Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The entire strengthening process lasted for three days and three nights.

As the last trace of energy subsided and Lynn wearily withdrew his hands, the newly formed Megatron slowly opened his eyes.

"roar---!!!"

The dragon's roar was no longer a simple, furious howl, but a terrifying sound wave that combined the majesty of a monarch, the rumble of the earth, and the low whistle of destruction!

The laboratory's multiple protective arrays flickered rapidly, as if it had just weathered a storm!

Lynn couldn't wait to check its attributes.

[Target]: Skeleton Tyrannosaurus Rex (a skeletal dragon descendant that combines the traits of King/Titan/Earth/Destruction)

[Rank]: Level 4 Beginner (Calamity Level)

[Features and Capabilities Updates]:

1. [King's Domain - Dragon's Might Suppresses Soul]: Within a certain range of Megatron, all hostile units will continuously suffer the dual mental pressure of dragon's might and calamity-level death aura. Lower-level units will directly lose their fighting spirit or fall into panic. It has an additional deterrent effect on dragon-born and undead units of the same or lower level.

2. [Titan Skeleton - Undying Barrier]: Significantly increases physical defense and energy resistance. The fusion of Titan Alloy and Earth Core Gold grants its skeleton physical strength approaching that of legendary creatures, providing extremely high damage reduction against physical attacks of level 3 and below, as well as conventional elemental attacks. Its earth-based properties further enhance its defense and regeneration when rooted in the ground.

3. [Destructive Lava Dragon Breath]: Unleashes a torrent of dark gold lava, characterized by high temperature, high corrosiveness, and the concept of "destruction." It possesses terrifying, continuous burning and physical impact, as well as erosion, weakening the target's energy defenses, magical effects, and even material structure. Range, area of ​​effect, and duration are all significantly increased.

4. [Mountain Collision - Earth Pulse]: When launching a charge, you can briefly draw upon the power of the earth beneath your feet to create a small array of earth spikes to clear a path or disrupt enemies, and your impact will also have a shockwave effect, which will deal damage and stun to groups of enemies upon hit.

5. [Unyielding Dragon Soul - Symbiotic Feedback]: The soul connection with the host is elevated. When either the host or the main body suffers a potentially fatal attack, the connection passively triggers a powerful damage sharing and mitigation (the effect depends on the status of both parties). The host can also actively use the connection to remotely infuse energy into the main body or fine-tune commands.

6. [Lord's Command]: Due to its fusion of monarchical essence and powerful dragon might, it has a natural command and control bonus against skeletal and dragonborn undead units of level 3 and below, and can more effectively command them to fight together.

...

Megatron's abilities have been greatly enhanced, and he has gained several new abilities, including [Titan Bones - Undying Barrier], [Unyielding Dragon Soul - Symbiotic Feedback], and [Lord's Domination], resulting in a dramatic change in his strength.

In particular, the Lord's Command transformed Megatron from a mere mount into the future commander of the skeletal and dragonborn undead legions.

After its advancement, Megatron's "spirituality" increased greatly. Adapting to its new power, it lowered its head and gently rubbed its ferocious head, covered in alloy and crystals, against Lynn.

Although its form is more terrifying and majestic, the dependence and loyalty conveyed by the soul fire remain unchanged, and have become even more profound due to the sublimation of the soul connection.

Lynn stroked its cold bones, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Very good..." Lynn murmured to herself.

"Next, it's time to visit your people."

Over the past three months, Lynn has learned about his situation after he dies by communicating with Megatron and Gale's soulfire.

He never forgot the sacrifices and loyalty of the Earth Dragon Clan and the Bone Raven Clan.

Now, he has enough power to truly bring them under his command and make them the first cornerstone of the future "Star Legion".

Perfect timing! My mental strength has greatly increased, and the undead space is extremely spacious. I can capture a few undead groups to fill it up.

There's no rush to get certified as a full-fledged wizard.

Now that he has been hiding in the laboratory for a long time, Morpheus, that soul-stripper, has no idea what's going on with him, it's safest to go out now.

If we were to go for certification, the matter of becoming a newly appointed official wizard would inevitably cause a huge uproar, and who knows what trouble we might encounter if we wanted to go out then.

After greeting Gregor, he once again used his teleportation array to directly arrive at "Raven Outpost," the closest point to the Skeleton Earth Dragon Clan.

...

Crow Outpost.

Before the gray light from the transmission had completely dissipated, a tidal wave of noisy conversations and haggling swept in from all around.

This place is much busier than other outposts.

After all, it's not far from the academy, and there are undead of all levels from 1 to 3 around it, so there are plenty of quests.

Lynn discreetly stepped out of Gregor's private teleportation array, his face still bearing the "Mimicry" spell.

To avoid trouble, he disguised himself as a cold-faced young man.

However, his composed aura, so different from that of the other third-class apprentices, attracted countless eyes even when he tried his best to conceal it.

This person is definitely not simple! He is probably among the top group even among the third-class apprentices.

But...why does he look so unfamiliar?

Several seasoned veterans, whose auras were among the best of the third-class apprentices, almost instinctively gathered around, their faces expertly plastered with smiles that carried a hint of probing.

"Hey kid, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time at Raven Outpost? There's some good stuff up at 'Rotting Mud' lately, wanna come along...?"

An apprentice with a scar on his face came closest, and his hand seemed to instinctively reach out to pat Lynn on the shoulder to get closer.

However, before his hand could even touch Lynn's wizard robe, an invisible and intangible spiritual pressure suddenly blocked his way and unceremoniously "pushed" him backward!

The scarred apprentice staggered back several steps, his face turning deathly pale, as if his soul had been frozen.

The other apprentices who wanted to step forward were also struck dumb, frozen in place, their eyes filled with horror.

This ability to create a repulsive force field purely through mental power, and to control it with such ease and precision...

This is something a third-class apprentice could never do!

"Formal...formal Wizard!"

The scarred apprentice's voice trembled, and his knees buckled, almost causing him to kneel down.

"I...I was blind and ignorant, and offended you, sir! Please forgive me!"

He slapped himself hard across the face, bowed repeatedly, and didn't dare to lift his head.

The other apprentices also seemed to wake up from their daze, bowing and apologizing, no longer daring to have the slightest thought of approaching or spying.

When did such a young, fully-fledged wizard appear in the academy?

Could it be a disguise?

But in any case, they are not people that these young apprentices can afford to mess with.

Lynn ignored their apologies, his calm gaze sweeping over the outpost before heading straight to a section of the wall that had crumbled and leaving the outpost.

He summoned a skeletal warhorse, mounted it, and galloped toward the skeletal dragon race.

Last time, Megatron charged directly into the academy's territory, causing quite a stir. If he were released directly, his identity might be exposed.

He mounted the bone horse and left the outpost amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the apprentices.

The apprentices who had been trying to strike up a conversation straightened up and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

They looked at each other, exchanged glances, but didn't say a word.

Who knows what tricks the wizard has up his sleeve? If he senses our mutterings, we're really doomed.
