threats could keep them in line.
As long as there¡¯s a hundred percent benefit, some people will dare to risk their lives.
Andpared to persuading Dean McKenzie with price, persuading him physically and capturing Dean McKenzie would be a profit without a basis. No, it would be profit with no original capital!
This is something people will definitely do.
¡°ording to my previous performances, ordinary six-turns certainly can¡¯t get me, it would take six-turns of extraordinary quality to have hope.
But as far as I know, beings of extraordinary quality are also exceptional in the Holy Light Kingdom, they may not even want the merits I bring.
So, if they want to persuade me physically, they may have to bring out a seven ¨C turn existence!¡±
Having to face a seven-turn existence is quite a pressure for Dean McKenzie.
¡°Damn it, I¡¯ve said it, I don¡¯t want to have cross-level battles!
Fighting a seven-turn with a fourth-turn, this isn¡¯t cross-level anymore, it¡¯s spanning species.
A fourth-turn may have an intermediate trait, a seven-turn may also have a high-level trait.
Although my current level is not low, I¡¯m still a bit, alright, rather nervous when facing a seven-turn!¡±
Dean McKenzie calcted his own fighting power.
The strongest attack is Old Nine¡¯s Death Arrow triggering 50 times the attack, the strongest defense is Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield.
No matter which one of the two, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t have any confidence that they could block a seventh-order existence¡¯s attack or break their defense.
¡°I can¡¯t confront them directly, so I can only try to avoid facing a seven-progression strongman.
Also, always prepare for the worst.
I¡¯ll take down a few churches first, this way at least I have double the reward in case the surrender n fails.¡±
As for, after taking down the churches will I still be able to surrender?
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t worry about it for now, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, he¡¯ll eat what he can first.
As for the initial n of surrender and betray?
Dean McKenzie said, ns are meant to be continually corrected.
If it¡¯s not suitable anymore, then this n has to change.
Then, Dean McKenzie started his action!
It¡¯s a simple thing for Dean McKenzie with his current strength to take down three churches.
But however he does it, Dean McKenzie thinks it should be done elegantly.
Can¡¯t just randomly select a church.
That¡¯s too simple and crude!
¡°Let¡¯s start with this one!¡±
Dean McKenzie squinted his eyes, and instantly had his first candidate.
At the edge of the Abandoned Land, Kasey Church.
One of the ten odd churches Dean McKenzie contacted.
At the same time, among these ten odd churches, it¡¯s one of the few that acted indifferent about this matter.
It¡¯s not that the Cassie Bishop of this church doesn¡¯t like this merit.
But he rationally knows that there are things you can covet, and for some things, you can¡¯t even think about coveting.
After all, among the marginal figures of the Holy Light Kingdom, he¡¯s just one of the marginal figures. As a five-turn rare temte bishop, someone like him is quite good to be a bishop of a marginal city.
He couldn¡¯t and shouldn¡¯t have any further aspirations!
Let alone the great merit of Dean McKenzie!
If Dean McKenzie only informed him, he might still have a bit of idea, but when he knew that he¡¯s just one of the selected, he wouldpletely lie low.
Can¡¯t fight for it, can¡¯tpete at all!
Since can¡¯tpete, then don¡¯t, keeping low profile is always the safest, right?
He has kept low profile, they won¡¯t trouble him, right?
But then, one night when he was asleep, suddenly he felt his mind buzzing, when he woke up he saw an unfamiliar ceiling¡ no, it¡¯s blinding sunlight! ¡¯
He looked around, and nothing was there!
The huge church was gone, demolished overnight without even a piece of the floor left!
The bishop became dumbfounded at the time.
What¡¯s happening? What¡¯s the move?
Who did it?
After a good while, he finally saw a line of big characters on the ground!
¡°Gave you a chance, but you¡¯re useless!¡±
Looking at these words, the honest bishop trembled, his face turned pale and his fists clenched tightly: ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±
Overnight, the Cassie Bishop, whose church was emptied, knew very clearly that he basically has no choice now.
Either he tries to snatch this merit, or he rebuilds the church!
Facing these two choices, Cassie Bishop chose thetter.
He was prepared to take out his decades of savings to rebuild the church, but when he touched his body, he found himselfpletely peniless.
At this moment, he couldn¡¯t hold back anymore: ¡°Why are you forcing me? Why are you forcing me?
I just wanted to be an obedient bishop, why do you have to force me!¡±
Cassie Bishop¡¯s experience is quite tragic, but he wasn¡¯t the only one!
In fact, the target chosen by Dean McKenzie to make a move was these honest folks.
Dean McKenzie carefully checked the ten odd people he contacted, those who have taken actions, Dean McKenzie left them to the end, he chose several guys who are clearly lying low to make a targeted move.
Using six days, he demolished five churches!
No harm done to the people, but the property was basically emptied.
Even though they were just five edge city churches in the Holy Light Kingdom, it still brought significant earnings to Dean McKenzie..

The construction materials of the church, especially those of the church core, are quite exceptional.
For each core, Dean McKenzie needs to consume at least 500 to 1000 skeletons in order topletely drain the Power of Holy Light, allowing him to take it and move it.
The expressions on Old Six¡¯s face were interesting when these construction materials were brought back.
It was like the mixed feelings of joy and disgust when seeing a child who had not been seen for a week fall into a cesspit.
Apart from these construction materials, Dean McKenzie also scraped up over 50,000 gold coins and arge amount of items rted to the Holy Light from the five churches.
[Holy Light Priest Book Inheritance][Holy Light Hammer Book Inheritance][Holy Light Ritual Book Inheritance][Holy Light Transformation n][Holy Light Fortitude Body Book Inheritance]¡
Loads of stuff!
Besides, the most important gain for Dean McKenzie was the task rewards, without a doubt.
[You havepletely destroyed 5 Holy Light churches. The task of [Holy Light Destruction Journey] is aplished, you can now get S-level rewards for the task settlement!]
Five small churches brought Dean McKenzie and S-level reward, which he did not expect.
The main reason is that Dean McKenzie did it the right way.
In general, the Church of Holy Light would be rmed as soon as a church of Holy Light was destroyed. With two churches of Holy Light destroyed, the Church of Holy Light would take action.
Once the number of destroyed churches exceeds three, the Church of Holy Light wouldn¡¯t simply take action, but at least a Seven-turn entity would be sent to kill.
But the churches destroyed by Dean McKenzie were all those of honest people.
The churches were destroyed, but the people were still there!
This left those honest individuals in a quandary. Should they report it or not? Reporting would lead to punishment. Not reporting it might give them a chance to take credit for taking down Dean McKenzie.
Or they can rebuild their churches and keep it a secret.
As a result, Dean McKenzie¡¯s church demolitions went smoothly, and the Church of Holy Light may not have known that five churches had been demolished.
The other thing is, Dean must have been thorough in dismantling the church. From beginning to end, hepletely emptied the entire church, even without leaving a piece of floor tile.
Such thorough demolition or destruction would naturally make Dean McKenzie¡¯s evaluation higher.
This high evaluation made Dean McKenzie be tempted and he couldn¡¯t help but want to demolish one or two more churches to see if he could raise the evaluation to SS Level, and collect another SS grade for free!
¡°Ah, why did I say ¡®again¡¯?¡±
Scratching his head, Dean McKenzie threw the thought aside and said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll leave it alone. I don¡¯t know if the surrender n can bepleted. Should I do several more jobs on my side? Maybe, eh!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s words were cut off by a sudden system notice in his ear.
¡°[Your [Wraith Servant] Doggy Six, haspleted the construction of the [Bone Cathedral]!]¡±
¡°What¡¯s going on?
Isn¡¯t Old Six supposed to be upgrading the [Bone Tomb]?
Howe a [Bone Cathedral] has been built?¡±
With puzzlement and curiosity, Dean McKenzie opened the door to the Land of Bone.
As soon as the door was opened, Dean saw a bizarre building in front of him.
It was a mini version of the Holy Light Church, only three meters high, and its outeryer was nailed full of skulls.
At the sight of the cathedral, the attributes of this thing appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Building: Bone Cathedral
Level: Basic 3-star
Description: The cathedral built by Architect Old Six, inspired by the Holy Light Church
Effect: Opens once a month, performs an [Evil Baptism] on units within a thousand meters¡¯ range.
There¡¯s a ten percent chance of awakening the [Persistent Believer] (Elite) profession for the baptized
There¡¯s a one percent chance of awakening the [Insane Believer] (Excellent) profession for the baptized
There¡¯s a one in a thousand chance of awakening the [Evil Priest Apprentice][Fallen Holy Knight Apprentice] (Rare) profession for the baptized There¡¯s a one in ten thousand chance of awakening the [ughter Priest][Bloody Holy Knight] (Perfect) profession for the baptized
Looking at the attributes of this thing, Dean McKenzie had to admit that it is a very strong building.
I wonder if the skeletons can trigger this baptism.
This is of the utmost importance to Dean McKenzie. If the skeletons can trigger this baptism, then each month Dean would get arge amount of elite or better temtes and essences.
Dean McKenzie would never think that these two things are too many.
Moreover, if the baptism results in a strong profession, he can keep it to strengthen his skeleton legion.
So Dean tried it on the spot.
The good news is that this thing can be used on Dean¡¯s skeletons. The bad news is that a Basic 3-star building can only be used on 3-turn skeletons, and Dean¡¯s skeleton base is on the 5-turn.
So, the situation is clear now.
If Dean simply wants to farm temtes or essence, it¡¯s no problem, he just needs the Land of Bone to spawn 3-turn skeletons.
But if he wants to use the baptized skeletons to bolster his Wraith Army, it¡¯s a bit difficult.
3-turn skeletons have little use in Dean¡¯s Wraith Army.
¡°Anyway, it¡¯s a nice building! Old Six, well done!¡±
Dean McKenzie patted Old Six on the shoulder in appreciation, and also tactfully suggested that Old Six should mainly focus on the [Bone Tomb]. This thing is of paramount importance!
Dean McKenzie had a feeling that whether his fighting power could undergo a transformationpletely depended on when the [Bone Tomb] was upgraded and when it could be built inrge quantities.
But regarding the [Bone Tomb], Old Six said it wasn¡¯t really in the moodtely.
It argued that all creators have this problem, and there are always a few days every month when they don¡¯t feel like working!
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t bear that.
What, creators can stop working when they don¡¯t feel like it?
What kind of logic is that?
Those online writers Dean knew before he transposed, which one of them didn¡¯t feel like working for thirty-three days out of a month of thirty? Didn¡¯t they still have to write like a dog?
Even more heart-wrenching was the fact that they didn¡¯t have many subscriptions, they didn¡¯t make enough money in a month to regrow their hair, what could they say?
Old Six was born in fortune and doesn¡¯t know it!
So, Dean severely criticized Old Six.
How could you push yourself like that?
If you don¡¯t want to work, take a break, you need to bnce work and rest.
If Old Six exhausts itself with too much effort, Dean as its owner will be heartbroken!
This attitude made Old Eight and Old Two envious.
When would their owner treat them like he treats Old Six!
After spending more than half an hour at the Land of Bone, Dean left.
Just as he was about to randomly pick a Lucky Archbishop to demolish his house, one of the severalmunication devices he had sent out sounded.
Someone wanted to meet him and give him a quote!

In the Holy Light Kingdom, on the verge of Abandoned Land, inside the City of Joys, in the Holy Light Church, the City of Joys¡¯ Bishop Cassian quietly awaited Dean McKenzie¡¯s arrival!
This was the bishop who had proposed a deal to Dean McKenzie.
Dean¡¯s response to him was that he would meet him tonight, which made Cassian particrly anxious.
A grand scheme can¡¯t be executed if it can¡¯t be contained; it all depends on tonight!
The time quickly reached the agreed time, but there was still no sign of Dean.
Cassian, restless, couldn¡¯t help but stand up and walk around!
But as soon as he got up, a dagger was pointed at his back, causing Cassian to shudder and raise his hands.
¡°Don¡¯t be rash! I genuinely want to help you abandon the darkness, my contribution to your decision to leave the dark side is significant!
¡°You¡.¡±
¡°Enough, shut up!¡±
¡°Snap!¡±
Before Cassian could finish speaking, he heard a cold snort from his back, followed by the sound of bones shattering.
Cassian looked around, surprised.
To find that the skeleton, who had just threatened him with a dagger, was now dismantled.
And standing next to the dismantled skeleton was a middle-aged man in golden armor, wielding a one-handed sword.
This middle-aged man was the head of the Cassian family, named as Cassio, and one of the few seven-turn individuals in the Church of Holy Light. He hade, especially for Dean McKenzie.
At this moment, Cassio¡¯s gaze was entirely fixed on the skeleton assassin he had dismantled.
¡°A perfect quality skeleton assassin, this little mouse seems to have a bit of power!
And cautious enough to send his skeletons, hiding himself in the dark!
His power seems weak, and the exposure short!
Hiding like this in front of a seventh level Holy knight? Does it work?¡±
Cassio said while using a [Detect Evil] on the skeleton
The next second, a dark line appeared in Cassio s sight!
¡°There!¡±
With that, Cassio took off into the air. As a seventh level individual, even if he was a warrior, he had basic flight skills. He soared into the air and transformed into a beam of holy light, rushing towards the abandonednd outside the City of Joys!
He was pretty fast.
It didn¡¯t take long for him to cover several Km¡¯s, and he found Dean McKenzie, who was hiding dozens of kilometers away from the City of Joys.
¡°Found you!¡±
Cassio smirkly smiled, preparing tond. However, it seemed Dean had also noticed him and quickly began to fly in panic.
¡°Flight Skill? A Necromancer can control flight skills? That¡¯s quite impressive. But judging from his speed, it¡¯s much slower than the original version. This kind of flight skill won¡¯t escape from me!¡±
If it were an original flight skill, even if Cassio was a seventh level warrior, it would be tough for him to catch up.
Because his version of flying is nothing more than a burst of Spirit Power, and can only fool those who can¡¯t fly, against a real flyer he¡¯d very likely be struggling.
Luckily, Dean¡¯s speed was not rapid, and Cassio thought he should be able to catch up.
With this delusion, he elerated to keep up closely with Dean, following him in circles.
Throughout the process, Dean appeared to be trying his best, yet was about to be caught up.
This made Cassio particrly excited.
But just as he thought he was about to catch Dean, a shocking scene unfolded. Dean, who was slowly dragging ahead of him, suddenly ¡°swooshed¡± and disappeared before his eyes.
The speed was so fast that Cassio didn¡¯t even see the trace of Dean¡¯s flight path.
Cassio¡¯s facial expression darkened.
By now, he had figured out that Dean was just toying with him.
Here he was, a seventh level Holy warrior, being yed by a fourth-turn Wraith Controller. The thought was so infuriating he nearly spat out blood on the spot!
But this was not what made him most resentful.
What made it worse was when he returned to the City of Joys filled with rage, only to discover that Holy Light Church had beenpletely disassembled. Obviously, Dean must have intended to distract him to effectively divide and conquer.
Looking at the dismantled Church of the City of Joys, Cassio clenched his fists.
¡°Good, very good!¡±
This seventh level Holy Warrior was very angry, and the consequences were severe!
As for Dean McKenzie, his current mood was rather good.
In fact, when Cassian shared information, Wild Intuition had told Dean that this trip could be dangerous though not excessively so.
That¡¯s why Dean had made this n.
But what Dean was happy about now was not because his n had been sessful.
More importantly, through this encounter, he had gained a clear understanding of his speed.
With the full use of his Flight Skill, even a Seventh-turn Holy Warrior would be unable to catch up with him.
¡°At least, when confronted with a seventh-turn level individual, I have a mobility advantage.
No, not when I face a seventh level individual, but when I face this individual, a Seventh-turn Holy Warrior.
If other seventh level entities are excellent at speed and flight like me, my speed may not give me any advantage. But I do have an advantage against this Holy Warrior.
It seems that I need to focus on improving my Flight Skill in the future. It¡¯s best to upgrade it further at level 3 and upgrade the [High-speed Flight] to [Extraordinary] Quality!
Only then can I ensure my mobility advantage!¡±
Chapter 268:172 Levels cleared_2
Chapter 268:172 Levels cleared_2
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie knew how to amplify his advantage.
However, he had to address the immediate issue of facing a seven-turn Holy Warrior before building on this advantage.
Even though he got away smoothly, the Holy Warrior still exerted enormous pressure on him.
Even without any physical contact, a brief encounter was enough for Dean to sense the overwhelming strength of the Holy Warrior, or more specifically, the power embedded in a seven-turn being.
It was a power he currently did not have the courage to confront frontally.
¡°Then I just won¡¯t confront it!
I¡¯ll utilize my current definite advantage, expand on my triumphs, create a big scene, and draw more people into the matter.
I may be helpless against a single seven-turn being, but if there are more, I might stand a chance of winning.
Of course, if it¡¯s not feasible, it doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ve already got double joy.
If all else fails, I¡¯ll just make a run for it!¡±
Saying this, Dean took action.
While Cassio was still in the City of Joys, Dean took a detour to another church in the outskirts of the Abandoned Land. There, his skeletons demolished yet another Holy Light Church.
So far, Dean had brought down seven Holy Light Churches.
And the current evaluation of his rewards has reached S+, which should be close to reaching the SS-level.
¡°Bringing down another church should do it. If the rest do not offer me a satisfactory deal, I¡¯ll withdraw!¡±
Upon saying this, Dean picked up amunication device and sent a message to the remaining churches.
He used them of being dishonorable for getting a shameless seven-turn Holy Warrior, Cassio, to sneak-attack him.
¡°Even though I genuinely want to abandon the dark side and return to the embrace of the Holy Light, if you truly can¡¯t ept me, I won¡¯t surrender without a fight. I will give you three more days. If you can¡¯t give me a satisfactory offer by then, I¡¯m out!¡±
Dean delivered his ultimatum in a firm and resolute tone to the remaining eight or nine Holy Light Church bishops.
His message was intended to create an atmosphere of being forced into a corner, to reveal information about Cassio¡¯s intervention, forcing those who were interested into action!
As for whether it will be effective?
Honestly, Dean didn¡¯t hold much hope for it.
He was just hoping to stall Cassio for some time and give him a chance to bring down the eighth Holy Light Church.
The following developments exceeded Dean¡¯s expectations.
Not long after he sent the message, a bishop called Kyle Hiller contacted him.
Kyle directly threw his shocking offer at Dean through themunication device!
¡°Mr. McKenzie, what I can assure you is that¡
If you can abandon the dark side, hand over the Crystal Heart, I will revoke your warrant for arrest and give you the extraordinary Profession Temte of the Necromancer for six-turn, called the ¡®Record of the Wraith Scourge¡¯.
At the same time, I will give you 5000 purple gold coins, a piece of six-turn tinum-level Necromancer Equipment.
Moreover, I will grant you the identity of a ¡®Savior of Holy Light¡¯!
You may not know what ¡®Savior of Holy Light¡¯ means. Here¡¯s an exnation: Once you be a ¡®Savior of Holy Light¡¯, you will enjoy a superior status in the Holy Light Church.
Apart from the Holy Son and the Pope, no one cany hands on you!¡±
Upon contacting Dean, Kyle went straight to the point, throwing out one shocking condition after another. Listening to these conditions, Dean nearly salivated.
However, even though the offer was tempting, Dean didn¡¯t give an answer immediately.
After all, there was no ounce of trust between them.
Kyle seemed well-prepared for this.
¡°To show our sincerity, we will first get rid of that Holy Warrior who attacked you previously.
And, we will give you the status badge of the ¡®Savior of Holy Light¡¯ and a suitable gift. You can pick these things up from the Pimii Church at any time!¡±
The other party was showing unequivocally good faith.
Dean hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head!
¡°Fine, let me see that guy leave first. Then I will send someone to collect the items. We¡¯ll discuss everything else after I confirm your sincerity!¡±
¡°Great!¡±
Kyle Hiller promptly nodded in agreement: ¡°Cassio is currently in the church of the City of Quicksand, you can send someone over to take a look!¡±
Subsequently, Dean sent a group of Skeleton Assassins to infiltrate the specified location.
Dean admitted he was gambling, but with control over leaving the copy room at any time, he thought there wasn¡¯t much risk in it.
If anything went wrong, Dean could leave at any time.
However, what happened next took Dean by surprise.
Kyle did as he promised.
As soon as Dean¡¯s skeleton assassins got close to the City of Quicksand, they saw Cassio rise into the sky in a rage and leave with grandiose air.
Upon seeing this, Dean¡¯s skeletons immediately moved to demolish the church in the City of Quicksand.
As the eighth church was brought down by Dean, the system prompt on his side started updating.
[You¡¯vepletely destroyed 8 Holy Light Churches. Your mission ¡°The Beginning of Holy Light Destruction¡± ispleted. You can currently receive an SS-level reward!]
Another SS-level reward was achieved.
Presently, Dean held two SS-level rewards. If the Crystal Heart could enhance them, Dean could receive two SSS-level rewards..

The profits this time were significantlyrger than those from the previous missions.
Despite the huge reward in front of him, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t stop there. He sent someone to Pimii Church.
They had been true to their word, so Dean couldn¡¯t let himself fall short either.
Even if they had set a trap for him, he could just run away.
However, it seemed that they hadn¡¯tid any traps.
Dean¡¯s skeleton sessfully arrived at Pimii Church and returned with the item without any trouble.
After acquiring the item,
although Dean was reassured of a smooth withdrawal, he was still extremely cautious along the way.
He had the items transported by different skeletons to avoid risks. After much effort, the items finally reached Dean¡¯s hands.
Then, Dean saw the following items.
Item: Holy Light Redeemer Medal
Description: A special item from the Church of Holy Light, issued to heretics who have made outstanding contributions to the Church. Wearing this medal provides immunity to attacks from Holy Light Professions below Seven-turn.
Furthermore, any former faults of the wearer cannot be pursued in any form.
Not even the Holy Pope has the right to punish the wearer unless theymit an unforgivable sin against the Holy Light.
PS: However, holding this medal doesn¡¯t automatically make you its bearer. There is a necessary procedure. You holding it only means you are a candidate.
Item: Oath Book
Description: A powerful pledge artifact. Once a pledge is signed on the Oath Book, it cannot be broken, or the consequence would be losing your life.
PS: The current Oath Book already has Kyle Hiller¡¯s signature on it. He made a promise that if you give up the Crystal Heart, he will help you be a Holy Light Redeemer and give you all the items he promised.
Skill Book: Wraith Summoning (Enhanced) (Fifth-turn)
Description: An enhanced fifth-turn Necromancer Skill Book.
[You receive ¡®Holy Light Redeemer¡¯ and earn 1500 exploration points, your current exploration points are now 6000!]
Looking at these three items, Dean couldn¡¯t help but squint his eyes.
He had to admit, he was a little startled by the scale of the other party¡¯s offerings. ¡°They¡¯ve gone to such lengths, it seems I really don¡¯t have a reason to refuse. The Crystal Heart may be important, but I only have a shard. Trading it for these items may not be a bad idea.¡±
¡°Worst case scenario, once I¡¯m more powerful, I¡¯ll just seize it back!¡±
Even after entertaining this thought, Dean shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s easy to say, but taking it back may not be so simple once it¡¯s gone. And if I give it up, I can¡¯t upgrade my dungeon¡¯s evaluation anymore, and that means losing two SSS-level rewards!¡±
Now, Dean was in a dilemma. He wanted these items, but was reluctant to give up the Crystal Heart.
Left with no choice, Dean had to see if he could trick the other party into handing over the items without giving up the Crystal Heart.
Picking up themunicator, Dean contacted the other party, ¡°Mr. Kyle, I can see your sincerity. I¡¯m tempted, but I still have my doubts. I can¡¯t give up the Crystal Heart that easily. How about this, can you give me some time? Let me transition first, I don¡¯t have to be a ¡®Holy Light Redeemer¡¯ immediately. Let me forsake darkness and confess my sins, even under your name, let me be your nominal Redeemer!¡±
Through the books obtained from the Church of Holy Light, Dean had learned a lot more about the Church.
He learned about the existence of ¡°Redeemers¡±.
A Redeemer, as the Church of Holy Light described, was a heretic who repented his past sins.
Something like a bandit who has been justice-bound.
Dean¡¯s request caught Kyle off guard a bit.
He wasn¡¯t sure why Dean would make such a request.
After some deep consideration, he believed Dean might eitherck trust in the Church of Holy Light or need some time to adjust.
Or he was simply keeping his options open, trying to see if someone else might offer a better deal. And if someone did, Dean would run off with them instead!
Realizing this, Kyle became rmed.
He raised his offer to Dean, ¡°Mr. McKenzie, besides the Six-turn Extraordinary Temte, I can also seek a Seven-turn Legendary Temte clue for you. This is my final offer for you to think over. As for the Redeemer identity, I can give it to you right away!¡±
After stating his offer, Kyle immediately ended the call with Dean.
Soon after, a system notification appeared before Dean¡¯s eyes.
[Confirmed that you¡¯ve been granted the ¡®Kyle Hiller¡¯ Redeemer status approved and reported by the Holy Light Kingdom, sessfullypleted the mission ¡®Regret of the Burning Holy Light¡¯, you currently qualify for S-level rewards upon mission settlement!]
Seeing the system notification, Dean was immediately hit with a huge wave of joy.
¡°You¡¯ve got to hand it to this guy named Kyle, he¡¯s quite generous. I like him!¡±
With that, Dean sessfully obtained his third ¡°joy¡±.
Having gotten the third joy, Dean didn¡¯t want to push his luck, so he decided to cash out.
¡°System, I want to leave, start the reward settlement!¡±
Well, Dean has had his share of benefits. If he stayed longer, he¡¯d only face danger, the type of danger a fourth-turn mage like him couldn¡¯t handle. If he didn¡¯t run, wasn¡¯t he waiting to be devoured?
Of course, Dean realized that if he ran now, he may suffer a bit the next time he came here.
But the next time was still a while away. As for now, he would enjoy the benefits he could get.
Indeed, when he gets merciless, he spares no one, not even himself.
[Reward settlement initiated, the current dungeon run is concluded!]
The system notifications started to refresh¡.

[You will receive the following rewards]:
1,?? One [Intermediate Skill Fusion Enhancement Scroll]
2,?? One [Equipment Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] (tinum)
3,?? One [Item Upgrade Enhancement Scroll]
4,?? One [Skill Upgrade Enhancement Scroll]
5,?? One piece of tinum Growth-Type Professional Equipment
6,?? One [Trait Enhancement Scroll] (Extraordinary)
[Your deputy profession [Secret Realm Explorer]¡¯s skill [Secret Realm Exploration] has taken effect, you have obtained an [Exploration Treasure Chest]!]
The first batch of reward settlement appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze immediately fell onto the promised items.
[Intermediate Skill Fusion Enhancement Scroll] (Can be used for intermediate skill fusion enhancement, the sess rate of the fusion enhancement is 100%)
[Equipment Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] (tinum) (Can upgrade a piece of Gold quality equipment to level 140 and upgrade its quality to tinum)
[Item Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] (Can upgrade and enhance items)
[Skill Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] (Can be used on a specific skill to increase the skill level from 1 to 5 levels and will enhance the skill once)
[Trait Enhancement Scroll] (Can increase trait level by one, at most to an Extraordinary level)
¡°Did I just stumble upon a stockpile of scrolls? Why do I have so many scrolls?
Still, I have to say, these scrolls are more impressive one than the other!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze scanned the scrolls and he immediately decided on how to use some of them.
¡°The [Equipment Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] should be used on the Holy Light Sword, which can help me increase my [Holy Light Resistance] trait. Upgrading it to tinum should be enough to raise my [Holy Light Resistance] to the Perfect level. Coupled with using the [Trait Enhancement Scroll], my [Holy Light Resistance] should reach an Extraordinary quality.¡±
Having messed with his next instance run, Dean McKenzie must do some preparation for his next entry into an instance.
If he could raise the [Holy Light Resistance] to the Extraordinary level before the next entry, he would undoubtedly be more rxed when facing the Church of Holy Light.
Also, this could alsopensate for Dean McKenzie¡¯s shorings when his Necromancer is restrained by the Holy Light Profession.
¡°As for the [Item Enhancement Scroll], I¡¯ll use it on the [Blessing of the Immortals], I haven¡¯t used the life-saving item I gotst time. No one wouldin about having such a powerful life-saving tool!
As for the [Intermediate Skill Fusion Enhancement], its 100% sess rate is too attractive. I wonder if it can be used to enhance [Summon Skeleton] and [Summon Skeletons]. If possible, I definitely want to use it on these two skill fusions.¡±
Finally, there¡¯s the [Skill Upgrade Enhancement Scroll].
I¡¯m not sure if this scroll, having not mentioned ¡®basic¡¯, can be used on skills that have already been enhanced!¡±
Dean McKenzie said this, his eyes sweeping over his densely packed attribute view.
They fell first on [Flight Skill],
In this instance, Dean McKenzie had experienced the mobility advantage brought by [Flight Skill],
He had been preparing to expand this advantage.
After a trial, Dean McKenzie was pleasantly surprised to find that the tool could be used on [Flight Skill].
His reflex was to use it!
But just before he did, Dean McKenzie suddenly stopped.
¡®T¡¯ve alreadye out of the instance, and since I¡¯m out, I should be pretty safe. After all, the most powerful member of the Giant Bear Tribe, the Seventh Change Strongman, seems to be a closebat warrior. I should be able to escape in front of him with my Flight Skill, so there is no need to hurry to enhance it just yet.
After all, a tool that can instantly raise 1 to 5 levels is certainly more cost-effective the higher the level.
Plus, I¡¯m not sure upgrading this skill is the best oue. I¡¯d better keep this thing in reserve and take it out when I need it!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, as he put away the [Skill Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] and [Intermediate Skill Fusion Enhancement Scroll],
At the same time, he used the [Equipment Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] (tinum) and the [Item Enhancement Scroll],
[You have sessfully used the [Equipment Upgrade Enhancement Scroll] (tinum) on the [Holy Light Sword]]!]
[You have sessfully used the [Item Enhancement Scroll] on the [Blessing of the Immortals]]!]

Dean McKenzie took a look at both items¡¯ enhancement.
Whether it was the enhancement of the ¡°Blessing of the Undead¡± or the ¡°Holy Light Sword¡±, Dean McKenzie was quite satisfied with the results.
The enhancement was very good.
As for the ¡°Blessing of the Undead¡±, a tool that could only be used once turned into two uses, and the ability to counterattack ten times the damage turned into a hundred times.
With this thing by his side, Dean McKenzie felt that he could possibly confront a seven-turn existence unafraid.
The upgrade of the ¡°Holy Light Sword¡± had given Dean McKenzie a bold thought.
What if I use the ¡®Skill Upgrade Enhancement Scroll¡¯ on ¡®Holy Light Judgment¡¯?¡±
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s idea was impulsive, after careful consideration, this n wasn¡¯t a bad idea.
After all, the ¡°Holy Light Sword¡± could elevate ¡°Holy Light Judgment¡± to a terrifying height. If Dean McKenzie continues to upgrade this skill, he might be able to create a weapon powerful enough to fight against a seven-turn existence.
¡°I can do it, but there¡¯s no hurry. After all, the value of ¡®Skill Upgrade Enhancement Scroll¡¯ increases over time.
I might try to upgrade the ¡®Holy Light Judgment¡¯ skill first and see how it goes.¡± Then, Dean McKenzie chose the ¡°Exploration Treasure Chest¡± and the job growth tinum equipment.
You have opened the [Exploration Treasure Chest] and obtained the secret realm resource map [Small Gold Mine]!
[You have obtained profession-specific equipment, [Lich King¡¯s Wrath] (tinum) (magic wand)!]
Name: Small Gold Mine
Description: Secret realm map that can be used directly in the realm. After using it, the realm will generate a small gold mine that can produce between 1,000 and 30,000 gold coins per day.
Equipment: Lich King¡¯s Wrath (magic wand)
Quality: tinum
Level: 88 (Increases with the user¡¯s level)
Equipping Condition: Dean McKenzie Exclusive
Effect 1: Increases the user¡¯s base spirit, magic strength, and mana by 200%
Effect 2: Increases the effect of all skills by 200%
Effect 3: AU skills level+i (up to level 15), Skill proficiency gain is tripled
Effect 4: Comes with Lich King¡¯s Wrath effect (an augmenting skill. When activated, all Corpse skills temporarily upgrade by 3 levels. When the user has fewer than 3 Corpse skills, skill level increases by 10 levels.
Duration: 3 minutes
Limited to once a day!)
Looking at these two items, Dean McKenzie was stunned.
He found, his luck today was rather extraordinary.
Pretty much every item turned out to be top quality.
There was no need to mention the ¡°Small Gold Mine¡±. This thing was basically a money-printing machine for his home.
If Dean McKenzie got lucky, he could make 30,000 gold coins a day without doing a thing.
Even if he was not that lucky, he could still make 1,000 gold coins a day.
Everyone loves to earn while doing nothing!
As for the ¡°Lich King¡¯s Wrath¡± equipment, Dean McKenzie felt both excited and a bit of regret.
Undoubtedly, this equipment was power-boosting.
The only issue was that it was biased towards Corpse skills, and Dean
McKenzie only had one Corpse skill, the Corpse Explosion.
¡°Right, I only have one Corpse skill, the Corpse Explosion. When I activate ¡®Lich King¡¯s Wrath¡¯, isn¡¯t the Corpse Explosion Skill directly upgraded by 10 levels?
How fearsome would a fourth-turn skill at level 11, no, level 13 be?¡±
Out of curiosity, Dean McKenzie tried it on the spot. After activating the Lich King¡¯s Wrath, the Corpse Explosion Skill directly upgraded from level 1 to level 11!
Skill: Corpse Explosion (fourth-turn)
Level: 13
Mana Consumption: 1.3 million
Effect: Applies to the corpse, causing damage equivalent to the sum of the corpse¡¯s former four-dimensional attributes and spirit power/mana, multiplied by 52 times Dean¡¯s spirit within a radius of 250 meters.
Note: Each 100 meters of an attack radius decreases the damage by 20%.
Looking at the level 11 Corpse Explosion, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but take a sharp breath.
For the first time, he realized how terrifying a fourth-turn skill could be.
No, it should be said that thebination of ¡®Lich King¡¯s Wrath¡¯ and this fourth-turn Corpse Explosion Skill is incredibly terrifying.
¡°It could be even stronger. If I enhance it, I just need to spend 1 million attribute points. Each level will add 1 million damage, when maxed out, it will add a minimum of 13 million additional damage.
If I add a strong trait, this skill would deliver tons of damage!
It could even be the most powerful and terrifying skill I have!
Once enhanced, it could withstand seven-turn existences!
Looks like, enhancing the Corpse Explosion skill needs to be on my agenda!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, not able to help but nce at his remaining grant quota.
With this nce, Dean McKenzie¡¯s brows furrowed.
He only has two grant quotas left at this moment,
Although he could quickly reach level 90, or even reach level 100 in no time,
But even if Dean McKenzie managed to reach level 100, he would only have 5 extra grant quota.
By then, If he enhanced Corpse Explosion, his grant quota would drop to 1, and then he would have to wait until he could enhance the skills.
Who knows, he might only enhance one skill per level up in the future.
¡°I initially thought that the higher the level, the more grant quota I would get, and the more skills I could enhance.
Looks like, I was a bit naive.
It¡¯s true that the higher the level, the more grant quota, but the skills that can be enhanced might not necessarily increase, and they might even reduce!¡±
Dean McKenzie realized that from now on, each of his grant quota would be extremely critical, and he could not waste them anymore..
Chapter 272:173 Award Settlement s
Chapter 272:173 Award Settlement s
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Good steel should be used on the de edge, I must concentrate my strength, n responsibly for the quota granted, and create my tactical system!¡±
¡°I can¡¯t be like before, enhancing skills impulsively whenever I see one!¡±
Currently and in the future, in Dean McKenzie¡¯s battle system.
Summon Skeleton serves as a very important part of the summoning system at its core.
In fact, Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power nowadays is seventy or eighty percent derived from Summon Skeleton.
This system is bing mature now.
¡°Next, if Summon Skeleton and Skeleton Summoning can sessfully integrate, I need to fill in at least 4 quotas in this new skill.¡±
After all, Summon Skeleton is a basic skill with a One-turn, no, it should be said to be a Zero-turn basic skill, while Skeleton Summoning is a Five-turn skill.
If two skills merge and produce a Five-turn skill, I need to invest 4 quotas. Even if they produce a Four-turn skill, I still need to invest 3 quotas.¡±
Looking at the current situation, McKenzie fears that all quotas within level 120 have to be used on Corpse Explosion and Summon Skeleton.
¡°Yep, but right now I can only hope that upgrading my talents can change the situation. But anyways, I have to save the quota before my talent levels up!¡±
After making the final summary of his current situation, a familiar sense of weightlessness came over.
In the next second, he returned to the Land of Bone from the instance.
The Goblin Rise 5 in his hand also turned into Goblin Rise 6.
Instance Scrolls: Goblin Rise 6
Description: You¡¯re at 6 now, what else are you supposed to exin? What exnation do you want?
Minimum challenge level: 121-140
¡°Huh!¡±
Dean McKenzie was somewhat surprised by the minimum challenge level of Goblin Rise 6.
He initially thought it would be at level 101, but to his surprise, it went directly to level 121.
And level 121 is a Six-turn.
This broke his usual habit of challenging every turn, making him somewhat uneasy.
But he took a deep breath.
After all, if he were to challenge this instance at level 101, he would be quite nervous.
The pit he dug for himself was too big and he was afraid he couldn¡¯t stand the challenge at level 101.
Now it¡¯s okay to enter at level 121.
On the spot, Dean McKenzie stated, ¡°Well, I¡¯m now at level 88, ready to ughter level 140.
By then, I should ughter level 192 like killing chickens, right?
Stable, this is stable!¡±
Of course, there is also bad news.
The bad news is that if you enter at level 121, by the time Dean McKenzie is already at level 6, then the transcendent professional inheritance he had negotiated with Kyle will be useless.
This is a great loss!
Butparing a transcendent professional inheritance and his own life, Dean McKenzie still knows what is more important.
Saving his life is the priority!
¡°Right, I remember before entering I used the Secret Realm Plunder Scroll and it hasn¡¯t activated yet, has it?¡±
No sooner had McKenzie finished speaking than the system prompted for an update.
[Your Secret Realm Plunder Scroll has been activated. You havepleted three challenge tasks, achieving two SSS evaluations and one SS evaluation.] [You have sessfully plundered the One-eyed Ogre Tribe, the Destroyed Pink City, and the Fern City stained by the power of the Wraith from the Goblin Instance Secret Realm!]
¡°Rumble!¡±
At the same time the system prompt refreshed, a violent rumble echoed in Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone.
Then, looking up, he saw two cities and the ruins of a tribe wrapped in huge bubbles, falling on the Land of Bone.
Seeing those three bubbles fall, Dean McKenzie felt like three huge pies were smashing into him.
He had been to all three ces and knew.
The two cities each covered an area no smaller than the current Land of Bone, even bigger, and the One-eyed Ogre Tribe was smaller but also about one-third the size of the Land of Bone.
If these two cities and the tribe are all swallowed, what will be of the Land of Bone?
On this point, Dean McKenzie quickly had an answer.
Unlike thest time when the Secret Realms were integrated, this time when the three bubbles fell, they directly fused into the Land of Bone.
They blended together perfectly and very quickly.
The system prompt also started updating continuously.
[Your Land of Bone has merged with the One-eyed Ogre Tribe. Your Land of
Bone has leveled up, the current level is Intermediate 2-Star!]
[Your Land of Bone has been upgraded to Intermediate 2-Star. The Secret Realm map, Spring Eye has been upgraded, to the current level of Intermediate 1-Star!]
[Your Land of Bone has merged with the Fern City imbued by the breath of the Wraith. The progress of the Secret Realm¡¯s upgrade increased by 33%!]
[Your Land of Bone has merged with the Destroyed Pink City. The progress of the Secret Realm¡¯s upgrade has increased to 77%!]
The integration of two cities and a tribe instantly elevated the Land of Bone to Intermediate 2-Star.
This level is alreadyrge enough to amodate the Promotion Altar from the previous Giant Lizard Tribe, and perhaps even the stone pir inheritance totem could be included.
¡°Right, speaking of the Giant Lizard Tribe, I don¡¯t how they are doing now!¡±
Dean McKenzie suddenly remembered the ordinary people of the Giant Lizard Tribe that he had taken to the Land of Bone.
After sending them in previously, besides assigning Old Six to prepare the Promotion Ceremony for them and replicating the experience from the Gathering ce, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to them.
He was so consumed by the instance raiding.
He just remembered, so he immediately switched his view to check them out.
As he looked, Dean McKenzie was thinking that since he had freed them from being ruled and enved, they should be quite free now, right?
Then, Dean McKenzie saw the current situation of the giant lizard tribe in the Land of Bone.
At first nce, Dean McKenzie almost had a stroke..
Chapter 273: Level 174 Crazy Sprint
Chapter 273: Level 174 Crazy Sprint
Trantor: 549690339
Inside the Land of Bone, at the meeting point of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
In the blink of an eye, the people of the Giant Lizard Tribe had been living in the Land of Bone for two months.
Two months were enough for the people of the Giant Lizard Tribe to growfortable with life in the Land of Bone.
However, this wasn¡¯t the life Dean McKenzie had envisaged for them.
It seemed as if they had reverted to their past lives.
Over thest two months, as the rules of the Promotion Ceremony had be clear, people of the Giant Lizard Tribe started to transform into professionals one by one.
These people, previously oppressed and bullied, had turned into professionals.
Surprisingly fast, in only a matter of a few days, they had picked up the ways of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
This new group of professionals formed a new ss, once again gaining control over themon folks.
They began controlling the Promotion Ceremony, monopolizing promotion resources, and brutally oppressing the ordinary folks.
They acted out far worse than the previous professionals of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
This group, which had crawled up from the bottom, knew all too well how to bully the underprivileged.
Wasn¡¯t this a tale of the weak turning into viins?
No, that wasn¡¯t urate. These wretches weren¡¯t dragon yers.
They were the rescued!
Their status had changed from beings oppressed to beings rescued, and then they turned into the oppressors themselves.
This disturbed Dean McKenzie greatly.
After all, he had brought themoners of the Giant Lizard Tribe to the Land of Bone to protect them from bullying. However, things hadn¡¯t changed since their arrival.
Did that mean Dean McKenzie¡¯s efforts had been in vain?
Dean McKenzie was determined not to let another Giant Lizard Tribe emerge in his Land of Bone!
So, Dean McKenzie immediately took action.
Dean McKenzie made only two moves, and that was to bring in the Skeletons.
A Skeleton Giant was posted to guard the previously abandoned Promotion Ceremony.
You want to control the Promotion Ceremony?
Sure, as long as you can defeat the Skeleton Giant.
At the same time, he adjusted the Skeletons surrounding the Giant Lizard Tribe to strike the tribe at a designated time.
After making the two adjustments, Dean McKenzie halted his actions.
He didn¡¯t further eliminate the professionals who had climbed up again onto the heads of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
This event made Dean McKenzie realize something.
He couldn¡¯t set their lives for them, all Dean McKenzie could do was to give them hope for a better future.
When a gate was opened in the enveloping darkness, Dean McKenzie believed that the Light Admirers would strive to rush through the opening.
Land of Bone, Giant Lizard Tribe!
Next to the Promotion Ceremony.
Around a dozen professionals formed a tight circle around the Promotion Ceremony.
These professionals looked menacing, showing their cruel and domineering side.
Their goal was to deter the oppressed from the shadows who stubbornly wished to challenge the Promotion Ceremony and be noble professionals.
Right, the oppressed!
Even though they used to belong to the same ss.
But since they became professionals, they felt reborn and bid farewell to their past oppressed selves.
They were now the noble professionals.
They highly valued all they had now, so they would use all their might to defend it.
Over the past two months, they had killed dozens of oppressed trying to challenge the ceremony.
At first, they felt fear when killing, but as the numbers grew, they grew ustomed to it.
Moreover, upon seeing the fearful look cast upon them by the oppressed, it reminded them of how they used to look at professionals, filled with the same fear.
However, they didn¡¯t empathize with the oppresseds¡¯ despair, instead, they felt pride and self-satisfaction from oveing their status.
¡°Enough circling, guys. We don¡¯t need to keep this up.
In recent times, these jerks have been scared after all the killing. It¡¯s been a few days since anyone has been foolish enough to challenge us; we should rest now!¡±
The leader called out from the side of the Promotion Ceremony.
The patrol of the around dozen professionals ceased, gathering together in one area.
Just when they gathered, a middle-aged man who had been hiding in the shadows saw his opportunity and charged towards the Promotion Ceremony.
His sudden charge caught those dozen professionals off guard.
They just stood there, watching him advance towards the Promotion Ceremony.
Seeing the Promotion Ceremony just before him, the middle-aged man brimmed with delight.
He¡¯s getting closer, almost there!
One more step and he¡¯d reach the Promotion Ceremony!
Once he stepped onto the ceremony, he could be a professional and he could change his family¡¯s destiny!
However, just one second before he could reach the ceremony, an ice dagger nailed him into ce, just a step away from the ceremony.
Over there, maliciousughter appeared on the dozen professionals¡¯ faces.
The demonicughter echoing in his ears, the middle-aged man¡¯s face twisted in agony.
Clearly, from the beginning, they were just ying along with him.
His failure this time would not only mean his death but might also implicate his family.
Regretting his impulsive decision, he knew it was toote to change anything now.
Unless a miracle happened, he would die here today!
Chapter 274: Level 174 Crazy Sprint_2
Chapter 274: Level 174 Crazy Sprint_2
Trantor: 549690339
And can miracles actually happen?
If he were just ten or twenty years younger, he might have prayed for and believed in miracles to happen.
But now, his heart was filled with despair!
There would be no miracle, not unless god took pity on him!
But what god would ever intervene?
Look, over there are more than a dozen demons already approaching, as they raised the de of death!
His thoughts of despair emerged, and suddenly there was a burst of grey light above his head.
The middle-aged man instinctively raised his head.
As he looked up, he witnessed a ten-meter tall Skeleton Giant descending upon them.
It crashed down precisely onto those dozen demons!
Watching this spectacle, the man¡¯s previously clouded eyes now exploded with a light unlike anything he had ever seen before.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he forcefully pulled free the frost arrow embedded in his body and scrambled desperately into the Promotion Ceremony.
As soon as this middle-aged man entered the Promotion Ceremony, a beam of golden light descended upon him.
The Holy Light soared high into the sky, bending the brows of Dean McKenzie.
He recognized this, wasn¡¯t this the Holy Light?
In the next moment, a system notification refreshed in front of McKenzie.
[Your subject has died and be a Skeleton Wraith!]
[Your subject Calvin has sessfully promoted to [Light Admirer] (Extraordinary)!]
Seeing this system notification, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes widened in shock.
Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man became the second extraordinary profession under hismand, and even more surprising was that it was a professional belonging to the Holy Light Profession.
McKenzie was not pleased with this.
What he detested the most right now was the Church of Holy Light, and yet, one such profession had emerged in his own domain.
It nearly led McKenzie to smash the man¡¯s skull, and directly extract the extraordinary fragment from him.
¡°It¡¯s people who are evil, not professions. He shouldn¡¯t be as vile as the Church of Holy Light.¡±
Let¡¯s review his attributes first!¡± McKenzie decided.
Name: Calvin
Profession: Light Admirer (Extraordinary)
Traits: Heart of Twilight (Pursuing the light in one¡¯s heart can grant unlimited power.
ps: Oh weary middle-aged man, do you still believe in the light?)
Attributes:
Strength: 1.2, Agility: 1,3, Physique: 1,1, Spirit: 2.3
Mana: 35
Skill: Light Spell (Level 1)
Looking at these attributes, McKenzie fell silent.
These attributes, they weren¡¯t very extraordinary!
Let alone the extraordinary temtes like Finch Olmedo, even an average Elite Temte would likely not lose to him.
But the more so it was, the more McKenzie valued it.
Because his trait was, up to now, the most unique one McKenzie had evere across.
¡°Do you believe in the light?¡±
It seems that this trait is very powerful.¡±
McKenzie then decided to send a Skeleton Assassin to the stage to look out for Calvin. As long as his life was not in danger, they should disregard him.
With that decided, McKenzie went from the Giant Lizard Tribe to the Giant Serpent Tribe.
The first thing he did upon leaving was finding the previously hidden [Promotion Altar] and [Stone Pir Inheritance Totem].
He instructed Old Six to try and move them back to the Land of Bone.
The Promotion Altar was sessfully transferred, but the Stone Pir Inheritance Totem could not be moved.
The feedback from Old Six was that this Stone Pir Inheritance Totem could not be moved to the Land of Bone through conventional means. Unless McKenzie couldplete the integration challenge and incorporate it into his own secret realm, it would be impossible to move.
¡°I do want to integrate it, but I just can¡¯t integrate the boss with the seventh-turn extraordinary quality!
Even if I could sessfully upgrade the Summon Skeleton skill, I reckon I still wouldn¡¯t be able to pass this integration trial. So for now, it will have to stay here!¡±
He continued to hide the [Stone Pir Inheritance Totem] where it was.
McKenzie did not return to the Giant Serpent Tribe but instead went to explore the leveling maps original acquired by the Giant Lizard Tribe.
Currently, McKenzie was only Level 88, still 12 levels away from the Fourth-turn limit of Level 100. He nned on leveling up these 12 levels as quickly as possible.
For the current McKenzie, leveling up was not a problem, as long as there was an appropriate map. As soon as McKenzie started grinding, his level would increase rapidly.
The Giant Lizard Tribe had control over n leveling maps, among which there were 2 zero-turn, 2 first-turn, 2 second-turn, 1 third-turn, 1 fourth-turn, 2 fifth-turn, and 1 sixth-turn.
For McKenzie, the maps below third-turn had already lost their meaning.
He wouldn¡¯t gain any experience points even if he did go in and try to level up.
Apart from that, due to the level gap being toorge, the drop rate would be frustratingly low.
It was a lost cause, so McKenzie directly gave up on the maps below third-turn and began attacking the maps above fourth-turn.
Well, rather than saying he was attacking, it¡¯s more like he was sweeping through.
In the fourth-turn map, if McKenzie didn¡¯t consider extracting, he could wipe out everything in there with just a few [Meteorite Falls].
Even when considering the factor of extraction, it wouldn¡¯t take McKenzie too much effort.
After all, there was no monster his basic attack couldn¡¯t handle.
If there was, he would use a Bone Spear, and if that still didn¡¯t work, he would use a Bone Fang.
For the fourth-turn map, it only took McKenzie 5 minutes to clear it from start to finish.
The time it took for ughtering was even less than the time he spent on [Extraction] and collecting the spoils.
Since he didn¡¯tmand the skeletons to take action, the gains were still quite good.
Clearing a fourth-turn map allowed McKenzie¡¯s level to increase to 89, yielding 1 rare temte, 13 excellent temtes, and 156 elite temtes..

The loot he got should total up to a few thousand gold coins.
Well, it¡¯s better than nothing!
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie took another two hours to clear two Fifth-turn maps.
He raised his level to 93, and thest Sixth-turn map boosted his level to 97, as if he was riding a rocket.
Just one more round, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s level would reach 100, allowing him to reach the Fifth-turn.
Other than levels, Dean McKenzie acquired about 60,000 gold coins and five to six hundred temtes.
These temtes were hardly worth mentioning to Dean McKenzie, who already had Carney to aid him.
He didn t much care for temtes that were rarer.
¡°It takes about 20 days to reset a Fourth-turn map, 40 days for a Fifth-turn, and 80 days for a Sixth-turn.
I definitely don¡¯t have the patience to wait for them to reset, so it seems I¡¯ll have to figure out a way to level up to too.
I wonder if I can borrow a Sixth-turn map from someone.¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at his current assets. Since emerging from ¡°Goblin Rise,¡± he had about 500,000 gold coins, and 520 purple gold coins.
Add in his earnings this time, and he had 570,000 gold coins.
Besides, he had also ced the ¡°Small Gold Mine¡±.
His luck was average, neither being the best with 30,000 a day or the worst with 1000 a point.
The gold coins produced every day amounted to about 8,000.
It was quite shocking.
To get 8,000 gold coins a day without doing anything would amount to 240,000 a month.
Also, his ¡°Spring Eye¡± had upgraded. After the upgrade, its ie increased more than ten times.
His original daily ie of 500 to 1,000 had dramatically risen to 5,000 to 10,000.
In other words, Dean McKenzie would have at least 390,000 gold coins per month without doing anything. At maximum, he¡¯d even have 540,000 gold coins.
What does it mean to be rich enough to rival a country?
Dean McKenzie felt he was barely within that range.
With such wealth, he believed he could easily afford to pry open the door to a Sixth-turn map.
The only thing Dean McKenzie needed to consider was which Sixth-turn map to invest in.
While Dean McKenzie was pondering this, Carney contacted him.
He told Dean McKenzie that he had returned from the Giant Bear Tribe.
More specifically, he hadpleted the Promotion Trial of the Giant Bear Tribe.
Moreover, he had also brought back the Business Association¡¯s apology from Boris Holt¡¯s end.
¡°Boris Holt?¡±
Hearing this name, Dean McKenzie was taken aback, and only after a while did he remember. It was the person who had contacted a professional team to shamelessly ambush him.
Last time, Dean McKenzie had intended to finish him off but was stopped by Carney.
He said that he would give Dean McKenzie a satisfactory exnation, and here it was!
Dean McKenzie was very curious about this so-called apology.
Just as he finished clearing up a few maps, he returned to the Giant Serpent Tribe immediately.
¡°Sir!¡±
Seeing Dean McKenzie returned, Carney, who had been promoted to the
Six-turn, respectfully stood up.
His attitude was even more respectful than before.
After all, it was Dean McKenzie who enabled him to reach the Six-turn.
Not to mention, the ruins of the Giant Lizard Tribe were still fresh in his mind.
¡°So you¡¯ve reached the Six-turn, in hard mode?¡±
Dean McKenzie could tell at a nce that Carney¡¯s attributes had increased about four times, which was the result of a hard mode trial.
¡°Thanks to you!¡±
¡°Well done!¡±
Dean McKenzie nodded in satisfaction.
Although Carney, who had reached the Six-turn, could still be easily defeated his enhancement in strength was of great significance to the trade transactions as well as the Giant Serpent Tribe.
At the very least, with such strength, Dean McKenzie did not have to worry about him being robbed easily.
He could even consider expanding his business.
¡°Sir, this is thepensation that the Business Association gives to you!¡±
In the midst of Dean McKenzie¡¯s praise, Carney brought out a few items.
They were a gift list, a merchandise list, and a Skill Book.
Dean McKenzie picked them up and took a look.
The gift list had only three lines:
Ordinary Skeleton Temte: 3000
Fine Skeleton Temte: 300
Excellent Skeleton Temte: 30
Looking at the simple three lines of the gift list, then at the level 4
Necromancer skill ¡°Bone w¡±, he raised his eyebrows.
¡°Is this how they¡¯re exining it to me?¡±
¡°Is this their exnation to me?¡±
Dean McKenzie was not satisfied.
¡°Their greatest sincerity lies in that merchandise list!¡±
At Carney¡¯s words, Dean McKenzie was stunned. He picked up the merchandise list and had a look.
The content on it was simple: they wanted to build a long-term working rtionship with Dean McKenzie.
Their Business Association could mobilize resources, long-term aid in collecting temtes and various corpses for Dean McKenzie.
The price they offered was only fifty percent of what the Giant Serpent Tribe was providing.
Carney who was on the side added, ¡°The Business Association indicated that if you are willing to sign this merchandise list, they could send over the first batch of goods within a week at thetest.
At a minimum, there could be 600 perfect quality Third-turn corpses, 50,000 fine temtes, 5,000 excellent temtes, and 500 rare temtes.¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie raised his eyebrows.
He turned his head to look at Carney.
¡°They seem to be stealing your business!¡±
To this, Carney replied: ¡°Our Giant Serpent Tribe has limited resources and connections, and we can¡¯t assist much in Sir¡¯s business.
So, as long as it¡¯s convenient for the Sir, you don¡¯t need to take us into ount!¡±
Carney¡¯s words were entirely sincere and down-to-earth.
Yet it made Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, a smirk appearing at theer of his mouth: ¡°No can do, how could I not take you into ount?
I will definitely let you guys do this business, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t sign this merchandise list!¡±
Hearing this, Carney¡¯s face did not show any sign of joy. On the contrary, he looked a bit disappointed.
And his disappointment had reasons.
¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you must¡¯ve put in a considerable amount of effort to negotiate this merchandise list, right?¡±
A casual remark by Dean McKenzie left Carney speechless.
Dean McKenzie turned to look at Carney: ¡°Are you afraid because of what happened at the Giant Lizard Tribe and your promotion trial at the Giant Bear Tribe?¡±
Caught off guard, Carney wanted to argue, but as his eyes made contact with
Dean McKenzie¡¯s, he finally admitted defeat and lowered his head in honesty:
¡°Yes, I made a trade with you just to make a small profit.
But what happened to the Giant Lizard Tribe and Giant Bear Tribe made me realize that you are an influential person.
It¡¯s impossible to make a small profit from an influential person. It¡¯s all about wealth and power!¡±
¡°Leaving aside the influential person, isn¡¯t wealth and power good?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Carney firmly nodded: ¡°If it was just me, I would be willing to work for you without considering my life or death!
After all, my life was saved by you.
But I am the leader of the Giant Serpent Tribe, and I need to be responsible for the Giant Serpent Tribe.
While I can take risks, the Giant Serpent Tribe can¡¯t.¡±
Upon saying this, Dean McKenzie fell silent, looking at Carney, he tapped the desk lightly.
Well, what if I can guarantee the safety of your Giant Serpent Tribe?¡±
¡°If sir guarantees it, Carney will dedicate his life to serving you!¡±
Without any hesitation, Carney knelt down directly!

Trantor: 549690339 |
In the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean McKenzie watched as Carney knelt before him, expressing his willingness to go through fire and water for him. His pace of tapping his fingers on the desk suddenly intensified.
Of course, Dean McKenzie was well aware that Carney¡¯s kneeling was not because he had been awed by his domineering aura.
Carney was clear that he must kneel since Dean McKenzie had already put his words to this point, otherwise, he would seem oblivious.
Clearly, the Carney still seemed like an unwillingly picked melon to Dean McKenzie.
Not sweet at all!
But Dean McKenzie had to pick it at this point!
He was quite clear about the path he was about to take.
He also knew that by going down this path, he would inevitably have to expand
his power.
He couldn¡¯t rely solely on himself to grind for materials, could he?
The rules were explicit!
Now Dean McKenzie, being at the Fourth-turn, has a lower drop rate for materials of Three-turn or below, so he couldn¡¯t yield much.
Even if he could get some materials, he couldn¡¯t handle a lot on his own.
He didn¡¯t want to spend his limited life in an endless grind.
As for coborating with others, like the Business Association behind Boris
Holt, it could only be a transition.
After all, long-term exploitation of others¡¯ power will lead to problems eventually.
Moreover, even if he could coborate with them continuously, coboration requires some processing and finalizing.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t interested in dealing with these trivial matters.
His skeleton army might have wisdom, but not to the extent that they could handle this work.
Therefore, Carney, who was quite handy for Dean McKenzie, wasn¡¯t nned to be let go just like that!
Despite being unwilling, Dean McKenzie had to pull Carney into his side first, and consider other thingster.
¡°Don¡¯t rush to kneel, let me show you something first!
Looking at the kneeling Carney, Dean McKenzie eventually opened the Gate of
Bone.
¡°Please!¡±
Dean McKenzie waved at the open Gate of Bone, and Carney, after a brief hesitation, stepped into the Land of Bone.
The Land of Bone is at an Intermediate 2-star level, and the buildings could only amodate constructions under the Fifth-turn. People could be one turn higher, so a Six-turn Carney could still enter.
Once Carney stepped in, he found himself standing on some grey clouds in mid-air.
He looked down and saw a Secret Realm that could be described as vast beneath his feet.
The vast area was probably several dozen timesrger than the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Also, the current Land of Bone was 90% unobstructed for Carney, revealing much of its features.
The first thing Carney saw was two conspicuous Promotion Temples in the Land of Bone!
Their tribe only has a Three-turn Promotion Temple, while in Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone, he actually saw two Fourth-turns.
Seeing those two Promotion Temples made Carney¡¯s eyes burn with desire. If their Giant Serpent Tribe could own a Fourth-turn Promotion Temple, their tribal strength would definitely soar significantly.
Then, Carney¡¯s gaze hardened.
Because he saw a Promotion Altar beyond the two Promotion Temples. He recognized it at a nce. That was a Promotion Altar of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
Carney was equally covetous of this Altar.
If their tribe could have this Promotion Altar, then everyone could be promoted warriors.
Just these three buildings carried a huge shock for Carney.
But the greater shock was yet toe.
Carney soon saw the Spring Eye which had been upgraded to the Intermediate 1 Star, and the running Small Gold Mine.
Carney was thoroughly shocked.
He knew Dean McKenzie was rich, but he didn¡¯t know he was rich to this level, even owning a money-printing machine in his own house.
At the same time, when Carney saw these two things, he realized he was bound by Dean McKenzie.
From this moment on, Carney would never dare say he wanted to drop his burden and quit the job.
No joke, knew Dean McKenzie¡¯s secret and still wanted to run? Does he think that the knife in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand isn¡¯t sharp?
How could it be dull!
Now Carney has seen the dense Skeleton Legion under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand.
Dozens of Perfect Quality Fifth-turn skeletons, hundreds of Rare Quality Fifth-turn skeletons, with even more Excellent ones.
If Dean McKenzie unleashed this legion, the whole South Barbarian area, except for the Giant Bear and a few other tribes, would be wiped off the map. As Carney watched Dean McKenzie¡¯s army, Dean McKenzie pulled the view over to the Giant Lizard Tribe.
After about a day, the look of the Giant Lizard Tribe had drastically changed. With the fall of the Skeleton Giant Warrior, the professionals of the Giant Lizard Tribe could no longer monopolize the Promotion Ceremony. Coupled with Dean McKenzie providing unlimited energy for the Promotion Ceremony, the Giant Lizard Tribe increased its professionals by hundreds in just one day.
The original ruling force was overthrown in just one day.
Under the guidance of Calvin, the whole Giant Lizard Tribe was thriving in prosperity.
Seeing the tribe in front of them, both Carney and Dean McKenzie were stunned.
Carney was surprised that there were actually people in Dean McKenzie¡¯s Secret Realm.
At this point, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention was mainly on Calvin. He was surprised that Calvin, with his pseudo-extraordinary attribute, had actually be the leader of the tribe.
What¡¯s more, Dean McKenzie vaguely felt that there seemed to be a faint connection between Calvin and himself..
Chapter 277:175 Income from the Giant Serpent Tribe,
Chapter 277:175 Ie from the Giant Serpent Tribe,
Giant Bull Totem_2
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie was still wondering how this connection turned up.
Over at the Giant Lizard Tribe, Calvin led its members in fervent prayer at the side of the Promotion Ceremony.
¡°O omnipotent True God,mander of the great Skeleton Giant warriors, unknown powerful savior, we thank you for your gifts that have saved us from endless suffering, granting us endless strength.
We are willing to dedicate our eternally pure souls to you!¡±
Following Calvin¡¯s prayer, Dean McKenzie found the initial vague connection became concrete instantly.
They were genuinely connected now.
Amid Calvin¡¯s prayer, Dean McKenzie could distinctly feel Calvin¡¯s presence. He even sensed some power entwined around him during Calvin¡¯s prayer.
This scene was vividly observed by Carney from the sideline.
The moment he saw this, Carney took a sharp breath.
He had thought he had already overestimated Dean McKenzie as much as possible, but he had still underestimated him.
Gathering disciples and establishing faith!
These were acts only gods could perform.
The gentleman before him was a great being preparing to ascend to godhood!
Carney kneeled on the spot!
¡°Sir, no, I should say, Great True God, please allow me to represent the Giant Serpent Tribe and offer our faith to you!
We will be your most devout disciples!¡±
Carney¡¯s sudden prostration left Dean McKenzie quite puzzled.
When he turned to look at his fervent manner, Dean McKenzie knew undoubtedly that Carney had misunderstood something.
But it didn¡¯t matter ¨C a misunderstanding or not, it¡¯s all the same.
The moment Dean McKenzie brought Carney here, it was the destiny of their Giant Serpent Tribe to be sealed.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone was about to receive its third wave of people.
Later, Dean McKenzie left the Land of Bone with Carney, who started to make preparations.
He issued an order to close the tribe and evict outsiders from the tribe.
After sorting affairs out in one day, Dean McKenzie opened the Gate of Bone and began to take action.
Unlike the Gathering ce and the Giant Lizard Tribe, Dean McKenzie did not intend to move the Giant Serpent Tribe into the Land of Bone entirely.
He just brought the people from the Giant Serpent Tribe to the Land of Bone and marked them with the brand of the Land of Bone.
Then he cleared the Promotion Altar to transform all members of the Giant Serpent Tribe, simultaneously opened the Promotion Temple, and sent those tribesmen, professionals who had been stuck at Level 80 for a long time, for Promotion Trials.
The whole process was conducted without the ordinary tribe people knowing the truth.
They just thought that the Giant Serpent Tribe had run into great luck, encountering a temporary Secret Realm.
After several days of busy work, the people of the Giant Serpent Tribe were all released by Dean McKenzie.
However, after releasing all of them, the Giant Serpent Tribe underwent a drastic change.
Every member became a professional.
Several professionals who acquired Perfect Quality Temtes, and dozens of Fourth-turn professionals, thereby greatly enhanced the strength of the tribe.
The reason that the Giant Serpent Tribe was not housed in the Land of Bone also took into ount Dean McKenzie¡¯s considerations.
On one hand, Dean McKenzie would be using the Giants Serpent Tribe¡¯s identity to borrow the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe next.
On the other hand, this tribe served Dean McKenzie as a source for collecting temtes, bodies, and other resources.
Moving them was certainly not feasible. They were definitely to cultivate this location deeply.
Not only them, if any talent from the Giant Lizard Tribe and the Gathering ce mature in the future, Dean McKenzie would also send them over to the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Then, with the Giant Serpent Tribe as a springboard, influence will be radiated to the entire South Barbarian region and even the whole world!
Of course, the subsequent development of the Giant Serpent Tribe requires a lot of hard work and long-term nning, all of which are not Dean McKenzie¡¯s strengths.
But that¡¯s okay, Dean McKenzie does not need to be omnipotent.
He just needs to manage the Land of Bone well and strive to improve his own strength. Other matters will naturally be handled by others!
At least, the current configuration, could bepleted by Carney.
In just a few days, Carney delivered five ns to Dean McKenzie.
After reading through all, Dean McKenzie casually chose the one that caught his eye the most and handed it to Carney.
¡°Start with this, proceed with each point one by one, be bold, I will give you all the support from behind!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
A few dayster, Carney had transformedpletely.
From being timid and wanting to quit, he became enthusiastic to make a ssh.
¡°By the way, sir, I¡¯ve also negotiated the Six-turn map you want.
We¡¯ve purchased the one-time usage right to the Six-turn map from the Giant Bull Tribe at a cost of 20,000 Gold Coins!
That map will refresh in three days.¡±
¡°Three days?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyebrows twitched, ¡°How much longer until the trading session of the Giant Bear Tribe?¡±
¡°Six days!¡±
¡°Then help me reserve the usage rights to the Fifth-turn Promotion Temple from the Giant Bear Tribe. Also, help me buy an Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher.¡±
Dean McKenize made a rough calction of the timeline and thought there was plenty of time. He nned to clear the Six-turn map of the Giant Bull Tribe to elevate his level to 100, then proceed to the Giant Bear Tribe for his Fifth-turn. Lastly, he would participate in the trading session of the Giant Bear Tribe.
With the n roughly arranged, Dean McKenzie set to act.
ording to the n, he rushed to the Giant Bull Tribe ahead of time to wait for the refresh of the Six-turn map.
To ensure sess, Dean McKenzie set off for the Giant Bull Tribe the same day.
The scale of this tribe was roughly the same as that of the Giant Lizard Tribe, and their strength was also at a simr level..
Chapter 278:175 Entered Giant Serpent Tribe, Giant Bull
Chapter 278:175 Entered Giant Serpent Tribe, Giant Bull
Totem_3
Trantor: 549690339
The strongest are at the six-turn level.
in addition to this, this tribe seems to have a stone totem inheritance simr
to that of the Giant Lizard Tribe.
Dean McKenzie came to know about this because the Giant Bull Tribe showed
great enthusiasm for his arrival.
The tribal leader greeted him in person.
Dean noticed extraordinary traits simr to those of Caleb on that tribal leader.
¡°Mr. Lee, wee, wee!¡±
Carl, the leader of the Giant Bull Tribe, shook Dean¡¯s hand warmly with his half-meter long palm.
However, his enthusiasm made Dean suspicious.
After all, the enthusiasm of the other party was a bit excessive, far surpassing that which should be shown to a customer who spends 20,000 golds to buy a one-time use of a six-turn map.
For this reason alone, Dean could conclude that the other party certainly needed something.
Dean worried that his six-turn map would lead to unforeseen issues, in which case he might need to take some action.
Thinking of this, his gaze darkened and he gripped Carl¡¯s hand slightly tighter.
The strength of seventy to eighty thousand made Carl smackhis lips in front of
Dean.
Looking at Dean, he was full of suspicion.
This strength, is this guy really a mage?
But Carl didn¡¯t probe further and quickly dismissed this question to get to the point: ¡°Mr. Lee, the thing is, 1 need your help with something!
Dean squinted, ¡°As long as it¡¯s not about the six-turn map, we can talk about anything else!¡±
Carl pped his chest, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry about that. Now that I¡¯ve given you the map, there won¡¯t be any problems. Our Giant Bull Tribe prides itself on strength and honesty!¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean was somewhat disappointed.
The opportunity to be forced to act and inevitably plunder a tribe was gone. At the same time, he became curious about Carl¡¯s plea for help: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Well, I have a Secret Realm challenge that I¡¯m having a hard time with, and I need the help of a necromancer.¡±
¡°A Secret Realm challenge? A necromancer?
Dean raised an eyebrow.
¡°Yes, yes, yes, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s possible!
Carl nodded heavily, rubbing hisrge hands together somewhat nervously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you work for nothing, I¡¯ll lend you this six-turn map for free. You can take 30% of the profits from the Secret Realm!¡±
Carl, who didn¡¯t seem very scheming, made Dean somewhat interested in his
Secret Realm.
¡°What kind of Secret Realm is it?¡±
¡°A challenge-type Secret Realm, where we have to take down a seven-turn extraordinary level BOSS!¡±
When Dean heard this, he immediately knew what Secret Realm Carl was preparing to challenge, he was stunned.
Dean found out that Carl was incredibly ambitious.
With only a six-turn perfect quality strength, he wanted to challenge a seven-turn extraordinary quality BOSS; he must think he¡¯s been living too long.
Carl seeing Dean¡¯s questioning gaze, quickly said: ¡°Of course, we¡¯re not challenging now. I¡¯m preparing to advance to seven-turn in some time; when I reach seven-turn, we¡¯ll challenge!
Upon hearing this, Dean didn¡¯t know what to say.
Isn¡¯t this fellow a little too blindly self-confident?
Does he think he can reach seven-turn just because he said so?
With his current state, shouldn¡¯t his priority be on reaching seven-turn, and not the Secret Realm?
Moreover, what makes him think Dean could help with a seven-turn extraordinary level boss?
And still, he hasn¡¯t even begun the challenge, how does he know he needs the aid of a necromancer?
With many questions in mind, Dean became even more wary of Carl. Dean highly suspected that Carl, who seemed naive, was in fact pretending, that his true self was a cunning one, disguising his intelligence.
So, for Carl¡¯s request, Dean neither agreed nor refused, leaving Carl on the hook.
Anyway, Carl has not reached seven-turn yet, and his Secret Realm challenge hasn¡¯t even begun.
Dean kept him hanging.
However, it seemed as if Carl couldn¡¯t understand Dean¡¯s evasive answers.
Dean¡¯s ¡°let me consider it¡± and ¡°I need to think about it¡± somehow tranted to a yes in Carl¡¯s mind.
From then on, he pestered Dean daily, wanting to discuss the Secret Realm challenge with him.
That¡¯s when he brought out the details of their tribe¡¯s several attempts to break through the Secret Realm.
Once these details were revealed, Dean realized.
He was wrong,pletely wrong.
Carl was not posing as a fool to outsmart others, he was genuinely foolish!
The information he brought outpletely exposed the existence of their tribe¡¯s Giant Bull Totem, and also revealed that their tribe had a portable Secret Realm that had been passed down for generations.
His foolish behavior made Dean feel extraordinarily frustrated.
He felt as if Carl was testing his conscience.
Looking at the information Carl brought out, Dean almost sumbed to his greed several times and wanted to act on him.
Dean was confident that he could easily take down the Giant Bull Tribe if he wanted to.
He wouldn¡¯t even need to use much power; fooling Carl alone could cripple the tribe.
just let this fellow hand things over willingly.
Dean didn¡¯t understand how such a foolish man could be the leader of the Giant Bull Tribe.
¡°Excuse me, but how do you select the leader of your tribe? How did you be the leader?¡±
Yes, Dean¡¯s curiosity got the better of him and he finally asked the question.
To Dean¡¯s question, Carl didn¡¯t feel offended at all and replied naturally: ¡°Through fighting, of course. Whoever is stronger, whoever can fight, bes the leader!¡±
While speaking, Carl even showed off his incredibly strong muscles, proudly stating: ¡°I am the strongest in our tribe!¡±
Looking at the proud Carl, Dean was even more puzzled.
How had their tribe survived until now?

Dean McKenzie spent two days at the Giant Bull Tribe.
Carl had been clinging to Dean McKenzie for those two days.
In his own words, his intuition told him that bing friends with Dean McKenzie would only bring benefits not harms.
So, he stubbornly stuck to Dean McKenzie¡¯s side and refused to leave.
Over the course of those two days, Carl, in an attempt to find topics for conversation, had sold almost everything from the tribe.
By the end of those two days, Dean McKenzie knew even the most minute details about the Giant Bull Tribe.
Of course, aside from this pleasaness information, Dean McKenzie also gained some valuable insights.
Dean McKenzie bought a few things from the Giant Bull Tribe!
He cleared off all the low-level materials in the tribe, intending to use them to cultivate some deputies in the Land of Bone.
But most importantly, Dean McKenzie secured a few level 6 skills from the Giant Bull Tribe.
They belonged to Mages, Archers, and Assassins!
They were: ¡°Absolute Frost¡± for the six-turn mage
¡°Icy Rain of Arrows¡± for the six-turn archer
¡°Divine Thief¡± for the six-turn assassin
These careers were rare in the Giant Bull Tribe, so when Dean McKenzie offered to buy these skill books, they dly sold them.
So Dean McKenzie got lucky.
However, these skills could not be used immediately, they needed to wait until hisrades reached six-turn.
¡°If all goes well, they should be able to reach six-turn soon!¡±
Considering the time, the six-turn map of the Giant Bull Tribe should be refreshed soon.
Once he conquers this wave of maps, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level could exceed 100.
By then, he ns to go to the Giant Bear Tribe, both to prepare for the fifth-turn and toplete the first wave of temte trades with the Business Association behind Boris Holt.
Then, using the gained temtes to strengthen his ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± skill.
Well, this skill has two more chances to be enhanced, and Dean McKenzie is not nning on wasting them.
To enhance it, even if it can¡¯t break the level cap, at least, it should increase the quality and level of the trait. And then, once Dean McKenziepletes five-turn, he ns to merge ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± with ¡°Bone Summoning¡±!
¡°The fusion of these two skills should, at least, result in a fifth-turn skill.
By then, the level cap of the Skeleton should at least be able to break through 120, right?¡±
As Dean McKenzie pondered, Carl ran in excitedly, ¡°Sir, the map has been refreshed!¡±
¡°Really?
That¡¯s amazing!¡±
A brilliant smile spread across Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
Ove the past couple of days, Dean McKenzie¡¯s head had been pounding from Carl¡¯s constantpany.
Now that the map had finally been refreshed, Dean McKenzie¡¯s suffering was about to end.
¡°Quick, take me to the map!¡±
Dean McKenzie could hardly wait to brush off this map and leave this tribe.
However, as soon as Dean McKenzie and Carl arrived at the entrance of the six-turn map, Dean McKenzie¡¯s brows furrowed.
The entrance of the map was noisy.
Some barbarians, whose clothing did not match those of the Giant Bull Tribe, seemed to be preparing to forcibly enter the six-turn map of the Giant Bull Tribe.
Before Dean McKenzie was even close, he heard those barbarians iming that they were from the Giant Bear Tribe and wanted tomandeer the Giant Bull Tribe¡¯s map.
An ident had urred.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyebrows raised and his expression darkened, not at all pleased.
He hadn¡¯t expected these issues when he had nned everything out so diligently.
Dean McKenzie pondered how to deal with it.
This was indeed a headache for Dean McKenzie. If those men weren¡¯t from the Giant Bear Tribe, it would be easy to solve.
Just smack them to death and problem solved!
But the problem was that they were from the Giant Bear Tribe.
This was a significant issue.
After all, McKenly needs to use the Temple of Change of the Giant Bear Tribe and participate in the trade fair of the Giant Bear Tribe.
More importantly, they have a Seventh Change Strongman.
In face of such a power, if not necessary, McKenzie would not want to have unnecessary conflicts.
So at this moment, McKenzie hesitated whether to give up this map.
While McKenzie was hesitating, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the side: ¡°What the fuck! Giant Bear Tribe, fuck off! This is my map, get the hell out of here!¡±
Then, a robust figure lunged forward.
It was Carl!
He attacked directly, bringing out all his strength as a level 140 six-turn strongman.
He grabbed those from the Giant Bear Tribe, one in each hand, and threw them far away.
Having swiftly disposed of the men from the Giant Bear Tribe, Carl turned to Dean McKenzie and waved him over: ¡°Sir, they are gone, you can go in now!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s side.
Looking at the guys from the Giant Bear Tribe being thrown away, and at Carl who was waving at him, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
This development was beyond his expectations.
What surprised him even more was that the guys from the Giant Bear Tribe ran away as if they had been scared off after being thrown away.
¡°Are they really scared?
Are the people of the Giant Bear Tribe so timid?¡±
His intuition told Dean McKenzie: It¡¯s not that simple.
And indeed it wasn¡¯t.
Thirty minutester, those guys from the Giant Bear Tribe who had been thrown away had stopped running after a certain distance, they turned around to look at the map of the Giant Bull Tribe.
One of them asked: ¡°Do you think our crude action was effective?¡±

A few men chuckled nearby.
¡°You don¡¯t understand the Giant Bull Tribe. Being ambiguous won¡¯t work on these brutes. A simple and rough approach is more effective!
¡°The item was tossed into a map amidst the chaos. If something happens in that map, Carl will definitely be the first to enter.¡±
¡°Once he goes in, he¡¯s noting out!¡±
¡°Wanting to reach the seventh-turn in the realm of the Giant Bear Tribe?
There¡¯s no room for such a formidable existence!
What they didn¡¯t know was that while they¡¯ve been talking, Old Eight was by their side, using an active long-distancemunication device to broadcast what was happening here to Dean McKenzie.
¡°As I thought!¡±
Dean McKenzie, listening to the voice from themunication device, raised
his eyebrows.
His gaze then fell on Carl.
At this moment, this brute had no idea he had been set up.
He was looking at Dean McKenzie, wondering why he hadn¡¯t entered the map
to battle monsters yet.
¡°Sir, why are you standing here?¡±
Dean McKenzie smirked, but ultimately didn¡¯t reveal the truth to Carl.
Sometimes, knowing too much wasn¡¯t a good thing.
Especially for brutes like Carl.
If he knew what the Giant Bear Tribe fes were nning, he¡¯d probably
confront them right away.
And there was a high chance that he¡¯d drag Dean McKenzie into it.
That wouldn¡¯t be a good thing for Dean McKenzie.
¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, his gaze fell on the map in front of him, and he cast
an Appraisal Skill.
[Your Appraisal Skill is sessful. You have obtained the attributes of the
¡°Tampered Bull Mountain¡± map!]
Name: Tampered Bull Mountain
Level: Pseudo Seventh-turn Map
Description: Originally a six-turn map, a special item was used to trigger a refresh rate a hundred times higher than normal. The drop rate is ten times the original. A hidden mode may also be activated, which summons a pseudo seventh-turn boss.
PS: Defeating the boss will likely yield exceptional rewards.
Seeing the attributes of the map, Dean McKenzie squinted his eyes.
¡°Huh. It seems that the Giant Bear Tribe did something that wasn¡¯tpletely terrible!¡±
In Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, wasn¡¯t this essentially gifting him benefits?
With a hundredfold monster spawn rate and tenfold drop rate, Dean McKenzie would surely reap significant rewards from this map.
However, it was not entirely beneficial.
After all, there was the chance of triggering a hidden mode and summoning a pseudo seventh-turnboss.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t sure about the power of such pseudo seventh-turn beings, but it likely posed a great danger.
Faced with an unknown danger, Dean McKenzie hesitated. Should he take the risk or not?
¡°Of course I should!¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it just a pseudo seventh-turn boss?
¡°Besides, my Wild Intuition isn¡¯t warning me about any insurmountable dangers. Let¡¯s do this!¡±
With his mind made up, Dean McKenzie stepped onto the ¡°Bull Mountain¡± map.
As Dean McKenzie entered the six-turn map,
¡°Moo!¡±
Cow sounds echoed around.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes were filled with hordes of massive Carl, levels between
121 to 14.0, all being minimum Elite-grade.
The moment these Carl appeared in Dean McKenzie¡¯s sight, he also found himself surrounded by them.
Immediately, their eyes turned red.
¡°Moo!¡±
In the chaotic mess of mooing, thousands of Carl charged towards Dean McKenzie!
Dean McKenzie smirked.
¡°Thest thing I am afraid of is melee brutes like you!¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie activated his Flight Skill and flew high into the sky.
With his flight, the charging Carl underneath had nothing to crash into!
Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity and activated the machine-gun mode with his Bone Spear.
One Bone Spear used up 8000 Mana, yet Dean McKenzie had about five to six million Mana left.
Therefore, he was nowhere close to running out.
With his Flight Skill activated, he was a one-man bomber.
What?
You think a simple Bone Spear doesn¡¯t count as a bombing?
The Bone Spear wasn¡¯t the actual bomb. The real damage came from the Corpse Explosion, triggered when a Carl was killed by the Bone Spear!
While Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t activate the Lich King¡¯s Wrath, the Corpse Explosion was still impressively powerful.
With each explosion, all Carl within a few tens of meters would be instantly killed.
In no time, Dean McKenzie had reaped two-thirds of the Carl, reaching Level 100!
From Level 81 to 100, each of his four base attributes increased by 4560 points. The attributes of Dean McKenzie who was currently Level 100 had already reached an astonishing state.
Strength: 80884, Agility: 84594, Physique: 78776, Spirit: 114592
Magic Strength: 1097540
Mana: 5447300
This was only Dean McKenzie¡¯s base attributes, without considering his equipment.
If including the Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat and Lich King¡¯s Wrath, both would add 2.2 times to his Spirit, Magic Strength and Mana.
If the passive ability of the Holy Light Sword was stacked, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes would reach an incredibly high level.
As a fourth-turn, Dean McKenzie possessed six-turn attributes.
Yet this was still not his ultimate limit.
If his talent could reach level 5 before he gets to fifth-turn, his attributes would soar even higher.
Once he gets to fifth-turn, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes would be even more overwhelming.
However, the likelihood of that happening was not high, and Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t harbor such illusions.
Getting to fifth-turn with his current attributes was already extremely terrifying.
He didn¡¯t hope for a tenfold increase in all attributes like in the fourth-turn, a fivefold increase would already lead him to the level of a seventh-turn..

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Looking at the current situation, so by the time I get to 6 turns, I could pile up my attributes to kill anything in 7 turns right?¡±
At this moment Dean McKenzie felt soaring ambitions, he even considered ying around with a creature at 7 turns.
It seemed that the map detected Dean McKenzie¡¯s thought. An ear-splitting bull call suddenly echoed in the air.
¡°Here ites!¡±
Dean McKenzie promptly became alert upon hearing this unusual bull sound. He pushed his Flight Skill to its maximum, soaring directly to 2100 meters above ground.
However, despite flying so high, he still had a whopping spiritual force of 115,000 units.
Dean McKenzie could sense that Bull Mountain beneath him began to shake. A colossal bull, several tens of meters tall and hundreds of meters long, astonishingly crawled up from the mountain.
This entrance, rather startled Dean McKenzie.
What shook Dean McKenzie more was the bull¡¯s attributes.
Name: Extra Large Bull King
Quality: Extraordinary
Level: 140.5 (pseudo 7-turn) (the current map does not allow Wild Monsters of 7 turns to exist)
Feature: Extra Large (A-grade) (Passively adds 10 times the size, when actively activated, the size and all attributes can increase 10 times!)
Huge Power (B-grade) (Size increases all attributes, every doubling of size increases all attributes by 0.5 times, and also boosts skill effect.)
Attributes:
Strength: 1.8 million, Agility: 160, Physique: 1.6 million, Spirit: 120,000
Attack: 18 million
Defense: 16 million
Spirit Power: 12 million
Skill: ???
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie was bbergasted.
¡°Are there even such traits?
Wait a minute, is his present size passive or active?
Has it activated its traits?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s question was soon answered.
¡°Moo!¡±
Another bull call emerged, the bull beneath Dean McKenzie started to inte quickly, like a balloon being pumped with air.
The originally hundred-meter-long body grew to a thousand meters, and its height also reached several hundred meters.
What was even more unbelievable were its horns, which were almost hundreds of meters long.
Its attributes also skyrocketed by 10 times in an instant.
Its strength and physique soared to 18 million and 16 million respectively, while offense and defense surged directly past 100 million.
What was scarier was that when it lifted its head, Dean McKenzie felt that he was within an arm¡¯s reach of it.
With just a single bull call, it nearly sent him plummeting from the sky.
Dean McKenzie, who managed to regain his bnce, was slightly shocked.
¡°I have to say, this creature this feature has an extremely high restraining effect on my Wraith Army.
No matter how many Wraith Armies I have, he could scatter them all with just one charge.
Luckily, it restrains my Wraith Army, not me!¡±
As Dean McKenzie said that, he kicked in the Flight Skill, moving swiftly to the nk of the Bull King with his terrifying speed of hundreds of thousands.
At the same time, he activated his Appraisal Skill, directly identifying a weakness of the opponent.
At this point, the downside of being especiallyrge came into y.
Arger body meant more andrger weaknesses.
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s Appraisal Skill, the Bull King¡¯s vulnerability was exposed. It had them all over its body while most of them were located on its lower abdomen.
Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity, initiated Lich King¡¯s Wrath, and cast a Corpse Explosion on a perfectly conditioned bull corpse located beneath the Bull King.
As soon as Dean McKenzie sacrificed a perfectly conditioned bull¡¯s corpse.
¡°Boom!¡± went the explosion!
A thunderous explosion reverberated throughout the map.
The double-effect of a level 13 Corpse Explosion was triggered.
The four-dimensional attributes plus the spirit power of the bull corpse, totaled a little over 2.2 million. Along with the 368,000 attributes of Dean McKenzie¡¯s two pieces of equipment multiplied by 52, then multiplied by 2.
This single move inflicted a damage of 267 million, hitting the lower body of the Bull King.
In an instant, this seemingly enormous, but actually useless, BOSS was killed.
Even all the bulls still living on Bull Mountain also perished in that explosion.
This damage, was absolutely a screen-clearing weapon.
[You have sessfully killed the Extra Large Bull King. Your level has now reached 100. Since you have not yet progressed to your job, you cannot be upgraded!]
Following the system prompts, the gigantic bull copsed loudly.
Radiant points of light scattered out.
Seeing the points of light scattered on the ground, Dean McKenzie knew it was time to harvest!
Only then did Deane down from mid-air.
Afternding, Dean McKenzie immediately opened his attribute interface and even called out his pet, Doggy Two.
He wanted to see if there was a skill or trait suitable for this Extra Large Trait.
After searching for a while, Dean McKenzie finally gave up.
¡°There¡¯s nothing suitable in terms of skills, notpatible with Corpse Explosion, and as for Doggy Two, although the attribute amplification seems to fit well, but arger size meansrger weaknesses.
This trait seems to be specially made for bullying.
It¡¯s very effective when dealing with the ones who are not very strong, but it¡¯s deadly when encountering a match.
Forget it, let¡¯s just use it for nourishment!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, and directly initiated the Summon Skeleton, um, summoning.
Dean McKenzie summoned normal skeletons for attribute stacking.
He stacked the properties of the Holy Light Sword while extracting attributes.
After spending a full 10 hours and umting 5.5 million attribute points, only then did Dean McKenzie formally kick off the fifth enhancement of Summon Skeleton.
[You have initiated the enhancement of the skill Summon Skeleton!]
[You have used Extraction on the Extra Large Bull King, you have obtained the Extraordinary Essence ¨C Extra Large!]
[You have spent 280,000 gold coins, granted Summon Skeleton 7 million Attribute Points, and directed them towards Individual Strength!]
[You have spent 50,000 gold coins to infuse the Extraordinary Essence ¨C Extra Large as nourishment into Summon Skeleton!]
[You have spent 2,000 gold coins to infuse 10 Perfect Essence as nourishment into Summon Skeleton!]
Dean McKenzie spent over 300,000 at one go.
He put all the corpses from Bull Mountain into the enhancement of the Summon Skeleton skill,pleting his most expensive skill enhancement so far.
[Your fifth enhancement of the skill Summon Skeleton has been sessful!]
Apanied by a refreshed system prompt, a new set of Summon Skeleton attributes appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes¡.
Chapter 282:177 Giant Bear Tribe, Fifth-turn Trial
Chapter 282:177 Giant Bear Tribe, Fifth-turn Trial
Trantor: 549690339
Skill: Summon Skeleton+1 (Enhanced 5 times)
Level: Level 10 (13.3 million/50 million)
Incantation: 0 servant of bone, explore the true meaning of death!
Basic ability:
Summon: Once, summon 1 undead creature (Skeleton) at level 123
Temte Enhancement: you can spend temtes to directly enhance the temte of the skeleton from Bone Series,
Remaining usable Temtes: 0
Maximum Presence: 110/150
Mana Consumption: 25000
Trait: Bone Sublimation (Lv 10) (Special) (can activate Bone Sublimation to enhance summoned skeletons 3 times.
Current level of activation: 5/10)
Bone Rebirth (Lv 10) (Perfect) (Combines with Land of Bone to bring skeletons back to life from the bodies in the Land of Bone!
ps: Corpses revived in the Land of Bone cannot leave the Land of Bone beyond 500 meters
pss: It can also be used outside the Land of Bone, but the sess rate greatly decreases, and the level of skeletons reborn from Resurrection Fire will only be one-tenth of what they were in their previous life.
psss: the revival of skeletons of perfect quality or lower is free of charge)
This is what Dean McKenzie got by spending more than three hundred thousand gold coins.
How to say¡
It¡¯s okay!
Although 7 million attribute points only increased the skeleton¡¯s level by 3, the cost-effectiveness is extremely low,
But after all, this skill is a basic skill.
The fact that it could be enhanced to this extent is already tough; can¡¯t ask for too much.
Moreover, although it¡¯s only a 3-level enhancement, this three-level allowed Doggy Two and the others to upgrade from fifth-turn to six-turn. The strength of One-turn upgrade is drastically different.
As soon as Dean McKenzie is promoted to the fifth-turn, the power of Doggy Two and the others will change dramatically.
The Wraith Army of Dean McKenzie will be even more terrifying.
In addition, the two traits of Summon Skeleton have been greatly enhanced.
[Bone Sublimation] can provide 3 enhancements from 2 enhancements, and the maximum provision increased to 10.
At the same time, the trait [Bone Rebirth] has been upgraded to a perfect level 10.
The biggest function is that bones of perfect quality or lower can revive for free, which can save Dean McKenzie arge sum of money.
Although Dean McKenzie now has a money-making machine at home.
But he is always happy to save money.
Then, Dean McKenzie, whopleted the skill enhancement, happily moved the corpse of the Primitive Giant Bull into the Land of Bone.
He first gives the particrly gigantic Primitive Giant Bull a Bone Rebirth to try to exploit a bug and see if he can refresh an extraordinary temte piece.
The result is a free revival.
That means the temte is no longer extraordinary.
¡°Indeed, bug exploitation isn¡¯t easy. Once the trait is extracted, the quality will decrease!¡±
Since the particrly colossal Primitive Giant Bull¡¯s quality has dropped to perfect, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t intend to further extract it.
He nned to keep this Giant Bull.
After all, although its quality has dropped by one level, and [Extraordinary Gigantic] quality turned into [Perfect], it is still a formidable numerical monster.
Moreover, its size is still extremely colossal!
Dean McKenzie ns to use it as a suicide bomber.
When an enemy arrives, sacrifice it. Throw a [Lich King¡¯s Wrath], then a [Corpse Explosion], the scene will be magnificent and grand!
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie picks up all the light points on the ground.
Because of the ten times drop rate, thousands of Primitive Cows actually dropped two to three thousand light points.
After Dean McKenzie opened them all, he got almost four to five hundred thousand gold coins worth of items.
Deducting the 20,000 gold coins spent by Dean McKenzie, he made at least twenty to thirty times the original investment in this wave.
Not only that, that [Particrly Huge Primitive Giant Bull] also gave Dean McKenzie a surprise and dropped a piece of equipment at level 141.
Equipment: Bull King Gloves
Quality: Gold
Equipment Level: 141 level
Equipping Requirement: Close Combat-Unarmed Warrior Series, Level 140
Effect 1: Increase 3 times the strength and basic attack
Effect 2: All skills level +1
Effect 3: Attached skill [Bull King¡¯s Anger] (seven-turn) (level 1) (once a day)
When Dean McKenzie saw the attributes of this equipment, his eyes lit up instantly. Without a doubt, this is absolutely an equipment of the seven-turn level, or a piece of pseudo-seven-turn equipment.
It¡¯s a good item indeed, the problem is that Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t have any Unarmed Warriors.
There is a guy, though. McKenzie recalls that he seems to be an Unarmed Warrior.
¡°I remember Carl is an Unarmed Warrior!
Why don¡¯t I sell this item to him?¡±
If Carl can afford the price, then this might be a good choice for Dean McKenzie.
After all, McKenzie can¡¯t cultivate an Unarmed Warrior just for a piece of equipment, right?
That¡¯s really a little thankless.
¡°Let¡¯s see what price that guy can offer me first!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, holding the [Bull King Gloves], and leaving the map.
As soon as he stepped out, he threw the gloves in his hand to Carl, who was weing him.
¡°Gold equipment? And it¡¯s a seven-turn gold equipment?!!¡±
When Carl recognized what Dean McKenzie threw at him, those twin copper-bell-sized eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude. He looked up at McKenzie incredulously: ¡°Is it for me?¡±
Dean McKenzie was stunned by Carl¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but look Carl up and down.
¡°You may be ugly, but you sure dream big!
Giving it to you, do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±
¡°Is it impossible?¡±
Carl was a bit disappointed, touched the gloves, and then lovingly handed it back to Dean McKenzie..

Chapter 283:177 Giant Bear Tribe, Fifth-turn Trial_2
Trantor: 549690339 ]
¡°I¡¯ll give this back to you!¡±
¡°What? If it¡¯s not a gift, you don¡¯t want it?
You cannot think about buying it!¡±
¡°Are you selling it to me?!¡±
In Carl¡¯s bell-like eyes, there was a huge surprise, but it quickly dimmed: ¡°I can¡¯t afford it!¡±
¡°Believe in yourself, maybe you can afford it?
Why don¡¯t you show me the treasures from your tribal vault!¡±
Dean McKenzie made a suggestion that ordinary people would not agree to.
Was Carl an ordinary person?
As the top bull of the Giant Bull Tribe, he said: ¡°That¡¯s a good idea, let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you there!¡±
Subsequently, the impatient Carl led Dean back to the Giant Bull Tribe, passing through the residential area and finally to the most deste area.
There Dean saw the stone coffins ced in the open air and the curiosity on the faces of the bones beside the coffins.
Immediately Carl exined to Dean: ¡°Our tribal people are buried here after they die.¡±
¡°Why are there bones next to the coffins then?¡¯
¡°Oh, they did not secure the coffins.¡±
¡°No coffins?¡± Dean didn¡¯t understand, but he was greatly shocked.
¡°Yes!¡± Carl nodded his head: ¡°They failed to get the coffins!¡±
Well, this exnation was¡ totally useless.
Dean tried hard to guess the reason from Carl¡¯s exnation.
The Giant Bull Tribe valued strength, and after their warriors died, only those of at least Fifth-turn had the right to lie in the stone coffins.
But the number of stone coffins in the Giant Bull Tribe was very limited.
If the people in fronty down, the ones behind couldn¡¯t.
So the historical leaders of the Giant Bull Tribe came up with a trick. Each person, beforeying down, would deposit a record of their peak strength attribute in the coffin.
Those who cameter could open a blind box with their own peak strength attribute topete! Those who won could lie down, and those who lost would have to lie on the ground.
After fully understanding this, Dean was even more greatly shocked.
He profoundly felt the vastness of the world.
There¡¯s really any weird thing out there!
¡°Here we are!¡±
While Dean was still in shock, Carl brought him to a cave of the Giant Bull
Tribe.
Although along the way, Dean had already been stunned by the Giant Bull Tribe, once they arrived at the cave, Dean was once again shocked.
¡°No, this is your treasure vault? A cave with no door that no one watches?¡±
Dean unbelievably pointed to the cave and asked Carl.
When Carl nodded affirmatively, Dean didn¡¯t know what to say.
Well, great!
This tbault, truly, had no security guard, relying solely on honesty, huh?
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that someone will steal?¡±
¡°Why steal?¡±
Carl had a puzzled face: ¡°You can take whatever you need!¡±
At that moment, Dean was once again shocked.
Meanwhile, Dean had a faint worry. He feared there would be no decent items in this broken cave.
But when Dean went in, he found out he was wrong. The cave still had some good stuff.
A pile of gold coins was disyed there, conservatively estimated to start from thirty-five to fifty thousand.
There was also a small pile of purple gold coins.
They were all casually ced on the ground.
Dean couldn¡¯t take it anymore. How can these gold coins be so casually ced on the ground? What if someone steals them?
Kind-hearted Dean cleaned up the gold coins on the spot!
For this, Carl, who was holding the Bull King Gloves, had no objection.
He, like a simpleton, kept stroking the gloves in his hand.
Afterwards, Dean took a stroll around the cave.
in one nce, Dean got an understanding of the cave conditions.
There were gold coins and plenty of materials in the cave, but equipment, skill books, and potions were virtually none, obviously, all were used by the bulls. Nevertheless, Dean¡¯s earnings were also quite substantial after a round in the cave.
Dean found ten Secret Realm Crystals and a Brook Secret Territory Resource
Map.
Using them together, the Portable Mysterious Realm could possess a brook.
That was Dean¡¯s greatest gain.
But this gain seemed quite inadequate to exchange for a Seven-turn Golden Equipment.
so, Dean looked at Carl: ¡°Does your tribe have a Portable Mysterious Realm?¡±
¡°No way!¡±
Carl became anxious when he heard Dean mention that.
¡°That is a tribal heirloom, if I give you that, I would be the unfilial descendant of the tribe and would bemitting a grave sin!
No way, absolutely not!¡±
¡°If you can¡¯t, then forget it!¡±
It came from Dean casually. If he could swindle it, great, otherwise, Dean wouldn¡¯t insist.
¡°However, if you do not buy that, what you have here seems a bit sparse!¡±
Dean disyed his things. Once Carl saw them, he also felt as if he was taking advantage.
But he was already smitten with the gloves, holding onto them tight, not letting go.
¡ö¡öTake whatever you want, aside from the Portable Mysterious Realm and totems, everything else is fair game!¡±
¡°Really, everything?¡±
¡°Everything!¡±
¡°Including the stone coffins outside?¡±
-Which one do you want? I¡¯ll empty it for you right now!¡±
Carl¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this.
Seeing his reaction, Dean didn¡¯t know what to say. Is he not afraid of being an unflilial descendant now?
But seeing the stone coffins could be moved, Dean cast a wide.
¡°Then bring them all to me!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Carl nodded on the spot.
Without any hesitation, he directly rushed out to open the coffins one by one; and took out all his ancestors..

Chapter 284:177 Giant Bear Tribe, Fifth-turn Trial_3
Trantor: 549690339
That was indeed a riotous scene!
Of course, this can¡¯t be considered as a heinous deed by Carl. People have different cultural environments and funeral cultures; they don¡¯t pay much importance to the dead.
But even if Carl doesn¡¯t, Dean McKenzie still does.
He called Old Six to examine these stone coffins for any value.
After Old Six confirmed that the quality of these stone coffins was excellent and useful, Dean McKenzie collected them all.
But he didn¡¯t take it for free!
Dean McKenzie asked Old Six to build a giant grave for the Giant Bull Tribe.
Old Six crafted the grave swiftly and beautifully.
Within one day, he managed to build a grave,pletely adhering to the customs of the Giant Bull Tribe, and even managed to construct a structure of 3-star status.
The structure had only one effect, which was to automatically detect the strength attribute of the residents in the grave and allocate grave positions ording to different strength attributes.
At the same time, the gravesite maintained a ranking list.
It ensured that the cement of gravesites was fair, just, and transparent.
The strongest deceased had quite a lot of prestige.
Not only was he situated at the best location, but his name also upied one-fifth of the ranking list.
In essence, the arrangement of the grave had stirred up thepetitive nature of the Giant Bull Tribe.
Carl was so excited that his eyes were reddening and he was panting heavily, as if he also wanted to die to see where he would end up ranking.
¡°No, no, no, you really don¡¯t need to!¡±
Dean McKenzie quickly asked Old Six to add a live person¡¯s list.
This allowed people to clearly see their current strength peak when they were alive and predict their ranking after death.
After Old Six made the modification, everyone in the Giant Bull Tribe rushed to the grave.
Everyone wanted to see where they could be positioned in the grave.
When Carl found out that he could only rank 29th after he died, he was gasping heavily with each breath in disapproval.
He mumbled that he must be in the top three after he died!
Then he bolted out to practice and increase his skill proficiency!
Dean McKenzie, seeing the sudden flurry in the Giant Bull Tribe, suddenly found the people of this tribe quite endearing.
So, he opened the [Promotion Altar] and turned all the ordinary people of the Giant Bull Tribe into professional members, thus also bing a citizen of the Land of Bone.
After getting this done,
Dean McKenzie calcted the time, and there was just over a day left for the trade meeting in the Giant Bear Tribe.
Dean McKenzie dare not dy any longer, he took off immediately, using the Flight Skill to its full potential. It took only an hour to reach the Giant Bear Tribe.
As the destination had the Seventh Change Strongman¡¯s tribe, Dean McKenzie was extremely cautious.
He descended from the air 50 miles away from the Giant Bear Tribe and used Mrs. Hawkins¡¯s [ck Crystal of Destiny¡¯s Fog], disguising himself as a Barbarian.
¡°This can only protect against the six-turn, and it can¡¯t deceive those above the six-turn. Ah, if I had used the Tool Upgrade Scroll on this earlier, the security would have greatly increased.
Now I can only pray that there are no seven-turn or higher existences in the Promotion Temple.
Uh, seems like the Giant Bear tribe has only one seven-turn, right?
Surely they wouldn¡¯t let their own seven-turn guard the Promotion Temple, right?¡±
Although he was saying this, Dean McKenzie felt a trace of unease.
With this slight uneasiness, Dean McKenzie entered the Giant Bear Tribe and directly found Carney¡¯snding point.
¡°Sir!?!¡±
Seeing Dean McKenzie¡¯s changed appearance, Carney could barely recognize him.
Dean McKenzie temporarily withdraws the effect of the [ck Crystal of Destiny¡¯s Fog] and asks, ¡°Is everything ready?¡±
¡°It¡¯s ready!¡±
Carney nods his head, takes out an [Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher] and a ring from his bosom.
¡°Inside the ring is the first batch of goods delivered by the Li¡¯s Business Association and us.
There are a total of 100 perfect quality corpses, 100 rare Wraith Temtes, 1000 Excellent Wraith Temtes, and 10,000 Quality Temtes!
The Voucher was also purchased from the Li¡¯s Business Association, which cost 3000 Gold Coins!¡±
At this time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s focus was more on the Voucher.
¡°Is it so cheap?¡±
This price was much lower than what Dean McKenzie had initially estimated.
Carney exined, ¡°The voucher¡¯s price is standard, what¡¯s expensive is the rent price of the [Promotion Temple], the Giant Bear Tribe charged us 30,000 gold coins!¡±
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t think it was expensive. He thought that the price of 30,000 gold coins was eptable if he could rent the [Promotion Temple] once.
¡°Can we go there now?¡±
Because of the previous incident in the Giant Bull Tribe, Dean McKenzie was worried about possible obstacles and wanted toplete the promotion as quickly as possible.
As long as he couldplete the promotion, his strength would greatly increase, and he could initially grasp the power to confront the Seventh Change Strongman.
In this respect, Carney¡¯s work efficiency was satisfactory to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Everything¡¯s been arranged, we are just waiting for you!¡±
¡°That¡¯s good, let¡¯s go there now!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Then, the eager Dean McKenzie was led by Carney to the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe.
On the way, Dean McKenzie handed over some of the resources obtained from the Giant Bull Tribe to Carney.
Since Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t sure how long the promotion would take and was worried about missing the trade meeting, he asked Carney to attend the trade meeting in his absence.
¡°If possible, try to buy as many [Excellent Talent Stones] as you can.
If it¡¯s not possible, there¡¯s no need to force it, ensuring your own safety is important!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s instructions deeply touched Carney, his eyes turning red as he heavily nodded his head.
¡°Yes!¡±
In a short while, Dean McKenzie was led by Carney to the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe.
To Dean McKenzie¡¯s relief, there were no surprises this time.
Under Carney¡¯s arrangement, Dean McKenzie sessfully entered the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe.
[Detecting that your strength has reached level 100, and you have the [Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher], do you want to start the Promotion Trial?]
As Dean McKenzie stepped into the Promotion Temple, the door of the Temple closed, gray light fell on him, and the system¡¯s prompt sounded in his ears, Dean McKenzie breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°Yes!¡±

As the system prompt refreshed, Dean McKenzie appeared in the Land of Trials.
The moment hended, Dean felt a sense of loss.
¡°Hell Mode, huh?
The Wraith God named Augustus doesn¡¯t seem to be too reliable. His blessing onlysted once. Without his blessing this time, I can¡¯t enter the Abyss Mode again!¡±
Dean was very disappointed about this.
If he could enter the Abyss Mode, Dean could have gained a 10-fold increase in all attribute points upon thepletion of the trial.
¡°Never mind, Hell Mode is good enough!
Let¡¯s see what the Hell Mode boss has got, huh, just this guy!¡±
Upon seeing the target of his Fifth-turn Hell Mode Trial, Dean could hardly believe his eyes.
In front of him was a very western-style castle with a dark and gloomy color tone.
As Dean¡¯s gazended on the castle, its attributes appeared before his eyes.
Name: Century Bloodline Castle
Description: This is a century-old castle of the bloodline, currently controlled by a level 14.0 Earl of the bloodline.
ps: You need to survive at least 120 minutes under the pursuit of the Earl of the bloodline to pass the trial.
pss: The Earl is typically of Extraordinary quality
In other words, Dean¡¯s fifth-turn trial requires him to survive a full two hours under the Extraordinary quality, the terrifying existence of a Six-turn Peak?
No wonder it¡¯s a Hell Mode trial. It¡¯s so scary!
At the same time, in the deepest part of the Bloodline Castle, a voluptuous woman, with delicate features and blood-red lips, woke up in a reddish-purple coffin.
¡°Let¡¯s see, who¡¯s the little darling that will add color to my lonely and empty night this time?¡±
As she spoke, a blood-red screen appeared in front of the Countess, disying Dean¡¯s figure.
Almost at the same moment as the appearance of the screen, Dean seemed to sense something and turned his head to lock eyes with the Countess hiding deep in the castle.
Just from that one look, the Countess, who had been smiling so rxedly, anticipating a bit of fun, was somewhat stunned.
¡°The one who just walked in seems to be a tough nut to crack!
He is just a level 100 Fourth-turn, but he has such terrifying spiritual power.
He detected my surveince in an instant!
Incredible!
However!¡±
The Countess¡¯s mouth curled up in a smile, ¡°his luck isn¡¯t great. He¡¯s a mage, and I have a natural advantage against mages!¡±
As she spoke, the Countess prepared to make her move.
Before she could act, however, Dean swung his hand, and the Gate of Bone opened.
¡°Oh, a Portable Mysterious Realm, this guy has some tricks up his sleeve. What is he trying to do? Call out some help for a fight?
A Fourth-turn wraith¡what the hell? It¡¯s a Fifth-turn!
And, it¡¯s a level 120, Fifth-turn, Perfect Quality skeleton.
One, two, three,¡¡±
The more the Countess counted, the cooler her heart became.
The number had already broken through to the double digits.
Finally, after reaching 12, no more Perfect Quality skeletons appeared, but the Rare and the Excellent skeletons came out as if they were free, and in no time, around 2500 Fifth-turn skeletons appeared behind Dean.
This was close to the limit of what the Land of Bone could provide after leveling up.
The current Land of Bone had a standing skeleton limit of about 3000.
Dean had summoned 2500 in one breath.
This Wraith Army scared the Six-turn Extraordinary Temte Countess into shuddering. The coffin she had opened was closed again, and very tightly!
It seemed as if in this hot world, only the interior of the coffin was a bit cold and gave her a sense of security.
However, this was merely an illusion.
Wherever she hid in front of Dean¡¯s absolute power, it wouldn¡¯t matter.
Moreover, Dean was leading a relentless army.
The first thing the 2500 skeletons did when they arrived was to demolish!
Under themand of Old Six, they began to dismantle the Bloodline Castle brick by brick.
Hiding deep in the castle, the Countess watched her century-old family business vanish bit by bit. It was like a heartbreak.
She wished she could rush out and fight Dean for three hundred rounds.
But she didn¡¯t!
She dared not!
So, she could only watch as her castle disappeared bit by bit, and she was gradually exposed in front of the enemy.
It wasn¡¯t until Dean had dismantled half of the castle that the Countess finally worked up the courage toe out of the coffin, gritting her teeth and preparing for a desperate fight.
The moment she got out of the coffin, she exploded to her fastest speed, turned into a streak of blood light, and almost instantaneously arrived in front of Dean, baring her fangs and ¡®ahwooo,¡¯ bit at Dean¡¯s neck.
Then, ¡®crack¡¯!
The Countess was gobsmacked to discover that her two fangs had broken!
The Countess was dumbstruck!
She, the Countess, an Extraordinary Temte existence, whose teeth could even leave a mark on gold equipment of the same level, how could they break on the neck of a human mage?
She couldn¡¯t figure it out, she just couldn¡¯t figure it out!
Luckily, she didn¡¯t have to rack her brains to think about it!
From the moment her teeth broke, her fate was sealed.
Dean¡¯s sidekick Doggy Two activated the [Bone King].
Dean casually applied a [Lower Resistance], then Old Eight emerged from behind her, with his dagger ready for a forced decapitation, but Dean changed it into a backstab..

