Chapter 32: Demon Corpse

This was a serious problem. York was pressed for time. Be it attracting monsters or assisting him in battle, he needed a large number of undead minions.

If he could not replenish his forces, it would undoubtedly affect his mission progress.

With that in mind, York looked at the dozen Evil Spirits bound by spears.

York had expected this situation. He had deliberately left them around.

At this moment, he walked forward and pressed his hand against the black clothes of the Evil Spirits.

Magic power poured into them like a stream. The process of becoming a minion was very smooth.

“You have gained control of the Evil Spirit.”

“You enslaved an Evil Spirit.”

“You can name it.”

…

Soon, more than a dozen Evil Spirits were recruited by York with the skill [Undead Enslavement].

The number of undead that York could enslave increased with his strength.

Right now, the total number at any one time could not exceed a hundred.

Of course, the difficulty of enslaving undead creatures of different strengths varied. He could not control undead that were stronger than him.

With the addition of these dozen Evil Spirits, York had enslaved 57 undead creatures, almost reaching his limit.

After giving these Evil Spirits their respective names, York did not stop at all. He continued leading his subordinates to search for prey in the boneyard.

At the same time, his mission progress continued.

“You have harvested the soul of a fallen bird.”

“Received 80 points of Soul Strength.”

“You have reaped the soul of a gluttonous snake.”

“Received 100 points of Soul Strength.”

Current Mission Progress: 213,741 / 1,000,000

…

While killing the monsters, York did not forget to replenish his forces.

This was a very strange situation. If there were too few minions, it would slow down the farming process.

However, if he constantly subdued the minions, he would also slow down the mission progress significantly.

There had to be a subtle balance between replenishment of forces and expenditure.

Fortunately, so far, York had balanced it well.

“Ding… You have killed a stitched demon.”

“You have received 2,000 experience points.”

“You extracted the stitched demon’s soul.”

“Received 150 points of Soul Strength.”

Current Mission Progress: 347,281 / 1,000,000

Mission Remaining Time: 25 hours 16 minutes.

Glancing at the mission progress again, York’s heart skipped a beat. It was almost halfway through.

However, his mission progress had only reached one third.

“Damn it! Can I make it in time?”

York wanted to curse. This damned mission gave too little time!

Was it really possible to complete this mission?

While feeling anxious, York could only farm more monsters.

No matter the result, he had to do his best. As for the outcome, he did not want to waste time thinking about it.

“Your minion [No. 41] has been killed.”

“Your minion [No. 27] has been killed.”

“Your minion…”

…

A series of system notifications refreshed more than ten times. York’s heart skipped a beat.

It was not uncommon for minions to be killed, but it was rare for so many to die at once.

The current minions of York were generally above Level 45. Even if they encountered monsters around Level 50, more than ten minions should be able to fight together and survive.

But now, they were all dead.

This was not a good thing. What York lacked the most were minions and time.

Not daring to delay, York quickly used his authority as a Dominator to connect with the gaze of one of the Skeleton Knights.

The moment his vision connected, through his scarlet gaze, York instantly noticed the huge creature that was like a mountain peak hundreds of meters away.

It was like a pile of bones and flesh that was prostrating on the ground. Its entire body was filled with hideous bones, and huge bone spears or skeleton arms kept protruding from the pile of bones. There were many ways to attack, and it was impossible to guard against.

“This is a Demon Corpse!”

As he exclaimed, an information panel appeared in front of him.

[Demon Corpse] (Boss)

[Race]: Undead

[Level]: 53

[Status]: Health Points 3000, Magic Power 2500

[Attributes]: Constitution 217, Strength 208, Intelligence 211, Agility 198

[Talent]: Bone Enhancement

[Skills]: Corpse Explosion, Bone Assault, Bone Reassembling, Bone Spike Storm

“A Level 53 Boss monster!”

York’s eyes widened. He did not expect such a monster to exist in the boneyard.

After a moment of surprise, York rushed to the location of the Demon Corpse.

‘I don’t care what level of monster you are. You have to pay the price for killing my minions.’

Moreover, York was in need of souls, so there was no reason for him to reject the offer.

“I wonder what soul strength this Level 53 Demon Corpse has.”

“I can also use the [Devour] talent to absorb the bone essence. It’s a huge gain.”

With that in mind, York held Frostmourne and could not help but advance quickly..
