Miazova clicked its tongue as it watched as Bikna was trampled by the White-haired Ghost Horsemen. It finally understood why Shu Yichao was so confident of conquering the Western Region within ten years.
His sea of skeletons was terrifying. It could even wear down a hero-class warrior and kill her.
I never thought that Shu Yichao could raise an undead calamity in this world⊠though I still donât understand how a human skeleton could crawl out of a dead chickenâs carcass.
âGrandson, canât you do it any faster?â Miazova asked Shu Yichao.
It had no idea how Shu Yichao was able to blatantly violate the laws of the world to raise the dead, but it knew that he had to quickly settle things. Otherwise, the consciousness of the world would quell the undead calamity when it finally noticed this anomaly.
âOf course!â Shu Yichao grinned. He tapped into his city construction interface. âI have already promised to carry you; you can leave it all to me!â
It just so happened that yet another building had finished construction.
âIâm finally able to summon specters!â
While he could slowly wear down a hero-class warrior with his sea of skeletons, this strategy might not be as effective against a hero-class mage. That was why he needed specters.
I conceded that your spells are formidable, but what are you going to do after my specters siphon away all your mana?
âHm?â Shu Yichao tapped into his profile. âDoes killing heroes give out that many experience points? I leveled up again.â
âIsnât the answer obvious?â
What else could be more useful than my âSoul Summoningâ talent here?
Shu Yichao unhesitatingly made his choice. âIâll upgrade an existing talent!â
Weng!
Shu Yichaoâs black silver armor emanated a brilliant glow. When the light finally faded, his armor looked even more imposing and majestic than before.

Description: An upgraded version of the White-haired Ghost Horsemen, they are your most loyal and stalwart army. As long as you donât blindly charge in on your own, they will ensure your safety until they return to the netherworld.
Shu Yichao was overjoyed to see the ghost horsemenâs upgrade. Their armor was much more resilient than before, and even their steeds were half-armored now.
âHow dashing! I wonder how theyâll look once I max Soul Summoning⊠Hehehe!â
Ghouls were useless in the earlier phase of the game, so Shu Yichao didnât bother constructing any of their buildings. Instead, he went straight to unlocking specters. However, it was fortunate that he could convert corpses into ghouls with his talent.
Ghouls were better at menial labor such as digging mines and chopping trees than skeletons, with their fleshed-out bodies.
You are mature ghouls. Itâs about time for you to earn your own upkeep!
âSpeaking of which,â Shu Yichao smacked his head, âI should test out the effectiveness of Soul Summoning.â
Krk krk!
An army of skeletons rose from the mud, filling the vast field. This included a pale-faced, blank-eyed Bikna too.
âWhat theâŠâ Miazova gasped.
Itâs getting more ridiculous. I saw that woman getting trampled into dust just a few minutes ago, but somehow she managed to rise from the ground as a zombieâŠ
âDamn it. What the hell is this? Reviving with full health?!â
ăHuh? My host, arenât you progressing too fast?!ă
System 12345 was at a loss for words.
It did think that its host would have many common topics with Bikna as fellow adventurers, but they still needed time to familiarize themselves and get to know each other. Then, it would take even more time before forging a âdeep bondâ.
YetâŠ
Bikna was conquered before it could even release the mission?
ăDamn, it feels like Iâm extraneous here.ă
Whatâs with this insane speed? Bikna is a hero-class warrior! Surely my host is being too brazen and wild by tackling down all the capture targets that appeared in his path? Itâs like he intends to conquer the world solely with his âHoly Swordâ!
System 12345 heaved a sigh. It eyed the data.
Shock, anger, hesitation, peace, and finally devotion. Biknaâs stamina was rapidly consumed in the process, and she was even knocked out for a brief momentâŠ
ăWAOOOOOO!!!ă
System 12345 felt like its CPU was going to hang.
My host, did you first corner Bikna, driving in that she has nowhere to run, before rapidly consuming her stamina, weakening her to the point where she fell limp, till the thought of resisting was rammed out of her mind?
ăMy host, I thought that you looked delicate, butâŠă
System 12345 recalled the glimpse it had seen of its host.
ăBut you are a total beast!ă
But who cares? My host wins the capture targetsâ hearts, the capture targets find the love of their lives, and I will get a good score for my internship. Itâs a win-win-win situation!
Thatâs called think win-win-win!
ăLet me see what rewards I can give my host this timeâŠă
