Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

Page 329

　Naslin made her promise, her eyes shining with determination and confidence, as if she had already foreseen a glorious future.

　As the agreement between the two parties was finalized, the light on the communication crystal gradually faded, returning to tranquility.

　Gazing at the now calm and crystal-clear crystal, Naslin felt a mixture of relief and anticipation.

　She knew that with the success of this negotiation, only one obstacle remained on her path to becoming the Demon Lord of the 406th Abyss Layer—the Lesser Demon Lord who was her adversary.

　Having successfully resolved the problem of the necromancer she feared most, the lesser demon lord who insisted on his own way and refused to back down like the Shadow Fiend Lord was no longer a thorny issue for her.

　Standing up, she strolled to the palace window, gazing at the scenery outside, her eyes flashing with determination and ruthlessness.

　"Your era has come to an end, and I will step over your corpse to ascend to the supreme position of demon lord..."

　Naslin muttered to herself, her voice revealing an undeniable domineering presence and determination.

　As it turns out, the succubus lord's confidence was not unfounded.

　After a series of meticulous planning and fierce battles, Naslin finally defeated the lesser demon lord who was vying with her for the position of demon lord of the 406th layer of the abyss.

　At this point, she was only one step away from truly becoming the Demon Lord of the 406th Abyss Layer—

　Waiting for the necromancer Moros to fulfill his contract and leave the abyss.

Chapter 632 The End of the Hero Template Promotion Quest

　Time moves forward.

　After signing a new devil's pact with the succubus lord Naslin, Moros took a portion of the magical knowledge entrusted to him by the succubus lord and retreated into a temporary spell workshop.

　This new contract certainly brought the necromancer a broader range of magical wisdom; however, in exchange, the time he could leave the Abyss was also strictly limited.

　And since one of the settlement methods for this hero template promotion mission is to leave the bottomless abyss.

　In other words, the moment he leaves the abyss, this long and arduous journey of becoming a hero template will come to an end.

　This isn't the first time Moros has carried out a hero template promotion quest.

　He understood perfectly well that he could bring nothing back with him except knowledge during the hero template promotion mission.

　In this situation, a necromancer who knows the value of time would certainly not waste a single ounce of energy on trivial territorial expansion or resource plunder.

　Compared to the territories and resources that can only be enjoyed briefly during missions and are fleeting like passing clouds, the magical knowledge that can accompany him back to Earth and become his permanent wealth is undoubtedly the most treasured gem he cherishes.

　Therefore, after returning to the temporary spell workshop, Moros devoted all his attention to the in-depth exploration and memorization of magical knowledge.

　Especially the latter.

　Even after four leaps in life level, the necromancer's wisdom has achieved a qualitative leap.

　However, it remains an impossible task to fully master the vast magical knowledge obtained from Naslin within just one and a half years.

　However, simply memorizing these precious magical knowledge was not an unattainable dream for Moros, a demigod-level necromancer.

　With just two to three years of tireless effort, he was confident that he could engrave all that magical knowledge deep into his memory.

　As a demigod, with the aid of magical potions, although the process would be extremely arduous and exhausting, working tirelessly for two to three years without sleep was feasible for him.

　As for how to cleverly extend the original one and a half years to two or three years, that would depend on the legendary spell he recently learned, [Time Warp Field].

　Despite Moros's current level of mastery over the Time Warp Field, he is still unable to cast this legendary spell freely in intense demigod-level battles.

　However, if it's just a way to increase research time during regular periods of focused research, then he is capable of doing it.

　With the necromancer's in-depth research and understanding of this legendary spell, extending the objective time of one and a half years to the actual time of two to three years was not a difficult task for him.

　Of course, this also requires him to pay a small price.

　Whether it's keeping an extremely complex and difficult legendary spell permanently in a temporary spell workshop, or casting this legendary spell from time to time, it requires a large amount of precious magical materials.

　This is undoubtedly a considerable expense.

　However, compared to the extra time spent researching spells, this cost is negligible.

　To make the most of this hard-won time, Moros began to carefully plan his study and research, striving to make the most of every minute and second.

　He first meticulously categorized and organized the magical knowledge provided by Naslin, dividing it into three levels: basic theory, advanced techniques, and profound mysteries. He then decided to tackle it step by step, starting from the basics and gradually moving to more advanced ones.

　At the level of basic theory, Moros quickly mastered the complex yet fundamental knowledge thanks to his profound understanding of the nature of magic.

　For a demigod-level necromancer, this was not something incomprehensible.

　Upon reaching the advanced skill stage, he further utilized the legendary spell [Time Warp Field] to create a small space where the flow of time was accelerated even more.

　In this unique space, necromancers can repeatedly learn and meticulously study those complex and exquisite magical techniques without worrying about the passage of time.

