This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

“Okay, we’ll talk about it when I have time,” Abys replied nonchalantly.

Would you like to view the user manual for this system now? The assistant can also guide you through a complete tutorial.

"I won't look. You can leave now. Never come out on your own unless I call you, and don't bother me for any reason," Abis commanded directly.

This assistant seemed to possess a certain level of thinking ability. It paused for a moment, then asked timidly, "Don't you want to use the system's functions? If you view the tutorial now, you'll receive a free beginner's gift pack..."

"No need, goodbye. Like I said, don't come out unless I call you."

The assistant reluctantly dimmed and disappeared from Abyss's sight, falling silent just like the system it had obtained from Leona.

Perhaps the system is also confused. Its previous host couldn't wait to finish the tutorial, then kept doing tasks and collecting rewards, reaching the pinnacle of life. But what's wrong with this host? Why isn't it in a hurry for the almost free beginner's gift pack, and instead seems quite disgusted by it?

There are still people who don't like getting something for nothing? Really? Really?

Chapter 233 Lanis's Trouble

"The system left by your ancestors has also come to me, Rebecca," Abyss said to Rebecca, who was waiting quietly beside him, after the orb of light called Assistant disappeared. "However, I've made it step aside."

“It’s time to step back. Before we can strip away the power of the Creator God and completely possess it, it’s best not to use it casually.” Rebecca nodded and became serious as well.

She knew that once her dream was fulfilled, the Abyss would take over all her power, including the system left by her ancestors, and so she was prepared for it.

“Next, we should think about how to turn the power of the Creator God into our own. The power that the Creator God left in the system may be just a drop in the ocean for Him, but for us, it is a power of the highest rank, and it may become our future weapon,” Abyss said. “However—there’s no need to rush. This kind of thing won’t be easy to accomplish. Let’s slowly gather clues. There are still three of our dreams that haven’t been fulfilled.”

Everyone agreed with the Abyss's overall plan for the future. Realizing their dreams while simultaneously seeking ways to claim the power of the Creator God for themselves and elevating their own status seemed to be the clearest path to success.

The Abyss had finally finished with Rebecca's task. Rebecca, though pleased with herself, wasn't overjoyed. However, as a dedicated alchemist, her first thought wasn't to throw a banquet, but rather to take a stroll through her alchemy laboratory to see if there was anything she could do after resolving her inner conflict.

Just as Rebecca was about to leave, Abyss suddenly grabbed her and shared a call from the communication ring with her.

"Who?" Rebecca asked, glancing at Abyss.

“It’s Lannis. She contacted me. It seems she’s run into some trouble. She hasn’t said anything since I got through.” Abyss frowned.

"Lanis?" Rebecca was taken aback. Lanis was one of her best friends and her best partner back then. Now that Lanis was in trouble, she was already extremely anxious even before hearing the details.

“Lanis, can you answer now?” Abyss asked.

“Phew…finally done with the work, Abyss boy. This ring you gave me is really nice. I can contact you without even using magic…Oh, right, I’m in trouble now. Can you come and help me?” Lanis’s voice came through magic.

Just as Lanis called for help from the Abyss, a spatial rift suddenly opened beside her, and the Abyss emerged directly from it, followed by Rebecca and Leona, who planned to come along as a henchman.

“Sure,” Abyss replied, standing beside Lannis.

"Wow—your support speed is really impressive." Lanis looked at the Abyss group with her signature slightly manic smile, and when she saw Rebecca, she said warmly, "Rebecca, you've arrived."

"Hmm, Lannis, what happened? We're here to help—is this your manor? It feels like a castle." Rebecca looked around at her surroundings.

Leona looked around curiously. She remembered Lannis saying she wanted to buy a manor in the Western Empire to live in, but the place they were in didn't look like a manor at all. The surroundings were made of large, sturdy-looking stone bricks, and there was no light source, so it was quite dark. However, as an undead, she could still see clearly in the dark.

Lanis looked rather disheveled; she was covered in dust and wore a dirty coat, as if she had crawled on the ground.

Boom!

Just as Rebecca was asking Lannis a question, a deafening roar came from above, and the place where they were standing shook violently. Sand and dirt rained down from the gaps in the bricks above their heads.

"I was suddenly attacked by a necromancer." Lanis looked up, brushed the sand off her head, and gave a cold smile. "This guy attacked me suddenly and almost killed me, but luckily I had already transformed my manor into a fortress that could withstand my own bombing, and I also built many secret passages, so I escaped. Now we are underground, and the defenses here are pretty good, but I don't know how long they will last."

