Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

As time went by, Lynn became increasingly grateful that she hadn't left alone.

If Lynn hadn't been there, the fetus would probably have drained Arya of all her nutrients, and when she returned, she would have found both mother and child dead...

Under Lynn's meticulous care, Arya struggled to maintain her pregnancy, a situation that lasted for a year.

That's right, the fetus has been developing for a whole year!

On the day of the due date, the atmosphere in Shadow Mine was more solemn and tense than usual.

The stationed undead seemed to be affected by this atmosphere, and they all became more vigilant.

Production by an "apprentice" is nothing special, but with Lynn's title of "Second Circle Official Wizard of the Bone Spire," this production becomes extremely complicated.

However, Lynn had previously given strict orders not to leak the news, lest it attract those with ulterior motives.

After all, he did have a few enemies.

A group dispatched by the Nightsong family arrived early. In addition to experienced midwives and maids, the patriarch Vera—Arya's mother—also came in person.

Vera met Lynn outside the makeshift delivery room inside the fortress.

She immediately bowed, her posture as respectful as ever: "Lord Lynn, thank you for your concern regarding my daughter's matter."

Lynn was closing her eyes and regulating her breathing, preparing for the energy delivery that might be needed during the upcoming delivery.

Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes, looked at his nominal "future mother-in-law," and nodded.

"It's alright, Arya is in good condition, there's no need to worry too much."

Those two simple sentences stirred a surge of emotion within Vera, who quickly replied:

"Thank you for your concern, sir! It is an honor for Arya and the Night Song family to have your favor."

She knew very well that although Arya was pregnant with Lynn's child, it did not change the gap in their power and status.

In this world, power is the only measure between wizards and mortals, between formal wizards and apprentice families.

Arya is more like a favored maid than an equal partner.

It was already a rare show of politeness for Lynn to say anything more at this point, and I couldn't possibly take advantage of that to push my luck...

Inside the delivery room, Arya's suppressed groans of pain alternated with the midwife's steady commands. Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Finally, a loud baby's cry shattered the silence!

"It's born! It's born!"

The midwife's joyful shouts came from inside the house, but then several suppressed gasps rang out, as if they had seen something astonishing.

Lynn and Vera exchanged a glance and then pushed open the door at the same time.

As for any "rules" or "taboos," they didn't care about them.

On the delivery bed, Arya's face was pale but she had a weak smile on her face, and her hair was soaked with sweat.

The midwives and maids stood around the bed, their faces still showing shock.

Among them, a newborn baby, wrapped in soft fabric, was waving its tiny fists and crying loudly.

The child's appearance caused even the well-traveled Lynn to slightly narrow her gaze.

His hair was not the usual black or gold, but a deep, dark blue that seemed to shimmer in the dim light.

Its pupils were even more unusual, not the dark eyes commonly seen in infants, but a swirling vortex of stars, constantly rotating and shimmering with countless tiny lights, pure and mysterious.

On the center of his forehead grew a small, exquisite horn, shimmering with a jade-like texture.

The exposed skin was covered with a few extremely fine, pale silver scales.

Overall, it does resemble a dragon descendant, but the aura emanating from its body is even stronger than that of a dragon cub.

"This..." Vera gasped, instinctively glancing at Lynn.

Vera is not a naive person; she has seen many hybrids of humans and other races over the years.

Especially in this wizarding world, there are many alien slaves.

Elves, orcs, winged people, dragonborn, and even succubi...

Various hybrid races are not uncommon and can often be seen at auctions, slave markets, and arenas.

But... Lynn and Arya are clearly human, so why would they give birth to this thing?

Could it be that Arya is with someone else...?

Isn't this Lynn's child?

Thinking of this, Vera carefully observed Lynn's changing expression, fearing that he might kill everyone present in a fit of anger.

This little girl is incredibly bold!

Lynn remained calm.

He didn't overthink it; seeing the baby's appearance, he already understood.

The thirty percent of bloodline from the star beast's heart that he fused with had not been overtly manifested in his appearance, but it had completely altered the very essence of his life.

Today, this bloodline, originating from powerful beings of higher dimensions, is being expressed in the next generation in a more direct and explicit way.

He stepped forward, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, and stretched out his right hand, his fingertips hovering over the baby's forehead.

The vast spiritual power and analytical ability were silently activated, like the most sophisticated scanner, instantly digitizing the newborn's life status.

[Target]: Newborn mixed-race life (unnamed for now)

[Life Forms]:

Human (60%) / Unknown Starry Sky Beast Bloodline (40% Dominant Expression)

[Physical Foundation]: Its strength is tens of thousands of times greater than that of human infants of the same age, and its bone density, muscle fiber activity, and cellular energy carrying capacity all reach "extraordinary" standards.

The scales on its body surface have extremely high physical resistance and energy buffering properties, and the unicorn horn is suspected to be an energy gathering and regular sensory organ (not activated).

[Soul Essence]: Abnormal strength, already showing "limit-breaking" characteristics, stable structure and strong growth potential.

[Core Talents]:

Soul Talent: Breakthrough (Superior and above, the specific upper limit is subject to growth observation).

Star Affinity: Breaking Limits (An innate affinity with star rules, possibly able to grow through starlight).

Spatial affinity: Breaking the limits (extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, possessing an instinctive spatial perception and weak interference potential).

Devouring Talent: Limit Break (Core talent, passively absorbs surrounding free energy, and has the ability to actively devour, digest, and transform specific substances and energy to accelerate its own growth. This is one of the core survival abilities of the Starry Sky Beast.)

[Growth Characteristics]:

1. Their growth cycle is expected to be far longer than that of pure-blooded humans, requiring ten times the time of ordinary people.

2. The growth process is a "step-by-step leap," requiring a massive amount of high-quality energy and special substances as "fuel."

3. The "Devour" talent is key to growth, but it may also lead to mixed energy or unknown mutations, requiring guidance and control.

[Current Status]: Healthy, full of life energy, active soul, and talents are in a latent, yet-to-be-activated state.

[Note]: Its life form has deviated from the conventional human realm, requiring the establishment of a completely new cultivation and observation system. Its potential is enormous, and the resource consumption is proportional to that.
