"First things first, I'll revive General Revon," Lux muttered as he took the General's dead body out of his Bounty Ring.

He gave the corpse a long and hard gaze before taking out a Deimos Rank Beast Core from his storage ring. A moment later, the Half-Elf activated his Animate Undead [EX] skill, and a prompt appeared in front of him.

----------

< You have chosen to revive a dead Humanoid Creature. >

< Choose between the two options for the Revival of your Undead Creature >

Choice 1: Revive the Creature as a Zombie

Choice 2: Revive the Creature using Advance Customization

----------

During the war against the Ammarian Army, Lux had set the setting of the Animate Undead skill to choose the first option, so he could just raise the slain Soldiers as ordinary Zombies. That was the most convenient choice. A Zombie might be weak, but it didn't require him to use any resources.

But General Revon wasn't an ordinary soldier. Lux planned to create the Commander of his Animate Undead Legion, so he had to make sure that his new subordinate wouldn't just be any "regular" Zombie that was meant to be used as cannon fodder.

After choosing the Advance Customization option, several rows of text appeared in front of the Half-Elf, which made him rub his chin as he pondered his next move.

----------

< Take note that the choices here only show the type of Profession they can revive to. Their abilities and appearance are generated randomly. >

< If you are going to choose a Profession that has a low percentage of success, the chances of reviving the creature will decrease drastically. If the revival fails, the corpse, as well as the materials used for the Advance Customization method will disappear. >

< To increase the chances of success, select the Profession you like and pool in resources to increase its percentage! >

<[Possible transformations of your Animated Undead]>

Dread Warrior = 100%

Doom Knight = 90%

Revenant = 85%

Gladiator = 70%

Weaponmaster = 50%

Dragon Slayer = 26%

Fallen Wargod = 5%

----------

The Half-Elf's gaze locked onto the lowest option on the list, which was Fallen Wargod.

Lux didn't know what a Fallen Wargod was, but the name sounded cool, so he was itching to try. He looked for things that could increase the chances of successfully reviving a powerful Undead.

Similar to how he made Bedivere a Dragon Knight, Lux decided to rummage through his stockpile of items and take his chances.

'Right now, I have six Argonaut-Ranked Beast Cores, eighteen Deimos-Ranked Cores, and a hundred Rank 5 Beast Cores,' Lux thought. 'I already used a Deimos-Ranked Core to activate this option, so using the rest is not a good idea. In that case, let's use the Rank 5 Beast Cores for now.'

The Half-Elf then selected the Fallen Wargod Profession and used ten Rank 5 Beast Cores to increase its percentage.

When he checked the new success rate, his jaw dropped in disbelief. This result wasn't something he expected.

----------

Fallen Wargod = 15%

----------

'You must be kidding me' Lux gasped in surprise after seeing the unfair exchange that was presented in front of him. 'I was planning to use the other Rank 5 Cores for the Skeleton Generator Skill, but it looks like I will have to change my plan.'

The Half-Elf thought that adding ten Rank 5 Beast Cores was already generous enough, so when he saw that it only managed to increase the success rate by 10%, he felt like puking blood.

'Should I just settle for the other professions?' Lux scratched his head in dismay. 'Why do all the Advanced Necromancer Skills require so many resources?'

The Half-Elf stared long and hard at the rows of text in front of him before heaving a sigh. After strengthening his resolve, he added sixty more Rank 5 Beast Cores to the Fallen Wargod Profession, raising its percentage level to 75%

Now, out of the hundred Rank 5 Beast Cores in his possession, only 30 remained.

The Half-Elf felt very bitter about it, but since he already made his decision, he finally activated the skill to revive the commander of his Animated Undead Legion with grit teeth.

A loading bar then appeared in front of him, which would determine whether the revival would be successful or not.

-----

< Attempting Revival >

< Attempting Revival 10% >

< Attempting Revival 30% >

< Attempting Revival 50% >

-----

Lux almost stopped breathing when the loading bar slowed down at 50% and stayed in that position for ten seconds.

Was it a failure?

Fortunately, the bar started to move once again, making the Half-Elf pat his chest in relief.

When the bar reached 100% the Half-Elf did a fist pump as several rows of texts appeared in front of him.

-----

< Congratulations! You have successfully revived a Fallen Wargod! >

< This creature will automatically be assigned as the Commander of your Animated Undead Legion. >

< Do you wish to give the Fallen Wargod a name? >

< Yes / No >

-----

The Half-Elf chose Yes without hesitation, and looked at the kneeling Wargod in front of him.

The Fallen Wargod's entire body was made up of silver steel, which gave him a look similar to a Living Armor. Eight long sharp blades floated behind its back like wings, making him look like a Steel Archangel that had descended from the heavens to start a slaughter.

His golden eyes locked unto his Master's body as he waited for the latter to give him his orders.

"Rise, Revon!" Lux ordered.

Revon, Lux's Fallen Wargod, stood up and pressed his closed fist over his chest as he gazed at his Master, who had just summoned his Soul Book to check the information about him.

-----

"Oh My God!" Lux shuddered after seeing Revon's stats.

He thought that Zagan and Ithaqua were already OP, but after seeing Revon's information, he felt like he was still a frog in the wellignorant about the ways of the world.

After a few minutes, Lux finally calmed down a bit. He realized that although Revon had far outclassed his other subordinates when it came to stats, Diablo and the rest had their own specialties, allowing them to beat opponents stronger than them.

Diablo had the Ethereal Ability, which allowed all of his attacks to ignore any kind of defense and deal True Damage to his targets.

With the current set of armor he wore, his damage would still outclass Revon when the battle became a war of attrition.

Ishtar specialized in freezing her opponents and launching long-range attacks that would make them feel pain before they could even get to her.

Pazuzu didn't deal a lot of damage, but his specialty lay in his defenses. He was the toughest among Lux's Named Creatures, and he would continue to play a vital role as his Fortress Defender.

Orion, on the other hand, was a Revenger. If he were to die in the hands of a Black Dragon 1000 times, his stats would increase drastically and allow him to beat the crap out of all Black Dragons in existence.

Asmodeus could use all of Lux's abilities, making him very versatile. The Half-Elf had no doubt that as long as he increased his Rank and gained more skills, his Archlich would become a one-man army of his own.

Lazarus was the same. Its Stealth, in addition to its high-magic output, could make it a Magical Turret that could appear and disappear on the battlefield.

The Half-Elf sighed a second time. Once again, he realized how much he was truly blessed by all of his subordinates, whose unique abilities make up for his shortcomings.

Now, with Revon as an addition to his ever-growing army, the Half-Elf felt much more at ease. The stronger his subordinates were, the stronger he became.

This was not as simple as 1+1 = 2.

It was more like 1+1 = 11.

That was how Necromancers grow their strength. They were not individuals that fought one-one-one battles.

They fought with an army of Undead by their side.

He might not be a match against High-Rankers right now, but he was confident that no Initiate or lower-end Ranker in the world would be able to survive the damage that he was able to unleash once he fought with everything he had, alongside his Undead Army.

"There's still one last thing to do," Lux said as he eyed the Skeleton Bowl that was patiently waiting for his attention.

Taking out a Draconium Ore and a Deimos-Ranked Beast Core from his storage ring, the Half-Elf was finally ready to try his Skeleton Generator, which would allow him to create another powerful subordinate that would help him in the battles to come.
