Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Gregor stood at the center of the formation, muttering incantations as he rapidly traced several runes with his hands.

Lynn could sense that the spatial elements within the witch array were rapidly condensing, seemingly connecting to some other dimension.

The magic array shone brightly, and a nauseating stench of blood and chaotic life force surged from it.

As the light faded, a monster made entirely of writhing, proliferating, dark red flesh dripping with slime appeared in the formation.

It has no fixed shape, only a few wildly waving tentacles and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, exuding the ferocious aura of level 3 (leader level)!

This is a low-intelligence, flesh-and-blood monster that has been summoned; it is a chaotic creature from another world.

"Perfect timing. The experiment needs some 'highly active chaotic flesh and blood samples,' and summoning these is easy."

Gregor spoke casually, as if he were discussing what to eat for dinner.

He raised his thin, bony hand and pointed it at the newly formed fleshy monster in mid-air.

The flesh monster's massive body stiffened abruptly, then exploded like a rotten tomato struck by an invisible giant hammer!

Dark red flesh, shattered bones, and viscous bodily fluids were radiated outwards within the area of ​​the witch array, yet were restrained by the array's power and did not spill out.

The terrifying monster from a moment ago instantly transformed into a pile of steaming, energy-rich "mountains of flesh".

"Here, take this and feed your little one."

Gregor collected some flesh essence, then clapped his hands and turned to pick up his bone plate.

"After you're done feeding, clean this place up. Don't throw away the bones; grind them into powder and put them in the materials shelf. I'll come back to you later to discuss that energy node issue."

After saying that, he swayed back to his main experimental table and immersed himself once again in those complex formulas.

Lynn looked at the mountain of level 3 flesh and blood, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Is this the power of a formal wizard? He can summon level 3 flesh and blood monsters with a flick of his wrist and kill them instantly.

What a magnificent sight it would be if an army of the undead were summoned!

I wonder if this summoning array can connect to the Abyss or the Demon Realm, and summon a succubus or something.

Otherwise, an elf or a bunny girl would also work.

Hmm... Summoning magic sounds good, I need to learn it!

Lynn didn't delay any longer and deactivated the "Bone Wall" spell in the room. The apprentice's entire corpse was devoid of flesh and blood, and the pigeon was gnawing on the bones.

Having just been released, the meat pigeon was already aroused by the rich aura of flesh and blood, its soul fire burning fiercely. It stared greedily at the mountain of flesh, as if it had seen its life's faith.

The bone in his hand no longer tasted good, so he threw it on the ground.

What a piece of garbage!

Upon receiving Lynn's order, the meat pigeon pounced on the mountain of meat like a hungry wolf, frantically devouring and tearing at the large pile of high-quality flesh.

Its ashen body was covered in dark red slime and bits of flesh, but it didn't care.

[Thirst for Flesh and Blood] operates at full power, transforming the flesh and blood it devours into nutrients to strengthen itself.

After observing for a while and confirming that the "meat pigeon's" devouring process was stable and that the energy contained in the pile of flesh far exceeded what it needed for its current level, Lynn stopped guarding it.

He returned to his meditation corner and began his routine meditation to replenish the mental energy he had used up that day, and to continue his efforts to reach higher levels of mental energy.

About five hourglasses later, Lynn, who was meditating, felt a violent fluctuation in the mental connection from the "meat pigeon," which then became much stronger.

He interrupted his meditation and looked over, only to see that the "meat pigeon" had already devoured most of the mountain of flesh and blood!

Its body had noticeably swelled, its muscles had become more grotesque and powerful, and dark red veins were faintly visible beneath its grayish skin. The red light in its eyes was solid and blood-like.

The aura it exuded had clearly broken through from the peak of lv1 to lv2 (elite level)!

Looking at the mountain of meat that had mostly disappeared, and then at the "meat pigeon" whose size had not changed at all, Lynn couldn't help but sigh.

Goodness! I never knew you had such a big appetite!

I should have named you "Liangzi".

Not long after, the "meat pigeon" devoured the remaining flesh and blood, even chewing and swallowing the broken bones.

It let out a satisfied growl, lay down on the spot, and the surging energy in its body gradually subsided as it began to digest this "feast".

Lynn stepped forward and activated the [Analysis] function.

[Target]: Flesh Aberration Variant (Original Zombie Template)

[Rank]: lv2 (Elite)

[Status]: Full, digesting, deeply intensified.

[Capability Update/Enhancement]:

Swift Bite → Bloodthirsty Bite: Speed ​​is further increased, and the bite has a slight blood-sucking effect.

Blood of Corruption (Enhanced): Increases the potency of the toxin and makes the paralyzing effect more pronounced.

Thirst for Flesh: By consuming fresh flesh, one can permanently enhance their strength, speed, and physical toughness, and become more acute in their perception and craving for flesh.

(New) Flesh and Blood Abnormality: The body can freely transform into any shape (claws, blades, giant hammers, whips, shields, armor, etc.).

[Potential: Medium to High (Preliminary signs of mutation have been observed; continued feeding with high-quality flesh and blood is needed to guide the evolutionary direction)]

...

After looking at the rogue's attribute panel, especially the newly added [Flesh Mutation], Lynn couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

It's Li! Brother A!

Prototype, Blacklight Virus...

The battle was awesome!!

Words appeared in Lynn's mind, and the image of Brother A gradually became clear.

The "Flesh and Blood Mutation" ability of the pigeon is similar to that of Brother A's Blacklight Virus, both of which can change body shape and form various weapons.

If I devour more flesh and blood to enhance my attributes, I might actually become as powerful as Brother A!

From now on, you can stop calling yourself "meat pigeon" and just call yourself "Brother A"!

Satisfied, Lynn withdrew his gaze and began cleaning up the scene.

He collected the remaining, hardest bones and prepared to grind them into bone meal as Gregor had instructed.

They also cleaned up most of the filth within the area of ​​the witch's formation.

"Brother A" was then taken back into the necromancer's ring and continued to digest flesh and blood and consolidate his strength in the rich negative energy environment.

Gregor's casual "feeding" had an unexpectedly good effect.

Perhaps the mentor didn't just randomly feed him knowledge, but rather tailored his teaching to A's individual needs based on a wealth of accumulated knowledge.

He looked toward the main experimental platform, where the trouble-averse mentor was still engrossed in the blueprints, seemingly unsurprised by A's advancement.

"We really made a good choice in our mentor! Not only can we get free knowledge, but we can also occasionally snag some unexpected 'resources'."

Lynn thought to himself, then focused his mind and continued his meditation.

Our undead are so powerful, we need to hurry up and improve ourselves.

Strength is the foundation for survival in this world.
