Twilight Knight Summons

##############################

Thanks for the suggestions in the previous chapter!!

################################

Time passed, Leroy didn't left his room during this time.

Succesfully refined High Grade Undead Essence!.

Using the orb, he refined all the essence he got from killing the demonic beasts into Undead Essence. He then further refined them using the orb into essence of higher ranks. At the end, he ran out of essences.

He has tried to refine the high grade undead essence and superior bone dust further, but after a few failed attemps, he guessed that he would need to be stronger before doing so.

'320 Superior Bone Dust bags, 950 High Bone Dust's, 4,500 Refined Dust.' Leroy counted the items on him, each bag was the same size of those that the monsters at the undead realm would drop to him.

'20 High Grade Undead Essence, 80 Mid Grade ones and 500 Low Grades' Each monster would usually contain a single essence, only High Lord or Great Lords had Mid Grade Essences, all monsters below that rank would drop Low Grade essences with no exception.

'It is time, I should be able to create a similar creature' Leroy inmediatly went to the simulation device on the Library.

There, he only simulated the bone structure of the new creature using mainly the bones of Silverado as a reference and the superior bone dust, he ingraved the high grade undead essence to the creature. His Magic Crystals were consumed by the thousands quickly.

He continued until the day ended, he didn't try to simulate the equipment that the creature would use, else, he feared that even a million Magic Crystals wouldn't be enough to sustain the Simulation Device.

He focused on increasing the physical aspect when designing it, increasing it's capability to perform feats that would put a heavy burden in a human body with ease. It didn't have thick or thin bones, but rather they were balanced into strength and agility of movement.

He then used various ores and materials into creating an armour. It wasn't made for players, so he didn't had to bother about failure but more about the design. He wasn't stingy when it came to materials, and various epic rank crafting materials were used in its creation, with the heat of the Starfire Flame, it still took hours for them to melt.

He shaped the helmet, it had two small curved horns at the sides with precious metal covering the position of the eyes. The arms three steel blades at the side and the chain mail gloves were covered with black leather.

The chest had small metal spikes raising before the shoulders and two lines of red that curved below the armpit. The abdomen area had a red piece of triangular cloth with the Raven Sanctuary's logo on it. The legs were tightly shaped with metal.

The whole armor was shining dark color. He spent more than a day giving shape to it.

Next he turned on to the sword, he melted various metal after hours and started shape and hammer them.

After more than a day, the sword finally started to take shape, almost as big as the two meter tall knight, the sword had a handle revested in black, the blade had a disk near the handle with a beautiful gem embedd on it, this was the most costly part of the sword and he used a Legendary crafting material to give form to it. The blade had golden runes that ramificated from the gem into it's body.

The knight had a very luxurious appearence and the sword he wielded gave a sense of powerfull strength.

Leroy had wasted almost four days on the process, but it was still not finished. Next he started refining the High grade undead essences into the knight, the fist one he took out was Silverado's Essence that he refined into Undead Essence, it gave off a strong aura of death. Four more hours passed until he was finally done giving the creature the essence, he then took out another one and also started refining it.

Two more days passed by and Leroy finally gave the monster twelve High Grade Undead Essence. It now released a frightening aura that would made even Boss monsters cower. He then took many skillbooks, most were dropped by Silverado while only a few special skills didn't. Two of the skills were Tier 2 Taboo Skills, they required a high completion rate to learn but could display power of higher tier skills.

Next, he started the process of giving the creature the skills, also reshaping it's intelligence in the process, trying his best to increase the talent of it into learning new techniques and not just the given skills.

After more than ten days since he started, he was finally satisfied with the results.

System: You have created a new summoning spell. How would you like to name it?

"Twilight Knight Summon" Leroy replied, he used most of the Twilight Sect techniques he could when creating the new undead monster.

System: New skill succesfully created. "Twilight Knight Summon"

Leroy inmediatly used the skill, and ten tall knights with massive intimidating aura and demeanor were summoned at his side.

The skill wasn't completed yet, but he really liked what he saw.

The use of Epic and Legendary ranked materials used on their armor and weapon didn't affect their combat power as much as it would on a player, they didn't even have a rank as it where only usable for the summoned creatures. But the aura of the materials used still couldn't be hidden.

Leroy looked at each knight in satisfaction. 'They sure don't disappoint the Twilight Sect style'

Twilight Knight (Grand Lord Rank)

Level: 39

HP: 7,000,000/7,000,000

This was by far the strongest creature he had seen, he felt that even though Silverado had four times their hp, in terms of combat the Twilight Knights would be superior despite being just a Summon Skill.

But it wasn't all, he still had more essences and superior bones. A flying creature would definetly be very useful. He started creating a new type of summon skill, this one would be a raven.

After an entire week, Leroy left his room and walked by the streets of Star-Moon City. A raven flying on the air.

Twilight Raven (Grand Lord Rank)

Level: 39

HP: 950,000/950,000

The raven creature was definetly not a match for the Twilight Knights in combat, but their purpose was enterely different from the start. They would be used as scouts and deliver items. Other summons would only have a single function related to combat or exploration, but his class allowed him to teach its creatures other things.

