Gavin Hawke waved to the visitor, and the morning mist of Silver Moon City condensed into beads on his Saint Swordsman's shoulder armor: "Albert, come and sit."
In the morning mist of Yongge Grassland, cornflowers automatically fall under the footsteps of the skeleton warriors, revealing the hidden path. Erin released four black iron-level skeletons, and their bone blades shone with silver in the morning light - that was the qualitative change brought about by the increase in the entire region.
"The search radius expanded to 200 meters." Erin thought, and the skeleton warriors immediately dispersed in a fan shape. The 150-point speed brought by the agility attribute almost turned into a afterimage. The first skeleton warrior suddenly stopped and swung his bone sword to the weeds that were waist-high—
[Successfully Kill Level 1 Hare, Experience + 10]
[Acquired Material: Hare Fur ×1]
The moment the experience bar jumped 1%, the kill prompts of the second and third skeletons popped up one after another. When the fourth skeleton nailed a Level 2 poison frog to the trunk, Erin noticed that their attack frequency was 30% faster than the initial state—a dual effect of the whole domain amplification and skill level.
"This kind of efficiency does not require assistance." She murmured to herself, summoning the fifth skeleton warrior. The recovery speed of mental power in meditation has been accelerated due to the improvement of level, which confirms the knowledge of "Efficiency Bonus of Mental Career Meditation" in the theoretical class.
Half an hour later, Erin ushered in her first upgrade, the astral energy exploded in her body, and the capacity of the summoning space expanded to 20 grids:
[Name: Erin Moser]
[Profession: Necromancer (only)]
[Level: 2 (1.00%)]
[Strength: 20]
[Agility: 20]
[Spirit: 40]
[Equipment: None]
[Summoning Space: 5/20, Skeleton Warrior (Number: 5)]
[Talent: Entire Regional Amplification (Level 1) - All skills are improved by 10 times]
[Passive: Damage transfer - Your own damage is borne by the summoned object]
[Skills: Soul Flame (Level 2), Summoning Skeleton Warrior (Level 2)]
The newly summoned Level 2 skeleton warriors are obviously different: the astral tower bricks between the bones are shining with shimmering, the cracks are reduced by nearly half, and the posture of holding the sword is smoother. The attribute panel shows that the four-dimensional attributes skyrocketed to 250 points, far exceeding the initial value of the main battle profession of the same level.
The roar of ice magic came from the distance, and Serra's elemental storm was cleaning up a messy wild monster area. The sound of Kase's sword and shield crashing followed closely, and the prophet-assisted healing light shield was destroyed above his head. But Erin knew that the efficiency of these regular teams would never catch up with the carpet-style search of Skeleton Sea.
When the sixth skeleton warrior joined the team, Erin suddenly noticed that in the mist deep in the grassland, several pairs of green eyes were approaching - it was a level 3 rotten wolf, two levels higher than the regular monster in the novice area. The bone structure under the fur was somewhat similar to her skeleton warrior.
"It's coming just right." Erin murmured to herself, her soul flame condensed in her palm. The dark blue flames had no temperature, but they made the rotten wolf within a hundred meters stop collectively, as if the soul was clenched by an invisible hand. The first rotten wolf that rushed to fall silently in the flames. As the experience bar leaped, a prompt suddenly came from her summoning space:
[Detected energy resonance of the dead, unlocking skill: Bone Soul Sensing (Elementary) - Show the location of the undead creature within 500 meters]
Sierra's ice cone technique exploded in the distance, and the accompanying system prompt sound is clearly audible: [Serra Winter rises to level 3]. But Erin looked at the experience bar that she was about to fill, and knew that the answer to this upgraded race had already been written among the skeleton sword shadows all over the ground.
The bone blade of the Level 2 Skeleton Warrior cut through the morning mist, and Erin Messer noticed that the astral tower brick ash at his joint had completely faded, revealing white bones with metallic luster. On the attribute panel, the four-dimensional attributes soared from 150 points to 250 points - this is not a simple level improvement, but also a dual qualitative change in the overall amplification talent and skill level.
"At level 2 of the regular profession, the total of four dimensions is only 80 points." Erin murmured to herself, her fingertips slashing the back of the skeleton warrior, and the soul fire disappeared. "And each of them has basic attributes comparable to level 10 warriors."
The seven skeleton warriors scattered in fan shape, and the trajectory of the broken sword plowed deep ditches on the Yongge grassland. Level 1 hare, level 2 poisonous frog, and even level 3 rotten wolf have no resistance in front of them. The muffled sound of bone swords entering the flesh and the experience prompt sounds one after another:
[Kill Level 2 Gray Haired Cat, Experience + 20]
[Kill Level 3 Brown Dog, Experience + 30]
[Kill Level 4 Blue Eye Rat King, Experience + 40]
Erin suddenly noticed a translucent map in her mind - the area explored by the skeleton warrior is outlined with astral runes, which is an additional effect brought by the "Bone Soul Sensing" skill. When the seventh Skeleton Warrior nailed a level 2 gray-haired cat that escaped the net to the oak, she decided to test her only active attack skill.
"Soul Flame."
The dark blue flame condensed in the palm of the palm, but the surrounding cornflowers were instantly withered without temperature. The flame teleported to the center of the gray-haired cat's eyebrows, the creature's pupils suddenly contracted, the body twitched twice and fell silently to the ground - there were no scars on the surface of the body, only the tiny cracks when the soul fire was extinguished showed the destruction at the soul level.