Abyss patted Lannis on the shoulder and said to her, "You're safe now. We're here to help you take down this enemy."

“Be careful, this guy is weird. The bombs I planted outside hit him, but didn’t hurt him at all, and his attacks seem particularly strong,” Lanis warned Abyss from the side.

“That Lord of Delusion, of all my acquaintances, only Lanis is the most reclusive, so He chose to attack Lanis first. It seems He really wants to kill one of my acquaintances…” Abyss narrowed his eyes. “Well then, time is of the essence. I’m going to take action. Lanis, please open the exit of this underground space. I need to go and meet that person.”

“Then you’d better be careful. That guy is very strong, and his attacks are hard to defend against. He might have some trump cards he hasn’t used yet.” Lanis pulled a spray bottle out of her pocket and waved it in front of Abyss. “Want to spray some before the fight? This stuff explodes on your skin, it feels great.”

“No need, I have an even bigger explosion to watch in a bit,” Abis smiled slightly.

The exit of Lanis's underground space was a large stone slab made of very thick magic-resistant material. Lanis activated the mechanism, and the slab slowly moved aside, revealing a passageway for entry and exit.

Rebecca stayed with Lanis, while Abyss led Leona out through the exit.

Abyss had fought many necromancers before, but this was the first time he had faced a necromancer whose skills were enhanced by the power of an evil god. He would have to be extra careful this time.

Emerging from the underground passage, Abyss found himself inside the warehouse of the Lannice family manor. This warehouse, used for storing grain, was also sturdy, but it had developed obvious cracks, clearly indicating that the necromancer had used magic to attack the warehouse when forcing Lannice out.

Abyss opened the warehouse door and came out.

"Hey! You over there in the sky! Go unleash your fancy magic somewhere else!"

He shouted at a person floating in the sky.

The person in the sky slowly turned their gaze toward him.

“Abyss… Bellator… must be killed…”

The necromancer was practically an undead himself; his eyes flashed with a violent red light, and the moment he saw the Abyss, his entire aura became tense and menacing.

Chapter 234 Necromancers of the Summoning School

Just as the necromancer floating in the sky was about to launch a fierce attack on the Abyss, the figures of the Abyss and Leona suddenly disappeared from the spot.

No, it wasn't disappearance; rather, the two of them were moving at an incredibly fast speed. Their battle aura served as their primary propulsion, while magic cleared the air in front of them, creating a temporary vacuum. This allowed them to instantly and silently increase their speed to a level imperceptible to the human eye.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures appeared before the necromancer, who had a fierce expression and was poised to attack. Abyss extended one hand and gently patted the necromancer's body with the other, and the three of them vanished into the sky.

Abyss knew this evil god puppet would be quite troublesome, so they shouldn't fight on Lanis's estate. Lanis had used her life savings to build it; if the aftermath of their fight destroyed the place, Lanis would definitely be heartbroken.

Therefore, the Abyss shifted the battlefield to the Underworld.

"Abyss, must die!" The necromancer, finding himself transported to another dimension, showed no surprise whatsoever. His intense killing intent toward the Abyss left him no time to hesitate, and he released a large number of wraiths from a ring on his finger.

"Ugh, what is this? It's disgusting!" Leona exclaimed in disgust when she saw the ghost that the necromancer had suddenly released.

"The power of the Lord of Delusion has affected all the necromancy he uses, and even corrupted his magical bonds..." Abyss put a little distance between himself and Leona, watching the ghosts summoned by the necromancer.

These wraiths were unlike the green-glowing wraiths he usually summoned. These wraiths were more like large clumps of black mud gushing from the ring. The mud churned and transformed into humanoid monsters in the sky, baring their fangs and claws as they stared at Abyss and Leona.

“The Necromancer school,” Abyss said to Leona beside him. “The necromancers of this school are very troublesome. The wraiths under his command may have unexpected abilities. Never attack him directly without first figuring out the strength of his minions!”

Leona didn't quite understand why Abyss had made her so cautious: "Huh? Do we really need to go through all this? Why not just kill him? How much trouble can his ghosts cause?"

“If it were an ordinary necromancer, perhaps there would be no need to worry, but don’t forget that all the wraiths under his command are now enhanced by the power of the Lord of Delusion. We have no idea how much damage they can cause,” Abyss warned.

"I understand, I'll be careful, let's go!"

After Leona finished speaking, she rushed towards the necromancer like a shooting star. Abyss also moved almost simultaneously, flying from another direction towards the necromancer who was summoning ghosts in the sky.

A multitude of bone spikes coalesced around Abyss, raining down upon the necromancer and his wraiths. These bone spikes were imbued with the faint divine power of the Lord of the Fallen, possessing considerable destructive power against the puppets already controlled by the Lord of Delusion.

