Chapter 148: Feast of Flesh and Bone
---
The army moved like a black tide across the ruined battlefield.
Undead beasts marched beside living summons, their eyes burning with spectral fire.
Above them, clouds of venomous insects darkened the sky.
On the edges, silk-threaded assassins — Xylith's spider-born warriors — hunted enemy stragglers.
And at the center, like a dark sun pulling everything toward him, was Ray.
His black armor gleamed faintly under the crimson sky, and his new artifact — the Centipede King's Carapace — reinforced his back and shoulders, giving him an imposing, almost monstrous silhouette.
---
As the army advanced, Seventeen's voice echoed inside Ray's head, full of wicked laughter.
> [Seventeen]: "Kekeke~ Boss, the second wave will be tougher! Higher-ranked beasts, mutated commanders… and maybe even mini-bosses! Shall we feast?"
Ray grinned. His heart pounded with excitement, not fear.
"Good. Let them come."
---
The Second Gate:
From the massive portal, new creatures emerged:
Six-legged panther beasts with jet-black fur and crimson eyes.
Armored beetles the size of small houses, their shells gleaming like steel.
Serpent-dragon hybrids, slithering and hissing, poison dripping from their fangs.
And leading them — a Twin-Headed Behemoth — a D-rank elite monster whose very steps cracked the ground.
The battlefield trembled under its roar.
---
Ray raised his hand.
"Form up!"
Immediately, the army shifted:
Salvea's flyers swarmed to the flanks.
Elvia's hornet knights took the skies, preparing dive attacks.
Xylith's assassins disappeared into the shadows, setting traps.
Undead troops lined up in defensive phalanxes, shields locked.
Ray's own Beast Tree Summons — the Frost Wolves and Venomous Basilisks — growled eagerly at his feet.
---
Then Ray pointed his sword forward.
"Advance."
The black tide moved.
---
The Battle Erupted:
The six-legged panthers pounced first — fast, deadly, and cunning.
But Ray's undead phalanx was ready — spears thrust out, catching them mid-air, impaling them on cursed steel.
The armored beetles tried to break through by sheer weight — but the Frost Wolves and Shadow Hawks flanked them, biting into their softer joints.
Meanwhile, Basilisks unleashed poisonous breath, corroding metal shells into mush.
Above, Elvia's hornet knights struck like lightning, drilling into the weaker beasts and dropping toxin bombs on the stronger ones.
It was chaos. It was hell.
It was glorious.
---
Ray in the center:
He dashed through the battlefield like a black reaper.
[Skill: Bone Blade Surge] — summoned black swords from the ground to impale enemies.
[Skill: Necrotic Chains] — bound serpent-dragons mid-air, pulling them down to be torn apart by the undead.
Each kill brought loot:
> [System Drop]:
Beast Core (Low C-rank)
Poison Fang (Rare Material)
[Artifact]: Swift Panther Boots (+Movement Speed)
Ray barely paused to grab it — stuffing them into his inventory with practiced ease.
Kill. Loot. Raise. Kill. Loot. Raise.
His rhythm became mechanical. Efficient. Ruthless.
His EXP bar raced forward like wildfire.
---
Then came the Behemoth.
The Twin-Headed monster roared, charging directly toward Ray, ignoring everything else.
Each stomp shook the earth.
Its heads — one snake, one wolf — opened their jaws, spewing fire and poison together.
Ray narrowed his eyes.
"Queens!" he barked.
The response was instant:
Salvea's insect bombers rained paralyzing mist over the Behemoth.
Elvia's hornets stabbed at its eyes, distracting it.
Xylith's spider assassins webbed its legs.
Ray activated [Skill: Grave March] —
his undead units marched forward in perfect formation, swarming the Behemoth like a flood.
Chains, spears, poison, webs — the Behemoth struggled, screeching, but it couldn't move freely.
Ray sprinted up the moving bodies of his own undead, climbing the beast's body like a shadow.
At the top, he gathered all his mana into one strike.
[Skill: Death's Judgment]
A black, world-splitting slash descended —
and split the Behemoth's snake head clean off.
The monster roared in agony, staggering.
Without hesitation, Ray plunged his sword deep into the wolf head, channeling necrotic energy directly inside.
BOOM.
The Behemoth collapsed, lifeless.
---
[System Alert: Dungeon Mini-Boss Defeated!]
> [Rewards:]
Mini-Boss Core (Mid C-rank)
[Artifact]: Twin Behemoth's Hide Cloak (Epic Tier)
Rare Beast Egg (2x)
+10,000 EXP
400 Summoner Points
---
Ray panted, blood dripping from his armor.
His army cheered — a cacophony of insect shrieks, beast howls, undead growls.
They had won.
Again.
