I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Karion began to teach Sun Yang his basic knowledge...

Three hours later...

Sun Yang stared at the air in confusion. He seemed to hear a lot of unfamiliar, incomprehensible words, which, when combined, seemed to trigger certain phenomena, but these phenomena were also influenced by certain objective factors that could be verified.

From the mouth of this white-haired, spitting old man before him, these bizarre phenomena all have their own hypothetical theories and supporting systems. These deduced processes will confirm a reliable and achievable phenomenon.

These incomprehensible logics, every word was torturing Sun Yang's underdeveloped brain cells. Hand in hand, they passed over his head at low altitude, leaving only his brain still trembling in the words.

"To sum up, this is the basic theory of the Soul Arrow." When Karion ended his story with an epilogue, Sun Yang woke up from his confusion.

Fortunately, I secretly started recording. Sun Yang coughed twice, closed his eyes, and looked at what came to his mind.

The Soul Arrow icon has appeared. Although I don't understand the principle, it seems that it can be used if I want.

"Then I'll try." Sun Yang was too lazy to pretend, so he took out a wizard's staff from the void and tried to shoot a soul arrow at the ocean.

A light blue spell condensed at the tip of the staff, and then shot out at an extremely fast speed, probably similar to a crossbow arrow, and you could still see its trajectory.

The soul arrow dissipated into the air after flying hundreds of meters. From beginning to end, Sun Yang did not feel any difficulty in casting the spell. Mobilizing the energy in his body, concentrating it, and then activating it was as easy as pulling the trigger.

As for the power, Sun Yang tested it on the rocks and the ground. It was probably about the same as an assault rifle, which could easily cause the zombies a lot of pain. Of course, it could also be because his intelligence points reached double digits.

Considering that soul spells specifically mention having a good effect on metal armor, perhaps the armor-piercing effect is more worth looking forward to.

"You've mastered it very quickly, Sun Yang. You're worthy of being a master. I believe you can apply the same knowledge to other spells. So, please sit down, and we'll continue explaining the subsequent spell models..." Karion held down the excited Sun Yang and spoke earnestly.

"Okay, okay." Sun Yang actually couldn't understand what these principles were, but as long as he could sit for a few hours and perform magic, why not do it?

Karion began explaining the subsequent revisions and changes to Soul Arrow, from Soul Arrow to Soul Great Arrow, to Powerful Soul Arrow and Powerful Soul Great Arrow, as well as the variations and applications of Soul Magic based on this foundation.

According to his research, soul magic is malleable and can be used to coat weapons, strengthen armor, or simply increase power. Perhaps even more uses can be developed.

Most of what Karion taught was the foundation of soul magic, but even so, it was still obscure knowledge compared to what Karion had taught before.

He finally explained a kind of magic that can release soul bait to lure nearby zombies to attack. This is his exclusive spell, but because it is too difficult to learn, no student has mastered it so far.

In one day, from daytime to dusk, Sun Yang managed to master all the contents (meaning it was fine as long as it could be used).

Basically, it involved throwing soul arrows in various ways, enchanting equipment, and inducing homesickness in the zombies. However, the amount of knowledge involved was still quite a lot, and even with the undead's uniquely strong willpower, Sun Yang had a hard time staying awake.

He was too bad at memorizing these things. It was too difficult to ask someone who only scored 30 points in the math college entrance examination to understand such things.

But even so, this knowledge can only be called the foundation. At best, it is a transformation and application of the foundation.

Although Karion calls himself "Dark Karion" and says that he is a great wizard outside, in fact, the magic he studied all flowed out from Dolan Gureg.

Therefore, what he taught was basically the basics. The mages who worked here all had their own unique skills. Karion's own skill was Homesickness, and the rest of the time he used Soul Arrows to fight.

This is also the reason why he can wander around Secret Harbor freely. Secret Harbor is full of zombies, and they will all be attracted away by homesickness.

As dusk spread across the honey-like earth, Karion smacked his dry mouth. He watched Sun Yang, dazed yet able to cast his spell, nod in satisfaction. His vision was still good.

That's right, the knowledge he possessed was not rich, and the road to learning magic was long and profound. Even he himself was still far away from the mysteries of magic.

He once taught at the Meivia Academy, and practiced magic with the teachers and students there, trying to make his abilities stronger. But after a period of contact, he became disappointed.

This academy was filled with people who flattered each other but were lazy and gluttonous, and they couldn't even understand the little things he was talking about. How could such people help him, the obscure Karion, to understand the secrets of magic?

