Chapter 31: Chapter 30: Chose Resurrection Technique due
to the urge for Stability—1
Translator: 549690339 )
Mu Yuan’s decision to evolve Dead Bone was a well-considered one.
He immediately ruled out the option of evolving all the Little Skeletons. Considering most of them were only at level one or two, their combat abilities wouldn’t be significantly enhanced after evolution.
That was mostly due to his financial constraints.
Even though his daily income of Soul Sand had exceeded 3oog, he still couldn’t provide uninterrupted training for all types of soldiers. He could only prioritize the cultivation of his trump cards and main forces.
Bone Three and Bone Four, among the first batch of skeletons, had reached relatively high levels, generally around LV4.
They were already proficient in skill energy manipulation, and it wouldn’t take them long to learn the spear-throwing skill after evolution. He would be able to quickly muster an army with long-range attack capabilities.
However,
Mu Yuan still chose Dead Bone.
Given Dead Bone’s ultra-high level of zero-order 6 and its extraordinary energy reserve and skillful technique compared to other skeletons, the further evolution of Dead Bone was undoubtedly worthwhile.
He was also curious about what skill Dead Bone would acquire during
evolution.
What if it unexpectedly turned out to be some divine skill?
This was a huge gamble!
As the autumn wind began to blow, Dead Bone, carrying the hopes of all the skeletons, walked slowly towards the Lord s Altar.
Mu Yuan had been waiting there early.
With the excitement of drawing cards, he had taken a bath and burned incense early on. Everything was ready, just waiting for the miracle of evolution!
“Begin.”
Dead Bone was also filled with anticipation.
This was the power of the Great Lord, and this time, it swore to reclaim its
glory and become a truly stable skeleton.
Evolution.
Evolution!
A blazing white light enveloped Dead Bone’s body and under its glowing
brilliance, the prompt bell kept ringing.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: Your troop, ‘Skeleton Warrior (rare*), bathes in the Miracle Light, undergoes metamorphosis, and has evolved into ‘Skeleton General (rare***
)’…”
Skeleton General is the higher-order unit of Skeleton Warriors, and this was something Mu Yuan had expected.
He had gone through a lot of literature about it.
There was a case where a player used the ‘Skeleton Soldier’s Heritage Stone’, met a rich woman during exploration, and with her financial support, the player spent a fortune buying a large number of treasures and higher-order Heritage Stones to promote his rank to a Skeleton Warrior, and then to a Skeleton General.
Sometimes a Great Lord, out of nostalgia, would invest a lot of resources to cultivate the early Skeleton Soldiers, the Skeleton Warriors who had performed meritoriously for him.
A large amount of data indicated that the Skeleton General is the pinnacle of
the Little Skeleton Series.
That was the peak.
Of course, the Skeleton General was already a rare three-star formidable umt- a unit that most players could only wish for.
But,
“Perhaps this is indeed the limit for the Little Skeleton, but it is definitely not the limit for Evolution Points, next time, we choose to continue to increase the points.”
As his mind raced, Mu Yuan’s heart slowly lifted.
“Prompt: Your troop ‘Skeleton General1 has awakened the talent ‘Death
Extraction’ during the evolution process.”
‘Death Extraction: By killing enemies, absorb their death essence, which can slightly enhance the strength and spiritual power of the unit, and moderately enhance the unit’s energy. This enhancement is permanent, but has an upper limit, which is related to the unit’s level.’
“Is it a talent rather than a skill?”
“It’s said that units above Excellence level have a chance to possess talents. Compared to skills, talents have a broader prospect and application space and are also rarer.”
“Dead Bone’s evolution this time actually awakened a talent?
“And, this talent seems to be strong. If we ignore the increase in physical and mental energy, it’s like evolving by killing monsters. This power is outrageous!”
He was taken aback.
However, considering that a mere skeleton soldier could have skills during evolution, it should be logical for the skeleton general to awaken a talent, right?
It’s not that Dead Bone is impressive, but that he, the great Lord Shepherd, is simply terrific.
Because of his persistence and efforts as the Great Lord, he was able to cultivate one extraordinary skeleton after another, even nurturing the future skeleton emperor.
No one but me could do this-!
He had been surprised too many times by Dead Bone recently, and he almost forgot that he was the most extraordinary person in his territory.
Wait a minute, why hasn’t the white light of evolution dissipated yet?
Previous evolutions were over in a blink. Perhaps this one consumed more evolution points, so the special effects last longer?
As Mu Yuan thought this, the familiar “ding-dong” notification sound rang
again in front of him.
“Ding!”
“Notice: Your soldier type ‘Skeleton General’ experienced severe mental fluctuations during the evolution process, and has understood the special skill
‘Undead Resurrection’.”
‘Undead Resurrection: Can resurrect skeleton-series creatures from corpses to fight for oneself. The revived creatures can only exist for a certain amount of time, after which they will return to dust. At the same time, this skill can be used on undead system targets that have been dead for no more than half an hour to revive them. The energy consumption for resurrecting targets will be several to dozens of times more than for reviving, depending on the rank of the revived target.1
Mu Yuan: ”…”
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
He seems to have hit the jackpot!
But judging from the prompt, it seemed, probably, likely, perhaps…The comprehension of the Undead Resurrection technique was inseparable from Dead Bone himself.
Could it be because he chose resurrection techniques for the sake of stability?
You’re remarkable, Dead Bone.
The corner of Mu Yuan’s mouth twitched, and at this moment, the white light of evolution gradually retreated, revealing the skeleton general, who was a bit taller than two meters, and whose armor was obviously much heavier and similar to the warrior’s attire.
He was holding a wide and thick giant sword, which looked like a door panel. On the sword, stalks of ghostly light flowed. If you stared at it, you could see countless ghosts wailing.
The silver-gray armor on his body was countless times more luxurious than the previous generation. The two skeleton skulls carved on his shoulders made him look awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Even through the mediator, Dead Bone, as a skeleton general, still had a great visual impact.
Of course, what Mu Yuan cares about is not this, but now, he can’t even touch Dead Bone’s head, his fists can barely reach Dead Bone’s chest.
If he dares to summon Dead Bone at home, there might be a wreck-the-house situation.
But beyond these factors, Dead Bone’s evolution this time can be described as a complete transformation. With the talent ‘Death Extraction’, it won’t take long for Dead Bone to get rid of the title of Double Barrel Skeleton and become Four Barrel Skeleton or Eight Barrel Skeleton, leaving others behind in terms of endurance.
Although it seems that the skill ‘Undead Resurrection’ consumes more Mana?
Having comprehended Undead Resurrection on his own, Dead Bone seemed satisfied.
With this ability, his subsequent battles against enemies would be much more stable, and he wouldn’t have to worry about the sudden demise of Bone Two Stunned, Bone Three Wave and other skeletons.
But Dead Bone was not completely satisfied.
Because the skill Undead Resurrection has some restrictions. It can only resurrect undead targets and has no effect on the human lord.
Dead Bone was troubled.
Indeed, it could go on expeditions alone and leave the Great Lord at home. However, their territory was far from safe. Let’s not talk about the distant areas. What if…what if the nearby gargoyles woke up while it was out? Wouldn’t the Lord be screwed then?
That’s too dangerous!
These gargoyles do have a way of asking for trouble!
