"Get lost!"
Already irritated by the appearance of the Royal Spy, Gu Xi grew furious when he saw the Black Robe Cultists swarming toward him.
Ignoring everything else, he pointed at several Black Robe Cultist corpses nearby that had yet to be dealt with.
"Corpse Explosion, Corpse Explosion, and Corpse Explosion...!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Under Gu Xi's Lesser Corpse Explosion, many of the charging Black Robe Cultists were blasted into the air.
Luna understood Gu Xi's intentions best. Seeing him attack without restraint, she flew to the very front of the battlefield and unleashed three waves of Banshee's Wail at the Black Robe Cultists who had not yet died.
Both Corpse Explosion and Banshee's Wail had considerable power and range.
More than half of the charging Black Robe Cultists were instantly killed or wounded.
A flood of kill notifications flashed before Gu Xi like a scrolling screen.
Killed a cultist (Level 2), gained 11 experience points. Due to a cooperative kill, Contract Undead gained 8 experience points. Elite Cultist Kill (Level 2), gained 9 Points experience. Due to a cooperative kill, Contract Undead gained 19 Points experience. Killed a cultist (Level 2), gained 13 experience points. Due to a cooperative kill, Contract Undead gained 10 experience points... Ding! Total experience has reached the level-up requirement. Please choose whether to level up. Killed a cultist (Level 2), gained 15 experience points (11 experience points overflow stored). Due to a cooperative kill, Contract Undead gained 10 experience points. Elite Cultist Kill (Level 2), gained 19 Points experience (19 Points overflow stored). Due to a cooperative kill, Contract Undead gained 20 Points experience...
Gu Xi's movements paused for a moment. He had not expected this wave to be so rewarding that he would level up immediately.
After leveling up, he would reach Level 2, fully restore health and mana, remove all negative statuses, gain +1 Intelligence, and choose one of the following three skills as a reward.
Dark Knowledge: passive skill, can be upgraded. After mastering it, one can learn Dark Magic. As its level rises, the power of Dark Magic will also increase.
Meditation Practice: Passive skill, can be upgraded. After mastering it, one can learn the Meditation Technique. As its level rises, the difficulty of Meditation that can be learned will also increase.
Undead Domination: Passive skill, can be upgraded. After mastering it, one can strengthen all undead created through Necromancer contracts, summoning, and crafting. During Summoning, there is a higher chance (5%) of creating special undead.
Gu Xi glanced at the level-up prompt, then checked his remaining 400 mana. Instead, he burst into laughter.
"Luna, push forward!"
Luna turned and looked at Gu Xi. Seeing him advancing with the Battle Squad while gathering mana as he walked, she knew he had already made up his mind.
So Luna gave it no further thought and immediately pushed forward.
After advancing more than ten meters, Luna opened her mouth and let out a Banshee's Wail, waking the four to five hundred Black Robe Cultists still standing before the Abandoned Gate.
After letting out that cry, Luna quickly turned back and moved closer to Gu Xi.
The Battle Squad around Gu Xi swiftly stepped forward, confronting the four to five hundred Black Robe Cultists head-on.
Before the two sides came into contact, Gu Xi, who was in the middle of Summoning, shifted his spell and pointed at the corpses before the Black Robe Cultists that he had not yet had time to summon.
"Corpse Explosion!"
Gu Xi used up all of his mana in one go.
This was no longer just two or three Lesser Corpse Explosions, but more than eighty of them.
At first, Gu Xi pointed at the corpses on the ground. Later, he simply attacked any Black Robe Cultists blasted into the air.
Under one Lesser Corpse Explosion after another, the entire underground space was stirred awake. More and more Black Robe Cultists rose from where they had been standing and charged into the range of Gu Xi's Corpse Explosions.
Only after squeezing out the last trace of his mana did Gu Xi take a step back and reach toward the area where the chain of explosions had just occurred.
At Gu Xi's gesture, countless white motes flew into his hand.
Soul Extraction.
Having exhausted all his mana, Gu Xi's face was somewhat pale. Yet as he stood behind the white motes he had drawn over, several traces of an Abomination-like aura appeared around him.
After the white motes gathered together, Gu Xi did not combine the Soul Shards into Complete Souls one by one as he had before.
Instead, he turned his hand, and the Soul Shards automatically collided with one another.
Then Gu Xi no longer wanted those Complete Souls, nor did he need any corpses. Pressing both hands downward, the Complete Souls fell like raindrops onto the corpses that had just been blown apart.
"Level up. Choose Undead Domination. Summoning! Get up!"
As a golden light flashed over Gu Xi's body, his depleted mana rapidly refilled, along with his life and status.
Name: Gu Xi Game Number: 629SHD2S0FXC30 Class: Necromancer Level: 2 (2356/5000) Talent: Not Activated Status: Life (310/310, Hungry), Mana (550/550) Attributes: Strength 3.2, Agility 3.3, Constitution 3.1, Intelligence 5.5, Perception 3.7, Charisma 3.6 Class Skills: Summoning Level 1 (36/100), Lesser Corpse Explosion Level 2 (17/200), Lesser Bone Shield Level 1 (3/100) Active Skill: Throwing Level 2 (61/200) Passive Skills: Undead Knowledge Level 3, Undead Pact Level 1, Magic Knowledge Level 4, Basic Science Level 3, Basic Reading Level 2, Basic Writing Level 2, Undead Domination Level 1.
After glancing over his new status, Gu Xi turned his attention to the Summoning he had just cast.
As the white motes fell onto the corpses like raindrops, the corpses on the ground that had already been blasted once exploded again.
This time, however, the explosions were not nearly as powerful. They merely blew the corpses into bloody pulp.
Amid the flying flesh and blood, Skeletons crawled out one after another.
At the same time, notification after notification appeared before Gu Xi.
