Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Lynn has mastered quite a few apprentice-level witchcrafts and has long since chosen the witchcrafts he needs to construct.

Furthermore, each sorcery model undergoes in-depth optimization through [analysis], striving to achieve the theoretically optimal state during construction.

[Screaming of Terror], [Bone Grip], [Arcane Hands], [Shadow Weaving], [Corpse Disguise], [Bone Repair], [Mental Lash], [Mimicry], [Earth Spike Assault], [Rock Skin]...

One by one, magical models rapidly took shape, constantly rotating around the energy-based spiritual core.

【Screaming Shriek】 can cause a powerful area-of-effect mental shock and fear effect, preventing enemies from getting close.

Both [Corpse Disguise] and [Mimicry] are methods of disguise, intended for when you inevitably have to go out in the future.

Because its attack methods are too limited, relying mainly on [Soul Impact] to hold its own, [Mental Lash] and [Earth Spike Assault] have been specially added this time to make up for its shortcomings.

The Rock Skin ability provides excellent defense, placing it at the pinnacle of apprentice-level sorcery and greatly enhancing Lynn's survivability.

Lynn originally wanted to learn a "summoning" skill to replenish Brother A's blood and food at any time, saving on "feed" costs.

Unfortunately, this skill cannot be summoned out of thin air. It requires obtaining the coordinates of the other world first, establishing a connection with the other world, and then offering sacrifices to attract some creatures.

Moreover, this kind of summoning magic that directly crosses planes must be at least a first-level or higher magic.

With Lynn's current level of strength, he can only learn witchcraft like [Skeleton Resurrection] and [Zombie Summoning], which directly use corpses to summon.

Gregor's summoning array, for example, depicts the coordinates of many planes. It can summon low-level creatures without any sacrifices; they can be forcibly captured directly.

...

Having dealt with the sorcery, Lynn turned his attention to the laboratory's materials shelf, gathering some materials to heavily enhance his undead minions.

After feeding Gu Erdan the remaining [Tears of Mourning] and using a [Ghostly Dust] to enhance the stability of its soul fire, it successfully advanced to level 3 (leader level).

Its curse range and intensity have been increased, and it has awakened a new ability, "Haunted by Vengeful Spirits"—which can summon weak vengeful spirits to interfere with a single target, continuously causing mental sting and slight slowing.

Use the [Shadow Bat Essence] on Wu Liuqi to further temper his bones, enhance his shadow affinity, and advance him to level 3.

Gain new ability [Shadow Leap] - allows for faster, continuous flashes between shadows over short distances, significantly improving assassination and escape capabilities.

The Great Hammer, on the other hand, was forged with thick Obsidian Marrow, which greatly enhanced the destructive power of its bone hammer and its own defensive capabilities, but reduced its speed once again.

Upon advancing to level 3, the awakened ability [Shockwave Strike] is generated – upon hitting the target, it creates an area-of-effect shockwave, causing blunt impact and temporary imbalance to surrounding enemies.

Lynn originally wanted to use a lightweight material called "Light Spirit Stone" to strengthen the hammer and increase its speed.

However, its compatibility with this element is too low. After fusion, its strength and defense will decrease significantly, which would be a loss. So, it is better to continue to enhance its advantages.

We'll think of other ways to make up for its speed disadvantage later.

The Death Knight is the most troublesome. Although it was previously enhanced by Titan Bone Powder, its base stats are still too poor.

I originally wanted to remelt it, but with Lynn's half-baked skills, it would be difficult to forge something better, so I simply used high-quality materials instead.

I found a copy of [Embers of the Decaying Knight's Soulfire] in the laboratory, and then spent 60 magic stones to buy a bottle of [Heavy Armor Bone Enhancement Agent] from the market for deep tempering, which allowed me to successfully advance to level 3.

After this enhancement, the Death Knight's skeleton became completely metallic, giving it incredible defense. It also awakened the [Death Grip] skill, which allows it to conjure death claws to attack enemies or pull them towards itself.

The entire strengthening process took a week and consumed a considerable amount of materials, but the results were remarkable.

A formidable squad, centered around four level 3 undead leaders, is taking shape, and its combat power has undergone a qualitative leap.

Just as Lynn was ambitiously trying to upgrade all the other undead minions to level 3 at once, someone objected.

That day, Lynn went to the materials shelf with practiced ease, preparing to do the same to Brother A. Gregor, who had been pretending to be engrossed in his research but was actually secretly observing, finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Stop! Stop right now!"

Gregor snatched the precious jar of highly active flesh and blood concentrate from Lynn's hand with a single "Hand of All Things," his beard trembling with heartache.

"Do you think my lab is a free resource storehouse?! Strengthening four items to level 3 isn't enough?! Do you know how many magic stones these 'scraps' are worth on the black market?! This jar of essence could buy your life several times over!"

Lynn pouted, "Look at how stingy you are."

Didn't we give you a lot of advice and solve a lot of problems for you? When have we ever asked you for money?

Gregor, clutching the jar, watched Lynn warily.

"The potential of this zombie lies in its [flesh mutation] and its ability to devour and grow. Using these solidified materials to pile it up might actually limit its mutation potential!"

"Let it eat on its own and grow slowly! Don't try to take my materials again! If you dare to touch them again, I'll throw you and your skeleton into the 'Waste Dumping Cliff'!"

Lynn touched his nose and sheepishly withdrew his hand. It seemed he had gone a bit too far this time, even making the usually generous Gregor unable to resist.

Gregor snorted, locked the material container in a secure cabinet, and muttered things like "spendthrift" and "he doesn't know the value of money until he's in charge."

Then he went back to worrying about his bone plate, but he kept glancing at Lynn out of the corner of his eye, afraid that he might be up to something again.

Lynn smiled, not minding at all.

Looking at the four level 3 undead with even stronger auras in the ring, and the near-perfect "mental vortex" model in his mental sea, he felt a sense of reassurance.

That's right, Lynn has successfully condensed the initial mental vortex model in a "perfect" state within this week!

This is a great first step!

After taking this step, one needs to continuously expand the spiritual vortex, making it complete, stable, and full, reaching the current limit that the soul can bear.

Given Lynn's exceptional soul talent, his mental vortex would likely need to reach a terrifying level before it reaches the limit of his soul's capacity.

Once this step is achieved, you can then push your mental strength to over 100 points and begin the process of breaking through to become a formal wizard.

Back in his cubicle, Lynn's consciousness sank into his mental sea, focusing on the latest optimization iteration of the "mental vortex" structure by the [Analysis].

Now, every time Lynn moves mental energy particles to expand his mental vortex, he analyzes and optimizes them to make them as perfect as possible.

If you do every step to the utmost perfection, your future practice will be smooth sailing.
