CHAPTER 758: MONSTER

———[Create the Undead].

This was a third-tier necromancy spell that could use corpses as a medium to generate or create undead, making the undead serve the caster.

Once, in the world of the Overlord, a Magic Singer named Kajit used this spell in the graveyard of Ye Lantil to create precisely one hundred and fifty undead and controlled the legion formed by these undead using a magical artifact known as the Death’s Treasure Bead.

Today, Reiger had also used this spell and with techniques that strengthened magic, he had elevated this originally third-tier spell to the highest tenth tier in one breath.

"Clang!"

In an instant, a magic array unfolded at the bottom of the stone coffin.

This magic array, unlike the previous "Wish Upon a Star," had a flat structure instead of a three-dimensional multi-layer structure, and appeared quite ordinary on the ground.

However, when this magic array appeared, a shocking torrent of negative energy burst forth from Queen Yululi’s body, even dyeing the entire magic array a bright red color.

"Not good!"

Reiger’s expression slightly changed, and he promptly picked up the unresponsive Liz, then teleported away from the altar in an instant.

The negative energy harmful to the living rapidly expanded to cover the entire altar, causing a slight tremble.

"What, what’s happening? Master!"

Liz finally reacted and asked in panic.

Reiger did not respond, but just gazed solemnly toward the direction of the altar.

There, the eruption of negative energy seemed endless, like a portal to hell had opened, creating a volcanic eruption-like spectacle.

Realizing this, how could Reiger not understand?

"It seems I’ve overdone it..."

[Create the Undead]was a third-tier necromancy spell, belonging to a lower level of magic, and it was never supposed to create such a spectacle and momentum.

The undead created with this spell would not be high-grade either; they would be the lowest tier of undead like skeletons or zombies at best, with maybe a ghoul or revenant appearing unless the corpse used as the medium was of high quality, which could possibly give birth to higher-tier undead.

Of course, Reiger did not want the queen of the heroic clan to turn into an unsightly zombie, which is why he elevated the tier of [Create the Undead] to the highest level, hoping to create high-tier undead.

Now, it seemed that the Queen’s corpse and soul had become quite a high-grade medium, to the extent that the elevated [Create the Undead] seemed to have created a monster.

Reiger’s eyes shimmered with a transparent luster as he stared intently at the center of the erupting negative energy.

There, the erupting negative energy had turned into a storm, revolving around the stone coffin and continually pouring into the young girl’s body.

The girl who had been lying in the stone coffin now opened her eyes, her pupils flashing red light and turning blood-red.

In that instant, Reiger could clearly feel an invisible connection being established between him and the being in the coffin.

It was the connection between the creator and the created.

Through this connection, the creator could control the created, which was the very purpose of the magic class like [Create the Undead] – to produce undead to be utilized by the caster.

But this control was not absolute.

Just like Kajit, who needed the Death’s Treasure Bead to assist him in controlling more than one hundred and fifty undead, a caster’s ability to control the undead was limited, and the strength of the undead they could control was also limited.

You couldn’t expect a necromancer Chanters of less than level 10 to perfectly control a highest-tier undead of level 100, could you?

Similarly, without skills or artifacts to assist, when the power or number of controlled undead exceeds the controller’s capacity, that control becomes unstable and may even fail entirely.

Now, Reiger found himself in such a state.

He was shocked to find that his control over the undead he had just created was extremely unstable.

That is to say, the undead currently being born, in their power, was subtly exceeding the control range that Reiger could handle.

Reiger had indeed created a monster.

A monster that not even a person, who was Lv.7 and had acquired abilities like "Magic Guide" and "Magic Chant," wearing Morgan’s ring and whose latent "Magic Power" parameter at each level reached the SSS grade, could completely control.

"————"

In the tomb, the storm of negative energy had stopped unknowingly.

Yet, in the silent tomb, the air became incredibly heavy, so heavy that Reiger couldn’t help but tense up his face, and Liz felt as if she was unable to breathe.

"Snap..."

In a faint sound, a jade-like flawless white hand stretched out from the stone coffin and rested on its edge, slowly lifting the girl’s body up.

