Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

"Hmph!" Morpheus slammed the bone fragment to the ground, but the hard bone fragment did not shatter; it simply rolled into the corner of the wall.

His chest heaved violently, and his face turned pale and then flushed.

He didn't know who the word "useless" was referring to, but it infuriated him.

It's only natural for him to call the apprentices and bone snakes trash.

Marfa, this woman who is skilled at manipulating souls and memories, is merely a partner with him, each taking what they need, and is not his boss!

Why are you mocking him?

The original plan was for Marfa to provide intelligence and some resources, while he would be responsible for the specific operations, and the high-quality materials would be distributed after the success.

But this failure clearly left Marfa extremely dissatisfied.

"Marfa...you're just a little stronger than me, how dare you insult me ​​like this!" Morpheus muttered through gritted teeth.

"In terms of spiritual mastery, I am no less than you. If my main soul were to devour that damned brat..."

Just then, Morpheus, who was grumbling, suddenly stiffened, and his face instantly turned pale!

"Ugh—!!!"

A muffled groan of extreme pain escaped his throat!

He clutched his head tightly with both hands, curled up on his knees, and trembled violently all over!

Deep within his soul, a soul that had been barely sealed by layers of shackles and witchcraft arrays erupted violently once again!

A portion of the soul broke through the seal and fiercely attacked his main soul!

A terrifying, soul-tearing sensation swept through my entire body, a pain a thousand times greater than any physical injury!

He felt as if his consciousness was being torn to pieces, with countless chaotic whispers and screams exploding in his mind!

"Cersei...Cersei!!!"

Morpheus's eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fingernails dug deep into the ground, leaving bloody marks.

He let out a beast-like growl, filled with endless resentment and hatred, "I'm not done with you!!!"

This backlash was particularly strong, lasting for a full quarter of an hour before gradually subsiding.

Morpheus collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, his breath extremely weak, and his soul severely damaged.

He struggled to climb to the edge of the lab table, trembling as he grabbed a few bottles of strangely colored soul-repairing potions and gulped them down.

Then he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, only heavy, painful breathing remaining.

Two despicable women!

...

In the days that followed, Lynn stayed peacefully in Gregor's laboratory.

He wasted not a single second, devoting himself entirely to consolidating his power, adapting to his new body, and preparing for his quest to become a full-fledged wizard.

The first thing he did was to ask Gregor to replace the laboratory's heavy roof with an "observation crystal dome" that was highly transparent and had powerful energy filtering and protection functions.

This is not only to absorb stellar power, but also to observe the "sacred marks" in the sky.

Although Gregor found it a bit strange, considering Lynn's newly acquired Star Affinity talent, he didn't ask any further questions and quickly arranged for someone to complete the modification.

So every day, Lynn would sit cross-legged in the center of the laboratory, looking up at the eternal sky that, even after being filtered by the crystal dome, still appeared bizarre and surreal.

His gaze pierced through the dome and landed on the holy marks that stretched across the sky.

[Analysis] After the surge in mental power and the transformation of the soul, the ability has evolved to a new level.

He channeled this power into the celestial markings that represented the power and rules of the Stigmata Wizards.

The Holy Marks above the Eternal Night Graveyard consist of seven main bodies and twelve sub-bodies.

The seven main elements are: death, soul, the dead, flesh and blood, bones, space, and time.

These seven main components constitute the basic structure of the "Eternal Night Graveyard".

The twelve sub-levels include Earth, Negative Energy, Shadow, Annihilation, Curse, Plague, War, Contract, Fear, Toxin, Structure, and Ice.

Lynn's goal is to obtain the other ten minor stigmata besides poison and ice.

Unfortunately, the "analysis" function can only perform ten tasks at a time at present. More "workstations" will be added once you advance in rank.

However, these ten sacred marks are enough for him to analyze for a long time.

Lynn's move was undoubtedly an extremely bold, even insane, act.

Stigmata are marks left by powerful beings who have touched the rules of the world; even formal wizards dare not observe them for long periods of time.

Even simple observation may carry the risk of information overload or rule contamination.

Forcing an analysis could attract the attention or backlash of the Holy Mark's will.

However, Lynn possessed a soul that had broken through limits, and with the dual protection of the Tear of Tranquility and the Heart of the Stars, his mental strength had reached an unprecedented level.

Perhaps... we can skirt the line?

He carefully began to analyze, record, and understand the rules from the very edge of those holy marks.

This is rule-level knowledge. If I want to achieve the "All Things" feat, I can't waste time. I must seize every minute and second to analyze the Holy Marks.

If we wait until the third ring stage to observe and analyze, it will be too late, and it will seriously delay his advancement to the Saint Mark.

As the analysis continues, a new section on the panel called "Stigmata Rule Fragment (Bone Spire Series)" is slowly filling up.

Besides gazing upon the sacred marks, Lynn also reorganized and optimized all the witchcraft models he had mastered.

With the support of his new talents and powerful mental strength, he optimized many apprentice-level spells to a level that was almost instantaneous and had doubled their power.

At the same time, his mentor found some celestial and spatial witchcraft for him to analyze and master.

He also began to try to construct his own prototype of zero-level magic tricks and even apprentice-level sorcery based on star affinity and spatial affinity.

Lynn devoted a significant amount of time to studying spatial magic, in particular.

He wanted to have his own huge "Undead Space" after breaking through to become a formal wizard.

Although the research progressed slowly, each successful energy configuration deepened his understanding of the new power.

As for first-circle sorcery, Lynn also tried it after his mental strength reached 200 points.

Unfortunately, because his mental vortex has not yet solidified, he is unable to construct a first-circle spell, let alone solidify his "natal spell".

Natal magic, also known as "original magic".

It is the first core magical model that a formal wizard builds based on their own soul essence, core knowledge, and affinity with rules, and that will accompany them throughout their life.

The power of innate sorcery has three major advantages.

First, it coexists with the soul, growing infinitely!

The innate magical model is directly engraved on the soul, coexisting with the wizard's soul.

It will naturally grow, optimize, and even undergo adaptive transformation as the wizard's strength increases, knowledge accumulates, and understanding of the rules improves, possessing theoretically unlimited evolutionary potential!

Secondly, it is almost instinctive, thus amplifying its power.

Because of its high affinity with the soul, casting one's innate magic is almost instinctive, the casting speed is extremely fast, the energy consumption is far lower than that of magic of the same level, and the power is usually significantly enhanced.

Thirdly, one's innate sorcery is related to the future prototype of the domain and the foundation of the sacred marks.

A powerful and distinctive innate sorcery often serves as the core seed and blueprint for the future construction of the "Sacred Mark Domain".

Its direction largely determines the future path of wizards.

Most wizards will choose a suitable defensive spell and inscribe it as their innate spell to greatly enhance their ability to survive.

Gregor is a case in point; his "Gregor's Paradoxical Bias" is the result of the continuous evolution and transformation of his innate sorcery.

Lynn did not intend to follow the conventional steps in creating defensive magic; instead, he prepared to create the magic he had been constantly improving and optimizing—necromancy!

At the same time, Lynn also asked Gregor for several advanced meditation techniques with different focuses for analysis.

In the final days before becoming a full-fledged wizard, he needs to make a choice: either... create a meditation method that best suits him.

Lynn was so immersed in the fulfillment of rapid growth and knowledge acquisition that he almost forgot the passage of time.

The ups and downs within the academy seemed to have nothing to do with him for the time being.