Trantor: 549690339
After all, they hadn¡¯tpletely dismantled the castle yet; they couldn¡¯t kill the boss!
Even without using Forced Decapitation, Old Eight¡¯s Backstab severely wounded the female countess.
Not to mention, an eager Old Seven, who, with a Fearless Charge, was ready to take the charge.
He even prepared a Final Strike, which scared Dean McKenzie who quickly stopped him.
At the same time, he also stopped a restless Doggy Two who was preparing for a major attack, and Old Nine who had already drawn his bow and arrow.
Dean McKenzie was so busy and tense that he was afraid that a little mishap might directly take the life of the countess.
In the end, Dean McKenzie forcefully stopped the other skeletons from making a move. He restrained the countess with Old Four and Old Eight, which dyed them for an hour.
Throughout Old Six¡¯s demolition of the castle, until he brought out the gaudy red coffin from deep inside, Dean McKenzie finally made his move and killed the unfortunate countess.
[You¡¯ve sessfully killed the [Vampire Countess] and passed the Hell Mode Fifth-turn Trial!]
This system prompt was refreshed.
A dazzling light that represents the clearance of Hell Mode shed on the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe.
Well, such a spectacle arises from going through the Promotion Trial.
Dean McKenzie had experienced a simr situation back in the Bloody Church camp when he was at the third-turn. Donald Morgan had used this point to his advantage, but Dean, then ignorant of this, had never left the Promotion Temple sites.
At this moment, the sh of light from the Promotion Temple brought some problems to Dean McKenzie.
Inside the Giant Bear Tribe, the usually indifferent guards at the Promotion Temple woke up fast when they saw the light that symbolizes the clearance of Hell Mode.
¡°Quick, notify the higher-ups, someone has passed the Hell Mode Promotion Trial!¡±
Almost instantly, the higher-ups of the Giant Bear Tribe had the identity of the Trial participant investigated by the current leading priest.
The top fighters of the Giant Bear Tribe were also alerted and prepared.
After all, being too ¡®awesome¡¯ was considered a crime in their tribe.
The existence that had cleared the Hell Mode trial had already crossed into the ¡®awesome¡¯ crime in their eyes.
If Dean¡¯s identity wasn¡¯t correct and he was too awesome, the Giant Bear Tribe would have to take action against this ¡®unspeakable criminal¡¯ who broke allws.
In a short time, the information about Dean¡¯s identity was sent to the hands of the priest holding power in the tribe.
The priest first considered Dean¡¯s strength and the force backing him.
¡°Strong Guy? Giant Serpent Tribe? Fourth-turn?¡±
Upon seeing these crucial pieces of information, some tension lifted off the priest¡¯s face.
They were just awesome, not very awesome.
After all, the participant had only been at the fourth-turn and had made it through the Hell Mode Trial, so they were only at the fifth-turn.
And in addition to that, the power backing them was simply the Giant Serpent Tribe, which was a minor force.
In this case, the Giant Bear Tribe could allow this level of awesomeness.
If Dean passed the Hell Mode Six-turn Trial, in the eyes of the Giant Bear Tribe, that would be entering severe territory of the ¡®awesome¡¯ crime.
And worse, if Dean passed the Hell Mode Six-turn Trial and the force backing him was the Giant Bull Tribe, then his ¡®awesome¡¯ crime would be too severe to be forgiven.
The Giant Bear Tribe would definitely not allow such an awesome character to exist within their domain.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that a ce like the Giant Serpent Tribe could produce a talent that could pass the Hell Mode, no, this person isn¡¯t from the Giant Serpent Tribe, but the Necromancer fattie who recently settled in the Giant Serpent Tribe.
I didn¡¯t expect him to reach the fifth-turn so quickly and even pass the Hell Mode trial. He is very unusual!¡±
The priest squinted his eyes, and then ordered his subordinates, ¡°Keep a close eye on this man, and remember the Giant Serpent Tribe too.
In the future, the Giant Serpent tribe can trade and visit us, but using our Promotion Temple is absolutely not allowed!¡±
The tolerance limit for the Giant Bear Tribe was fifth-turn awesome beings. Sixth-turn was definitely not allowed.
With those words, the high priest had effectively blocked Dean¡¯s subsequent path of borrowing the Promotion Temple from the Giant Bear Tribe.
All this while, Dean McKenzie waspletely unaware of this.
At this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of the power transformation thates with the promotion.
With the beheading of the unlucky Countess, a grey light shone onto Dean McKenzie.
His level instantly upgraded from level 100 to level 101.
The system notifications frantically refreshed.
[Your level has increased to level 101. You have received a Grant Quota, the current remaining Quota is 6.]
[Your ss has been promoted to the fifth-turn, and your [Crohn Inheritance] is now active!
You have awoken the special skill [Wraith Scourge]
You¡¯ve awakened the fifth-turn skill [Holy Light Absorption] (Crohn Inheritance Exclusive Edition)!]
[You¡¯ve advanced to Fifth-turn and awakened the skill [Life Sharing]!]
[You passed the Fifth-turn Hell Mode Trial with your attributes increased by 600%!]
Amongst the numerous system prompts, Dean¡¯s attributes underwent earth-shaking changes!
Although it was not a tenfold increase like the Abyss Mode, a 600% increase was still formidable.
Dean¡¯s basic attributes reached a mind-boggling level.
Strength: 485,000, Agility: 507,000, Physique: 472,000, Spirit: 687,000
Chapter 287:178 easily passing, fifth-turn_3
Chapter 287:178 easily passing, fifth-turn_3
Trantor: 549690339
Magic Strength: 6.585 million
Mana: 32.683 million
Dean McKenzie was floored by these figures himself.
Six-turn monsters may have over a million attribute points, but that¡¯s with the help of special traits intensifying their abilities.
But for McKenzie, as a fifth-turn, having such high basic attributes is an unimaginably high-level existence.
He even wondered if he died and went through Corpse Explosion, the resulting spectacle would be unimaginably destructive!
This spectacle would overshadow even the explosion of an oversized Carl¡¯s corpse.
Besides the terrifying attribute boost, McKenzie also sessfully unlocked two fifth-turn skills and a special skill!
Skill: Holy Light Absorption (Fifth-turn) (Exclusive inheritance from Crohn)
Level: 1 (0/5 million)
Skill Effect: Once activated, you can absorb holy light, allowing it to affect your body and greatly improve your overall resistance.
It can absorb up to 50,000 units of holy light.
The enhancement of resistance varies depending on the user¡¯s physical fitness!
Every time it absorbs holy light, there is a 1 percent chance of converting 1 percent of the holy light into fallen holy light
Skill: Life Sharing (Fifth-turn)
Level: 1 (0/5 million)
Cost: 500,000 mana points
Skill Effect: You can link yourself with a Bloodstone Demon, allowing you to share its life. As long as the Bloodstone Demon is not dead, you won¡¯t get hurt.
At the same time, you can recover from your injuries by using the Bloodstone Demon to absorb fresh blood.
Skill: Wraith Scourge
Level: 1 (0/5 million)
Skill Cost: 50 million mana points/Sacrificing soul
Skill Effect: Transforming an entire area into a Wraith Paradise, summoning arge number of wraiths, and enhancing the attributes of any wraith in the area by 500% and the effect of their skills by 50%.
Decreases the basic attributes of non-wraith units in the area by 50% and the effects of their skills by 20%
After a nce over his three new skills, McKenzie nodded in satisfaction.
¡°Good, these three skills are excellent!¡±
The only dissatisfaction McKenzie had was that the use of Life Sharing was limited to specifically the Bloodstone Demon.
Otherwise, he would have been even more satisfied!
¡°Although enabling enhancements might change the effect of the Life Sharing skill, or enhance the Bloodstone Demon, what Ick now is Grant Quota.¡±
McKenzie currently only has 6 in Grant Quota, so he didn¡¯t dare to enhance Corpse Explosion.
After all, he hasn¡¯t given any enhancements to his core skills yet!
Speaking of core skills¡
McKenzie pulled out the Skill Books from his storage the moment hepleted the profession change.
[You¡¯ve used the skill Bone Summoning (Enhanced) (Fifth-turn), you¡¯ve learned the skill Bone Greeting!]
Skill: Bone Summoning (Enhanced) (Fifth-turn)
Level: 1 (0/7 million)
Skill Cost: 1 million mana points
Skill Effect: Randomly summon a level 120 skeleton wraith to fight for you.
Ps: The probabilities of summoning skeletons of different quality is as follows: 90% for normal quality, 9% for elite quality, 0.9% for excellent quality, and 0.09% for rare quality!
Maximum skeleton existence limit: 1/20
Dean gave the skill a passing nce, it was just so-so.
Even after enhancement, the attributes of Bone Summoning were pretty mediocre.
Thankfully, Dean didn¡¯t expect much from this skill.
For him, this skill was merely a material for enhancement.
Its purpose was to strengthen Skeleton Summoning.
Or maybe, it was to enhance the fusion skill between Bone Summoning and Skeleton Summoning.
¡°Before that, let¡¯s see how far Bone Summoning can go!¡±
McKenzie said, as he began to enhance Bone Summoning.
After checking his remaining gold coins, which were around 400,000, Dean McKenzie started to hustle.
Summoning skeltons frantically, then sacrificing them.
This time, in addition to attribute points, he also used the Holy Light Sword for skelton sacrifices.
Being a fifth-turn now, Dean¡¯s Skeleton Summoning could summon six-turn skeletons. Each one could contribute 500 attribute points to him.
10 would be 5000,100 would be 50,000!
Thus, with 40,000 gold coins, he could get 10 million attribute points by sacrificing just 2500 six-turn skeletons. It was fast!
Soon, Dean had sacrificed 2500 skeletons, gaining 10 million attribute points and an extraordinary fragment.
Well, Dean also extracted a fragment from the Countess. Her trait was Vampire Bloodline, which was currently ipatible with Dean¡¯s skeleton¡¯s characteristics and his skills.
If we have to say, it would be the Bloodstone Demon. But Dean currently doesn¡¯t have extra resources to cultivate the Bloodstone Demon, so he simply obtained an extraordinary fragment first.
Since after extracting the fragment, the Countess¡¯s body was still preserved. The perfect attribute of Vampire Bloodline could be extractedter if needed.
Meanwhile, Dean¡¯s attention was not on 10 million attribute points or the extraordinary fragment, but on thest item in Holy Light Sword¡¯s attributes ¨C the current amplification attribute.
Current Amplification Attribute:
All attributes increased by 250%
Next Holy Light Judgment boosted 1250 times
This effectsts for 30 days!
This attribute amplification is earth-shattering, but Dean also knows that this is basically the limit of the Holy Light Sword.
There¡¯s not much room left for enhancement.
In addition, at this level of enhancement, Dean can¡¯t even hold the sword for one second, let alone using the Holy Light Judgment.
¡°It seems, Holy Light Resistance still needs to be enhanced!
Otherwise, these attributes are basically decorations!¡±
As he spoke, Dean waved his hand and put the Holy Light Sword back into the storage ring.. His eyes fell on Bone Summoning and started enhancing the skill¡

[You have spent 400,000 gold coins, granting the skill[Summoning Skeleton]
10 million attribute points, enhancing individual strength!]
[Your skill[Summoning Skeleton]has been sessfully enhanced!]
Skill: Summoning Skeleton (Enhanced) (Fifth-turn) (One time enhanced)
Level: Level 1 (0/70 million)
Skill expenditure: 1 million mana
Skill effect: Randomly summon a level 140 skeleton wraith to fight for you.
ps: The probability of summoning an ordinary-quality skeleton wraith is 90%, elite-quality skeleton wraith 9%, excellent-quality skeleton wraith 0.9%, rare-quality skeleton wraith 0.09% and perfect-quality skeleton wraith 0.009%!
The highest skeleton existence limit: 1/40
This was the costliest and simplest skill enhancement Dean McKenzie ever made.
Spending 400,000 gold coins directly raised the upper limit of [Summoning Skeleton] to level 140, which is more cost-effectivepared to [Summon Skeleton].
After all, Dean McKenzie spent over 300,000 gold coins on [Summon Skeleton] just to enhance it by 3 levels!
After the enhancement of [Summoning Skeleton], Dean McKenzie immediately took out the [Intermediate Skill Fusion Enhancement Scroll].
He tried to fuse [Summon Skeleton] and [Summoning Skeleton]. After confirming that they could be fused, he stopped.
Mainly because, Dean McKenzie is currently at fifth-turn, and the skeletons he summoned are already at six-turn.
Currently, they are enough. Even if the summoning limit can be increased to seventh-turn through skill fusion, Dean McKenzie cannot summon it. It would be better to hold off for now.
Try to enhance the level and quality of both skills as much as possible.
Ideally, enhance a couple more times to boost the foundation of the two skills. This way, once Dean McKenzie reaches the sixth-turn, he can directly fuse the two skills to summon a seventh-turn beast!
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie kept the [Intermediate Skill Fusion Enhancement Scroll].
He then turns his attention to the dogs at home.
As Dean McKenziepleted his job transfer, his dogs had already leveled up to 123, reaching the Sixth-turn!
Since they reached the sixth-turn, Dean McKenzie was finally able to use some of his valuable items.
He took out from his storage a knight¡¯s spear, a dagger, one six-turn mage¡¯s [Absolute Ice], one six-turn archer¡¯s [Ice Rain of Arrows], and one six-turn assassin¡¯s [Divine Thief].
He handed these items to his dogs.
Old Seven received that six-turn gold-quality spear.
Equipment: Knight¡¯s Wind
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Usage requirements: Sixth-turn Knight
Effect 1: Base attack increased by 50%, charge speed increased by 100%
Effect 2: Knight skill level +2
Effect 3: Attackes with [Impact Pierce] trait (Perfect quality) (The faster the charge speed, the farther the charging distance, the higher the skill amplification effect.
The amplification range is from 100% to 1500%)
Old Seven truly loved this gold-quality spear and held it firmly while he wildly ran around the Land of Bone.
Just as excited as Old Seven was Old Eight.
After all, among the four dogs this time, it was the only one to receive two items from Dean McKenzie.
Having both a dagger and a skill, Old Eight was thrilled with both.
Name: Shadow de
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Usage requirements: Sixth-turn Assassin
Effect 1: Increase 50% base agility, 50% base strength,
Effect 2: Assassin skill level +2
Effect 3: Comes with the trait[Power of Shadow] (Perfect) (Ability to absorb the power of the shadow, to enhance skill damage.
Shadow power absorption cap at 5 million)
Skill: Divine Thief (Six-turn)
Level: 1(0/6 million)
Consumption: Spirit power 300,000
Effect: use on a target, has a 90% chance to steal an item from the target
Old Eight truly loved the dagger but didn¡¯t quite understand what the [Divine Thief] skill was.
But it loved everything Dean McKenzie gave to it, making it quite happy.
Moreover, what made it happier was that Doggy Two didn¡¯t get anything this time while it received two items.
What does this mean?
This shows that Old Eight, the skeleton, is the single recipient of favoritism!
Old Eight was thrilled and smug.
It took the dagger and skill to show off in front of Doggy Two.
As a result, it got beat up.
But it took this beating cheerfully and willingly.
Even though it was getting beaten up, and its bones were broken, Old Eight still felt victorious.
These two dogs are super supportive.
Next is the supportive dog.
Old Nine is a supportive dog and started studying after receiving the skill book.
While it was learning, two system prompts shed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Your[Wraith Servant] (Doggy Nine) has learned the skill book[Ice Rain of Arrows]!]
[Your[Wraith Servant] (Doggy Nine) has learned the skill [Frost Rain of Arrows]!]
Dean McKenzie doubted himself for a moment until he opened Old Nine¡¯s attribute panel, realizing he wasn¡¯t mistaken.
[Ice Rain of Arrows] had turned into [Frost Rain of Arrows] for Old Nine.
Skill: Frost Rain of Arrows (six-turn)
Level: 1(0/6 million)
Spirit Power Consumption: 800,000
Skill Effect: Shoot an arrow that causes basic attack multiplied by 2 range damage over a 500m*500m area around the target.
Meanwhile, enemies in this area are affected by the freezing effect, reducing their movement speed by 30%

There is a one percent chance of causing a freeze effect
¡°Not bad, a decent area attack.1¡®
At least Dean McKenzie is pretty satisfied.
Then, Dean turned his attention to Old Six, wanting to see Old Six¡¯s skill learning results.
But Old Six didn¡¯t learn anything at all.
He was the kind of dog that was just not into schmoozing.
However, it¡¯s not that he deliberately defied Dean, he was just too focused on the Bone Tomb, he didn¡¯t even notice when Dean took the skill book out.
Seeing that Old Six was busy, Dean didn¡¯t dare to rush him.
After all, Old Six¡¯s focus had shifted to being an architect, his mage status was significantly weakened. The most important task for him now was building the
Bone Tomb.
The Bone Tomb project which currently Old Six is working on, is the most important project. Dean is thinking of upgrading the Bone Tomb so that he could take off, he didn¡¯t dare to waste Old Six¡¯s time.
¡°If he doesn¡¯t learn, he doesn¡¯t learn. It¡¯s not a must-learn skill!
Dean put away the skill book, told Doggy Two to tie Old Seven up tightly, so as
not to let him collide with Old Six and disturb Old Six¡¯s work.
Later, Dean was about to close the Gate of Bone, when suddenly the system message refreshed.
-Your citizen Finch Olmedo has passed through the Valley of the Dragons with
an SS Level rating!¡±
¡°He killed the dragon in the Valley of the Dragons a total of 87 times, your jurisdiction power has activated 7 times, and you have obtained 7 dragon corpses (rare)!¡±
¡°Your earnings have been exchanged as per your settings for corpses!¡±
¡°You have obtained one dragon corpse (Third-turn) (Perfect)!
Hearing this system prompt, Dean immediately felt rejuvenated, his attention focused on Finch Olmedo.
To his surprise, Finch Olmedo had already reached a Level 72 Third-turn in the rtively short period since theyst met.
Moreover, his gains in the Valley of the Dragons this time seemed to be massive.
His whole aura was vastly different from before, already possessing the demeanor of a powerful man.
¡°Not bad, this kid is bing more and more outstanding!¡±
Watching Finch Olmedo¡¯s growth, Dean felt the sense of aplishment of a son growing up.
Indeed, Dean really felt as if Finch Olmedo were his own son, bringing a pleasant surprise every now and then.
Especially this time, he brought back 7 rare and 1 perfect quality dragon corpses.
All of these were precious goods for Doggy Two, which could be used to improve Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Body.
Of course, this alone was not enough to upgrade Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Body to A-grade.
But it was not a big problem as Dean still had the Valley of the Dragons.
¡°Open the Valley of the Dragons to the Giant Lizard Tribe, and guide the people there to challenge the Valley of the Dragons. With some time, I can harvest abundant fruits!¡±
It¡¯s easy to solve Doggy Two¡¯s food problem, but what to do with Finch Olmedo refrained Dean a little.
At this moment, Finch Olmedo was already Level 72 Third-turn, and the Land of Bone might be a little small for him to continue training.
Although he could still be raised.
But if he continues to raise him in the Land of Bone, Finch Olmedo might be ruined by Dean.
¡°Moreover, this kid wants to experience the world as well. He wouldn¡¯t want to be trapped in the Land of Bone forever.
Hmm, when I get the chance, I¡¯ll let Finch Olmedo and some others out!¡±
In this way, Dean can provide Finch Olmedo and others with an opportunity to see the world, and at the same time, Dean can asionally receive gifts sent from afar by these ¡°sons¡±.
After looking at Finch for a while, Dean exited the Land of Bone.
When Dean stepped out of the Land of Bone, he found that his people had already exited the Land of Trials and were at the Promotion Temple. Looking at the six-story high Promotion Temple in front of him, Dean felt a rush of excitement.
¡°This Level 6 Promotion Temple seems to have a special bond with me, it¡¯d be nice if I could move it directly to the Land of Bone!¡±
If that were the case, then Dean¡¯s ¡°sons¡± could smoothly progress to Six-turn.
Dean could also proceed with a Six-turn within the Land of Bone.
It¡¯s a beautiful thought.
But considering the current level of his Land of Bone and the legendary existence of a Seven-turn in the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean could only reluctantly give up this tempting idea.
Subsequently, Dean stepped out of the Promotion Temple.
As soon as he stepped out, Dean saw a line of barbarians standing outside the Promotion Temple.
As soon as Dean came out, the leading barbarian, who was nearly two and a half meters tall, came up to Dean, looked Dean up and down, and said, ¡°Someone wants to see you!¡±
Dean raised an eyebrow: ¡°Who?¡±
¡°Why ask so many questions? Juste with us!
The barbarian resembling a bear, humphed coldly and reached out his hand to grab Dean, apparently intending to drag Dean away!
This move raised Dean¡¯s eyebrow.
Bone Resistance erupted instantly!
With Dean¡¯s current spiritual power reaching as high as 650,000, a simple Bone Resistance move was enough to knock the towering barbarian off his feet, causing him to spit blood and fly away.
This was after Dean had held back, otherwise, just this one blow would¡¯ve been lethal for the barbarian.
Even so, Dean¡¯s instantaneous Bone Resistance was like poking a ho¡¯s nest. The surrounding barbarians were instantly enraged!
How dare someone make trouble in their tribe! That¡¯s crossing the line!
The surrounding barbarians surrounded Dean all at once..

Seeing the situation, Dean McKenzie activated his ¡°Bone Armor¡± and adopted abat stance.
Having spent a while in the South Barbarian, Dean knew that he couldn¡¯t show weakness when facing trouble here. He had to be tough when necessary and fight when needed!
Although he had no idea why this group suddenly surrounded him.
But it didn¡¯t matter, given the current circumstances, Dean was not afraid to fight.
With his current strength, even if it was the Seven-turn existence in the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean had the ability to confront it.
However, just as Dean adopted a ready-to-fight stance, a voice suddenly rang out.
¡°Stand down!¡±
Apanied by a hoarse, elderly voice, the group of barbarians ready to fight Dean stopped.
At the same time, an elderly-looking Barbarian, who seemed to be at least 80 or 90 years old, appeared in front of Dean.
Dean¡¯s gaze fell on the Barbarian, his eyebrows raised.
Even without using the Appraisal Skill, Dean could almost discern the other¡¯s strength.
At the very least, it was the strength of the fake Seven-turn at the Six-turn Peak.
Because this Barbarian seemed much more dangerous than the veryrge Carl he encountered before.
While Dean was sizing him up, the Barbarian¡¯s gaze also fell on Dean.
After sizing Dean up for a while, the old Barbarian narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Should I call you Strong Guy, or should I call you Bruce Hodge?¡±
Dean didn¡¯t mind being called by his fake identity. After all, that identity couldn¡¯t withstand scrutiny in the first ce.
Moreover, it wasn¡¯t stated before his Promotion Trial.
Now that he hadpleted his Promotion Trial, Dean didn¡¯t mind whether his fake identity got exposed or not.
So Dean casually replied: ¡°A name is just a code, call me whatever you like!¡±
¡°So it seems, Bruce Hodge might not be your real name!¡±
The old man narrowed his eyes.
Dean shrugged, ignoring the other¡¯s topic question: ¡°What¡¯s the intention behind your tribe¡¯s show today?¡±
Since Dean didn¡¯t engage in his topic, the other didn¡¯t continue on Dean¡¯s conversation thread either.
¡°Allow me to introduce myself. I¡¯m Yorick Meyer, the high priest of the Giant Bear Tribe!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not interested in who you are, I just want to know what you¡¯re nning to do?¡±
¡°As far as I know, the Giant Serpent Tribe has been very active recently, striking quite a few deals!¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t have any business with me, I¡¯ll take my leave!¡±
Both Dean and Yorick Meyer seemed to be talking past each other, with a palpable tension in the air that suggested whoever engaged in the other¡¯s subject, lost.
However, with Dean being in the other¡¯s territory, he couldn¡¯t seem to gain the upper hand in this contest.
¡°If we wanted, we could extinguish all of the Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯s business!¡±
High Priest Meyer¡¯s statement made Dean¡¯s brow furrow.
¡°What exactly are you trying to do?¡±
High Priest Meyer gave a lightugh, containing a calm sense of control: ¡°You just came out from the Giant Bull Tribe, right?
You have a good rtionship with the leader of the Giant Bull Tribe, don¡¯t you?¡±
Yorick¡¯sment made his intention and purpose crystal clear.
¡°I have only known him for three days, we don¡¯t have much of a rtionship!¡±
¡°Whether you have a rtionship or not doesn¡¯t matter, help me give this to him!¡±
As he spoke, Yorick threw a scroll into Dean¡¯s hand.
Dean looked down and saw the attributes of the item in front of his eyes.
Name: ¡°Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll¡±
Usage Condition: Six-turn (Level 140)
Description: After use, a Seventh-turn Extermination Task can be started. Completion of the task can progress to Seven-turn.
Upon seeing the properties of this item, Dean was stunned.
He looked up incredulously at Yorick.
The Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s previous schemes against Carl were unknown to Carl himself, but Dean was aware.
They simply didn¡¯t want Carl to break through to the Seventh-turn, so why would they give the scroll to Dean and ask him to give it to Carl at this point?
Even without thinking much, Dean could guess there must be a scheme involved.
¡°Why¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t harbor too much unnecessary curiosity, just give this to Carl and I¡¯ll overlook your rudeness. I can also allow the Giant Serpent Tribe to continue doing business in the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s territory.¡±
Yorick spoke with a patronizing tone, as if Dean waspletely in his control.
Hearing this, Dean almost lost his temper.
¡®Giving him face, huh?
Old bastard, does he really think he¡¯s got me under his thumb?¡¯
Dean was almost ready to flip the table.
Looking at the group in front of him, Dean confidently knew that he could defeat them.
But being able to win was one thing, deciding whether to fight was another story.
Besides, while he could win this fight, whether or not he couldbat the Seven-turn leader was another matter altogether.
Moreover, if they fought and Dean couldn¡¯t suppress the Giant Bear Tribe, all his business here would be suspended.
The Giant Serpent Tribe might also be wiped out.
So, after hesitating, Dean chose to hold back.
In fact, he chose to temporarily hold back.
¡°I¡¯ll give the item to him!¡±
¡°Very good, you made a wise choice!¡±
High Priest Meyer nodded in satisfaction, then added, ¡°He¡¯s at the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s trading venue. You can go and give him the scroll!¡±
He was clearly pushing Dean every step of the way!
Suppressing the impulse to smash a fist into Yorick¡¯s face, Dean picked up the scroll. Under the escort of the members of the Giant Bear Tribe, he left Promotion Temple and headed for the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s trading venue.
The High Priest watched Dean leave, a gloating smile on his face.
It was as if he was watching amb falling into his trap.
Shortly after, under the guidance of the members of the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean quickly arrived at the trading venue of the Giant Bear Tribe.
¡°Carl is in the center of the venue, give him the scroll immediately!¡±
As soon as they arrived at the venue, the member of the Giant Bear Tribe apanying Dean urged him.
However, Dean¡¯s footsteps halted.
A mocking smile appeared on his face, ¡°Give it to Carl? Why should I give it to him?
This good thing, isn¡¯t it better for me to keep it for myself?
Oh, I must say one thing, thanks for the gift from the lovely folks of the Giant Bear Tribe!¡±
While speaking, the Barbarian next to Dean was immediately dismissed.

At the Giant Bear Tribe, inside the Promotion Temple.
High Priest Yorick Meyer began to get busy after Dean McKenzie¡¯s departure.
He started working on the real n.
In fact, having Dean deliver the Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll to Carl was just an impulsive move on his part.
If he wanted to give that scroll to Carl, he had numerous ways to do it.
Jokingly, to carefully plot against Carl was ack of respect for his own intelligence!
He specifically chose Dean to deliver it, because Dean had inconveniently finished the Trial in Hell Mode.
Although Dean¡¯s Hell Mode Trial was not incredible enough to trigger the unforgivable crime of magnificence, the fact he used the Promotion Temple of the Giant Bear Tribe to achieve such a breakthrough made Yorick ufortable.
Yorick couldn¡¯t bear this difort, hence, he retaliated immediately.
He chose a method of retaliating that would make Dean ufortable.
¡°Once Carl is dead, I will make the man who handed him the scroll the murderer. Then, he will face the wrath of the Giant Bull Tribe!¡±
As for whether doing this would be inappropriate?
Yorick doesn¡¯t think so!
A fifth-turn Necromancer who happened to have passed the Trial in Hell Mode? So what?
Even if he has thebat power of a Six-turn, so what?
As long as he is in the Giant Bear Tribe and Dean still wants to continue the trade with the Giant Serpent Tribe, he can finish him off!
Yorick is not worried that Dean will ruin his ns.
¡°He wouldn¡¯t dare!
He¡¯s not foolish and knows what can be done and what cannot be done!¡±
As his words fell, a ne on the High Priest¡¯s chest lit up.
The High Priest¡¯s face instantly darkened.
¡°He¡¯s courting death!¡±
In the trading zone, as the barbarians of the Giant Bear Tribe who were with Dean got their throats slit, a smirk came on Dean¡¯s face: ¡°I¡¯m not a fool!¡±
You could tell the temperament of the Giant Bear Tribe from how they unequally dealt with the Giant Bull Tribe.
And now, they¡¯re obviously targeting me.
Considering the current situation, it¡¯s nearly impossible for me to use their Promotion Temple again.
So why should I continue ying nice with them?
Besides!¡±
Dean cast his gaze on the scroll in his hand, his face once again revealing a look of both shock and joy.
¡°They handed me this valuable item, which paves the way for my Seventh-turn, how could I disappoint them?¡±
You could say that from the moment Dean saw this object, he began to crave it.
This was a key to achieving a Seventh-turn.
Dean didn¡¯t know if he would be able to get another one in the future, so he had no reason not to take this one when it was handed right to him.
Give it to Carl? No way! Absolutely no way!
Dean isn¡¯t trying to steal from Carl.
The only thing was, this item was quite tricky, and he was not confident that Carl would be able to handle it!
As for Dean¡¯s deal with the Giant Serpent Tribe?
With this precious artifact offered, what trade could possibly match its value?
Although Dean could judge from their actions of wanting him to give the item to Carl, that it might be a trap. But despite the risks, the item still could lead to the Seventh-turn.
Without knowing the exact details of the Seventh Layer Promotion Temple, Dean decided to take the item.
¡°Not only do I want this scroll, but I also will make them regret threatening me!!¡±
Dean is really vindictive!
He gazed at the trading zone in front of him and snapped his fingers lightly.
Apanied by a crisp snap, the Gate of Bone opened.
Doggy Two and all his skeletons, up to the maximum summon limit of 150, had achieved a Sixth-turn Level 123, and the remaining 2350 skeletons were all Fifth-turn Level 120 entities without exception.
The mighty Wraith Army, instantly poured out.
With the emergence of these wraiths, the rm at the Giant Bear Tribe immediately went off.
¡°The highest level of alert?
What¡¯s going on?¡±
The suddenly triggered highest-level rm put the entire Giant Bear Tribe on edge immediately.
Meanwhile, the High Priest, who was the first to receive the news, was already rushing to the trading zone.
But when he arrived, it was already toote.
The entire trading zone had thoroughly fallen into chaos.
On seeing the dense Wraith Army that suddenly appeared at the trading zone, the High Priest, who came full of anger, ready to let Dean feel the wrath of the Giant Bear Tribe, changed his face.
¡°How could that be possible? didn¡¯t that Bruce Hodge just finish the Trial and achieve a Fifth-turn?
How could he possibly have such terrifying strength!¡±
Although the High Priest didn¡¯t calcte in detail, he could roughly estimate that the Wraith Army at the trading zone must have at least a thousand or two, and there was not a single one below a Fifth-turn.
Even more, he saw several figures of entities at the Sixth-turn level.
He preliminarily estimated that there must be at least dozens of them.
Aside from theck of a Seventh-turn, this army¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t much weaker than their Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s.
The High Priest immediately began questioning his choice.
If he had known earlier about Dean¡¯s strength, he wouldn¡¯t have made this move.
If he had known about Dean¡¯s strength, he either would have not provoked Dean or directly taken severe measures to capture Dean.
He definitely wouldn¡¯t have made this stupid mistake.
But it¡¯s toote to say anything now!
The Wraith Army in front of him has already emerged, and he just has to, and could only, face it.
What relieved the High Priest slightly was, despite unting the Wraith Army, Dean had not acted against them yet..

This means that there¡¯s still a possibility for a truce!
Or rather, the fact that the other side presented this wraith army but hasn¡¯t taken action clearly suggests they¡¯re expecting him to negotiate.
Obviously, they¡¯re wary of the chieftain!
This is one of the few good pieces of news for the High Priest at present. ¡°Unfortunately, the chieftain cannot intervene carelessly at this moment. Otherwise, killing this young man directly would inevitably resolve our current crisis!¡±
The High Priest assumed that once the Necromancer died, his wraith army should naturally dissipate.
Regardless of whether his conjecture can stand, even if it could, their chieftain is currently unable to intervene carelessly.
Moreover, now they are inside their tribe.
If they fail to kill Dean McKenzie in one strike, the consequences could be troublesome!
No one wants a violent confrontation within their own home.
Thus, after reestablishing hisposure, the High Priest greeted him with a smile: ¡°Mr. Hodge, what are you doing¡¡±
My master doesn¡¯t have time for conversation with you!¡±
Before the High Priest could finish speaking, Carney stepped forward interrupting him: ¡°He said your actions have angered him severely!
You must pay a sufficient price to pacify him, otherwise, the consequences will be severe!¡±
Hearing this, the High Priest¡¯s face darkened looking at Carney before him. Several times, his urge to kill nearly slipped control!
As the High Priest of the Giant Bear tribe, in the absence of the chieftain¡¯s intervention, he was virtually the supreme authority of the tribe.
Within the influence of the Giant Bear tribe, it has been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him this way.
¡±1 remember you being the chieftain of the Giant Serpent tribe, right?
I have quite an impression of your Giant Serpent Tribe!¡±
The High Priest responded in a t tone.
Although his tone was indifferent, the concealed meaning was quite clear.
Kid, know your ce!
Standing on the wrong side would have severe consequences.
To this, Carney calmly responded, ¡°It¡¯s an honor to be remembered by you, but right now I am merely a messenger for my master!
He instructed me to tell you that you only have half an hour.
If within half an hour you can¡¯t present something to appease him, then he will vent his rage directly!¡±
Seeking death!
The surrounding air shivered around the High Priest, his hairs stood on end. It did not take much to discern the High Priest¡¯s mood from his upright hair. He was furious, but what good did it do?
The fury at hand solved nothing.
If a battle broke out, winning was uncertain, and the price the Giant Bear Tribe would have to pay was absolutely uneptable to him.
¡°Fine, very well!
What does he want?¡±
¡°That depends on your sincerity. Remember, you only have half an hour!¡±
Having said that, Carney retreated.
The High Priest, watching Carney retreat, his eyes nearly spouted fire.
Nheless, he gave the order, having his men prepare the items.
Of course, as the highest authority of the Giant Bear tribe, the High Priest was not merely going topromise.
Besides arranging for the materials, he also began to evacuate those who were not native to the Giant Bear tribe while mobilizing and assembling the tribe¡¯s forces.
At this moment, the High Priest exhibited the basic quality of a decision-maker.
He was prepared for all eventualities.
If he could cate and resolve the issue with Dean McKenzie through negotiation, then that would be ideal. Otherwise, he would not shy away from a fight; he did not fear a battle!
Even if he could cate Dean McKenzie¡¯s temper, as soon as Dean McKenzie withdrew the wraith army or left the Giant Bear Tribe, the High Priest intended to attack him.
After all, at this moment, the power disyed by Dean McKenzie was a little too terrifying.
If you offend a Necromancer like him, you must annihte himpletely. Otherwise, as long as Dean McKenzie lives, he would be ever anxious! Time passed little by little as the Giant Bear Tribe made preparations. The High Priest, who needed time to prepare, didn¡¯t return until half an hour was almost up.
However, the Necromancer Army did not react at all this time.
Dean McKenzie did not show up, and neither did Carney.
The entire Necromancer Army was as silent as death.
Seeing this, the High Priest realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, the ne around his neck lit up again before long.
This time, it was the Treasure Vault of the Giant Bear Tribe that was under attack.
A group of skeleton Assassins had suddenly appeared and attacked their treasure vault!
¡°What?!¡±
Upon hearing the news, the High Priest changed colors and wanted immediately to order protection on the treasure vault. However, before he could give themand, he turned his attention to the Wraith Army. Although the High Priest did not know about the ¡®The Thirty-Six Stratagems¡¯ or diversionary tactics.
He quickly realized that the assault on the Treasure Vault was just to distract him. If he dispersed his forces there, Dean McKenzie would grasp the opportunity to break out.
¡°I won¡¯t give you that chance!
Since you¡¯ve started this, then go to hell!
Attack!¡±
At the High Priest¡¯smand, the barbarians of the Giant Bear Tribe swarmed forward, rushing toward the Wraith Army.
The initial stationary Wraith Army began to react at the same time the barbarians attacked, the battle instantly erupted!
The Giant Bear Tribe had an absolute advantage right off the bat.
The Wraith Army no longer had any Six-turn wraiths, and the rest were all Fifth-turn wraiths.
Despite theirrge numbers, they couldn¡¯t withstand the presence of Six-turn and above, even the High Priest¡¯s pseudo Seven-turn forces were in action.
In the wake of the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s total mobilization.
The Wraith Army here simply couldn¡¯t hold back, they were constantly retreating.
However, despite the continuous retreat of the Wraith Army, there wasn¡¯t
much of a smile on the face of the High Priest¡¯s side.
Without the presence of a Six-turn entity intervening, it was clear that Dean McKenzie had run away!
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the Wraith Army in front of him had beenpletely defeated.
As the Wraith Army fell, the trading venue was once again under the control of the Giant Bear Tribe. The High Priest¡¯s face turned even grimmer at this moment.
Because, as he expected, Dean McKenzie had run away.
Not only had he fled, but he had also taken Carney, all the Six-turns wraiths,
and even Carl from the Giant Bull Tribe.
Damn it, none of them were dead!
Worse yet, the entire trade market was.
Whether it was Gold Coins or Materials, all of the items and even some of the buildings had been cleared out.
Looking at the empty trading venue, the High Priest¡¯s face turned pale.
He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
At this moment, the ne on his chest lit up again, bearing the news from
the Treasure Vault: ¡°High Priest, the Treasure Vault has fallen!¡±
Upon hearing this news, the High Priest immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
He turned his head to look at the Treasure Vault with disbelief: ¡°Impossible, absolutely impossible, isn¡¯t there a guardian watching over there?¡±
The reason why the High Priest chose not to reinforce the Treasure Vault area was partly out of fear that Dean McKenzie might escape, and partly owing to the presence of the gatekeeper there.
The gatekeeper¡¯s strength could rank in the top three among the Giant Bear Tribe.
His raw power was hardly inferior to his own.
It was precisely because of the gatekeeper¡¯s presence that he felt reassured.
¡°High Priest, the gatekeeper is dead!
He was beheaded and died in one shot!¡±
Upon hearing this news, the High Priest trembled.
It was then that he realized he had seriously underestimated Dean McKenzie¡¯s strength, even after bringing out the entire Wraith Army, he had still underestimated McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie, who could silently y the gatekeeper, was at least no weaker than him.
No, judging from the way the killing was executed, it was certainly not McKenzie who made the move.
If his skeleton could possess this much strength, one can only imagine McKenzie¡¯s own power.
Noticing this, the High Priest began to regret.
Only now did he realize that he, through his rash actions, had provoked a formidable enemy for the Giant Bear Tribe!

South Barbarian, the Giant Serpent Tribe!
After leaving the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean McKenzie immediately returned to the
Giant Serpent Tribe.
And the first thing he did on returning to the Giant Serpent Tribe was to move the whole Giant Serpent Tribe into the Land of Bone.
The Giant Bear Tribe, with their prideful nature, would definitely seek revenge
against the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Although Dean McKenzie made a scene at the Giant Bear Tribe, manipting the Great Priest of the Giant Bear Tribe at will, and even emptied their Treasure
Vault,
He was still wary of the Giant Bear Tribe.
His previous actions felt as if he were dancing on a tightrope in the sky.
His Wild Intuition was shing constantly.
Very dangerous, it¡¯s going to end!
That¡¯s alright, it looks like it won¡¯t end!
No, it¡¯s going to end!
That¡¯s fine, it¡¯s safe again!
Every time Dean McKenzie thought about wreaking havoc in the Giant Bear
Tribe, his Wild Intuition would tell him it would end badly.
After testing several times, Dean vaguely guessed that the leader of the Giant
Bear Tribe was in a special state and could not act rash.
Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be like this.
That feeling made Dean realize the power of a Seven-turn.
So, after pulling that stunt, Dean McKenzie decided it would be better to keep a low profile.
That¡¯s why he came back to move the Giant Serpent Tribe.
Otherwise, if the leader of the Giant Bear Tribe got a chance to act, things wouldn¡¯t be so fun on his side.
With the moving of the Giant Serpent Tribe, Dean McKenzie¡¯s original n was dered a failure.
The Giant Serpent Tribe¡¯swork and resources were now cut off.
The business of Dean McKenzie¡¯s temtes and bodies had to be put on hold.
He couldn¡¯t even do it secretly.
After all, Dean McKenzie is the only one interested in this in the whole South Barbarian area, the Giant Bear Tribe could easily find out if they wanted to.
Looking at the Giant Serpent Tribe gradually moving into the Land of Bone,
Dean sighed, ¡°Although the Giant Bear Tribe smashed a trade conference and lost a treasure vault, on my side, I also lost the original channel. All in all, it¡¯s a draw!¡±
Well, he was lucky the Great Priest didn¡¯t hear that.
Otherwise, he would have spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood from rage.
What Dean McKenzie lost was only a channel that could be reestablished at any time, while they lost part of the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s hundreds of years of savings and reputation.
The money they lost, even if they took out just one percent of it, they could easily rebuild the channel somewhere else, and even better!
Dean McKenzie only came to know this after getting the resources from the
Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s Treasure Vault.
Because Dean and Old Eight left separately, old eight just rushed back after a few hours when Dean had already been back to the Giant Serpent Tribe.
As soon as he returned, Old Eight proudly presented more than a dozen storage tools stuffed to the brim to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Well done! My Old Eight is the best!¡±
Dean spared no praise for Old Eight, who had achieved a great feat.
Pupil Fire of Old Eight seemed to take off in happiness after receiving praise from Dean McKenzie.
Then, just as Dean was about to take these storage tools, Old Eight suddenly withdrew them.
Dean was taken aback.
Before he could understand what was happening, Old Eight dragged him towards Doggy Two.
As soon as Old Eight started dragging, Dean instantly understood what it wanted to do.
Just as he assumed!
When Old Eight led Dean to Doggy Two, who was busy coordinating the move, it proudly handed over the dozen or so storage rings to Dean.
Pupil Fire of Old Eight swayed wildly, much like a dog expecting its owner to pat and praise it.
Dean didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.
However, since Old Eight had made such a significant contribution, Dean was going to reward it.
So he patted Old Eight¡¯s head again and gave his praise in a solemn manner.
This made Old Eight so happy it seemed ready to take off.
Um, it was very happy to receive praise from its master, especially in front of Doggy Two. It felt ten times happier!
At this moment, Old Eight felt like it had defeated Doggy Two!
It seemed to have found a way to beat Doggy Two!
Dean had finally received those dozen or so storage rings from Old Eight.
He took those storage rings and returned to the Land of Bone.
In the Land of Bone, Dean had a dedicated ce for storing resources.
It wasn¡¯t a treasure vault or anything, just a valley where everything was casually piled up.
All his previous gains were stacked in the valley.
The massive piles of things looked quite spectacr.
But spectacr is one thing, and whether it¡¯s convenient for managing materials is another.
A huge amount of materials piled up in a mess made it difficult to find what you needed.
And because everything was simply piled up, a lot of ces that needed careful storage could easily get damaged because they weren¡¯t well protected.
¡°It seems that setting up a convenient storage and management vault has be an urgent matter!¡±
But at this time, the research and breakthrough of the Bone Tomb by Old Six had also reached a critical moment.
-Ah, that¡¯s more important, let¡¯s wait until the Bone Tomb is finished!¡±
What surprised Dean was, as soon as he finished speaking, the tip from Golden Finger refreshed.
¡®Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Six) haspleted the upgrade of the Bone Tomb!1
¡°What?¡±
This sudden system prompt made Dean taken aback.
Immediately, Dean who had reacted dashed towards Old Six.
There isn¡¯t much distance in the Land of Bone, almost instantly, Dean reached Old Six.. He lowered his head and saw a brand new Bone Tomb!
Chapter 294:181 Talent Upgrade_2
Chapter 294:181 Talent Upgrade_2
Trantor: 549690339
Dean McKenzie discovered that the original cemetery had changed.
It had grown noticeably, both in scale and grandeur.
It had originally been a small private graveyard, but now, it bore the semnce of an Emperor¡¯s Tomb.
The area expanded by hundreds of times.
Moreover, under Dean¡¯s spiritual power, he could see a striking red coffin at the center of the cemetery.
The coffin served as the nucleus, around which two other coffinsy. On the left, the original Vampire Coffin, and on the right, a massive stone coffin.
These two coffins stood like guardians.
There was also a circle of stone coffins farther away.
The entire cemetery housed a total of 21 coffins!
While Dean observed thendscape, the new attributes of this Bone Tomb appeared before his eyes.
Name: Bone Tomb
Building Level: Intermediate (3 stars)
Effect: Once you enter the Bone Tomb, you will experience the embrace of darkness, where you will find peace of mind. Your affinity for darkness will increase, enhancing the efficiency of learning dark-system skills by 400%.
Death Epiphany (Lying in the coffin, you will feel the pressure of death. Surviving the pressure of death, your skill level will increase.
It is even possible to enhance the skill andprehend new ones)
First-level Death Pressure Slot: 1
Second-level Death Pressure Slot: 2
Third-level Death Pressure Slot: 3
PS: You can use it once a month for free,
Additional usage requires the payment of gold coins.
An initial sum of 200,000 gold coins and each subsequent use would increase the cost by 100%.
The initial gold coin amount refreshes every 30 days
After scanning these attributes, Dean realized the improved effects were quite significant.
¡°Let¡¯s try it!¡±
The Giant Serpent Tribe had already entered the tomb, so Dean McKenzie called all the dogs at home.
Hey in the first slot, while Doggy Eight, who had done great merit, and Old Six, who had just built the Bone Tomb, upied the second slot.
Then there were 18 positions in the third slot.
Old Two, Old Four, Old Seven, and Old Nine took one position each without saying anything.
After determining that the remaining fourteen slots were enough to fit the Skeleton Giant Warriors, Dean filled all of them with his Skeleton Giants.
With all dogs in ce, Dean activated the [Death Epiphany].
The momentt he triggered [Death Epiphany], his experience was absolutely different from earlier.
Dean felt he was in the coffin, which was pressing down on him, a sense of intense danger almost made him bolt out of the coffin.
Luckily, Dean had experienced such situations before and gritted his teeth to endure it.
The feelingsted for a full ten minutes, gradually intensifying.
Dean felt like he was truly about to be pulverized by the coffin.
In this state of despair, a bright idea suddenly came to him: [Bone Resistance].
If he could strengthen his [Bone Resistance], could he not break free?
Could he withstand the pressure if he enhanced his [Bone Armor]?
He thought about [Flight Skill], considering how to use it to escape.
After a few minutes, Dean had an epiphany, and the red coffin opened. The system prompt updated.
[Your skill [Bone Resistance] has been upgraded to level 10!]
[Your skill [Bone Armor] has been upgraded to level 10!]
[Your skill [Flight Skill] has been enhanced, and the level has been raised to 6!]
Skill: Flight Skill (Four-turn) (Once Enhanced)
Level: 6
Cost: 1000/1 Second
Effect: Can fly up to a height of 8400 meters and move in the air at a speed of 70% spiritual power multiplied by 30.
At the same time, it can break free from a power restraint of less than thirty times the spiritual power.
Trait: High-speed flight (Perfect) (Level 1) (Flight speed increased by 200%)
Three skills, with a total growth of over 10 skill levels. [Bone Resistance] and [Bone Armor] were only second-turn skills. The important thing was [Flight Skill].
This skill improved by three levels, greatly enhancing all its values.
If Dean McKenzie¡¯s original flight skill could outrun a seventh-turn closebatant, now he felt he couldpete with a seventh-turn who was skilled at flying.
Thus, Dean¡¯s [Death Epiphany] reaped substantial rewards.
But that was not all. After all Dean went in there with others.
As soon as he finished listening to his system prompt, they also got their refresh.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Six) skill [Hand of the Underworld] has improved to level 15, and skill [Absolute Chill] has improved to level 3!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) skill [Forced Decapitation] has improved to level 3 and [Divine Thief] has improved 2 levels!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) skill [Bone Eruption] has improved to level 4!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) skill [Guardian Shield] has improved to level 3!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven) skill [Final Strike] has improved to level 2!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) skill [Death Arrow] has improved to level 4!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Skeleton Giant Warrior) has awakened a six-turn skill [Forced Taunt]]
Amid the bombardment of system prompts, the skill levels of all Dean¡¯s dogs were upgraded.
Among the most noticeable ones were Doggy Eight with [Forced Decapitation], Doggy Two with [Bone Eruption], Doggy Four with [Guardian Shield], and Doggy Nine with [Death Arrow]..
Chapter 295:181 Talent Upgrade_3
Chapter 295:181 Talent Upgrade_3
Trantor: 549690339
These three skills each advanced 1 to 2 levels.
Most importantly, as these skill levels increase, these four skills can be enhanced for a second time.
Just in time, Dean McKenzie has just obtained a batch of temtes.
He can entirely enhance these four skill levels.
If these four skills are enhanced like this, theirbinedbat power will significantly increase.
Additionally, Dean McKenzie was quite curious about the ¡°Giant¡¯s Crush¡± skill awakened by the Skeleton Giant.
He opened it immediately to check it out.
Skill: Forced Taunt (Six-turn)
Level: 1 (0/6,000,000)
Spirit Power Consumption: 1,000,000
Skill Effect: Upon activation, force all units within 100 meters into taunting mode!
This skill appears to be quite decent.
Dean McKenzie stroked his chin and effortlessly renamed the Skeleton Giant
Warrior to Doggy Three.
Next, Dean McKenzie ns to ce priority on training Old Three.
As for the somewhat evil name, Doggy Three.
Dean McKenzie felt it was because he was too weak when he was young to handle the name, but now things are different, Dean McKenzie feels his strength has greatly increased.
He should be able to handle this name now.
After naming Old Three, Dean McKenzie got back to work.
He didn¡¯t enhance Doggy Two¡¯s skills. Mainly because he remembered that he had gotten quite a few things from the trading fair.
Without going into detail, Dean McKenzie decided to first check his assets.
See how much money he currently has.
Only when he has a clear number, can he carry out his ns.
Then, Dean McKenzie returned to his favored activity ¨C calcting his earnings.
However, this time, Dean McKenzie was about to drop, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of his spoils.
With an army of over a hundred skeletons, it took a full five hours to thoroughly sort through everything.
Therefore, as soon as the recount was over, Dean McKenzie immediately ordered Old Six to build a warehouse capable of automatically consolidating and calcting resources.
Dean McKenzie did not want to do this kind of work a second time.
Although the work was arduous, the rewards were sweet.
After the total count, Dean McKenzie found that he had brought back more than 4.8 million gold coins from the Treasury of the Giant Bear and approximately 15,000 purple gold coins.
Adding to his original savings, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gold coins stock broke through five million for the first time.
That¡¯s quite a hefty amount.
The cash earning was only a small part of Dean McKenzie¡¯s total profit this time.
Apart from the money, Dean McKenzie also obtained arge quantity of potions and equipment.
Not to mention the potions, just in terms of equipment, Dean McKenzie has enough to equip a Skeleton Legion of 3000.
And they were all top-quality equipment of at least Bronze rank.
Besides, he also had a plethora of skill books, instance scrolls, and various tools.
They were simply too many to count.
Among them, the most important for Dean McKenzie were a few things.
2 Secret Realm Modification Scrolls
133 Secret Realm Crystals
One Excellent Talent Stone and three High-Quality Talent Stones!
The first two can be used to upgrade the Land of Bone and improve the current rules of the Land of Bone.
Thest two can be used to enhance Dean McKenzie¡¯s talent.
These are all currently fundamental for Dean McKenzie.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw the High-Quality Talent Stone, he immediately started to use it, simultaneously upgrading his current talent.
[Your talent ¡°Extraction¡± level has increased, current level: 5!]
Talent: Extraction
Level: 5 (0/50,000,000) (Excellent Talent Stone: 0/3)
Mana consumption: 1000
Effect: Can extract attributes from a creature that has not been dead for more than 1800 minutes.
Dean McKenzie casually looked at the attribute and retracted his attention.
There¡¯s never anything interesting to see in talent attributes, its specific effects still need to be tested personally by Dean McKenzie.
So, Dean McKenzie started to get busy again.
Summoning skeletons, offering sacrifices, then extracting skeletons!
After one round, soon enough, Dean McKenzie had a basic understanding of the effect of Level 5 talent.
First is the imparting part!
Dean McKenzie tested it out and roughly found:
Ordinary Temte: Level 10, 300 points
Elite Temte: Level 10, 600 points
Excellent Temte: Level 10, 900 points
Rare Temte: Level 10,1200 points
Perfect Quality: Level 10, 2400 points
That is to say, Dean McKenzie is currently at Level 102, his four-dimensional attributes can be increased by an additional 12,000 points each, a total of 48,000 points.
Doggy Two and others at Perfect Quality can be increased by 12,000 points. These attribute points are really not much for both Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two at this point.
However, Dean McKenzie suddenly had a bold idea.
¡°What would a Level 1 Perfect Quality dog look like in terms of strength if I raise its attributes to 2400 points right from the start, and then upgrade it from Level 1 to Level 123?¡±
Dean McKenzie did a rough calction.
¡°A Perfect Quality skeleton, from Level 1 to 20, each level increases by 3 points, which is 60 points in total, add 2400, that would equal 4860 points in attributes.
After the first-turn upgrade, the increase will be 50%, reaching 7290 points in attributes.
From Level 21 to 40, each level increases by 6 points, which is 114 points, plus another 4800, that would equal 12204 points.
After the second-turn upgrade, the increase will be 50%, amounting to 18306 in attributes.
From Level 41 to 60, each level increases by 12 points, which is 228 points, plus another 4800, that would be 23334 points.
After the third-turn upgrade, the increase will be 50%, reaching 35001 points in attributes.
From Level 61 to 80, each level increases by 24 points, which is 456 points, plus another 4800 points, that would be 40257.
The fourth-turn upgrade bes terrifying, with a base increase of 3 times. My previous increase was 10 folds, even if it¡¯s short by half to 5 folds, that¡¯s still 200,000 attribute points.
The upgrade following that, the fifth-turn, will be over a million in base attribute points, and the sixth-turn could reach five to six million in base attribute points!¡±
After running these calctions, he looked at his own base attribute points and seemed to find: ¡°Eh, how did I get over two million attributes?¡±
Dean McKenzie was stunned at first, then he realized that he was enhancing the 4-dimensional attributes.
In other words, excluding the enhancement in four dimensions, his fifth-turn attribute points are only about 500,000, almost half less than his calctions.
It might even be lesser.
Dean McKenzie instantly gasped: ¡°This seems doable!¡±
Dean McKenzie named this n the Zero Start Cultivation n!
Chapter 296:182 Major Skill Enhancement
Chapter 296:182 Major Skill Enhancement
Trantor: 549690339 I
Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡°Raise from Scratch Project¡± had just been initiated when it immediately faced a hard knock.
He discovered that he seemed unable to handle it.
Because he can¡¯t summon a level 1 skeleton!
No, to be precise, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t summon a Perfect Quality skeleton through ¡°Summon Skeleton¡±.
On one hand, Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± level is too high.
The almost level 11 ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± starts with level 123!
Trying to summon a level 1 skeleton would be beyond Dean McKenzie¡¯s ability.
This step directly halted Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡°Raise from Scratch Project¡±.
¡°Damn, this is the first time I¡¯ve learned that having a high skill level, being too strong, is not always a good thing!¡±
After experimenting several times and failing, Dean McKenzie could only reluctantly put this n on hold for now.
Luckily, this n isn¡¯t something that could increasebat effectiveness immediately.
Furthermore, from the angle of leveling up talent, the more this n is executedter, the greater its benefits will be.
Now it is still only at level 1 with Perfect Quality and level 5 talent.
In the future, if Dean McKenzie can create a level 1 Extraordinary Quality with level 6 talent, or even a level 1 Legendary Quality with level 7 talent, or a level 1 Epic Quality with level 9 talent, then he would truly defy heaven.
Comforting himself in this way, Dean McKenzie quickly adjusted his mentality.
His attention once again went back to the benefits at hand.
First, he used the ¡°Secret Realm Modification Scroll¡± and the ¡°Secret Realm Crystal¡±.
In one go, Dean McKenzie upgraded and solidified the rules of his Land of Bone.
One, anymon human that enters the Land of Bone automatically bes a citizen of the Land of Bone, and with Dean McKenzie¡¯s approval can freely enter and exit the Land of Bone.
Two, Dean McKenzie can strip all power from the citizens of the Land of Bone and at the same time, he has absolute authority over the benefits the citizens gain from killing monsters.
Three, upon the death of the citizens of the Land of Bone, their bodies will return to the Land of Bone, transforming into wraiths, and their souls will be at ease.
These were the original rules of the Land of Bone.
On this basis, Dean McKenzie made some modifications and added a few new rules.
First, Dean McKenzie added the existence of ¡°Bone Mark¡±. The ¡°Citizens of the Land of Bone¡± could apply to enter the ¡°Land of Bone¡± through the ¡°Bone Mark¡±.
At the same time, professionals could be ¡°Citizens of the Land of Bone¡± by epting the ¡°Bone Mark¡±.
Second, Dean McKenzie added that the corpses of monsters killed by citizens of the Land of Bone would be transported to the Land of Bone, but citizens can earn extra money. However, citizens with gathering abilities are excluded.
Third, Dean McKenzie added that citizens of the Land of Bone could not reveal the existence of the Land of Bone in any form.
After adding and reinforcing these rules, Dean McKenzie used the remaining 50 points of the Secret Realm Crystal.
He created a ce that connects the ¡°Land of Bone¡± with the outside world.
In this area, Dean McKenzie nned to build a ¡°City of Bone¡±.
ording to Dean McKenzie¡¯s concept of the ¡°City of Bone¡±, this is a city entirely aimed at the citizens of the Land of Bone.
The main functions are two-fold.
One is to set up a firewall.
To prevent the citizens of the Land of Bone from bringing in all kinds of misceneous things after they go out.
The other is to better manage the citizens of the Land of Bone. Dean McKenzie could use the ¡°City of Bone¡± to guide the citizens of the Land of Bone to collect the resources he needs.
This will also be an important link connecting Dean McKenzie to the citizens of the Land of Bone.
However, the concept of this ¡°City of Bone¡± is just an idea at the moment, just an empty piece ofnd.
Dean McKenzie nned to have Old Six build it after thepletion of the warehouse.
After perfecting the rules of the Land of Bone and creating the initial concept of the ¡°City of Bone¡±, Dean McKenzie turned his attention back to Doggy Two and the others.
The current upgrade of the ¡°Bone Tomb¡± increased the power of Doggy Two and the others, which filled Dean McKenzie with hope.
Naturally, Dean McKenzie is also ready to throw resources into boosting their power.
Only, Dean McKenzie nced at the resources he had on hand.
When it came to increasing power, Dean McKenzie¡¯s main resources were from two areas.
One was money, and the other was temtes.
As for money, Dean McKenzie currently held 5 million gold coins, and about 20,000 purple gold coins.
This tranted to roughly 25 million gold coins.
This amount should be sufficient.
However, he fell a bit short on the temtes.
Dean McKenzie did a recount, including the temtes he got from this transaction with Boris Holt¡¯s Business Association and those obtained from the Giant Bear Tribe.
Dean McKenzie currently had about 20,000 Elite Temtes.
2,000 Excellent Temtes, 300 Rare Temtes. Perfect temtes? There were none.
But he had around 280 Perfect Quality corpses.
Dean McKenzie calcted, without considering other factors,
It would take about 30,000 Elite Temtes to get one Extraordinary Trait, 3,000 Excellent Temtes to get one Extraordinary Trait, 30 Rare Temtes to get one Extraordinary Trait, and 30 Perfect Quality corpses to get one Extraordinary Trait.
In other words, the resources Dean McKenzie has could create about 12 Extraordinary Traits.
With six Extraordinary Traits, Dean McKenzie started calcting with his fingers.
¡°Old Four¡¯s ¡®Guardian Shield¡¯s¡¯ ¡®Damage Negation¡¯ definitely needs to be enhanced, this is for survival!
Old Eight¡¯s ¡®Forced Decapitation¡¯s¡¯ ¡®Ghost de¡¯ and ¡®Strong Stealth¡¯s¡¯ ¡®Power of Shadow¡¯ also need enhancing.
The next one is Old Two¡¯s.¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gazended on Old Two¡¯s attributes..
Chapter 297:182 Skill Major Enhancement—2

Second-turn: Bone Eruption (level 4) (Enhanced) Heavy Destruction (level 3)
Fourth-turn: Steel Bones (level 1) (Enhanced)
Looking at Doggy Two¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie had to admit how terrifyingly powerful Doggy Two had be now as a six-turn.
¡°Doggy Two is extremely strong in all aspects, but there are two problems, one isck of endurance!¡±
At first, Doggy Two¡¯s endurance was only 15 seconds. Now, with the increase in Doggy Two¡¯s power and learning the ¡°Steel Bones¡± skill, its endurance has also increased.
Currently, Doggy Two¡¯s endurance canst between 3 to 10 minutes.
The wide range is due to whether or not Doggy Two has used the ¡°Explosive Bone Power¡± from ¡°Bone Eruption¡±. Using this trait, Dean McKenzie can only hold on for 3 minutes afterunching an attack.
If not, it canst ten minutes.
This alsoes down to another problem with Doggy Two, which is theck of a core explosion!
Currently, Doggy Two¡¯s strongest attack is the ¡°Explosive Bone Power¡± from ¡°Bone Eruption¡± along with ¡°Heavy Destruction¡±.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s initial estimate is that it could potentially deal a two to three hundred million damage.
It¡¯s already very strong, but Dean McKenzie believes that Doggy Two can be even stronger.
¡°I have two Intermediate Skill Fusion Scrolls here, one of which is unused. So, I¡¯ll use it on Doggy Two. I¡¯ll merge Doggy Two¡¯s ¡®Heavy Destruction¡¯ with another output skill.
Ideally, this skill can carry a charge and a lock-on!¡±
Dean McKenzie said while rummaging through his skill storehouse.
At this moment, Dean McKenzie had thousands of skill books in his hands.
As Dean McKenzie browsed, he found a skill book named ¡°Mad Charge¡±!
Skill Book: Mad Charge (Fifth-turn)
Skill Type: Melee, Charge
Learning Requirement: Warrior, Fifth-turn
Dean McKenzie grabbed it and tossed it onto Doggy Two.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) learned the skill ¡°Mad Charge¡±!]
Skill: Mad Charge (Fifth-turn)
Level: 1 (0/5 million)
Consumption: 500,000 spirit power
Effect: Activates skill, charges the target.
Charge speed is the sum of strength and agility multiplied by 5, and upon stopping, amplifies the next attack/skill by 500% damage
The skill seems okay, Dean McKenzie quickly took out an ¡°Intermediate Skill Fusion Scroll¡±.
[Sess in using ¡°Intermediate Skill Fusion Scroll¡±!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) has fused the skills ¡°Heavy Destruction¡± and ¡°Mad Charge¡± to form a new skill, ¡°Mad Destruction¡± (Six-turn)!]
Skill: Mad Destruction (Six-turn)
Level: 1 (0/6 million)
Skill Consumption: 1.2 million
Skill Effect: Activates skill, charges the target.
Charge speed is the sum of strength and agility multiplied by 7, upon stopping, deals damage equal to the sum of strength and attack multiplied by 10 to the enemy.
Damagees with level 1 Destruction effect.
Destruction (Rare) (Level 1) (Completely destroys the area, making it impossible to heal that area, to a certain extent can prevent the target from resurrecting!)
¡°Perfect!¡±
Dean McKenzie was extremely satisfied with this new skill.
He started investing resources in the newly acquired skill.
First and foremost, he started with Old Four.
[You have activated the strengthening of Old Four¡¯s skill ¡°Guardian Shield¡±!]
[You consume 1000 gold coins, the trait ¡°Damage Reduction¡± of ¡°Guardian Shield¡± absorbs 20,000 Elite Essence!]
[You consume 5000 gold coins, the trait ¡°Damage Reduction¡± of ¡°Guardian Shield¡± absorbs 1000 Excellent Essence!]
[You consume 500,000 gold coins, giving ¡°Guardian Shield¡± 10 million attribute points, assigning it to enhance Defense!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four)¡¯s skill enhancement has seeded!]
Then, Dean McKenzie checked Old Four¡¯s skill.
After adding the Golden Equipment, ¡°Distant Mountain Shield¡± and ¡°Strength is Power¡±, the level of ¡°Guardian Shield¡± rose to 6, and its attributes underwent drastic changespared to before.
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn) (2 enhancements)
Level: 3 + 3
Consumption: 1.8 million Spirit Power
Effect: Upon activation, can open Guardian Shield, linking 6 units, transferring the damage they receive to yourself.
Passively increases own physique 31 times plus 73.6 million fixed defense, absorbing 40% of damage (below Six-turn)
Trait: Damage Reduction (Extraordinary) (Level 1)
Effect: Able to passively reduce 95% of the damage you take (below Six-turn)
Ps: Immune to ¡°Armor Break,¡± ¡°True¡± etc., damages below Extraordinary quality
Pss: Damage reduction from the trait is prioritized over defense
However, when Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell on the use (below Six-turn), he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.
Being ineffective against Seven-turn means this skill can¡¯t provide much security to Dean McKenzie when facing a Seven-turn.
Those hundreds of thousands spent were, to some extent, a waste.
But there¡¯s nothing he can do about it.
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie began to invest resources again.
After Old Four, Dean McKenzie¡¯s focus shifted to Old Eight.
Spending over 500,000, he was able to twice enhance Old Eight¡¯s ¡°Forced Decapitation¡±..
Chapter 298:182 Major Skill Enhancement^
Chapter 298:182 Major Skill Enhancement^
Trantor: 549690339 ,
Skill: Forced Decapitation (Fourth-turn) (twice enhanced)
Level: 3
Consumption: 150,000 Spirit Power
Effect: Upon activation, it attacks the enemy¡¯s neck, causing Strength plus Agility plus Attack times 31.
There¡¯s a thirty-five percent chance of triggering the beheading effect, capable of taking the enemy¡¯s head!
Trait: Ghost de (Extraordinary) (Level 1)
Effect: (Active) Once activated, it can directly attack the enemy¡¯s soul. The attack effect is fifty percent of the skill¡¯s attack plus 11 million.
Nextes Doggy Two.
On Doggy Two¡¯s end, Dean McKenzie spent around one million and a hundred thousand to enhance two skills.
Skill: Bone Eruption (Second-turn) (Twice enhanced)
Level: 4
Consumption: 2 million (Spirit Power)
Base: Upon activation, attack increases by 10016500, all attributes increase by
four hundred percent,,
Trait: Explosive Bone Power (Extraordinary) (Upon activation, can increase the damage of the next blow by 10 times,
PS: This effect is valid for extraordinary attributes)
Skill: Mad Destruction (Six-turn) (ime Enhanced)
Level: 1 (0/60 million)
Skill Consumption: 2.4 million
Skill Effect: Activate the skill to charge at the target.
The charging speed is Strength plus Agility times 7, and the moment it stops, it deals an attack to the enemy, causing Strength plus Attack times 10, plus 10 million damage.
The damage carries a level 1 effect of Destruction.
Destruction (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (Completely destroys the region, making the region unheble, to a certain extent, can prevent the target from resurrecting!)
With more than one million spent by Dean McKenzie, Doggy Two became the first under Dean¡¯smand to possess three extraordinary skill traits.
The horror of itsbat power can thus be imagined.
But that¡¯s not all from Dean McKenzie¡¯s wave.
After enhancing the skills of three doggies, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t hoard the scarce resources left under him and used them all!
One was used in Old Nine¡¯s ¡°Death Arrow¡±, and one was used in his own ¡°Flight
Skill¡±!
Skill: Death Arrow (Fourth-turn) (Twice enhanced)
Level: 4 (450k/25 million)
Consumption: 1.2 million Spirit Power
Effect: Causes damage to the target of Strength plus Agility plus Attack, times
32 plus 11 million.
There¡¯s a one percent chance of triggering an instant death effect (Perfect).
Trait: Armor Break (Extraordinary) (Level 2) (Skill damage carries a sixty-five percent Armor Break)
Skill: Flight Skill (Fourth-turn) (Twice Enhanced)
Level: 6
Consumption: 10,000/second
Effect: Can fly up to 18,400 meters high and move in the air at a speed of 170%
of Spiritual Power plus times 30.
At the same time, it breaks free from the shackles of Strength below Spiritual
Power plus 10 million times 30.
Trait: High-speed Flight(Extraordinary) (Level 1) (flight speed increases by
500%
(cannot be slowed down by sub-extraordinary features))
in this wave, Dean McKenzie spent over 3 million Gold Coins in one breath, and his avable temtes were nearly used up, leaving only about 100 of Perfect Quality corpses.
The result is that the strength of Dean¡¯s side has increased in all aspects. Unsatisfied with this boost, Dean McKenzie spends his remaining nearly 2 million Gold Coins without hesitation.
[You consumed 200,000 Gold Coins and activated [Bone Tomb]!]
[You consumed 400,000 Gold Coins and activated [Bone Tomb]!]
[You consumed 800,000 Gold Coins and activated [Bone Tomb]!] Dean McKenzie spent 1.4 million and activated [Death Epiphany] three times in a row.
The feeling was like dying anding back to life.
It was really unbearable!
However, although the process was very painful, the results were quite satisfying!
[YOU have experienced three [Death Epiphanies], your skill [Summon Skeleton] has been upgraded to Level 12, [Bone Fang] to Level 15, [Bone Resistance] to Level 12, [Skeleton Summon] to Level 3!]
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Two), [Bone Eruption] has been upgraded to Level 9, [Mad Destruction] to Level 3, [Bone King] to Level 9!]
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Eight), [Forced Decapitation] has been upgraded to Level 5, [Divine Thief] to Level 4, [Strong Stealth] to Level 10!]
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Four), [Guardian Shield] has been upgraded to
Level 6!]
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Nine), [Death Arrow] has been upgraded to Level 5, [Ice Rain] has been upgraded to Level 3!]
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Three), [Forced Taunt] has been upgraded to
Level 4!]
With more than one million spent, Dean McKenzie¡¯s skill level skyrocketed, and his strength also soared with the increase in skill levels.
However, despite the significant increase in skill level andbat power, Dean McKenzie could still feel clearly that hisbat power was still not up to the seventh-order standard.
The most direct proof is that Old Four¡¯s [Guardian Shield] upgraded to Level 6, plus equipment Level 9, still not enough to eliminate the (below Six-turn). This means that the defense against seventh-order existence is not to say that it¡¯s useless, at least, it¡¯s not very effective.
¡°It seems that the skills below the intermediate level are basically useless to the seventh-order and above existence!
This was not good news for Dean McKenzie, it meant that his previous enhancements might now go to waste.
This was something Dean McKenzie could not ept.
¡°Does this mean I have to reduce my investment in low-turn skills in the future?
But what about the ones I¡¯ve invested in before?¡±
Dean McKenzie had a strong urge to redo his skills and attributes once again. ¡°I wonder if there¡¯s a way to redo my skills?¡±
As Dean McKenzie said this, he checked out his upgraded skills, and when his gaze fell upon [Bone Fang], he paused.
He found that although the level of Bone Fang was Level 15, the skill proficiency seemed to be full.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Bone Fang¡¯s proficiency is already full but it can¡¯t be upgraded, does this mean that the highest level for a skill is only 15?¡± This was another piece of bad news for Dean McKenzie.
And when Dean McKenzie opened the [Bone Fang] skill to check it out, he noticed that there was a gray [Sublimation] behind this skill.
Dean McKenzie instinctively clicked it, and a system prompt appeared. [Your current talent level is not enough to perform skill sublimation!]
Chapter 299: Ancient Curse 183
Chapter 299: Ancient Curse 183
Trantor: 549690339 I
The talent isn¡¯t enough to enhance.
This system notification nearly gave Dean McKenzie a heart attack!
Isn¡¯t this just dangling a carrot in front of someone?
Wait, what exactly is this so-called enhancement?
Also, is the skill level capped at level 12?
Can it not exceed level 15?
What would happen if the skill level surpasses 15?¡±
Dean McKenzie was extremely curious about this.
He quickly looked over his own skills.
It seems to be the case.
After his skills reached level 15, the increase from the equipment seemed to be ineffective.
Even the skill enhancement of fLich King¡¯s Wrath J is capped at level 15!
¡±Wait, the effect 4 of Lich King¡¯s Wrath doesn¡¯t seem to limit the skill level cap. Theoretically, after activating fLich King¡¯s Wrath] , shouldn¡¯t the Corpse Explosion Skill be able to break through level 15?¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he looked over at his Corpse Explosion Skill.
This skill had a base level of 1.
Lich King¡¯s Wrath added 1, Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat added 1, and activating
Lich King¡¯s Wrath increased it by 10 for a total level of 13.
It¡¯s still one level short of the 16 Dean McKenzie wants.
But this problem isn¡¯t a big deal for Dean McKenzie.
Dean had just plundered the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯sir and found two golden equipment items of a fifth-turn Mage within its confines.
Equipment: Magic Power
Quality: Gold
Level: 120
Effect 1: Increases basic spiritual power by 1.3,
Effect 2: Skill level +1 (up to level 10)
Equipment: Skill Ne
Quality: Gold
Level: 120
Effect 1: Increases skill effect by fifty percent
Effect 2: Skill level +2 (up to level 10)
After equipping these two items, Dean looked at his skill (Corpse Explosion] and found that its level had reached level 6.
The critical moment has arrived.
To test out his idea, Dean left the Land of Bone, and had Old Four put the
(Guardian Shield] on a poor skeleton.
Next, Dean threw a corpse next to the skeleton.
At the same time, Dean activated (Lich King¡¯s Wrath] I
A surge of power enveloped Dean¡¯s body and the system notification refreshed. [You have activated fLich King¡¯s Wrath] . Your skill (Corpse Explosion] has increased by 10 levels and is now level 16!]
Seeing this system notification, Dean was both shocked and ecstatic. He immediately checked the attributes of the Corpse Explosion Skill.
Skill: Corpse Explosion (Enhanced) (Seven-turn)
Level: 16
Mana Consumption: 15 million
Effect: Use on a corpse to inflict damage equal to the sum of the four-dimensional attributes and Spirit/Mana values of the corpse in life plus the caster¡¯s Spirit multiplied by 60 to everything within 1000 meters, ps: Attack range reduces by twenty percent for each additional 1000 meters of range
Looking at the words ¡°Enhanced¡± and ¡°Seven-turn¡± on the attribute screen,
Dean¡¯s eyes lit up.
Afterwards, Dean conjured a Corpse Explosion Skill.
The corpse he threw exploded on the spot, and the unfortunate skeleton protected by Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield was shattered at once.
Even Old Four was gravely injured by the bacsh.
In one hit, Dean experienced the terrifying power of the enhanced version of the Corpse Explosion Skill.
Without a doubt, Dean¡¯s attack just now was definitely a Seven-turn level attack, capable of causing damage to a Seven-turn entity.
¡°That body I threw was just a regr six-turn skeleton corpse. If I were to use Carl¡¯s corpse, I would probably level the entire Giant Bear Tribe in a single strike.¡±
Dean, having tested out the strength of the Corpse Explosion, couldn¡¯t help but feel both shocked and ecstatic.
However, before Dean could celebrate for too long, two pieces of equipment ¡®snap¡¯ and shattered.
[Your equipment fSkill Ne] and (Magic Power] are destroyed due to overload!]
Hearing this system notification, the smile fell from Dean¡¯s face.
¡°The skill is strong, but the consumption is not small!
One use has destroyed two pieces of golden equipment!
Dean hastily took out Lich King¡¯s Wrath and looked it over thoroughly with the Appraisal Skill. Upon confirming that Lich King¡¯s Wrath wasn¡¯t damaged, Dean finally let out a sigh of relief.
¡°Fortunately, Lich King¡¯s Wrath is sturdy, so that¡¯s not an issue!
But, even though Lich King¡¯s Wrath is fine, I can¡¯t have two pieces of golden equipment getting destroyed every time I use a skill, right?¡± Although Dean had some resources at the moment, he couldn¡¯t afford such a high consumption rate.
He thought about it and concluded that he could likely only support this consumption once more.
¡°It seems I need to level up the Corpse Explosion Skill. Yes, if I find a suitable trait in the future, I should also enhance it.¡±
Since this skill was Dean¡¯s current trump card, he would definitely invest more resources into it.
Dean checked his status and saw that he had about 6 slots remaining.
And about 600,000 gold coins left.
At most he could add 12 million attribute points, but Dean felt this was not enough, therefore he decided to temporarily shelve the skill enhancement project for now.
With Dean¡¯s n to enhance the Corpse Explosion Skill now on hold, the resources he upset from the Giant Bear Tribe were almost depleted.
The Giant Serpent Tribe had moved into the Land of Bone, and it was time for Dean to confront the next situation.
¡°The earnings from this operation weren¡¯t small, but I think it will be difficult for me to achieve a six-turn with the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s Promotion Temple. Unless I can defeat that Seven-turn entity from the Giant Bear Tribe..¡±
Chapter 300:183 Ancient Curse_2
Chapter 300:183 Ancient Curse_2
Trantor: 549690339
¡°But this, well¡¡±
At this point, Dean McKenzie shook his head.
He felt it should be quite tricky.
Although he seemed to have a means to contend with seven-turn now.
But after all, there¡¯s only one means, and it¡¯s hard to say if it will work. If he cannot y beyond them, the oue might be grim.
Even though Dean McKenzie has some life-saving items on him, those are desperate measures, and he doesn¡¯t want to fight to the death.
¡°Seems like I¡¯ll need to find another six-turn Promotion Temple.
If I can discover one, that¡¯s simple. I currently have a Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll. Once I aplish the six-turn, I can naturally progress to seven-turn.
As long as I reach seven-turn, I can sweep the South Barbarians single-handedly without any problems!¡±
Of course, while Dean McKenzie stated so, he knew in his heart that finding another Level 6 Promotion Temple would be highly challenging.
On the South Barbarians¡¯ side, Promotions Temples of level six and above are all controlled by top-tier tribes like the Giant Bear Tribe.
They basically won¡¯t lend them out.
Carney¡¯s situation was exceptional; he¡¯s just an average power in this area, both in personal strength and the force behind him.
He posed no threat and could produce enough resources, so the Giant Bear Tribe loaned it to him.
Originally, Dean McKenzie could have also taken this route.
But now, this path has been virtually blocked.
Even if Dean McKenzie found other tribes, the hope of borrowing a Six-turn Promotion Temple could be dim.
And Dean McKenzie did not dare to go there easily.
After all, forces with a Level 6 Promotion Temple would at least have a Seven-Turn power.
And the South Barbarian¡¯s forces are intertwined; if Dean McKenzie offended the Giant Bear Tribe, he would inevitably be targeted elsewhere.
It would be extremely challenging for Dean McKenzie to borrow a Level 6 Promotion Temple in the South Barbarians.
What about the Alliance side?
That¡¯s impossible!
The Promotion Temples of the Alliance are either in the hands of the Alliance or in the hands of the Fallen Professionals.
Either the Alliance or the Fallen Professionals organization would not be an easy party to deal with.
The prospect of Dean McKenzie borrowing a Promotion Temple from them would be a thousand times more challenging than the South Barbarians. Even if he borrowed it, Dean McKenzie might not dare to use it.
¡°Still, I¡¯d better try toplete the seven-turn in the South Barbarian region. After all,pared to the Alliance, the South Barbarian region is regarded as an Intermediate Danger Zone Map.
If I can¡¯t handle the Intermediate Danger Zone Map, then don¡¯t expect to go to the Advanced Dangerous Map.
First, I¡¯ll try to level up.
I¡¯ll study the situation in detail then.
Putting it inly, I may not need to use the Promotion Temple; I can also use the Promotion Task Scroll!¡±
Under uncertain circumstances, Dean McKenzie did not want to confront the Giant Bear Tribe directly.
If it bes essential to sh heads with the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean McKenzie would be willing to face it.
¡°It¡¯s a pity. During my time in the Giant Bear Tribe, my ¡®Land of Bone¡¯ was only Intermediate 2-star¡¯ and was unable to transfer the ¡®Intermediate 3-star¡¯ buildings from outside. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have had this headache now. Nevermind, don¡¯t think about it too much.¡±
After that, Dean McKenzie nned his next actions.
¡°1, First, level up, the six-turn at 120 levels is a hard baseline.
2, Since the channels in the Giant Serpent Tribe have been cut off, if I want to get resource information, I have to rely on the citizens of the Land of Bone. Therefore, the City of Bone needs to be improved as quickly as possible. This may well be a critical channel for me to acquire resources next.
3, Talent Level improvement is also essential.
At present, all my skills, except for Corpse Explosion, seem unable to break through the barriers of intermediate and advanced stages.
Although I¡¯m confident that once I reach seven-turn, I can definitely crush my peers as if ughtering dogs, I haven¡¯t made the seven-turn, so I should try to improve my Talent Level as much as possible andplete Skill Sublimation as far as possible.¡±
4, On the side of the Giant Bull Tribe.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, even more so when I
was originally a friend with the people from the Giant Bull Tribe.¡±
Next, if possible, I want to help Carl break through to Seven-turn.
Given his character, as long as I assist him to reach seven-turn, when facing the Giant Bear Tribeter on, he will undoubtedly lend a hand!¡±
After making these four conclusions, Dean McKenzie prioritized them.
The City of Bone needs time, and the talent upgrade needs materials, both of which can¡¯t be rushed.
So the first thing to do is definitely to help Carl with his seven-turn promotion. Firstly, Carl is in his Land of Bone now, and Carl mentioned before that he should be able toplete his seven-turn promotion soon, he should be quite confident, right?
Secondly, if Carl canplete the seven-turn promotion, Dean will feel more confident when dealing with the Giant Bear Tribe.
The Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s attention will also be more on the Giant Bull Tribe.
Would this put the Giant Bull Tribe in a disadvantageous position?
Dean doesn¡¯t even need to set the trap, the Giant Bear Tribe has been targeting the Giant Bull Tribe for a while now.
Therefore, Dean returned to the Land of Bones again and went directly to find the members of the Giant Bull Tribe led by Carl.
Because many parts of the Land of Bones couldn¡¯t be opened, Dean arranged for Carl and his tribe to stay in the Bone Prison.
Of course, the prison function was not activated, and he also prepared good food and wine for them.
When Dean entered, about ten people from the Giant Bull Tribe were already drunk and contented.
Dean thought about it from their perspective; if it were him entering an unfamiliar environment, especially one like a prison, he wouldn¡¯t be able to drink like them.
Theirck of caution made Dean puzzled about the behavior of the Giant Bear Tribe.
Is it really necessary to suppress a tribe like the Giant Bull Tribe?
If you maintain a slightly better rtionship with them, you can easily use them as cannon fodder.
Dean shook his head and walked over to wake Carl up, ¡°Get up, stop sleeping!¡±
¡°Is it time to eat?¡±
Carl woke up in a daze, and the first thing he said was about eating.
Dean shook his head again. A tribe leader like this would bring doom to his tribe sooner orter.
¡°No food, do you want grass?¡±
Hearing this taboo sentence, Carl sobered up instantly. The people of the Giant
Bull Tribe were particrly resentful of being regarded as bulls.
¡°You are the one who eats grass, your whole family eats¡ Oh, sir! You¡¯re finally free!¡±
Carl was ready to argue, but when he saw that it was Dean in front of him, he immediately beamed with joy.
¡°Want a drink?¡±
¡°No, how about that seven-turn promotion you were talking about?¡±
Dean had interacted with this Carl for several days and knew that he had to get straight to the point with this guy, or else he would confuse him.
¡°The seven-turn promotion? Oh, you¡¯re talking about the seven-turn promotion?
I m already level 140, as long as I have a Seventh-turn Task Scroll, I can promote to the next level!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
Dean subconsciously raised an eyebrow and his voice rose by an octave.
Although he knew from the beginning that Carl was not reliable, he didn¡¯t expect him to be this unreliable.
And yet Carl didn¡¯t realize there was anything wrong with what he said, ¡°I¡¯m already at level 140, and as long as I have a Seventh-turn Task Scroll andplete the tasks, I can promote to the next level. I came here this time to buy a Seventh-turn Task Scroll!¡±
Dean felt helpless.
He didn¡¯t know how Carl could say this so matter-of-factly.
Not to mention the rarity of the Seventh-turn Task Scroll, even if he got one,
the task would be randomly assigned.
Who knows what kind of task could pop up.
How could Carl confidently assert that he¡¯d be able toplete the seven-turn promotion?
As Dean was stunned, Carl, scratching his head, said, ¡°All the tribes of the South Barbarian are cursed. Each time a seven-turn promotion quest is activated, the mission will definitely be a monster siege! We are all prepared.
Just pass any task scroll, start the promotion quest, and withstand the monster siege!¡±
Saying that, Carl even opened his attribute panel and shared one of the attributes with Dean.
Ancient Curse: Due to possessing a special bloodline, they are cursed by the ancients. Whenever the strongest member of any tribe starts a seven-turn task, it must be changed to a monster siege.
PS: Once the Extermination Task Scroll is used, the difficulty level of the monster siege will be raised by at least one level!
Seeing this feature, Dean was stunned. There¡¯s actually such a curse. Understanding this attribute, Dean could also understand why Yorick Meyer would give the Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll to Carl..

¡°Here, take this!¡±
in the Land of Bone, within the Bone Prison, Dean McKenzie casually tossed a [Seventh-turn Task Scroll] to Carl.
They got this item from the Giant Bear Tribe.
After all, they practically cleaned one of their treasure vaults out.
However, Dean McKenzie had serious doubts. It was likely only one of the many vaults of the Giant Bear Tribe and probably one of the ones with lesser value.
But still, there were some valuable items in there like a Seventh-turn Task
Scroll.
There was only one Extermination Task Scroll though.
Dean McKenzie needed the Extermination Task Scroll for himself, but he could give Carl a general Seventh-turn Task Scroll at any time.
Yet, the moment Carl saw the [Seventh-turn Task Scroll], his mind went into a spin.
¡°No way, no way, our tribe has no money left!¡¯
¡°I don¡¯t want your money!¡±
¡±We don¡¯t even have enough coffins left!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want your coffins either, it¡¯s a gift!¡±
Carl shook his head, saying he wouldn¡¯t ept it even if he died: ¡°No way, free gifts are the most costly!¡±
¡°What? Who told you that?¡±
¡°You did! When you sold me those gauntlets, that¡¯s what you said!
¡°Damn!¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at the obstinate Carl who insisted he wouldn¡¯t ept the gift without giving anything in return, and he almost choked from holding back a curse.
How stubborn can this bull be!
He insists on paying, and he won¡¯t ept just anything, he insists on giving something of equal value!
¡°Then give me your tribe¡¯s Portable Mysterious Realm in return!¡±
¡°That won¡¯t work either, the Portable Territory can¡¯t be sold, it would dishonor
our ancestors!¡±
¡°Then what else does your Giant Bull Tribe have to offer?
Just when Dean McKenzie was widening his eyes, Carl suddenly came up with a creative suggestion: ¡°How about¡ how about I sell myself to you!¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°Look at me, if I sell myself to you, I be your subordinate, right?
So wouldn¡¯t it be fair and reasonable for you to help me with my Seventh-turn
Task?¡±
Dean McKenzie was stunned by Carl¡¯s innovative suggestion.
He stared at Carl as if he were seeing him for the first time.
Who knew a simple man coulde up with such a suggestion?
Isn¡¯t this just a tant freeloader move?
¡®¡öSo all along you not only wanted this item, but you also wanted me to help youplete the Seventh-turn?
Are you trying to get a free ride from me?
You craftyd, I thought you were a simpleton, but you see me as a fool, don¡¯t you?¡±
In response to Dean McKenzie¡¯s questioning, Carl scratched his head and said,
¡°My gut tells me that following you is the path to a good life!¡±
¡°You trust your gut?¡±
¡°Absolutely, our tribe always follows its instincts!¡±
Carl exined that their tribal leaders conduct affairs with a blend of guessing and gambling.
Guessing for smaller decisions often led to mistakes, while big decisions made through gambling were never wrong!
So, Carl trusted his instincts wholeheartedly. If his instincts said to stick to Dean McKenzie, he would stick to him, if they said he should hang out with Dean, he was resolved to do so.
Dean McKenzie looked at Carl.
Confirming that he seemed serious, Dean said, unwilling to argue further, ¡°Alright, fine. Do as you please. Here, take this!¡±
Dean McKenzie tossed the [Seventh-turn Task Scroll] again, this time Carl caught it.
¡°Boss, when do we start?¡±
He was eager and it showed.
¡°Or why don¡¯t we get to it right now?¡± He said, rather impatiently.
Dean McKenzie red at him.
¡°What¡¯s the rush? What is your tribe¡¯s current strength? Are you sure they can withstand a wave of monsters attacking? Moreover, the Giant Bear Tribe has set their sights on you. The moment you start, they will know about it.
The difficulty of your Seventh-turn task is not yet known. If they also get involved, who knows what chance you¡¯ll have to pass the trial?¡±
¡°Then what do we do?¡±
Whether or not Carl was really following his instincts, Dean McKenzie was definitely following his.
[Wild Instinct] told Dean that following his instincts this time would do no harm, so he luckily decided to trust Carl and help himplete the Seventh-turn task.
The difficulty of Carl¡¯s Seventh-turn task was twofold.
One was the difficulty of the trial itself and the other came from the Giant Bear Tribe.
Dean McKenzie had no control over the difficulty of the trial itself!
After all, outsiders can¡¯t help with a Promotion Quest. Dean wasn¡¯t sure what the Promotion Quest for the South Barbarian was like as they were different from everyone else¡¯s, but he guessed that it wouldn¡¯t be easy for outsiders to help either.
So there were only two ways Dean could help Carl- one by strengthening the Giant Bull Tribe as much as possible, and by shielding them from the threat of the Giant Bear Tribe.
¡°Let¡¯s do this, I¡¯ll help your Giant Bull Tribe enhance its strength first!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes narrowed as he patted Carl¡¯s shoulder and chuckled.
Seeing Dean McKenzie¡¯sugh, Carl felt a bit anxious. Mainly because Dean McKenzie¡¯s smile was somewhat disturbing! ¡°As far as I know, not everyone in your tribe is a professional, right? Let me help your tribe membersplete their Promotion Quests!
In addition, I¡¯ll help you guys do a little advanced training!¡±
¡°Training? How?¡±
¡°You¡¯ll know very soon!¡±
Afterward, Dean McKenzie took action, using the Flight Skill to return to the Giant Bull Tribe.
As soon as he arrived at the Giant Bull Tribe, he had Carl gather all the ordinary people of the tribe together.
Dean McKenzie set up the [Gate of Bone], sent all the ordinary people of the Giant Bull Tribe to the Land of Bone and, using the Land of Bone¡¯s [Promotion Altar], made all the members of the Giant Bull Tribe professionals..
Chapter 302: Half a month, 184 2
Chapter 302: Half a month, 184 2
Trantor: 549690339
At the same time, they were also turned into citizens of his Land of Bone.
Also, the quality of the Giant Bull Tribe was pretty good. There were about twelve thousand members in total, with only four to five thousand being ordinary people.
Among these four to five thousand people, there were one to two thousand children. The remaining two to three thousand people had allpleted their ss changes.
Those with quality of superior grade or above were quite average. There were 120 of rare quality, and 30 of perfect quality.
It was slightly unfortunate that there was no one of extraordinary quality.
However, there were as many as three thousand more ss-changed individuals in the tribe, and that was wonderful news.
On Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, there were more than three thousand additional citizens of the Land of Bone.
However, Dean had set these citizens to be invisible citizens.
That is, they needed to provide resources for the Land of Bone, but they did not know the existence of the Land of Bone, nor did they know that they had be citizens of the Land of Bone.
Afterpleting this series of operations, Dean immediately started the next step.
On one hand, he sent out the team of skeleton assassins led by Old Eight to clean up all the undercover agents around the Land of Bone, in order to ensure the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s jungle scouts would not spy on the Giant Bull Tribe.
At the same time, he opened the Gate of Bone and activated ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯!
The intermediate 2-star ¡®Land of Bone¡¯ could amodate three thousand fifth-turn skeletons, but only about five hundred six-turn skeletons could be housed.
However, Dean¡¯s ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ skill was now at level 12.
The maximum level limit of the summoning skeleton skill had increased from level 123 to level 125.
The time each skeleton could exist was also lengthened to 24 hours.
Each summoning required 12000 mana. With the level 8 ¡®Meditation¡¯ skill fully open, Dean McKenzie could recover 61664 mana per minute.
In one day, he could summon about 12000 six-turn skeletons.
But Dean didn¡¯t bother with the excess.
Just spending all of his 33 million mana points, he summoned 2750 six-turn skeletons.
Then Dean let Doggy Two lead these nearly three thousand six-turn skeletons to attack the Giant Bull Tribe.
These three thousand skeletons had basically one attribute:
Name: Incredible Skeleton Warrior
Temte: Ordinary
Level: 125
Trait: Intermediate
Enhanced Attribute of Skeleton Commanded:
Strength: 18000, Agility: 9450, Physique: 9450
Attack: 67000
Defense: 41350
Spirit Power: 750000
Skills: Heavy Strike (Level 12), Charge (Level 12)
Though they were only ordinary temtes, when the level and strength were increased, theirbat power soared to a certain level.
However, even though his Wraith Army was formidable, Dean felt that since Carl was confident of passing the seven-turn task, the strength of the Giant Bull Tribe should be equally extraordinary. It shouldn¡¯t be held back by this Wraith Army, right?
And then Dean saw the scene of the Giant Bull Tribe being pushed back.
In the face of the raging Wraith Army, although the Giant Bull Tribe was well prepared beforehand, they couldn¡¯t stand up against it when the real battle began.
They were broken through by Doggy Two in just a few blows.
If it weren¡¯t for Dean¡¯smand to stop, the Giant Bull Tribe would probably have been beaten badly.
After analyzing the main reasons for this situation, Dean found several key factors.
One was that he had underestimated his strength.
The attributes above were the basic attributes aftermanding the skeletons, but in actualbat, with Doggy Two leading, the attributes of the skeleton under hismand would increase by a hundred percent.
Thebat power soared.
And they attacked as a group of three thousand, or even six thousand skeletons, so the impact was immense.
Another factor was that, although the strength of Carl¡¯s side might not be weak, they had absolutely no experience in dealing with this scale of battle.
Moreover, the Giant Bull Tribe was basically full of brutes. In the heat of battle, even Carl was too preupied to lead, let alone strategize.
Thest point is that the Giant Bull Tribe had virtually no defense system.
At best, they had a perimeter wall, but it was utterly useless against level six enemies.
Although they were defending their home turf, when the Wraith Army barged in, the Giant Bull Tribe found themselves helpless.
Given these factors, it was already much if the Giant Bull Tribe could unleash a fraction of their power.
Based on this situation, Dean McKenzie made adjustments.
The number of level six Skeletons was reduced to around 500. Then, utilizing the Land of Bone, Dean spawned arge quantity of level three and four skeletons to construct the second wave of attack.
On the Giant Bull Tribe¡¯s side, Dean tried to let Carl tomand the battle.
But Carl quickly demonstrated with his actions that it was impossible,pletely impossible!
Being a simple brute, he was incapable of leadership. His only battle tactic was to charge at the enemy.
Wherever the Skeleton Army went, Carl would lead The Giant Bull Tribe members straight into battle.
Though reckless, Carl¡¯s battle method unexpectedly suited their tribe. Riding on this momentum, the Giant Bull Tribe¡¯s performance in the second wave was much better than the first.
Considering the diminished strength of Doggy Two¡¯s Wraith army, the Giant Bull Tribe was surprisingly gaining the upper hand.
By the end of the battle, Doggy Two was left without a single skeleton.
Carl was ecstatic!
He confidently told Dean again and again that he was fully prepared for the seven-turn, and he didn¡¯t feel the need for these small adjustments.
Looking at Carl¡¯s smug face, Dean rubbed his nose and Instructed Doggy Two to go full power.
Then, Doggy Two unleashed his full potential.
After sacrificing the Wraith army, his attributes increased by five hundred percent. Then he cast Bone Eruption, which was enhanced to level nine.
The total attributes were boosted by nine hundred percent, and the attack increased by sixty million.
Just Doggy Two alone wreaked havoc on the entire Giant Bull Tribe.
Not to mention, next Dean deployed all of his remaining two thousand skeletons, Old Four, Old Nine, Old Seven, Old Eight, and the whole Skeleton Giant Legion.
As Dean sent all his troops out, the Giant Bull Tribe waspletely overrun.
The entirety of the tribe was subjected to an all-out attack.
Even the Extraordinary traits received from the Giant Bull Totem couldn¡¯t change the oue.
After the disastrous defeat, the Giant Bull tribe quieted down and finally acknowledged Dean¡¯s superiority.
Over the following period, Dean repeatedly made the Skeleton Legion attack the Giant Bull Tribe.
The repeated practice not only improved the power of the Giant Bull Tribe but also helped Dean quickly familiarize himself with his upgraded skills since bing a level five.
After half a month, Dean had a clear understanding of his strength.
Simply put, he believed himself to be invincible against anything less than a level seven.
Dean estimated he could, maybe, potentially, somewhat fight a level seven enemy.
The oue of such battle would depend on his performance.
After a month, the Giant Bull Tribe showed dramatic progress under Dean¡¯s guidance.
Although limited by theck of a level six Promotion Temple, there were only less than too members of the Giant Bull Tribe at level six.
Each of them significantly improved in strength.
The lower-level members managed to gain a level or two during this period.
The expenditure just left the Giant Bull Tribe¡¯s entire resources depleted.
Furthermore, in the span of half a month, Old Six was able to organize a defense system for the Giant Bull Tribe.
Although the Giant Bull Tribe made decent progress, Dean felt even less confident that they could pass the trial.
The bitter fact was, Dean managed to easily defeat the Giant Bull Tribe a month ago, and even now, he still felt he could easily defeat them, perhaps more easily than before.
Considering their strength, Dean doubted very much about their odds of passing the seven-turn trial.
¡°Perhaps, I need a change of perspective.
Not me restraining the Giant Bear Tribe and allowing Carl toplete the seven-turn ceremony. Instead, let the Giant Bull Tribe distract the Giant Bear Tribe while I find a chance to break through to level six.¡±
Dean felt that thetter probably held a greater chance of sess.
So, after half a month of hard work, Dean took back the Seventh-turn Task Scroll from Carl.
Instead, he started preparing for his promotion.
He was determined to level up to level 120 as fast as possible!
Chapter 303:185 Evil Dragon Graveyard, Doggy Twos
Chapter 303:185 Evil Dragon Graveyard, Doggy Two¡¯s
Extraordinary Opportunity
Trantor: 549690339
There are two types of maps in the South Barbarian region.
One is simr to Bull Mountain, which is a mapped and enclosed ce.
These maps have owners, and if Dean McKenzie wishes to hunt monsters, he either needs the owner¡¯s permission or needs to defeat the owner to get it.
However, sometimes just the owner¡¯s permission isn¡¯t enough.
Because refreshing a map takes time, Dean McKenzie needs to wait for it to reset before he can enter and hunt monsters.
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s current Fifth-turn strength, he deems the maps below Fifth-turn unworthy.
Hunting on these wouldn¡¯t be of any use.
Experience gained is low and drop rates are low. Even regarding the Fifth-turn maps, his level might not even elevate by 1 after a full sweep!
As for maps of level 6 or above, the reset period often takes months.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t wait that long.
After all, he¡¯s now at Fifth-turn, and reaching the Sixth-turn 120 Level will require more than just one or two Six-turn maps. At the very least, he would need over ten Six-turn maps.
It¡¯s practically improbable for Dean McKenzie to achieve the Sixth-turn through owned maps in a short period of time.
Even if that would be possible, Dean McKenzie would still do his best to prevent any rumors about using or iming maps from leaking out.
When ites to leveling up, Dean McKenzie needs to keep the Giant Bear Tribe in the dark as much as possible.
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Sixth-turn transfer will likely take ce within the Giant Bear Tribe, and he definitely should keep his leveling information hidden from them.
Moreover, if Dean McKenzie does not keep the information hidden well-enough,
When he justes out of some map and runs straight into the Seven-turn existence from the Giant Bear Tribe, it would indeed be a surprise, wouldn¡¯t it?
Therefore, Dean McKenzie hardly considers borrowing the owned maps.
Consequently, his attention was drawn to the other kind of map in the South Barbarian region, the Unowned Maps!
Just as there are map resources controlled by various powers, there are also resources that they can¡¯t control.
Most of these resources are concentrated deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Because within the Ten Thousand Mountains, apart from the map resources, there are also free-range monsters with wide activity ranges.
There are even some notorious monster groups.
Thus, it¡¯s challenging for the powers in the South Barbarian region to mark the Ten Thousand Mountains
The Ten Thousand Mountains have also be a hope for the smaller power-holders and professional workers in the South Barbarian region whock sufficient map resources.
It¡¯s said that there are quite a few fortunate encounters deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Every year there are professionals who walk out of the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains with stories of such encounters and be powerful entities in their own right.
Carl and Carney also share such experiences.
Both of them have ventured into the Ten Thousand Mountains and encountered a few minor adventures.
Thus, this ce has also be the prospect for Dean McKenzie to quickly level up to Level 120.
Before entering the Ten Thousand Mountains, Dean McKenzie asked Carl, Carney, and others who had ventured into the mountains about the conditions inside.
However, after analyzing the information, he realized it was not what he was looking for.
Most of them had only entered the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
This part of the area did not have many Six-turn maps, and had quite a fewpetitors.
It seems to be a ce with many hunters yet few monsters and has been highly developed. To level up quickly, Dean McKenzie definitely needs to venture deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
As for the information about the interior of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Carl and Carney truly knew very little. What little information they had was of little reference value.
¡°So it seems that I¡¯ll have to venture into the Ten Thousand Mountains myself. Let¡¯s go and have a look!¡±
On the seventeenth day of arriving at the Giant Bull Tribe, the prepared Dean McKenzie set off for the Ten Thousand Mountains.
With the power of the Flight Skill, it didn¡¯t take Dean McKenzie much time to reach the Ten Thousand Mountains from the Giant Bull Tribe. He directlynded in the middle of the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
He didn¡¯t directly enter the heart of the mountains, nor did hend deep in the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, because ording to the information Dean McKenzie holds, there was a powerful aerial monster group right in the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Once he entered their territory, a big fight would inevitabilitymence.
Although Dean McKenzie came here this time to hunt monsters, he consciously avoided any encounter battles.
In Dean McKenzie¡¯s words, hees to hunt to level up, not to die.
In a ce like the Ten Thousand Mountains where Seven-turn beings could easily roam, Dean McKenzie felt it was better to keep a low profile.
As soon as hended, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Meditation Sensing state activated and his spiritual power slowly spread.
With the expanding of his spiritual power, Dean Mckenzie felt a significant decline in his sensing range, despite having several hundreds of thousands of points of spiritual power which should have covered several hundreds of thousands of meters.
In reality, the range covered by Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power was only a little over 600 meters.
¡°It should be due to the environment and the skill.
The current Meditation skill only adds around 60,000 points, and the sensing limit is also capped at around 60,000. Coupled with the pressure from the Ten Thousand Mountains, the remaining sensing distance of 600 or so meters is normal!¡±
What reassured Dean Mckenzie was that within this 600-meter range, his sensing was very clear.
With this sensing range of a bit over 600 meters, Dean McKenzie could execute extremely long distance, urate kills using his Bone Fang.
Along the way, as long as he sensed a monster entering his sensing range, Dean McKenzie wouldunch a Bone Fang and take it down directly.
In this process, Doggy Two behaved like an obedient dog wagging its tail.
As soon as Dean McKenzie made a move, it would dash out quickly, bring back the corpse of the monster killed by Dean McKenzie, and the attribute points that dropped out, presenting them to Dean McKenzie like a treasure.
After giving Doggy Two a perfunctory praise, Dean McKenzie would perform an Extraction, throw the corpse into the Land of Bone, perform a Bone Rebirth, and then continue hunting and earning Attribute Points..

Chapter 304:185 Evil Dragon Graveyard, Doggy Two¡¯s Extraordinary Opportunity !
Trantor: 549690339
The journey was smooth sailing, breaking through any obstacles with ease.
Dean McKenzie quickly arrived at the deeper parts of the outskirts of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.
Walking further in, he would reach the central section of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.
Dean McKenzie then began to slow his pace and act more cautiously.
After all, it was rumored that there was a fair chance of encountering seven-turn beings in the central section, so Dean McKenzie, with his current strength, had to be cautious.
He needed to find a ce to settle down and send the assassin team, including Old Eight, into the central section for exploration.
[Your [Wraith Servants][Assassin N0.3] has died!]
¡°What happened?¡±
The twelve assassins had just entered not long ago when the system notification refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie was somewhat taken aback: ¡°Isn¡¯t the middle section of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range this dangerous?
How long has it been since they entered? They didn¡¯tst even three minutes. Did they encounter a seven-turn monster?¡±
It should be noted that the twelve assassins under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand were each of perfect quality. If perfect quality, six-turn assassins couldn¡¯tst three minutes, that was indeed frightening.
However, just as Dean McKenzie thought he would be dealing with a seven-turn being, the system prompts fell silent.
No more system notifications refreshed.
Then, half an hourter, the skeleton assassins under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand gradually returned, bringing back the information they had investigated.
And when Dean McKenzie sorted out the information they had found, Dean McKenzie unexpectedly discovered that there didn¡¯t seem to be any major danger there, it was just a level 6 group.
The group didn¡¯t exceed 300, with just the leader being of perfect quality.
This left Dean McKenzie puzzled, how did No.3 die?
Did they encounter the enemy¡¯s boss right away?
It couldn¡¯t be that they didn¡¯tst even three minutes, right?
Did that seemingly ordinary group have any terrifying existences? Unknown dangers?
With curiosity and caution, Dean McKenzie activated the extraordinary trait [Undying] through [Skeleton Domination], and resurrected N0.3.
Then, Dean McKenzie learned the truth about how N0.3 had died.
Next, Dean McKenzie becamepletely speechless.
ording to No.3¡¯s description, it stepped on a trap after entering, and was then swarmed and beaten to death by the monsters on the other side.
As for the so-called trap, Dean McKenzie originally thought it was a magical trap, but No.3 indicated, it was a very ordinary trap.
Because it was ordinary andcked technical content, No.3 couldn¡¯t sense the trap, and thus fell in and was obliterated!
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know what to say.
¡°Nevermind, at least it shows that the group over there should not be dangerous!¡±
Then, Dean McKenzie, with the [Guardian Shield] and [Bone Armor] activated, stepped foot into the middle section, stepping right into the monster group.
Upon entering, Dean McKenzie discovered that the monster group was a group of monkeys.
Adult monkeys had a base level of 127 and most of their qualities were excellent or rare, with only one Monkey King!
Dean McKenzie, along with Bone Fang, burst into this scale of group, taking them all down.
The time spent did not exceed half an hour.
After taking down this group of monsters, Dean McKenzie had leveled up 2 levels to Level 104, achieving a 70% increase in his current level of 102.
Moreover, because Dean McKenzie did all the fighting himself, the gains were not insignificant.
The group of two to three hundred monsters dropped over ten thousand gold coins, averaging dozens of gold coins per monster. Besides, there were some other things which Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t take a closer look at and threw them all into the Land of Bone.
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie repeated his operation.
He let Old Eight explore the path ahead, and only after the path had been explored did Dean McKenzie move to rid the area of monsters.
This process was sessful because it was safe, but it was somewhat inefficient.
Primarily because the pace of exploration was slow, since Dean McKenzie¡¯s standard for exploration was very high, he was only willing to take action if he could ensure a hundred percent safety.
Often, he needed to explore for several hours or even an entire day, and then burst forth to resolve the battles within a few dozens of minutes.
Sometimes, because he couldn¡¯t be a hundred percent sure of safety, Dean McKenzie would give up on the target.
This consequently further reduced Dean McKenzie¡¯s speed.
As a result, in the five days since Dean McKenzie entered the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, he had only wiped out 6 monster groups.
Level increased from 102 to 108.
Besides, the most incredible thing for Dean McKenzie during these five days was Assassin No. 3.
Dean McKenzie felt like he was raising a waste of space, and he had proof!
Out of 11 pathfinding attempts, No. 3 died 5 times!
The only reason it died only 5 times was because it only participated in 5 pathfinding attempts.
Every single pathfinding attempt basically guaranteed its death.
After dying, it would have to wait for the cooldown of the [Undying] Trait.
Dean McKenzie felt that it was his Trait¡¯s cooldown that limited No. 3¡¯s performance, or else Dean McKenzie estimated that it would¡¯ve perished at least 11 times in 11 scouting trips.
And every single death was bizarre in its own way.
Either it fell into a trap, or others hunting hit it by mistake when their skills went astray.
Or a wild monster was sleeping in a tree, and it died when the monster fell off and crushed it!
Dean McKenzie felt that No. 3¡¯s death experiences alone couldpletely make a book called [Creative Deaths ¨C Your Death Scene Exceeds Your Imagination], ¡°Is the number 3 too much for it to handle?
Shall we change its name?¡±
Dean McKenzie thought about it, felt that a bit of superstition sometimes wasn¡¯t a bad thing, so he changed No. 3 to No. 13 with a try-and-see, it¡¯s-free-anyway attitude!
With this change, on the sixth day, the sixth time Dean McKenzie sent it out to scout, he was immediately greeted with a pleasant surprise.
[Your [Wraith Servant] (Skeleton Assassin No. 13) has discovered a special map [Evil Dragon Graveyard]!]
At first, when this system prompt just came out, Dean McKenzie thought his renaming was useless.
But when this system promptpletely came out, Dean McKenzie was both shocked and overjoyed.
¡°Holy shit, changing the name really worked, it seems the ordinary skeleton really couldn¡¯t handle being number 3!¡±
Speaking of this, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but look a bit worried at his newly appointed Doggy Three.
¡°Should we change Doggy Three¡¯s name?¡±
Dean McKenzie immediately sought Doggy Three¡¯s opinion.
After all, Dean McKenzie respected the ¡®Doggy¡¯ series. He needs to discuss things like changing names with them first.
But when Dean McKenzie said he wanted to change Doggy Three¡¯s name because it couldn¡¯t handle being Doggy Three, Doggy Three cried!
The Skeleton Giant, over ten meters tall, wailed!
It was heartbroken as if it were a child weighing several tons.
Thinking that Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t like it, didn¡¯t want it anymore, and wanted to strip it off the glorious title of [Doggy Three],
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know what to say, and even less understood why being called [Doggy Three] was a matter of honor.
But since it didn¡¯t want to, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t insist.
No means no!
Anyway, it has the Undying Trait so it should be unkible.
Dean McKenzie eventually gave up on renaming Doggy Three.
Shortly after, Dean McKenziepleted the exploration of the special map [Evil Dragon Graveyard], confirmed that there was no danger in the vicinity, and based on the fact that No.3, no. that should be No.13, had no problems after staying in the Evil Dragon Graveyard for almost half an hour.
Moreover, [Wild Intuition] did not sound any rm.
So Dean McKenzie decided to formally start conquering the Evil Dragon Graveyard.
Following the trail of No. 13, Dean McKenzie quickly arrived at a barrennd.
At first, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t see anything suspicious in this barrennd and was about to ignore it, but then the [Wild Intuition] rm he had been waiting for sounded.
But this time the rm wasn¡¯t a warning to retreat.
It was from the Trait [ident Perception]!
Its activation not only allowed Dean McKenzie to lock down the location of the [Evil Dragon Graveyard], but also made him sense that this time the [Evil Dragon Graveyard] would be extremely beneficial to Dean McKenzie, no, it should be to Doggy Two.
¡°Looks like Doggy Two has a chance of achieving extraordinary rank this time!¡±
Feeling the information that emerged, Dean McKenzie¡¯s lips curled up in a smile, and then he took a step forward and his figure disappeared on the spot. [You have entered the [Evil Dragon Graveyard]!]