Her appearance unchanged, or rather, she seemed even more enchanting and beautiful than when she had died, the queen rose from the stone coffin, turning her ruby-red eyes toward Reiger and Liz.

In the instant their gazes met those ruby-like, beautiful eyes, Reiger and Liz seemed to be hypnotized, their pupils suddenly dilating.

The next second, disregarding Liz for now, Reiger instantly came back to his senses, his expression drastically changing.

Charming...!"

More precisely, it was the Charming Demon Eye, one of the special abilities of a vampire, capable of dominating another’s mind.

Its appearance told Reiger one thing.

"Queen Yuloli Reinnaier has become a vampire!"

And moreover, a vampire of a very high rank!

For someone like Reiger, who was immune to mind interference, to be dazed for a second indicated that this level of Charming Demon Eye was incomparable even to a True Ancestor vampire like Shalltear Bloodfallen!

Just when Reiger was certain of this, suddenly, he found that the vampire girl had disappeared from the sarcophagus.

"...!"

Without any hesitation, Reiger, holding Liz who had fallen into a daze, flashed to the side.

In his urgency, Reiger even used the Techniques of Day’s Breath and the explosive skill of Thunder’s Breath, causing flames to burst from underneath him and turn into a streak of fire, moving away with astonishing speed.

But a figure, ghost-like, silently caught up with him, and appeared in front of him.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, blood splattered.

"Ugh...!"

Reiger grunted, and his whole body recoiled as if struck by lightning.

He didn’t know when he had raised one hand to shield his face, but it was already torn and lacerated.

"So fast...!"

Reiger’s expression changed again and again, finally sinking completely.

He had been wounded in the blink of an eye.

Wounded by the vampire girl who had approached like a shadow, silently and invisibly.

The vampire girl re-materialized in front of Reiger, her pale white hand smeared with fresh blood.

That was Reiger’s blood.

The girl, with her crimson eyes, tilted her head, seemingly puzzled as she looked at Reiger’s blood on her hand.

Then, the girl actually extended her tender little tongue and licked her fingernails, cleaning the fresh blood from her sharp nails.

At this lick, the girl’s ruby-like beautiful eyes suddenly shone brightly, and the way she looked at Reiger changed.

It was the look of gazing upon delicious food.

It was the look of gazing upon a beloved object.

Seeing that look, Reiger knew that he had become prey in her eyes.

Then, the girl disappeared again, silently, without trace, chilling one’s heart.

"Stop!"

Reiger’s pupils constricted, and he shouted loudly.

"————"

A figure instantly appeared in front of Reiger, frozen in place, her dainty hand unknowingly reaching towards Reiger, stopping in front of his heart.

Just now, had Reiger spoken a fraction of a second later, that hand would have pierced his chest, ripped out his heart, and blood would have gushed from the cavity in his chest.

"?"

The vampire girl, frozen there, blinked in surprise, wondering why she had involuntarily stopped when Reiger said stop.

"Snap!"

Taking advantage of the moment, Reiger sprang back like a spring, creating distance from the vampire girl.

Seeing this, the confusion in the vampire girl’s eyes was temporarily suppressed; her figure returned to normal, apparently preparing to continue attacking Reiger.

"Don’t move!"

Reiger immediately commanded, causing the girl’s figure to pause again.

This pause lasted less than a second.

But it was precisely this second that made the vampire girl, once again acting involuntarily, feel puzzled anew. She tilted her head, utterly baffled.

Clearly, the girl had no idea why she was obeying the commands of the man in front of her.

Though it lasted less than a second, she had indeed involuntarily obeyed him, obeyed the instructions of this human who seemed so delectable.

The newly born vampire girl had no idea that she had been born because of the man in front of her.

As her creator, even if only for a moment, her control was in the hands of the creator before her.

"Stay there and don’t move, do you hear me?"

Reiger commanded coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

He was trying his best to control the girl, trying to make the inherently unstable domination stable.

The vampire girl, although puzzled and not fully understanding, did not resist Reiger’s control too strongly.

Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps due to an inexplicable feeling, the girl stopped there and did not move, her ruby-like eyes fixed on Reiger.

"Huff..."

Reiger immediately exhaled.

So, what to do next?

Reiger began to feel a headache.
