Necromancer Supreme System

If not for her two royal guards, she might have considered this as a losing fight, a fight that might destroy all the skeletons she gathered so far.

The fight continued for a whole ten minutes, and in the end, the five huge dinosaurs fell heavily on the ground, with a bang, one after another, while giving her a decent amount of XP.

"Finally," she sighed, as this fight alone caused her a bitter price of half of her skeletons being destroyed. She watched the piles of bones accumulated around her, as she shook her head in regret. She didn't know why, but though she won, she felt she was the losing side here.

"Never mind, the fight has already ended, I should get some decent skeletons from them," she muttered, trying to console herself, as she raised her staff and pointed it towards the dead monsters, "Death arises," she said.

Suddenly, the five monsters transformed into five large skeletons, taking the shape of the fallen dinosaurs. They were huge, strong, but what made them unique was that green luster that appeared over their bones.

Oya knew she had summoned a stronger form of skeletons, and her system, which went off radar for a while now, finally said:

Congratulations for summoning the frost bony dragon babies. They have the potential to grow stronger, evolve, to be like their ancestors, the frost bony dragons.'

'Frost bony dragons?' she asked, with some curiosity, as the name indicated how strong they were.

'It's one of the favorite units Ibro used in his past life, very strong, very unique, and they can fly,' the system said, expressing the good traits about the dragons.

'Hmm,' she chuckled, as once she heard Ibro favored them, she also favored them as well.

'Is this a coincidence, or the whole monsters can be their babies too?' she asked her system, to make sure this wasn't a fluke.

'The whole monsters,' the system briefly answered.

"Great," she suddenly shouted at her skeleton army, which got shrunk in number, but got much increase in strength, "Let's go and kill more dragon babies," she pointed towards a nearby group of five monsters, ordering her skeletons to attack them.

The next fight she lost another big chunk of her skeletons, which didn't affect her mood anymore. She knew she was replacing quantity with quality, a decent and always a winner trade off.

So, she just summoned another five dragon babies, and then she started to attack the other monsters all around. The pace of her battles started to catch up, reducing time spent in each fight gradually, with more monsters to fall, and much more baby dragons to join her.

At the end of the day, she collected over one hundred baby dragons, and she didn't lose any of them during the fights. On the other hand, she had lost the entire skeleton army she once had, except for the special monsters and the two royal guards.

Despite losing all these great numbers in a short time, she wasn't worried at all, as she knew her overall power was growing much stronger than before. She had this feeling that this cycle, this process, would be repeated one time after another.

Each time she was tasked to kill a higher level monster she would have to deal with this rough exchange, but with her current experience she knew she could handle it.

"One hundred down, three hundred left to go, come on, let's kill some more," she led her small army towards the next group of monsters. The fact that her fight time was considerably long, she didn't need to wait until the monsters would spawn again, as she would find a couple of monster groups wandering here and there.

That made her hand busy, with no time to rest as before. The moment she felt great exhaustion came when she exceeded the two hundred mark, and then she couldn't fight anymore, and needed some rest.

"Go on your own, and kill the monsters in here, then come back to me," she ordered, as she rested on a tree nearby, trying to catch her breaths. She watched her skeletons attacking monsters, plus two hundred strong skeletons attacking five poor monsters was an overkill. She knew that, but when she recalled the stressful starting moments, she felt these monsters deserved this harsh and brutal treatment.

Her skeletons were numerous enough to handle the monsters on their own, while she stayed on the side, watching and resting, with a wide grin over her face.

She just took some rest before she returned again to her skeletons and started fighting the monsters. Even during her rest, she didn't let the killed monsters alone, as she kept using his death arise skill repeatedly.

Killing four hundred monsters seemed easy before, but it took her over twelve hours to barely have them killed.

'Good work, you have killed four hundred level fifteen monsters. Select the skeletons you want to upgrade, and do you want to continue the mission now or select another one?'

The system didn't delay to send her it's greeting, her rewards, her level gained, plus the familiar question.

'Sure, let's continue killing, and this one, this one, this one, all will be upgraded,' she said with burning eyes, as she wanted to see how her baby dragons would end up after evolving.

'Ah, sorry, these are very special kinds of skeletons, and you need to achieve a higher criteria for them to be upgraded,' the system said, pouring cold water on her wild expectations.

'What?!!!' she exclaimed in shock, 'why can't I do that?' she asked, with an obvious unsatisfied look on her face, 'can't they be upgraded?' she asked.

'They can,' the system replied, 'but it would need much more accomplishment of you. The death aura you have gathered so far isn't enough even to upgrade a single one of them,' the system added, explaining the issue here.

'Death aura?" she asked.

'Yes, everything here works through the death aura. Every time you kill a monster, part of its aura would change into a death aura, which I store for you,' the system said.

'Aha, that's why you kept asking for a specific number of monsters to kill,' she said, pausing for a moment, before suggesting, 'what if you kept storing the aura until it's enough to upgrade one of these baby dragons?'

'That would take at least two more cycles, and in return you won't get any levels, plus this would be hard,' the system said, expressing all the cons here.

Oya didn't think twice about that, as she knew the newly upgraded skeleton would be so strong that she would level up easier later on. in addition to that, she would gain at least one level during this task, gained from the killed monsters here, which meant her level wouldn't stagnate.

'Sure, I agree to that,' she said.

'Good, then you need to kill one thousand level sixteen monsters, and then you can upgrade one of your baby dragons,' the system said, and the number he just requested was so high that made her scalp numb.

'Ok,' she just said that, before taking a deep breath, and exhaling while moving to another area to level up rather than here.

She went ahead to look for level sixteen monsters, which was like level fifteen monsters, but slightly bigger in size.

"Good, they are baby dragons as well," she muttered, as she took a quick glance over the place. there were many groups of monsters, but she didn't want to select any strong looking group, with more than five monsters in it.

In the last quest, during her battle with one group, she might accidently trigger the other group Aggro, which ended up well back then. Right now she was dealing with level sixteen monsters, with skeletons coming from way lower than this level. she had to be more careful, until she had her own skeletons army of level sixteen.

"Attack this group," she pointed to the distant rear, where there were only two groups of five monsters standing near each other, away from most monsters.

They were the safest ones to attack, and so she had ordered them to go and kill them. When the battle kicked off, she noticed she was slightly overprotected, as she had on her side over four hundred skeletons of baby dragons, which made the fight with these ten monsters a one sided struggle.

"Agh, ok, I will try to aim bigger next time… go there and attack those five groups," she pointed to the other end of the whole area, as he skeletons moved at once to attack those distant monsters.

"Death arises," she used her skill at once, summoning the first level sixteen skeletons in her army. "go and have fun with you brothers and sisters," she jokingly said, as the newly summoned skeletons moved towards the big pile of moving bones over there.

"I had to find some strong looking, smart skeleton to lead them," she sighed, as she knew she was taking slow decisions, not bold enough for fear of losing the whole skeletons she just summoned.

Killing one thousand monsters was a long task, and trying to do it by killing five monsters and ten monsters at a time wasn't the ideal approach, it was the snail approach.