Trantor: 549690339
Ten thousand mountains, Evil Dragon Graveyard!
As Dean McKenzie stepped into it, a familiar sensation of weightlessness kicked in, making him feel dizzy.
After a while, Dean was finally able to steady himself.
The system notified him that he had entered the so-called Evil Dragon Graveyard.
However, the moment Dean opened his eyes, he felt as if he¡¯d gone blind. Complete darknessy before him, with no sign of anything visible. Luckily, even though his eyes couldn¡¯t see, his spiritual senses still worked. However, the range had shrunk from the previous 600 meters to about a tenth of that.
At the same time, the system alert refreshed.
[You have entered the Evil Dragon Graveyard and received a negative BUFF, Extreme Darkness, your senses have dwindled by ny percent!] ¡°What a damnable ce, inflicting such severe negative buffs!¡± This was the first time Dean encountered such a situation.
He could only navigate his surroundings through his spiritual senses. Utilizing his spiritual senses, Dean realized he appeared to be inside an underground structure.
He couldn¡¯t ascertain what kind of space or structure he was in.
The heavily suppressed spiritual senses couldn¡¯t provide many details.
All he could discern was that the surrounding environment wasn¡¯t favorable.
An evil aura permeated the area.
It made Dean ufortable, whereas Old Eight seemed to enjoy the surroundings, happily wandering around like a husky frolicking in a mud hole. Clearly, this environment was the perfect home turf for Old Eight.
However, what might be a home field for Old Eight, or rather Old Eight the skeleton, was not the same for Dean.
Therefore, confronted with such a situation, Dean promptly deployed his tried and trusted tactics.
¡°It¡¯s decided. It¡¯s your turn, get out!¡±
With one curtmand from Dean.
The Gate of Bone sprang open, and Doggy Two led a vast Skeleton Legion to pour forth.
Even Old Six, busy with the City of Bone, came barreling out like a dog picking up a scent.
The moment Old Six emerged, Dean noticed the surroundings brighten significantly.
Ah, it was the glimmer from Old Six¡¯s Pupil Fire.
¡°I get it, I get it, demolition time, right! I get it!¡±
The moment Old Six¡¯s light appeared, Dean didn¡¯t need him to say anything.
As a mature owner, Dean already knew how to satisfy Old Six¡¯s demands before he even voiced them.
¡°Doggy Two, tear down these structures for me!¡±
Having done this task countless times, Doggy Two found it straightforward! Under normal circumstances, it should¡¯ve been easy, a few big swings could have demolished the structure.
But this time was different.
Upon receiving Dean¡¯smand, Doggy Two immediately set to work, but after a full fifteen minutes, they saw no progress.
Initially, they couldn¡¯t locate the structures, nor find a wall¡¯s edge.
After struggling to find them, they didn¡¯t know how to start.
While Doggy Two and the others were feeling around, these structures seemed to be a seamless whole, absolutely impossible to dismantle.
Old Six studied them for a long time.
But due to vision deprivation and the reduction of senses, he couldn¡¯t find the right way to dismantle them.
In the end, he employed everyst violent method of demolition, but still saw no results.
Their attacks fell on the surrounding structures, causing no damage.
¡°Odd, what¡¯s up with this Evil Dragon Graveyard? Why can¡¯t we demolish anything?¡±
Seeing Doggy Two and the skeleton crew struggling in vain for so long, Dean¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.
The other skeletons were one thing, but Doggy Two had Extraordinary level Anti-Magic Attack capability. In theory, he should¡¯ve been able to destroy the defenses here.
¡°Unless, the power of the Evil Dragon Graveyard surpasses the Extraordinary level, or its Extraordinary level is higher than Doggy Two¡¯s!¡±
It should be thetter, Doggy TWo¡¯s power is at six-turn, with an Extraordinary level of only 1.
An Extraordinary level higher than Doggy Two¡¯s is quite normal!
It looks like the demolition task will have to be put on hold!
Let¡¯s send the skeletons out to explore and gather information!¡±
Saying this, Dean issued his troops of skeletons to explore the Evil Dragon Graveyard.
However, as the skeletons ventured further from him, Dean started getting feedback of skeletons dying.
The feedback was fast.
In less than five minutes, nearly a hundred of Dean¡¯s skeletons perished.
Dean immediately checked Dominating Skeleton to see if he could resurrect the dead skeletons.
The result made him furrow his brows.
Dominating Skeleton could revive the dead skeletons, but it would take three days.
This indicated that he was dealing with a power of Extraordinary quality, one
that surpassed the power of the Undying.
Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t take three days for resurrection; it would be impossible to resurrect them at all!
This information let Dean breathe a sigh of relief.
¡°As long as it isn¡¯t surpassing Extraordinary, that¡¯s good!¡±
If it wasn¡¯t surpassing the Extraordinary level, there was still hope for Dean to counter it.
However, Dean¡¯s current situation was still far from optimistic.
He felt certain that this oppressive darkness originated from the surrounding architecture.
If he didn¡¯t destroy these structures, he would continue to be in a passive, defensive position.
Moreover, as more and more of his skeletons were dying, Dean vaguely sensed
a powerful entity gradually awakening.
The surrounding evil aura was growing stronger.
Feeling the intensifying aura around him, Dean narrowed his eyes: ¡°Wild
Intuition hasn¡¯t given any danger feedback.. Since I trusted it enough to enter
I¡¯ll trust it to the end!¡±
Chapter 306:186 Mass Production of Extraordinary Evil Dragons _2
Chapter 306:186 Mass Production of Extraordinary Evil Dragons _2
Trantor: 549690339
Doesn¡¯t it want to gorge itself to resurrection?
I¡¯m going to give it the opportunity!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, his hand movements quickened, opening the Gate of Bone, unleashing a slew of Six-turn Skeletons as if they were free.
On one hand, he was sacrificing these skeletons to rejuvenate that unknown entity, steadily rising from the dead.
On the other hand, Dean McKenzie incessantly sensed the area through his Wild Intuition trait, standing at the entrance and exit of the Evil Dragon Graveyard.
Although he relied on his Wild Intuition, he retained his fundamental caution; he would immediately flee at the first sign of trouble.
So, as Dean McKenzie continued his sacrificial rites, the evil aura within the Evil Dragon Graveyard grew more potent.
Half an hourter.
¡°Roar!¡±
An ethereal dragon chant echoed.
Immediately following, Dean sensed a ck flood dragon drilling out from the surrounding structures, its abyss-like gaping mouth snapping towards Dean!
¡°Puff! Puff! Puff!¡±
Before the evil dragon could approach, several bone spears sent it flying.
It was riddled with holes, its aura instantly plummeting.
At the same time, the attributes of the creature popped up in front of Dean¡¯s eyes.
Name: Resurrected Evil Dragon Corpse (boss)
Quality: Extraordinary
Level: 121
Traits: Absorbs strength- Notpletely awakened yet
Evil Growth (buff) (In the current environment, it can grow by ughtering!)
Attributes:
Strength: 200,000, Agility: 50,000, Physique: 200,000,
Attack: 1000,000
Defense: 1000,000
Upon seeing these attributes, Dean¡¯s eyebrows furrowed instantly.
¡±I¡¯ve been sacrificing for so long, and this is the result?¡±
Meanwhile, Doggy Two transmitted a faint longing. ording to Doggy Two¡¯s feedback, if it devoured the dragon, there was a 30% chance of Doggy Two obtaining extraordinary traits.
¡°30%? That¡¯s not good enough!
Old Eight, put away your dagger. It cannot die yet!¡±
Dean sensed Old Eight reaching out to decapitate the dragon with a swift dagger strike. He immediately intervened!
Having restrained Old Eight and letting the evil dragon go, Dean continued to offer skeletons as sacrifices to the evil dragon.
After all, if there was one thing Dean didn¡¯tck, it was skeletons.
He was determined to feed this evil dragon until it waspletely satisfied, having Doggy Two consume the dragon afterward and guarantee a 100% chance of evolution!
He wasn¡¯t exactly feeding the evil dragon but rather fattening it up for Doggy Two!
While feeding it, he still had Old Eight to keep watch.
With Old Eight¡¯s surveince, Dean managed to keep track of the evil dragon¡¯s growth while feeding it.
One hourter, the evil dragon had reached level 125, its extraordinary traits had awakened to 30%, and its strength and physique had grown to 250,000.
Two hourster, the evil dragon had reached level 130, its extraordinary traits had awakened to 30%, and its strength and physique had grown to 300,000.
Three hourster¡
Four hourster¡
Five hourster¡
Dean kept nurturing this evil dragon non-stop for five whole hours.
After five hours, along with a deafening dragon chant, the evil dragon¡¯s level officially reached 140.5!
It was equivalent to the pseudo Seven-turn stage of the exceptionallyrge Carl from before!
In terms of attribute strength, there had been a tremendous change!
Name: Resurrected Evil Dragon Corpse (boss)
Quality: Extraordinary
Level: 140.5
Traits: Damage Transfer (Extraordinary) (In special environments, it can transfer the damage it receives to the Evil Dragon Graveyard. As long as the Evil Dragon Graveyard remains, it will not die!)
Attributes:
Strength: 2300,000, Agility: 650,000, Physique: 2300,000,
Attack: 46 million
Defense: 46 million
When this attribute was revealed, there was feedback from Doggy Two¡¯s end.
Or to be more precise, Doggy Two¡¯s side expressed a strong desire to consume this attribute, assuring that it would undoubtedly ascend to the Extraordinary level after consuming it.
While Doggy Two was eager to take the attribute, Dean McKenzie stopped it.
¡°Don¡¯t be too hasty. You are satisfied with just a single Evil Dragon?¡±
¡°That¡¯s too petty, way too petty!¡±
Dean McKenzie squinted his eyes at the direction of the Evil Dragon, ¡°Now that it no longer possesses the ¡®Evil Growth¡¯ trait, it means it couldn¡¯t get any stronger. So, this is essentially its peak strength.
However, skeletons are still dying, and the evil aura keeps on increasing.
Meaning then, more Evil Dragons are being bred.
Now that Evil Dragons could still be bred, we shouldn¡¯t just start feeding on them now.
After all, this is a rare opportunity. If we can create more dragons, we should create as many as we can.
Besides, Old Six¡¯s research is close to a breakthrough. When Old Six has figured out a way to destroy the Evil Dragon Graveyard, we can then act!
Dean McKenzie continued to sacrifice Little Skeletons while he spoke.
Five hourster, another Evil Dragon corpse was bred.
After two Evil Dragons were bred, they suddenly grew bolder and joined forces to attack Dean McKenzie.
However, Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t having any problem. The ¡®Guardian Shield¡¯ of Old Four had reached level 9. Just how powerful was it?
The fixed defense it provided was a whopping amount of 112 million.
Not to mention other enhancements.
The dragons hitting on it wouldn¡¯t be able to move it an inch.
Under this absolute safety, Dean McKenzie¡¯s side was increasing exponentially.
The speed of summoning skeletons was soaring, breeding a level 140.5 Evil Dragon every four or five hours.
Dean McKenzie was getting more excited the more they bred.
¡°Come on, let me witness the limit of this graveyard!¡±
As long as the level of the newly bred Evil Dragons hadn¡¯t reached Seven-turn, Dean McKenzie had no fear at all.
He nned to seize this opportunity toplete his level up, and also advance the temtes of his doggies.
If they could directly let all the core doggies, including Dean McKenzie himself, advance their temtes to Extraordinary, that¡¯d surely be the best.
It wouldn¡¯t be much.
Dean McKenzie did a quick calction, it would take only 12 Evil Dragons to advance his four attributes to Extraordinary, and each of Old Six, Old Nine, Old Seven, Old Eight and Old Three would need 3.
They would need only 28 dragons in total.
One dragon every five hours, so 28 dragons would take only 140 hours, less than six days, which was fast.
At least, that¡¯s how Dean McKenzie calcted it.
But very soon, Dean McKenzie¡¯s calctions came to a screeching halt.
Only 45 hourster, Dean McKenzie had to stop.
Because after Dean McKenzie finished breeding the ninth Evil Dragon, he was preparing to continue breeding, but he received a warning from his Wild Intuition.
This warning was extremely strong.
Although it¡¯s not as strong as the previous warning on the Golden in, it¡¯s definitely fatal.
It made Dean McKenzie understand very clearly, if he continues to breed, the next one will definitely be a Seven-turn level Evil Dragon.
Dean McKenzie had to stop.
¡°Nine dragons? Fine, let¡¯s stop at nine dragons then!
Let¡¯s do this!¡±
After giving up on breeding, Dean McKenzie began to ughter the dragons.
But if Dean McKenzie wanted to start ughtering, the first thing he needed to do was to break the connection between the ¡°Evil Dragon Graveyard¡± and the ¡°Evil Dragon Corpses¡±.
Here, Old Six, who had been researching for six hours, came up with a n for Dean McKenzie.
ording to Old Six¡¯s research, there was a certain point in the Evil Dragon Graveyard that could be broken.
Once that point was broken, the connection between the ¡°Evil Dragon Corpses¡± and the ¡°Evil Dragon Graveyard¡± could be severed.
While Old Six pointed out a method, he didn¡¯t give the exact location of that point.
There was no way around it. Given the environment of the Evil Dragon Graveyard, it was impossible for Old Six to thoroughly study the entire graveyard. He could only broadly deduce a position.
¡°Only one position is avable?
Okay, as long as there is one, let¡¯s get to work!¡±
After obtaining the approximate position from Old Six, Dean McKenzie mobilized his forces and advanced to the position deduced by Old Six.
As soon as Dean McKenzie began to move, the nine evil dragons burst out from the surrounding buildings and began coiling around Dean McKenzie.
The nine Evil Dragons were like nine ck chains, binding Dean McKenzie tightly¡.

[You have been hit with the skill [Nine Dragons Imprisonment]!] [[Nine Dragons Imprisonment] is abined skill executed by nine evil dragon corpses of level 140.5, imprisoning the target. Its power is equal to the total strength and attack power of the nine evil dragon corpses multiplied by
2!]
This attack cannot be broken free from by any power below the level of Extraordinary!]
Almost the moment Dean McKenzie was locked up, the system prompt refreshed in front of his eyes.
The moment he saw the system prompt, Dean calcted the power of imprisonment of this skill.
The strength of each evil dragon is 230, attack 4300 times nine, and then multiplied by 18, that gives 782.46 million, in other words, 7.82 billion!
Moreover, forces below the level of Extraordinary cannot shake it.
A quick calction yielded this result, prompting Dean to give up struggling. He knew that relying solely on his own strength, he could not break this so-called[Nine Dragons Imprisonment] at all!
Moreover, he didn¡¯t need to break free!
After all, Dean McKenzie was never fighting alone.
¡°If it¡¯s just imprisoning me, then the problem should not¡ oh crap!
Dean had not finished speaking when the evil dragons binding him began to extend slowly outward.
And because they were bound to Dean, their extending bodies were contracting at the locations where they had Dean locked in.
The system prompt refreshed again.
[The evil dragon corpse uses the skill[Nine Dragons Strangtion]on you!] [Under the[Nine Dragons Strangtionjskill, you will suffer the total strength and attack power of the nine evil dragons multiplied by 2. This power cannot be defended against by any power below the level of Extraordinary!] [You have been attacked, the[Guardian Shield]buff on you is in effect!] [The[Damage Reduction] trait of the [Guardian Shield] is affected by extraordinary power, reducing its effect to 65%!]
[You have reduced damage by 565.11 million!]
[Due to the extraordinary power, the damage reduction of Guardian Shield has decreased to 10%, and you have reduced damage by 3042.9!]
The system prompts start insanely refreshing in Dean¡¯s vision.
Instantly, the force of 7.8 billion meant to impact Dean was reduced by over five or six billion, and what remained fell upon the Guardian Shield, yet it was still horrifying!
Fortunately, Old Four¡¯s[Guardian Shieldjhad added a solid defense of over a hundred million, and coupled with the[Defense Enhancejtrait, over 500 million solid defense was directly raised to over 600 million, allowing Dean to hold his ground amidst the strangtion of the nine evil dragons.
But, the[Defense Enhance]does have an expiration time, only thirty minutes. If Dean cannot deal with the nine evil dragons within thirty minutes, once the[Defense Enhance]expires, the Guardian Shield also won¡¯t be able to withstand the strangtion.
Currently, Dean was imprisoned and could not react at all. The only ones he could rely on were his skeleton subordinates.
Among all the skeletons under Dean¡¯smand, Old Two and Old Eight reacted the quickest.
Old Two activated[Bone Eruption]first!
Thanks to Dean¡¯s constant sacrifice, Doggy Two¡¯s[Bone Kingjhad already reached its peak, with all attributes improved by 500%!
Adding to that was Dean¡¯s[Dominating Skeleton]single attribute limit of 1.3 million, before Doggy Two used Bone Eruption, his attributes had already reached:
Strength: 4 million, Agility: 2.025 million, Physique: 1.35 million
Spirit: 1.35 million
Attack: 35-55 million
Defense: 8.075 million
Spirit Power: 25 million
These basic attributes were already more frightening than those of the evil dragon corpse,
With the level nine Bone Eruption activated, Doggy Two¡¯s attributes were off the charts!
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) activates[Bone Eruption](Twice Enhanced)(Level 9), attribute increase by 900%, attack increased by 60.09 million!]
Strength 136 million,Agility:16.2 million,Physique:i2 million
Spirit:12 million
Attack:345-09 million
Defense:65.025 million
Spirit Power:20 million
While these are just the attributes reflected in the data, the real-world impact of Doggy Two¡¯s eruption is even more shocking.
As soon as his Bone Eruption activated, Doggy Two was immediately surrounded by ck mes, with the surroundings, which were initially pitch-ck, starting to tremble.
It seemed like even the darkness feared Doggy Two¡¯s savage power.
Uponpleting the Bone Eruption, Doggy Two went straight for a Mad Destruction, the Dragon Bone Sword in his hand heavily shing onto the forehead of the evil dragon.
¡°Boom!¡±
The entire Evil Dragon Graveyard trembled under Doggy Two¡¯s attack.
The eyes of the nine evil dragon corpses all expressed horror.
This kind of attack was undoubtedly at the level of Seven-turn, and Doggy Two could easily kill a Seven-turn if there were no advanced traits present.
But this kind of an attack didn¡¯t cause any damage to the evil dragon.
Seeing this situation, Dean was not surprised.
Because the trait of these evil dragons was solely[Damage Transfer], without destroying the Evil Dragon Graveyard, Doggy Two¡¯s attacks could not kill them. Although Doggy Two had[Destruction]and[Anti-Magic Attackjtwo Extraordinary traits!
But on the enemy¡¯s turf, both of Doggy Two¡¯s traits were at level one, so they couldn¡¯t overpower the opposition.
While Doggy Two¡¯s attack proved ineffective, Old Eight¡¯s[Forced Decapitation] also failed.
Dean knew that the key to victory should still lie in the location deduced by Old
Six.
So, Dean¡¯s eyes fell on Old Eight.
¡°Old Eight!
Now it¡¯s all up to you!
You are the hope of our entire family!¡±
Yes, Dean knew how to motivate Old Eight¡¯s spirit.
With just one sentence, Old Eight was immediately filled with energy. His Pupil Fire red up brightly as he turned to sprint towards the location deduced by Old Six..
Chapter 308:187 Clearance_2
Chapter 308:187 Clearance_2
Trantor: 549690339 |
Walking away like that, Doggy Two even managed to throw him a defiant look before he left.
This made Doggy Two erupt with fury!
Who said Old Eight was the family¡¯s hope?
It was one thing Doggy Two absolutely refused to acknowledge!
This time, Old Two directly used the Explosive Bone Power!
With Explosive Bone Power activated, Doggy Two was able to multiply his damage by tenfold for the next attack.
He unleashed another Mad Destruction attack!
This time, Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Sword emitted a ferocious and unparalleled sword aura, which spread instantly.
Next second, Dean McKenzie watched speechless as the sword aura pierced through the brains of nine Evil Dragons!
Then, a system notification shed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) activated its Extraordinary Traits: Destruction and Anti-Magic Power!]
[You sessfully killed nine Evil Dragon Corpses (bosses). Your level has increased to 120!]
[You received two extra chances for an attribute boost. You currently have eight extra chances!]
As the system notifications popped up, the nine Evil Dragons exploded.
At the same time, the entire Evil Dragon Graveyard began to tremble.
Cracks started to form on the now trembling dark Evil Dragon Graveyard, and light also began to peek through these cracks.
This left Old Eight, who was all eager to be the hope of the family, stunned in ce; it also left Dean McKenzie dumbfounded at the scene.
Nevertheless, this result was not that bad for Dean McKenzie.
Although it was somewhat different from what he had anticipated, and it was not the tactical oue he had hoped for, tactics were merely a means to make up for ack of firepower.
When you¡¯re poor, employ clever tactics; when you¡¯re rich, use overwhelming firepower!
If violence can directly solve the problem, it¡¯s definitely better and more straightforward than any kind of tactics.
As for Old Eight bing dejected halfway because he was too eager, Dean McKenzie simply shrugged it off as not a big deal. After wallowing in disappointment a bit, he¡¯d get used to it!
Besides, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to that now.
Didn¡¯t he see those nine Extraordinary corpses?
Didn¡¯t he see those high-quality luminous spots scattered all around?
Dean McKenzie was rubbing his hands together in anticipation, preparing to collect his spoils of war and deciding how to use the nine corpses.
¡°Old Two only needs one, which is a great material saver, and I only need one for now.¡±
With the Extraordinary Temte fragment I already have, we can still make
two out of the remaining six corpses.¡±
But who should get the two?¡±
Dean McKenzie was torn between Old Eight, the hardworking Assassin, Old Four, the silent Little Skeleton who had been protecting him from behind, and Old Nine, who had the potential to be the main damage dealer.
However, before he could make up his mind, the Bone Throne suddenly appeared beside Doggy Two.
¡°Buzz!¡±
The Bone Throne that had just emerged buzzed and vibrated.
Then, Doggy Two, who had just finished his attack, turned into a beam of light holding the Dragon Bone Sword and entered the Bone Throne.
Next, the Bone Throne instantly teleported over to the Evil Dragon corpses.
Pale light cascaded down from the Bone Throne, illuminating one of the Evil Dragon corpses.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t surprised by this.
After all, Doggy Two and the Bone Throne were inherently one entity that evolved together, and it was normal for the Bone Throne to absorb the Evil Dragon corpses.
However, when the Bone Throne absorbed one Evil Dragon corpse and moved on to the next, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow.
¡°Are they taking a second one? Well, Doggy Two just mentioned its evolution This blow might even cause the Bone Throne to evolve, so taking an extra one is normal!
Still going on?
Do they need three?
Alright, alright, all the other skeletons also needed three to advance to be Extraordinary, fine!
They¡¯re not gonna stop, are they?¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s face turned grim as he watched the Bone Throne repeatedly emit pale light and absorb the Evil Dragon corpses one after the other.
In no time, all nine Evil Dragon corpses were absorbedpletely.
Looking at the empty spot where the nine corpses had been, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face darkened.
¡°Great, just great, what originally could have been enough materials to evolve four beings can now only be enough for one evolution!¡±
Although his mood was dark, Dean McKenzie could still ept the fact that all nine corpses had been devoured by Doggy Two.
After all, Doggy Two was currently his strongest force.
He could ept him consuming the most resources.
However, after devouring the corpses, the Bone Throne was engulfed in a pale light, and there was an extremely long progress bar above it.
Looking at that progress bar, Dean¡¯s dark face got even darker.
¡® Please don¡¯t tell me that Doggy Two won¡¯tplete his evolution until this progress bar ispletely filled, right?¡±
The progress bar was way too long, and it was progressing very slowly. Who knows when it would bepleted.
Dean McKenzie was already at level 120 and was looking to advance through the six-turn soon. He couldn¡¯t wait for Old Two on purpose, could he?
No one knew how long they¡¯d have to wait for Old Two.
And if they didn¡¯t wait for Old Two, Dean McKenzie was going tock an importantbat power for his six-turn.
Whether it was the trial for the six-turn or securing the Promotion Temple from the Giant Bear Tribeter, his chances would be slightly reduced.
Sigh, this is a bit troublesome!¡±
But there was no other way, Old Two had already started evolving, so Dean
McKenzie couldn¡¯t just put a stop to it, could he?
¡°Well, all we can do for now is to take one step at a time.. Let¡¯s collect the loot first!¡±
Chapter 309:187 Clearances
Chapter 309:187 Clearances
Trantor: 549690339
Next, Dean McKenzie decided to set aside the sixth-turn matter for the moment and first sorted out the loot from the battle.
In this battle, apart from the nine Evil Dragon corpses, the most important spoils were undoubtedly the points they burst out and the Evil Dragon Graveyard.
With Doggy Two¡¯s killing strike, the Evil Dragon Graveyard cracked apart. After the light came in, the cleanup process was made much simpler.
Although Doggy Two was in an evolved state, Old Nine was still able tomand the cleanup.
Unlike Old Eight and Old Seven, the two unruly skeletons, Old Nine was arguably Doggy Two¡¯s most loyal subordinate.
Usually, he functioned as Doggy Two¡¯s right-hand man and assisted Doggy Two. He had also learned somemand skills from the skeletons. Without Doggy Two¡¯smand, Old Nine performed quite well on his own.
In less than four hours, they hadpletely cleared the Evil Dragon Graveyard.
As the Evil Dragon Graveyard was dismantled, a ck treasure chest fell in front of Dean.
¡°Huh, a treasure chest?¡±
Dean was both surprised and ecstatic; he quickly collected the treasure chest and all 27 light points.
[You have opened 27 light points and gained 27,000 purple gold coins!]
[You have received a skill book: [Evil Dragon Break], [Evil Dragon Roar], [Evil Dragon True Eye]]
[You have received equipment: [Evil Dragon Fang], [Evil Dragon Tusk Arrow]]
[You have received a potion: Evil Dragon Corpse Poison]
[You have opened one Evil Dragon Graveyard Treasure Chest, you have received an item [Profession Temte Trial Upgrade Order] and the blueprint [Evil Dragon Graveyard]]
After opening everything all at once, Dean¡¯s gaze first fell on the several skill books.
[Evil Dragon Break] (6th-level Warrior Skill, Warrior adds Dragon n¡¯s power science)
[Evil Dragon Roar] (6th-level Beast Skill, Evil Dragon breath Dragon n lineage can learn)
[Evil Dragon True Eye] (6th-level Appraisal Skill, Evil Dragon Breath)
¡°What¡¯s all this mess?¡±
Dean skimmed them and then tried Doggy Two. To his surprise, Doggy Two could still use these skills while evolving. Thus, he tossed all of them to Doggy Two altogether.
After all, only Doggy Two and he could learn from these.
Dean had no intention of wasting the Grant Quotas on such messy skills. Therefore, he decided to give all of it to Doggy Two.
After distributing the skills, Dean¡¯s gaze fell on the pieces of equipment and potions.
Equipment: Evil Dragon Fang (dagger)

Item: Profession Temte Upgrade Trial Order
Description: Special item that can be used during a trial, can increase the difficulty level of the trial but a promotion can be achieved in the profession temte quality afterpleting the trial.
Blueprint: Evil Dragon Graveyard
Description: Once learned, [Evil Dragon Graveyard] can be built.
Looking at the attributes of these items before him, Dean¡¯s eyes shone brightly like light bulbs.
¡°These are all good stuff! The Evil Dragon Fang goes to Old Eight, even though it already has a [Shadow de], but daggers are dual-wield weapons, equipping one in each hand is perfectly normal.
The Evil Dragon Corpse Poison also goes to Old Eight, and the arrows go to Old Nine!
Evil Dragon Graveyard, does this mean that after constructing this, I will be able to batch farm Extraordinary temtes in the future?¡±
After allocating items to Old Eight and Old Nine, Dean held the [Evil Dragon Graveyard Blueprint] in his trembling hands.
Feeling as if he was about to achieve the free creation of extraordinary temtes, he eagerly handed it to Old Six for examination.
However, Old Six shook his small head after looking at it, indicating that it was unable to build it.
¡°Why can¡¯t it be built?
Is it because there are no materials?
Don¡¯t we have readily avable materials here?¡±
Dean was bewildered, didn¡¯t the Land of Bone pile up materials dismantled from the Evil Dragon Graveyard?
If they reassemble them, wouldn¡¯t they be able to recreate an [Evil Dragon Graveyard]?
Old Six exined that, theoretically, it was feasible. However, the Evil Dragon Graveyard was an advanced construction, the Land of Bone could not amodate it, and Old Six, now only an Intermediate Architect, couldn¡¯t assemble it either.
The most important point was that this construction required a seventh-turn Evil Dragon Dragon Pearl as its core. At least a 140.5-level Dragon Pearl was needed. Although there was one in this Evil Dragon Graveyard, it had been ruined by Doggy Two¡¯s attack.
In a nutshell, this item was very useful, but it was currently unusable.
Manufacturing Extraordinary temtes in batches was for now, unlikely.
Dean was somewhat disappointed, but at least he had a [Profession Temte Trial Upgrade Order].
¡°With this thing, I should have a chance to upgrade the temte quality to Extraordinary. However, this thing can only be used during a trial, I wonder if I can use it with a task scroll?
Speaking of task scrolls!
I seem to have quite a few of these sixth-turn task scrolls!¡±
Dean took out a cluster of sixth-turn task scrolls and stared at them thoughtfully.
¡°Should I try using one? After all, it seems I can give up on task scrolls!¡±
Dean took out one sixth-turn task scroll and started examining it.
Item: Sixth-turn Promotion Quest Scroll
Description: After using it, a promotion quest can be received. Completing the promotion quest will achieve promotion. If the quest fails or is given up, the difficulty of the next quest or trial will increase by one level.
Dean narrowed his eyes after reading these attributes.
¡°So if I give up or fail, the level of the next task or trial will be forcibly increased by 1?
Is there such a good thing?
I have to try one and see!¡±
Dean took out a sixth-turn task scroll and used it directly.
[You have used a sixth-turn task scroll, activating the sixth-turn promotion quest!]

[You¡¯ve activated the Six-turn Task, ughter for Enlightenment!]
The system message refreshed and a task appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie casually clicked on it.
[Task: ughter for Enlightenment
Task Difficulty: Normal ¡ª Difficult ¡ª Abyss
Description: Killing one is a sin, killing ten thousand is heroic, killing a million makes you a hero amongst heroes!
Kill ten thousand people on the spot with the heads of ten thousand people and stay there for three days toplete the normal difficulty task!
Kill one hundred thousand people on the spot with the heads of one hundred thousand people and stay there for three days toplete the difficult difficulty task!
Kill one million people on the spot with the heads of one million people and stay there for three days toplete the abyss difficulty task!]
¡°Damn, what kind of messed up task is this!¡±
The moment Dean McKenzie saw this task, he knew it wasn¡¯t suitable for him.
Not to mention whether he could bring himself to do it.
Even if he could, the maximum difficulty level of Abyss wouldn¡¯t interest Dean McKenzie.
So without any hesitation, Dean McKenzie gave up on this task.
[You have abandoned the Promotion Trial [ughter for Enlightenment]. As a punishment, your next Promotion Quest and Trial difficulty will be increased by one Level!]
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t scared of this consequence.
After giving up, he took out another sixth-turn task scroll and opened it.
[You have opened [the Sixth-turn Task Scroll] and obtained the Six-turn Promotion Trial [ughter for Enlightenment].]
[Task: ughter for Enlightenment
Task Difficulty: Difficult ¡ª Abyss ¡ª Hell
Description: Killing one is a sin, killing ten thousand is heroic, killing a million makes you a hero amongst heroes, and killing ten million gives you eternity!
Kill one hundred thousand people on the spot with the heads of one hundred thousand people and stay there for three days toplete the difficult task!
Kill one million people on the spot with the heads of one million people and stay there for three days toplete the abyss task!
Kill ten million people on the spot with the heads of ten million people and stay there for three days toplete the hell task!]
Dean McKenzie frowned upon reading the task that popped up in front of him.
¡°Am I really that evil?
Do they really want me toplete this kind of task?
If I really were toplete this task, wouldn¡¯t I have to ughter all of the South Barbarian, which doesn¡¯t even have many people to begin with. They only have one Seven-turn in the Giant Bear Tribe. If I ughter an entire South Barbarian, wouldn¡¯t I be ganged up on by a dozen Seven-turns?
It¡¯s even more dangerous to go to the Alliance. It would be normal for a
Seven-turn or higher to show up at any time.
This is not a Promotion Trial at all, it¡¯s a death sentence.
I must give up!¡±
[You have abandoned the Trial [ughter for Enlightenment]. As a punishment, your next Promotion Task and Trial difficulty will be increased by one Level!]
Dean McKenzie abandoned another trial task.
From now on, the starting point for Dean McKenzie¡¯s trial tasks will have to be at the Abyss Level.
In addition to using the [Profession Temte Trial Upgrade Command], Dean McKenzie will have to face the Hell level six-turn Trial task.
¡°My normal level is equivalent to the Hell Level Trial task. Should I look at another task scroll?
I can¡¯t be that unlucky. They wouldn¡¯t give me [ughter for Enlightenment] again, would they?
Even if they really do, I could still give up, right? By giving up this time, I just have to face the challenge of the Abyss Mode next time.
I am very eager for the tenfold upgrade no matter what!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie took out another Sixth-Turn Task Scroll.
[You have opened the [Sixth-Turn Task Scroll], and obtained the Six-turn Promotion Trial Task [ughter for Enlightenment] again¡
¡°To hell with it!¡±
On the spot, Dean McKenzie ripped the Sixth-turn Task Scroll to shreds.
Tearing it up wasn¡¯t enough to vent his anger, he stomped on it a few times, unzipped his pants and took a piss on it. He didn¡¯t stop until he saw his partner reach out to pick up the shreds of the scroll, and tried to stuff them into his mouth. Dean McKenzie stepped in to stop him.
He signaled that he wasn¡¯t mad anymore and asked his partner to put down his hand, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be usable.
After somemotion, Dean McKenzie hadpletely given up onpleting the sixth-turn by using the Task Scroll.
Dean McKenzie realized that the damn [ughter for Enlightenment] was utterly against him. He guessed that if he were to open another one, it would be [ughter for Enlightenment] again.
Furthermore, the current difficulty level of the Abyss task was essentially Dean McKenzie¡¯s limit.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know if there was anything beyond that, but he did know that he had reached his limit.
¡°It seems I will have to rely on the Promotion Temple for my Six-turn!
So the next step is to collect the materials needed for the Six-turn and figure out a way to borrow a Level 6 Promotion Temple. The most important thing is to enhance my own strength!
It would be best to upgrade my Talent to Level 6 before the Six-turn. This will allow my skills to be elevated, and I would have abat power close to the Seven-turn!
I¡¯m not in a hurry. I still have time.
Unless it¡¯s necessary, I might have to hide out for a year and a half, making a few trips to the [Bone Tomb] every month. This way, in a year and half, I should be able to level up all my skills to Level 15!
There¡¯s no rush!¡±
As Dean McKenzie was pondering, he exited from the Evil Dragon Graveyard and Ten Thousand Mountain Range.
However, after exiting the Ten Thousand Mountain Range, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t leave immediately.
At the moment, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t have anything particrly urgent to do. The chances of a sessful promotion were still small, so he decided to stay in Ten Thousand Mountain Range for a while. After all, he had amunication tool which allowed him to keep in touch with Carl.
Unless it¡¯s necessary to act, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t really have any pressing matters to deal with..
Chapter 311:188 Corpse Explosion Enhancement—2
Chapter 311:188 Corpse Explosion Enhancement¡ª2
Trantor: 549690339
Rather than returning to the Giant Bull Tribe, it would be better to stay in the
Ten Thousand Mountain range.
It¡¯s safer here. If the leader of the Giant Bear Tribe decides to make a move, at least he wouldn¡¯t be able to corner Dean McKenzie in the Giant Bull Tribe.
What¡¯s more important is, the Ten Thousand Mountain range is not fully explored.
No one knows what kind of adventures could be hidden here, after all, Dean McKenzie just recently found the Evil Dragon Graveyard.
Who knows, Dean McKenzie might find a Level 6 Promotion Temple within the
Ten Thousand Mountain range.
If such fortune happens, Dean McKenzie¡¯s life would be so much easier.
Aside from this, another important reason why Dean McKenzie stays in the Ten Thousand Mountain range is because he ns to turn it into an outlet for the poption of the Land of Bone.
The construction of the City of Bone is in full swing within the Land of Bone.
The citizens of the Land of Bone grow stronger gradually.
Once they reach a certain level, it¡¯s time for Dean McKenzie to set his workers free in the outside world.
As such, Dean McKenzie ns to establish an entrance to the Land of Bone within the Ten Thousand Mountain range.
To be exact, mainly an exit where people from the Land of Bone could directly travel to the Ten Thousand Mountain range.
With this, even if Dean McKenzie is not in the Ten Thousand Mountain range, the people of the Land of Bone could appear directly there.
This could also prevent those targeting the Land of Bone from associating
Dean McKenzie with the Land of Bone.
To establish such ess is not an easy task, it cannot be done overnight.
But setting people free need not wait for the ess to be fully established.
On the day Dean McKenzie returned to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountain range after exploring the Evil Dragon Graveyard, he picked a group of people from the Land of Bone to release.
It included Finch Olmedo who had already reached the three-turn stage.
As well as hundreds of people from the Giant Lizard Tribe who had reached the two-turn stage.
Dean McKenzie did not release all these people in one location.
Instead, he dispersed them.
Apart from Finch Olmedo, whose location Dean McKenzie carefully selected, and to whom he assigned a Six-turn Skeleton Assassin for protection, the rest were just randomly scattered.
Just like sowing seeds, where itnds, it grows.
As for whether they can firmly establish themselves and grow, that¡¯s beyond Dean McKenzie¡¯s concern.
And because of Dean McKenzie¡¯s irresponsible attitude, nearly forty percent of the citizens of the Land of Bone that he released on the first day died.
Twenty more bodies were added to the Land of Bone under Dean McKenzie¡¯s control.
On the second day, once the citizens of the Land of Bone released by Dean McKenzie had their feet firmly nted and had a basic understanding of their surroundings, arge portion of them decided to leave the Ten Thousand Mountain range. Only a small portion chose to remain and face the challenges of the Ten Thousand Mountain range.
Dean McKenzie did not interfere with the choices of the citizens of the Land of Bone.
Whether they chose to stay or leave, it was their freedom.
As far as Dean McKenzie is concerned, since he has taken their endings, how they live their lives is up to them.
Dean McKenzie is like an emotionless seed-sowing robot, releasing over a hundred citizens of the Land of Bone each day.
in less than two months, the poption of the Land of Bone reduced by nearly half.
The poption in the Ten Thousand Mountain range increased by nearly six thousand.
Of course, in the vast Ten Thousand Mountain range, six thousand more people wouldn¡¯t cause a ripple, let alone sixty thousand.
Moreover, these six thousand did not all stay within the Ten Thousand Mountain range.
Seventy to eighty percent of them chose to leave the Ten Thousand Mountain range, including Calvin, one of the two Extraordinary Temtes within the Land of Bone.
Speaking of Calvin.
He was almost thrown out by Dean McKenzie.
Mainly because he did nothing in the Land of Bone except establishing the
Bone God Religion.
Each day, he led arge group of followers in prayer.
In the beginning, Dean McKenzie felt it was somewhat beneficial.
However, as Calvin continued to pray, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wild Intuition began to flicker, and it soon shone brightly.
His Wild Intuition told Dean McKenzie that if he let Calvin continue praying, Dean McKenzie would be doomed!
Furthermore, having the whole Giant Lizard Tribe doing nothing but praying was not appropriate.
Hence, Dean McKenzie threw Calvin out.
Not only did he throw him out, he sternly warned Calvin not to spread the Bone God Religion, nor was he allowed to leadrge groups of followers in prayer. After receiving Dean McKenzie¡¯s stern warnings, Calvin cried unconsble tears.
He wailed like an abandoned child, repeating ¡°The god does not want me!¡± over and over, inplete hysteria.
He cried for three days and nights, before finally leaving the Ten Thousand Mountain range with his head held low.
When he left, Dean McKenzie noticed that Calvin¡¯s temte had degraded, it fell from an Extraordinary Temte to an Ordinary Temte. Moreover, his Extraordinary Trait, Heart of Admiration towards Light, had turned gray.
It broke Dean¡¯s heart and filled him with regret. After all the effort, an Extraordinary Temte was wasted.
But there was nothing he could do.
Even if Dean McKenzie was heartbroken, he could not salvage what¡¯s already wasted.
Fortunately, although Calvin was wasted.
During these two months, the citizens of the Land of Bone under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand had indeed brought out numerous talents.
The first one undoubtedly is Finch Olmedo..
Chapter 312:188 Corpse Explosion Enhancement^
Chapter 312:188 Corpse Explosion Enhancement^
Trantor: 549690339
Thisd, ever since he came out of the Land of Bone, was quite at home in the vast mountains.
In just two short months, his strength had grown a full level to four.
Even more surprising to Dean McKenzie was that he had actually brought back
a corpse with an extraordinary temte.
Thanks to that corpse with an extraordinary temte, Dean now has two pieces of an extraordinary temte. He just needs one more to assemble an extraordinary temte.
Apart from Finch Olmedo, more than a dozen other professionals also grew one level in these two months, reaching level 3-
Although their power was not a lotpared to Dean, they were gradually maturing with their growth, and Dean¡¯s n of raising sons en masse was gradually being implemented.
At present, all the professionals, including Finch Olmedo, have entered the City of Bone.
Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t aplish the promotion process.
Dean granted ess to the City of Bone only when the professionals were about to promote to a new ss.
However, the only permission Dean currently grants is elementary, and it¡¯s only allowed in a remote corner of the City of Bone.
The reason for granting only elementary permission is because Dean can only give elementary permission for now.
Thepletion degree of City of Bone is also limited to a block formed by four 100-meter-long streets that have been opened to Finch and his group.
Inside, there is only one ¡°level 4 Promotion Temple¡±, one NPC in charge of managing promotions, one Block Management Center responsible for renting shops and residences, one small squad responsible for maintaining order in the block, and one task stele next to the Promotion Temple which has not yet been enabled.
This forms a very primitive City of Bone.
Members including Finch Olmedo can enter the City of Bone for 8 hours a day.
This length of time is enough for them to rest andmunicate with each other.
There were generally no problems with the City of Bone¡¯s trial operation for half a month.
After all, there aren¡¯t many people, just over a dozen, so no issues arose.
Of course, Dean has no ns to increase the staff of the City of Bone in a short period of time.
There isn¡¯t a great necessity for it.
Dean can slowly perfect the City of Bone.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry right now.
After all, time is on his side.
In the past two months, Dean¡¯s gold mine brought him an ie of 480,000.
This 480,000 was basically all used up and spent on a ¡°Bone Tomb .
In two months, the cooldown of the ¡°Bone Tomb¡± was restored twice.
Dean also used ¡°Death Epiphany¡± four times.
Each time brought substantial returns.
Four uses of ¡°Death Epiphany¡± brought Dean¡¯s ¡°Bone Resistance¡±, ¡°Bone
Armor¡±, and ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± up to level 15-
Even the ¡°Skeleton Summoning¡± reached level 5!
The skills of the dogs under Dean¡¯smand have also greatly improved.
Particrly, the ¡°Guardian Shield¡± of Old Four, which is now at level 9 naked and can reach level 12 when equipped. This is basically the limit of the equipment.
The ¡°Death Arrow¡± of Old Nine and the ¡°Strong Stealth¡± of Doggy Eight have
both reached level 15.
However, the level-up of these skills is not the biggest gain for Dean.
The biggest gain is that Dean has figured out the pattern of skill enhancement.
Of four ¡°Death Epiphanies¡±, Dean¡¯s ¡°Corpse Explosion¡± did not increase by 1 level!
Because before each ¡°Death Epiphany¡±, Dean instinctively made himself forget about this skill, and thus this skill was not enhanced.
Of course, the reason Dean did not enhance the ¡°Corpse Explosion¡± skill is not because he looked down on it.
This skill is currently Dean¡¯s trump card.
It¡¯s just that Dean hasn¡¯t found a suitable trait to enhance this skill.
The cost-effectiveness of skills that have not been enhanced is different when they level-up, so it¡¯d be better for Dean not to upgrade the ¡°Corpse Explosion-skill that hadn¡¯t been enhanced.
In terms of the enhancement of the ¡°Corpse Explosion¡± skill, Dean already had a few traits in his hand these two months.
One is ¡°Soul Explosion¡±, which can deal damage to souls.
One is ¡°Damage Deepening¡±, which can increase the damage of Corpse Explosion.
One is ¡°Ignore Defense¡±, which can strip off the other party¡¯s defense traits. These three traits are quite good, but Dean still feels something iscking.
After all, this skill he is reinforcing is his trump card, and Dean obviously hopes that the stronger this trump card is, the better.
Yet it¡¯s not easy to find a stronger traitpared to these three.
It distressed Dean for two full months before he came up with a solution after not wanting to wait any longer!
¡°Why not add them all one by one?¡±
After all, it¡¯s not just enhanced once. The first enhancement is Soul Explosion¡±, the second enhancement is ¡°Damage Increase¡±, and the third enhancement is ¡°Ignore Defense¡±. Boost everything to an extraordinary quality. That should be enough, right?
Such a skill unleashed, it would be terrifying even to Seven-turn beings!¡±
Once Dean said it, he did it. He injected 500,000 gold coins into it. Although Dean ran out of gold coins, he still had Purple gold coins.
Just those nine evil dragons gave him 27,000 Purple gold coins, which would equal to 270 million gold coins.
Five hundred thousand gold coins? That¡¯s just 500 Purple gold coins.
After the investment, ¡°Corpse Explosion¡± was immediately elevated to one enhancement.
Then Dean took out another 400 Purple gold coins and opened a ¡°Death Epiphany¡±.
This time, Dean focused his attention on ¡°Corpse Explosion .
¡®¡ö[You have activated Death Epiphany, your skill Corpse Explosion (First Enhancement) has been upgraded to level 3, and your skill Bone Prison has been upgraded to level 13¡¯.]¡±
¡®¡ö[Your wraith servant (Doggy Eight) skill Divine Thief has been upgraded to level 5!]¡±
In-between the dense notifications, Dean sessfully raised the level of ¡°Corpse Explosion¡± to level 3!
Skill: Corpse Explosion (Fourth-turn) (One Enhancement)
Level: Level 3
Mana Consumption: 3 million
Effect: Use on a corpse to cause damage within a radius of 150 meters, damage equals 4-dimensional attributes of the corpse plus user¡¯s mana plus user¡¯s spirit plus magic strength times 26 plus 30 million.
ps: Whenever the attack range increases by 150 meters, the damage decreases by 20%.
Trait: Soul Explosion (Extraordinaire) (Level 1) (causes an explosion damage to the soul equal to 33% of the skill damage)

Chapter 313:189 The first legendary trait
Trantor: 549690339
Since the moment Dean McKenzie began enhancing the[Corpse Explosionjskill, he focused his entire energy solely on this one skill.
After two months, he finally seeded in enhancing thefCorpse Explosionjskill thrice, and even increased its level to 8!
With the terror-inducing attributes of a thrice-enhanced Level 8 Corpse Explosion¡
Skill: Corpse Explosion (Fourth-turn) (Thrice-enhanced)
Level: 8
Magic Consumption: 8 million
Effect: By activating this skill on a corpse, it can cause damage within a 400-meter radius, multiplying the sum of the four-dimensional attributes of the corpse and the Spirit of the Magic Strength user by 36 and adding 170 million.
Note: For each additional 400-meter radius, the damage decreases by 20 percent.
Trait. Soul Explosion (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (Causes 33 percent of the skill damage to the soul)
Damage Deepening (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (Increases Skill damage by 330 percent)
Ignore Defense (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (33% of the skill damagepletely ignores the opponent¡¯s defense)
To achieve these three extraordinary traits, Dean McKenzie had to work incredibly hard over these two months.
He invested all avable resources to this end which eventually resulted in the development of this skill.
Of course, everything Dean McKenzie put into this was worth it.
The[Corpse Explosionjskill at present is the most terrifying among Dean McKenzie¡¯s arsenal, without a doubt.
In the hands of Dean McKenzie, a thrice-enhanced Level 8 version can inflict horrific damage.
Most importantly, this is by no means the limit of theJCorpse Explosion], as Dean McKenzie still holds theJLich King¡¯s Wrath],
Once Dean McKenzie activates[Lich King¡¯s Wrath], the[Corpse Explosionjskill can be directly elevated to level 19!
How devastating can a thrice-enhanced Level 19 Corpse Explosion be?
Dean McKenzie himself doesn¡¯t even know because he never used it before!
But one thing is certain, if hit directly by this, even a Seven-turn level entity would suffer greatly!
Dean McKenzie even had a hunch that if he used this in the Land of Bone, it might cause his Land of Bone to copse directly.
That thought excited Dean McKenzie!
However, due to the terrifying power of this skill, Dean McKenzie dared not use it recklessly.
After all, he is now in the Ten Thousand Ranges, so who knows what would happen if he was careless?
WithfCorpse Explosion]now at level 8, Dean McKenzie had to stop enhancing it for now.
He had no choice, considering that he could still usefCorpse Explosion]at its current level and at level 19 upon activating]Lich King¡¯s Wrath],
If he were to elevate[Corpse Explosion]to another level, at Level 20, his 30 million-plus Mana would not be enough.
Thus, for now, the enhancement and promotion of this skill had to cease.
¡°The skill enhancement isplete; my strength has reached near its potential limit.
But for now, there¡¯s no sign of the Talent level increasing.¡±
¡®Tm still missing an Extraordinary Temte, plus Doggy Two isn¡¯t fully evolved yet.
I should wait some more and endure a little longer before advancing to Six-turn. After all, there are no anomalies in the Giant Bear Tribe, so I¡¯m not in a hurry.
Time is on my side; I can take it slow!¡±
Dean McKenzie said these words, his gaze involuntarily falling onto the Land of Bone.
Two months have passed, and the situation in the City of Bone had drastically changed.
Two months ago, the City of Bone, including Finch Olmedo, had less than 20 people in all.
But now, two monthster, the poption of the City of Bone had increased by over tenfold, reaching 300 to 400 people.
With the influx of people, the bustling atmosphere had begun to pervade the city streets of the City of Bone.
Many clear-minded individuals, recognizing the prosperous future of the City of Bone, started early toyout their ns and collections of shops and houses in the city.
The most significant among them was Finch Olmedo, who had already possessed five shops and ten houses.
This was before Dean McKenzie found out and temporarily imposed a restriction where each person could only purchase three shops and five residential buildings, with heavy taxes imposed on the parts in excess.
The more shops and houses one has, the more taxes would be collected. If not for this, Finch Olmedo could probably monopolize an entire street!
And so, even with these limits, Finch Olmedo still managed to secure the five best shops on the block.
Dean McKenzie was worried.
He was worried that after acquiring these high-quality assets, Finch Olmedo would be a capitalist dog, losing his motivation to move forward.
Fortunately, such a scenario didn¡¯t ur to Finch Olmedo.
On one hand, this kid was inherently filled with adventurous genes, a love for exploration, and a desire for freedom.
On the other hand, and more importantly, the city was not fully developed.
300 or so professionals, all at the Third-turn level, are not enough to make a significant difference in the City of Bone.
At least, Finch Olmedo¡¯s idea of making a living from his handful of shops was temporarily impossible.
His stores were currently in an investment phase, and a loss-making investment phase at that. Every month, Finch Olmedo had to break the bank to pay the tax.
The sum wasn¡¯t small and for Finch Olmedo, it¡¯d be a significant burden.
But, bearing witness to the continuous expansion of the City of Bone, Finch Olmedo willingly endured the cost.
He roamed the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Ranges daily with vigor.
During this process, his potency improved steadily. Today, two monthster, Finch Olmedo¡¯s level had reached 96, not far from reaching Fifth-turn.
His overall strength also underwent a terrifying enhancement..
Chapter 314:189 First Legendary Trait_2
Chapter 314:189 First Legendary Trait_2
Trantor: 549690339
More than a month ago, Dean McKenzie had discovered the Skeleton Assassin he had sent to protect Finch Olmedo. They had battled, and with his Fourth-turn power, Finch had managed to subdue the Six-turn Skeleton Assassin.
The poor fellow who had just been newly-named as the 13th was killed once again.
Although the 13th had not used his full strength to protect his target, Finch¡¯s power was undeniable.
After that battle, Dean knew that his ¡®golden boy¡¯, Finch, had fully matured, and grown into his powers.
Compared to this fully-formed ¡®golden boy¡¯, another of his children with the Extraordinary Temte was causing Dean to fret.
Calvin¡¯s spirit had crumbled after leaving the mountains. It¡¯s been several months, and he hadn¡¯t advanced a single level.
His Temte was still the Ordinary Temte.
As a person, he appeared to be inplete decline.
The feeling was as if his world was falling apart.
In these few months, if it weren¡¯t for Dean¡¯s skeleton watching him, he might have died in some anonymous corner.
Looking at Calvin, Dean hesitated, deciding whether to let him continue this downward spiral.
In truth, Dean knew very well how to restore Calvin¡¯s vitality.
It was actually quite simple. If he could return to the Land of Bone again, there was a high chance that Calvin might make a miraculous recovery.
But pursuing such an approach would inevitably bring about danger.
¡°Forget it. Let him be for now he should be okay as long as he¡¯s alive.
I should only revive him when my own power is strong enough.
Faith isn¡¯t something someone who hasn¡¯t achieved Six-turn, like myself should meddle with.¡±
Dean did have this self-awareness.
One should only do what their strength allows.
If someone is not strong enough but pursues grand goals, they are likely to meet a tragic end.
¡°I should focus on developing the City of Bone for now. Even though the City of Bone currently has only a little over three hundred residents, it is already generating considerable profit for me.
It¡¯s about time for further development!¡±
Following this, Dean gave an order and a number of shops were opened in the central district of the City of Bone, where he had previously reserved several storefronts.
The Bone Equipment Store responsible for selling, recycling and repairing equipment.
The Bone Pharmacy responsible for selling, recycling, and concocting potions.
The Bone General Store responsible for the sale and recycling of goods and materials.
The Bone Variety Store responsible for selling a variety of everyday necessities.
Besides these four regr shops, there was also a Bone Corpse Recycling Center.
It publicly purchased corpses at set prices.
A Level-One Corpse: Elite Temte (5 Silver Coins), Excellent Temte (25 Gold Coins), Rare Temte (1 Gold Coin), Perfect Temte (5 Gold Coins).
The price for a Level Two corpse is five times that of a Level One corpse.
The price for a Level Three corpse is five times that of a Level Two corpse.
And so on¡
An Extraordinary Temte, regardless of the level, can be bought for 20,000 Gold Coins, and the price is negotiable.
The prices that Dean offered weren¡¯t very high, especially for corpses below the Extraordinary Temte, but it provided a source of ie for the professionals.
They were visiting the City of Bone every day anyway, they might as well bring back a few corpses each time.
With a few corpses each, a few hundred could trante into thousands per day.
Even if they were just Elite Temte corpses, in a month, they could umte an Extraordinary Temte. Besides, the poption of Dean¡¯s City of Bone was definitely more than 300.
The number of residents was steadily rising.
So, the corpses they could bring back were certainly not just Elite Temte.
Indeed, as the corpse collection center opened on the first day, more than 300 people managed to garner almost a thousand corpses for Dean.
The worst were Elite Temtes, and the best were Perfect Temtes.
Dean spent three to four thousand Gold Coins that day alone.
And that was just the first day.
Likewise, as the poption of the City of Bone continued to increase, the business at the corpse collection center progressively boomed.
Though Deanter stopped epting Elite Temte corpses, the corpses that flowed in were always in surplus.
In just half a month, the daily expenditure to purchase corpses had reached 30,000-4.0,000 Gold Coins.
That¡¯s ten times more than initially.
Dean¡¯s finances began to strain, as he wasn¡¯t using the Purple Gold Coins.
Fortunately, now that the citizens of the City of Bone were affluent, they didn¡¯t hold on to quite as much money.
They spent it in Dean¡¯s establishments all across the City of Bone.
Thus, the sales in Dean¡¯s four stores skyrocketed.
On their best day, the shops could earn as much as 70,000 to 80,000 Gold Coins.
After bncing out the expenses and earning, Dean realized that not only had he not lost any money, he had made some
¡°As expected, money needs to be circted to earn more!¡±
Using the Corpse Collection Center, Dean managed to amass over 50,000 corpses in a month.
The worst corpses were elite temtes, and there were as many as 100 perfect temtes among them. Arge proportion of these were attributed to the hard work of Finch.
By doing this, Finch made a fortune.
However, Finch didn¡¯t get to keep his money long.
After all, he had many expenses. There were equipment, skills, items, task scrolls ¨C countless ways he could spend his money.
Thus, Finch was making lots of money, but also spending it in heaps.
His power increased rapidly in the process. He soon reached level 100, and began preparing for the Fifth-turn transformation.
Just in time, Dean managed to get hold of a Fifth-turn Extermination Task Scroll and put it up for sale in the General Store for the hefty price of 50,000..
Chapter 315:189 First Legendary Trait 3
Chapter 315:189 First Legendary Trait 3
The price was about twice Finch Olmedo¡¯s fortune, which made him ve away for the next one or two months just for a Task Scroll. He was so busy that he was practically flying around.
Dean McKenzie, on the other hand, who had already trained up his toad offspring, was much more rxed.
He simply sat back and did nothing, as people naturally supplied the resources he needed in front of him.
Life was quitefortable.
Four months passed for Dean like this.
During these four months, Finch Olmedo finally managed to scrape together 50,000 Gold Coins to buy the Fifth-tum Extermination Task Scroll.
Meanwhile, the gains on Dean¡¯s side were even more astounding.
The poption of the City of Bone grew from 300 four months ago to 800 now.
This was also the temporary limit for the City of Bone.
After all, Dean had only deployed over six thousand people.
Of these six thousand plus people, some died in the ten-thousand-mountains, while others left the region.
Only about 800 people stayed in the ten-thousand-mountains and established themselves there.
As for those who left the ten-thousand-mountains, their power had basically stagnated unless they had extraordinary encounters.
After all, resources outside the ten-thousand-mountains were tightly controlled by various tribes.
It is hard for those who did not mix in the ten-thousand-mountains to level up elsewhere.
Of those who left, some were epted by the tribes, while others died on the journey.
But regardless of which, their powers didn¡¯t grow significantly and only a few among the minority could enter the City of Bone.
Dean estimated that it would take one or two years for them to fully establish themselves, and by then, the City of Bone¡¯s poption would experience a surge.
Of course, Dean could intervene in advance, but after hesitating for a moment, he ultimately decided to refrain from manual interference.
Because sometimes, early intervention is not necessarily a good thing.
If they gamed power before being epted by the tribes, it could pose a huge risk to them and the Land of Bone.
So for now, Dean chose to ignore this group of people.
He decided to focus on the 800 people in the ten-thousand-mountains.
After all, as long as he managed these 800 people well, Dean could already reap endless benefits.
In just over half a year, the number of bodies in Dean¡¯s Land of Bone skyrocketed to 300,000.
These 300,000 corpses nearly filled up more than half of the Land of Bone.
Dean had to utilize them quickly to increase his own power and also to free up space.
However, Dean was a bit hesitant about how to use these 300,000 corpses.
How should he use them?
¡°A single Extraordinary Temte only requires 30 Perfect Essences. Currently,
I have 700 corpses of Perfect Temtes, which means I can make 23 Extraordinary Temtes.
ording to this specification, traits above Extraordinary should only require
30 Extraordinary Traits.
If I add up all the resources I have now, I should be able to make one trait above Extraordinary!
So, the question is, should I make one trait above Extraordinary, or should I make several dozen Extraordinary Traits?¡±
After hesitating slightly on this issue, Dean made up his mind.
¡°Let¡¯s see if I can create a trait that is above Extraordinary!
After all, my power has grown to the limit of seventh-level. Twenty to thirty Extraordinary Traits may not necessarily enhance my power, but a trait above Extraordinary can!¡±
Saying this, Dean¡¯s gaze fell on his own Extraordinary Traits.
He deliberated over which Extraordinary Trait to enhance.
Insight, huh? This trait can let me see the enemy¡¯s weaknesses and greatly enhance my attack power. But I don¡¯t need it for those below the seven-turn, and for those above, I don¡¯t need it either. A single Corpse Explosion can solve the problem.
If Corpse Explosion can¡¯t solve it, I feel it doesn¡¯t have much use. Besides, seeing doesn¡¯t necessarily mean hitting.
As for the trait of Corpse Explosion, enhancing it is obviously the best option.
But my current Mana doesn¡¯t allow it, so I have to give up.
What¡¯S left is the Undying trait of the Skeleton Legion, Wild Intuition¡¯s
ident Perception, Old Four¡¯s Damage Reduction, and the Flight Skill¡¯s High-speed Flight.
All these skill traits are great, but sadly, I can only enhance one.
If I only have one, then it has to be this one!¡±
Dean said, his gaze falling on Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield.
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn) (2 Enhancement)
Level: Level 9
Consumption: 1.8 million Spirit Power
Effect: Upon activation, you can create a Guardian Shield, linking 9 units and transferring the damage they receive to yourself.
Passively increases Physique by 41 times plus 150.4 million fixed defenses, reducing forty percent of damage
Trait: Damage Reduction (Extraordinary) (Level 1)
Effect: Can passively reduce ny-five percent of damage received (six-turn and below)
PS: Immune to Damage such as Armor Break and Actual Damage below
Extraordinary Quality
PSS: Trait reduction is calcted before defense
In the past few months, Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield had not been enhanced.
The situation was simr to Dean¡¯s Corpse Explosion. The main reason was that if it was upgraded by one or two levels, Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield would be unaffordable.
¡°If 1 don¡¯t upgrade the level, but only the traits, it should be doable, right?
Let s try enhancing Old Four¡¯s Damage Reduction!
If Damage Reduction can be enhanced above Extraordinary, then I should be invincible in front of seven-turners, right?
Let¡¯s give it a try!¡±
Dean said, and immediately got to work.
The first wave, resurrect the 300,000 corpses.
Just this step took Dean nearly half a month.
Fortunately, afterpleting the resurrection of 300,000 corpses, Dean¡¯s next actions were much simpler.
The units killed by Dean¡¯s Skeleton Legion were counted as Dean¡¯s as well With a wave of Dean¡¯s hand, the Skeleton Legion covered the area, and the freshly resurrected 300,000 corpses were quickly annihted.
Then Dean extracted them one by one, followed by infusing all their Essence Traits into the Guardian Shield.
As 300,000 Essence Traits were infused, the already Extraordinary Trait,
Damage Reduction, began to transform¡.
Chapter 316:190 Six-turn Trial
Chapter 316:190 Six-turn Trial
[Enhancement of your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) skill [Guardian Shield] isplete!]
With the system prompt refreshed, a new attribute of the Guardian Shield appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn)(3 Enhance)
Level: 9
Cost: 3.6 million Spirit Power
Effect: Upon activation, it canunch the Guardian Shield, linking nine units, and transferring the damage they receive to yourself.
Passively increases own physique with Defense multiplier of 41 plus a Fixed Defense of 15,040 ten thousand, absorbing forty percent of damages.
Trait: Damage Reduction (Legendary) (1st Level)
Effect: Can passively reduce ny-five percent of the damages you receive (effective up to Seventh-turn).
ps: Immune to all attack traits of all qualities lower than Legendary.
pss: Trait Reduction calction has precedence over Defense.
With this attribute, Dean McKenzie knew he was invincible.
He now had the strength to face a Seventh-turn, even standing invincible under a Seventh-turn¡¯s onught.
¡°With [Corpse Explosion] for offense, and [Guardian Shield] for defense, I¡¯m ready for the Seventh-turn battle!
It¡¯s time for me to take action!¡±
As he spoke, Dean¡¯s gaze involuntarily fell on the Giant Bear Tribe.
Unfortunately, over the past half year, Dean had made significant gains but still had not found a Six-turn Promotion Temple in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Which means, at this moment, if Dean wanted toplete the Sixth-turn, he still had to pin his hopes on the Giant Bear Tribe.
And Dean was no longer prepared to wait.
Though, if Dean continued to wait, his strength could further increase.
However, without breakthrough in the rank, the efficiency of strength increase was low.
In addition, an important factor was that, with the continuous construction and development of the City of Bone, the Intermediate 2-star Land of Bone was somewhat insufficient for Dean¡¯s current stage.
Dean needed to quickly increase the level of the Land of Bone.
Otherwise, the Land of Bone wouldn¡¯t be able to keep up with his needs.
Furthermore, with the increasing number of Dean¡¯s frog sons sent out, while Dean was making huge gains, the Land of Bone was also facing a certain degree of risk.
Dean needed to quickly strengthen himself and the Land of Bone to confront the risk.
So, once Dean had enough strength, he immediately started preparing for the promotion.
Then, at Dean¡¯smand.
A [Seventh-turn Task Scroll] was sent to Carl!
With the scroll, Carl, who had been restless for half a year, could finally begin the [Seven-turn Trials].
At the same time, Dean¡¯s actions increased, bing more vigorous.
And Dean¡¯s movement soon aroused the attention of the Giant Bear Tribe.
Giant Bear Tribe!
¡°High Priest, we just received news that a Skeleton Legion numbering at least three thousand is gathering around our tribe.¡±
When this message was delivered to Yorick Meyer, his eyes flew open and his elderly face showed a fierce expression.
¡°Did those skeletons appear on the road from our tribe to the Giant Bull Tribe?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°It seems he¡¯s prepared to make a move!
nning to help Carl to breakthrough to the Seventh-turn?
Don¡¯t even think about it, absolutely impossible!¡±
Yorick Meyer¡¯s words hadn¡¯t fallen, when within their tribe, a glow began to sh.
At this sight, Yorick realised that the other party was genuinely starting the Promotion Trial. Unable to stand still any longer, Yorick sprang up and said, ¡°Send out my order, assemble the tribe¡¯s warriors immediately!¡±
At Yorick¡¯smand, the warriors of the Giant Bear Tribe were summoned.
As the overlord of the southern barbarian bordends, it goes without saying that the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s strength was terrifying.
Despite the absence of their 7th-turn chief, they had five beings at 140.5 Level, nearly 3000 six-turn beings, in addition to 5000 five-turn beings.
In less than two hours, the Giant Bear Tribe summoned nearly 10,000 legion members who went straight to the Giant Bull Tribe!
On their way, they directly collided with the three-thousand-strong Skeleton Legion set up by Dean McKenzie.
Looking at this three thousand six-turn ordinary-quality Skeleton Legion, Yorick Meyer squinted his old eyes.
He remembered clearly that when Deanunched a battle in their tribest time, his Skeleton Legion was only five-turn. In less than half a year, it had increased to sixth-turn.
This made Yorick instinctively squeeze the ring on his thumb.
¡°This one from the Alliance cannot stay, we need to deal with him as soon as possible!¡±
Murmuring, Yorick waved a broad hand, ¡°Warriors of the Giant Bear Tribe, crush those damned skeletons in front of you!¡±
At Yorick¡¯smand, the warriors of the Giant Bear Tribe let out a howl, and the team of nearly ten thousand people surged forward.
Eight thousand versus three thousand!
The Giant Bear Tribe had every advantage!
In less than half an hour, Dean¡¯s three thousand Skeleton Legion was disassembled into three thousand piles of skeleton frames.
However, as Yorick showed a satisfied smile, and the warriors of the Giant Bear Tribe cheered for their victory,
They suddenly noticed that there were sounds of delicate bone collisions around them.
Soon after, they noticed that there were Skeleton Legions appearing around them once more.
The size of that legion was enormous.
The number was sorge, it was simply incalcble!
Moreover, this time¡¯s Skeleton Army was different from before, it was amanded legion.
Even though the Skeleton Army hadn¡¯t arrived yet,rge swathes of Bone Arrows were scattered over like they cost nothing..
Chapter 317:190 Six-turn Trial_2
Chapter 317:190 Six-turn Trial_2
As the bone arrows came hurtling towards him, Yorick Meyer felt a chill run down his spine, instinctively turning the ring on his left thumb.
With the rotation of his thumb ring, he swapped his position with a Level 140.5 champion from his tribe.
This champion was an impable defense in their Giant Bear Tribe.
Just as he swapped ces with Yorick Meyer, a roar resounded, his muscles bulged out, and a shield materialized in his hand for a violent defense, a burst of the Six-turn Skill activating full defense mode.
Yorick Meyer had utmost confidence in this champion¡¯s defense.
Beneath the Seven-turn level, this defense was invincible!
But then, this invincible defense was directly pierced by an arrow, his head exploded!
Seeing the champion¡¯s head burst open like a watermelon, a tremor ran through Yorick Meyer¡¯s body.
¡°Retreat!¡±
At this point, Yorick Meyer realized something was gravely amiss.
In a decisive tone, he gave the order to retreat.
But sometimes, whether you can retreat depends on the opportunity!
Just as he issued the order to retreat, something shed in front of him.
The next second, that thing was right in front of his eyes.
¡°Thud!¡±
Another Level 140.5 being at Yorick Meyer¡¯s side was flung away.
Turning his head, he saw that being pinned through its heart by a frightful Skeleton Knight¡¯snce, falling dead as a doornail.
Meanwhile, the third Level 140.5 hero nearby fell headless with a ¡®thud¡¯.
At this moment, Yorick Meyer was on the verge of losing his mind.
The enemy¡¯s strength surpassed his estimations by far.
Those who were invincible in their tribe were now being ughtered effortlessly on this battlefield, like helplessmbs.
¡°Get moving! Quick! Don¡¯t stop!¡±
At this moment, Yorick Meyer was inplete chaos.
He roared hysterically, fear had consumed his courage. He had only one thought ¨C to leave this ce and take his Giant Bear Tribe warriors back home. But was it really that easy to go back?
The moment their men tried to move, a massive figure appeared on the battlefield, uttering a deafening roar.
Shockingly, despite being just a skeleton, it produced a magnificent and terrifying sound.
The sound was like a spell, turning the eyes of the Giant Bear Tribe warriors red, as they uncontrobly lunged towards the massive figure.
Even Yorick Meyer couldn¡¯t resist the enchanting sound and moved with the crowd.
And thus, Doggy Three of the McKenzie household made his debut.
Over the past six months, under the influence of the Death Epiphany, he had grown to Level 15 and unleashed a powerful Forced Taunt (Tier 2).
Just how terrifying was this skill now?
Its attract cap had reached 140.5, with a coverage radius exceeding 5 kilometers!
This skill was nothing short of a war weapon!
Old Nine brought out this weapon of war, instantly spelling doom for the Giant Bear Tribe.
Escape was impossible!
They were forcibly pulled towards the enemy, bing targets of the Wraith Army.
Under Old Nine¡¯s relentless attack, the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s warriors suffered heavy casualties in the rain of arrows.
Seeing this, it seemed like their entire army was on the brink of annihtion.
At this moment, Yorick Meyer¡¯s ring on his left index finger began to rotate silently.
With the rotation of the ring, a force descended upon Yorick Meyer.
¡°Snap¡±
Under this force, the control of the Forced Taunt on Yorick Meyer was instantly broken.
As he broke free from the control, Yorick Meyer looked at the glowing ring in his hand, letting out a sigh of relief.
He knew, he was safe now!
Because, the chieftain of the Giant Bear Tribe, the uncrowned king of the South Barbarian perimeter, wasing!
¡°Snap!¡±
Almost at the same time, the ring in Yorick Meyer¡¯s hand shattered, the next second a figure appeared next to him.
What kind of figure was this?
The figure stood three meters tall, with a build solid like steel, standing firm and imposing like a war machine.
As he made his appearance, Old Three¡¯s Forced Taunt was instantly shattered.
The warriors of the Giant Bear Tribe came to their senses at once.
At the same time, everyone instinctively turned to look at the towering figure without any reminder.
Every pair of bright eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light.
Every warrior¡¯s blood was on the boil.
Before the chieftain could do anything, thebat power of the Giant Bear Tribe warriors skyrocketed.
At this moment, the tribal leader of the Giant Bear Tribe, an existence of seven-turn level, looked towards the high priest saying, ¡°High Priest, what¡¯s happening?
Since when did a bunch of filthy, six-turn wraiths dare toy hands on our tribe?¡±
¡°Honorable chieftain, I failed my duties!¡±
Yorick Meyer, usually arrogant and acting like he was second only to heaven and earth, was on his knees now begging humbly.
The Giant Bear Tribe leader didn¡¯t spare him a nce, setting his gaze upon the Wraith Army, as if he could look across the miles to meet Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes at the back of the Wraith Army.
¡°Is it you? You¡¯ve got some nerve!¡±
Dean McKenzie shivered under the other¡¯s gaze.
That look made Dean realize that he had underestimated Yorick¡¯s power. The opposing party was far stronger than Dean had anticipated.
Dean was almost certain that the party leader¡¯s temte was definitively of an extraordinary level..
Chapter 318:190 Six-turn Trial_3
Chapter 318:190 Six-turn Trial_3
Later, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Appraisal Skill confirmed his initial guess.
Name: Bear Barry
Status: Leader of the Giant Bear Tribe
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 160 (Seven-turn Peak)
Trait: ???
Attribute Points: ???
Evaluation: Too powerful to contend. Your current Corpse Explosion is unlikely to annihte him; direct confrontation is not rmended.
Eyeing the status information before him, Dean McKenzie narrowed his eyes and slowly emerged from the Wraith Army.
Upon seeing Dean McKenzie, who had the audacity to step forward under his
gaze, Bear Barry¡¯s smile became more malicious.
¡°Kid, you are quite¡.¡±
¡°Have you ever lost?¡±
Bear Barry was abruptly interrupted by Dean McKenzie before he could finish
his sentence.
¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°I asked if you have ever lost?¡±
Dean McKenzie repeated his previous question. Hearing this, Bear Barry¡¯s face contorted in rage.
¡°Never!¡±
As these two words left his mouth, Bear Barry immediately charged at Dean
McKenzie.
However, Dean McKenzie was quicker.
Before Bear Barry could react, Dean McKenzie took to the sky, easily dodging
Bear Barry¡¯s attack.
It¡¯s no joke, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Flight Skill is maxed out!
His terrifying speed left Bear Barry unprepared.
What surprised Bear Barry more was that Dean McKenzie sneered at him after ascending and then directly flew away in the next second.
Seeing the audacious specter who had defied him only to run off, Bear Barry was dumbstruck.
On the other hand, Yorick Meyer rapidly reacted.
¡°No good, Chief, he¡¯s headed towards the tribe!¡±
Bear Barry froze. His expression changed swiftly, and he was about to give chase, but he halted. He nced at the Wraith Army left behind by Dean McKenzie and made a move with a cold snort.
¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡±
In less than twenty seconds, one-third of the Wraith Army under Dean
McKenzie¡¯smand was wiped out.
Old Nine, Old Eight, and Old Seven, who had foreseen the unfavorable situation, had already fled.
Only Doggy Three was unfortunate enough to get caught due to hisrger size, and was exploded by a punch.
After swiftly annihting the Wraith Army, Bear Barry began to chase Dean McKenzie.
But what use was it?
Dean McKenzie was already faster than him, and he had hesitated, when he started, Dean McKenzie was already near the Giant Bear Tribe.
Uponnding, Dean McKenzie waved his hand and the Gate of Bone again opened, skeletons were hurled down along the way.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie himself headed straight for the Promotion
Temple!
Quickly reaching the Level 6 Promotion Temple, Dean McKenzie was tempted
to bring it home.
If he could bring this thing home, not only would he be able to achieve the six-turn himself, but the future citizens of the City of Bone would not have a hard time until their Six-turn stage.
Regrettably, his Land of Bone was still at the Intermediate 2-star level. Although Old Six is able to construct an Intermediate 3-star Bone Tomb within it, bringing something in from outside?
Impossible!
So, Dean McKenzie could only abandon the idea of moving it and plunge straight into the Promotion Temple!
just over ten minutes after Dean McKenzie entered the Promotion Temple,
Bear Barry finally returned to the Giant Bear Tribe.
As soon as Bear Barry returned to the tribe, his priority was to rush into its deepest part.
For Bear Barry, what mattered most bit of the tribe was the Giant Bear Totem Pir located in the depths of the tribe. If Dean McKenzie were to pull it down, it would drive him crazy.
Fortunately, when he returned, the Giant Bear Totem Pir was still there without any signs of disturbance.
Not only was there no trace of the Totem Pir being disturbed, although there were skeletons scattered all over the Giant Bear Tribe upon his return, the Giant Bear Tribe had not suffered major destruction.
There were barely any people left, either.
Moreover, the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s Treasure Vault was undamaged.
This left Bear Barry quite puzzled.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s actions were clearly a diversion, but once he was at the Giant Bear Tribe, he neither stole the tribe¡¯s heritage treasure nor took their resources. What was his hurry?
Bear Barry¡¯s doubts were soon addressed.
News reached him that Dean McKenzie had entered the Promotion Temple.
Upon hearing this news, Bear Barry hesitated and began to recall his impression of Dean McKenzie.
Back then, Dean McKenzie gave him a sense of threat, making him subconsciously believe that Dean McKenzie must be at least a Level 140.5 being.
But now that he thought about it, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level didn¡¯t seem that high.
Then, Bear Barry got further confirmation from Yorick Meyer.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s actions today aimed ultimately to borrow their Promotion Temple.
Yorick Meyer knew very clearly what his fate would be once this matter was exposed.
However, he didn¡¯t dare hide anything from Bear Barry.
He immediately knelt down and honestly reported theplete ount of the grudge between him and Dean McKenzie.
After hearing this, Bear Barry¡¯s eyebrows arched: ¡°So you¡¯re saying that you are the one who provoked this kid?¡±
¡°I am ipetent!
I deserve to die!¡±
¡°You should already be dead!¡±
With a p, Bear Barry sent Yorick Meyer sprawling on the ground, gasping for breath.
Of course, in the end, Bear Barry did not kill Yorick Meyer.
It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t bear to, in fact, he now wished he could kill Yorick Meyer.
He had actually brought such a powerful enemy to him, to the Giant Bear Tribe. He should have aroused him and killed him immediately, but now he had let him grow.
With his Skeleton Summoning and Flight Skill, even in Bear Barry¡¯s eyes, Dean McKenzie was a substantial threat.
The reason he spared Yorick Meyer¡¯s life was not that killing him would be useless. This foe was already offended, and killing Yorick Meyer would not change the situation.
Keeping him alive, maybeter, they can negotiate a truce.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Dean McKenzie canplete the Trial ande out.
After pping Yorick Meyer to the ground, Bear Barry turned his gaze to the Promotion Temple, pulling out an item from his pocket.
¡°You want to borrow our Promotion Temple to advance, huh? I¡¯ll facilitate this for you. If you make it, we will forget about the matters between us!¡± As he was speaking, Bear Barry flung the item up!
Chapter 319:191 Passing the Trial
Chapter 319:191 Passing the Trial
[You have used the[Intermediate Promotion Temple Voucher]to initiate a Six-turn Trial!]
[Since you have forfeited 3 Promotion Trials, your trial difficulty will automatically be set tofHell]! ]
[You have used the[Professional Upgrade Trial Order], the difficulty of this trial has been increased to[Abyss]!]
Amid a series of system prompts.
Dean McKenzie directly entered the Land of Trials!
¡°Let¡¯s do this!¡±
Stepping into the Land of Trials, Dean poured all his power right away.
He waved his hand, and the Summon Skeleton skill was activated, instantly summoning Old Eight and hispanions he left outside.
Even Doggy Three, who was blown up by Bear Barry, was revived through Dean¡¯s summoning.
Not only that, behind Dean stood around three hundred Perfect Quality
Six-turn Skeletons.
This was the power Dean had umted over half a year.
With this lineup, this strength, Dean confidently dered that he was invincible under a Seven-turn!
A mere Six-turn Trial, even if it¡¯s an Abyss level, Dean was not flustered.
The most formidable would be a Level 140.5 entity of Extraordinary-quality, and Dean could swat them dead with a wave of his hand!
Even a Level 140.5 Legendary-quality being held no fear for Dean.
If they were not at Seven-turn, they were destined to die!
Dean had prepared to quickly finish the trial and achieve the Six-turn.
The best-case scenario would be to reach the Six-turn before Bear Barry returns.
In that case, Dean could leave in aposed manner.
After all, Dean hadn¡¯t reached Six-turn yet, and he wasn¡¯t sure how much his power would increase after reaching that level.
So, Dean would rather seize the advantage and withdraw first.
He woulde back to seek revengeter when he reached the Seven-turn.
However, Dean¡¯s n was destined to change.
[You have initiated the[Abyss Mode]Six-turn Trial, this Trial Type is a[Tower Defense Survival]Trial!]
With this system prompt update,
Dean noticed that the environment of the Land of Trial had altered.
He was now in a small, broken city.
In the center of the city, there was a very conspicuous and ring light orb.
Just as Dean got a clear view of his surroundings, another system prompt updated.
[The Trial is about to begin, monsters are about to appear. Please ensure the safety of the Small Town during the monsters¡¯ onught. If the town is damaged more than eighty percent, or the City Heart shatters, this Trial will be dered a failure!]
¡°Boom!¡±
Almost the moment Dean saw this system prompt, a booming sound suddenly erupted in front of the town.
When Dean looked up, countless monsters suddenly emerged from nowhere, charging towards the town.
The monster legion was massive, though their levels varied greatly. The weakest were just single-digit levels, while the strongest reached Level 140.
However, when their numbers reached a certain scale, the levels of the monsters stopped mattering.
If it were any other profession, they would have pretty much conceded defeat upon seeing the tide of monsters charging.
After all, no matter how strong they were, they were still individuals and even if they could withstand the onught, they might find it challenging to protect the Small Town amidst these masses of monsters.
But Dean was different!
He was never alone!
So, while Dean regretted not being able to finish the Trial quickly upon seeing the horde of monsters, he was not panicked.
He was even a bit excited.
Weren¡¯t they just delivering resources to him?
¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t be polite and I¡¯ll take it!
Old Nine!¡±
With a light call from Dean, Old Nine stepped forward to start its performance.
It lifted its hand to charge up a shot!
The system prompt updated immediately in front of Dean.
[Your Wraith servant (Doggy Nine) used skill[Icy Arrow Rain] (One
Force) (Level 8) ,the Lucky Strike effect was activated and the damage multiplier is increased to[i2]!]
Skill: Icy Arrow Rain (Six-turn) (Two Forces)
Level: Level 8 (122/64 million)
Spirit Power consumption: 8 million
Skill Effect: Fires an arrow which inflicts area damage equivalent to 6 times basic attack to a 1300m x 1300m area. It also imposes a freeze effect on enemies within this radius, reducing their movement speed by 50%.
There is a 4% chance to inflict a freeze effect
Characteristic: Persistent Damage (Perfect) (Level 8) (Skill effect duration increased by 800%)
Area Increase (Perfect) (Level 8) (Skill damage area increased by 800%)
Old Nine¡¯s[Icy Arrow Rain]is a skill that Dean deliberately upgraded to specifically deal with mass battles.
With just one use of the skill, the area of over a dozen square kilometers in front of the Small Town was instantly covered with ghostly ice arrows.
Those countless monsters would copse in piles as they entered.
Despite the number of monsters, very few could make it through the cover of the[Icy Arrow Rain].
Even if one or two sturdy ones managed to get through, Dean had a whole fully-formed Wraith Army waiting for them!
Dean didn¡¯t stop after unleashing Old Nine.
Afterunching Old Nine, Dean opened the Gate of Bone, called out Old Six, and began furiously summoning skeletons.
Isn¡¯t Tower Defense Mode all about outnumbering the enemy?
Dean wanted to see who had more, the trialnd or him.
The skeletons he summoned were also not idle. Under the direction of Old Six, they began repairing the town..
Chapter 320:191 Passed Trial_2
Chapter 320:191 Passed Trial_2
After all, the small town in front of him was the key to Dean McKenzie¡¯s promotion trial, so he had to protect it at all costs.
This promotion was extremely important to Dean McKenzie, and he had to ensure its absolute sess. Even the slightest possibility of failure had to be nipped in the bud.
As a result, an unprecedented situation appeared in Dean McKenzie¡¯s trial.
The small town Dean McKenzie was protecting, rather than copsing under the waves of monsters, became even more solid.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeleton legion also saw a surge in numbers amidst the onught of monsters.
In less than two hours, the number of skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand rose from 300 to 3,000.
In contrast, the attacking side was littered with fallen bodies.
After two hours of attack, the attackers couldn¡¯t even get within five hundred meters of Dean McKenzie¡¯s small town.
The waves of monsters attacking shifted their assault directions over and over.
If the ground was imprable, they attacked from the sky, and if that failed, they tried underground.
But all in vain.
The closest they ever got to the small town defended by Dean McKenzie was when a 140.5 level BOSS of extraordinary quality emerged.
The BOSS tried to bypass the ¡°Rain of Frost Arrows¡± by traveling from underground, heading straight for the city heart of the small town.
But before it could even approach the small town, Doggy Three howled, and it appeared from the ground. Under the concentrated fire, the 140.5 level BOSS of extraordinary quality was instantly obliterated.
With this boss¡¯s downfall, the once bustling Land of Trials instantly fell silent.
This made Dean McKenzie realize something.
¡°It seems this one is the final boss of this trial wave. If nothing goes wrong, my trial is about to end!¡± Dean McKenzie said as he hurriedly got to work.
Who knew how long he could stay in the Land of Trials after the trial waspleted?
Dean McKenzie was quick to use an ¡°Extraction¡± on the 140.5-level extraordinary boss!
¡°You sessfully used Extraction, you gained 2500 attribute points, and obtained a fragment of an Extraordinary Temte!¡±
¡°You¡¯vebined to form an ¡®Extraordinary Temte¡¯!¡±
¡°You spent five purple gold coins to grant yourself the Mental Attribute ¡®Extraordinary Temte¡¯!¡±
Considering an extraordinary quality boss had appeared, Dean McKenzie took advantage of still not having achieved his promotion to maximize his attribute upgrade.
¡°Your Mental Attribute Temte has been upgraded to ¡®Extraordinary¡¯, and your mental attributes have increased by 10 percent!¡±
¡°Your Spiritual Power limit has risen to 784,819!¡±
¡°Your mental trait ¡®Mental Fortitude¡¯ has been upgraded to A-grade!¡±
Trait: Mental Fortitude (A-grade): Defend against mental attacks below five times your fixed spiritual power. Those exceeding this value will have their effects reduced by 80 percent.
PS: This trait ignores mental attacks exceeding 20 times your spiritual power limit or attacks with A-grade traits or above!
Active activation can lift mental control status.
¡°You spent 1440 gold coins to grant yourself 28,800 mental attribute points, your mental attribute limit has increased to 813,619.¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s spiritual power soared to the terrifying level of 813,000.
This figure was simply prior to his promotion. Once Dean McKenzie¡¯s promotion was fullypleted, his spiritual power would increase tenfold, reaching 8.13 million.
Dean McKenzie was already preparing himself to wee his staggering attribute increase.
He was even considering, after the promotion waspleted, trying out the strength of the seven-turn level.
However, just as Dean McKenzie was prepared to embrace his glorious transformation, the system alert refreshed itself at that moment.
¡°Attention, someone has used a ¡®Trial Difficulty Upgrade Command¡¯, your trial difficulty has been upgraded!¡±
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
This sudden system prompt left Dean McKenzie stunned.
He had gone through so many promotions and this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Dean McKenzie was puzzled, ¡°Can people use items in others¡¯ promotions?¡±
Dean McKenzie was genuinely surprised.
Didn¡¯t Anthony help him gather the materials for his one-turn promotion?
Therefore, trials in the Promotion Temple are not untouchable for adventurers.
It¡¯s just that the interference is difficult.
Also, the trial difficulty can only be increased, not decreased.
Of course, whether Dean McKenzie knew about this at this point didn¡¯t really matter, since the difficulty of the trial had already increased.
¡°Since your trial difficulty is already ¡®Abyss¡¯ level, it is temporarily impossible to further increase the vertical difficulty of the trial, so this time the horizontal difficulty will be increased!¡±
¡°Your trial difficulty has been adjusted to six-turn ¡®Abyss¡¯ mode!¡±
¡°Your trial mode has been changed from defending the small town to surviving for 30 minutes!¡±
¡°Is this even possible?¡±
Dean McKenzie was dumbfounded and his face instantly turned grave.
¡°This is going to be a bit difficult now!¡±
With Dean McKenzie¡¯s current strength, he was invincible below the seven-turn level, and since he was currently at fifth-turn, he could easily y around with fifth-turn trials.
But if it escted to the six-turn, especially six-turn abyss mode, Dean McKenzie was starting to panic.
Because this kind of esction could potentially result in his opponent being at the seven-turn level!
¡°No, it¡¯s not a possibility anymore. It¡¯s a hundred percent certainty, and they¡¯ve already shown up!¡±
Dean McKenzie has already sensed something.
Almost at the same time, a loud thunder cracked.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze then concentrated on the heap of bodies across from him, corpses of near two ten thousand monsters that he had ughtered for two hours but hadn¡¯t had the chance to extract from..
Chapter 321:191 Passed Trial_3
Chapter 321:191 Passed Trial_3
Where Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes met, hundreds of thousands of corpses disintegrated one by one, transforming into streaks of light that gathered above the pile of bodies.
In no time, a three-meter-tall figure appeared in the sky, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s appraisal skill was cast upon its emergence.
Name: Goblin Hero Crawled Out of the Corpse Mountain
Temte: Rare
Level: 141
Trait: Tears of Blood (C) (Passively absorbs the enemy¡¯s blood to restore one¡¯s wounds and strength, absorption efficiency is eighty percent)
Advanced (Special) (Damage dealt to advanced or below entities is multiplied by a thousand, damage dealt by advanced or below entities is decreased by ny-five percent, the effects of skills from advanced or below are decreased by ny percent)
Attributes:
Strength: 6.7 million, Agility: 3.4 million, Physique: 6.7 million, Spirit: 20 thousand
Attack: 134 million
Defense: 134 million
Equipment: Blood Set (Level 141) (Gold Quality)
Skill: ???
Exnation: It¡¯s at the entry-level of the seven-turn, however, even an entry-level seven-turn entity is a formidable opponent for entities at the six-turn level!
Weak Spot: 0.3 centimeters to the left of the heart.
Upon seeing this entity, Dean McKenzie, for the first time, fully perceived its power.
Under the influence of the Advanced Trait, its 1.3 billion attack immediately turned into 13 billion, and its 1.3 billion defense also transformed into 13 billion. This mere number of attack and defense alone could invoke a sense of despair! ¡°Pff!¡±
Almost the moment Dean McKenzie detected his opponent, the enemy¡¯s agility of 3.4 million burst forth.
Agility shouldn¡¯t simply be measured as speed. Yet a speed that could reach a terrifying level due to 340 Agility has already exploded.
In an instant, the Goblin had already arrived in front of Dean McKenzie, the bloodied greatsword in hand sweeping down towards Dean¡¯s body.
With the tremendous force of 6.7 million and the bursting attack of 134 million. The light from Dean McKenzie¡¯s Guardian Shield began to shine bright. System notifications were also refreshed in front of Dean¡¯s eyes in an instant. [The Guardian Shield of your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) is activated, the legendary trait: Damage Reduction bes effective!]
This system notification greatly relieved Dean McKenzie, this meant that the enemy¡¯s 13.4 billion attack on his body only left damage in the tens of millions. ¡°Pff!¡±
Dean McKenzie was plunged underground during that exchange of blows but came away with not a single injury on him.
¡°The Guardian Shield is amazing!¡±
A smile finally appeared on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
Ensured of his absolute safety, Dean finally found the courage to fight his opponent.
¡°Stand still for me!¡±
Along with Dean McKenzie¡¯s roar, his skill, the Slow Curse, was activated. [You have used Slow Curse (Triple-Strength) (Level 12) on the Goblin Hero Crawled Out of the Corpse Mountain. The difference in power is too great; the skill effect has been reduced to only one-tenth of the original!]
Only one-tenth, but that was enough to achieve the effect that Dean desired! After all, the Slow Curse was one of the main skills that Dean had been focusing on enhancing previously, and its effect had undergone a transformative increase over time.
Skill: Slow Curse (Triple Enhancement)
Level: 12 (3,211/21 million)
Skill Cost: 3 million Spirit Power
Skill Effect: Curses the target, reduces their speed by six hundred percent for 120 seconds
Skill Trait: On-Site Punishment (Extraordinary) (Level 6) (Skill activation allows the target to stand still for 10 seconds)
The Slow Curse caused the Goblin to stand still on the spot for one full second! That one second was enough for Dean and his team to do a lot of things. Old Eight instantly appeared behind it, took out the Evil Dragon Corpse Poison that was immune to Advanced Traits, and poisoned his two daggers. He then initiated Forced Decapitation, slicing across its neck.
Old Seven¡¯s Fearless Charge wasunched, thrusting into the enemy, nailing it on the ground hundreds of meters away.
At the same time, the most important thing was Old Nine ¨C he quickly took out the Evil Dragon Tusk Arrow, drew his bow, and initiated the level 15 Death Arrow.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) used Death Arrow (Triple Strength) (Level !5), triggered a Lucky Strike, the current attack is multiplied by 33!]
Skill: Death Arrow (Four-turn) (Triple Enhancement)
Level: 15 (Sublimation) (Grey)
Consumption: 7.2 million Spirit Power
Effect: Inflicts damage on the target that equals the sum of Strength, Agility, and Attack, multiplied by 52, plus 211 million.
Has a one in a hundred chance of triggering instant death effect (Perfect). Trait: Armor Break (Extraordinary) (Level 3) (Skill damage includes seventy- five percent armor break)
Equipment: Evil Dragon Tusk Arrow
Quality: Gold
Level: 140
Remaining Arrows: 10/10
Effect 1: Base damage increased by five hundred percent
Effect 2: Skill Damage increased by two hundred percent
Effect 3: Can prate defenses of Traits and Skills below Extraordinary quality
ps: Consumables, discarded after usage
A consumable equipment of 140 Levels in Golden Quality,bined with a level 15 Four-turn skill at its peak.
Leaving everything else aside, the terrifying damage value alone is just the added 2.21 billion skill multiplied by 33.
Furthermore, the boss was infected with Old Eight¡¯s Evil Dragon Corpse Poison, which temporarily disabled its Advanced Traits. This arrow swept out and instantly prated this boss!
Dean McKenzie, still worrying that the output was not enough, activated his Flight Skill, grabbed the Goblin whose body had been pierced through, sprinted for more than three thousand meters before dragging out a six-turn corpse. He brought out Lich King¡¯s Wrath from his hand, activated the Wrath of the Lich King, and immediatelyunched a level 19 Corpse Explosion with one hand.
He tightly grasped the Goblin with his other hand.
Dean McKenzie bet everything he got on this.
He gambled that his Guardian Shield¡¯s defense would exceed the opponent¡¯s defense.
And the result, naturally, was a win for Dean McKenzie, who possessed legendary Traits.
Following a resounding ¡°boom¡±.
With the aid of his Guardian Shield, Dean was blown thousands of meters away leaving the unfortunate seven-turn Goblin obliterated in an explosion that emitted a dazzling light.
At the same time, a system notification shed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, who was being sent flying.
[You sessfully killed the Goblin Hero Crawled Out of the Corpse Mountain and passed this trial sessfully!]
In the next second, a grey light filled with the Power of Death fell upon Dean McKenzie¡¯s body¡
Chapter 322:192 Bone Catastrophe Mage
Chapter 322:192 Bone Catastrophe Mage
In the Giant Bear Tribe, at the location of the Promotion Temple.
Yorick Meyer¡¯s face turned as pale as a sheet. He stared in terror at the Promotion Temple.
Next to him, the tower-like Bear Barry was also fixated on the Promotion Temple.
As he looked at the shimmering, blood-red light on the Temple, Barry¡¯s face uncannily disyed unprecedented solemnity.
He had never seen a promotion light of this color before.
But one thing was certain: it was definitely the glow of a mode, even higher-grade than the Abyss Mode.
Meaning, the young man inside had cleared a mode even more terrifying than the Abyss.
How could Bear Barry not be taken aback?
After all, he had barely survived passing through Hell Mode.
The Abyss Mode wasn¡¯t even something he dared to consider.
But now, someone had cleared a mode beyond the Abyss right before him.
Bear Barry had no doubt that, as long as this being could survive,
Ascending to the seventh-turn¡ªa leap akin to ascending to the heavens for them¡ªwould be a mere wave of a hand for him.
Even the eighth or ninth turn might not be able to stop him.
How can they not be terrified of offending such a being?
¡°He must be killed, he must be killed. He can¡¯t be allowed to keep growing. If not, the Giant Bear Tribe will be doomed!
Certainly, the Giant Bear Tribe will be doomed!¡±
Unable to bear the terror in his heart any longer at the sight of that deep-red light, Yorick Meyer roared continuously.
As Yorick Meyer roared, Bear Barry gritted his teeth, making a significant decision.
Elsewhere, within the Land of Trials.
[Your level has been upgraded after passing the six-turn trial. Your current level is 121, and an additional Grant Quota increases by 1!]
[By passing the six-turn Abyss Mode Trial, all your attribute points increase twentyfold!]
[You have acquired an opportunity to sublimate a maxed-out skill!] (Make a choice within 10 days)
[Your item [Professional Upgrade Trial Order] is effective. Your profession has been upgraded to [Bone Catastrophe Mage], an additional Grant Quota increased by 1!]
[Your profession has been upgraded to the (Extraordinary) temte, increasing your professional traits to A-grade!]
Bone Control (A-grade): Increase the power of bone skills by 500% and acquire 500% more proficiency in bone skills
Amid the consecutive system prompts and under the illumination of a column of grey light, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes board received an explosive upgrade!
He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed, but when the grey light surrounding Dean McKenzie finally faded, he found himself filled with power from head to toe.
It was as if he could tear the heavens and earth apart with a light wave of his hand.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but open his attribute panel, which revealed an awe-inspiring set of attributes.
Name: Dean McKenzie
Profession: Bone Catastrophe Mage (Extraordinary)
Talent: Extraction (5 Level) (50 million/50 million) (Excellent Talent Stone: 1/3)
Level: 121
Trait: Mental Fortitude (A), Bone Control (A)
Dragon n Talent (B), Swift as Wind (B), Enhanced Strength (B), Enhanced Physique (B)
Holy Light Resistance(C)
Strength: 8.22 million, Agility: 10.66 million, Physique: 9.96 million, Spirit:
15.68 million
Magic Strength:i44.20 million
Mana: 703.96 million
Additional Grant Quotas: 8
The four-dimensional attributes, with even the worst being Strength, had skyrocketed to a height of 8.22 million!
More terrifying than the 7-turn boss he had just fought!
Meanwhile, his Magic Strength had reached a horrifying level of 144.20 million.
Who dared to im invincibility in front of Dean McKenzie with these attributes?
With such a horrific set of attributes, Dean McKenzie was confident to confront even those at the seventh turn. At least against that Goblin from before, he was confident he could defeat it alone.
¡°I finally have the means to confront the seventh turn!¡±
Although his strength received an epic-level enhancement,
Dean McKenzie did not n to leave the Promotion Temple just yet.
After all, he could still be even more powerful!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze then fell on an award he had received.
[Designate a maxed-out skill to receive a sublimation opportunity]!
This award, along with the twentyfold attribute increase, was the real reward for Dean McKenzie¡¯s ultra-difficult trial.
The difficulty of this trial was indeed high, but the rewards were equally staggering.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze almost instinctivelynded on the [Summon Skeleton] skill that was already at level 15.
A maxed-out [Summon Skeleton] at level 15 could summon skeletons up to level 135. If he applied the sublimation opportunity to [Summon Skeleton], there was a chance that Doggy Two and the others could reach level 141 and above.
But it wasn¡¯t certain!
So, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze then fell on [Summon Corpses].
This skill was currently only at level 5!
¡°If I fuse [Summon Corpses] with [Summon Skeleton], how much can the resultant skill be sublimated to, and how many levels will it be left with?¡±
For Dean McKenzie, the ideal result would be these two skills merging into a maxed-out skill that could break through the sixth turn.
Then, Dean McKenzie could use this skill sublimation opportunity on the fused skill.
Alternatively, he could first sublimate [Summon Skeleton], then fuse the sublimated skill with [Summon Corpses].
That way, he could make the [Summon Skeleton] skill more potent in one fell swoop.
Who knows, maybe he could upgrade his Wraith Army to the seventh-turn level in a single go..
Chapter 323:192 Bone Catastrophe Mage_2
Chapter 323:192 Bone Catastrophe Mage_2
With this, mybat strength could wee a truly epic level enhancement!
With a wave of my hand, a screen full of seventh-change Skeleton minions, are you scared yet?
¡°I just don¡¯t know if I can reach the seventh-change standard after sublimating, and whether ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ and ¡®Bone Calling¡¯ can still bebined after sublimation?¡±
Dean McKenzie was a bit hesitant because the current skill was his core one.
If this skill was messed up, Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t even have a ce to cry.
But after hesitating again and again, Dean McKenzie finally decided to take a gamble.
¡°Let¡¯s give it a try and see the effect of sublimation.
¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ is just a basic skill, it shouldn¡¯t be too outrageous after sublimation, as long as it¡¯s a six-turn or lower skill, it can bebined with ¡®Bone Calling¡¯.
And if it gets to the seventh-change and above, the skeleton that can be summoned should also have reached the seventh-change and above.
There¡¯s no disadvantage in it. Let¡¯s do this!¡±
After careful consideration by Dean himself, once he was sure there was no problem, he gritted his teeth and directly used the opportunity for sublimation on ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯.
[You have used this designated skill sublimation opportunity, the target for sublimation is ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯!]
[Your skill ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ haspleted sublimation!]
As soon as the system prompt refreshed, Dean McKenzie immediately opened the attributes of ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ after sublimation.
Skill: Summon Skeleton (Sublimation)
Skill Level: Level 1 (0/10 million)
Chant: Servant of the Undying Bone, exploring the true meaning of death
Basic Abilities:
Summoning: Summon 1 level 135 undead creature of the Bone series
Temte Upgrade: Can consume temtes to directly upgrade the Skeleton temte of the Bone series.
Simultaneous Existence: 200/200
Mana Consumption: 50000
Special Attributes: Bone Sublimation (Level 1) (Special) (Can activate Bone Sublimation, your Skeletons will undergo 10 enhancements.
The current level can activate 6/10 times)
Bone Rebirth (Level 1) (Perfect) (This trait merges with the Land of Bone, once activated, there¡¯s a chance to resurrect bodies entering the Land of Bone as skeletons!
ps: Bodies resurrected in the Land of Bone cannot exceed 500 meters beyond the boundary.
pss: This can also be used outside the Land of Bone, but the sess rate will sharply decrease and the level of strength of the skeleton resurrected by Resurrection Fire will only be one tenth of what they were in their previous life.
psss: Perfect quality and lower skeletons can be resurrected for free.)
Seeing these skill attributes, Dean Graham couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.
These attributes are exactly the attributes of ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ at level 15!
¡°So the so-called skill sublimation is just resetting the skill level while retaining the skill effect?¡±
This result was somewhat unexpected for Dean McKenzie, but he was still satisfied with the oue.
¡°It¡¯s not a loss, at least it has increased the potential of ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯, and after sublimating, ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ and ¡®Bone Calling¡¯ can still bebined!¡±
Next, as long as I can quickly raise the level of ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯, there¡¯s hope to raise the level of Doggy Two and the others to above 141, allowing my strength to achieve a true leap.
Meanwhile, when Dean McKenziepleted the sublimation of ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯, a force of exclusion also acted on him.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
[Your trial challenge has ended, you will leave the Land of Trials in three seconds!]
Almost as soon as the system prompt refreshed, Dean McKenzie was enveloped by the expelling force.
Dean McKenzie quickly nced in the direction where that Goblin boss had just been.
Whatforted Dean was that Old Eight was there.
Obviously, Old Eight, who was responsible, had already properly stored the boss¡¯s corpse and the things it had dropped.
Then it¡¯s alright, then I can leave in peace!
The power of expulsion erupted, and Dean McKenzie waspletely driven out of the Land of Trials.
Exiting from the Land of Trials, Dean McKenzie appeared inside the Promotion Temple.
Uponnding, Dean McKenzie immediately opened a gap in the Gate of Bone, while Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield activated and first cloaked Dean McKenzie himself.
After all, Dean McKenzie had not forgotten that he was on someone else¡¯s turf right now, safety first!
At the same time Dean McKenzie¡¯s Guardian Shield was active, the main gate of the Promotion Temple was pushed open.
Obviously, the people outside already knew that Dean hadpleted his trial.
Seeing the pushed open main gate, Dean McKenzie focused, prepared for a fight against a seventh-change strongman, prepared to run if he couldn¡¯t win.
But the development that followed was somewhat unexpected for Dean McKenzie.
As soon as the Promotion Temple was opened, the tower-like figure of Bear Barry rushed in, knelt down in front of Dean McKenzie.
¡°There¡¯s a misunderstanding, sir, a big misunderstanding!¡±
Bear Barry pleaded innocent first, yelling about a misunderstanding.
At the same time, he threw the dying Yorick Meyer in front of Dean: ¡°Sir, it¡¯s all this old viin¡¯s fault. This old viin took advantage of my absence, caused trouble in the Giant Bear Tribe, and offended you. He¡¯smitted heinous crimes and deserves to die. Now I present him to you for your disposal!¡±
With Bear Barry pulling this move, Dean McKenzie was directly stunned.
Dean couldn¡¯t help but be stunned!
The change in their attitude was really too big, how arrogant was he just a moment ago when he hade out?
Then in the time it took for Dean toplete his trial, the other¡¯s attitude took aplete 180-degree turn.
Without saying another word, they bowed their heads in submission, their flexibility far exceeding Dean¡¯s expectations,pletelycking the dignity a seventh-change strongman should have..
Chapter 324:192 Bone Catastrophe Mage_3
Chapter 324:192 Bone Catastrophe Mage_3
Be flexible, but it¡¯s pointless!
Dean McKenzie gave a faint smile, activated his Flight Skill, and prepared to evade the other party before making a move.
However, just as Dean started moving, Bear Barry, who had just been kneeling, stood up like a steel tower in front of the gate,pletely blocking it!
You can¡¯t pretend anymore?
Dean squinted his eyes, preparing to fight with the other party.
But the other party quickly took some things out and said, ¡°Sir, you might not believe me, but Bear Barry really wants to clear up any misunderstandings with you.
In your Alliance¡¯s words, it¡¯s turning hostility into friendship!
After all, you¡¯re a genius who can pass through any mode above the Abyss, a being who is truly dazzling. I don¡¯t want to be your mortal enemy just because of a little misunderstanding this old thief caused!
These things are a sincere apology and gift from our Giant Bear Tribe!¡±
Listening to the other party, Dean¡¯s eyes inevitably fell on the objects in the other party¡¯s hands.
At a nce, Dean was once again shocked by Bear Barry.
What a huge move the other party made.
What he took out wasn¡¯t much, but each item was the best among the best.
[Instance Reward Doubler] (After use, you can get double the instance rewards)
[Mysterious Treasure Map-Instance] (Use inside an instance for a clue to an instance¡¯s mysterious treasure)
[Ancient Secret Treasure Instance Scroll] (A level-121 trial instance, if sessful, there¡¯s a chance to get Epic, or even better, temte rewards) [Equipment Upgrade Order (tinum) (Level 140)] (Can upgrade a piece of
Golden Equipment to tinum Quality, and elevate its level to 140)
These were the four items Bear Barry took out.
Without a doubt, Bear Barry had made a huge loss, with such great sincerity to turn hostility into friendship with Dean McKenzie.
¡°This is a small token from our Giant Bear Tribe, please ept it!¡±
Bear Barry said, leaving the items on the ground, and respectfully made way for Dean McKenzie.
Dean nced at the other party, stepped forward, and picked up everything from the ground.
During the process, Dean purposely slowed down, showing his back to them, giving the other party ample opportunity to attack.
But the other party did not attack.
They were very calm and honest.
Moreover, when Dean left with the items, Bear Barry pulled out Yorick Meyer and beat him up.
In short, Bear Barry showed his biggest sincerity.
He sincerely wanted to resolve the conflict with Dean.
This is understandable, after all, although he has the strength of the
Seven-turn, he has no confidence in whether he can defeat Dean.
Even if he was set up in the Promotion Temple, it might not be possible to achieve a seizing victory.
If he failed to kill Dean, then Bear Barry and the Giant Bear Tribe would basically be setting themselves on the path to defeat.
Considering Dean¡¯s dreadful strength, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising if he sought revenge on Bear Barry after hepleted his majestic Seven-turn transformation a monthter.
The sess rate is low, the risk is too high!
It¡¯s understandable why Bear Barry has given up.
Of course, his current approach is not safe either.
After all, he can¡¯t be sure if Dean will really reconcile with their Giant Bear
Tribe after getting those items.
However, Bear Barry had no choice, this attempt at least carries less risk than attacking Dean.
Watching Dean leave, Bear Barry sighed deeply and returned to the heart of the Giant Bear Tribe.
On the other hand, there was Dean.
Dean, who got the items from Bear Barry, was also unsure about whether Bear Barry truly wanted to reconcile with himself or nned to betray him with these items.
But it no longer mattered.
Although Dean might not be able to beat Bear Barry for now, once thetter lets him go, Dean believes that he wouldn¡¯t need more than three moves to defeat him the next time they meet.
After all, being a cheater, Dean was very confident in his growth of strength. Therefore, regardless of what Bear Barry¡¯s intention was, Dean dismissed it all. Only one thing concerned Dean at the moment, and that was Carl¡¯s Trial at the Giant Bull Tribe.
To distract the Giant Bear for Dean, Carl has started the Seven-turn Trial.
As a few hours had passed, Dean was starting to worry about the situation there.
Despite Dean¡¯s instructions to Carl that he should immediately surrender and give up the Trial if the situation turns bad,
Carl agreed readily.
But Dean reckoned, considering Carl¡¯s character, once the fight gets going, he wouldn¡¯t quit.
And that¡¯s exactly what happened!
When Dean returned to the Giant Bull Tribe from the Giant Bear Tribe, Carl¡¯s Trial was still ongoing.
Three-quarters of the Giant Bull Tribe had been upied and thousands of people had died, but Carl showed no signs of giving up.
No, it can¡¯t be said that Carl didn¡¯t want to give up, it should be said that the entire Giant Bull Tribe had no intention of giving up.
The entire tribe was on their edge, they were all eyes wide open, fiercely attacking the enemy that already controlled three-quarters of their territory. Their courage was quitemendable.
But the problem was that the strengths of the two sides were not equal!
Dean took a look, there were tens of thousands of monsters in the Trial¡¯s army, and even the weakest of them were at least at the Fourth-turn.
Whereas the Giant Bull Tribe had less than a few thousand remaining.
And the number was continuously decreasing.
Even an idiot should be able to see, in the current situation, there¡¯s no chance for victory. But Carl still had no ns to give up.
¡°No, he must have forgotten to surrender and also forgotten that this is a Trial.
In his eyes, this is an invasion. If he surrendered, he wouldn¡¯t only lose but would also be letting down his tribesmen who died because of his trial.
Based on his character, I reckon he won¡¯t give up until the end!¡±
Dean said, sighing deeply as he descended towards the Giant Bull Tribe.
At the same time as Dean descended, the system alert refreshed.
[Warning! Warning! You are stepping into the Trial scene. Once entered, the difficulty of this Trial will be increased by at least one level, and you won¡¯t be able to leave until the trial ends!]
Dean outright ignored this warning and stepped in¡.
Chapter 325:193 Doggy Two Wakes Up
Chapter 325:193 Doggy Two Wakes Up
[You have interfered with someone else¡¯s Promotion Trial. The difficulty of this Promotion Trial has been escted to[Difficult Level]!]
This system prompt refreshed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
The tide of monsters that had been attacking the Giant Bull Tribe like mad suddenly halted, then began to retreat backward like a receding tide.
This confused the members of the Giant Bull Tribe.
Right after, deafening roars and cheerings echoed across the entire Giant Bull Tribe.
¡°The Giant Bull Tribe is invincible, Carl the Chief is invincible!¡±
¡°The Giant Bull Tribe is invincible, Carl the Chief is invincible!¡±
Among the roars expressing the delight of the Gigantic Bull Tribe¡¯s members, Carl was dumbfounded: ¡°Did I¡ win? There was no system prompt!¡±
But the enemies are retreating, so I should have won, right?
Should I start the Seven-turn next?
Should I pose in a more dominant manner?¡±
While these thoughts ran through Carl¡¯s mind, the next second, a booming noise echoed.
A group of monsters appeared again over the horizon, within the area where the previous wave of monsters had just retreated.
And this time, the strength and number of this group of monsters weren¡¯t any weakerpared to the wave that just retreated!
Carl even saw an incredibly frightening existence among the new wave of monsters, releasing an astonishing aura from top to bottom.
Seeing another wave of monsters attacking, the cheers of the Giant Bull Tribe abruptly stopped, as if a pause button had been hit.
Even though the members of the Giant Bull Tribe were inherently brutal, at this moment, they could feel the heavy presence of death closing in.
Despair gradually emerged on everyone¡¯s face.
Even Carl, when he saw the boss that was clearly at Seven-turn Level, felt endless helplessness.
He knew he would lose this wave!
However, because the monsters had retreated once before, Carl was able to cool his mind.
Seeing the seemingly hopeless situation in front of him and the heavily damaged Giant Bull Tribe, Carl finally gritted his teeth, took out the surrender button he had already pressed, and was about to press it when¡
Just then, a massive meteorite fell from the sky, crashing into the group of monsters that had just emerged.
¡°Boom!¡±
A deafening explosion rang out, and a terrifying force rippled out like a wave.
In an instant, the majority of the monsters that had just emerged was wiped out.
Another Bone Fang fell and the head of the Seven-turn BOSS instantly shattered.
Then, Carl¡¯s system prompt was refreshed.
[You have sessfully passed the[Difficult Mode]Trial, your Level has risen to 141!]
Afterward, Carl was entirely engulfed in a golden light.
From within that light, it seemed like a chunky pipe was connecting to him, then a vast amount of energy was used to supply Carl¡¯s body.
Amidst the tremendous energy, Carl let out a howl, his body going through a transformation during the howling.
As Carl was transforming, an astonishing aura rose to the skies.
Bear Barry, another Seven-turn presence located in the Giant Bear Tribe, sensed the aura immediately.
Upon feeling this aura, Bear Barry had an incrediblyplicated expression on his face.
¡°Did that Carl, with the help of that youngster, achieve the Seven-turn?
I made the right choice this time, the fighting power of that youngster after his promotion definitely made him a Seven-turn.
If I had attacked him earlier, the chances of sess were less than thirty percent. If I let him escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡±
Bear Barry undoubtedly preferred the current results more than attacking Dean McKenzie unsessfully and letting him run away.
At the same time, he was somewhat envious of Carl for holding on to such a big thigh.
After all, it¡¯s not everyone¡¯s turf to help someone pass the trial.
If someone else interferes, the difficulty would be increased based on the level of the intruder.
If Dean McKenzie and Carl were at the same level, the difficulty would have increased by at least two levels. If Dean was higher in level than Carl, the difficulty would directly max out, and there might even be a chance where the Seven-turn Trial would turn into an eighth-turn Trial.
It was precisely because Dean McKenzie¡¯s level was lower than Carl¡¯s, but his actual fighting power was far superior to Carl¡¯s, that such results could be achieved.
And if Carl can hold on to Dean McKenzie¡¯s big thigh, he might smoothly ascend to the eighth-turn and even the ninth-turn.
Bear Barry was envious, why didn¡¯t he get to hold on to such a great big thigh!
After all, he was unable to break through the eighth-turn himself, being nailed deep into the tribe and not daring toe out alive.
¡°Ah, if I could hold on to that kid¡¯s big thigh, there might be hope for my eighth-turn!¡±
With a sigh, Bear Barry¡¯s expression became determined again: ¡°No, it¡¯s not ¡®if.¡¯ It must be!
This leg, I, Bear Barry, have decided to hold on!
Get someone to bring me Mr. Hodge¡¯s detailed information!¡±
Dean McKenzie was unaware that someone was nning totch onto his big thigh. At this moment, Dean¡¯s attention was on Carl, who was undergoing the breakthrough process next to him.
This was the first time Dean saw someone breaking through the Seven-turn, so he was quite curious.
For this, Dean even used the Appraisal Skill.
Under the observation of the Appraisal Skill, Carl¡¯s Attribute points soared crazily..
Chapter 326:193 Doggy Two Wakes Up_2
Chapter 326:193 Doggy Two Wakes Up_2
The speed of the surge was swift and the amount of increase was immense. In no time, the increase in Carl¡¯s overall stat attributes had reached tenfold and showed no signs of stopping.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp at this.
¡°A tenfold attribute increase and still not stopping, is it aiming for a twentyfold increase?
If the hard mode equals a twentyfold attribute increment, then what about hell mode and abyss mode?
It seems that the gap between individuals above seven-turn could be evenrger than the gap between humans and dogs!
At that moment, Dean McKenzie, having just achieved a six-turn with thebat power to fight against seven-turn and who had even just killed a seven-turn creature, felt his initially bloated confidence shrink in a blink.
¡°I must not be delusional, some seven-turn creatures could potentially obliterate me effortlessly!
Well originally I wanted to immediately enter the goblin instance, but it seems better to y it safe, wait until I can enhance my ¡®Summon Skeleton¡¯ skill enough to help Doggy Two and the others reach the seven-turn standard!¡± As Dean McKenzie spoke, he shifted his gaze from Carl andnded it upon Old Eight who was now leaning towards him, swaying an invisible tail.
Old Eight held out six glittering points as if presenting treasures.
Of these six points, three were from the goblin boss in the Land of Trials and the other three were from the seven-turn boss they had just defeated.
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t hesitate to open the points on the spot.
[You have opened six points and received 10,000 purple gold coins, ¡®Army Horn¡¯ equipment, ¡®Holy Sword of the Goblins¡¯, and the Instance Scroll ¡®Abyss¡¯.]
Item: Army Horn
Category: Army Items
Description: Can increase the army¡¯s base attack damage by three hundred percent and armor break damage by thirty percent upon use.
Note: There is a limit, the maximum increase for a single entity is three million.
Equipment: Holy Sword of the Goblins
Quality: tinum
Equipment Requirement: Goblin
Description: This is a holy sword that is imbued with the power of the goblin tribe.
Instance Scroll: Abyss
Suggested Level for Challenge: Level 141
Description: Once you activate this scroll, you will embark on a journey to the abyss.
Warning: Those without sufficient strength should not touch it.
Of the three items, Dean McKenzie could only use the ¡®Army Horn¡¯ for now, as he didn¡¯t meet the level requirements for the remaining two instance scrolls.
As for the Holy Sword, he wasn¡¯t the correct race to use it.
However, it wasn¡¯t a big problem because though Dean McKenzie himself wasn¡¯t a goblin, he did have goblins under hismand.
¡°When I enter the goblin instanceter, I will give this to Strong Grass!¡± After all, thanks to it, Dean McKenzie was able to obtain an SS-level reward evaluationst time, hence, he felt it was right to give it a reward.
While Dean McKenzie was counting his spoils of war, Carlpleted his transformation.
As soon as Carl finished this breakthrough, he began to roar ecstatically.
¡°Hahaha, such tremendous strength, if I die now, I can certainly be number one in our tombs, right?¡±
A dark line creased across Dean McKenzie¡¯s forehead.
This bull, its thought process was definitely out of the ordinary.
¡°Why don¡¯t you die now and check?¡±
Dean McKenzie offered a genuine suggestion, to which Carl immediately shook his head, ¡°No no, I am not that stupid!
If I die now, wouldn¡¯t there be no room for growth?
I feel like I can still progress!
I am determined to take first ce!
I want to be the man who ranks first in the tombs!
Well, verymendable. It was ambitious and vigorous, it was just that the goal was a bit crazy.
Dean McKenzie felt that ever since Old Six started ranking the tombstones in the Giant Bull Tribe, the tribe, which was alreadyrgely indifferent to life and death began to adopt an even more cavalier attitude towards it, even demonstrating a somewhat deep-seated fixation for explosive death.
The most direct evidence of this was that although these trials took about half the lives of the tribe¡¯s members, there was no heavy mncholic atmosphere following the battle, only joy.
They celebrated for Carl¡¯s achievement of a seven-turn and for their tribesmen dying a glorious death.
They even started a feast right away to celebrate Carl¡¯s seven-turn transition and to specte on the rankings of their deceasedpatriots in the cemetery.
They expressed their discontent for those who ranked higher and mocked those who ranked lower.
If we¡¯re being honest, Dean McKenzie was not ustomed to nor fond of this atmosphere.
After all, to him, the concept of ¡°respect for the deceased¡± was deeply ingrained. In the world where he came from before he traveled across dimensions, death was always a solemn topic.
Dean McKenzie was unustomed to the Giant Bull Tribe¡¯s flippant and even frivolous attitude towards death.
Yet he didn¡¯t express his thoughts.
Because they¡¯re not only being frivolous about others¡¯ deaths but also their
own.
After the feast at the Giant Bull Tribe had ended,
Carl, in his momentary enthusiasm, came to look for Dean McKenzie early the next morning.
¡°Sir, let¡¯s go clear an instance!
NOW that I¡¯m a seven-turn, I feel invincible. I can clear that instance now.
This time, I¡¯ll carry you to victory!¡±
The seven-turn Carl, who probably got drunk yesterday and wasn¡¯t sober yet, was exceedingly arrogant, iming that he could carry Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie nced at his attributes and responded with a particrly polite smile.
However, he didn¡¯t refuse Carl¡¯s request to clear the instance this time.
Dean McKenzie also wanted to gauge the capabilities of the Giant Bull Tribe in this instance challenge.
So, Dean McKenzie apanied Carl to the Giant Bull Tribe¡¯s totem pir. As his gaze swept over the totem pir of the Giant Bull Tribe, its attributes appeared before his eyes.
Name: Giant Bull Inheritance Totem
Category: Secret Realm Inheritance Items
Description: Giant Bull lineage professions can activate by spending 1,000 gold coins to initiate a Giant Bull Inheritance Trial. Those whoplete the trial can acquire the Giant Bull inheritance which includes, but is not limited to, the ¡®Giant Bull¡¯s Power¡¯..

