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

"Ansu has good talent."

My drawing skills have also improved significantly since I first learned to draw painting-type spell scrolls.

Centaur Novak commented:

"Moreover, even though it only occupies one-tenth of the carapace area, the painting-type spell scroll can still continue to function thanks to the help of the pigment-type runes."

His talent even surpasses that of many wizard apprentices.

Passing the entrance exam for the Wizarding Academy, or even obtaining a Star Rating, shouldn't be too difficult.

"At this rate, the Star Rating is practically a done deal."

Sandru nodded slightly.

"A Blood Moon rating isn't impossible, but a Dark Sun rating..."

Sandrue is uncertain.

After all, each assessment area has a number of examinees reaching six figures, or even close to seven figures.

However, only one being can be rated as Dark Sun from among these.

The younger examinees described by the Dark Elf El were both longer in terms of survival time and preparation time than Anzu.

This is why Sandru was unable to make a judgment in advance.

So they continued to use the crystal ball together with the centaur Novak to observe the movements of their respective students.

During this period.

Ansu also successfully used scraps of paint from the painting to create a new type of alchemical pigment.

It also slightly enhanced the mystery attribute.

After confirming that there were no problems with the alchemy pigments, Ansu immediately activated the Shadow Element Bone Dragon.

With a thought, the Shadow Element Bone Dragon shook its tail, which resembled a paintbrush.

Then, he dipped the end of his tail into the alchemical paint and applied it to the giant beetle's forehead.

A short while later.

The alchemical pigments, imbued with mysterious properties and thus enhanced in effect, were incorporated into the giant beetle's body and soul.

The beetle's body also emitted a series of cracking sounds.

Amidst a series of rustling sounds, a pair of dragon horns containing the bloodline of a giant dragon immediately appeared on the top of the giant beetle's head.

Near the dragon's horns, white scales grew.

"Although it's just scales from a sub-dragon with white dragon blood."

However, it's sufficient for use in performance evaluations.

Ansu thought to herself.

After confirming that the giant beetle had no major flaws in its current abilities, Anzu stopped making any further modifications.

There isn't much material left.

The points are down to single digits.

Even if it is further modified, it will not be able to play a significant role.

So Ansu focused on creating a new alchemical pigment formula in his mind.

This is in preparation for what's to come.

Another hour has passed; time flies.

The five-hour preparation time then came to an end.

Rumble...

The pure white room where Ansu was located began to tremble slightly.

Before long, the room began to expand at a visible rate.

However, the newly emerging terrain is not a space enclosed by pure white walls.

It was a forest smaller than a basketball court.

Furthermore, between the pure white room and the forest, there is an invisible barrier that can be perceived by the soul.

next moment.

The giant beetle, which had been modified by Ansu and given dragon horns and scales, immediately emitted bursts of white light.

Then they were teleported to one end of the forest area.

Also appearing in the forest area were three hunched goblins.

A creature clad in rusted bronze armor, wielding a massive shield capable of completely shielding itself from the elements.

A creature dressed in leather armor, with a quiver of arrows hanging from its back and a crossbow in its hand.

There was also a goblin that was particularly special.

The other party was dressed in a long black robe and held a staff carved from bone.

A spellcaster? Or an elemental priest?

Ansu could not confirm immediately.

Moreover, due to the barrier, his Shadow Dragons were unable to go there.

At the same time, the long-dormant ethereal sound reappeared in my mind:

Opponent: Goblin Squad

[Base points: 300]

[Bonus points are subject to change]

[Battle Begins]

As soon as the ethereal voice finished speaking, the three goblins, seemingly well-trained, immediately sprang into action.

The goblin, wielding a large shield, charged towards the giant beetle without hesitation.

The crossbowmen also hid behind a tree, ready to fire arrows at the unshelled parts of the giant beetle while the two were locked in combat.

The last goblin brandished his bone staff while chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

At the same time, the various runes carved on the bone staff also began to glow faintly.

"They even know how to cooperate; they must be a special breed cultivated by wizards."

Ansu guessed.

Then he invoked the etheric connection between himself and the giant beetle, transmitting the command into its soul:

"Activate the dragon's bloodline and unlock the patterns on its carapace."

The moment it received the command, the giant beetle with dragon horns on its head immediately opened its mouth.

"roar--!"

A dragon's roar came from the other side.

A surge of dragon might, amplified by the alchemical eyelids, also erupted from the dragon's bloodline.

However, the dragon's might did not travel in all directions along with the dragon's roar.

Instead, it was only transmitted to the painting-type spell scroll on the shell.

The next moment, the rat pattern that occupied one-tenth of the carapace area immediately lit up with faint light.

Until a flash of bright light enveloped the giant beetle.

The bright light flashed into the eyes of three more goblins, causing them to instinctively close their eyes.

The operation also came to a standstill.

A moment later, the bright light dissipated.

But it wasn't just the giant beetle with dragon horns that reappeared in the same spot.

Along with them appeared nearly three hundred rats, each consisting of a rat's head and eight claws.

Due to the need to minimize the size of the painting-type spell scroll, coupled with a limited number of available materials.

Therefore, Ansu slightly adjusted the effects of the spells contained within.

The flute sound was temporarily removed, and the composition of the mouse was slightly adjusted.

The body and tail were removed, leaving eight rat paws on its head.

It looked as if it were a spider that had been transformed by a wizard.

However, in contrast, when combined with Ansu's already close to 50 points of mysterious attribute, the quantity also increased dramatically.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

A spider-rat squeaked.

The next moment, nearly 300 spider rats simultaneously waved the eight rat claws on their heads.

Then they all came out and quickly crawled towards the three goblins.

When the giant shield goblin reopened its eyes and saw a large swarm of spider rats.

Because of the spider-rat's terrifying appearance, its movements subconsciously paused for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many spider rats climbed up to the giant shield goblin.

Two-thirds of the spider rats ignored the giant shield goblin and scurried towards the other two goblins.

The other third of the spider rats then leaped up.

Then it pierced the goblin's armor with its sharp rat claws, while opening its mouth.
