บท 281: Undead Quintessence

"Where did those two go?" Alex suddenly appeared beside Sophie.

"They took the Death Spirit to wipe out the Minotaur camp," Sophie explained, recounting the intelligence from the Savage Plains. Alex was unconcerned; without the backing of the Beastman Empire, the Minotaur camp was a minor issue.

For forces below King level, Alex didn't need to intervene personally; the Death Spirit alone could handle it. However, Alex couldn't rely solely on the Death Spirit. 

Due to its unique nature, its level could always match Alex's without needing to worry about experience points. If the Death Spirit was used for everything, then Alex's other undead wouldn't have the chance to level up. 

Thus, the Death Spirit served as a safety net, while the bulk of the experience needed to be allocated to other undead.
