Hikaru was surprised by the number of Space Stones that Larry said he discovered . However, he currently didn't need that many space stones, so he just took note of what Larry said.
He wanted to solve the "Monster Raid" event first and then deal with the other problems. Hikaru was generous with the resources he received. He used 10 million soul points to level up Larry from level 20 to 30.
…

Agility: 28,000 (+84,000)
Strength: 6,000 (+18,000)

After promoting Larry, Hikaru did not forget to say a few words of encouragement to him: "You are the person I trust the most. Don't let me down."
Larry was very happy when he heard that, and he hastily bowed his head respectfully. Although the monsters summoned by Hikaru would never betray him, they are also living beings, not mindless machines.
Sometimes just a few words of encouragement are enough to help them increase their productivity. After saying some words of encouragement to Larry, Hikaru felt like he was a capitalist boss who used clichéd words to deceive the workers.
Hikaru shook his head and put that thought aside. He was not greedy, so he didn't feel ashamed about it.
At this moment, Larry spoke, "Master, there's something I need to tell you."
"What?"
Larry looked at Hikaru's face and trembled slightly, not daring to speak. Hikaru frowned and said, "Just say it."
"Yes!" Larry nodded and said, "I saw something you might be interested in."
Larry sent his memories to Hikaru. This was all possible thanks to the talent of the King.
Hikaru closed his eyes and went through the memories he had obtained from Larry. Through Larry's memory, he saw a wall. It was over ten meters high. On the wall, many soldiers were patrolling. They were all wearing armor, holding spears in their hands, some holding bows or magic staffs like magicians.
However, what surprised Hikaru was that behind the wall seemed completely different. Although he couldn't see what was behind the wall, Hikaru could feel the intense vitality.
Because outside the wall, there are countless undead monsters, but there is definitely a city full of life behind the wall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHikaru frowned, wondering what kind of place it was and why people lived there. He felt that the place was entirely separate from Misty World. Was it a different dimension or...
Many questions appeared in Hikaru's mind, but he had little information about this world. He thought for a while and then asked Larry: "Can you infiltrate that place?"
"Easily Master." Larry said confidently. Hikaru rubbed his chin, feeling that if Larry was that confident, he should be able to learn a bit more about this world through Larry.
Then, infiltrate that place and act freely. Remember, don't take risks. Being alive is your priority. If you have any problems, you can contact me anytime through thought. Remember, you are the person I trust the most, and I don't want to lose a subordinate like you. "
Larry heard that and bowed his head happily. He did not think that the master trusted him so much. In his heart, Larry swore that even if the summoning contract did not bind him, he would still be loyal to Hikaru.
After Larry left, Hikaru teleported back to the cave and took out the purple card Larry had saved for him.
…
Name: Sacrifice
Rarity: SSR
Description1: Players can sacrifice unused cards to receive new cards with higher potential.
Description 2: The sacrificed card's rarity cannot be greater than SSR class.
Description 3: The more cards you sacrifice, the higher the percentage of players who get cards with high potential.
*Please keep in mind that this Skill only works on cards.
…
Hikaru was overjoyed to see this card because he had a lot of monster cards, skills, and items that didn't do much. If he had this skill, he could sacrifice useless things in exchange for something of significant value.
Hikaru didn't think much of it. He chose to evolve the Sacrifice skill.
[Ding! To evolve the Sacrifice skill, you need to spend 300,000,000 soul points. Do you want to pay or not?]
Hikaru: "..."
Hikaru was mentally prepared because he knew that evolving an SSR skill into a UR level would take a lot of resources. However, 300 million Soul Points was too much.
He felt that it wouldn't be enough even if Larry gave him 1 billion soul points. Hikaru suddenly remembered a saying on Earth: "With money, anything is possible. Without money, even if you die, there is no place to be buried."
However, the sacrifice skill was a much-needed skill for Hikaru, so he decided to pay for it.
"Agree to pay."
[Ding! Payment successful.]
[Ding! The Sacrifice skill has evolved successfully.]
…
Name: Sacrifice
Rarity: UR
Description 1: Players can sacrifice unused cards to receive new cards with higher potential.
Description 2: The sacrificed card's rarity cannot be greater than UR class.
Description 3: The more cards you sacrifice, the higher the percentage of players who get cards with high potential. The good qualities of the sacrificed cards will be selected and kept.