pss: When initiating the fusion trial, you will undoubtedly face a seventh-turn Extraordinary level opponent, with a fifty percent chance of encountering a seventh-turn Legendary level opponent!
Looking at the attribute¡¯s introduction unfolding before him, Dean McKenzie squints his eyes.
¡°Well, Carl, maybe we should just give up!
I think this dungeon is a little tough!¡±
Upon seeing this attribute introduction, Dean McKenzie quickly internalized the considerable difficulty he might face when trying to conquer this dungeon.
However, the inted Carl reassured that Dean McKenzie¡¯s worries were indeed somewhat redundant.
He was now at the seventh-turn, incredibly powerful!
Fairly stronger than before, he could get his hand on any trivial dungeon!
Dean only needed to be at ease!
Seeing how confident Carl was, Dean decided to go in with him. After all, one can always withdraw from the dungeon if it proves too challenging.
So, Dean and Carl walked into the dungeon.
They both walked in confidently.
Several minutester, Dean and Carl emerged from the dungeon again.
Dean looked as he had before, but Carl couldn¡¯t keep up, his limbs broken irregrly, appearing pitifully dreadful. The vigorous aura he demonstrated after advancing to the seventh turn was utterly destroyed.
He onlysted one round against the boss, nearly died.
If it weren¡¯t for Dean¡¯s rescue operation, Carl would have been pancaked now.
That single round made Carl realize just how terrifying the disparity was between two seventh-turn powers.
For an instant, Carl felt as if his seventh-turn power was fake.
He stood no chance of winning!
Primarily it was because Carl was unlucky and ran into a seventh-turn legendary quality boss.
The power of this was so intense; it wasn¡¯t just Carl; even Deancked the confidence to counter it.
Even so, since he was able to rescue Carl from the boss¡¯s hands, it gave Dean McKenzie a clear acknowledgment of his own abilities.
Dean felt that he couldn¡¯t tap into the totem of the Giant Bull Tribe yet, but as for the one from the Giant Lizard Tribe, he was willing to give it a shot.
So, after dredging Carl out again, Dean McKenzie set off directly heading for the location he had hidden the Giant Lizard Tribe pir heritage.
Not two hours after leaving the Giants Bull Tribe¡¯s heritage dungeon, Dean McKenzie once again entered the heritage dungeon.
¡°You¡¯ve initiated the Giant Lizard Totem Fusion Trial. By passing this trial, you will be able to integrate the Giant Lizard Totem into your Portable Mysterious Realm!¡±
Apanied by the system¡¯s prompt refreshing, a familiar sense of weightlessness came over him, and Dean was already in the dungeon.
The environment of this dungeon was somewhat unexpected for Dean.
As soon as Dean entered the dungeon, he felt a heat wave attack him.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw the dungeon glowing red all over.
Dean discovered that he was actually in a sea of magma.
¡°Is the giant lizard a fire attribute creature?¡±
Dean raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Almost simultaneously, Dean¡¯s Wild Intuition started to tremble.
Danger!
Dean McKenzie instantly opened the Gate of Bone, Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield descended instantly, and at the same time, Dean also had massive Bone Armor appear on his body.
¡°Smack!¡±
Almost at the same time the Bone Armor was formed, a tail engulfed in mes smashed into it, instantly shattering Dean¡¯s Bone Armor and sending him flying off as though he were a baseball.
Protected by the Guardian Shield, the unscathed Dean McKenzie was drawn to give his enemy an Appraisal Skill, checking his opponent¡¯s status.
Upon Dean¡¯s Appraisal Skill, a ludicrously exaggerated attribute board appeared in front of him.
Name: Ancient Giant Lizard Projection
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 16o
Trait: Born in Fire (A-grade) (In the mes, all attributes increase by five hundred percent, skills gain five hundred percent fire damage, capable of absorbing fire to recover physical injuries and restore Mana)
Ancient Giant Lizard¡¯s Power (A) (All attributes increase by one thousand percent, Attack and Defense increase by 100 times,sting for 1 minute, with a cooldown time of one month)
Fire Resistance (B) (The damage caused by fire attributes is reduced by ny percent)
Senior (Special)
Attributes:
Strength: 15 million, Physique: 14. million, Agility: 3 million, Spirit: 1 million
Attack: 300 million
Defense: 280 million
Skill: ???
Weakness: Area under the right forelimb the size of a coin
This attribute panel appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Dean couldn¡¯t help but swallow, elevating the already burning temperature around him even further.
These attributes, they¡¯re ridiculous.
¡°This bloody thing is supposed to be an Extraordinary temte?¡±
¡°Who¡¯s Extraordinary temte has two Extraordinary Traits?¡±
Okay, Dean McKenzie also has two, but can he bepared with the opposite giant lizard?
This was his talent, the result of his hard work, but that thing on the opposite side clearly had an unfair advantage.
For this kind of owning two Extraordinary Traits, and both are transcendental, obviously scarier than the general Extraordinary Traits, Dean McKenzie expressed his dissatisfaction.
At the same time, Dean was almost ready to withdraw immediately.
He had no other choice, his opponent¡¯s strength was far beyond the usual standard, not to mention whether or not he could win, Dean McKenzie was not willing to fight such a tough battle.
Anyway, it¡¯s not that he can¡¯t give up, he¡¯lle backter.
But just as Dean was preparing to leave, inside the Land of Bone, something hiding underyers of bones suddenly trembled.
At the same time, the system¡¯s prompt refreshed in front of Dean¡¯s eyes.
The unexpected prompt that suddenly refreshed, halt Dean¡¯s motion momentarily, distracting part of his attention.
Seizing this opportunity, the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection in front of him swung its tail, causing the magma under Dean to rise and pull him down into the underground magma¡.
Chapter 328:194 Supplementing the Dragon Bone Skeleton Great Lord’s Foundation
Chapter 328:194 Supplementing the Dragon Bone Skeleton Great Lord¡¯s Foundation
Inside the Trial Dungeon of the Ancient Giant Lizard Inheritance.
The projection of the Ancient Giant Lizard knew what it meant to attack during its opponent¡¯s weakness.
Dean McKenzie was pulled into theva, and it erupted immediately.
Its neck stretched out, its mouth opened wide and took a deep breath before its head ducked into theva and sprayed in Dean¡¯s direction.
This spurt shot out terrifying streams of molten mes, reaching Dean¡¯s face in an instant.
As for Dean.
Although he was pulled into theva, thanks to the Guardian Shield, he didn¡¯t suffer any fatal injuries, but everything in front of him was aze.
Before he could even discern East from West, another scorching me rushed towards him.
The shockwave sent him flying hundreds of meters until his back hit the hardva wall, and finally, Dean stopped.
But just as he stopped, he felt a repelling force. The surroundingva parted automatically, and a giant figure appeared in front of him, wasn¡¯t it the projection of the Ancient Giant Lizard?
The moment Dean recognized its opponent, the lizard¡¯s tail had already whipped him.
Fortunately, Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield held strong.
Even after taking that attack, Dean was unharmed.
Unfortunately, the lizard¡¯s tail didn¡¯t cease. It whipped continuously.
The tail whipped so fast that its shadow was invisible. Dean could only feel the continuous strikes on his body. The powerful impact pushed him several dozen to a hundred meters into theva wall.
After being beaten this way, Dean¡¯s rage ignited.
¡°You won¡¯t let me go, huh?
You want to fight, huh?
Then let¡¯s fight!¡±
With a ferocious shout, he activated Summon Skeleton and pulled the skeleton from the Gate of Bone.
¡°Roar!¡±
As soon as the skeleton appeared, Old Seven acted the quickest. Heunched Fearless Charge at the Ancient Giant Lizard projection.
But what about Old Seven¡¯s charge?
He was brave, yes, but it was futile. He hadn¡¯t even approached when the lizard whipped him a few hundred meters away with its tail.
Had Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield not been used on Old Seven, he would¡¯ve instantly returned to the spawning point with that one blow.
However, Old Seven¡¯s hit was not in vain. It at least bought Dean an opportunity. Taking advantage of its distraction in hitting Old Seven, Dean activated his Flight Skill and made a quick escape.
The Ancient Giant Lizard projection was no fool. The moment Dean moved, its eyes turned red, and a redva appeared in front of Dean.
Despite the massive impact from Dean¡¯s Flight Skill, capable of breaking the force of Spirit power multiplied by a billion and 45 times less.
Under its superior trait, Dean¡¯s collision resulted in bumps all over his head and he rebounded, failing to get away.
But Old Eight managed to escape sessfully.
While Dean was caught, Old Eight had already arrived beneath the Ancient Giant Lizard projection, and the pair of daggers in his hands were coated with the Evil Dragon¡¯s Corpse Poison.
Moreover, the moment he touched the lizard¡¯s back, aiming at its neck, he was about to execute a Forced Decapitation.
But before Old Eight¡¯s daggers could be used, its tail hit him again.
Old Eight was also sent flying several hundred meters away!
Seeing this, Dean didn¡¯t hesitate. He stretched out his arm, reached past the fire, and effortlessly pulled out a rare quality ruined corpse.
To be precise, a seven-turn rare quality ruined corpse.
Dean spun his hand and tossed the corpse.
Under Dean¡¯s immense power, the corpse acted like a cannonball, and if it hit a lower level map, the mere impact would have been city-destroying.
Of course, such an attack was nothing to the Ancient Giant Lizard projection.
Even if it struck its body, it wouldn¡¯t be able to break through its defense of over two billion, not to mention its over two billion defense was just the basic defense.
Still, the lizard cautiously whipped its tail.
However, just as it whipped its tail, Dean stretched out his hands and two different weapons appeared, both of them were tinum Level.
The one in his left hand was currently enhanced to his own limits.
An All-attribute Amplification of five hundred percent,
the next Holy Light Judgment Amplification up to twenty-five percent
of a Holy Light Sword.
Combined with a [Lich King¡¯s Wrath] on the right that doubles his base Spirit.
Dean¡¯s Spirit attribute jumped from an astonishing 15.68 million to 109.76 million.
Meanwhile, the staff in Dean¡¯s right hand activated [Lich King¡¯s Wrath], and the Corpse Explosion Skill increased to level neen; Dean swung his hand, urately targeting the corpse of the Goblin.
With that, a massive explosion echoed.
The region where the Ancient Giant Lizard projection was situated, that Goblin corpse exploded.
The horrifying st radius instantly spread out, directly hitting the nearby Ancient Giant Lizard, but at this moment, Dean had no time to care about what happened to the lizard hit by the explosion.
Because he himself was also in the st radius. The me covering his body instantly copsed, and Dean heard the shattering sound of the invisible Guardian Shield on his body.
Even though Old Four immediately activated [Defense Strengthen], increasing the defense by five hundred percent, Dean still felt the Guardian Shield continue to shatter..
Chapter 329:194 Supplementing the Dragon Bone
Chapter 329:194 Supplementing the Dragon Bone
Skeleton Great Lord¡¯s Foundation¡ª2
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t dare to dy, activating his Flight Skill immediately, using the remaining time of the Guardian Shield, to outrun the force.
With the full assistance of his flight skill, Dean sessfully covered a distance of two kilometers before the Guardian Shield shattered. Meanwhile, Old Four also died when the shield copsed.
This was the first time Old Four had ¡®died¡¯.
With Old Four gone, Dean bore all the damage alone. The terrifying impact swept him several kilometers away. Each of his bones shattered, and every pore was bleeding.
Dean quickly triggered his ¡®Enhanced Physique¡¯ trait for recovery, barely surviving. Otherwise, he might have be the first Mage to die under his attack.
While Dean suffered miserably amidst the Corpse Explosion, the leading Ancient Giant Lizard Projection also didn¡¯t have it easy.
After all, Dean¡¯s Corpse Explosion was of an exceptional level. It could deal full damage, and have triple traits activated.
Namely, ¡®Soul Explosion¡¯, ¡®Damage Deepening¡¯, ¡®Ignore Defense¡¯.
These three traits were added by Dean. His talent allowed him to ignore this portion of the damage, however, the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection couldn¡¯t.
Under the terrifying impact, its tail was directly broken off.
If it hadn¡¯t reacted swiftly by activating the ¡®Ancient Giant Lizard¡¯s Power¡¯, it would have died instantly.
After enduring the powerful attack, the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection entered a berserk mode. As soon as the Corpse Explosion attack ended, it immediately sprinted towards Dean, intent on killing him outright.
However, this would only be possible if Dean would give it the chance.
This time Dean was prepared, he didn¡¯t face it head-on.
Dean began running before the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection even approached.
He was determined to withstand the opponent¡¯s bursting attack for one minute.
But it wasn¡¯t going to be easy.
Before Dean had managed to run far, the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection stopped abruptly and took a deep breath before letting out a roar.
Amidst the roar of the Ancient Giant Lizard, Dean noticed the surroundingva descending at an incredible speed.
Immediately after, he realized what was happening.
Theva from all sides suddenly surged up, forming ava wall, and started closing in on him.
This kind of enclosure would have been bearable for Dean elsewhere, but it was impossible in his current environment.
Because he was in an undergroundva cave with a very low roof, as theva swelled and pressed in, Dean immediately felt entrapped.
As the squeezingva continued, Dean¡¯s survival space kept shrinking.
Despite Dean¡¯s efforts, he managed to hold on for one minute effectively exhausting the opponent¡¯s power phase.
But even after enduring the power phase, Dean¡¯s situation still didn¡¯t look promising.
His living space had narrowed to its absolute limit.
Now he was right in front of the opponent.
What was even worse was that Old Four had just died, and although he was not truly dead because of his ¡®Undying¡¯ trait.
But because the opponent was at the Seven-tum Extraordinary level, Old Four couldn¡¯t be instantly revived.
Meaning, Dean wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the opponent¡¯s attack.
The opponent seemed to be aware of this as well. It steadily closed in, preparing to tear Dean apart.
Very quickly, Dean¡¯s survival space was squeezed to its limit.
He was now within the attack distance of the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection, which seemed excited and seized the opportunity to attack fiercely.
It transformed into a beam of fiery red light, rushing towards Dean.
However, as it approached, it saw only a calm smile on Dean¡¯s face.
The very next second, a skeleton appeared before Dean.
The brand new Bone Dragon Sword in its hand swept across.
A ¡°swish¡± sound!
The mighty and seemingly invincible Ancient Giant Lizard, that had so brutally battered Dean and his team, was split in half by a single swipe of the sword. Simultaneously, the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection exploded, revealing a Dark Gold chest.
At the same moment, system notifications began shing rapidly before Dean¡¯s eyes.
¡ö''[You have sessfully killed the Ancient Giant Lizard Projection andpleted the Giant Lizard Inheritance Totem Fusion Trial!]¡± ¡°[Your Undead Servant (Doggy Two) has sessfully evolved!]¡± ¡°[Your Undead Servant (Doggy Two)¡¯s equipement [Land of Bone) and [Dragon Bone Sword] have evolved!]¡±
¡°[Sessfullypleted the trial. ¡®The Giant Lizard Inheritance Totem¡¯ has started fusing with your Portable Mysterious Realm ¡®Land of Bone¡¯]¡±
Amidst the continuous system notifications, Dean was directly sent out of the dungeon.
Simultaneously, the gates of his Land of Bone opened, and the Giant Lizard Inheritance Totem in front of him transformed into a streak of light breaking into his Land of Bone.
Subsequently, Dean¡¯s Land of Bone was equipped with a movable Giant Lizard Inheritance Altar.
In the meantime, the area of the Land of Bone had also expanded.
It had nearly doubled in size.

PS: This Secret Realm creature has a 10% chance of acquiring the skills or traits of the Giant Lizard lineage each time it progresses further.
Looking at the system prompts that popped up before his eyes, looking at these attributes on the screen, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze finallynded on the Giant Lizard Inheritance Altar at the very end.
¡°What exactly does the ¡®Secret Realm creature¡¯ this refers to mean?
Skeletons spawned in the Secret Realm?
Or could it be the denizens of the Land of Bone?
What about the skeletons I summoned? Can they, do they have a chance to acquire the Giant Lizard skills¡¯ inheritance?¡±
Among the several questions posed by Dean McKenzie, thetter was undoubtedly his main concern.
Because that directly affects Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t wait to test it out.
He immediately summoned ten skeletons and opened their attributes.
Then, Dean McKenzie was pleasantly surprised to find that among his skeletons, two held the skills of the Giant Lizard lineage.
Although both were low-level skills and the chance was not high.
But it¡¯s great to have any skills at all.
After all, Dean McKenzie would usually summon skeletons in the tens of thousands. With such arge-scale Skeleton summoning, he believed he could eventually get a few excellent ones.
Just this alone made Dean McKenzie very happy.
This altar greatly increased thebat power of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Skeleton Legion.
Aside from this altar and the level-up of the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie also got some other gains, such as the corpse of the Ancient Lizard Projection, and its dropped chest.
However, what Dean McKenzie was more concerned about at this moment was not these things.
It was Doggy Two, who was standing next to him and had just killed the Ancient Lizard Projection with a single blow.
His strike was simply too stunning.
Though the Ancient Lizard Projection was not at its peak strength when it was facing him, it could even be said to be severely injured.
Yet, Doggy Two¡¯s single strike still rendered Dean McKenzie speechless, causing him to eagerly open Doggy Two¡¯s attributes to check them out.