Ray opened his status to check:
---
Ray's Current Status:
Class: Necromancer Commander
Level: 42
Army Size: 1500+
Summoner Points: 850
New Artifacts: Swift Panther Boots, Twin Behemoth's Hide Cloak
---
Seventeen's voice cackled in his mind.
> [Seventeen]:
"Hehehe~ Boss, you're starting to look like a real Overlord!
But hey… guess what?
Gate Three just cracked open."
Ray turned.
Far across the battlefield, a third dimensional gate — larger and darker than the others — began splintering open.
Something... stronger was coming.
Something that would truly test them.
Ray wiped the blood from his sword.
"Good," he said, grinning savagely.
"Let's keep climbing."
---

Batao "Start 149" likhu?Chapter 149: March Toward the Third Gate
---
The battlefield was a wasteland now — torn earth, bloodied skies, broken corpses.
Ray stood atop the Twin-Headed Behemoth's fallen body, his black armor glowing faintly with necrotic energy. His army, too, had changed.
Bigger.
Stronger.
More terrifying.
Thousands of undead beasts, enhanced by new cores.
Hundreds of summoned insect warriors, evolving under the queens' command.
Dozens of elite units — frost wolves, venomous basilisks, skeletal manticores — ready for war.
---
Seventeen's voice buzzed in his head like an excited child.
> [Seventeen]:
"Kekeke~ Boss, Gate Three is leaking pure corruption mana!
Higher-tier beasts, mini-dungeon environments, and even mini-bosses every few hours!
EXP and loot rains are coming! Shall we go all out?"
Ray smirked, sliding the new Twin Behemoth's Hide Cloak over his shoulders.
The heavy, dark hide melded into his armor, making him look like a phantom warlord.
"Yes," he muttered. "We march."
He opened his Army Status to prepare:
---
[Army Status - Ray]
Necromancer Summons:
Undead Wolves: 300+
Skeletal Raptors: 150
Bone Armored Knights: 50
Death Manticores: 6

---
Ray felt the pulsing heartbeat of the army connected to him — each unit a small flame feeding his strength.
He turned toward the Queens standing behind him.
Their new forms were breathtaking —
beautiful humanoid bodies with sharp insect traits: antennae, segmented armor-like skin, venomous smiles.
Salvea, Elvia, and Xylith — his three dark queens — knelt gracefully.
"My King," Salvea said, her voice rich like dark honey.
"The army awaits."
Ray lifted his hand high.
"To Gate Three," he commanded.
"And this time — no mercy."
---
The March:
The army advanced like a living plague.
Undead beasts stomped the ground.
Insect warriors buzzed overhead, scouting.
Ray marched forward slowly, with his generals and elite summons guarding him.
Every few hundred meters, a mutated beast would crawl out of hiding — a corrupted bear, a two-headed serpent, a wyvern with rotting wings.
Every battle was a harvest.
---
[System Drops]:
Beast Core (Mid C Rank)
Artifact: Rotten Wyvern's Wing (Glider Cape)
Rare Material: Darkroot Claw
Beast Core (Low B Rank)
---
Each corpse became a resource:
Cores were absorbed into the Domain Tree.
Artifacts stored into inventory.
Materials given to the Queens for future breeding.
And any worthy beast?
Resurrected immediately by Ray's growing necromancer powers, swelling the army even further.
EXP surged.
> [Level Up!]
Ray - Level 43 → Level 44
Seventeen whistled inside Ray's mind.
> [Seventeen]:
"Boss… at Level 45, you unlock a Special Skill Ticket! Kekeke, can you imagine? A legendary necromancer ability! Keep grinding!"
Ray's eyes burned brighter.
---
Nearing Gate Three:
As they approached, the environment shifted.
The air grew heavier — as if weighed down by death itself.
The land cracked and fumed with black mist.
From a distance, the Gate loomed like a broken fang stabbing the sky, half-open and bleeding corrupted energy.
And in front of it — a horde.
Hundreds of corrupted beasts, organized in warbands, roared at the incoming army.
There were elites among them:
Corrupted Minotaurs, wielding axes of bone.
Rotting Wyverns, vomiting black flames.
Wraith Hounds, howling in madness.
At their center, a Towering Monster, nearly 15 meters tall, stood guard.
It had no eyes, no mouth — just a pulsating, armored body — like a walking heart.
Seventeen gasped.
> [Seventeen]:
"Boss! That's a Mini World Guardian! A pseudo-A-rank monster!
If we kill it… the loot... hehehehe... it'll be insane!"
Ray smiled coldly.
"Good," he said.
"We'll carve a path through their corpses."
---
Formation Shift:
Ray reorganized immediately:
Bone Knights and Skeletal Raptors formed shock divisions.
Basilisks and Hornet Knights were assigned assassinations.
Frost Wolves became mobile strike teams.