Description 4: There is a 10% chance that a card "Legendary" will appear.
*Please keep in mind that Skill only works on cards.
…
Although the effect did not increase by much, having a 10% chance of getting a "Legendary" item is enough. It must be known that the "Legendary" items are incredibly unique. They're similar to the "12-Face Dice".
"Master!"
Suddenly, Saraya's voice resounded in Hikaru's head. He knew Saraya was communicating with him through the Talent-The King link.
Hikaru calmly asked, "What's wrong?"
"The monsters have appeared." Saraya's voice was extremely urgent.
Hikaru frowned. He teleported back to his room. He looked outside and discovered that the mist surrounding the territory was condensing like clay that had been molded and formed into monsters.
Those were not ordinary monsters but undead, which were the remains of countless monstrous monsters created by the mist.
Behind them, the cloaked skeletons, like Necromancers, with their eerie skulls, The Necromancer monsters weren't many, but they seemed to be commanding the undead monsters.
…
The farmers were all very scared. They constantly moved and worked to strengthen the wall, especially Darnag. Even though his shirt was soaked with sweat, he still managed to draw more magic symbols on the wall to increase the defense.
Darnag was exhausted and Mika advised him: "Darnag, don't try too hard. Vuni didn't ask you to draw more magic symbols. Let us save our strength for the fight."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Darnag heard that, he wiped his sweat with his shirt and replied, "No way. The enemy is too much and are very strong. We can hardly defend ourselves if we are surrounded. The undead are not strong. But they can drown us with their numbers."
Darnag's face was covered with fear as he spoke: "However, it is different now. The Necromancers are commanding the undead. Not only is their strength enhanced, but also their fighting method will be more unique."
"Can necromancers strengthen the undead?" Mika asked. She found it difficult to understand that the necromancers could make undead as scary as Darnag had just said.
"It's because you're not aware." Darnag explains: "I have seen many wars. In it, when high-ranking necromancers lead an army of undead, their power will be increased thanks to their dark magic. Besides, the undead monsters will also know how to fight in groups like well-trained soldiers."
Darnag wiped his sweat and continued: "Their strength can not be looked down on. Even the royal army dare not underestimate them. Apart from that, many mercenary legions perished because they dared to underestimate their combined strength. There is a name for this army, which is [The Punishment Legion of God]."
"Is it that bad?" Mika was startled to hear that. She couldn't believe that the skeleton monsters known as brittle bones, which even an adult could crush, were so powerful.
Suddenly, Mika continued to ask: "So... can we win?"
Darnag heard that and stopped what he was doing. He looked towards the large house in the middle of the master's domain as if thinking about something.
Then he said to Mika: "The chance of winning? It's very small. It can be said that there is none. Currently, the main combat powers in the territory are Master, Vuni, and Saraya. The Farmers have some equipment, but their combat power is not high, and they have no combat experience."
Darnag sighed and continued, "Mika, I built a secret tunnel which leads to outside." As he spoke, Darnag took a map from his pocket and handed it to Mika, saying, "If everything turns out to be bad, get Master, Vuni, and Saraya out of here."
Mika received the map. She was surprised and asked Darnag: "So... how about you?"
"Me? Hahaha..." Darnag laughed and said firmly, "Someone must stay to block their way."
With that, Darnag turned his head to look at the farmers rushing to shield the city gates. Even though they were just farmers and they were equipped, they had no fighting experience. Although they feared the undead army and the terrifying undead beyond the walls, they did not run away.
"LISTEN!"
Darnag suddenly shouted. The farmers immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered in front of Darnag. They looked at him, and he was looking at them. At this time, Mika and Shala also stood in the ranks of the farmers.
Saraya, Vuni, and Hikaru were in the room and were also watching Darnag.
Darnag used the voice of a man who had no fear of death: "Listen, farmers. I know you are all commoners with no fighting power. Before the mighty enemy out there, your armor is just like cotton, and the sword in your hand is just a fruit knife. We cannot win this battle, and we will surely die."
The farmers who heard that bowed their heads.
"Why are you bowing?"
Darnag shouted, "We are weak, but we are not afraid of the enemy. Even though we will surely die, we will fight. The enemy will tremble at our bravery. History will remember our names. "
"For victory, for the Master!"
In the farmer's eyes, there was a burning fire. They shouted in unison, their voices reverberating throughout the territory.
"For victory, for the Master!"
