Chapter 91 The Child of Darkness

On the way back, after Richard imprinted his spiritual mark on the skeleton warrior, he sent the skeleton warrior back to the underworld. However, he then summoned a sword and shield skeleton soldier who had not yet been promoted.

Because he wanted to promote his remaining three sword-and-shield skeleton soldiers to skeleton warriors one by one. After all, his mental strength was not enough to directly summon skeleton warriors through witchcraft.

Therefore, the only way to upgrade all the skeleton soldiers under your command is to keep killing enemies and absorbing their death energy one by one.

However, Ophelia and Andrea, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance at each other, their meaning clear: Richard was too cunning.

Ophelia, in particular, thought to herself, Richard looks clean and innocent-looking, and she always thought he was an honest man, but now she realized that he was really too insidious. He clearly had undead summons of the level of skeleton warriors, but he still secretly replaced them with ordinary skeleton soldiers.

Moreover, this also shows that his level zero sorcery summoning skeletons is clearly at the proficiency level; otherwise, he would have no reason to do so.

Because those at the proficient level or below can only recruit one skeleton soldier; even if they have two skeleton warriors, they cannot be used simultaneously.

Richard, standing to the side, was clearly unaware that his two teammates were both secretly criticizing him.

Meanwhile, the three red-haired girls who had left were chatting as they searched for traces of the underground races.

"Jenna, why didn't you make a move just now? Mijat and I were ready." The short girl, Brandy, asked in confusion.

The tall, thin boy, Mijat, who was standing nearby, also looked over, and he had the same question.

Because he knew the red-haired girl Jenna's temperament well; she was extremely stubborn and would never easily give up what she set her sights on, unless the other party was much stronger than her, leaving her with absolutely no chance.

Otherwise, she would not give up as long as there was even the slightest chance, like a carrion wolf biting at rotten flesh.

"Naive! Do you think I don't want to? Don't you even know who came from Gurus Academy?" Jenna scoffed at her companion's question.

"Huh? Are those four really that powerful? Even if they are, they probably won't interfere with our affairs with those three apprentices from the Ignis School, will they?" the short girl Brandy continued to ask.

"Did you see that purple-haired boy? His name is Torrey Grace, a super genius from Gurus Academy. His wizarding aptitude is said to be top-tier, and his affinity for dark elements surpasses even the highest level, reaching the level of a Child of Darkness!"

"What?! The Child of Darkness!" Brandy and Mijat looked at each other in disbelief.

The Child of Darkness—this is the top-tier existence in terms of dark element affinity!

If we say that the affinity for dark elements is moderate, one standard unit of mental power can mobilize five to six units of dark element energy.

Then the Child of Darkness, with the same amount of mental power, can mobilize eleven to twelve units of dark elemental energy.

The difference is more than double.

The same witchcraft can have twice the power when used, which is simply despair-inducing!

For example, the Ogre Staff, a high-level sorcery item, has a special effect that increases the power of shadow magic by 25% if the wielder uses it.

In other words, even though Richard has a medium affinity for dark elements, the shadow magic he casts while wielding the ogre's staff is nearly one-third less powerful than that of others.

Moreover, such top geniuses are probably never short of top-tier witchcraft tools!

"Moreover, this guy has a particular fondness for meddling in other people's business. Two months ago, when a team of officially certified wizards from their Gurus Academy came to our North Ring for an exchange, I saw this guy."

Jenna recounted in detail what she had seen last time.

"I see." The two suddenly realized why Jenna turned and left as soon as she saw the purple-haired boy.

As the three rounded a bend in the underground cave, they encountered a squad of merman warriors just a few dozen meters away, led by a green-scaled, dual-wielding merman warrior.

For a moment, both sides were stunned, but the next second, the red-haired girl Jenna and the short girl Brandy were overjoyed and immediately commanded their stitched monsters and walkers to rush forward.

The murloc squad, including the dual-wielding murloc, consisted of ten murloc warriors. Upon seeing that the opposing human group only numbered five, they immediately charged back without fear.

Suddenly, the towering Frankenstein's monster under Jenna's command pulled out two butcher knives from behind his waist. They were semi-circular in shape, only thirty centimeters long, but with extremely thick backs.

He slashed at the head of an ordinary merman warrior who was charging towards him—fast and powerful!

The merman warrior had no time to dodge before being struck on the forehead by a blade. The blade was a butcher's cleaver, and the force was from the entire body, causing the merman warrior's enormous fish head to be split in two!

This immediately instilled fear in the surrounding merman warriors, causing them to hesitate and not move forward.

The green-scaled, dual-wielding fishman was originally charging towards the short girl with his twin swords, but when he turned around and saw that his subordinate had been disemboweled on the spot, he angrily changed direction and charged straight at the stitched monster.

Now, it's two swords against two swords!

The Green Scaled Twin-Blade Fishman's blades are narrow and long, at least 1.2 meters long, and resemble Japanese samurai swords.

Both were skilled with knives, and their blades clashed and clanged, locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Suddenly, the green-scaled fish spat out a water arrow.

A dark green water arrow shot straight at the Stitches monster's chest. Since the Stitches monster didn't even try to dodge, it was drenched and made a "squeaking" sound.

It turns out that this water arrow was not an ordinary water arrow technique, but a poison water arrow.

But for the Frankenstein monster, this bit of poison is nothing, but it deeply stings it.

The next second, the Frankenstein monster turned red all over, its muscles swelled, and it grew a whole size larger. It swung its twin swords faster, heavier, and more accurately!

This time, the green-scaled fishman could no longer resist. In no time, dozens of deep wounds that exposed bone appeared on his body, and he collapsed!

"Jenna, it seems the barbarian heart you transplanted into the Frankenstein last time worked really well! It even unlocked his berserk bloodline! When will you get one for me?" the short girl pleaded.

"Your body is too weak. An ordinary knight's body can hardly withstand limb modification and bloodline transplantation. You should at least get the body of an intermediate or higher-level knight."

"Jenna, where am I supposed to get a mid-level knight's body?!" the short girl lamented.

"What an idiot! Of the three Ignis School members we just encountered, the one in full knight's armor was a mid-level knight, and handsome at that—a rare find for zombie material!"

"Ah! I remember now, right, how could I not have thought of that? Then... shall we go find them now? That genius from Gurus Academy should be gone by now!" The short girl, reminded of this, was already getting impatient.

"What's the rush? Actually, Brandy, if you don't mind the strong fishy smell, this dual-wielding fishman's physical strength is no less than that of a mid-level knight."

"No way! Carrying it around every day would mean not only the stench of a corpse but also the fishy smell. I couldn't stand it!" The short girl immediately shook her head.

Suddenly, the tall, thin boy, Mijat, who was scouting ahead, made a shushing gesture. "Shh!"

The initial order numbers were so-so, exactly 400. Thank you everyone for your support! (`) Sending love!