Manticores and Web Assassins circled behind enemy lines.
He spoke quietly, yet his voice carried across the battlefield:
"No prisoners. No fear.
Everything must fall."
The army roared.
The black tide surged forward again.
---
The Battle of the Third Gate was about to begin.
And this time…
Ray wouldn't just survive.
He would dominate.
---

---
The earth trembled.
Ray's army collided with the corrupted beast horde like a black tsunami crashing against jagged rocks.
Boom!
Crash!
Screams!
Undead wolves pounced first, their skeletal jaws crunching corrupted throats.
Hornet Knights dove from the skies, their venom-tipped lances piercing beasts with precision.
And in the center of it all — Ray moved like a god of death.
Each swing of his Soul Devourer Spear reaped multiple lives.
Every corpse that fell became a new soldier.
> [Seventeen]:
"Kekeke~ Boss! Core drop detected! Artifact drop detected! EXP rain incoming!"
---
[Loot Notification]
Beast Core (C+ Rank) ×3
Artifact: Deathroot Armor Fragment (Rare)
Skill Shard: Shadow Leap (Uncommon)
---
Ray barely paid attention to the notifications.
He was locked onto the true prize — the Towering Monster near the Gate.
The pseudo-A-Rank beast roared, sending shockwaves that crushed lower-ranked summons instantly.
Its body pulsated, swelling like a massive heart preparing to explode.
Ray narrowed his eyes.
"This thing is the key," he muttered. "Take it down, the Gate is ours."
He raised his hand.
"Salvea! Elvia! Xylith! Support formation! Break its shell!"
The three insect queens, now standing proudly in their humanoid forms, nodded with wicked smiles.
---
Triple Queen Assault:
Salvea summoned clouds of acid bombers to weaken the monster's armor.
Elvia led her Hornet Knights in a coordinated sting assault, targeting the exposed veins.
Xylith sent her Web Assassins weaving razor-sharp nets, binding the monster's massive arms.
The corrupted guardian struggled, howling in rage.
But under the relentless assault of thousands of undead and insects, its strength began to waver.
---
Ray's Strike:
Seventeen shouted excitedly.
> [Seventeen]:
"Boss! Weak spot detected at its left chest vein! Perfect opportunity!"
Ray didn't hesitate.
He vanished with Shadow Leap — reappearing midair —
then plunged his Soul Devourer Spear straight into the beast's exposed chest.
CRACK!
The monster spasmed violently, black blood gushing like a waterfall.
But Ray wasn't done — his hand burned with dark power.
> Skill Activated: [Necrotic Chain Bind]!
Black chains erupted from the spear wound, crawling into the beast's body, corrupting it from inside.
The towering monster let out a final, earth-shaking bellow before collapsing backward, the ground shattering beneath its weight.
BOOOOOOM!
Silence fell over the battlefield for a moment.
Even the corrupted beasts hesitated.
Their Guardian had fallen.
And then…
---
[System Message]:
> Mini World Guardian Defeated!
EXP gained: Massive
Core Drop: [Pseudo A-Rank Corrupted Core]
Artifact Drop: [Demonbone Crown - Epic]
Rare Material: [World Gate Crystal Shard]
Hidden Reward: [Soul Fragment of the Fallen World]
---
Ray landed lightly on the ground, his armor dripping black blood.
He looked at the artifact drops, and a slow grin spread across his face.
> [Seventeen]:
"BOOM, BABY! Jackpot! Jackpot!
Boss, that Crown alone can become your Necromancer Throne Artifact! Kekeke!"
Ray's hand twitched slightly, feeling the enormous surge of EXP swirling into him.
---
[Level Up!]
Level 44 → Level 45
Level 45 → Level 46
---
Seventeen popped a party streamer sound in his mind.
> [Seventeen]:
"Boss unlocked: [Special Skill Ticket]!
Choose later in the Domain or now if you want!"
Ray chuckled.
"Later," he said. "Let's finish this first."
---
Counterattack:
With the Guardian dead, the rest of the corrupted beasts lost cohesion.
Ray's army pressed the advantage:
Skeletal Raptors tore through disorganized wyverns.
Death Manticores bombarded enemy formations with bone missiles.
Basilisks slithered into beast clusters, spitting venomous clouds.
The Queens unleashed their ultimate skills:
Salvea: "Rain of Despair" — Acidic rain that melted enemy armor.
Elvia: "Royal Sting March" — A hornet cavalry charge.
Xylith: "Silken Massacre" — Instant death webs slicing through hordes.
---
Aftermath:
It took another hour, but eventually, the battlefield was theirs.
Ray stood before the now slightly-open Gate Three, black mist swirling around it.
Behind him, his army was bloodied, but alive — thousands strong and growing.
The Queens gathered behind him, their heads lowered in respect.
