The Ruined Death Knight-Novel

Having finished putting the smaller details of the deal, Danzel escorted the man out of the church.

"Come back in a week and I will give you the merchandise. Till then try to find some potential buyers that are at least capable to hold their urge of wanting more than they can chew."

"Alright...I will do as you say." Nodding his head, the man limped away.

Although the man broke this leg, this enchanted body that a 2nd-tier had was nothing to scoff at. Though every step that he made was painful, it wasn´t to the point of not being bearable.

Peeking from the door frame, one of the girls quickly made her way holding a big stick towards the man.

Reaching the man, the girl Anna gave the man the stick and he reply with a smile on this face.

"..."

`She is too kind for her own good´ Shaking this head internally, he turned around and looked at the black-haired boy.

"I will be leaving for around a week, make sure you don´t-"

"Yes, yes~ We should not go into the basement or else you will know. We got it already." Marcus said from the said with a grin on his face.

"You heard him..." Kayn said with a anxious smile.

Feeling rather weird, he walked towards the opposite side where the man walked.

Quicking these steps, he moved towards a dark alley.

Making sure that this time none one was watching him, he pulled out this cloak and equipped it.

"Let´s see how it is..." With this Small Magi Mask on this hand, he made his helmet disappear making this eery skeleton face to be shown.

Putting the mask on, he looked at the sky above.

"Yeah, not bad." Confirming that he was able to see the clear sky, He nodded at the quality of the rune.

With this disguise done, he began running towards out of forest that was out of Nercana.

Although the forest was like 8 km away from the city, Danzel who left the city started sprinting towards the forest.

With his unlimited stamina coming from being undead and these attributes, the time it took him to reach the place was no more than 20 whole minutes.

Shaking this shoulder a bit, he made his way towards inside the forest.

"Doing sprints like those isn´t that bad from time to time." He mumbled to himself as he cracked this shoulders bones.

Though Danzel wouldn´t dare to say that he is perfect or that he makes the best decision all the time. At least he didn´t consider himself to be stupid.

Putting all this faith on a stupid promise made between the apposites party desire and his threats wasn´t Danzel´s thing.

Although the contract would notify him when the man broke it, these real worries came from that magic caster.

Not only was that gramps two whole tiers above him, but these capabilities were also unknown to Danzel.

The only thing he knew was that the gramps could freeze someone in an instant. Taking into account that the gramps didn´t struggle a bit of doing that meant that the spell he cast was for him, nothing note-worthy.

At least that´s how it seemed to Danzel.

That's why he left the city for now.

Since from the church, till the association main building is rather far away for a limping man, there was enough time for Danzel to get out of the city.

He feared if he didn´t leave then and waited until the contract burns, that it will be too late for him by then.

"Ugh...now I can relate to that guy Uzal or something. If I had the contract that he envisioned then I wouldn´t even have to worry about those kinds of things." Shaking this head, he seated in front of a big tree while staring at one of the contracts.

"At least this version is also handy, I wonder how much gold coins I would be able to make with this thing..." Putting the contract away, he opened this status window with a big grin on his face.

"Let´s put those unused XP somewhere that is worth putting."

[Remark: A Undead Black Guard nearing the 3rd-tier, with knowledge of runes and skills, far surpassing that of a Draugr, one would never expect that his powerful Draugr warrior would spend months sitting at home and stealing from others.]

[XP:1 200 025]

Upon seeing the 6 digits number, Danzel's hand felt somewhat itchy.

Though he only recently checked on the total amount, he was still amazed at the total amount he was able to amass in just a single month.

Although he would probably earn much more if he just focused on earning XP, the current amount he had satisfied with all the practice that he had from the side.

And he knew exactly where he would spend it all.

"I pushed the date way too far, but now should be the time..."

The moment he stepped out of the cave, he knew that he would have to adapt to whatever the outside world was to throw at him.

Since then he decided to find new ways and abilities that could expand these options for an unforseen situation.

That bought him far enough, but now he needed something more.

Against people like that magic caster who held absolute strength, petty tricks could get him so far.

To go against people like them, what you needed was strength far surpassing them to crush those who would stand on his path.

"Here we go" Raising his hand, he pressed on the upgrade button.

[Level has increased from Lv. 20 to Lv.21]

[Level has increased from Lv. 21 to Lv.22]

[Level has increased from Lv. 22 to Lv.23]

...

Every time a new notification came before him, a large amount of XP was removed with gaining newfound strength through all of this body.

The higher this level increased the less he was able to feel the sense of touch, but that didn´t stop him from increasing it further.

He knew what this meant.

It was his body reaching the limit.

"As the remarked said...I far surpassed the level of a Draugr" Danzel said bitterly to himself.

But soon enough, that would change.

Having spent 990 000 XP to reach Level 40.

Multiple notifications started to show up.

[Strength Increased by 40, Agility Increased by 40, Intelligenz Increased by 20 and Endurance Increased by 40]

[You gained 40 Attribute points]

[You reached the maximum level of the Draugr race]

[Evolution option has been unlocked]

Ignoring the notification, Danzel stared at his hand solemnly.

Clenching this hand, a small crack appeared through this arms with dead mana oozing out.

"I might even have killed myself if I choose to increase the level of either of my classes..." Sighting out of relief, he gazed at these attributes points before shaking this head.

"I should disruptive them after I have been done with my evolution."

Moving my gaze towards the side, he went into deep thought.

[Please choose the race that you want to evolve into]

[Wight]

[Bane Walker]

[Please make haste to your decision!]

"The choices have been reduced..."

Noticing his body starting to shake slightly, he knew that he had to pick something fast.

Pressing on the names, he started reading them one by one.

[Wight]: A undead who managed to finish his consciousness and create a personality of his own. Similar to the skeleton and a Draugrs body, a Wight had a similar skeletor body much tougher than the lower tier undead. As the 3rd-tier Undead that it is, it's famously known for this use of death magic and this melee capabilities. Many mistake them as skeletons or Draugr because of their look, but the strength difference between those is as big as the life span from a mortal compared to an undead.

[Bane Walker]: A undead who managed to wrap this own dead mana around this skeletor body to serve as flesh. It´s said that a Bane Walker is a corpse of an Elementalist who was corrupted by dead mana and turned into an undead. The truth is that a Bane Walker is an undead who tries to imitate the flesh that it once lost by the dead mana from this body.. Although the process of making the dead mana wrap around this body is making this own body much weaker, a Bane Walker is seen as an extremely dangerous existence from this control of mana and abilities.