As soon as he arrived in Dolan Gureg, he immediately discovered the rich spiritual power here. This is the most suitable place for him to improve and study magic. He will definitely be able to learn new magic here.

Even within a few days of disembarking, he was found by a puppet master who possessed an extraordinary ability to learn magic. Karion believed that going to Dolan Gureg was the wisest decision he had ever made.

Sun Yang looked at the complete gray icons in his mind and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to listen to this guy nagging.

Although this knowledge, especially the simple and easy-to-understand basic knowledge, is very valuable information, Sun Yang just can't understand it.

I'll save these videos as recordings in Griffin's database. Sun Yang only records magic and dark arts. Miracles are storytelling, while the teaching of spells is less theoretical and more inclined towards practical application.

"I think I learned too much today. I need to go back and rest. Maybe I'll come to see you in a few days." Sun Yang said goodbye to Karion and the spell girl. He supported his dizzy head and walked back to his room staggeringly.

"Teacher, will he be able to remember so many things if you teach him at once? He has been learning spells from me for nearly a week." The spell girl asked her teacher after Sun Yang left.

"I can sense that he's memorized everything, but he's just unable to use it right now. The path of studying magic is so long, even the most talented have to start from the beginning. He should be training over the next few days to familiarize himself with the knowledge I'm imparting."

Karion sat down calmly, feeling the magical power of this place again.

Sun Yang didn't do anything else. He hurried back to his room, asked his agent for food to fill his hungry stomach, grabbed M14 who had nothing to do to warm the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.

Over the next few days, Sun Yang gradually accumulated souls while familiarizing himself with his newfound power. In the game, the journey from Secret Harbor to the Forgotten Cage took less than a minute, but in reality, it must have drifted by slowly.

Sun Yang wasn't very familiar with Dark Souls' geography. What if it took a month to drift there? He'd been constantly switching back and forth between several familiar maps these past few days, letting the tactical figures take turns accumulating combat experience while also accumulating souls himself.

After a week of intense fighting, Sun Yang wiped out all the enemies in the Dolan Fortress area and the Hyde Ruins. To be honest, walking through the empty Dolan Fortress, Sun Yang felt a sense of absurdity.

Although it is true that killing an animal 12 times will lead to extinction in the game, I didn't expect that this world also follows the mechanism of extinction.

Of course, as long as they sign the Overlord Contract, these soldiers will still get up after a puff of smoke and continue to beat Sun Yang.

During this period, Sun Yang took the time to increase his intelligence to 20, directly replacing his soul arrows with powerful soul giant arrows.

In terms of power, it can be upgraded from an assault rifle to a heavy machine gun, allowing a single shot to easily penetrate the armor of a turtle soldier. The only trade-off is a slower spellcasting speed.

The lightning spear is very effective against metal puppet-like enemies, and it can be used very quickly. Unlike the soul arrows that need to be condensed, as long as Sun Yang holds the miracle catalyst, a long strip of golden lightning will be wrapped around it as soon as he thinks about it.

After clearing the Hyde ruins again and returning the storage equipment, Sun Yang sat down in front of the campfire, but no enemies appeared.

He knew it was time for him to go, as he had already obtained enough souls.

The various seafood at the base was sufficient to last for a long time, enough for hundreds of humanoids to consume for several months. The water reserves were also quite ample, enough to last for several months. After all, the humanoids had always considered recycling water resources.

"Oh? Just in time, you're back." Rukatiye was still wearing a hat and a mask, looking like he didn't want anyone to approach him.

"Long time no see. Is there something you need from me, Rukatiye?" Sun Yang stretched his stiff body.

"I plan to go and take a look at the Forgotten Cage, and for this I need to take a magic ship. But it is a bit difficult to break through the secret port, and I need your help." Rukatiye said.

"Of course there's no problem, but I won't do business at a loss. If I eliminate the enemies there, what kind of compensation do you plan to pay? Let me make it clear first, I have already picked up all the supplies in Secret Port." Sun Yang did not rush to agree, but put forward his own demands.

Although Sun Yang didn't reject being a good person, the line between a good person and a bad person wasn't very clear. Wanting Rukatiye to survive didn't conflict with collecting her fees.

Sun Yang didn't like to hear the phrase "be a good person till the end." He believed that whether or not one wanted to do good was a personal decision, not forced by others. When faced with those who accused him of not sharing, he would beat up the kindhearted ones and kill the unkind ones and take all their possessions.

As for players, if you coax them, brag a little and give them some praise, they might give you something.

"I picked up a lot of wedge stones when I was adventuring in other places. I think you are not short of souls. As for wedge stones, I still have some left, besides the ones I used to strengthen my equipment." Rukatiye took out a small pile of wedge stone fragments from his pocket.

