Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Meanwhile, the bulk of the spoils—the eight demons—were gradually suppressed by the vast net of rules and Aldrick's silver-white array patterns.

Now they are separated, each occupying its own independent area, without interfering with each other.

The array patterns conformed to the contours of their bodies, preventing them from mobilizing the remaining abyssal power within them, and greatly reducing their physical strength.

They could only remain within the array patterns, unable to move or break free, as if embedded in a wall.

Lynn's gaze lingered on each of them for a moment.

Three mid-tier Saint Mark Flame Demons, one mid-tier and two early-tier Deception Demons, two early-tier Saint Mark Fear Demons, plus the three Wraiths and Vengeful Spirits...

A total of eleven Saint Mark-level combatants!

If we add the souls of Marfa and the two members of the Chaos Egg, that makes a total of fourteen!

This wave of profits is absolutely incredible!

Lynn's gaze swept over the eleven suppressed figures as he pondered how to deal with them.

The three ghosts and vengeful spirits had their spirituality erased by Marfa, leaving only empty shells.

Like a puppet, it cannot act independently or receive new instructions; it can only execute the last remaining instruction.

These three ghosts were created by Marfa himself.

In order to maximize their power, Marfa had gone to great lengths to torture them.

Each one was filled with resentment towards her.

In order to make it easier to control them, satisfy his perverse desire for control, and out of fear that these three holy-level ghosts would betray him, he erased their spirituality.

This is also why they "crashed" after entering the world of Stigmata; now they can be directly controlled by imprinting their own mark on them.

The way he dealt with those eight demons was similar to how he dealt with the Voidbats before.

First, throw it into that "meteor" in the sky above the world to turn it into an undead, then use the Star Desolate Heart to leave its mark.

These demons are more active than the Voidbats, and their undead transformation process may take longer.

He planned to temporarily store the souls of the two Chaos Egg members and Marfa himself in the Myriad Souls Banner, and then process them later.

Use the banner's containment runes and "breeding" ability to strengthen their souls, gradually increasing the banner's carrying capacity.

This is also what makes the Myriad Soul Banner special; its level slowly increases depending on the number and strength of the souls it contains.

It can be considered a magical artifact with potential for growth.

[Target: The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls]

[Rank]: Initial Stage of Sacred Mark (Initial Stage of Fourth Ring)

【Core Components】: The frame is a long pole forged from Styx iron, and the carrier is a banner woven from soul dust crystals and shadow spider silk. The interior is engraved with a complex array of containment runes, which can accommodate and restrain a large number of souls.

【Core Functions】:

1. Containment: When the banner is unfolded, it can automatically attract wandering spirits and vengeful spirits within a radius of several hundred meters and bring them into the banner's containment space. The containment limit is related to the current rank of the artifact; a low-ranking Holy Mark can contain approximately ten million standard souls.

2. Nourishment: The runes contained within the banner continuously provide the soul with basic energy, preventing it from dissipating due to separation from the external environment. The soul will not weaken within the banner, but it will not automatically become stronger either.

3. **Gu Breeding:** The space within the banner is divided into several areas where souls can move freely. The holder can activate the Gu breeding runes, causing all souls to repeatedly devour each other within the banner. Each devouring allows the victorious soul to absorb the remaining energy of the other, gradually growing stronger. After the Gu breeding ends, one or more main souls, condensed from multiple devouring processes, will appear within the banner.

[Main Abilities]:

1. Night Parade of One Hundred Demons: Releases the one hundred most powerful spirits within the banner, forming a continuously moving torrent of spirits that relentlessly devours the souls of all living beings within its coverage area. Once the spirits come into contact with a target, they will continuously attach to and tear at its soul surface, making it impossible to block with physical defenses.

2. Banner Devouring: Unfold the banner to its maximum area to form a soul attraction field covering a radius of ten kilometers, exerting a continuous traction force on all spiritual entities within the range.

3. Main Soul Development: When the density of souls within the banner and the number of times it has absorbed souls reach a certain threshold, the Myriad Soul Banner will automatically condense a main soul. The strength of the main soul depends on the quantity and quality of the souls participating in the Gu cultivation.

4. Soul Barrier Protection: Releases a portion of the soul from the banner, forming a continuously surrounding soul shield centered on the banner surface, covering the caster's entire body. The shield gradually consumes soul energy as it withstands continuous attacks, and automatically dissipates once the soul energy is exhausted.

5. Soul Devouring Body: Fully unfolds the banner, releasing all the souls within, forming a soul domain covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Enemy units entering the domain will be continuously subjected to soul erosion and mental interference. The souls within the domain enter a "rage" state, indiscriminately attacking all enemies.

[Growth Characteristics]:

1. The rank of the Myriad Soul Banner increases slowly with the number and strength of the souls it contains. The higher the quality of the contained souls, the faster the rank increases. Theoretically, it can grow to a high-ranking Sacred Mark or even higher.

2. The main soul within the banner can evolve synchronously during the growth of the Myriad Souls Banner, without needing to be re-condensed.

...

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is undeniably powerful, and its utilization of souls is considered to be at its peak.

The only problem is that it's still empty inside, with only a few souls.

Only by reaching the underworld and absorbing a large number of souls can its true power be activated, making it a true "Banner of Ten Thousand Souls"!

Lynn held the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls in his hand, gripping the long pole, and the banner unfurled.

He walked to the witch formation where the two members of the Chaos Egg were trapped and inserted the banner into the edge of the ground.

The containment runes lit up, and dark gray light flowed along the patterns on the banner, forming a continuously rotating vortex.

The two souls were sucked in without any struggle.

He then approached the three ghosts. When the banner touched them, they were still baring their teeth and claws. Eventually, they were sucked into the depths of the banner and disappeared into the containment space.

Lynn did not directly control them, as his mental power was limited after all, and there were still thirty-two monarchs in the underworld waiting for him.

Using the Myriad Souls Banner to control them can save a lot of mental energy, so that you won't have enough mental energy to collect them when you get to the underworld, and you can only "sigh in vain".

After the containment runes stabilized, Lynn rolled up the banner and returned it to the dimensional space.

He walked towards the eight demons suppressed by the array patterns and inscribed restrictions on each demon in sequence.

The array patterns followed the contours of their bodies, covering the main energy pathways, and then automatically tightened and embedded themselves into their bodies.

After dealing with them, he raised his right hand, and a grayish-white light enveloped them, sending the eight demons into the meteorite belonging to the "Starry Sky Insect Race" above the Holy Mark World.

That place is also the "manufacturing room" for "undead".

The power of the undead began to slowly cover their bodies, seeping into their bodies from the surface of their skin, and reshaping their structures along with the forbidden patterns.

The bodies of Marfa and the two other members were also sent to the meteorite, placed in the same area as the demons.

If these corpses are properly prepared, they can also be used to create "Saint Mark Rank" undead.
