Chapter 66 – Blood Hunt: Rise of a General
---
Crimson Arena: Dead Zone
The ground was cracked,
dark red mist floated above the battlefield.
In the distance, a massive beast roared,
sending a wave of killing intent across the land.
> [Mini-Boss Detected!]
Name: Blood-Eyed Serpent (Mutated)
Rank: D+ (Early Mutation)
Attribute: Blood, Venom
Status: Highly Aggressive, Ravenous
It slithered through shattered ruins —
a monstrous serpent with glowing crimson scales,
eyes dripping venom like acid.
---
Preparing the Battlefield
Ray crouched behind a broken pillar, observing quietly.
At his side:
7 Shadow Wolves (Hidden)
14 Ghoul Vultures (Circling)
2 Elite Undead (Bone Knight + Deathborn Crossbowman)
3 Marked Students (Secretly soul-collared)
Mini-Domain Portal (10 meters behind him)
Seventeen's voice hummed:
> "Master, domain altar at 99%!
One more D-rank corpse and… a General shall be born."
Ray's heart raced.
He wasn't here just to kill.
He was here to harvest evolution.
---
Phase One: Bait the Beast
Ray whispered a command.
One of the marked students — a thin boy pretending to hide — was "accidentally" exposed.
Sssssssss!
The Blood-Eyed Serpent lunged — a blur of red fury.
Snap!
The boy screamed once—then silence.
At the same time:
> [Soul Collar Activated!]
Target bound.
Death detected.
Processing for reanimation.
Ray smirked.
> "Now… Attack formation."
---
Phase Two: Assault from the Shadows
Shadow Wolves bit into the serpent's tail, slowing it.
Ghoul Vultures dived from above, pecking at its eyes.
Bone Knight charged with a roar, sword infused with dark mana.
Crossbowman loosed black-tipped bolts into its joints.
Ray moved at the back,
calm, cold, calculating —
launching Soul Shard Blasts at every opening.
The serpent thrashed wildly,
but it was getting pinned, step by step.
---
The Turning Point
Bleeding heavily, the serpent unleashed a deafening screech.
> [Blood Ritual: Awakening Phase!]
Its scales darkened.
Venom dripped faster.
Its size increased by 20%.
Seventeen panicked:
> "Master! It's activating a partial Blood Awakening! Dangerous!"
Ray gritted his teeth.
Two Shadow Wolves were shredded.
5 Ghoul Vultures fell, torn apart by blood lashes.
Bone Knight was thrown like a broken doll.
Ray knew he needed to end it NOW.
He clenched his fist.
Mana poured into the Soul Core at his chest.
---
Final Move: Necromancer's Grasp
> [Skill: Necromancer's Grasp – Activated!]
Chains made of black bones erupted from Ray's shadow.
They wrapped around the Blood-Eyed Serpent —
binding it, squeezing it, crushing it inch by inch.
Ray roared:
> "Fall and serve me!"
The Serpent let out one final screech—
Crack!
Its body shattered internally.
It collapsed, hissing.
Dead.
Silence.
Victory.
---

Domain: Summoning of the First General
The domain portal behind Ray shimmered brightly.
Seventeen screamed in excitement:
> "Master!!
The Summoning Altar is ready!!
Insert the Blood-Eyed Serpent Core!
Let's create your First Undead General!"
Ray didn't hesitate.
He threw the bloody core into the portal.
The earth trembled.
The sky above cracked faintly.
---
From the portal…
a figure rose.
Twisted.
Magnificent.
A serpentine creature with humanoid arms, covered in blackened crimson scales,
eyes burning with eternal bloodlust.
---

---
Ray stared.
He had done it.
His first General — a monster, a war commander, an extension of his will.
The Blood Serpent Lord knelt, fangs bared in respect.
> "Master. Command me."
Ray's smile was cold and unstoppable.

