Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　As a demigod-level necromancer who has undergone four leaps in life level, Moros's wisdom is sufficient to discern the deeper reasons behind the abnormal behavior of the Fire-Chasing Moth.

　As for the Honkai weapons that were used as tools of war in human civil wars, he wasn't really interested in them.

　On one hand, necromancers possess all the knowledge reserves of the Necropolis faction.

　That's the profound foundation accumulated by a faction that once held a dominant position in the high-magic world.

　Given enough time, he believed he could develop a far superior alternative to these Honkai weapons.

　On the other hand, Moros was well aware of the existence of the Cocoon of the End.

　He did not intend to devote too much energy to the path of Honkai energy until he had solved the Cocoon of the End, or at least possessed the power to contend with it.

　Therefore, after instructing Congressman William to remain on the case but not to make any statements, the necromancer severed his magical communication with him and returned to his research on the legendary spell [Legion's Protection].

　Previously, due to the sudden arrival of the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, he had to temporarily suspend this significant research.

　Now that the situation has stabilized, Moros understands that it's time to fully master this legendary spell that can greatly enhance self-defense capabilities.

　The difficulty of mastering the spell 【Legion's Protection】is among the highest even for legendary spells, far surpassing that of the legendary spell 【Doomsday Judgment】.

　However, for a demigod-level necromancer, this level of challenge could not stop his progress.

　He spared no expense in investing massive amounts of magical resources, and with unparalleled patience and perseverance, he gradually advanced the research progress of [Legion's Protection].

　In the world of magical research, the passage of time is actually very difficult to perceive.

　In the necromancy laboratory of the Level 5 Magic Guild, the light of the magic lamps dispelled the darkness, intertwining with the radiance of the magic circle to create a scene full of mystery.

　The painting reflected on the necromancer's focused and resolute face gave him an otherworldly air.

　Under the skillful manipulation of this demigod-level spellcaster, a force of force, barely perceptible to the naked eye, quietly surged forth. It condensed into a pair of invisible hands, moving freely through the abdominal cavity of the vampire count on the dissection table.

　Through these two positions, Moros was able to delve deeper into the mysteries hidden within this level four undead unit.

　This organ is used to pump blood...

　With a thirst for knowledge and a pursuit of power in his eyes, the necromancer meticulously recorded his discoveries in a new spellbook.

　This is also an essential step in magical research.

　In the world of Ashan, every spellcaster has the habit of keeping a spellbook.

　Unfortunately, the exploration of magic is a long and arduous journey.

　Whenever spellcasters make a new discovery or achieve a breakthrough in their research, they record these valuable results as precious treasures in their spellbooks.

　After all, even spellcasters cannot guarantee that they can recall those flashes of inspiration at any time.

Chapter 293 Half a Year and Level 35

　Time slips away silently, and three months have passed like sand slipping through our fingers.

　During this period, Moros delved into the undead soldiers, meticulously observing and studying everything from their intricate skeletal structures to the subtle flow of magical energy within them.

　After countless trials, refinements, and revisions, Moros finally elevated his Necromancy to the level of High Legendary.

　At this point, he was only one step away from fully mastering the legendary spell [Legion's Protection].

　For a demigod-level undead

　For wizards, this final step is nothing more than the accumulation of time and resources.

　Clearly, neither of these is a problem for Moros.

　To date, the land under the rule of necromancers exceeds 1000 million square kilometers.

　On this planet, only two nations can surpass him in terms of the vastness of their territory.

　Although the military industry no longer exists on this vast land, apart from the comprehensive research and manufacturing base gifted to Vilvi, it is no longer present.

　Even so, with nearly 3 million people living in the region, the annual tax revenue collected by Morlos is still an astonishing astronomical figure.

　Even after paying for research expenses provided to Velvie and Mebius, recruiting troop slots in the troop nests, daily magical research expenses, and the purchase of various war machines, the remaining funds were still an astonishingly large amount.

　With such enormous wealth, if invested in improving people's livelihoods, he would be fully capable of enabling every commoner under his rule to live a life comparable to or even better than that of citizens in Western European countries.

　However, Moros obviously wouldn't do that.

　As a legitimate necromancer, he didn't treat those commoners as raw materials for creating inferior soul crystals, which was already a favor given that they were able to pay taxes.

　How could he possibly be willing to use this wealth to improve the lives of ordinary people?

　In Moros's view, the wisest choice is to exchange this wealth for tangible magical materials through the [Market] and [Treasure Merchant] to support his pursuit of a more profound path of magic.

　As it turns out, his choice was absolutely correct.

　Without the magical materials obtained through this enormous tax revenue, Moros would never have been able to advance to the demigod level in just twenty years.

　Even with the support of the Necropolis faction's magic knowledge stored in the Magic Guild and the hero panel, this is still the case.

　As for the time required to learn [Legion's Protection], the necromancer was not anxious.

　After all, it has only been a little over three months since the fall of the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death.

　In this world where the Honkai Trial progresses much slower than in the original world, the arrival of the Seventh Great Honkai is clearly still a long way off.

　As long as there is no major collapse, given his infamous reputation in human society, those powerful figures at the top of the human society pyramid will not provoke him before the completion of the [Underwater City - Abyss City] and the [Lunar City - Neo-Atlante].

