Chapter 20 - Necro laboratory

'Hehe, this will be funny…

System! Summon two Tier 3 snechus!'

[ 54 units of death energy spent, summoning in progress…]

Two purple circles compared on the ground, and just like what happened the previous time, a Tier 3 snechu appeared within both circles.

[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 16/15.]

'Expand the death domain'

[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 1/16.]

"Good… Let's go to clear the base and test those two snechus...Oh right, what about this corpse?" Aven said while pointing toward the corpse of the snechu that laid on the ground.

"Let's take his fangs" Since the fangs usually are the most valuable part of its body, Skaarl took both of them before storing them within his bag while mumbling. "Damn, if only I had a spatial item…"

After that, the little army proceeded in their normal formation toward the enemy base.

With the three purple-eyed snechus in the front, the two humans covered with the 'Veil of the dead' at the center of the formation and the 5 red-eyes snechus behind them.

Around 20 minutes later…

In front of the huge tree, three Tier 3 snechus were discussing something, after deciding something, one of them crawled in front of a 15 meters long snake with 8 eyes and two pairs of wings.

The Tier 3 snechu reported to his mother the situation. "Mother! A lot of our brothers are disappearing! Even our big brother disappeared half an hour ago!"

The 'Mother' opened her eyes and asked while she was already thinking about something else.

"Why did he leave the tree?"

The 'little' snechu answered while shivering, he already knows what will happen next...

"He said that he would search for the intruders…"

And his mother reacted as he thought...

"Why didn't you stop him?!" The mother asked enraged

'That idiot! Why the hell did he leave alone?!' She could clearly imagine the guardian asking her why their army lost a Tier 4 powerhouse.

"We didn't ask him to do it! He simply took off the instant he heard that some of us disappeared!"

At this moment, while they were talking, a volley of wind blades and death energy hit the two Tier 3 snechus.

One of them died on the spot while the other received a critical injury, it's clear that he won't be able to fight anymore.

The mother immediately understood the situation. 'They are too strong...I must escape!'.

Her body shined in a green light as she took off.

Skaarl was surprised by that action… "Uh? A brainless snake with half a brain cell? That is interesting…"

Unfortunately for her, 3 wind blades and a dark spear hit her so that she crashed on the tree.

The last Tier 3 snechu that survived the first attack unharmed tried to fight back only to be immediately locked in combat with two red-eyed snechus.

The three purple-eyed took off while their body emitted green light, they positioned themselves above the fleeing enemy, blocking her path toward the sky while the three remaining red-eyed snechus, Aven and Skaarl fired toward her volley after volley of attacks.

With the tree at her back, the sky blocked from the enemy, she could only desperately fight back and hope for a miracle.

'They said that unless we caused a commotion, the humans wouldn't send strong warriors! Why are those intruders so strong?!'. Those were her last thoughts before her death.

After the battle, Skaarl looked toward Aven.

"3 Tier 3 and one Tier 4… Do you want them all?"

Aven knew that he was exploiting Skaarl but he would obtain them anyway… 'There is no point for me to leave those juicy corpses to him… besides, I already exploited him until now, I don't see why I should stop now…'

"Of course, you can still take their fangs, you know?" He said with an innocent smile.

"I will leave the command to you then, brother." Skaarl said while thinking 'Now I can rest and watch the show from the sidelines…'

Aven walked near the four corpses on the ground with a smile on his lips while thinking. 'I should be able to summon a Tier 4'

( Death energy extraction!)

[ Death energy absorbed - 126 units, energy stored in the personal death domain - 127/15.

Efficiency increased for Snechu - Normal (15/100). ]

Aven couldn't control so much death energy for too much time,'I need to spend everything quickly!' He thought while deciding what to do…

'Summon Tier 4 snechu!'

[ 81 units of death energy spent, summoning in progress…]

A purple circle larger than those that he used before compared in front of him as part of his death energy moved toward it.

A 15 meters long snechu with 8 eyes and 2 pairs of wings appeared in front of him.

[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 46/15.]

'Expand the death domain four times'

[ Energy stored in the personal death domain - 6/19.]

'System, since you said that within the Necro library there is only the information that I gather from different creatures, can I create another type of undead without a corpse?'

[ User needs to reach the level 'High' of efficiency and build his Necro laboratory within the death domain. Do you wish to know more about the Necro laboratory?]

'Of course, tell me everything!' Aven replied immediately.

[ The Necro laboratory can be used to modify a type of summonable undead or create a new type entirely with the information gathered from multiple types of creatures.

Before utilizing the information from a type of creature, it is necessary to reach the level 'High' of efficiency.

The type of creature created within the laboratory can be summoned like those that are already within the Necro library.

Warning: User will need to build a body from outside the death domain in order to create a Higher undead of a new race and promote him above the rank of 'Soldier'. ]

'Rank 'Soldier'? What are you talking about?'

[ The undeads summoned through death energy without a body won't be able to grow and are called 'Lower undeads', and their strength will be locked at Tier 4.

The undeads summoned through corpses and death energy will be able to feel emotions and are called 'Higher undeads', they will be able to become stronger and raise their rank. ]

'Those undeads summoned by Skaarl aren't higher undeads, right?'

[ The system will help the confused user to classify the different kinds of undeads:

Red-eyed undeads - summoned through a corpse and the death energy within it - Mindless toys.

Purple-eyed undeads - summoned thought the death energy of the user - Lower undeads.

Blue-eyed undeads - summoned through a corpse and the death energy within it + death energy of the user - Higher undeads. ]

'Can I summon a higher undead?'

[ The control required to summon a higher undead is too high ]

'When will I be able to do it?'

[ Before trying to summon a higher undead user needs to learn how to cast Tier 5 spells.]

'Understood...I guess it will wait for a while…'

After some seconds where Aven thought about what the system said during their conversation...he realized something…

'Wait...Can I create in the Necro laboratory something similar to a human high necromancer and use this project on the corpse of a human to obtain another high necromancer like me?'

[ Yes ]
