Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

A simplified attribute panel appeared on Lynn's retina:

Name: Lynn

[Mental Strength]: 19 points

[Bloodline]: Human (100%)

[Status]: Mild soul disturbance (abnormal)

[Prompt]: A weak external force has been detected continuously pulling on the host's soul. The source is located nearby (within a one-meter radius).

A soul being drawn?!

Lynn was shocked, his gaze instantly turning dangerous as he began to carefully examine himself and his surroundings.

His gaze swept over the stone bed, the ground, the walls...

When Kevin saw Lynn suddenly stop meditating and start looking around, a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.

His eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Lynn's stone bed.

This little trick didn't escape Lynn's eyes!

He suddenly sat up and lifted the covers to carefully examine the stone bed beneath him.

Soon, he discovered the newly smoothed-out mark in the center.

A wisp of negative energy gathered at the fingertip, and with a gentle stroke, the adhesive peeled off, revealing the gray-black stone underneath!

Something's definitely fishy!

Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Kevin panicked and quickly explained, "Lynn, I was just trying to joke with you..."

Lynn ignored his explanation and threw Wu Liuqi directly from the bone ring.

A black shadowy figure instantly teleported behind Kevin, and two cold bone daggers pressed against his neck, raising goosebumps.

The threat of death made Kevin's body tremble uncontrollably.

After subduing Kevin, Lynn picked up his nameplate and carefully used the spire of the "Spirit of the Dead Bones" to pry the stone out.

Kevin kept explaining from the side.

"This is a 'Distraction Stone,' it doesn't cause any harm. I just wanted to use it to limit the effects of your meditation..."

"My meditation hasn't been very effective lately, so I asked my mentor to give me this stone..."

Lynn wasn't about to believe his nonsense so easily, and immediately activated the analysis function.

[Analysis] Target: Unknown stone!

[Item]: Disguised Flesh and Soul Stone (Inscribed with: Concealing Breath Magic Array, Soul Guiding Magic Array, Miniature Teleportation Magic Array)

[Effect]: Continuously releases faint soul fluctuations, subtly drawing the target's soul away from the body and storing it within the stone. When the soul absorption reaches a threshold or the host dies, the teleportation array will automatically activate, transporting the target back to the preset coordinates.

[WARNING]: This substance is extremely insidious. Prolonged contact with it will weaken the soul, cause it to leave the body, and ultimately lead to death!

...

The moment Lynn saw the analysis results, a chilling killing intent surged from the bottom of his heart!

This is no "Divine Distraction Stone" at all; it's clearly a death warrant! It's a vicious method designed to completely plunder his soul!

If I hadn't noticed the anomaly, I might have been subtly influenced and allowed him to succeed!

Lynn abruptly turned his head, his icy gaze piercing Kevin's pale face, his voice filled with ruthlessness:

"A Soul-Dividing Stone? This is a flesh and soul stone that absorbed my soul!"

"Kevin! What grudge do I hold against you that you would resort to such insidious means to kill me?!"

"No...it wasn't me! It was Mentor Morpheus! He gave it to me!"

Kevin was so terrified by Lynn's murderous aura that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, frantically explaining while tears streamed down his face.

"He said it was just a stone that was affecting your meditation... I... I didn't know it would be like this! Lynn, please forgive me, I didn't mean to..."

Morpheus mentor?

Morpheus, the Soul Reaper!

Lynn had seen his name when choosing a mentor; he was also a third-ring wizard, specializing in the study of souls and flesh.

No wonder she coveted him!

Lynn was horrified, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. It turned out that a formal wizard had attacked him from behind!

His first thought was to report it to the Soul Hunters so that the academy could uphold justice.

But he suppressed the thought as soon as it arose.

Will the college really stand up for itself?

Obviously not!

In this dark wizarding academy, the rules serve the strong.

In their eyes, apprentices were nothing more than "consumables," used up one batch after another.

Formal wizards are different; each one is the foundation of the academy's enduring strength and its most valuable asset.

How could the academy possibly punish a full-fledged third-ring wizard for the sake of a first-class apprentice like myself?

Potential is just potential; whether he can successfully become a formal wizard remains a big question mark.

At that time, Morpheus could completely deny it, or even turn the tables and accuse someone else.

Kevin's testimony is completely unreliable, and he might even be labeled as a false accuser and die even faster!

This must not be made public! This matter must be suppressed!

Let's pretend nothing happened and report back to Gregor later.

Lynn's gaze fell once again on Kevin, who was pleading for mercy.

This idiot was used as a pawn and almost lost his life!

Keeping him around will only cause trouble!

Moreover, he knows far too much...

My killing intent is set!

Without further hesitation, a fierce glint flashed in Lynn's eyes, and he directly commanded Wu Liuqi to take action!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Liuqi formed two bone daggers into a scissor shape and then lightly sliced ​​across his neck.

Caught completely off guard, Kevin's throat was instantly ripped open, and a large amount of blood gushed out, abruptly ending his pleas for mercy.

Kevin's eyes gradually became unfocused, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, breathing ceased a moment later.

He didn't understand why he had only just joined the wizarding academy, possessed considerable talent, and had a bright future ahead of him.

He could become a great wizard if he just worked harder.

Even though I was a victim myself, why did I lose my life so easily...?

Am I really just a loser?

...

Lynn's expression softened slightly as he watched Kevin's body gradually stiffen.

everything is over.

Just as he was preparing to dispose of the body, an accident occurred.

The black stone flew from Lynn's hand and shot into Kevin's body, drawing his soul directly into the stone.

Then a faint light flashed, the teleportation array on the black stone was activated, and the entire stone vanished into thin air in an instant.

Lynn had no time to react to the stone and could only watch helplessly as it disappeared.

Tsk... No wonder he's a certified wizard, he has so many tricks up his sleeve.

It seems this is Morpheus's backup plan. Even if he failed to kill Lynn, as long as Kevin dies, his soul will be transferred.

This means that even if one wanted to use witchcraft such as "the words of the dead" or "soul-searching magic" to read soul information, there would be no chance.

What a pity... this is a corpse with a talent for death affinity.

Since the corpse and soul were originally there, with some manipulation, they might be able to create a "Death Knight".

Now that the soul has been absorbed, the only option is to stuff the entire soul back in, which will greatly reduce the effectiveness of creating undead creatures.

Lynn gradually calmed down, violently folded Kevin's stiff corpse, and then stuffed it into the [Bone Ring].

Wu Liuqi could only try his best to curl up and barely manage to fit into the ring.