　As for the practical part, although he is currently pressed for time and cannot carry out a lot of practical operations as usual, he has never given up in the slightest because of this.

　On the contrary, he cherishes every rare opportunity for practical experience and devotes himself wholeheartedly to the limited practical opportunities.

　The greatest experience and gains are drawn from practice.

　The necromancer displayed a remarkable self-awareness regarding the most advanced and profound legendary magical knowledge.

　He knew that his time and energy were limited, so he simply memorized this knowledge and waited for the opportunity to explore and practice it in depth in the future.

　Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the contract signed with the succubus lord has reached its final day.

　Sitting upright at the table, Moros's quill pen danced lightly in his hand, sketching lines of profound words on the journal.

　The vast majority of the contents of this spellbook are about his research on the [Time Warp Field] and his insights into this spell, as well as his speculations and imaginations about other legendary spells.

　With the final stroke, the necromancer casually tore open the barrier of space, effortlessly linking a mysterious location in the distance with this space.

　Immediately afterwards, he threw the spellbook, which was protected by layers of spells, into the spatial rift without hesitation.

　After completing this series of actions, Moros slowly stood up, waved his sleeve, and summoned a group of skeleton servants.

　They meticulously arranged his clothes, handling every detail perfectly to ensure the necromancer's appearance was dignified and impeccable.

　After all this was done, without Moros giving any further instructions, the skeleton servants, under the precise control of the artificial soul aggregate that managed the temporary spell workshop, returned to their original positions in an orderly manner, awaiting the next summons.

　"It's time to say goodbye."

　His gaze swept over the temporary spell workshop that had been his home for six years, and a faint sense of nostalgia unconsciously flashed in Moros's eyes.

　This is not surprising.

　Even including those six years, his entire lifespan was only a mere thirty-five years.

　This workshop witnessed two-sevenths of his life.

　However, despite his reluctance, the shackles of the devil's contract relentlessly reminded him that he had to leave the abyss within this day.

　Admittedly, given Moros's current strength, which is considered among the best in the demigod class, he could, if he were willing to pay the price, withstand the punishment of the devil's contract and forcibly remain in the 406th layer of the abyss for a period of time.

　But this is clearly unnecessary.

　Rather than suffer the punishment of the devil's contract, he would rather turn around gracefully and end this hero template promotion mission that had cost him countless efforts and time.

　[Hero Template Promotion Begins...]

　"Whoo~"

　Standing in the center of the Lord's Hall, bathed in the faint, hazy glow emanating from the [Lord's Heart] floating before him, Moros, recovering from the familiar dizziness, exhaled a long breath.

　Feeling the unprecedented transformation brought about by the triple advancement, an uncontrollable look of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

　That was the heartfelt joy of having one's desire for increased power fulfilled.

　The boost that this Hero Template Promotion Quest (purple) brings to the Necromancer can be described as...

　Unprecedented in history.

　This is not only reflected in the generous mission rewards brought by the S-level rating, but also in the various trials and tribulations experienced during the mission.

　The precious magical knowledge and the improvement of magical skills were like the bright stars in the night sky, adorning and illuminating his path of growth.

　Of course, the rewards for this hero template promotion mission are unprecedented in their extravagance.

　It truly lives up to its S-level rating; the reward certainly did not disappoint my expectations!

　The +25 base attribute bonus to all attributes caused his strength to surge dramatically in an instant.

　What delighted the necromancer even more was that, with the improvement of his basic attributes, he also gained knowledge of four brand-new super magic techniques.

　These super magic techniques are like a treasure tailor-made for him. If he can fully master them, his spellcasting ability will surely reach a new peak.

　If he were to learn the profound and powerful magical knowledge provided by the succubus lord Naslin, Moros's strength would undoubtedly be enhanced to an unprecedented degree.

　At that time, he will leap from his current ordinary demigod-level spellcaster to a super strong person who is only one step away from the limit of demigod.

　The biggest difference between a demigod at the limit and an ordinary demigod lies in the ability to briefly unleash terrifying power beyond the demigod level at crucial moments.

　It is obvious that even if the necromancer fully digests all the gains from this hero template promotion mission, he can clearly realize that he is not yet able to cross this insurmountable barrier and reach that extraordinary realm comparable to the Commander.

　But this did not stop him from moving forward and constantly pursuing higher realms.

　With all the magical knowledge of the Ashan World Cemetery faction, and that demiplane that can be considered an absolutely safe escape route, Moros believed that given enough time, he was confident that he could explore not only the Realm of the Commanders, but also the Realm of the Star Gods where the Cocoon of the End stood, and glimpse its mysteries.

　Getting back to the main point, after carefully reviewing all the gains from this hero template upgrade mission and having some wonderful thoughts about the future, the necromancer turned his attention to the completely revamped hero panel.