Effect 2: Trait Erasure (During an attack, can specify to erase an enemy¡¯s trait,sting for 3 seconds.)
Looking at Doggy Two¡¯s attributes in front of him, there were only two words in Dean McKenzie¡¯s mind.
Exaggerated!
It¡¯s really damn exaggerated!
Although Doggy Two¡¯s attributes alone don¡¯t seem extraordinary, but if you put all of his skills, traits, and equipment together, Doggy Two¡¯s existence is indeed extraordinary.
Especially those two pieces of his personal equipment, each one is more exaggerated than the other.
There¡¯s no need to talk about the Bone Throne, nothing much has changed, except that it has been strengthened.
The strengthened Bone Throne, in Dean McKenzie¡¯s view, has the most striking first point, which is simr to the first point of the effect of Dragon Bone Sword.
Both are multiply enhancements of total attributes.
These ¡°total attributes¡± refer to the total attributes after Doggy Two¡¯s traits and skills are enhanced.
So, if Doggy Two activates the ¡°Bone King¡± trait, increasing the attributes by 25 times, the Bone Throne and Dragon Bone Sword can further increase this basis.
Although most probably two pieces of equipment cannot work together, but even if they work separately, it¡¯s horrifying.
Even more shocking is the second effect of the Dragon Bone Sword, the ¡°Trait Erasure¡± effect, which can directly erase an opponent¡¯s effect.
Although the equipment did not specify the upper limit of erasure, from Doggy Two¡¯s one-strike kill record against the Ancient Lizard Projection, it is inferred that high-grade traits can be erased.
This means that in front of Doggy Two, a seven-turn barrier is no longer a big deal.
He now possesses the ability to face off against a seven-turn on his own.
Even if Doggy Two could set up a proper fight with the Ancient Lizard Projection, Doggy Two may not necessarily lose to it.
This round really turned Doggy Two into something overpowered, Dean McKenzie felt it was a little unreasonable even for himself.
He can even foresee what kind of copsing mentality Old Eight will have when he sees a revived and much-stronger Doggy Two!
Chapter 331:195 Old Eight and Old Four Evolve
Chapter 331:195 Old Eight and Old Four Evolve
Ever since Old Two evolved, Old Eight had to essentially check-in daily at the ce Old Two was undergoing his transformation.
What was his state of mind?
He was afraid of Old Two waking up, yet also was afraid of him not waking up!
So he needed to see Old Two every day.
He even made it a priority to visit Old Two the moment he was revived.
But when he visited this time, Old Eight was stunned.
Where was Old Two?
He¡¯d been right there before ¨C Old Two was so huge, how could he be missed?
Where¡¯d he gone? Had someone taken him?
Old Eight grew worried and quickly went to ask Dean McKenzie, pleading with him to help search for Old Two.
But to his surprise, there was Old Two beside Dean McKenzie, havingpletely evolved.
The moment Old Eight set his eyes on Old Two, he stood dumbstruck.
He was incapable and unwilling to believe that the skeleton in front of him was Old Two.
It couldn¡¯t be; Old Two couldn¡¯t be this powerful!
And when it was confirmed by Dean McKenzie that the one in front of him was Old Two, Old Eight felt as if the sky was falling.
Sure, Old Two had always been powerful before, but he was the kind of powerful that Old Eight felt like he could catch up with.
But now, just one look at Old Two and Old Eight felt despair!
Old Eight even doubted whether he would ever be stronger than Old Two.
So, Old Eight sunk into deep despair.
Seeing this, the rebellious Old Seven quicklyforted him.
He stated that Old Two was, after all, only this strong right now.
Old Eight was instantly revitalized, questioning whether Old Two would weaken in the future?
¡°No, he will be stronger in the future!¡±
¡°Crack!¡±
Old Eight instantly attacked and smashed Old Seven¡¯s skeletal frame.
However, Old Seven was right about one thing.
Old Two¡¯s power wouldn¡¯t stop progressing; his strength would skyrocket at a terrifying pace. Dean McKenzie would undoubtedly focus on training Doggy Two further.
Right after his evolution wasplete, Dean McKenzie gave Old Two the [Ancient Giant Lizard Projection].
The [Ancient Giant Lizard¡¯s Power] was extracted from the [Ancient Giant Lizard Projection], and used to enhance Old Two¡¯s current core skill, [Bone Eruption].
Skill: Bone Eruption (Second-turn) (Enhanced thrice)
Level: 9
Cost: 10 million (Spirit Power)
Base: After activation, attack increases by 70099000, all basic attributes increase by 900%.
Trait: Explosive Bone Power (Extraordinary) (Level 2) (After activation, it can increase the damage of the next attack by 20 times,
Note: This effect applies to Extraordinary Traits.
Ancient Power ? Giant Lizard (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (After activation, all attributes increase by 100%, attack and defense increase by 10 times)
Afterpleting the enhancement of this skill, Dean McKenzie used the remaining resources to enhance Doggy Two¡¯s other core skill.
Skill: Steel Bones (Fourth-turn) (Enhanced twice)
Level: 3
Effect: Passive increase in physique by 5 plus a fixed defense of 13 million,
Trait: Robust Physique (Extraordinary) (Level 1) (Every point of strength and physique increases attack and defense by 50 points).
Anti-Magic Attack (Extraordinary) (Level 2) (40% chance to destroy Perfect and lower quality skills/traits,
4% chance to destroy Extraordinary Quality skills and traits.)
With these two skills enhanced, Doggy Two¡¯s fighting power increased dramatically.
Yet, Dean McKenzie was not fully satisfied with the effects of these skill enhancements.
Dean McKenzie decided to make a big move!
¡°Previously, my summoned skeletons were always one-turn higher than me. There¡¯s no reason why, when I¡¯m at six-turn, Doggy Two and the others are still six-turn!
Good habits and traditions should be well preserved!¡±
With that, Dean McKenzie started focusing on upgrading the skill [Summon Skeleton].
He attempted to enhance this skill.
The good news was that it could be enhanced, but the bad news was that the result seemed a bitckluster.
Dean McKenzie spent 500,000 to grant [Summon Skeleton] 10 million attribute points, but the level of [Summon Skeleton] has not level up.
Thankfully, the increase in proficiency requirements wasn¡¯t too significant either.
¡°If this is the case, either the skill has almost reached its enhancement limit, or these 10 million attribute points are not enough.
Since the skill has just been upgraded, it couldn¡¯t possibly be the former. So, if I want to upgrade a skill of this level, it seems like I have to increase my Talent Level.
This opportunity was wasted, the next one can only be leveled up!¡±
With that, Dean McKenzie prepared to swiftly grind the skill proficiency level of [Summon Skeleton] to quickly get Doggy Two and the others to level 141 and above.
However, Dean McKenzie soon realized that it would not be easy.
The proficiency requirement for the post-upgrade [Summon Skeleton] has increased, summoning a single Ordinary Temte Skeleton only gives 1 point of proficiency.
Even with the support of equipment, traits, and buildings, it wouldn¡¯t exceed 10 points.
Meaning, Dean McKenzie would have to summon at least a million skeletons to level up [Summon Skeleton] once.
The efficiency was just too slow.
¡°It seems upgrading [Summon Skeleton] ultimately depends on the [Bone Tomb]!¡±
Dean McKenzie checked the refresh time for using [Bone Tomb], there were still about seven or eight days left.
Dean McKenzie felt relieved and decided to take a break.
Little did he know that this rest would bring him a pleasant surprise.
Just as he stopped practicing [Summon Skeleton], Dean McKenzie noticed a system prompt appearing in front of him.
[Your subject Finch Olmedo haspleted the [Abyss Mode] Promotion Trial, level increased to 101!]
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but show a pleased smile upon seeing this system prompt: ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy, this kid spent several months to finally cross one promotion quest!¡±
At the same time, Dean McKenzie sensed that Finch Olmedo, who hadpleted his promotion, hurried back to the Land of Bone, or rather, the City of Bone, almost immediately..
Chapter 332:195 Old Eight and Old Four Evolution !
Chapter 332:195 Old Eight and Old Four Evolution !
And it wasn¡¯t a wasted trip, he brought back a pleasant surprise for Dean McKenzie.
This guy managed to bring back the corpses of 5 bosses with Extraordinary Temtes.
Dean was both amazed and delighted, feeling more at ease.
Then he picked out a few Fifth-turn Instances for Finch Olmedo, presenting them as an extra reward.
This was not a simple reward from Dean, he was clearly trying to make the best use of Finch¡¯s capabilities.
These Instances were carefully chosen by Dean, likely containing Extraordinary Temtes. Each time Finch went into one and came out, Dean would receive a few more fragments of Extraordinary Temtes.
Finch was unaware of this, and left cheerfully with the Instance Scrolls in hand.
Dean was also thrilled. He immediately revived the 5 corpses with Extraordinary Temtes and killed them again. With the leftover fragment of the Extraordinary Temte, he managed to create two full-blown [Extraordinary Temtes].
Then, Dean distributed the two Extraordinary Temtes.
He gave one to Doggy Eight and the other to his chief defender, Old Four!
[You used the Extraordinary Temte on the Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight), its Temte evolves into [Invisible Bone], doubling its Attribute points, and its Trait evolves!]
[You used the Extraordinary Temte on the Wraith Servant (Old Four), its Temte evolves into [Bone Guardian], doubling its Attribute points, and its Trait evolves!]
Name: Invisible Bone (Doggy Eight)
Level: 135
Temte: Extraordinary
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Trait: Weak Presence (A) (Passively reduces its presence, so skills or Traits below the Legendary level cannot perceive it, and the sess rate of sensing it with Legendary skills and Traits decreases by forty percent)]
Name: Bone Guardian (Old Four)
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 135
Trait: Defense Strengthen (A-grade) (Passively increases basic defense by five hundred percent, and when activated, the defense effect increases by one thousand five hundred percent for thirty minutes)
Trait: Intermediate
Temte Trait: Guardian (C) (When protecting a target, defense capacity increases by one hundred percent)
¡°Not bad, very good!¡±
Dean was quite satisfied with the results of the two evolved Temtes.
He was not only pleased with the Temtes but also quite happy with Finch¡¯s performance.
Very supportive!
In his good mood, Dean turned his attention to the City of Bone.
With several months of operation, the City of Bone was already on the right track. Dean wondered if it was time for an expansion?
With that thought, he couldn¡¯t help but focus on the vital nucleation sites for his incubation in the Land of Bone.
Currently, there were mainly three areas in the Land of Bone for breeding, one was Finch¡¯s Gathering ce.
The other two were Giant Lizard Tribe and Carney¡¯s Giant Serpent Tribe.
About six thousand people from the Giant Lizard Tribe that Dean had previously put into ce were now there, and there were still nearly twelve thousand left there.
Due to the mysterious disappearance of the six thousand previously, the Giant Lizard Tribe stayed on constant alert, working hard for several months. Their levels and abilities are much stronger than the previous batch.
After a brief selection by Dean, he picked the strongest 6000 of them, then staged a monster attack to iste them. They would then be transferred out through the teleportation point established on the other side of the great mountains.
Having dealt with the Giant Lizard Tribe, Dean turned his attention to the Giant Serpent Tribe.
As they were partners, Dean didn¡¯t need to be so discreet. He just directly expressed to Carney his need to select some people to go out.
Lastly, Dean focused on Finch¡¯s Gathering ce.
The people in Finch¡¯s Gathering ce were the earliest arrivals to The Land of Bone and had stayed for the longest amount of time. Besides Finch leaving, the remaining people were all in the Gathering ce.
Dean checked the situation and found that the people in this Gathering ce were not weak, with quite a few at Levels three and four.
Dean contemted.
¡°It¡¯s about time I sent these people out and moved them to the Alliance to check things out.¡±
Speaking of the Alliance, Dean¡¯s eyes narrowed.
Things have been running smoothly recently, and Dean almost forgot. He was initially driven out from the Alliance.
Back then, the person who blocked him as soon as he stepped out, who seemed incredibly powerful at the time, Bruce Hodge, now seemed rather ordinary to Dean.
¡°Should I go back and check?¡±
Dean wasn¡¯t nning a triumphant return for petty satisfaction.
It was apparent that Bruce Hodge back then had targeted him because of Anthony. Now that Dean had enough strength, he felt it necessary to check on Anthony¡¯s situation.
¡°It¡¯s been several months, I wonder how Anthony¡¯s been doing.
Right, there were quite a few Business Associations from the Alliance in the South Barbarian area, I should check with them.
If Anthony needs help, I¡¯ll head back as soon as possible, if not, I¡¯ll level up to 141 first!¡±
As someone who was chased out of the Alliance, Dean had a severe fear of insufficient firepower.
He felt that at his current strength, he couldn¡¯t even walk arrogantly in the South Barbarian area, let alone in the Alliance.
It would be best to keep a low profile and keep growing until he was strong enough to suppress the entire Alliance before returning.
But Dean was aware that this approach might be overly cautious.
So on that same day, Dean went to the border of the South Barbarian area and the Alliance, moving out some people from Finch¡¯s Gathering ce..
Chapter 333:195 Old Eight and Old Four Evolution_3
Chapter 333:195 Old Eight and Old Four Evolution_3
On the one hand, raising his frog children, and on the other hand, he needed to build his own intelligence system through these frog children, which would allow him to understand the movements of the Alliance without leaving his home.
While raising his frog children, Dean McKenzie also let Carney out, and he gave the job of contacting the Alliance¡¯s Business Association to Carney.
Have Carney investigate the situation in Spring City, Thorn Oak, or Anta.
After distributing the work, Dean McKenzie once again entered into a state of seclusion, living in the Land of Bone to recuperate.
Saying he is adjusting his state, in reality, it is a long process of psychological suggestion, making himself forget that he has any skills other than Summon Skeleton, only leaving Summon Skeleton in his mind.
The first thing to do when encountering danger is to use Summon Skeleton.
In this way, it¡¯s convenient for Dean McKenzie to use Death Epiphany.
A few dayster, Dean McKenzie sessfully adjusted his state, and the Bone Tomb also finished its cooling.
¡°This time, there¡¯s only one goal, max out Summon Skeleton for me!¡±
With a clear goal in mind, Dean McKenzie led a group of 20 subordinates to enter the Bone Tomb magnificently. He started with a Death Epiphany.
(You contemte the essence of death, and your Summon Skeleton (Sublimation) skill level has increased to Level 2!]
Dean McKenzie felt a little toothache, he had already leveled up once in one wave.
Dean McKenzie looked at the levels of Doggy Two and the others. They had also gone from Level 135 to Level 137. Even if everything goes smoothly, Dean McKenzie would have to level up twice more to bring them up to Level 141.
¡°One more time!¡±
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, gave 200,000 Gold Coins, and activated Death Epiphany again.
This time the level of Summon Skeleton was upgraded to level 3, and the level of Doggy Two and the others was also raised to Level 139.
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth and put in another 500,000 coins, adding 10 million attribute points. This time, the 10 million attributes just sshed, and the levels of Doggy Two and the others were raised to Level 14.0.
So, they were only one Level away from a Seven-turn at Level 141.
¡°Sess or failure depends on this round!¡±
Said Dean McKenzie, putting in another 400,000 coins, and activating Death Epiphany again.
Then this time, as soon as Dean McKenzie activated Death Epiphany, the Summon Skeleton technique shed in his mind, and then was immediately reced by another skill called Skeletal Summoning.
After Dean McKenziepleted the use of Death Epiphany this time, the system prompt refreshed in front of his eyes.
[Your skill Skeleton Summoning has been upgraded to Level 9!]
This was a regr system prompt, but besides this regr system prompt, there was also an irregr system prompt.
[Please note that your skill Summon Skeleton has reached the limit for leveling up in the Bone Tomb, and it can¡¯t be leveled up further in the Bone Tomb before it leveled up!]please visit ¡± sitestorys(.)c0m ¡± maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
Seeing this system prompt popping up in front of him, Dean McKenzie finally remembered.
Although the Bone Tomb has always performed well, it is undeniable that this building is only an Intermediate 3-star building.
Its theoretical limit is Six-turn, and it would indeed be too much to ask to rely on it to raise his Summon Skeleton to the point where it could summon a Seven-turn.
Looking at the system prompt, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel a headache.
¡°In this case, I¡¯ll have to grind for thest level of my Summon Skeleton myself!¡±
What was causing him a headache was when he looked at the attributes of Summon Skeleton that popped up when he opened his own attribute panel, Dean McKenzie felt overwhelmed.
Skill: Summon Skeleton (Sublimation) (Second Strengthen)
Level: Level 3 (30 million/60 million!)
Consumption: 5 million
Level 3 Summon Skeleton needs 60 million attribute points to level up.
Although Death Epiphany has already gotten Dean McKenzie halfway there, he still needs to cover the rest himself.
¡°Which means, if I summon ordinary temte skeletons, I need to summon at least 3 million skeletons?¡±
These attributes were a bit life-threatening!
Moreover, this time the skill summoning needed a total of 5 million mana each time. Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana is currently as high as 700 million, it could only allow for a bit over a hundred summons in one go.
Mortal Recovery of mana is a big problem.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s current Meditation technique is only at Level 8 due to ack of strengthening and leveling up, restoring 61,664 mana every minute. It would take more than an hour to recover 5 million.
Dean McKenzie could only aplish a dozen or twenty summons in one day.
¡°Meditation must be enhanced!
Also, I need to buy more skeleton temtes!¡±
Summoning an ordinary temte skeleton gives 10 proficiency points, elite can increase 5 times to 50, excellent can increase five times to 250 points of proficiency.
Rare is quite powerful, it can increase ten times to 2,500 points of proficiency.
Perfect can even increase ten times to 25,000, and extraordinary 250,000.
If Dean McKenzie uses all extraordinary temtes, the 30 million would be taken care of in more or less 120 summons.
But Dean McKenzie knew that wasn¡¯t possible!
Where was he supposed to get 120 extraordinary temtes?
Even if he had them, he might not be able to afford them. It¡¯s not even about the extraordinary temte, it¡¯s hard to get even Perfect Quality temte.
The most likely temte to get inrge volume is the Rare temte or the Excellent temte.
If it¡¯s a Rare temte, only 12,000 summons are needed. If it¡¯s an Excellent temte, 120,000 are needed.
Although the number is daunting, Dean McKenzie was still able to ept it.
Now there¡¯s a problem, how is Dean McKenzie supposed to quickly get these temtes.
As soon as this problem came up, Dean McKenzie immediately thought of an old friend of his.
¡°Boom!¡±
Half a month after Dean McKenziepleted his Six-turn, the big door deep inside the Giant Bear Tribe was kicked open by Doggy Two. Bear Barry inside saw this and was furious, ready to take action.
But when he saw it was a skeleton that kicked open the door, he paused for a moment.
However, it was only a momentary pause, he was still very decisive, and gritted his teeth ready to erupt.
But before he had a chance to erupt, Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Sword was already on his neck.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie walked in behind Doggy Two with a smile on his face, patted Bear Barry on the shoulder and said, ¡°Buddy, I have a few things I¡¯d like to discuss with you!¡±
Chapter 334:196 Continuous Evolution
Chapter 334:196 Continuous Evolution
¡°Alright!¡±
In the depths of the Giant Bear Tribe, the moment Dean McKenzie made his request, Bear Barry nodded his head.
This straightforwardness, even McKenzie himself was surprised.
¡°Wait, I haven¡¯t said what I need your help with!¡±
¡°Just say it!¡±
¡°Firstly, I need your Promotion Temple; secondly, I need the full cooperation of your Giant Bear Tribe with my men¡¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Before McKenzie finished his sentence, Bear Barry eagerly nodded his head again.
He also added, ¡°Sir, to be honest, after yourst visit, I felt my apology was insufficient. The Giant Bear Tribe owes you, and I¡¯d like to repay with everything we have.
From now on, I will be your loyal dog. I will head east if you say so, and never west. If you tell me to bite someone, I won¡¯t go chasing after chickens.
I¡¯m willing to offer my absolute loyalty, in hopes of atoning for the sms of the Giant Bear Tribe.
Of course, if you could help me pass the eighth-turn trial after you reach the seven-turn, that would be even better!¡±
Bear Barry cleverly made his demand.
If the demand had not been made, his primal act of lowering his head would have been hard to understand.
But after adding hisst appeal, everything began to make more sense.
At least, McKenzie was willing to believe this one appeal.
Then, Bear Barry was recruited under McKenzie¡¯smand.
Of course, this did not mean that McKenziepletely trusted Bear Barry, it was inly because McKenzie¡¯s current strength made him feelpletely unthreatened by any betrayal from Bear Barry.
Moreover, McKenzie believed Bear Barry would not betray him within a short time.
Bear Barry¡¯s subsequent performancepletely confirmed McKenzie¡¯s guess.
This leader of the Giant Bear Tribe proved his flexibility to McKenzie once again.
After eptance, hepletely considered himself as McKenzie¡¯s henchman.
In no time, he offered all the things that McKenzie needed, thereby giving
McKenzie control over a Level 6 Promotion Temple.
With the help of Bear Barry, McKenzie¡¯s interrupted business of Temting and Corpses restarted.
Not just restarted, but its scale far exceeded the previous one.
After all, the scale of the Giant Bear Tribe is not something the Giant Serpent
Tribe of the Carney family couldpare with.
With the full support of the Giant Bear Tribe and the boost from the South Barbarian tribes, the Alliance¡¯s caravans within the territories of the Giant Bear Tribe operated at full power. Diverse Wraith Temtes and all kinds of perfect corpses were continuously transported over to McKenzie¡¯s side.
Besides earnings from the temtes and corpses, Carney also obtained some information about Spring City and Anthony from a few Businesses in Anta.
From the limited information, it seemed that Anthony was halcyon.
What¡¯s more, he got promoted and it was rapid.
From the original captain of the Spring City Law Enforcement Team, he was directly elevated to vice president of the Thorn Oak City Alliance Branch.
He could be considered as a person of authority in Thorn Oak City.
¡°Did Anthony get promoted this fast?¡±
When McKenzie heard this news, his first reaction was disbelief as Anthony seemed to be only at the third-turn.
Could a third-turn individual be vice president of Thorn Oak City?
Thoughter news mentioned that Anthony¡¯s third-turn power was outdated, his strength had advanced vigorously after McKenzie left. It was reported to be at the fifth-turn now.
But McKenzie still found this somewhat unreliable.
Therefore, McKenzie asked Carney to follow up on this news.
Meanwhile, McKenzie contemted sending someone to Anta.
However, Anta was tens of thousands of miles away from South Barbarian, and none of McKenzie¡¯s minions could travel that far.
The people of the Land of Bone under McKenzie¡¯smand could go but McKenzie hadn¡¯t issued explicit instructions to them before. Doing so now would somewhat go against his principle of not interfering in the lives of people in Land of Bone.
In addition, apart from Finch Olmedo, the others in Land of Bone didn¡¯t seem to possess much strength or usefulness.
After some hesitation, McKenzie finally decided against sending someone and chose to tolerate it.
He¡¯ll wait until he elevates Summon Skeleton to level 4 and raise Doggy Two and the others¡¯ power to 141.
However, while McKenzie was not nning to go to Anta, someone from Anta had his eyes on him.
Anta, Thorn Oak City, in Bruce Hodge¡¯s office.
¡°Chairman!¡±
His male secretary knocked on his door.
¡°Come in!¡±
¡°Chairman, some news hase from South Barbarian!¡±
¡°South Barbarian?¡±
Upon hearing his secretary, Bruce Hodge was taken aback, ¡°We don¡¯t seem to have that much influence there, do we?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not us, but someone from South Barbarian has been inquiring about Deputy Chairman Hawkins. The Businesses here in Anta found it suspicious and sent you the news!¡±
¡°Ennis Hawkins?¡±
Hearing this, Bruce Hodge¡¯s eyes narrowed, ¡°This deputy Chairman is not to be underestimated. Look at that, he¡¯s stretching his connections all the way to South Barbarian! What a reach!¡±
From his mocking tone, it wasn¡¯t hard to see that he didn¡¯t care much about this matter.
¡°They have to rely on other merchants to find information about Ennis Hawkins, it shows that their connection with him is either cut-off or not deep.
Shouldn¡¯t affect our ns.
Also, it¡¯s not likely to be those guys.
But since they made some ripples, let¡¯s follow this lead and investigate properly!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
The male secretary nodded, and left the office..
Chapter 335:196 Sequential Evolution 2
Chapter 335:196 Sequential Evolution 2
Soon after, in less than half a day, the male secretary was back again.
This time, he brought back the full information on Carney.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s a big fish indeed!
Just the one that appears is a six-turn barbarian, who knows how powerful the people behind him are!¡±
¡°The most important thing is, sir, we¡¯ve found out about this ¡®Carney¡¯ and his backer. Guess what his name is!¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Bruce Hodge!¡±
Upon hearing these two words, Bruce Hodge couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows.
¡°Interesting, really fascinating, seems like it¡¯s an old acquaintance of mine, then I can¡¯t pretend not to see it!¡±
¡°Good, I will send someone to deal with this right away!¡±
¡°No need to send people there, after all, it¡¯s in the South Barbarian territory, it¡¯s not easy to handle when we¡¯re in the light and the enemy is in the dark. Let hime to us instead, doesn¡¯t he want to know about Ennis Hawkins?
Let our friendly businesses leak information about Ennis Hawkins to him.
Let him know that we¡¯re nning to make a move on Ennis Hawkins!
We can¡¯t make a move within South Barbarian territory, but as long as he dares toe to Thorn Oak, whether he¡¯s a dragon or a tiger, he¡¯ll have to kneel!¡± ¡°Wise decision, President!
I¡¯ll take care of it right away!¡±
South Barbarian, Giant Bear Tribe.
As various information circtes, Dean McKenzie has been in a busy state all this while.
He was busy digesting the benefits brought to him by the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s full-powered contribution.
The Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s full-powered effort brought tens of thousands of temtes to Dean McKenzie on the same day.
The worst were elites, and the best were even of perfect quality.
At this point, Dean McKenzie no longer looks at the elite temtes.
A single one could only provide 50 proficiency points, how many of them would Dean McKenzie need in order to gather 30 million?
As such, Dean McKenzie¡¯s summons began at the level of excellent temtes at the very least.
On the first day, Dean McKenziepleted 300 summons and also achieved the fourth level of Meditation!
Skill: Meditation (Level 4 Strong)
Level: 9 (0/3000000)
Basic Effect: Meditation Recovery (Recovers 10.07 million mana value per minute)
Trait: Mana Recovery: Water, Fire, Earth (Level 4) (Extraordinary)
Effect 1: As long as there are water, fire, and earth elements around, the trait automatically activates. Meditation will automatically operate, recovering mana at 80% of the ¡°Meditation Recovery¡± efficiency.
Effect 2: Under the condition that the trait is activated, his sensing range is up to his spiritual power multiplied by 0.5 meters, and it also boosts the sensing skill effect!
Effect 3: When standing on the ground, Meditation will automatically operate, recovering mana at 80% of the ¡°Meditation Recovery¡± efficiency. At the same time, it will umte a recovery effect of 30 minutes, forming a mana shield!
The resistance of water and fire attributes increases the recovery effect by 80%!
This is an impressive skill that Dean McKenzie obtained by spending resources.
After achieving Meditation, Dean McKenzie¡¯s stamina greatly improved.
He can recover over eight million mana in a minute.
He can perform 3 summons in two minutes, and at least two thousand times a day at full power.
Though, of course, reality wouldn¡¯t be so outrageous. After all, magic must stillply with the basic rules, and Dean McKenzie¡¯s mana recovery still requires energy.
Luckily, there¡¯s a small volcano near the Giant Bear Tribe that provides a source of mana recovery for Dean McKenzie.
That¡¯s why Dean McKenzie can guarantee 1,500-1,600 summons every day.
And while most of Dean McKenzie¡¯s summons are mostly excellent temtes, he roughly needs to do it about 120,000 times.
Of course, there are also some rare and perfect ones.
But they are not that many.
Dean McKenzie calcted that if he has enough temtes and mana, it would take him at least two or three months toplete even with his daily rate of 1,500.
However, Dean McKenzie isn¡¯t in a hurry.
If he can make steady progress, then two or three months isn¡¯t a long time.
Having a volcanic source providing a steady supply of mana, Dean McKenzie only needs to worry about if the supply of temtes is stable enough.
In this regard, Bear Barry stepped up.
He considers this opportunity as a chance to firmly hold onto Dean McKenzie¡¯s coattails.
He doesn¡¯t expect to seed in one go, but he also can¡¯t perform too poorly.
Therefore, Bear Barry took this matter very seriously.
He had used up all the connections he could use in his whole life.
Do not underestimate a seventh change strongman.
As a professional¡¯s strength grows, so too will his status and connections expand gradually.
Bear Barry¡¯s connections aren¡¯t just in the South Barbarian territory. Even in the small countries to the west of South Barbarian and the alliance to the east, Bear Barry has friends.
Even if they aren¡¯t real friends, but mere acquaintances.
When Bear Barry asks for a favor, as long as it¡¯s not an outrageous request, they are generally willing to fulfill it.
Thanks to Bear Barry¡¯s efforts, Dean McKenzie¡¯s temtes had a massive burst that went beyond his expectations.
¡°Sir, these are the temtes that Little Bear got from the small foreign countries, the South Barbarian tribes, and also from the alliance in the east. Please have a look!¡±
Bear Barry smartly held back for over a month, waiting until he got hold of all the valuable goods, then he hurriedly went in front of Dean McKenzie and presented the goods as if he was offering up a treasure.
The stuff wasn¡¯t too much: just several hundred temtes, but each and every one of them was superb.
Three extraordinary temtes!
One hundred and twenty-two Perfect Temtes!
Three hundred and forty-four rare temtes!
Observing the items Bear Barry handed out, Dean McKenzie heavily pped him on the shoulder.
¡°Well done!¡±
For such a diligent and hard-working follower like this, Dean McKenzie never skimped on his praises.
And, the goods Bear Barry presented this time are genuinely good.
Three extraordinary temtes, namely ¡°Hell Skeleton Knight temte¡±, ¡°Ghostly Skeleton Archmage¡±, ¡°Bone Arrow of Despair¡±..
Chapter 336:196 Sequential Evolution_3
Chapter 336:196 Sequential Evolution_3
These three temtes happen to be extraordinary temtes that the three skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand can use.
And the perfect temtes make Dean McKenzie even more delighted, with 122 of them, roughly divided into three types.
One is the (Desperate Bone Archer], one is the [Netherworld Skeleton Mage], and one is the [Death Skeleton Knight!].
These three are clearly subordinates of the three extraordinary temtes.
All of them are systematic.
The majority are knights, 60 of them, 40 are archers and 22 are mages!
The skeletons from the rare temtes form an entire legion, known as the [Netherworld Skeleton Elites]!
With these temtes that Bear Barry has taken out, aplete standing skeleton army under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand can be assembled.
If all these temtes are used, it will allow Dean McKenzie to increase his proficiency by nearly five million.
Dean McKenzie has been grinding for over a month now, after taking in this wave, he should be close to level 4 of [Summon Skeleton],
Dean McKenzie starts working right away, first giving the three extraordinary temtes to his three subordinates.
[You use the [Bone Arrow of Despair Temte] on your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine), its temte undergoes evolution!]
(You use the [Netherworld Skeleton Mage Temte] on your Wraith Servant (Doggy Six), its temte undergoes evolution!]
[You apply the [Hell Skeleton Knight Temte] to your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven), this temte conjoins and mutates with Old Seven¡¯s inherent temte power!]
As a series of system prompts refreshes, the dogs under Dean McKenzie¡¯smandplete their temte evolution.
Dean McKenzie casually opens their attribute boards to briefly check their current attributes.
Name: Freakishly Lucky Bone Arrow of Despair (Old Nine)
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 140
Traits: Lucky Crossbow (A) (Your luck affects your attack, influenced by luck, the damage of each hit will be multiplied by any factor between 20 and 250.)
Arrow of Despair (A) (After killing a target with an arrow, there is a chance to gain the target¡¯s despair, and subsequent arrow attacks will carry the power of despair.)
Trait: Intermediate
Name: Irresponsible Netherworld Skeleton Mage (Doggy Six)
Level: 140
Temte: Extraordinary
Trait: Power of the Nether (A) (The power of Nether spells is increased by a thousand percent, and Nether spell skill proficiency is increased by a thousand percent.)
Deputy: Intermediate Architect
Dark Specialization (B) (Building trait,prehension and construction efficiency of dark attribute buildings increased by 300 percent, 50 percent increase in building attributes.)
Name: The Fallen Skeleton Knight of Hell
Level: 140
Temte: Extraordinary
Trait: Hell¡¯s Holy Light (A-level) (Damage to Holy Light Profession increased by 500 percent, killing target has a chance to turn it into a Fallen Skeleton n.)
Every time a Holy Light Profession of the same turn is killed, all basic attributes permanently increase by 1 percent, up to 1000 percent.)
These three attributes are two freaks and one mediocre whenid out side by side.
Whether it is Old Nine or Old Seven, their traits are absolutely terrifying and incredibly abnormal.
Even among the extraordinary traits, their traits stand out as a unique existence.
There¡¯s no need to speak of Old Nine. If its Lucky Strike can multiply up to 250 times, a full-on attack could easily kill a Seven-turn with high-level traits.
Not to mention that second extraordinary trait, which is clearly not ordinary.
Old Seven¡¯s trait is even more perverse, directly increasing attribute points tenfold permanently.
Previously, his trait could only double at most, and had increased by more than twofold. But now, once the trait evolved, it was directly reset. Tell me, isn¡¯t that terrifying?
Compared to them, Old Six¡¯s traits seem quite ordinary.
However, Old Six does not rely onbat to make a living. As the chief architect of the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie would take a beating before ever letting Old Six get hit.
In Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart, Old Six is the most awesome.
After all, all his other dogs have grown to their current level with his help; it¡¯s like he¡¯s been cheating for them. Only Old Six has gotten to where he is on his own. At least as an architect, Dean McKenzie really hasn¡¯t given him much help.
Old Six¡¯s sess is entirely the result of his own efforts.
After evolving Old Six and the others, Dean McKenzie used up the remaining temtes, then he continued to brush up his skill proficiency and also strengthen his own traits.
After all, he¡¯s going to summon 120,000 skeletons of Excellent Quality.
These skeletons can¡¯t be sustained for long. In the end, they will definitely have to be sacrificed.
3000 Excellent Quality essences can make an Extraordinary. If all 120,000 are made extraordinary, it¡¯s enough for Dean McKenzie to upgrade all his own traits and those of his dogs once.
But upgrading to Extraordinaries is nowhere near as good as upgrading to Legendaries, right?
To upgrade to Legendary, one Legendary requires 30 Extraordinary Essences.
That is to say, it¡¯s roughly equivalent to 90 million Excellent Temtes.
Dean McKenzie can probably upgrade one trait¡ umm, with bodies and other misceneous stuff added in, he can barely upgrade two traits.
Dean McKenzie nned well in advance which two traits to strengthen, but when he started, he realized that he had forgotten one thing ¨C the time limit for the Talent.
A Level 5 Talent Extraction can onlyst 9000 minutes, which is just over six days.
Dean McKenzie almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and in the end, he was forced to enhance the traits of himself and his skeletons once over.
After all the traits had been enhanced, his strength had grown to terrifying levels. Every Bone Fang he casually threw carried¡
Skill: Bone Fang (9 times enhanced)
Level: 15 (Sublimated) (Grey)
Skill Cost: 500,000 Mana
Skill Damage: 35 times Spirit Power plus 50.06 million
Associated Trait: Attack Enhancement (Extraordinary) (Level 5)
Effect 1: Pration (Extraordinary) (Level 4) ¨C Eighty percent of skill damage is pration damage!
Effect 2: Long Distance Output (Extraordinary) (Level 4) ¨C Attack range increases by Spirit Power in meters
Effect 3: Split Attack (Extraordinary) (Level 4) ¨C Without consuming Mana, Bone Fang can be divided into 0.5 times Spirit Power parts, each part dealing one fiftieth of the total damage.
Consuming 10 times Mana activates 5 times Spirit Power Split Attack effect, each part dealing twenty-five percent of the single target attack.
Effect 4: Power of the Wraith ¡ö Ice (Extraordinary) (Level 5) (Passive ¨C Attackes with three hundred percent ice damage, consumes double Mana for active activation, can inflict one thousand five percent attack ice damage, with a chance to trigger freeze effect)
Effect 5: Rapid Shot (Extraordinary) (Level 5) (Skill bypasses chant, shooting speed increased 50 times)
This is the Bone Fang that Dean McKenzie has now enhanced to the limit. Dean McKenzie just wants to ask, who could withstand this Bone Fang?
Dean McKenzie tested it on Carl, a Seven-turn savage bull. He almost killed the bull!
Chapter 337:197 Return to Alliance
Chapter 337:197 Return to Alliance
¡°Who, who did this?
Where was it done?¡±
South Barbarian, Giant Bear Tribe!
Bear Barry went into a rampage upon hearing the report from his subordinates!
The terrifying aura of a seven-turn Extraordinary Temte strongman eruptedpletely.
This abyss-like aura made it difficult for the subordinate reporting to him to breathe. His face paled in utter fear.
However, the person standing before the raging Bear Barry did not know. At this moment, the enraged Bear Barry in front of him was even more panicked than he was.
Because something went wrong with the task Dean McKenzie had assigned to him.
He went to great lengths to finally get a batch of temtes from the Alliance, only for them to be held back before they could enter the South Barbarian Territory.
They were the items Dean McKenzie wanted!
He was already this close topleting the task with this final batch, but someone had seized it at thest moment.
Bear Barry felt an urge to kill at that moment.
¡°Speak up, are you deaf?¡±
¡°Re¡rep¡chief, we haven¡¯t figured out who did it yet!¡±
¡°Are you saying you don¡¯t know or haven¡¯t figured it out yet?¡±
¡°Chief, it happened in the Alliance territory, we¡ we really can¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Useless!¡±
Bear Barry grabbed the unlucky subordinate and threw him out.
After tossing him out, Bear Barry fell silent.
He knew that this matter mighte to a halt here.
After all, his request for those temtes was well known, and people were aware those temtes were needed by him.
If someone dared to act despite knowing this, it meant they were not afraid of Bear Barry at all.
In such a situation, even if he pursued the matter into the Alliance, it probably wouldn¡¯t make any difference.
If these items were just for him, Bear Barry might have let it go. But these were items Dean McKenzie wanted, so he could not let it go so easily, at least he wanted Dean to know that he tried his best!
Bear Barry muttered to himself, ¡°I guess I have to make this trip myself!¡±
At this moment, the voice of Dean McKenzie suddenly resounded from the side.
¡°I¡¯ll go for you this time!¡±
At the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s figure appeared in front of him.
Seeing Dean McKenzie suddenly appear, Bear Barry couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.
¡°Sir, why have youe?¡±
¡°The temtes are used up, I came out for a breath of fresh air!¡±
¡°I am ipetent!¡±
Bear Barry immediately bowed his head, his face filled with shame.
¡°This is not your fault. The other party is likely targeting me!¡±
Saying this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes narrowed.
Half a day ago, contacts reported to Dean McKenzie. They had heard from a merchant in Anta that something had happened to Anthony and that Bruce Hodge, the president of the Thorn Oak City branch of the Alliance, was nning to make a move against him.
Then not long after, Dean McKenzie heard the news about thest batch of temtes that Bear Barry had prepared for him being seized in the Alliance.
With two pieces of information, plus the name of Bruce Hodgebined, Dean
McKenzie finds it hard not to suspect that someone is deliberately trying to mess with him.
Dean McKenzie had suspicions, so naturally, he had toe out to confirm them.
The several Business Associations had all been detained and interrogated by Dean McKenzie.
ording to the interrogation results, indeed, someone had revealed the information about Carney¡¯s investigation into Anthony to Anta, and it was from Anta that the news about Anthony being toyed with was passed on to Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie did not know if the other party was really after Anthony, but he had to admit, their operations were precise, hitting him right where it hurt most, dancing crazily over Dean McKenzie¡¯sndmines.
There was no need to speak of Anthony, who was Dean McKenzie¡¯s guide to bing a professional.
If it weren¡¯t for Anthony, Dean may either benguishing in the sewers or already dead, corrupted by dark forces.
Therefore, Anthony¡¯s importance to Dean McKenzie was paramount. Messing with Anthony was on par with messing with Dean McKenzie himself.
And messing with Dean McKenzie¡¯s temtes was messing with Dean McKenzie¡¯s mentality.
His [Summon Skeleton] was already at the fourth level, just a little bit more, and then thest bit of temtes was seized.
You can imagine Dean McKenzie¡¯s feelings.
The intent to kill naturally leaked out, causing Bear Barry to tremble and lower his head, secretly saying ¡®the strength of the Sir has grown again¡¯.
Originally, Dean McKenzie¡¯s strengthy mostly in the wraiths under hismand.
But now, the aura that Dean McKenzie exudes gave Bear Barry a sense of terror as if facing an eighth-turn Promotion Quest.
Although it was only a little, it was enough for Bear Barry to have an insight into Dean McKenzie¡¯s current power.
¡°Leave some of your token items here for me, and use your name to contact the
Alliance. Tell them I¡¯m going over to deal with this.¡±
¡°Alright! I¡¯ll get on it right away!¡±
¡°No, there¡¯s no rush!¡±
If he were in a rush, Dean would have flown over already.
The [Flight Skill] of his maxed-out character, with its Extraordinary Traits, was no joke. Even a distance of several tens of thousands of miles, if Dean McKenzie exerted his full strength, it wouldn¡¯t take more than 10 hours.
It was clear that they had dug a hole and were waiting for him to fall into it.
They didn¡¯t even worry about Dean McKenzie knowing that it was a trap, those
Business Associations were just their discarded pieces.
They obviously wanted to tell Dean McKenzie.
¡®Look, I¡¯ve dug a hole here, just waiting for you to jump in!¡¯
So the question now was, for such an obvious trap, would Dean McKenzie leap into it?
Of course, Dean McKenzie must go.
After all, it concerned Anthony¡¯s life and death. But how he would get there was a different story.
And before he left, Dean McKenzie needed to be fully prepared.
¡°I need to requisition the maps of the six-turn and seven-turn territories of the Giant Bear Tribe. Also, help me borrow the maps of the other seven-turn territories from the South Barbarian!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
As soon as Dean McKenzie said those words, Bear Barry knew what Dean
McKenzie was nning.
Dean McKenzie was preparing to shoot for the seven-turn.
For others, attaining the seven-turn might be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but for Dean McKenzie, all he needed was enough Experience Points..
Chapter 338:197 Return to the Alliance_2
Chapter 338:197 Return to the Alliance_2
So, when Bear Barry heard this piece of news, he was excited and didn¡¯t hesitate, getting to work right away.
He was also hopeful that if Dean McKenzie needed to increase his strength, he might help him reach the eighth-turn after his own seventh-turn transformation.
However, this was wishful thinking on his part.
In truth, Dean McKenzie was simply making preparations and wasn¡¯t nning to make the seventh-turn transformation unless absolutely necessary.
Because before Doggy Two and the others reached their seventh-turn, Dean McKenzie estimates that his own seventh-turn achievement could at best challenge Hell or Abyss level difficulty.
The cost-effectiveness is not high!
Plus, Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t forgotten about the raid ¨C [Goblin Uprising].
The level for that raid is a six-turn, so once Dean McKenzie upgrades to a seventh-turn, the raid would no longer be essible.
So, Dean McKenzie was just holding onto his experience points.
The fewer he used, the better. If needed though, he could use them in an instant.
Of course, Bear Barry¡¯s misunderstanding wasn¡¯t a bad thing for Dean McKenzie.
With full steam ahead, in less than half an hour, he had cleared four six-turn maps and two seven-turn maps.
Entering a six-turn map, Dean McKenzieunched an attack with ten times the Mana of Bone Fang.
The entire map was instantly cleared.
Dean McKenzie finished off four maps in less than a minute.
His level also rose to 125!
[Your level has increased to level 125. Your Four-Dimensional attributes have increased. You have been granted an additional Grant Quota. You now have 4 Grant Qijotas remaining!]
However, solving the remaining two seven-turn maps proved to be challenging.
Because of advanced traits, Dean McKenzie had to attack one Bone Fang at a time.
With his current Bone Fang equipped with the [Wizard¡¯s Knowledge Hat], [Holy Light Sword], and [Wraith King¡¯s Wrath], Dean McKenzie¡¯s total bonuses allowed him to reach a 7.2 times multiplier, his Spiritual Power reaching 112.89.6 million.
His basic skill damage could reach 40 billion, single Mana output added 300 percent of Ice attribute damage, which is 160 billion.
Moreover, there was a 500 percent total output bonus from the A-grade trait King of Bones.
Other bonuses weren¡¯t even considered, one blow could deal 800 billion damage.
Such damage, even with advanced traits, what difference does it make?
With 90 percent reduced, it still had an output of 80 billion, what seventh-turn could withstand that?
And now that Bone Fang was instantaneous, Dean McKenzie dealt with each enemy with one blow.
The two seven-turn maps took Dean less than an hour to clear.
With the addition of thousands of seventh-turn creatures from these two maps, Dean McKenzie¡¯s level soared to 140.
Bear Barry watched in disbelief at the dramatic leveling speed.
He had known from the start that for a real powerhouse, level and experience had never been a restraint, but he had never seen such a rapid level up.
In just over an hour, his level had risen by nearly twenty.
Once he reached the peak of Six-turn, however, Dean McKenzie halted his leveling.
Then, Dean set sail on his journey by taking the Giant Bear Tribe¡¯s passage to the Alliance.
After almost half a year, Dean McKenzie was finally going back to the Alliance!
¡°Chairman, the snake has left the den!¡±
Right after Dean left, the news was quickly delivered to Bruce Hodge from Anta.
¡°Oh!¡±
Hearing this news, Bruce Hodge raised an eyebrow, ¡°He came out so soon?¡±
¡°Yes, he took the passage of the Giant Bear Tribe, heading straight to Rouge, he negotiates on behalf of the Giant Bear Tribe regarding the recent stolen goods from the Tribe!¡±
¡°Is that so? Seems like he has a deep bond with that one from the Giant Bear Tribe!¡±
Bruce Hodge raised an eyebrow.
Meanwhile, the secretary in front of him also couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow, looking like he was struggling to say something: ¡°So? You want to say something?¡±
¡°Chairman, judging by the current situation, that person from the Southern Barbarian is not an ordinary figure in terms of identity and strength. Why do you want to involve him at this point?
Won¡¯t that add more variables to our uing ns?¡±
Bruce Hodge nced at the secretary, feeling good, he said: ¡°You, you see things too superficially!¡±
¡°Do you really think that Ennis Hawkins was able to hold onto his current position for over half a year just by his own ability?¡±
¡°In reality, if I really wanted to remove him, it wouldn¡¯t take much effort at all.¡±
¡°The reason I¡¯ve left him be so far is because his existence is most valuable to
me.¡±
The secretary was taken aback, but soon understood.
Their chairman considered Ennis Hawkins as a tool for padding achievements.
Keeping Ennis Hawkins was to bait the ones who would want to save him.
That¡¯s exactly why Bruce Hodge had been putting his n to move against Ennis Hawkins on hold for over half a year.
Bruce Hodge benefited quite a lot from this half a year.
He captured hundreds of people, small and big.
However, Bruce Hodge wasn¡¯t particrly pleased with his prior aplishments, as he muttered while staring out of the window, ¡°The previous fish were too small, I hope this next one will be bigger!¡±
¡°Only by cleaning up these parasites lurking within the Alliance can the Alliance have a brighter future!¡±
In South Barbariannd, on his way back to the Alliance, Dean McKenzie rummaged through his storage for quite a long time and finally found a token. ¡°Thank God, I didn¡¯t get rid of this thing, otherwise I¡¯d be in big trouble now!¡± With that, Dean McKenzie poured his surging Mana into the token and watched the changes in the token quietly.
A few minutester, a somewhat cold voice rang out from the token in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand.
¡°Neer, who is your guide?¡±
¡°Guide?¡±
Dean McKenzie blinked, then narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Would Donald Morgan count? It was him who gave me this thing!¡±
Correct, what Dean McKenzie took out at this moment was indeed the token that Donald Morgan had left him before.
He mentioned it could be used if he ever wanted to join their organization. Now, Dean McKenzie also threw out Donald Morgan¡¯s name.
What Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t expect was that his name ended up being surprisingly useful!
¡°He¡¯s one of the Thirteen Elders of our organization.¡±
¡°If you were guided by him, of course it counts, but I need to verify your identity!
Please provide your basic information!¡±
¡°Donald Morgan is one of your Thirteen Elders? So your organization is not thatplicated after all. As for verifying my identity, let¡¯s put that aside, just give me some intel on Ennis Hawkins. I¡¯ve got info that Bruce Hodge, the chairman of Thorn Oak City, is nning on taking him out, can you verify that for me?
After verification, let Donald Morgane to find me in Albany of the Rouge District!¡±
Having said that, Dean McKenzie terminated themunication directly.
As for how the other side would react and whether Donald Morgan coulde, he would only know once he gets to the Rouge.
After hanging up, Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyesnded on the files in his hands.
The files he had in his hands were the route map for thest batch of goods from the Giant Bear Tribe.
Dean McKenzie was studying the document.
If possible, Dean McKenzie definitely wanted to find this batch of goods as much as possible.
His [Summon Skeleton] was just a little short of reaching level 4.
Once he found those supplies, the Wraith Army under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand could grow into a Seventh-order Wraith Army.
At that time, Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power would experience a leap to the epic level.
Lets ask you, are you scared of several hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Seventh-order skeleton armies?
¡°ording to this document, I can roughly infer that this batch of goods must have gone missing within the Rouge!
This is also the reason why Dean McKenzie came to the Rouge.
¡°However, the Rouge is so big, it won¡¯t be easy to find them. It seems, I still need to depend on Bear Barry, a Seventh-order strongman to put some pressure on the Rouge district.
After all, he is a big shot in the South Barbarian area, Bear Barry should have some say in the Rouge, right?¡±
Thinking as such, Dean McKenzie, leading his team, entered the Rouge.
Upon entering the Rouge, it¡¯s nearly impossible not to mention that once back in the Alliance, Dean McKenzie felt the warmth of the Alliance, the chairman of the Rouge branch of the Alliance, greeted Dean McKenzie by serving dessert, referred to as the ¡®door soup¡¯ joke!
Chapter 339:198 The salary is in place, the gods are wasted
Chapter 339:198 The sry is in ce, the gods are wasted
Rouge, Albany!
In the reception area, Dean McKenzie asked a South Barbarian staffer responsible for liaising with the Alliance, ¡°Is that guy still not ready to meet me?¡±
¡°Sir, the response we received from the Alliance is that they need a few more days since they have things to handle on their end!¡±
Upon hearing the same old reply, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but smirk,
Seems like your boss doesn¡¯t hold much sway here!¡±
Initially, he assumed that they would give Bear Barry some face owing to his Barbarian supremacy.
But once he arrived, he found that they didn¡¯t think much of the ¡®Barbarian Supreme Bear.¡¯
Of course, it could be because Bear Barry did note himself, if he were there in person, the situation might have been different.
As for Dean McKenzie?
They probably feel that considering his status and their position, if he insists on meeting right away, it might make them seem inferior, hence he should be sidelined for now.
On the other hand, the Giant Bear Tribe member dared not belittle his n leader in front of Dean.
After all, he knew the inside scoop.
Understood well how Dean killed Yorick Meyer and made Bear Barry submit.
Let alone belittle Bear Barry in front of him, even if he did so in Bear Barry¡¯s presence, Bear Barry would still have to painfully agree of his ipetence!
¡°Rest assured, Sir. I will do my best tomunicate with the Alliance ¡±
¡°No need to strain yourself!¡±
Dean McKenzie dismissed the matter, ¡°When we¡¯re in their territory, we must be respectful and abide by their rules.
When they¡¯re busy, we need to give them space and not cause trouble; we must be more mindful.¡±
After hearing Dean¡¯s words, his subordinates were a bit baffled.
When did the boss be so patient?
Could it be due to the change in scenario? Was he only arrogant in the South Barbarian areas and now that he has returned to the Alliance, he has mellowed down?
Is the Alliance that terrifying? So much so that even the boss has to tread carefully?
As they were still puzzled, Dean added, ¡°However, we should also consider those who work tirelessly for the Alliance. Are we not going to let them bnce work and family?
Could you do me a favor and look into their wives, mistresses, children, elderly, etc.?
They might be too busy with work and don¡¯t have time to care for their families. 1 guess we could ease their burden by lending some support!¡±
Upon hearing Dean¡¯s words, the subordinate fired up.
He had known it. When had the boss ever been this patient?
They initially thought that entering the Alliance would lead to a change in the boss¡¯s behavior. Turns out, there was no alteration. The boss¡¯s temper hadn¡¯t subsided but became worse. On a whim, he decided to care for others¡¯ wives and children.
This is the Alliance, inside Albany!
Wouldn¡¯t such actions be¡too¡
¡°Hm?¡±
As his subordinate hesitated, Dean McKenzie nced his way, and he instinctively trembled.
¡®TH get started right away!¡±
Next, the subordinate darted out to fulfill his duties.
Almost at the same time as his departure, a beacon lit up on Dean McKenzie.
Seeing the glowing tag, a smile crept up on Dean¡¯s face.
¡°So, this guy really came!¡±
Half an hourter, within the Dark Green Hotel in Albany!
After more than half a year, Dean McKenzie met Donald Morgan again.
Upon meeting again, both sized each other up.
However, the difference was, in Donald Morgan¡¯s eyes, Dean seemed enshrouded in a fog, whereas Donald appeared as clear as a stream to Dean.
Name: Donald Morgan
Identity: Son of the Bloody Church
Temte: Extraordinary
Level: 14.0
In a year¡¯s time, up two levels and temte upgrade to Extraordinary.
One has to admit, Donald Morgan has made significant progress.
Gazing at Donald Morgan¡¯s attributes, Dean McKenzie sighed faintly.
On the other hand, Donald Morgan had an even more astonished look.
After all, Dean could clearly see him, while in his eyes, Dean was utterly shrouded in fog.
He could just vaguely sense enormous blood energy equivalent to that of a seventh-level soldier within Dean¡¯s body.
Upon sensing this, Donald Morgan was stunned.
He remembered that Dean was a Necromancer, generally, their bodies are mere shells and have weaker physique than the normal mages. How can Dean possess such terrifying blood energy?
Could it be possible that he has altered his body to that of a Wraith?
But if he did transform into a Wraith, shouldn¡¯t his blood energy be depleted?
Donald Morgan was puzzled and bewildered.
¡±Wait, I mean, although it¡¯s been a while since we met, there¡¯s no need to inspect me so much, right?
If someone didn¡¯t know better, they might think there was some unresolved history between us!¡±
Deanughed and broke Donald¡¯s gaze, then walked straight into the private room that Donald had reserved.
At the sight of the empty dining table, Dean¡¯s eyebrows knitted, ¡°Where¡¯s the food? Didn¡¯t you order anything?¡±
Donald Morgan was struggling to keep up with Dean¡¯s pace.
Dinner? Was he seriously here for dinner?
Nheless, Donald had the dishes served.
¡°Where have you been these past six months?¡±
Once the meals were served and irrelevant people had left, Donald Morgan finally asked.
¡°In the Southern Barbarian areas! Mm, this dish is great, it¡¯s been quite a while since I¡¯ve had good food!¡±
Dean responded while eating heartily.
It wasn¡¯t an act, he indeed hasn¡¯t had much of exquisite food for a long while..
Chapter 340:198 Salary paid, God works to waste_2
Chapter 340:198 Sry paid, God works to waste_2
Previously in the Alliance, Dean McKenzie was constantly running and didn¡¯t have the opportunity to enjoy any delicacies. After he arrived in South Barbarian, he finally found a ce to settle down. However, he found the local cuisine not to his liking.
So, Dean McKenzie was exceptionally happy with the current meal.
¡°South Barbarian, huh? No wonder you don¡¯t know about Anthony¡¯s situation!¡±
¡°What happened to Anthony?¡±
The moment Donald Morgan mentioned Anthony, Dean McKenzie abruptly stopped eating and turned to look at Donald Morgan.
Donald Morgan felt an enormous pressure under his stare.
Although he didn¡¯t know what Dean McKenzie had gone through in thest half year, he was certain that Dean McKenzie had undergone a profound transformation, bing incredibly strong.
Both Anthony and their organization were in dire need of talents like Dean McKenzie.
So, Donald promptly exined Anthony¡¯s current situation to Dean McKenzie without beating about the bush.
In short, Anthony had suddenly requested to be transferred to Thorn Oak City about six months ago.
And almost immediately upon arrival in Thorn Oak City, Anthony was appointed as the deputy director of the Thorn Oak branch.
¡°Ever since that moment, Anthony has been at the mercy of Bruce Hodge.
Bruce Hodge could have done whatever he wanted with Anthony, but he chose to hold him in suspense, asionally leaking hints that he might let Anthony off to bait him. You heard the rumor this time, it seems that he is trying to bait you!¡±
¡°Bait me?¡±
Dean McKenzie smiled and resumed eating: ¡°What¡¯s Bruce Hodge¡¯s Strength level? Seven-turn? Eight-turn? Or Ninth-turn?¡±
Donald Morgan was taken aback by Dean McKenzie¡¯s casual questions about Bruce Hodge¡¯s strength level.
Though questioning about a Seven-turn, Eight-turn, or Ninth-turn?
¡°I think he¡¯s a Six-turn?¡±
¡°Six-turn?¡± Dean McKenzie was startled at once. He stopped picking food, ¡°He¡¯s in charge of Anta, right?
As a high-ranking official, how could his strength only be Six-turn?¡±
¡°Position and Strength aren¡¯t necessarily rted. ording to our known information, except for a few, all the branch directors are Six-turns!¡±
After hearing this, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and chuckle at his own sense of nervousness during this period.
He had been overly nervous.
But thisugh left Donald Morgan bewildered as he watched Dean McKenzie, unsure about what he wasughing at.
¡°Why are you staring? Keep eating!¡±
¡°Just because his power is only a Six-turn, don¡¯t underestimate him ¨C the biggest advantage they have is not their own power, but the power they can mobilize with their positions.
The power of the Alliance is far greater than you could imagine.
Although Bruce Hodge is only Six-turn, it¡¯s hard to tell who you will face if you storm in.¡±
¡°Like an eighth-turn?¡±
¡°Um¡¡±
Donald Morgan was once again stunned and felt a hint of exhaustion; he was unable to continue this topic.
He was baffled by Dean McKenzie¡¯s concerns about running into a Seven-turn or Eight-turn. An Eight-turn? What kind of power level does an Eight-turn possess? Regardless of whether in the Alliance or in the Abyss, an Eight-turn would be considered top-tier firepower. Such a high-level Strength couldn¡¯t possibly be within Bruce Hodge¡¯s control.
¡°It seems there are no Eight-turns, then don¡¯t get stunned. Keep eating!¡±
As long as there weren¡¯t any Eight-turns, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t perceive this as a major issue.
Afterwards, Dean McKenzie took the opportunity to have Donald Morgan catch him up on the current state of the Alliance.
Through Donald Morgan, Dean McKenzie gained a clear understanding of the power structures in the Alliance.
At present, the most powerful force in the Alliance is naturally the Alliance itself. Underneath the Alliance is an array of churches worshiping the various Abyssal Gods. Their Bloody God Church, for example, is a sect that worships the Bloody God.
Among all the churches, they are considered third-tier. Even their Pope only possesses a Seven-turn Strength level.
Among these churches, the three most sessful ones are the [Fear], [Despair] and [Nightmare] Churches. Legend has it that there are Ninth-turn powerhouses in these three churches.
After learning about these churches, Dean McKenzie had a question.
¡°What about the Church of Holy Light?¡±
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t hear this church mentioned in Donald Morgan¡¯s exnation but based on what he had encountered in the instances of the [Dragon Pce Ruins] and the [Goblin Uprising], the Church of Holy Light seemed to be a formidable sect.
So why hadn¡¯t Donald Morgan mentioned this church?
When Dean McKenzie asked this question, Donald Morgan looked up at him: ¡°I had already mentioned it!¡±
¡°When did you ever say it?¡±
¡°I mentioned it right at the beginning!¡±
¡°At the beginning you¡mentioned the Alliance¡¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s words trailed off as he narrowed his eyes: ¡°Are you saying¡the Alliance is the Church of Holy Light?¡±
¡°ording to the information we currently have, there are numerous links between the Alliance and the Church of Holy Light!¡±
Donald Morgan¡¯s brief words sent a shockwave through Dean McKenzie.
However, Donald Morgan felt it was not enough and continued: ¡°Do you know Anthony¡¯s other identity?¡±
¡°Anthony¡¯s another identity? What other identity does he have?¡±
¡°He was originally an aspirant for the Holy Son in the Alliance¡¯s Church of Holy Light!¡±
¡°Anthony? Holy Son?¡±
This information came as quite a shock, and Dean McKenzie was taken aback.
¡°Yes, he was more than twenty years ago!
I got this information from Anthony himself.
In fact, although the Alliance is the Church of Holy Light, there is not aplete unity between the Alliance and the Church of Holy Light.
Initially, the Alliance embraced the Church of Holy Light because during the drastic changes in the world, the Alliance¡¯s foundation was too weak to protect thisnd amidst the chaos..
Chapter 341:198 Salary paid, God works to waste_3
Chapter 341:198 Sry paid, God works to waste_3
Thus, the ancestors of the Alliance, in order to protect thisnd and our people, chose to embrace the Church of Holy Light.
Using special methods, they obtained the Strength from the Church of Holy Light to defend thisnd.
And when the Church of Holy Light wanted to extend its Strength to thisnd, the forefathers of the Alliance struck back. In order to defend thend, thirteen of the Alliance elders, who had borrowed power from the Church of Holy Light, gantly sacrificed themselves.
With their lives, they thoroughly cut off the thoughts of the Church of Holy Light invading the Alliance!
This bought the Alliance two to three hundred years of time!¡±
From Donald Morgan¡¯s fragmented narration, Dean McKenzie could feel the tragic grandeur of that historical period.
¡°What happened next?¡±
¡°Members within the Alliance gradually began to turn corrupt, secretly affiliating themselves with the Church of Holy Light in order to gain power.
Afterwards, the Alliance began to be slowly eroded by the power of the Church of Holy Light.
Although there were still individuals within the Alliance resisting this erosion, as time passed, this erosion became increasingly serious.
Currently, the Strength of the Church of Holy Light has even reached the point where it is about to suppress everything!¡±
At this point, Donald Morgan let out a long sigh, his face and heart full of bitterness and anger!
¡°The reason the Alliance is what it is now, with rampant corruption internally and various Churches running rampant externally, is entirely due to the consequences of the Alliance confronting the Church of Holy Light.
And after the Church of Holy Light gradually started to win, they not only had no intention of changing the situation, but even had ns to worsen the environment within the Alliance.
This was because of their ¡®n of God¡¯s Descent¡¯.
They nned to create fear and chaos, to let the entire Alliance fall into¡¡±
Seeing Donald Morgan bing more and more agitated, Dean McKenzie quickly interrupted him, ¡°Hold on, hold on. I know you¡¯re very worked up right now, but calm down, okay? Just tell me first, what role does Anthony y in all this?
Is he one of those people who oppose the Church of Holy Light, or is he one of them?
This is very important. I need to adjust my perspective first!¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Donald Morgan choked at Dean¡¯s interruption. Donald Morgan was passionately discussing the future destiny of their nation and the Alliance, and Dean was asking whose side Anthony stood on!
What¡¯s up with that? Did Dean think this was a school trip? If Anthony didn¡¯t go, would Dean choose not to go as well?
But Donald Morgan responded anyway, ¡°Anthony is a staunch supporter of the Alliance within the Church of Holy Light.
In their eyes, this world belongs to the Alliance. They don¡¯t allow any foreign so-called ¡®gods¡¯ to extend their hands into this world, not even the Church of Holy Light which is their source of Strength.
That¡¯s why he lost his candidacy as an heir to the Church twenty years ago.
Now that the foreign Church of Holy Light ispletely in power, those of Anthony¡¯s faction are being purged!¡±
Upon hearing these words, Dean finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, ¡°Then these bastards are just asking for it!¡±
After all, Dean hadn¡¯t been in this world very long, and he couldn¡¯t exactly say that he had deep love for this world, let alone the idea of confronting a foreign god for it.
But if it was for Anthony, then Dean felt he could!
At the same time that Dean said these words, Donald Morgan also solemnly stood up and extended an olive branch to Dean McKenzie again, ¡°Although we don¡¯t have the same ideals, we now have amon goal. Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join our organization.
Our organization is called the ¡°Dawn¡±!¡±
¡°Eh!¡±
Dean was not interested in the olive branch that Donald Morgan had extended again.
After all, the size of the organization couldn¡¯t berge if even Donald Morgan was one of the thirteen elders. He wasn¡¯t interested in ying house with a bunch of six or seventh-turn professionals.
Additionally, it seemed that the house they were ying was aimed at a foreign god.
However, Dean casually asked a question, ¡°If I join your organization, what benefits will I receive?¡±
Dean¡¯s question left Donald Morgan in silence for a while.
¡°You¡¯re the first one to ask about benefits amongst all the members who have joined the organization?¡±
¡°What, does everyone in your organization work for love?¡±
¡°What do you mean by ¡®work for love¡¯?¡±
¡°Working for an ideal without expecting anypensation!¡±
¡°Shouldn¡¯t it be like that for a noble ideal?¡±
¡°I could understand others saying this, but aren¡¯t you Donald Morgan? Despite being raised in the dark environment of the Bloody Church, you always seem to not understand the world as if you¡¯re some innocent little girl.
While striving for a noble ideal is indeed magnificent, you can¡¯t expect everyone in an organization to be of this kind, right?
And besides, aren¡¯t you trying to pull me in, a rtively practical guy who doesn¡¯t really have any noble ideals?
Forget about the ideals. Just tell me what benefits I will get if I join your side.
I¡¯m telling you, as long as the pay is right, I¡¯ll defeat all the evil gods in the foreign realm for you!¡±
Hearing Dean¡¯s words, Donald Morgan was silent for a moment, then said after a while, ¡°Our organization doesn¡¯t have much to offer, we can¡¯t give you too many benefits.¡±
¡°So you still want me to work for you for free then?¡±
¡°No, you just said that as long as the sry is good enough, you¡¯re willing to defeat all the foreign realm¡¯s evil gods for me right?
I¡¯ve gotten my hands on a treasure vault of the Bloody God Church¡¯s heritage. It contains treasures umted over hundreds of years by the Bloody God Church. Are you interested?¡±
Upon hearing Donald¡¯s words, Dean couldn¡¯t help but narrow his eyes, ¡°Since you¡¯ve put it that way, it¡¯s very hard for me not to be interested!
Tell me, what do you n to use that wealth for me to do?
Rescue Anthony, or confront the Church of Holy Light?¡±
¡°Neither!¡±
Donald Morgan shook his head and looked at Dean McKenzie, speaking word for word, ¡°I want you to fulfill your promise, and help me defeat the Bloody God!¡±
¡°Pfft!¡±
Dean McKenzie, who was drinking soup, spat it out on the spot!
Chapter 342:199 Hunting Church
Chapter 342:199 Hunting Church
¡°Do you find yourself funny?¡±
¡°Do you realize how inappropriate your words are?¡±
¡°Did you ever think that your annoying behavior might just get you punched?¡±
Dean McKenzie red at Donald Morgan with a tightly clenched fist.
What the fuck, he had never met anyone this annoying before.
Just casually bragging about himself and then the other party would start making a big deal out of it.
Those who take things seriously when someone else is boasting are the most annoying.
However, Dean quickly noticed that Donald was not trying to argue with him, instead, he seemed serious about going ahead with his n.
¡°The Blood God is not as powerful as you imagine, especially over here in the Alliance, where the true form of the Blood God cannot descend, his strength is depending on the power of his believers.
And his strongest believer is only at a seven-turn level. For us, he is not an unbeatable creature!¡±
¡°Wait, are you for real?¡±
Listening to Donald¡¯s words, looking at his serious expression, Dean squinted his eyes.
¡°Are you really nning to deal with the Blood God?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s one of our most important ns at Dawn, and our preliminary preparations arepleted, we can start hunting the Blood God at any time!¡± ¡°Damn, you guys are really doing this!¡±
When Dean was sure from their tone that they were serious, he was truly shocked.
¡°Are you guys being too daring?
Are you nning to attack a God?¡±
¡°Correction, it¡¯s a God with a maximum power level of seven-turn!¡±
Upon listening to Donald¡¯s words, Dean couldn¡¯t refrain from shaking his head, ¡°You guys have a major misunderstanding about the power level of seven-turn. I am not sure how powerful a God can be.
But, if it were me and my power level reached seven-turn, I¡¯d have no problem taking on an eighth-turn level creature.
If it is a God, there is no reason for it to be weaker than me, right?
Even though its level might be confined to seven-turn, its battle strength certainly wouldn¡¯t be restricted to this level.¡±
¡°So in other words, what you were saying about paid work taking out a god¡ it was all bluster.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t try to provoke me, your tactics are too elementary, I won¡¯t fall for them.
And if we¡¯re going by that, I must tell you, your offer is far too low to provoke me to make a move against the Blood God!¡±
¡°What do you consider a fair price then?¡±
¡°Fancy yourself a big shot now, don¡¯t you?
I won¡¯t be harsh on you, here¡¯s what I want: 50 Talent Stones of Excellent Quality, 1 Talent Stone above Excellent Quality, 5000 Secret Realm Crystals, 10 Legendary Quality Skeleton Temtes, 100 Extraordinary Temtes, and 10,000 Perfect Temtes!
Once you gather these items, I¡¯ll join you against the Blood God!
If you can¡¯t afford it, keep your mouth shut!
That¡¯s all for today!¡±
Dean nonchntly dropped an exorbitant price and left.
He didn¡¯t wish to linger as he feared Donald would say something else.
Dean had always thought of Donald as a little crazy, but he never expected that he could be this mad.
A six-turn level wanting to y a God?
Dean had no idea where he got all this courage from.
Even Dean wouldn¡¯t dare to engage with such a high-level entity. This guy, who wasn¡¯t even worthparing to any of Dean¡¯s dogs, had the audacity, Dean didn¡¯t know what to say.
After parting with Donald, Dean returns to his lodging ce.
Upon his return, Dean felt that something was off.
The ce was eerily silent.
He didn¡¯t see any of the Barbarians from the Giant Bear Tribe who came with him.
Dean paused, sensing the strange atmosphere.
As soon as Dean stopped, a voice sounded.
¡°Why did you stop?
Let¡¯s chat inside!¡±
Apanied by the voice, the main door of the lodging was flung open.
Dean instantly noticed all the Barbarians who hade with him were pinned down on the floor inside.
The worst off was Diego Meyer, the Barbarian he had asked to collect information on the families of the Alliance¡¯s higher-ups.
He was studded with numerous weapons, nailed to the ground. Blood soaked the floor. He was barely hanging on, looking like he might expire at any moment.
A young man in his twenties was sitting next to Diego, casually ying with a small dagger while coldly gazing at Dean.
¡°Kid, so it was you who ordered him to gather information on the rtives of the Alliance leaders?
Come, exin to me why you gave this order.¡±
Once Dean heard these words, he understood what was happening. His gaze fell on Diego, shaking his head as he observed how inept the Barbarian was at aplishing this simple task.
¡°Honestly, how did you get caught while merely gathering some information on the Alliance leaders?
Did you overtly tell them that you wanted to look after their wives, considering they have a lot to manage every day?
Couldn¡¯t you just make up an excuse about wanting to give a gift or something?
Can¡¯t you even do that?¡±
¡°Sir¡ I¡ I¡¡±
Diego, looking wronged, was at a loss for words.
He was not stupid. How could he ever approach people in such an overt manner?
He had gone discretely but had gotten caught within seconds of opening his mouth.
¡°I get it, it¡¯s not about your ipetence but their cunning, isn¡¯t it?
Fine, be careful next time.. It¡¯s not a big deal!¡±
Chapter 343:199 Hunting Church_2
Chapter 343:199 Hunting Church_2
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he walked up to Diego Meyer, threw a bottle of medicine at him, and casually pulled the weapon from Diego¡¯s body.
As soon as the weapon was in his hand, the eyebrows of a young man nearby twitched.
¡°Did I give you permission?¡±
As he spoke, he swiped a dagger towards Dean¡¯s hand.
¡°Did I give you too much respect?¡±
At his movement, Dean turned his head and gave him a cold nce. At the same time, the man¡¯s arm was cut off and his body was pinned to the ground under his foot.
The one who acted was Dean¡¯s eighth man!
Almost simultaneously, the heads of the people brought by the young man instantly turned into skeletons. Dozens of Six-turn Skeleton Assassins appeared.
Witnessing this, the young man¡¯s face instantly changed.
At this time, Dean had already pulled Diego up, and sat down in the chair the young man had just upied, his foot on the young man¡¯s head.
¡°I originally nned to negotiate with your leader as a regr robber, but since you reacted so quickly, I¡¯lly all my cards on the table. Go tell your leader he has two choices. Either return the shipment to me within three days!
Or, find himself a suitable, desirable grave in three days!¡±
After finishing his words, Dean kicked the young man out of the inn.
The kicked young man didn¡¯t dare to let out a fart, and left dispiritedly.
Soon after, the young man returned to the local branch of the Albany Alliance.
On his way back, the sight of his severed arm was quite eye-catching.
After all, he was an important servant of the branch leader, a Perfect Temte Assassin at the 140 level of the Six-turn, one of the top figures in Albany.
Under the gaze of the public, the young man arrived at the office of the branch leader of the Albany League, and was about to knock on the door, when a loud noise came from inside. The young man¡¯s face became tense, and he hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.
When he entered, he only saw the branch leader of Anta, cowering against the wall, his face full of fear and despair.
Seeing this, although the young man didn¡¯t know what had happened, he could be sure that this scene was absolutely rted to the man who had just broken his hand.
As expected, seeing him enter, the leader¡¯s face immediately filled with fear.
¡°Quickly, quickly pass on mymand, immediately mobilize all the forces of Rouge, and help the gentleman of the Giant Bear Tribe find the goods they lost!¡±
Before the young man arrived, Dean¡¯s eighth man had found the branch leader a step ahead.
They had a friendly discussion!
After the discussion, the branch leader came to his senses, so he summoned the forces of Rouge to help Dean look for the whereabouts of the goods.
Not only that, he almost immediately came to meet Dean, and presented him with a generous gift.
Seeing how quickly the branch leader hade to his senses, Dean shook his head.
Why all the fuss? Why indeed!
Wouldn¡¯t it be better if he understood things right from the start?
And through these events, Dean finally understood the right way to deal with these people.
You can¡¯t indulge them, or they¡¯ll make a definite line and create all sorts of trouble for you, extort you to their greatest extent within their range of power!
As long as you p them, they¡¯ll be morepliant and sensible than anyone else.
The man named Sean Hawkins, the league president, directly confessed.
He made things difficult for Dean solely on Bruce Hodge¡¯smand. He¡¯s a great and loyal man.
He has no ill intentions towards Dean, nor dares he to.
It was Bruce Hodge who wanted to harm Dean, and even told Dean wholeheartedly that Bruce Hodge hadid a trap in Anta to deal with Dean, advising Dean not to go to Anta.
On one side, Seanpletely sold out Bruce, while on the other side, Bruce received the news not long after Sean had knelt down.
¡°In less than three days, President Sean was taken down by the other party, it seems that guy really has the power!¡±
¡°To be able to take down Sean, he must be one of the top among the Six-turn, and may even have Seven-turnbat power.¡±
¡°Such an existence is likely to stir up storms in Anta!¡±
Bruce¡¯s corners of his mouth lifted: ¡°The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
However, as fishermen, we have to make sure that the targeted fish can be caught, and they won¡¯t drag us into the sea. Let¡¯s test his strength again!¡±
¡°President, we don¡¯t have enough forces in Rouge¡¡±
¡°We don¡¯t have enough, but someone else does, don¡¯t they?
Last time, didn¡¯t we let the people from the Hunting Church rob his shipment, isn¡¯t he still looking for his shipment?
Give him the location of the Hunting Church!¡±
At the order of Bruce, his secretary didn¡¯t immediately depart.
¡°What¡¯s the matter, any questions?¡±
¡°President, he¡¯s so concerned about this shipment, perhaps there¡¯s something very important for him in it. Should we really give it to him?¡±
¡°If it¡¯s important, wouldn¡¯t he bite the hook?
Moreover, we don¡¯t need to stop him from getting anything important to him.
As long as we¡¯ve squeezed out all its value, once he gets it, it doesn¡¯t matter.
Would getting that shipment allow him to elevate hisbat power?¡±
Chapter 344: Hunting Church_3
Chapter 344: Hunting Church_3
¡°Even if they could increase their fighting power, the I have prepared for him is enough to prevent him from turning over. They have forgotten that the Alliance is behind us. No one can turn over under the Alliance¡¯s strength, let alone him.¡±
¡°Get to it!¡±
Upon hearing this, Bruce Hodge¡¯s male secretary nodded heavily.
¡°Yes!¡±
With the help of Bruce Hodge, in less than two days, Sean Hawkins got a clue and found out who Dean McKenzie¡¯s goods had fallen into the hands of.
So, Sean Hawkins once again sent out that young man to get the goods back for Dean McKenzie.
But that young man never returned. Not only the goods ¨C he himself was killed by that group.
Not only that, but his head was sent back to Sean Hawkins as a gift.
This scared Sean Hawkins so much, he went to see Dean McKenzie right away.
¡°Sir, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you get the goods back, but that group of people is too strong, I can¡¯t resist them, ah!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not a devil. Since you helped me find the clue, I wouldn¡¯t just move against you. You have already saved your life by 99%, now just a little bit more.
¡°All you have to do is pay a tiny bit of servitude money, fill up thatst 1%, and your life will bepletely yours!¡±
Dean McKenzie patted Sean Hawkins on the shoulders, his face kind and amiable, looking very reasonable andforting. Sean Hawkins felt reassured, and promised to prepare satisfactory servitude money for Dean McKenzie, to buy back thest 1% of his life.
Dean McKenzie then left to follow the lead given by Sean Hawkins to retrieve hisst batch of detained goods.
The Hunting Church, same as the Bloody Church, belongs to the third-rate churches in the Alliance.
This church is even worse than the Bloody Church.
The scale is notrge ¨C they only have about 1500 followers.
They live a nomadic life, worshiping the Mark of the Hunting God from the outer world, with everyone and everything as their hunting ground.
They even hunt humans, treating humans as prey. After a sessful hunt, they would eat their prey.>
They would not care who or what their target is, once a target is identified, they would attack, no matter who wins or loses.
Even within the Alliance, this church is a distasteful presence.
Still, the church is somewhat powerful, especially in forests where their fighting power doubles, and they would blend in with the terrain, making them challenging to deal with.
One misstep and they might get away.
Regardless, for Dean McKenzie, it¡¯s not a big issue.
Upon locating their position, Dean McKenzie waved his hand, summoning the Skeletons and surrounded the area where the church was located.
¡°The Hunting Church? Don¡¯t you im to be hunters of everything and everyone?
¡°Today, I¡¯m going to let you taste what it¡¯s like to be hunted by ¡®everything¡¯.¡±
In the depths of the mountains, the temporary base of the Hunting Church.
The entire church was conducting their once-a-year, grandest Sacrificial Ceremony.
They would collectively offer their greatest hunt of the year to the Hunting God, and in return, would receive miracles.
For this year, they had been preparing for half a month. The entire altar structure had been set up, and this year¡¯s best prey was ced on top of the altar, ready to begin this grand Sacrificial Ceremony.
But before the ceremony started, the Pope of the Hunting Church received a warning from their God.
Danger was approaching!
¡°Everyone, retreat immediately!¡±
As a devout follower of the Hunting God, the Pope of the Hunting Church, without a doubt, heeded the warning of their god and immediately issued the order.
However, his order came a bit toote.
Or rather, their God¡¯s warning came a bit toote.
As themand was issued, the sky lit up suddenly. When the Church¡¯s people instinctively looked up, they were astounded.
In the sky, there was a fireball of an enormous size.
And this fireball was expanding at an unbelievable pace.
With a ¡°boom¡±, the fireballnded about 1000 meters from their base. It didn¡¯t hit directly, but the terrifying impact from the st instantly swept through the entire mountain.
Within moments, the mountain shook violently. Trees crashed down, and fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire mountain in a sea of mes.
The Hunting Church was directly thrown into chaos.
The next moment, bone fangs fell from the sky like raindrops. It was so dense it put rainfall to shame, and each bone fang was devastatingly lethal.
Just these two waves reduced the Hunting Church¡¯s forces by seventy to eighty percent.
Those who survived were seriously wounded.
Then, something even more terrifying happened. The sound of tiny bones colliding resonated in waves.
The entire Hunting Church waspletely surrounded.
At this moment, the church that lived by hunting, experienced what was called a high-level hunt and utter desperation of the prey.
Ironically, this high-level hunt came from their opposition, while they themselves were the most desperate prey in this hunt.
The entire church from top to bottom, everyone was immersed in despair.
No, there was one who wasn¡¯t.
This was the Pope of the Hunting Church.
The reason he wasn¡¯t entirely despaired was not that he thought he could withstand this wave of hunting.
He was very clear that he couldn¡¯t withstand this hunt.
Not just because of the enemy¡¯s assault, but also because his God sent a warning.
But he did notpletely despair.
Because, even though he couldn¡¯t survive, he still had his God.
So, in the face of this despair, he gave up struggling and resisting, and chose to sit down and pray instead.
¡°Pray? Praying for what? Praying for your God to save you?
Should I be afraid of you?¡±
Dean McKenzie let out a coldugh, waved his hand, brought along Doggy Two and the others running for a few hundred miles¡.
Chapter 345: Even if you have gone through seven turns, I will still kill God for you to see.
Chapter 345: Even if you have gone through seven turns, I will still kill God for you to see.
Apparently, regardless of what Dean McKenzie said, he was still panicked seeing the Pope of the Hunting Church praying.
After all, the churches in this world are different from those in Dean¡¯s previous world.
The churches of this world are supported by real gods.
Alien gods are gods too!
Dean didn¡¯t know much about gods as a species for the time being.
But it was certain that the gods were powerful.
Therefore, Dean decided to run first.
After all, if the god was summoned eventually, it would be kind ofte to try to escape then.
While running, Dean didn¡¯t forget to reach back and deliver a Bone Fang with doubled mana!
This Bone Fang pierced through several tens of kilometers and sted towards the Pope of the Hunting Church who was sitting and praying, while Dean was running out.
With a ¡°poot¡±, the praying Pope was pierced through the forehead.
At the same time, bone-chilling coldness broke out from the Bone Fang, turning everything within a one-to-two-kilometer radius around the Pope into a frigid world in an instant.
[You sessfully killed the Pope of the Hunting Church (Level 160) (Extraordinary)!]
¡°Dead, is he dead?
Is it that simple?¡±
Seeing this system prompt popping up before his eyes, the fleeing Dean was taken aback.
This smooth process was somewhat beyond his expectations.
That guy, Dean felt it was easier to kill him than a normal seven-turn.
However, when something is too easily obtained, sometimes it does not only make people take it for granted but also makes them feel insecure, especially with an uneasy heart.
¡°Could there be a trap?¡±
Dean didn¡¯t dare to go and inspect his spoils of war right away, but waited for a few hours several hundred kilometers away before remotely controlling his skeleton. Only after confirming that the Pope of the Hunting Church was really dead did he dare to approach.
Dean didn¡¯t dare to go himself and let his skeleton tidy up the spoils of war.
Get the stuff off the altar.
While the skeleton was tidying up the altar, Dean remained highly tense.
Honestly, if the goods on the altar weren¡¯t rted to whether Dean¡¯s Summon Skeleton could be level 4, he¡¯d consider leaving the things for a year and a half and pick them upter.
But there was no other way to deal with the present situation, so Dean braced himself and got the stuff.
However, after getting the stuff, Dean first dismantled the altar and let it chill for several days.
¡°The pope¡¯s gone cold, and the altar¡¯s been dismantled, so there shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?
Proceed!¡±
Dean thought, given how cautious he¡¯d been, there should not be any problem.
Therefore, Dean began.
However, as soon as Dean began, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.
[The spoils of the Mark of the Hunting God that you plundered, the Mark of the Hunting God haspulsorily invited you to the game, God Hunt!]
¡°What the hell!¡±
Dean¡¯s face turned dark, and then his vision went ck.
The next second, Dean opened his eyes and found himself in a huge forest.
At the same time, a system prompt popped up before Dean¡¯s eyes.
[You have entered the Hunting Ground of the God. In the next ten hours, you will be the prey of the god, so please run. As long as you can avoid the god¡¯s hunting, you will win the game from the god¡¯s hand!
and receive the god¡¯s gift!]
As soon as this system prompt popped up, Dean opened a small Gate of Bone. Old Four skillfully put the Guardian Shield on Dean.
Almost at the same time the Guardian Shield was put on him, an arrow hit Dean.
¡°Poot¡±
Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield was instantly prated, and the arrow went straight through Dean¡¯s thigh!
This arrow made Dean¡¯s scalp numb!
Not only because the terrifying power of this arrow easily prated the Guardian Shield, but because this arrowpletely bypassed Dean¡¯s Wild Intuition.
Under the arrow, Dean¡¯s Wild Intuition seemed to fail.
This arrow immediately made Dean face reality and realize the other party¡¯s power!
If that arrow hadn¡¯t aimed at his thigh but had hit him directly in the forehead, there was no doubt that he would have died as soon as the arrow came.
Faced with this level of opponent, Dean flew into the sky.
He activated his maxed-out Flight Skill and instantly reached an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, hoping to avoid the other party¡¯s arrows.
However, this seemed to have no effect at all.
After Dean soared to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, the other leg hurt again; an arrow hit his knee.
He couldn¡¯t see where the other party was, nor how the arrow came.
In any case, the arrow mysteriously appeared on Dean¡¯s body.
Dean had no choice but to flee at full speed.
No matter how he fled, no matter how he tried to reach his highest speed, an arrow would alwaysnd on him every once in a while.
First his two legs, then his two arms, buttocks, abdomen, shoulders¡
The other party seemed to be ying with Dean like a cat ying with a mouse.
And as the prey, Dean was panicking inside. After all, he was apparently facing a god-like existence now.
It seemed the other party could easily take his life with just one arrow.
In the face of this level of opponent, how could Dean not panic?
But panicking was useless, it wouldn¡¯t solve Dean¡¯s problem.
¡°Since there¡¯s no way to escape, I might as well face it!
But how am I supposed to face this kind of existence?¡±
Chapter 346: Even if you have gone through seven turns, I will still kill God for you to see.
Chapter 346: Even if you have gone through seven turns, I will still kill God for you to see.
I can¡¯t even see my opponent¡¯s presence?
What am I going to do?
What should I do?¡±
¡°Calm down, just think, there must be a way.
Since the Gate of Bone can still be used, why not use the Instance Escape
Method?¡±
Dean McKenzie quickly takes out the Goblin Uprising Instance, but it¡¯s of no
use.
The system disys
[You are currently in a special instance [God¡¯s Hunting Ground], you cannot use Instance Scrolls in this instance!]
Can¡¯t use it!
Dean McKenzie raises an eyebrow and begins to pull up the instance information for [God¡¯s Hunting Ground].
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, the instance information is instantly produced.
Instance: God¡¯s Hunting Ground
Instance Level: 140
Description: The god has extended an invitation to you, allowing you the honor of participating in god¡¯s hunting game.
In here, the projection of the god will apany you in a hunting game, please do your best tost at least 10 hours.
Looking at the simplistic information in front of him, Dean McKenzie squints. ¡°A level 140 instance, is this really the level an instance should be at level 140?¡± Dean McKenzie feels that even if a level 240 came, they probably wouldn¡¯t stand a chance, right?
¡°Phew¡±
Exactly, at this moment, Dean McKenzie is hit by another arrow.
This arrow was more terrifying than any of the previous ones, almost grazing
Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart. Had it been slightly to the left, it could¡¯ve punctured his heart.
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but feel chills down his spine and instinctively get up to run, but just as he was about to get up, Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand still.
¡°Damn it, what kind of god are you, just a cowardly rat, this is all you got, dare
to show up and watch me p you to death!!¡±
As soon as Dean mentoned this, the whole heaven felt quiet in an instant.
In an instant, five arrows fell on Dean McKenzie s body.
Then five more arrows, and then another five.
In a little while, Dean McKenzie waspletely turned into a human
hedgehog.
But upon bing a hedgehog, Dean McKenzie actuallyughed.
¡°You¡¯ve shown your weakness!
You dare not kill me!
As a high and mighty god who¡¯s been insulted by this lowly grass-like existence like this, as a god, you should either ignore me or crush me with your finger.
But you didn¡¯t respond in either of these two ways, instead continuously tormenting me with arrows.
By doing this, you¡¯re just venting your anger.
But do you know, your actions only make you seem primitive, very angry!
If you¡¯re so angry, why don¡¯t you kill me directly, there are only a few possibilities.
Either your attacks, although 100% urate, can¡¯t aim at my vital points.
Or you¡¯re being cautious about something, making you afraid to kill me.
Are you, are you worried about this?¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he took out [Mark of The Immortals].
¡°Pfft!¡±
The hand Dean McKenzie used to take out the [Mark of The Immortals] was pierced by an arrow, but a smile appeared on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face.
¡°I admit that I gambled, but it seems that I gambled correctly, and you really are cautious about this thing.
As a god, being cautious about this thing, it¡¯s quite unexpected.
Oh yes, this is [God¡¯s Hunting Ground], although it¡¯s your game, your real body isn¡¯t in this world, so you should have to follow some basicws to use your powers.
In this instance, your projection strength definitely isn¡¯t strong.
Greater than Seven-turn is not there?
I don¡¯t think so, it probably only has Six-turn strength¡
Before Dean McKenzie had finished speaking, another bunch of arrows appeared, blowing up Dean McKenzie¡¯s tongue.
So far, the number of arrows on Dean McKenzie¡¯s body has exceeded a hundred, and the wounds from the hundreds of arrows have caused Dean McKenzie¡¯s blood to flow all over the ce, but at this moment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s face was full of smiles.
He instantly activated the recovery effect of the [Physique Enhancement] trait.
With this effect activated, Dean McKenzie¡¯s status instantly returned to its peak.
At the same time, a smile formed on Dean McKenzie¡¯s face: ¡°It seems that I guessed correctly, your strength hasn¡¯t reached Seven-turn, but since your strength hasn¡¯t reached Seven-turn, I can only regret to tell you!
Now, you are the prey!
Under Seven-turn, even if you¡¯re a god, I¡¯ll kill right in front of you!
As Dean McKenzie spoke, he spread his arms and chanted a skill that he had never used after reaching the fifth-turn.
¡°Using the body of a mortal, master the power of death.
Open the door of the wraiths, summon the power of death, let the world before my eyes be a paradise for the dead!
¡°Wraith! Scourge!¡±
As Dean McKenzie began to chant, the mana inside his body depleted by 500 million.
The level 3 wraith scourge, which had never been used, erupted at once. Within a fifteen-kilometer radius around him, all nts withered, and countless wraiths poured out.
In less than three seconds, Dean McKenzie had shaped a wraith paradise.
Skill: Wraith Scourge
Level: 3rd level (0/50 million)
Skill cost: 500 million mana/sacrificing souls.
Skill effect: Turns a 15-mile area into a wraith paradise, summoning arge number of wraiths, while increasing his own wraith attributes by seven hundred percent and skill effect by seventy percent within the area.
Reduces the base attributes by seventy percent and skill effect by thirty percent of non-wraith units in the area.
The level 3 wraith scourge was incredibly cool. But when Dean McKenzie activated the wraith scourge, his real goal was to destroy the forest below!
As the forest was transformed into a wraith paradise, the arrows that could have easily pierced Dean McKenzie were halted.
A smile once again crept up at the corner of Dean McKenzie¡¯s mouth.
¡°As I thought, the arrowsnding directly on me is conditional, and the forest beneath my feet is the foundation,¡± Dean said.
Just as Dean McKenzie spoke, an arrow shot from the forest in his direction. But this arrow was not as unreasonably directly hitting Dean McKenzie as before.
This kind of arrow did no harm to Dean McKenzie.
mmed onto Dean McKenzie, it was directly blocked by his outeryer of Bone Armor.
Looking at the arrow that was easily deflected by himself, Dean McKenzie confirmed his spection once again.
¡°Indeed, as long as it doesn¡¯t exceed the seventh-turn, I¡¯m not afraid even if the opponent is a god!¡±
As he spoke, Dean McKenzie grabbed the Holy Light Sword with one hand and unleashed The Wrath of the Lich King with the other.
His gaze fell in the direction where the arrow had been fired.
¡°Mark of the Hunting God? Ever been beaten?¡± Dean asked.
As Dean spoke, all of his Netherworld Skeleton Mages appeared, and the wraiths in the scourge area started to roar andunch a crazy attack outside the scourge region.
Simultaneously, a series of huge meteorites rained down from the sky. Each time a meteorite fell, it would make the whole forest shudder.
The Netherworld mes spread out unabated.
In less than an hour, the whole hunting area had turned into ruins.
Dean finally saw the shadow of the Mark of the Hunting God.
To be precise, it was the projection of the Mark of the Hunting God. To his surprise, the Mark of the Hunting God was actually a female.
She was wearing a set of green leather armor, with a pair of pointed ears, perfect body proportions and exquisitely beautiful facial features, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
At the same time, her attributes appeared before Dean¡¯s eyes.
Name: Projection of the Mark of the Hunting God
Temte: Demigod
Level: 140
Trait: God¡¯s Hunting Ground (fake) (SSS) (Designate a hunting area. As long as the prey is within the hunting ground, arrows can ignore all opposing skills and characteristics, ignore the distance and directly hit the opponent.) Attributes:
Strength: 5.5 million, Agility: 7-2 million, Physique: 4 8 million, Spirit: 3 8 million
Attack: 210 million
Defense: 96 million
Equipment: Sealed
Skill: Sealed
Looking at these attributes, Dean¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly.
¡°It seems that the greatest limitation of this hunting game is actually on you. In a way, my victory won¡¯t be due to my superior skills. But it¡¯s you who insists on delivering your life to me. I can¡¯t help it!¡± Dean said, preparing to take her away with Bone Fang.
But even before the Bone Fangunched, his Wild Intuition sent a strong premonition of danger.
This time, if Dean acted, he would die!
At the same time, the figure of the Mark of the Hunting God¡¯s projection shimmered with the glow of transformation, and her voice resonated for the first time, ¡°You are the most ignorant and cocky human I¡¯ve ever seen.. You can kill gods below the seventh-turn? Come on, this is my power at the sixth-turn, try killing me and show me!¡±
Chapter 347: 201 Slayer of Gods Title
Chapter 347: 201 yer of Gods Title
Hunting Ground of the Gods.
As shepleted her transformation into the [Mark of the Hunting God], her attribute points underwent a startling change.
Name: Projection of the Hunting God
Temte: Demigod
Level: 140
Trait: Saintly Hunter ¨C Wound (S) (Passive: Locks onto prey, increases damage output to prey faction by fiftyfold, ignores advanced traits)
Saintly Hunter ¨C Speed (S) (Passive: Speed increases thirtyfold when hunting prey, passive evasion increases to ny-nine percent, ignoring advanced traits and all control skill traits below the legendary level!)
Attribute points:
Strength: 3.5 million, Agility: 4.2 million, Physique: 2.8 million, Spirit: 1.8 million
Attack: 75 million
Defense: 56 million
Equipment: Saint¡¯s Hunting Set (Dark Gold) (Level 140)
Skill: Precise Shot (Max Level), Critical Strike (Max Level), Multiple Shot (Max Level)
The power disyed before your eyes is the peak strength of a god remined from her memory of her six-turn self.
Looking solely at the four-dimensional attribute points, the opponent¡¯s strength has undoubtedly diminished.
Even her trait has fallen from SSS-level to S-level.
However, battle effectiveness isn¡¯t only determined by these four dimensions. Also, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t believe that dropping from SSS-level to S-level weakens the opponent. On the contrary, it strengthens them.
As such, the opponent shot an arrow immediately afterpleting her transformation.
The next second, a rain of green arrows fell from the sky, wiping out a small portion of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Scourge.
Simultaneously, the Hunting God sprung into action.
With incredible speed, she moved in a circr pattern, firing arrows continuously.
Each arrow contained an attack power exceeding 30 billion.
Whether they were skeletons or wraiths, none of Dean McKenzie¡¯s front-line forces could withstand such an attack. They were killed instantly in droves.
Although the feeling of crisis dissipated when the opponentpleted her transformation,
the problem now was that Dean McKenzie could not hit her at all.
Her speed had increased by a factor of fifty, making her movements unbelievable. Additionally, she had a ny-nine percent chance to evade attacks.
Dean McKenzie tried to use area-of-effect attacks.
However, even though the area-of-effect attack supposedly confined a region, the opponent was standing right in Dean McKenzie¡¯s area of attack, unaffected.
This Hunting God waspletely unabashed in showcasing her formidable strength from her six-turn period.
Dean McKenzie had to admit, the opponent¡¯s power was awe-inspiring.
If things continued as they were, it wouldn¡¯t take long for Dean McKenzie to crumble.
Despite having the [Blessing of the Undying], the opponent might not be able to kill him. Moreover, given her reduced force, Old Four might be able to handle her attacks, so Dean McKenzie could potentially oust this so-called game.
But he didn¡¯t want such an oue!
¡°I¡¯ve made a ruthless deration. I will kill this god!¡±
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, focusing his gaze away from the Hunting God and onto the Land of Bone. He reached for the offerings of the Hunting God that he¡¯d just acquired. These were also the final temtes he owned. Dean McKenzie began a frenzied summoning!
[You used an Excellent Temte to summon a {Powerful Skeleton Warrior} (Level 140), gaining 250 Summon Skeleton skill proficiency level!]
[You used a Rare Temte to summon an {Ultra Powerful Skeleton Warrior} (Level 140), gaining 2,500 Summon Skeleton skill proficiency level!]
[You used a Perfect Temte to summon a {Spectral Skeleton Warrior} (Level 140), gaining 25,000 Summon Skeleton skill proficiency level!]
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s continuous frenzied summoning, his [Summon Skeleton] skill proficiency level continually increased.
At the same time, the Hunting God noticed something amiss.
In response to her attack, Dean McKenzie appeared too calm.
Such silence definitely meant he was up to something!
As for this arrogant and ignorant human, the Projection of the Hunting God remained exceedingly cautious.
Thus, she made her move towards Dean McKenzie at once, intending to foil whatever he was silently nning.
The Hunting God lunged directly into Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Scourge.
As soon as she entered the Wraith Scourge territory, the Hunting God¡¯s base attribute points decreased by thirty percent. Although it wasn¡¯t a full decrease, a decrease of thirty percent was terrifying nheless.
It was a decrease of her base attribute points. A decrease of thirty percent led to a decrease in her base speed by a factor of fifteen.
Her speed in the Wraith Scourge noticeably slowed down.
However, she was still staggeringly powerful within the Wraith Scourge. The wraiths within Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Scourge were still unable to halt her advance.
She reached Dean McKenzie in under three minutes.
Drawing her bow, she shot an arrow at Dean McKenzie.
¡°Ding!¡±
Her arrow was directly deflected by Dean McKenzie.
The Guardian Shield that Dean McKenzie wore activated at that moment. The shield¡¯s owner activated the defense enhancement, increasing his defense by fifteenfold.
Under such a high level of defense, even the basic attacks of the mighty Hunting God struggled to make an impact.
¡°Impressive defense, but it won¡¯t save you!¡±
Saying this, the Hunting God drew her bow and released another arrow.
This arrow seemed ordinary. A sh of green light glinted on the arrow shaft, and in an instant, itnded on Dean McKenzie.
¡°Crack¡± went the sound.
The moment the arrownded, Old Four¡¯s [Guardian Shield] shattered once again. However, a thickyer of earth elements rose from Dean McKenzie¡¯s body to shield him from the arrow..
Chapter 348: 201 Slayer of Gods Title _2
Chapter 348: 201 yer of Gods Title _2
At the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s system prompt started refreshing.
[You get 25,000 Summon Skeleton expertise, your skill [Summon Skeleton](Sublimation) is upgraded to level 4!]
Along with this system prompt, in Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone, 200 skeletons hanging on [Summon Skeleton] had a level leap instantly.
Directly from level 140 to level 141!
Even the weakest of Dean McKenzie¡¯s 200 skeletons got their attributes increased 20 times with just a level difference. The most exaggerated one was Old Two, which improved by 50 times!
Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes opened at this moment, and with a smirk on his face, he looked at the nearby exquisitely surprising God of the Hunt, and said, ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting, let¡¯s continue.
I shall fulfill my promise, Under a seventh turn, a god will be killed for you to witness!¡±
While speaking, Dean snapped his fingers softly.
With a snap, 200 seven-turn skeletons who were of the perfect quality at least from Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone appeared around him.
Seeing the 200 seven-turn skeletons that appeared around her in a sh, the God of the Hunt was visibly stunned.
She hadn¡¯t expected this.
Looking at the 200 seven-turn skeletons around her, and considering Dean¡¯s confident smile, the God of the Hunt recovered her surprise.
¡°Is this your reliance?
The reliance that allows you to utter such foolish words, since that is the case,
I will destroy your reliance and see if you can still utter such arrogant ignorant¡¡±
The God of the Hunt hadn¡¯t finished her words when a ghostly huge hand grabbed her.
Standing in ce, the sky-covering hand directly missed her, and the 99% evasion rate grabbed an arrow from his hand towards the skeleton that struck.
This arrow made Dean sweat cold. He quickly dodged to hug Old Six and shield it from the arrow.
¡°Who told you to join the fun? You go back for me!¡±
Having finished, Dean quickly sent Old Six back.
He can¡¯t lose this ancestor.
While Dean was sending Old Six back, on the other hand, Old Eight had already sneakily reached the side of the God of the Hunt, a forced flicker.
[MISS]
The other party dodged the critical attack again and even counterattacked Old Eight with an arrow.
Old Eight hurriedly entered the Strong Stealth state, but the invincibility effect onlysted for 0.3 seconds. Old Eight could only ensure not dying under the arrow, but the skeleton was still sted.
The God of the Hunt raised her hand and shoot another arrow to take Old Eight away.
At this time, a figure glowing with the holy light of Hell shed with her.
[miss]
The despairing evasion appeared again, Old Seven did not hit the opponent, but sessfully saved Old Eight.
The God of the Hunt was about to pursue when a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
The moment this figure appeared behind the God of the Hunt, her movement couldn¡¯t help but pause.
Because at this moment, what appeared behind her was an absolute variant monster!
Name: Dragon Bone Skeleton Prime Lord with Perfect Qualities (Doggy Two)
Level: 141
Temte: Extraordinary
Lord Trait: Bone King (A-grade)
Dragon Bone Body (A)
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Property: Basic
Strength: 52 million, Agility: 14.5 million, Physique: 900
Spirit: 9 million
Attack: 260 billion
Defense: 45 billion
Spirit Power: 750 billion
These are Doggy Two¡¯s basic properties, which are so strong that they cause despair just by being basic.
Not to mention, Doggy Two at this moment has triggered Bone Eruption, Bone King, and the Bone Throne!
Its properties now have increased by 700 percent!
The reason it¡¯s increased by 700 percent is that Bone Eruption can only increase Doggy Two¡¯s all attributes by too percent after Doggy Two reaches the seventh order.
The skill has weakened.
But even so, Doggy Two¡¯s current attributes still induced despair in people.
In front of Doggy Two¡¯s soaring 810 million Agility points, the Hunting God¡¯s agility was no longer an advantage.
However, the despairing 99% evasion of the opponent persisted. When Doggy Two¡¯s attacknded on him, the extraordinary Anti-Magic Attack could only reduce the Hunting God¡¯s evasion to 70%, which was still incredibly terrifying.
But as long it wasn¡¯t 100%, it wasn¡¯t an absolutely invincible entity.
Doggy Two directly clung to his opponent, throwing punches incessantly. If one hit missed, he would strike ten, if ten missed, he would strike a hundred. The Hunting God could dodge countless times, but a single hit was enough to wound her.
The Hunting God fully understood her predicament. Therefore, when Doggy Two emerged, she fully exploded with speed, targeting the two hundred skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand.
She seemed to have made up her mind to obliterate all two hundred skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand.
Under her relentless attacks, the number of Dean McKenzie¡¯s 200 perfect quality skeletons was rapidly decreasing, and within a minute, she has killed thirty to forty of them.
This even included Doggy Three, carefully nurtured by Dean McKenzie.
Moreover, being killed by the Hunting God, the Undying trait of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Summon Skeleton had no chance to take effect.
When they were dead, they were dead!
This made Dean McKenzie extremely distressed.
Fortunately, in the second minute, after Doggy Two delivered countless attacks, one finally hit the opponent.
In the moment about to be hit, the Hunting God seemed to realize her situation. For the first time, she aimed at Dean McKenzie, the bow and arrow in her hand also pointed at him for the first time.
She drew her bow and set an arrow!
¡°Phew!¡±
Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Sword hit the Hunting God. In an instant, her Hunting Set exploded, her body burst into a mist of blood, and the arrow in the Hunting God¡¯s hand was released.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s scalp went numb. Old Four immediately put the Guardian Shield on Dean McKenzie and reopened Defense Strengthen.
With a pouring sound, Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart was still prated.
He almost died of hatred on the spot!
Fortunately, the opponent died faster than Dean McKenzie. Under Doggy Two¡¯s full-blown eight-fold attack of about 250 billion, the Hunting God exploded after toughing it out for a little over a second.
At the same time, the arrow that almost killed Dean McKenzie disappeared instantly, while the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes updated.
[You sessfully slew [the Projection of the Hunting God] andpleted the [Side Game of God¡¯s Hunt]!]
[You sessfully killed [the Projection of the Hunting God], and you received a God yer Treasure Chest!]
[You slew the projection of a god and earned the title [God yer] (SSS) (False)!]
Amid the continuous system prompts, Dean McKenzie found an additional virtual title on himself. He clicked on it subconsciously, and the attributes of this title appeared before his eyes.
Trait: ughter God (False)
Level: SSS-Level
Description: This is proof of being a God yer. Although you are only a fake God yer, it still brings you great benefits.
Effects: Once equipped, you and your direct subordinates will ignore [Intermediate][Senior][Saint][Semi-divine] levels and will be able to inflict total damage on the target.
Your damage value against the Gods increases by too times,
At the same time, you will be despised by all the gods and their followers, so please don¡¯t sh it around. Otherwise, you will be hunted by all gods and their followers!
Would you like to wear it: Yes/No
Looking at the attributes in front of him, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp in awe.
Undoubtedly, the effects of this title were terrifying.
As long as Dean McKenzie equipped this title, he would have the capital to transcend levels, no, to easily defeat higher-level opponents.
Without this title, Dean McKenzie could already easily defeat seven-turn creatures as if he were ughtering dogs. With it on, he felt ying with eight-turn creatures wouldn¡¯t be a big problem.
What¡¯s more terrifying is Old Two. Its attributes were already extremely terrifying.
If Dean McKenzie equipped this trait, he couldn¡¯t even imagine how powerful it would be.
However, although this title was terrifyingly effective, it equally carried terrifying consequences.
Once revealed, it¡¯s best if there were no devotees of the gods in the vicinity.
Otherwise, Dean McKenzie estimated that he would be hunted by the gods to heaven and to hell, with nowhere to hide.
¡°A mere six-turn Hunting God is already so powerful. She almost took me away before leaving. If she were a real god, I guess a finger could end me. As much as I can, I won¡¯t use this thing!¡±
Honestly, although he won, Dean McKenzie¡¯s fear of the gods only increased, not diminished.
If possible, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t even want to win this dungeon.
After all, winning this dungeon and being targeted by a goddess was definitely not a profitable business.
Of course, this thought onlysted until the calction of the dungeon reward.
When the system prompt refreshed again, Dean McKenzie suddenly felt that it didn¡¯t seem so bad to offend a Hunting God¡.
Chapter 349: 202 The first legendary template skeleton
Chapter 349: 202 The first legendary temte skeleton
[You havepleted the God Hunt Instance, your instance evaluation is
SSS-levell]
[You have received the following rewards: 1. Get one Divine Artifact Core Fragment2. Get one Divine Attribute]
[You opened the[God yer Treasure Chest], and obtained the equipment [Bow of Hunting]]
Apanied by the system prompts, Dean McKenzie has taken all the rewards he received for killing the Hunting God.
He could now see the attributes of three items.
Name: Divine Artifact Core Fragment
Description: once ten pieces of the Divine Artifact Core Fragment are gathered, you can upgrade a specific piece of equipment into an artifact.
ps: A Divine Artifact Core Fragment can be used individually or cumtively
Name: Divine Attribute (Hunting God)
Description: using this Divine Attribute can gain one ability, trait, talent, or skill of the Hunting God!
Equipment: Bow of Hunting
Quality: Dark Gold
Level: changes with the strength of the owner
Requirements: The Divine Attribute of the Hunting God
Effects: will generate effects ording to the owner¡¯s ability.
Looking at the attributes of these three, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise.
Without a doubt, each of these three things was precious, maybe even surpassing anything Dean McKenzie had obtained so far.
¡°Is it really fair to get such powerful stuff just by passing a single instance?
Is there no problem?¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but worry.
At the same time when his worry arose, Dean McKenzie¡¯s palm suddenly became hot.
Next, Dean McKenzie saw the appearance of a verdant arrow in his palm.
At the same time, when Dean McKenzie looked at the image, the attribute of this image appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Name: Mark of the Hunting God
Description: This is the mark of the Hunting God for the prey. As long as you carry this mark, your seven-turn promotion quest object must be encountering the seven-turn Hunting God!
Looking at these attribute introductions, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow, and a smile appeared on his face immediately.
¡°That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t it? If I didn¡¯t have this thing, I wouldn¡¯t feel secure with these rewards.
Simply can¡¯t ept the loss and want to fight again?
I have already annihted you once. What could I possibly fear from you?¡±
¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I haven¡¯t passed the Goblin Uprising instance yet, I would practice with you now to test the effect of this God yer title!¡±
After saying this, Dean McKenzie quietly dismissed his thoughts of hitting seven-turn again for the time being.
Dean McKenzie would never think that he was invincible in the world after he had annihted a six-turn projection of the Hunting God.
He knew how difficult that fight was.
But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t know to what extent the Hunting God¡¯s strength was cut in that fight.
Who knows how terrifying her seven-turn strength could be?
So far, arge piece of Dean McKenzie¡¯s heart is still missing. If it weren¡¯t for having nearly ten million physique, an ordinary Necromancer might have already died countless times.
In short, before reaching the peak of his strength, Dean McKenzie is not nning for seven-turn promotion.
Anyway, his minions have all hit seven-turn, which is almost the same as if he had hit seven-turn too.
Shifting his gaze from the mark in his hand, Dean McKenzie looked at the brutal wound on his chest. After making sure that he wouldn¡¯t recover anytime soon, he took advantage of the instance and digested all these rewards.
[You have used the[Divine Artifact Core Fragment]on[Fury of the Lich King]!]
[Your equipment[Fury of the Lich King]has metamorphosized and evolved into the[Endless Corpse Explosion Staff] (Dark Gold) !]
[You have used afDivine Attribute]on your Wraith ServantfDoggy Six]!]
[Your Wraith Servant[Doggy Six]sessfully devoured the Divine Attribute, and its temte has evolved into a Legendary Temte]
[Your Wraith Servant!Doggy Six] gained the Trait[God¡¯s Arrow]!]
[Your Wraith Servant!Doggy Six] obtained the recognition of the weapon [Bow of Hunting]!]
Through numerous prompts, Dean McKenzie sessfullypletely digested the rewards this time.
The[Fury of the Lich King]in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand also evolved into a brand new magic wand at this moment, and the properties of the wand also underwent earth-shaking changes.
Equipment:Endless Corpse Explosion Staff (1/10)
Equipment Quality: Dark Gold
Equipment Level: 140-Level (increases with the master¡¯s level)
Effect 1: Reduces the consumption of the Corpse Explosion Skill to one percent, and increases the effectiveness of the Corpse Explosion Skill by a hundred times
Effect 2: Corpse Explosion Mystery (passively increases the Corpse Explosion Skill level by 5, and actively increases the Corpse Explosion Skill level by 15)
Effect 3: Endless Corpse Explosion (once activated, you can explode all the corpses within a 5,000 meters range. For every additional too corpses in the range, all Corpse Explosion Damage range increases by five hundred percent, damage increases by one hundred percent, Absolute Hit increases by one percent)
Effect 4: Master of the Staff (when using this staff to activate the Corpse Explosion Skill, you can be immune to the damage of the Corpse Explosion Skill!)
These attributes were simply mind-blowing.
Completely discarding any other attribute skills except for Corpse Explosion, if this equipment were to focus on anything, it¡¯s Corpse Explosion.
This led directly to the fact that this piece of equipment was aplete artifact in terms of Corpse Explosion.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw this attribute, he clung to it tightly.
With this in his hand, if he was to fight the Hunting God again, this time he would definitely not hesitate.
After all, he might not have anything else, but the Land of Bone definitely had the most corpses that would create the most destructive oue once they exploded with a single shot, sufficient to send off the Hunting God.
Of course, it has to be the six-turn Hunting God. He has yet to see what a seven-turn one would be like..
Chapter 350: 202 The First Legendary Template
Chapter 350: 202 The First Legendary Temte
Skeleton_2
Dean McKenzie found the attributes of the Endless Corpse Explosion Staff
quite magnificent in front of him, butpared with Old Nine¡¯s transformation, the staff seemed ordinary.
Name: Strange Luck Skeleton Archer Possessing God¡¯s Arrow (Old Nine)
Temte: Legendary
Level: 141
Traits: Lucky Crossbow (S-Level) (Your attack will be influenced by your luck, which will multiply your damage by anything from too to 1500.)
Arrow of Despair (S-Level) (After killing your target with an arrow, there is a chance to obtain their despair, which then empowers your subsequent arrows.)
God¡¯s Arrow (SS Level) (When activated, the arrow will be fused with the power of God, leading to the sublimation of the skill used.)
Divine Creature (Not Activated)
Special Properties: Advanced
Attribute Points:
Strength: 18 million, Agility: 21 million, Physique: 12 million, Spirit: 12 million
Attack: 3.6 billion
Defense: 240 million
Spirit Power: 1.5 billion
Equipment: Bow of Hunting
Quality: Dark Gold
Level: 141 (Can be increased along with the owner¡¯s level)
Owner: Old Nine
Effect 1: Basic strength, agility, and attack increase by 500%
Effect 2: All bow and arrow skills are automatically raised by 5 levels
Effect 3: Absolute Hit (SS Level) (Traits and skills not exceeding SS level will not be able to dodge this arrow.)
(Cool down time one day)
With this temte and this equipment, Old Nine¡¯s strength was instantly enhanced to an epic level.
The battle power was in no way inferior to Old Two.
Seeing this, Old Eight was devastated.
He was the one who came first, he was the hardest working skeleton under the owner. How did other skeletons climb above his head in terms of strength?
Old Two¡¯s power was tremendous, and that was fair enough. But now, even Old Two¡¯s firm supporter, Old Nine, was turning freakish. Did Old Eight have any chance left to excel?
As Old Eight was feeling lost, he suddenly noticed that Old Nine, who had just evolved, cast a nce at Old Two.
With just a single nce, Old Eight was instantly rmed.
He recognized that look. Ny-nine percent of it was the gleam of rebellion.
At this moment, Old Eight was overjoyed.
He thought that Old Nine was a steadfast follower of Old Two. It turned out that, like himself, Old Nine was also full of rebellion.
Meanwhile, Doggy Two also noticed that Old Nine¡¯s Pupil Fire was somewhat strange after evolution.
The same gleam Old Two recognized was in the eyes of Old Seven, Old Eight, and the already disappointed Old Three.
Why did Old Nine turn out like this as well?
Thus, Old Two was immediately dispirited. Is the world still getting any better?
Why are all his little brothers full of rebellion?
Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t notice these subtle eye contacts between his skeletal minions. After Old Nine¡¯s evolution, he opened the gate of the bone to take all the skeletons back.
Once the skeletons were summoned back, Dean McKenzie frowned.
¡°Can¡¯t collect them all?¡±
More precisely, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t take all the Seven-turn Skeletons back.
After all, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone was at the intermediate three-star level, a six-turn level. So far, he could only hold up to too Seven-turn Skeletons at most.
Currently, Dean McKenzie had a total of 132 Seven-turn Skeletons left, meaning 32 of them could not be fitted into the Land of Bone.
¡°Looks like it¡¯s urgent to upgrade the Land of Bone again!
With a frown, Dean McKenzie collected the skeletons into the Land of Bone, leaving behind 32 death-dealing skeleton knights.
If he couldn¡¯t fit them all in, Dean McKenzie decided to just send them out.
¡ö¡öLet¡¯s see how far the Seven-turn Skeletons can go from me now!¡± Dean McKenzie spoke and pulled Carney in through the Gate of Bone. He threw an alliance map at him and told him to discreetly take this group of skeleton knights to Thorn Oak City.
After assigning the task, Dean McKenzie flew away immediately, leaving Carney holding the map. As he turned around to see the 32 skeleton knights with an intimidating aura, he waspletely stunned!
Dean McKenzie returned to Albany immediately.
His heart injury was indeed quite serious, and Dean had to deal with it right away.
Without treatment, he estimated that it would take a year and a half to heal on its own. Who would willingly carry such an injury for so long?
Thus, upon his return to Albany, he immediately found Sean Hawkins.
He had Sean open the Rouge warehouse and look for items that could heal him. Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t find any suitable items in the Rouge warehouse. In the end, they had to make Sean request for a potion from the Alliance.
In Anta, Bruce Hodge¡¯s office.
Upon receiving the news of Sean¡¯s request, he had a rather peculiar reaction: ¡°The kid got seriously injured and retreated. He managed to challenge a Hunting Church, which presumably has tested his strength.
He must have seven-turn strength at most. That s it!
This fish is pretty basic!¡±
Hearing that Dean McKenzie was injured, Bruce Hodge seemed rather unhappy.
¡°I was prepared for a big challenge, but he doesn¡¯t seem capable of stirring up any big changes.
With just this level of capability, it will be hard to sell him at a high price.¡± ¡°Chairman, isn¡¯t it impressive enough to destroy a church with seven-turn strength?
Moreover, the church he destroyed has a foreign God behind it. The wound on him could¡¯ve been inflicted by that God.¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t understand!¡± Bruce Hodge shook his head: ¡°Foreign Gods are powerful, but they aren¡¯t omnipotent. Due to the existing rules, they can¡¯t directly enter our world. Even if a church is destroyed, there¡¯s not much they can do.
If the conditions aren¡¯t met, they can¡¯t do anything.
Clearly, this time the God of Hunting didn¡¯t do anything!
¡°Are you so sure?¡±
¡°Yes, if the God of Hunting had taken action, he would¡¯ve undoubtedly died. Never underestimate the power of a God.
Even if there are existing rules, even if they can¡¯t give it their all.
They are not beings that mere humans can resist.
If the wound on him was indeed inflicted by a God, it would be his lifelong glory. However, those who can receive such honor are not our rivals.
That would be a fish, a fish that could break our big teeth.
Sadly, he is not!¡±
Bruce Hodge said as he takes out a sketch.
It was prepared by his men who had nced at Dean McKenzie from a distance in Rouge.
As soon as he saw this sketch, Bruce Hodge identified Dean McKenzie. Isn¡¯t this the Necromancer Mage Apprentice he let go half a year ago? ¡°You may not believe it. He had an Excellent temte at one-turn more than half a year ago,
and he¡¯s grown enough to resist a God of the same level in just over half a year? It¡¯s preposterous, but that¡¯s precisely what happened!¡± His secretary raised an eyebrow: ¡°Do you know him, Chairman?
Bruce Hodge nodded: ¡°Yes, half a year ago, Ennis Hawkins pleaded for him, and he escaped from my hands!¡±
¡°In that case, you¡¯re very familiar with him! We should be able to win him over this time!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not quite that simple.¡±
Bruce Hodge paused and continued, ¡°You won¡¯t believe it. He had an Excellent temte at one-turn just over half a year ago.¡±
¡°What?¡±
The Secretary was surprised: ¡°How is this possible? In just over half a year, he¡¯s grown from one-turn to being able to confront, even destroy, a seven-turn existence. This is simply¡¡±
¡°Unbelievable, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Bruce Hodge raised an eyebrow: ¡°It¡¯s not that easy to achieve such a miracle. In addition to secrets and talents, you also need power!
ording to our understanding, Ennis Hawkins does have such power behind him.
Without a doubt, this kid has grown under the influence of this power over the past half a year. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have made so much progress in such a short time.¡±
¡°Are you saying he has a power behind him?
But he doesn¡¯t seem to have that kind of strength. If he did, he wouldn¡¯t have had to investigate Ennis Hawkins with our Business Association!¡±
¡°What if they did it on purpose?¡±
The Secretary was taken back.¡±
Bruce Hodge, turning his head to the window, looked wise.
¡°It seems that my decision to let him go back then was correct. Had I not let him go then, we wouldn¡¯t have gained such a big fish today!¡±
Chapter 351: 203 Start Working
Chapter 351: 203 Start Working
Anta, Thorn Oak City.
Early dawn, an incident that stunned Thorn Oak City erupted in the skies above the city.
Deputy President Ennis Hawkins of Thorn Oak City colluded with the Evil Cultist, intending to sacrifice Thorn Oak City and unlock the pathway to Thorn Oak City. He was caught red-handed with irrefutable evidence, he¡¯ll be executed in five days!
This news left the citizens of Thorn Oak City dumbfounded.
Who?
Deputy President Ennis Hawkins colluded with the Evil Cultist to sacrifice Thorn Oak City?
The first reaction of any resident of Thorn Oak City upon hearing this news was disbelief.
Everyone thought that there must be some misunderstanding.
That¡¯s Ennis Hawkins!
How could he possibly do such a thing?
In just half a year, he had increased the safety index of Thorn Oak City by a dozen percentage points, transforming Thorn Oak City into a whole new ce.
Many had personally witnessed Ennis dedicating all his heart and soul to Thorn Oak City over the past six months.
Anyone who had met or worked with Ennis would not believe it.
Even if the authorities of Thorn Oak City presented so-called evidence, they could not convince the public.
The public knew what Thorn Oak City was like before Ennis arrived, and whenpared to the so-called evidence put forth by the authorities, they preferred to believe that Ennis had been wronged.
But whether they believed it or not, it couldn¡¯t change the situation.
Their opinion couldn¡¯t influence anything.
The authorities, under Bruce Hodge, didn¡¯t care about their feelings.
They didn¡¯t care whether they believed or not, tossed out the evidence casually, and directly captured Ennis, imprisoning him in Thorn Oak City¡¯s jail.
On the day Ennis was captured, Sean Hawkins, the President of Rouge, promptly ryed the news to Dean McKenzie.
Hearing it, Dean narrowed his eyes.
Dean knew clearly, the other side gave him no chance to recover, and was forcing him to hasten to Thorn Oak City within five days.
¡°So impatient?
Alright, I¡¯ll do as you wish!¡±
Dean departed that day, heading to Thorn Oak City.
And not only Dean set off for Thorn Oak City that day, but the news also reached more than just Dean.
Anthony had many connections.
Although they all knew Anthony was in a difficult situation before, they were all in wait-and-see mode since they haven¡¯t torn their faces yet. Now that this had happened, they couldn¡¯t sit still anymore.
A massive number of people started rushing towards Thorn Oak City.
This included the mysterious Mrs. Hawkins and a twin-tailed girl with a war hammer by her side from before.
Further, the only one left that Dean knew was Donald Morgan.
Donald Morgan, or Dawn Organization, who also got wind of this news, definitely would not ignore it.
After all, Anthony was their spiritual leader.
The 13 elders of Dawn were, more or less, all influenced by Ennis during their growth, so no matter what, they must rescue Ennis.
For a moment, the whole of Anta was in an uproar because of one man, Ennis Hawkins.
¡°President, ording to the information we currently have, Dean has already set off the moment he got the news.
Apart from that, the people we were monitoring, nine out of ten have already arrived, and the remaining one is in the shaky phase.¡±
In Anta, in Bruce Hodge¡¯s office.
While the secretary was reporting to Bruce Hodge, his face and brow were marked with unsolvable worries.
Although they had anticipated a bigmotion if they truly took action against Ennis, and had mentally prepared themselves for it.
However, when they began to act, they were still surprised.
They had just taken action, and in less than a day, it was like a thunderp had erupted underwater.
The entire surface was in turmoil, with an array of terrifying figures flocking to it.
He was a bit worried that Bruce might not be able to handle this huge stir.
Meanwhile, Bruce saw through the secretary¡¯s worries at just one nce and confidently said, ¡°The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish!
Rest assured, since I dared to act, there is no possibility of failure!
Prepare the, let them force themselves in!¡±
Meanwhile, on the other side, Dawn Organization¡¯s online meeting was also in progress.
The theme of this meeting was undoubtedly to rescue Anthony.
¡°Damn it, why does it have to be these few days!¡±
An angry female voice rang out: ¡°For these few days, the Chief is busy clearing the subcopies, he cannot possiblye out, out of the thirteen of us, only I, Elder Eight, and Thirteen can take action!¡±
A confident voice replied: ¡°The three of us should be just about enough!
You and I have both undergone the Seven-turn, Thirteen also hasbat power of Seven-turn, surely the three of us can¡¯t rescue Anthony from Thorn Oak City?¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not that simple!¡±
Donald Morgan¡¯s voice, sounding helpless and worrisome, rang out: ¡°I¡¯ve been investigating Bruce Hodge in thest half year. I couldn¡¯t dig up much, but from what I¡¯ve gathered, he doesn¡¯t do things he has no confidence in.
He¡¯s waited for half a year, and is making this move now, he must be fully prepared.
I even suspect that he was already aware of Dawn¡¯s existence, and he has set a in the sky and on the ground, simply waiting for us to step into it!¡±
¡°So what?
He has a knife to Anthony¡¯s neck, even if it¡¯s a trap or walking through fire, we have to go!
Furthermore, since Bruce Hodge is so great, does it mean we are trash?
Chapter 352: 203 Start Working—2
Chapter 352: 203 Start Working¡ª2
¡°If he can set a trap, then we can st through his trap!¡±
¡°Are you in or not? If you¡¯re not, then I¡¯ll go it alone!¡±
¡°Hold on, can¡¯t you stay calm? We¡¯re not debating whether to do it or not, but how to do it!¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing to discuss, do you know what preparations Bruce Hodge has made?
We don¡¯t have much intel, and he¡¯s not given us much time. What else can we
do?
We have to storm forwards!¡±
¡°Can¡¯t we find another way to make Hodge hesitate, give up Anthony?¡±
Donald Morgan furrowed his brows, weary.
But as soon as he made this suggestion, it was immediately rejected by Old Eight and Old Three.
¡°It won¡¯t work!¡±
They didn¡¯t just reject the idea. They had given it a lot of thought.
¡°We could manipte Hodge in a few ways. Either we make his superiors pressure him, we strike at him from below, targeting his base, or we strike at the Abyss.
But can we execute any of these strategies?
We don¡¯t have the capability to influence his superiors.
And if we go for the humans, or try and destroy the entrance to the Abyss, not counting whether he¡¯d care or not, we can¡¯t even justify it to ourselves.
Even if we did, after rescuing Anthony, we¡¯d be the ones in trouble .¡±
¡°Hence, we only have one option left. Rally all the forces we can and save him by brute force!¡±
Hearing this, Donald Morgan sighed deeply but said nothing.
This was the Dawn Organization¡¯s way. Living in darkness, yet all actions must be taken uprightly.
Donald¡¯s not saying that acting uprightly is bad, but considering their current disadvantageous state, he felt they needed to be more flexible in their methods.
But he has no say in Dawn.
¡°Fine, when will we make a move?¡±
¡°Old Three said: ¡°The sooner, the better!
The more we wait, the tighter their defenses get, the harder it is for us!
Also, what about Dean McKenzie?
Didn¡¯t he say, as long as his sry is right, he can even defeat gods?
Where is he?¡±
¡°He¡¯s already on his way, but his situation isn¡¯t looking good. He just had a sh with the Hunting Church. He won, but got seriously injured.¡±
Hearing the news, Old Eight chimed in, ¡°He¡¯s a tough guy who rushes forward as soon as he hears the news even though he¡¯s injured. I like him. Thirteen, I have a Seven-turn Epic level potion here, send it to him!¡±
¡°Alright, I too have a healing item, send it to him.
Try to get him to heal his injuries before he gets to Thorn Oak City. If he joins us in our mission, it¡¯s an added strength, and plus, he won¡¯t have to go on his own and risk his life.¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
¡°Then it¡¯s settled. Thirteen will deliver the potions to Dean. The rest of us will meet in Thorn Oak City in three days!¡±
With that, the Dawn¡¯s online meeting ended.
Meanwhile, Donald Morgan immediately contacted Dean McKenzie through a token passed on before.
¡°Dean, where are you?¡±
¡°In the sky!¡±
Dean McKenzie, who was in the middle of a flight, gave a brief introduction.
While speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face was ghostly white as he was flying in the sky.
He had to admit that he underestimated the arrow from the Mark of the Hunting God.
The wounds from the arrow were gradually taking effect, escting his injuries.
Although Dean McKenzie had already taken quite a few potions, and even used Physique Enhancement after it cooled down, he still couldn¡¯t get nd of the injury.
The main issue was the extremely high-quality energy left inside Dean McKenzie¡¯s body by his opponent.
The energy was so powerful that Dean even suspected it was divine power. Despite not understanding how his opponent at a six-turn level could produce such divine power, Dean tasted the bitter repercussions of being obnoxious in the face of God after the battle.
Dean estimated that it would take him a year or so to solve this problem by slowly eroding it with Physique Enhancement.
Fortunately, this issue didn¡¯t hinder his battle strength.
¡°Is there anything you need?¡±
¡°It¡¯s about your injuries, we have medicine¡¡±
¡°If it¡¯s about medicine, no need. But corpses would be useful. Should you feel inclined, provide me with some corpses with the Extraordinary Temte. Of course, corpses with the Legendary Temte would be even better!¡± Dean¡¯s request startled Donald Morgan, but remembering McKenzie¡¯s profession as a Necromancer, it didn¡¯t seem too bizarre.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll prepare the corpses for you. Where should we meet?
¡°In Summer City. Do your people have a base here?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll send you our location.¡±
¡°Good, see you in Summer City.¡±
After hanging up with Donald Morgan, Dean was in high spirits. After all, as he continued on his journey, corpses with the Extraordinary Temte were delivered straight to him. How could he not be pleased?
¡°If I elevate my Physique to the Extraordinary Temte, it should alleviate my injuries to a certain extent.
If I could rise to the Legendary Temte, perhaps I could heal all at once. But, they probably aren¡¯t capable of providing me with corpses of the Legendary Temte.
However, it¡¯s always good to have expectations. What if they truly deliver?¡± Subsequently, Dean arrived at the seaside near Summer City in Anta within a day.
He was only about a thousand miles away from Thorn Oak City.
However, Dean was not nning to press on.
Although he came to rescue someone, Dean had never nned to march into Thorn Oak City on his own.
Kidding aside, he¡¯s a Necromancer,manding a vast Wraith Army with powerful Wraith Servants. Why would he need to personally rescue anyone? Moreover, Dean had tested it before ¨C at the seven-turn level, his skeleton could get about fifteen hundred miles away from him.
That is, while Dean was at the seaside, his skeleton could reach Thorn Oak City. Dean himself was seriously injured anyway, there was no need for him to go into the battlefield. Even though Dean himself didn¡¯t n on going, he did intend to send Doggy Two and the others all over.
Thus, it could be said that Dean had pretty much deployed his strongest forces. If Doggy Two and the others couldn¡¯t handle it, adding Dean to the mix wouldn¡¯t help either¡ªit would only add one more corpse!
On the other hand, it was a different story for Dean at the seaside¡ª if he couldn¡¯t win, he could still run.
He had a Dragon Pce Sub-copy Token in his hand. If he really couldn¡¯t win, he could easily escape to either the Dragon Pce or Goblin Uprising Instance. As long as he got away, he could find a way to get back to it eventually.
Dean didn¡¯t want to waste his life trying to save someone else, only to end up losing his own.
Afternding, Dean first sent Old Eight to the Dawn Organization¡¯s base in Summer City.
When Old Eight arrived, Donald Morgan hadn¡¯t arrived yet.
But he had already arranged for the corpses that Dean wanted to be ced at the Summer City base via the Dawn Organization¡¯s channels.
Old Eight made a single trip and sessfully brought back fourteen bodies for Dean.
Unexpectedly, two of the fifteen bodies were of the Legendary Temte, and the remaining twelve were all of the Extraordinary Temte without exception.
This caught Dean by surprise. He hadn¡¯t expected the Dawn Organization to have such deep roots that they could produce two corpses with the Legendary Temte.
¡°It¡¯s a shame, only two. I still need one more.
But since they are free gifts, this is already quite a treat!
As a person with principle who takes things for free, Dean would never to the point of taking things for free and still insult people.
After sincerely praising the Dawn Organization, Dean resurrected and killed the twelve bodies with the Extraordinary Temte, turning them into four Extraordinary Temtes and applied them to himself.
[You have bestowed the Extraordinary Temte on your Physique, your Physique Trait [Physique Enhancement] has risen to the A-grade!] [You have bestowed the Extraordinary Temte on your Agility, your Agility Trait¡]
Chapter 353: 204 Strength of Bruce Hodge
Chapter 353: 204 Strength of Bruce Hodge
Swift as Wind (A) (Agility) (Increases agility effect by 1500 percent, increases evasion by 50 percent)
Enhanced Strength (A) (Increases effect by 1500 percent, Strength skill determines effect increase by 1500 percent)
Enhanced Physique (A-grade) (Increases physique effect by 1500 percent, Enhances life recovery by 300,000 percent,
When activated, it can quickly restore injuries, as long as the vital parts are notpletely destroyed, they can quickly recover, (three times a day))
On Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, in one fell swoop, he promoted three traits to A-grade traits.
The effect is very significant too.
After the upgrade, Dean McKenzie¡¯s use of the [Enhanced Physique] effect is much better than before.
Besides, after using it three times in a day, Dean McKenzie felt faintly that the power from his heart seemed to have melted a little into his body.
ording to this progress, the injury problem can bepletely solved in at most three months.
In addition, the upgrade of the three attribute temtes also allowed Dean McKenzie¡¯s three attributes to soar a lot.
What¡¯s most crucial is that Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t let those two legendary quality corpses sit idle at the bottom of the bag.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A big battle was soon tomence; of course, Dean McKenzie wanted to enhance his strength as much as possible.
Therefore, in the end, Dean McKenzie used the two legendary quality corpses on the Skeleton.
Skill: Control Skeleton (Third-turn) (Four times Enhanced)
Level: Level i5(Sublimation) (Grey)
Effect: Passively increases [Summon Skeleton]¡¯s direct subordinate units¡¯ total attributes by 900 percent
(Maximum single attribute: 91.30 million), increasing attack and defense by 9,130,000
ps: Effect on non-direct subordinates of Summon Skeleton is only one-tenth
Trait: Undying (Legendary) (Level 2) (The summoned Skeleton¡¯s direct subordinate Skeleton can revive twice daily)
Cannot be thoroughly killed by traits below the Legendary level
ps: Skeletons that aren¡¯t direct subordinates of the Summon Skeleton drop a level)
This is the attribute of the Controlled Skeleton presently under Dean McKenzie¡¯s control.
It can be described as exaggerated to the extreme.
Not only that, Dean McKenzie also upgraded Doggy Two¡¯s Anti-Magic Attack to [Legendary].
It took Dean McKenzie more than a day to do this.
Of course, this was also worth it.
After developing these two legendary traits, the strength of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Skeleton Legion dramatically improved, and their ability to protect their lives also increased significantly.
Afterward, Dean McKenzie then confidently released the Skeleton Legion under his control.
The number of skeletons dispatched this time was not much, only about one thousand.
But without exception, they were all rare Seven-turn Skeletons or better.
Among them, Old Two, Old Eight, Old Seven, Old Nine, and even Old Four who Dean McKenzie used to protect his life were thrown out.
It can be said that Dean McKenzie has used almost all his resources.
Dean McKenzie has used all means for rescuing Anthony.
¡°I have thrown out all that should be thrown out. Now all that¡¯s left is to wait for the news. I hope my meager strength can save Anthony!¡±
On the other side, in Thorn Oak City.
Time quickly came to the third day.
In the past three days, Thorn Oak City has never been quiet.
The prison where Ennis Hawkins was held was attacked 17 times over these three days.
Although each attempt ended in failure.
Despite the failure of the 17 attempts, which had taken more than a hundred lives already,
this did not deter everyone. Dark currents were still surging inside Thorn Oak City.
Who knows how many people are still organizing and preparing to exert all their strength, even their lives, to save Ennis Hawkins when the timees.
Inside the dungeon, Bruce Hodge, looking at Ennis Hawkins locked up in the quiet room, squinted and said: ¡°I have to admit, sometimes I am really envious of you. Even if you have lost the backing behind you, lost your candidate saint¡¯s status, there are still so many people who are willing to follow you one after another.¡±
In response, Ennis Hawkins, who was locked deep inside, did not say anything.
He was just closing his eyes to meditate.
¡°Don¡¯t be so cold, we were friends at least once. Aren¡¯t you going to talk to me?
Even if you don¡¯t deal with me as a friend, don¡¯t you want to know what happened to those foolish fishes that rushed into the I set up to save you?¡±
Bruce Hodge¡¯s words made Ennis Hawkins open his eyes, meeting Bruce Hodge¡¯s gaze. Ennis Hawkins said the first sentence: ¡°Aaron Brown, do me a favor and let them go!¡±
¡°Bang!¡±
As soon as Ennis Hawkins¡¯s voice fell, Bruce Hodge violently ps on the prison bars in front of them.
¡°Don¡¯t use such a disgusting name to call me!
You are not the you from yesteryears, and I am not that little radish following behind you then.
Now, you don¡¯t have the right to speak to me so condescendingly!
Nor do you have the right to ask me to give you face!
I tell you, this time I won¡¯t let any of them go. Not only won¡¯t I let them go, but
I will also sit here, guard thest line of defense.
I will kill every one of those bastards who came to save you in front of your eyes!¡±
At this moment, Bruce Hodge seemed somewhat mad.
At the same time as he made this bold statement,
A cold snort followed.
¡°You want to kill us all? Thene on, let¡¯s see if you have the ability to do it!¡±
Immediately after that, a loud noise.
With a huge battle-ax breaking open the prison, a burly and strong man made a brilliant debut!
On his left was a girl wearing a fiery red leather jacket and holding a long whip in her hand. On his right was Donald Morgan, who was covered in blood-red from head to toe and holding a blood-colored holy sword in both hands..
Chapter 354: 204 Bruce Hodge’s Strength_2
Chapter 354: 204 Bruce Hodge¡¯s Strength_2
The Dawn Organization members are here!
¡°It¡¯s you guys!¡±
Bruce Hodge seemed to recognize the three leading the group, Donald Morgan.
¡°Just the three of you from your organization?
¡°The three of us is more than enough!¡±
¡°Less talking, get him!¡±
¡®TH take care of this guy, you guys save Anthony!¡±
The members of the Dawn Organization didn¡¯t care to chat with Bruce Hodge.
Led by a brawny figure, they threw themselves into the fray,unching themselves at him, with an axe aimed at Bruce¡¯s forehead!
At the same time, Old Three and Donald Morgan, known as Thirteen, were quick in moving towards Ennis Hawkins, aiming to bypass Bruce Hodge.
However, they barely begun when Bruce began to smile.
¡°Two perfect quality seven-turn, one extraordinary quality six-turn, quite formidable skills.
But you think you can save someone with just that in front of me?
You¡¯re far off!¡±
As Bruce spoke, he casually snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the environment changed dramatically, transforming from a standard jail cell to an extremely luxurious room.
And Bruce, who was standing at the jail cell moments ago, now sat in avish chair in the center of the room, nked by four exotic beauties.
Seeing this, the faces of the three men from Dawn immediately changed colors.
¡°A seven-turn, and an extraordinary quality seven-turn at that?¡±
Though they had initially assumed Bruce¡¯s strength was more than it seemed, they had never imagined it would be to this degree.
¡°Correct. Wee to my world!
I also wee you to be part of my world!
Bruce snapped his fingers again,ughing.
The room suddenly started to flip.
The expressions on the faces of the three men from Donald Morgan¡¯s team changed instantly. Just as they were about to counter the sudden upheaval, a crushing force bore down upon them, immobilizing them.
At the same time, hands-those of beautiful women-sprouted from the ground, binding the three of thempletely.
In just one round, all three were unconditionally controlled.
The overwhelming power of Bruce Hodge was terrifying!
Donald Morgan¡¯s group were horrified.
Meanwhile, Bruce, was amused, looking at the three men he¡¯d taken down in a single round, ¡°You jumbled lot think you can save someone before me?
That¡¯s hrious.
No wait, trying to save someone though, isn¡¯t that hrious. What I don¡¯t get is how you lot even had the nerve to form an organization, and name it ¡®Dawn¡¯.
What, you¡¯re going to save this world?
A joke, what a colossal joke! Is this world really in a state where you useless bunch can save it?¡±
¡°We¡¯re a joke, are we?¡±
¡°Yes, we¡¯re a joke!¡±
¡°We were born to be looked down upon, viewed as nothing but a joke.
Indeed we are weak.
But so what?
Because we are weak, does that mean we don¡¯t deserve to have ambition?
We¡¯ve braved storms. What¡¯s wrong with wanting to hold an umbre over this
world?¡±
¡°Your mistake is not that you¡¯re weak!¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s not that weakness is a fault, it¡¯s cowardice!¡±
The members of the Dawn organization didn¡¯t hesitate in the face of their difficult circumstances,unching a desperate attack.
Old Three, leading the charge, swallowed a potion. His hair instantly turned white, but his aura increased a hundredfold in that instant.
¡°Puff!¡±
Simultaneously, the man at Old Three¡¯s side had muscles bursting out all over
his body.
His stature dramatically increased in size.
The two managed to break free from Bruce¡¯s hold at the same time.
¡°Die!¡±
Suddenly, the brawny figure swung his axe, aiming right at Bruce Hodge.
At the same time, Old Three made a move towards Donald Morgan, breaking the hold on him, tearing down his defense and opening up a path for Donald
Morgan.
¡°Save everyone!¡±
After dropping that sentence, Old Three rushed directly towards Bruce Hodge.
Donald Morgan watched Old Three and Old Eight, clenching his teeth, and finally turned to go through the one exit, and from that immenselyvish room, he entered the prison, rushing towards Ennis Hawkins.
¡°Anthony, I¡¯m here to save you!¡±
Standing at the entrance, raising his sword, Donald Morgan was about to burst into the prison, when a voice full of sarcastic taunt rang out.
¡°Really? Thanks a bunch!¡±
Donald Morgan was taken aback, suddenly looking up, and with that look, his anger brimmed.
What he saw was not Ennis Hawkins at all, butpletely the image of Bruce Hodge.
What struck Donald Morgan even more was that two bodiesy beside Bruce
Hodge, one was Old Eight¡¯s, the other was Old Three¡¯s.
Seeing this scene before his eyes, Donald Morgan was filled with boundless fury and despair.
Yet Bruce Hodge looked at Donald Morgan as if he was seeing a clown.
¡°How should I put it, you¡¯re pretty disappointing!
Those two didn¡¯t hesitate to risk their lives for you, buying you time and opportunity to escape. Yet when given the chance, you¡¯re useless!¡± Donald Morgan¡¯s eyes were about to explode, but he was well aware that the rage right now would solve no problem.
If he charged over, there could only be one more corpse.
Staying alive, his being alive was much more important than his death, he could still notify others of Bruce Hodge¡¯s information if he stayed alive.
Hence, without any hesitation, Donald Morgan turned and ran.
¡°Running away, huh?
Really disgraceful. Your two friends died for you, yet you just ran away, do you think you¡¯re doing justice to your brothers who shed blood and gave their lives?
Perhaps you should just stay!¡±
As Bruce Hodge spoke, countless arms extended from all directions towards Donald Morgan.
Desiring to grab Donald Morgan.
Unexpectedly, even though Donald Morgan was the one with lowest level, he had the best knack for escaping.
He managed to run a long distance despite Bruce Hodge¡¯s pursuit, which caused a burst of appreciation from Bruce Hodge.
¡°So nimble, it seems you¡¯re a pro at running away, but have you taken a look around?¡±
Donald Morgan was startled, mentally telling himself not to believe a word from the opponent, yet involuntarily turned his head. Upon looking, he froze.
He found himself unknowingly back in that immenselyvish room.
Moreover, beneath his feet was an incrediblyrge hand, and he had been standing in the center of the palm all along.
That is to say, he had never had a chance to escape.
Upon realizing this, Donald Morgan came to a halt.
¡°What? Not running anymore?¡±
Bruce Hodge watched Donald Morgan, who seemed to have given up resistance. Bruce¡¯s mouth edged into a smirk: ¡°Have you been plunged into despair?
Or are you preparing to express some sentimental words like your two friends, and then dash over to meet your death?
To tell the truth, I rather like such scenes.
After those words brimming with righteousness, full of a protagonist feel, they get smacked dead by my palm.
The contrast in that scene is very strong.
If you¡¯re determined to do the same, I will try to not let you die that fast. Of course, I am not a devil. If you want to live, I can give you a chance. As long as you can answer a few questions of mine, I shall let you, what on earth are you doing?¡±
Before Bruce Hodge could even finish his sentence, he saw Donald Morgan silently draw out a short piece of bones from his pocket, and quietly crushed it.
¡°Doing, this is? Calling for help?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Donald Morgan nodded, ¡°Someone handed this thing to me, and told me to break it if I found a ce, and his people woulde!¡±
¡°Bones? If I¡¯m not mistaken, that person must be Dean McKenzie¡±
Bruce Hodge smirked: ¡°I didn¡¯t¡¯ expect you to give me such a surprise, I was worried that he wouldn¡¯te after your death. Now I no longer have to worry about it!¡±
¡°Rather than worrying about him noting, I think you should worry more about how to survive.¡±
Donald Morgan looked right at Bruce Hodge, as though he was looking at a dead man.
¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Old Three and Old Eight, in fear that his men entering the city would massively destroy the city, you¡¯d be dead by now by trying to save people yourself!¡±
¡°Really? So he is that powerful? Well, let me see¡ he, he¡¯s here!¡¯
Before Bruce Hodge could finish his sentence, hisplexion abruptly changed.
Simultaneously, dozens of silhouettes charged into the prison, violently making way into that exceedingly luxurious room¡
Chapter 355: 205 Uses Holy Light to hit Old Seven?
Chapter 355: 205 Uses Holy Light to hit Old Seven?
In fact, Bruce Hodge hadrge arrangements for his own actions this time.
The entire Thorn Oak City was hisyered trap.
And he himself was at the absolute center of this trap.
For someone from the outside to reach this center, ording to Bruce Hodge¡¯s setup, ording to his idea, the difficulty wouldn¡¯t be as easy as winning six sessive battles.
Even if someone could reach the trap center, arge amount of effort and mental power would have to be expended.
Therefore, when Donald Morgan took out that bone, Bruce remainedpletely calm.
He didn¡¯t expect that in an instant, his carefully arranged trap would be a joke.
Dozens of figures barged into this luxurious room.
Almost in that instant, Bruce understood.
Looking at the 32 figures that broke in, after a brief shock, Bruce¡¯s face revealed a rxed and confident smile again: ¡°I must say, even though I have tried to estimate their strength as much as possible, it seems I still underestimated them.
32 Seventh-turn Skeletons with Perfect Temtes, that kid¡¯s strength is truly surprising.
However, these 32 Skeletons alone are not enough to break my trap!¡±
As he spoke, Bruce seated in the luxurious room snapped his fingers!
The next second, in the room, the palm originally under Donald Morgan¡¯s feet suddenly contracted.
With a ¡°snap¡±, out of the 32 Skeletons, four were killed instantly.
Donald took advantage of the four Skeletons blocking the attack and escaped, but after escaping, his expression was filled with horror when looking at Bruce Hodge.
He eliminated 4 seventh-turn Skeletons with Perfect Quality in a single strike, his strength did not seem simple like a Seventh-turn Extraordinary Temte!
While Donald Morgan was shocked, Bruce and the Death Knights under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand had started fighting.
The battle was pretty fierce.
Simultaneously with the loss of four Skeletons, the remaining 28 Death Knights charged towards Bruce.
What kind of scene is it when 28 Seventh-order Perfect Quality Death Knights charge together?
Most people wouldn¡¯t have a chance to witness it, but Donald did.
Truthfully, the scene was quite shocking and even Donald was stunned.
In an instant, the entire room copsed, and the 28 Death Knights killed all at once, with only 28 Skeletons, revealed a posture that not even ten thousand troops would have.
Although Donald was behind them, when they charged, he had no doubt that they could break a mountain instantly.
However, what was in front of them was not a mountain, but the unshakeable Bruce Hodge.
Facing the charging Death Knights, Bruce lifted his corner of his mouth, raised his hand slightly, countless arms extended in the luxurious room and grabbed the 28 Death Knights.
¡°Snap, snap, snap!¡±
A series of small sounds of collision, fracture, and even shattering of bones echoed one after another.
In just a few seconds, the Death Knights under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand were continuously defeated and even killed.
In a while, only the eight in the center remained intact.
In just a few seconds, these 8 Death Knights had already reached Bruce.
Just as the eight Death Knights were about to thrust their weapons into Bruce, the four mysterious beauties by his side took action, and went up to hold the eight Death Knights.
¡°Snap!¡± *8
Apanied by this neat sound, the bones of thest eight Death Knights were shattered.
This scene made Donald¡¯s scalps tingle.
Although he initially predicted that Bruce was strong, he never expected him to be this monstrous, casually eliminating 32 Seventh-order Perfect Quality Death Knights in just a few seconds.
In fact, only Bruce knew very well.
Eliminating those 32 Death Knights was not as easy as it looked.
In that short span of few seconds, he consumed over forty to fifty percent of his Spirit Power.
However, it was all worth it, at least he suppressed these 32 seventh-turn Perfect Quality Death Knights within a few seconds.
Looking at the scattered skeletons in his own room, Bruce showed a smile on his face: ¡°It¡¯s a pity, although that boy¡¯s strength exceeded my expectations, it was not by much!
He did not reach your expectations.
Let alone save you and rescue Ennis Hawkins, without these 32 Death Knights, he himself would be hard to protect!¡±
Hearing Bruce¡¯s words after dealing with the Death Knights, Donald shook his head after a brief shock: ¡°All I can say is, you know nothing about his strength!¡±
¡°Oh, really?¡±
Hearing this, Bruce raised the corner of his mouth, ready to say something, but the next second he couldn¡¯t say a word.
Because in the next second, a knight bathed in ck holy light arrived in this room at an incredible speed.
It was Old Seven!
When the mission began, relying on his speed advantage, he ignored Doggy Two¡¯s orders and rushed ahead, leaving the main group far behind.
At this moment, he arrived at Thorn Oak City first and was the first to reach this ce.
The moment Old Seven appeared, Bruce¡¯s face changed.
The moment he saw Old Seven, Bruce felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.
He had a vague sense of worry.. Could his ns really go awry this time?
Chapter 356: 205 Uses Holy Light to hit Old Seven?_2
Chapter 356: 205 Uses Holy Light to hit Old Seven?_2
As he worried, Old Seven had already reached him.
With such speed, Bruce Hodge could hardly react, and in an instant, Bruce, who was seated at the very center, in a very theatrical manner, was pierced through with a spear.
The fear of death revealed terror on the face of Bruce, who had always been confident and seemed to control the situation with a calm face.
¡°Bang!¡±
Almost in an instant, Old Seven hit Bruce and pushed him out of the luxurious
room.
As soon as they got out, Bruce, who was on Old Seven¡¯s spear, turned into one
of the four strange beauties beside him.
At the same time, the terrified Bruce appeared in the previous position of the strange beauty, holding his chest as if the pain of being pierced still remained.
¡°Truly frightening wraith, truly frightening skeleton, is this Dean McKenzie¡¯s trump card?
It¡¯s really extraordinary, greatly out of my expectations.
Fortunately, I still have this life-saving ability.
Such an attack, even that kind of skeleton, could not arrange a second time in
the short term, right?¡±
Bruce said, and the terrified face revealed a smile of reassurance from a narrow
escape.
But in the next second, his relieved smile froze.
Because Old Seven wasing again!
¡°Damn it!¡±
Bruce wanted to run with fear, but it was toote. Before he could react, he was once again pierced by Old Seven and thrown out.
¡°Crack!¡±
One of Bruce¡¯s strangedies disappeared, and Bruce, who was just thrown out,
came back again.
This timeing back alive, Bruce didn¡¯t dare to talk nonsense.
He just reinforced his defense at the earliest.
He started to stuff various potions into his mouth, and spirit power broke out
crazily like money was not a problem.
Arms kept stretching out from the luxurious room, creating multipleyers of defense, attempting to block Old Seven¡¯s third attack!
But it didn¡¯t work at all.
If given enough time, he might have built a whole defense system to hold back
Old Seven¡¯s attack.
But the regret was that Old Seven would not give him that time.
Just as he began to build it, Old Seven appeared again in his presence, and the stabbing pain in his chest came again.
At this moment, Bruce¡¯s face revealed a look of despair.
He clearly realized that the opponent in front of him was someone he could not
ovee.
The opponent is too fast.
There are many tricks in martial arts, but speedes first!
Even though this saying may not be applicable in this world, when speed reaches a certain level, it¡¯s indeed quite tricky, even insoluble for many people.
Like Old Seven before Bruce¡¯s eyes, he is insoluble.
Old Seven¡¯s speed has exceeded his limits and even his thinking.
His skill hadn¡¯t been ready yet, but he had already been stabbed.
Under this circumstance, what can Bruce do?
He can do nothing by himself, even though the four bizarre beauties next to him have the effect of substituting for death and injury, but they can only rece four times.
Now it¡¯s three times, one more time, just one more time, and he will be dead!
Under this condition, Bruce totally creased.
¡°How much longer do you want to see the y?
Waiting for me to die before you make a move?
After tasting the piercing of the heart for the third time anding back from the death, Bruce didn¡¯t struggle anymore, shouting out loud towards the surroundings.
At this moment, he ced his hope for survival on others.
Upon hearing this, Donald Morgan¡¯s eyebrows rose.
Obviously, he was shocked by Bruce¡¯s shout.
Bruce has been surprising him since today.
Not only his strength is terrifying, what he didn¡¯t expect was, Bruce had prepared a backup n for today¡¯s arrangement apart from himself.
And it¡¯s a very strong backup n!
Almost simultaneously as Bruce Hodge¡¯s words fell and Old Seven once again came in front of him.
A solemn and sacred voice sounded.
¡°God said, thou shalt not cross!¡±
Apanying that voice, Old Seven who had already charged in front of Bruce Hodge, the spear in his hand about to pierce through Bruce again, suddenly froze.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man wearing a robe shimmering with dark gold light appeared in this utterly luxurious room.
The very moment Donald Morgan saw the neer, his pupils constricted. He recognized the man before him, this was Harry Richardson, a man from the Professional Alliance Thirteen Branches.
The so-called Professional Alliance Thirteen Branches was an institution subordinate to the president of the Professional Alliance, and everyone in it, without exception, possessed the Holy Light Profession Temte.
And the Harry Richardson before him was the owner of the Extraordinary Temte [Recorder of Holy Words] under the Holy Light Profession.
With Seven-turn strength, he was quite a notable character within the Thirteen Branches.
Seeing him appear, Donald Morgan realized something unpleasant was likely about to happen to Old Seven.
After all, Old Seven¡¯s strength seemed to be at just the Seven-turn Extraordinary level.
It was inherently a disadvantage to be outnumbered.
Even more so, Harry Richardson was the [Recorder of Holy Words] from the
Holy Light profession.
It¡¯s widely known that Holy Light Professions have an absolute advantage against all Wraith branches.
Wouldn¡¯t Old Seven be in danger encountering such a nemesis?
Sure enough, after Harry Richardson had controlled Old Seven with a holy word, he oveid several more holy words, directly binding Old Seven withinyers uponyers of holy light.
Seeing Old Seven trapped, Bruce Hodge finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He immediately thanked Harry Richardson, ¡°Thank goodness, it¡¯s a good thing
I brought you along, or I would be done for today!¡±
Harry Richardson, stepping out opposite him, reprimanded with a superior and stern face: ¡°It was you who chose this despicable path. If you had chosen the Way of Holy Light, this filth could not even harm you, it wouldn¡¯t even dare to look you in the eye.
It could only hide in dark corners like a sewer rat, gazing at your feet with envy and jealousy!
Just like it¡¯s doing now!¡±
Harry said as he walked step by step to Bruce Hodge¡¯s side, looking at the Old
Seven who was enveloped inyers uponyers of holy light.
-God said: The filthy ones need to be cleansed, the lowly ones need to be purified.
And you, a filthy and lowly skeleton, what you need to do is kneel, crawl under the foot of the Holy Light, and let the Holy Light cleanse your sins.
Kneel down!¡±
With a cold snort from Harry, an intense Holy Light burst forth.
In an instant, not only was Old Seven affected, but even the luxuriously decorated room where Bruce Hodge resided creaked under the intense Holy
Light.
As the owner of this room, Bruce Hodge¡¯s condition was naturally not great at this moment.
The look he gave Harry Richardson was somewhat dangerous.
This guy, always showing off in front of him due to the suppression of his Holy Light profession.
But even though his condition and mood were not good, Bruce Hodge was still pleased with the situation at hand.
After all,pared to his condition and mood, his life was clearly more important.
If Harry Richardson did not step in, there would be no chance for him to deal with the Skeleton Knight other than risking his life.
Now Harry Richardson had stepped up, and this formidable enemy could be easily dealt with.
At this moment, Bruce Hodge felt a strong positive impression of Harry Richardson¡¯s Holy Light profession for the first time.
At least it was really effective against Wraiths.
Sure enough, under Harry Richardson¡¯s holy words, a strong beam of Holy Light, like a pir falling from the sky, shone on Old Seven.
That column of holy light made Bruce himself feel ufortable just by looking at it.
And he, with a profession that had some resistance to Holy Light, was already like this. The Skeleton Knight enveloped under the Holy Light must be worse than death.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re pretty resilient, able to endure my Holy Light for so long.
You got some skills, huh?
What about that? A wraith is after all a wraith, do you think you can overturn the heavens for me? Kneel down for me!
With a roar from Harry Richardson, the already intense Holy Light erupted again.
The next second, with a ¡°crack¡±, the Holy Light enveloping Old Seven shattered inch by inch.
A smile emerged on the faces of both Harry Richardson and Bruce Hodge.
But in the next second, one lost his smile, while the other was filled with
horror¡.
Chapter 357: He actually has two such terrifying skeletons?
Chapter 357: He actually has two such terrifying skeletons?
¡°Crack¡±
The moment when theyers of holy light wrapped around Old Seven shattered.
What Oliver Holt and Harry Richardson saw was not Old Seven, down on his knees under the oppression of the holy light.
But Old Seven standing proud amidst the holy light, still standing tall even under the furious oppression of the holy light.
At that moment, only then did Bruce Hodge and Harry Richardson realize that the tremendous holy light that Harry had unleashed on Old Seven had not caused him any harm at all!
Facing this situation, Harry Richardson and Bruce Hodge reacted differently.
Harry was questioning his life: ¡°How can this be?
This is impossible!
My holy light can¡¯t be this weak!¡±
And Bruce Hodge, his heart instantly consumed by fear, turned and ran away at the earliest opportunity.
This act temporarily saved his life.
At the instant when they reacted differently, Old Seven made his move.
This time, Old Seven¡¯s target was Harry Richardson. Aware of this, Harry immediately unleashed his most powerful holy light: ¡°God says:¡¡±
¡®Speak not of your nonsense!¡¯
Old Seven¡¯s silent roar interrupted Harry¡¯s holy words, and the trace of dark holy light on him ignited at the same time.
In an instant, Old Seven was right in front of Harry. Although Harry¡¯s holy words hadn¡¯t been sessfully cast, the holy light and equipment still created a thickyer of divine protection in front of him.
Being in the thick holy light, Harry felt some sense of safety.
But the next second, thence wrapped in dark holy light lightly jabbed, Harry¡¯syers of holy light shields were pierced through as if they were paper, and Harry¡¯s heart was pierced through at the same moment.
Seven-turn Extraordinary Temte user, Harry Richardson, was killed instantly!
This sight sent chills down Bruce¡¯s spine, who had taken advantage of the situation to put some distance, and left Donald Morgan dumbfounded.
At this moment, Old Seven¡¯s strength was so extraordinarily strong that it defiedmon sense.
Then, they discovered that killing Harry Richardson in one shot was nothing out of the ordinary for Old Seven.
The truly terrifying thing was, as Harry was killed, the aura all over Old Seven surged even more.
At the same time, Harry Richardson, who fell under Old Seven¡¯snce, was wrapped in dark holy light at the moment of his death.
Then, in less than five minutes, Harry¡¯s physical body was incineratedpletely, directly from a living human to a skeleton.
Moreover, the originally dense golden holy light on his body changed to ck as he was turned into a skeleton.
He instantly became part of the Fallen Skeleton n and fell on his knees submissively before Old Seven.
Upon seeing this, Bruce felt his scalp explode!
A feeling called regret began to spread in his heart: ¡°What kind of monster have I provoked!¡±
Clearly, he got what he wished for, a big catch.
But this big catch, he seemed unable to swallow, no, he was already almost being swallowed up by it!
And as Bruce was terrified, Old Seven¡¯s gaze fell on him again.
Bruce was different from before at this moment.
Previously, he had no time to defend, but now, while Old Seven was killing Harry, Bruce had mobilized the power of his extravagant room.
At this moment, thickyers of arms were protecting Bruce all around.
But even that couldn¡¯t give Bruce much sense of security.
He always felt that his end was nearing.
Reality proved that Bruce was correct.
¡°God says, open your heart!¡±
Bruce heard a familiar voice, it was that of Harry who had already turned into a skeleton.
Along with Harry¡¯s voice, Bruce found the arms in front of him involuntarily opened.
¡°No!¡±
Despair came, and Bruce howled.
But it was meaningless, the next second, the familiar feeling of his heart being pierced came again, Bruce was sent flying by Old Seven¡¯snce for the fourth time.
However, Bruce did not die, because he still had onest bizarre beauty left.
Soon, Bruce on Old Seven¡¯snce turned into that bizarre beauty.
At the same time, Bruce and the bizarre beauty switched ces.
His current location was hundreds of meters away from where he was killed, deep in the prison.
The moment hended, Bruce started to sprint for his life.
Under the threat of death, Bruce ran so fast.
Speed burst to the extreme, he ran headlong into the depths of the prison.
¡°Faster, faster, even faster!¡±
Even faster, as long as I reach that person¡¯s territory I have a chance to survive!¡±
Although Bruce wasn¡¯t very powerful, and his too small.
But it can¡¯t be denied that, he was extremely cautious.
To ensure his own safety, he not only used his connections to bring Harry Richardson as assistance, he even located it in the depths of this prison.
This prison seems to be an ordinary prison on the surface, but actually, the deep end of the prison is where the Heavenly Abyss Rift is.
The Alliance stationed a powerful person here.
And that person was the confidence behind Bruce¡¯s daring act.
As long as that person is here, Bruce is not afraid of his trap being foiled, nor is he afraid of being dragged down and consumed.
¡°I¡¯m almost there, just a bit more!¡±
After his mad dash, Bruce quickly saw the unremarkable gate at the end of the prison.
And that gate, was where the Heavenly Abyss lies.
Just by opening that door, Bruce would be safe.
But just as Bruce saw hope to survive, a familiar voice rang out..
Chapter 358: Does he actually have two such terrifying skeletons?_2
Chapter 358: Does he actually have two such terrifying skeletons?_2
¡°God deres, halt!¡±
As the voice resounded, Bruce Hodge felt his heart violently clench, and he waspletely engulfed by death and despair.
At the same time, a terrifying strength enveloped him, rendering him motionless.
Concurrently, the familiar sound of bones shing filled the air, amplifying Bruce¡¯s fear.
¡°I must survive!¡±
Without hesitation, Bruce gambled his life.
He released every ounce of strength he possessed, pulling out a small, ck sword and piercing his own heart.
This sword was an item Bruce obtained during an extraordinary encounter, known as the ¡°Death God¡¯s Gamble¡±.
The usage was straightforward- thrust it into the heart.
There was a 90% chance that Bruce would die instantly, but a slim 10% chance he could survive.
Not only could he survive, if he won the gamble, the rewards would be significant.
If he won, he would gain the strength of everyone who died nearby during the duration of the gamble starting from the time he initiated the gamble.
Of course, Bruce didn¡¯t expect to gain any significant power.
His only hope was to survive by winning the one in ten gamble, and avoid certain death by using the invincibility effect initiated by the artifact.
To find life through death!
With Bruce¡¯s personality, given his fear of death, he would never have attempted such a game, but under the circumstance of inevitable death versus 90% chance of death, he was able to make a decisive choice.
As Bruce thrust the ck sword into his heart, Old Seven, with his shotgun, appeared to phase right through him.
The Death God¡¯s Gamble had begun, Bruce could no longer be targeted!
Having passed through Bruce, Old Seven¡¯s bullet tore through therge gate in front of him.
¡°Crack¡±
As the gate shattered and fragments flew, Bruce, submerged in unprecedented pain, revealed an expression of unprecedented joy.
Although he hadn¡¯t survived the Game of Death just yet, one good news was that he was fairly certain Old Seven was doomed!
¡°He has no idea what lies behind the gate he just opened!
The man behind the door is one of the four cornerstones of the Holy Light Alliance, who ten years ago led an entire seven-turn sacred light knight regiment from the dungeons. He has a legendary quality temte and is touted as the most promising super-creature to breakthrough to the ninth-turn in the alliance¡¯s entire history.
This skeleton is as good as dead!
So is Dean McKenzie!
They¡¯re all going to die, they¡¯ll all apany me in death!¡±
Perhaps it was the intense pain, or the shadow of impending death that drove Bruce intoplete madness.
Watching Old Seven shatter the gate, he roared with insane joy.
Almost simultaneously.
As the gate crumbled, an intense holy light surged out.
At that moment, a holy and stern voice sounded.
¡°Filthy wraith, who gave you the audacity to approach my domain?¡±
With this reprimanding voice, the walls surrounding the shattered gate crumbled revealing a domain filled with holy light in front of Bruce and others. Within this holy light domain, the most eye-catching thing was the impably arranged sacred light knight regiment standing right in front of Old Seven.
Upon seeing the holy light knight regiment, a sense of excitement and twisted pleasure appeared on Bruce¡¯s face.
¡°That¡¯s them, the direct subordinate cavalry of that high-ranking man. They¡¯re
all at the seventh level, although they only have rare qualities.
But a unit of 500 seventh level rare quality Holy Light Knights is indeed a terrifying force.
Not to mention, at their helm is a seventh level extraordinary temte figure.
Under her leadership, her Sacred Light Knights could double theirbat power. In front of them, Dean McKenzie¡¯s 32-man seventh level Death Knights are nothing more than trash!¡±
Meanwhile, Donald Morgan, who had secretly followed them, furrowed his brow at the scene before him, ¡°This is a bit of a problem now!
We can¡¯t fight against such arge group. It¡¯s better to retreat!¡±
But whether Old Seven fought or retreated wasn¡¯t for Donald Morgan to decide.
Let alone Donald Morgan, even if Doggy Two, themanding officer of this battle, were here, it would make no difference. Unless Dean McKenzie intervened, Old Seven was bound to confront those Holy Knights!
At this moment, in Old Seven¡¯s eyes, where was there an enemy?
These were clearly attribute babies that would boost his own levels.
So, upon seeing the Holy Light Knights, Old Seven didn¡¯t hesitate and charged forward.
Fearless Charge. He bypassed the seventh level extraordinary figure at the front, stabbing two Holy Light Knights to death at once.
Simultaneously, ¡°Hell¡¯s Holy Light¡± was activated, the two Holy Light Knights didn¡¯t transform into skeletons, but Old Seven¡¯s attributes increased by 2%.
Old Seven¡¯s charge had thoroughly incensed the opposition.
¡°Seeking death, Holy Light Hunt!¡±
The seventh level extraordinary temte, the Holy Light Knight Regiment leader, bellowed with rage. The 500-man Holy Light Knight Regiment sprung into action, surrounding Old Seven.
However, just as they began to move, Harry Richardson¡¯s skeleton, who had followed secretly, issued a divine promation.
¡°God deres, resist not!¡±
Upon hearing the divine promation, more than a dozen Holy Light Knights within Old Seven¡¯s vicinity halted, providing him the opportunity to kill them on the spot.
Old Seven¡¯s attributes increased exponentially to a whopping 17%.
Simultaneously, three Holy Light Knights transformed into Holy Skeletons.
Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, the Holy Light Knight Regiment leader¡¯s face changed dramatically.
¡°A Fallen Holy Light Professional?
You deserve to die even more!¡±
Chapter 359: He actually has two such terrifying skeletons?1’_3
Chapter 359: He actually has two such terrifying skeletons?1¡®_3
With this roar, the fiercest battle between the two sides erupted.
Under themand of their female leader, the Holy Light Knightsunched a furious encirclement against Old Seven.
The female leader was leading from the front in an attempt to constrain Old Seven.
However, Old Seven didn¡¯t engage with her at all.
Old Seven wasn¡¯t a fool. He knew he couldn¡¯t take this female warrior down easily and there would little benefit to winning against her. Why should he engage with her when he could easily handle other opponents?
So, the battle situation developed in a weird direction.
The Holy Light Knights were crazy about encircling Old Seven. The female knight kept chasing him, but Old Seven simply ignored her.
He kept breaking through their ranks, yingmon Holy Light Knights at every turn.
Originally, under the encirclement of the Holy Light Knights, Old Seven should have been defeated soon.
However, Old Seven was aided by Harry Richardson, and every enemy he yed had a chance of bing a member of the Fallen Skeleton n¡ªadded with every kill, his basic attributes would grow by 1%.
Because of these three factors, Old Seven survived the siege and even thrived in it.
In less than half an hour, Old Seven killed over two hundred enemy knights, increasing his attributes more than twofold.
However, Old Seven¡¯s fortune was about to run out.
Because their helper, Harry Richardson, was killed by the female knight leader.
Without Harry¡¯s aid, Old Seven found himself in a difficult situation.
Despite his attribute points having increased twofold, he was exhausted and wounded. Additionally, the enemy knight had be proficient in countering Old Seven¡¯s fighting style.
With the death of Harry, Old Seven was thoroughly suppressed.
Even so, Old Seven seemed to abandon any thought of escape. He recklessly seized any chance he got to kill more Holy Light Knights.
In the end, having in three hundred and twenty-one Holy Light Knights, Old Seven found himself in a desperate situation.
The female leader of the Holy Light Knights approached Old Seven, whose skeleton was shattered and left with only a head, after killing his unicorn. She raised her sword high and shouted, ¡°Filthy wraith, wicked fallen one, I, Lilia, represent the Holy Light to eradicate you!¡±
Witnessing this scene, Bruce Hodge was ecstatic.
Finally, the creature that had be his nightmare was about to die.
¡°Kill it, kill it, quickly kill it!¡±
As Bruce shouted in silent yells and roars, the sword in the female knight leader¡¯s hands fell decisively.
Amid this holy light, Bruce¡¯s excited expression made it seem as if he could already see Old Seven being shredded into pieces.
But at this very moment, the knight leader who wielded the sword felt no joy in her heart.
On one hand, her victory was a costly one, her team had suffered great losses to kill their enemy. She had no reason to be proud of this victory.
More importantly, even at this point when Old Seven was on the brink of defeat, she never saw any fear in his eyes, his Pupil Fire.
What¡¯s more, it was not a fearless look in the face of death, but a confident and fearless one, as if she could not kill him at all.
This look disconcerted Lilia.
But her sword did not stop falling because of this.
As the sword fell.
¡°Squelch!¡±
A severed hand soared in the air.
At the same time, the silhouette of a skeleton appeared behind Lilia.
Seeing the skeleton appear out of thin air, Bruce Hodge, who was animated just moments before, suddenly choked up, and hisughter died abruptly.
It was only at this moment that he realized in horror that Dean McKenzie had not one, but two skeletons like Old Seven¡.
Chapter 360: 207 Holy Son, save me!
Chapter 360: 207 Holy Son, save me!
Heavenly Abyss Sacred Domain.
Amid the heated battle at Thorn Oak City Prison, two people sat on either side
of a Heavenly Abyss inside the Sacred Domain.
The one on the left was the reputed Bruce Hodge ¡®who was hailed as one of the four cornerstones of the Holy Light Alliance, had brought an entire Seven-turn Sacred Light Knights from the instance ten years ago, and was known as a legendary temte; he was recognized as the most hopeful to break through to the ninth-turn in the Alliance over the past hundred years¡¯-Cynl Kaye.
The one on the right was a Seven-turn existence from the Church of Holy Light of the other world across the Heavenly Abyss.
Avish spread of food and drinky on the table before both of them.
Thus, they drank across the abyss.
Interestingly, the reputed Cyril Kaye, one of the Four Cornerstones of the Holy Light Alliance, whom Bruce Hodge had praised excessively, held a lot of respect and humility against the existence of the same Level on the opposite side.
¡°You have done well these past years; this Heavenly Abyss is continuously rising in level. It won¡¯t be long before I can descend to your side of the world through this Heavenly Abyss passage!¡±
¡°Serving Saint Son is an honour for Cyril!¡±
The one on the opposite side of the Heavenly Abyss raised an eyebrow. ¡°You mean, deputy Saint Son!¡±
¡°At present, but it doesn¡¯t mean it will stick so. I admire your strength and talent, Cyril is convinced that you will be a true Saint Son one day!
¡°That¡¯s only because your perspective is too narrow!¡±
The deputy Saint Son across him was humble towards Cyril Kaye¡¯s ttery, but appeared condescending towards their world, at least he seemed to look down on the strength of this world.
-Your world has merely developed for a few hundred years, the strongest will not exceed ninth-turn.
How much vision can there be?
Even now you are considered the top aberrant existence in your world, but you have no idea what a true aberrant genius is!
Don¡¯t let your vision be confined to your little world. Only by venturing out can you go far.
Only by breaking the limit of ninth-turn, can you hope for eternal truth,¡±
¡°Yes, you¡¯re right, I must remember the teachings of Saint Son!¡±
¡°I told you, it¡¯s deputy Saint Son¡ but never mind that, as you wish!
You need to quicken your pace secure this Heavenly Abyss Passage, strive for it to open soon enough for me to pass, and don¡¯t forget to gather the talented professionals either, you need to expedite that as well!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Just as Cyril Kaye was responding, the outside suddenly erupted in fiercebat.
It coincided with the most fierce battle between the Knights of Holy Light and Old Seven that it even impacted their location, even the existence on the opposite side of the Heavenly Abyss felt it and couldn¡¯t help furrowing his brow.
¡°What¡¯s happening on your side?
How could you let enemiese to your doorstep at such a critical moment?
You better not mess up at this crucial moment!
¡°Rest assured, Cyril won¡¯t let it affect your grand n,
Although Cyril¡¯s modest abilities are nothing in the Holy Realm, but in this mundane world they¡¯re formidable enough.
Here, even if Cyril has to guard the Heavenly Abyss single-handedly, the other hand would still be invincible to the world!
I¡¯ll keep the wine warm for you. Just wait a moment for Cyril.
Cyril will be right back!¡±
As Cyril Kaye spoke, he got up directly, his face bing somber as he rose and strode menacingly towards the gate.
Whoever dared to cause trouble at this time, he would p them all to death no matter who they were.
On the other side, outside the Heavenly Abyss Sacred Domain.
A ¡®squelch1 sound rang out.
The enchanting blood blossomed, and the arm of the female Knight Captain swirled in mid-air.
Only at this moment did the Female Knight Captain, Lilia, realize she had been ambushed by a skeleton from behind.
However, as an experienced warrior,
Lilia reacted without panic, her Holy Light burst out instantly, trying to wtden the gap between her and the skeleton behind her.
But as soon as the Holy Light burst and Lilia tried to move,
¡°Squelch!¡±*?
Three small sounds echoed.
Only then did Lilia realize her limbs had been severed.
¡°When did this happen?¡±
Lilia¡¯s face turned pale, and in front of her, Old Seven, whose skeleton had shattered leaving only a skull, pounced on her, fiercely biting her neck.
Ate the head left for him by Old Eight on purpose.
As Old Seven clenched his teeth, the mes of Hell instantly enveloped Liha, turning the Captain of the Holy Light Female Knight into a skeleton.
However, just as the opponent turned into a skeleton, Old Seven made his move, his head directly knocked off the opponent¡¯s head and with a crack, his skeletal head was attached to his bones.
With this attachment, though Old Seven could not be said to have fully revived, he did regain some mobility.
Added to that, Old Eight¡¯s appearance, the tides turned once again in Old Seven¡¯s favour.
Killing broke out once again!
Old Seven and Old Eight took action simultaneously.
Both being the rebels under Doggy Two, their coordination was quiet sound. Old Eight acted first. Wherever he went, the arm of the Holy Light Knight was either broken or the foot was lost, all without exception were severely wounded, but their lives were left for Old Seven.
The two synchronized their actions perfectly. With the female Knight Captain killed,
They were unstoppable.
in less than two minutes, the remaining Holy Light Knights were all yed. Old Seven¡¯s permanent all attributes increase had reached a horrific five hundred and two percent..
Chapter 361: 207 Holy Son, save me! 2
Chapter 361: 207 Holy Son, save me! 2
Though Old Seven had a lesser foundation than Doggy Two, with an increase of five times his basic attribute points, his current four-dimensional stats exceeded 50 million, and surpassed Old Two in all areas except for strength. Unfortunately, due to the fact that he was currently using the skeleton of a female knight captain, he only had about 30% of his attributes left, which still amounted to fifteen million.
Incredibly powerful!
Bruce Hodge, who was surrounded by the ck aura of death, was on the verge of going insane when he witnessed this scene.
He had already tried his best to overestimate Dean McKenzie¡¯s strength, but had still underestimated him.
Not only did Dean McKenziemand 32 perfect quality skeletons, but he also had these two extraordinarily terrifying Seven-turn skeletons of extraordinary quality.
I¡¯m beginning to regret, I should not have given Ennis Hawkins that name, I should not have let him go, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have been able to grow so much in less than a year, less than a year!¡±
¡°This is bad, can he withstand it?¡±
For the first time, Bruce Hodge began to doubt Cyril Kaye from the Heavenly Abyss Sacred Domain.
And he had no choice but to waver, as Old Seven and Old Eight¡¯s impact was simply too great.
These two Seven-turn skeletons with extraordinary temtes were clearly superior. Bruce Hodge even began to doubt if they might already possess the strength of Seven-turn legends.
Moreover, after ughtering the Holy Light Knights, a few dozens of Fallen Skeleton n members who had been transformed stood behind Old Seven. Witnessing this scene, Bruce Hodge began to panic.
After all, he had only heard of Cyril Kaye¡¯s reputation and had yet to witness his true strength.
He was somewhat worried that Cyril Kaye might not be able to withstand these two abnormal skeletons.
But soon, he didn¡¯t have to worry about that anymore.
Because he had arrived!
With a strong extreme aura of holy light, he emerged from the Abyss.
The moment he came out, the entire prison was brightly illuminated, and the few dozens of newly transformed Fallen Skeletons behind Old Seven were instantly ignited by the holy light.
Not only that, even Old Eight, who was standing next to Old Seven, flickered sharply and disappeared instantly under Strong Stealth.
And Old Seven, who was the only one left in decent condition, quickly assumed a defensive stance as if facing a fierce enemy.
Just from this opening move, Bruce Hodge knew that he had underestimated the situation.
He knew nothing about one of the four pirs of the Alliance.
The two skeletons he deemed invincible might just be two nuisances that could be swatted away by him.
No! Not maybe!
But they are indeed!
At this moment, Cyril Kaye, one of the foundational pirs of the Alliance, hade out.
The first thing he did wasn¡¯t to look at Old Seven, who was ready for a big fight, nor at his Holy Light Knight squad that had been wiped out, but at Bruce Hodge, who was enveloped in the light of death.
¡°Is this your imed action?
You said you were going to trap a big fish, that you needed my convenience, I was thinking you were going after a huge fish, but this is it?¡±
The moment Cyril Kaye finished speaking, Old Seven charged straight at him In an instant, he reached Cyril Kaye and fiercely plunged his spear into him.
¡°Pff!¡±
The spear pierced through Cyril Kaye, and almost simultaneously, Old Eight appeared behind Cyril Kaye, shing his throat with a dagger.
The two finishing movesnded at the same time, making Bruce Hodge¡¯s face change drastically.
¡°Damn it!¡±
Bruce Hodge had not expected this, his people were just talking big, and they got hit by two finishing moves.
At the sight of the spear piercing through Cyril Kaye¡¯s chest, and the dagger shing his throat, Bruce Hodge felt a sense of despair.
Damn it, he entered the scene so grandly, but turned out to be so useless?
He was going down in just one round?
This is the end!
However, just as Bruce Hodge was in the grip of despair, Cyril Kaye¡¯s voice echoed again, ¡°Damn it? No, I¡¯m great!¡±
At the same time, the sacred light in Cyril Kaye¡¯s body exploded again. With a casual wave, Old Seven¡¯s Pupil Fire flickered, immediately giving up the long spear skeleton in his hand and retreating. This allowed him to avoid being hit, but Old Eight was not so lucky and was directly hit in the face by the sacred light.
Although Old Eight¡¯s Strong Stealth was invincible, the invincibility provided by his extraordinary quality was greatly reduced in the face of the opponent¡¯s legendary trait. It onlysted for a second before shattering and Old Eight was literally plucked out of the void.
Grabbing Old Eight, a faint smile curled up on Cyril Kaye¡¯s lips: ¡°Trying to y hide and seek with me?
Do you know what my trait is?
My trait is Holy Light Domain. Within my domain, no one, absolutely no one can ambush me. Your invisibility is as conspicuous as a clown with a red ass and red nose in my eyes!¡±
As he spoke, Cyril Kaye exerted force in his hand.
A ¡°snap¡±ter, Old Eight¡¯s entire skeleton exploded, instantaneously killed by that single move.
Old Eight was mainly just unlucky, running into an opponent with a higher level temte and a type that countered his own. He was taken down before he had a chance to counter.
At the same time when Old Eight was crushed, Old Seven realized that he might not be able to defeat the opponent, so he immediately tried to run.
But when Old Seven retreated, he found that the surrounding sacred light seemed to block him as if it had a will of its own, preventing him from leaving. At the same time, Cyril Kaye¡¯s gaze fell on Old Seven.
¡°What? Seeing me kill yourpanion, your first reaction is not to seek revenge but to run?
Truly a vile and filthy wraith.
But in my Holy Light Domain, you cane and go as you please. Well, technically, only the ing¡¯ part, the ¡®going¡¯ is up to me.
You can only leave if I allow you to. I won¡¯t let you go,e here!¡±
Cyril Kaye roared angrily, and Old Seven immediately felt the sacred light around him resisting him. A powerful force relentlessly pushed him towards the front of Cyril Kaye.
This kind of power would never have scared Old Seven in his prime.
He could directly withstand it, or even charge and bring a huge surprise to Cyril Kaye.
The problem was that Old Seven only had thirty percent of his attribute points now, and he waspletely no match for the opponent.
Facing this situation, Old Seven gritted his teeth andunched a Fearless Charge and a Final Strike.
¡°You finally show some of the spirit a knight should have in the end, but it¡¯s a joke in front of absolute power!¡±
As he spoke, a wall of sacred light rose in front of Cyril Kaye and was casually ced in front of him.
But when Old Seven¡¯s attack hit the wall, Cyril Kaye¡¯s face involuntarily changed.
It was then he realized that he had somewhat underestimated the opponent¡¯s attack. His casual Holy Light Wall was somewhat unable to withstand it. But he quickly exerted additional force.
Only by using sixty to seventy percent of his power could he barely withstand Old Seven¡¯sst-ditch attack.
¡°It¡¯s a bit of force, but that¡¯s it. I¡¯m in a hurry, you can go die!¡±
As he spoke, Cyril Kaye waved his hand casually, and a ray of sacred light fell on Old Seven.
Old Seven, who hadunched a Final Strike, hadpletely no chance to dodge or resist and was directly blown to pieces.
Seeing this scene, Bruce Hodge drew a sharp breath.
¡°That¡ that¡¯s it?¡±
Although he knew from the start that Cyril Kaye was powerful, he didn¡¯t expect him to be so powerful. A powerful appearance, followed by a few light and breezy moves.
Those two¡ no, just one skeleton was already a nightmare for him. Combined, the two of them couldn¡¯t hold on.
At this moment, Bruce Hodge deeply felt the supreme weight carried by Cyril Kaye as a pir of the Alliance.
After killing Old Seven and Old Eight, Cyril Kaye¡¯s gaze fell on Bruce Hodge: ¡°I take back what I just said. Considering your caliber, these two fish are indeed quite big.
But regrettably, they are still a bit too small for me.
Even if I had to support the Heavenly Abyss with one hand, I could still suppress everything else with the other!¡±
Listening to Cyril Kaye¡¯s words, and looking at the sacred light overflowing from him, Bruce Hodge had to admit that Cyril Kaye was extremely dazzling in his eyes, almost having an invincible aura.
Just when this was happening, an arrow came from afar.
Cyril Kaye¡¯s face changed drastically at the sight. He spun around in despair and yelled towards the depths of the Heavenly Abyss: ¡°Holy One, save me¡.¡±
Chapter 362: 208 Doggy Two Appears
Chapter 362: 208 Doggy Two Appears
The undefeatable aura Cyril Kaye had a second ago turned miserable in another.
He was rolling and crawling in pure panic.
His face filled with both fear and despair.
He had every reason to.
The moment an arrow flew towards him, Cyril Kaye felt like his great grandmother was beckoning him.
He knew he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it.
He absolutely wouldn¡¯t be able to resist that arrow, and if he did, he would definitely die.
So, he did not hesitate to turn and race into the depths of the Heavenly Abyss, fleeing while frantically begging the Holy Son inside for help.
However, the copse of his aura in that instant left Bruce Hodge dumbfounded.
He never expected to see such an explosive scene.
The invincible presence just now had instantly turned into a fleeing clown.
What shocked him even more was that the next second, an arrow came straight at him.
When faced with the iing arrow, Cyril Kaye, who was attempting to escape, instinctively summoned his Holy Light Domain for defense. But it proved to be of no help.
¡°Psh!¡±
Under that arrow, Cyril Kaye¡¯s Holy Light and Holy Light Domain were prated as if they were made of paper, and he himself was nailed to the ground just like a dead dog.
He was killed in an instant!
Watching this scene, as Bruce Hodge turned his head towards the direction where the arrow came from, the sight of a distant Skeleton Archer gave him a gut-punch. His lifelong understanding of the world was being shattered.
¡°What on earth have I provoked?¡±
Bruce Hodge originally thought that Old Seven and Old Eight were already unrivaled in the world, they were Dean McKenzie¡¯s absolutely top cards.
But he didn¡¯t expect that Dean McKenzie still held an ace up his sleeve.
Cyril Kaye was killed with just a single arrow!
Just how formidable of an existence must this skeleton be?
At the very least, it should be a Seven-Turn Legendary Temte, right?
How much time has passed? Does Dean McKenzie even have a skeleton of this level?
¡°I should never have set this damn trap!¡±
Now, Bruce Hodge¡¯s heart was filled with nothing but regret.
After all, Cyril Kaye was basically his ace in the hole, and now that even Cyril
Kaye had fallen, he basically had no chance of fighting back!
Although Cyril Kaye doesn¡¯t look dead yet, but he¡¯s not far off from it.
As long as they send another arrow, Cyrus Kaye will die and he will lose too. Even now, if he is lucky enough to survive through this desperate challenge, Bruce Hodge still has no confidence that he will be able to withstand the opponent¡¯s next arrow.
In Bruce Hodge¡¯s eyes, his own execution had basically been announced. The only difference was whether he¡¯d die now or in a little while, whether he¡¯d die in the death match or under the arrow of that suddenly appeared skeleton. However, Cyril Kaye, pinned to the ground by Old Nine¡¯s arrow, refused to admit defeat.
He felt that he was just unlucky to have encountered an opponent who was a perfect counter to himself.
Moreover, the other party was just outside his Holy Light Domain, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have been so miserable.
The arrow was fast because the opponent was outside his domain. If the opponent would enter his domain, he could ensure that his fist would be faster than their arrow.
He refused to ept his defeat!
But refusal or not, he was now pinned to ground.
At the same time, the bow and arrow in the hand of the Skeleton Archer on the other side was drawn again.
At this moment, Cyril Kaye¡¯s forehead was sore.
He knew very well that his head had been targeted.
The next arrow could st his head!
Under such conditions, if he wanted to survive, there was only one way left; he could only beg for the help of the Holy Son beyond the Heavenly Abyss. ¡°Holy Son, save me. I have made meritorious deeds for you, I have shed blood for you.
You must save me!
You can¡¯t give up on such a loyal dog regardless of my merits. You can¡¯t afford to ignore my position and status here!
Facing the attack that was about to strike his head, Cyril Kaye let out a hysterical roar.
Insanely begging for mercy from the Heavenly Abyss.
At this moment, he tossed away his dignity and self-esteem, and like a dog drowning on the verge of death, he wagged his tail and howled at his owner.
This scene, honestly, shocked Bruce Hodge harder than that of Old Nine¡¯s arrow just now.
He really didn¡¯t expect that Cyril Kaye was the kind to be insolent when lucky, but beg for mercy in adversity.
Such a one was one of the four cornerstones of the Alliance?
At this moment, Bruce Hodge had a strong premonition that the Alliance would soon fall apart.
However, Cyril Kaye¡¯s frantic plea for help also filled him with a bit of anticipation.
He hoped that this guy could really survive, that he could really turn the tide. At this point, Bruce Hodge felt that he had a hundred percent chance of dying. Even if Cyril Kaye survived in the end, he would eliminate him as a witness to his miserable condition.
But still, Bruce Hodge hoped Cyril Kaye would struggle a bit more.
He hoped to see Cyril Kaye blow up Dean McKenzie¡¯s top ace card. After all, his current predicament was all because of Dean McKenzie. If he was to die, naturally he would not wish for Dean McKenzie to have it easy.
Dean McKenzie himself did note, so let his top ace die here.
That would probably anguish him for a long time and may even lead to his downfall!
¡°After all, Dean McKenzie can¡¯t possibly have another skeleton of this level, can he?¡±
Just judging by the strength Dean McKenzie exhibited now, Bruce Hodge already found it absurd. If he had anything more, it would be way too much!
¡°Psh!¡±
Amidst Cyril Kaye¡¯s plea for help, and Bruce Hodge¡¯s anticipation¡.
Chapter 363: 208 Doggy Two Appears_2
The arrow in Old Nine¡¯s hand was shot out sharply.
As the arrow flew, the entire cell went silent for an instant, everyone¡¯s gaze centered on this arrow.
Even Cyril Kaye, begging for mercy, lost all color in his face under this arrow. He was going to die!
He knew very well, if he took this arrow head-on and if the Chosen One didn¡¯t intervene, he¡¯d surely die.
Helpless to resist, he gave up entirely, spreading his arms wide and closing his eyes to await his death.
At this moment, a stern reprimand echoed in his ears.
¡°Coward! As a warrior guarding the Holy Light, how can you surrender when faced with darkness?¡±
With the roar in his ears, Cyril Kaye¡¯s eyes shot open, and intense tion followed.
Because he saw, right before his own eyes, that arrow of his doom paused in front of a Holy Light Cross.
Obviously, the Chosen One from the Heavenly Abyss had taken action.
¡°Lord Chosen One!¡±
¡°Here in the Heavenly Abyss, the help I can provide you is limited, this is the extreme I can offer, what follows depends on you!¡±
The voice of the Chosen One from the Heavenly Abyss rang out. At the same time, an intense Holy Light shone from Cyril Kaye¡¯s chest.
The next second, Kaye was ecstatic to find that his all attributes had increased tenfold, and his Holy Light Domain had expanded tenfold as well.
What thrilled Cyril Kaye the most was that the opponent was directly included in his domain.
In an instant, Cyril Kaye felt hopeful again.
The surge in attributes, the surge in his domain, and the enemies werepletely within his domain range.
This situation, wasn¡¯t it a guarantee of victory?
Filthy skeleton, just now that round doesn¡¯t count, now let¡¯s have a fair fight!¡± Hearing Cyril¡¯s words, both Bruce Hodge and Donald Morgan, who were sneakily watching from the side, felt like throwing up.
They sneered, this guy actually had the face to im a fair fight after resorting to outside aid and showing all his cards?
How could he be so shameless?
And yet, Bruce Hodge and Donald Morgan noticed that what Cyril Kaye said seemed unarguably right.
Because he indeed needed to be in this condition to be able to fight Old Nine fairly.
Even under this condition, his fight with Old Nine couldn¡¯t be considered fair. Suddenly, a dark golden longbow appeared in Old Nine¡¯s hands and he once again drew his bow.
As Old Nine drew his bow for the third time, everyone¡¯s faces changed color. No matter whether it was Cyril Kaye, who had just been fully revived and arrogantly dered he would fight Old Nine fairly, or Bruce Hodge and Donald Morgan who were onlookers at the sideline.
The Chosen One outside the Heavenly Abyss also changed color.
That was because he felt an rming aura from Old Nine¡¯s arrow.
At this moment, both Bruce Hodge and Donald Morgan felt a shock wave at the sight of the bow and arrow in Old Nine¡¯s hands.
They both had been keeping a close eye on Dean McKenzie.
They clearly knew that Dean McKenzie had recently fought with the Hunting Church.
8
They also knew that the Hunting Church¡¯s Sect¡¯s Divine Weapon was a seventh-turn Golden Quality bow, which looked pretty much the same as this one, but of slightly lower quality.
Clearly, this couldn¡¯t possibly be the bow of the Hunting Church, yet it couldn¡¯t be unrted to the Hunting Church.
Upon realizing this, Bruce Hodge couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath, recalling the potential that his secretary had previously mentioned.
Could it be, were Dean carzy wasn¡¯t actually wounded by the Mark of the Hunting God?
Could it be that Dean McKenzie survived from the grasp of Mark of the Hunting
Thinking of this possibility, Bruce Hodge couldn¡¯t wait to give himself a hard p in the face.
It s all my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have set this huge trap.
I shouldn¡¯t have given face to Ennis Hawkins in the first ce.
If not, this wouldn¡¯t have happened today, just what kind of terrifying existence have I provoked?¡±
While Bruce Hodge regretted and panicked on one side, on the other, Cyril Kaye standing in front of Old Nine was even more regretful and panicked.
He never expected that he was merely bluffing, but the result was so significant.
Those two arrows just now, they were far from the opponent¡¯s limit.
The arrow in front of him was ten times, a hundred times, a thousand, ten thousand times more terrifying than the previous two arrows!
Regrettably, there was no way out for Cyril Kaye now.
The Chosen One behind him had already helped him once, he had lost all hope now.
¡°Then I can only fight to the death!¡±
Cyril Kaye roared, exploding with all the power he could muster.
Faster, even faster, even faster!
He must, must, must strike before the opponent unleashes his attack, and kill him first!
This was Cyril Kaye¡¯s only hope of survival.
Unfortunately, in the end, Cyril Kaye had failed to surpass Old Nine. In the midst of his power output, the arrow in Old Nine¡¯s hand shot out.
And with this arrow, Old Nine used the SS-level Trait, God¡¯s Arrow and the Bow of Hunting¡¯s Absolute Hit.
The moment Old Nine released the arrow, it pierced straight through Cyril Kaye¡¯s heart.
An immense power erupted at that moment.
Cyril Kaye clearly felt his own power being drained bit by bit.
Cyril Kaye was about to die.
At this point, the Chosen One on the side of the Heavenly Abyss raised an eyebrow.
He gently touched his finger.
In an instant, Cyril Kaye¡¯s Holy Light Domain, which he was no longer able to control properly, exploded.
With the explosion of the Holy Light Domain, Cyril Kaye was directly killed on the spot.
However, while Cyril Kaye was dead, Old Nine, who was inside the domain, was hit with a brunt of the explosion..
Chapter 364: 208 Doggy Two Appears_3
This explosion shattered Old Nine¡¯s skeleton from top to bottom.
When the explosion ceased, only Old Nine¡¯s head remained.
Old Nine, who could have won with an absolute advantage, eventually won at a
terrible cost.
At the sight of this, the feelings of Bruce Hodge and Donald Morgan were
entirely different.
After all, they stood on different sides.
Looking at the barely alive Old Nine, Donald Morgan was full of heartache for
Dean McKenzie. It would be quite challenging to get such a powerful skeleton back on its feet, he thought.
Meanwhile, Bruce was bursting with joy.
The only regret he had was his current state.
At the moment, he wished he could go up and kick the dog while it was down
and stomp hard on Old Nine¡¯s head.
As this thought crossed Bruce¡¯s mind, a holy light suddenly gathered in the field, forming a figure standing right in front of him.
Looking at the suddenly appearing divine light, Bruce was first taken aback.
But soon after recalling Cyril Kaye¡¯s plea for mercy, he quickly reacted.
¡°The Saint?¡±
¡°In your current state, I can save your life!
The other party did not correct Bruce¡¯s words, nor did they waste time cracking jokes. They got straight to the point instead.
Hearing these words, Bruce¡¯s eyes shone brightly.
Then without hesitation, he kneeled down: ¡°Saint Lord, Bruce has wandered through the world for all his life. If you don¡¯t abandon me, I¡¯m willing to go through hell and high water for you regardless if it costs me my life.¡±
¡°No need for hell and high water, just sign this contract!¡±
The other party threw a contract right in front of Bruce.
Seeing this, Donald Morgan felt something was off and tried to stop Bruce as soon as he could.
However, as soon as he started running, he realized he couldn¡¯t intervene in either Bruce¡¯s or that holy light¡¯s actions. All he could do was watch as the holy light handed the contract to Bruce.
Then, as ready as Bruce had been to endure hell and high water, he didn¡¯t hesitate to refuse.
¡°Saint Lord, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t sign this contract!¡±
Abiding by the saying is one thing, but once he signed that contract, his life would no longer be his own.
The other party¡¯s eyebrows raised: ¡°Don¡¯t you want to live?
¡°I do!¡±
Bruce nodded heavily: ¡°But I value freedom more. Besides, even if I don¡¯t sign
it, you won¡¯t let me die!
Given my condition and your situation, to ensure my survival will definitely cost you a lot. You would only be willing to pay this high price if there¡¯s a significant benefit for you.
So, even if I don¡¯t sign, you¡¯ll still save me!
Let¡¯s change the term. You save me, let me know what you need me to do, and
Hl do it!¡±
The holy light on the other side fell silent for a moment before speaking:
¡°You¡¯re much smarter than that idiot, Cyril Kaye.
And you¡¯re much more audacious than him, but I¡¯m not against your audacity.
Sign this, and I can let you live!¡±
Another contract was thrown in Bruce¡¯s face.
This contract was different from the previous one, which had demanded Bruce to serve the other party once he was saved, with his life entirely under the other party¡¯s control.
This new contract only required Bruce to help him kill Old Nine and the nefarious Necromancer behind Old Nine while sending their bodies to Heavenly Abyss.
In return, he could guarantee Bruce wouldn¡¯t die.
These terms were quite generous, but Bruce once again refused without a second thought.
¡°You overestimate me, I couldn¡¯t even ovee a single skeleton of theirs let alone the Necromancer behind them. I can¡¯t meet this condition!¡± ¡°You cannot agree to this, you cannot agree to that. Do you even want to live?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Bruce certainly wanted to, of course.
He didn¡¯t just want to survive, he wanted to survive without any issues.
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s trump card, the Skeleton, seemed to be almost dead, who knew what other tricks Dean had up his sleeve?
Bruce didn¡¯t have the courage to fight Dean McKenzie again.
But Bruce Hodge knew that without paying anything, the other party would never help him. Therefore, he quickly added, ¡°I can help you kill this Skeleton Archer and deliver its corpse to you!¡±
¡°Sign!¡±
The other party hesitated for a moment and handed over a new contract. Bruce Hodge browsed it several times, making sure there were no problems with the contract. If he survived the Game of Death, he would kill Old Nine and deliver his body to Heavenly Abyss. Without hesitation, Bruce Hodge signed his name.
¡°Your turn!¡±
As soon as Bruce Hodge had signed his name, he turned his gaze to the other person.
The other person picked up the contract and chuckled lightly, ¡°Actually, this ? kind of gamble can only be done barehanded, I don¡¯t have any other options!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Bruce Hodge felt shocked!
He thought he had been under great pressure, but his contract was ground down to only giving him the advantage of picking up Old Nine¡¯s head.
He never thought the other person had taken more from him.
Without putting anything in, the other man had snatched a contract right from under his nose.
But soon enough, Bruce Hodge couldn¡¯t afford to be angry.
Because, the system prompt had refreshed.
[You have won the Game of Death, you receive the reward of the Reaper! ]
Along with this system prompt, the dark force inside Bruce Hodge exploded, covering his surroundings.
Itpletely covered the cells.
More importantly, it covered the
5oo Holy Light Knights that had just been killed, it covered Lilia, the Holy Light Female Knight Captain, and it covered Cyril Kaye who had just died.
As they were covered, a surge of energy flooded into Bruce Hodge¡¯s body the next second.
As soon as this power entered his body, Bruce Hodge found that his all attributes were skyrocketing at an incredible speed.
At the same time, his temte was also upgraded from Extraordinary to Legendary.
In less than ten minutes, Bruce Hodge hadpleted his metamorphosis from being weak to strong, like a dying maning back to life.
Is this what it feels like to take a shortcut?
Is this what it feels like to pick something up for nothing?
is he the one who ultimately profits from the fallout between Dean McKenzie and Cyril Kaye?
At this moment, Bruce Hodge felt fantastic in an unprecedented way.
Until the voice of the child saint echoed out.
¡°Congrattions, congrattions, you have good luck!
Bruce Hodge¡¯s face turned ck instantly, feeling as ufortable as dropping an ice cream on the ground in the middle of summer.
Annoyed beyond measure!
¡°Not as good as your means!¡±
After responding with a hum, Bruce Hodge went back to Old Nine.
Although he was tricked into signing a contract unknowingly and he was upset, as for stomping on Old Nine¡¯s head, Bruce Hodge was willing to do it.
¡°Crack!¡±
As he stepped on Old Nine¡¯s body, Bruce Hodge felt his mood recovering. This was the feeling, feeling rxed like going back to an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day, one word, refreshing!
However, Bruce Hodge felt a little cold, a little chilly.
It was like being surrounded by hundreds of ghosts in a cemetery.
No, no, it wasn¡¯t like, it was happening!
Bruce Hodge stepped on Old Nine¡¯s head, only to realize that his surroundings were filled with skeletons.
What was terrifying was that all of these skeletons were of the Seven-turn level.
The worst ones were of Rare Quality, and there were even nearly two hundred Perfect Quality Seven-turn Skeletons.
At the very front, there was a skeleton sitting on the Bone Throne, holding a Dragon Bone Sword and looking at him with icy Pupil Fire.
At this moment, Bruce Hodge understood profoundly what it meant to go from heaven to hell, and then back to hell from heaven!
Bruce Hodge suddenly woke up and pped himself hard.
¡°I shouldn¡¯t have disrespected Ennis Hawkins!¡±
Chapter 365: 209 Seizing Divine Attribute
Even though Bruce Hodge had already tried his best to gauge Dean McKenzie¡¯s strength.
But each time, Dean had sessfully shattered his perception about him.
Just when he thought Dean had reached his limits, Dean would show him through actual actions that ¡°No, this was far from my limit.¡±
As hundreds of thousands of Seven-turn Skeletons swarmed them.
Not just Bruce Hodge, Donald Morgan, and the Abyss, but even Old Nine waspletely floored!
Just when he thought he had rebelled and left the main team to im his victory.
But instead of reaping any reward, he had been beaten to the ground.
He wished he could lower his head into the dust now!
Old Nine had no doubt, Old Two must have beenughing now!
But in fact, Old Nine was mistaken!
Doggy Two was not the type to stand by andugh when his family was taken down!
Because, he didn¡¯t need tough secretly!
He couldugh openly and honestly.
Doggy Two, sitting on the throne, watched as Old Niney unmoving on the ground. As Old Seven and Eight had been crushed to ashes, he burst into heartyughter.
They deserved it!
Let them rush around, take them down, and now they are beaten ck and blue!
Although Doggy Two didn¡¯t have a vocal cord, his Seven-turn strength was enough to make him burst intoughter.
Theughter was so piercing that Old Nine buried his head directly into the ground.
So embarrassing! Oh no, it was the loss of a Skeleton!
He had never been so embarrassed in his life!
Of course, Old Two did not justugh at Old Nine, as the king of Bones, Old Two was quite reliable.
Unlike Old Seven and Eight who just dove into the fight.
Whileughing, Old Two¡¯s gazended on Bruce Hodge and Donald Morgan. Bruce Hodge¡¯s profile had been given to Old Two by Dean McKenzie and without a doubt, based on his current actions, he is an enemy.
Donald Morgan, on the other hand, was an ally who was assisting them in rescuing people.
¡°Donald Morgan, whereabouts of the person my Owner needs to save?¡±
The unique skeletal reverberation made Old Two¡¯s voice full of authority and resonance.
Hearing this, Donald Morgan quickly came back to his senses from his temporary confusion and turned to Bruce Hodge, saying, ¡°Ask him, he has hidden the person!¡±
Donald Morgan pointed, and Doggy Two¡¯s Pupil Fire also focused on Bruce Hodge.
¡°Homo sapien, my mission is to bring Mr. Ennis Hawkins to my owner.
Hand him over, and I can spare your life!¡±
Bruce Hodge¡¯s eyebrows raised.
He took a look at the surrounding dense mass of Skeletons.
Even though his strength had skyrocketed, Bruce Hodge did not dare to believe that he could take care of all the Skeletons.
So at this time, Bruce Hodge appeared to be quite rational.
He thought that there should be some human touch and wisdom in the dealings among professionals. Problems that could be solved with words should not escte to the level of violence.
If not, fighting could get very deadly.
¡°I can hand him over, but you need to clear a path for me first!¡±
¡°Let me see the person first!¡±
Doggy Two, sitting on the throne, replied in a very assertive tone.
Bruce Hodge raised his eyebrow and flicked his hand. Instantly, a luxurious room door opened, revealing Ennis Hawkins lying in a luxurious room with his eyes tightly closed and held by pale arms!
Doggy Two¡¯s Pupil Fire flickered, and his gazended on Donald Morgan.
¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s Anthony!¡±
Donald Morgan gave a firm nod.
After receiving this answer, Doggy Two waved, and the next second, the
Skeletons under hismand parted, opening a path.
¡°Hand the person over and then you can leave!¡±
Doggy Two said this simply, and Bruce Hodge practically didn¡¯t hesitate at all to get Ennis Hawkins out of the room.
At the same time, he dashed towards the path Doggy Two had just opened.
But just as he moved, Doggy Two¡¯s figure appeared in front of him with the throne.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
Bruce Hodge raised an eyebrow, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that once I hand him over, you let me leave?¡±
¡°Yes, you can leave, but you can¡¯t really go.
You will have to wait until we confirm that there¡¯s no problem with the person before you can leave!¡±
Doggy Two answered logically.
Hearing this, Bruce Hodge started to have a headache.
Here ites again!
Bruce Hodge did not doubt that he had met another person who wanted to take a sneak advantage.
¡°What do you mean by wait until you confirm there¡¯s no problem before leaving? If you confirm there¡¯s no problem, then I won¡¯t be able to leave!
What do you mean by sparing my life, you never intended to let me go at all!!¡± ¡°Sparing your life and letting you go are two different things, right?¡±
Doggy Two replied, ¡°Even if you hand over the person, I can spare your life, but at the least, I have to take you back to my owner for disposal!¡±
When Doggy Two uttered this honest sentence, Bruce Hodge went berserk! ¡°Alright, alright, alright! Everyone is treating me like a fool, aren¡¯t they?
It¡¯s one thing for that saint to do so, but what are you that you also dare to mess with me?¡±
Bruce Hodge¡¯s gaze swept over Old Two and the Skeletons behind him.
At this moment, he had confirmed several times that there was not a single
Seven-turn Legendary Quality Skeleton present.
The one in front of him was only a Seven-turn Extraordinary Quality Skeleton. ¡°You are just a Seven-turn Extraordinary Quality Skeleton, and you dare to babble in front of me?
¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you!¡±
At this moment, Bruce Hodge burst out with all his strength.
It was the reward he had won from the Grim Reaper in a wager.
500 Holy Knights, one Seven-turn Extraordinary Temte Knight
Commander, and one Seven-turn Legendary Temte among the Four Pirs..
Chapter 366: 209 Plundering Divine Attribute !
At this moment, all their strength converged within Bruce Hodge¡¯s body, the extent of his enhancement was beyond his knowledge.
How could he bear the grievance bestowed upon him from Doggy Two with his newly enhanced dreadful strength?
¡°Ignorant fool, you must pay for daring to offend the strong!¡±
In Bruce Hodge¡¯s roar, his strength burst forth, in an instant, his menacing powerpletely engulfed the entire prison cell.
The entire prison cell transformed into his extremely luxurious room.
Meanwhile, an immenselyrge, pale hand began to form.
This hand, a manifestation of Bruce Hodge¡¯s current maximum potential, its terrifying power drastically magnified, several dozen times, even up to a hundred times stronger than its previous enhancements.
¡°Die!¡±
Bruce Hodge roared and the hand mercilessly swung down.
It struck Doggy Two with an unprecedented force.
The entire prison cell reverberated with the impact.
If it had struck a mountain, Bruce Hodge had no doubt that his blow would reduce a small peak of several hundred meters to dust.
Bruce Hodge was already eager to see Doggy Two explode under his blow.
However, the next moment, Bruce Hodge¡¯s entire body froze.
The feedback from the attack in front of him took him by surprise.
Bruce Hodge saw with his own eyes, as Doggy Two stood idle without resisting or defending against his attack.
As a result, the attack simply ceased to exist uponnding on Doggy Two¡¯s body.
His attack was directly crushed.
Moreover, not only was his attack shattered, the luxurious room he had conjured teetered on the brink of copse.
Bruce Hodge felt it clearly, at that moment, a horrifying force of high quality surged from Doggy Two¡¯s skeletal structure.
That power directly resulted in the copse of his attack and room.
At the same time, Bruce Hodge himself was on the verge of copse.
What the hell!
Where is the justice in this world?
Bruce knew very clearly that the force that was erupted by his opponent was definitely the power of a Legendary level trait!
A seven-turn Extraordinary Temte skeleton, capable of exploding with Legendary level strength?
Bruce Hodge felt this world was too crazy.
Instantly, Bruce Hodge lost all his fighting spirit. There¡¯s no hope of defeating such a monster, so he turned around without hesitation and fled in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, Doggy Two didn¡¯t pursue.
Instead, a few seven-turn perfect quality skeletons in the direction where
Bruce Hodge was, stood before him obliviously.
Bruce Hodgeughed on the spot.
He might not be able to beat Doggy Two, but he couldn¡¯t beat these perfect quality skeletons either?
These trash dare to stop him?
Such ignorance!
Bruce Hodge¡¯s attack fell, ready to shatter these skeletons before him and break through to freedom.
But when his attack fell on these skeletons, Bruce Hodge went stupid.
His strong attack fell down and the seven-orders perfect quality skeletons were actually unharmed?
¡°You¡¯re kidding me, right?
Do they also have a Legendary trait?¡±
Sure enough, Bruce Hodge soon realized.
The skeletons in front of him didn¡¯t have a Legendary Trait, but others did.
In the Skeleton Army, one inconspicuous one, was Old Four, possessing one of the most despair-inducing traits ¡ª Damage Reduction by 95%.
It could reduce 95% of the damage and protect others with a shield.
Old Four ced a ¡°Guardian Shield¡± on the skeletons, and the terrifying defense caused Bruce Hodge to despair.
Could he not despair?
His attacks fell on the opponent and they didn¡¯t feel the pain, but when the opponents retaliated, it was different.
The vocation that Bruce Hodge chose was not defensive, quite the contrary, it was a squishy profession highly vulnerable to closebat; when confronted with several imprable skeletons, Bruce Hodge was severely bullied.
Facing this quandary, Bruce Hodge gritted his teeth, giving up on resisting and preparing himself to endure the damage from the skeletons.
At that moment, a long sword pierced his abdomen from behind.
Bruce Hodge got excited, just about to use his skill, to switch positions with his sly woman. But then he found all his spirit power and all his moves were ineffective.
Because that sword belonged to Doggy Two.
All of Bruce Hodge¡¯s fancy skills were useless before Doggy Two¡¯s Anti-Magic Attack.
With one strike, Bruce Hodge was nailed to the ground.
At this moment, Doggy Two looked towards Ennis Hawkins.
Ennis Hawkins, who was released by Bruce Hodge, was covered inyers of pale arms. Donald Morgan was helpless beside him.
Seeing this, Doggy Two dragged Bruce Hodge, who was like a dead dog under his Anti-magic Attack, over to Ennis Hawkins.
With a wave of his hand, the Anti-magic Attack took effect on Ennis Hawkins.
Theyers of pale arms binding Ennis Hawkins instantly disappeared.
However, just as these pale armspletely disappeared.
The son of God, who had disappeared as soon as they arrived, suddenly made a move, the contract in his hand burning hot.
With the help of the contract¡¯s power, the son of God, who couldn¡¯t directly influence this world, gained temporary agency and unexpectedly took control of Ennis Hawkins¡¯s body.
He forced Ennis Hawkins to open his eyes suddenly, bursting with tremendous strength, pushing Doggy Two and Donald Morgan away, and charged towards Old Nine.
At this moment, Old Nine¡¯s eyes were filled with greed.
After all, whaty before him was a Divine Attribute!
Despite racking his brains, he couldn¡¯t figure out why it would appear on a Seven-turn Skeleton.
But does that matter?
What¡¯s important is, this Divine Attribute is a tremendous opportunity for him.
As long as he gets his hands on it, he has confidence that he can ignite the divine fire and be a demigod in a few years.
A demigod, an eternal existence.
If he could be a demigod, he would have a better chance of bing the true son of God.
Therefore, he absolutely couldn¡¯t let this Divine Attribute slip away.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Old Nine, seized him, and exerted his Spirit Power to extract the Divine Attribute from Old Nine¡¯s body.
Doggy Two and the rest continued to chase after them.
But what if they caught up?
With no regard for the consequences, the son of God saw only two options to interrupt his casting.
Either to kill his own body, or to kill Old Nine.
His body¡¯s owner, the one their master had gone to great lengths to save, they couldn¡¯t kill. Could they kill Old Nine then?
As long as they hesitated for a moment, he could have it all¡
¡°Plop!¡±
Without any hesitation, Doggy Two sted Old Nine¡¯s head.
In that moment, one could even see the excitement shing in Doggy Two¡¯s Pupil Fire.
Obviously, he had long been ready to do this, and today he finally got the opportunity.
Someday when the sword is in hand, y all the disloyal dogs under the heaven!
As Doggy Two¡¯s sword fell, the son of God upying Ennis Hawkins¡¯ body was dumbfounded and missed the Divine Attribute.
At this moment, no one could understand his feeling of losing the Divine Attribute in his reach.
Anger, the raging fury of wanting to ughter everything, erupted in his heart.
But he had no solution now and even had to leave Ennis Hawkins¡¯ body.
The unwilling son of God gritted his teeth, forcibly tore a small part of his soul, fused it into Ennis Hawkins¡¯ body, while his own soul was punched back to Heavenly Abyss!
As he left, his voice echoed throughout the prison.
¡°If you want to save him, bring that Skeleton to see me in Heavenly Abyss!
Come see me!¡±
Doggy Two and Donald Morgan looked at each other.
¡°Leave first, you guys made such a bigmotion, the Alliance won¡¯t be indifferent!
Hurry up and leave, we¡¯ll see about Anthony¡¯s situationter!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Doggy Two nodded heavily: ¡®You go first, I¡¯ll get the master some gifts before I leave!¡±
¡°Gifts? What gifts?¡±
Donald Morgan was a bit dumbfounded, the crisis was imminent, what gifts to talk about?
Then he saw Doggy Two grab Bruce Hodge: ¡°Where are all the treasures here? Give them all to me!¡±
Chapter 367: 210 Rescue operation concludes, dungeons open
News of Anthony¡¯s rescue reached Dean McKenzie from Donald Morgan, even though they were far apart.
After learning that Anthony had been rescued and the situation herepletely resolved.
Couldn¡¯t contain his emotions, Dean utilized his Flight Skill and covered 1500 kilometres in under an hour to reach Thorn Oak City.
Once Dean arrived, he opened the Gate of Bone without a word, brought every skeleton and person back, and then, he used his Flight Skill to fly away directly.
The speed of his actions was so swift that even the Alliance was taken aback, let alone Donald Morgan.
His gaze towards Dean held a certainplexity.
Considering how powerful you¡¯ve be, is there really a need to be this anxious?
In terms ofbat capability as demonstrated by Dean, not many in the Alliance could rival him.
Even if there are some who could, considering the efficiency of the Alliance, it would take at least three to five days for an investigation team to arrive at Thorn Oak City. Dean was indeed being overly cautious.
Of course, it¡¯s not a bad thing to be cautious.
Being cautious allows one to live longer.
What confused Donald Morgan was the fact that Dean, in his urgency, still had time to rob the Treasure Vault of Thorn Oak City and even take everything from Cyril Kaye¡¯s house in the Heavenly Abyss.
This truly seemed like he was prioritizing wealth over his life.
Dean gave Donald Morgan a sidelong nce.
You don¡¯t know anything!
Your knowledge is as short as your hair!
In this society, money is life!
¡°How is Anthony doing?¡±
Upon returning to the seaside, Dean felt a lot more rxed and the first thing he did was check on Ennis Hawkins¡¯s condition in the Land of Bone.
¡°He¡¯s still unconscious!¡±
Donald Morgan responded, making room for Dean.
After more than half a year, Dean saw Anthony again.
And at this moment, Anthony had his eyes tightly shut.
Dean looked at him and cast his Appraisal Skill.
Name: Ennis Hawkins
Level: 140
Temte: ???
Status: Fusion in progress
Note: The target¡¯s soul is injured, but it seems to be gradually healing due to additional unidentified soul energy.
Estimated time for recovery is 180 days.
After seeing this attribute, Dean raised an eyebrow.
This situation seems a bit different from what he anticipated.
¡°Did you say that Anthony was previously controlled by someone?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°Did the invader leave a mark on Anthony before leaving?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
¡°That guy is a good guy!¡±
Dean couldn¡¯t help but nod.
¡°What?¡±
Donald Morgan waspletely baffled.
Dean didn¡¯t borate, his gaze watched over the unconscious Anthony: ¡°It seems he might be in aa for a year or so. Can I keep him here during this time?
¡°No, I must take him away!¡±
Donald Morgan shook his head without any hesitation.
¡°Hmm?¡±
Dean raised an eyebrow and cast a nce at Donald Morgan, ¡°Are you sure?¡±
Although Dean¡¯s tone was calm, it exerted a tremendous pressure on Donald Morgan, forcing him to swallow nervously.
This was because in that moment, the gaze of all the skeletons in the Land of Bone also shifted towards Donald Morgan.
The pressure on Donald Morgan was tremendous.
But even under that pressure, Donald Morgan mustered his courage and said,
¡°I must take Anthony with me!¡±
¡°Give me a reason!¡±
¡°That¡¯s Anthony¡¯s own wish!¡±
Donald Morgan gave a reason that Dean couldn¡¯t refuse.
Dean was 90% sure that it was true, but he still subconsciously raised his eyebrows, ¡°What¡¯s the proof?¡±
Donald Morgan was at a loss for words; he really couldn¡¯te up with any proof in a short period of time.
Then a voice sounded.
¡°I can testify!¡±
¡°Who is this numbskull¡¡± Dean instinctively retorted, but then he realized something was off. This was the Land of Bone. Who else could interrupt here?
The voice seemed to being from Anthony¡¯s direction too.
Dean raised an eyebrow. Did Anthony wake up?
Oh no wait, this is a woman¡¯s voice and it sounds familiar.
Mrs. Hawkins?!
Dean abruptly turned his head, and his gaze fell on Anthony.
Then, Dean saw a shining ck crystal on Anthony¡¯s chest. The voice wasing from that crystal.
¡°Mrs. Hawkins?¡±
¡°Yes, it¡¯s me! Boy, didn¡¯t expect you to be this strong in just over half a year?
If I hadn¡¯t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn¡¯t believe it!
You¡¯ve outdone yourself, young man!¡±
Dean raised his eyebrow. That¡¯s definitely her style.
But what did she just mean?
¡°Mrs. Hawkins, what did you just say¡¡±
¡°Yes, I can testify that Anthony promised to leave with this boy a long time ago.¡±
The speaker paused for a moment, then turned to Donald Morgan and said, ¡°He told me to tell you that he agreed to meet him. He knows what to do and asked you to hurry up. He¡¯ll being soon!¡±
The way Mrs. Hawkins spoke confounded Dean. He felt as if he didn¡¯t understand anything she said, even though he did listen to her.
Donald Morgan, on the other hand, not only understood her words, but also nodded vigorously, ¡°Alright, as soon as I leave this ce, I¡¯ll immediately take Anthony back!¡±
As he spoke, Donald Morgan¡¯s gaze fell on Dean.
He understood Mrs. Hawkins¡¯s words, but it also needed to beprehensible to Dean. If Dean didn¡¯t understand and still insisted on keeping Anthony, he had no way to leave.
Just as Donald Morgan was looking at Dean, Mrs. Hawkins¡¯s voice sounded again from the ck crystal.
¡°Boy, I know you¡¯re confused, but don¡¯t be. The situation is prettyplicated right now, and I can¡¯t exin it to you in just a few words. I¡¯ll exin it to you in detailter..
Chapter 368: 210 Rescue operation concludes, instance opens_2
¡°Also, after you release them, it¡¯s best for you toy low. The Alliance is more formidable than you think. Leave their territory and return to the South Barbarians as soon as you can. Stay away for at least a year or so before youe back!¡±
¡°Wait, is it really that urgent?¡±
Dean¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly. Although he was 50 to 60% sure that the person behind Anthony¡¯s crystal was Mrs. Hawkins, he felt utterly confused by the current situation. Dean thought it was best to rify things first.
However, what happened next was beyond Dean¡¯s expectations. The ck crystal shed.
And the next second, Anthony and Donald Morgan in front of Dean disappear simultaneously.
Seeing this, Dean¡¯s eyebrows raised once again.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
How did they bypass him and transport people out of the Land of Bone?
Then, the ck crystal lit up again, and a mocking voice sounded, ¡°Don¡¯t overreact. After all, you obtained this portable secret realm from me.¡±
No wonder she sounded sour.
She couldn¡¯t believe that the low-level realm in her hands had advanced to this level in less than a year in the hands of someone else.
Meanwhile, Dean¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knotted.
Looking at the ck crystal, his eyes glowed with danger. After all, the Land of Bone was one of his most important trump cards.
It was Dean¡¯s main base.
And someone could casuallye and go in his base and even transport a few people away ¨C how could Dean¡¯s eyes not be filled with danger?
Then, Mrs. Hawkins¡¯s voice rang out again, ¡°When this realm was given to you, a backdoor was left. Now, I¡¯m giving you the backdoor, and this realm ispletely yours!¡±
As Mrs. Hawkins finished speaking, the ck crystal in front of Dean¡¯s eyes shattered with a ¡®snap¡¯.
At the same time, something fell after the ck crystal broke.
It was a crystal skull.
As this item appeared, Dean¡¯s system prompt refreshed.
[You have obtained one of the original permissions of the portable realm [Land of Bones]!]
[You have sessfully supplemented the original permissions of [Land of Bone]. Your secret realm [Land of Bone] has beplete!]
As the system alert refreshed, a familiar Bone Throne appeared in front of Dean.
Isn¡¯t this Old Two¡¯s item?
The Bone Throne swallowed, directly absorbing the crystal skull.
The system alert refreshed once again.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two)¡¯s primary equipment [Bone Throne] absorbs the origin power of Land of Bone, initializing equipment upgrade with an estimated upgrade time of 120 days.
PS: Equipment upgrade can be elerated by killing monsters to absorb their bones and secret realm crystals!]
Dean didn¡¯t pay much attention to these system alerts that floated by in front of his eyes.
His attention was mostly on Anthony, who had just been whisked away.
Dean had several lurking doubts now.
When did Anthony and Mrs. Hawkins get in touch?
ording to Doggy Two and Donald Morgan, when they rescued Anthony, he was already unconscious. How did he know that Dean was the one who saved him?
And how did he leave a backdoor?
Also, why was Anthony so eager to leave?
¡°Also, he seemed to have been aware of my presence in the South Barbarian region all along?¡±
This all happened very suddenly.
Before Dean could respond, Anthony was whisked away.
¡°Why do I feel like they¡¯re avoiding me, like they don¡¯t want me to join their game?¡±
Judging by their reaction, they didn¡¯t seem to want Dean involved at all.
¡°That does sound like Anthony¡¯s style.
Forget it, as long as they¡¯re safe, that¡¯s all that matters for now.
I¡¯d better heed the advice and get out of dodge!¡±
With that, Dean pulled out the [Goblin Uprising 6].
Capitalizing on his current peak power, Dean nned to use the [Goblin Uprising 6] to dodge the iing danger, and counted the benefits he reaped from this round of events while he stayed in the instance.
[You have used the instance scroll [Goblin Uprising 6]!]
With the use of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Secret Realm Scroll, he disappeared on the spot in a familiar bout of weightlessness.
The Land of Bone, belonging to Dean McKenzie, disappeared along with him.
Meanwhile, in the instance world.
Feeling familiar sensations, Dean McKenzie opened his eyes.
A strange carriage ceiling!
Surveying his surroundings, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention was immediately drawn to the two stunning beauties nearby, their bodies as magnificent as towering mountains and raging waves.
And the awakening Dean McKenzie likewise captured the attention of the two beauties.
¡°You are awake, sir!¡±
A fragrant breeze brushed past his nose as the two beauties leaned over, greeting Dean McKenzie with warmth.
¡°Are you tired, sir? I can massage you!¡±
¡°Are you hungry, sir? I¡¯ll have a meal brought to you right away!¡±
Before Dean McKenzie could respond, two soft hands began massaging him.
It turned out that these two beauties were professional masseuses. Despite Dean McKenzie¡¯s tough physique, they made his muscles rx.
Moreover, in no time, the windows of the carriage echoed with the careful knocks.
Shortly after, a fragrant meal with fine wine was ced in front of Dean McKenzie.
The two beauties who were massaging Dean McKenzie began to serve him food and drinks.
At this point, for a moment, Dean McKenzie felt like he was in paradise.
This has to be paradise, right?
This was his first time being treated like this upon entering an instance.
However, thinking about it, after struggling through so many instances and fighting in so many instances, didn¡¯t he deserve a little rxation?
Feelingpletely justified, Dean McKenzie happily epted it all.
He even thought about requesting a few more beauties.
While enjoying all this, Dean McKenzie was also reviewing the instance plot and the system prompts that appeared in front of his eyes after entering this instance.
[You have entered the ¡°Goblin Uprising Instance¡± again. The ¡°Secret Realm Plunder Scroll¡± you used is effective. The difficulty of clearing this Secret Realm has been raised a level, and you have toplete a challenge task each time!]
[Current selectable tasks:
1, Glory of the Holy Light (As someone who has already left darkness and embraced the light, you need to spread the glory of the Holy Light and increase the Church of Holy Light¡¯s followers by at least 100,000.)
2, Fallen Light (If joining the Church of Holy Light was not for the sake of falling from grace, then it has no meaning. y at least one archbishop-level figure in the Church of Holy Light andplete your fall from grace!)
3, Goblin Storyline (Enable the rise of the Goblin race as much as possible.)
4, The Coagted Heart (Acquire at least two crystal heart fragments)]
[You have sessfully entered the instance. Your deputy upation ¡°Secret Realm Explorer¡± has been activated. You have received exploration points. Your current exploration points are: 0.]
[Instance plot introduction:

