An Extra’s POV

'It changed again!'

Claudius exclaimed internally as he watched the new and more menacing form of the Compound Corpse that eerily stood before everyone.

Did this mean that his suspicion was correct? Was this thing learning?!

"A Compound Corpse evolves upon each death so that it doesn't suffer it again. This adaptability depends on the material used for its creation, though…" The black-suited man looked at the creature before it and sighed.

"As you can see, it is largely incompetent as a result of the inferior flesh that it was formed from. There's nothing I can do to improve trash, it seems."

'Inferior? Incompetent? That thing… is trash?!' Claudius' eyes were widening far more than he thought was possible.

'What am I hearing?!'

Claudius had never heard of an Undead with multiple lives. If such a thing existed, he was certain that he would know of it.

'It's unbelievable…' Yet such a thing was happening right before his eyes.

It was every Necromancer's dream to create a true undying Undead.

This meant they had to either be virtually immortal, which wasn't possible, or they had to be able to grow and learn so they wouldn't die.

'If his Undead keeps evolving at this rate, it'll become unkillable.'

A more terrifying thought entered Claudius' mind.

'What if… he uses even more people as a sacrifice? Just how powerful will the Undead become?!'

It was a question that was too scary to answer.

"Well… I've rambled on for long enough. Why don't we continue from where we left off?"

Claudius instinctively knew his two Knights would not be enough to handle the current enemy.

As a result, he used [Abyss Call] once again, creating three more black circles on the ground.

Proceeding out of them were three Mage-looking Undead—all of them wearing tattered robes with rotting flesh for skin.