"It's easy with this. When are you leaving? It doesn't matter. No deposit is required. You are a regular customer. You can pay after the work is done." Sun Yang was no longer sleepy when he heard about the wedge-shaped stone.

"If you don't need to prepare, then let's go now. I don't like waiting." Rukatiye patted his sword and shield.

"Okay, give me a few minutes." Sun Yang gestured at the air a few times. Rukatiye thought Sun Yang was casting a spell, but in fact he was opening a window to look for a suitable candidate.

"We'll need three or four people to shoot all the enemies later. Who's willing to come?" Sun Yang shouted directly.

AK15 is always the first one to be photographed, and soon a bunch of idle humanoids follow.

Sun Yang picked out some of the figures, and besides the AK15, there were a few others that caught his eye: the Colt revolver and the Hanyang revolver, also known as Xiao Ai.

He needed the actual combat effectiveness of the pistol dolls. Among the dolls currently accompanying him in combat, machine guns provided strong fire suppression, rifles provided precision shooting, and submachine guns and assault rifles provided medium- to short-range assaults. These served the same purpose as the weapons in their hands.

As for the Pistol Dolls, they were mostly used to charge forward, carrying a large number of rocket launchers and explosives. After all, there wasn't much need for Pistol Dolls. If anything, they would be good for infiltration or security work.

However, Sun Yang doubted whether he would ever need to go stealth. Therefore, it was important to understand the combat environment suitable for the Pistol Doll.

As for Xiao Ai, Sun Yang needs to understand her actual combat strength. If we go by the strength in the setting, it is a humanoid Gundam. Although the endurance is limited, the firepower is really strong.

Sun Yang called out to AK15, Colt, and Xiao Ai. Amidst the humanoids' congratulations, the three quickly prepared their necessary weapons and headed to the action platform to await orders.

At the same time, Sun Yang liberated the right to use the puppets, and the humanoids could command the four puppets under their control to improve combat efficiency.

However, the combat assistance that the puppet can provide is limited. The AK15 can only be used as a firepower point and supply point, the Colt can be used normally, and Xiao Ai can only be used as a supply point.

After all, the puppet is just a machine that receives commands, and the body is just an ordinary military figure with special packaging. It is not as powerful as the AK15 itself, nor can it fly around like Xiao Ai.

In the end, Sun Yang chose M14 to lead the charge. There was no reason for it. She had rune limbs installed and needed to test whether these limbs were useful in actual combat.

"Okay, I'm ready. Any questions?" After clicking a bunch of things on the screen, Sun Yang turned his head to look at Rukatiye who was frowning.

"No, I was just thinking that your casting action is quite strange. Does it have any special meaning?" Rukatiye pretended to draw in the air.

"This is a technique I have specially studied to communicate with puppets." Sun Yang directly made up the setting.

"That's really amazing. Shall we go?" Rukatiye could only admire him sincerely.

Sun Yang said it was no problem. Then, one in front of the other, they groped their way toward the campfire. Their vision was shrouded in mist, and the scenery around them transformed into a cave.

Soon, a symbol requesting support appeared next to Sun Yang. After confirming that the person was Rukatiye, he touched the symbol.

32 Goodbye Myrtle Harbor

"Do you have a lot of dolls, Mr. Sun Yang?" Rukatiye asked as he looked at the human figures that Sun Yang shook out.

A man in black was carrying an AK15, and beside him stood four puppets with the same clothing and faces, carrying spare weapons and a large amount of ammunition and explosives.

She was dressed in a way that didn't look like she was suited for combat: a lightweight denim outfit, a Colt revolver, and a belt around her waist with a dozen speedloaders hanging from it. Three of the figures behind her were wearing the same outfit, but the last one was carrying several rocket launchers.

Xiao Ai's outfit challenges Rukatiye's aesthetics. The flashy white armor has insufficient coverage on the thighs and chest.

She also had a mysterious large sword on her back and a strange spear in her hand. More importantly, she seemed to be able to fly.

As for her puppets, they were merely symbolic, each carrying a pistol and slathered with cluster grenades, railguns, propellant packs, and the like. They were purely supply units.

Finally, there's M14. Each of her puppets is also equipped with a submachine gun, while the last one carries only a machine gun and various tactical gadgets. It's as if they're planning to use themselves as a tactical squad. The only odd thing about them is that the leading puppet's arms are completely black.

So, in Rukatiye's opinion, Sun Yang first summoned four puppets, and then in the blink of an eye, the number of puppets increased fivefold. Moreover, the styles of these puppets were very different.

