Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　This was not because he had developed a new flying magic, but because several vengeful spirits materialized beneath his feet, supporting his body.

　If it were daytime, the vengeful spirit's form might be noticed by passersby on the ground.

　But under the cover of night, no one could see the vengeful spirits that had only briefly materialized.

Chapter 60, Level 25, and Two Years

　Just as countries around the world were vigorously supporting research related to Honkai energy, Moros also completed a level promotion.

　【Moros】

　【Level: 25】

　[Race: Human]

　[Template: Plain White]

　[Class: Necromancer]

　[Racial Talent: Learning (Experience Gain Efficiency +5%)]

　[Hero Specialty: Necropolis Lord (Attack and Defense +1 every 5 levels when commanding Necropolis units)]

　Attack: 15 + 5

　[Defense: 57 + 5]

　[Curse Power: 34 + 8]

　[Knowledge: 21]

　[Skills: Enlightenment (Expert), Dark Magic (Expert), Summoning Magic (Expert), Destruction Magic (Expert), Sorcery (Expert), Light Magic (Beginner)]

　[Skill Mastered: Necromancy (Expert)]

　Unlike the previous mode where experience was gained through killing, this mode allows players to directly level up their heroes with the help of the hero panel.

　This time, Moros's promotion stemmed from his learning of the knowledge within the Magic Guild and

　Meditation day after day.

　This transformation is not only reflected in his slightly increased [Knowledge] attribute, but also clearly revealed by the disappearance of the expert-level [Necromantic] skill from his skill bar.

　The moment Moros fully mastered the expert-level Necromancy, the Necromancy (expert) section in the hero panel disappeared.

　This does not mean that he has lost this crucial skill as a necromancer; on the contrary, it is a sign that Moros has reached a higher level on the path of necromancerism.

　The disappearance of the [Necromancy (Expert)] skill did not affect Moros's ability to skillfully cast this magic that could transform corpses into undead units.

　Instead, he can now freely decide the type of undead unit to be transformed, instead of mechanically transforming skeletons from the hero panel as he used to.

　The hero panel is both an aid and a constraint.

　Moros knew that only by transcending the limitations of the hero panel could he hope to break through the Destiny Legendary tier (level 40) and advance to a higher level.

　Getting back to the main point, with Moros having fully mastered the expert-level [Necromancer], one skill slot on his hero panel became available.

　After careful consideration, he finally chose LightMagic as his new skill from the three skill options offered by the upgrade.

　In the process of learning Necromancy, Moros realized that the skills on the hero panel played a significant role in assisting the learning of the corresponding knowledge.

　It was with the help of the knowledge guidance provided by the [Necromancer (Expert)] skill in the hero panel that he was able to successfully master expert-level [Necromancer] in just two years.

　Yes, by the time Moros completed his advancement and officially became a level 25 necromancer, two full years had passed on Earth.

　Although he had been in the demiplane for the past two years, Moros was not entirely unaware of what was happening on Earth through occasional magical communications between Alicia and Eden.

　Although Alicia and Eden are currently limited in their level, their communication with Morros mainly involves conveying major events that are made public by various countries around the world.

　As for major events like the First Great Collapse, they, being beings who only learn about the world through the media, naturally wouldn't be aware of them.

　But for Morros, this information was enough.

　With the necromancer's current strength, as long as he doesn't act rashly, he won't be in danger.

　During this period, excluding the existence of nuclear weapons, the only high-end combat forces on the side of human civilization that could pose a threat to him were Alicia, Qianjie, and Sakura.

　Given the relationship between Moros and Alicia, as long as he doesn't intend to destroy human civilization, Alicia won't stand against him.

　As for Qianjie, he's still playing house in that little village that worships an evil god, and has no intention of leaving the village or contacting the world.

　Even if he appeared earlier, given his berserker-like fighting style, he wouldn't pose a significant threat to Moros.

　In terms of direct combat, the power of the Thousand Calamities is undeniable, but what can the melee team do against a spellcaster who has mastered teleportation magic?

　Sakura, the assassin codenamed "Forget-Me-Not," is the greatest threat to Moros among the three high-level combatants.

　However, Moros was not worried about her; he had full confidence in his magical shield.

　Moros believed that with the strength of his magic shield, Sakura, who had not yet undergone the fusion warrior surgery, would be powerless to break through it.

　After years of improvement and enhancement, Moros's magic shield is no longer the fragile shield that could be destroyed by a few bursts of pistol bullets.

　With a magic power attribute of 42 points, his current magic shield is comparable in strength to the Protoss's [Unyielding Shield].

　Clearly, Sakura, who hasn't yet undergone the fusion warrior surgery, is no match for this level of magic shield.

　As for how Alicia and Eden maintained communication with Moros across dimensions, it was thanks to the [Wraith Jar] that he gave them before the first Great Collapse.

　This magical creation, which combines alchemy and necromancy, not only has the ability to communicate magically across the demiplane's crystal walls, but also supports ultra-long-distance communication across galaxies.

　However, within the solar system, there is no opportunity to test interstellar communication of this level.

　The reason is simple: the Cocoon of the End has sealed off the solar system. Without the power to transcend the Cocoon, there is no way to escape the prison of the solar system.

　Having already taken solid steps on the path of magic and achieved remarkable results, Moros naturally prepared to continue his efforts, immersing himself in the magic guild to learn more profound magical knowledge and strive to transform his other skills into magic as well.

　But a magical communication from Alicia changed Moros's mind.

　"Moros, don't you think they've gone too far!"

