Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 42 William's Diary
"Bring me the book."

The cannon fodder skeleton is the most suitable for exploring traps. Wang Yue stood in a safe position and watched the skeleton open the iron cage and let it step in alone.

The skeleton who received the order grabbed the iron railing with both hands. The moment the white bone toes stepped in, black lightning struck from the ground and blew the skeleton's body into pieces.

[Trigger Trap: Shadow Bomb]

[Basic Skeleton Damage: 999]

[Your summon has died]

"I knew it was a scam."

Wang Yue was about to move forward, but then retracted her leg.

He remembered that there might be more than one trap here, so he summoned another cannon fodder.

"You go."

Wang Yue waved his hand and the skeleton immediately moved forward.

After it stepped into the iron cage, it received the same treatment. It was blown away by the shadow bomb after taking only two steps.

"I don't believe it anymore."

Since the mana was not enough to summon, Wang Yue took out a piece of bone from the package and used [Dark Energy Extraction] to quickly restore the mana.

Skeletons came one after another and used their lives to carve out a path in the iron prison.

"Come again, come again..."

Wang Yue kept repeating the same action, reaching into the package to take out the bone fragments, and then using the mana restored by the bone fragments to summon skeletons.

"I should write a script to control my operations. It's too tiring to move around all the time."

Different spells require different movements to maintain, and not only does his mana consume too much, but even his physical strength begins to decrease.

He had lost count of how many times he had summoned it. When there was only one piece of bone left, the white [Web-Spinning Spider] had quietly come to his side.

"Hungry…"

Wang Yue glanced at the spider, then looked at the location of the book in the iron cage.

He threw the last bone fragment to the spider, then turned and walked towards the storage room to replenish ammunition.

"It's not difficult to take it away, but it takes a lot of time."

When he was about to step onto the stairs, the [Web Spider] spit out spider silk and stuck to Wang Yue's feet.

[Sticky Spider Web: Because of the spider's web, you are temporarily unable to move and are trapped in place.]

[Duration: 5 seconds]

"Book... take it..."

The spider moved towards the iron cage, and Wang Yue stretched out her hand and shouted to stop it.

"Don't go and die."

However, the spider only stopped outside the iron cage. White spider silk shot out from its mouth towards the book in the center of the iron cage, sticking to the book with its extremely strong adhesion.

The spider turned its head and swung it, dragging the book out of the cell.

"Beautiful, it seems you didn't eat my food in vain."

The spider dragged the book aside and continued to spin silk to capture the bones in the iron cage.

The killed [Basic Skeleton] will not drop any items, but the dead skeletal remains will remain in place, and the [Web Spider] can drag the remains in front of itself and then feast on them.

"Great! It's possible to recycle waste."

The restraining effect on Wang Yue had been lifted. He picked up William's diary, simply shook off the spider silk on the cover, and then began to read other people's diaries.

"Let me read your story..."

……

This diary is too thick. Even if I can recognize the contents of the book, it will take a long time to read it all.

Even with the system translating the words in the book, Wang Yue could only read in jumps.

"I'll read the first ten pages first, then the middle few pages, and finally the ending. That's when I'll finish reading the book."

Reading in a self-deceptive way is very effective. Wang Yue has tried this method many times and it has worked for her, especially when dealing with the reading requirements of school teachers.

As long as you don't have an in-depth conversation, most people won't be able to see through you. Improving your own style on a date is very effective.

However, Wang Yue has not gone on a single date, so it is still just paper talk for now.

"Let me check..."

Wang Yue turned to a page with fewer words, and he seemed to see his own shadow in the book.

"Year 411, practicing the spirit of death."

"Year 412, practicing the spirit of death."

...

"Year 436, practicing the spirit of death."

The first few pages were all monotonous practice content. Wang Yue could see that William was very hardworking and there was never any mention of entertainment-related content in his diary.

"Could it be that even the vampires are starting to become inward-looking?"

Wang Yue thought again and realized that it might be because of the game settings that this vampire William floating on the sea had no entertainment activities to engage in.

He quickly turned to the middle of the diary. Not only was there more text, but there was also less content about practicing magic.

"In 453, the chief of the lobster people duelled with me, and I won the right to rule over them. I can have an extra meal every day."

"In 454, I intercepted a merchant ship and obtained a spider. My necromancy experiments can finally begin."

"In 455, the necromancy experiment was not very successful. The butler advised me to prioritize reproduction, but I refused him. Women would only affect my experiments."

The middle part is an ambitious attempt. The diary records some insights into necromancy, but the experimental process is too bloody and brutal, similar to modern biological experiments.

"Anyway, I can watch it later and learn slowly later."

You can delay it as long as you can. There is no need to work so hard in the gaming world.

Wang Yue skipped the part about studying necromancy and came to the end of the diary.

"In 478, an evil dragon visited my castle. She didn't look well, and the curse on her was too strong. I couldn't handle it alone."

"In 479, her curse took effect. The evil dragon broke into the castle and took away my experimental subjects. This is unforgivable and a heinous crime."

"480 years later, the racial disadvantage is too obvious. I must conserve my strength. My soul is split. Oh, my soul is stacked."

By the end of the diary, Wang Yue roughly knew what had happened in the castle in recent decades.

William, a vampire who loves necromancy, meets the blue dragon Miffy. Due to his lack of strength, he is forced to use magic to split his soul. One half is hidden in Sith, and the other half is combined with the dragon's curse.

"So his goal is to wait until the dragon's curse takes effect and then take over her body?"

This vampire seemed to be open-minded and didn't care at all that she had changed from a man to a woman.

There was no bottom line in what he did, and the messenger of justice Wang Yue was determined to get rid of this disgusting guy.

"According to the script, I will now hand the book over to the Sith. Once they see the diary, they will know the next plan."

Wang Yue looked at the spider again. The little spider was still chewing the bone with relish.

"But there's no mention of this spider in the script."

Spiders have become friendly units, and a spider can have limited conversations, which may still be useful in the future.

"Goodbye, Spider-Man."

Wang Yue waved goodbye to it.

……

Pressing the teleportation pocket watch, he returned from the [dungeon] to the [sanctuary] and stood at the captain's doorstep again.

This time, the door of Captain Peter's cabin was open, and it was empty inside.

Wang Yue turned around and saw the [Dead Sailors] lined up in three rows. The [Dead Boatswain] he was familiar with was also in the queue.

The half-body captain held up a skull-headed Sith and stood at the front of the team, while support staff such as leatherworkers stood at the back.

"We're finally going to have our final battle. Right?"

"Yes."