Chapter 67 – Forbidden Fusion: Birth of a Beast King
---
Cracks in the Sky
The sky remained faintly cracked after the General's summoning.
A subtle, haunting whisper blew across the arena.
> "Those who awaken death shall awaken doom…"
Ray ignored it.
Standing tall with the Blood Serpent Lord behind him,
he scanned the ruined battlefield.
Beast corpses littered the ground:
Blood Wolves
Bone Lizards
Crimson Horned Apes
And more.
Each corpse shimmered faintly with leftover vitality.
> "Seventeen." Ray whispered.
"It's time. Let's create something beyond death."
Seventeen's excited voice echoed:
> "Yesss! Master! Initiating: BEAST FUSION PROTOCOL!"
---
Opening the Forbidden Path
[God Shop – Special Tab: Mutation Catalysts – Opened]
Beast Fusion Catalyst (D-Tier) – 200 God Points
Undead Binding Chains (Temporary) – 50 God Points
Blood Evolution Core (Random Mutation) – 150 God Points
Ray grinned coldly.
Without hesitation, he spent 400 God Points.
[Ding! Purchase Successful!]
His hand burned black as the forbidden catalyst appeared:
a swirling, dark purple orb beating like a heart.
---
Choosing the Sacrifices
Ray selected two beasts:
Blood Wolf Alpha – savage, blood-hungry, fast.
Crimson Horned Ape – brute strength, muscle tank, rage instinct.
Seventeen guided:
> "Perfect! Combining agility + berserk brute strength!
A new monster shall be born!"
---
Fusion Ceremony: Sacrifice and Birth
Ray crushed the catalyst into the Blood Wolf's heart.
> [Fusion Starting…]
Dark purple mist rose.
Tendrils of shadow coiled around both corpses.
They jerked violently —
bones cracked, muscles tore, flesh melted —
until the two beings began melting into one.
Roars, howls, screams echoed as the fusion reshaped their bodies.
Blood splattered across the altar.
Seventeen chanted:
> "O Death, O Beast, O Blood —
Bind and be reborn under Master's shadow!"
---
New Creature: Bloodhorn Ravager
Finally, the mist cleared.
Before Ray knelt a new monster:
3 meters tall
Muscular body of the Horned Ape
Blood-red fur of the Wolf
Twin curved horns glowing dark crimson
Four crimson eyes burning with madness
Razor-sharp claws dripping with cursed venom
---
> [Bloodhorn Ravager Created!]
Rank: Peak D
Potential: C (Mutant Beast)
Abilities:
Blood Rampage: Increases strength and speed as HP drops
Horn Crush: Charges with devastating impact
Blood Howl: Boosts morale of nearby allied beasts

Ray's eyes glittered.
> "My army… my kingdom… starts here."
---
Domain Expansion
Back inside his personal Domain:
Mini-Mana Pond: Now fully formed (Mana Regen +50%)
Weapon Trees: New variant – Venomous Bone Spears
Summoning Altars: 2 Active
Domain Barrier: 15% Strengthened
And a new structure appeared:
> [War Beast Den – Unlocked!]
Special: Allows fusing captured beasts into loyal Domain Guardians.
Seventeen chuckled:
> "Master, your Domain is no longer a seed.
It's becoming… a nest of horror."
Ray smirked.
That's exactly what he wanted.
---
Massacre Under the Moon
Meanwhile—
Nearby teams hunting points were still busy killing ordinary monsters.
They had no idea.
A storm was coming.
Ray unleashed the Bloodhorn Ravager and his Death Legion (Wolves + Serpent Lord + Crossbowmen) into the wild.
Within an hour:
4 enemy teams wiped out.
13 student beastmasters slain.
28 beasts looted.
Over 1200 Academy Points stolen.
The Bloodhorn Ravager's howl echoed across the lands,
shaking weaker beasts to their bones.
In the dark, rumors began.
> "A Beast King… is rising inside the Blood Arena."
> "A Necromancer who commands armies… and fuses death itself!"
---
Status Update: Ray (After Chapter 67)
---
Ending Scene
Ray stood on a blood-soaked hill.
His army knelt behind him,
shadows moving and snarling.
His cold eyes stared at the distant horizon where stronger prey awaited.
> "From now on, this world…
will tremble un

