“Rise!” Lux roared as he summoned all of his Skeleton Gangbangers en masse, all of which hurriedly re-engaged the enemy.

Unfortunately, the Abyssal Deer had learned its lesson, so it once again raised its front legs and stomped on the ground.

This time, not only were the Skeleton Gangbangers killed, but the Steel Golems and the Elite Shield Protectors also turned into particles of light.

With one angry bleat, the Abyssal Deer charged toward Lux’s direction with the intention of killing the Half-Elf, who had put it through so much trouble.

Lux didn’t stand idle and equipped his “Dragon Regalia,” which bestowed upon him the power of lightning.

Using Lightning Steps, the Half-Elf distanced himself from the Deer as his mind shifted into overdrive, thinking about how he would be able to overcome the disparity in rank.

‘If only the Skeleton Gangbangers and Steel Golems had more hands…’ Lux thought.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration appeared inside his head, which made Lux wonder if it was possible.

He had been too focused on commanding only his army that he had completely forgotten that he still had one more skill that he could freely experiment with.

It was none other than the skill, Skeleton Make [EX].

“Rise!” Lux then raised his hand to summon his Skeleton Gang Bangers, as well as his Steel Golems.

After summoning his forces once again, he smacked his fists together and placed his hands on the ground in front of him.

“Skeleton Make…” Lux declared as he materialized the thought inside his head.

“Hecatoncheires!”

Suddenly a notification sounded inside his head, confirming that the thing he envisioned was successfully created.

A Giant Skeleton with hundreds of arms and dozens of heads and towering thirty meters tall stood in front of the Half-Elf.

Lux couldn’t help but notice that some of the Monster’s hands were made up of bones, while a few of them were made of steel.

The Skeleton Gangbangers, and the Steel Golems, merged with Lux’s Skeleton Make [EX] ability, creating a Behemoth whose strength had reached the Deimos-Rank.

The heads of the Hecatoncheires then all roared in unison as the Giant Abomination charged at the Abyssal Deer with the intention of smacking it to oblivion.

ALL-MITE, who was spectating this battle, looked at his four arms before shifting his gaze at the Hundred-Armed Giant, who had thrown itself at his enemy with fearless abandon.

He was the strongest among Lux’s Necromancer Covenant, and yet, he thought that the Hecatoncheires looked so cool with its countless arms, ready to smash its foe to oblivion.

“Not bad, but… he still lacks proper control,” Gaap muttered as he looked at the Hecatoncheires, which was in a berserk state.

All of the Hecatoncheires eyes were glowing crimson red, making even Lux who summoned it, back away in fear of being attacked by his own creation.

With a hundred arms at its disposal, the Giant Abomination grappled the Abyssal Deer and pinned it on the ground.

The Hecatoncheires then began to pound the Abyssal Creature’s body with its free hands, turning it into a one-sided beating.

The dozens of heads weren’t being idle either, fiercely biting the Deer’s body like a pack of Lions hunting its prey.

It was a very gruesome sight, and Lux wondered if summoning the Hecatonchires would be effective in large-scale battles.

It was so big, and its movements were not that fast, which meant it could be targeted easily by long-ranged fighters

However, if it only had to fight against one opponent, its fighting ability was second to none.

Although its movement speed was slow, its attack rate was fast, allowing it to punch, slap, smash, and bite its opponent, using everything in its arsenal to the fullest.

Lux couldn’t help but feel pity for the Abyssal Deer, who was now being bitten by dozens of heads and had its flesh torn from its body, dying the ground black with its blood.

He had seen how beasts devour each other, but the Hecatoncheires was in a league of its own.

Minutes passed, and only the Abyssal Deer’s muffled cries and the Hecatoncheires’ mad laughter could be heard in all of Zangrila as the battle neared its end.

After what seemed like forever, the Abyssal Monster finally took its last breath, as its Unholy Foe continued to feast on its body.

Not being able to stand the gruesome sight any longer, Lux canceled the summoning, disintegrating the Giant Monster into particles of light.

“You have a very interesting skill, Lux,” Gaap said as his Bone Wyvern landed beside the Half-Elf.

“Thank you, Master,” Lux replied as he continued to salvage whatever he could from the remains of the Abyssal Monster.

Fortunately, its Beast Core was still intact, allowing Lux to use it in the future.

Although the Deer’s body was badly damaged, it could still be revived using the Animate Undead Skill.

The only downside was that it would become weaker, compared to its former glory. Even so, Lux was fine with that.

Due to Asmodeus’ proposal, the Half-Elf decided to create an Abyssal Undead Legion that would devastate his enemies if they were to ever make their appearance on the battlefield.

Revon would be in charge of commanding the Animated Undead Soldiers, while Asmodeus would be in charge of the Animated Abyssal Legion.

Even the Liches that were under the Archlich’s command had been ordered to prioritize the revival of the Undead Abyssal Monsters.

Their first minions were the Abyssal Bats that Eiko and the Plague Wing Gargoyles had just defeated.

Lux was even considering building a teleportation gate in Zangrila, allowing him to return there anytime, so he could replenish his Abyssal Legion.

“Let’s stop for now,” Gaap said after seeing the exhaustion on Lux’s face. “We will start again in three hours. Your next goal is to fully control the Hecatoncheires and ensure that it won’t go berserk.

“Although it is stronger in its Berserk State, a mindless Monster is still a mindless Monster. Its effectiveness in battle will be reduced because it will not be able to follow orders, nor can it differentiate between friend and foe. If you are unable to master your control over your new subordinate, it will just become a liability in the future.”

Lux nodded his head in understanding before taking a deep breath. He didn’t know how long he would be staying in Zangrila, but he hoped that Cai and the others were safe.

He didn’t know what was going on in the Gate of Famine, and he also had no idea how his friends were faring.

The only thing he could do right now was finish his training as fast as possible so that he could reunite with his companions again and finish the messy business that he had started.
