(Attempt will be made to minimize attribute description or attribute will be placed at the author’s say)

These were Dean McKenzie’s current attributes.

They could no longer be described as sensational, but rather, they were beyond exaggerated.

So much so that in terms of attributes alone, he was more terrifying than the Netherworld Skeleton Knight from the Demon Box.

Of course, while attributes to some extent reflected one’s power, they were not the whole story.

If Dean McKenzie were to fight the Netherworld Skeleton Knight now, without taking the initiative to trap it in a Bone Prison, he wouldn’t have much confidence in his chances.

However, it would be a different story if Dean McKenzie reached Second-turn and learned the two Second-turn skills in his possession.

“If I can double my attributes by clearing the Second-turn on Nightmare Mode, by then, the Excellent Templates at Third-turn wouldn’t seem to pose a real threat.

At least, I should stand a chance against that knight, right?”

Under the blessings of his talents, Dean McKenzie’s combat power was now enormously exaggerated.

However, though Dean McKenzie increased his Strength, Physique, and Agility attributes, his main combat power still lay in his Spirit attribute.

After all, Dean McKenzie’s profession was a Necromancer, and the other attributes without the support of skills couldn’t generate much combat power.

If Dean McKenzie relied on the other attributes to fight, he could not only forget about reaching Third-turn, but even the First and Second-turn could easily beat him into submission.

But no matter how much combat power he had, he was happy as long as his attributes were increased.

Besides, Dean McKenzie had not only improved his attributes but also hadn’t forgotten about Old Six, Old Four, and Old Nine.

[You have used the Template Enhancement for the Summon Skeleton skill. Your Wraith Servant Doggy Six’s template is upgraded to Netherworld Flames Skeleton Mage!

Your Wraith Servant Doggy Four’s template is upgraded to Bone Shield Guard!

Your Wraith Servant Doggy Nine’s template upgraded to Bone Crossbow Archer!]

[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Six’s Spirit increases by 45 points, awakening the basic skill of the template, Netherworld Flames Hand]

[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Four’s Strength increases by 10 points, Physique increases by 35 points, awakening the basic skill of the template, Bone Shield Defense]

[Your Wraith Servant Doggy Nine’s Strength and Physique increase by 5 points, Agility increases by 35 points, awakening the template skill Bone Crossbow]

Three Excellent Templates were dispatched, and the strength of Old Six and the others was significantly enhanced to varying degrees.

However, even though their strength had been enhanced, they still remained within the medium range of Excellent Second-turn. They might be slightly stronger, but they were completely incomparable with Old Eight and Doggy Two.

Among them, Old Four and Old Nine were relatively dull.

Despite being upgraded to Excellent Templates, they still seemed somewhat awkward.

Old Six was different.

After the template was upgraded, it seemed particularly excited.

Very happily, it began to lay bricks using the freshly awakened Netherworld Flames Hand.

Dean McKenzie was looking forward to this.

He felt that Old Six, as a mage, should be able to create some variety with its magic when laying bricks, right?

However, as soon as Old Six started, Dean McKenzie was immediately disappointed, as all the materials and tools were wasted.

It would have been better to use hands.

After all, using hands wouldn’t cause the tools and materials to be wasted.

Not only was Dean McKenzie disappointed, but Old Six was also dumbfounded.

Standing there stunned, looking at the tools and materials destroyed by its Flames Hand, it was dumbfounded for a long time before turning to look at Dean McKenzie.

Dean McKenzie immediately understood its meaning from its Pupil Fire.

I, Old Six, want to earn money!

At the headquarters of the Professional Alliance in Thorn Oak City, the door to the Chairman’s office was knocked upon.

In the office, Bruce Hodge, lounging in a cozy chair, drinking wine and eating meat, raised an eyebrow.

“Come in!”

Damon Martell at the door pushed it open.

With the door being opened, the office immediately became hardworking and simple. In the office, a dress-down Bruce Hodge was seriously dealing with Thorn Oak City affairs.

Every time he saw this, Damon Martell was filled with admiration.

“Mr. Chairman!”

“What is it, Damon Martell?”

“I came to report the news from Spring City.”

“News from Spring City?”

Upon hearing this, Bruce Hodge set down his work and lifted his head.

“Did Ennis Hawkins wake up?”

“No!”

Upon hearing that, Bruce Hodge became disappointed: “Then what news could there be from Spring City.”

“Chairman Anson Harris from Spring City has recently applied for a second-turn career resource for a professional named Dean McKenzie.”

