This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

"Abyss, you said you'd make it up to us, right?" Rebecca suddenly winked at Abyss, looking a little embarrassed. "I have a small request, it might be a bit troublesome, could you help me with it?"

Chapter 92 Watch Me, Anywhere Door

“Of course you can.” Abyss nodded, without first asking Rebecca what exactly she was referring to.

This inventor probably has some brilliant idea that requires the Abyss's assistance again. It seems that after following the Abyss, Rebecca is more daring in turning her ideas into reality.

"Actually, I just wanted to discuss the matter of magical pets." Rebecca walked up to Abyss with a flattering look and then took his arm. "Look, Flora and Leona both have magical pets that you helped them create, so I want one too, is that okay? However, my magical pet... is a bit... um, troublesome. Don't be angry when you hear my request later."

“What do I have to be angry with you for?” Abyss reached out and stroked Rebecca’s head. “Just tell me what you want, and I’ll do it.”

Abyss thought to himself, "If I can make a magical creature like Leona who adds whatever comes to mind, what magical creature can be called 'troublesome'?"

“Then I’ll tell you my requirements.” Rebecca took out a piece of paper from her small bag and started writing on it with a pencil, saying as she wrote, “The kind of magical pet I want is like this… First, it has to be big enough that its mouth can swallow me whole, and ideally, I shouldn’t have to bend over.”

“That’s easy,” Abyss said nonchalantly. “Larger magical creatures just require more magic power, and I have plenty of that.”

"Then, the space inside this magical pet's belly needs to be large enough, ideally as big as a potion factory, and it would be even better if it could be divided into several layers..."

"Hmm? I've never created a magical creature like the one you're asking for."

"And it would be great if time flowed slower here than outside. For example, if I stayed inside all day, only a few hours would pass outside... Anyway, I'm an undead, so my lifespan is infinite. No matter how much time I waste inside, it won't make me die any earlier." Rebecca's expression gradually became fawning. "This... hehe... is this request a little too much?"

Flora and Leona, standing nearby, covered their mouths and chuckled. They might really get to see Abyss get its comeuppance again.

"Then, I hope my magical pet can store items inside its belly for a long time, so I can move my entire alchemy laboratory inside. When I need to use it, I can summon the magical pet to crawl inside, and when I don't need it, it can run out on its own, leaving the contents inside." Rebecca wrote down what she wanted on the paper and also drew an aerial view of her ideal laboratory. "If... I mean if, it would be great if there was plenty of light and fresh air inside."

Abyss looked at Rebecca in surprise: "My God, I thought Leona's request was already outlandish enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more imaginative than her."

"Can't I?" Rebecca pouted and pressed her body against Abyss, whose arm immediately felt a cool, soft touch.

“This… although it’s a completely new challenge, I think I can give it a try. Your idea was probably inspired by my magical catfish, right? I stumbled upon that creature, but I still remember some of the steps I took.” Abyss wasn’t backing down. “If it’s for you, I think I can take on this new challenge.”

"I'm so excited!" Rebecca exclaimed excitedly after hearing Abyss's words. "Could you say that last sentence again?"

"I stumbled upon that by chance, but I still remember some of the steps I took."

"Not that sentence! Go to the sentence after that!"

"I'm so tempted!"

"Ouch!" Rebecca bit Abyss's shoulder in anger.

……

Creating a magical pet requires a mage to have sufficient magical power to temporarily solidify it into a physical form, giving it some additional physical properties. It also requires the mage to have a high degree of control over magical power, allowing them to fine-tune the pet's appearance at will.

It's not that unqualified mages haven't tried to create magical pets for themselves, but insufficient magic power resulted in pets that weren't large enough, and inadequate control over magic power led to pets that looked rather bizarre. Therefore, without exception, these mages created strangely shaped little creatures that were not only disgusting but also useless. A magical pet created by a mage is bound to their soul; at that point, it's too late to back out.

After accepting Rebecca's request, Abyss sat in the room fiddling with a ball of magic, seemingly trying to achieve the function Rebecca needed.

Leona sat quietly to the side, watching. She wasn't particularly looking forward to Rebecca's "mobile alchemy laboratory" being created, since she knew nothing about alchemy anyway. She just really enjoyed the Abyss, which was like sculpting clay figures.

