[Continuous Slash]!
Little Mantis quickly stepped forward and activated its skill. Immediately, an overwhelming sword light enveloped the monster.

With a series of damage, the undead archer’s health decreased by half.
This was normal.
Although the two were both Bronze-grade monsters, Little Mantis had been enhanced by the synthesis. Both its health and attack power completely crushed the undead archer.
Moreover, the mantis moved much faster than the undead archer.
In a situation where it could not quickly pull away, the assassin was far stronger than the archer.
Thus, it could be seen that the entire battle was practically one-sided.
Within a few rounds, the small mantis reduced its health to less than 5%.
Lorne stepped forward and activated the merging simulator.
“Ding!”
“Are you sure you want to use the monster [Undead Archer] as the prototype material? Please confirm other materials.”

Unwrapping the sack, Lorne fell silent.
There were now four available materials in its bag.
The “Blood-soaked Rusted Iron Sword” was a material that could not be used here.
The “Dried Undead Heart” was a special material that Lorne planned to keep for the final boss of the dungeon.
Therefore, he only had two choices now.
Unknown Light Bone or Continuous Burning Flame.
Due to the fact that it was not easy to obtain the materials, Lorne believed that using only one material to transmute them was the safest solution. After all, the speed at which pets were replaced was very fast, and using too many materials would be a waste.
As for which one to use?
There was already an answer in Lorne’s mind.
[Unknown Light Bone] could be used at the same time as the other two materials.
However, [Continuous Burning Flame] was different from other materials.
So the answer was obvious.
“Continuous Burning Flame.” Lorne made his choice.
“Ding!”
“A prototype material and a body part material have been confirmed. The synthesis formula is: (Undead Archer) + (Continuous Burning Flame) = (???)”
“The cost is 1 gold coin. Would you like to merge?”
The formula appeared and there was a hint of joy on Lorne’s face.
The cost of synthesis was 1 gold coin, which meant that the final product would possess a higher quality.
The greatest possibility was Silver-grade.
At this moment, Lorne wished for a miracle to happen.
After all, when Rimuru was first created, it only cost five gold coins.
The final product was a Bronze-rank Boss.
If he were to weigh it using the price, Lorne had some hope of obtaining a Boss pet now.
Thinking of this, Lorne became even more excited.
As he chose to confirm, a familiar light enveloped the two materials.
In the complicated magic circle, the prototype material and body part were magically fused.
When the light vanished, what appeared before him was an undead in a black cloak. Black flames burned on its body, making it impossible to see its true appearance.
But overall, one could still clearly see the changes in its body.
For example, the mottled and rotting armor started to glow with brilliance following the enhancement of the monster’s quality. Fire patterns were engraved on the armor and longbow, and they were glowing faintly. The overall appearance was very different from ordinary undead archers.
At the same time, a pleasant reminder sounded in his ear.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on obtaining the Silver Monster: Fire of Death!”

Introduction: The undead awakened by the evil power, under special circumstances, has been greatly enhanced, becoming an even more terrifying undead flame.

After combining with the flames, the undead archer had indeed evolved into a Silver monster.
Although it was not a Boss, Lorne was not disappointed. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised.
It was because he did not expect the Silver monster that had been created to be so powerful.
Although Fire of Death was only Level 1, its attributes were already much higher than a Level 10 undead archer.
Not only that, but its skills had also undergone tremendous changes.
Among them, [Fire of Death – Rain of Arrows] changed from the original ‘80% physical damage’ to ‘100% magic damage’. The range changed from the original (8×8) to (10×10) yards. The area of effect was greatly enhanced.
Secondly!
[Power of the Undead] had become [Fire of Death]!
The effect went from “increasing 50 Attack Power” to “dealing an additional 20% magic damage per attack.”
Without a doubt, the latter was more effective than the former.
In addition, it was magic damage!
When a physical archer received magical damage, it would deal greater overall damage. No matter how thick the armor, it would still deal considerable damage.
Of course, in Lorne’s opinion, this was not the strongest skill of the Fire of Death.
It was only truly powerful after killing ten targets.
At that time, it would obtain 10% critical strike chance, 30% attack speed, and 50% critical strike effect!
Under such ferocious buffs, could any monster of the same level defeat it?
“The monsters produced by dungeons are indeed different.”
“I suppose I should replace the minotaur too.”
Lorne glanced at the nearby undead swordsmen. These powerful life leech monsters were not so easily found outside the dungeon.
However, the undead swordsmen here were still too ordinary.
Elite monsters were not bad, but Lorne had a higher goal.
He wanted a Bronze-grade Undead Swordsman and used it to create a powerful Silver-grade pet.
“There’s no hurry. I’ve just started tackling the dungeon.”
Lorne felt that there had to be a stronger undead swordsman deeper in the valley. When the time came, he would not waste the iron sword material in his bag.
With that in mind, Lorne did not hesitate anymore and returned to the battlefield with his pets.