Chapter 68 – Roots of Power, Wings of Challenge
---
[Academy Square – After the Gate Trial]
The crowd buzzed louder now.
Students gathered in small groups — comparing wounds, bragging about beasts, exchanging tales of near-death.
In the middle of it all, Ray stood quietly.
Mira and Aeon chatted near the fountain, but Ray's attention was on his System notifications blinking in his mind.
---
> [Domain Update – Beast Tree Report]
2 New Beasts Hatched:
Windclaw Panther (F Rank, Speed-Type)
Stoneback Mole (F Rank, Defense-Type)
3 Beast Seeds Ready for Planting
Beast Tree Health: Excellent
> [Weapon Tree Report]

10 Bone Arrows Stocked
Upgrade Option Available: "Bone Arrow – Poison Tip" (Costs 20 Points)
---
Ray's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Beasts, weapons... I'll need them soon."
The academy life wasn't peaceful — it was a storm waiting to hit.
And if he wanted to climb, he needed strength. Fast.
Seventeen chuckled in his mind, "Plant the seeds. Raise your army. Let them fear you."
Ray smiled faintly.
---
[Mini Beast Battle Announcement]
Suddenly, a voice boomed across the square.
An instructor — armored and grim-faced — stood atop the Academy stairs.
> "ATTENTION ALL FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS!"
"Mini Beast Battles will begin in two days!"
"Register your beasts. Only tamed or bonded creatures allowed!"
"Victory grants Academy Points, rare resources, and prestige."
Excitement sparked instantly.
Students roared.
Mira's eyes gleamed with interest. Aeon simply adjusted his gloves, a thoughtful look on his face.
Ray?
He just nodded.
"Perfect timing."
---
[Beast Registration]
Later that evening, Ray entered the Beast Hall.
Rows of students lined up, some showing off their bonded wolves, flame lizards, or cloud cats.
A few glanced at Ray and snickered.
> "Heh, bone dogs won't survive a second."
"Necromancer? Tch, cheap tricks."
Ray ignored them.
He stepped forward.
The registration instructor squinted at his list.
"Name?"
"Ray."
"Beast list?"
Ray spoke calmly:
3 Bone Wolves (Modified – Fury Core)
1 Spider-Hound Hybrid
2 Dustfang Rabbits
1 Ember Falcon
1 Windclaw Panther
1 Stoneback Mole
The instructor froze slightly.
So many beasts?!
Normally first-years had one or two at most.
Ray's casual army was already unnerving.
The instructor grunted and stamped the paper. "Approved."
As Ray turned to leave, he felt several hostile gazes lock onto him.
Jealousy. Rivalry. Greed.
Good.
He wanted them all to watch.
He would crush them slowly.
---
[Night: Personal Domain]
Ray stood alone in his hidden domain — the grass shifting under a black sky filled with silent stars.
The two new beasts from the Beast Trees padded forward:
The Windclaw Panther, sleek and silver, its eyes like sharp daggers.
The Stoneback Mole, slow but armored like a fortress.
Ray crouched down, running a hand over the Panther's fur.
"Fast... you'll strike first."
He tapped the Mole's broad back.
"And you... you'll shield the others."
Seventeen appeared beside him, twirling.
"Congratulations, my Lord. Your army finally feels... alive."
Ray smiled thinly.
"Not enough."
He opened his God Shop.
---
> [God Shop – Limited Time Offers]
Beast Mutation Stone (F Rank) – 30 Points
Weapon Seed – 20 Points
Fog of War Expansion – 50 Points
Elite Bone Wolf Blueprint – 80 Points (LIMITED)
> Current God Points: 115
---
Ray's fingers paused on the Elite Bone Wolf Blueprint.
"Maybe it's time... for something stronger."
He bought it without hesitation.
The blueprint sank into the soil.
The ground trembled slightly.
Deep underground, something began to grow — bones knitting together, howling silently.
The first of Ray's Elite Beasts was being born.