Flora was busy serving tea and water to everyone, and she also carefully used divine magic to isolate the sounds inside the inn, while protecting the inn's buildings to prevent any unpredictable consequences from the Abyss's experiment, such as a massive explosion.

Rebecca sat intimately beside the Abyss, gradually adding details to her idea as the Abyss asked her questions.

Abyss had only a superficial understanding of spatial magic. He himself didn't know how the space inside the catfish's belly came about, and because time was frozen there, no one knew what it looked like inside. He didn't know where the things he put inside the catfish went either; in short, the space inside the catfish's belly was enormous, and there had never been a situation where something couldn't fit inside.

But perseverance pays off. With Rebecca's guidance, who had a deep understanding of spatial magic, and after several failed attempts, the Abyss actually succeeded in creating a large space with air that could circulate with the outside world.

Next, Flora, as the mentor, taught the Abyss some theories about divine magic. Having once used divine magic to freeze time, she was certainly qualified to speak on the subject.

The Abyss's current magic is heavily inspired by divine magic, and it is adept at combining the principles of divine magic with its own. As dawn broke, the Abyss finally completed its task of differentiating the flow of time inside and outside. Leona went inside and counted one hundred numbers at a rate of once per second, while the Abyss outside had only counted a dozen or so.

As for the light, that was relatively easy. Abyss had solidified several permanent candlelight spells inside, serving as a constant light source. Even after he put away his magical creatures, the candlelight spells didn't disappear, indicating that the space inside could indeed preserve objects.

After completing these tasks, Abyss, under the guidance of Flora, who was skilled in art, finished designing the appearance of her magical pet. Unlike the animal-type magical pets of ordinary mages, Rebecca's magical pet was a door; by simply opening the door from the front, one could directly enter this alchemy laboratory.

By the time the magical pet was fully completed, the sun was already high in the sky, and the residents of Xiaoduo Town had long since gotten up and begun another busy and fulfilling day.

"It's done! Rebecca, this will be your magical pet from now on. Give it a name!" Abyss patted the door frame.

"Let's call it the Anywhere Door." Rebecca looked at her unique magical pet with satisfaction. "A magical pet that can open a door from anywhere and enter!"

“Speaking of which… Abyss.” Leona stroked her chin, examining the summoned creature for a long time. “If you’ve created something like this, then there’s no need for you to buy such a large plot of land for your dream ‘Great Graveyard’?”

Abyss was stunned by Leona's words for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Leona's shoulders like a madman and kissed her cheek hard in her astonished gaze.

Chapter 93 Rebecca's Complete Form

Leona was still in shock, not understanding what the Abyss had done to her, and sat there staring blankly at the Abyss for a long time.

"Leona, you're such a lucky star!" Abyss clapped his hands and laughed. "I've been planning how to build my grand cemetery after I buy land in the elven kingdoms, but I've been having so many worries about privacy, security, transportation, and the environment. What you said has given me a much better idea. I don't have to worry about all those troublesome things anymore!"

"Hey! What are you doing!" Leona only then remembered that Abyss had given her a hard kiss on the cheek, and she could still feel the tingling sensation on her face from when Abyss's lips touched her!

Rebecca quietly asked Flora, who was sitting next to her, "Why is Abyss so happy? Does he really want a place to stay?"

Flora smiled and replied softly, "Before he met us, he was always homeless and wandered the world. Now that he has a relatively safe place to live, he's probably a little too surprised."

"Leona, we have a home now! Aren't you happy!" Abyss grabbed Leona's shoulders again, still excited.

"Help! ABC's a pervert!" Leona struggled frantically, but not with much strength, otherwise a slight shrug of her shoulder would have shattered Abyss's bones. "Who wants to marry you! At least... at least beg... beg..."

"Oh, sorry, don't you like this?" Abyss suddenly realized that he had gotten a little too excited and immediately let go. "I got a little carried away, I'm sorry."

Leona blushed, staring wide-eyed at Abyss, the rest of her sentence stuck in her throat.

"As expected of him." Rebecca chuckled again.

Flora smiled wryly as she waited for the plot to unfold.

Bang!

Abyss was thrown out of the room by the enraged Leona.

……

Rebecca thus acquired her own magical pet. After asking Abyss for the incantation to summon her pet, Rebecca excitedly put all the devices and materials that had been stored inside the magical catfish's belly.

