Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

After breaching the royal city walls, the bone dragon carried Lynn into the sky above the royal city.

Below, countless undead poured in through the breach in the city wall, and no one could stop them anymore.

The streets were filled with fleeing crowds, screams, cries, and wails echoing among the burning buildings.

Some indigenous people seek a sense of security by hiding in simple houses.

But it's just a slow death.

The undead legion could easily smell the life force on them, and the simple houses could not stop the undead's attack.

A group of soldiers formed a square to try to resist the undead charge, but the skeletal bulls crashed into the formation from the side.

Its tail swept across, sending more than a dozen soldiers flying and crashing into the wall, where they were smashed into a bloody pulp.

An old man knelt before a burning house, cradling a small, lifeless body in his arms. He looked up to the sky and wailed, his voice filled with anguish.

A lava dog walked past him, and the heat emanating from its lava body instantly ignited him, causing the old man to scream as he turned to ashes.

In the sky, a colossal frost whale arrived at the battlefield, swooping down from the clouds, its frigid breath sweeping across a block of streets.

Hundreds of people who were fleeing for their lives were frozen into ice sculptures, frozen in place in their running posture.

Anger, fear, despair, resentment...

Countless negative emotions rose up, and then... converged deeper into the palace.

The bone dragon flew slowly, and Lynn looked down at the carnage below with a calm gaze.

He suddenly frowned.

Not right.

That's completely wrong!

How could these negative emotions converge in one place?

Moreover... souls and flesh from all over the world are also silently converging there!

Lynn closed his eyes, unleashed his full mental power, and together with the attracted souls, explored the depths of the royal city.

Deep within the royal city, beneath the ancient ruins of the old royal palace, an evil force is rapidly rising.

That power was strange, a mixture of countless negative emotions.

Anger, fear, despair, resentment... like countless threads twisted into a thick rope, getting tighter and tighter.

Lynn opened his eyes and [Analysis] locked onto that direction.

The surrounding air was filled with the souls of the recently deceased, the scattered essence of flesh and blood, and the fear and despair emanating from the living, all flowing in that direction in a strange way.

Like countless unseen streams, they converge towards the same source.

As those things continued to pour in, the evil aura grew stronger and stronger.

Middle section of the Third Ring Road.

The high-end of the Third Ring Road.

The pinnacle of the Third Ring Road...

Lynn's face darkened.

What the hell?! It leveled up so fast!

This kind of thing that forcibly improves itself by absorbing random things, although its strength is very weak, would be a problem if it were to actually be upgraded to the "Saint Mark" level.

Needless to say, this must be the kingdom's trump card for "mutual destruction".

It seems... to be some forbidden power that grows by absorbing death and fear.

Hey! This thing is quite ruthless. I've gone to great lengths to kill so many creatures, it would be a huge joke if I let it all get away with it.

"Dream on."

Lynn raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, as if communicating with the stars in the sky.

Starlight poured down from the sky, transforming into a pale silver curtain of light that instantly enveloped the entire royal city.

The light curtain closed from all sides, forming a huge sealing barrier.

The souls, essence of flesh and blood, and emotions of fear that were flowing toward the palace were all blocked when they collided with the light barrier, spinning in place and unable to move forward even an inch.

With the sealing complete, Lynn withdrew his hand and patted the bone dragon's head.

"Let's go and see what it is."

The bone dragon swooped down and flew towards the ruins of the royal palace.

Deep beneath the palace, a dark shadow was indulging in a high-energy act.

How many years? How many years has it been since we've had a proper meal?!

I remember the last time he made a move was three hundred years ago during a national crisis. Back then, he directly reached the peak of the Bright Moon level and wreaked havoc on all sides.

The world is far more chaotic now than it was then, and it can clearly hear the world's lamentations.

It seems the world has changed dramatically, and I'm about to return to my peak!

Suddenly, the evil spirit that was frantically absorbing power froze.

It has already reached that boundary.

Just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more, and I would have broken through that barrier and returned to the Bright Moon Realm.

But now... it can't suck it in anymore!

The continuous flow of delicious food suddenly stopped, as if someone had snatched the food away from its mouth.

It desperately tried to draw power from a greater distance, but a strange force sealed off the entire area.

The evil spirit let out an angry roar.

Who dares to stop its good deed!

It couldn't wait any longer.

Since I can't absorb it, I'll just go out and kill it myself.

Those who are alive, those who are fleeing for their lives, their flesh and souls are just as delicious.

The evil spirit's body twisted violently as it surged upwards from the depths of the earth.

Just as Lynn landed on the ruins of the royal palace, the ground suddenly exploded.

A dark gray figure burst out from underground, accompanied by a piercing shriek.

The thing looked like a constantly writhing cloud of mist, or like it was pieced together from countless distorted faces.

Within the fog, one could vaguely see struggling limbs, wailing faces, and countless pairs of eyes filled with resentment.

The evil spirit also saw Lynn.

It stopped, the fog shrank slightly, and then suddenly expanded.

It's this human!

He's the one who sealed this place off!

He stole my chance to break through!

The evil spirit let out a piercing shriek and pounced directly at Lynn.

Lynn didn't move; [Analysis] It started directly.
