Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Lynn opened his eyes and rubbed his temples.

It failed again.

After thinking for a while, he changed his approach. Instead of forcing the Holy Light and the undead to merge, he allowed the Holy Light and starlight to merge into one from their very origin.

Starlight can already bless the undead. If holy light resistance can be "plated" onto starlight, the undead will gain holy light resistance while receiving the blessing of starlight.

The undead do not need to possess holy light attributes themselves; they only need starlight to protect them from the erosion of holy light.

The third attempt.

He extracted the "Guardian" branch from the Holy Light rules, stripped it of the Holy Light attributes, and retained only the concept of "protection".

Then, that concept was grafted onto the starlight loop, so that when the starlight blesses the dead, it automatically forms a weak protective layer on the surface of the dead's body.

The protective layer does not have the Holy Light attribute, but it can counteract some of the Holy Light's erosion.

The model ran in the sea of ​​consciousness for an hour without crashing.

When Lynn ran it for another hourglass, it remained stable and did not crash.

He opened his eyes, his face expressionless, but he felt a sense of relief.

Become!

He applied the improved "Heart of Star Domination" to the undead army, and through soul connection, the new starlight blessing covered every undead.

Megatron raised his head, glanced in the direction of the golden pillar of light, and then lowered his head again.

Its discomfort lessened, although it was still there, it wasn't as intense as before.

The Decepticon floated in mid-air, and the frequency of the Soul Crystals on its body flickered slower, indicating that its energy consumption had decreased.

The lava beneath the Balrog's feet stopped seeping out; it stood on the ground as if it were on its own turf.

The Frost Whale hovered low in the air, its chill emanating from its body and condensing into a thin layer of frost on the ground. This frost did not melt as quickly as before, but remained for a long time.

Lynn looked at the undead and nodded in satisfaction.

The effect wasn't strong, but it was enough to allow the undead to fight normally in this plane.

Over the next week, he analyzed the rules of Holy Light while continuing to optimize "Heart of Star Reign".

He also added a "purification" branch, allowing the starlight to automatically purify the holy light energy attached to the dead when blessing them.

The wounds that had been eroded by the holy light healed much faster.

The soul fires that had been suppressed by the holy light burned even more fiercely.

On the eighth day, Harding came to see him; the basic fortifications of the defense zone were complete.

The wall was black, welded from alloy steel plates, and its surface was engraved with defensive runes.

There is a watchtower every 500 meters, with a magic cannon mounted on top, pointing into the depths of the wasteland.

The supply warehouse and rest area were built in the center of the defense zone, constructed with thick concrete and covered with steel plates.

The wizards are setting up the final defensive array. Once the array is activated, the defense line will be ready for use.

"Sir, the defense zone is now complete. Thank you for your cooperation." Harding handed Lynn a folder containing the defense zone's completion report.

Lynn took the folder, flipped through it, and handed it back to him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Harding led his team away.

The convoy disappeared at the edge of the wasteland, and the defense zone returned to silence, leaving only the newly built walls and watchtowers, which looked particularly out of place under the dark red sky.

Lynn stood on the wall, looking at the golden pillar of light in the distance, waiting for the next command.

The communication stone slab shook on the third day.

Marcus's command sent a message: Advance into the Eastern District and clear out the Holy Light faction enemies in the Third Defense Zone.

A map was attached, showing the advance route and attack targets.

Lynn put away the stone slab and jumped down from the wall.

Megatron, Decepticons, Balrog, Frostwhale, Thing, Tree, Earth Dragon Rider, Demon Eye, Bone Dragon, All Things, Divine Abomination...

The undead army lined up in front of the defense zone.

Lynn rode the bone dragon and pointed south.

"Proceed."

The undead army began to move.

Megatron was at the very front, followed by the skeletal earth dragon race.

The Decepticons, accompanied by the ghosts, floated on the left.

The Balrog and Frostwhale are on the right. The Stone Golem, the Great Tree, and the Earth Dragon are in the middle.

The Demon Eye hovered high in the sky, with the Bone Dragon carrying Lynn at the very back.

Myriad Manifestations and Divine Evil followed beside the Bone Dragon.

The advance was not fast, but very steady.

Lynn did not act rashly.

This is the outer edge of the Holy Light Plane, not the small worlds he conquered before.