The space inside the "Anywhere Door" is hemispherical, with a huge circular floor covering an area of ​​six or seven thousand square meters—far exceeding Rebecca's initial vision for a potion factory. According to the Abyss, expanding this space is not difficult; it only requires expending magic to create more space, and Rebecca can continue to expand it by consuming Abyss's magic whenever needed.

The interior space was also part of the magical pet, so its appearance was determined by the creator. Rebecca chose white ceramic floor tiles, while the hemispherical dome was light blue. Leona and Flora followed her, bustling around inside, arranging various alchemical devices neatly according to Rebecca's habits, and classifying and packing the herbs, placing them on the other side, making this portable alchemy laboratory appear very organized. Because the space was so large that it was almost unusable, Rebecca also specially designated an area to store their clothes, which would temporarily serve as their dressing room until the Great Graveyard of the Abyss was completed.

Abyss wanted to go in and help, but every time he stepped into the lab, Leona would glare at him fiercely, so he could only sit outside feeling wronged, wondering why Leona disliked him.

Working tirelessly until noon, Rebecca's alchemy laboratory was officially completed. Now, she was truly a force to be reckoned with. As an academic genius specializing in alchemy and mechanics, Rebecca was unlike Leona or Flora. Leona excelled in combat, able to utilize her strengths at any time, while Flora was skilled in divine magic, able to use her abilities as long as she could speak. Rebecca, however, was different. Rebecca's strength lay in her intellect; without putting her ideas into practice, she couldn't fully utilize her abilities. But now, things were different. Rebecca could not only enter the laboratory to formulate concoctions whenever she had an idea, but also take advantage of the time flow within to experiment freely, without having to race against time. She had essentially reached the complete form of an alchemist.

As long as either Abyss or Rebecca is outside, they can summon or dispel the door at will, which is very convenient. However, if the door is dispelled, the exit inside will also disappear, and those still inside will be temporarily unable to get out.

Having finished their tasks, everyone temporarily left the guesthouse. It was almost lunchtime, and the group decided to visit Gylvia. They couldn't let Gylvia be kept in the dark about what they had done at the palace the previous night.

Upon arriving at the command post, the guards, already recognizing Abis and his group, did not question them further. They reported directly to Gylvia and quickly received permission to enter the command post.

As expected, Gylvia was eating. She was sitting at the small table in her room, holding a map that had been rewritten many times in one hand and a piece of bread in the other. When she saw Abyss and the others, she smiled and said, "Good afternoon. Have you eaten yet? If you're hungry, you can eat with me, as long as you don't mind the meager food here."

Gylvia's diet was nothing like that of a noble princess. On the table was a piece of ordinary hard bread, a plate of diced vegetables and fruits, a small dish of cheese slices, and a glass of water, probably prepared to prevent her from choking on the dry bread.

"Why are you eating so little! This food is so bland, how can you possibly be full?" Leona felt a pang of heartache when she saw Gylvia's food.

“This is how I usually eat. The Restoration Army isn’t well-off right now, so as a princess, I have to set a good example and save every penny I can.” Jivia smiled. “Don’t worry, if there’s a war, I’ll make sure I eat my fill so I can go to the battlefield and fight.”

"How is the situation now?" Flora asked with concern.

"We're still at a stalemate, and the situation remains far from optimistic. Although we acquired a batch of potions, according to my intelligence personnel, the enemy has suddenly gained many high-level aura warriors and mages. They haven't caused us significant losses yet, but we still can't be too reckless. A counterattack isn't an opportunity yet," said Jivia. "I suspect that those suddenly appearing experts might be those monsters Kevin created called Nightmare Spirits, which are quite troublesome."

“If you’re talking about Nightmare Spirits, we can study them now,” Abyss said to Gylvia. “Because we went to the palace yesterday and brought back the trees Kevin used to create Nightmare Spirits.”

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Significance of a Leader

As expected, Gylvia's eyes widened upon hearing Abyss's words: "What? You went to the palace last night? How did you get there? Was there a problem? That's the territory of the Lord of Nightmares!"

“We flew there; I have some tricks up my sleeve.” Abyss waved his hands, making a flapping-wing motion. “Don’t worry, we came and went very stealthily. The Lord of Nightmares did cause us some trouble, but we quickly resolved it. We’re not stupid; invading the territory of an extraterrestrial evil god requires thorough preparation.”

