Chapter 260 - 241: The Making of the Legendary Undead
Many people think that everything about a legend, from hair to toenails, is legendary.
But in reality, that’s not the case. Scraping some bone dust from Amberser won’t cure all diseases, and feeding it to a dog as bone mud won’t make the dog evolve into a high-order undead. At most, it could only poison the dog and make it rot very quickly.
It’s the same with the undead of other professions.
Back in his adventuring days, Amberser had heard a joke from the old-timers: A legendary warrior got drunk and was taken by a Drow Wanderer to be sold to an ogre. The ogre said, what’s so special about the loins of a legendary being when they aren’t even as chewy as those from a common man he had eaten.
The authenticity is unclear, but the story serves as a warning to all adventurers not to rely on high levels alone, as there are countless ways to die in this world.
To get back to the point, a legendary undead’s body doesn’t need to match up with a legendary soul. The real focus is on the strength of the soul and the "spells" that the soul masters.
Amberser’s pseudo-souls could be prepared with corresponding spells in advance, like the shapeshifting of the Mercury Avatar, which was inserted by Amberser during the soul crafting, becoming an instinct of this creature.
There are many types of undead, such as zombies and skeletons that may require combat abilities, like acceleration spells and aura of fear; all these can be customized.
The specific requirements must be determined after seeing the body of the manufactured undead, what Amberser could do now was to prepare as quickly as possible, like making preparations for the soul strength.
The soul strength of an ordinary human is roughly between eighty to one hundred and thirty. This unit was set by Amberser himself, with a strength of one hundred compared to having a hundred attribute points, whether to add to reflexes, willpower, multitasking focus, or on spell casting abilities; after all, attributes can only be so many, strengthening one part would weaken another.
