[Your Champion Level Spirit Monster has successfully promoted to a Hero unit using the Undead Mage Certificate and has acquired the rare Profession: Death Curse Priest, officially renamed as: Evil Language·Spirit Monster.]
After observing that the opponent's ability to emit death energy stemmed from its potential limit, Qin Muye naturally used the Undead Mage Certificate on it right away. Being at the Champion Level really made a difference, allowing it to reclassify directly into the rare profession of Death Curse Priest—though it seemed that its attributes were somewhat skewed.
This is a war mage-type hero that specializes in negative states, and moreover, it's the Death Type of negative states.

"Hiss~" Qin Muye took a sharp breath. Although Evil Language had no Attack or Defensive Power, its Power was as high as 20 points at just level 1. Initially, Demon Blood was evenly distributed among Attack Power, Defensive Power, and Power—this was an extremely extreme hero indeed.
Whether in talents or skills, there is only one purpose, and that is to whittle the enemy down to death.
Not to mention anything else, just with the Curse Aura and Death Curse Aura taking effect, which rank 1 Soldier could withstand it?
Then, throw in the morale-lowering, Attack Power-reducing, Defense-weakening magic on top of that. Not to mention anything else, no matter how many troops come tomorrow, he could whittle them down to nothing.
"Good, good, good! I'll teach you the magic first."
Through Intermediate Knowledge, Qin Muye imparted all the magic to Talent, who had the skill Basic Understanding of Death, could temporarily serve as the main attacker by using Death System Magic Divine Arrow, and such high Power could make the Healing more effective.
He also conveniently managed to acquire his opponent's Death Despair, a Death System magic that lowers the enemy's morale.
After dealing with the magic, Qin Muye also equipped Talent with the Undead Robe, Skeleton Magic Wand, and the Basic Death Magic Book.
He planned for Talent to learn the Soul Summoning Technique, to help Qin Muye gather troops.
As someone inclined towards support, Talent definitely wouldn't lead troops alone but would let Demon Blood take the lead.
After all, Talent's little body was really too weak, even weaker than Qin Muye.
Because he himself was a large aggregation of the Power of Death and Curse Power, and he was not from the Undead Clan but a normal life form, his constitution was inevitably weakened, which was probably the aftermath of Death Energy Emission.
Talent feared beheading tactics even more than Qin Muye did, guessing that a single 6 Attack Power Skeleton Warrior could kill him with one blow.
Therefore, it was essential to equip him with basic treasures that increased Defense, or else he could only stand behind Qin Muye as a mascot, with Qin Muye having to protect him when necessary...
The once young and strong appearance had now become one with loose skin and a hunched body, looking like he was in his seventies or eighties.
"Thank you, Master. With these spells, you won't have to take action yourself during tomorrow's wild monster siege." Talent's voice was very hoarse, as if his throat had been burnt.
"There's no hurry for that. You should have had enough sleep by now. Just in time, I'll teach you the 'Corpse Bone Curse,' and later you can try to train your own Spirit Monster Troop just like Demon Blood."
Qin Muye knew that this was just the beginning. With Talent, he now had a mage troop.
For now, Talent's normal attack involved launching a magic ball infused with death and curse towards the enemy. How to say it, the current effect is not bad, able to reduce the opponent's 1 Attack Power and 1 Defense Power, and cause Death Type magic damage, able to stack up to 10 layers, with potential for growth.
But the speed of the magic ball is another story, it's just too slow, so Qin Muye also needed to figure out a solution, otherwise the trained troops would likely be a smaller version of Talent.
For example, increasing the speed of the magic ball, transforming it from a ball into a beam, or firing multiple magic balls at once to change from a single target attack to an area attack, and so on.
All these needed to focus on the 'Corpse Bone Curse.' Plus, his 67 Knowledge points hadn't been invested yet, so he had to hurry up with these matters. After all, today was the 5th wave, the attacking wild monsters would definitely be stronger, hero units were certain to appear, and the monsters were definitely fully armed.
[You are explaining skills to Evil Language·Spirit Monster...]
During the explanation, Qin Muye also passed the Basic Magic Power skill book to Talent, who precisely needed this skill. After learning it, it would save a selection opportunity.
In Qin Muye's eyes, this was an essential skill, capable of increasing magic damage, especially since Talent primarily increased Power, currently only by 5%, but it was no small amount for Talent.
The Death System Magic Divine Arrow had its power increased under the enhancement of Basic Understanding of Death, dealing (20×11) + 20, which was 240 points of Death magic damage, and more importantly, it only cost 4 Magic Power Value.
Even if it was Demon Blood, his Magic Divine Arrow damage was just at (35×10) + 10, which was 360 points of magic damage, but the problem was Demon Blood was level 7, while Talent was only level 1, and Talent at level 1 gained 10 points of Power, with an extreme focus on Power points, not adding to Attack Power, Defense, or Knowledge at all. After level 2, Talent's damage from Death System Magic Divine Arrow would surpass Demon Blood's.
This, however, was quite normal. There are differences between the Magic System profession and the Warrior System profession. Demon Blood could be considered a balanced battle hero, not only capable of melee combat but also able to buff himself and debuff enemies.
Qin Muye was confident about Demon Blood going out alone to clear areas, but not Talent, who must have sufficient protection, and without Attack Power and Defense, the amplification for his troops was significantly less, so he could only serve as support.
Attack Power and Defense are crucial for leading troops, after all, this is 'Lord Era,' not 'Magic Era,' where magic is just a support.