"Have you made any discoveries?"

Gylvia put down her map and bread, showing great interest in the Abyss's investigation. She wasn't worried about any negative consequences from the Abyss's expedition; she and Kevin were sworn enemies, and she would naturally welcome the Abyss's attempt to cause trouble for Kevin in his territory. Kevin was nominally her brother, but in reality, before his domineering intrusion into the palace, Gylvia had barely even seen Kevin's face, and her memories of him were limited to her very early childhood. There was practically no sibling affection between them.

“Sorry I didn’t tell you before I went yesterday. Actually, it was a last-minute decision. Rebecca discovered some potions that could resist the Nightmare Lord’s hypnotic abilities, so I thought I should hurry to the palace.” Abyss found a chair in the room, sat down, and said to Gylvia, “We discovered that the enemy’s Nightmare Spirits are related to some apple trees in the palace. After Kevin invaded the palace, he had his men prune these fruit trees. Do you remember?”

"You pruned the fruit trees?" Jivia thought for a moment. "It seems that's true, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

“For extraterrestrial evil gods to connect with this world, they must use something as a medium, rather than descending upon it themselves—that can only be done after they have absorbed enough power,” Abyss explained. “I suspect that the medium through which the Lord of Nightmares influences this world is a set of gardening tools. He influenced Kevin and his henchman Abos through these tools, then controlled them, gradually bringing despair to your country. In this way, he can harvest more and more nightmares—that is his food, and the more he consumes, the stronger he becomes.”

"You mean, it was the Lord of Nightmares who changed Kevin?" Gylvia frowned, making a guess.

“It may be so, or it may not be so,” Abyss said in a deep voice. “What the extraterrestrial evil gods do is actually to bring out the darkness in people’s hearts. Perhaps your brother’s heart was not very clean to begin with, and the Lord of Nightmares just gave him a part of the power so that he could act as his own agent. Just like the Church does to the Nine Gods.”

Gylvia bit her lower lip and began to think.

“I had a brief conversation with the Lord of Nightmares. He said he has some plans for you, but I suspect that your staying in your territory might be hindering the Lord of Nightmares’ power, preventing him from directly attacking you,” Abyss said. “Do you have any plans to go out recently? If so, be careful.”

“So… I was just about to go and inspect the guerrillas. The potions just arrived, and I’ve already sent some to them. That will greatly help their fighting strength in the guerrillas,” Gylvia replied after a moment’s thought. “I plan to go see them in a couple of days after I’ve finished up some work here. These young men are different from us who are training and conserving our energy in the rear. They fight almost every day, harassing Kevin’s army and plundering their supplies.”

"You're not the only one who knows about this plan, are you? When did you decide to go and inspect it?"

"This plan was in place before I set off for the Eastern Empire. At that time, I made a complete plan for this purchase, and Santos and several of my confidants participated in the planning. If I successfully buy the potion, it will proceed according to this plan... Ah."

After saying only a couple of words, Gylvia realized what was going on. If this had been planned before they set off, then the Lord of Nightmares would have had far too many opportunities to spy on Gylvia's plans during their journey between here and the Eastern Empire.

If Abyss's guess is correct, then the Lord of Nightmares will definitely seize this opportunity of unhindered power after Gylvia leaves her territory to find out Gylvia's future itinerary and formulate a corresponding plan.

“You thought of that too, didn’t you?” Abyss looked at Gylvia seriously. “I suggest you cancel all your recent travel plans and stay in your territory. I will keep you safe and help you uncover the Nightmare Lord’s conspiracy.”

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Gylvia refused Abis's suggestion, shaking her head decisively: "From yesterday to today, I've seen not only battle reports, but also intelligence from various sources brought back by my agents. The morale of the guerrillas at the front is already somewhat low. The enemy forces are very strong, and they frequently send out several exceptionally skilled fighters. Our guerrillas often suffer losses when caught off guard. If I can't personally meet with them now, I'm afraid they won't be able to continue..."

"Do they really need your encouragement that much?" Leona asked, somewhat puzzled. "Couldn't you have sent one of your generals? They're all important figures, and I remember soldiers feeling much better when they receive a word of encouragement from a high-ranking official."
