The summoning method of the Undead Crystal has been altered.

Now, 30 units of all undead races will be summoned automatically per cycle with the possibility of summoning racial monarchs.

Existing monarchs will not be summoned.

This change does not affect the summoning of special units.

The final system message carried immense implications, instantly clarifying by US doubts.

A realization struck her.

So, it wasn't he that her luck had worsened in summoning racial monarchs, nor that these races lacked them.

It was simply that their monarchs were still alive.

Bayou grew increasingly convinced of this theory from the destroyers and ghouls, as well as the information had shared.

She already knew that the former undead empire had been nearly annihilated.

Though some races had evaded the purge and gone into hiding.

Now it seemed these undead races hadn't te escaped.

Their monarchs had.

A racial monarch could endlessly summon their subordinate units.

If the monarch fled, it meant the entire race had effectively vanished.

Consider it from Bayou's perspective.

If one day the city of the dead were to lose by you, the seven kings would undoubtedly engage in a fierce struggle amongst themselves.

As for those spirits without a sovereign leader, they would inevitably face complete annihilation.

Chapter 357.

This is indeed a fitting reward.

What truly transpired in the days of the undead empire? Bayou suspected that there lay hidden secrets within.

The previous lord of the undead was a native and he had numerous friends in the magical continent.

Yet he ultimately vanished without a trace.

His talents could not have been inferior to her own.

At his level by you could scarcely fathom the might of the undead empire.

Surely it must have been swarming with monarchs and emperors.

Influenced by her previous life's ideologies, Bayou equated disappearance with death.

Otherwise, the vast undead empire would not have crumbled.

Take Bayou's own enttrapment in the holy land of Andy.

Even in her absence, the city of the undead continued to function normally.

For all the lords were aware that their queen yet lived.

When Mogus claimed that the Lord of the undead had gone missing, Bayu was inclined to believe he was indeed dead.

Even the divine had proclaimed a decree rendering the name of the Lord of the undead a taboo.

Would I end up like him? Never mind, she thought.

I must first attain the rank of monarch to even consider such matters.

For now, let me examine the rewards.

Bayou resolved to put aside these thoughts.

Her primary concern being that the grudges of the Lord of the Undead would inevitably entangle her.

For now, survival and growth were of utmost importance.

As for encounters with rulers of other races, she would leave that to chance.

Even without them, the seven kings were sufficient.

Her greater concern was the rewards bestowed by the fully upgraded barrack system.

Generally speaking, the essence was always something of value.

Energy, essence of the undead.

Effect grants the ability to transform all living beings into the undead.

Strength and form vary according to species.

Enhances one's own necromancic abilities.

Provides experience points.

Side effect.

Only those of the undead bloodline can absorb it.

Otherwise, it will result in fatal backlash.

Goodness, this is truly a proper reward.

Bayou was instantly invigorated, reflecting on the rewards from the fully upgraded city.

Could they even be compared? It seemed that the essence of any species came with severe side effects.

The essence of the elves transformed one into an elf, while the essence of the undead being the reanimation of the lifeless naturally posed a risk of instant death upon absorption.

By you produced the essence of the undead, a mass of black energy that appeared rather unremarkable.

Without hesitation, she chose to absorb it.

Her experience points surging to their limit, followed by a significant enhancement of her six necroantic abilities.

Naturally, she also gained the capacity to transform other beings into the undead.

Although her magic was fortified, Bayou did not perceive a striking enhancement.

Rather, it felt as though her understanding of magic had deepened.

Take for example dark magic and lightning magic.

Both were of the advanced tier, yet Bayou's comprehension of dark magic far surpassed that of lightning.

It seemed that her research would soon yield progress.

Bayou extended her hand, feeling the surge of her newfound power, while the description indicated an enhancement of her magic.

She distinctly sensed a considerable increase in her attributes as well.

Alas, such a splendid reward could be claimed but once.

Perhaps this is simply by Yu's innate ability, which has merely unlocked itself upon reaching a certain level.

With this thought, Bayou felt greatly relieved.

The barracks would henceforth operate autonomously, liberating BYU's hands entirely.

The undead unit does not heavily rely on the barracks.

Its remaining function may merely be to randomly summon race leaders, distinguishing it from a units that are entirely dependent on the barracks, like Jeang.

Therefore, the barracks being at full level does not significantly aid by you.

Unit types: skeleton soldier, zombie, wraith, death knight, gargoyle, bone dragon, ghost dragon, lich, zombie titan, necromancer, destroyer, ghoul, death guard, cave spider.

Description: Each type of undead is fixed at 30 units with a very low probability of randomly summoning race leaders and special fixed units.

The base level of summoned units is elevated to level six.

Special fixed units, monk, black alchemist, matriarch.

Note, special fixed units have a predetermined summoning quantity, which does not change with the barracks.

10 monks, 10 black alchemists, one matriarch.

With such an extensive introduction, 14 types of units, each consisting of 30 amounts to 420 units.

Bayou was somewhat astonished.

A fully upgraded barracks indeed has its merits as it could summon 441 undead daily.

Special units and race leaders are now summoned randomly each day rather than being acquired through upgrading the barracks.

This marks the most significant enhancement to date, prompting Bayou to decide to stealthily upgrade that night.

Now the spirit cores and magic crystals have purely transformed into Bayou s alchemical materials, granting him resource independence.

This uplifted Bayou<unk>s spirits as his strength had subtly increased.

As for the remaining resources, Bayou devoted all of them to Jeang Yi.

His barracks had been upgraded six levels in succession, depleting the resources in those stoages entirely.

Jeang Y stone dragon barracks reached level 21, reducing the cool down period from 5 days to three.

Bayou's next objective was to elevate Jeang Ya's barracks to full capacity, enabling rapid development in the non-Hiang region.

The Avatar of the Undead was also stationed in Dragon City, primarily to absorb the necrotic energy generated from Jeanya's conquests and to provide a layer of protection.

With a royal level undead present, assistance could be rendered when necessary.

The remaining time was not spent on research, but rather on experimenting with his abilities.

Suddenly, Bayou paused.

Could angels, trolls, titans, and dragons all be transformed into the undead? Bayou is uncertain as angels and titans possess holy attributes that might counteract his abilities.

As for dragons, would their transformation yield bone dragons? No.

Bone dragons are summoned postmortem, classified as summoning.

The essence of the undead transformation occurs while the beings are alive.

Denoted as transformation.

The two abilities are fundamentally distinct.
