Chapter 219

Su Hao

Tie Geda

Effect 1—Wangling Hai: All undead creatures summoned by this skill have no time limit on summoning, and also no numerical limit.

It also comes with two active skills, Bone Spur and Blood Shield Technique, the passive skill Ghost Fire, and the talent Bone Dragon Power: units possessing this talent will undergo some changes in appearance; depending on the unit's positioning, their physique or mental power will be positively affected.

Effect 2—Summon Skeleton Warrior: By consuming mental power, from the undead medium, summon a skeleton warrior.

Skeleton warriors possess a stronger physique, their limbs turn into dragon claws, a dragon tail grows on their buttocks, and they have greater strength and attack power.

Effect 3—Summon Skeleton Mage: Influenced by Bone Dragon Power, it can use Ghost Fire Breath, releasing a large amount of ghost fire that is harder to extinguish at enemies in front (the rest omitted).

Effect 4—Summon Skeleton Warhorse: Influenced by Bone Dragon Power, its limbs turn into dragon claws, its joints grow sharp bone spurs, giving it a certain armor-piercing effect, and its physique is stronger (the rest omitted).

Effect 5—Summon Bone Dragon: By consuming mental power, from the undead medium, summon a bone dragon.

The higher the Supernatural Grade of the medium used, the stronger the bone dragon that emerges; due to the skill level limit, currently the highest that can be summoned is a Supernatural Third Tier bone dragon.

The bone dragon summoned by this skill possesses a stronger physique, is wreathed in ghost fire, can ignite all nearby enemies, and can also use a powerful ghost fire breath.

Summon Skeleton Warrior

Summon Skeleton Mage

"This synthesis profit is too high, right? I feel the strength of the skeleton warriors is not inferior to that of the bone dragon!"

After viewing the skill's detailed interface, Su Hao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

The last time when synthesizing the Ghost Fire Skeleton Warhorse, Su Hao vaguely sensed that, as the Undead Summoning technique undergoes continual synthesis, those original effects would be affected to varying degrees.

After synthesizing the Bone Dragon skull this time, Su Hao completely confirmed this conjecture.

Indeed, each synthesis causes all effects of the Undead Summoning technique to undergo corresponding changes.

For example, when this skill was originally just summoning skeleton warriors, if only an ordinary medium was used, the summoned skeleton warriors.

They are merely larger in size; compared to ordinary skeleton monsters, they have greater strength and somewhat stronger defense.

But after synthesizing the skeleton warhorse, this skill became the Undead Summoning technique, and the original effects began to change.

The summoned skeleton warriors possess the passive skill Ghost Fire and the active skill Summon Skeleton Warhorse, and their combat power has noticeably increased by a large margin.

And now, after becoming the Bone Dragon skull, the summoned skeleton warriors have gained an additional talent, Bone Dragon Power.

The skeleton warriors' bodies begin to draconify, their size increases again, their limbs turn into dragon claws, a dragon tail grows on their buttocks, and they possess greater physique and strength.

Likewise, the skeleton mages and skeleton warhorses also undergo corresponding changes.

The bone dragon itself is also affected by the skeleton warriors, its size becomes even larger, and it can now use undead magic.

It is precisely because of this change that Su Hao is so delighted.

This also means that from now on, each synthesis of the Undead Summoning will be able to affect the existing effects.

This is equivalent to gaining the results of multiple syntheses from just a single use of synthesis.

「Damn it, those ten thousand Pale Skeleton Warriors I summoned yesterday weren't for nothing, were they……」

Recalling how he had struggled yesterday to summon Pale Skeleton Warriors for most of the day, Su Hao faintly felt a bit of a pain in the balls.

After synthesis, the Undead Summoning skill merely underwent a change.

However, the summoned creatures that have already been called forth will not be affected in any way.

The same holds true for every type of summoning skill.

The Skeleton Warrior summoning skill merely rose from Second Tier to Third Tier, becoming Undead Summoning.

