Morris felt the Skeleton Unicorn beneath him tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light appeared on his left and right sides, which in the blink of an eye transformed into two identical Skeleton Unicorn, each with a " Morris " sitting on it. Not only did they look the same, but their facial expressions were also identical.
Before he could examine the two clones closely, they suddenly began to twist Transfiguration, turning back into the shapes of Yanhua and Guantou.
"Create illusions?" He raised an eyebrow.
The Skeleton Unicorn turned to him and nodded.
Morris asked, "What's the maximum you can do?"
If it's merely a visual illusion, then it's better than nothing.
The Skeleton Unicorn understood its master's meaning, and its horn once again glowed with a ghostly blue light.
This time it was exceptionally bright, almost covering the entire room.
Then, Morris discovered that the world had changed in his eyes.
The floor beneath their feet disappeared, replaced by damp soil and decaying leaves. The walls around them were no longer there, but tall trees, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth after the rain.
Morris rolled over and landed on his feet, feeling a soft, yielding sensation. He then squatted down and poked the ground with his finger.
It is indeed real soil.
No, that's not true, it's just an illusion created by the Skeleton Unicorn.
The illusion was so realistic that it could deceive not only the eyes but also the ears, nose, and touch.
He grabbed a handful of dirt and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm, and taste too.
Morris turned to look at the Skeleton Unicorn, sensing through the Magic Power Link that its magical energy was rapidly depleting.
Maintaining this scale of illusions is still too much of a burden for an undead creature that has just advanced to the third tier.
"That's enough, stop now," he said.
As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding scenery began to blur rapidly, and the walls, floor, and ceiling reappeared.
The Skeleton Unicorn walked back to Morris and bent down.
However, Morris doesn't want to go for a drive right now.
He patted the Skeleton Unicorn's head and slowly walked around it.
This ability to create illusions undoubtedly has great potential.
And this is only the third tier.
Perhaps, he could perform another advancement ritual on the Skeleton Unicorn to enhance its abilities.
Do it that way.
Morris made a decision immediately and began setting up the magic circle.
After finishing, he took out all the remaining Gap Energy Crystal from his body and placed them aside, making up five glass jars, about five hundred crystals in total.
Since he didn't know the exact amount needed, he could only try to prepare as much as possible.
"Go," Morris said.
The Skeleton Unicorn obediently took a step and walked to the center of the magic circle.
"The world of the living has not forgotten you, and the peaceful rest of death is not your final chapter."
After the chanting ended, the magic circle was activated.
As before, Morris began to pour Gap Energy Crystal into it.
The mutation occurred after both cans were used.
Suddenly, the gray-black mist became extremely violent, as if it wanted to tear something apart, and surged towards the Skeleton Unicorn.
Under the impact of this force, the soul fire in the Skeleton Unicorn's eyes flickered and became extremely unstable.
Morris frowned.
Soon after, the Skeleton Unicorn began to tremble violently, as the mist had been almost completely absorbed.
We need more!
Morris reacted immediately, pouring the remaining three cans of energy crystals into the magic circle.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, countless red threads appeared on the skeleton of the Skeleton Unicorn, intertwining and spreading until the entire body was covered.
It's growing flesh and blood!
Morris watched helplessly as his Skeleton Unicorn gradually came to life, transforming from a mere skeleton into a living, breathing creature.
This scene... to be honest, is a bit terrifying.
Finally, the advancement ceremony ended.
The Skeleton Unicorn in the center of the magic circle has completely changed its appearance.
It was no longer just a skeleton; a dark white fur covered its entire body, clinging to the muscles beneath. Its limbs were long and powerful, and its tail had grown out, making it look almost exactly like an ordinary Unicorn.
However, its single horn remained an eerie black, and its eye sockets were not normal eyes, but burning soul flames.
Skeleton Unicorn— no, it would be more accurate to call it Undead Unicorn now.
Morris stepped forward and reached out to stroke its neck.
That cold touch was still familiar.
The Undead Unicorn suddenly let out a cry, a clear and long wail like that of an ordinary Unicorn, filled with joy.
"Actually," Morris said, stroking his chin, "I prefer you the way you were."
He still thinks a skeletal frame is sexier.
"!"
Upon hearing this, the screech of the Undead Unicorn abruptly ceased.
A ghostly blue light shone again on its horns.
Then, its fur began to disappear, and it returned to its original skeletal frame.
Morris chuckled to himself.
His Undead Unicorn, in order to cater to his aesthetic sense, specially modified its appearance using the ability to create illusions.
It looks like bone, but flesh and blood are still present.
"Alright," Morris tapped the other person's head and said happily, "Next, we'll proceed with the ability test."
Two hours later, Morris had a pretty good grasp of the changes that occurred after the Undead Unicorn reached the fourth tier.
The first change is in the body.
The flesh that grew out wasn't just to make it look more alive; it was a complete transformation of the body.
This modification allows the Undead Unicorn to store and mobilize more magic power, representing a comprehensive evolution.
Secondly, the illusionary abilities have been enhanced, not only lasting longer but also affecting a wider area.
Most importantly, Undead Unicorn can now create illusions to make themselves look like ordinary Unicorn.
This means that Morris can openly ride the Undead Unicorn out and about.
While still shocking, at least it wouldn't cause panic compared to riding a skeleton.
Overall, Morris was very satisfied.
The only downside is that it consumes too much Gap Energy Crystal.
If the target were Bone Dragon, his amount of energy crystals would probably be far from sufficient.
One week later, in the early morning.
Morris rode his Undead Unicorn into the Forbidden Forest and began to stroll around, a rare treat for him.
The Undead Unicorn moved very slowly, making almost no sound as it stepped on the still-snowy ground.
At this moment, it was covered by an illusion, making it look like an ordinary Unicorn.
Morris did the same; he had the Undead Unicorn "transform" him into Kyle.
He wanted to test whether a normal Unicorn would still react negatively when it saw him under this disguise.
