Nathan jolted in surprise as the dark mist suddenly materialized, out of which a woman's figure erged. She was wearing an ethereal-looking, long, dark dress that cascaded to the ground, and her shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair glowed against her pale skin.
"Rowena?" Nathan muttered under his breath, saying the na of the woman he had previously seen in the system.
Then, several bats enclosed in black energy burst out from under the ground, quickly multiplying until the fog had engulfed them completely. Dozens of bats flew in unison towards Linda, causing her to frantically dart around, her eyes blazing with rage.
"Mr. Nathan, that is Undead!" riel exclaid in shock as the figure who had identified herself as Rowena appeared.
The spellbook "The Book of Darkness" whispered to Nathan, drawing him in with its ancient magical spells. It proclaid its loyalty to him, offering itself as a devoted companion.
Luna whispered gently into Nathan's ear, "Do not worry, Master Nathan. You have just accomplished sothing remarkable - Rowena is now the first of your Undead army. You have earned the title of Necromancer!"
Nathan felt his legs trembling and his heart beating rapidly as if all the energy had drained from his body. He slowly lowered himself to his knees and then collapsed onto the ground, his breathing labored and ragged as if he were about to pass out. "What's wrong with ?" he asked, his voice faint.
"Our Mana and Stamina have recovered after the contract we just made." riel explained, "But it seems your Mana and Will Power have decreased drastically because you forced summoned that Undead, Mr. Nathan."
[Blue Bar (Mana): 30%]
[Green Bar (Energy): 80%]
[Yellow Bar (Will Power): 10%]
riel tenderly patted Nathan's shoulder, allowing them both to finally release a sigh of relief. By his hand, he had managed to summon a creature from the undead, powerful enough to buy them so respite from Linda.
"But you don't need to worry," riel said in a soft, calming voice. "Now that we are bound, I can transfer more of my stamina to you than I could before."
[Rowena - Vampire Queen (Undead) Lv. 64]
Rowena, the Vampire Queen, had been dead for centuries, her body entombed in a deep, dark crypt deep beneath the earth. For many years, her spirit had been trapped in a state of limbo, unable to move on to the afterlife. But now, after centuries of waiting, Rowena was finally ready to rise again.
Rowena suddenly bolted from her spot, becoming a dark mass of energy with an endless swarm of bats erupting from her. When she shifted back to her undead form, she had moved right up behind Linda and was pushing her with both hands. Fortunately, Linda managed to evade her quickly.
Linda smiled, revealing her sharp teeth and burning eyes, then lunged towards Rowena, thrashing her with her razor-like fingers, yet each ti she attacked, Rowena managed to slip away by transforming into a black cloud of energy.
Nathan watched with amazent as Rowena seed to be playing with Linda, who was struggling to keep up with her opponent. He noticed the calm expression on Rowena's face, and he knew that she had a plan to deal with Linda.
"Rowena, please don't hurt her," he said quietly.
Rowena glanced over at him with a mischievous smile before she resud the battle.
Nathan glanced up as a Grimoire flew by, a dark and ominous-looking book with a black cover stained with blood. Its pages were open, and it cycled through various strange symbols.
"This grimoire looks very ancient," riel said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with fascination. "It has a high level of dark elent."
"I don't believe this is from Yunatea," she continued, her finger outstretched towards the Grimoire. However, as soon as her finger made contact with the ancient book, it flew away from her touch. "I think this is The Book from so ancient Necromancer."
riel bead as she saw the Grimoire seemingly co alive. "This Grimoire is truly extraordinary; I'd say it's at least at a General grade, possibly even higher. It almost seems like it has a consciousness. And with chapter one alone able to summon undead of its level...." She paused and turned to look at Rowena with admiration in her eyes.
"A vampire queen..." she whispered in awe, her eyes wide with wonder. "I can't even begin to imagine how powerful she must be, even in her weakened state due to your low level, Mr. Nathan. She could still easily overpower Linda."
Nathan reached out and touched the Grimoire, which was sitting on his right hand. "Hello," he said softly with a hint of a smile.

Nathan attempted to inspect the Grimoire, and his assumption that it did not have any visible grade was correct. This was also the situation with all the artifacts he acquired from the Crescent Moon Dinsion, apart from the Sword of Disidia, maybe.
After Yudan and riel made it clear that the place they were in was not Yunatea, Nathan beca even more determined to find a world that was intimately connected to it. He believed that, though many of the inhabitants of New Earth were unaware of its existence, there must be such a place.
Then, when he saw the na of this pocket dinsion, the Crescent Moon Dinsion, Nathan began to wonder if Luna was privy to so of its secrets. However, it seed that she was not allowed to divulge all the information she had.
Nathan encountered many mysteries even in such a short ti after receiving an awakening and two blessings. Then, he encountered the past Sloth Holders, who gave him the task of killing gods.
Now, he had another fact before him: another God Apostle, those who ca from the God of Virtues.
Nathan nodded thoughtfully, musing on riel's words. "I think you're right. This Grimoire must have co from a world linked to this pocket dinsion - a realm that's still shrouded in mystery, even to . I think if I can increase my level and affinity with the ancient elent, I may be able to uncover more secrets about this pocket dinsion." He trailed off, trying to draw a conclusion.
riel smiled and nodded. "I won't ask how you gained access to this pocket dinsion, Mr. Nathan. But it's clear to that whoever gave it to you cares a great deal for you and has great plans in store. I can sense a lot of remarkable artifacts here."
riel continued, "Now that I'm contracted with you, Mr. Nathan, I'm excited to witness all the amazing accomplishnts you'll make." A hint of a smile twitched at the corners of her mouth, despite the exhaustion that was evident on her face.
Nathan nodded in agreent, "Indeed, but let's first focus on wrapping up the current matter at hand."
