Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　"Looks like we're in luck."

　Just as Eden was looking around at her surroundings, Moros's voice rang in her ears.

　Perhaps because of Alicia and Eden's presence, they were incredibly lucky this time to encounter the highest difficulty test in the [Crypt].

　For revisitable wilderness treasure troves like the [Crypt], danger and reward are directly equated.

　Since it is the most difficult test, the rewards they will receive after clearing out the enemies in the space will naturally be of the highest level.

　"How should I put it, how should I put it~"

　Miss Pink Fairy pressed on with curiosity, her face beaming with excitement and anticipation.

　Eden looked at her, a warm feeling welling up inside him, and a smile appeared on his face.

　"Upon passing this level of test, we will receive 5000 gold coins and a basic treasure..."

　Moros patiently explained, but before he could finish speaking, the sound of bats flapping their wings suddenly came from afar.

　Following the sound, Moros and Alicia saw a dense swarm of bats and other undead guards following closely behind.

　Although Eden possessed the most outstanding artistic talent of the previous civilization, as an ordinary person, her field of vision was far inferior to that of Moros and Alicia, making it impossible for her to see distant enemies clearly.

　However, she did not panic. Instead, she stood quietly behind Moros and Alicia, calmly watching the impending battle.

　Eden believed that her two closest friends would build an unbreakable barrier for her.

　150 units of Vampire Earls, 600 units of Wraiths, and a total of over 2000 Skeleton Soldiers and Plague Zombies.

　As a necromancer who has mastered expert-level [Necromantic Arts], Moros's research on the undead is quite thorough.

　With just a glance, he accurately identified the detailed composition of the undead guards rushing towards them.

　"Ellie, it's our turn!"

　While talking to Alicia, Moros unleashed the level three destructive spell, [Winter Ice Ring], which he had prepared beforehand, at the onrushing vampire counts.

　In an instant, a biting cold wind swept across the entire cave battlefield.

　In the biting cold wind, a magnificent ice flower bloomed in the center of a dark swarm of bats.

　With Moros's current magical power, the power of his battle spells is extremely astonishing.

　With just one [Winter Ice Ring], more than half of the vampire counts were wiped out.

　Seeing that Moros had launched the first attack, Alicia, not to be outdone, raised her beautifully decorated bow and arrow.

　She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a charming smile.

　Please accept this bouquet of flowers with gratitude.

　As the pink fairy's soft and melodious voice faded, a massive "magic energy" crystal barrier instantly enveloped most of the cave battlefield.

　The barrier shimmered with dazzling light, as if placing the entire battlefield into a magical world.

　However, as a legendary necromancer, Moros did not detect the slightest magical fluctuation from this barrier.

　On the contrary, he keenly sensed that the Honkai energy contained within was reacting unusually violently.

　Immediately afterwards, the arrow in Alicia's hand shot into the air like a meteor.

　Under the influence of the "magic energy" crystal barrier, the arrow instantly split and reflected countless beams of light, like a dazzling rain of light falling down.

　Each arrow contained powerful magic, piercing through the ranks of the undead guards at astonishing speed, causing devastating damage.

Chapter 91: The Demiplane Journey Ends

　Alicia's magnificent attack not only caught the attention of Moros, who was proficient in various battle spells, but also shocked Eden, who had never witnessed her truly unleash her power.

　The dazzling rain of arrows of light and the undead guards being swiftly annihilated under its barrage seemed to speak of the pink fairy's boundless charm and unfathomable power.

　"Looks like I have to work harder too!"

　Moros sighed, then gathered his magic power again and cast a new battle spell.

　Level One Dark Magic: [Delay Spell]!

　As the obscure shadows swept across the cave battlefield, from the previous two rounds of attacks...

　Hitting the undead guards who had managed to survive was like being bound by invisible chains, and their charging speed suddenly decreased.

　While dark magic does have many disadvantages against undead, elemental, and mechanical units, this does not mean that this powerful magical faction is incapable of having a significant impact on these three types of enemies.

　In Moros's hands, the dark magic of "Delay Spell" perfectly exemplifies this point.

　"A cute, girlish heart can do anything!"

　Accompanied by Alicia's sweet and confident words, she once again gracefully drew her bow and shot arrows imbued with Honkai energy at the undead guards.

　Of course, according to Miss Pink Fairy herself, these are all fairy magic arrows.

　If it weren't for Moros's keen senses as a legendary necromancer telling him that the arrows were entirely filled with Honkai energy and contained not a trace of magic, he would have truly been deceived by Alicia's confident demeanor.

　Alicia has always treated others with her true self, never hiding her feelings and thoughts.

　Although she often reveals her persistence and dedication in some unique and unexpected ways, and sometimes her way of speaking can be a little confusing and lead to some misunderstandings.

　But in Moros's eyes, none of this could overshadow her pure sincerity and deeply endearing charm.

　Getting back to the main point, the fierce, almost competitive attacks by Moros and Alicia caused the number of undead guards in the [Crypt] to decrease at an alarming rate.

　When the last skeleton soldier fell to Alicia's precise Honkai energy arrows, only ten minutes had passed since the battle began.

　At that very moment of victory, the ambient light around the three of them suddenly underwent another strange change.

　A familiar dizziness washed over them, and as space twisted and spun, Morros, Alicia, and Eden were teleported back to the forest they had been in before.

　As they gradually recovered from the dizziness of the teleportation, they were greeted by the familiar entrance to the [Crypt] and a huge treasure chest placed at the entrance.