The holy light creatures in those smaller worlds are scattered and disorganized, while the holy light creatures here are organized, have formations, and are commanded.

He did not want to be surrounded, ambushed, or cut off during the advance.

He sent the Demon Eye and the Bone Dragon to scout from high above and transmit back the situation dozens of miles ahead.

The swarm of insects spread across the ground, searching every rock, every crack, and every corner where enemies might be hiding.

The undead army would stop every hundred miles to wait for the results of their reconnaissance before deciding on their next move.

On the third day, the Demon Eye discovered a group of beings of holy light.

They weren't the scattered, unorganized soldiers they used to be; they were an organized patrol team.

There were more than a dozen Holy Light Lions, the one in the lead being particularly large, with a shoulder height of nearly five meters and a golden mane that looked like a burning flame.

They lined up in a row and patrolled the wasteland.

It seems we're getting close to the territory of the Holy Light Legion.

Lynn did not allow the undead army to charge head-on.

He had the Demon Eye use its mental beam to kill the leading Holy Lion.

The ray struck silently, and the leading Holy Lion of Light froze, collapsing to the ground.

The remaining Holy Light Lions were stunned, not knowing what had happened.

Megatron charged out from the side, spewing a stream of destructive molten gas that engulfed the three Holy Lions in dark golden flames.

The Decepticons pounced from the left, and the Thousand Soul Chains entangled both of them.

The fire demon charged out from the right, lava gushing from beneath its feet, engulfing both of them. The battle was over in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Lynn sent the Divine Evil to absorb the essence and blood of those Holy Light Lions.

The divine being walked to the corpse, reached out and pressed it down. The golden patterns lit up, the blood was absorbed, and the corpse turned into a dried-up corpse.

Lynn put the dried-up corpse into the undead space and continued on his way.

On the fifth day, the swarm discovered a nest of Radiant creatures.

It was not formed naturally; it was man-made.

The underground cave has its entrance hidden by rocks. Inside, it is spacious, with passageways, rooms, and warehouses.

The nest is inhabited by hundreds of Holy Light Giant Scorpions, and several Holy Light Colossi patrol the area.

Lynn did not go in himself.

He made the tree extend its roots into the cave and seep into the ground.

Roots spread through the darkness, finding the giant scorpions of holy light hidden deep within the cave, entangling them, and injecting them with putrid toxins.

The giant scorpions struggled in the cave, their tails thrashing wildly, the golden light on their stingers flashing, but the roots were too deep and the entanglements too tight; they could not break free.

One after another, the Holy Light Giant Scorpions stopped struggling, their bodies stiffened, and their shells turned from gold to grayish-black.

The tree pulled its roots back, and the dead Holy Light Giant Scorpions were brought out of the ground and thrown onto the wasteland, piling up into a small mountain.

The divine beasts went up and absorbed the essence and blood of each of them.

The Colossi of Light are even more difficult to deal with; their defenses are too strong, and the roots of the great trees cannot pierce their shells.

Lynn personally took action, using the Space Blade to shred them one by one.

On the seventh day, the undead army advanced to the center of the third defense zone.

There are more holy creatures here, and the patrols are larger.

Lynn remained steady and cautious, avoiding haste and rashness.

If you encounter a small group of enemies, eliminate them directly. If you encounter a large group of enemies, go around them, or wait for them to disperse before attacking.

When you encounter a nest, use a large tree to seep into the ground, or use a Balrog to pour lava into the cave entrance.

Every day, holy creatures are killed, and every day, the life essence is absorbed by the divine abominations.

The aura of the divine abomination was slowly increasing, approaching the peak of the Calamity level from the high-level Calamity level.

The golden patterns on its body grew brighter and brighter, and the holy light energy within its body became more and more concentrated, but the power of the undead did not weaken. The two powers coexisted within its body like two parallel lines, neither interfering with the other.

Lynn looked at the divine beast with satisfaction.

At this rate, in another month, the Divine Abomination will be able to break through the limit of the Cataclysmic level and reach the Nightmare level!

At that time, he will have another trump card in his hand.

He rode on the back of the bone dragon, looking at the wasteland ahead.

Under a dark red sky, the undead army slowly advanced, like a black tide.

In the distance, the golden pillar of light still stands, and at its peak, the six-winged angel is still there.

Lynn did not look at Him.

He lowered his head, looking at the road beneath his feet.
