Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Lynn frowned, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"Five female banshees..."

Five banshees alone are not difficult to deal with, but if they cannot be suppressed and eliminated in one go, as soon as one of them sends out a distress signal, a surging army of banshees will be waiting for him!

Let's wait until they fly a little further away. That way, even if they call for help, we'll have time to escape.

Thinking of this, Lynn summoned the Death Knight, mounted his horse again, and approached the five banshees.

The five banshees appeared to be a specialized hunting party, as they left the area of ​​their gathering place and flew further and further away.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of prey near the gathering place.

Although low-level undead don't have much intelligence, they still know to avoid this 24-hour surround sound "concert" to prevent their soul fire from being directly shattered by the "demonic sound".

Lynn was relieved when the banshees flew twenty kilometers away from their gathering place and laid an ambush on their path.

[Corpse Disguise]

Mimicry

【Shadow Weaving】

With the standard three-piece disguise complete, Lynn had a thought, and the Undead Ring flashed. Two bone dogs rushed out from it, wandering across the wasteland like wandering ghosts.

Meanwhile, Wu Liuqi and Xiao Hei each took one, lurking in the shadows beneath the bone dogs, quietly waiting for their prey to take the bait.

The Banshee Squad had excellent eyesight and quickly spotted the two bone dogs. They whistled as they lowered their altitude and flew over the bone dogs.

Lynn seized the opportunity to launch [Analysis].

[Target]: The Wailing Banshee of the Rift

[Rank]: lv3 (Boss Level)

[Composition]: Refined Soul Mist, Elite Soulfire Core

[Potential]: Above average (can be developed into a "soulful singer")

【ability】:

1. Lament: Area-of-effect mental attack that inflicts fear and willpower reduction.

2. Soul Scream: Launches a powerful mental attack on a single target, penetrating conventional mental defenses.

3. Mist Incarnation: Can briefly transform into invisible mist, immune to physical attacks.

4. Spirit Blade: Condenses a spiritual blade to attack enemies, ignoring physical defense.

[Evaluation]: An excellent unit for mind control and area suppression.

...

This hunting team is quite strong; all five banshees are level 3 and their attributes are roughly the same.

Apart from the leading one, which has medium to high potential, the other four have medium or low potential.

Their attack methods are somewhat limited, all targeting the mind. If an apprentice possesses magic or magical artifacts that defend against the mind, dealing with these banshees will be much easier.

Lynn's soul and spirit are both superior to ordinary people, and he also has the [Soul Protection] witchcraft defense, which is enough to withstand several banshees.

The two bone dogs also noticed the banshee's approach and barked helplessly at the sky, trying to scare her away.

Unfortunately, the bone hound had no ranged attack methods and could only watch in despair as the five banshees approached.

The banshee hovered in mid-air, letting out a piercing howl that immediately silenced the barking dogs.

"ah--!!"

This sound completely stunned the bone dog, causing its soul fire to tremble violently and its gaping mouth to remain open.

Wu Liuqi and Xiao Hei, who were hiding in their shadows, were almost shouted out by this roar, and it took them a while to regain their composure.

Immediately afterwards, four of the banshees rushed toward the two bone dogs, unleashing their mental blades in a staggered fashion to slash them.

The lead squadron hovered gracefully in the air, a sight it was already quite accustomed to.

As the overlords of the Wailing Rift, other undead can only crane their necks and await their death. (This reveals my lack of cultural knowledge.)

Four gray shadows sliced ​​through the air, and two bone dogs fell to the ground with a thud, their soul flames emanating from their heads.

Seeing the bone hound perish, the banshees relaxed their guard, and two of them stepped forward to collect the soul fire.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Lynn immediately activated [Shadow Leap], leaping out of the shadows beneath the bone hounds and unleashing a powerful [Screaming of Terror] in return.

"Gah—!!"

A mental scream, more piercing and violent than the banshee's wail, erupted from Lynn's mouth!

A vocal contest? I've never been afraid of anyone!

The five female demons were also stunned by this shout.

They're always the ones yelling at others; when have they ever been yelled at by others?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Liuqi and Xiao Hei also sprang out from the shadows, each choosing an opponent to attack.

The daggers in their hands instantly pierced the soul fire nodes of the two banshees.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lynn unleashed his undead army to attack them, while he himself set his sights on the banshee squad leader in the air.

This one has the highest potential, it's worth taking!

[Soul Impact]

The Banshee Squad Leader was the furthest from Lynn, and also the strongest, with the fastest recovery speed.

When it came to its senses, it saw a large group of undead attacking its own family members.

Just as it was about to cry for help, an invisible soul attack struck its soul fire, interrupting its plea.

Immediately afterwards, another [Mental Lash] struck its soul fire repeatedly, severely injuring it.

The banshee let out a mournful cry, her soul fire almost completely drained away, and she plummeted rapidly from the sky.

[Undead Domination]!

Two breaths later, the mental imprint was successfully created.

Capture complete!

Looking at the undead minions, the battle was basically over, with only one remaining, barely clinging to life.

Another [Undead Domination] was cast, capturing it.

This one has moderate potential, which is not bad.

Losing two bone crows and two bone hounds in exchange for two howling banshees is a good deal!

However, at this moment, Lynn's control had exceeded the limit of mental control, and he had to regretfully give up control of the Stitch Butcher.

Rest in peace, brother!

The three dead banshees each left behind a [Condensed Tear Crystal], a soul fire, and a small pile of [Spiritual Dust], which Lynn immediately collected.

Both 【Condensed Tear Crystals】 and 【Spiritual Dust】 are materials and are not needed for the time being.

The Soulfire was given to Wu Liuqi, Xiao Hei, and Gu Erdan, who contributed the most.

Lynn simply named the two newly captured banshees "Big Ya" and "Second Ya," and then activated the nameplates to record the mission.

Hmm... Once I catch more "babies," just remembering their names will be quite a hassle.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lynn gathered most of the undead, got into the back seat of the Death Knight, and prepared to take a new route directly back to the academy.

This way, you can avoid having your itinerary controlled by others when using the college's public transportation, and you can continue to keep an eye on your favorite baby along the way.

In the area surrounding Wailing Rift, a large area is marked as a danger zone, indicating the territory of the "Skeleton Earthwalker" race.

According to the map, this group consists of several hundred powerful skeletal earth dragons that roam freely within their territory, devouring wandering undead to survive.

Lynn had read about the skeletal earth dragons in the library. They were enormous, had extremely high defense, and ran like heavy tanks.

Furthermore, the Skeleton Earth Dragon possesses both death and earth attributes, making its individual strength among the best in the diverse Wailing Rift.

Hmm... how about... catching a mount?