　The reputation of necromancers is forged on countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

　From the ruthless slaughter of the UN forces during the Secret Wars, to the glorious achievement of annihilating the Herrscher of Wind during the Fourth Honkai Impact, to the recent deaths of twenty top nobles under strict protection due to the curse, and the latest feat of ending the Sixth Honkai Impact and annihilating the Herrscher of Death, all these fully demonstrate his power.

　Those powerful and influential people who stand at the top of human society and control the overall situation naturally possess sufficient wisdom and judgment.

　Without absolute certainty, they would never easily break the fragile trust and delicate balance between the two sides and provoke a conflict with Morros.

　The unfolding events validated Moros's judgment.

　Until he truly mastered the legendary spell [Legion's Protection] and inscribed it into his spellbook, those carnivores who manipulated the course of human society remained inactive.

　half year later.

　After consuming countless magical materials and spending two whole years, Moros finally succeeded in mastering the legendary spell called [Legion's Protection].

　It was at this moment that the experience gained from mastering this legendary spell allowed him to level up once again.

　This is not something to be surprised about.

　Although the experience required for advancement to the demigod rank increases significantly after reaching the Ashan system, the advancement level will be significantly higher.

　However, the long period of magical research that the necromancer had previously gained had far more than just a 1-point increase in the [Knowledge] attribute.

　During this period, he accumulated a large amount of experience points, which, combined with the rich experience gained from the advancement of [Necromantic Arts] to the High Legendary rank, as well as the experience gained from the battles he won when he annihilated the Herrscher of Death and her elite Honkai Beast legion, have all contributed to his current glory.

　The process of advancing from level 34 to level 35 was much smoother compared to the dramatic leap from the High Legendary rank to the Demigod rank.

　Therefore, Moros was able to remain conscious throughout the entire process.

　This allowed him to meticulously observe every step of his advancement using the hero panel.

　Admittedly, with his current level of magical skill, such observation is still like looking at flowers through a fog, hazy and difficult to fully understand its mysteries.

　However, compared to the past when even such vague observations were impossible, this is a significant leap and progress.

　More importantly, this observational behavior has an immeasurable positive impact on Moloss's future.

　The necromancer deeply understands that the ability to observe means the ability to gradually understand, and understanding is the prerequisite for control and intervention.

　For him, the ultimate goal is to break free from the constraints of the hero panel and step into the unknown realm above level 40.

　This observation will become a solid foundation for him to move towards this goal.

　Getting back to the main point, after reaching level 35, Moros opened his hero panel.

Chapter 294 Alicia's Birthday Party

　After achieving the advancement to level 35, Moros did not immediately devote himself to a new round of magical research projects.

　This is not because he was unable to endure the hardships and trials of magical research.

　In fact, he enjoys the process of clearly feeling the experience bar on the hero panel slowly increase every moment.

　Even if it's just a minor change, this immediate positive feedback is enough to support him to keep going.

　He was summoned from the abyss of magic entirely because of Alicia's magical communication.

　The pink fairy's invitation was like a spell to charm humans; with just one sentence, the necromancer put down the magic book he was studying and left the magic guild where he had lived for months.

　"Moros, Eden is preparing a birthday party for me. Would you like to attend?"

　Faced with Alicia's sincere invitation, Moros's heart answered without hesitation.

　And no matter how you think about it, there will only be one answer.

　And so, when the appointed time quietly arrived, the necromancer, clad in the [Emblem of Sa Issus] set, opened a remote portal to the [Golden Courtyard].

　Unlike the grand social ball of the past, this birthday party that Eden prepared for Alicia was a small and exquisite private gathering.

　Although all those invited to the banquet were Alicia's close friends, Eden's dedication and meticulousness in preparing the banquet far surpassed that of past social balls.

　This is not surprising.

　Considering the deep bond between Eden and Alicia.

　In the singer's heart, this birthday party held especially for Miss Pink Fairy was far more important than any formal banquet at any large social occasion before.

　This was something Moros had already deeply felt when he stepped into the meticulously arranged courtyard.

　In the courtyard, colorful crystal chandeliers swayed and shone under the dome, emitting a soft and enchanting light, adding a touch of splendor to the entire banquet.

　In the center of the venue, a huge dining table was truly breathtaking.

　It was arranged like a work of art, with every detail revealing the designer's ingenuity and extraordinary taste.

　The table was laden with a dazzling array of food and wine, each dish exuding an enticing aroma that tantalized the taste buds of the guests and made their mouths water.

　The most eye-catching item was the huge multi-tiered pink cake placed in the center of the table, which Eden had specially commissioned for Alicia.

　Its sweet fragrance permeated the entire courtyard, and even the air seemed to be tinged with sweetness, making people feel intoxicated.

　Around the dining table, various decorations adorn the space, exquisite bouquets exude fragrance, and elegant collections of poems quietly narrate a poetic life.

　These carefully selected decorations created a romantic and warm atmosphere throughout the banquet, as if transporting people into a dreamlike fairytale world.

　In addition, gifts given to Alicia by the guests were neatly arranged in one corner of the dining table.

　A pink snake doll, a brown mechanical box, a crystal jewelry box...

　Each gift represents a sincere blessing and deep affection.

　Möbius, Vervière, Eden...

　Moros recognized the owners of each gift, and his heart was filled with emotion.
