After fusing three E-rank Skeletons, Noan completely skipped the E+ rank and directly advanced to D-rank, which filled him with joy.

    He could feel the power in his body increasing. Although the boost wasn''t significant, it was still more than enough for now.

    Opening the status panel of the Skeleton Shielder, Noan began to examine its details.

    ...

    Name: Skeleton Shielder (Mutated)

    Race: Skeleton

    Rank: D

    Description: Possesses extreme defensive capabilities and high regeneration speed. As long as it has sufficient energy crystals, the Skeleton Shielder can continuously regenerate indefinitely.

    ...

    Seeing the information, Noan couldn''t help but smile.

    "Now I have a balanced team: Urlgug as the Shaman, Vylyss as the Mage, Skeleton Swordsman as the Warrior, Skeleton Hunter as the Archer, Skeleton Shielder as the Tank, and Urlgan as the Berserker."

    "And more importantly... it seems that the chance of summoning mutated monsters from E-rank and above is exceptionally high when I use Almighty Fusion."

    He recalled how Skeleton Hunter and Skeleton Swordsman were mutated variants, possessing superior stats to ordinary Skeletons.

    Now, with the Skeleton Shielder, his squad was growing even stronger.

    Looking around the room, Noan noticed that a few Skeletons remained unfused due to the lack of a sufficient number for the next fusion process.

    [Ding! Would you like to convert the remaining soldiers into ''food'' for your other soldiers?]

    "Heh?!" Noan frowned as he saw the notification appear.

    He stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before ultimately deciding not to use this function.

    This conversion ability was mainly for Lords who lacked energy crystals and needed to recycle weaker units to strengthen their stronger ones.

    However, Noan wasn''t short on energy crystals. He had plenty.

    He decided to keep his remaining 1 F-rank Skeleton, 1 F+ Skeleton, and 1 E-rank Skeleton for future fusion.

    Of course, Noan assigned the remaining Skeletons to guard his territory.

    As for the Skeleton Shielder, he didn''t want anyone else to know about its existence.

    After all, he was merely an F-rank Lord, meaning he should only be able to summon F-rank soldiers.

    Until Vylyss and the others arrived, Shielder would be his trump card.

    BAM! BAM!

    Suddenly, loud banging noises echoed outside like someone was pounding aggressively on his wooden door.

    Noan frowned, signaling Shielder to remain hidden inside the house and be ready to strike at his command.

    After preparing himself, he cautiously approached the door.

    BAM! BAM! BAM!

    The knocking intensified.

    Instead of opening the door immediately, Noan stayed inside and shouted in a firm voice, "Who is it?"

    "Open the damn door!" A young man''s voice came from outside.

    Noan hesitated for a moment, then decided to unlock the door.

    When the door swung open, he saw three young men standing before him.

    However, his eyes immediately locked onto the one with blond hair, who wore an arrogant expression and a sneering smirk, radiating undisguised contempt toward Noan.

    "You are...?" Noan began.

    The blond-haired youth stuffed his hands into his pockets, scoffing at Noan. "You''re new, aren''t you?"

    "What do you mean?" Noan frowned.

    "Are you deaf?" A second young man, standing behind the blond one, barked like a rabid dog. "Do you even know who this is? This is Big Brother Hawke, an E+ rank Lord!"

    "System," Noan spoke: "Summon a hero."

    [Ding! Summoning in progress.]

    Once again, a magic circle appeared on the ground, emitting an eerie gray light.

    Then, a large spider crawled out from the summoning circle.

    Its body was about the size of a basketball, and its eight sturdy legs lifted it off the ground.

    A red sigil resembling two wings was etched onto its silken abdomen, and three pairs of eyes gleamed atop its head.

    The spider''s entire body was jet black, but instead of evoking pure fear, it exuded an elegant and mysterious beauty.

    [Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully summoned Black Spy - Rank F+.]

    ...

    Name: Black Spy

    Rank: F+

    Description:

    Can use venom to eliminate enemies. Moves so silently that few can detect its presence—a perfect assassin. Its silk threads have steel-like durability yet remain highly flexible.

    Note: Six F+ rank materials are required to evolve.

    ...

    Seeing that Black Spy was only F+ rank, Noan wasn''t disappointed.

    After all, he was only an F-rank Lord—summoning a hero at F+ rank was already a great success.

    Besides... with his ''Almighty Fusion'' talent, he could evolve Black Spy to a higher rank if he had enough resources.

    Despite being the size of a basketball, Black Spy wasn''t as frightening as it appeared.

    Instead, it was surprisingly affectionate.

    The moment it was summoned, it crawled onto Noan''s shoulder, rubbing its head against his cheek.

    To his surprise, there was no discomfort or chills like expected.

    Instead, Black Spy''s exterior was soft—almost like a fine silk fabric.

    "If you like my shoulder so much, you can stay there," Noan chuckled.

    Black Spy rubbed its head against his cheek even more eagerly as if understanding his words.

    Despite its sharp, sturdy legs, they didn''t pierce or scratch Noan''s skin.

    Curious, Noan used his finger to scratch its head gently.

    The spider remained still, seemingly enjoying the sensation, happily curled on his shoulder as he petted it.

    "I can''t just keep calling you ''Black Spy''... so from now on, your name will be Zhisse. How does that sound?"

    Zhisse perked up, waving its eight legs excitedly as if agreeing to the name.

    Noan found Zhisse incredibly interesting.

    Even though it was only F+ rank, its intelligence seemed far superior to most creatures of the same level.

    His next focus was on evolving Zhisse, which required six F+ rank materials.

    But he wasn''t in a hurry—he knew that with his two soldier summoning attempts tomorrow, he would easily gather enough materials to evolve Zhisse.

    He then turned toward the backpack resting on the bed, opened it, and checked its contents.

    To his delight, the energy crystals he had collected from the Singularity were still inside!

    "System, I want to level up my Lord Rank to Level 1," Noan declared.

    For a moment, he felt a hint of nervousness.

    After all, inside the Singularity, he had been unable to level up, meaning this might be his only real chance.

    [Ding! Please pay 1,000 F-rank energy crystals to level up.]
