Chapter 428: Different Elemental Liches, Different Powerful Auras

The elemental liches are summoned repeatedly, then replaced, and Jiang Chen's prepared materials dwindle rapidly.

As the skill level rises, the elemental lich's aura grows stronger, yet its appearance stays unchanged—still only fist-sized and looking adorably clueless.

Jiang Chen finds it both laughable and frustrating: an Undead Lord, an undead‑type Summoner, summons such a tiny creature. Whether a Skeleton or a Lich General, they're usually terrifying, so how did this cute little thing appear?

Although it still bears a Lich's form, it looks like a deflated rubber ball wrapped around bones, utterly comical.

"The Awakening Skill showed something different before," Jiang Chen says, propping his chin, watching the flame Lich spin before him, noting the disparity so great he can barely imagine they're the same.

"Could it be related to the skill level and the materials used?" Jiang Chen muses, thinking it very possible.

Different summoning materials may affect the elemental Lich's appearance and combat power.

He decides to set the question aside and focus on raising the skill level—using it repeatedly, summoning repeatedly.

When the fire elemental material was about to run out, the skill finally reached Level 10.

With a buzzing sound, the elemental Lich summoned after reaching Level 10 changed, an Aura appearing at its feet.

Jiang Chen is slightly startled; the Aura looks familiar—aside from a slightly pale hue, it resembles the Holy Fire Aura of a Holy Light Knight.

Curious, he checks the Aura's attributes.

"Witchfire Aura: Applied to all Undead Legion members"

"Bestowing the Witchfire Aura causes flame damage to all enemies within 100 meters; damage scales with skill level and the Lich's attributes."

Jiang Chen glances, noting the Aura affects every Undead Legion member.

The maximum range is also centered on the location where the Undead Legion stands.

That range is enormous; the flame Lich need not move, the Aura can cover the entire battlefield.

"Isn't this just a Holy Light Knight?" Jiang Chen laughs helplessly, surprised his skill now has the Holy Light Knight's Aura effect.

Who would believe him if he said it out loud.

Staring at the flame Lich, its pair of tiny eyes also stare back at Jiang Chen.

Though the eyes are hollow, they somehow give Jiang Chen a strange feeling.

The atmosphere turns a bit eerie.

Jiang Chen can't help murmuring, "Other elemental Liches must have Auras too, right?"

He pulls out a bit of wind‑elemental material.

The skill activates, the elemental material vanishes instantly, followed by a gentle breeze.

A wind‑elemental Lich scorched by a wind aura appears before him.

The storm Lich, same size as the flame Lich, exudes cuteness.

It also has an Aura at its feet, a cyan Aura.

"Witchwind Aura: Applied to all Undead Legion members, greatly increases the Undead Legion's speed. Effect scales with skill level and the Lich's attributes."

Both the Skeleton and the Lich General have a second Aura appearing beneath their feet.

The Witchfire Aura and Witchwind Aura do not conflict with each other.

Jiang Chen now gets it—there really are Auras attached.

Putting the elemental Lich's combat power aside, just these Auras alone are enough to make them a strong

support.

After learning the elemental Lich's great effects, Jiang Chen redoubles his effort, continuously casting the skill to cultivate.

The skill level is rising rapidly.

Compared to the elemental Lich summoning skill, the Lightning Undead Wings' skill improvement is snail‑slow.

It can be used only once every 15 minutes, and leveling up requires a lot of time.

Jiang Chen need not worry about Spiritual Power consumption; his cultivation of the elemental Lich proceeds quickly.

At first he could gain a level each hour.

It only slowed after reaching Level 20.

Then it slowed again after hitting Level 40.

Thus, after five days of sleepless, relentless training, Jiang Chen forced the summoning elemental Lich skill up to Level 50, entering Perfect State.

From then on it was easy; as his level rose, the skill upgraded alongside.

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

Five days of effort raised the summoning elemental Lich to Level 50.

The Lightning Undead Wings also reached Level 2.

Flight time increased by 10 seconds, doubling it.

Cooldown dropped by one minute, now usable every 9 minutes.

The Level‑2 Lightning Undead Wings' speed rose from 500 m/s to 600 m/s.

