Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The two chatted about everything under the sun in a lively atmosphere, and rode side by side across the wasteland, each with their own ulterior motives.

Lynn lost interest in "catching babies" along the way, focusing all her energy on maintaining her disguise, being wary of the other party, and finding a safe way to escape or return to the academy.

He just wanted to get there as quickly as possible, to reach a gathering place where there was a formal wizard in charge, or at least a large and well-known area.

Since this demon went to such lengths to infiltrate the wizarding world, it couldn't have been for the simple purpose of killing, could it?

As night fell, the dim light of the eternal cemetery vanished completely, leaving only a faint, eerie green phosphorescence of unknown origin.

It would be somewhat abnormal to continue traveling at full speed at this point.

Lynn commanded Megatron to stop, and Ollie stopped as well. His skeletal horse's soul fire was extremely dim, and its bones were covered with tiny cracks.

The two stopped behind a large, sheltered rock, intending to rest and camp there temporarily.

Lynn silently set up his protective tent and deployed undead sentry posts around it.

The Death Knight, the Hammer, and several Bone Crows stood guard in the shadows, while Little Black and Wu Liuqi lurked in their own shadows.

Gu Erdan, Wei Zhentian, and Brother A surrounded the tent, keeping a watchful eye on any nearby movements.

Although we don't know the strength of the demon in front of us, being more prepared will give us more peace of mind.

After setting up the tent, Lynn lit a campfire and took out some ingredients such as chocobo wings, giant sloth paws, monitor lizard tails, and ice crystal frog legs, skewered them, and grilled them over the fire.

Spread a mixture of ground red dragon's breath chili peppers and lava honey evenly over the skewers to enhance the flavor of the grilled meat.

I cooked another pot of salty cream mushroom soup and added a few uniquely flavored fiery berries to it for flavor.

Demons, well, they should be more interested in meat and spicy flavors, right?

The tenderest ice crystal frog legs were grilled first, and Lynn "generously" gave the frog legs, along with a bowl of hot soup, to Ollie.

Ollie accepted the food without hesitation, sniffing the wafting aroma of meat, a hint of curiosity about the new thing flashing in his eyes.

The demons in the abyss are mostly bloodthirsty, drinking the most primal essence of their prey's flesh and blood; they would never cook like this.

Ollie imitated Lynn by taking a bite of the roasted frog leg and chewing it a few times.

Mmm...smells good!

Who researched this thing?

After taking another sip of the hot soup and finally tasting the fiery berry, Ollie's face immediately broke into an almost theatrical expression of admiration:

"Delicious! So delicious! I didn't know Lynn was an expert in this! This is so much better than eating magic cookies and nutritional paste! This fruit... has a really unique flavor!"

It seems to be particularly interested in strong, pungent flavors.

Special? Isn't this just super hot chili pepper? Looks like the devil can handle spicy food quite well...

But what are magic cookies and nutritional paste? They sound a bit like "soldier rations," probably supplies for the front lines.

This Ori is unfamiliar with the common diet of wizarding apprentices, which suggests that his understanding of the wizarding world is extremely limited, and most of his information probably comes from the front lines.

However, this also suggests that the animal itself may have never needed or come into contact with this type of food.

Although its disguise was perfect, its behavior eventually revealed its flaws.

"If you like it, that's fine. The food in the wild is too simple, let's just make do with what we have. We'll have a big meal when we get to the academy."

While grilling skewers, Lynn chatted casually with Ollie.

Although extremely curious about the Endless Abyss, Lynn did not recklessly ask any questions about it.

If Ollie senses something is wrong and drags him to the Endless Abyss, then he's doomed.

Soon, the other skewers were also grilled, and the two of them kept showing off their skewers, their mouths dripping with oil as they ate.

Especially the giant ground sloth, with its thick, meaty paws, firm texture, and rich, oozing juices, is incredibly satisfying with every bite.

This gave Ollie a real treat. If he drank a few more bottles of rum, he'd probably be sworn brothers with Lynn right now.

After finishing all the food, Ollie licked his lips contentedly.

What kind of miserable lives did we live before? These damned wizards know how to enjoy life.

After cleaning up the mess, Lynn politely greeted Ollie.

"Senior Ollie, get some rest. We'll continue our journey tomorrow."

After saying that, he went straight into the tent and activated the simple warning runes inside.

Outside the tent, the demon apprentice stared at Lynn's tightly closed tent flap, a wide grin spreading across his face.

It licked its lips with a lingering relish, then pulled out a more exquisite tent than Lynn's from an inconspicuous cloth bag at its waist and skillfully set it up.

Nothing happened that night. Lynn's meditation that night was only a superficial recovery, with most of his mental energy devoted to perceiving the outside world.

He could sense that the other person's tent was unusually quiet, without any of the energy fluctuations that should be present in meditation, only silence.

The next morning, Lynn finished her meditation almost at the last minute and stepped out of the tent.

Almost simultaneously, Ollie emerged, looking energetic, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning, Lynn. Did you sleep well last night?" It smiled as warmly as ever.

"It's alright, the wind in this wasteland is quite noisy."

Lynn nodded in response and handed over a buttered bread and a bottle of juice.

Compared to yesterday's sumptuous dinner, today's breakfast was rather simple.

Lynn didn't have time to waste here.

Eat early so we can get going and escape this demon...

The two quickly finished their meal and continued on their way.

Lynn casually glanced at the bone horse under Ollie's hind legs.

Although it was very similar to the one from yesterday, Lynn was quite certain that it was not the same one from yesterday.

It seems that the skeletal horse was overwhelmed by Ollie's "nitro boost" and has retired honorably.

The power of demons is not so easy to withstand.

The two traveled at a brisk pace, with Ollie constantly asking about the situation at Lynn Academy and learning about the strengths and areas of expertise of each instructor.

Lynn rarely attended classes at the academy and only learned about the various mentors at the apprentice recruitment fair.

He gave a general overview of the heads and main advisors of each department, as well as their areas of expertise.

Ollie was extremely interested in Victor, the "Skeleton King," because there was an extremely terrifying black wizard in the Bone Corrosion Starfield who had caused great losses to the Abyss Legion.

He is none other than the Lord of the Undead – Negras!

Nagras has been famous for many years, in charge of the necromancy system, the academy's defense, and the conquest of the outer dimensions. He is the actual controller of the military power of the Bone Spire Academy and one of the three deputy tower masters.

His undead army is the main force behind the Academy's external conquests.

The renowned Victor was his disciple and his future successor.

If Victor was a general in foreign wars, then Negras was the true "Grand Marshal"!
