Chapter 52 – Blood on the Wild Fields
The third and final day of the Carnival dawned with the taste of iron in the air.
The Wild Fields were no longer a hunting ground.
They had become a battlefield of beasts, undead, and desperate students.
Squad 47 stood at the heart of it all — a storm waiting to be unleashed.
---
Preparation for War
Ray sharpened his bone dagger while his army assembled around him:
Bone General Kreev, armored in thick, blackened bones.
Six Bone Wolves, eyes burning with blue flames.
Spider-Hound, twitching with barely restrained hunger.
Ember Falcon, circling overhead.
Two Dustfang Rabbits, now evolved into Dustfang Slashers.
Ray checked his resources:
Gold: 1,450 Academy Coins
Academy Points: 320 (from raids and kills)
God Points: 150
Seventeen spoke seriously:
> "Ray, before you move, unlock something."
The God Shop opened — glowing screens appeared before his eyes:
> God Shop Options Available:
[Soul Shard Extraction Manual – 100 God Points]
[Summon Random F-Rank Beast Corpse – 50 God Points]
[Upgrade Beast Tree – 120 God Points]
[New Skill Seed: Bone Armor II – 80 God Points]
Ray didn't hesitate.
He spent 100 God Points to buy the Soul Shard Extraction Manual.
> [Skill Unlocked: Soul Shard Extraction]
Allows the user to absorb fragments of powerful beasts or enemies, strengthening personal summons.
A new path opened.

The Clash Begins
By noon, multiple squads had banded together to stop Squad 47.
A massive alliance of four squads—almost sixty students—advanced toward them.
Among them, Ray spotted the banners of Squad 8 and Squad 12 — both royal and noble backed.
Mira smirked coldly.
"They finally noticed."
Aeon tightened his gloves.
"We hold this ground. Let them come."
Ray stepped forward, Bone General Kreev looming behind him.
"Position."
The army moved instantly:
Wolves took the flanks.
Dustfang Slashers burrowed beneath the ground, setting traps.
Ember Falcon took to the skies to scout.
Other students gaped —
> "They're… moving like an elite unit!"
"That's not a squad… that's a f*cking army!"
And then — the battle began.
---
First Battle: Beast vs Beast
Dozens of summoned beasts — wolves, boars, falcons, lions — charged toward Ray's position.
Kreev let out a Terror Howl — the sound alone cracked the morale of enemy beasts.
Ray pointed forward.
"Charge."
His undead crashed into the enemy like a black tide.
Bone Wolves tore into tamed lions, ripping apart flesh.
Spider-Hound spewed sticky webbing, trapping enemy squads.
Ember Falcon dove with burning talons, slicing through weaker beasts.
Blood, black mana, and screams filled the air.
Students tried to hold the line, but Ray's beasts knew no fear, no pain, no exhaustion.
It wasn't a fight.
It was a massacre.
---
Soul Shard Extraction – First Attempt
Amid the chaos, Ray spotted a massive enemy creature:
> [Thunderback Boar – E Rank]
It crushed two Bone Wolves with a roar.
Ray's eyes sharpened.
He whispered to Kreev,
"Hold it down."
The Bone General obeyed, slamming into the beast, locking it down.
Ray dashed forward — bone dagger glowing.
He drove the dagger deep into the Boar's forehead and activated his new skill:
> [Soul Shard Extraction Initiated]
The world froze for a heartbeat.
A translucent, swirling core rose from the corpse — bright and wild with electricity.
Ray caught it.
> [You obtained: Thunder Soul Fragment]
[Available Options:]
Fuse into an Undead Beast (Give lightning attribute)
Absorb for personal stat increase
Plant into Domain for future summon
Ray smiled grimly.
"Options. Power. Future armies."
He pocketed the Soul Shard — saving it for later.
---
Last Stand of the Alliance
The surviving squads rallied for a final, desperate assault.
Students channeled mana, unleashed spells, summoned dozens of fresh beasts.
Ray's squad was bloodied — half his army weakened — but their eyes burned with loyalty.
Kreev stood beside Ray, battered but unbowed.
Mira whispered, "We might not win if we drag this."
Aeon asked calmly, "Do we retreat?"
Ray shook his head slowly.
"No. We finish this. We show them what death looks like."
He raised his hand.
"Full assault. No prisoners."
The dead surged forward one last time.
---
Aftermath
When the dust settled:
Over seventy beasts lay dead.
Forty students fled the Wild Fields, disqualified.
Squad 47 stood alone, surrounded by fallen enemies and shattered ground.
> [Carnival Points Updated:
Squad 47 – 6,800 Points
— Ranked 1st.]
The Wild Fields fell silent.
No one dared attack them now.
They weren't hunters anymore.
They were monsters.
---
Closing Scene
Ray sat by a cracked fountain, Kreev kneeling nearby.
Seventeen whispered:
> "Congratulations, Ray. You've crossed the first threshold.
Soon, kings, monsters, and gods will know your name."
Ray tightened his fist around the Thunder Soul Shard.
In the dark sky above, faint golden lights appeared — signals that the academy's true trials were just beginning.
And somewhere beyond the horizon…
A Gate of Tier 3 shimmered faintly — calling for the next hunt.