The Twilight Raven could share with him what they saw or heard, he used a precious summoner skill as a reference for it. Different from the Twilight Knights, the raven had an ordinary appearence, others wouldn't note the undead aura of it unless they used special means, this was what took most of his time when creating it.

The creation of both summon creatures left him with only two high grade essences and three bags of superior bone dust, of course there were many of other lower ranked ones.

During this period of time, Old Pat was too busy dealing with matters of the guild. Most large guilds contacted him making offers for high grade equipment that the Grand Lord monster droped. Leroy gave him all the spare equipment and just one epic rank one.

The guild received better quests from the npcs after the town defense quest.

Entering the Guild Residence, Old Pat, Louis, BadHalo, Ford, Felicity and many others were currently on a table, Leroy approached and took a seat.

"Finally everyone is here" Pat said.

"Raven Goods has started selling many items in different kingdoms, the profit margin is big. The materials that Leroy obtained sold very well at Blackwing City. We are facing only one problem, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion is currently starting to suppress our branch on Black Dragon Empire's Imperial City, even though they are located at Apocalypse Empire, the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion sent forces and threatened all players who buyed items from our shop." Old Pat said.

"We currently have members gathering intelligence on some empires and kingdoms. It'll take time to expand the network any further" Louis added.

"Lifestyle players, specially alchemist, has increased their rank quickly. The amount and quality of their potions also increased" Felicity reported and looked at Leory with an amused smile.

"The guild has received a quest from a Duke, it asked us to clear an old mine populated by monsters" BadHalo gave his report.

"A mine? It could provide a good income of ores" Old Pat eyes lit up when he heard this.

"The information says it's a mine with various ores, but not relatively special ones" BadHalo added.

"We are outgrowing Star-Moon Kingdom, our cooperation with Zero Wing and other guilds also means lower resources here. We need to expand over to an Empire, in the future we'll sell our shops in other cities over to Zero Wing. As players are stronger, more of them can afford the teleportation fees, if they want our items they can come here to Star-Moon City where our shop branch is located." Old Pat said.

"Our foces has cleared the 50-man team dungeons, but are having some problems to clear the 100-man ones.

"I'll leave for a while before heading to Black Dragon City" Leroy said.

Old Pat nodded. "Good, we'll move our base to an empire soon then, It'll take a few days to make the preparations, I need to ask for the others opinion" Everyone other than Leroy and Felicity had happy expressions on their faces, Star-Moon Kingdom was too small for them to develop.

Leroy was exchanging private messages with Robb at the time they talked.

"Where is Katakuri, Aeden and the others?" Leroy asked him.

"They have entered some door towards a Trial of Gods" Robb replied.

"Alright, what about Mark and Elise?" Leroy made another question.

"They have already found a place, he will be able to leave in a few days at most." Robb replied and asked "Has it come to that already?"

"Soon, they are very displeased by contracts and recruitment" Leroy replied "We'll talk later"

"Alright" Robb said.

"I'll be going, then" Leroy said to those at the meeting and stood up. He took out a silver scroll and activated it.

------------------------

Sage's Town.

Under the management of Lucian, the town had many undeads working on reconstructing some buildings and roads.

Leroy walked a short distance to the chief's building, it was in much better conditions now.

"Master, you're back" Lucian greeted him on the entrance.

"Yes, how are things going?" Leroy asked

"Currently, we are remodeling and contructing what we can, we lack manpower and more building designs that were lost with time" Lucian explained. "No more problems regarding security has appeared on town since the creation of the guards. Many more skeletons has joined the town guards and the army in hopes of archieving the new class" he continued "About the Magic Crystal Mine, it'll take some time before we can start mining it, we have more urgent priorities now".

Only now did Leroy noticed that the system didn't recognize the Twilight Knights as a class like the Raven Knights. He didn't mind, though, he wanted them to be only his, they would be one of his signature summons.

"Good, here are the items I've managed to obtain" Leroy passed many vials with the undead essences and bags with bone dust on them.

"So many..." Lucian was happy to see the resources growing.

"Use as many as you need yourself, and the rest to hire skeletons into rebuilding the town and rewards for members of our army." Leroy give the commands. "I'll go buy some skills now".

"Yes, I'll take care of everything" Lucian replied and bowed. He really respected his master, not only because of their relationship but he was even more extraordinary than Vlaric at that time, this was reflected by his custom made class or his capability to gather resources for them so quickly.

Visiting the shop, the items here were no longer as appealing as the first time, but the skills would still be usefull. With some essences and bone dust on him, he visited the shops that sold the skills he wanted. He brought the Bone Spike, Bone Wall and Bone Mastery.

The bone spike skill could deal physical damage based on his magic damage. The wall was similar, it had a good physical defense based on his magic power, while the Bone Mastery was a passive that increased the effect of bone-related spells by 5%.

What he wanted to do now, was to level up the skills while Lucian dealed with the town and army here.

Leroy left the town and simply started walking in one direction.
