Keaton could easily tell that these mutants were of the lowest level. They were weak and only knew how to kill and vent.
If one had to compare, the combat power of these demons could only be slightly stronger than that of the Centaur Lady.
"Skeleton Soldiers, kill these wild ghosts."
With a command, Keaton's two skeleton soldiers rushed out from behind the hill and slashed at the demons.
The Centaur Lady continued standing next to Kedan, throwing down spells of blessing or curse.
The steel blades sliced through the air, and the demons howled in anguish. However, no matter how much they resisted, they were unable to inflict any damage on the skeleton soldiers.
After a few rounds, Keaton's Skeleton Soldiers had completely destroyed the demons that were roaming around the hollow..

[Ding! Detected soul energy, soul fragment collection system activated. Host can obtain soul fragments by killing the demons. Every 100 Rank 1 soul fragments will be equivalent to one system point!]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 1 soul fragment.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 1 soul fragment.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 1 soul fragment.]
...
The system notifications kept ringing in Keaton's mind, making him ecstatic.
The eight low-level demons gave him eight soul fragments, which was equivalent to 8% of the system points.
This was akin to a gift, since Keaton knew how difficult it was to obtain system points.
Now that he finally had a way to quickly obtain system points, how could Keaton not be happy?
After thinking for a while, Keaton managed to calculate the exchange rate between soul fragments and system points.
The higher the Rank of the demon, the more system points its soul fragment could be exchanged for. Although he wasn't sure of the ratio, Keaton was still very satisfied.
With his current strength, it was still very easy for him to eliminate a whole team of Rank 3s.
As long as he was given time, he would be able to summon more Skeleton Soldiers. Even without a new Summoning Creature Template, the power he possessed was extremely terrifying.
It should be emphasized that Keaton did not require any mana to summon magical creatures. In this aspect, he had already surpassed 100% of the world's summoners.
"Although the soul fragments of a Rank 1 demon aren't very valuable, it's better than nothing. Let's start from this area."
Keaton secretly made up his mind to eliminate all the demons below Rank 3 in this area.
Keaton rode on the Centaur Lady as she galloped swiftly down the road. Every time he met with a group of demons, he would summon his Skeleton Soldiers and annihilate them all
While the Skeleton Soldier were fighting, Keaton did not stay idle either.
After all, Kedan was in the end a Necromancer. The demons served as excellent material for his Necromancy.
Through the corpses of these demons, Keaton summoned a creature that was even stronger than a Skeleton Soldier —— a Ghoul!
Ghouls had extremely fast movement speeds and possessed super strong combat recovery abilities.
However, due to Keaton's limited mana, he could only maintain two Ghouls at the same time.
Just like that, Keaton led his six Skeleton Soldier and two Ghouls to sweep through the entire area.
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 1 soul fragment.]

...
Notifications from the system kept ringing in Kedan's mind. For two consecutive days, Keaton had taken down all the demons below Rank 3 in this area. The number of soul fragments he had also steadily increased.
Looking at the 1,000 soul fragments of various Ranks in the system backpack, Keaton was delighted.
Without hesitation, Keaton exchanged all the soul fragments to the System Shop's points. In total, he managed to exchange for 800 points.
Swish swish swish!
Another two Skeleton Soldiers in black armor appeared in front of him.
After upgrading to the first Skeleton Soldier, Kedan could now directly buy an upgraded Skeleton Soldier from the Merchant Shop.
Currently, he already had eight Rank 3 skeleton soldiers. Such battle prowess was enough to cause an even greater storm of blood in this area.
During the process of sweeping, Keaton's mana had also been greatly enhanced through the absorption of souls. Now, his magic power could support four ghouls.
"I'm unstoppable."
Keaton muttered to himself arrogantly before he continued his search for demons.
...
Roar!
It was another empty plot of land. Countless demons and evil spirits were roaring ferociously here. The surging fiendish aura coiled around them, making them look especially frightening.
At the center of this group of demons stood four Skeleton Soldiers in black armor.
Their master was standing on a high ground, staring coldly at the demons below.
Centaur Lady, I'll let the Ghouls and Skeleton Soldiers charge down together later. When the time comes, remember to buff them."
"Throw all four Berserk spells to the Ghouls, and don't bother about the rest. Leave your two remaining spells as reinforcements. Once a skeleton soldier is at a disadvantage, use the Berserk spell on him to increase his combat power."
Centaur Lady nodded slightly to her master's order.
Looking down at the swarm of demons in the wilderness, Keaton slashed down with his left hand. The Ghouls and Skeleton Soldiers rushed down together.
While waiting for four Ghouls and four Skeleton Soldiers to rush into the group of demons, Keaton, who was standing on the slope, took out a staff from his backpack.
He fiercely slammed the staff on the ground, and a huge black magic formation appeared beneath the demons.
This spell was called Caged Trap, and it was the most powerful AOE spell in Rank 3 Necromancy.
Once an enemy stepped into this trap, they would be imprisoned for three whole seconds.
With these three seconds, the pressure on Keaton's Skeleton Soldiers would be greatly reduced. They would also have time to clear out a portion of the enemies.
Swish swish swish.
With a flash of the blade, the eight Skeleton Soldiers raised their blades and chopped off the heads of the demons.
Keaton's Ghouls did not sit idle either. They charged forward and tore at the demons, devouring them as their own nourishment.
Three seconds later, Kedan's Cage Trap spell lost its effect.
The Skeleton Soldiers and Ghouls fell into a passive state of defense.
However, right at this moment, an twist of events occurred. Four streaks of red light descended from the sky. They were precisely the Berserk spell from the Centaur Lady.
Under the illumination of the four red lights, the four Ghouls grew to a height of 4.8 meters, and their movement speed turned extremely fast.
With a loud cry as though the Thunder God had descended, and four Ghouls with their eyes dyed red charged into the group of demons.
The bloodbath officially began!