Although Sun Yang only moved out the prepared puppet.

"Quite a lot, quite a lot. Okay, everyone, look here." Sun Yang clapped his hands, and twenty human figures with different expressions looked over at him in unison. The scene was still a bit weird.

[Issue the mission, Commander.] AK15 said impatiently.

"There are no specific targets this time. Just fight your best. The enemies here aren't very strong, so just treat it as a real combat drill. If you have any questions, ask them now."

"Commander, I think I'm enough on my own. I don't even need these puppets." AK15's attitude was a bit stiff, as if she thought this was a battle she could fight alone.

"I'm not asking you to kill them all. I'm asking you to use ammunition freely. I need to monitor your ammunition consumption. The next area may be larger than Dolan Fortress, and supply may be difficult. I will prepare extra ammunition based on your usage." Sun Yang explained.

AK15 has no habit of saving ammunition, which is related to her missions and combat style. She probably rarely carries out missions with limited supplies and long combat time. In order to maintain her suppression of the enemy, she often uses a lot of ammunition to kill the enemy.

[What about the others...] AK15 still looked like he wanted to monopolize the battlefield.

"I also need to provide a real combat environment for others. You are not the only one who needs to fight." Sun Yang rolled his eyes.

[You are right, Commander.] AK15 shut up.

The pressure from the AK15 is so strong that I don't dare to speak... Anyway, I'll do my best. Colt's voice finally drifted out.

"Then Commander, can I fly and fight in the air?" Xiao Ai, wearing a seemingly useless mecha, said.

"Fly hard and fight hard, so that I can consider how much supplies to provide you." Sun Yang said.

[Understood!] Xiao Ai nodded vigorously.

"I don't need to ask. Commander, shall we begin?" M14 asked, holding his weapon.

"Let's start." Sun Yang had nothing to say.

As soon as she finished speaking, AK15 and her four puppets rushed out. They kept pulling the triggers toward the distant darkness. Then there was the sound of something falling to the ground. She and her puppets quickly smashed through all the houses in sight, shooting through the skulls of any still-moving ones.

Colt ran in another direction. Several puppets' pistols continuously fired fire, spraying bloody splatters on the approaching enemies. While not as efficient as an AK-15, Colt's attack speed was not slow in this complex environment.

Whenever there were more enemies, she would use the stunt of a Western gunslinger, slamming the hammer with her left hand and pulling the trigger with her right hand, and in less than a second she could knock down up to six enemies, each of whom was shot through the eye socket.

Although Sun Yang didn't know what Colt had done before, she had already mastered the American Iai technique to perfection, almost as good as the best sharpshooters in the world. However, she was still a little behind Bob Munden.

The puppets then methodically shot down the remaining enemies, while Colt easily ejected the shells and reloaded. Under the humanoids' extremely accurate shooting, the enemies who rushed over were only shot in the head.

Although only Colt's main body has a high hit rate, the puppet she controls is not weak either. It's just that the level of being sure to hit the eyes has been changed to being sure to hit the head.

But the firepower and duration were still lacking. Later, he'd ask Pascal if he could upgrade the branded weapon system for the humanoid. Sun Yang silently wrote down the precautions in his notebook.

Over Misty Harbor, Xiao Ai's thrusters carried her rapidly, her Hanyang rifle rapidly mowing down the enemies below. Occasionally, she'd drop cluster grenades, shattering a large area of ​​houses and the enemies hiding inside. Occasionally, she'd rev up her thrusters and chop off four or five heads with the machete behind her.

Her puppets, carrying a large pile of supplies, would run desperately behind them. Sometimes they would run directly into areas that had not been cleared, only to be surrounded by zombies who would draw their knives and hack them to pieces.

Although Xiao Ai noticed it in time and quickly ordered the puppets to kill the zombies, it was still too troublesome to drag the supply team along. She had to distract herself and pay attention to the situation on the ground.

However, Xiao Ai's flight endurance is not bad, at least it can fly for about an hour at a time.

Xiao Ai's supply troops couldn't use ground puppets. They had to either use drones, establish a dedicated ground supply team, or even build a supply base vehicle. Sun Yang was writing and drawing in his notebook.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Snap! Snap! From time to time, the sounds of rifles and submachine guns could be heard overhead. M14 advanced with his puppet squad, armed with ample firepower.

Because they were well prepared, each puppet carried additional weapons. M14 fully operated each puppet, letting the puppets with machine guns and submachine guns attack alternately, while he was responsible for supporting sniping.