“Dean McKenzie?”

Bruce Hodge raised an eyebrow: “Is he the professional who sent Ennis Hawkins back to Spring City as reported from there?”

Damon Martell continued, “Yes, and the event report from Spring City is also out, among which is about Dean McKenzie. It seems Dean McKenzie killed Breanna Holt and saved Ennis Hawkins from her!”

Bruce Hodge sneered at Damon Martell.

“Are you planning to move against this young man named Dean McKenzie?”

“Yes, it’s been almost 10 days since the incident started, and Ennis Hawkins hasn’t woken up yet. We wanted to send someone there, but Spring City declined.

Under such circumstances, it’s hard not to suspect whether Ennis Hawkins hasn’t woken up or doesn’t want to wake up!”

“So, you want to test it out?”

“Yes!”

“Then why choose this young man?”

“Firstly, the relationships between the people of Ennis Hawkins in Thorn Oak City are complex and intertwined, not easy to manipulate. One move may trigger a chain reaction.

Also, each of them holds significant status and power. If not handled well, it could lead to chaos and may not be easily successful.

Moving against that young man is different. It’s easier to succeed, and his relationship with Ennis Hawkins is good, he is likely a talent that Ennis Hawkins is grooming.

More importantly, there’s a ready-made reason to move against him.

About how he saved Ennis Hawkins from Breanna Holt, a three-turn level 80 professional, the Mirror Stand side wants to have a word with him.”

After listening to this, Bruce Hodge paused for a moment, and murmured with a furrowed brow: “Are you sure about this? And are you sure the young man is problematic?

If the young man is innocent, we can’t wrong him.

They are the future of the Alliance, we can’t harm a promising young man because of Ennis Hawkins.”

“Rest assured, I know what’s at stake, it’s just to coax out Ennis Hawkins. If Ennis Hawkins doesn’t come out and the young man turns out to be fine, I won’t go overboard.”

“Good, then you can proceed!”

“Yes!”

With Bruce Hodge’s permission, Damon Martell immediately left in a rush.

As soon as Damon Martell left, an undertone of wicked laughter appeared on Bruce Hodge’s face, and he snapped his fingers. A black shadow appeared next to him.

“Pay attention to Damon Martell’s action. Try to push him a bit further, if he doesn’t go overboard, help him. If necessary, kill the kid, I need Ennis Hawkins dragged out no matter what!”

The shadow behind Bruce Hodge nodded, and then disappeared.

With the shadow’s disappearance, the extravagance in Bruce Hodge’s room returned.

Spring City, Promotion Temple.

With the passing of around ten days, Dean McKenzie came to the Promotion Temple again.

Last time Dean McKenzie came for promotion,

This time Dean McKenzie also came for promotion.

Last time Dean McKenzie used resources provided by others for his promotion,

This time Dean McKenzie’s promotion resources came from others too.

Upon coming this time, Dean McKenzie was carrying a briefcase.

Inside were the promotion resources that Anson Harris had prepared for him.

These were enough for Dean McKenzie to commence the “nightmare difficulty” promotion.

Holding this case of materials, Dean McKenzie walked confidently into the Promotion Temple.

Just barely setting foot inside, a system prompt refreshed in front of Dean McKenzie’s eyes.

[Detected a professional that meets the career advancement requirements, do you want to start the promotion trial?]

“Yes!”

[Please choose the difficulty of the promotion trial!]

Dean McKenzie nodded, and the system prompt refreshed again. Soon after, the difficulty options appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.

[Simple, Normal, Hard, Nightmare]

There were four difficulties in total.

One more than when he made the first-turn. Of course, Dean McKenzie had four difficulties during his first turn as well.

“I wonder if there’s a higher difficulty after the nightmare mode!”

Dean McKenzie muttered while he selected[Nightmare Difficulty].

[You have selected[Nightmare Difficulty], please prepare the following materials…]

[Detected that you’ve prepared the necessary materials, do you want to start the trial?]

“Yes!”

Dean McKenzie agreed, a grey light fell, the briefcase in Dean McKenzie’s hand disappeared, and at the same time, Dean Mckenzie started to rise slowly in that grey light, finally ascending to the third floor of[Trial Temple].

When Dean Mckenzie reached the third floor of the Trial Temple, the familiar bronze door opened, and the familiar weightless sensation returned.

By the time Dean McKenzie came back to his senses, he was already in a dark, damp underground palace.

[Your trial challenge starts now!]

[Please find the boss of the current map and kill it!]