"You did well," Ray said, patting Salvea's silver hair gently.
> [Seventeen]:
"Boss... Gate Three's environment is insane! We can use it to rapidly evolve your army!
Mini Dungeons, Elite Hunts, World Cores, Special Missions! Everything! Everything!! Kekeke!"
Ray stared at the Gate, his blood boiling with excitement.
"Then let's dive deeper," he said, voice low and dangerous.
"And take everything this world owes me."

---
The black mist of Gate Three writhed like a living thing, whispering promises of power, treasure, and death.
Ray stood still, gazing into the abyss.
Behind him, the army reorganized itself:
Salvea stood tall, issuing orders to rebuild the first wave.
Elvia gathered hornet forces to sweep the surroundings.
Xylith crouched, webbing the wounded beasts for rapid healing.
The battlefield smelled of burnt flesh and victory.
But Ray wasn't done.
He turned slightly and said, "Seventeen. Open the Skill Ticket."
---
> [Seventeen]:
"Wah wah! Boss already impatient! Good, good. Let's roll the gacha!"
[Spinning Skill Ticket Wheel...]
Three options appeared before Ray's eyes in shimmering letters:
---
[Special Skill Ticket Reward Choices]:
1. Soul Marionette (Rare):
Control a corpse or living enemy temporarily.
2. Death's Mantle (Epic):
Temporary shield formed by soul energy that absorbs all magic damage.
3. Ghoul's Feast (Rare):
Devour corpses nearby to restore HP and gain temporary strength.
---
Ray studied the list, his hand hovering.
Seventeen buzzed beside him, voice full of energy.
> [Seventeen]:
"Soul Marionette is pure PvP fun~
Death's Mantle is lifesaving!
Ghoul's Feast? Heh. Boss turns into a beast in close combat!"
Ray smiled thinly.
"Survival comes first."
He tapped Death's Mantle without hesitation.
---
> [Skill Acquired: Death's Mantle (Epic)!]
---
As soon as he confirmed, dark ethereal threads wove themselves into Ray's armor, creating a second skin of shimmering shadow.
He felt his body grow colder — but stronger.
More durable.
More... relentless.
Seventeen cackled happily.
> [Seventeen]:
"Boss now has a magic immunity cheat code for 10 seconds! Kekeke~!"
Ray nodded once.
He turned his gaze back toward the Gate.
"This environment… it's rich."
Indeed, the moment he stepped closer, the Gate seemed to "peel" open, revealing...
A Dungeon Entrance.
---
[Dungeon Discovered: Forgotten Garden of the Dead]
Type: Mini-World Dungeon
Recommended Level: 50+
Threat: Mid-Tier Monsters / Hidden Mini-Boss
Special Feature: Dungeon permanently linked to Domain after clearing!
---
Ray's breath caught.
"Seventeen. Confirm this. If I clear it...?"
> [Seventeen]:
"YESSSS!! Dungeon becomes ours forever! Mini-beast spawn zone! Resource extraction!
It'll be linked straight to your Domain — no cooldowns! It's massive, Boss!"
Ray's eyes gleamed.
Salvea, sensing his mood, approached.
"My King," she said in her cool, seductive voice, bowing slightly.
"The army is ready. Your command?"
Ray thought for a moment.
"Only elites. I want speed, not a meat grinder."
He selected:
20 Bone Knights
10 Death Manticores
5 Basilisk Soldiers
Salvea, Elvia, Xylith accompanying as commanders.
---
Preparation for the Dungeon Raid:
Ray also opened his God Shop and quickly bought some cheap consumables:
Minor Revive Stones ×10
Beast Blood Boost ×5 (temporary Strength boost)
Emergency Domain Beacon ×1
> [Seventeen]:
"Hahaha, Boss becoming more and more like a shameless hoarder! Good, good!"
---
Ray stood before the Dungeon Gate.
Behind him, his army elite and Queens lined up, armored and ready.
Black mist surrounded them all like silent banners.
Ray raised his spear, pointing it forward.
"March."
---
Inside the Dungeon:
The Forgotten Garden of the Dead was not a garden at all.
It was a rotting swamp filled with giant skeletal trees, blood rivers, and mutated beasts.
Corrupted Plant Beasts slithered underfoot.
Undead Dragonflies the size of eagles buzzed overhead.
Strange parasites tried to latch onto soldiers, only to be ripped apart by Bone Knights.
And worse...
in the distance, a massive heartbeat echoed, shaking the entire swamp.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Salvea's antennae twitched.
"My King. Something ancient slumbers here."
Ray smiled coldly.
"Good. We'll wake it up... and claim it."
He led the charge, spear first.
Behind him, the undead army roared —
the insect Queens unleashed their summons —
and the Dungeon shook under their might.