Chapter 53 – The Eye of the Academy
The aftermath of the Wild Fields battle rippled far beyond the blood-soaked grass.
Inside the ancient stone halls of the Academy's Capital, powerful figures stirred.
---
Academy Capital — Elder Council Chamber
Twelve elders, cloaked in flowing black and gold, sat around a massive circular table.
Floating before them was a crystal sphere, replaying the events of the battle.
The image of Ray leading his undead army into the enemy — fearless, brutal, unstoppable — played again and again.
An elder with silver eyes tapped the table.
> "A hidden monster."
"A Necromancer, but more... tactical. Loyal beasts. An army-builder."
"And he's only twelve."
Another, with red robes, muttered:
> "Squad 47... they weren't supposed to exist. Who approved their formation?"
Murmurs filled the chamber.
At the head of the table, the High Director, a woman with pale golden hair, raised a hand.
Silence.
She stared into the crystal.
> "No mistakes. No coincidences.
The Gate chooses.
The System watches.
He will be tested."
The elders bowed their heads.
> "Begin preparations for the Elite Selection Trials.
Let's see if the boy survives the next storm."

Squad 47's Temporary Camp
Meanwhile, far from the scheming halls, Ray sat cross-legged by the ruined fountain.
His team gathered around:
Mira sharpening her twin daggers.
Aeon tending to the wounded beasts.
Kreev standing guard with the patience of a statue.
Ray opened his status screen quietly:
---
Name: Ray
Class: Necromancer (Hidden Evolution Path)
Level: 18
Gold: 1,450 Academy Coins
Academy Points: 320
God Points: 50 (after Soul Shard purchase)
---
Seventeen's voice buzzed in his mind:
> "You have options now. Spend wisely."
The God Shop blinked open, glowing temptations appearing:
---
> God Shop Offers (Updated):
[Domain Expansion Seed – 100 God Points]
[Skill Upgrade Scroll (Common) – 60 God Points]
[Summon Beast Corpse (F-Rank Random) – 50 God Points]
[Basic Slave Collar – 75 God Points]
[Beast Enhancement Core – 90 God Points]
---
Ray had only 50 God Points.
Without hesitation, he chose:
[Summon Beast Corpse (F-Rank Random)]
> [Confirmed:
Obtained: Stormscale Lizard Corpse (F Rank, Thunder Variant)]
The corpse appeared — a sleek, lightning-scaled lizard, almost four meters long.
Its hide crackled faintly with leftover static.
Seventeen chirped:
> "Perfect. Combine it with the Thunder Soul Fragment."
---
New Creation: Thunder Undead Beast
Ray performed the Soul Shard Extraction Ritual, fusing the Stormscale Lizard and the Thunder Soul Fragment.
Crackling blue light engulfed the corpse.
Bones fused with lightning veins.
Eyes reignited with thunderous hatred.
A notification flashed:
> [Congratulations!
You have created:
Thunderbone Serpent – F+ Rank Undead]
(Thunder Attribute | Fast Strike | Electric Field)
Ray stared, amazed.
The creature coiled in front of him, lightning flickering over its skeletal scales.
It wasn't just a summon.
It was an elite piece of his future army.
---
Emotional Moment – Loyalty Oath
Bone General Kreev kneeled before Ray, pounding his bone fist on the ground.
Ember Falcon screeched high above, drawing circles in the clouds.
Even the Dustfang Slashers bowed their small furry heads.
They weren't mere summons anymore.
They were family.
Mira quietly said, almost whispering,
> "You're not just a summoner, Ray.
You're building something... bigger.
A legion.
A kingdom."
Ray smiled faintly, a rare warmth flickering through his cold heart.
"Maybe," he said softly, staring at the darkening sky.
"But first... we survive."
---
Teaser — Next Threat Approaches
Far beyond the Wild Fields, near the Academy's eastern gates…
A Tier 3 Dimensional Gate cracked open.
From within, dark beasts howled — insects the size of wolves, demons with twisted horns, and mechanical creatures clanking with eerie noises.
And worse...
A new race emerged — humanoid, armored in black bone and steel.
Their leader, a thin creature with silver chains and a crown of thorns, laughed.
> "Prepare the welcome, humans.
The real hunt begins now."
