After helping Asia settle down and helping her place her things as well as making sure that if anything happened to Asia it would be on their ass to the fallen angels. I went down to my basement aka. My man cave and thought about what I should do next.

I could keep grinding cursed tool creation and curtain but as I was writing down my current avenues I had to gain more power I was suddenly struck by a bolt of inspiration.

Quickly, I went up and informed Mittelt and Kalawarner that I would be gone for around several hours before setting up a secondary chameleon curtain to ensure anonymity and using ID Create: Cursed Forest.

I appeared back at the cursed forest ready to do an absolutely devious lick.

I brought out my tome and summoned my brigade of the undead. Just these guys alone would be enough to exterminate most spirits here including the weaker minibosses like Curse of Oni but that simply isn't enough for me.

Sitting down I deployed a simple domain before having one of my wights float above me and scream hell while most of my undead went out to hunt curses in groups.

Attracted by the scream of the wight the cursed spirits started heading toward me while I still looked undisturbed. And inside I wasnt, I was confident in my plan working. After all, if one principle can be applied to a technique then why can't it be applied to others?

Soon enough, a large humanoid cursed spirit charged at me ahead of the others. But the moment the spirit set foot inside the simple domain I erected...

*Stab!*

A large bone spear erupted from the ground the moment the spirit had stepped inside. And with accuracy pierced its skull before it could respond. The spirit died almost instantly and the stake dissipated.

I did it! I was right!

I remembered the basically sure hit mechanism of the simple domain quick draw technique. Since that technique's almost sure hit relies on the mechanisms of the simple domain then why couldn't that same concept be applied to other avenues?

It is almost impossible to avoid Batto(Quick Draw) while inside the simple domain due to the fact the technique can sense how you are moving in the domain and intercepts it. After all, you are already inside the technique.

The moment you step inside the range it activates. So why not apply the automatic hit effect of a simple domain to grave buster?

Even better is that with a simple domain, the accuracy is massively enhanced to the point where it could even be considered a sure hit if your agility was below 100. The reason being that just like with Batto the technique is already cast beforehand, it just gets released the moment you step inside.

I used level 30 of the skill as a baseline so I spent 300 Ce with every kill. A bit expensive and the flaw was that the prepared technique cant be done in a horde situation so I just made do with the technique being cast every time somebody stepped inside instead.

If I had the cheaty six eyes I could even automatically calculate the strength of whatever stepped inside the domain and release a grave buster of exact strength to conserve CE but I did not have that option.

Yet.

Currently, I will call this barrier of mine the auto impaler. Due to me being in an early part of the dungeon, there were no mobs that could actually hurt me at the moment as long as I do not forget to take my mana potions. This method gave me a ridiculous boost in Simple Domain and Grave Buster proficiency.

I was leveling up necromancer FAST thanks to both my undead hunting throughout the dungeon as well as my spike domain. While my undead cleared spirits and my domain did the same I decided to do some alchemy crafting while I was already grinding.