Leona's attack was even simpler and more brutal. She instantly conjured a short bow of aura in her hand, drew the bow, and fired an aura arrow that emitted an orange-red glow, piercing through the bodies of several wraiths and necromancers blocking her way.

In that instant, the necromancer, who had been summoning the undead, was pierced through like a sieve by Abyss and Leona, and his ghosts, like him, were riddled with holes.

However, such an attack was far too ineffective against the necromancer. What was revealed where his body had been pierced was not flesh and blood, but black mud. This black mud almost instantly healed all his wounds, and his undead also rapidly healed at the same time, and began to move, splitting into two groups to rush towards Leona and the Abyss.

“Conventional attacks won’t work on him, find his weakness!” Abyss immediately told Leona in their shared thoughts.

"I understand! What's with those undead? Why are they suddenly rushing towards us?"

"Be careful, don't let his spirits touch you. These things are a bit eerie, don't even think about destroying them!"

Abyss currently has no idea how to deal with this evil god puppet that was clearly a former high-ranking necromancer.

While the Lord of Delusion's power isn't particularly strong, it depends on the strength of the puppet it's applied to. This necromancer has summoned over a hundred ghosts, clearly quite powerful before the curse; now, with the Lord of Delusion's power amplified, they've become even more troublesome.

We must find his weakness and shatter his dreams!

"Hey friend, what's your dream? Can you tell me?" Abyss shouted at the necromancer as he dodged the ghosts that were frantically trying to hug him.

The necromancer, of course, did not communicate with the Abyss; he was still completely focused on manipulating the wraiths.

"How can you expect to get any results by asking so directly?" Leona mocked Abyss's bluntness, then shouted at the necromancer, "Hey, you idiot over there still playing with ghosts, dare to tell me your dream? You don't have any dreams, do you?"

The necromancer ignored Leona.

"Hiss... This shouldn't be the case..." Leona scratched her head. She thought her provocation would be very effective.

“This guy seems to be refusing to communicate; it looks like he’s been corrupted quite deeply by the Lord of Delusion,” Abyss said. “We’ll have to find his desires elsewhere.”

“How do we find it?” Leona asked.

“I don’t know either,” Abbott said frankly.

“Okay… wait, Abyss, his ghosts are accelerating, they’re several times faster than when they first started moving. Should we keep hiding?”

Leona suddenly realized that the wraiths chasing them were getting faster and faster. Although Abyss and Leona were already quite fast and weren't worried about being caught by the wraiths right now, if this continued, the wraiths were getting faster and faster, and Abyss and Leona would probably have to run at full speed.

"Try to avoid him. This guy hasn't made any other moves yet. He's probably just waiting for the ghosts to come near us!" Abyss said to Leona at this moment.

"Is there anything else we can do? This hiding and dodging is so boring."

“Hmm… Now that you mention it, I have an idea. Maybe I could play around with him,” Abyss said at this moment.

Chapter 235 The Elite Monster's Last Dignity

Leona was still dodging the ghosts' pursuit, while Abyss suddenly slowed down.

At that moment, a ghost grabbed one of the Abyss's legs, let out a joyful scream, and took a bite.

The ghost's bite didn't even pierce the Abyss's clothes, but he could still feel something being sucked out of the spot where the ghost bit down—a feeling very similar to the life-draining tentacles he encountered when fighting the Fallen Lord's minions, as if they were draining the Abyss's life force.

The Abyss's vitality is now many times greater than before. The power offerings from the five girls and Carol have made his spirit incredibly strong. Even if he lets this ghost drain his vitality now, he won't be in any trouble for a while.

The necromancer seemed somewhat surprised that the Abyss had suddenly allowed his ghost to possess him, but aside from a brief moment of stunned silence, he didn't react in any other way.

He started chanting incantations right there on the spot.

As the necromancer began chanting the incantation, Abyss could feel the suction from the black mud-like ghost clinging to him suddenly increase, and the rate at which his vitality was draining away also accelerated dramatically.

"Heh... So you're planning to defeat me this way?" Abyss smiled, completely unconcerned about the sudden increase in suction. Not to mention that Abyss's vitality was enough for this guy to suck for a while, Abyss's vitals were all stored in Helheim. If necessary, he could simply disconnect, and this necromancer wouldn't be able to suck anything away.

But at that moment, Abyss frowned again.

He sensed that while the ghost was absorbing vitality, it seemed to be trying to inject some power back into his body. Abyss quickly realized that it was the power of the Lord of Delusion.
