Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Marfa walked through several corridors, past shops with old signs, without looking around or stopping, until she reached the entrance of "Magic Construct".

She pushed open the door and went in. Old Ke was standing behind the counter tidying up a stack of account books.

Hearing the door open, he looked up, paused for a moment when he saw who it was, and was about to ask a question when Marfa had already raised his hand.

A very thin, silvery-white light shone from her fingertips, like an invisible needle.

The needle silently pierced Old Keli's forehead, and Old Keli's eyes went blank for a moment, his body remaining in the position of holding the ledger.

Marfa walked to the counter and asked in a calm voice, "What did that person who came to see Lynn today say?"

Old Keli's lips moved mechanically: "He said he had a medium-sized world coordinate and sold it to Lord Lynn in exchange for a chance to make a move."

His voice was extremely mechanical, clearly indicating that his soul was being controlled by this "Soul Weaver".

A knowing glint flashed in Marfa's eyes, and he asked again, "What are the coordinates?"

Old Cole paused for a moment, his expression unchanged: "At that time, Lord Lynn used witchcraft to seal off the space, so the conversation couldn't be heard."

Marfa frowned slightly: "What does he look like?"

"Middle-aged, third-ring wizard, grey robe."

Marfa waited a while, and after confirming that there was no further information, she withdrew the silvery-white light.

Old Ke's eyes refocused. He looked down at the ledger in his hand, then looked up at the doorway, but only managed to see a gray figure disappear into the shadows outside the door frame.

Marfa returned to the lab, closed the door, and stood silently in front of the desk for a while.

She glanced at the gray-black sky outside the window, then at the stack of unprocessed documents on the table.

She could have gone to the third-ring wizard and gotten the coordinates from him, but she didn't.

A third-circle wizard operating in the border region wouldn't stay in one place for too long. Even if she went to look for her now, she might not be able to find her, and the process of searching would likely attract attention.

Lynn has just left the academy, and her whereabouts are still relatively clear. If she were to mobilize a large number of people to inquire about the whereabouts of a third-circle wizard now, it would be easy to expose her intentions.

She didn't want to alert the enemy unless absolutely necessary.

The most important thing is... she's not ready yet.

Marfa sat down at the desk, her fingers tapping erratically on the surface.

She needed Lynn to leave the academy so that the arrangements could be made outside.

But this time Lynn acted too quickly; so quickly that before she could even coordinate with her team, he was already out of her sight.

By the time the next message comes back, he may have already returned from that world.

Marfa was getting anxious when she thought about Lynn's terrifying rate of improvement.

This hidden danger must be resolved as soon as possible; we cannot delay any longer!

She picked up her pen and unfolded the parchment again, adding another line of annotation next to the names she had written down earlier.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he paused slightly with his pen, and then wrote four words on the paper.

"The Egg of Chaos"!

There's no time to hesitate any longer.

So what if we collude with evil forces that everyone condemns? As long as we do things cleanly, there won't be any hidden dangers.

Besides... the "Bone Spire" itself isn't anything good; it's just that it's less harmful to the wizarding world compared to the "Chaos Egg."

"The Tower of Dry Bones" was a vassal state during the Warring States period. It would usually wage civil war against other vassal states, but would unite against any foreign invasion.

The "Egg of Chaos" is nothing less than a "collaborator," a "puppet army," and a "traitor"!

Instead of fighting against foreign enemies, they helped them invade their own territory.

This kind of force is truly hateful.

Unfortunately, these vermin are too slippery, and with the help of the abyss demons, they have been able to roam freely until now.

...

Lynn rode the Chaos Dragon through the void for six days before finally approaching the coordinates.

For six days, the dragon never stopped, flying at full speed and covering an unknown distance.

This made him wonder how long Walker had flown and how he had "accidentally" discovered this world.

Walker is probably hiding something, has his own little secrets, and the thing he's asking him to do isn't simple.

Lynn sat on the back of the giant dragon, whose body traced a straight line in the void, surrounded by vast darkness and sparse starlight in the distance.

On the evening of the sixth day, the Chaos Dragon began to slow down.

Before me lay emptiness, no world, no barrier, only a gray-black void and a few distant stars.

Yet there was still no trace of a "world".

The Chaos Dragon stopped, flapped its wings, hovered in mid-air, and turned to look at Lynn.

It sensed Lynn's consciousness, but it found nothing.

Lynn stood on the dragon's back, his gaze sweeping across the void in front of him, and then extending his mental power to investigate.

There was no barrier touched, no energy fluctuations sensed, and the entire area was as empty as if nothing had ever existed there.

Lynn frowned. Walker was risking offending a Stigmata Wizard by lying?

No, he didn't appear to be lying at the time, as his mental state didn't suggest he was.

No matter how mysterious he is, with the methods of "Holy Marks" and my connections as the "enlightener", even if he runs into the "Holy Flame Judgment" Academy, I can still find him!

Surely it can't just happen to be a giant cosmic beast that happens to pass by and suffocates the world in one gulp, right?

Or... has the world been hidden?

Lynn didn't leave immediately; he closed his eyes and activated his "cheat code."

With full resolution enabled, 500 workstations are operating simultaneously.

At the same time, mental energy transformed into fine tentacles, extending in all directions like a spider web, touching every fold of space, every trace of residual energy, and every fluctuation of breath.

Time passed slowly, and the analysis workstation gradually advanced in the void until it found an extremely minor discordant point.

It looked like a patch of water that had been replenished; you couldn't tell unless you looked closely.

Lynn's gaze locked onto that area, analyzing it in detail.

The analyzed panel unfolded in his mind.

There was an unnamed magic circle in that area, with a complex structure but a clear concept, like a meticulously drawn engineering blueprint.

...

[Target: Large-scale composite alchemical concealment array]

[Composition: The structure consists of three nested layers: a space distortion rune at the core, an energy neutralization rune as an auxiliary layer, and a world barrier camouflage rune on the outer layer. These layers support each other and form a complete camouflage structure.]

[Effect: Conceals energy fluctuations from the inner world barrier, distorts external vision and perception, making the world appear as an ordinary void.]

[Number of array nodes: Seven, arranged in a regular heptagon, each inlaid with an energy crystal, and regularly maintained by a high-level alchemist.]

[Note: This alchemical array continuously consumes energy extracted from its internal world; the consumption is small, but it operates year-round.]
