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

Anzu had this idea long before the first Shadow Dragon was created.

However, due to insufficient knowledge and proficiency at the time, there were not enough entries.

Therefore, the goal was not achieved.

But now it's different.

"As long as we have this Shadow Element Bone Dragon, which is a projection of the Shadow Dragon."

I can then steadily improve my proficiency in [Alchemy Pigment Mixing], [Virtual Screen Painting], and [Painting-Type Spell Scroll Drawing].

and..."

As Ansu pondered this, he glanced at the other two ordinary shadow dragons beside him.

He plans to move these shadow dragons into the interior space of the new spatial painting as well.

Thus, with the added bonus from the entry, he once again obtained a familiar named Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

However, Ansu was not prepared to grant their projected bodies paintbrush-like tails, as before, or to accelerate the acquisition of painting-related knowledge and proficiency.

After all, Ansu's expertise is not limited to painting.

In addition, there are a range of other professions, as well as various types of knowledge related to those professions.

Therefore, Anzu plans to create some variants of the Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

This will further enhance one's proficiency in various areas, including drawing skills.

The efficiency of acquiring new professions will also be enhanced thereafter.

With this in mind, Ansu immediately took action.

At the same time, they also didn't forget to formulate new alchemical pigments.

Ansu's Mystic attribute reached 40 points when it was used to create new types of alchemical pigment formulas.

Therefore, as the cemetery area and floating island area of ​​the soul space continued to expand, an additional easel suddenly appeared on the floating island area.

Before long, Ansu's Shadow Dragon also absorbed enough shadow elements.

This increased the number of Shadow Dragons from three to four.

At this moment, Ansu has a total of five easels.

"The [Painting-type Spell Scroll - Pied Piper], which represents the Pied Piper, cannot be removed casually."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to consistently obtain skeleton rats every day.

Although their strength is not considered high.

However, with enough small numbers, a sufficient number of skeleton rats can be quite useful.

After thinking for a moment.

Ansu temporarily removed the unnamed 0-star painting corresponding to [Cast Colored Skull].

I plan to upgrade it before placing it back on the new frame.

Then, some time was spent constructing three new spatial painting-style spell scrolls centered around the three shadow dragons.

At the same time, just like the previous paintings, they were directly transferred to the easel in the floating island area of ​​the soul space.

Not long after.

Amidst the convergence of a large amount of undead aura and various energies, three brand-new Shadow Element Bone Dragons took shape.

However, its appearance is slightly different from the original Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

The first item is always 【Entry - Projection (Blue)】.

The second entry, like the appearance of the Shadow Element Bone Dragons, has some differences.

A Shadow Element Bone Dragon was clad in black and gold armor, and its physical strength was greater than that of an ordinary Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

When engaging in matters related to knights and combat, the efficiency of gaining proficiency and the efficiency of gaining proficiency will be further enhanced.

For example, one can practice knightly combat skills by using the "Death Breathing Technique" related to the Gravekeeper Knight.

"Can I gain proficiency by engaging in combat-related activities...?"

Look at the effect of the entry.

Ansu pondered for a moment.

Then, an ant was selected that was in the soul space and was originally prepared for the effect of the Piper Ratman's stat.

At the same time, the soul connection was invoked, transmitting the command to the soul of the Shadow Element Bone Dragon clad in black and gold armor.

next moment.

Shadow Dragon used its tail to lift the paintbrush, causing the [Alchemy Pigment - Frost Blue] to adhere to it.

Then he began drawing runes in mid-air.

This is in preparation for attacking ants.

At the same time, the panel notification sounded again:

[Using illusory painting during combat, proficiency +3]

"Just as I thought."

Ansu confirmed his suspicions.

"Even using alchemical pigments during battle is considered a battle."

Therefore, it can also trigger certain keywords, granting additional proficiency bonuses.

Ansu memorized the Shadow Dragon's ability to conceal itself while wearing armor.

Then he looked at another familiar that was also in the soul space and was born from the painting-type spell scroll.

The opponent was also a Shadow Element Bone Dragon, but its body was somewhat translucent.

Like a ghost.

The effects of these entries can provide bonuses to knowledge and proficiency related to the undead.

In addition, when one or one's own followers obtain new undead followers and undead summons.

These types of companions and summoned creatures will receive a random attribute bonus of 6 points.

This ghost-type elemental bone dragon didn't significantly improve Anzu's knowledge.

However, it can be quite effective when the Piper Ratman summons Skeleton Rats.

It can even cause a qualitative change in the battle with a smaller number of units.

"After the Skeleton Rat's mysterious attributes were enhanced."

You will then receive additional bonuses when applying mystical venom to the claws of the Skeleton Rat.

As Ansu pondered this, she looked at the last Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

Most of the opponent's features are similar to those of a common Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

It just has four heads.

Moreover, the terms it represents differ slightly from those of the other three Shadow Element Bone Dragons.

[Multiple Shadow Element Bone Dragons]

Loyalty: 100% (Constant)

[Physical Constitution: 7, Mental Strength: 7, Mysticism: 40.3]

[Entry - Projection (Blue)]

[Effect: When the holder of this attribute is inside the painting, they will be projected onto the outside world as a shadow elemental bone dragon.]

Furthermore, it inherits the original body's spiritual power attributes, mystical attributes, and various buffs.

(Both attribute bonuses and secondary profession bonuses are included.)

[Entry - Elemental Totem Spirit Dragon (Purple)]

[Effect 1: When absorbing shadow elements through the projected body, the amplification effect can be applied to the main body.]

If it has become an elemental totem spirit of another existence, the efficiency of increasing the elemental concentration of its original form increases by 10%.

Furthermore, this effect can be applied to other elemental totem spirits of the same contractor.

Effect 2: If the contractor is unique and has already contracted other elemental totem spirits.

For each other elemental spirit a contractor has, the number of their heads increases by 1.

Increases the efficiency of the corresponding elemental totem spirit's elemental concentration by an additional 10%.

The effects of totem spells will also be increased by an additional 10%.

"Although it cannot be used to speed up the acquisition of proficiency like the other three Shadow Element Bone Dragons."

However, it can be applied to promote the growth of other Shadow Element Bone Dragons.

The efficiency of condensing the new Shadow Dragon will also increase.

For Ansu, the terms possessed by this Shadow Element Bone Dragon are of paramount importance.

It can even be considered indispensable to its own elemental priest system.

"We have the entry 'Elemental Totem Spirit Dragon (Purple)'."

There's no need to worry about the Shadow Dragons being trapped within the painting's inner space, preventing them from continuing to increase their strength by absorbing Shadow Elements and from forming more new Shadow Dragons that are also elemental totem spirits.

At this moment, the four Shadow Element Bone Dragons, each with a different effect, have all taken shape.

The efficiency of acquiring proficiency in various knowledge areas, as well as the efficiency of acquiring totem spells, has been greatly improved.

"As long as the corresponding abilities are applied to enhance strength."

Later, when facing the assessment at the wizarding academy.

This also increases the likelihood of achieving the highest rating, while receiving additional resources and knowledge rewards from the academy.

Even if the ancient wizards were to resurrect, they would still be able to put up a fight.

Thinking of this.

Ansu continued to prepare for the upcoming entrance exams for the Wizarding Academy.