　On the other end of the communication, Alicia's voice was filled with indignation and confusion.

　"Eden's voice is so unique and beautiful, why should they force her to sing pop songs according to market preferences?"

　Listening to the pink fairy's account, Moros understood what had happened.

　Eden and the entertainment company she was signed to had a disagreement about her musical path.

　The company hopes she will switch to pop songs to cater to market demands and achieve greater commercial value.

　However, Eden himself has a deep love for classical music and hopes to continue to delve deeper into this path.

　Having lived two lives, Moros is well aware of the cruel truth of the entertainment industry.

　In this industry rife with commercial interests and market competition, individual artistic pursuits and talents are often considered secondary. What entertainment companies value is simply the commercial value that artists can bring to the company.

　However, as Alicia and Eden's close friend, Morros's stance is clearly quite different from that of the entertainment company.

　"Ellie..."

　Moros spoke softly, his voice gentle yet firm.

　"Don't worry, leave this to me. Trust me, Eden will soon be free from this problem."

Chapter 61: Simple, Brutal, but Very Effective

　Stepping onto the staircase formed by vengeful spirits, Moros arrived at the top floor of the XX Entertainment Company headquarters building without any trouble.

　Without wasting any time, he immediately ordered the vengeful spirits to pass through the floors and search downwards, floor by floor, for the whereabouts of the general manager of the entertainment company that had signed a contract with Eden.

　Not long after, a vengeful spirit reported to him that it had found its target.

　That's easy to understand.

　Bosses with a bit of wealth prefer to put their offices on the top floor, rather than having people constantly looking down on them.

　This would be great under normal circumstances, but now, the general manager of this entertainment company will have to pay the price for his usual superiority.

　Through the link with the undead unit, sensing the information transmitted back by the wraith that had found its target, a cold light flashed in Moros's eyes.

　"Go forth, my servants!"

　Instead of coming downstairs, Moros chose to stand still and wait quietly.

　He knew that the vengeful spirits would bring the person he wanted to him.

　Time passed slowly, and Moros waited patiently.

　He wasn't made to wait long; in just a few minutes, the vengeful spirits brought the general manager to him.

　The general manager of XX Entertainment Company is no longer the arrogant and domineering figure who looked down on all the signed artists.

　His face was filled with fear and unease, and his eyes revealed deep confusion and bewilderment.

　Clearly, the portly middle-aged man had no idea who these monsters who had escorted him to the top floor of the building were, or what they wanted to do.

　"Who are you……"

　The general manager, with his hands tied behind his back, tried to get answers from Moros, who was surrounded by vengeful spirits.

　However, Moros did not give him that opportunity.

　Before the general manager could finish speaking, the level 5 dark magic [Puppet Master] descended upon him.

　Moros had no intention of wasting time talking to an ordinary person; he chose to speak directly using the power of magic.

　Given Morros's spellcasting abilities, an ordinary general manager would certainly not be immune to his spells.

　In just a moment, the head of the most influential entertainment company on the Mu Continent became a puppet of the necromancer.

　"Tell me, what exactly happened in Eden?"

　"The chairman believed that with Eden's image and singing skills, continuing to focus on classical music would pose a threat to his youngest daughter's acting career. Therefore, he ordered me to transfer her to another field to continue to leverage her value..."

　Faced with Moros's question, the general manager, who was controlled by the power of magic, revealed everything he knew without reservation.

　"So, you just sacrificed Eden's future and dreams like this?"

　"Yes, Master, the company belongs to the chairman, and no one dares to disobey his decisions."

　As if trying to salvage his own precarious life, the general manager continued to explain.

　"In the entertainment industry, artists are merely tools used to generate profits. Although Eden is exceptionally talented, in the chairman's eyes, she is nothing more than a tool to create value for the company..."

　"Shut up!"

　Moros's command interrupted the general manager's words.

　The necromancer certainly understood that the general manager's words made perfect sense, but as Eden's friend, how could he allow Eden to be sacrificed like this?

　"Who exactly is the chairman of this company? What is his family background? Which shareholders have sufficient influence in this company...?"

　Under the power of magic, the general manager willingly told Moros everything he knew.

　As it turns out, free will is utterly ridiculous in the face of the power of magic.

　With just a magic spell, one can manipulate the minds of ordinary people at will, making them obey orders like puppets.

　As he listened quietly to the general manager's narration, a clear plan gradually took shape in Moros's mind.

　He decided to completely transform the entertainment company and then give it to Eden as a gift.

　Therefore, he needs to "talk" to each of the company's shareholders one by one.

　Moros believed that, when faced with a life-or-death situation, the shareholders would make a wise choice.

　If they remain obstinate and unwilling to submit to Moros's will, then the fifth-level dark magic [Puppet Master] will "help" them make the right choice.

　"When you get back, prepare all the relevant materials and the company's development strategy centered on Eden."

　After listening to the general manager's explanation, Moros issued a new order.

　"Master, what about the chairman..."

　"At sunrise tomorrow, you will hear the news of the chairman's passing. At the same time, the other shareholders will gradually transfer their shares to Eden."

　Moros's voice conveyed an unquestionable resolve.

　Upon learning that the chairman's family lived in this city, Moros already knew that after tonight, the stumbling blocks that hindered Eden's pursuit of his artistic ideals would completely disappear.

　Standing on the top floor of the building, overlooking the dazzling lights of Fuyuan City under the night sky, Moros's lips curled into a confident smile.

　He knew that this city would become the stage for Eden to take flight.

　"Eden, may your future shine as brightly as gold!"
