Danzel currently was in a state of nostalgia.
`When was the last ti that I felt like this?´ He asked himself.
Thinking back again, they were few instances where he could think of such a similar feeling overwhelming him.
But this ti the feeling was two tis- No, maybe three tis greater from back then.
It was to the point that it brought forth the euphoria-like feeling of evolution.
But this feeling didn´t co from reaching the point of evolving into a higher being.
It ca from receiving overwhelming power.
[Level has been increasing from 94 to 95]
[Strength Increased by 4, Agility Increased by 4, Intelligence Increased by 2, Endurance Increased by 4]
[You gained 3 Attribute points]
After leveling for a whole of 50 levels, Danzel stored XP was in a matter of minutes, just like that spend.
"Haha~Those two damned years...have been all worth it!" Danzel said out loud while laughing at his newfound power.
His mind beca all that much clearer while his body felt light a feather that could crash iron with just his hand.
He sowhat expected it, but theorizing compared to feeling the actual effect was a different thing.
Even if he tried he couldn´t explain how sothing like that felt.
The feeling of suddenly gaining almost double your power was after all, unimaginable.
"Status!" Danzel said, disregarding however loud he was.
If he didn´t see it, he would think that all this was a lie.

[Remark: A Young Wight who almost reaches his peak of power! Worthy to be called a freak among his fellow undead. It has little experience with Death Magic, but still enough for others to recognize you as a Wight. But because of your past, being mistaken as a Lesser Lich isn´t impossible.]
"It´s really almost double the amount..." Danzel said, realizing that he just yelled.
`If I were to evenly distribute my attribute points, then I would even gain more than twice my original strength.´ Danzel thought as he just noticed the remaining attribute points.
What finally turned him down from his excitent was him reading the remark.
At first, he praised him and then started to insult him...
`I am distracting myself
Seeing that it wasn´t ti to waste ti like this, he imminently went and spend the remaining attribute points to where it would help him most.
And that attribute would be...
[Agility Increased by 150]
Feeling his body becoming so light, made Danzel feel weird.
Usually, his attributes would be balanced except his intelligence which was obvious why.
Now though, that was no more.
He pulled his longsword out and swung a few tis at speeds that he wasn´t accustod to.
"It´s indeed weird...but not to that it can´t be controlled." Danzel said as he sheathed his longsword to his sheath.
There wasn´t anything to control actually.
It was his body after all.
The only thing he needed was ti to practice and get used to his speed.
And he had to do that fast.
"I only got so much ti before my plan goes to action...until then I got to run away." Danzel said.
Although he called it a plan though, it was more like him running away from the Arcana Kingdom, out of the grasp of the rchants Union.
Of course, he wasn´t going just going to burst the door open with just his newfound power.
From those remaining years, he didn´t sit there and do anything other than carving runes.
He supplied himself with many toys that would make breaking out of his building easier.
Those toys were considered as his research supplies, which were being delivered by Hanson to him.
And Danzel was sure, that him using those supplies as he planned to, would really surprise the guards and Hanson.
But out of all those things, the biggest ti invest wasn´t for the toys he prepared.
No.
It was for a special present that he prepared to give Hanson.
Summoning dozens of armors by his now improved spatial ring of storage, he put a grin to his face.
"If I rember right, my next delivery should be in three days. And based on what Edward told , those armors would be used in the fifth day."
Taking a look at the armor, Danzel picked another armor without any runes engraved in it and started to carve a rare rune that he got through the two years.
At first, when he got that rune, he cursed as to how useless it was.
Now though, he carved that very rune in every one of those armors.
Those chest plates were supposed to have the [Rune of Force] carved in them, which bestowed a one-ti use self-activating barrier.
That was the order that Hanson placed on Danzel.
`This will be my present to you, Hanson.´
***
The war between the kingdoms of Berum and Arcana had been for years being a stalemate.
Even if there were tis when one of them conquer a part of the land of the other kingdom. The other party would soon reclaim it back or take another land of their opponent.
That was the norm of the current war.
The reason why such a back and forth didn't change was that both kingdoms didn't go all out.