And the reduced cooldown further accelerated its cultivation speed.

Jiang Chen believes that with a bit more effort to gain a few more levels, cultivation will become ever faster.

The question now before Jiang Chen is which material to use to summon the elemental Lich.

The quality of the material determines the elemental Lich's strength.

Using poor material is pointless.

He can't produce those Mythological Class materials either.

After half a day of deliberation, Jiang Chen quietly takes out an Elemental Crystal.

Flame Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Clear Water

Water Crystal, Whirlwind Crystal, Lightning Crystal, one each.

These crystals are items obtainable after Level 40, their tier comparable to Platinum Grade Weapons.

Aside from the Divine Stone, this is the best elemental item Jiang Chen can produce at the moment.

He has already decided in his heart, so he'll use them.

He grasps the Flame Barrier in his hand.

Skill: Summon Elemental Lich!

A towering Fire Pillar erupts from Jiang Chen's body.

Standing in the center of the flame, Jiang Chen feels no scorching heat, only a slight warmth.

The flame causes him no damage at all.

The Flame Crystal shatters, and a Flame Lich appears before Jiang Chen.

Compared with a Flame Lich summoned with low‑grade materials, the one before him is clearly much larger.

It has grown from fist‑size to the size of an adult's head.

Perhaps because the crystal was round, this Flame Lich also looks somewhat rounded.

Its skin seems a bit thicker, softer, and its bones are less distinct.

"How… it's become even cuter." Jiang Chen feels it doesn't match his professional image at all.

It's clearly an undead Summoned Entity, yet it looks so cute.

Headache!

As the skill is used repeatedly.

Storm Lich, Ice Lich, Earth Lich, Lightning Lich, and Light Lich appear one after another.

Each Lich stands on an Aura beneath its feet.

A full six Liches circle Jiang Chen endlessly.

Jiang Chen examines each Lich's attributes and familiarizes himself with their Skills.

'Platinum Tier Elemental Lich'

'Level: 50'

'Strength: 90000'

'Agility: 90000'

'Spirit: 90000'

'Constitution: 90000'

All six Liches have identical Four-dimensional Attributes, with no difference.

The only difference is

that they possess Auras of different attributes.

Flame Lich.

'Flame Aura: Bestows a Flame Aura on all members of the Undead Legion, dealing Flame damage to all enemies within a 1000‑meter radius; damage scales with Skill level and the Lich's attributes.'

Storm Lich.

'Storm Aura: Grants a Storm Aura to all members of the Undead Legion, greatly increasing the Legion's speed. Effect scales with Skill level and the Lich's attributes.'

Ice Lich.

'Freeze Aura: Bestows a Freeze Aura on all members of the Undead Legion, applying a freezing effect to all enemies within a 1000‑meter radius; the effect scales with Skill level and the Lich's attributes.'

Earth Lich.

'Earth Aura: Grants an Earth Aura to all members of the Undead Legion, greatly boosting the Legion's defense. Effect scales with Skill level and the Lich's attributes.'

Lightning Lich.

'Lightning Aura: Bestows a Lightning Aura on all members of the Undead Legion, dealing Lightning damage to all enemies within a 1000‑meter radius and having a chance to cause paralysis. Damage scales with Skill level and the Lich's attributes.'

Light Lich.

'Holy Light Aura: Grants a Holy Light Aura to all members of the Undead Legion, enhancing the Legion's resistance to Light Element damage and increasing its attack power against dark‑type monsters. Effect scales with Skill level and the Lich's attributes.'

He watches the various Aura attributes manifest.

The six Auras vary in size, neatly arranged beneath the Undead Legion's feet.

Their myriad colors illuminate the ground, truly spectacular.

The Undead Legion magnificently transforms into the Holy Light Legion.

With all these enhancements, the Undead

Legion becomes so powerful that even Jiang Chen can hardly imagine it.

Before the enemy can even approach, they are burned by fire, struck by lightning, and then subjected to freezing.

It would absolutely drive one to despair.

Jiang Chen discovers that every Level 10 brings a massive leap, not only does the Perfect Amplification talent increase by one level.

New Skills are often revolutionary changes.

Strong—truly too strong.