[Kill Level 2 Gray Haired Cat, Experience + 20]
"Mental Attack." Erin stared at her palm and finally understood the true meaning of the skill description: ignoring physical defense, penetrating elemental shields, and directly burning the soul. This attack method is particularly fatal to high-level monsters with powerful bodies.
When the upgraded light column fell from the sky, Erin's summoning space capacity expanded to 30 grids, and the skeleton warrior skill was upgraded to level 3. The newly summoned skeleton warriors have denser bones, cracks completely disappear, and their sword-holding posture is like a rigorously trained undead guard, with four-dimensional attributes soaring to 350 points - meaning their attack power has surpassed most regular professions below level 15.
"Ten are enough to clean up the entire novice zone." Erin thought, and ten skeleton warriors formed a cone array and began a carpet-style search. The howl of the level 5 green wolf sounded in the mist, but it ended abruptly at the moment when it came into contact with the bone sword, and there was no chance to fight back.
Outside the dungeon, several principals sat around the oak table, and the array plates of the Astral Council projected real-time battle situations on the table. Gavin Hawke's Saint Swordsman's emblem was slightly hot, watching Erin's kill count:
"Su Qianxing's record that year was level 5 / 12 hours, and Leila Messe also stopped at level 5."
"Serra Winter is currently at Level 3, meeting rare career expectations."
"But this necromancer..." Marcus Virant's array plate suddenly beeped, "Her summoning objects are simultaneously drawing a dungeon map, which is the 'Dead Mapping' ability at the bottom of the Astral Tower!"
Gavin stared at the projection of the army-disciplined skeleton warrior, remembering the emblem left by Erin's mother: "When she summoned the tenth skeleton, a certain layer of seal in the Astral Tower appeared loose – did you feel it?"
In the mist in the distance, the Crow Feather Emblem Skeleton that Dark Erosion Clan finally took action. They drilled out of the soil layer under the corpse of the rotten wolf. The red light in the eye socket locked Erin's position, and a unique hissing sound from the Shadow Crow technique was emitted in their throats. At this time, Erin was immersed in the escalation of escalation and did not notice that the same pattern as her ruby appeared in the bone blade of a skeleton warrior in the depths of the summoning space.
Albert Winter - The patriarch of the Winter family, Serra Winter's father, sat down in military steps, with an ice-blue heraldry looming in her cuffs: "Gavin, long time no see."
The Astral Council on the table specially provided black tea with steaming hot, Gavin poured tea for him: "Are you here to see Serra? Her performance in the dungeon is very impressive, and the Elemental Mage's clearing efficiency is a model."
Albert had a head and a tough face as a stone sculpture from Eternal Night Academy: "The family secret technique monitored her magic fluctuations. Unfortunately, military affairs were plagued by her and she failed to experience her transfer ceremony."
"We're just discussing that it's not difficult to hit Level 5 in 12 hours with Sierra's progress." Gavin stared at the real-time battle situation projection, "But Xiajing Academy - Oh no, you know the admission criteria for Yongye Academy."
Albert chuckled, his fingertips slashing across the edge of the cup: "The Winter family can provide resources when necessary."
Gavin shook his head: "You know Sera's temperament, she would think it was an insult to her strength. Remember what she said three years ago when she split the Ice Dragon cub with her bare hands? 'The family badge is glory, not a crutch.'"
Albert sighed and asked, "I heard that your school has released a hidden profession? Necromancer?"
Gavin's array plate suddenly lit up, showing that Erin Moser's kill count exceeded 300: "Yes, he can summon skeleton warriors. The specific strength is still unclear, but the discipline of the summoning objects... comparable to the undead guards of the Star Tower."
Albert raised his eyebrows, and the ice magic slightly flowed on his cuffs: "The profession of dancing with the dead is inevitably arousing doubts."
"Her sister Laila Messer was a top student who was admitted to Eternal Night Academy at the 16th level last year." Gavin emphasized, "and Master Marcus believes that the appearance of the Necromancer is related to the resonance of the bottom of the Astral Tower - this may be an opportunity once in a century."
Deep in the Yongge Grassland, Erin Moser suddenly felt the traction of the astral chains. The farthest skeleton warrior stopped 500 meters away, the bone sword inserted into the soil, and the soul fire Mingmeng conveyed a warning of limiting distance.
"It turns out that the summoning radius is affected by mental power." She murmured to herself, recalling the scattered skeleton warriors, and 10 white bones reorganized into a wedge array in front of her. As the bone blades collided, the head of the level 5 green wolf landed on the ground, and the experience bar beat 20% faster than the previous hour.
When the fourth upgraded light column exploded, Erin's summoning space capacity exceeded 40 grids, and the skeleton warrior skill was upgraded to level 4. The newly summoned skeleton glowed with a bronze shimmer, and the simplified runes of the Astral Tower appeared on the back of the sword-holding hand - that was the hidden evolution brought about by the increase in the entire region.

"25 points of magic consume...but the summoning radius expands to 800 meters." Erin calculated the cost-effectiveness and waved her hand to let the skeleton warrior continue to advance. The roar of the level 7 brown bear sounded in the mist, but it stopped abruptly at the moment when it touched the bone blade, and the ice-type magic pattern on the fur was not even time to activate.