　Instead of rushing to open the treasure chest, Moros turned to Alicia and Eden with a smile and asked about their adventure.

　"So, how was your adventure?"

　"Fantastic!"

　Alicia blinked her big, watery eyes, her face full of excitement and satisfaction.

　"This adventure felt like stepping into a fairy tale; it was such a wonderful feeling!"

　"Indeed, this experience was truly unforgettable."

　Eden nodded in agreement.

　"Moros's magic and Ellie's archery skills have both broadened my horizons."

　Hearing Eden's praise, Moros's smile deepened.

　"I'm glad you like it. Now, let's reveal what treasures are hidden in this chest."

　As he spoke, he gracefully extended his hand to Alicia and Eden, making an inviting gesture, as if a gentleman were inviting two ladies to dance.

　Alicia and Eden exchanged a smile, then stepped forward and stood side by side with Moros in front of the treasure chest.

　The three of them worked together to slowly open the treasure chest. As the lid opened, a dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

　As the light gradually faded, the treasure inside the chest finally revealed its true form.

　Inside the treasure chest, magical gold coins from the world of Ashan were piled up like mountains, gleaming with an alluring light.

　In addition, a meticulously crafted Level 1 Magic Scroll lies quietly within.

　"Wow! Is this what it feels like to open a treasure chest? This is so much fun!"

　Alicia's eyes lit up with excitement. She carefully picked up the [Level 1 Magic Scroll] and handed it to Moros.

　"Moros, look at this, what is it?"

　"This is a Level 1 Magic Scroll. The holder of it can cast the spells recorded within..."

　Moros took the scroll and quickly identified the true nature of the battle spells recorded within.

　He then smiled and handed the basic treasure to Alicia and Eden.

　"The battle spell recorded in this [Level 1 Magic Scroll] is a Level 1 Light Magic called [Haste], which can grant the recipient a speed boost..."

　After explaining the effects of the level one Light Magic [Swift Action] in detail, Moros continued.

　"This magic scroll now belongs to you, and I believe it can help you."

　Alicia took the scroll, her happy and satisfied smile blooming as brightly as the spring sunshine.

　"Is this a gift from you? I'm really happy with it!"

　Then, she playfully slipped the scroll into Eden's hands, as if she were passing on a heartwarming gift.

　Clearly, in Miss Pink Fairy's opinion, Eden needs this gift more than she does.

　Eden did not refuse, but accepted this heartfelt gift with a smile.

　She deeply realized that this was not just one

　This gift is also a testament to Alicia and Morros's deep trust and expectations for her.

　This deep affection was more precious to her than any treasure.

　Once the ownership of the most valuable scroll was decided, the distribution of the chest full of 5000 Ashan gold coins became much simpler.

　With a simple wave of his staff, Moros divided the gold coins into three piles.

　"These gold coins can be divided equally among the three of us."

　As he spoke, Moros once again swung his staff, the head of which was engraved with a pure gold dragon.

　As he waved his staff, the power of magic was quietly released, and the three piles of gold coins flew steadily to Alicia, Eden, and Moros in front of them.

　Looking at the pile of gold coins in front of them, Alicia and Eden couldn't help but show a slightly troubled expression. Obviously, they didn't know how to carry so many gold coins.

　Moros keenly sensed their doubts, and with a smile, he took out two exquisitely crafted storage bags from the robe of Saisus.

　"This is a [storage bag]."

　Moros patiently explained the characteristics and usage of the [Storage Bag] in a gentle tone.

　"It can hold a lot of items, and it's lightweight and easy to carry. You can put gold coins in the bag without any inconvenience."

　Alicia and Eden accepted the storage bag, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashing in their eyes.

　This kind of thoughtful care clearly pleased them greatly.

Chapter 92 Magical Experiments (Part 1)

　After sending Alicia and Eden back to their residence in Osaka, Moros returned to the Magic Guild.

　He knew very well that in this era when the flame of civilization would eventually be extinguished, only great power could protect everything he cherished.

　To prevent the tragedy from repeating itself, Moros must ensure that his power is always "sufficient" in critical moments.

　This is obviously a very difficult thing.

　Judging from his current strength, it is far from "enough".

　While Herrscher-level strength may seem formidable, its effectiveness in crucial moments is debatable.

　Therefore, in order to continue the happy times of the past and to protect everything he cherishes, Moros needs to constantly improve his strength.

　It was precisely because of this clear understanding that Moros was able to overcome his inner inertia and truly embark on the path to becoming a genuine legendary spellcaster.

　So he pushed open the door to the necromancy laboratory again and continued the magical experiment that was halfway through.

　Thanks to the diligent work of the skeleton servants, the laboratory has been completely renovated and is so clean that it looks like it has never been used.

　The remains and fragments left behind from the necromancer's last magical experiment have disappeared, replaced by neatly arranged magical materials and experimental subjects.

　In this clean and orderly environment, Moros's mind was exceptionally focused.

　"Lie down!"

　At his command, the adult male prisoner, manipulated by the Puppet Master, lay silently on the cold experimental table.

　The cooperation with the powerful figures in Fuyuan City brought Moros abundant resources.

　Among these resources are experimental subjects from prisons for serious offenders.

　As a necromancer, Moros's magical experiments naturally required the use of test subjects.

　This magical experiment is just one aspect of these studies.

　Once the test subject lay down obediently, Moros didn't say anything more. He swiftly and decisively plunged a bone dagger into the subject's heart.
