But they weren’ttamedin the truest sense of the word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bond he shared with them wasn’t one of spiritual harmony or mutual agreement. It was more like a master-servant connection that was closer to a master-subordinate relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This subtle difference might just be the key that makes [Taming] work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned Spartan—his undead High Human mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magic circle flared on the floor, and Spartan emerged, clad in his usual black armor with a hood drawn low over his face, concealing his features in shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing new to observe. Michael hadn’t summoned him for conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting a moment, he activated [Taming].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he did, a surge of instinctive knowledge rushed into him—the same way all system skills worked. He didn’t need to be taught. He just knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, he followed the flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael stepped forward, eyes fixed on Spartan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand hovered slightly in the air, fingers spread, as though reaching for something not quite visible. The knowledge that had rushed into his mind when he activated [Taming] guided his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glow gathered around his palm. Unlike the dark energy that surrounded his necromantic summons, this one pulsed with a strange silver-white hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spartan didn’t move. He didn’t flinch, resist, or react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply stood there, expressionless behind the faint shadows of his hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael pressed forward, palm glowing as it touched the chest plate of the High Human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael felt a pull. A flicker of something foreign brushing against the edge of his spirit. It wasn’t the full-force merging like when he bonded with Wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit different. But something oddly felt familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like déjà vu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a strange feeling of resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael’s brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact... things felt easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow on Michael’s palm intensified for a moment, then sank into Spartan’s armor and vanished with a quiet shimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft chime echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>> [Taming successful.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamed Creature: [2\u002F5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undead High Human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally he should have a smile on his face thanks to his success at casting the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why has my connection with you weakened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please vote to support the novel and comment your thoughts on the last volumes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-05-28T17:47:38.197Z","2026-06-01T04:28:28.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4200741b4ee0774752f30bca05dae7e158a2e9c4c5d2f5954d1d7c947b931a2","evolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-chapter-436","evolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-chapter-434",970,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-cover.jpg"]
