Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Another soul-piercing attack missed its mark, and Morpheus grew even angrier.

Lynn's figure leaped out from the shadows behind him, his spatial blade slashing horizontally!

Morpheus's Soul Shield activated in response, but just before the blade touched him, a sudden numbness gripped the depths of his soul—

[Soul torn apart].

Another "light stab" that forcibly interrupts the spellcasting rhythm.

But in Lynn's hands, the timing of this thrust was terrifyingly precise, precisely at the moment when his mental energy was flowing back and his shield was at its weakest.

The Soul Shield was delayed for half a breath.

The blade has arrived.

The second head flew up.

Morpheus's vision spun, he fell, and darkness descended.

Before his consciousness sank into darkness, he mustered his last ounce of willpower and activated the second substitution contract.

Another level 5 main soul opened its eyes and pulled him back from the brink of death.

Morpheus was resurrected, but his life force had weakened by nearly half.

His life-saving trump card, which he had refined for forty years, was completely exhausted in the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

And he... no longer has a third main soul!

He looked up at the figure that was faintly visible in the mist, and for the first time, he felt the urge to retreat.

What kind of monster is this? Did it really just advance to the second ring?

This was the first time he had ever seen such a plan.

Is this still a dark wizard? Isn't this just a pure space assassin?

But... he was completely helpless against this spatial assassin!

Their witchcraft is inferior, their physical abilities are inferior, and their combat skills are far inferior!

If I can't take him down this time, I'll never have the chance to do it again.

But...do I really still have a chance today?

"Stop him!" Morpheus shouted, but he had already turned around and rushed towards the edge of the magic array.

Let's save our lives first; at worst, we'll just stay in the academy forever!

The undead belonging to Morpheus swarmed towards Lynn, willing to self-destruct in order to buy time.

Lynn did not give chase.

He simply raised his hand, and another [Soul Tear] shot out.

At the same time, Kayn leaped out of the void, his scythe aimed directly at Morpheus's back.

Morpheus turned to block, only to see Kayn vanish mid-strike, his scythe piercing through Morpheus's soul shield and leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash in his chest.

He let out a scream and staggered.

This undead spirit, whom he once looked down upon, ultimately caused him considerable harm.

This level of damage, however small, can be fatal on a perilous battlefield!

While the other undead besieged Lynn, his undead were freed and turned their attacks on Morpheus.

Megatron's lava breath sealed his left side, Decepticon's Thousand Soul Chains wrapped around his right leg, Earth Rider's hammer shattered his kneecap, Gu Erdan's curse slowed his mind for half a breath, and A-Ge's tentacles pierced through his abdomen.

Lynn arrived through the mist, the blade of space pressed against his throat.

Morpheus opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But... the blade pierced through decisively, giving him no chance to speak.

Lynn wouldn't give his enemies time to talk trash. If they really wanted to, he'd wait until he'd extracted their soul, then they could talk later...

The third head fell to the ground, and this time, no main soul resurrected him.

Lynn sheathed his sword and let out a long breath.

It's finally solved!

He looked down at the corpse that had finally lost all life, his tone calm:

"We have no enmity with each other, but since I enrolled in school, you have been constantly causing me trouble. Three years ago, you even sent someone to kill me."

"Could you... have imagined this day would come?"

"This time, I finally won."

Morpheus was unable to respond; his soul transformed into a glimmer of light, attempting to escape.

But Lynn wouldn't give him a chance; his soul power transformed into a cage, trapping him firmly.

The glimmer of light transformed into Morpheus's face, revealing an expression of terror and pleading.

"Spare me, my lab..."

Lynn didn't listen to him. Without hesitation, she placed several layers of seals on the body and then carefully placed it, along with the corpse, into the midst of the undead.

We can just remake it later; we can do whatever secrets we have.

A veteran second-ring wizard specializing in soul magic could try crafting a lich...

After dealing with Morpheus's body, Lynn had no further thoughts and turned to clean up the battlefield.

The five apprentices were now limp on the ground, and the twelve bone pillars that formed the "Breathless" witch array slowly went out after losing their energy support.

The apprentices witnessed their mentor's death and were completely mentally broken.

But...they did not try to escape...

The difference between wizards and apprentices is vast; if even their own mentors couldn't escape, how could they possibly escape?

Lynn had no interest in interrogating them, nor was there anything worth asking, since the mastermind was already dead.

The soul was extracted and the body was stored away; the entire process was completed in one go.

Morpheus's undead army fell into chaos after his death.

As their master perished, the spirits whose souls were deeply bound to him experienced a violent surge of soul fire, descending into madness.

Lynn didn't waste them, after all, they were all high-quality undead.

Using soul magic to suppress the undead, and combined with the [Heart of Star Reign], he suppressed the soul fire cores of these undead one by one, collecting them all into the undead space.

I acquired three level 5 and five level 4 animals.

It's always faster to double-cross someone. Normally, you might not encounter a single wild Cataclysmic Undead even after wandering around for half a month or a month, but this time you caught three at once.

It's a pity that Morpheus's two peak level 5 main souls were consumed by him, otherwise it would have been perfect.

Morpheus's spatial equipment was also brutally broken through the restrictions using his mental power. Inside were piles of high-level souls, unused advancement materials, tens of thousands of magic stones, and several magical artifacts he had cherished in his lifetime...

They've all changed owners now.

After taking out Morpheus's nameplate, Lynn hesitated for a moment before deciding not to probe it with his mental energy.

Although we don't know how many contribution points are inside, now is not the time to be greedy.

There is a significant difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice. Each one is the academy's most valuable resource, and Morpheus, with his expertise in the spiritual realm, holds a high position within the academy.

I should go back and tell my master's wife that Morpheus and his apprentices' sneak attack failed, and I had no choice but to fight back and kill them.

Anyway, we're in the right, so what are we afraid of?

Even if the academy uncovers the truth, or even tries to read his memories, he is not afraid.

Of course, it's impossible to let them read your memories.

Want to access Morpheus's memories?

Sorry, I couldn't control myself and accidentally destroyed it. Now it's completely gone.

Giving the soul to those few apprentices was already more than enough.

The outcome is the same anyway; my only advantage is my sharp rebuttal, and I'm in the right!

After Lynn finished counting, he put away the twelve bone stakes, erased the traces of the witch array, and put all the newly subdued undead into the undead space before leisurely heading deeper into the rotten abyss.

Behind them, the rift valley remained as silent as ever, as if nothing had ever happened.
