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

Upon seeing the knight in black armor refer to himself as "Body," the ratman, who possessed the blood of a white dragon, immediately sensed something was wrong.

He didn't know what this meant, but it certainly wasn't a good thing.

He immediately began to struggle. But the rope binding him was a tripwire that had been prepared for the warhorses of the peninsula.

Extremely sturdy.

They can't break free in a short time.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have bought such a sturdy rope."

The rat cursed inwardly, its eyes darting around, and it uttered another harsh threat.

"I'm a member of the Gray Rat Gang!"

Can't you see the dragon scales on my body?

This modification was carried out by the official wizard who protects the Gray Rat Gang!

"Oh? Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, An Su immediately felt a bit amused.

"Then tell me, what is the rank above wizard apprentice called?"

Starlight Wizard, or Moonlight Wizard?

The rat-man didn't know.

But not wanting to appear unsure, I still chose an answer without hesitation:

"Of course, it's the Starlight Wizard!"

"Wrong, neither of them is correct."

"It's the Star Wizard."

Ansu replied casually.

Then he applied another layer of paint to his fingertips.

Then, with a gentle lift, he extracted the other's soul from the rat-man's body, which contained a trace of dragon blood.

Then, amidst the rat-man's pleading and frantic cries, it was placed into a small bottle.

Upon seeing the new body appear, the elemental priest immediately detached himself from the body that had been corrupted and eroded by the flesh golem.

Then, in spirit form, it entered the body of a rat-man with white dragon scales, thus completing the body transfer.

"A body that can move freely and whose internal organs have not been distorted."

I really miss those days.

Feeling the ratman's body and the dragon bloodline within it, the elemental priest felt a surge of joy.

After getting used to it for a while, the other person looked at Ansu to the side.

Mr. Ansu.

Although the organs of my previous body were twisted by the flesh golem.

However, through the feedback from the sacrifices to various elemental totem spirits, it also received an amplification comparable to that of a knight.

Perhaps this will come in handy for you.

For the elemental priest, the previous body was no longer of any use.

So he decided to give it to Anzu, who possessed knowledge of wizardry, as a reward.

Ansu did not refuse and directly recycled the old body into the cemetery area of ​​the soul space.

This is similar to the previous situation where the painting was transferred into the soul space.

After the corpse was transferred to the soul space, a series of prompts appeared on the panel:

Unburied body detected

[Was the burial site located within a cemetery area?]

"Sure."

As soon as Ansu made his choice, the earth in the Soul Space began to tremble.

Moments later, the old corpse of the Elemental Priest began to sink rapidly, as if it were in a swamp, to a degree visible to the naked eye.

Until it was completely buried in the earth.

An inconspicuous tombstone also appeared along with it.

[Gained 0.05 free attribute points]

[Buried complete; knowledge-related assessment will be conducted daily at 00:00]

"I see.

Although it wasn't mentioned in the entry's description, it wasn't just randomly buried.

Ansu could vaguely sense that each tombstone corresponded to a knowledge assessment.

In the small area surrounding each tombstone, only one body can be buried.

Since that's the case.

Then, if multiple bodies are found and the cemetery area is insufficient.

The order of burial can be determined based on the amount of knowledge the deceased possessed during their lifetime.

Ansu thought to herself.

After confirming that the elemental priest's soul did not have any rejection reaction with the new body, Ansu did not linger any longer.

Then he mounted the skeletal warhorse and left the place together with the Gravekeeper Knight Ryan.

They then headed towards the area where the burial person and the tomb keeper lived.

"The knowledge extraction judgment can only be made from the cemetery area in the body at 0:00 every day."

before that.

Perhaps by absorbing the aura of the dead, one can improve their physical attributes.

With the bonus effects brought by the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent].

The efficiency of absorbing the aura of the dead, and the efficiency of obtaining physical attribute enhancements from it, will definitely be greatly improved.

Before long, I'll be able to reach 5 points in my Constitution attribute, thus successfully becoming a Gravekeeper Knight.

Ansu thought to himself as he rode the skeletal warhorse.

He would also observe his surroundings from time to time.

If a corpse is encountered, it will be directly transferred to the soul space.

After all, Ansu's current soul space is large enough to bury dozens of corpses.

Even if you can't get the knowledge that Ansu needs, you can still get free attribute points.

If we don't bury it, we might as well.

Therefore, during his journey on the skeletal warhorse, Anzu also collected corpses of varying degrees of completeness.

The free attribute points gained from each corpse are not significant.

But little by little, he still managed to accumulate 0.3 free attribute points.

This brings us one step closer to unlocking the next free attribute point.

Even if the Soul Space Cemetery area is overcrowded with corpses, the bodies can be removed to make room for other new corpses.

Even if some corpses were transformed into living corpses due to the aura of the dead, their strength would probably not be much stronger.

We can also collect a bunch of soulfire while we're at it.

Ansu pondered how to utilize the new terminology and the corpse, while simultaneously remaining vigilant and observant of her surroundings.

But before they even reached their destination, Ansu suddenly realized something was amiss.

"Someone is following and lying in ambush."

If Ansu hadn't been searching for new corpses, he might not have noticed it immediately.

Are they members of the Black Market Ratmen Gang, or from another gang?

But most likely they're here to kill me or Ryan.

Thinking of this, Ansu exchanged a glance with the tomb guardian knight Ryan beside him.

Ryan has also experienced many battles with the undead or the living.

Therefore, it only took a moment for him to understand Ansu's intentions and the current situation.

So the two pretended to want to go to the black market to purchase extraordinary resources, in order to change their route.

Just as An Su had expected, the two who were tracking and lying in ambush followed.

They walked together in the direction suitable for battle.

Meanwhile, Ansu was not idle either.

Instead, some of the paintbrushes and paints were transferred from the spatial alchemy tool to the soul space.

Then, a miniature bone dragon head with bony wings, named "Cast-Colored Dead Skull," picked up the paintbrush.

This allows it to utilize the corresponding alchemical pigments, thus preparing it for the upcoming battle.

A short while later.

Amidst the overlapping sounds of horses' hooves, the two arrived at a relatively spacious area with few obstructions.

That is, the best place to launch a counterattack.

Not long after the two arrived, the others who had followed them earlier instinctively followed as before.

But when he noticed that there was not a single obstruction around him, his expression changed immediately, and he tried to increase the distance.

Before they could retreat, Ansu and the Gravekeeper Knight Ryan turned around at the same time.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately launched a counterattack.
