Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

"What?!"

Horton was shocked. He never expected that a first-class apprentice would possess such a powerful death knight!

He only had time to roll to the side in his haste, narrowly avoiding the warhorse's head-on collision, but the shockwave from the trampling still made him lose his balance.

At the same time, the Death Knight's bone greatsword swept across with a fierce whistling sound!

Horton rolled over again in a disheveled state, urgently summoning his two undead guards.

One is a level 2 skeleton guard wielding a bone shield, and the other is a level 1 ghoul that moves swiftly.

Just as the Bone Guardian raised his bone shield, the Death Knight brought down a powerful sword strike, shattering the sturdy bone shield into pieces!

The ghoul screamed and lunged at the Death Knight, only to be kicked away by the skeletal warhorse and slammed hard against the wall.

Horton was dumbfounded; his undead were utterly helpless against the death knight!

Horton ordered two undead guards to hold the Death Knight tightly, preparing to personally finish off Lynn.

In order to eliminate Lynn as soon as possible, he immediately developed his signature skill—the apprentice-level [Bone Spear Technique].

Negative energy rapidly condensed, forming a two-meter-long pale bone spear in front of him.

Before Horton could even aim, Lynn preemptively cast [Weak Soul Impact], interrupting his spellcasting.

Horton felt a sudden dizziness, and the nascent form of witchcraft in his hand quickly disintegrated.

"How is that possible?!"

Horton was terrified; he hadn't expected that this kid's level zero trick could affect him.

You should know that when you are promoted to second-class apprentice, your body undergoes a cleansing process of negative energy, which greatly enhances your resistance to spiritual and soul-based witchcraft.

But now his spellcasting was interrupted by a level zero trick performed by a first-class apprentice!

Is this reasonable?

Horton tried desperately to cast his apprentice-level sorcery, but Lynn gave him no chance. Every time the sorcery was about to take shape, it was interrupted by a soul shock.

Horton stopped worrying and instead used a simpler and faster level zero trick.

This method was indeed effective; the casting speed of a level zero spell was extremely fast, and Lynn had no time to interrupt him.

[Osteodental Surgery]

Three pale bone teeth, arranged in a "品" shape, shot swiftly toward Lynn.

But then this brat pulled out a bone shield from somewhere and held it in front of him. His bone teeth pierced the shield, but he couldn't break through it.

Lynn then stood firmly at the dormitory entrance, curled up behind the bone shield, letting Horton cast his spells.

Level zero magic has limited power and cannot break through the bone shield at all. Horton has been busy for a long time, but Lynn is leisurely and unharmed.

This infuriated Horton, who then secretly began preparing to build an apprentice-level sorcery.

Lynn noticed the magic trick had suddenly stopped, and cautiously peeked out, only to see Horton grinning maliciously, the bone spear in his hand already formed.

"Go to hell, you bedbug!"

Horton aimed at Lynn, ready to unleash his massive member.

He was confident that Lynn's bone shield wouldn't be able to stop his apprentice-level bone spear!

Horton could almost see the amazing scene of the bone spear impaling Lynn and the bone shield.

That would be absolutely nice!

But Horton, caught up in his excitement, didn’t notice that the shadow behind him twisted.

Wu Liuqi appeared like a ghost!

[Shadow Strike] activated!

Take this!

The pitch-black bone dagger pierced Horton's back silently, with incredible speed!

Horton felt a chill run down his spine; the intense sense of impending death made his hair stand on end.

He desperately tried to gather negative energy and channel it into the [Skeleton Armor] to strengthen its defenses, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced through the thin bone armor with precision and plunged deep into Horton's heart!

The intense pain and the accompanying spiritual interference instantly froze him, leaving his mind blank.

When Horton came to his senses, he felt his life force rapidly draining away.

His eyes were wide open, filled with despair.

This...how is this possible!

Wu Liuqi didn't hesitate; he plunged the bone dagger directly into Horton's throat, ending his life.

The battle lasted only a dozen or so breaths from start to finish.

Horton didn't even pose any effective threat to Lynn, and his diligently practiced apprentice-level sorcery had no effect whatsoever.

This is the awkward situation of a wizard's apprentice.

Although they have certain methods, they are difficult to exert their full combat power if they are specifically targeted.

If Horton's Bone Spear spell were to actually fire, Lynn's Bone Shield would likely be pierced through.

This also allowed Lynn to summarize his combat experience.

Make sure to prepare several bone shields in your "space ring" or even a solid defensive block.

Without their master's control, the ghouls and skeleton guards went completely berserk and were eventually dismantled into parts by the Death Knight and Wu Liuqi, with their soul fire collected by Lynn.

Upon seeing Horton's body, Lynn immediately stepped forward and skillfully began to examine the corpse.

Um...

Eight magic stones... 104 contribution points...

There are also some inexpensive materials.

There is nothing else besides that.

Poor bastard!

Lynn spat at Horton.

This guy doesn't even have a spatial ring or a way to store undead equipment, so he must have learned some kind of witchcraft called "Undead Space".

He folded Horton's body and put it into his spatial ring with great speed.

Lynn glanced around the messy room and frowned slightly.

This appearance won't fool the next "fat fish" when it's his own hunting ground.

"Next time we need to find a more spacious place as the hunting ground; this place is too restrictive for the Death Knight's performance."

Lynn muttered something under his breath, then began quickly cleaning up the traces of the battle, only stopping when things were almost completely restored.

Back in the lab, he busied himself with placing Horton's body on the workbench, which earned him another eye roll from Gregor.

Is this kid up to no good lately, killing and robbing people?

A first-class apprentice killed two second-class apprentices in two days. If this achievement were to be revealed, it would shock countless people.

Gregor felt he'd be cleaning up this kid's messes from now on...

After disposing of Horton's body, place it together with Holm's body, preparing to either turn it into a ghost or sell it later.

Now, controlling Wu Liuqi and Death Knight is already at its limit, and during battles, I have to give up control of Death Knight and let it fight on its own.

If another one comes, we might not be able to handle it. What if we don't eliminate the enemy before our own undead start fighting each other?

Anyway, I'm not far from becoming a second-class apprentice. It won't be too late to choose an apprentice-level sorcery that controls the undead and increase the number of undead then.

Hmm... I still need to squeeze more out of my mentor.

As Gregor was writing and drawing on the bone plate, he suddenly felt a covetous gaze.

Turning his head, he saw Lynn staring straight at him.

"No...you just do your thing, why are you looking at me? Do I have runes on my face?"

Lynn said quietly, "My dear mentor, I've been providing you with quite a few new ideas lately..."

Gregor raised an eyebrow slightly.

"so?"

"So it's not unreasonable for students to make some small requests, is it?"

Lynn revealed his true intentions, aiming directly at Gregor's purse.
