”Damn, this is great” Ryan grinned looking at his new class.

”Now, this is proper class” he nodded closing the screen as his then looked at the rest of the rewards.

Most of them were skills and materials he had already expected from an S-Rank boss.

However, three rewards caught his attention.

The first was the Greater Undead Physique.

The second was the Death Conjurer talent.

The third was the Greater Undead Soul Crystal.

Ryan opened the description of the new race trait first.

Greater Undead Physique

It strengthens the user’s body with dense Death Energy, greatly improving physical abilities and resistance.

Poison Resistance +50%

Reduces physical fatigue by 70%

Greatly increases resistance against curses and negative status effects

Allows the user to withstand higher concentrations of Death Energy without suffering damage

”Another physical enhancement.”

He wasn’t surprised.

The Skeleton King was a purely physical-type boss, so most of its natural traits were related to strengthening its body.

Ryan then opened the next reward.

Death Conjurer

Type: S-Rank Talent

Description:

A powerful talent that allows the user to manipulate and shape Death Energy into different forms.

Unlike ordinary Death Energy users, a Death Conjurer can give Death Energy physical form and use it to create weapons, armor, creatures, constructs, and other objects.

The complexity and strength of the creation depend on the user’s level, Mana, control over Death Energy, and understanding of the desired creation.

He slowly nodded.

”It lets me create things using Death Energy.”

That was much more interesting.

Though he didn’t take the talent for himself, Ryan stored it in his inventory.

”I’ll give this to Father. He can use it.”

Ryan wasn’t worried about losing the talent. He could always return to the dungeon and farm another Skeleton King if he needed one.

There was no reason to take the talent for himself when he already had three powerful talents.

Next, he looked at the three Greater Undead Soul Crystals.

[Greater Undead Soul Crystal]

[Description: A powerful evolution material capable of evolving any undead creature below S-Rank to S-Rank or strengthening an already S-Rank undead creature.]

[Effects:]

[Can evolve B-Rank undead → A-Rank undead.]

[Can evolve A-Rank undead → S-Rank undead.]

[Can strengthen an existing S-Rank undead.]

[Can greatly increase the potential, physical strength, and Death Energy of an undead creature.]

Ryan’s eyes widened.

”Damn, this is much better than I expected.”

He looked at the three crystals carefully.

”If I give these to Father, he could potentially raise three powerful undead to S-Rank.”

Ryan began thinking about the possibilities.

If his father obtained the Death Conjurer talent and used the three Greater Undead Soul Crystals, he could potentially build an extremely powerful undead army.

”That would be almost like having three S-Rank undead.”

Ryan grinned.

”This is seriously good.”

He stored the crystals safely in his inventory.

”I need to farm more of these.”

Ryan then checked his Perfect Loot cooldown.

[Perfect Loot]

[Status: Cooldown]

[Remaining Time: 23 Hours]

Ryan nodded.

”Yep. I’ll farm more.”

For the next five days, Ryan continued hunting undead monsters inside the Skeleton Paradise Dungeon.

He avoided the Skeleton King since it had already been looted, but there were still plenty of powerful undead throughout the dungeon.

Every day, he hunted a different high-ranking undead boss.

The first target was an A-Rank Death Knight.

The Death Knight possessed a powerful physical body and advanced swordsmanship.

After defeating it, Ryan used Perfect Loot and obtained its Death Knight Physique, Death Blade Mastery, and Death Armor skills.

He also obtained a large amount of Death Energy and several Knight-type abilities.

The second target was a B-Rank Skeleton Great Mage.

Unlike the Death Knight, the Skeleton Great Mage specialized in powerful Death and elemental magic.

Ryan obtained its Death Magic Affinity, Soul Flame, and Bone Spear Storm skills.

He also obtained the Grave Magic talent, which increased his ability to control Death-based spells.

Ryan didn’t keep the talent for himself.

It went straight into his inventory.

The third target was an S-Rank Fallen Priest.

This undead was much more difficult to defeat than the other bosses.

It specialized in corrupted holy magic and possessed several powerful support and offensive abilities.

After defeating it, Ryan obtained the Corrupted Holy Magic talent.

He also obtained the skills Fallen Blessing, Holy Ruin, Dark Purification, and Corrupted Healing.

Ryan was particularly interested in the corrupted holy magic.

”It might be useful for creating special totems.”

He stored the talent and skills for later.

His fourth target was an A-Rank Vampire Baroness.

The vampire relied on incredible speed, physical strength, blood magic, and regeneration.

After looting her, Ryan obtained the Vampiric Regeneration talent, along with Blood Step, Blood Blade, Blood Drain, and Night Vision.

He also obtained a small amount of Vampire Blood Essence.

Ryan stored most of the rewards rather than using them immediately.

After five days of continuous hunting, his inventory had become filled with undead materials, skills, talents, equipment, and Death Energy resources.

Ryan looked through everything he had collected.

”Not bad.”

He then looked at the Greater Undead Soul Crystals he had obtained from several bosses.

There were now more than three.

Ryan smiled.

”With these, Father’s undead should become much stronger.”

He closed his inventory and looked at his Perfect Loot status.

The ability had once again entered cooldown after his latest hunt.
