Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The deacon gave instructions to his colleagues that someone else would be coming to exchange items and would cover for him, then got up and led the way.

The two walked quickly and soon left the academy and arrived at the outer perimeter of the Howling Beast Pen.

The steward first showed Lynn the few remaining Calamity-level undead.

He took out a universal key and opened the corresponding animal pens one by one.

Lynn discovered upon entering that opening the stable did not mean facing the Calamity-level undead directly, as there were also restrictions inside the stable.

A tattered lich was meditating with its eyes closed in the center of the stable, showing no reaction to the two people's entry.

Liches are high-class among the undead, occupying an important position in the undead legions that fight against the outside world from the Bone Spire.

Lynn checked its attributes and found that its potential was low and its skills were mediocre. Its only highlight was its ability to resurrect the dead.

Without looking back, he turned and left, deciding to check all the Calamity-level undead first.

The butler patiently showed Lynn the animals one by one, and finally selected three.

--------

[Lava Skeleton Colossus] (Level 4, Beginner): Forged from millennia-old lava from deep within a volcano and the remains of a Titan, possessing terrifying defensive capabilities and capable of spewing lava, but moving extremely slowly. Price: 12000 Merit Points.

[Skills and Traits]:

1. Lava Titan Body: Extremely high physical defense, with absolute resistance to fire, high temperature, blunt force, and slashing, but relatively vulnerable to frost, water, and powerful acid attacks. It emits high temperature, and enemies that get close will suffer continuous burns.

2. Earthquake Shock: When moving, the heavy footsteps will cause a small area of ​​ground vibration, which has an additional destructive effect on buildings and dense formations.

3. Lava eruption: (omitted)...

4. Lava Armor: (omitted)...

5. Powerful Stomp: (omitted)...

...

[Silent Reaper] (Level 4, Beginner): A rare undead creature with both spirit and physical forms, adept at stealth and one-hit kills, and possesses extremely high resistance to soul damage. Price: 11000 Merit Points.

[Skills and Traits]:

1. Dual-state switching: Can freely switch between physical form (black-robed, scythe-wielding form) and spirit form (semi-transparent, shadowy form). In physical form, can perform physical attacks and withstand physical damage. In spirit form, physical damage reduction is extremely high, can penetrate non-magical physical obstacles, moves silently and at extremely high speed, but receives increased damage from light, holy, and lightning.

2. Soul Resistance: Slightly...

3. Whispers of Death: (omitted)...

4. Shadow Strike: (omitted)...

5. Silent Domain: Creates a silent domain where sound is greatly suppressed and spellcasting is hindered.

6. Harvest markings: Omitted...

...

【Corrupted Ancient Tree Guardian】(Level 4, Beginner): Originally a demigod ancient tree of the forest, it has been corrupted and transformed by death energy. It possesses powerful life-draining and area-of-effect poison abilities and can take root in the earth to form a temporary domain. Price: 10000 Merit Points.

[Skills and Traits]:

1. Twisted Vitality: Once a vibrant ancient tree, it was corrupted by deep death energy, but its life essence was not completely annihilated, forming a form in which life and death coexist in a twisted way, possessing some plant characteristics and undead traits.

2. Rooted in the Earth: Allows roots to penetrate deep into the earth, temporarily connecting with the ley lines. During this time, the user cannot move, but their defense and health regeneration are greatly increased, and they can draw energy from the earth. The longer the roots remain rooted, the greater the temporary bonus. However, re-uprooting takes time and results in a brief period of weakness.

3. Spread of corruption: (omitted)...

4. Life draws from the roots: (omitted)...

5. Cloud of putrefactive spores: (omitted)...

6. Deadly whipping: (omitted)...

...

These three level 4 monsters have a total of 33000 merit points. Lynn has just enough merit points, with a surplus of over 600.

These three calamity-level undead each had their own strengths; the colossus and the ancient tree were both enormous, and Lynn took a liking to them at first sight.

He just likes big ones!

Among them, the "Lava Skeleton Colossus" is as tall as eighteen meters. Its main body is actually composed of the legendary Titan skeleton, but its body surface is covered with dark red lava, making it impossible to see the Titan skeleton at all.

The academy was also unaware of its composition, which is why Lynn benefited from it.

If we were to actually dig up the Titan's remains, it wouldn't be something that could be bought with just over a thousand merit points; its value would increase several times over.

The colossus was like a moving hill, and wherever it moved, a smooth road automatically formed.

The heat emanating from its body is astonishing, making it impossible for ordinary creatures to approach.

When Lynn saw it, it was as if he saw a popular hero from his past life—Morpheus, the Lava Giant.

That is, the stone man...

The ancient tree was also quite peculiar; it was a giant oak tree that existed between life and death.

The ancient tree is about sixteen meters tall, with a thick trunk but full of cracks, from which viscous, dark green sap seeps out.

Through the cracks, one can see that the interior is not healthy wood, but rather purplish-black fibers resembling necrotic muscle.

Its branches no longer grow towards the sky, but twist and droop like tentacles, with sharp, spear-like tips covered in highly poisonous fungi.

The bark on the "face" area of ​​the trunk is twisted into a painful and angry wooden face, while the root system is exposed on the ground like giant pythons.

Hmm... Maokai, the Twisted Tree Spirit, commonly known as—the Big Tree.

The final "Silent Reaper" is a pure assassin with both physical and spiritual forms.

The entity was a tall, thin humanoid figure wielding a giant bone scythe and wearing an ancient black robe. Beneath the robe, however, there was no physical entity, but rather a swirling cloud of gray mist.

Its spirit form is a constantly twisting and changing dark gray shadow, with the outline of a scythe-wielding human figure still vaguely remaining, capable of penetrating most obstacles.

This is... Kayn?

This Silent Reaper seems rather ordinary compared to the Stone Golem and the Tree; its only highlight might be its ability to switch between reality and illusion.

However, compared to other calamity-level undead, this assassin is relatively easier to use.

Among the undead, there are relatively more tanks and warriors, while there are fewer ranged archers and mages.

Moreover, the methods used by mages are basically limited to cursing to weaken or attacking with negative energy or death energy, making their methods relatively simple.

After selecting the Calamity-level undead, there are more options for the remaining level 3 undead.

Lynn used his remaining merit points and 50,000 contribution points to exchange for seventeen level 3 undead with potential ratings of "high" or "extremely high".

It covers various types including assassins, tanks, mages, and supports.