In order to win you over, Kyle Hiller has tried his best to fulfill the promises he made to you.
While you enjoy the benefits, you also must pay the corresponding price.
Consequently, you revealed the location of the Crystal Heart.
ording to your information, the Crystal Heart is hidden deep in the Golden in, and only you know the method to open it and obtain the Golden Heart.
The carriage you are currently in is on its way to the Golden in.]
[There is no time limit for your instance journey this time. The outer time ratio for this instance is 30 to 1. But you need toplete a challenge task to unlock the rewards calction permission!]
Looking at all those dense system prompts in front of him, Dean McKenzie had a pretty good understanding of his current situation.
As Dean McKenzie was finishing his review of the system introduction, the two beauties serving him suddenly paused. One of them respectfully brought out a box and handed it to Dean McKenzie.
¡°Sir, this is something Archbishop Kyle Hiller sent for you!¡±
¡°Oh!¡±
With a raised eyebrow, Dean McKenzie casually opened the box. The moment he saw what was inside, his lips curled into a grin: ¡°That¡¯s a pretty good start, isn¡¯t it?¡±
At least, it was his most favorite start so far..
Chapter 369: 211 Talent Level Up
Chapter 369: 211 Talent Level Up
In the Goblin Uprising Instance, Dean McKenzie opened a chest, which revealed three items in front of him.
These were 5000 purple gold coins, a ring, and a temte.
Temte: Wraith Scourge Recorder
Level: Extraordinary
Usage Requirement: Wraith Mage,
Description: By using it, you have a chance to acquire the extraordinary temte of the [Wraith Scourge Recorder],
Equipment: Ring of the Dead
Level: level 140
Quality: tinum
Effect 1: Increase base spirit and magic power by two hundred percent
Effect 2: Contains the skill [Revival of the Dead] (six-turn) (level 14)
Effect 3: [Power of the Dead] passively increases Wraith skill level by 1 (up to level 15), when activated can add five-levels to a specified skill (up to level 20)
Clearly, these items in Dean McKenzie¡¯s hands were the ones that Kyle promised him earlier.
Dean didn¡¯t expect that his opponent would be so straightforward.
As soon as Dean entered the instance, his items were delivered to him.
Dean looked at the items, they were all fine, but felt a bit wasted.
¡°It¡¯s a bit of a pity, this temte came toote!¡±
Dean s current temte was already extraordinary, so having this extraordinary temte seemed a bit wasteful.
However, no one dislikes free things.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the gold coins and equipment, and Dean¡¯s eyes returned to the Land of Bone.
At this moment, under Dean¡¯s gaze, the Land of Bone was bustling with activity.
To be precise, it was Old Six who was bustling about.
The construction project in its hands was in the final stage, and Dean¡¯s gaze seemed to inject energy into it. This guy¡¯s work efficiency soared, and he was doing a pretty good job.
¡°This guy, he¡¯s quite an eyecatcher!¡±
Dean shook his head as he watched Old Six hammering away, even hitting its own head with the hammer.
Of course, although Old Six was an eyecatcher, his work efficiency was quite good.
Under Dean¡¯s gaze, he finished his work in less than 10 minutes, and the system prompt was refreshed ordingly.
[Your wraith servant (Doggy Six) haspleted the construction of [Bone Treasure Tomb]!]
With the refresh of this system prompt, the giant bone structure in Dean¡¯s eyes shed, absorbing all the things that were originally piled around it.
Meanwhile, a progress bar indicating [Sorting] on the building was moving swiftly.
In less than half an hour, the progress bar was fullypleted.
Upon seeing this, Dean immediately opened the attribute board of this building.
Name: Bone Treasure Tomb
Building Level: Intermediate 3-star
Building Function:
1, Storage Categorization (Has a vast storage space, can store treasures, and can categorize the stored items)
2, Treasure Upgrade (Can slowly upgrade the level and quality of stored treasures, up to level 140, highest quality gold)
The building attributes were quite simple.
But that didn¡¯t mean the building was not useful.
Dean immediately experienced the effect of this building.
[The building has sorted and stored the items, would you like to check?]
¡°Yes!¡±
With a nod from Dean, a long list appeared before his eyes.
Current storage of purple gold coins: 43,320
Current storage of gold coins: 157,943.21 million
Current storage of equipment: 3,222 pieces
Current storage of items: 466 items
Current storage of potions: 86,666 pieces
Current storage of special materials: 563 pieces
Skill Books: 3,555 pieces
By just seeing the lengthy list, Dean knew that it would be an impossible task to go through it all, he didn¡¯t have that kind of lifespan, so he made a new request: ¡°Block all items below level 140, with gold quality and below.
Block all skill books that are six-turn and below!
Block all useless special items and props!¡±
With each of Dean¡¯smands, the list in front of his eyes became cleaner.
Soon, Dean was left with a list of just over a dozen items.
Although the list was shorter, each item left excited Dean.
Eternal Potion Set (contains 3 small Four-Dimensional (60 points each), 3 medium (300 points), 3rge (6000 points), 3 superrge (30,000 points)) Excellent Talent Stone (33)
Intermediate Secret Realm Crystal (130)
Secret Realm Modification Scroll (3)
Medium Secret Realm Resource Point (1)
Small Secret Realm Resource Point (3)
Four seven-turn skills [Wraith Control] [Absolute Defense] [Unyielding Will] [Defense Aura]
Four seven-turn gold quality equipment [Shield of Unyielding] [Despair Armor Set] [Arrow of Despair] [Deadly Poison Dagger]
Looking at the list in front of him, Dean couldn¡¯t help but gasp.
This gain was far beyond Dean¡¯s imagination.
Previously, Dean went on that mission just to save Anthony, but he didn¡¯t expect such a huge gain. Without hesitation, he allocated the items.
There¡¯s no need to talk about the four pieces of seven-turn gold equipment.
The shield was for Old Four, the Despair Armor Set for Old Seven, the Arrow of
Despair for Old Nine, and the Deadly Poison Dagger for Old Eight.
When they wore the new equipment, the strength of Old Four and others didn¡¯t just change from a musket to a cannon, but was also considerably boosted.
Next, Dean allocated the four seven-turn skills. He couldn¡¯t use the Wraith Control for now, so he gave the remaining three seven-turn skills to Old Four.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) has sessfully used the Skill Books [Absolute Defense] [UnyieldingWill] [Defense Aura]!]

The three Seven-turn skills that got hammered onto Old Four didn¡¯t transform
its strength. It just made Old Four a little tougher.
In addition, these skills provide Dean McKenzie with a fertile ground to enhance Old Four.
If he enhances these skillster on, Old Four¡¯s strength will undoubtedly experience an epic level increase.
Although Old Four doesn¡¯t usually attack, it¡¯s as unnoticeable as a backdrop when it stands behind Dean McKenzie.
But that doesn¡¯t mean Old Four is insignificant. It is practically the most important ¡®pup¡¯ for Dean McKenzie since it guards the defensive line of his life. After distributing the equipment and skill books, Dean McKenzie nced at the Eternal Potion set and made a rough calction. This set could probably increase his total attributes by 450 thousand to 500 thousand points.
This amount of attributes, for Dean McKenzie who currently has tens of millions of attribute points, is barely noticeable.
-It would be a waste to use this now. It would be worth it if I used it when I was
at level 1.¡±
Dean McKenzie isn¡¯t short of these small increases, so he didn¡¯t use this suit, in contrast, he used the three small resource points and one medium resource point.
[You have used 4 resource points on your Portable Mysterious Realm ¡®Land of
Bone¡¯!]
[You have obtained a small resource point[Water Sprite Orchard]!]
[You have obtained a small resource point[me Lava]!]
[You have obtained a small resource point[Fragrant Pig Tree]!]
[You have obtained a medium resource point[Spring of Despair]!]
Dean Mckenzie quickly looked at these resource points. Among the three small ones, one is a potion ingredient resource point, and the other is a resource point for forging equipment.
Thest one is rather unique ¨C a tree that can grow pigs.
With this tree, you can have pork every day.
Pork can grow on trees?
Dean Mckenzie hadn¡¯t seen it before. He tried it and found that it indeed tasted like pork, with an exceptional texture and rich nutrition. Dean Mckenzie ate one and felt warm inside.
Considering its effectiveness on his near ten-million physique, this fragrant pig is remarkable.
Thest one, [Spring of Despair], Dean McKenzie checked it out and found it to be a spring of poisonous water, capable of producing 5000 millilitres of Despair Water every day.
Item: Despair Water (Junior)
Quality: Gold
Level: 140 (Affected by the Secret Realm level, can go up to level 160 at maximum)
Effect: Enhances the damage received by the enemy by 800% and inflicts a hundredfold of pain onto the enemy.
Ps: Ignores senior-level traits, disregards any defensive traits below the Legendary ss
This item is quite good, at least Old Eight likes it very much.
Old Nine also really likes it.
One wants to smear it on his dagger, and the other is preparing to equip all his archers with it.
After checking the resource points, Dean McKenzie looked at the remaining items.
130 Intermediate Secret Realm Crystals, 3 Secret Realm Modification Scrolls These were all good things, brought out from the treasure vault of Cyril Kaye in Heavenly Abyss by Doggy Two.
They were useful for Dean McKenzie, just not at the moment.
¡°The current construction of the City of Bone has exposed some problems in the Land of Bone, but it¡¯s not quite time for a major overhaul yet. Let¡¯s record these issues for now and carry out the reform when the secret realm level increases!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, his gazending on thest object that excited him the most ¨C the Excellent Talent Stone.
Dean McKenzie was just short of two Excellent Talent Stones to upgrade his talent. He never thought that he would be able to obtain them, let alone thirty-three at once.
¡°I wonder if these thirty-three talent stones are enough to upgrade my talent to level 7!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, there and then starting to consume the Excellent Talent Stone.
¡°[YOU have consumed 3 Excellent Talent Stones, your talent level has been upgraded to level 6!]¡±
After the system prompt refreshed, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t wait to open his attribute panel, where he saw an attribute like this.
Talent: Extraction
Level: 6 (0/500 million) (Excellent Talent Stone: 31/30)
Mana consumption: 500,000
Effect: Able to extract attributes from a monster that has been dead for no more than 3600 minutes.
Seeing this attribute, Dean McKenzie was both shocked and ecstatic. ¡°Enough, I have enough Talent Stones to level up again!¡± Next, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze first fell on his max-level skills and upgrades.
When he realized that the upgrades were still dim, he did not feel disappointed. Instead, he turned his focus on experimenting with the effect of the Level 6 Talent.
This experiment left Dean McKenzie somewhat startled.
With one extraction from the Seven-turn Skeleton, Dean McKenzie could extract as many as 15,000 attribute points.
And the extraordinary temte, it could provide as high as 9600 attribute points every 10 levels.
Which means, Dean McKenzie¡¯s talent could allow a 141-level Skeleton to increase by 144,000 attribute points.
However, this is not the most exaggerated part. The most exaggerated part was when Dean McKenzie gifted attributes to Old Nine.
Being the only skeleton with a legendary temte, it gave Dean McKenzie a big surprise.
On Old Nine, the attributes that could be gifted every 10 levels reached as high as 96,000 points.
That is, at level 141, McKenzie could increase Old Nine¡¯s attributes by more than 1 million points.
This attribute, even among the seven-turns, is quite astonishing.
And this is only a level 6 Talent. What if the Talent is upgraded to level 7?
What if the temte is upgraded to a legendary level?
Dean McKenzie was getting a little impatient already.
He started furiously farming Talent proficiency.
Although the Talent proficiency currently needed to reach level 7 was as high as 500 million, Dean McKenzie could acquire 15,000 attribute points from a single extraction.
500 million would require just over thirty thousand skeletons.
Dean McKenzie could farm one to two thousand a day, so thirty thousand would take no more than a month. By then, Dean McKenzie could raise his Talent to level 7!
Moreover, this was only if Dean McKenzie was working alone. If he had help, he would be able to progress even faster.
Dean McKenzie had a strong feeling that when his Talent increases to level 7, his strength would undergo an epic level enhancement.
That being said, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t feel like taking it easy. Enjoyment? That¡¯s a luxury reserved for those who cannot progress any further. Dean McKenzie could still continue progressing, so there was no time for rxation.
In the following time, Dean McKenzie gave up his leisure and devoted all his energy to cultivating his Talent proficiency.
Kyle, on the other hand, was very considerate. His fulfillment rate of Dean McKenzie¡¯s demands was 100%.
When Dean McKenzie wanted to enjoy himself, Kyle provided him with enjoyment.
He served Dean McKenzie with all kinds of beautiful women and delicious food. When Dean McKenzie stopped enjoying himself and wanted to work hard, Kyle didn¡¯t disturb him either, even setting up a silence barrier around the carriage and ensuring a smooth ride to provide Dean McKenzie with the mostfortable secluded environment.
And so, Dean McKenzie secluded himself for over twenty days, increasing his Talent proficiency from zero to 380 million.
He was close to reaching 500 million, when the carriage stopped. Kyle came to Dean McKenzie¡¯s carriage for the first time.
Dean McKenzie knew that they had arrived at the Golden in!
Finally, he came out of the carriage.
This time, the entrance they took into the Golden in was not the path they had taken before with the goblins.
The previous path was a winding trail, which the goblins now upied. The Church of Holy Light took a more direct highway.
They advanced imposingly, and without hesitation.
Regardless of whether the Golden in weed them or not, they barged straight into the most sensitive area at the heart of the Golden in, just like an ignorant and reckless brute. Naturally, such actions provoked the most intense resistance from the Golden in¡.
Chapter 371: 212 Let the Goblin Believe in the Holy Light
Chapter 371: 212 Let the Goblin Believe in the Holy Light
Goblin Uprising Instance, Golden in!
The Church of Holy Light ces great emphasis on the crystal heart.
Meanwhile, this also marks a turning point for Kyle Hiller.
Therefore, in order to secure that heart, Kyle Hiller and the forces behind him have spared no measure.
The team that Dean McKenzie¡¯s is in alone, has 1300 people.
Among them, 800 are the Seventh-order Holy Light Knights.
In terms of scale and level, they¡¯reparable to Cyril Kaye¡¯s team.
In addition, there are 300 Holy Light Priests and about 4.00 people in the logistics team.
The entire team is so grand, it appears formidable on this journey, as if banishing evil forces with ease!
Of course, mainly because no one could obstruct them in the territory of the Church of Holy Light, until they reached the Golden in.
Their team has been hit hard upon their arrival.
The existence of the Golden in sternly condemns this uninvited intruder.
At this moment, in front of their eyes, arge monster army is blocking the path of their team.
¡°Teacher, what should we do?
Do we fight them?¡±
Confronted with this situation, the most anxious is Kyle, as the matter at hand is significantly rted to his rise.
Kyle Hiller¡¯s tutor, Yannis of Holy Light was solemn but even more pleasantly surprised when seeing the grand monster army.
¡°This is a good thing for us. Encountering such strong resistance indicates that he might not have deceived me. The heart fragment of that sphemous creature might be in this in.¡±
¡°This indeed is a good thing, but the problem is, we are blocked by the monsters, what to do? Force our way through?¡±
This clearly wasn¡¯t a good choice.
¡°At present, the number of visible monsters is nearly ten thousand, with many powerful entities of the Seven-turn level. It will be difficult to force through!
Find the necromancer, see if there¡¯s a way to bypass these monsters.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Kyle nods his head.
Soon after, Dean McKenzie was respectfully invited over by Kyle Hiller.
At the same time, Mr. McKenzie, who had been in the instance for half a month, finally saw the main characters of the plot, Kyle Hiller, and Yannis.
More precisely, Dean McKenzie focused more on Yannis.
Immediately, Dean recognized that the temte of Yannis right before his eyes was of legendary quality.
He was enveloped in a dense and restrained Holy Light.
The important point is.
ording to Dean McKenzie¡¯s understanding, this guy appears to be a great Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light, a prime mission target.
However, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t n toplete this mission yet, so his gaze was curiously restrained.
Mr. McKenzie also gave an active answer to their question.
¡°To bypass these monsters?
I do know another way!¡±
Without hesitation, Dean brought up the path of the goblins on the spot.
He also shared his own advice.
¡°There is a small force guarding that route. For us, that force is not all too strong. But if we move the main force there¡¡±
Dean stopped at this point.
Some things are better left unsaid.
In fact, it was true. Once Dean stopped talking, they all understood his meaning.
Even though Dean knew of another route, if they moved the main force there, the current problem would not have been solved.
The monsters would also shift to the other side to block them.
They would still have to face those monsters, maybe even deal with an additional force!
Yannis made a quick decision.
¡°Let¡¯s do it this way, I¡¯ll oversee here, distract these monsters. Kyle, you lead a Holy Light Knight Squad and Mr. McKenzie, and go around from where he mentioned.
You guys are responsible for looking for the Crystal Heart!¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
With Yannis¡¯s decision made, the forces under hismand started to move swiftly.
Kyle immediately led a squadron of 50 Holy Light Knights along with Mr. McKenzie, leaving the main group to head towards the other entrance
Before leaving, Dean saw Yannis talking privately to Kyle, as if he handed something over to Kyle, and he took a nce at Dean.
Obviously, they purposely let Dean see it, openly stating that they have an alternative, advising him not to cause trouble.
Dean doesn¡¯t mind it.
After all, he still has several tasks toplete.
At least beforepleting ¡°Glory of the Holy Light¡±, Dean does not n on doing any trickeries.
Soon after, Dean and his party left the main group to officially go towards the goblin entrance.
This time, Dean did not sit in a carriage but led Kyle and his team over with the Flight Skill.
The journey was swift, and within a few days, they reached the Golden in entrance guarded by the swift goblins.
Upon reaching, they found that the entrance was tightly controlled!
This is normal, after all, behind them is the goblins¡¯ir. Strong Grass and their guardians would definitely be on high alert in case dustup from the Golden in spreads here.
However, protecting the Golden in from the goblins, they didn¡¯t think that humans would directlye here from theirir.
Faced with the goblin checkpoint, Kyle gave the unhesitantmand: ¡°Just a bunch of goblins, break through directly!¡±
Chapter 372: 212 Let the Goblin Believe in the Holy Light_2
Chapter 372: 212 Let the Goblin Believe in the Holy Light_2
After all, with 50 seven-turn Holy Knights at his disposal, he felt confident enough to charge forth, only to be stopped by Dean McKenzie.
¡°There¡¯s really no need for a forceful approach. I can attempt to negotiate with them. To be honest, I am somewhat acquainted with these goblins!¡±
As for Dean¡¯s suggestion, Kyle responded.
¡°Mr. McKenzie, there¡¯s no great need for you to do so. They are but a mere group of goblins. We came here to pass their checkpoint and we will do so, do we still need to negotiate with them? Is that really necessary?¡±
¡°What status do they have to negotiate with us?¡±
¡°You mustn¡¯t underestimate them. These goblins lead a substantial alliance on the Golden in.¡±
Conservatively speaking, there are more than a dozen races in this entire alliance, with tens or even hundreds of thousands of people.¡±
¡°We may ovee this checkpoint, but if they cause us trouble afterwards, it would be bad for us.¡±
¡°Also, our negotiations with them aren¡¯t as simple as just about this pathway!¡±
¡°Apart from this pathway, what else can we negotiate with them?¡±
¡°Ask them to help us?¡±
Dean squinted: ¡°Let them believe in the Holy Light!¡±
¡°What? What did you say?¡±
¡°Mr. Kyle, have you ever thought, even if you find the crystal heart, can you really seed?¡±
¡°You must remember, the first person to achieve something is honored as a warrior, but the second is just seen as a follower.
¡°Although the crystal heart is extremely important, even if you¡¯re the second to attain it, you can still make a considerable contribution. However, wouldn¡¯t your contribution be ranked behind the person who aplished this feat before you?¡±
¡°At that time, you will, at most, serve as a stand-in saint for a few years or possibly just a few days, before possibly having to return to your original form.¡±
¡°You¡¯ve put in so much effort and made such a great sacrifice, surely you don¡¯t want to be a stand-in saint for just a couple of days?¡±
With that, Dean silenced Kylepletely.
He had to admit, Dean had struck a chord with him.
On seeing this, Dean continued to push his argument.
¡°What if your contribution is more than just a heart?¡±
¡°These goblins that you see here are controlling an alliance of over a dozen races. If you can conquer them, you¡¯dmand millions of new followers!¡± ¡°But they¡¯re goblins! Foreigners!¡±
¡°Exactly, they are foreigners. If they were of the human race, no offense, do you think you¡¯d have the chance to convert a million human followers?¡±
At that point, Kyle had no response.
Although unwilling to admit it, Dean¡¯s argument made a lot of sense.
¡°So what if they¡¯re foreigners? The Holy Light isn¡¯t exclusive to the human race. It would be a betrayal to the Holy Light if we imed it for ourselves and refused to share it.
¡°The Holy Light is magnificent and benevolent. Its essence belongs to every living being in the world. Wouldn¡¯t converting foreigners to the worship of the Holy Light be a monumental contribution?¡±
¡°Also, once you have them under control, you can use the alliance to hold back the monsters on the Golden in, thus freeing up Archbishop Yannis to focus on the crystal heart.¡±
¡°The goblins could then swiftly take over the Golden ins.¡±
¡°As long as there is ample space and time, the current one million followers could turn into ten or even hundreds of millions, and your voice within the Church will be iparably strong.¡±
¡°Who knows, you might even create a new sect within the Church of Holy Light?¡±
¡°Mr. Kyle, how often does one get such a chance in a lifetime?¡±
¡°Most people never get a chance!¡±
¡°If you give up this opportunity today, you¡¯ll be nothing more than a saint, amon pope.¡±
¡°Your name will be insignificant in the history of the Church of Holy Light, and after a hundred years, no one will remember you.¡±
But if you seize this opportunity.
Creating a great feat, not to mention a hundred years, even a thousand or ten thousand years they would remember you, even the Lord of Holy Light might cast praising eyes on you.
Don¡¯t you really want to gain the approval of the Lord of Holy Light, be a shining star in the long history of the Church of Holy Light, or even go one step further to be an eternal epic of your own?¡±
I have to say, Dean McKenzie¡¯s words were extremely tempting and provocative.
Kyle waspletely stunned, he always thought his vision was broad, but never expected that Dean McKenzie¡¯s vision was even broader. Comparing with Dean McKenzie, Kyle felt like he was a maggot in a shit pit, only able to see a little bit of stinky stuff in front of him and yet thought it smelled great.
Now, through Dean McKenzie, he knew what kind of vision and dreams a man, a follower of Holy Light should have.
To put it more bluntly, he waspletely taken in by Dean McKenzie.
His eyes turned red, panting heavily, indicating that he, Kyle, had decided to invest in this project.
However, when Kyle decided to invest in this project, his excitement gradually subsided, and Kyle¡¯s gaze slowly returned to reality.
He had to admit, Dean McKenzie¡¯s words were very enticing, but there are too many difficulties to achieve it.
That¡¯s a million-man alliance, what can he use to persuade them, to make them believe in Holy Light?
¡°Kyle, you don¡¯t have to worry about this, I can be the persuader!
I know some problems of their alliance.
I have aplete set of strategies targeting their problems, I can try to help you solve their problems. Give me ten days at most, and I will give you a million believers!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s words were so forceful, his chest thundered with conviction.
Kyle also faith in Dean McKenzie¡¯s promises, and he agreed with gritted his teeth, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll leave this matter to you!¡±
In response to this, Dean McKenzie showed a smile but remained silent.
Kyle was startled by this, having some dy in reaction at the beginning. Dean McKenzie also realized that a little hint would definitely not be enough.
¡°Mr. Kyle, I have a tricky issue now.
Although I have a rtionship with the goblins, knowing their problems, and I have aplete set of strategies, but my strength is too low, only at six-turn, and my temtes are too low, although I have an Extraordinary Temte, but I can¡¯t use it because I have already advanced!
Another thing, I have a Necromancy Spell that requires high quality corpses as a medium, what do you think of this¡¡±
Once Dean McKenzie said this, it wasn¡¯t a hint anymore, it was a in message.
At least Kyle understood, Dean McKenzie¡¯s words implied only one thing.
Money!
Kyle immediately offered a nk check: ¡°Rest assured, Mr. McKenzie, as long as you help me solve their problems, I will give you a big surprise!¡±
But Dean McKenzie was clearly not satisfied with this nk check, he wanted tangible returns: ¡°Er, Mr. Kyle, what do you mean by surprise?¡±
Kyle raised an eyebrow: ¡°Surprise means that as long as you help me do this, I will offer you a seven-turn upgrade tool, a tool to enhance your temte, and the high-quality corpses you want, I can provide all of these!¡±
¡°So, this is what a surprise is!¡±
Dean McKenzie grinned: ¡°Then Mr. Kyle, wait for my surprise!¡±
In this way, the two officially reached an agreement.
After the verbal agreement was made, it was time for Dean McKenzie to show his abilities.
Under Kyle¡¯s indicative gaze, Dean McKenzie started his move.
Dean McKenzie turned and walked toward the goblin¡¯s checkpoint. In front of Kyle¡¯s dumbstruck gaze, he said to the Goblin guarding the Golden in: ¡°Go tell your queen, her leader, the spiritual leader of the Wind Goblin, the developer, the controller of the Power of the Dead, the Lord of the Wraith Army, the master of the Land of Bone, and also the eternal legend of you Goblins ¡ª Dean McKenzie, has returned!
Also tell her, ten days, give her ten days, I want the entire Goblin Tribe and the alliance she currently controls to believe in the Holy Light!¡±
Hearing Dean McKenzie¡¯s words, seeing Dean McKenzie¡¯s actions.
No matter it was Kyle, who was watching Dean McKenzie¡¯s actions, or the Goblins in front of Dean McKenzie, they were all stunned.
They thought, Dean McKenzie must be somewhat crazy!
Chapter 373: 213 Template Promotion
Chapter 373: 213 Temte Promotion
¡°Alright, it¡¯s done, we just have to wait for results in ten days!¡±
Inside the Golden in Passage, where the Goblin Uprising Instance and the Swiftwind Tribe was stationed.
After bellowing, Dean McKenzie retreated before he got killed and said confidently to Kyle.
At this moment, Kyle¡¯s heart was in shambles.
Staring at Dean McKenzie, he asked word by word, ¡°Is this how you convinced them?¡±
From his expression and tone, his extreme dissatisfaction was audible.
But Dean McKenzie still smiled and said, ¡°This is enough!¡±
¡°Mr. McKenzie, this matter is very important to both of us, we can¡¯t¡¡±
¡°In a few days, you will see the result. Surely you can wait for a few days?¡±
Dean McKenzie interrupted Kyle.
Even though Kyle was somewhat flustered, he eventually chose to trust Dean McKenzie.
Having chosen to trust Dean McKenzie, risking everything he had and his future to gamble on the location of the Crystal Heart, he didn¡¯t care about trusting a little bit more. He wanted to see whether, in ten days, Dean McKenzie could bring him a million followers.
But the truth was, Kyle changed his mind in only a few hours, not ten days.
Within hours of Dean McKenzie¡¯s bellow, a goblin approached the entrance of the passage.
What kind of goblin was it?
Firstly, it was tall, almost two meters and thirty, considered a giant among goblins.
Then it was powerful.
Despite her level being only 140, the aura around her was incredibly terrifying.
The moment she arrived, the Holy Knight Order behind Kyle became alert.
The most important point was, her arrival shattered Kyle¡¯s world view.
He saw for himself that the moment this goblin stepped forward, nearly a thousand goblins stationed at the entrance of the passage kneeled down in reverence to her, like they were weing their god, their supreme owner.
And she walked over on the roadid by the goblins, came before Dean McKenzie and dropped to one knee, disying pure reverence.
¡°Chief, you¡¯re finally back!¡±
At that moment, Kyle was rooted to the spot in shock.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Strong Grass and Dean McKenzie.
No matter how much he thought, he couldn¡¯t figure out how Dean McKenzie, a human, could be the leader of such a huge Goblin Tribe.
Kyle sent Dean McKenzie a questioning, puzzled look, and Dean McKenzie shrugged, ¡°I was adopted by a Goblin Tribe when I was young, but the tribe I was in was quite small, only having hundreds of people.
I left for a while and when I came back, my original tribe had already be like this!
I thought they wouldn¡¯t recognize me¡¡±
¡°Chief, no matter when, no matter what you or the Tribe bes, you¡¯re always our chief!¡±
Strong Grass cut Dean McKenzie off with a firm tone.
Dean McKenzie smirked, ¡°Well, in that case, you should have an idea of my purpose for this visit, right?
Let¡¯s get to work!¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Strong Grass saluted, then got up and left.
Watching the retreating figure of Strong Grass, after a moment of bewilderment, Kyle turned to look at Dean McKenzie,
¡°How long has it been since youst returned to this tribe?¡±
¡°Not that long, a few years, perhaps!¡±
¡°When you left this tribe¡¡±
¡°There were only two to three thousand people!¡±
¡°So you¡¯re saying that in just a few years, during your absence, the power of this tribe explosively increased by several hundredfold.¡±
¡°Under these circumstances, do you think you can stillmand her? Will she really be willing to help you?¡±
Dean McKenzie nodded, ¡°She will!¡±
Kyle raised an eyebrow, ¡°You¡¯re that certain?¡±
¡°Yes, I am! Because she¡¯s smitten with my body!
All over the Swiftwind Tribe are statues of me. Aside from a few that I self-proimed, the rest of the titles I recited just now were ones she gave me. There¡¯s still one I didn¡¯t mention!¡±
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Her husband!¡±
Once Dean McKenzie said those words, Kyle understood. It turns out Dean McKenzie was a kept man.
Yet thinking about the meal Dean McKenzie was eating, and recalling the robust figure of Strong Grass, Kyle suddenly felt that Dean McKenzie¡¯s meal was not soft but a bit hard.
He couldn¡¯t help but want tough a little.
But when he considered that all this was for his sake, Kyle swallowed hisughter back down.
Then, Dean McKenzie and Kyle waited for the news from Strong Grass¡¯s side with ease.
Well, they weren¡¯t exactly at ease.
Dean McKenzie had his old buddy sent over to her. He gave the item that he earned from killing a goblin BOSS for Strong Grass, and left his old buddy to help her with some difficulties in task progression.
But although Strong Grass kept the old buddy, she almost never used him.
The reason why the Swiftwind Tribe could develop from its initial state to its current status wasn¡¯t because of force, but a certain kind of united wisdom.
To achieve the tasks given by Dean McKenzie to Strong Grass, force couldn¡¯t be used.
Force couldn¡¯t win over the whole Alliance, unless Dean McKenzie could kill the whole Alliance.
Dean McKenzie could do it, but if that happened, there wouldn¡¯t be much left for Dean McKenzie to gain.
So, the measures Strong Grass took were driven by benefits.
If they could gain significant benefits by joining the Alliance and believing in the holy light, they surely would have no problem with it!
Chapter 374: 213 Template Promotion_2
Chapter 374: 213 Temte Promotion_2
Having strategized and negotiated for a few days, making another few bites at Kyle, or rather, at the Church of Holy Light behind Kyle, Strong Grass took control of the Golden in and its various materials.
In less than eight days, the entirety of the Alliance was flying the g of the Church of Holy Light.
Churches of Holy Light with various styles began to sprout up everywhere.
Kyle was left stunned by the efficiency of these progresses.
At that moment, Kyle suddenly discovered that the meal Dean McKenzie had cooked wasn¡¯t as tough to swallow as he had envisioned.
It actually seemed to be quite tender.
At least it was appetizing for real. How long has it been, and such an impossible task, from Kyle¡¯s perspective, was done with ease.
This string of sessful events left both Kyle and even McKenzie himself taken aback by surprise.
McKenzie merely proposed an idea and threw it irresponsibly at Strong Grass, and that was how everything came to fruition!
Dazzled by Strong Grass¡¯spetence, McKenzie turned again to look at Doggy Two and his crew.
Compared to Strong Grass¡¯s Hell Mode mission, saving Anthony was practically child¡¯s y.
But even that child¡¯s y of a task came to nothing at hands of Doggy Two and his crew.
Of course, it couldn¡¯t entirely be the fault of Doggy Two and his team.
After all, the experience they have had was different. Doggy Two and the rest of the team were raised by McKenzie, like domesticated dogs, with simple life experiences and ignorance of the outside world.
On the other hand, Strong Grass had been brought up in the wild.
The environmental challenges she had faced made it iparable to Doggy Two and his team, and she might very well have a different aptitude for such things.
All in all, he was satisfied with Strong Grass¡¯s performance.
McKenzie even entertained the idea of keeping Strong Grass.
After all, he was in dire need of talents like Strong Grass!
With Strong Grass aplishing this task, McKenzie¡¯s system alert updated once again.
[Your mission [Glory of Holy Light] has progressed, you currently have 1.12 million extended believers. Immediate reward settlement can yield an SSS-level rating!]
Another SSS-level rating at his disposal.
Adding to the one from thest instance, this was the second reward rating of at least SS-level that McKenzie earned from Strong Grass.
With this rating in hand, in fact, McKenzie could afford to turn against the Church of Holy Light now.
But McKenzie decided to hold it back because Kyle¡¯s promised reward had yet to arrive.
Moreover, there was no point in turning against them now.
McKenzie wouldn¡¯t be able toplete the [Fall of the Holy Light] mission even if he could take Kyle down.
Therefore, Mckenzie decided to hold back his move and leverage the power of the Church to rid Golden in first.
McKenzie hadn¡¯t forgotten about the incident when he had barely managed to leave Golden in alive.
The ount was still etched deep in his little ck book.
Also, ridding of Golden in could offer Strong Grass and others more room to grow, sort of contributing to thepletion of the [Rise of the Goblins] mission, as it were.
In the meantime, as Strong Grass worked on expanding the Holy Light mission, McKenzie wasn¡¯t idle either.
[Summon Skeleton] and Extraction persisted.
Over ten days, finally McKenzie had gathered 500 million proficiency points.
After amassing 500 million proficiency points, McKenzie used up the 30 Excellent Talent Stones he had.
[You have exhausted 30 Excellent Talent Stones, your talent level promoted to level 7!]
Apanied by the refreshing system prompt, the property of his talent underwent changes.
Talent: Extraction
Level: 7 (0/5 billion) (Rare Talent Stone: 0/30)
Consumes Mana: 1 million
Effect: Able to extract properties from monsters with the death not exceeding 36000 minutes.
The extraction time spanned from 3600 minutes to 36000 minutes.
This means that McKenzie could extract properties from entities dead within 25 days.
This was a huge breakthrough for him. Initially, he wasn¡¯t capable of upgrading advance features over time.
Now, with a whole 25 days at his disposal, McKenzie has plenty of time umte essence and upgrade the advanced feature to a perfect quality.
And, the most important part wasn¡¯t even this.
The crucial point was when the talent upgraded to level 7, the qualities conferred experienced a leap.
McKenzie tested it, and the oue was quick.
Level 6
Ordinary Temte: Level 10, 600 points
Elite Temte: Level 10,1200 points
Excellent Temte: Level 10,1800 points
Rare Temte: Level 10 ¨C 2,4.00 points
Perfect Quality: Level 10 ¨C 4,800 points
Extraordinary Temte: Level 10 ¨C 9,600 points
Legendary Temte: Level 10 ¨C 96,000 points
Seventh Level
Ordinary Temte: Level 10 ¨C 12,000 points
Elite Temte: Level 10 ¨C 24,000 points
Excellent Temte: Level 10 ¨C 36,000 points
Rare Temte: Level 10 ¨C 48,000 points
Perfect Quality: Level 10 ¨C 96,000 points
Extraordinary Temte: Level 10 ¨C 192,000 points
Legendary Temte: Level 10 ¨C 1,920,000 points
The first set of numbers represents the attribute points that a level 6 talent can provide, while the second set represents the attribute points that a level 7 talent can offer.
The value has increased twentyfold in one go!
That is to say, Dean McKenzie can now use his talents to increase the attributes of an Average Skeleton at the seventh-turn by 2.88 million points.
The legendary quality is even more terrifying, directly increasing the attributes by 28.8 million points!
With just one round, the strength of the skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand will be greatly improved in terms of attributes.
However, the most important thing is not just the substitute for attributes.
The key point is this.
As the talent level reaches 7, the word (Sublimation) behind Dean McKenzie¡¯s max level skills has turned from gray to gold, indicating that his skill sublimation can now be activated.
Dean McKenzie first tried it with Bone Fang.
[You¡¯ve activated skill sublimation. To sublimate this skill, you need to pay 1,000 purple gold coins, a Legendary Temte corpse for the seven-turn, and at least 10 million attribute points!]
The sublimation of skills requires meeting certain conditions and cannot be directly sublimated.
However, Dean McKenzie is not surprised by this.
¡°That¡¯s to be expected, just go back and sublimate their skills first!¡± He said, referring to his main force, Doggy Two.
After all, Doggy Two and the others currently make up the majority of Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power. The benefits he would gain from sublimating his own skills would certainly be less than the benefits from sublimating their skills.
Having dealt with the Goblin Alliance, Dean McKenzie was delighted, as was Kyle.
He sent the news to the rear as soon as possible.
Although the promise Dean McKenzie made to him might seem excessive, it¡¯s still a significant achievement to have subdued a million different races.
Especially as these different races could potentially seize control of the Golden in in the future, which could bring huge benefits to the Church of Holy Light.
The Church of Holy Light was not stingy with potential profit.
Kyle followed through with the conditions he promised and had someone personally deliver items to Dean McKenzie¡¯s side.
The items arrived in just five days.
There were three things in total:
- 1. Seven-turn Trials Exemption Token (Can be used to exempt the seven-turn trials and advance directly to the seventh-turn)
- 2. Profession Temte Upgrade Scroll (Can be used on a Profession temte. After using it, the temte can advance by one rank, up to Legendary!)
- 3. Corpse of a Goblin Legendary Figure (Seventh-turn, Legendary)
I must say, the Church of Holy Light is very generous.
This round, Dean McKenzie not only got a treasure chest right away, but the rewards he was supposed to get were also certainly not ambiguous.
The only unfortunate thing was that Dean McKenzie found out that he simply couldn¡¯t use the Seven-turn Trials Exemption Token at all.
After all, his seven-turn trials had been scheduled by the Mark of the Hunting God.
This item could not surpass the God level, so he is definitely going to face the trial.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t pin his hopes on it.
Since he couldn¡¯t use it, Dean McKenzie gave it to Strong Grass.
The remaining two items were of use to Dean McKenzie.
First, he used the [Profession Temte Promotion Scroll],
After getting his hands on it, Dean McKenzie realized that the use of this item differed a bit from what he had anticipated.
[You used the [Profession Temte Promotion Scroll], your Profession Temte has a chance to be promoted, but please meet the following conditions!]
Condition 1: Have a temte of the same level as your current Profession Temte
Condition T. 10,000 Purple gold coins
Condition 3: Kill a boss monster one level higher than your current temte
[ps: If you meet all three conditions, your Profession Temte will be promoted!]
Chapter 375: 214 Inheritance Altar
Chapter 375: 214 Inheritance Altar
After reaping the first slew of benefits in Kael¡¯s n.
Both Dean McKenzie and the Strong Grass Alliance were willing to cooperate.
The next day, the Strong Grass Alliance mobilized an army of tens of thousands, preparing to set off towards the Golden in.
Kael looked at the massive army with a sinking heart.
To his shock, there wasn¡¯t a single seven-turn among the army of tens of thousands.
What¡¯s the use of such an army?
Beyond revealing their forces, Kael couldn¡¯t perceive any positive impact it would have.
So, he politely refused this so-called army, and asked for a guide instead.
Kael initially just wanted a guide familiar with the terrain, but to his surprise, Strong Grass herself volunteered, iming that no one in the Alliance knew the Golden in better than she did.
Considering her leadership over an alliance with millions of members, Kael was rather ttered having Strong Grass as a guide.
However, when he saw her gaze fixated on Dean McKenzie the entire time, Kael figured that her ulterior motive wasn¡¯t exactly to guide him.
A nce between Dean McKenzie and Strong Grass made Kael nearly burst intoughter, despite his disciplined demeanor.
Just the mental image of what could transpire between two-meter-tall Strong Grass and Dean McKenzie, who was barely one meter and eighty, was rather amusing and surreal.
While trying to stifle hisughter, Kael was caught by Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze: ¡°Are you thinking about something inappropriate?¡±
¡°No, absolutely not, ha ha¡ha ha¡¡±
Kael was adamantly denying it while simultaneously failing to contain hisughter.
Dean McKenzie clenched his fists, ready to drag Kael away right then and there.
Registering the murderous intent in Dean¡¯s gaze, Kael quickly closed his mouth.
¡°I won¡¯tugh anymore, I swear I won¡¯tugh anymore!¡±
Only when Dean saw Kael¡¯s sincere promise did he put away his threatening re.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Strong Grass, their team stepped foot onto the Golden in.
It must be acknowledged that while Strong Grass¡¯s interest in being a guide was rooted in Dean McKenzie¡¯s presence, she was nheless qualified for the job.
Ever since they entered the Golden in, she had a clear understanding of every little detail along the way.
She was well versed with the geographical features, knew where different monsters dwelled, and was familiar with all the shortcuts.
It was apparent from her proficiency that she visited the Golden in quite often.
And, indeed, she did.
In recent times, Strong Grass spent most of her time in the Golden ins, in hopes of a chance for advancement.
Her instincts told her that the Golden in hid a means for her to inherit further power, an endeavor she had pursued countless times with no sess.
She was only a six-turn and could fair fight against seven-turns, but in the Golden in, seven-turns were not the most powerful beings.
There was always an insurmountable barrier she couldn¡¯t break.
This time, apart from leading the way for Dean McKenzie, she also saw an opportunity to break through that barrier.
In line with this thought, Strong Grass couldn¡¯t help but steal a nce at Dean McKenzie.
A look that didn¡¯t escape Dean, whose gaze then met hers. Seeing him looking back, Strong Grass immediately looked away like a startled rabbit.
This left Kael dumbfounded.
After all, he had previously seen Strong Grass, the powerful ruler of the SwiftWind Goblin Tribe and the main force behind the Golden in Alliance.
Her aura was overwhelming even for him, forcing him to acknowledge her status as a powerful Queen-like figure.
However, in front of Dean McKenzie, she had turned into a shy figure, who couldn¡¯t even hold his gaze.
In response, all Kael could say was, love is indeed a magical thing.
It could traverse species andpletely drown one¡¯s self!
¡°I think you should consider her. Sure, she might not meet our aesthetic standards but amongst Goblins, she is definitely a beauty. Besides, she is talented and influential!¡±
¡°I think you two are quite a match!¡±
Kael couldn¡¯t help but tease Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie just nced at him but didn¡¯t say a word. Nevertheless, he already had a n on how and where to bury Kael.
Unaware of Dean¡¯s ns, Kael went over to Strong Grass¡¯ side to tease her about ying matchmaker.
Even though Dean McKenzie knew that Kael was just trying to bond with Strong Grass, whomanded over millions of believers, he felt that Kael was using the wrong approach.
After all his teasing, a cold look from Strong Grass instantly shut him up.
Intuition told Kael that if he continued to trust Strong Grass, she would put herself in her hands.
While Strong Grass would blush from a mere nce from Dean McKenzie, she wouldn¡¯t bat an eye while quartering him.
Although he had a Holy Light Knight group backing him, that might not be of any use against an infuriated woman. Not to mention, they still needed her to guide them.
Talking about that, the first time Dean McKenzie entered the duplicate domain, it was Strong Grass who familiarized him with the environment.
As a guide, Strong Grass was exceptionally proficient.
Under her guidance, their journey was smooth, and they didn¡¯t encounter any monsters. In less than a day, their group had reached the depths of the Golden in..
Chapter 376: 214 Inheritance Altar_2
Chapter 376: 214 Inheritance Altar_2
Strong Grass stopped the team on a in: ¡°This is almost the limit of where
I¡¯ve been. Beyond this, there is a colossal wind belt where hurricanes swirl all year round, their powerparable to a Seven-turn attack. I¡¯ve only ventured in once, forced out after just fifteen meters, and I estimate that the wind belt spans at least one thousand five hundred meters.¡±
¡°Even for our team, we wouldn¡¯t be able to make it past, unless our leader steps
in!¡±
Kyle chose to ignore Strong Grass¡¯s Travis-worthy words.
After all, she¡¯d said it countless times on their journey.
Kyle could only say that a woman poisoned by love was truly beyond saving.
In her eyes, their leader Dean McKenzie was an unparalleled being. Their team of 50 Seven-turn Holy Light Knightsbined couldn¡¯t even match a single finger of her leader.
Kyle couldn¡¯t argue, only agreeing: ¡°Yes, yes, as you say!¡±
After all, he was counting on these two to navigate, and their millions of followers. He certainly couldn¡¯t offend them.
But just because Kyle could ept it doesn¡¯t mean the knights behind him would.
¡°Miss Goblin, please refrain from doubting our abilities!¡±
The captain of the Holy Light Knight Order stated arrogantly: ¡°As a Six-turn, you know nothing of our capabilities, or the real power of a true Seven-turn!¡±
What does Seven-turn mean?
Areas inessible to you, a Six-turn, we can ess; enemies you Six-turn
can¡¯t kill, we can eliminate.
Advanced effects, a tenfold increase, that is Seven-turn!¡±
All team members, get in position!¡±
Move!¡±
With the orders of the captain, the Holy Light Knights formed a formation, protecting Kyle and Dean McKenzie in the center, and directly plunged into the
Wind Belt.
Before they entered, the team was brimming with confidence.
However, the moment they stepped foot into the Wind Belt, they were given a harsh reality check.
The power of the Wind Belt far exceeded their expectations. The initial hurricane almost scattered their formation.
Fortunately, the Holy Light Knight Order did have some skills. They held their ground.
They managed to prate 25 meters into the storm.
The further they went, the harder it became.
They gritted their teeth through the final 10 meters.
After all, they had pride. There was no reason a Six-turn Goblin could venture
15 meters in, and they, after boasting about their Seven-turn strength, could fall short after fewer than 15 meters. That would be too embarrassing.
At the very least, they had to outdo Strong Grass by 10 meters.
They couldn¡¯t venture any further though. They simply didn¡¯t have the means to continue onward.
They had no choice but to return the same way they¡¯de.
Upon returning, the faces of all the Holy Light Knights were crestfallen, and the air filled with awkwardness.
After all, who told them to overstate their abilities beforehand?
They boasted excessively, and in the end, they only outpaced Strong Grass by a mere 10 meters. Their faces were utterly humiliated.
In the end, it was Kyle who broke the awkward silence.
¡°It seems this Wind Belt isn¡¯t as easy to pass as we thought. We probably need the strength of our mentor to force through. The Wind Belt should have some entrance, let¡¯s find it.¡±
¡°There is one!¡±
Strong Grass immediately responded, as soon as Kyle finished his words: ¡°If we go west about one thousand seven hundred meters, there¡¯s a gap in the Wind
Belt!¡±
Hearing this, the captain of the Holy Knight Order darkened his face: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that earlier!¡±
Strong Grass smirked, utterly annoying: ¡°I wanted to say it, but didn¡¯t you im you wanted to show me what the Seven-turn really is?
¡°I thought maybe you could enter without relying on the gap. Who would have thought you couldn¡¯t!¡±
¡°You!¡±
The captain of the Holy Knight Order was about to explode.
¡°Calm down, calm down, remember our mission, don¡¯t provoke a conflict!¡±
¡°Although we can go there, you must be prepared. There are people guarding that entrance, and the danger level inside will be no less than the Wind Belt, possibly even greater!¡±
Hearing this, nobody dared to boast again, as they just had their faces pped.
Under the guidance of Strong Grass, the group arrived at the gap she mentioned.
Upon seeing the entrance, everyone couldn¡¯t help but gasp.
They finally understood why Strong Grass referred to this as a ¡°gap¡±.
Here, the lengthy Wind Belt was torn asunder, leaving a gap. The wind veered around this point to form a long passageway,pletely surrounded by hurricanes.
From the outside, the tunnel seems to be at least a kilometer long.
There seems to be something hidden inside the tunnel.
Just looking at it gives you a very dangerous vibe.
¡°I tried entering with a Wind Belt once, but I¡¯ve never entered here. My intuition tells me that once you¡¯re inside, you can¡¯t get out.¡±
Strong Grass says as she looks at the entrance of the tunnel.
At this moment, the Holy Knight Order can¡¯t help but swallow their saliva.
Even though they haven¡¯t seen anything, they can feel a tremendous pressure.
Every single pore on their bodies is warning them that there is imminent danger in the tunnel.
Kyle¡¯s gaze naturally falls onto Dean McKenzie.
¡ö¡öWhy are you looking at me? I¡¯ve never been here either. I¡¯ve only heard that the crystal heart is inside. We won¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or false until we enter. Now you¡¯re in charge. Whether we go in or not is up to you!¡±
¡°Go in!¡±
Kyle says with gritted teeth.
The crystal heart is crucial to his future; there¡¯s no way he would back out.
He¡¯s willing to face whatever stands in his way.
¡°Charge!¡±
Kylemands promptly, without any hesitation.
With Kyle¡¯s order, the Holy Knight Order behind him casts away their fear, and together with Dean McKenzie, they charge towards the entrance of the tunnel. When ites to obeyingmands, the knight brigade surely does an excellent job.
Despite knowing the dangers ahead, they wouldn¡¯t even furrow their brows at Kyle¡¯smand.
They swiftly enter the tunnel as a single, cohesive unit.
Unexpectedly, danger doesn¡¯t immediately ensue as they enter the tunnel. The entire team smoothly makes it to the center of the tunnel.
Once there, they halt.
A giant altar stands in the middle of the tunnel.
The altar takes up a significant portion of the tunnel¡¯s space.
Standing guard below the altar is a fully armored soldier holding a long sword.
His mere presence presses heavily upon Kyle and his team, stopping them in their tracks.
The entire Holy Knight Order instinctively takes a battle stance.
It¡¯s obvious they are feeling a tremendous pressure from the long sword-wielding soldier.
Among them, one person¡¯s eyes light up with intense interest at the sight of the altar and the soldier.
It¡¯s Strong Grass!
Not just her eyes, but her entire being exudes excitement upon seeing the altar.
Her towering 2.3 meter ¡®delicate¡¯ body can¡¯t help but quiver. sping her Wolf Tooth Club, she appears eager to move forward.
Noticing this, Dean McKenzie shifts his gaze onto the altar.
Name: Goblin¡¯s Inheritance Altar
Description: Any who can reach the altar while enduring the guardian¡¯s attacks will receive the inheritance of the goblin.
PS: Killing the altar¡¯s guardian will grant a moreplete and powerful inheritance.
PSS: There is no rule stating that the challenge against the altar guardian must be undertaken alone.
The altar¡¯s properties are simple.
Then, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze falls on the fully armed soldier, disclosing its properties.
Name: Altar Guardian
Temte: Legendary
Level: 141
Traits: Guardian of the Altar (S) (Can blink at will within 500 meters of the altar, plus a 2500% increase in all attributes, 33% increase in evasion, and 33% damage reduction within this range.)
Description: Although it only excels near the altar, one has to admit that it¡¯s incredibly powerful when it is!
Chapter 377: 215 Legendary Goblin Queen
Chapter 377: 215 Legendary Goblin Queen
¡°Goblin Inheritance Altar?¡±
¡°Seven-turn Legendary BOSS?¡±
As Dean McKenzie saw the attributes of the altar, Kyle on the other side had also roughly figured out the attributes of the altar and its guardian.
Upon seeing these two attributes, Kyle¡¯s eyes fell involuntarily on the Strong Grass.
He had reason to suspect that the Strong Grass had deliberately led them here to recruit help to climb the altar, and he even had the evidence to prove it.
Otherwise, why would there be a goblin altar here so coincidentally?
So, Kyle asked again, ¡°Is the area behind this the depths of the Golden in?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Strong Grass nodded solemnly.
Dean McKenzie added, ¡°ording to my information, the Crystal Heart is in there!¡±
¡°Alright, let¡¯s fight!¡±
Kyle gritted his teeth, ¡°But it¡¯s powerful. My Holy Knight Order can only buy you some time!¡±
¡°OK!¡±
The two quickly reached a tacit agreement.
Then, at Kyle¡¯smand, his Order of Holy Light charged towards the altar.
As soon as the Order of Holy Light got close to the altar, the altar guardian immediately became active.
There was a flickering sh of light.
The altar guardian returned to its original position, and the entire Order of the Holy Light stopped.
The next second.
With a squelching sound, all 50 Holy Light Knights spat out blood.
In less than a second, the entire 50-man Seven-turn Order of the Holy Light waspletely incapacitated.
At this moment, Kyle truly understood the formidable strength of this altar guardian.
He originally hoped that his Holy Light Order could create an opportunity for Strong Grass to climb the altar. Looking at the situation now, it was nothing but a dream!
Kyle broke out in a cold sweat.
He involuntarily squeezed a scroll in his hand.
Could he really use his trump card here?
While Kyle was hesitating, the Strong Grass had already charged forward.
The charge startled Kyle.
Did she have no eyes?
Didn¡¯t she see that the entire Order of the Holy Light was wiped out in less than a second?
A Seven-turn Order of the Holy Light couldn¡¯t evenst 1 second, what could a lone Six-turn Goblin do?
Seize a chance for a quick death?
But when Strong Grass charged up, Kyle found that the situation was not as he had anticipated.
Although the guardian of the altar blinked over as soon as the Strong Grass advanced.
The altar guardian couldn¡¯t hit her though.
Because at the same moment he arrived, Strong Grass had already retreated at top speed to 500 meters away. That gigantic Wolf Tooth Club was still there, like a trap waiting for the enemy.
When the enemy blinked over, he saw that Strong Grass was already outside his attack range.
Subconsciously, he took a step forward!
This step put him out of the 500-meter range. The Wolf Tooth Club turned into a huge wolf and repelled him, keeping the altar guardian outside the five hundred meter radius.
Strong Grass seized this opportunity and raced towards the altar.
In this brief battle of just a few seconds, Strong Grass disyed the height of her observational skills, and her ability to create a tacticalyout.
Using a Seven-turn level Wolf Tooth Club item, she sessfully bought herself some time.
She managed to reach the foot of the altar before the goblin altar guardian was able to free itself from the binds.
If all goes well, Strong Grass would be able to climb the altar.
But to everyone¡¯s surprise, just as the altar guardian was pinned down beyond the five hundred meter mark, the altar moved forward two meters.
These two meters brought the altar guardian who was pinned beyond five hundred meters into the 500-meter radius.
In an instant, the altar guardian¡¯s strength increased twenty-five fold, and the gigantic wolf pinning him down was instantly torn to pieces. At the same time, the altar guardian blinked to the front of the altar, and his sword was falling towards Strong Grass¡¯s forehead.
¡°What a pity!¡±
Seeing this, Kyle couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh.
Although Strong Grass¡¯s performance wasmendable, gathering the limits of the information she could in a split second and pushing herbat abilities to their limits.
She, a six-turn being, sessfully set up a trap for the seven-turn legendary quality boss.
But she still lost in the end.
There¡¯s no way around it, six-turn beings can¡¯tpete head-on with seven-turn beings!
Not to mention a shameless seven-turn being.
With that sh, it looks like the Goblin Queen is done for.
At this moment, Kyle quickly turned to look at Dean McKenzie. After all, she was Dean¡¯s old me, would he be upset?
When Kyle turned around, he found that Dean McKenzie hade in front of him and grabbed his hair.
¡°What are you looking at? Run!¡±
Without waiting for Kyle¡¯s reaction, he dragged him into a flight spell and flew away.
Strong Grass, who turned her head, saw everything clearly.
Seeing her leader run away with another man the moment she was to be executed, Strong Grass was filled with mixed emotions.
The next second, the sword fell.
Strong Grass spread her arms. Since she decided to gamble, she was prepared for the possibility of losing.
With her leader running off with another man, the now heartbroken Strong Grass calmly faced death.
The sword struck Strong Grass, making a muffled ¡°thud¡±.
Already resigned to her fate, Strong Grass froze.
The horrifying sword of the goblin bossnded on Strong Grass¡¯s head, but it didn¡¯t hurt her at all..
Chapter 378: 215 Legendary Goblin Queen_2
Chapter 378: 215 Legendary Goblin Queen_2
Strong Grass was stunned at that moment!
Was her head that hard?
How did she not know about it, or rather, was it the leader?! It had to be the leader!
Instinctively, Strong Grass looked towards Dean McKenzie.
But at this moment, Dean McKenzie had already led Kyle out of the cave, but two skeletons appeared where he had just been.
One of them held a shield, appearing rather ordinary, while the other held an exaggeratedly shaped skeletal bow.
As Strong Grass nced over, the skeletal archer drew his bow and fired.
There was a soft ¡°splutch¡±.
The goblin altar guardian, which had just frenziedly killed fifty seven-turn Holy Light Knights in one second, instantly activated its blink mode.
It frenziedly blinked around within a 500-meter radius of the altar, changing its position hundreds of times within a second.
Such swift speed caused hundreds of projections of the altar guardian to appear around the altar.
The maneuver was super cool.
But in the next second, these hundreds of altar guardian projections shattered, leaving only one whose knee was pinned to the ground by an arrow.
Then, four more arrows descended, and the so-called legendary-level altar guardian was nailed to the ground like a dead dog.
At this moment the guardian was still alive, but it had lost the ability to resist.
The next second, another two arrows came.
One hit the altar guardian between the eyebrows and the othernded on its heart.
Both the arrows were light, prating its defense but not severely injuring it.
Afternding these two arrows, Old Nine¡¯s gaze fell on Strong Grass.
Pupil Fire flickered, and he snorted coldly!
Old Nine didn¡¯t say a word, but Strong Grass understood what he meant.
What are you looking at?
Pick it up, pick up the head on the ground!
Although Strong Grass didn¡¯t like Old Nine¡¯s attitude and she also didn¡¯t like the idea of relying on others¡¯ strength to obtain inheritance.
But if it was the leader¡¯s strength, and if it was to gain great power to help the leader, Strong Grass could ept that.
So, Strong Grass gritted her teeth and firmly grasped the arrows, violently thrusting them into the altar guardian¡¯s forehead and heart.
As the two arrows fell,
With a ¡°splutch¡±, the altar guardian was instantly killed on the spot.
It turned into a beam of light and entered the altar.
Simultaneously, a road of flowing light was paved under Strong Grass¡¯s feet at the altar.
Strong Grass got up and nced at the two ordinary-looking skeletons, gritted her teeth, and strode onto the altar!
Just as Strong Grass stepped onto the altar, a system prompt appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
[Your subordinate [Strong Grass] has climbed the Goblin Inheritance Altar and received the highest level of inheritance from the Goblin Inheritance Altar!]
[Your subordinate [Strong Grass] has obtained the Goblin Legend Queen
Temte and leveled up to level 141!]
[Your subordinate [Strong Grass] has been promoted to Goblin Queen, and your Lord Temte has been upgraded to [Goblin Legend Lord]!]
[You have witnessed the birth of the Goblin Queen. You have gained 3000 exploration points, and currently have 4330 points!]
Hearing these flurry of system prompts refreshing in his ears, Dean McKenzie¡¯s mouth curled into a smile.
His gaze then fell on the two attribute panels that had appeared in front of him.
Lord Temte: Goblin Legend Lord
Temte Level: Legendary
Effect 1: Can summon the Goblins from your own territory to serve you (this summon ignores time and space)
Effect 2: When wearing this temte title, all Goblins under yourmand will have their attributes increased by five hundred percent
Name: Strong Grass
Temte: Goblin Legend Queen (Legendary)
Level: Level 141
Description: The queen¡¯s legend (S) (As the queen of the Goblin tribe, you will gain all the power that a legend should have!
Engrave the legend into an epic that is spread among worlds other than the world of Goblins. The more widely the story spreads, the more people believe in it, the closer you get to the power of the legend!)
Looking at these two attribute temtes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but squint his eyes.
There¡¯s no need to mention his Lord¡¯s temte. With that temte, Dean McKenzie would be able to summon a Goblin army in reality.
Although the current Goblin army is inferior to the Skeleton Legion he summoned at will, it can summon the Strong Grass, which is what Dean McKenzie looks forward to.
And then there¡¯s the present temte of Strong Grass.
The ¡°Legendary Queen¡± trait seems to be about making a bluff a reality, ording to its attribute description.
This is the first time Dean McKenzie has encountered this trait, and he has no idea about the leeway it allows.
¡°How about setting up a big IP temte based on the Strong Grass archetype once we get out, enriching people¡¯s spiritual life with some movies, TV shows, books, andics?¡±
This should not be difficult for Dean McKenzie.
After all, Dean McKenzie has money, manpower, and stories now!
Without considering the cost, creating an IP should not be a problem.
As for the specifics, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t have any ideas yet.
¡°I¡¯ll find people to consultter!¡±
¡°Consult what?¡±
Dean McKenzie was mumbling when Kyle, rubbing his scalp with a gloomy face, approached him.
¡°Can¡¯t you y gently?
You¡¯ve plucked arge patch of my hair.¡±
¡°No worries, you¡¯re not one of those starving writers who stay up all night writing. The hair you¡¯ve lost will grow back!¡±
¡°What nonsense are you talking about? What starving writers?¡±
¡°With your knowledge, it¡¯s hard for me to exin. So, just think of them as a bunch of chubby guys who hope to make a living and seed through their fantasies!¡±
¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±
Kyle frowned, ¡°Seriously, do you still have the mood to joke around?
Your wife might have already been split in half by now, aren¡¯t you worried?¡±
¡°I need to correct you, she¡¯s not my wife, just one of my subordinates!¡±
¡°Is that the point?
The point is she¡¯s dead now, do you get it?
Her death will cause us a big trouble, not just a matter of whether we can pass through this channel, but also whether the alliance¡¯s previous decision could still be implemented?¡±
What Kyle was truly worried about was the one million followers he had just acquired.
He was afraid the one million followers would vanish along with the death of Strong Grass, which would render his previous joys null.
¡°Don¡¯t be too pessimistic, she might still be alive.¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who initially pulled me out because you thought she was sure to die?
Oh, now you ask me not to be too pessimistic. Why not ask me to be optimistic and say not only is she possibly still alive, but she might have evenpleted the inheritance.
Why don¡¯t you be more optimistic and think she mighte out as a beauty¡.¡±
Kyle hadn¡¯t finished his sentence when he saw Dean McKenzie in front of him staring in surprise.
His expression was as if he had seen a beauty.
Kyle paused and subconsciously looked towards the cave entrance. And when he saw it, he couldn¡¯t help but curse in awe!
Out from the cave entrance, a beautiful woman with green long hair, wearing a regal and dignified armor, standing about 1.8 meters tall, walked out wielding a long sword.
Kyle just froze, how could there be such a beauty in this cave?
What bewildered Kyle even more was that the moment this beauty came out, she looked towards them and walked steadily and unwaveringly towards them.
With her arrival, Kyle distinctly felt the immense pressureing from her.
This pressure was no less than that of the Goblin altar guardian they encountered just before.
Without doubt, the beauty in front of him was a legendary-level Seven-turn powerhouse.
When faced with such an abruptly appearing powerful figure, even though she was beautiful, Kyle couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous, his hand subconsciously gripping his trump card.
Not until this beauty approached them.
Or to be precise, approached Dean McKenzie. She knelt on one knee before him and said, ¡°Leader!¡±
Her kneel and her call of ¡°leader¡± thoroughly confused Kyle.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is she kneeling to Dean McKenzie? Why is she calling him Leader?¡±
Wait. Green? Leader?
Kyle¡¯s gaze once again fell on the woman¡¯s face, or to be precise, her eyes. When he saw the familiar reflection of Dean McKenzie in her eyes, Kyle felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He turned his head and red at Dean McKenzie with anger.
What a detestable guy!
Chapter 379: 216 Legendary Wraith Scourge Recorder
Chapter 379: 216 Legendary Wraith Scourge Recorder
Envy, such intense envy!
As much as Kyle wanted tough before, that¡¯s how much he envied now!
He just couldn¡¯t fathom how a two-meter-tall giant tank could instantly turn into a stunning beauty of 1.8 meters.
That figure, that face, that demeanor, absolutely top-notch in every aspect.
What Kyle found unbearable was that this beauty would act all queenly towards others, but turned into a demure little girl in front of Dean McKenzie. She would even be shy during a deep eye contact with McKenzie.
What man could resist this?
Can¡¯t you see how McKenzie¡¯s gaze towards her is bing more and more improper?
Kyle¡¯s jealousy was driving him to the brink of insanity.
Back when she was over two meters tall, you acted all aloof, as if she was out of your league.
Now that she¡¯s 1.8 meters tall, you changed your tune?
Ugh!
Men!
After all this, you¡¯re just a lustful lothario!
What¡¯s most infuriating is that she just wants McKenzie to lust after her.
Kyle was so infuriated his liver was hurting, and he itched to rush up to the front.
He couldn¡¯t bear to look at this sight. Looking more than a few times was a major challenge to his heart.
But he dared not.
After all, he was just a lowly six-turn weakling. He still needed to rely on the strong grass to scout the way, and thus he could only seethe passively, witnessing all this.
Fortunately, the passageway was not very long.
Just a few stepster, they all crossed the passageway.
After crossing it, the scene before them abruptly opened up, blinding them with its illumination.
Ahead of them, not too far away, stood a giant castle made entirely of gold.
The moment they saw the gigantic castle, McKenzie and the others werepletely astounded.
¡°Is¡ is this made entirely of gold?¡±
¡°How much gold would it take to build such a huge castle?¡±
¡°Finally, I understand why this in is called the Golden in!¡±
They were awestruck by the sight of the castle.
Especially after McKenzie used his appraisal skill on the castle, his shock multiplied tenfold.
Name: Golden Castle
Building Level: Advanced (1 Star)
Building Effects:
1: Golden Heart (As long as the golden core remains, the building itself and its surroundings will gradually turn gold)
2: Infinite Gold (Once this building effect is triggered, it can turn enemies who enter into gold)
3:???
Description: This building masterless
[You have discovered the [Golden Castle], earning 500 exploration points, with your current total at 4830 points!]
This building wasn¡¯t only made entirely of gold, but it was also ssified as advanced.
Seeing this, McKenzie quickly stopped the strong grass, which was about to enter the castle, and turned his gaze toward Kyle by his side.
¡°We are at our destination. I assume you have something up your sleeve that you haven¡¯t used yet?
Stop hiding it! Bring out that secret weapon of yours!¡±
Hearing this, Kyle subconsciously clutched his ace in the hole, hesitant.
¡°Are you intending to just watch as we get the Crystal Heart for you?
If you don¡¯t step in, don¡¯t expect us to make a move.
This Golden Castle looks pretty dangerous. We can¡¯t risk our lives for you!¡±
Kyle¡¯s face darkened instantly.
Just a moment ago, you referred to the strong grass distantly, and now it¡¯s be ¡®our Grass¡¯?
Have you no shame?
You damn two-faced dog!
Despite his inner grumblings, Kyle eventually took out his secret weapon with a stoic face ¨C a holy angel statue radiating sacred light.
As he took out the Holy Light Angel Statue, Kyle bowed respectfully: ¡°May the Holy Angel guide us!¡±
The next moment, the Holy Light Angel Statue in Kyle¡¯s hand ascended into the air. It shimmered brightly in the sky, growing rapidly from a statue the size of a fist to an erging figure of three to four meters, transforming from a statue into a living being.
Only then did McKenzie have a clear look that it was a male angel with a pair of holy wings stretched out from his back.
¡°I thought angels were genderless?
Or does it just look like a male?¡±
With these thoughts, McKenzie¡¯s gaze naturally fell on the part of the Holy Angel that indicated gender.
Just as his gazended on that part, a cold snort sounded.
¡°Scum, what are you looking at!¡±
At the same time, a beam of holy light descended at McKenzie.
Ding!
The strong grass beside McKenzie reacted immediately, raising its sword to block the iing attack.
Its eyes then turned icy, radiating strong killing intent as if wanting to y the Holy Angel with its sword.
However, McKenzie wore an unfazed smile on his face.
Not bothered by it at all, he even leisurely used his appraisal skill on the Holy Angel.
Name: Twin-winged Holy Light Angel
Temte: Legendary
Level: 16o
Characteristics: Holy Light Twin Wings (S) (Passively increases base speed by 250% and evasion by 50%. Can collectively upsurge 250% of all attributes explosively, amplifying one-hit damage by 250%).
Holy Light Creature (S) (Bathes in Holy Light, increasing all attributes by 250%, and dealing 250% more damage to creatures of darkness).
Advanced.
After seeing these attributes, McKenzie turned to Kyle with a smile and gave his remarks: ¡°Your trump card has some pretty good characteristics. Except, its temper isn¡¯t that great!¡±
¡°Scum, you¡¯re begging for death!¡±
McKenzie¡¯s actions greatly offended the Holy Angel, as he felt supremely humiliated.
He couldn¡¯t help but want to rush over and tear McKenzie into pieces..
Chapter 380: 216 Legendary Wraith Scourge Recorder_2
Chapter 380: 216 Legendary Wraith Scourge Recorder_2
But Kyle held him back.
¡°Angel, although this guy is savage, brutal, and impolite, he indeed is our ally. Please don¡¯t attack him. Our enemy is over there!¡±
As the summoner of the Sacred Light Angel, Kyle somewhat controls it.
Under Kyle¡¯s orders, despite its anger, the Sacred Light Angel turns around to focus its gaze and full-bodied wrath on the Golden Castle.
¡°I despise such barbaric and tacky architecture. Be destroyed!¡±
With a cold snort from the Sacred Light Angel, feathers from its spreading wings transform into beams of light, shooting towards the enormous Golden Castle like free offerings.
Each feather bore an enormous force.
If measured in numbers, the attacks started at at least a billion.
Such attack could level a mountain in minutes.
Yet when the same was targeted at the Golden Castle, it caused no damage.
The feathery arrows struck the Golden Castle and immediately morphed into golden feather stings, merging with the castle.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie shakes his head without a word, only clicking his tongue.
The silence proved louder thanughter!
Unable to tolerate the silence, the Sacred Light Angel snapped!
¡°Holy Light Judgment!¡±
With a roar from the Sacred Light Angel, it raised a hand, gathering force in its palm.
The next moment, a massive Holy Light Cross, carrying the will of judgment, crashed onto the Golden Castle.
The force of this blow was unlike the others.
Although a golden glow flickered from the castle before the cross fell, it failed to withstand the strike.
The Holy Light Cross shattered the golden barrier, breaking off a corner of the Golden Castle.
Aiming sessfully, the Sacred Light Angel let loose.
One Holy Light Judgment after another battered the Golden Castle as if they didn¡¯t cost a thing.
After about ten minutes of continuous assault, the Golden Castle was utterly shattered.
But you must admit, high-grade constructions are resilient. This one withstood tens of minutes of the Sacred Light Angel¡¯s wrath without capsizing, and even maintained its core.
This building was incredibly sturdy.
After enduring ten minutes of excessive assault, the core of the Golden Castle finally was exposed.
As the damage spread, a throbbing Golden Heart came into the view of Dean McKenzie and his crew.
Dean McKenzie paused when they saw the Golden Heart.
Kyle at his side was ecstatic.
Both McKenzie¡¯s pause and Kyle¡¯s joy stemmed from their recognition of the Golden Heart.
That Golden Heart¡ªwasn¡¯t it a Crystal Heart dyed golden?
Dean McKenzie was confident from the system prompt that it was a Crystal Heart.
[You have discovered a modified [Crystal Heart/Golden Heart] and received 3000 Exploration Points, current points are 7830!]
¡°Quick, remove the heart!¡±
As Dean McKenzie saw the system notifications, Kyle decisively gave the order.
The Sacred Light Angel in the sky had to pause its attack and transformed into holy light, appearing next to the Golden Heart instantly.
It reached out to retrieve the Golden Heart.
But suddenly, a sh of golden light turned the Level-160, Seven-turn, Legendary Sacred Light Angel into a golden statue.
¡°What?¡±
Kyle was taken aback by the sudden event, while Dean McKenzie looked amused.
Despite not being fond of the Sacred Light Angel, Dean McKenzie had to admit that the angel possessed formidable strength¡ªit couldn¡¯t be easily annihted.
Indeed, a burst of radiant light exploded the next second.
The Sacred Light Angel broke free from the ¡®golden¡¯ state and swiftly reached out to snatch the Golden Heart within its grasp.
This amounted to an unexpected and sneakish attack.
Yet even the sneak attack of the Sacred Light Angel couldn¡¯t capture the Golden Heart.
Because the heart disappeared from its original location the moment the angel reached out.
And after a while, it reappeared in another corner.
And right as the Golden Heart appeared, the entire Golden Castle came alive.
The next second, the gold within the Golden Castle gushed out like a torrent, umting in an instant at the position of the Golden Heart.
This process of merging caused a giant, ten meters tall, entirely gold-colored, wielding a golden spear of several meters to appear in ce.
As this entity appeared, its attributes appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
¡
Name: Lord of Gold
Temte: Legendary
Level: 160
Temte: Lord of Gold (S) (Master of the Golden in, all base attributes increase by 2500% when stepping in the Golden in, damage resistance increases by 50%, recovery ability increases by 50%)
Golden Heart (S) (The magical heart grants it powerful strength, it can permanently enhance its attributes by devouring gold, and even change its form to a certain extent itself, as long as the Golden Heart exists, it is an undying existence.
ps: The Golden Heart can¡¯t be damaged by traits below S-level)
Storm King (S) (Can control the storm, passively increase storm skills by 2500% effect, protected by storm force,)
Attributes: Omitted
Skills: Omitted
Equipment: Golden Spear (Dark Gold)
¡
A single Boss has three S-level traits, each one more terrifying and abnormal than thest.
The moment he saw these attributes, Dean McKenzie knew that the Angel of Holy Light wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand this.
Indeed, at the moment Dean McKenzie was looking at its attributes, the Lord of Gold and the Angel of Holy Light had already begun to fight.
The fight was brutal.
The Angel of Holy Light was severely beaten by the opponent¡¯s Golden Spear, and could hardly stand.
This sessfully ignited the real fire in the Angel of Holy Light.
It grabbed a Holy Light and threw it into the sky, immediately activating its Holy Light creature trait, increasing all attributes by 25 times, then burst into Holy Light wings behind itself, adding 25 times damage to its strike.
It raised its hand and a Holy Light Judgment went down.
The strike was stunningly fierce and spectacr.
With one fell swoop, the enormous Holy Light Cross directly swept away the Golden Spear of the Lord of Gold, and struck the Lord of Gold himself.
The terrifying burst instantly blew up the upper half of the Lord of Gold.
But unfortunately, the Golden Heart of the Lord of Gold moved to his feet, basically remaining unscathed. This sort of damage was nothing to the Lord of Gold.
In an instant, the Lord of Gold had recovered.
However, the recovery ability of the Angel of the Holy Light was not nearly as strong. Not to mention fatal injuries.
Just the damage from the previous explosion was almost beyond the Angel of Holy Light¡¯s ability to recover from.
For a short period, it had no ability to resist at all.
If it could have taken out the Lord of Gold, it would have been okay, but it failed to sessfully take out its opponent and that was unfortunate.
The attack from the Lord of Gold was about to fall.
Fortunately, it was not eventually killed by the Lord of Gold.
Because before the attack of the Lord of Gold could fall, an arrow had already struck its heart, piercing and exploding it on the spot.
Kyle standing on the side was stunned at this sight, turning his head to look at Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie shrugged and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. me it on my skeleton. It originally wanted to save the angel, but the arrow was off target.¡±
Right, right Old Nine?¡±
At the same time, the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie refreshed.
[You have sessfully killed the Angel of Holy Light!]
[You havepleted the prerequisites for the Profession Temte Upgrade. Would you like to start the upgrade temte?]
¡°Yes!¡±
Dean McKenzie clicked heavily, letting the grey power envelope him.
Looking at the gray light on Dean McKenzie, all Kyle could do was cover his face.
He really didn¡¯t hold back at all!
Chapter 381: 217 The Second Crystal Heart
Chapter 381: 217 The Second Crystal Heart
Kyle suspected that Dean McKenzie deliberately attacked his Holy Light Angel but he dare not say it.
Because Dean McKenzie was glowing a shimmering grey hue.
Moreover, the freshly summoned skeleton beside Dean McKenzie, and the gaze of Strong Grass were all pointed at him.
So, rationally, Kyle opted to keep quiet.
After all, without his Holy Light Angel; he was just an insignificant Six-turn, anyone here could easily squash him.
Meanwhile, the Gold Master, unexpectedly having a kill stolen, was quite furious. He twirled around and with his waist almost reaching five to six meters in length, he forcefully swung the golden spear in his hand towards Old Nine!
¡°Thup!¡±
Old Nine was pierced into the ground with the Golden Spear, but being protected by the Guardian Shield, Old Nine was unharmed and still managed to shoot an arrow at the Gold Master!
The arrow shot directly through his head!
Primarily because its heart is valuable, Dean McKenzie had previously ordered, if possible, to remove the heart in a way that ensures its intactness.
Otherwise, Old Nine¡¯s arrow would have targeted its heart.
But because the strike wasn¡¯t aimed at the heart, even a headshot couldn¡¯t kill the Gold Master.
The shattered cranium nearly regenerated instantaneously.
At the same moment when the head was healing, Strong Grass had already arrived in front of the Gold Master and sliced him in half at the waist with her long sword.
However, the upper half of the Gold Master¡¯s severed body immediately burst into a myriad of golden rays, sweeping across the surroundings.
Strong Grass managed to block most of it with her sword, however, she was still hit by the remaining rays.
Thankfully, she was protected by Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield that she had on her, preventing her from getting injured. But she was still blown away.
The two rounds of confrontation demonstrated the terrifying strength of the Gold Master.
Although he was a Seven-turn existence, with the assistance of the golden heart modified by the Crystal Heart, its vitality was extremely stubborn, and extremely resistant to attacks.
This endowed it with strongbat capabilities at this level.
Moreover, since Old Nine could not directly aim at its heart, solely relying on Strong Grass and Old Nine might not be good enough to bring it down.
Fortunately, what Dean McKenziecked wasn¡¯t the number of people!
Just as the Gold Master repelled Strong Grass and stabilized himself, a dagger slid across its neck.
Forced Decapitation was activated, the Gold Master¡¯s head fell off.
At the same time, a ck holy light shone.
A spear appeared out of nowhere in Old Seven¡¯s hand, instantly bombarding and blowing up the Gold Master¡¯s body.
Mirroring this, the figure of Old Two appeared,
¡°Kneel down!¡±
The king of bones erupted, and a powerful pressure instantly fell onto the Gold Master, rendering him immobile.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Old Eight¡¯s bony hand reached forth, plunging into the Gold Master¡¯s body, and pulled out its golden heart.
As a result of this extraction, the golden heart exploded with energy, immediately transforming Old Eight into a golden skeleton.
The Golden Heart in his hand also loosened its grip, as Old Seven dashed over like a baton handover and grabbed the heart, subsequently turning into golden form too.
Old Two, on the other hand, was very smart and directly summoned skeletons under hismand.
Skeleton after skeleton joined the fray.
In no time, several dozen to hundreds of Golden Skeletons appeared in the scene.
But as more and more Golden Skeletons emerged, the energy of the Golden Heart became weaker.
After the 99th skeleton was turned into gold, Old Two personally intervened.
He grabbed the hold of the Golden Heart.
As Old Two moved, the highly consumed Golden Heart finally had no strength to explode anymore, and it was steadily held in Doggy Two¡¯s hand.
With the artifact finally under Doggy Two¡¯s full control, the surrounding gold, including the Gold Master¡¯s body,pletely copsed.
The Golden Heart in Doggy Two¡¯s hand, after making a cracking sound, shifted into a crystal hue.
At this moment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s system notifications refreshed in his ear.
[You have sessfully in the[Gold Master], and received one[Gold Master Chest]!]
[You obtained the[Golden Heart], and sessfully purified the[Golden Heart]into a[Crystal Heart]!]
[You havepleted your task[Crystal Heart], current task progress 2/5, you can submit it now, submitted task reward ranked SS Level!]
[You obtained a Crystal Heart, and acquired 10,000 Exploration Points. You currently have 14,830 Exploration Points!]
[Youpleted exploration of the Golden ins, and gained 10,000 Exploration Points. You currently have 24,830 Exploration Points!]
¡
Numerous system notifications kept refreshing at this time, but Dean McKenzie, currently in the middle of powering up, didn¡¯t notice those notifications.
But it doesn¡¯t matter.
Those in Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeleton crew are very familiar with the app.
After the battle, the ones in charge of cleaning the battlefield got to work.
Glowing dots, fragments of buildings, and even any particrly interesting things in the vicinity were all collected by Doggy Two¡¯s crew, following their motto: leave no stone unturned.
Old Six even instructed the skeletons to dismantle and carry back the altar from the previous passage.
The operations by Dean McKenzie¡¯s Doggy crew left Kyle dumbfounded.
More urately, he was stunned right from the moment when Dean McKenzie¡¯s skeletons began to march out.
Originally, Kyle was puzzled as to how Strong Grass was not just alive but also receiving heritage when she was on the brink of demise?
From the moment Old Nine appeared, Kyle began to understand the state of affairs.
Turns out Dean McKenzie, although appearing as a Six-turn Necromancer on the surface, actuallymanded a Seven-turn Skeleton?
No wonder Strong Grass managed to survive.
Dean McKenzie was truly a master of hiding!
Then he discovered that Dean McKenzie actually had a second, a third, a fourth, all the way to a hundred and eighth Seven-turn Skeleton¡
Chapter 382: 217 The Second Crystal Heart_2
Chapter 382: 217 The Second Crystal Heart_2
The moment when seven-turn skeletons were emerging without cost, Kyle¡¯s emotions went from shock to numbness, eventually devolving into an uncontroble trembling fear.
By this point, Kyle, no matter how foolish, knew that he had been used by Dean McKenzie.
With such terrifying power at Dean McKenzie¡¯s disposal, what did he have to fear from the Holy Light Assembly¡¯s pursuit?
If Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t turn against the Holy Light Assembly, they would already be grateful.
After all, the power that Dean McKenzie disyed, even if it does not match the Holy Light Assembly, is enough to give them a severe headache.
Even that who caused the church¡¯s heart to shatter into several pieces centuries ago would not have posed as much of a threat to the Holy Light Assembly as Dean McKenzie.
Kyle would never believe someone like Dean McKenzie, who proimed to rectify evil and turn to the light, even if a skeleton kicked him in the head.
So at this moment, Kyle was especially obedient.
He crouched trembling.
Pathetic, weak, and obedient.
His obedience seemed to have worked. After Doggy Two and the others finished their busywork, they handed the Golden Heart to the Strong Grass, leaving the rest of the skeletons to work on an altar at the end of the tunnel.
Seeing the skeletons in front of him leaving one by one and looking at Dean McKenzie who was still evolving, Kyle¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but move in circles.
As if deliberating something, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck as the Strong Grass¡¯ long sword rested upon his shoulder. Kyle immediately raised his hands, his eyes stopped moving, presenting the image of the perfect obedient pupil.
Almost at the same moment when Kyle raised his hands.
A loud ¡°Boom!¡± echoed.
A hole was violently torn in the wind belt surrounding the Golden Castle.
A figure shrouded in divine light manifested nearby.
The moment Kyle saw the figure, his face lit up in joy, but then he quickly changed his expression as if remembering something, ¡°Master, don¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Before Kyle could finish his sentence, a stream of divine light directly fell down towards him.
It targeted Kyle, and more specifically Strong Grass!
Kyle¡¯s face changed instantly.
From a single nce, he knew his master had no intention of holding back with this attack.
It was not only targeted at Strong Grass but seemed to be intended to kill him directly!
Fortunately, Strong Grass reacted quickly and blocked the divine light with a swing of its sword.
¡°Master, you¡¡±
¡°Don¡¯t call me master, you traitorous disciple of the Holy Light Assembly, wanting to ally yourself with this wicked necromancer to seize that god-defiler¡¯s heart in order to resurrect him!
You deserve to die!¡±
Kyle¡¯s teacher, Yannis, who was in charge of this operation, righteously sentenced Kyle to death.
Hearing these words, an expression of disbelief crossed Kyle¡¯s face, which then quickly gave way to calm resignation.
¡°It seems that you, master, never intended to give me credit for this operation, and asked me to take the lead only so I could take the me if anything went wrong. Now that you see the Crystal Heart, you canfortably execute me without hesitation!¡±
The Kyle at this moment was much shrewder than he usually was.
Instantly, he figured out the situation.
Turns out, in this entire matter, none of his two partners truly trusted him.
Both sides were just using him.
Well, Dean McKenzie¡¯s side could be forgiven to some extent since they were previously strangers and it was Kyle who approached them.
But Yannis¡¯ betrayal really struck Kyle hard.
After all, Yannis was his dearly loved family and friend. Kyle¡¯s teacher nurtured him all the way to his current position as candidate for Saint.
Deep down, Kyle truly respected him.
But, who could have predicted that in a blink of an eye, he would be betrayed by his dear friend and family member.
In that moment, Kyle felt as if the world had abandoned him, sinking into despair.
Facing the despondent Kyle, Yannis, as the Archbishop of the Holy Light Assembly, maintained a serene and stern countenance, ¡°Nonsense, you coborate with evil but are not brave to admit it.
But it doesn¡¯t matter whether you admit it or not, I have firm evidence here, none of you will escape today!¡±
While speaking, Yannis didn¡¯t stay idle.
With a wave of his hand, a Holy Light Staff appeared in his hand. He swung it and raining down consecrated meteors towards Dean McKenzie, Strong Grass and Kyle.
Obviously, he nned to wipe out everyone in a single swoop.
Facing the relentless Yannis who was adamant on seeing him dead, a look of mockery overrode Kyle¡¯s feelings of helplessness.
His teacher had nned everything meticulously, but he overlooked one thing; he underestimated the strength of Dean McKenzie.
As such, his sudden attempt to y the victor now was asughable as a clown in front of Kyle.
In fact, at this moment, he was truly just a clown.
After the sky-covering attack of holy light came down.
The adversary remained unscathed.
Meanwhile, Yannis felt strangely under surveince, as if someone was watching him.
Surprised, he looked closer at his surroundings only to go pale.
Around him was a swarm of skeletons that had silently surrounded him.
The skeleton group was at least a hundred in number, each of them no less than perfect quality¡ª all of them being at least seventh-order perfect quality skeletons and above.
Among them, several gave him an exceptionally strong sense of danger.
¡°Not good!¡±
The color drained from Yannis¡¯s face at once.
He had just seen the copse of the monster army outside and the annihtion of the Angel of Holy Light. Thinking that the Angel of Holy Light and the final BOSS had perished together, he had rushed over to do thest harvesting.
However, after arriving, the situation was somewhat unexpected.
A seventh-order legendary quality being had appeared on the field, and that necromancer was unmistakably in the process of advancing.
But Yannis didn¡¯t pay much mind to it.
The situation was unexpected, but it was all within his control, so he took action without hesitation.
As a result, just as he attacked, Yannis realized that something was wrong.
What the hell are all these seventh-order skeletons?
This looks bad!
Run!
Yannis tried to escape, but it was already toote by then.
¡°Thud!¡±
He barely moved when an arrow pierced through his heart.
Indeed, when Old Nine¡¯s ¡®Death Arrow¡¯, ¡®Lucky Crossbow¡¯, ¡®God¡¯s Arrow¡¯, and ¡®Absolute Hit¡¯ werebined, it was a force that could kill a god.
As long as there were no special abilities, as long as Dean McKenzie did not restrict fatal shots, a single hit from Old Nine could take down any equivalent-level being.
This also applies to Yannis, the seventh-order legendary quality, 160-level peak Archbishop of Holy Light.
He could not survive Old Nine¡¯s attack.
As Yannis was killed, a system prompt appeared in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes again.
[You have sessfully in [Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light], your task [Fallen Holy Light] officially begins, you will get SSS-level rewards in the settlement!]
[Note: After killing [Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light, Yannis], your rtionship with the Holy Light Church is beyond reconciliation!]
[You can choose to settle the instance task within thirty minutes!]
[After thirty minutes, the Church of Holy Light will initiate a holy war against you!]
¡
This time the system prompt was semipulsory, and Dean McKenzie, who was in the middle of his temte upgrade, saw the prompt.
At this moment, Dean McKenzie could choose to stop the upgrade.
But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t make that choice; after all, once the temte upgrade was interrupted, it could not be resumed.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t think it was necessary.
Just a holy war from the Church of Holy Light, right?
Let¡¯s fight!
As far as this instance was concerned, the strongest the Church of Holy Light could be was eighth-order, Dean McKenzie thought he had a fair chance if he took them head-on.
¡°Let theme!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, giving instructions to Doggy Two to prepare for battle, and then continued to delve into his temte upgrade.
On the other side, at the Golden Castle,
With Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Doggy Two and the others took their positions, ready for the impending holy war.
Soon, thirty minutes passed.
When the time came.
A massive cross of holy light descended from the sky, violently crashing at the location of the Golden Castle.
As the cross of holy lightnded, Dean McKenzie and his party were instantly submerged¡
Chapter 383: 218
Chapter 383: 218
The Golden in, where the Golden Castle stands!
The huge Cross of Holy Light descended furiously.
¡°Divine Judgment, it¡¯s Divine Judgment!¡±
The moment the cross fell, a look of shock spread across Kyle¡¯s face. He knew what that cross was.
It was almost the strongest weapon the Church of Holy Light had against outsiders.
Long-ranged and extremely powerful.
One wave could wipe out even a Seven-turn being.
It¡¯s over!
Watching the falling massive Cross of Holy Light, Kyle spread his arms as if he was ready to face death.
The next second, the Cross of Holy Lightpletely descended.
Instantly, intense holy light covered the entire Golden Castle.
Under this strike, 99% of the Wraith Army led by Dean McKenzie were wiped out. Apart from Dean, Kyle, and Strong Grass, only Doggy Two, Old Four, and Old Nine were left.
It was Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield that withstood this wave of damage.
And among those who survived was Kyle.
This was something Kyle did not anticipate. Would Dean actually save him? Was he actually still alive?
But very quickly, he had no time to think about this because the second and third waves of the Divine Judgment began to descend.
The holy light kept illuminating the Golden in.
Under wave after wave of intense holy light, the ce where Dean and the others were standing was quickly ttened, and even the surrounding Wind Belt was destroyed under the holy light.
However, Dean and the others still stood tall within the holy light!
It seemed that the Church of Holy Light realized that they were not able to kill Dean just by using the Divine Judgment.
As a result, the Divine Judgment was quickly withdrawn.
Following that, seven silhouettes appeared above the ruins of the Golden Castle.
¡°Is it they?
Heretic Execution Team!¡±
Dean¡¯s side probably did not recognize those seven guys, but as the former substitute holy child, Kyle recognized them with one nce.
And he quickly informed Dean and the others about them!
¡°These seven are members of the Heretic Execution Team. Each of them is a Seven-turn Heretic Executioner-quality temte, and they all wear a Seven-turn tinum Set. They are more terrifying in terms of fighting power than most archbishops.
I didn¡¯t expect seven of them would appear so suddenly. The legends say that together, they are capable of fighting against an eighth-turn entity!¡±
That being said, the Church of Holy Light¡¯s hand was really shocking. Seven Heretic Executioners of legendary quality were sent out so casually. This really overestimated Dean¡¯s side.
¡°Heretics, die!¡±
As Kyle made his introduction, the seven Heretic Executioners moved simultaneously, charging straight at Dean.
Their movements were fast, but Doggy Two and others from their side weren¡¯t slow either.
With one arrow, Old Nine immediately took down a Heretic Executioner.
Doggy Two immediately burst into action, the Bone Throne behind him intervened, wielding the Dragon Bone Sword, singlehandedly blocking the other six Heretic Executioners with Old Four providing defense support and Old Nine offering long-range assistance.
The situation quickly evolved into a three-on-six battle.
But the fight was tough, because there was a trait called ¡°Heretic Execution¡± on the Heretic Executioners.
Heretic Execution (S-level) (Inflicts 100% True Damage on heretics)
Looking at the attributes, this trait is seemingly unremarkable. But when put into practice, the terrifying nature of this trait is revealed.
The Guardian Shield simply cannot withstand this kind of trait attack.
Despite Old Four¡¯s Guardian Shield having the legendary trait of ¡°Damage Reduction¡±, the opponents had six of such traits.
Moreover, Old Four¡¯s trait is only a skill trait.
There are actually types of traits. At the pinnacle of the pyramid are temte traits, followed by skill traits.
Under such attack, Old Four could withstand only fifty percent of the true damage. However, the rest of the true damage was enough to break the Guardian Shield.
As a result, within less than three rounds of confrontation, Old Two¡¯s Guardian Shield was broken.
Doggy Two, aware that they could not hold on any longer, risked his life to burst into action.
He directly eliminated another two Heretic Executioners.
As Doggy Two eliminated two Heretic Executioners, the remaining four no longer had any obstacles, and they charged straight down with full force.
Strong Grass and the others hurriedly protected Dean behind them.
But it was of little use.
Soon, Old Nine and Old Four were sessively killed, with only Strong Grass barely holding on in the end.
Seeing that they were about to lose, Dean, who was behind Strong Grass, opened his eyes.
¡°Your temte upgrade is sessful, and you have been promoted to the [Legendary Wraith Scourge Recorder]. Your attributes increase by 10%, and your Spirit attribute further improves by 10%!¡±
¡°Your trait [Control over Bones] has been upgraded to S-level!¡±
¡°You have acquired the S-level trait [Wraith Scourge Recorder]!¡±

