The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

The knight commander did not continue speaking.

But the gravedigger knights present, as well as Ansu, all knew what the other wanted to say.

No need to worry, Knight Commander.

Ansu shook her head.

"To Lord Sandru, I have additional value; he won't kill me even if my body is destroyed."

Ansu said this, but she didn't really think so.

He knew that the corpse was not that of a wizard registered in the Rose Cemetery.

Sandru knew about the corpse, but left it there because he didn't care.

Therefore, Ansu understood that even if Sandru found out, he would not be punished.

But the Grand Master of the Graveyard did not know the real reason.

However, he understood why Ansu hadn't disposed of the body directly, but instead came to him first:

I want to make a transaction.

After a moment's thought, the knight commander looked again toward where Ansu was.

"Mr. Ansu."

The knight commander drew a palm-sized dagger from his waist, with a hilt that looked like obsidian.

"dagger?"

Ansu was somewhat puzzled.

After all, there was no trace of runes on either the hilt or the blade.

It is not an alchemy tool.

"This is a weapon I found on a black market cultist during a previous battle."

Although it's not an alchemical tool, the material used to make the dagger is quite unique.

As the knight commander spoke, he casually drew a line in the mud beneath his feet.

Then lift it gently.

Only two-thirds of the shadow remained beneath the knight commander's feet.

The other third was hung on the blade of the dagger.

"I asked the dwarven blacksmith, and he said the ore used to forge the dagger is called [Shadow Crystal]."

Neither the dagger itself, nor the shadow it cuts off.

They should all be usable as alchemy materials.

After describing the effect, the Knight Commander subtly flicked his wrist.

The next moment, half of the shadow fell off the dagger.

Then it fell back to the ground and became part of the shadow once more.

"If you are willing to help us deal with this zombie, I am willing to offer this [Shadow Erosion Dagger] as payment."

Upon hearing the Knight Commander's introduction, Ansu immediately became interested in it.

"With this thing..."

I will be able to formulate alchemical pigments with stronger effects and wider applicability.

Whether it's combat ability, self-defense ability, or even... the efficiency of mixing alchemical pigments.

Both can receive additional boosts.

"it is good."

Ansu nodded and then took the dagger.

The instant I received the dagger and touched the blade.

The bonus effect of [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] on [Main Profession - Alchemist] takes effect immediately.

Ansu also confirmed one thing:

The knight commander was not lying to himself.

The [Etching Crystal] that makes up the blade can indeed be used to mix alchemy pigments.

"Afterwards, you can try to cut off a portion of the [Erosion Crystal] without affecting the dagger's effect."

Then, it is converted into a material-type alchemy pigment and simultaneously entered into the database for the entry "Pigment Aura (Purple)".

With that thought in mind, An Su immediately put the Shadow Dagger into her satchel.

At the same time, he took out the paintbrush that he had previously obtained from Sandru.

In addition, pigments modified from activated pigments were also extracted.

"This is a good opportunity to test the effects of the new paint."

Ansu thought to herself, then looked again at the location of the zombies.

At this moment, the zombie absorbed even more soil and stones.

This caused the armor covering the entire body to expand an extra size.

Besides.

Because there are more gravediggers in Anzu's area, the flesh and soul are more palatable to the undead.

Therefore, after discovering traces of Anzu and the tomb-guarding knights,

The undead then trotted heavily, with an agility beyond its massive size, and quickly ran towards where the group was.

Seeing this scene.

Ansu immediately gripped the paintbrush tightly, channeling his spiritual energy into it.

At the same time, he wielded the paintbrush in his hand.

Immediately afterward, under Ansu's mental intervention, the alchemical pigments adhered to the ether particles.

Then, under Ansu's control, the positions of the ether particles changed rapidly.

At the same time, they are combined into specific shapes.

At the same time, the stone-armored zombies were getting closer and closer to Anzu.

Seeing this scene.

Among the many tomb guardian knights, Ryan stared intently at Anzu, who was painting, and the stone-armored undead that was running wildly.

At the same time, it was decided that if the distance between the two was too close, it would intervene to block the stone-armored zombie.

In order to prevent Ansu from dying at the hands of the enemy.

At this moment, Ansu was still calmly drawing on the ether particles.

At the same time, he used his mental energy to slightly adjust the position of the colored ether particles, thereby constructing runes that would allow the pigment to exert additional effects.

As time went by, the heavy, swift footsteps grew closer.

The stench of rotting corpses also reached Ansu's nose.

But even so.

Ansu continued as before, drawing patterns on the ether while adjusting the positions of the ether particles.

There wasn't even the slightest mistake.

Until a few seconds later, the distance between the two was less than 20 meters.

Just as the Gravekeeper Knight Ryan was preparing to mount his skeletal warhorse to protect Anzu from attack.

Ansu stopped drawing.

Upon seeing this, Ryan subconsciously looked up at the paint in mid-air.

What comes into view is a pattern that resembles a giant dragon's head and exudes a powerful aura.

Upon completion of the drawing, the moment the pattern takes shape, the pigment immediately devours the ether particles to which it is attached.

Then it rapidly expands and changes shape.

Soon after, the pattern that once resembled a giant dragon's head disappeared.

Instead, there is a giant dragon made of seven colors and nearly two meters long.

"roar--"

A dragon's roar came from the dragon's mouth.

As soon as the sound rang out, the undead clad in stone armor stopped moving for a moment.

Under the influence of the instructions previously set by Ansu, the paint dragon immediately flapped its wings.

Then, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, they arrived beside the stone-armored zombie in just a moment.

At the same time, the zombies also broke free from the influence of the dragon's might.

He then immediately prepared to swing his fist, which was covered by armor, to knock the dragon, made of seven colors, to the ground.

But before it could act, the paint dragon suddenly opened its massive mouth full of sharp teeth.

Click!

A loud noise rang out.

In an instant, the stone armor on the zombie's arm, and even the entire arm, was bitten off.

The zombies' attacks also missed their target.

Upon seeing this, Ryan, who was about to mount the skeletal warhorse, instinctively froze for a moment.

"It just... bit off?"

Ryan thought that Ansu had only been learning supernatural knowledge from Sandru for a short time and probably wouldn't improve his strength much.

Unexpectedly, Ansu created a puppet that resembled a giant dragon simply by drawing a few strokes in mid-air.

Moreover, with just one bite, it severed the zombie's armor and arm.

at the same time.

The burial man, who had previously witnessed Ansu's actions and was using the [Zombie Suppression Bandage] to resist the aura of the dead, also saw this scene.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

After all, just a few days ago, Ansu was just like them.

They were all buried men who had not mastered any extraordinary knowledge and were only responsible for digging up corpses, adjusting bandages, and burying corpses.

Unexpectedly, Ansu mastered extraordinary knowledge in less than ten days after arriving at the alchemy workshop.

With just a flick of his wrist, he created a monster that resembled a giant dragon.

Seeing this scene.

The person burying the body subconsciously swallowed.

The fear previously caused by the emergence of zombies has dissipated somewhat.

"Ansu...has he already become a wizard?"
