At the critical moment, Noland Lee’s thinking was as rapid as lightning.

A blueprint for the spell rapidly coalesced in his mind.

The ghastly bone knife stabbed out from the shadows, aimed straight at his chest.

The tip of the knife penetrated his uniform, sliced open his armored clothing, and was about to stab into Noland’s chest.

At that moment, the blueprint of the spell in Noland’s mind took shape, an invisible wave of energy radiated from him.

This energy drilled into the bone knife, travelled along the blade, the handle, and flowed into the hands of its wielder.

The sharp bone knife abruptly paused, two seconds later, the bone knife slowly retracted, abandoning its prey.

Noland let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a bit of glee at having narrowly escaped death.

“Phew- Thank god I’m skilled in drafting spell blueprints. I released the spell I learned the day before yesterday in just 0.1 seconds.”

Several lines of text surfaced in his mind.

[System Message: You have consumed 1 point of Energy, successfully activating the death-related spell “Soul Bribery”.]

[You have selected the undead creature in front of you as the bribery target.]

[You have consumed 0.5 points of Soul Strength as a bribe.] [“Soul Bribery” has been successfully launched!]

[The enemy will not actively attack you for the next 3 minutes.]

[Note! If you exhibit the desire to attack, the ceasefire state brought about by

“Soul Bribery” will end prematurely.]

Noland acquired the “Soul Bribery” skill from the “Martyr’s Ten

Commandments”, which cost him more than ten Energy Points.

This skill worked on mindless undead creatures, regardless of their strength, making it ideal for combating powerful undead creatures of a higher level. Since obtaining this skill, Noland knew it would save him time and time again.

You want Soul Strength?

Take it, take it all.

He had over fifty points of Soul Strength lying dormant on his Personal Panel.

As long as he didn’t encounter intelligent undead troops, he was confident he could survive against stronger enemies.

Noland’s heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

He cast a glance at the Spectral Ripper standing before him.

Now he finally knew why no one had ever captured a Spectral Ripper before.

Because this kind of undead creature could use magic!

And also magic with an invisibility effect!

Just a second ago, it appeared out of nowhere in front of Noland, lunging at him with its bone knife.

Its appearance was more or less as Division Intelligence Unit Three had speculated.

Small stature, holding a blade, with a tubular mouth.

Overall, it looked like an upright-walking anteater.

Just as Noland was closely observing the Spectral Ripper, this organ-eating undead creature entered an invisible state.

The Undead Runes on its body emitted a hazy black light.

The light faded from strong to weak, rapidly dimming. The Spectral Ripper disappeared in the changing glow.

Before the creature turned invisible, Noland cast his Deconstruction spell. [System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct the “Spectral Ripper”.]

[Estimated consumption is 230 points of Energy, which can achieve 100% degree of deconstruction.]

[You currently have 10 Points of Energy Value. Do you wish to confirm the deconstruction?]

[Notice! You have lost the target and cannot proceed with the deconstruction temporarily.]

“It only takes 230 points of Energy to fully deconstruct. Not bad, it’s relatively cheap. ”

Noland nodded slowly, his mind whirring with new ideas.

Once he has enough Energy in the future, he will certainly seize the opportunity to deconstruct the Spectral Ripper.

Nothing else, only for the Undead Runes on its fur.

If his guess is correct, the Spectral Ripper achieves invisibility by relying on the Undead Runes.

Once he gets these Undead Runes, could he use his Rune Staff to enchant his clothes?

Would clothes imbued with this magic gain the power of invisibility? Would it mean that both the person and the clothes would turn invisible, or just the clothes…

Noland was curious, but now was not the time to delve into this.

As he continued to climb the stairs, he cast a lot of deconstruction spells.

The system feedback message showed that all of the Deconstruction spells he threw did not encounter the invisible Spectral Ripper.

He didn’t know if it was because the Spectral Ripper had already left, or if the Deconstruction spell could not treat invisible things as deconstruction targets.

Noland did not linger, he had to deal with the Frost Skeleton Mage below.

This undead, capable of controlling Frost Power, is very likely to possess intelligence and would be unaffected by “Soul Bribery”.

In order to avoid direct confrontations with it, Noland had to quicken his pace and could not afford to waste time here.

Walking through the water, his steps splashing, he leapt over the soldiers’ remains.

As he glanced at the dead soldiers, he did not pause, and continued past the blood-stained steps.

At the temporary camp on the ground level of the Grave Vault.

Several soldiers rushed out from different staircases, hastily heading towards Lieutenant Sterling Parker’s tent.

The moment they entered the tent, they couldn’t wait to report their findings.

“Report! Chief Officer! We’ve discovered a large number of magic traps within Staircase 3! The reconnaissance squad was attacked by Skeleton Archers while clearing the traps. One soldier has been killed, and two have been seriously injured. Requesting reinforcement!”

“Report! The water level in Staircase 2 is serious. The Underground River has flooded one-third of the staircase. We urgently need a water pump!”

“Report! The water situation in Staircase 1 is also severe, and the water contains highly toxic substances!
