Chapter 26: The Second Summoned Beast
The Skeleton Warrior’s HP and Defense were both extremely low,
but its Attack was by no means low.
If someone were surrounded by Skeleton Warriors, the outcome would likely be grim.
That, however, was only true for other class-holders.
In front of Lin Yuan, a mere handful of Skeleton Warriors was nothing worth worrying about.
The Skeleton Warriors moved very slowly.
Ali waited for nearly a full minute before they finally drew close.
Berserk Rush!
Draw Slash!
Normal strike, normal strike...
Double Strike.
-182500 (Critical Hit)
-91250
-3650
-3650
-43800
-43800
In less than thirty seconds, all one hundred Skeleton Warriors had been wiped out.
【Killed Skeleton Warrior (LV12) *100, EXP increased by 3000】
【Level increased to 10 (2400/10000)】
A flash of light passed over him as Lin Yuan’s level rose to 10.
After equipping the Lesser Demon Staff, Lin Yuan’s HP reached 12000,
his physical Attack reached 1500,
and his Spell Power rose to 450.
With such luxurious attributes, he could crush the vast majority of class-holders around Level 30.
Most importantly of all, Lin Yuan’s second Summon Slot had been unlocked.
He took out the Summon Skeleton Warrior skill book and learned it.
Lin Yuan now had his second Summoned Beast.
【Skeleton Warrior (Unnamed)】(Second Rank)
【Level】: 10
【Race】: Undead
【HP】: 20000
【Mana】: 5000
【Attack】: 2000
【Defense】: 1000
【Strength】: 1000
【Agility】: 500
【Stamina】: 1000
【Intelligence】: 500
【Talent】: All for Me (SSS-Rank)
【Skills】: Bone Overgrowth (D-Rank)
Its Strength and Stamina growth were both top-tier.
Only...
Was this not a little too few skills?
Bone Overgrowth?
Was that supposed to be some kind of joke?
Lin Yuan’s gaze dropped to the talent section.
【All for Me】(SSS-Rank)
Talent Effect 1: As long as a summon remains alive, you cannot be killed. Any fatal damage you receive will be transferred to a nearby summon.
Talent Effect 2: Summons are not limited by quantity (excluding summons bound to Summon Slots).
Talent Effect 3: Summoning skills have a chance to summon a higher-tier lifeform.
!!!
????
Lin Yuan marveled at how powerful the talent was, yet at the same time, he also found it a pity.
If a Necromancer possessed this talent, they would instantly transform into an Undead Calamity.
But Lin Yuan could not make full use of it.
His Summon Slots were all bound.
He tried summoning repeatedly, only to see the Skeleton Warrior appear over and over again.
There were not multiple Skeleton Warriors appearing at the same time.
He glanced at his remaining Evolution Points.
There were still 3600 left.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan advanced the Skeleton Warrior to the Third Rank.
【Skeleton Mage (Unnamed)】(Third Rank)
【Level】: 10
【Race】: Undead
【HP】: 40000
【Mana】: 10000
【Attack】: 4000
【Defense】: 2000
【Strength】: 2000
【Agility】: 1000
【Stamina】: 2000
【Intelligence】: 1000
【Talent】: All for Me (SSS-Rank)
【Skills】: Advanced Bone Overgrowth (B-Rank), Undead Summoning (S-Rank)
From Second Rank to Third Rank, all of its attributes doubled.
And on top of that, it gained an S-Rank skill: Undead Summoning.
【Undead Summoning】(S-Rank)
Skill Description: Consumes 500 Mana to randomly summon one hundred undead creatures two ranks lower than yourself to fight.
Was this not perfect?
Just a moment ago, Lin Yuan had still been regretting that the SSS-Rank talent had no opportunity to shine.
And now the opportunity had delivered itself right to his doorstep.
After rising to the Third Rank, the Skeleton Mage’s intelligence increased dramatically.
Its pale white fingers extended forward as it activated Undead Summoning.
One hundred First Rank Skeleton Soldiers appeared before him.
