The Necromancer's Church Management Manual

In the narrow, damp passage, vines entwined around the ceiling dripped water droplets, which fell into small puddles on the ground, creating ripples.

However, instead of calming down, the ripples began to surge.

Boom—

A loud bang came from afar, and in a cloud of dust, Garr and a dozen skeletons ran wildly through the passage.

Slide past the vines, turn right into a new passage, and jump over a chasm...

The monsters behind them persisted relentlessly.

"You call this a treasure?!"

"Click-clack—" The skeleton opened and closed its jaw, making a clicking sound.

Well, these unblemished skeletons can't even speak.

Garr misunderstood them and ran over excitedly...

Then he witnessed an amethyst bear whose entire body was made of purple crystals. With a single sweep, dozens of undead skeletons were instantly destroyed.

The amethyst bear turned its head, its eyes, composed of red crystals, leaving a scarlet trail in the air as it stared intently at itself.

Garr ran without hesitation, running back all the way, but he seemed to be lost, and no matter how he ran, he couldn't get back to the original entrance.

"Hans! Quick, see how we get out!" He tossed the map to Hans, who was half-hidden behind Smithson.

Hans unfolded the map, looked it over from left to right, and summarized his findings based on the current route:

"Lord Garr, you're going the wrong way. This path leads to the lowest level of the interdimensional rift cluster."

Smithson: "We have to end the battle here, otherwise even a diamond-level adventure team will have a hard time escaping the interdimensional rift cluster."

Gal had no other choice: "Find some open terrain and prepare to engage!"

There is a circular stone hall at regular intervals in the underground passage, with branching paths.

Upon arriving at the next stone hall, Garr instantly turned around and raised his staff.

"Light spell!"

The light from Lv2 Illumination is far brighter than that from Lv1, and it consumes only a very small amount of magic.

The dimly lit room was instantly illuminated by the light of the illumination spell.

Gar squinted at the amethyst bear, but unfortunately, the bear was completely unaffected.

Ian began to sing.

Requiem.

Garr, Smithson, and Hans were enhanced.

The amethyst bear remained unaffected, its speed undiminished, and it was about to rush into the stone hall.

Smithson immediately strode forward, and in an instant, his entire body was covered in bone armor, making him appear much larger.

He swung his hands, which transformed into bone hammers, colliding with the amethyst bear's giant amethyst claws.

Ding--

The bone hammer was covered with fine cracks, and the amethyst claw was also cracked in one corner.

For a moment, Smithson and the Amethyst Bear were locked in a stalemate.

Garr immediately prepared for his next spell.

"Divine purification!"

A beam of light shone on the body of the amethyst bear, causing it to hiss and emit white smoke.

Then there is no more then.

Gar swallowed hard. It seemed that his Light-type buff was completely countered by the Amethyst Bear, and could not cause it any harm at all.

He could only pin his hopes on Smithson.

Thinking of this, he raised his arm and waved it.

"A beacon of inspiration!"

Smithson's body was covered in golden powder, and his power surged instantly.

This stalemate was broken with the help of the invigorating light. The Amethyst Bear took a step back due to Smithson's immense power, losing its balance.

Smithson seized this opening, bending his knees slightly and transforming his hands from bone hammers into spikes.

The next second, he shot out like a cannonball, crashing straight into the Amethyst Bear. The spikes on his hands pierced the Amethyst Bear's abdomen and transformed into the shape of a bone machine inside its body.

If Gar had X-ray vision, he would definitely see that the Amethyst Bear's body was riddled with tangled bone spurs, and all its organs were completely destroyed.

The amethyst bear let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground.

"pretty!"

Only then did Garr dare to breathe heavily and give a thumbs up.

It was a mistake to choose to retreat strategically just now because I was worried that I couldn't beat the Amethyst Bear.

I never expected Smithson to be so powerful; he took down the Amethyst Bear all by himself.

With Smithson's addition, Gar's overall strength has instantly increased several levels, which makes him believe that if he encounters his brother Zane again, he will no longer have to retreat in a sorry state.

"Lord Gar, this is a magic crystal that was taken from the belly of the Amethyst Bear." When Smithson deactivated his bone armor, a purple crystal appeared in his pale hand, which he presented to Gar.

"Wow! This is a good thing."

Garr picked it up; the purple magic crystal shone brightly in the dim stone hall.

Magic crystals are mainly classified into two categories.

One type is the magic crystal, which contains pure magic power and is often used to replenish magic power in battle or to make magic scrolls. When Gar was in the Vault, he successfully summoned His Majesty Edmund using the magic power in the magic crystal.

Another type is the magic crystal, which can improve the efficiency of magic transmission and is often used to forge various weapons. The exquisite staff in Garr's hand is made from a magic crystal.

Regardless of the type of magic crystal, they are all expensive in the outside world.

Gar tried to guide the magic crystal but found that it contained no magic power, so it must be a magic crystal.

After putting away the magic crystal, Gal felt it was getting late and started walking back.

Although this dungeon trip didn't involve any extraordinary adventures, it was still quite rewarding.

During the chase, he saw several dead adventurers.

He can go back and make a contract along the way, and maybe his level will increase as a result.

After crossing a thick vine, Gal arrived at the first skeleton. She was wearing a dark green robe embroidered with gold patterns, and there was a tear on her shoulder. Judging from the appearance, she had died from being bitten on the neck by a monster.

A few faint purple beams of light emanated from her body as Gar placed his hand on the skull.

A purple beam of light condensed into a magic circle in his hand and disappeared into it. Then, the skeleton began to move.

A blue-white flame of the soul flickered in her empty eye sockets, and her mouth clicked and clacked as if it were dislocated.

"Praise... to death... Lord Andrew."

Garr flipped through the business manual to check its information:

[Necromancer: Vinya]

【Contract: Necromancer's Contract】

[Rank: Lv28 (Gold)]

[Faith: God of War]

[Class: Battle Mage]

[Blessed by: Fireball, Lava Swamp]

He was indeed a battle mage, though slightly inferior to Smithson, but he still made up for the lack of magical damage in Garr.

Garr didn't stop and continued walking forward.

The other undead on the way were also mostly gold-level, namely a berserker, a shadow raider, and a war priest.

However, Gar had better options, so he grouped the undead into two teams.

"Hmm, this should be the last one."

Gar stopped and looked at the skeleton in the robes beside him, though the cause of his death should be a small hole in his skull.

After glancing at the map, he realized that after a few more turns, he would reach the entrance he had come from, and this was the last undead.

Like the previous ones, the skeleton emitted a pale purple beam of light.

Gar placed his hand on his forehead, and a purple beam of light condensed into a purple magic circle in his palm.

Just as the magic circle was about to be absorbed into it, it was suddenly bounced back.

Garl thought the contract had failed and felt somewhat disappointed.

But soon the small magic circle suddenly expanded rapidly and rushed back into Gal's body.

This startled Garr, who quickly took a few steps back and patted his body to make sure he felt no discomfort.

Just then, a sharp, ethereal voice entered his mind.

"The spirit Adrian requests to sign a spirit contract with you. Do you agree?"