Let all bone skills possess the power of legend (can ignore traits below legendary level, including [Advanced Traits]).
Wraith Scourge Recorder (S) This trait is linked to Wraith Scourge. Under this trait, your skill Wraith Scourge will gain infinite potential.
Amid the flood of system notifications, Dean lightly snapped his fingers.
With the snap of his fingers.
The next second, Wraith Scourge was activated, and half of the Golden in immediately turned into a Wraith Paradise.
Endless wraiths erupted from the ground.
At the same time, the Undying Trait of Skeleton Control was evoked, and Doggy Two and others, who had already been annihted, all stood up again.
Chapter 384: 218_2
Chapter 384: 218_2
An arrow once again took away a Heretic Executioner.
At the same time, Old Seven excitedly charged to the front, fending off a Heretic Executioner.
Old Eight was not to be outdone, sneaking and biting off the head of one of the remaining two Heretic Executioners. Thest one was directly taken away by a powerful strike from Doggy Two.
After one round, in less than ten minutes.
The renowned Heretic Judgment Team of the Church of Holy Light waspletely wiped out.
This directly stunned Kyle.
And with the Heretic Judgment Team eliminated, the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie refreshed once again.
[You have sessfully used [Wraith Scourge] to annihte four strong enemies, triggering your trait [Wraith Scourge Recorder]. You gain a deeperprehension of [Wraith Scourge], and your skill [Wraith Scourge] has evolved.]

Trait: Undying (Rare) (As long as you are in the Wraith Paradise and there is at least one Wraith under your control, you cannot be killed)
¡
Looking at these skill attributes, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but gasp.
¡°I¡¯ve only killed a few, and this skill has been upgraded by one turn? It also has an additional trait, with this trait and skillbined, it¡¯s almost catching up to the results of enhancing a skill with my talent!
If this happens a few more times, I shudder to think what level this skill will be enhanced to!¡±
The most important thing is, Dean McKenzie did not have to spend any money on this upgrade.
He¡¯s particrly fond of such cost-free enhancements.
¡°Whenever a battlees along, I¡¯ll make sure to use it. I¡¯m really looking forward to seeing how much this skill can be enhanced!¡±
Dean McKenzie said, his eyes falling on the corpses of the seven Heretic Executioners.
The moment Dean McKenzie saw those seven bodies, he clearly knew that this instance was about to end.
Without Dean McKenzie giving any instructions, the skeletons under hismand already knew what he wanted to do.
In a short while, the bodies of the seven Heretic Executioners, Yannis¡¯ body and the corpse of a Holy Light Angel were brought to Dean McKenzie.
In addition, there was also the corpse of a goblin with a legendary temte that Kyle had previously given him. In total, Dean McKenzie now had ten legendary temte bodies.
These were enough for Dean McKenzie to upgrade the temtes of his three skeletons to legendary level.
But Dean McKenzie chose to upgrade only two of his skeleton temtes.
[You have consumed one [Legendary Temte], upgrading your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two¡¯s temte to [Legendary]!]
[You have consumed one [Legendary Temte], upgrading your Wraith Servant, Doggy Four¡¯s temte to [Legendary]!]

¡
With this wave, Doggy Two and Old Four¡¯s temtes and strength experienced a surge.
Especially Doggy Two.
After his two main skills werepletely sublimated, hisbat power had taken a leap.
Without exaggeration, just the sublimation of [Steel Bones] alone gave Doggy Two the power to face seven Heretic Executioners head-on.
With an added [Bone Eruption], Doggy Two could easily kill the seven Heretic Executioners that he previously needed to die once to face.
If you take into ount the strength and traits of his recently promoted temte, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t even imagine how powerful Doggy Two was at this moment.
¡°Should be no problem to fight an eight-turn, right?
Kyle, I remember the strongest in your Church of Holy Light is eight-turn, right?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Kyle didn¡¯t react for a moment, ¡°Well¡yeah, seems like it. What are you asking this for?¡±
¡°Nothing, just suddenly felt you are quite a good guy, and have the potential to be the Pope of the Church of Holy Light!¡±
¡°Ha!¡±
Kyle waspletely lost and took a while to react to Dean McKenzie¡¯s words.
But Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t go any further to exin to Kyle.
His gaze then fell on the treasure chest that the Gold Master exploded, as well as the items exploded by Yannis, the Angel of Holy Light, and the seven Heretic Executioners.
As Dean McKenzie waved his hand, system prompts kept refreshing continuously.
[You¡¯ve opened the [Gold Master Treasure Box] and received the item [Gold Hand]!]
[You¡¯ve opened a light point, won the Skill Book [Holy Light Judgment] (Angel of Holy Light version), you¡¯ve won [Holy Light Stone], you¡¯ve won [Holy Light Town Portal Scroll], [Resurrection Cross]!
You¡¯ve got 56,000 Purple Gold Coins!]
¡
With the system prompts, one after another good item appeared in front of Dean McKenzie¡

¡

¡
This is what Dean McKenzie has gained.
It¡¯s pretty good.
Dean McKenzie already possesses the Holy Light Judgment, so he learned it right away by taking out the Holy Light Judgment skill book, and also consumed the Holy Light Stone.
[You used the skill book Holy Light Judgment (Holy Light Angel Version), your skill Holy Light Judgment has been merged and upgraded to Seven-turn (Holy Light Judgment)!]

¡
With the enhancement of his skills and equipment, Dean McKenzie, who has been pressured for God knows how long, has be more solid.
And the moment Dean McKenziepleted these, system prompts refreshed again.
[You¡¯ve sessfully resisted the suppression of the Church of Holy Light, current mission settlement, and you can receive double SSS rewards!]
Obviously, the Church of Holy Light had given up trying to take down Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie has killed Yannis, killed the Heretic Judgement Team, and still holds the Crystal Heart in his hands.
Logically, the Church of Holy Light should be locked in a life or death struggle with Dean McKenzie.
But they chose to give up.
This world is like this. As long as you are strong enough, other people¡¯s bottom lines are not as high as you think, and their principles are not as solid as you imagined.
Of course, that¡¯s for other people.
Other people¡¯s low bottom lines and wavering principles are their own.
Dean McKenzie is different.
Dean McKenzie is principled and keeps his word. If he says he¡¯s going to kill, he won¡¯t leave any survivors. If he says he¡¯s going to have the opening to be a pope of the Church of Holy Light, he won¡¯t break his promise.
¡°The Church of Holy Light won¡¯t attack me, huh?
Then I¡¯ll attack them!¡±
Next, Dean McKenzie started to act.
Of course, at this moment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s action is not to directly open the Holy Light Town Portal Scroll and rush over.
Although Old Four and Old Two have given Dean McKenzie much confidence, after all, that¡¯s the enemy¡¯s base. Dean McKenzie wouldn¡¯t be so foolhardy as to rush over.
Dean McKenzie must make some preparations.
The first move from Dean McKenzie is to wipe out those monsters in the Golden in, and Holy Light Knights left outside by Yannis were also all killed by Old Seven.
After wiping out those Holy Light Knights, Old Seven¡¯s base attributes were boosted by 10 times!
At this point, Old Seven¡¯s base attributes were already very exaggerated.
Among the seven-turn existences, its attributes alone even surpass the sum of the four skeletons ¨C Old Two, Old Three, Old Seven, and Old Nine.
Dean McKenzie did his own calctions, if he himself turns to seven-turn, his attributes might not be much higher than Old Seven.
Old Seven, with those exaggerated attributes, saw a huge leap in hisbat power.
This not only boosted its own confidence, but also made it look at Old Two with a different gaze.
Provocation was overflowing from its Pupil Fire.
It was obvious. Old Eight was quite pleased to see this.
It realized that with Old Two¡¯s strength, it couldn¡¯t beat Old Two alone.
So as long as someone wants to fight Old Two, it will surely help, and also find more people to help.
In case it and Old Seven couldn¡¯t beat Old Two alone, Old Eight sneakily contacted Old Nine.
But before Old Eight could sessfully contact Old Nine, Doggy Two, who couldn¡¯t bear anymore, caught this group of rebels and gave them a beating.
Their fight was squarely matched by Old Two, a single Bone Throne thrown, a single Bone King thrown, and the three skeletons were not doing well.
Old Two had a good fight.
But the fight was not particrly effective.
Despite getting beat up, Old Eight and the others¡¯ clear and foolish Pupil Fire was filled with defiance. It was clear that they dare to repeat it next time.
Of course, the fun and games aside, they didn¡¯t fall behind on their real tasks.
Chapter 386: 219 Ultimate Wraith Scourge_2
Chapter 386: 219 Ultimate Wraith Scourge_2
After exterminating the horde of monsters in the Golden in, the skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand moved into action, transporting all the bodies into the Land of Bone.
A single Golden in provided over three to four hundred thousand bodies for Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone.
And this was just the beginning.
After settling the Golden in, Dean McKenzie returned to the Alliance of Strong Grass.
At hismand, the Alliance of Strong Grass mobilized, sending all of their bodies to the Land of Bone.
In response to Strong Grass¡¯s call, all the Alliance factions exhumed their ancestral graves.
They contributed over a hundred thousand bodies to Dean McKenzie.
Notably, among these nearly half a million bodies, there were twelve of Legendary quality.
Mainly because, bodies that had reached Legendary quality did not decay easily, and could still retain some form even after several hundred years.
Hence therge number of them.
After obtaining these bodies, Dean McKenzie instantly upgraded Old Seven, Old Eight, and Old Six to Legendary quality.
[You have used the Legendary Temte on your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven), its temte ascends to [Fallen Skeleton Pdin of Hell]!]
[You have used the Legendary Temte on your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight), his temte ascends to [Indescribable Bone Assassin]!]
[You have used the Legendary Temte on your Wraith Servant (Doggy Six), his temte and Deputy Temte merge, promoting to [Legendary Underworld Magic Architect]!]
[You have expended resources to sublime (Doggy Seven)¡¯s [Fearless Charge]!]
[You have expended resources to sublime (Doggy Six)¡¯s [Strong Stealth] and [Forced Decapitation]!]
¡
In just one go, Dean McKenzie depleted all Legendary-quality bodies he had, which led to an epic level enhancement for Old Seven and Old Eight.
Old Eight¡¯sbat capability shot up, and Old Seven¡¯s core was mainly the trait [Hell¡¯s Holy Light].
This trait upgrade permanently increased base attribute points by 25 times.
It should be known that this base attribute is based on Old Seven¡¯s current base attributes.
This attribute alone is terrifying. If it were to increase by 25 times, Old Eight could be a terrifying number monster throughout.
He could deal hundreds of billions of terror attack points with a casual hit.
As for Old Eight, this temte upgrade granted him an extra [Indescribable] trait. This in and of itself was already terrifying. Couple that with two sublimed skills, and Old Eight¡¯sbat capability was suddenly back at the forefront.
However,pared to Old Seven and Old Eight, Dean McKenzie paid the most meticulous attention to Old Six!
¡
Name: Legendary Underworld Magic Architect (Doggy Six)
Level: 141
Temte: Legendary
Trait: Underworld Architecture (S) (Architectural trait, boosts understanding and construction efficiency of dark attribute buildings by two thousand five percent, with a thousand percent increase in building attributes)
Magic Architecture (S) (Enables any building under his control to be imbued with the power of magic, each building is able to avail of all his learned abilities.
For each additional building, building damage increases by fifty percent.)
¡
Upon seeing Old Six¡¯s new traits, Dean McKenzie was simultaneously astounded and overjoyed.
¡°With this temte change, I believe Old Six will soon break through to be a high-level architect who can build seven-turn structures, right?
I should also step up, quickly and beautifully resolving this dungeon, and upgrade the Land of Bone to seven-turn.¡±
With that said, Dean McKenzie started to take action.
He boldly ventured into the territory of the Holy Light Kingdom.
¡
Elsewhere, at the City of Holy Light.
During this period, they had been keeping a close eye on Dean McKenzie.
Their nerves had be fragile and sensitive, constantly being agitated by Dean McKenzie.
And from the moment Dean McKenzie stepped foot into the Holy Light Kingdom, the frail and sensitive nerves of those in the City of Holy Light became taut.
A council against Dean McKenzie was promptly convened.
At the council, the Pope of the Holy Light Church, who had rarely appeared in recent years, walked in. Dressed in simple attire and holding a scepter, he grimly told the Church¡¯s high officials: ¡±
The evil Necromancer, wielding the power of hell, invaded the great Holy Light Kingdom.
The strength of the enemy was extremely formidable.
Under the full assault of Divine Judgment, they could still take down a Heretic Executioner.
Moreover, within this holiness, I can feel the breath of the sphemer.
Gentlemen, the darkest hour of the holy light has arrived!
I dere that the City of Holy Light will enter a state of alert, with all the power of the Holy Light Kingdom converging onto the City of Holy Light.
This battle will be one where the Church of Holy Light¡¯s survival is at stake!
We must rally all our strength to face the enemy!¡±
Faced with the menacing Dean McKenzie, the Pope made the most conservative decision.
He decided to abandon all ces outside the City of Holy Light and concentrate all defenses on the city itself.
As long as the City of Holy Light stands, the radiance of the Church of Holy Light will never extinguish.
As for what the neglected areas would be, the Church of Holy Light was too preupied to care.
At least, the Pope did not want to deal with it.
The Pope¡¯s decision faced strong opposition from the Church¡¯s upper echelons.
The majority of the dissenters argued that there was no need for the Church to be so tense over a mere necromancer.
There were also voices of concern that giving Dean McKenzie enough space and time would lead to him bing an indomitable force by the time he reached the City of Holy Light.
But the Pope ignored all these objections.
He acknowledged that some concerns were sensible.
However, he believed that the most important thing in this desperate situation was to unite and speak with one voice.
Voices of dissent would bring about chaos, making it easier for Dean McKenzie to defeat them one by one.
As for the other worries, such as Dean McKenzie bing an unstoppable being, he did not care at all.
Regardless of how much a necromancer could develop, it could surely not exceed the centuries of umtion by the Church, right?
Thus, under the Pope¡¯s strong directive, the Holy Light Kingdom abandoned all territories outside the City of Holy Light.
This decision left Dean McKenzie dumbfounded.
Although Dean didn¡¯t know who made the decision, Dean favored it.
With nobody to hinder him, Dean could smoothly umte his forces.
Then, Dean McKenzie¡¯s formidable Wraith Army arrived, digging up all graves in their path and leaving cities bereft of their treasures.
The numbers of corpses and wealth in Dean¡¯s Land of Bone grew visibly by leaps and bounds.
Although most of the corpses were nothing special, with 90% being of ordinary quality, 9% elite, and 0.9% excellent quality, there were very few rare or perfect ones.
But the sheer amountpensated for theck of quality.
Thanks to the huge quantity, there were always surprises.
When Dean reached the City of Holy Light, all four attributes of Dean had been upgraded to legendary quality.
Dean also managed to enhance Old Nine¡¯s Death Arrow skill.
At this moment, Dean¡¯sbat capability had reached its peak.
Meanwhile, in the City of Holy Light.
The Pope watched Dean McKenzie arrive at the foot of the City of Holy Light and heaved a sigh of relief.
His biggest worry was that Dean would break into the Seventh Level in this process, but fortunately, Dean did not. Moreover, Dean only had 3,000 skeletons under hismand.
Although each of these 3,000 skeletons was a Seven-turn Skeleton, the Pope was not afraid.
The church¡¯s profound heritage was there, a mere 3,000 Seven-turn Skeletons were not a concern.
If Dean¡¯s strength was just that, then they could still put up a fight in this battle.
Then, he saw Dean McKenzie open a giant Gate of Bone.
With the opening of the Gate of Bone, Dean¡¯s ¡°Wraith Scourge¡± erupted, turning dozens of kilometers into a Wraith Paradise.
An enormous number of wraiths surged from the Gate of Bone, directly attacking the City of Holy Light!
Soon, Dean unleashed millions of wraiths, and their numbers continued to rise¡
Chapter 387: 220
Chapter 387: 220
City of Holy Light!
A sacred city encased in heavenly luminance in the legends.
At this moment, the city was devoid of any trace of holiness, or at least superficially so.
A dark cloud of deathly force enveloped tens of kilometers around the city.
Wraiths rivaling the sky¡¯s stars gushed out from the Land of Bone, swarming from all directions.
These wraiths directly charged towards the city where the spirit of Holy Light resided!
The City of Holy Light being the Holy Light Church¡¯s base camp.
The City of Holy Light had a profound depth that was unfathomable.
There were as many as 18 structures rated higher than Seven-turn in light power!
These structures were capable of surveiling, protecting, and attacking!
All buildings disyed their formidable prowess when the wraiths first arrived.
At the city wall, eight Seven-turn light structures were illuminated.
Following that, with the buildings as the core, a massive, omnipresent shroud of Holy Light sprang open, enveloping the City of Holy Light, impeding the invasion of the wraiths.
Meanwhile, within the city, buildings sparking with Divine Judgement lit up.
One after another, the beams of Divine Judgement indiscriminately rained down upon the city.
Under the power of Divine Judgement, wraiths vanished in swathes.
For a moment, the area around the City of Holy Light was radiant. None of the wraiths under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, akin to moths diving into the me, managed to infiltrate this region.
The formidable Holy Light even gave the illusion they were gaining the upper hand in the skirmish against Dean McKenzie.
Under this magnitude of ughter, the radiant light force under the City of Holy Light¡¯smand was extinguished by the thousands, even tens of thousands every minute.
As long as Dean McKenzie¡¯s wraith army wasn¡¯t endless, a time woulde where they would be eradicated!
Yet their optimism was short-lived!
Soon, a single arrow manifested from thin air atop one of the eight structures on the city wall.
It came from Old Nine who utilized ¡®Absolute Hit¡¯, ¡®God¡¯s Arrow¡¯, ¡®Death Arrow¡¯, and ¡®Lucky Crossbow¡¯ skills!
The people of the City of Holy Light had cruel luck. The arrowunched by Old Nine had randomly amplified damage of 1499 times.
Understand that Old Nine¡¯s base damage had already reached 3.6 billion.
Combining the equipment and skills, a considerable damage of 1499 times erupted.
The moment the arrow materialized, the ghastly force it brought along made even the Pope tremble.
¡°Boom!¡±
In an instant, everything within a hundred meters from the arrow¡¯snding point vanished. Buildings hundreds of meters outside the city wall werepletely ruined, and only entities possessing Seven-turn survivability could withstand the destruction.
However, most importantly, that single arrow created a massive breach in the once seemingly impregnable defense of the City of Holy Light.
The overwhelming wraith army invaded through the breach.
¡°Holy Light Knight Order!
Holy Light Cleric Order!
Holy Light Warrior Order!
All of you,e with me. Block this opening!¡±
The Holy Light Pope led by example, quickly appearing in the huge breach.
Behind him, the three main army forces of the City of Holy Light were deployed to guard the opening.
Simultaneously, architects in the ranks of the Holy Light Assembly swiftly took action within this line of defense, utilizing every means at their disposal to rapidly repair the damaged city wall.
But could such a breach be easily plugged?
The wraiths, who were attacking the city from all directions under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, had all focused their attack towards this opening.
Under the vastness of the wraith army, the Divine Judgement simply couldn¡¯t keep up.
Moreover, such edifices couldn¡¯t be utilized indefinitely.
Energy and cool-down periods had to be considered.
Soon, the city¡¯s Divine Judgement structures progressively became ineffective.
The wraith army began to swarm towards the opening relentlessly.
Even though the strength of these individual wraiths wasn¡¯t formidable, under the influence of the Wraith Scourge, all of them saw a tenfold augmentation in their attributes along with a countless and fearless horde.
Even though every individual on the Pope¡¯s side was elite, how could elites face the infinite, overwhelming wraith army!
Not to mention, amidst these seemingly irrelevant wraiths lurked powerful Skeleton Assassins, led by Old Eight.
They blended in amongst the ordinary wraiths, asionally bearing their fangs.
Every time their fangs emerged, it resulted in bitter losses on the Holy Light Assembly¡¯s side.
Even the Pope himself almost fell under the strike of Old Eight!
Under such circumstances, the elite forces of the Holy Light Assembly had to remain vignt at all times.
How long could anyone endure under such a state?
In less than a day, the vigor of the Pope¡¯s forces began to wane!
¡°This can¡¯t go on; we can¡¯t continue this way!¡±
The Pope was vividly aware that if it continued this way, they wouldn¡¯t be able to hang on much longer!
¡°It seems like it is time for my sacrifice for the Holy Light Assembly!¡± whispered the Pope softly while removing the crown from his head and the symbolic Papal Scepter from his hand, handing them to the person standing beside him.
¡°Save them for him. If I die, he will lead you all to victory!¡±
After swiftly finishing his final words, the Popeposed himself and slowly advanced towards Dean McKenzie.
The Pope was old.
His steps were slow but very firm!
With every step, a subtle Holy Light emerged from him.
The wraithsunching themselves towards him paused, opening a pathway for him.
As the Pope continued to take one steady step after another, the Holy Light around him continually intensified.
At first, it was like a tiny me in the darkness.
Soon after, it became a small torch!
Then, the Holy Light turned into a sun, illuminating the surrounding gloomy and horrifying atmospherepletely, making Dean McKenzie focus his gaze on him.
Chapter 388: 220_2
Chapter 388: 220_2
At this moment, Dean McKenzie noticed an attribute on the Pope.
[Holy Light Martyr: Ignite your own life, for the path you seek, for the people behind you to light up the brilliance!]
Seeing this attribute, Dean couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow.
Dean had to admit, there were indeed some hardcore individuals in this church!
¡°This one, able to sacrifice his life for his church, is quite admirable, but unfortunately, we¡¯re enemies!¡±
Dean said, waving his hand.
The wraiths under hismand attacked immediately.
Old Seven charged forward fearlessly to confront the Pope, with his spear striking Pope¡¯s body.
With a ¡°crack¡± sound, the 140-level gold-quality spear in Old Seven¡¯s hand shattered instantly.
Old Seven collided with the Pope, passing straight through him.
The following second, a ¡°plop¡±, an arrownded on the Pope¡¯s body, likewise passing through himpletely.
Even Doggy Two¡¯s attempts to intervene couldn¡¯t halt the Pope¡¯s advance.
Still he marched onwards, slow but resolute, reaching Dean.
With a smile on his face, extending his hand towards Dean.
¡°The Holy Light is with me, and may the Holy Light be with you!¡±
The Pope said, reaching for Dean, a dazzle of Holy Light advancing slowly yet surely towards him.
Dean raised an eyebrow. A swipe of Bone Fangnded on the Pope: it had no effect whatsoever.
Seeing this, Dean attempted to activate the Flight Skill, but found himself immobilized by a mysterious power.
At the same time, the Pope¡¯s voice rang out.
¡°Struggling is futile, you can¡¯t escape. This is the power of God.¡±
¡°The power of God?¡±
Dean scoffed: ¡°I have ughtered gods. Would I fear so-called God¡¯s power?¡±
Talking off, Dean instantly adorned the yer of Gods title.
With Dean donning the yer of Gods title, everything around changed. An overwhelming power instantly enveloped everything.
The wraiths, who were unable to approach under any circumstances, instantly gained the ability to approach the Pope.
The once serene Pope, on seeing Dean don the yer of Gods title, lost hisposure.
¡°You, you¡ what did you do to the deity?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you tell? Let me spell it out for you: I butchered them. I brutalized your so-called deity!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Dean¡¯s words echoed, seeming to shake heaven and earth.
Under these circumstances, Old Seven¡¯s figure charged forward again, rushing to the Pope¡¯s face and forcefully twisted off the Pope¡¯s head.
[You have sessfully in the [Pope of the Church of Holy Light]!]
Apanied by the system notification, the Pope exploded before Dean, turned into countless sparks falling from the sky.
¡°Attack!¡±
On Dean¡¯smand, his wraiths charged the City of Holy Light.
Old Seven, having in the Pope, was still at the forefront.
While a battle for others, for him it was an excellent opportunity to permanently increase his attribute points.
For every Seven-turn Holy Light Professional he killed, Old Seven would get a 0.01% basic attribute increase.
Missing this great opportunity in front of him, it would be exceedingly difficult for Old Seven to reach a 2500% increase.
None of Dean¡¯s skeletons interfered with this rare opportunity, in fact, they assisted him.
Old Nine¡¯s arrows flew, one after another.
Each one crippled a Seven-turn Holy Light Professional, likewise for Old Eight and Old Two.
They did everything possible to feed the heads of the Seven-turn Holy Light Professionals to Old Seven.
With their assistance, Old Seven¡¯s attributes increased rapidly.
In less than an hour, Old Seven¡¯s all attributes had multiplied by eight.
His power underwent an epic level increase within this mere hour.
Now, he didn¡¯t need any assistance, he alone could perform a massacre.
An exhrated Old Seven stormed into the City of Holy Light.
However, the moment Old Seven stormed into the City of Holy Light, a strong burst of Holy Light exploded from the city center.
This Holy Light was a terrifying force for wraiths, under its radiance, all the wraiths below seventh level within the City of Holy Light were destroyed.
But in the eyes of the Holy Light professionals in the City of Holy Light, it was a beacon of hope in the darkness.
It was an oasis in the desert.
The appearance of that Holy Light seemed to give them hope to keep living, as all eyes converged on the location where the Holy Light emanated.
Simultaneously, the crown and scepter left behind by the previous Pope took to the air andnded in the Holy Light¡¯s location.
And when the two items settled, a figure slowly emerged from the intense Holy Light.
The individual had two pairs of Holy Light wings behind him. He wore the crown and held the scepter, sanctity and immense power surrounding him!
Dean McKenzie recognised this person all too well.
It was none other than the bishop of Fern City, who should now be the newly appointed Pope of the Church of Holy Light, Lord Kabba.
As Dean McKenzie looked at him, Kabba calmly met his gaze.
At the instant their gazes met, Dean saw mockery and scorn in Kabba¡¯s eyes.
Without uttering a word, Kabba¡¯s eyes had eloquently spoken volumes.
Clearly, to Kabba, Dean McKenzie was nothing more than a stepping stone that had unwittingly brought him to his current position.
This wasn¡¯t Dean McKenzie conjecturing. Kabba¡¯s voice rang in his ear: ¡°As stepping stones go, you did an excellent job. You¡¯ve worked hard to make me what I am today! Now, it¡¯s your turn to make your exit. Use your head to create my epic!¡±
As these words were spoken, Kabba spread his arms wide, and the wings on his back burst forth with an unparalleled radiance.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie viewed Kabba¡¯s attributes.
¡
Name: Kabba Hiller
Identity: Pope of the Church of Holy Light
Status: Blessing of the Double Winged Holy Light Angel (Epic)
Description: Your Godyer title has activated the existence of the Double Winged Holy Light Angel, giving him an unfathomable power boost. Killing you will give him all the rewards of the Holy Light!
¡
Gazing at these attributes, the corner of Dean McKenzie¡¯s mouth twitched.
¡°Consider me a stepping stone, huh? You¡¯ve got a big vision all right, but do you have the strength to back it?
Attack!¡±
At Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, Old Two, Old Eight, and Old Seven lunged at Kabba simultaneously.
Even though they had unleashed their full strength, which was terrifying in its intensity, it was horrifying that they couldn¡¯t get anywhere near Kabba.
Kabba looked at Dean McKenzie and shook his head: ¡°You know nothing of God¡¯s power!¡±
As he spoke, he extended his hand, ready to snap his fingers.
¡°Snap!¡±
Dean McKenzie beat him to it!
His intuition told him that if Kabba snapped his fingers, Doggy Two and the others might die.
Kabba was an Epic quality, if he killed Doggy Two and the others, their demise was inevitable. But Dean McKenzie acted faster, he used his Lord¡¯s authority tomand them tomit suicide.
As long as they died quickly enough, the enemy couldn¡¯t kill them!
This logic that Dean McKenzie used left Kabba puzzled, he had never seen such a peculiar line of thought.
But it wasn¡¯t just Doggy Two and the others that perished with McKenzie¡¯smand, it was all the Wraiths under hismand.
The moment all the Wraiths under hismand died, the Demigod Quality Artifact ¡°Endless Corpse Explosion Staff¡± appeared in Dean¡¯s hand.
¡°Corpse Explosion Art, Endless Corpse Explosion, explode for me!¡±
As Dean McKenzie yelled, his wand lit up, apanied by the Godyer title above his head.
The next second, the endless corpses shrouded in Wraith Paradise surrounding Dean exploded instantly!
¡
Effect 2: Corpse Explosion Art (Passively Increase Corpse Explosion Skill Level by 5, Actively Activate to Increase Corpse Explosion Skill Level by 15)
Effect 3: Endless Corpse Explosion (After Active Activation, All Corpses Within a 5000 Meter Range Can Be Instantly Exploded, and for Every Additional 100 Corpses in That Range, All Corpse Explosion Damage Increases by One Percent)
¡
These were the attributes of the two effects.
The total number of corpses in this area well exceeded a hundred thousand.
Instant explosion!
The intense strength made the entire universe tremble.
This City of Holy Light, which had existed for who knows how long, was destroyed instantly. Simultaneously, eternal despair emerged on Kabba¡¯s face, enveloped in the Holy Light¡¡
Chapter 389: 221 Clear Stages
Chapter 389: 221 Clear Stages
Goblin Uprising Instance!
¡°Boom!¡±
A monstrous explosion, out of nowhere, echoed through the heavens and the earth.
Then, fifty miles directly from the heart of the City of Holy Light was utterly reduced to ashes, causing a severe earthquake within several hundred miles and even a slight tremor thousands of miles away.
At the same time, a powerful gray pir of light soared into the sky.
At that moment, just about anyone in any corner of this world could see this column of light before them.
The power of Dean McKenzie¡¯s endless corpse explosion was earthshaking.
As this explosion urred, the system prompts in Dean¡¯s vision kept refreshing.
[You have sessfully destroyed the City of Holy Light and acquired the Holy Light Destroyer Chest!]
[You havepletely erased the main base of the Holy Light Assembly in this world, revealed all the secrets of the Holy Light Assembly, earned 100,000 exploration points, current exploration points 113,221!]
[You have a deeper understanding of Corpse Explosion!]
[Your trait [Legendary Wraith Scourge Record] takes effect. Your skill [Wraith Scourge] has evolved]
¡
The system prompts keep refreshing continuously.
Yet, Dean, who was at the center of the explosion, didn¡¯t have the time to bother with these system prompts. His focus was mainly on Kabba, who was right in front of him.
Although Kabba was protected by a powerful force, his holy light was instantly destroyed by this ultimate corpse explosion.
Kabba¡¯s body was tore apart in despair by the force of the explosion.
However, despite all this, Dean didn¡¯t see any system prompts of sessfully killing Kabba.
So, the person must still be alive!
And indeed it was as expected.
After the endless corpse explosion gradually ended, a dazzling holy light lit up where Kabba¡¯s body was torn apart.
At the same time, a phantom of a cross appeared on the spot.
Kabba was resurrected under the cross.
¡°Alive¡ he survived?¡±
Upon resurrection, Kabba was momentarily stunned, then an ecstasy spread across his face,
¡°I survived!
Although the strength of the Holy Light Angel is reduced by a tenth, I still survived!¡±
At the same time, Kabba¡¯s gaze inevitably fell on Dean.
At this moment, the despair and fear he had faced the endless corpse explosion had disappeared from his face.
Fear?
What¡¯s there to fear!
Dean¡¯s most powerful offensive couldn¡¯t kill him, and now Dean no longer has any wraith under hismand, and his major offensive was used up. What does he have to fear facing a Dean like this?
Although it was somewhat tortuous, victory ultimately belongs to him!
At this moment, Kabba couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter.
Those who haven¡¯t experienced what he has, wouldn¡¯t understand hisughter. It¡¯s a feeling of falling from joy into the depths of Hell and then crawling back up again.
Dean roughly understood his mood, but he felt it was a bit premature tough.
¡°I think you should take a look at your current situation before you startughing!¡±
¡°Situation? You want me to examine my situation?
You are the one who can¡¯t grasp the state of things!¡±
As he spoke, Kabba spread his arms, two somewhat illusory pairs of wings unfolded behind him, releasing the terrifying aura of an eighth-turn.
Even though the power of the Double Winged Holy Light Angel within Kabba was only 1 percent of what it used to be, he was still maintaining the terrifying strength of the eighth-turn. With such strength, what did he have to fear?
Could it be that after experiencing one wave of eruption, Dean could bring out a group of powerful skeletons?
Well, it has to be said, Kabba guessed it correctly.
No sooner had this thoughte up, than he saw skeletons appearing from the void around Dean.
These skeletons were Doggy Two and the others who had just been exploded?
Seeing Doggy Two and the others spring back to their feet, Kabba¡¯s face turned pale: ¡°Didn¡¯t they already die?¡±
¡°You can¡¯t be thinking that resurrection is only your exclusive privilege?¡±
Dean grinned.
¡°Attack!¡±
At Dean¡¯smand, Old Nine was the first to make his move, drawing his bow, and nocking an arrow. Having died once, all skill equipment effects had refreshed.
[God¡¯s Arrow] [Death Arrow] [Lucky Crossbow] and [Absolute Hit] all activated at once, and Old Nine also used a one-time tinum Quality arrow.
¡°Puff!¡±
The arrow appeared out of nowhere in Kabba¡¯s chest, sting away nearly half of his body.
At the same time, Old Seven was next to supplement the damage.
Fearless Charge mmed into him head-on. Even though he didn¡¯t have any weapons, both hands still managed to m into Kabba¡¯s lungs, who had already had half of his body exploded.
As Old Two¡¯s Bone King erupted, intimidating the opponent, Old Eight¡¯s Forced Decapitation fell on him.
This time, due to the opponent¡¯s level and traits, it didn¡¯t decapitate him, but it significantly damaged Kabba.
Old Two¡¯s Bone Eruption activated, the Dragon Bone Sword in his hand was violently thrown out, directly piercing Kabba¡¯s head.
After a series ofbo moves, Kabba¡¯s body was sted apart.
But despite all this, Kabba was still alive.
At the same time, Kabba awakened from continual striking, and theugh that echoed his control over everything, resonated once again.
¡°It¡¯s useless. I admit I underestimated you, but you can¡¯t kill me!
I am blessed by the God of Holy Light!
Only the power of Holy Light can kill me!¡±
Feeling the blessing power in his body, Kabba¡¯s mood gradually stabilized, and his smile at Dean became more and more wild.
So what if your, Dean, major offensive is horrifying and your strength is strong?
Chapter 390: 221 Clear Instance_2
Chapter 390: 221 Clear Instance_2
No matter how powerful you are, you cannot possibly possess the strength of Holy Light, can you?
As long as Dean McKenzie cannot kill him, the power of Holy Light will make him rise again.
Victory will ultimately belong to him!
Kabba Hiller truly believes this. With an ever-growing smile on his face, until Dean McKenzie slowly stands before him, whipping out a sword shimmering with Holy Light.
The moment Dean McKenzie draws his Holy Light Sword, the smile on Kabba¡¯s face freezes instantly.
¡°Honestly, this is the first time I¡¯ve encountered someone telling me how to kill them.¡±
Since you¡¯re so keen about it, I¡¯ll see you off!¡±
Kabba was stunned inwardly, but he forcedly maintained hisposure. ¡°Where did you get that sword from? It must not have been easy for you to obtain a Holy Light Sword. But the thing is, you can¡¯t wield it. You can¡¯t fool me!¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
With a chuckle, Dean McKenzie casually swings the Holy Light sword, whichnds on Kabba.
¡°Squelch!¡±
The sword instantly cuts Kabba open, and fear and despair flood his face.
¡°Impossible. How could you wield it?¡±
With a sly smile, Dean McKenzie not only reaps lives but also hearts. ¡°Don¡¯t you get it yet? You¡¯ve been abandoned by your Holy Light. How could the Holy Light, the symbol of brightness, favor someone like you who¡¯d do anything to get ahead?
This sword was a gift from your Holy Light for me, to use it to kill you!¡±
¡°No, impossible. You¡¯re lying. It can¡¯t be true!¡±
Dean McKenzie was in utter disbelief.
He was unwilling to ept this reality before his eyes. Dean McKenzie, however, couldn¡¯t be bothered to deal with him ¡ª he keeps chopping him with the Holy Light sword, simultaneously hitting him with the ¡°Curse of 180,000 Vengeful Spirits¡±.
Previously, Kabba had managed to withstand the curse once.
That was because he had a strong mental foundation and he never thought what he did was wrong.
He believed that all his actions were for the Holy Light, and couldn¡¯t be incorrect.
But today, right now!
Under the attack of the Holy Light Sword, his defenses were fully shattered and he entirely sumbed into the curse.
Upon seeing this, Dean McKenzie cast Holy Light Judgment without wasting any words.
With a squelch, Kabba¡¯s body was instantly shed.
At the same time, his soul ¡ª the one fused with the Holy Light Angel ¡ª was swallowed by the ¡°Curse of 180,000 Vengeful Spirits¡±.
Simultaneously, system promptspletely refreshed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[You sessfully killed Kabba Hiller (Twin-winged Holy Light Angel) form and acquired a [False God yer Treasure Chest]!]
[Your title [God yer] energy has increased by 1!]
[Your skill [Curse of 180,000 Vengeful Spirits] has evolved!]
With these system prompts, the fight involving Dean McKenzie waspletely over.
Surprisingly, seeing the aftermath that stretched hundreds of miles around, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t feel as satisfied as he¡¯d anticipated.
Especially when he ascended skyward and saw the moderate damage within hundreds of kilometers as a result of his strike. Dean McKenzie felt a sense of guilt.
¡°Seems like I caused no small damage to this world.¡±
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t let himself dwell in this state of mind for long.
¡°Since the damage has been done and can hardly be changed, feeling guilty here is useless.
What I should be thinking about is how to make this damage meaningful.
Eliminating the Church of Holy Light can be regarded as a positive meaning, but it¡¯s not enough!
I need to do something more!
However, the time I can stay in this world is not long, so!¡±
Dean McKenzie says, turning to look at Great Strength Grass and Kyle that just emerged from the Land of Bones, ¡°You should understand what I mean, right?¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
Kyle looks perplexed!
Honestly, he doesn¡¯t get it, but seeing Great Strength Grass nodding beside him, he feels it¡¯s inappropriate to shake his head at this moment.
So, Kyle just ys along and nods.
Although Kyle nodded along, Great Strength Grass didn¡¯t!
She understood the meaning behind Dean McKenzie¡¯s words.
What Dean McKenzie wanted to convey was,
¡°I feel I¡¯ve done something wrong, but I don¡¯t have time to make it right, and I can¡¯t make up my mind about what to do. So, I¡¯ve passed that responsibility to you.
I don¡¯t know what you should do,
but whatever you¡¯re going to do, it has to satisfy me!¡±
Needless to say, the Strong Grass understood Dean McKenzie pretty well.
One can say that her understanding was spot on.
Of course, while she understood as such, she could never say it out loud.
On the spot, Strong Grass came up with the most needed disaster relief n.
Dean McKenzie immediately agreed to her n and handed over an army of thousands of skeletons from the Skeleton Legion for her tomand.
Under Dean¡¯s delegating authority, Strong Grass sprang into action.
She worked on disaster relief whilst shifting the me for this cmity onto the Church of Holy Light.
ording to Strong Grass, the Church of Holy Light bore unshirkable responsibility for this disaster. They had nned to sacrifice the entire Holy Light Kingdom to make the pope and Kabba ascend to godhood, provoking the catastrophe.
The entire Holy Light Kingdom was on the brink of destruction.
It was the legendary recorder of Wraith Scourge, Dean McKenzie, who stepped in to prevent this catastrophe and save the people of the Holy Light Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Strong Grass was also subtly working behind the scenes.
She imed that the Goblins were the most loyal servants under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, representating honesty, power, and fairness. They were Dean¡¯s messengers across the world.
She even wanted to discreetly spread the word that she, as the Goblin Queen, was Dean¡¯s first wife.
But with Dean present, she didn¡¯t dare to go too far. At most she subtly hinted to the world that she was Dean¡¯s woman.
Through Strong Grass¡¯s maneuverings, the Goblins, in the course of the disaster relief, became symbolic of Dean McKenzie¡¯s messengers in the Holy Light Kingdom. This helpedy a solid foundation for the rise of the Goblins.
In addition to being busy with this, Strong Grass also made arrangements for Kyle.
Dean had previously mentioned that he wanted Kyle to be the pope of the Church of Holy Light.
Strong Grass kept every word from Dean McKenzie in mind.
On this matter, she helped Kyle rebuild the Church of Holy Light.
But this Church of Holy Light was not the same as before.
The original Church of Holy Light worshipped the Holy Light, while the new Church of Holy Light Strong Grass encouraged Kyle to build worshipped Dean McKenzie.
The two churches of Holy Light were fundamentally different.
But the name remained the Church of Holy Light.
This was decided by Dean McKenzie, because he wanted to see if the progress of his mission, the Glory of the Holy Light, could be increased by maintaining the name of the Holy Light Church.
The result was both surprising and pleasing to Dean McKenzie.
As this new Church of Holy Light developed, Dean¡¯s mission progress for the Glory of the Holy Light increased significantly.
He was pleased with this development.
Out of his four tasks, the Corrupted Holy Light waspleted with the destruction of the Church of Holy Light.
The Crystal Heart waspleted when the City of Holy Light ascended into the sky.
After Dean¡¯s Corpse Explosion, not much was left, and the other two hearts were among them.
The remaining tasks, the Rise of the Goblins and the Glory of the Holy Light, were continually advancing thanks to Strong Grass¡¯s efforts.
Moreover, with the activities of the Skeletons under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand, the exploration points were also continually surging.
Looking at these rapidly increasing progress points and the treasure chest obtained from the destruction of the City of Holy Light and the killing of Kabba, as well as the remaining items after the destruction of the City of Holy Light.
Dean McKenzie could already foresee what kind of benefit he would get afterpleting this instance?
¡°Four heartsbine into one, when the timees, I assume there will be at least one epic level entity under mymand.
In addition, the Epic essence extracted from Kabba¡¯s corpse has been used on my controlling skeleton, upgrading the Undying trait to Epic!
Moreover, considering these other gains, once the instance ispleted, I should be able to challenge the seven-turn promotion quest, that is, the Mark of the Hunting God of the Seven-turn?¡±
Two months swiftly passed by amidst Dean¡¯s anticipation.
In these two months, thanks to the effort of Strong Grass and Kyle, the progress of the Rise of the Goblins and the Glory of the Holy Light had reached a peak.
Over these two months, all of Dean¡¯s skills were maxed out to level 15, thanks to the Bone Tomb.
Dean had also opened up the two treasure chests, obtaining a seven-turn Dark Gold attributence and a seven-turn Dark Gold attribute shield, which he gave to Old Seven and Old Four respectively.
All benefits absorbed, and all preparations ready.
With no further gains in the immediate future, Dean McKenzie applied for a clearing of the instance rewards!
Chapter 391: 222 Reward Settlement

[System Prompt: You have sessfully piged the [City of Devastated Holy Light], the [Golden in] and the entire [Abandoned Land] from the [Goblin Instance Secret Realm]!]
¡
A series of system prompts crazily refreshed after Dean McKenzie activated the instance dungeon reward settlement.
From the reward settlement to the Secret Realm Explorer settlement.
Then to the settlement of the [Dungeon Plunder Scroll] that Dean McKenzie used in thest instance dungeon.
This round of things, the gain that Dean McKenzie got was the biggest one since he became a professional.
Though the rewards were not many, each one was a heaven-defying existence.
More importantly, this round of gains hasn¡¯tpletely ended yet.
Dean McKenzie then took out another item and used it immediately.
[System Prompt: You have used the item [Dungeon Reward Double Mark], your item [Dungeon Reward Double Mark] is effective!]
With this system prompt, Dean McKenzie¡¯s rewards instantly doubled.
[System Prompt: You received double rewards:
Reward 1: You can permanently increase 2 attributes by 31 times
Reward 2: 2 Epic level temtes
Reward 3: Randomly acquire an SSS-level trait, and upgrade another trait to SSS level at random]
[System Prompt: You received two SSS level Exploration Treasure Chests]
[System Prompt: The territories you piged from the Goblin Secret Realm have doubled!]
After these system prompts refreshed in front of him.
Two extremely gorgeous treasure chests appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, both filled with epic quality radiance.
At the same time, Dean¡¯s Secret Realm, The Land of Bone, was directly manifested in the Goblin Instance Secret Realm.
As the Land of Bone appeared, most of the Goblin Instance Secret Realm was covered in light.
Under the light, the territory of the Goblin Instance Secret Realm was disappearing little by little.
Simultaneously, the territory progress bar of Dean¡¯s Land of Bone started dramatically increasing.
In no time, the progress bar of Dean¡¯s Land of Bone territory reached the [High Level 1 Star] mark.
[System Prompt: Your Mobile Secret Realm [Land of Bone] has risen to [High Level 1 Star].]
[System Prompt: Your secret realm resource acquisition has increased.]
[System Prompt: The primary equipment of your Wraith Servants [Bone Throne] has been upgraded]
[System Prompt: Your Mobile Secret Realm [Land of Bone] is merging with the Goblin Secret Realm, and increasing in level]

[System Prompt: Your Mobile Secret Realm has leveled up, you can choose one from the following as a reward.]
1. All buildings in the Land of Bone increase in level by 1.
2. All resource points in the Land of Bone increase in level by 1]
[System Prompt: You chose 1. All building levels in your Land of Bone have increased by 1]
[System Prompt: Your Mobile Secret Realm [Land of Bone] haspleted the upgrade. Since more than 30% of the Goblin Instance was merged with your Secret Realm, a permanent passage was sessfully created between your realm and the Goblin Instance!]
(The passage will take some time to open.)]
[System Prompt: Your Land of Bone haspleted the upgrade, the Bone Throne received the Holy Light, and your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) received evolution]
¡
Through continuous system prompts, Dean McKenzie¡¯s [Land of Bone] Secret Realm was swiftly upgraded to a High Level 2 Star.
In some ways, Dean¡¯s Land of Bone and Doggy Two¡¯s [Bone Throne] were connected.
As Dean¡¯s Land of Bone Secret Realm upgraded to [High Level 2 Star], the Bone Throne started radiating a strong light.
This radiance extended from the Bone Throne to Doggy Two, even the Dragon Bone Sword that Doggy Two was holding was bathed in the light.
Seeing this, Old Eight and Old Seven were instantly panicked.
Especially Old Seven, he had just increased his attributes with the City of Holy Light battle and was about to surpass Doggy Two inbat power. He didn¡¯t get to show off for long before Doggy Two started emanating light.
They were all too familiar with this radiance. Every time it shined, it was over; shining meant Doggy Two¡¯s power was going to skyrocket inhumanly.
Of course, they may not be happy about Doggy Two, but Dean was sure to be.
After all, not only did his Land of Bone level up, but also his most significant general was about to evolve ¨C how could Dean not be happy?
But soon, Dean wasn¡¯t so happy.
[System Prompt: Detected your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) is in an evolutionary state, in this state, his evolution has a 37% chance of failure!]
Do you want to pour power into his evolution?]
What could Dean do about this?
He had to agree of course, and then an option appeared in front of his eyes.
Chapter 392: 222 Reward Settlement_2
Chapter 392: 222 Reward Settlement_2
You can either choose 4 [Crystal Hearts] and one epic level temte, or two epic level temtes!
¡°No way, it¡¯s just a skeleton, why does it need two temtes?¡±
Dean McKenzie was certainly not entirely convinced.
But he had no choice, gritted his teeth and chose the first option, thus leaving one epic temte for himself.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Two) is starting to evolve!]
The crystal hearts were given, the temte was given, and Doggy Two straight away entered the evolutionary state.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie was also sent to the Land of Bone amid this series of system prompts.
When he returned to the Land of Bone, the first thing Dean McKenzie saw was the glow of building upgrades shing in his Land of Bone.
Three promotion temples, a promotion altar, and all of Old Six¡¯s buildings were undergoing upgrades.
Among these building upgrades, the ones Dean McKenzie was most concerned about were undoubtedly the upgrades of promotion temples and Bone Tomb.
The promotion temples don¡¯t need mentioning. Among them, the highest level one Dean McKenzie had was brought from the Giant Bear Tribe, which originally was Six-turn level. After this upgrade, it immediately became Seven-turn.
This meant, from now on, the citizens of Dean McKenzie¡¯s Land of Bone could directlyplete the seven-turn trial right in the City of Bone.
Butpared to that, Dean McKenzie was more concerned about the upgrade of the [Bone Tomb].
After all, the upgrade of the promotion temple enhanced the potential of Dean McKenzie¡¯s City of Bone and the workers under hismand. But the upgrade of the [Bone Tomb] could bring direct benefits to Dean McKenzie himself.
Dean McKenzie¡¯s [Summon Skeleton] had reached the seven-turn level due to the previous upgrade of the [Bone Tomb], so the proficiency of the skill had been improved.
With thepletion of the upgrade of the [Bone Tomb], Dean McKenzie believed his [Summon Skeleton] could continue to upgrade itself.
When [Summon Skeleton] was upgraded to its full level, it would then merge with [Skeleton Summoning].
Then it would be further upgraded to the fullest level again, finally leading to skill sublimation.
With all this going on, the strength of the wraith army under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand would certainly get an epic level boost.
But that was a bit far off.
The buildings were still under construction, so Dean McKenzie¡¯s attention fell on other benefits.
The first being those two SSS-level exploration treasure chests.
[You have sessfully opened two SSS-Level Exploration Treasure Chests!]
[You have obtained a special inheritance item, the [Book of Construction]!]
[You have obtained an SSS-Level Profession Inheritance Altar]!
¡
Item: Book of Construction
Description: A book that contains all the construction knowledge of the Goblin World.
¡
Name: SSS-Level Profession Inheritance Altar
Description: Using this altar, you can get an SSS-level profession inheritance.
ps: It can be used once for free each month, covering 1000 people each time.
The second usage requires 10,000 Purple Gold Coins, the third time costs 20,000 Purple Gold Coins, the fourth time costs 40,000 Purple Gold Coins, and so on!
pss: Sess rate is 0.0001%.
¡
Needless to say, both items obtained from the two chests were great.
Dean McKenzie gave the former directly to Old Six.
For thetter, Dean McKenzie immediately set it up and gave it a try.
He tried it three times in a row, spending 30,000 purple gold coins.
Each time, Dean McKenzie maxed out at 1,000 people, hoping that an increased quantity might make up for theck of sess rate. If the number wasrge enough, he might just get lucky.
But he didn¡¯t get a damn thing.
Dean McKenzie began to suspect that this was nothing more than a shameless money scam.
After discarding this item, Dean McKenzie was only left with two rewards.
One was to choose two attributes and permanently increase them by 31-fold!
The other was to randomly upgrade a trait to SSS-level and randomly obtain an SSS-level trait.
As one would know, Dean McKenzie had a habit of saving the best forst when opening chests.
These two were undoubtedly the best rewards that Dean McKenzie left until the end without a doubt.
First, Dean McKenzie focused on the attribute points.
In this selection of two 31-fold attributes, the first, without a doubt, was Spirit. After all, Dean McKenzie was a mage, and Spirit, being his main attribute, should definitely be improved.
For the second selection, Dean McKenzie hesitated for a moment, but finally chose physique.
After all, a little more agility and strength wouldn¡¯t make much difference for Dean McKenzie, but if he had a bit more physique, his vitality would be more tenacious, and he would be more resistant to punches!
Now that Dean McKenzie had finished off this appetizer before the main course of attribute enhancements, he turned his attention to thest set of SSS-level traits.
Without any hesitation, he made a decision right away.
[You¡¯ve imed Reward Three!]
[Your trait[Mental Fortitude]has been upgraded, promoted to SSS-level trait[Divine Spirit]!]
[You randomly obtain SSS-level trait[Second Life]!]
¡
Dean McKenzie immediately opened his two trait attributes to check them out.
Divine Spirit (SSS-level) (Your spiritual power has been bestowed with divinity, all your skills that are amplified by spiritual power are bestowed with divine damage, and your 1 point of spirit can be treated as 500 points of spirit)
Second Life (SSS-level) (You possess the Second Life))
With two traits, the first one is rtively detailed, but the introduction to thetter one is extremely vague.
Having a Second Life, what is the Second Life?
How to activate it?
None of this is mentioned, just a single, simple line for Dean McKenzie to ponder over.
After a brief study, Dean McKenzie gave up and shifted his attention to Divine Spirit instead.
The introduction to this trait is rtively clear.
Simply put, Dean McKenzie¡¯s 1 point of spirit could be used as 500 points of spirit. So, Dean McKenzie slightly opened his attribute panel to take a look.
¡

Looking at his current attributes, Dean McKenzie put down the hand he had just raised to test his currentbat power.
Without even trying, just ncing at his current attributes, Dean McKenzie realized very clearly.
If he dared to try, the whole Land of Bone would probably be obliterated in the process.
¡°Atst, mybat power has finally been restored to its peak!¡±
At that moment, Dean McKenzie was filled with strong confidence aboutpleting the Seven-turn Trials.
¡°The Mark of the Hunting God?
I¡¯ll take on the Mark of the Hunting God!¡±
¡
Meanwhile, in the real world, at the headquarters of the Professional Alliance.
A meeting targeting Dean McKenzie was being held.
The number of attendees was not many, only seven or eight, but each of them was among the top tier in the Real-world Professional Alliance.
There existed only one Seven-turn and even he was of Epic quality.
At this moment, they were all focused on the detailed rey of the battle at Thorn Oak City.
From when Old Seven entered the scene to the end where Bruce Hodge was killed, the rey was incredibly detailed.
After the yback was done.
The person at the head finally put away the tool, his gaze falling on the people present.
¡°This is the situation, and our target is this Necromancer. The higher-ups require us to capture him at all costs.
So, who among you is willing to ept this task?¡±
No one spoke, so the leader added another line: ¡°They are cing a high priority on this task, promising that whoever captures him will get materials for a Ninth-turn!¡±
As soon as these words came out, the silent attendees¡¯ eyes lit up.
Even the Seven-turn raised his hand.
At this, the others in the meeting room protested, ¡°You might not need to bother, he demonstrated quite extraordinary strength. It¡¯s doubtful you can handle it!¡±
However, the Seven-turn was full of confidence: ¡°Capturing him won¡¯t be difficult. Even though the Wraith under hismand are quite strong, all summoning Mages share amon weakness: their ownbat power isn¡¯t strong. As long as we don¡¯t give him a chance to summon.
Capturing him will be as easy as turning over one¡¯s hand!¡±
Chapter 393: 223 Preparing to Slaughter God
Chapter 393: 223 Preparing to ughter God
Alliance, by the sea.
The Gate of Bone opened, and Dean McKenzie stepped out.
As he emerged, a salty sea breeze hit his face.
He opened his eyes to an endless sea.
He had to admit, the sight was quite uplifting.
¡°Hmm, my Secret Realm of the Land of Bone has expanded. Should I bring back some sea to the Secret Realm?
And then have Old Six build me a little vi by the sea.
Living by the sea with flowers blooming in the spring, wouldn¡¯t life befortable!¡±
Yes, as his power increased, Dean McKenzie¡¯s demand for his quality of life gradually rose.
He felt that after working hard for so long, he deserved to enjoy life.
Building a small vi, and maybe collecting some beautifuldies¡
Speaking of beautifuldies, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but think of Piggy Princess.
¡°It¡¯s strange, my people have almost turned the entire Goblin Secret Land upside down, but they still haven¡¯t found them. I wonder where Piggy Princess and Chloe went!¡±
This made Dean McKenzie quite regretful.
Thinking about how Piggy Princess had transformed into the Charming Demon Princess, Dean McKenzie had made a decision back then.
Men, after all, should bear as much responsibility as possible.
And they should also be magnanimous.
Piggy Princess wanted Dean McKenzie¡¯s body, right?
Dean McKenzie felt that he should satisfy her.
But regrettably, he couldn¡¯t find her, so he couldn¡¯t satisfy her even if he wanted to.
It was a pity indeed.
Yes, that was how it was when one became powerful.
When one was weak, all one thought about was bing stronger. Once strong, all one wanted to do was enjoy life, and provide a home for all the beautiful girls in the world.
This was almost amon ailment among more than ny percent of men.
But Dean McKenzie was a little better. He was on the borderline between the ny percent and the ten percent.
He did want to enjoy life a bit, but he didn¡¯t put all his energy into it.
Pulling his gaze back from the sea in front of him, and his thoughts away from Piggy Princess, Dean McKenzie began to consider his next move.
He had saved Anthony.
Now, Anthony had his own things to do, and didn¡¯t n to include Dean McKenzie.
After thinking about it, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t insist on joining him.
In fact, Dean McKenzie could more or less understand Anthony¡¯s feelings.
Anthony didn¡¯t want to force Dean McKenzie to get involved in something he wasn¡¯t interested in, especially when that thing carried considerable risk.
Anthony didn¡¯t want Dean McKenzie to join him, and Dean McKenzie felt somewhat relieved.
Although if Anthony truly insisted, Dean McKenzie might have joined in, but Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t really interested in what they were doing.
After all, Dean McKenzie was a transmigrator, and his attachment to this world wasn¡¯t very high.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t the type to im that he wanted to ¡®save the world¡¯ like Donald Morgan and the others.
After all, reality wasn¡¯t a game instance. No matter what happened in the game, Dean McKenzie could tell himself that it was just an instance and feel justified.
But the real world was different.
Dean McKenziecked the sense of mission that Donald Morgan and the others had to change everything.
¡°Let Anthony do what he wants. I need to stay out of it. But I can¡¯t stop improving my power.
If the Church of Holy Light really invades, I fear I won¡¯t be able to stand aside.¡±
Dean McKenzie took stock of his dealings with the Church of Holy Light.
He seemed to have offended one in the Thorn Oak City tunnel, and wiped out another instance of the Church of Holy Light.
Dean McKenzie estimated that if the Church of Holy Light really invaded, the chances of them wanting to kill him were probably not low.
¡°I better continue to upgrade, that¡¯s the only way to feel safe.¡±
Currently, Dean McKenzie had two ways to enhance his power.
One was the Bone Tomb.
The upgraded Bone Tomb could continue to be used, and with its help, he could quickly level up Summon Skeleton.
This would improve the power of Doggy Two and the others.
The other was Dean McKenzie himself.
If he sessfullypleted the Promotion Quest, his power would increase considerably.
The former part was simple, but the Promotion Quest was hindered by the Mark of the Hunting God.
Although Dean McKenzie¡¯s current strength was incredible, he wasn¡¯t sure he could defeat a god under equal conditions.
¡°It would be best to give it a try before the Promotion Quest begins!¡±
Speaking of which, Dean McKenzie immediately thought of Donald Morgan.
¡°Should I test it on the Bloody ughter God?¡±
As this thought appeared, Dean McKenzie hesitated a bit.
After all, the Mark of the Hunting God was already troublesome enough, was it really a good idea to provoke the Bloody ughter God?
¡°Since I¡¯ve already provoked one, it won¡¯t matter to provoke another one!¡±
In the end, Dean McKenzie had made up his mind, and also took out the tool to contact Donald Morgan.
¡°How¡¯s the preparation of the stuff you saidst timeing along?¡±
Dean McKenzie started with this sentence, which left Donald Morgan a little confused.
¡°Huh!¡±
¡°ughter God!¡±
¡°Oh, you mean that, no, are you saying you want to help me?¡±
¡°Yes, provided the money is right.
I can do without the other stuff, but the Bone Temte and high-quality corpses are a must!
Also, as for Talent Stones, get as many as possible!¡±
Hearing Dean McKenzie¡¯s demands, Donald Morgan felt both pleased and worried: ¡°We can confirm the trade channel, and we will send you as many high-quality corpses and temtes as we can get.
As long as our organization exists, this mission will not cease.
As for Talent Stones, we probably can¡¯t get any above Excellent Quality.¡±
Chapter 394: 223 Preparation for Slaughtering God_2
Chapter 394: 223 Preparation for ughtering God_2
¡°Why?¡±
¡°Because the Alliance has monopolized the Talent Stone resource. Whenever a Talent Stone emerges, the Alliance will take it at all costs and no one canpete with them for it.
In addition to the Talent Stones, they also kidnap people. Anyone who awakens their talent will be taken by them.¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie¡¯s brows involuntarily raised: ¡°Do you know what they do with these Talent Stones and the professionals who awaken their talents?¡±
¡°It might be rted to the Church of Holy Light from the world beyond the Heavenly Abyss, but beyond that, we don¡¯t know!¡±
¡°The Church of Holy Light from the world beyond the Heavenly Abyss?¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but narrow his eyes.
By the look of it, Dean McKenzie felt that peacefully coexisting with them could be difficult.
¡°Let¡¯s set aside the issue with the Talent Stone for now, you guys should start preparing the corpses and the temte first. Also, when are you nning to take action with the god-ying?¡±
¡°Give me three days to prepare and I will contact you then!¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Dean McKenzie was nning to make full use of these three days anyway.
To level up his Summon Skeleton skill.
After finalizing the details, Dean McKenzie ended themunication, and immediately looked up at the sky, furrowing his brows slightly.
Subtle as it was, Dean McKenzie felt like he was being watched.
However, there were no abnormalities in sight.
¡°Was that an illusion?¡±
Dean McKenzie mumbled under his breath, then turned around and entered the Land of Bone.
Almost simultaneous as Dean McKenzie entered the Land of Bone, elsewhere, 36,000 kilometers above his previous spot, an artificial satellite ryed the information it had just recorded to the Alliance Headquarters.
To a meeting room fromst time.
¡°We found Dean McKenzie; he¡¯s near the coastline of Thorn Oak City!¡±
¡°What are we waiting for?
Let¡¯s move!
Apprehend this brat as soon as possible!¡±
¡°No, wait, apart from locating him, we¡¯ve also recorded something interesting!¡±
The middle-aged man chairing the meeting waved his hand, and the meeting room echoed with the recorded conversation between Dean McKenzie and others.
¡
¡°How are preparations going for the items you were asked to preparest time?¡±
¡°Ah!¡±
¡°ying god!¡±
¡°Oh, you mean that? No, do you mean you¡¯re going to help me?¡±
¡°Yes, as long as you pay me adequately.
I don¡¯t need anything else, but I must have a bone temte and high-quality corpses!
Additionally, as for the Talent Stones, help me get as many as possible!¡±
¡
Listening to the yback echoing in the meeting room, the originally noisy room quieted down in an instant, with expressions of surprise and doubt on everyone¡¯s face.
¡°What¡what are they talking about?¡±
¡°God-ying?¡±
¡°They¡¯re discussing god-ying?¡±
¡°Have they gone mad?¡±
At this moment, everyone in the meeting room felt like their entire worldview was being challenged.
Has this world be a bit too extreme?
Two mere sixth-turn professionals nonchntly discussing high-level topics like god-ying.
Are those words even appropriate for them to utter?
While Dean McKenzie and his group dared to speak those words, everyone else in the room was trembling with fear upon hearing them.
¡°Such audacity! They are insanely audacious! How dare they spheme against the gods!¡±
¡°We have to stop them before they act. Otherwise, our ns will go down the drain!¡±
¡°God will crush them!¡±
¡
The meeting room bustled with discussions, but the one who chaired the meeting, the middle-aged man, remained calm throughout.
The calm demeanor of the middle-aged man gradually silenced the others, their attention slowly focusing on him.
Once everyone had quieted down, the middle-aged man began to speak.
¡°The man who just spoke with Dean McKenzie is Donald Morgan, the Holy Son of the Bloody God Church.
As far as I know, their church has a ritual.
A ritual named ¡®Divine ughterhouse¡¯!
This ritual is capable of summoning the avatar of the God of Blood for a brutal blood sacrifice.
After thepletion of the sacrifice, the ritual leader will receive great benefits.
In addition, there is a hidden method to y with this ritual. If they do not satisfy the God of Blood¡¯s desire for ughter after being summoned, but instead view the God of Blood as prey to be killed¡
The leader of the ritual can receive tremendous gains.
They could even burst out with divine attributes!¡±
The mention of ¡®Divine Attributes¡¯ immediately made everyone in the room intake a sharp breath.
Obviously, they knew what ¡®Divine Attributes¡¯ meant.
¡°Also, about Dean McKenzie, he previously annihted the church of the Hunting God in Rouge.
You should all know that it¡¯s not so easy to obliterate the church of a god.
For him to achieve this, he certainly faced a deity.
That is to say, he¡¯s had the experience of confronting a deity!¡±
Upon hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s faces changed.
Especially the ones that were previously mouring toplete the task were now sweating profusely.
¡°Why didn¡¯t you mention such important information earlier?¡±
¡°You want us to confront a god-like being?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t panic. Confronting a god isn¡¯t as grave as it seems.
Due to certain restrictions, a true god cannot descend upon the world. The most he would have had to deal with is a reduced version of a six-turn deity.
Though I must admit, even so, Dean McKenzie is definitely something, but his realbat strength will not exceed eight-turn.
Moreover, he apparently has some means to counter deities.
Although it may work excellently against a god, it has little effect on us.¡±
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone understood his intention.
¡°You want them to take the risk?¡±
¡°Since they have the courage to ughter a god, why shouldn¡¯t we let them try?
My opinion is that not only should we let them try, we should help them try.
After all, if they seed, it would be a great thing for all of us.
It¡¯s possible that a deity could emerge from among us.
Then we, as an alliance, could hold our heads high.¡±
Look at his words.
So eloquent and righteously resonant, as if it is all for themon good, but in fact, he clearly covets the divine attributes and wants to exploit them for the hopes of advancement.
However, they are also willing to do this.
There are just a few issues.
¡°How do we help them?¡±
¡°Bring that thing with you, and use it when necessary!¡±
¡°If we use that thing, there is indeed a chance for them to seed in ughtering a god, but how can we ensure that we won¡¯t mess it up?
After all, we¡¯re dealing with a deity!¡±
At this moment, the alliance¡¯s attention had shifted to the God of Blood.
As for Dean McKenzie, although they admitted that he was capable, he was entirely negligible in contrast with a god.
¡°When the timees, I will bring the Church of Holy Light¡¯s thing as well.
If everything goes smoothly, it will just be for show. If not, use that thing.
With that thing from the Church of Holy Light, dealing with the God of Blood should be almost guaranteed.
As for Dean McKenzie?
He¡¯s just an inconsequential six-turn necromancer. He might be a bit skilled and have some foundation, butpared to all of us who are above eight-turn, would dealing with him not be easy?
However, to be on the safe side, bring along that thing which restrains his summons.
When it¡¯s no longer needed, pull out his teeth. Without teeth, a cat is worse than a rat!
Then, Leo, you will take care of him!¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
The only seven-turn epic level being in the room nodded heavily, epting the task. Then, upon giving it a more careful thought, something felt off.
What does a toothless cat being worse than a rat mean?
What the¡ Are they implying that Dean McKenzie is a cat and that he is just a rat? Do they think he can only beat Dean McKenzie when his teeth are pulled out?
Leo was very displeased with this, but he was the youngest one in the room.
He didn¡¯t dare to say anything but held onto that energy, prepared to prove himself when the timees.
Meanwhile, as they were having the meeting, on the other side, Dean McKenzie, who had returned to the Land of Bone, stood before the Bone Tomb. The attributes of the upgraded Bone Tomb appeared before his eyes¡
Chapter 395: 224 New skill, Bone Summoning
Chapter 395: 224 New skill, Bone Summoning
Name: Bone Tomb
Building level: Advanced (1 star)
Effect: Upon entering the Tomb, you will be embraced by the darkness, and within it you will find peace of mind. Your affinity with darkness will be elevated, and your learning efficiency for the Dark System skills will be increased by fifteen hundred percent.
Furthermore, you will be able to enter the Death Epiphany (lie into the coffin and experience the oppression of the death. If you endure the oppression, your skills will be enhanced).
First Level Death Oppression Slot: 1
Second Level Death Oppression Slot: 2
Third Level Death Oppression Slot: 18
PS: You can use it for free once a month.
Other uses incur a cost in gold coins.
The initial cost is one million gold coins. After each use, the cost of the next use increases by a hundred percent.
The initial cost is refreshed every 30 days
¡
In essence, the Bone Tomb didn¡¯t differ greatly from before in terms of attributes. But after leveling up, the Tomb holds significant meaning for Dean McKenzie.
His ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± ability can be directly enhanced.
Not only Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡°Summon Skeleton,¡± but also the sublimation skills of the dogs under hismand could be further enhanced.
As such, Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity, filling all the slots, and then initiated ¡°Death Epiphany.¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± is only on level 5. A single use of ¡°Death Epiphany¡± is definitely not going to max it out.
But that¡¯s not a problem. Dean McKenzie is rich!
Before entering the instance, Dean McKenzie already possessed 15.7 million gold coins.
Uponpletion of the instance, his wealth had increased to an incredible degree.
After all, he¡¯s the one who took over the City of Holy Light.
Though Dean McKenzie had blown most of the wealth of the City of Holy Light to smithereens with a Corpse Explosion, when he conquered the Holy Light Kingdom, the amount of wealth he acquired was still substantial.
After leaving some of this fortune for the Strong Grass¡¯s development, the amount he brought with him amounted to 100 million gold coins.
Starting from a million, Dean McKenzie could definitely use it several times.
A million, two million, four million, eight million, sixteen million!
In a snap, Dean McKenzie had spent more than 31 million gold coins.
And the more he spent, the more addictive it became!
That is because Dean McKenzie recognized the chant effect of the Bone Tomb.
The more money he spent, the stronger the effect of restarting the Death Epiphany.
Indeed, money is a formidable power in any world!
And so, for the sixth time, Dean McKenzie put down his money, exceeding the total of all previous times with a total of 32 million gold!
[You spent 32 million gold coins and activated the Death Epiphany again!]
[Your skill ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± and ¡°Bone Summoning¡± have been upgraded to max level!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Eight) skill ¡°Forced Decapitation¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 7, ¡°Strong Stealth¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 7!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Seven) skill ¡°Fearless Charge¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 7, ¡°Final Strike¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 7!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) skill ¡°Guardians Shield¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 8, ¡°Absolute Defense¡± (Enhanced for the third time) upgraded to level 7!]
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Nine) skill ¡°Death Arrow¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 7, ¡°Rain of Ice Arrows¡± (Sublimation) upgraded to level 7!]
¡
The skills of Dean McKenzie himself and those of his dogs have undergone a considerable improvement.
Of course, the improvements to the skills of Doggy Eight and the others were just minorpared to that of Dean McKenzie with ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± and ¡°Bone Summoning¡±.
With both of these skills maxed out, Dean McKenzie can finally use the Skill Fusion Scroll he had hoarded for years.
[You have used the item ¡°Essential Skill Fusion Scroll.¡± Your skills ¡°Summon Skeleton¡± and ¡°Bone Summoning¡± have merged!]
[You acquired a new skill ¡°Bone Summoning¡±!]
¡
Skill: Bone Summoning (Origin)
Skill Level: Level 1
Skill Cost: 100 million Mana
Effect: Summon a 161-level bone wraith creature.
When using a temte to summon, the quality of the creature being summoned will be one level higher than the temte (up to an epic level).
Maximum number of skeletons that can exist at the same time: 121/500
Trait: Bone Sublimation (Origin) (Details omitted)
Bone Rebirth (Origin) (Details omitted)
¡
As Dean McKenzie¡¯s skills fused, the levels of all the skeletons under hismand soared to level 160.
They couldn¡¯t reach level 161 due to the fact that Dean McKenzie hadn¡¯t made his Seven-turn yet, but their current level was already surprisingly high.
The levels are just one aspect of this fusion skill¡¯s power.
Apart from the levels, the most significant improvement was the maximum number of skeletons that could exist at once increased to 500, and the second passive effect, when using a temte to summon, the quality of the creature being summoned was higher than the temte¡¯s level.
The former is linked to the ¡°Undying¡± trait of controlling skeletons.
Meaning that, unless killed by a power above epic level, these 500 skeletons won¡¯t die.
Thetter is even more terrifying, directly improving the quality level by one. Although there¡¯s a cap, this is still quite a strong feature.
As Dean McKenzie reviewed the effects, he immediately remembered that he still had a batch of bone dragon temtes on hold.
Without wasting any more time, he took out this batch of 333 rare bone dragon temtes.
[Using the ¡°Fragile Bone Dragon Temte¡± for Bone Summoning, you sessfully summoned a ¡°Common Bone Dragon¡±!]
A system prompt resided.
Chapter 396: 224 New skill, Bone Summoning_2
Chapter 396: 224 New skill, Bone Summoning_2
333 majestic skeletal dragons, each over 10 meters tall, shrouded in ghastly white mes, made their grand entrance.
At the same time, the attributes of these skeletal dragons appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
¡
Name: Common Skeletal Dragon
Level: 160
Quality: Perfect
Description: Perfect quality skeletal dragons, though theirbat power may seem worthless in your eyes, their presence is undoubtedly unparalleled when showing off!
¡
Dean McKenzie certainly agreed with this and wasted no time in giving the shout.
¡°Old Six, Old Six, quickly bring out my coffin.
What good is a Nine-Dragons Pulling Coffin?
I want to create a Hundred-Dragons Pulling Pce!¡±
After much persuasion, Dean McKenzie finally convinced Old Six to put down the Book of Architecture and quickly construct a magnificent and domineering pce for him.
It didn¡¯t matter if this pce had attributes or not, whether it was strong or not, the important thing was that it had to be handsome, ridiculously handsome!
Before, hecked the power. Now that he has it, Dean McKenzie definitely had to consider showing off.
Just imagine the stunning sight of this magnificent pce being pulled by hundreds of skeleton dragons!
¡
On one side, Dean McKenzie was busy preparing to show off.
On the other side, whether it was Donald Morgan, the Dawn Organization or the high-level members of the Alliance, everyone was kept busy.
All were making preparations for the uing ughter God ceremony.
First of all, on Donald Morgan¡¯s side, setting up such a grand ceremony required a lot of preparation.
A huge venue.
Participants needed for the ceremony and mobilization of the Bloody Church¡¯s Pope.
All these were considerable problems.
However, since Donald Morgan has bragged about being able toplete the preparations within three days, he must haveplete confidence.
In fact, the Bloody Church had been infiltrated by the Dawn Organization the most.
The entire church may not have been infiltrated by the Dawn Organization, but at least, Donald Morgan had a certain degree of control.
Moreover, the Alliance was also pushing the effort behind the scenes, and a mere Pope of the Bloody Church couldn¡¯t resist it at all.
Donald Morgan effortlessly took control of him.
Once all the preparations were quickly in ce, Donald Morgan contacted Dean McKenzie.
At the same time, the people on the Alliance¡¯s side also got excited.
Next to the ceremony, eight senior-tier members of the Church of Holy Light within the Alliance were quietly waiting for Dean McKenzie¡¯s reward.
¡°Has Dean McKenzie arrived?¡±
On the Alliance side, the Deputy President of the General Assembly and the head figure of the Holy Light Assembly, Paul Hopperton, asked the people next to him.
¡°He¡¯s here!¡±
Next to Paul Hopperton was his younger brother Mark Hopperton, who was in charge of the Alliance¡¯s intelligence management work.
Looking at the intelligence report handed over, he lifted his eyebrows: ¡°However, ording to the information we received, his extravagant procession is sorge, causing a sensation wherever he passes!¡±
Hearing this, everyoneughed.
¡°What causing a sensation wherever he goes? How extravagant could his procession be?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t tell me, he brought out the Wraith Army?¡±
¡°No, even more exaggerated!¡±
¡°More exaggerated? To what extent can this kid¡ Holy shit!¡±
A member of the Alliance had not finished his sentence when his face suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at the southern horizon.
As he turned his head, boundless dark clouds appeared across the horizon apanied by a chilly wind.
Clearing the way for the cold wind and the dark clouds were countless Seven-turn skeletons of excellent quality.
There were at least ten thousand of them!
Seeing this number of skeletons, everyone¡¯s face changed.
Even the people of the Alliance who had over-estimated Dean McKenzie¡¯s strength were taken aback by this disy.
And soon, they discovered that the tens of thousands of excellent seven-turn skeletons were just the beginning.
Following behind these excellent seven-turn skeletons were thousands of rare-quality seven-turn skeletons.
Following the thousands of rare seven-turn skeletons were perfect quality, incrediblyrge skeleton giants walking on the dark clouds, numbering at least nearly a thousand.
The mere spectacle, the strength Dean McKenzie disyed at this moment was terrifyingly immense.
And it wasn¡¯t over yet. At the same time as the alliance members were shocked by Dean McKenzie¡¯s performance¡
¡°Roar!¡±
Roars which seemed toe directly from hell echoed.
¡°Explosion!¡±
The roar blew away the dark clouds on both sides, revealing the entity at the back of the procession. Hundreds of grandiose bone dragons were pulling a massive, magnificent pce in mid-air.
At the moment the bone dragons appeared, Dean McKenzie¡¯s opening act reached its climax.
Tens of thousands of skeletons stopped simultaneously.
The weapons in their hands came to an abrupt halt, and a uniform roar echoed through the earth and the heavens.
For a moment, the spirit of the world was wholly plundered by Dean McKenzie¡¯s undead army.
The Alliance members hiding in the dark, prepared to be opportunistic, were stunned.
Leo, in particr, who was eager to take down Dean McKenzie to prove himself, had turned pale as paper.
He may be a little arrogant, but he isn¡¯t stupid. How could he possiblypete with such a formidable entity?
¡°It seems this man has sensed our prying eyes!¡±
Bearing witness to this spectacle, Paul Hopperton, the Deputy President of the Alliance, changed his attitude towards Dean McKenzie and started referring to him with reverence as ¡®this man¡¯ instead of ¡®Dean McKenzie¡¯.
This was the respect Dean McKenzie¡¯s disy and strength had earned him.
¡°He¡¯s put on such a huge disy. It¡¯s clear he¡¯s sensed our prying eyes and knew that someone might want to be the opportunist in this dragon ying event, so he started with this show!¡±
¡°He¡¯s disying his strength to us, telling us through his power that not everyone can be that opportunist!¡±
¡
Having guessed Dean McKenzie¡¯s intentions, all members of the alliance fell silent.
They had to admit, they were indeed scared by Dean McKenzie¡¯s spectacle.
But being scared is one thing, whether they would fight back is another matter.
They won¡¯t fight back!
After all, this matter concerns the ughter of God and the Divine Attribute. With the chance to attain eternity within reach, who would willingly give it up?
Moreover, when Dean McKenzie put on this spectacle, the members of the Alliance were not only shocked but also pleasantly surprised beneath it all.
After all, the stronger Dean McKenzie is, the higher the probability of him sessfully ughtering the God.
However, with Dean McKenzie being so strong, in the end, it wouldn¡¯t just be Leo dealing with Dean McKenzie.
All eyes turned towards Paul Hopperton.
To this, Paul Hopperton was extremely calm: ¡°Rest assured, I will make a move!¡±
With this assurance from Paul Hopperton, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, on the other side, high above in the air, atop the pce, sitting in the Bone Throne borrowed from Doggy Two, Dean McKenzie looked down at the blood-red battlefield prepared below. He picked up themunication to talk to Donald Morgan.
¡°I am here!¡±
¡°I¡ I see!¡±
Donald Morgan¡¯s choked voice came from the other end.
Clearly, he too was startled by Dean McKenzie¡¯s disy. As he watched the terrifying Skeleton Legion above his head, Donald Morgan couldn¡¯t help but whisper: ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little overdone to make such a racket? What if the Alliance tries to interfere?¡±
Dean McKenzie smirked: ¡°Why would you think the Alliance needs such a spectacle from me to notice?¡±
¡°You¡¯re saying the Alliance has known from the beginning?¡±
Donald Morgan got slightly flustered: ¡°Then what shall we do?
Shall we give up? It was already tough enough to contend with a Bloody God, let alone the prying eyes of the Alliance behind us, this is very¡..¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am here, when the timees, I will make my move!¡±
Dean McKenzie confidently interrupted Donald Morgan¡¯s words.
Hearing Dean McKenzie¡¯s words filled with confidence, Donald Morgan wasn¡¯t as assured.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t trust Dean McKenzie, but that Dean McKenzie was only at Six-turn, there wasn¡¯t any room for faith.
But given the current situation, Donald Morgan had no other choice.
Under Dean McKenzie¡¯s insistence, he could only initiate this grand ceremony.
Shortly thereafter, Dean McKenzie, who was seated high above in the sky, saw a blood pir bursting upwards from the crimson field below. The Bloody God had taken the stage¡..
Chapter 397: 225 Battles the Bloody God
Chapter 397: 225 Battles the Bloody God
Alliance, the Bloody Church¡¯s outpost.
Apanied by a massive explosion, a blood-red beam of light surged into the sky, the Blood God made his dazzling appearance.
The very moment he emerged,
in a radius of hundreds of miles, the sky turned blood-red.
Everyone within this region could clearly feel their own blood boiling with fear.
Including the eight members of the Alliance, everyone present turned deathly pale.
¡°Is this a god?¡±
¡°Just an avatar, or even just a projection, is so terrifying!¡±
¡°Even if he is only a seven-turn, we all put together, I¡¯m afraid we may not be able to fight him!¡±
¡°Can such a being truly be killed?¡±
At this moment, the eight members of the Alliance lost their confidence in this mission.
This was normal, as they were inherently good at surrendering.
Greed for life and fear of death, forsaking righteousness for profit, they were destined to only fight the wind. Once there was any headwind, they would kneel faster than anyone else.
Compared to them, Donald Morgan, who was currently next to the Blood God, withstanding the greatest pressure, seemed tough.
Although deterred by the spectacle of the Blood God¡¯s arrival, he persistently looked in the direction of the Blood God without backing down.
His performance attracted the attention of the Blood God.
The blood-red light beam gradually dissipated, and a young man d in blood-red armor, holding a blood-red scythe, with blood-red hair appeared in front of Donald Morgan.
¡°Was the ritual initiated by you?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Donald Morgan nodded heavily.
The Blood God nced around: ¡°You didn¡¯t prepare a sacrifice?¡±
¡°I did!¡±
Donald Morgan looked at the Blood God, uttering each word, ¡°Either you will be the sacrifice, or I will be!¡±
As soon as Donald Morgan said this, endless blood behind the Blood God lit up, and a terrifying aura erupted instantly.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, all existing blood was in turmoil.
The eight members of the Alliance turned pale.
¡°How dare he?
How dare he speak to a god like that?¡±
¡°It¡¯s over, the god is enraged, he is dead for sure!¡±
¡°What should we do? Run?¡±
While the Alliance side was hesitating and anxious, on the other hand, faced with the pressure of the Blood God, Donald Morgan steadfastly held himself straight: ¡°This ritual itself is mutual, you can be the god who harvests the sacrifice, but you can also be a sacrifice!¡±
Looking at Donald Morgan¡¯s audacity, the Blood God wasn¡¯t surprisingly angry, he was just a little disappointed: ¡°Not bad, I admire your courage, but courage is all you have, your strength cannot make me your sacrifice!¡±
¡°Because, from the very beginning, he wasn¡¯t your opponent!¡±
The voice of Dean Mackenzie echoed from the sky.
Hearing this, the Blood God raised his head and had a long-distance staring contest with Dean Mackenzie.
The moment their eyes met, Dean Mackenzie could clearly feel the Blood God waspletely excited.
¡°The aura of a godyer, are you my opponent?¡±
¡°Yes, correct, your opponent is me!
Let¡¯s get started!¡±
While sitting on the Bone Throne, Dean Mackenzie snapped his fingers.
¡°Boom!¡±
In an instant, the greyish power of death spread out, directly confronting the blood in the sky.
But it was clear that in this confrontation, Dean Mackenzie was at aplete disadvantage.
Under the opponent¡¯s pressure, Dean Mackenzie¡¯s Wraith Paradise could not expand beyond the Wraith Army.
And for this, Dean Mackenzie¡¯s response was simple. Since he couldn¡¯t expand beyond the Wraith Army, let the Wraith Army charge forward.
¡°Charge!¡±
At Dean Mackenzie¡¯smand, the Wraith Army charged towards the Blood God.
And watching Dean Mackenzie¡¯s Wraith Army charging towards him, every pore on the Blood God seemed to be excited. With the blood-colored scythe in his hand stood ready, a battle has thus erupted!
In fact, in terms of attributes, the Blood God was at some disadvantage against Dean Mackenzie¡¯s Wraith Army.
After all, Dean Mackenzie¡¯s Wraith Army consisted entirely of skeletons, without a drop of blood.
Without blood, many of the Blood God¡¯s skills were unusable.
However, even so, when he shed with Dean Mackenzie¡¯s elite Army of Wraiths of Excellent Quality at Level 160, the also Level 141 Blood God was extremely dominant.
The blood-colored scythe swung, all the skeletons in his way were in!
The advance was unstoppable!
It was as if in front of him, there were not the Level 160 skeletons of Excellent Quality that were enhanced by Dean Mackenzie¡¯s Wraith Paradise, but wild grass instead.
It was as if he was mowing thewn.
While he was unstoppable, the attributes of the Blood God appeared in front of Dean Mackenzie.
¡
Name: Projection of the Blood God
Quality: Demigod
Level: 141
Trait: Demigod Power (SSS) (Each attribute point can be used as 500 points and carries the effect of a demigod)
Blood Power (SSS) (Can control the blood of itself and the enemies in battle)
Equipment: Blood Set (Dark Gold) (Level 141), Blood Scythe (Level 141)
¡
A very simple attribute.
But behind this seemingly simple attribute lies an unimaginable terrifying power.
The power burst out with every move was too powerful for any ordinary skeleton to withstand.
So, quickly, Dean Mackenzie¡¯s elites took action!
A perfect quality skeleton assassin appeared behind the Blood God, the dagger in its hand stabbed towards the kidney of the Blood God.
Chapter 398: 225 Battles the Bloody God_2
Chapter 398: 225 Battles the Bloody God_2
¡°Swoosh!¡±
Just as the dagger protrudes, a bloody scythe splits it in half.
With a sh of bloody light, the assassin who had been split in half crumbles to pieces.
The assassin¡¯s death was within Dean McKenzie¡¯s expectations; it was merely his test subject. As the assassin died, Dean thrust his hand up, testing out the ¡°Undying¡± trait of his ¡°Control Skeleton¡± ability.
Dean discovered, a killed skeleton could be resurrected, but it would take a little longer, about two-three days!
This oue eased Dean¡¯s fears.
¡°It appears that even though the Undying trait is a grade lower in quality than the enemy¡¯s trait, it doesn¡¯t mean that a higher grade can directly negate the Undying trait.
Specially designed traits that target destroying Undying are required for this.¡± Dean spected.
Thus, Dean couldfortably unleash Doggy Two and the others.
¡°Ding!¡±
The havoc-wreaking God of Bloodshed, who seemed unstoppable, suddenly stopped in his tracks when his bloody scythe struck a skeleton. Meanwhile, the skeleton defense phenomenally skyrocketed to an unbelievable level.
Then, an arrow appeared directly in the heart of the God of Bloodshed.
Old Nine hadunched the lethalbo of his signature moves: God¡¯s Arrow, Death Arrow, Lucky Crossbow, and Absolute Hit!
Luck was on his side with this arrow, which dealt a staggering 1200-times damage.
Within a blink, there was a massive explosion, and a surrounding radius of hundreds of meters instantly cleared out. Dean¡¯s unfortunate skeletons within range were obliterated as well.
But even after enduring such a wave of damage, the God of Bloodshed unbelievably fell without dying.
He not only survived but his wounds began rapidly healing in an astonishingly short period.
However, before he could recover half of his health.
A divine light shrouded in ck appeared from below, and lunged straight in front of him, delivering a quick final strike, instantly impaling him with a spear.
The God of Bloodshed was nearly split in half.
The attacks from Dean¡¯s side hadn¡¯t ended; Old Eight¡¯s figure appeared behind him, executing Forced Decapitation.
The dagger made a revolution around the God of Bloodshed¡¯s neck, cleanly decapitating him.
All these attacks happened within a three-second window.
The previously awe-inspiring God of Bloodshed, who was breaking through all defenses, was quickly cut down into pieces.
This explosive barrage had left the entire Alliance dumbfounded.
Each one of them was terrified!
Every one of the fourbatants Dean had just unleashed was horrendously powerful.
Even their strongest, Paul Hopperton, didn¡¯t feel confident about retreating unharmed against these four.
Especially the one who shot the lethal arrow that pierced the God of Bloodshed.
That arrow was without a counter. It couldn¡¯t be dodged or blocked, and was devastatingly powerful¡ªan insurmountable force!
The assassin and the knight who were left, also struck with astonishing ferocity.
Without overstatement, Dean had just shown a lineup strong enough to give the Alliance a reality check. They wouldn¡¯t dare to confront Dean directly.
And considering that Dean¡¯s true strength had much more depth.
After all, during thest time, Doggy Two had made a move¡ªthey knew Dean was still holding back some burst damage.
Seeing Dean achieve such an advantage through this barrage, some in the Alliance couldn¡¯t help but worry.
Would this God of Bloodshed fall so easily to Dean?
If the God of Bloodshed falls this easily, they wouldn¡¯t dare to covet the spoils.
¡°Should we intervene and assist the God of Bloodshed?¡±
Just when the Alliance was contemting, the beheaded body of the God of Bloodshed on the battlefield suddenly turned into a blood ray. The blood merged, and the God of Bloodshed was instantaneously resurrected with full health.
However, at the same time as his resurrection, the color of his armor and the blood color in the sky had dimmed somewhat.
Apparently, his full revival had some sort of cost.
But at the moment, that was of little importance; the imperative part was that the God of Bloodshed was rejuvenated.
With his face gleaming with excitement, the revived God of Bloodshed looked up at the sky, and eyed Dean.
¡°Impressive, you are an erger. You are a six-turner with such power, which shows that you undoubtedly have the potential to achieve eternity.
Let me formally introduce myself.
God of Bloodshed¡ªBlood!¡±
Dean¡¯s eyes narrowed, ¡°Necromancer¨CDean!¡±
¡°Dean, is it? I am thrilled to meet such a worthy opponent. Watch out, I am going all-out now!¡±
The God of Bloodshed¡¯s bloody scythe glowed as he spoke, and his body radiated a terrifying bloody light.
¡°This sword move, named ¡®Finale of the Blood Red Moonlight¡¯, is a mystic art I gained from enlightening and elevating from Blood Light sh when I reached the seventh turn. I haven¡¯t used it in a long time, why don¡¯t you try it out?¡±
While speaking, the God of Bloodshed slowly brandished his scythe towards Dean McKenzie¡¯s direction.
The moment the scythe swung, the whole heaven and earth dramatically darkened.
So dim it was like you couldn¡¯t see your fingers in front of you.
The next second, a blood-colored, soft moonlight lit up.
¡°Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!¡±
Under the endless illumination of the blood-colored moonlight, the crisp sound of breaking bones echoed.
When the moonlight dissipated and the colors of heaven and earth returned,
Everyone eagerly raised their heads towards the sky, in that instant, everyone took in a gasp of cold air.
They saw in mid-air, Dean McKenzie¡¯s previously massive Wraith Army had transformed into a rain of bones falling from the sky.
Just with one strike, it eradicated tens, and even hundreds of thousands of seven-turn spirit armies.
The horrifying strength of the God of Bloodshed was on full disy.
Under the blow of the God of Bloodshed, the only remaining thing on Dean McKenzie¡¯s side was Doggy Two.
The rest had already turned into fragments.
The previously hidden Old Nine and others were suddenly exposed.
One must say, that move was indeed terrifying, even Dean McKenzie himself was somewhat startled.
¡°This, this is the power of a god?¡±
¡°Indeed, gods truly are unbeatable beings!¡±
¡°Dean McKenzie is down to a single skeleton, looks like it¡¯s impossible for him to achieve the feat of ying a god!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s withdraw, if we don¡¯t leave now we might not leave alive.¡±
While the alliance members were shocked and panicked, on the other side, the God of Bloodshed sighed slightly while looking at the bones falling down all over the ground.
¡°It¡¯s a pity, a pity that youmand a Skeleton Legion, otherwise, after my strike kills, I could recover some spiritual power and physical strength.
That way, the following battle might be a bit easier.¡±
¡°I have no choice, I¡¯m a necromancer. You surely don¡¯t want me to summon a human army?
I¡¯m forced to take this advantage!¡±
The God of Bloodshed shook his head, his eyes focused on Doggy Two next to Dean McKenzie, his eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation: ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as taking advantage in a battle,e on!¡±
¡°Doggy Two!¡±
Dean McKenzie softly called out, at the same time, he stepped down from his throne.
The next second, Doggy Two directly initiated ¡°Bone Eruption!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
An intimidating aura burst forth from Doggy Two, meanwhile, in front of Dean McKenzie, Doggy Two¡¯s new attributes appeared after upgrading to Epic.
¡
Name: King of Dragon Bone Skeletons (Doggy Two)
Level: 160
Temte: Epic
Lord Trait: King of Bones (SS Level) (passively increases the base attributes of all skeletons under hismand by 500%,
at the same time, for every 1 skeleton sacrificed, base attributes increase by 5%, up to 15,000%
Has a 100% deterrent effect on bone-rted creatures)
¡
Dragon Bone Body (SS) (Absorbed the bones of powerful dragon n beings, every level up increases all attributes by 10,000 points.
Attribute effect increases 250 times
Damage received from attacks is reduced by 75%, immune to 75% of magic damage
Can absorb dragon bones to enhance this trait)
¡
The God of Bloodshed¡¯sst strike just killed a lot of skeletons under Doggy Two, directly increasing Doggy Two¡¯s base attributes by 150 times.
If you add the activated Bone Eruption.
As well as the effect of Dragon Bone Body.
At this moment, Doggy Two¡¯s attributes exploded to an inconceivable degree.
Just his attributes alone, were already distorting the space around him and making it creak, even making the God of Bloodshed across from him struggling to raise his head.
Seeing Doggy Two¡¯s outbreak, the faces of the eight members of the Alliance drastically changed, only then did they realize what kind of existence they had set their eyes on.
This was an absolute powerhouse on par with a god!
Chapter 399: 226 Killing
Chapter 399: 226 Killing
Above the gray sky, Doggy Two looked down at the Blood God below him.
The two sides only eyed each other for a moment and the battle was about tomence!
¡°Ding!¡±
Strong as the eight-person alliance was, they couldn¡¯t see how Doggy Two and the Blood God collided. The sound of collisions was already heard, and a figure was smashed and sent flying.
The eight members of the alliance took a closer look, and surprisingly it was the Blood God who had been sent flying.
Obviously, in the collision of absolute Strength, the Blood God was absolutely at a disadvantage.
Not only was he smashed and sent flying, but his body also exploded into a mist of blood at the exact same time.
Doggy Two, gaining the upper hand with just one strike, firmly seized the opportunity.
The Dragon Bone Sword in his hand shed out again, taking advantage of the Blood God¡¯s weakness.
¡°Puff!¡±
The Blood God was sted again.
But the sted Blood God had also started to counterattack, turning into fresh blood to cover Doggy Two¡¯s skeleton.
The next second, the body of the Blood God condensed within Doggy Two¡¯s skeleton, and the scythe in his hand was aimed directly at Doggy Two¡¯s forehead.
Before the scythe could fall, Doggy Two¡¯s ¡°Bone Throne¡± erupted.
The Blood God paused in motion, countered grabbing the Blood God, inserting his long sword directly into the foe¡¯s chest.
¡°Puff¡± The Blood God was sted yet again.
From the course of the battle, ites to light that due to a big difference between the two in Attribute points, the Blood God was in apletely suppressed state by Doggy Two.
But after all, the Blood God was still a god.
Even in a situation where the gap in Attribute points between the two is at least ten times, he was still fighting back and forth with Doggy Two thanks to his rich experience.
Although he was at a disadvantage, he always retained the ability to counterattack.
And moreover, as the fight between the two became longer and longer, the Blood God became more and more familiar with Doggy Two¡¯sbat style and rhythm, and was gradually turning the tables.
If this trend continues, the chances of victory for Doggy Two be increasingly slim.
Doggy Two, realizing this, gave up confronting with the Blood God, stabilized his footing, and raised the Dragon Bone Sword in his hand.
This pose was a clear indication the Blood God understood that Doggy Two was ready for something.
He wasn¡¯t going to give him any chance and he was going to end it in one blow, pulling out his ultimate move to take him away!
There were two options facing the Blood God in this situation.
Either dodge it, or face it head on.
As a deity, the Blood God had his own dignity.
Even facing an opponent whose Attribute points are ten times or even dozens of times stronger than him, the Blood God would not retreat.
Did Doggy Two want to get away with him in one hit?
Good, he had the exact same idea.
So, facing Doggy Two ready to strike, the Blood God holding a blood-colored scythe slightly retreated, crouched slightly, his eyes revealing circr blood-colored lines, staring at Doggy Two intently.
At the same time his Strength was flowing within him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Finally, Doggy Two made his move.
With a single stroke, the Explosive Bone Power and the Destruction Heavy Strike, the Bone Throne and the Strength of the Dragon Bone Sword in his hand all exploded together.
At this moment, Doggy Two had practically brought all the Strength he could muster into y, and his longsword was falling upon the Blood God.
A sword attack that was hundreds of meters long descended in an instant.
The moment the sword fell, the earth shook as if a rift had been torn open under Doggy Two¡¯s sword. The terrifying aura made the people within a hundred miles gasp for breath.
The faces of the eight-person alliance were pale beyondparison.
They knew very well that if this sword were to fall on them, none of the people in their ranks, no, not even all the people together, could withstand this one sword.
Fortunately, they didn¡¯t need to block this sword.
At the same moment Doggy Two¡¯s sword fell, the Blood God also made his move.
His figure shed and instantly turned into a streak of bloody light.
¡°Mystical Art ¨C Blood Kill!¡±
The cold voice rang out, the dazzling bloody light shone instantly. Within this dazzling bloody light, the hundreds of meters long sword strike exploded by Doggy Two inched apart into fragments.
It wasn¡¯t until the sword energypletely disintegrated, that Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Sword collided with the scythe in the Blood God¡¯s hand.
At this point, the Blood God who originally couldn¡¯t match Doggy Two in a mere collision of Strength held on.
They were both stuck in a stalemate.
But it was apparent that the standoff was extremely draining and hard for both sides.
The most intuitive proof was that the Bone Throne behind Doggy Two and the Dragon Bone Sword in his hands gradually dimmed.
Simrly, the light on the Blood God began to fade out bit by bit.
Were both sides evenly matched?
Seeing this scene, the eight-person alliance¡¯s eyes lit up.
The events unfolding before their eyes were exactly what they wanted to see the most.
The strength of Dean McKenzie took them by surprise. If both sides could ughter each other in a stalemate, it would be good news for them. They could take advantage of it!
However, things didn¡¯tpletely unfold as they expected.
Just as the eight-person alliance thought that both sides would be stuck in a stalemate, the Blood God suddenly loosened the grip on his scythe, and Doggy Two¡¯s Dragon Bone Sword fell fiercely.
¡°Puff¡±, the Blood God was cut into two half!
Did Dean McKenzie win?
The eight-person alliance was stunned for a moment, and in the next moment, the Blood God, whose blood was cut open and cut into two pieces, turned into a bloody light, rushing straight towards Dean McKenzie.
Chapter 400: 226 Killing_2
Chapter 400: 226 Killing_2
¡°Not good, his target is Dean McKenzie!¡±
¡°Yes, Dean McKenzie is a Necromancer. If he falls, the battle is over!¡±
¡°No, we can¡¯t let him kill Dean McKenzie. If Dean McKenzie dies, the battle ends. We won¡¯t be eligible to participate in this battle!¡±
¡°Use that thing!¡±
¡°Yeah!¡±
The eight members of the alliance nced at each other. An eye-catching, divine scroll appeared in the hand of the vice-president Paul Hopperton.
As the scroll was unfolded, a system prompt was updated before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
¡°Paul Hopperton used the item ¡®Holy Light¡¯s Protection¡¯ on you!¡±
¡°What the hell?¡±
Dean McKenzie looked baffled as a strong holy light suddenly surrounded him before he could understand what was happening.
Then, the long knife of the Bloody God, which was poised to strike him, was then caught in the holy light.
Both Dean McKenzie and the Bloody God were stunned at this sudden appearance of the holy light.
At the same time, both men turned their eyes to the eight members of the alliance.
Looking at the eight people, Dean McKenzie and the Bloody God inevitably appeared somewhat meaningful.
¡°Do they know what they are doing?¡±
¡°I think they probably know half of it.¡±
Meanwhile, Doggy Two, wielding the Bone Dragon Sword, struck the Bloody God¡¯s head with full force.
The Bloody God wore a sarcastic smile: ¡°I wanted to test my power against you. Seems like there isn¡¯t a chance this time. I look forward to the next encounter!¡±
The next second, Doggy Two¡¯s long de shed across the back of the Bloody God¡¯s head.
Dean McKenzie immediately tagged himself with the title ¡®God yer¡¯.
The moment the title was tagged, Doggy Two¡¯s long de shattered the Bloody God¡¯s head.
¡°Puff!¡±
The Bloody God exploded directly under this sword.
Five incredibly bright points of light burst from his body.
At the same time, the remaining blood streamed into Donald Morgan¡¯s body.
In front of Dean McKenzie, the system prompts were updated again.
¡°You sessfully killed the ¡®Projection of the Bloody God¡¯, your title ¡®God yer¡¯ advances by 1!¡±
¡°You sessfully killed the ¡®Shadow of the Bloody God¡¯, you received a God yer Treasure Chest!¡±
¡°You have attracted the attention of the ¡®Bloody God¡¯!¡±
¡
Meanwhile, Donald Morgan, his level rose from 140 to 141 amidst the dazzling blood light. His temte also transformed, abruptly upgrading to Epic Quality.
A prompt also appeared on his system.
¡°You¡¯ve received the Bloody God¡¯s power gift, your attributes have increased 30 times!¡±
¡°The Bloody God has marked you. As one who has received his power gift, you will be unable to deny him the use of your body.¡±
All so-called giftse at a price.
Donald Morgan, as he gained great power, also had his body marked by the Bloody God and turned into what he desired.
Meanwhile, over by the eight members of the alliance, they wanted to rush out the moment when the Bloody God was killed.
They had seen the five extremely bright points of light that burst from the Bloody God.
They were certain that there must be something divine within those light points.
Dean McKenzie, however, was in the middle of a ceremony and they couldn¡¯t interfere until the ceremony waspletely over. They could only prepare on the side waiting for the ceremony to conclude.
Of course, Dean McKenzie knew there were eight restless people outside, but he wasn¡¯t worried.
He did not so much as give them a nce and made use of this time to open the five light points one by one.
¡°You¡¯ve opened five light points and received a Phony God Weapon ¨C The Blood Weeping Dagger! You¡¯ve obtained 50 God¡¯s Gold Coins, ¡®Blood Heart¡¯, ¡®Blood Stone,¡¯ and a Skill Book for ¡®Blood Thirst¡¯!¡±

