Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

For the next two months, Lynn frequently checked on the condition of the fetus in Xixi's womb.

As the fetus gradually took shape, he confirmed one thing—there wasn't even a trace of the bloodline of the Starry Sky Beast in the child's body.

It seems unlikely that it will be possible to cultivate another descendant like Lin Chen who inherits the bloodline of the Starry Sky Beast.

However, the Night Song family was overjoyed.

Xixi's pregnancy is a great joy for the Yege family.

Regardless of a child's talent, as long as Lynn's blood flows in their veins, the family is essentially tied to a powerful, officially recognized wizard with astonishing potential, thus gaining a strong backer.

At least in the Valley of the Fallen Souls, the title of the official wizard of the Bone Spire is still extremely useful.

But Lynn strictly forbade them to publicize it, especially their own descendants, and to keep it strictly confidential.

One's reputation can sometimes be not only a powerful backer, but also a formidable enemy capable of destroying an entire family.

After all, the only enemy of a formal wizard is another formal wizard...

...

Not long after, Haske came to visit Lynn, and his attitude remained the same.

Clearly, he failed to notice the abnormality in Lynn and was unaware that he had already advanced to the second ring.

In the fortress's reception room, he exchanged pleasantries with Lynn as usual, recounting the latest developments at the outpost and in the surrounding area.

The Tower of Bones is a powerful institution, and all the surrounding forces depend on it for survival; no one dares to challenge it.

Therefore, the garrison mission is relatively safe. As long as it doesn't involve a war between forces of equal strength, one can generally remain safe until the end of their term.

Lynn did not bring up his promotion or his offspring.

Although these two things are important, I don't expect to throw a big banquet and collect money from guests, so why bring them up?

The matter of offspring, especially for a special individual like Lin Chen, should be known by as few people as possible until he has enough strength to crush all potential threats.

Haske's visit was not simply to reminisce, but to deliver materials.

Lynn had previously asked him to keep an eye out for the undead's advancement materials and to help them acquire them if they came across any.

Haske lived up to expectations, leveraging his connections to find several key ingredients.

With the handover complete, Lynn's savings were completely depleted...

Having achieved their goal, the two chatted casually for a few more minutes before seeing him off.

After Haske left, Lynn returned to his testing area, preparing to first improve the undead, and then figure out a way to earn some magic stones.

He produced some precious flesh and blood materials that he had collected through Haske's channels and family, including the active heart of a level 4 monster and the essence of mutated flesh and blood from the abyss.

These things wouldn't be considered particularly valuable in a monster forest or abyss battlefield.

But behind this safety, the price has increased considerably.

This is also a drawback for garrisoned wizards; although life is comfortable, acquiring resources is extremely difficult.

After arranging the flesh and blood materials one by one, the first step was to formally fuse Brother A with the swamp lord's venomous tentacles, which had already achieved a deep symbiotic relationship.

Catalyzed by death energy and a large amount of high-quality flesh and blood energy, the already close connection between the two was completely solidified and sublimated.

Brother A's body became even larger and more ferocious, covered with a dark purple hard carapace and constantly writhing, living flesh.

The tentacle then completely merged into its right arm, transforming into a terrifying weapon that could freely extend, split, and spray highly toxic acid.

After the two merged, their soul fluctuations stabilized at level 4, the Calamity level, becoming the "Flesh Calamity" with powerful melee combat, poison attacks, and terrifying regenerative abilities.

Put this new fusion away and let's get to today's main event.

Lynn has now been promoted to a second-circle wizard, and theoretically can control level 5 undead.

However, he advanced too quickly. Although his own undead had extremely high potential, they simply couldn't keep up with his advancement speed. Many of the undead were still stuck at level 3, unable to cross that threshold.

This can be considered a happy kind of trouble.

Rapid promotion, but lack of depth and experience.

I need to return to the academy to find another way to earn magic stones, and I'll need a powerful undead to protect me.

The main materials that Haske brought this time are the main materials for advancing to the Cataclysmic Undead.

This time, the one being promoted is not Megatron, the main force he has always relied on, nor the powerful Decepticons, Thing, or Tree.

Instead, it is the "Silent Reaper" who has never existed—Kayn.

It wasn't that he didn't want to advance the others, but rather that Megatron and Decepticons hadn't been advancing long enough to accumulate enough power to advance quickly.

Stone golems and giant trees are enormous in size and stronger than undead of the same rank, but they also require significantly more materials for advancement.

Moreover, they can only fight in open areas, which is quite restrictive.

Kayn is different; as a dual-form assassin, he already possesses extremely high potential.

Moreover, having always been by Lynn's side, he has absorbed some scraps from Lynn's research on the rules of the soul over the years, and has already reached the peak of level 4.

Lynn used some of the most precious materials at hand to enhance the essence of the soul and spatial affinity, and held a special advancement ceremony for him.

The process was uneventful. With the help of some analysis and Kayn's own accumulated knowledge, the advancement was a natural progression.

Finally, accompanied by a silent fluctuation that slightly distorted the surrounding space, Kayn successfully advanced to level 5 (Cataclysmic)!

[Target]: Silent Harvester

[Rank]: Level 5 Beginner (Catastrophe Level)

[Skills and Traits]:

1. Dual-state switching: ...

2. Soul Resistance: ...

3. Whispers of Death: ...

4. Shadow Strike: ...

5. The Realm of Silence: ...

6. Harvest marking: ...

7. Void Walk: In spirit form, one can briefly enter a shallow area between the main world and the void, achieving super-fast movement and becoming completely immune to attacks from non-regular dimensions during this time.

8. Flash of Annihilation: Consumes a large amount of soul energy to briefly merge the rules of "Silence" and "Spatial Cutting" into a scythe slash, causing a terrifying cutting and annihilation effect on all matter and energy it touches, ignoring conventional defenses.

[Potential Assessment]: Extremely high. Its dual-state characteristics and initial integration with silence and spatial rules give it excellent adaptability. If it can acquire higher-level spatial rule fragments or conceptual carriers related to "eternal silence," it has the potential to evolve into a level 6 [Void Annihilation Walker] or [Incarnation of the Law of Silence].

...

Looking at Kayn, who had completely merged into the spatial rift after advancing in rank, Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

While Kayn may not be as efficient as other undead in large-scale battles, he is unmatched in surprise attacks.

These assassin-type undead are extremely agile and difficult to defend against, but they are very effective against wizards.

With it by my side, I can say I have a trump card.