“Heh-heh-heh-heh!”
The Skeleton Mage waved its fingers again and again, continuously casting Undead Summoning
until its Mana bar was completely emptied.
Two thousand undead creatures stood in orderly ranks before Lin Yuan.
Most of them were First Rank ordinary skeletons, though a smaller portion were Second Rank skeletons,
and together with the Third Rank Skeleton Mage—
damn it, even Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard was probably only this strong.
Lin Yuan scratched his head.
“Sigh. Have I turned into a Necromancer now?”
I am the Calamity!
【Skeleton Knight Mosa has launched a second attack】
Five minutes after the Skeleton Warriors were wiped out, the second wave of the offensive arrived.
This time, the enemies were ranged monsters.
【Skeleton Archer】(Ordinary)
【Level】: LV13
【HP】: 7000
【Attack】: 350
【Defense】: 80
【Skill (Rapid Shot): Launches two attacks at the target. Cooldown: 30 seconds】
There were eighty Skeleton Archers in total, attacking Lin Yuan from four separate directions.
“Heh-heh-heh-heh!”
At a single order from the Skeleton Mage, the undead army surged toward the Skeleton Archers in an instant.
Their individual combat power was ordinary,
but there were simply too many of them.
A single hit from each was more than enough to bury the Skeleton Archers where they stood.
【Killed Skeleton Archer (LV13) *80, EXP increased by 3200】
After the Skeleton Archers were exterminated, the Skeleton Mage let out a cackling “Gah-gah-gah” laugh.
The sound was unbelievably arrogant.
Lin Yuan clapped his hands.
“Since you like shrieking so much, I’ll call you A’gui.”
“Heh-heh-heh-heh!”
A’gui seemed to like the name very much, because his laughter became even eerier.
Over the next twenty minutes, Skeleton Knight Mosa launched two more attacks.
This time, the enemies were Level 14 Skeleton Shieldbearers and Level 15 Skeleton Axe Warriors.
Without exception, both waves were swallowed by Lin Yuan’s undead army in less than a minute after appearing.
They became nothing more than EXP for Lin Yuan.
【Level increased to 11 (3100/20000)】
While waiting for the fifth wave of attacks,
Ali had, at some unknown point, found a place to sit down.
Ever since A’gui appeared, it seemed that Ali was no longer needed in battle.
Thousands of undead creatures would obliterate any life that tried to approach Lin Yuan.
The Refined Iron Sword was planted beside him, while Ali sat there holding a violin and playing an unknown melody.
Lin Yuan: ...
Were you seriously holding a concert here?
Who exactly were you performing for?
This bunch of skeleton frames?
Forget it. He could do whatever he liked.
That was still better than A’gui endlessly going “heh-heh-heh” without stopping.
There was no way A’gui could ever be summoned outside.
Everywhere he went, all anyone would hear was that constant “heh-heh-heh.”
Who would not be frightened by that?
Anyone who did not know better would think that a dungeon Boss had invaded.
【Skeleton Knight Mosa has launched a new round of attacks】
【Bone Giant has appeared】
BOOM!
BOOM!
Lin Yuan felt the ground begin to shake.
Something huge was about to appear.
Accompanied by a low and gloomy roar,
a Bone Giant over five meters tall appeared before Lin Yuan.
【Bone Giant】(Third Rank Elite)
【Level】: LV16
【HP】: 180000
【Attack】: 1600
【Defense】: 3000
【Skill 1 (Bone Shield): Summons three bone shields, reducing the damage of the next attacks received by 50%. Cooldown: 30 seconds】
【Skill 2 (Execution): Swings the giant axe in its hands, dealing 3000 physical damage to targets within a three-meter radius. If the target is at the very center of the giant axe’s impact point, the damage is doubled】
【Skill 3 (Intimidation): Every 20 seconds, a judgment is triggered. Targets lower level than the Bone Giant have a chance to enter a dazed state for 2 seconds. If the target is an undead creature, it instead enters a paralyzed state】
