Jiang Yan examined his professional skills.
I hadn't had a chance to study it properly since returning to the real world, but now it's finally time for it to shine.
The graveyard is not yet completed, and there are currently no suitable skeletons or corpses to summon. The only skill that can be used is the third skill, Necropolis.
It can consume a certain amount of Death Essence to permanently summon a Heroic Spirit from the Necropolis of the Underworld to serve you (first summon is free).
Jiang Yan was somewhat looking forward to it, wondering what kind of heroic spirit he could summon.
"In my name, I grant you permission to awaken from your slumber."
Grasping the staff tightly, the Calamity chanted an incantation, and in an instant, his consciousness seemed to traverse endless space and arrive in a dark and solemn hall.
Inside sat countless creatures... no, they couldn't be called creatures, as they had no life force at all, like ancient corpses.
The skeleton wizard shrouded in ice...
A horned demon wielding a staff...
The headless terror knight...
A wisp of eerie green light streaked across the sky, finally settling on the corpse of a woman clad in dark purple leather armor.
She had pale skin, wore light clothing, had a pair of pointed ears, and carried a longbow on her back.
As the eerie green light merged in, the previously tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing bright red pupils, looking towards the location of Jiang Yan's consciousness, and a message flowed into the mind.

At the same time, Jiang Yan felt a sudden jolt in his consciousness, and when he regained his senses, he was already in the Holy Spirit City.
Then the archer suddenly appeared before them, kneeling on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I answer your call."
A slightly deep voice sounded, and Jiang Yan subconsciously looked down, where a bottomless trench came into view.
"Ahem, get up. Aren't you dressed a little too lightly?" Jiang Yan said hesitantly.
The dark purple leather armor was alright on the lower half, but the upper half was made with far too little material, revealing large areas of grayish-white skin.
"Really, Your Majesty? But we've always dressed like this." Sheena's eyes sparkled as she placed Jiang Yan's hand on his left wristband. "Besides, it's a legendary piece of equipment."
"The legendary Dark Ranger Sheena has shared the equipment 'Dark Ranger's Legacy Leather Armor' with you."
[Dark Ranger's Legacy Leather Armor]
Rank: Legendary
Enchantment effects: Lightweight, Unbreakable, Self-repairing.
Additional skills: Dark Source, Inherited Will.
Overall score: 3940.
Related facts: This is the inherited equipment of the Dark Ranger clan, and cannot be used by outsiders. Wearing this leather armor automatically grants the user mastery of all the combat skills of the Dark Ranger clan.
It really is legendary equipment. Jiang Yan withdrew his hand uncomfortably, but this spirit from the underworld seemed much bolder than Anna.
Furthermore, her strength completely exceeded Jiang Yan's expectations; she was far stronger than Aberystwyth.
At first, I thought the Necropolis could only summon some minor elite generals, but now it seems that this skill is far more powerful than I imagined.
Jiang Yan's mood improved upon unexpectedly gaining a powerful subordinate. He tried to activate the "Necropolis" skill again and discovered that the next summon would require 10 million Death Essence.
—This is not many. There are endless monsters and abyssal creatures on this continent. If you kill them all, you can collect them in a few months.
"Xina, do you want to become stronger?" Jiang Yan took two steps back, toying with the Cataclysm Staff in his hand.
“Of course, Your Majesty. Everyone in the Netherworld yearns to become stronger.” Sheena raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.
"Why?" Jiang Yan pressed.
"Because we don't want to die a second time."
Jiang Yan was taken aback, then said casually, "I thought you would say that this would make you serve me better."
“That’s one reason, but we have to survive first, at least leave a bone behind.” Sheena suddenly laughed, her smile giving her a unique beauty against her grayish-white skin.
"Then...as you wish." Jiang Yan smiled slightly and activated his innate skill "Ultimate Sublimation".
"Activation successful. Since the opponent's skills have all reached the maximum level, they have been automatically converted into the sublimation effect."
"Because the curse seal and the sacrifice of life are unique, the sublimation effect failed."
"The Necromancer's Arrow has been upgraded to the same type of skill, Extreme Magic Arrow Technique."
"The Seal of Silence has been upgraded to the Dark Domain, a skill of the same type."
Two levels have been upgraded, not bad. Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the panel, Sheena's score had also risen from a little over 60,000 to around 80,000, not much different from Anna's.
"Incredible." Sheena seemed to sense something and surprised as she took the longbow from her back.
Bang bang bang—!
With a series of drawn bowstrings, black arrows scattered like fireworks, and in an instant, a thousand arrows were shot out.
They landed one after another on the base's boundary line, and the surging death energy shifted slightly to the left.
"It seems that this generation's emperor is not only young, but also very capable," Sheena said with a playful smile. "It's just that there's a somewhat unpleasant atmosphere in the base."
"Xina, don't do anything unnecessary." Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly.
As the lord, no change in the base escapes his notice. If Anna finds out that he has secretly moved the border, the two of them will probably fight.
"Very well, Your Majesty, I will obey your command." Sheena casually put away her longbow and settled down.
It's good that you can admit your mistakes and correct them. Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said:
"I've sent angels to the western abyss battlefield, and dragons are harvesting monsters in the northern mountains. That leaves the east and south. Pick one and I'll leave it to you."
"Why not attack from both sides at the same time, Your Majesty?" At the mention of war, Sheena instantly became excited, her crimson eyes flashing with an unusual light.
“That’s not very realistic. The cemetery will take at least three more days to be completed, and I can’t provide you with any troop support during that time,” Jiang Yan said, shaking his head.
“It seems that although the Emperor has received the inheritance, his understanding of our Netherworld is not sufficient.” Sheena chuckled. “As the first heroic spirit to be awakened, I need to make the Emperor realize that only the Netherworld is your most trustworthy subordinate, not those weak angels.”
"Oh? Those two places have quite a few powerful clans and monsters. Are you sure you can manage all by yourself?" Jiang Yan wasn't annoyed. The other party's faith level was loyal to the death, which meant that they would never betray him, and naturally, they would not lie in such an important place.
Sheena sighed softly and said meaningfully:
"You've been underestimated, Your Majesty. Remember, every powerful being in the Netherworld represents a calamity itself."
