... (omitted)... She looked silently at the huge monster corpse in front of her.
The girl took out a grimoire whose cover emitted an eerie light and recited an ancient language toward the corpse. Along with the sound of the incantation, the girl's mana gradually became dark and cold. The monster's corpse was eroded by this mana and instantly turned into bleached white bones. A soul fire was ignited within the empty skull; the once-dead monster was now reborn under the girl's mana.
The reborn monster let out a massive howl.
The waves formed by soul power were as strong as if they were physical. The surrounding monsters all fell into a state of confusion and fear under this howl, and many were even directly knocked unconscious. This was a form of intimidation directed straight at the soul; the weak were simply not worthy of standing before this monster.
"Success?"
The girl cast an Appraisal on the monster.

What was originally just a Level 10+ Earth Dragon actually evolved directly into a Level 30 Bone Dragon after being strengthened by magic. Furthermore, it gained the Dragon's Aura skill. The combined effect of the Dragon's Aura and Soul Intimidation skills made this monster a battlefield slaughter machine. As long as it was allowed to let out a single roar on the battlefield, those with weak wills would instantly fall into a state of confusion and fear, while those with weak souls might even be stunned or killed by the shock.
Furthermore, this Bone Dragon possessed a resistance capability of up to 5,000 points, along with Magic Absorption and Anti-Magic skills. Low-level magic not only failed to deal any damage to it but would also be absorbed to restore its HP. Combined with the Infinite SP talent unique to the Undead race, this thing was terrifyingly powerful. If it weren't for the fact that the mana converted by Necromancy Magic made her feel very uncomfortable,
she would have been tempted to major in Necromancy Magic.
"...Necromancy Magic has been unlocked."
After she successfully summoned the Bone Dragon,
the System Goddess's voice came through somewhat reluctantly.
This was no illusion.
The girl truly felt that the voice sounded a bit forced.
However, she only glanced at the skill description and didn't continue further.
Because Necromancy Magic was too much of a trap; the skill costs required not only MP but also HP. Most detestably, some powerful branch skills actually required consuming the HP cap. It was even specifically noted that when the HP cap was entirely consumed by skill effects, one must have mastered the Undead Transformation skill, or else they would die. And mastering Undead Transformation meant reincarnating as an Undead.
What a joke.
She had no intention of becoming an Undead.
"Tsukasa." Eidor looked at the girl with some concern at this moment.
She was worried the girl would be seduced by the power of Necromancy Magic.
Tsukasa patted the skeletal head. The cold mana on the Bone Dragon's body gave her a stinging sensation. She sighed and said, "Don't worry. Although the power of Necromancy Magic indeed surprised me, I don't like this cold, lifeless feeling."
Moreover, when she used Necromancy Magic just now, the feeling was truly uncomfortable—more painful than 'that time,' a full-body pain. Her clothes were now soaked with cold sweat. She didn't want to repeat this operation anytime soon. For a living person, Necromancy Magic was a form of self-mutilation. She could finally understand why Necromancers were set as villains in many worlds.
Because this stuff really makes people go crazy easily.
The Bone Dragon lay down in front of the girl like a puppy, letting her stroke its large head. If it didn't look so ferocious and didn't have such an evil mana aura, it would have been a very heartwarming scene. However, this fellow was simply too majestic. She didn't know why the corpse of an Earth Dragon could summon a Bone Dragon of this size; it was completely unscientific.
"Hey, did you guys hear some kind of cry just now?"
A boy's voice came from the distance.
Tsukasa pulled up her hood, and Eidor immediately hid herself inside her coat. The Bone Dragon slowly stood up, its skeletal wings unfolding bit by bit. Cold mana spread through the air like a spiderweb. The boy outside suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but sneeze, muttering to himself, "Strange, why did it suddenly get so cold here?"
The Demon boy, wearing the uniform of the Demon Army, had just entered this passage when he felt something was off. He froze in place, his head lifting frame by frame like the second hand of a clock. In an instant, he saw a massive head staring down at him. Cold breaths puffed from the nostrils of that skeletal dragon head; he felt his hair was about to frost over at that moment.
What... is this?
The massive Bone Dragon stood in the passage, occupying his entire field of vision. That cold, white dragon emitted an ominous aura. An unknown mana, far more terrifying than dark mana, was eroding everything around it bit by bit. This monster was like an incarnation of a natural disaster; just standing there brought death to its surroundings. He could feel his HP and SP being constantly drained.
I can't take it... someone save me!
