In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 43 Second Life: You can even charm skeletons?
The burial ground, the blood-red castle.

Lu Yuan propped his head up with one hand as he sat on a throne made of white bones.

A small, round-headed spider was lying at his feet, yawning.

And below the throne.

Then stood a burly, three-meter-tall skeletal tyrant.

A headless knight commander clad in heavy armor, with crimson flames emanating from his neck.

And several high-ranking skeleton warriors and swordsmen.

A woman with a voluptuous figure and long, flowing hair stood trembling in the middle of the hall.

He seemed out of place among the group of skeletons.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a long black dress, and had the air of royalty.

But she had goat horns on her head.

Behind her were a pair of black bat wings and a tail covered with fine scales.

no doubt.

This is a succubus.

"My lord, I am merely the castle steward and know nothing. Please spare my life!"

The woman was crying with tears streaming down her face; she was clearly terrified.

She looked pitiful and was very endearing.

If it were an ordinary person who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, they might have been deceived by her.

But Lu Yuan has decades of experience in simulations, so he's not so easily fooled.

"You're a skeleton, and you want a succubus as your butler?"

Lu Yuan looked at the Skeleton Tyrant with a strange expression.

"Master, her name is Lucia. She is an orphan of the Abyss Demon Clan who was lost and wandered. After her bloodline is activated, she will become very powerful."

"Moreover, she was very capable, having single-handedly formed the Headless Knights."

The Skeleton Tyrant answered, word by word.

"An immature abyssal succubus?"

Lu Yuan stared at Lucia, having made up his mind.

You can't believe a single word that comes out of a succubus's mouth.

If we want to keep her here, there is only one way.

"Clang!"

Lu Yuan stood up from the throne and drew his Frost Sword.

"My lord, please..."

Lucia seemed to have foreseen her fate and trembled with fear.

Although she is a succubus, she has not yet awakened her bloodline power and is extremely unskilled in combat.

not to mention.

The Skeleton Tyrant and the Headless Horseman Commander were also nearby, eyeing them menacingly.

She had absolutely no room to escape.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be gentle."

While talking.

Lu Yuan stepped down from the bone throne and embraced Lucia.

He held the sword in his right hand and pierced her heart directly.

"boom!"

Lucia died with her eyes wide open, lying in a pool of blood.

But next second.

A six-pointed star magic circle appeared.

All the blood was absorbed by the corpse.

Lucia's body gradually floated up from the ground and hovered in the air.

However, this conversion process took a bit long.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her facial features were contorted, and her body was curled up like a shrimp, as if she were enduring immense pain.

The light from the six-pointed star array flickered, but it failed to convert the object successfully for a long time.

It was as if some force was forcibly resisting the mark of the [Undead Scourge].

Sudden.

A terrifying energy surge suddenly erupted from Lucia's body, forming a black pillar of light that shot into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Moreover, this darkness was extremely dense and pure, far more powerful than the power of the abyss, as if it came from the deepest hell!

Under the impact of energy.

The Skeleton Tyrant and several other commanders were all thrown away.

Before the weaker third-tier skeleton warriors could react, the crimson soul fire in their eye sockets was instantly extinguished, turning them into piles of white bones.

Only Lu Yuan remained standing.

However, the crimson soul fire in his eye sockets shook violently, clearly indicating that he had also suffered a considerable impact.

"Is this the bloodline power of the Abyss Demons?"

Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

This was the first time he had ever seen anyone who could resist the power of the [Undead Scourge].

this means.

The bloodline of this succubus is definitely not as simple as that of an abyssal demon!
But the [Undead Scourge] is a god-level talent, so how could it be easily resisted?

This is why Lu Yuan has never practiced any magic and his soul strength is too weak.

If he is a necromancer or a dark sorcerer.

With just a thought, one could enslave this succubus in an instant.

Think of this.

Lu Yuan's obsession with becoming a mage deepened.

And the other side.

With Lucia's bloodline power activated, the Cataclysm transformation ritual reached a stalemate, especially with the appearance of the dark pillar of light.

Everyone present experienced auditory hallucinations, as if thousands of demons were whispering in their ears, making them want to sink into darkness forever.

As many of the Calamity Skeletons could no longer contain their negative emotions and began to kill each other, they lost control.

The six-pointed star magic circle suddenly shone brightly, drawing in the power of all elements and condensing it into profound patterns, imprinting them on every inch of Lucia's flesh and bones.

Ultimately, a mark of enslavement formed deep within her soul.

next second.

Lucia suddenly opened her eyes.

Compared to before.

Having activated her demon bloodline, she shed some of her naivety and gained a touch of maturity and allure.

She was voluptuous and stunningly beautiful, truly a rare beauty.

With every frown and smile.

With just one glance, she can captivate all beings and make them completely fall for her.

A group of skeletons stared at her longingly, their crimson soul flames flickering, conveying a primal desire.

Well known.

Succubi are renowned throughout the myriad realms for their captivating beauty.

But Lu Yuan never expected this.

This succubus can even bewitch skeletons!

"Your subordinate, Lucia Tian, ​​greets your master!"

She knelt on one knee, looking at Lu Yuan with respectful eyes.

Her voice was soft and gentle.

It felt like a cat's claws were tickling his heart and liver, making Lu Yuan's bones melt.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, which allowed him to barely calm down.

Don't you hate me?

Lu Yuan asked curiously.

"Your subordinate dares not. It was the master who gave me a new life and allowed me to see a wider world."

Lucia's tone was fervent.

Her beautiful eyes were full of little stars.

After being transformed by the [Undead Scourge].

In her heart, Lu Yuan held a position akin to that of a god.

Even if it meant going through fire and water.

Lucia would not hesitate at all.

"From now on, you will be the steward of the Scourge."

Lu Yuan gave the instructions.

The Skeleton Tyrant is nothing but a brute.

Lucia managed the Crimson Castle with great efficiency and built a headless knightly order of over five thousand men.

He is clearly very capable.

"You can mobilize all resources and manpower."

"But I want you to expand the Headless Knights to ten thousand men within two months."

"At all costs and by all means!"

The second-tier skeleton warriors were nothing more than cannon fodder in front of that bone dragon.

Only the Headless Knights could pose a threat to it.

"I obey my orders."

Lucia bowed gracefully, her figure accentuated by the graceful curves of her body.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Subsequently.

He began to take stock of the spoils of the battle.

The Skeleton Tyrant is war-loving and has little interest in gold and silver.

Instead, they acquired a large number of weapons, armor, and heavy crossbows from the dwarf kingdom.

These well-made equipment pieces can indeed enhance the legion's combat power.

Besides.

In the treasure vault of the Crimson Castle, Lu Yuan finally found what he had been dreaming of.

Several basic mage scrolls!

In this magical world.

A mage is someone who stands at the very top of the pyramid.

They held a prestigious position, and even the royal family had to rely on the power of the sorcerers.

Mages strictly forbid mortals from learning magic on their own.

If an ordinary person wants to become a mage...

The only way.

They would go to a mage academy and, after passing numerous tests, become a magic apprentice.

But Lu Yuan is a skeleton.

This path was clearly a dead end for him.

Although these magic scrolls have...

It only records a few of the most basic and lowest-level spells.

But Lu Yuan treated it as a treasure and immediately began to peruse it.

But it didn't take long.

Lu Yuan then discovered a cruel truth.

Without elemental affinity, I can't cultivate human magic at all!