Divinity (Unknown Object)
¡
As Dean McKenzie examined the attributes of the items in front of him, he made a swift decision and used the Divine Artifact Core Fragment on the Boomstick of Corpse Explosion.
The de of Blood Weeping was given to Old Eight.
As for the Divinity, Dean didn¡¯t know how to use it yet.
Despite Old Nine having one, it hadn¡¯t been activated thus far.
Moreover, as Dean looked at the Divinity, he had a vague feeling of his spirit yearning for it.
But this desire was swiftly suppressed by overwhelming fear.
It seemed that his current strength was not enough to manipte the Divinity, and forcing himself to absorb it could easily cause problems, so he put it aside for now.
He then shifted his attention to the Blood Heart, Bloodstone and Bloodlust.
Looking at these three items, Dean began brainstorming quickly to figure out how best to utilize them.
After all, it would be criminal to waste materials of a demigod level.
¡°Don¡¯t I have a summoning skill for the Bloodstone Demon?
Could I use these materials andbine it with the summoning of the Bloodstone Demon to create a demigod level Bloodstone Demon?¡±
No sooner had this idea popped into his head than Dean began to put it into action to see if he could sessfully summon the demon.
It turns out he couldn¡¯t; the system prompted him that his Bloodstone Demon summoning level was too low.
Well, Dean had never used or leveled up this skill before, so it being at level 1 and incapable of this action was normal.
¡°It looks like I¡¯ll have to work on leveling up this skillter!¡±
¡°Crack!¡±
Just as Dean finished speaking, the force field covering the ritual site dissipated.
The eight-member alliance team emerged immediately, rushing straight for Dean.
They clearly aimed at seizing any potential Divinity that Dean might have obtained.
The eight members surrounded Dean instantly.
The leader, Paul Hopperton stepped forward: ¡°Mr. McKenzie, allow me to introduce myself. I am the vice president of the alliance, Paul Hopperton¡¡±
¡°Who you are doesn¡¯t matter to me!¡±
Dean interrupted Paul, looking at him with a calm, icy gaze: ¡°What¡¯s important is what you n to do.¡±
¡°Mr. McKenzie, please do not misunderstand. We do not mean any harm.
It was we who saved you from the blow of the Blood God just now. Therefore, your victory over the Blood God is partly due to our contribution!¡±
¡°So?¡±
¡°So, we hope to acquire a certain item!
You have already checked all the items that the Blood God dropped, it certainly included Divinity, right?¡±
Dean nced at him, but chose not to answer directly: ¡°And then?¡±
¡°This Divinity is crucial for the alliance and the entire world. I believe you are aware, Mr. McKenzie, of the great threat we face from beyond the Heavenly Abyss.
To put it simply, the Heavenly Abyss can barely contain them anymore and it won¡¯t be long before their world descends upon ours.
When that timees, their overpowering strength will instantly dominate the world. We, the people of this world, will be ves to theirs. We only desire the Divinity to alter this dire situation.¡±
On hearing this, Dean smirked with an expression of disdain: ¡°So in other words, you¡¯re acting for the good of the country and the people?¡±
Despite Dean¡¯s mocking tone, Paul responded earnestly with a vigorous nod of affirmation.
¡°Yes, so, I hope you could hand it over to us.¡±
¡°And if I refuse?¡±
¡°I would advise you against that!
We are showing you respect by negotiating with you, so you¡¯d better appreciate our goodwill!¡±
Chapter 401: 227 Cut vegetables and fruits
Chapter 401: 227 Cut vegetables and fruits
¡°What did you say?¡±
Staring at Paul Hopperton, who was gradually bing arrogant, Dean McKenzie was somewhat taken aback.
¡°I said, hand over your Divine Attribute. Immediately!¡±
Paul Hopperton, facing a surprised Dean, was no longer hiding. He demanded with a chilling face and an authoritative tone.
This time Dean heard him clearly.
He shook his head, seemingly helpless, ¡°What if I don¡¯t give it up?¡±
¡°Do you think you have that option? Look around!¡±
Dean was stunned and turned to survey his surroundings.
He noticed, the surroundings were engulfed in holy light at some point.
¡°We¡¯ve established a Holy Light Barrier here. You can¡¯t escape!¡±
Dean casually nced at the brightly shining Holy Light Barrier around him. He calmly stated, ¡°Fly? Why would I need to fly? Isn¡¯t it enough to just defeat all of you? Old Two!¡±
Seeing the other party¡¯s provocation, Dean grew tired of dealing with them.
With a wave of his hand, he was ready to dismiss them through Doggy Two.
However, his calling out to Old Two didn¡¯t elicit any response from Doggy Two.
Simultaneously, Dean noticed that the members of the Alliance group in front of him were sharing amused smiles.
Dean raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Doggy Two, only to realize that Doggy Two had somehow moved outside the Holy Light Barrier.
¡°I forgot to tell you, Mr. McKenzie, that our Holy Light Barrier specifically repels summoned creatures. Meaning, within this barrier, you are unable to use your summoned creatures¡¯ abilities.¡±
Dean finally understood why these individuals were so pompous. They held this card up their sleeve.
Dean¡¯s eyebrow shot up as he spoke icily, ¡°So you believe that I¡¯m useless without the Skeleton? Have you never thought about my strength not solely relying on the Skeleton?¡±
At this point, he was ready toy his cards on the table and show this group his real strength.
Yet they remained unconvinced.
Hearing Dean¡¯s words, the Alliance group chuckled, ¡°There¡¯s no need to bluff. Be honest with you, we don¡¯t think that even as a Six-turn, you can aplish much without the Skeleton.¡±
¡°Bluffing won¡¯t do you any good. Either way, we must reim the Divine Attribute today.¡±
¡°Either give up your Divine Attribute or die here. Choose one.¡±
Dean shook his head calmly, ¡°I choose neither.¡±
¡°Then you really are stubborn. Leo, he¡¯s all yours, without his summoned creatures, you should be able to handle him!¡±
Paul Hopperton directed his attention towards Leo, the only Seven-turn amongst them.
Leo furrowed his eyebrows, inwardly cursing these old foxes.
These cunning fellows talked big about their control over Dean. But in reality, they were just being cautious, afraid that Dean would reveal some hidden trump card.
They spent so long dawdling, and finally pushed him to take action.
Leo wasn¡¯t pleased about this, but he was at disadvantage with the least seniority among them.
Left with no choice, he stepped forward, looking at Dean arrogantly, ¡°Kid, I¡¯ll give you an opportunity. Give up the artifact now, and I¡¯ll let you live.¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly cut in, ¡°If you want toy a finger on him, you¡¯ll have to get through me first!¡±
The next moment, a light overflowing with blood hue appeared beside Dean. It was none other than Donald Morgan who had justpleted his Seven-turn and elevated to the Epic level.
¡°I swear to protect him. No one can touch him as long as I¡¯m here. Try me if you dare!¡±
As Donald spoke, there was a burst of energy within him. Behind him, the image of an endless sea of blood surged forward, its intimidating aura spreading across nearly a thousand meters.
Clearly, Donald had be much stronger after his breakthrough, many timespared to before.
At this moment, the only thing Donald felt was that he was invincible. The surging power within him was so potent that even the threat of the Alliance group did not intimidate him.
To him, the eight-member Alliance group was merely made up of disposable pawns.
¡°Dean, you helped me kill the Bloody God andplete the ritual. It wouldn¡¯t be right if I didn¡¯t return the favor. Let me take care of this little trouble for you!¡±
¡°Well, you actually don¡¯t have to¡¡±
Dean scratched his head and started to discourage his ally from being too rash. However, even before he finished his sentence, the transformed Donald,pletely immersed in his newfound omnipotent feeling, immediatelyunched his attack.
The charges were ferocious.
It was as fleeting as Guan Yu who intended to behead Hua Xiong with heated wine, as in the old saying, or as recklessly heroic as Zhao Yun, who made seven entries and exits in the Battle of Changban Slope, or as aggressive as the Western Chu overlord on the battlefield.
His only image projected strength and invincibility.
At this moment, Donald was confident that he could easily defeat the eight opponents from the other side single-handedly.
Until Dean covered his eyes.
¡°Ding!¡±
Donald, who was charging forward, hadn¡¯t managed to bring down his broadsword before it was stopped by a heavy, immense wave of holy light.
The powerful force from the holy light made Donald¡¯s heart tremble.
He realized that his invincible strength could not break through thisyer of thin holy light.
This was impossible. He was now a Seven-turn of Epic Temte, he had acquired the legacy strength of the Bloody God, it was unreasonable for him to be so weak!
¡°Seven-turn Epic? Who isn¡¯t!¡±
Leo sneered, lightly touched with his finger, and the holy light surged. The strong power surged towards Donald.
¡°Hold on!¡±
Donald let out a stern yell, unleashing the strength within him, trying to resist the force.
Chapter 402: 227 Cut fruits and vegetables_2
Chapter 402: 227 Cut fruits and vegetables_2
Despite Donald Morgan maxing out his strength, he could not withstand this force and was immediately sent flying.
¡°Holy Light Shackles!¡±
As soon as Donald Morgan was blown off, several holy lights appeared out of thin air, instantly forming shackles of light that held him captive.
Donald Morgan wanted to retaliate, to break free, but he was unable to shake off the shackles.
Leo looked at the restrained Donald Morgan and shook his head: ¡°You¡¯re really biting off more than you can chew. Don¡¯t you see where I am? Inside this Holy Light Barrier, my strength increases tenfold. You still want to fight me?
Wake up!¡±
With that, Leo waved his hand:
¡°Holy Light Judgment!¡±
A massive ray of holy light descended from the Holy Light Barrier, aiming straight for Donald Morgan¡¯s forehead.
At that moment, the overwhelming sense of loneliness within Donald Morgan was instantly crushed, reced by the immense pressure from the approaching holy light.
He couldn¡¯t resist, not at all.
Donald Morgan knew very clearly that he couldn¡¯t withstand this attack, he could only scream at Dean McKenzie to run.
This scene stunned Dean McKenziepletely.
This kid, he gave up way too easily.
Dean McKenzie seriously doubted whether this boy was aiming foric relief.
¡°Lucky he¡¯s not my minion, otherwise I would have gotten rid of him by now.¡±
As Dean McKenzie said this, he waved his hand, cloaking Donald Morgan in Bone Armor.
As soon as Dean McKenzie equipped the Bone Armor on Donald Morgan-
Everyone from Donald Morgan to the eight-member Alliance team was stunned.
They couldn¡¯t figure out why Dean McKenzie suddenly threw out a skill below the fifth-turn.
Did he honestly think his skill could withstand the seven-turn Epic level Holy Light? That holy light is ¡ ¡±
¡°Crack!¡±
A ttering sound of shattering echoed.
See, it broke, right?
Got to admit, the light bulbs from the shattered Holy Light were quite dazzling.
Wait, the Holy Light?
The eight-member Alliance team finally registered that when the seven-turn Epic level Holy Light collided with the skill that didn¡¯t even reach the fifth-turn level, the Holy Light was actually the one that shattered!
No way, what is that armor?
Before the Alliance team could react, Dean McKenzie casually waved his hand.
¡°Thump Thump Thump¡±
Eight Bone Spears were hurled towards the Eight-member Alliance team.
With the Bone Armor in y, none of them dared to take Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spears lightly at this moment.
They each pulled out their hidden reserves.
¡°Holy Light Sword!¡±
¡°Holy Light Barrier!¡±
¡°Absolute Defense!¡±
¡°Indomitable Wall!¡±
¡
At almost the same time, eight skills of seven-turn and eighth-turn or higher were burst out.
The Alliance team was pulling out all the stops to intercept Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spears, even treating it like using anti-aircraft guns to hit mosquitoes.
However, when the Bone Spearsnded, they realized they still underestimated Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Spears.
¡°Puff!¡±*6
Whether it¡¯s seven-turn level skills or eighth-turn level skills-
When faced with Bone Spears, the oue turned out to be the same.
The Bone Spears effortlessly pierced through the skills.
The Alliance team had eight members severely injured on the spot, but interestingly, none of them died.
These fellows, each carrying numerous trump cards,
Completely prepared, there was no way they could be caught off guard and killed instantly.
As soon as they were severely injured, they all took out various tools and prepared to flee without giving it a second thought.
¡°Hold on, it¡¯s not good to leave just like that, huh?
Everyone, stay here!¡±
Dean McKenzie casually threw out a Bone Fang, which split apart the next second, covering the eight men with a cloud of tiny Bone Fangs.
The Bone Fang cloud rained down, and every preparation the Alliance team had made was useless.
Immediately, five of them were killed.
Only the clever Leo and the Hopperton brothers managed to survive under the shield of Hopperton¡¯s defensive equipment.
But in the face of the relentless rain of Bone Fangs, they couldn¡¯t hold out much longer on their side either.
So, Paul Hopperton had no choice but to negotiate with Dean McKenzie.
¡°Mr. McKenzie, we admit we were in the wrong. Please let us go!¡±
¡°Now you realize your mistake? Sorry, but it¡¯s a little toote!¡±
¡°You¡¯re not nning to let us go, are you?
Dean, there¡¯s an old saying ¨C ¡®Spare others when you can.¡¯ I advise you not to go too far!¡±
¡°Oh, really?
Sorry, but I¡¯m the type to take things a little too far.¡±
Dean gathered another Bone Fang in his hand.
He was preparing to take them all down.
Once locked in a confrontation, Dean had never been one to spare his enemies.
Dean released the Bone Fang straight out.
The moment Dean released his Bone Fang, Paul Hopperton felt the imminent threat of death.
He knew that he was dead for sure under the onught of this Bone Fang. In his frenzy, he shouted, ¡°This is all your fault! If you won¡¯t let me go, then let the whole world be buried with me!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Before Paul could finish his sentence, Dean¡¯s Bone Fang had already made its mark on him.
A Bone Fangunched with the force of more than 500 million Divine Spirits was no joke. Paul was killed on the spot, and his brother, Mark Hopperton, was also pierced through and killed.
Among the three, only Leo managed to duck his head just in time to save his life.
Dean was about to take Leo along with him.
Just then, a bright and radiant holy light exploded from the dead body of Paul.
Inside the holy light, Dean heard the sound of a heart beating.
Soon after, two pairs of wings, glowing with holy light, spread open.
¡°Whoosh!¡±
The figure of a four-winged angel of holy light emerged from Paul¡¯s body.
Clearly, this was Paul¡¯sst ace in the hole before his death.
¡°sphemer!¡±
The moment the four-winged angel of holy light appeared, his eyes were tightly fixed on Dean.
At the same time, the attributes of this four-winged angel of holy light appeared before Dean.
¡
Name: Four-winged Angel of Holy Light transferred into a new body
Rank: Epic
Level: Level 180
¡
An angel of the Holy Light with four wings at level 180 was pretty simr to the dungeon boss they had fought earlier.
Back in the dungeon, Dean had to use the Staff of Endless Corpse Explosion to barely kill it after a strenuous battle.
Looking at the creature that just came out, Dean had only one thought.
Is that it?
This was the terrifying secret weapon that Paul Hopperton was talking about that would drag the entire world down with him?
At this level, Dean could easily defeat it without even using Corpse Explosion!
Almost instantly, the four-winged angel of holy light charged at Dean, its body exuding a powerful holy light, ready to obliterate Dean.
Dean casually activated Bone Resistance, the massive force pushing it back.
He raised his hand then cast a Slow Curse. The four-winged angel of holy light froze in mid-air.
After Dean attained the Divine spirit and further raised his spirit attribute points to over five hundred million, the skills he had previously enhanced finally shone once more.
With just two simple skills, Dean was able topletely immobilize a four-winged angel of holy light at eight-turn peak.
Dean casually activated Bone Prison, confining the angel of holy light within.
¡°Goodbye!¡±
Shortly thereafter, another Bone Fangnded on the four-winged angel of holy light.
A series of skillster, an angel of holy light at the eight-turn peak was instantly defeated by Dean at the six-turn level.
Watching the angel of holy light burst into pieces in an instant, the only one still alive, Leo, was left with his mouth agape, dumbfounded and disbelieving!
¡°Next, it¡¯s your turn!¡±
Dean looked at Leo and was just about to finish him off as well.
¡°Don¡¯t kill me, keep me alive, I can be useful, I know what Paul just did!
He didn¡¯t just summon a four-winged angel of holy light; this angel was just one of them. What he actually did was trigger his trump card in several Heavenly Abysses.
Unless I¡¯m mistaken, he has opened several entrances to the Heavenly Abyss.
If we don¡¯t handle this quickly, the powerhouses from outside the Heavenly Abyss will soon pour in!¡±
¡°Also, Mr. McKenzie, you may not be aware, but a big shot from the Church of the Holy Light in the world beyond the Heavenly Abyss has set their sights on you!¡±
Chapter 403: 228 Welfare Task
Chapter 403: 228 Welfare Task
Thorn Oak City, Heavenly Abyss!
Under normal circumstances, both sides of the Heavenly Abyss are shielded.
Any power exceeding the limit of the barrier cannot cross from one side to the other.
The barrier strength at Thorn Oak city side of the Heavenly Abyss is set at Level 140; any entity surpassing Level 140 cannote over from the Heavenly Abyss. They can go, but so far, those who dare to enter the Abyss World are few.
Therefore, they pay more attention to the barrier on the Abyss sidepared to here.
Especially this holy son of Thorn Oak city, ever since he discovered his Divine Attribute, his level of attention to the Abyss side barrier has risen several notches. Initially checking once or twice a month, he now checks ten to eight times daily.
And it seems that the more you look, the more surprises you find. Almost the moment Paul Hopperton was killed, he was pleasantly surprised to discover fluctuations in the barrier.
The level that could pass through increased from Level 140 to Level 140.5 ¨C not a big progress.
But with these things, once there¡¯s the first fluctuation, there¡¯ll be a second time, and a third time!
Theplete opening of the barrier is not far off!
And in fact, at this moment, he wasn¡¯t the only one who noticed fluctuations in the barrier.
All the Alliance controlled Heavenly Abyss barriers were fluctuating.
Some increased by 0.5 levels, some by 1 level!
No huge improvements were made.
But it doesn¡¯t require a massive increase either.
Remember, not all sides of the Heavenly Abyss are harmonious like Thorn Oak City¡¯s side.
Many are at a sharp confrontation with each other.
For a Heavenly Abyss like Thorn Oak city, a 0.5 level increase might not be a big problem, but for those sides at a sharp confrontation, even a 0.5 level increase can be a disastrous blow for the existence that guards here!
¡
On Dean McKenzie¡¯s side, as soon as Leo spoke, the system alert refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie.
[Please be aware, Guardian World Mission activated due to the breach of 54th Heavenly Abyss checkpoint, Abyss World invasion is imminent, all professionals, please proceed to the 53rd Heavenly Abyss to repel intruders!
Rewards will be calcted based on your performance in the mission!]
This system alert appeared not only in front of Dean McKenzie, but also in front of all Alliance professionals.
Both Donald Morgan and Leo received this system alert.
Leo was the first to exim after seeing the alert: ¡°The 54th Heavenly Abyss?
Mr. McKenzie, bad news! The Abyss World is behind the 54th Heavenly Abyss. It is filled with countless Abyssal Demons. Once this Abyss checkpoint is broken, when the endless Abyss Demons invade, the Alliance will be destroyed!
What are we going to do?¡±
Dean McKenzie smiled faintly: ¡°You need not worry about this!¡±
As he spoke, a bone fang pierced through Leo¡¯s head, killing him instantly.
Leo died with a dumbfounded expression.
It seemed he couldn¡¯tprehend why Dean McKenzie would kill him at such a moment.
¡°Does the Abyss invasion necessarily have anything to do with not killing you?
Or shouldn¡¯t I say, isn¡¯t this situation today caused by you guysing here?
Oh, the disaster of the Abyss invasion is caused by you guys, but now you want to pretend to be concerned for the nation and the people? What a joke, just go die quietly!¡±
With Leo being killed, the Holy Light Barrier copsed instantly.
With a wave of Dean McKenzie¡¯s hand, numerous skeletons appeared to clean up the battlefield. Dean McKenzie then turned his attention towards the 54th Heavenly Abyss.
¡°I¡¯ll go over and take a look first!¡±
Dean McKenzie said as his Flight Skill activated.
With more than five hundred million Spirit points boosting all aspects of his magic, even his Flight Skill was enhanced.
Moreover, the system marked the location of the 54th Heavenly Abyss for Dean McKenzie.
It took Dean McKenzie only about 10 minutes to reach the 54th Heavenly Abyss, tens of thousands of miles away.
The 54th Heavenly Abyss is located near the ska Mountains in the west of the Alliance. There used to be a small town built to guard the Abyss, but now, it¡¯s shattered.
Those responsible for guarding this area have almost all died in battle.
By the time Dean McKenzie arrived, only around 30 people remained, all facing the vast Abyssal army alone.
In the encirclement of the Abyssal army, they seemed like a solitary boat in a vast ocean, about to capsize at any moment.
Looking at the current situation, their destruction was merely a matter of time.
¡°It seems like our entire group is going to die here today!¡±
¡°If I knew this was going to happen today, I should have had my first time yesterday beforeing back, so that even if I die today, it wouldn¡¯t be as a virgin.¡±
¡°If you are really that desperate, there seem to be some Charming Demons inside. Do you want us to bring one for you?
To satisfy yourst wish before death?¡±
¡°Bring it on, whoever dares!¡±
¡
Surprisingly, those thirty-something people did not show too much despair in the face of this catalystic life-or-death situation. Instead, they were bantering at ease, making light of themselves, defying death.
The aura these individuals disyed could only be described as mocking the impotence of the Grim Reaper.
Maybe they were used to seeing life and death.
From their behaviour, Dean McKenzie saw a spirit that differed from most people of the Alliance.
This was undoubtedly a group of people with faith.
Dean McKenzie greatly admired them.
And hence, Dean McKenzie casually caught a Charming Demon and threw it down!
¡°Pfft!¡±
Below, the group of around 30 people were fighting intensely when a Charming Demon suddenly fell from the sky,nding right next to the guy who said he was a virgin.
Chapter 404: 228 Welfare Task_2
Chapter 404: 228 Welfare Task_2
At that moment, the air seemed to still instantaneously.
The burly man¡¯s dark face instantly flushed red.
The men around him immediately began to cheer: ¡°Yo, a charming demon sister has fallen from the sky, Denny your chance has arrived!¡±
¡°Go for it, Denny, we¡¯ll cover for you!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go to the bridal chamber directly!¡±
¡°Enough of you guys!¡±
The burly man¡¯s face turned red, and he unconsciously swung the weapon in his hand, directly blowing the head of the charming demon.
Then, Dean McKenzie¡¯s voice rang out.
¡°You guys really can¡¯t do it, how can you indulge in domestic violence?¡±
Everyone was stunned and looked up to see a figure floating above them.
Upon seeing Dean McKenzie, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.
¡°Are reinforcements here?¡±
¡°Er, in some sense, yes!¡±
¡°Are you the recon soldier of the vanguard? What about the others?¡±
¡°Er, there are no others, as far as I can see it¡¯s just me!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡±
¡°I said it¡¯s just me, there are no other reinforcements!¡±
Upon hearing Dean McKenzie¡¯s words, the originally surprised and overjoyed crowd suddenly fell into disappointment.
¡°How can you alone¡¡±
Before the crowd could finish speaking, they were abruptly silenced.
Because while they were speaking, Dean McKenzie casually swung his hand, and a bone fang split in the sky, turning into an endless bone fang rain, instantly clearing all the numerous abyssal demons that gushed out from the Heavenly Abyss in front of their eyes.
After clearing this wave, Dean McKenzie turned his gaze to them.
¡°What did you just say about me being alone?¡±
¡°N-no..¡±
¡°We said that boss is awesome!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, the boss is awesome!¡±
Everyone swallowed, their eyes full of admiration as they looked at Dean McKenzie.
Clearing thousands of level 141 seventh-turn monsters with one move, this level of strength is something even an eighth-turn cannot achieve, right?
Dean McKenzie nced at them, then withdrew his gaze andnded on the ground.
With Dean McKenzie¡¯snding, the Gate of Bone opened, and arge number of skeletons swarmed out, transporting the corpses all over the ground back to the Land of Bone, while Dean McKenzie himself came to the location of the Heavenly Abyss.
Although Dean McKenzie had just wiped out those Abyssal demons with a bone fang, the system did not prompt Dean McKenzie that the invasion had been sessfully repelled.
So Dean McKenzie guessed, those group of Abyssal demons probably weren¡¯t key to the invasion.
When Dean McKenzie arrived at the Heavenly Abyss, he confirmed his guess.
At this moment, the barrier of the Heavenly Abyss was covered with a dark force.
Upon seeing the barrier, a system prompt appeared before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes, telling him what it was.
¡
Name: Corroded Heavenly Abyss Barrier
Description: The barrier is currently 32% corroded. Once the barrier ispletely corroded, it will openpletely, and the invasion of the Abyss World will officially begin.
PS: Any of your attacks can prevent or even eliminate the degeneration
¡
Looking at the system prompt, Dean McKenzie raised an eyebrow: ¡°So, I just need to attack it, right?
That seems rtively simple!¡±
As he said this, Dean McKenzie casually threw out a bone fang.
The corrosion progress directly dropped to 31%. At this rate of decrease, he would be able topletely solve the problem in exactly thirty-one hits.
However, the problem was not that simple.
When Dean McKenzie dealt the first hit, a voice rang out.
¡°Stop, human. Cease fire!¡±
Dean McKenzie ignored the voice and threw another bone fang.
¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me when I said stop!¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
A massive figure appeared out of thin air, wielding an enormous ming wolf tooth club, which descended towards Dean McKenzie¡¯s forehead.
As soon as the figure appeared, an attribute prompt for this creature appeared in Dean McKenzie¡¯s vision.
¡
Name: Abyss me Road Opener Giant
Quality: Epic
Level: 180
¡
Another epic quality, peak eighth-turn monster.
Such a level of existence posed absolutely no threat to the current Dean McKenzie.
Are you kidding? Dean McKenzie has already managed to y the projection of a seven-turn god, not to mention the epic level eight-turn.
¡°Bone Resistance!¡±
Before the Wolf Tooth Club could strike, the giant was sted away by a tremendous force.
Before he could hit the ground, he was suspended in mid-air and a Bone Prison appeared around him!
Following an almost identical script to before, Dean McKenzie brought down his opponent with ease.
Dean only needed to raise his hand and throw a Bone Fang, and his opponent would be finished.
¡°Honorable warrior, forgive my recklessness. I offer you my sincerest apologies once more!¡±
It must be said, the creatures from the Abyss are far more flexible than those from the Holy Light. This one immediately knelt down after realizing things were going south.
Not only did it kneel, but it also offered a sincere apology.
What do you mean by a sincere apology?
Empty words? Definitely not!
The first thing it did was hand Dean a magnificently decorated chest.
As soon as Dean¡¯s gazended on the chest, an attribute appeared on it.
¡
Box of Abyssal Apologetic Surprises (opening it will reveal a sizable surprise).
¡
Seeing this attribute, Dean smirked.
¡°Open it! I want to see what¡¯s inside!¡±
¡°Yes, Honorable one!¡±
The giant respectfully opened the chest. The moment it was opened, Dean saw items inside, shimmering with a dark gold luster.
Clearly, there were at least several dark gold quality pieces of equipment inside.
Dean took a quick nce and said: ¡°Dark gold equipment, huh? That¡¯s a decent apology, but I¡¯m not particrly fond of it. I prefer corpses. Do you have any? High quality ones. At least the same quality as you!¡±
As he was talking, Dean hurled out a Bone Fang.
The Bone Fang didn¡¯t hit the giant, but struck the barrier next to it, reducing the progress by one percent. The Bone Fang that whistled past the giant¡¯s ear made him shudder.
¡°Yes, yes, yes! I will arrange it immediately!¡±
Soon after, from the Abyssal side, more than a dozen bodies were flung out ¨C all of an epic quality.
After the bodies were thrown out, the giant looked at Dean with a sycophantic smile: ¡°Sir, is this apology satisfactory?¡±
¡°Good!¡± Dean nodded satisfied.
A smile spread across the giant¡¯s face, but in the next second, it froze as Dean¡¯s voice resonated once again.
¡°Unfortunately, I do not ept your apology.¡±
Upon his saying so, a Bone Fang directly exploded the giant¡¯s head.
¡°[You have sessfully killed the [Abyssal me Pathfinder Giant]!¡±]
Along with the system prompt, the giant¡¯s body burst into a brilliant light.
Dean smirked: ¡°Why should I ept your apology? If I kill you, your apology is still mine, isn¡¯t it?¡±
He then continued to hit the barrier with his Bone Fang, one after another.
With each hit from Dean¡¯s Bone Fang, the erosion progress on the barrier decreased dramatically, and in no time at all, it returned to zero.
At the moment when the barrier hit zero, Dean¡¯s system prompt refreshed.
¡°[You have sessfullypleted the World Guardian mission. You havepleted 99.9% of it, you will receive the SSS-level reward evaluation and the following rewards:¡±]
¡°1. Choose one attribute to permanently increase by 50%.¡±
¡°2. Raise one Talent Level to SSS-level.¡±
¡°3. Receive one World Guardian Medal!¡±]
Seeing the task rewards that appeared before him, Dean was stunned on the spot.
These rewards are incredibly generous!
¡°I seem to have misunderstood Paul and the others. They are not crazed viins, they are generous gentlemen. Where else can you find such simple and rewarding tasks?
So this is what it feels like to save the world?
I think I¡¯m starting to like this feeling of saving the world!¡±
Dean smiled as he assigned the first reward to his spirit attribute, raising his spirit attribute limit to 874.5 million.
There was no hesitation about that, but he was hesitant about the traits, eventually deciding to apply it to the [Dragon n Talent] trait.
¡°[Your trait [Dragon n Talent] (B-grade) has increased to (SSS-grade)!]
Dragon n Talent (SSS-grade): You gain the Dragon n Talent. Every spirit point you increase gives an additional 500 Magic Injury and 5,000 Mana.
Your skill proficiency acquisition rate is increased by 50,000%
With each level-up, you may learn a new skill, ignoring professional requirements, and this skill will be immediately enhanced and raised!
Chapter 405: 229 Talent Level 8
Chapter 405: 229 Talent Level 8
[Your trait[Dragon n Talent]has been upgraded, the skills you previously learned through[Dragon n Talent]have been enhanced and evolved!]
[Your skill[Holy Light Judgment]has been enhanced and evolved!]
[Your skill[Flight Skill]has been enhanced and evolved!]
[Your skill[Heart of Savagery]has been enhanced and evolved!]
¡
In one breath, all three skills that Dean McKenzie mastered have been enhanced and evolved.
This wave of enhancement has directly led to a minor increase in Dean McKenzie¡¯s strength.
Dean McKenzie quickly scanned the attributes of these enhanced skills.
¡
[Holy Light Judgment] (Mystery) (Level 1) (Can unleash a Holy Light Judgment attack that is the product of four-dimensional attributes plus Magic Injury multiplied by 50, this attack cannot be resisted by those marked as evil)
[Flight Skill] (Mystery) (Level 1) (At its highest speed, it can activate a speed that is 100 times the Spiritual Power, and carries a defense that is 100 times the Spiritual Power while flying)
[Heart of Savagery] (Mystery) (Level 1) (A passive increase of 50 fixed spirit defenses for every point of spirit, immune to control before the spirit defense is destroyed, and can activate Heart of Savagery to reflect the mind control)
¡
After briefly checking the attributes of these skills, it was clear that each one was more powerful than thest.
Now Dean McKenzie realized, even among the SSS-level features, there are differences in strength.
If all the SSS are lined up, it¡¯s hard to say how his own three SSS-level features[Second Life] would rank, but the remaining two[Divine Spirit]and[Dragon n Talent] are definitely top-tier traits.
With this trait boost, Dean McKenzie¡¯sbat power has skyrocketed to a whole new level.
Getting such rewards, Dean McKenzie was undoubtedly overjoyed.
He just felt that the difficulty of the task he had undertaken didn¡¯t match the reward he received.
¡°Could it be because I took on the whole task by myself?
That shouldn¡¯t be it, this task wasn¡¯t that hard, even if I took it all by myself, the reward shouldn¡¯t be this abundant, should it?¡±
Dean McKenzie was somewhat puzzled.
But Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t the type to overthink, if he didn¡¯t understand, then he didn¡¯t bother.
¡°Forget it, forget it, as long as I profit from this, that¡¯s all that matters.
Let¡¯s continue!¡±
As Dean McKenzie spoke, his gaze fell upon the pile of corpses on the ground.
Including the Abyssal Giant, there were a total of 18 epic quality corpses on the ground.
Adding on to that, Paul Hopperton, Mark Hopperton and Leo from the previous Alliance eight-man group were all of epic quality, meaning Dean McKenzie had a total of 21 epic quality corpses in his possession.
¡°Old Four, Old Six, Old Seven, Doggy Eight, Doggy Nine will each get three, making a total of fifteen, plus the remaining epic temted from before. I just don¡¯t know if the epic temte can be enhanced at the upational level, if not then I¡¯ll add it to the attributes first.
Wait, Old Seven¡¯s permanent attributes haven¡¯t been maxed out yet, put him aside first, wait until his permanent attributes are maxed before enhancing his quality, this way the profits will be maximized!¡±
As Dean McKenzie was speaking, he started to deal with the 21 epic quality corpses.
[You used Extraction, and gained 1.05 million Attribute Points, and 21 Epic Temte Fragments!]
[Youbined 7 Epic Temtes!]
[You consumed 40,000 Purple Gold Coins, applied the Epic Temtes to your Wraith Servants Doggy Four, Doggy Six, Doggy Eight, Doggy Nine!]
[Your Wraith Servants¡¯ quality rises to the Epic level!]
In a single breath, all the major dogs under Dean McKenzie¡¯smand have evolved, and their strength has significantly increased.
Dean McKenzie used the remaining four epic temtes on himself, upgrading his four-dimensional attributes all to the epic quality.
[You have expended 40,000 Purple Gold Coins, using the epic temte on your own Strength, Agility, Spirit, and Physique!]
[Your four-dimensional temte has upgraded to Epic Quality!]
[Your Strength, Agility, Constitution attribute traits have been upgraded to SS-level!]
[Your Spirit Trait [Divine Spirit] depth has improved slightly!]
¡
After quickly consuming the 21 corpses, Dean McKenzie threw the 21 corpses into the Land of Bone, preparing to slowly resurrect them and harvest them.
¡°Currently, my Talent Level has reached level 7, the extracted attributes canst for 36,000 minutes, which is 25 days!
In 25 days, with so many bodies, I should be able to pile them up to a few SS-level traits, or even produce an SSS-level feature.¡±
It must be said that Dean McKenzie knows how to harvest and use resources.
He clearly understood how to deal with these corpses.
He has already figured out how to deal with these corpses.
But that will take time, and currently Dean McKenzie felt that he might not have enough time.
After processing the corpses and opening the light point, Dean McKenzie nced briefly at the stunningly beautiful[Deeply Apologetic Abyssal Chest].
This thing looked pretty good on the surface, but Dean McKenzie always felt it wasn¡¯t quite legitimate.
After thinking about it, Dean McKenzie decided to stay dozens of miles away from the chest before remotely controlling a skeleton to open it.
¡°Boom!¡±
The instant the chest was opened, the surrounding area waspletely covered by a powerful force.
¡°I knew it, this thing isn¡¯t all it appears to be!¡±
Dean McKenzie looked at the exploded chest with some lingering fear.
Fortunately, he was cautious, otherwise he might have been left in a sorry state.
¡°These entities from the abyss, all of them have such sinister minds, thank God I was careful.
But with this, the issue here should bepletely resolved, right?
What about the other locations?¡±
Having just enjoyed the benefits of the world-saving mission, Dean McKenzie was eager for more!
Chapter 406: 229 Talent Level 8_2
Chapter 406: 229 Talent Level 8_2
With each mission providing a fifty percent permanent attribute bonus and an SSS-level feature, Dean McKenzie figured that with a few more like this, he could take off without even having to go through the Seven-turn Promotion Quest process.
Therefore, he was eager for another wave of these tasks, and even more waves after that.
With his current 800 million Spirit,bined with his arcane-level Flight Skill, he could reach any corner of the Alliance within ten minutes.
¡°No one, no one can beat me; I am definite to take on this task, and in this wave, I am sure to soar!¡±
As Dean eagerly waited, before long, new system prompts began to refresh.
[Please note, the 34th Heavenly Abyss checkpoint has been breached. The Abyss World invasion is about to begin. The Guardian World Mission is activated. All professionals are requested to proceed to the 34th Heavenly Abyss to fend off the invaders!
Rewards will be settled ording to your performance in the task!]
¡°It¡¯s here!¡±
Looking at this system prompt, Dean was both shocked and ecstatic.
Within less than five minutes, his Flight Skill brought him to the 34th Heavenly Abyss.
This time Dean was fast. When he arrived, the corrosion rate was only about five percent. He quickly took care of the problem.
With a speed that almost smoked, the problem was solved in less than twenty minutes.
[Congrattions onpleting the rescue mission, your personal progression rate is 99.9%, you get[Rescue Chest]one!]
¡°What the hell?¡±
Looking at this reward, Dean was somewhat taken aback.
Wasn¡¯t the reward supposed to be something else?
¡°Why do I only get a chest?
Where are the fifty percent permanent attributes?
Where¡¯s the SSS-level feature?
It¡¯s the same task, with the same 99.9%pletion rate, so why are the rewards so different?¡±
Dean McKenzie was unhappy looking at the chest before his eyes.
¡°Could it be that I was too fast?
Shouldn¡¯t men actually not rush things? Should I slow down next time, prolonging the duration to see what happens?¡±
As Dean was pondering, soon the system prompt refreshed again.
[Please note, the 41st Heavenly Abyss checkpoint has been breached. The Abyss World invasion is about to begin. The Guardian World Mission is activated. All professionals are requested to proceed to the 41st Heavenly Abyss to fend off the invaders!
Rewards will be settled ording to your performance in the task!]
The system prompt refreshed, and Dean sprang into action once more.
Within less than five minutes, Dean was on the scene again.
This time he had learned his lesson.
He cleared all the people in the Heavenly Abyss first and then waited for the corrosion rate to keep increasing.
Only when it reached ny percent did Dean take decisive action.
It was a tightrope walk.
Unfortunately, Dean¡¯s strategy did not seem to yield any significant results.
[Congrattions onpleting the rescue mission, your personal progression rate is 99.9%, you get[Rescue Chest]one!]
Seeing another so-called ¡°Rescue Chest¡± in his hands, Dean was somewhat questioning life.
¡°I suspect the damn system is targeting me!¡±
If Dean hadn¡¯t gotten such a good reward the first time, he wouldn¡¯t have thought there was something wrong with the rewards he received afterwards.
The first time he got a fifty percent permanent attribute increase and an SSS-level feature reward.
After that, just two chests? Wasn¡¯t this a deception?
Especially when he found out that other professionals who had split the remaining 0.01% contribution also received the same Rescue Chest, Dean realized that he might only get that one reward once.
There wasn¡¯t a second time!
¡°Is that how it is? Let me test it!¡±
Soon after, Dean grabbed a professional from the Church and asked him to join in the fourth rescue mission.
To verify his guess, Dean tried to feed as many kills to him as possible.
He himself yed a supporting role on the side.
Under Dean¡¯s assistance, it took them about an hour or two to solve the problem.
In this task, Dean achieved a thirteen percent contribution, while the professional whom Dean let take the kills got a whopping seventy-seven percent contribution.
Then, the system began to settle the rewards.
[You havepleted the rescue mission, yourpletion rate is thirteen percent, you get one Rescue Chest!]
Seeing another Rescue Chest, Dean was somewhat getting used to this.
His gaze then fell on the professional.
The professional was enveloped in a bright glowing light as the system rewards were being allocated.
In the glow, one of his attributes increased by 50 percent, and he also had acquired an SSS-level feature.
The moment his attributes skyrocketed and his feature level ascended.
The normally deferential professional instantly became brash, turning to look at Dean McKenzie: ¡°Boy,e and meet your death¡¡±
¡°Pff!¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, a Bone Fang prated straight through his forehead, taking his life instantly.
¡°It seems, the same reward can only be obtained once by each person.
This must be some sort of rule. But it¡¯s not a big deal, I can still get it a second time, even if it¡¯s a bit roundabout!¡±
With that, Dean McKenzie used [Extraction] on his target.
[You have used Extraction. Your Attribute Points are at fifty thousand and you have acquired an SSS-level Essence.]
[You have spent 100,000 Purple gold coins to upgrade the Undying Trait of your skill [Control Skeleton] to [SSS-level]!]
The process was a tad roundabout and he lost fifty percent of his attribute points.
But Dean McKenzie still obtained an SSS-level feature.
¡°Not bad, if I can get an SSS-level feature from every mission, then it won¡¯t be a total loss!¡±
Dean McKenzie looked forward to continuing with the next mission.
But this mission seemed to have ended.
No new mission prompts appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie wasn¡¯t sure if the Rescue mission series had been basicallypleted or if he had behaved so disgracefully that the system decided not to y with him anymore.
¡°If the system won¡¯t y with me, so be it ¨C I don¡¯t care!¡±
Dean McKenzie was sour, but promptly opened all three of the so-called Rescue Chests he had acquired.
[You have opened three Rescue Chests!]
[You have obtained 30 Rare Talent Stones!]
[You have obtained the item [Perpetual Magic Bottle]!]
[You have obtained the Instance Scroll [Evil Dragon and Princess]!
Item [Perpetual Magic Bottle] (Using this item, you will have an inexhaustible supply of mana for the next 24 hours)
Instance Scroll [Evil Dragon and Princess] Level 141(This exins a special instance)
¡
Looking at the contents of the three chests, Dean McKenzie feels rtively satisfied.
It¡¯s not bad, Dean McKenzie likes it.
Especially those 30 Rare Quality Talent Stones, with these 30 Talent Stones, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Talent Level could be raised to 8!
¡°The stupid system won¡¯t y with me and that is fine, I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m off to upgrade my Talent Level!¡±
Dean McKenzie looked enviously towards the ongoing Guardian World Missions in the distance and then dove headfirst into the Land of Bone.
Dean McKenzie had originally nned to start the Promotion Quest immediately.
But since he had obtained the Rare Talent Stones, he decided to first raise his Talent Level and enhance his attributes before setting off for the Promotion Quest.
Luckily, those corpses in the Land of Bone could now be utilized by Dean McKenzie.
Subsequently, Dean McKenzie officially went into ¡®seclusion¡¯, frantically using Bone Rebirth to resurrect and kill the corpses on the ground before carrying out his [Extraction]!
Dean McKenzie was very efficient, he hadpletely used up all the corpses in less than ten days.
The Essence he had obtained was used to enhance the [Insight] trait and upgrade it to SSS-level, simultaneously raising his Talent Level to 8!
[Your Talent Level has increased to Level 8!]
¡
Talent: Extraction
Level: 8 (0/500 billion) (Perfect Talent Stones: 0/30)
Mana Consumption: 10 million
Effect: Able to extract attributes from monsters that have been dead for no more than 360,000 minutes.
¡
As this Talent¡¯s level increased to Level 8, Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes experienced a surge.
It should be noted that the previous Level 7 of Legendary Quality, Level 10 gave an attribute value of 1.92 million.
While the Epic Quality Level 10 could grant an attribute value of 5.76 million.
The Talent at Level 8 was five times this base value, meaning a Level 10 Talent could bestow an attribute value of 28.8 million.
So, at his current Level of 140, the total attribute points Dean McKenzie could obtain was 403.2 million.
¡°Who cares about the fifty percent permanent increase in attributes, I don¡¯t give a damn about it!¡±
Chapter 407: Dean McKenzie wishing to restart everything even in his dreams
Chapter 407: Dean McKenzie wishing to restart everything even in his dreams
There are a total of 108 Heavenly Abysses within the Alliance.
To stabilize these 108 Heavenly Abysses, the Alliance has spent hundreds of years of time and energy.
They had finally established a rtively stable system, but Paul Hopperton¡¯sst move before his death caused 28 out of the 108 Heavenly Abysses to revolt.
Tens of thousands of professionals defending the Heavenly Abysses were killed in battle.
His move jeopardized the Alliance and also harmed his own faction in the Alliance, the followers of the Church of Holy Light.
Originally, the Church¡¯s faction had already taken control within the Alliance, but with this incident, not only did they lose 8 high-ranking members, their prestige was also severely damaged.
After all, Paul Hopperton was a pivotal figure in their faction.
His reckless actions after his death have greatly tarnished the faction¡¯s reputation.
It directly caused many people to leave their faction and turn against it.
In less than half a month, the Church of Holy Light faction continually lost their voice in the Alliance.
The entire faction is now at the brink of destruction.
In response to the actions of Paul Hopperton, the Alliance convened a meeting after the Heavenly Abysses¡¯ turmoil was gradually resolved half a monthter.
The meeting was initiated by the former vice chairman of the Alliance.
A total of 72 people attended the meeting, all of whom were either former or current high-ranking members of the Alliance.
Their sole purpose for gathering was to hold the Church of Holy Light faction ountable for the incident half a month ago and remove them from the Alliance¡¯s decision-making level.
The Church faction was aware of this.
But knowing didn¡¯t change anything, they had no way to deal with it.
What could they do?
When faced with this situation, they could either try to reason or resort to physical force.
They obviously couldn¡¯t win over with logic. They themselves felt that what Paul Hopperton did was wrong, so they had no solid argument.
As for physical force, that was an even less viable option.
Not to mention that eight people, including Paul Hopperton, were gone, the Church factioncked the power to suppress everything.
Even if Paul and the others were still alive, they would not necessarily be able to control the situation now.
This Heavenly Abyss incident triggered many rescue missions, and many strong people emerged to help.
Currently, these strong people are all standing against the Church of Holy Light faction.
Faced with this situation, the Church of Holy Light faction ultimately chose topromise, admit their mistakes, show submission, hand over the authority they held, and they were ousted from the decision-making level of the Alliance.
With the submission of the Church¡¯s faction, the Alliance¡¯s new leader became Gavin Grainger, who presided over this meeting.
The Alliance thus entered a new stage.
As for what exactly this new stage entailed and what changes could ur under Gavin Grainger¡¯s leadership, it is still unknown.
But the first policy under Gavin Grainger¡¯s authority was soon issued.
The policy is called the ¡°Regtions on Church Management¡±.
The policy announced that there will be a cleanup and guidance of the churches within the Alliance.
All the churches within the Alliance mustplete their registration within 180 days and submit to the management of the Alliance¡¯s ¡°Church Management Agency¡±.
Any church that does notplete the registration within the set period will be defined as a heretic church, and once defined as such, will be given no chance for survival and will be directly attacked!
The moment this policy was released, it immediately caused a huge uproar within the entire Alliance.
In the interpretation of the churches, Gavin Grainger was dering war on all the churches in the Alliance!
On that day, quite a few people in the Alliance went to find Gavin Grainger.
¡°I¡¯m aware of the diverse backgrounds of the individuals within our Alliance, many of you representing various churches, and I know who you are trying to obtain information for.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t withhold any information.¡±
¡°Truth be told, I¡¯m looking to tackle the issue we have with churches.¡±
¡°In the past few decades, churches have be a problematic issue for the Alliance.¡±
¡°The behavior of certain churches has severely undermined the foundation of the Alliance, and I can¡¯t tolerate this.¡±
¡°So, are you nning to wipe out all churches, leaving no room for survival?¡±
¡°Are you not afraid that this might trigger a war?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not denying your survival, instead I¡¯m asking you to live within established rules and regtions.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re willing to cooperate with the Alliance, I won¡¯t hamper your survival nor hinder your preaching.¡±
¡°But if you refuse to cooperate, I¡¯ll have no choice but to dere war!¡±
¡°At that time, either the Alliance or you will have to die!¡±
A madman, aplete madman.
After demonstrating such an attitude, everyone felt that Gavin Grainger had gone mad.
He would plunge the Alliance into an endless quagmire of war.
Many people urged Gavin Grainger, telling him that the church issue was a historical legacy,plicated and challenging to handle, and asked him not to rush or be too aggressive.
Gavin Grainger didn¡¯t bother listening to their advice.
But facing the advice from his own people, Gavin Grainger sighed heavily: ¡°It¡¯s not that I am eager for instant sess, but we¡¯re running out of time!¡±
¡°You¡¯ve all seen this Heavenly Abyss incident.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need to borate on how extreme the Church of Holy Light faction has be, look at the rescue missions activated during this Heavenly Abyss incident.¡±
¡°How often have you seen missions in the real world before?¡±
¡°Not to mention tasks that are clearly mismatched in terms of difficulty and rewards.¡±
¡°ording to our iplete count, no less than a hundred people have obtained permanent attribute enhancements and SS-level or above trait rewards, and even SSS-level trait rewards have been found.¡±
Chapter 408: Dean McKenzie wishing to restart everything even in his dreams - 2
Chapter 408: Dean McKenzie wishing to restart everything even in his dreams ¨C 2
¡°Can¡¯t you see what this means?¡±
¡°You mean¡?¡±
¡°Yes, exactly. These benefit tasks all prove one thing: the will of our world is sensing a crisis.
Thus, only it, not Him, can offer such a considerable reward.¡±
¡°These rewards aren¡¯t for dealing with the Heavenly Abyss event, but for the impending crisis after the Heavenly Abyss.¡±
Gavin Grainger¡¯s words made his followers pause and stare at each other in disbelief.
¡°Perhaps this is just your spection¡¡±
¡°You should take a look at this first!¡±
With a sigh, Gavin Grainger directly opened his attribute panel, sharing a task adorned with purple gold Light.
As the details of this task were revealed, everyone around Gavin was stunned.
Looking at the task, everyone¡¯s faces instantly turned grim.
For a moment, a cloud of tension hung over the group.
Without a word, they all shared a knowing look.
¡°It seems we must remove the cancer that is the Church as soon as possible.¡±
¡°We do need to eradicate this cancer. But does our current strength suffice to eradicate it?
We are not up against a single church, but all the churches within the Alliance!¡±
¡°There are hundreds ofrge and small churches in the Alliance. Some of them could have even been established longer than the Alliance itself. We may not necessarily secure victory, even if we can mobilize the full force of the Alliance.
Besides, you all know the state of the Alliance right now.
Who knows how many traitors lurk within?
It would be quite challenging to face all the churches in the Alliance at the same time!¡±
Gavin Grainger, well aware of his followers¡¯ worries, asserts: ¡°Don¡¯t be too pessimistic. We don¡¯t have to deal with all the churches.
Not every church within the Alliance is aligned.
It¡¯s hard for hundreds of churches to unify. As long as we can appease and overthrow a portion of them, we can solve the church problem.¡±
¡°Moreover, we¡¯re not standing alone in this matter.¡±
Many within the Alliance still have its best interests at heart. They will help us if they see we have a n to change the situation within the Alliance.¡±
And I have enough confidence to persuade someone to help us.¡±
If that person can lend a hand, our odds of resolving the church issue will rise to 80%.¡±
¡°No, I should say, that person alone would give us an 80% chance of sess!¡±
Hearing Gavin Grainger speak so highly of someone, everyone present paused, thought for a while, but couldn¡¯t figure out who he was referring to.
Does such a person exist within the Alliance?
¡..
Strength: 413 million, Agility: 415 million, Physique: 773 million, Spirit: 1.273 billion
In the Land of Bone, Dean McKenzie looked at his attribute panel, his feelings slightlyplicated.
After raising his talent to the 8th level, Dean enhanced his and his caninepanions¡¯ attributes as well.
Together, he gained a total of 3.627 billion attribute points.
For this improvement of attributes, Dean had depleted all his wealth.
He had spent every single Gold Coin and Purple Gold Coin he had, and now his warehouse was utterly empty.
Overnight, Dean was left with only 50 of God¡¯s Gold Coins.
¡°I haven¡¯t lost my money; it just transformed into a form that will always apany me.¡±
¡°Money is something you can always earn more of. But you can¡¯t always level up your strength!¡±
¡°Some people wish they could pay to gain strength, but they simply don¡¯t have the opportunity.¡±
¡°Look at my attributes; they¡¯re simply invincible!¡±
As Dean spoke, he couldn¡¯t resist clenching his fist.
It felt unreal to be so powerful.
Looking at his pale fist and skinny forearm, Dean found it hard to believe that his small body harbored attributes amounting to billions.
¡°With these attributes, I could knock down numerous seventh or eighth-turn entities with just a punch, even without using any skills, right?¡±
If I were to use a skill, I haven¡¯t encountered a Ninth-turn one yet, but Eighth-turn ones definitely couldn¡¯tst a round against me. Hmm, they couldn¡¯tst a round even before I enhanced my attribute points, let alone now.
Plus, I still haven¡¯tpleted my job-switching yet. What level of power could I achieve once I reach Seven-turn?¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine!
At the same time, Dean McKenzie became even more curious and eager about his upper talent limit.
¡°I¡¯m already this strong now at Level 8, what would it be like if I were Level 9?
Imagine if I could start adding attribute points from Level 1, what would that scenario look like?¡±
Dean McKenzie did a quick calction, considering if he could add points to his attributes from Level 1 like he does now, how many attribute points he¡¯d have at the moment.
¡°From Level 1 to 20, Epic Quality can add 57.6 million to the four dimensions, and after job-switching in Hell Mode it doubles that, making it 115.2 million.
By Level 40, the four-dimensional attributes would reach 172.8 million, and after re-jobbing it will double to 345.6 million. By Level 60, these four-dimensional attributes rise to 403.2 million and would then double to 806.4 million.
Moreover, from the fourth, fifth, and sixth turns onwards, the increase is no longer double.
It starts at a minimum of 5 times.
If it¡¯s like me, with a 10 times or 20 times increase, that will be even more exaggerated.
At Sixth-turn, starting to add points from Level 1, I would now have a single attribute of 870.33 billion ¡ª meaning 87.03 trillion!¡±
Having worked out this result, Dean McKenzie was silent for a long time.
¡°Is there a knife avable? Give me a knife, so I can die once! I must want to start over!
I fucking need to start over!¡±
If Dean McKenzie really got a chance to start over, he wouldn¡¯t care about permanent attribute increases or SSS-level features.
Even SSS-level traits are useless in the face of such massive attributes.
All these traits in fact have a hidden rule, the attribute gap between them can¡¯t be too great.
Once the attribute gap is toorge, even SSS-level traits can¡¯t hold up.
Even the God, I presume, wouldn¡¯t be able to resist one Bone Fang attack with my 87.03 trillion in Spirit!
What if it¡¯s my Seven-turn? Or my Eight-turn?
My Ninth-turn?
I had a 10 times and 20 times attribute increase in my job-switching until the Sixth-turn, at Seventh-turn even Carl had a 20 times increase.
As for me, at the very least, it would start at 50 times and can potentially reach 100 times.
What¡¯s a hundred times 87.03 trillion?¡±
Original, Dean McKenzie thought his attributes were quite badass. But once he did the math, he felt his attributes were really poor.
The more he calcted, the more he wanted to restart.
Damn it, having such an exploit right in front of one¡¯s eyes that could take oneself to such terrifying heights but couldn¡¯t make use of it, would make anyone feel tormented.
¡°Isn¡¯t there any item to start over?
Give me one, please. I am one restart away from being invincible.¡±
However, it seems unlikely to start over now. Although there is Second Life hanging on his attribute panel, Dean McKenzie doesn¡¯t know what it means or its effect. He doesn¡¯t dare to take a gamble:
Who knows if he could resurrect, and if the level would drop to Level 1 after the resurrection? By then, whether his talent would still be there or not.
Therefore, it seems unlikely to restart, but raising his talent level again seems hopeful.
¡°Or should I push a bit longer and get to talent Level 9 before job-switching?¡±
Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help having this impulse.
After all, his slight disadvantage of not being able to die once and start all over could be made up by boosting the talent levels as much as possible, couldn¡¯t it?
¡°I¡¯m basically invincible in the Alliance now anyway, there¡¯s no significant existential crisis, going slow only has its advantages and no negatives!
After all, I have to face the Mark of the Hunting God in the Seven-turn Trials.¡±
Although Dean McKenzie now feels he has the strength to contend with the Mark of the Hunting God, being able to deal with it morefortably would definitely be better!
¡°That¡¯s settled then!
I remember Donald Morgan mentioned that the talent stones had been collected by people from the Alliance, right?
Considering my current level of strength, I should be able to negotiate with the Alliance to get a talent stone, right?¡±
While Dean McKenzie was pondering on how to negotiate with the Alliance for a talent stone, he had no idea that someone had already taken the initiative to find him.

Chapter 409: 231 Seven-turn Trials
Chapter 409: 231 Seven-turn Trials
In advancing the management of the Church, the Alliance disyed firm determination and iron-blooded measures.
Under the Alliance¡¯s heavy pressure, those powerful churches that were deeply hidden could still keep their cool, but those with weaker power and less hidden could not stand it.
Faced with the current situation, they have only two choices.
Either ept the Alliance¡¯s incorporation, or be swept into the trash heap.
In less than half a month, 29 have officially signed to be legal churches.
More than 17 have been obliterated by the Alliance, achieving significant results.
Of course, the process was perilous.
Even though these churches weren¡¯t powerful, they had gods backing them up after all, and each church could invoke its respective god when being destroyed.
Some remained indifferent, but some might strike back.
Not much is needed, just one strike back, and it would be quite unpleasant.
The Alliance also suffered considerable losses in the past half a month.
On the bright side, with the actions of the Alliance, people gradually believed that they were set to eradicate the malignant tumor of the Church, and many righteous people who believed in the Alliance voluntarily joined the Alliance.
Among them were even a few who had recentlypleted the Heavenly Abyss rescue mission and obtained SSS-level features.
With the addition of these people, the strength of the Alliance not only did not decrease but surged greatly.
They were more adept at dealing with the issues of the Church.
ording to the current trend, the Alliance could indeed resolve the Church¡¯s issue within half a year.
Even Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but exim after seeing it.
¡°Not bad, I originally thought I would be busy but it turned out there wasn¡¯t anything for me to do, you guys are quite capable!¡±
¡°Inviting you over for help was also a form of insurance. We hope we don¡¯t have to rely on you!¡±
Dean McKenzie states, he recognizes money and not people, ¡°That¡¯s your business. But I¡¯ve made it clear beforehand, since I was asked toe over, regardless of whether I make a move or not, you all must pay me. If you dare shortchange me a Talent Stone, or a corpse, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±
Gavin Grainger nodded his head and said, ¡°Rest assured, we won¡¯t deduct a single cent of what¡¯s promised to you!¡±
He really had no intention of defaulting.
After all, the other party had killed a Seven-turn God and instantly yed Paul Hopperton¡¯s eight-person team.
Unless he could kill him with a p, offending such an existence would be a huge problem for him and the Alliance.
Another, and the most important point, was Gavin Grainger always felt that this matter wouldn¡¯t be so easily resolved.
The real difficulties would appearter.
At that time, he might have to rely on Dean McKenzie.
However, Dean McKenzie didn¡¯t think much about it.
He just wondered when this matter would end and when he could ess the Alliance¡¯s Treasure Vault.
To persuade him, Gavin Grainger promised to provide Dean McKenzie with 3000 legendary quality corpses, and allow Dean McKenzie to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault and take away all the Talent Stones.
Dean McKenzie was definitely looking forward to it.
The only bad thing was that the other party hoped to pay after everything was resolved.
Based on the current progress, Dean McKenzie estimated that he might have to wait a few more months.
However, it would be worth the wait for the benefits he would gain a few monthster. Not to mention anything else, the 3000 legendary quality corpses alone were enough for Dean McKenzie to produce 3 SSS features.
For this benefit, Dean McKenzie could only wait patiently.
¡
While Dean McKenzie was patient enough to wait, the Church on the other side couldn¡¯t stand it.
Facing the current situation, the Church would not sit still.
¡°The current situation is known to all of you!¡±
Inside an underground base, a mysterious figure dressed in a ck robe looked at the thirteen illusions he spent over half a month contacting from the other thirteen top churches of the Alliance.
¡°The Alliance has gathered almost all its avable forces to deal with us. We can see their determination and the forces they can mobilize.¡±
Myrades, the glory of God has reached a critical moment.
It¡¯s also the time to test us. Whether the glory of God can continue to shine will depend on whether we can hold on during this wave.¡±
¡°Of course, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to just hold on. As long as we hide and keep our heads down, the Alliance wouldn¡¯t be able to find and eliminate us one by one.¡±
¡°But if we retreat this time, the Alliance will take this opportunity to improve the environment of the Alliance.¡±
¡°At that time, the living environment for our churches will be even more difficult, and it will be hard to spread the word.¡±
¡°I believe you all won¡¯t like it. Your Lords know that you can¡¯t preach for Him, right?¡±
¡°If we lose the ability to preach, we will lose His favor. Can you allow such a situation to happen?¡±
The man in the ck robe spoke with great agitation.
But the 13 illusions present remainedpletely unmoved.
It was a joke, even the greatest orator had to consider the asion and the audience.
Which of the 13 present wasn¡¯t a high-ranking member of a church?
Which one wasn¡¯t skilled at preaching?
All of them were cunning foxes from millennia past, how could they be incited by the man in the ck robe.
¡°We came here not to listen to your nonsense, we have to speak these lines hundreds of times a day ourselves, you can skip them straight away!¡±
¡°Get straight to the point, what¡¯s your n?¡±
¡°Right!¡±
Under the gaze of thirteen pairs of eyes, the man in the ck robe stopped his provocative speech and calmlyid out his n: ¡°Kill Gavin Grainger!¡±
¡°Solve the problem at its source, indeed?¡±
¡°This is indeed the first option!¡±
¡°However, would Gavin Grainger be easy to kill?¡±
¡°Very difficult!¡±
The man in the ck robe squinted his eyes and said: ¡°He is an epic quality Seeker of Light with 180 levels. Not long ago, he participated in a rescue mission, one of his attributes increased by fifty percent, and he obtained an SSS-level feature.
Chapter 410: 231 Seven-turn Trials_2
Chapter 410: 231 Seven-turn Trials_2
Nothing else to say, his personal strength alone makes him one of the top beings currently within the Alliance.
And yet, his strength is not his only asset.
The moment he took on the Church, he predicted we¡¯d retaliate. Hence, he always has two professionals of the 180-level with SSS-level traits by his side.¡±
¡°So you¡¯re saying, to take down Gavin Grainger, we¡¯d have to confront three individuals with 180-levels, all of whom possess SSS-level traits?¡±
¡°It¡¯s more than that!¡±
The man in the ck robe shook his head, squinting as he continued: ¡°Aside from these, Gavin Grainger holds an ultimate contingency.
A terrifying contingency!
Not too long ago, he located Dean McKenzie and struck a deal with him. Mr. McKenzie now follows close behind him.¡±
¡°Given your Church¡¯s strength, you must know who Dean McKenzie is, right?¡±
Of course!
As soon as the man in the ck robe spoke Dean McKenzie¡¯s name, the faces of the thirteen ghostly figures present turned grim.
Apparently, they were all aware of Dean McKenzie¡¯s exploits.
Especially the ghost on the right. Hearing Dean McKenzie¡¯s name sent shivers down his spine.
Because not too long ago, one of the church powerhouses that McKenzie had casually caught was from their church.
He had hidden deep at the time, not daring to move an inch as he watched a member of his church far stronger than himself being dragged away like a dead dog by McKenzie.
Since then, Dean McKenzie had be his worst nightmare.
And it was not just him, nobody present dared to confront McKenzie directly.
¡°You¡¯re joking, right? Why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier that Gavin Grainger hired Dean McKenzie?
If we had known sooner, we wouldn¡¯t havee.
We aren¡¯t ready to die yet!¡±
¡°That¡¯s Dean McKenzie, the man who can kill even gods! What were you thinking trying to fight him?¡±
¡°Since he¡¯s involved in this operation, let¡¯s forego it. Hide for now!¡±
¡°Perhaps bing a legitimate church isn¡¯t so bad after all!¡±
The atmosphere shifted abruptly.
The main reason being Dean McKenzie¡¯s record of defeating gods ¨C twice.
For them, they viewed gods as invincible, and therefore considered Dean McKenzie virtually undefeatable.
They would not willingly confront McKenzie unless absolutely necessary.
The man in the ck robe seemed to have predicted this response: ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to panic. He is not as invincible as you think. In fact, handling him could be easier than you anticipate.
From what I know, his current level is 140, the peak of the sixth-turn.
With his current strength, he can easily take on the sixth-turn Trials and aplish seventh-turn at any time. Do you know why he hasn¡¯t done so?
Because his seventh-turn opponent is a seventh-turn god!
A god he is not confident of defeating, making him fearful of initiating the seven-turn Trials!
So, handling him is quite straightforward for us, we just need to force him to initiate the seventh-turn, and the god will take care of him!¡±
The ck-robed man¡¯s words had the thirteen powerful church members exchanging a quick nce.
¡°You¡¯re serious?¡±
The man in the ck robe did not directly answer. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll take on Dean McKenzie when the timees, and once I¡¯m done, you can step in!¡±
With that, the others had nothing more to object.
¡°Alright, as long as you can handle your part, we will cooperate with the operation!¡±
¡°Gavin Grainger isn¡¯t a big deal, take him out!¡±
With everyone¡¯s approval, the n to assassinate Gavin Grainger was finally in ce.
The man in the ck robe and the thirteen senior church officials reached an agreement.
And the operation promptlymenced afterwards.
¡
Three dayster.
Alliance Headquarters.
¡°Boom!¡±
Inside the headquarters, an ear-splitting explosion echoed throughout the sky.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Gavin Grainger frowned, immediately looking towards the direction of the explosion.
¡°That direction, that point seems to be towards the prison. Is someone trying to break into it?
Let¡¯s go and check it out!¡±
Gavin Grainger was about to move, two people appeared in front of him, stopping him.
¡°Don¡¯t go there, we sensed a strong divine power. It¡¯s likely to be the church acting. Their real target is not the prison but you!¡±
¡°They finally made their move?¡±
Gavin Grainger raised his eyebrows, seeming unsurprised by this.
In fact, he had been prepared for the church¡¯s counterattack as soon as he decided to move against them.
What he hadn¡¯t expected was that they woulde directly to the headquarters. This was somewhat mad.
Fortunately, Gavin Grainger still had an ace up his sleeve.
¡°Let¡¯s get Dean McKenzie!¡±
Gavin Grainger was preparing to use Dean McKenzie as his trump card, but before he could get to him, someone else found Dean first.
¡°Mr. McKenzie, this is a gift from Chairman Grainger!¡±
A middle-aged man respectfully presented a box to Dean.
¡°Who are you?¡±
Dean had a vague impression of the middle-aged man in front of him, who seemed to be one of Gavin Grainger¡¯s confidants.
However, even if he was a confidant of Gavin Grainger, Dean was still puzzled and cautious about the man¡¯s sudden arrival and the box held out in front of him.
Dean couldn¡¯t just ept whatever was handed to him, he needed to see what was inside.
¡°What is this? Ah, a Talent Stone?¡±
Before Dean could finish asking, the man opened the box directly, revealing several talent stones shimmering brilliantly.
These stones are of extremely high quality, with a few even reaching perfect quality.
Upon seeing the stones, Dean immediately reached for them.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and moved the box closer, attempting to hand it over to Dean.
However, the moment the box reached Dean, his hand smacked it, hitting the man¡¯s face with a p.
¡°Smack!¡±
With a p, the middle-aged man was thrown against the wall. His body exploded under the raw power, immediately turning into a bloody pulp on the wall.
Dean was taken aback, finding this brutal spectacle shocking.
He had only intended to apprehend the man for questioning, fearing that his spirit could annihte him with a single skill. That¡¯s why he used a p instead.
Unexpectedly, his p was just as devastating.
One p and the man was utterly annihted.
As the man died, Dean received a system update in front of him.
¡°You killed the person who conveyed goodwill to you with the ¡®Box of Good Intentions¡¯. You will receive punishment!¡±
¡°The other party has set your punishment. You will open the seven-turn trials!¡±
As the two system notifications refreshed, a grey light fell directly onto Dean.
It was then that Dean realized what the man¡¯s n was.
¡°I wondered why I didn¡¯t feel threatened, so it was this. Damn it! My talents have not even been promoted to level 9. I¡¯ve lost out!¡±
Thinking about the attribute upgrade at level 9, Dean felt a significant loss, a sour look on his face.
His sour face made those secretly observing him feel that their n was working.
¡°He really is wary of that god!¡±
¡°Obviously, even though he defeated a god, he cannot defeat all gods.¡±
¡°There are attribute constraints. The god he will face next should be one he can¡¯tpete with.¡±
¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s not give him a chance toplete the trial or evene out of it!¡±
As the voices rang out, beams of light fell upon Dean.
As these beams fell, Dean¡¯s system notifications began to refresh continuously.
¡°Someone has used a tool on you, your trial¡¯s difficulty level has been increased, and the reward for passing the trial has also increased!¡±
¡°Someone has used a tool on you, your trial¡¯s difficulty level has been increased, and the reward for passing the trial has also increased!¡±
¡
The same alert lit up 13 times, which promptly put a smile on Dean¡¯s till then sour face¡
Chapter 411: 232 Instantly obliterated humans, SSS-level profession
Chapter 411: 232 Instantly obliterated humans, SSS-level profession
For the church members, Dean McKenzie, who had killed a god, even just a projection of a god, hadmitted an inexcusable and outrageous offense.
Oh, we¡¯re all worshipping gods, and then you swagger in and kill one of them, where on earth should we save our face with your hefty performance?
Of course, they certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to confront Dean McKenzie directly.
But they do have the courage to kick a man while he¡¯s down, and a lot of it.
They had made up their minds before they came, if the man in the ck robe couldn¡¯t guide Dean to the rank-changing ceremony, they would just turn tail and run without worrying about anything.
If they seeded, they would smash the tool to keep Dean from advancing.
And they would do their utmost to send Dean McKenzie down to hell.
To put Dean down, they had especially prayed to their gods and held sacrifices, preparing items to enhance the difficulty in changing ranks.
The enhancement items from thirteen churches varied in strengths, the strongest could increase the difficulty by two hundred percent, and the weakest also had a fifty percent increase in difficulty.
Thirteen items were smashed, and the difficulty in rank promotion for Dean McKenzie was boosted by one thousand five hundred percent.
Dean didn¡¯t know what the idea of a one thousand five hundred percent would look like.
Dean only knew that when this system prompt was refreshed before his eyes, the light enveloping him exploded with a never-before-seen brightness.
Simultaneously, at the top of this light, a shadow of the Hunting God appeared in the sky.
The moment the god appeared, everyone in the Alliance headquarters felt as if a boulder was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe, and they dared not lift their heads, their hearts filled with awe, fear, and ecstasy.
The ecstasy was the emotions of the church members.
He¡¯s a dead man!
Dean McKenzie is going down!
They clearly knew that the shadow they were feeling at this moment was the entity that Dean was going to face in the assessment.
It was definitely a god of the eighth-turn level.
Facing this level of opponent, Dean McKenzie, at the six-turn level, had no other path or possibility except death.
The next second, the gray light shrank, and Dean, along with the light, disappeared.
At the same time, the shadow of the Hunting God above Dean¡¯s head vanished as well.
Now that the god wasn¡¯t suppressing them anymore, everyone in the Alliance headquarters could lift their heads.
But the moment they lifted their heads again, it was clear that different people wore different expressions on their faces.
Everyone in the Alliance, with Gavin Grainger at the helm, had a rather bad and grave expression on their faces!
On the other hand, all the church members were ecstatic.
¡°Our hardest opponent is down, now it¡¯s time for Gavin Grainger!¡±
¡°Attack!¡±
At themand, dozens of silhouettes rushed towards Gavin Grainger, and a world-shattering battle erupted in the headquarters of the Alliance in an instant.
¡
While the fierce battle erupted at the Alliance headquarters, elsewhere, Dean McKenzie¡¯s silhouette emerged within an enormous, primeval forest alongside the gray light.
What was different from all previous legends was¡
Previously, every time Dean was transported, he lost consciousness for a while. But this time, though unable to make any movement while being transported, his spirit remained active.
He saw clearly how he was transported here.
But seeing it didn¡¯t mean he could describe the process.
Dean didn¡¯t know how to express it; he could only say it was quite miraculous. In a trance, he seemed to have glimpsed the essence of space.
But you¡¯d better not ask him what the essence of space is, or else he¡¯ll scoff at your face.
Damnit, if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t be a necromancer but a space mage.
Moreover, afternding, Dean tossed that matter aside.
Right now, for Dean, the most important thing was this trial.
The moment hended, Dean immediately activated the [Wraith Scourge].
Dean had fought against the Hunting God before and knew clearly how important it was to seize control of the battlefield against this kind of enemy.
However, Dean¡¯s Wraith Scourge was greatly suppressed.
The Wraith Scourge, which could normally expand for dozens of miles, was halted after only a few tens of meters.
Dean could clearly feel a powerful force restricting the expansion of his Wraith Scourge.
This force was even stronger than when he faced the Blood God before.
Meanwhile, the Hunting God, in the Endless Forest, was looking at Dean from a few hundred miles away.
Her gaze was cold and detached, as if looking at a prey that was already lying on her chopping block.
Originally, she was quite confident of taking down Dean.
The failurest time was but an ident. This time she was ready and certain of defeating him with seven-turn power.
Not to mention, when the trial started, she received some unexpected joyful surprises.
The difficulty of the trial was increased again.
Hence, the Hunting God, originally prepared to face Dean at Level 160, was forced to upgrade to level 180, facing Dean with the force of the pinnacle of eighth-turn.
This forced power upgrade was not in the Hunting God¡¯s n, but she didn¡¯t resist this surprise ident!
¡°Lowly human insect, this time, I will let you know what despair means!¡±
As soon as the words fell, the Hunting God¡¯s expression immediately changed.
The original disdain and aloofness disappeared instantaneously.
On one hand, when her gaze fell on Dean, Dean¡¯s attribute panel appeared before her, allowing her to see Dean¡¯s explosively inted attributes at a nce.
Chapter 412: 232 Instantly obliterated humans, SSS-level profession_2
Chapter 412: 232 Instantly obliterated humans, SSS-level profession_2
The Mark of the Hunting God was startled.
Last time she fought with Dean McKenzie, his spirit was a mere over ten million.
How long has it been?
At this moment, Dean McKenzie¡¯s poorest attribute starts at four billion, and the spirit is even more terrifying, directly reaching twelve billion.
The Mark of the Hunting God waspletely shocked!
She originally thought that her advantage with cheats was big enough, she didn¡¯t expect that her opponent¡¯s cheat was even more outrageous.
The total attributes of six-turns is just over twenty billion. Is this possible for a person to have?
Isn¡¯t this the level of a born god?
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie did not know the shock of the Mark of the Hunting God, otherwise Dean McKenzie would have to say this god really has no vision at all.
Is she shocked by this?
Is she panicked yet?
What if, when she turns around, she saw Dean McKenzie¡¯s four-dimensional attributes of 87.03 billion at six-turns after the reset? Wouldn¡¯t she directly suspect that God has taken birth?
Of course, whether or not she can see Dean McKenzie¡¯s reset, there is no doubt that the Mark of the Hunting God is already doubting her life.
It¡¯s not just Dean McKenzie¡¯s attributes that made her doubt life, but Dean McKenzie is more ruthless.
As soon as the battle begun, Dean McKenzie felt that the expansion of the Wraith Scourge was under pressure, and he turned on the ¡°God yer Title¡± for the first time.
As soon as this title is turned on, Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Scourge expanded for a dozen miles with the help of a god.
Meanwhile, the Gate of Bone behind Dean McKenzie opened, and countless wraiths poured out.
At first nce, the Mark of the Hunting God was not panicked.
She thought Dean McKenzie was just trying topete with her for territory.
She was familiar with those who wanted to use the sea of people tactic of necromancers to conquer the world, and their strongest point were the wraiths under theirmand.
Isn¡¯t it just a tactic of massing troops?
The Mark of the Hunting God waspletely calm, held up her demigod longbow in her hand, and was ready to let Dean McKenzie know that gods can¡¯t be opposed or manipted by his lowly massing troop tactics!
However, as soon as the Mark of the Hunting God drew her longbow, she directly doubted her life.
Because Dean McKenzie also took action at the same time, in an instant, all the wraiths died in ce with the snap of his fingers, then he pulled out a big magic wand.
The next moment, the terrifying power that made the Mark of the Hunting God¡¯s scalp numbpletely burst out from Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Scourge!
Yes, in this instant, all the corpses in Dean McKenzie¡¯s Wraith Scourge exploded on the spot.
Exploded on the spot!
¡
Skill: Corpse Explosion (Sublimation) (Mystery)
Level: 2
Mana Consumption: 800 million
Effect: Using corpses, it can cause damage equivalent to four-dimensional attributes in front of the corpse plus the user¡¯s spirit plus magic strength multiplied by 55 plus 1.7 billion within 4000 meters.
ps: For every additional 4000 meters in attack range, damage decreases by 20 percent
Trait: Soul Explosion (SS) (1 level) (Causes a skill damage explosion of 300 percent to the soul)
Damage Deepening (SS) (1 level) (Increases skill damage by 5000 percent)
Ignore Defense (SS) (1 level) (100 percent of skill damage directly ignores the opponent¡¯s defense)
¡
This is the basic attribute of Dean McKenzie¡¯s corpse explosion skill.
But the actual effect of the corpse explosion used by Dean McKenzie sees another 15-level boost based on this, with the effect increasing tenfold!
What concept is this?
Dean McKenzie could not describe it, he only knew that after this corpse explosion skill hit, his staggering mana of trillions was instantly depleted.
Then, Dean McKenzie saw art, an art known as explosion.
As terrifying power erupted, it swept everything around in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the entire trial dungeon was levelled t.
The endless forest instantly turned into endless ruins, and the Mark of the Hunting God, who was deep in the endless forest and nning to avenge, suffered a greater loss than thest time.
Last time she at least kept up with Dean McKenzie.
A few times she had Dean McKenzie beaten down to the ground.
This time, however, she just raised her demigod longbow and hadn¡¯t even had time to fire a shot before the power of the endless corpse explosion fell on her.
Of course, she would certainly not just wait for death.
The Demigod Quality Artifact sets she was wearing, the traits of her endless evasion alling into effect, all in resistance.
But it was precisely these Artifacts in action and resisting that allowed her to experience the taste of Despair deep in her soul.
In the face of this absolute power, her Demigod Quality Artifacts crumbled in less than a second. Her evasion had no effect under the blessing of Divine Spirit and the ¡®God-Killer¡¯ title.
She herself, amidst this wave of Corpse Explosion, resisted for not more than three seconds before she conceded defeat!
Her body scattered within the Corpse Explosion, turning into a dazzling treasure chest.
The remaining wisp of her Divine Soul took onest look in Dean McKenzie¡¯s direction.
In this look, however, there was none of the previous condescension that seemed like the way one looks at an insect.
What remained was only respect, and even fear.
She clearly knew that the power of this single blow alone, had reached the Demigod level, and was even at the highest level of damage at the Demigod level.
A being capable of such terrifying outburst was merely at sixth order; as long as he didn¡¯t fall and ignited the divine fire to achieve eternity, this would be set in stone for him.
Indeed, for him, igniting the divine fire to achieve eternal life was just a beginning.
He could definitely be an entity with Medium Divine Power, or even a massively powerful one, in the future.
Facing such a level of opponent, the best method would be to kill him now. However, unfortunately for the Mark of the Hunting God, she was unable to do that, so she had to choose another way.
After consuming her Divine Soul and cing certain things into the treasure chest, the Mark of the Hunting Godpletely died out.
Meanwhile, on Dean McKenzie¡¯s end.
After activating the Endless Corpse Explosion Staff, system prompts started refreshing in front of Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[You have sessfully killed the [Mark of the Hunting God (Projection)] (Level 180)!]
[You have seeded in the Abyss Trial under the gaze of a god!]
[You have sessfullypleted ss transfer, and received extraordinary ss transfer rewards. You will receive the following ss transfer rewards.
1. Your profession will be upgraded to SSS-Level [Wraith Scourge Controller that Makes Gods Tremble]
2. You will receive a 230-fold boost in all attributes!]
With the refreshing of these system prompts, an ultimate dazzling gray light descended on Dean McKenzie.
The moment the light fell, Dean McKenzie¡¯s All Attributes soared.
At the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s profession underwent a change.
The entire process happened in a split second, but Dean McKenzie had no idea how fast it was.
His entire being waspletely enveloped, unable to extricate himself from the state of the attributes enhancement.
Not to mention the feeling of the enhancement, just watching those attributes on his status panel increase at an unbelievable speed was enough to make one feel intoxicated.
That speed of increase ranked faster than when Dean McKenzie cheated at an online game after crossing over.
After an unknown period of time, the system prompt refreshed before Dean McKenzie¡¯s eyes.
[You have sessfully changed your ss to [Wraith Scourge Controller that Makes Gods Tremble], your Traits [Control Over Bones] [Wraith Scourge Recorder] are upgraded to SSS-Level!]
[ss Changepleted, your attribute points enhancement isplete!]
Dean McKenzie instinctively opened his status panel for a look.
¡
Strength: 949.9 billion, Agility: 954.5 billion, Physique: 1777.9 billion, Spirit: 2927.9 billion
¡
Control Over Bones (SSS-Level) increases the power of Bone Skills by a thousandfold and enhances the skill mastery gain of Bone Skills by a thousandfold. Let all Bone Skills obtain the power of a Demigod (can ignore the special traits of anything below Demigods).
¡
Wraith Scourge Recorder (SSS-Level) This trait is tied to the Wraith Scourge Skill. Under this trait, your Wraith Scourge Skill will obtain infinite potential.
¡
Looking at the attribute points in front of him, Dean McKenzie muttered: ¡°It¡¯s alright, just ordinary. Even the most powerful spirit can¡¯t catch up with the attributes of a sixth turn after my reboot.
I¡¯m just a piece of trash!¡±
Despite saying this, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but raise the corners of his mouth into a crazy smile.
Obviously, he didn¡¯t despise it as much as he said.
Although this attribute might not be as strong as the sixth turn after a restart, it was already quite terrifying.
Now, a simple Bone Fang from Dean McKenzie, could very likely be more horrifying than the previous Corpse Explosion.
If he casually used it in the real world, a single Bone Fang could cause enormous and incalcble damage to the real world. At this moment, Dean McKenzie already felt that his immense power seemed to be unstoppable by the world!
¡°Looks like I¡¯ve inadvertently, be invincible!¡±
Chapter 413: 233 Demigod Quality Artifact
Chapter 413: 233 Demigod Quality Artifact
[You have sessfully in the projection of a god, your ¡®God yer¡¯ title progress has been updated by 1!]
[You have opened the God yer Treasure Chest, you have gained God¡¯s Gold Coins x50, you have received arge Divine Artifact Core, Bow of Hunting (Demigod Quality Artifact), you have received a promotion charm for the archer profession, you have received an apology letter from the Hunting God!]
With the system¡¯s prompt, the invincible Dean McKenzie opened the treasure chest obtained from ying the Hunting God.
However, he was slightly stunned when the chest was opened.
He turned his attention to the items inside the chest.
¡
God¡¯s Gold Coins (highest level of currency, with various inconceivable uses)
Large Divine Artifact Core (that equates to eight regr artifact cores. Using this will enhance your magic wand to demigod quality.)
Boost for Archer Position Quality (By using this, you can forcibly increase the quality level of the archer ss below demigod level, with demigod level as the highest.)
Bow of Hunting (Demigod Quality Artifact) (only can be used by an archer with demigod quality.)
Apology Letter from Hunting God (It¡¯s a letter filled with sincere apologies from the Hunting God)
¡
There¡¯s no doubt that this one chest yielded an unprecedentedlyrge loot, far more plentiful than what Dean McKenzie had expected.
Dean initially thought there might be some divine properties and a divine core at most, but he didn¡¯t expect to get so many things.
But out of all the items, what caught his attention was the apology letter from the Hunting God.
¡°What does this mean? Did he give up and surrender?¡±
Dean was curious and opened the letter, suddenly the shadow of the Hunting God appeared before his eyes, nodding humbly: ¡°You finally opened the letter, child with divine potential.¡±
¡°The moment I saw you, I knew of your potential, that¡¯s why I gave you these challenges. You didn¡¯t fail me, I am overjoyed to see your achievements!¡±
Upon hearing these words, Dean curled his lips.
This fellow didn¡¯t have this attitude at the beginning.
However, Dean got the hint, realizing the Hunting God must be knowing he can¡¯t beat him now and will probably never be able to in the future. So he¡¯s trying to soften the blow, but appeared awkward trying to save his divine dignity.
Well, it doesn¡¯t really matter.
It¡¯s not about what people say, it¡¯s about what they do.
Seeing that the Hunting God left so many nice things, Dean is somewhat willing to forgive him.
¡°However, child, your true trials are only just beginning.
The barrier of the small world you are in is about to break, at that time, countless strong beings from the Pantheon Continent will invade.
Your world will be very dangerous.
If you don¡¯t want to be affected, it¡¯s best to leave this world as soon as possible.
The way to leave it is¡zzzz!¡±
The vision suddenly seems to have been lost at this point, the phantom of the Hunting God instantly vanished under the action of a mysterious force.
Dean raised his eyebrows, he didn¡¯t like such unnned incidents.
He didn¡¯t know whether it was a force causing interference or if the Hunting God deliberately did this to sicken him,
If it¡¯s the former, it seems that some will is watching him. Even in such a replication, that force has the ability to interfere here, right under Dean¡¯s eyelids.
If it¡¯s thetter, then the Hunting God seeded, Dean is indeed sickened.
Butpared to the former, Dean hopes he is just being disgusted.
After all, if the former is true, Dean will be in dangerous situation.
This unexpected circumstance made Dean, who justpleted his profession change, raised his abilities, and was feeling invincible, quite unhappy.
¡°Regardless, I still need to find a way to leave this small world.
It¡¯s one thing whether to leave or not, having an alternate approach is another matter.
However, before that!¡±
As Dean spoke, he turned to the relics left by the [Hunting God].
[You have used a shard of the divine artifact core, your equipment [Staff of Endless Corpse Explosion] has evolved, advancing into demi-god quality!]
[You have used the Archer Quality Promotion Order, your wraith servant Doggy Nine has evolved, his quality has been promoted to demigod!]

(Daily: 3/3)
¡
Looking at these attribute points, Dean McKenzie is quite satisfied.
Explosive, whether it¡¯s Dean¡¯s demigod artifact, Old Nine, or its demigod artifact, all are just as explosive.
There¡¯s not much to say about Dean.
Just the power of Old Nine alone is quite despair inducing.
The original seven-turn attributes were increased by more than four billion, and after the eighth-turn, they were directly increased by 50 times. The attributes are absolutely explosive.
Moreover, considering the traits, Old Nine does not dare to imagine its ownbat power now.
It just feels, as if the sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, Old Nine seems to bein¡¯ up.
The gaze subconsciously moved towards Old Two.
The eyes met, and Old Nine quickly drew back his gaze.
Well, not only was he endowed with more than four billion attribute points, Dean was not the only one promoted from seven-turn to eighth-turn.
Although the quality of Old Nine has increased.
But in all aspects, Old Two is an existence that suppresses Old Nine, especially the trait of the Bone King, Old Nine has to kneel by just receiving one skill.
What¡¯s more important is, it¡¯s Old Nine, not Old Eight.
It¡¯s inted, but not so much to be brainless.
It will not take the initiative to give Doggy Two a chance to beat himself up.
With this progress in promotion evolution, Dean¡¯s promotion trial was basically over.
This trial dungeon, which had been smashed by Dean¡¯s Corpse Explosion, finally fulfilled its mission and came to its final fall.
At the same time, on the other side!
Outside the Land of Trials, in the Alliance¡¯s headquarters.
The war had erupted the moment Dean entered the promotion trial.
The strong ones, led by thirteen churches, joined forces for the first time to besiege Gavin Grainger.
Facing the siege of thirteen churches, Gavin Grainger¡¯s side was in an absolute disadvantage.
Three eighth-turn powerhouses could only defend against the constant attacks of the church powerhouses, hoping for reinforcements.
After all, here is the Alliance Headquarters, their home ground, as long as they can withstand a few rounds of attacks, victory will certainly belong to them.
However, Gavin Grainger and his team have waited for a while, but no help hase.
The Alliance Headquarters did not sendrge-scale reinforcements, and small-scale reinforcements were immediately wiped out once they arrived.
Faced with this situation, Gavin Grainger¡¯s heart gradually sank.
This is the headquarters of the Alliance, he is the chairman of the Alliance, how can his power be in this state when he is attacked at his own home?
How could this happen?
¡°Don¡¯t you see it yet? All this is your problem, you have deviated from the Alliance, that¡¯s why you¡¯re being abandoned by all!¡±
While Gavin Grainger was puzzled, a man stood up.
A man who made Gavin Grainger stunned when he appeared.
His name was Andrew Harper, his brother, the person he trusted the most after decades of ups and downs.
Gavin Grainger didn¡¯t expect, at this point, Harper was standing on his opposition, standing on the churches side.
¡°Was this assassination plot your doing?
No wonder its so sessful. You¡¯ve dispatched all my men, haven¡¯t you?¡±
¡°No!¡±
Andrew Harper shook his head, saying, ¡°Kill them all!¡±
Gavin Grainger¡¯s face turned pale, his eyes full of blood vessels, ¡°Why, why would you betray me, betray our ideals, betray the Alliance!¡±
¡°I may have betrayed you, but I have never betrayed my ideals, let alone the Alliance!
You are the one who truly betrayed our ideals and the Alliance!¡±
Andrew Harper calmly replied, ¡°You fail to see the big picture, and stubbornly drag the Alliance into the bottomless Abyss!
You know very well that the Heavenly Abyss cannot hold for much longer. Before long, our world will be fully exposed to the gods. What are you doing in the face of this?
You want to eliminate the Church of the Gods.
You are essentially dering war on the gods, and you will drag the Alliance into an endless abyss. I won¡¯t allow you to do so, absolutely not!
Even if it means destroying you, I will stop you!¡±
¡°Just because the Heavenly Abyss can¡¯t hold much longer doesn¡¯t mean we have to bow down to the gods. Once we bow our heads, our Alliance will lose all hope, and everyone will be the ves of the gods.
We will be brainwashed into believers, used to nourish their faith.
Without any hope, without any dignity. Do you want to see the Alliance in this state?¡±
¡°If the Alliance needs to stoop so low to survive, I would rather it be destroyed.
Moreover, we are not without hope.
We have the existence of Him behind us. As long as we don¡¯t bow our heads, He is our strongest shield!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk to me about hope, autonomy, and dignity.
If the Alliance is going to be destroyed tomorrow, then there will be nothing left.
What¡¯s wrong with temporarily bowing down for a future?¡±
¡°If the Alliance needs to stoop so low to survive, I would rather it be destroyed.
Moreover, we are not without hope.
We have the existence of Him behind us. As long as we don¡¯t bow our heads, He is our strongest shield!¡±
¡°At that time, He won¡¯t even be able to save Himself, how can He save the Alliance?¡±
This pair of brothers sharply debated over the future of the Alliance at this crossroads, each unable to convince the other, and in the end, both simultaneously shut their mouths.
¡°It¡¯s pointless to talk anymore. In the end, the truth will out!¡±
¡°Bring it on!¡±
Despite being outnumbered, Gavin Grainger expresses his fighting spirit, fearlessly facing Andrew Harper and the thirteen members under hismand.
¡°Bring it on? You still think you have hope of victory?
You¡¯re not still pinning your hopes on Dean McKenzie, are you?
You must know, just now, that sky piercing pir of light, that shadow of a god, they were all aimed at Dean McKenzie, right?
Do you know what he has to confront in his trial challenge, which has been ramped up 13 times?
He¡¯s going to face an eighth-turn god. It¡¯s impossible for him toe out of that.¡±
¡°You have no idea how powerful he is. Do you think an eighth-turn god can stop his ss change?
Don¡¯t be ridiculous. He will seed inpleting his ss change and emerge alive!¡±
¡°Really? Then let me see how he gets out.¡±
¡°Boom!¡±
Before Andrew Harper finished speaking, there was a roar in the air.
Then, Dean McKenzie appeared in mid-air above the Alliance Headquarters.
The moment he appeared, the entire sky of the Alliance Headquarters seemed to darken, and everyone present clearly felt a formidable presence, even more terrifying than the Mark of the Hunting God, enveloping the entire sky of the Alliance.
Under this presence, everyone was struggling even to breathe.
Andrew Harper who was just bragging and the thirteen members of his church turned ghastly pale.
¡°Well, this is lively!¡±
Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze fell on these people.
Seeing their eighth-turn power, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but curl his lips, he couldn¡¯t muster any enthusiasm.
With their power, Dean wouldn¡¯t dare use a in attack. He¡¯s afraid a single shot would send the entire Alliance headquarters straight to heaven.
A scan with his spiritual power and all thirteen members of the church, including Andrew Harper, started bleeding from all orifices and fell to the ground, weak and limp.
Looking at his easily defeated opponents, Dean McKenzie couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Being invincible is indeed lonely. Scanning the entire world, I can¡¯t even find a worthy opponent!¡±
Just as Dean finished speaking, his system notification refreshed.
[Warning! Warning! The 9th Heavenly Abyss has ruptured. External forces are invading the world. Rescue mission begins!]
Meanwhile, at Thorn Oak City, a certain holy son looks at the opened Heavenly Abyss with a smile on his face.
¡°Finally, it¡¯s open. That human named Dean McKenzie, I¡¯ming. I¡¯ming to take back my Divine Attribute. I hope you can return it to me willingly. Don¡¯t be ungrateful!¡±
As he spoke, the holy son stepped into the Heavenly Abyss with his mighty Holy Knight Legion, entering Thorn Oak City!
The moment he arrived, the sky of Thorn Oak City was filled with holy light that stretched for thousands of miles¡.

Chapter 415: 234 robbing thirteen churches, getting rich!
¡°The¡ The Heavenly Abyss is broken? How could that be!? It shouldn¡¯t have been so fast, it shouldn¡¯t have been so fast!¡±
With the updating system alert, Gavin Grainger and the others were stunned on the spot.
Especially Gavin Grainger, he seemed to have entirely unexpected the invasion from the outside world toe so fast.
He originally thought that he would at least have a year or more to prepare.
It should havested at least a year or so!
Otherwise, he would not have acted against the Church.
But unexpectedly, the break of the Heavenly Abyss came so quickly!
Dean McKenzie was also a bit astounded.
Of course, Dean mainly did not expect that this mission would actually involve him.
¡°Yo, wasn¡¯t it said that I wouldn¡¯t be included in the mission?
Why was I added back in?
What, can¡¯t do it without me, huh?¡±
Dean couldn¡¯t help but jest.
However, jest as he might, he still would not abandon this one mission.
Especially when Dean sensed that the location of the Heavenly Abyss seemed to be Thorn Oak City, his eyes lit up.
¡°Old Two, you guys go ahead first, I have some things to deal with here!¡±
Dean said and then immediately focused his gaze on Gavin Grainger.
Looking at the shocked Gavin Grainger, Dean smacked his lips and nudged him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, back to your senses, pay your bills!¡±
¡°Bill¡ Bill?¡±
Gavin Grainger, who was shocked by the event of the Heavenly Abyss breaking, took some time to react: ¡°What bill?¡±
¡°What, you want to run from your bill?¡±
Dean¡¯s gaze turned menacing instantly. Gavin Grainger also immediately snapped back to reality.
¡°No, no, no, rest assured, I¡¯ve prepared what you need!¡±
Even though he was anxious about the breaking of the Heavenly Abyss, Gavin Grainger¡¯s intuition told him that if he dared not pay Dean first, the consequences facing him from Dean would be even more dangerous than the break of the Heavenly Abyss.
Soon, Gavin Grainger had prepared all 3000 legendary quality corpses.
At the same time, Gavin Grainger led Dean into the Alliance¡¯s Treasure Vault.
Dean happily entered the treasure vault, but as soon as he walked in, he frowned.
The things inside the vault were somewhat unexpectedly poor, with only over a hundred thousand purple gold coins and some items of Dark Gold Quality or below.
As for the Talent Stones, Dean only got his hands on 13 including the one from the middle-aged man earlier, still 17 short of a Talent upgrade.
Dean was not happy with this oue.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say your alliance has been collecting Talent Stones for the past many decades and centuries?
Is this all you¡¯ve collected?¡±
Gavin Grainger shook his head, indicating that he wouldn¡¯t take the me for this: ¡°There must be more, but those Talent Stones have already been sent away by Paul Hopperton and others, along with the awakened Talent users, to the Church of Holy Light outside the Heavenly Abyss!¡±
Hearing that the Church of Holy Light outside the Heavenly Abyss wants Talent Stones and awakened Talent users, Dean raised an eyebrow, ¡°What do they want Talent Stones and awakened Talent users for?¡±
¡°We don¡¯t know that, as we are not people sent by the Church of Holy Light. Even if people were sent by the Church of Holy Light, I suspect they might not know either.
They are just tools of the Church of Holy Light outside the Heavenly Abyss and probably do not have the qualifications to know core secrets!¡±
Saying this, Gavin Grainger paused, ¡°Right, the Heavenly Abyss that broke this time seemed to be one controlled by the Church of Holy Light!¡±
Dean nced at Gavin Grainger on hearing this.
His words were too tantly purposeful.
But Dean didn¡¯t mind. Compared to this, Dean was more interested in other things: ¡°You said just now that the Heavenly Abyss shouldn¡¯t break so soon. Do you mean you knew it was going to break?
Also, I heard you say as I was about to leave that there is a ¡®He¡¯ behind the Alliance. So, who is this ¡®He¡¯?¡±
As he spoke, Dean¡¯s gaze fell upon Gavin Grainger, and he locked eyes with him.
Dean was calm at this moment, but the immeasurable spiritual power in his eyes resembling a starry river gave Gavin Grainger immense pressure.
Under such extreme pressure, Gavin Grainger opened his attribute panel after a moment of silence and shared a purple gold mission for Dean to view.
Suddenly, everything in front of Dean was glowing purple gold.
¡
Mission: Purge the Gods, Guard the World
Mission Difficulty: World Ending
Description: The Heavenly Abyss is on the brink of breaking, and the gods outside the Heavenly Abyss are eyeing covetously. Please grow quickly, clean up any traces the gods have left in the world as soon as possible, and get ready to face the gods.
Note: Each time youplete a stage, your mission reward will be calcted.
If youplete the mission, there¡¯s even a possibility to achieve eternity.
¡
Looking at the mission in front of him, Dean squinted his eyes, ¡°How did you trigger this mission?¡±
¡°It appeared on its own after I became the president of the Alliance. It should be a mission given by Him!¡±
¡°Him? Who¡¯s ¡®Him¡¯? Who is He exactly?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know how to exin it, but you can understand ¡®Him¡¯ to be the will of the world we live in!
The Heavenly Abyss was set up by Him, and our previous missions to guard the Heavenly Abyss were given by Him.
My mission, as well as the mission from the breaking of the Heavenly Abyss just now, were all from Him!¡±
Dean squinted on hearing this, ¡°You¡¯re saying the world we live in has a will?¡±
¡°Yes!
ording to the secret information of the Alliance, this world does indeed have its own will.
Chapter 416: 234 Robbing thirteen churches, getting rich! _2
Chapter 416: 234 Robbing thirteen churches, getting rich! _2
This Will must belong to a God-level entity, and amongst God-level entities, it is one of the most extraordinary and powerful.
However, Its actions are constrained by certain rules, it cannot act directly and can only guide professionals through the issuance of tasks!
Last time, It likely sensed that the Heavenly Abyss was about to rupture, which is why it issued tasks of low difficulty, but with very generous rewards!
The purpose must have been to cultivate a group of powerful beings to cope with the rupture of the Heavenly Abyss that¡¯s happening now.
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie instantly raised an eyebrow: ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why did It only give me two or three tasksst time and stopped?
Isn¡¯t it better to give all the resources to me?
If I be stronger, can¡¯t I help It solve the problem of the Heavenly Abyss¡¯s rupture?¡±
¡°I think, It should be bound by the rules, unable to invest too many resources on one individual, otherwise It could easily cultivate gods.
Another reason could be that the power limit of this world isn¡¯t high.
The highest level limit is level 200, the Ninth-turn Peak. Even the existence of demi-gods cannot be cultivated, let alone anything else.¡±
¡°Is the level limit in this world so low?¡±
Dean McKenzie was taken aback.
This was the first time he knew there could be a level limit in this world.
However, having said that, afterpleting the job change this time, Dean McKenzie indeed felt restrained in this world.
It was as if he had infiltrated into his wife¡¯s favorite dress and dared not exert force for fear that the whole dress would be torn if he tried too hard.
Combined with Gavin Grainger¡¯s words, Dean McKenzie vaguely understood that perhaps his power had already touched the ceiling of this world.
At the same time, Dean identified a blind spot.
¡°Since the highest level limit in this world is level 200, what about the powers of those outsiders who broke into this world through the rupture of the Heavenly Abyss?¡±
Gavin Grainger affirmed: ¡°They can¡¯t exceed level 200 either, that¡¯s a rule. Those that exceed this limit will be expelled!¡±
Upon hearing this, Dean McKenzie felt instantly enlightened.
Since they won¡¯t exceed level 200, which means the strongest are only Ninth-turn Peak entities, who should Dean McKenzie fear?
Below the demigod, there¡¯s hardly any opponent that can¡¯t be dealt with by Dean McKenzie¡¯s Bone Fang.
If there is, just use a Corpse Explosion.
Well, maybe it¡¯s better not to use Corpse Explosion, otherwise not only might the enemies be gone, this world might not be able to withstand it either.
Upon realizing that he is invincible in this world, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze inevitably fell on Gavin Grainger¡¯s task board.
¡°Can you delegate this task to someone else?¡±
Frankly speaking, Dean McKenzie eyed this task.
Gavin Grainger was taken aback, delegate? How can it be delegated?
But before he could react, the system prompt in front of him refreshed.
[Do you want to delegate the task {Purge the Gods, Guard the World} to professional Dean McKenzie?]
Can it really be delegated?
Gavin Grainger was taken aback, and at the same time, Dean McKenzie¡¯s gaze instantly became dangerous.
¡°I¡¯ll do it right away!¡±
As he spoke, Gavin Grainger quickly delegated the task to Dean McKenzie.
Before long, the system prompt in front of Dean McKenzie refreshed.
[You have obtained the task [Purge the Gods, Guard the World]!]
Looking at the system prompt in front of him, and the purple-gold task bar, Dean McKenzie gave a satisfied nod.
Sessfully obtained an apocalyptic-level task, the reward should not be no small sum!
¡°You should have all the data on all the churches, right? Give them all to me!¡±
Dean McKenzie took this task very seriously and nned toplete the ¡®Purge the Gods¡¯ part of the task first.
¡°Alright!¡±
Gavin Grainger didn¡¯t dare to dy, he handed over the data to Dean McKenzie at the first instant.
¡°Alright, I¡¯llplete this task right now!¡±
After saying this, Dean McKenzie waved his hand, swept all the gold coins and purple gold coins from the Alliance treasure vault and turned to leave.
Gavin Grainger watched this scene, and after a moment of surprise, he hurriedly chased after him.
