CHAPTER 16

Upon regaining consciousness, Hazard opened the system window.

Standing before the system window, Hazard now had two skeletal wings, each two meters long, extending from his back, along with two new horns growing from the sides of his head.

Hazard hesitated upon seeing his new talents. With the remaining points, he could only activate two of them.

After two hours of deliberation, exhausted from thinking, he finally chose to activate Immortal Resurrection, as it was crucial for his survival, and Summon the Eye of the Death God, which would help him monitor nearby threats.

Then, he turned his gaze to the altar and the list of new units—only to become furious.

Hazard understood the power of these units, but their costs were staggering. The sheer number of Death Gems required was overwhelming.

After some contemplation, he rose from the altar. He had wanted to summon a dragon, but he lacked the necessary hero souls. Instead, he focused on a different priority: increasing the undead population for future summons.

Hazard turned to observe the 700,000 undead soldiers heading toward the mines. He still had 100,000 gold coins, but he planned to keep them.

Finally, feeling exhaustion despite being undead, he lay in the dark waters of the altar to absorb its dark energy—until he realized someone was watching him from 50 kilometers away.