In such fights mostly soldiers of the 3rd-tier or below were able to participate.
Any higher would break the unwritten rule that those parties decide to.
Although that rule was being broken from now and then by beings of a higher tier.
An actual death of such a being hasn't happened for years.
As nurturing a 4th-tier was miles harder than making an elite soldier of the 3rd-tier.
Wasting such trump cards for a bit of land wasn't worth it.
Making that both armies were generally even with the kingdom of Berum being slightly stronger than Arcana cause of their Life Force being more popular in the public with priests of the holy elent taking care of the surviving soldiers.
But that advantage was shaken two recent years.
A personal of the 5th-tier, the Saintess was removed and called a heretic instead by the pope, splitting the church in two and creating confusion on the ranks of the church.
Not only that, their enemy created an inhumane weapon that neither feared nor felt pain.
At least that's how they saw it, in the current battlefield that was taking place.
"K-Kghhhh!"
Their arms were blackened with fingers of the form of a scythe's torn the flesh of the Berum soldiers together with the armor apart with a rageful expression.
Although they occasionally they also killed a few of the arcana soldiers.
Those monsters didn't care.
That fact alone builder a terrifying image on the Berum soldier's head.
Making their morale fall apart once that monstrosity ca at them.
The most terrifying was that they weren't small in numbers.
Around 100 such beings holding the power of a 3rd-tier ravaged through the battlefield.
And another annoying part of those monsters that the generals of the Berum found most annoying was the equipnt that those beings had.
Armors that had a barrier!
t first when they learned of that, they thought that arcana was carelessly throwing their resources to create such enchantnts.
But once they inspect the corpse of such a monster, they soon realized they were wrong.
Those weren't enchantnts!
Those were runes!
aning that those monsters gained a free life at no further cost of the Arcana kingdom!
For that reason alone, it made facing those monsters incredibly annoying and not worth dealing with.
But letting them kill their groups wasn't acceptable either.
"Dammit! Another wave of those Arcanic Mutants is dimming our wave" The commander responsible for this battlefield on the Berum side cursed out loud.
Though the recent year's he faced many of those arcanic mutants.
And he knew how annoying it was to deal wi them.
"Quick! Prepare artillery magic on those things! We can't let them go any further!" They generally commanded with a hoarse voice.
"But Commander..! Our man will be hit!" The mage responsible for delivering orders said in protest.
"Doesn't matter! If those things don't do, we will lose many more n than we will kill ourselves! Relay the ssage! That'd an order!"
Clenching his hand as hard as he could, the mage relaid the mage with a heavy voice.
Soon after, nurous spells flew through the air.
Soon after, the spell fell on the Berum soldiers alongside the Arcanic Mutants.
Cries of grief and pain together with the sounds of explosion filled the battlefield.
Making everyone who wasn't hit get a hold sweat.
"It isn't over! Send another valley of spells on the sa spot! They aren-"
As the general of the Berum was about to finish his command, he was stunned at what he saw.
"They...died?"
Starting at the corpse of the Arcanic mutants, he was confused.
Were they not supposed to survive with their barrier?
Both generally of the Arcana and Berum though.
But the Arcana got quickly over it and commanded his units to charge, noticing the confusion on their enemy.
As the soldiers of Arcana were approaching the enemy army with the arcanic mutants lying ahead.
A sudden change happend.
The armor that the corpses Arcanic Mutants wore brightened with an ominous dark light.
The dark light ford a circle in the middle of the chest plate and the next mont the dark light.
No.
The dead mana ford a spike in the middle of the circle outwards.
Going down, the dead mana spike pierced the corpse of the arcanic mutant through their chest until it was fully absorbed in their body.
But as the soldiers of both noticed that anomaly taking place.
It was too late.
Standing back from the dead, the hundred or so arcanic mutant scread with hate and rage much stronger when there we were alive.
And now, the forr known arcanic mutants beca undead who only saw hate for the living.
They beca ghouls.
"GWAAAAGH!
"GWEEEEGH!
"GHEEAHH!