Now the seal on the Pale Skeleton Warriors can be lifted, raising their Supernatural Grade to Third Tier, enabling them to use the Wild Blade Slash and Wither skills.

However, the new changes brought by Undead Summoning cannot affect the already summoned skeleton warriors, nor the Pale Skeleton Warriors.

That is to say, these existing Pale Skeleton Warriors will not grow stronger, cannot use Ghostfire or Summon Skeleton Warhorse, and lack the Bone Dragon's Power talent.

Thus, even if the Pale Skeleton Warriors' Supernatural Grade is also Third Tier, they still have a clear gap compared to the newly summoned skeleton warriors.

This leaves Su Hao rather helpless; the Pale Skeleton Warriors he struggled so hard to summon yesterday can now only be used as cannon fodder.

Fortunately, these Pale Skeleton Warriors still possess considerable combat strength, even surpassing many Third-Tier supernaturals.

Although they cannot serve as main forces, they at least count as high-grade cannon fodder.

Relying on these roughly ten thousand Pale Skeleton Warriors to exchange for the tens of thousands of monsters surrounding the territory should pose no problem.

After all, in many places of the Dark Forest, Third-Tier supernaturals are already considered high-end combat power.

Moreover, since things have already happened, regretting them would be useless.

Afterwards, Su Hao stopped thinking further, sent a message to Tie Geda, then plopped down on the ground, while undoing the seal on the Pale Skeleton Warriors and continuing to refine the corpses of undead beings.

By the time the seals on all the skeleton warriors were lifted, the refining of the undead creatures' corpses was nearly complete.

However, Su Hao had no intention of stopping to rest; the evil god remained a sharp dagger perpetually hovering above his head.

While still in the sanctuary, Su Hao naturally wanted to summon as many undead creatures as possible, to maximize the power of the Night and Death Goddess.

Only by doing so could Su Hao, after leaving the sanctuary, have enough undead army to launch an attack on the surroundings, killing all hostile species! Then he could convert those slain species into undead creatures as much as possible, continually expanding the undead army's scale, forming a virtuous cycle.

Due to the changes in Undead Summoning after synthesis, the four different summoned entities have all undergone changes.

So Su Hao summoned one of each of these four summoned entities, for only by understanding their specifics could he better combine them.

The first entity Su Hao summoned was the most familiar Skeleton Warrior.

The summoning medium used was likewise the Pale Bone Pearl; as Su Hao began using the skill, a black magic circle appeared on the ground, with strands of black mist rising from it and enveloping the Pale Bone Pearl.

Compared to before, this magic circle looked more complex, with a richer aura of death.

Moreover, this summoning made Su Hao clearly feel that his mental power consumption had surged, increasing several times over compared to before.

The time required for the summoning was also longer, but fortunately, Su Hao could confirm that the batch-summoning effect remained.

That is to say, Su Hao can, just as before, target multiple mediums for summoning, thereby greatly increasing the efficiency.

As time passed, the magic circle on the ground gradually faded, and a skeleton warrior composed entirely of pale bones appeared before Su Hao.

This skeleton warrior stood nearly 2.5 meters tall, with green flames coiling around all its joints.

His bones were extremely thick and large, with four thick arms; his hands and feet were shaped like dragon claws, looking extremely sharp and powerful. On their heads there were also two dragon horns, and on the skull there was a green pattern of a skeleton warhorse.

He also had a tail growing from his buttocks; overall he looked like a skeleton dragon person.

【Pale Skeleton Warrior】

Supernatural Grade: Third Tier

Skills: Savage Charge, Bone Spikes, Blood Escape Technique, Wild Blade Slash, Wither, Ghost Fire, Summon Skeleton Warhorse.

Talent: Bone Dragon's Power

Introduction: Affected by various strange powers, this pale skeleton warrior can be called an elite unit.

……

"Elite unit? That title fits quite well."

Su Hao smiled and nodded, then with a slight thought he closed the detail page of the pale skeleton warrior.

With so many skills and even a talent, it indeed qualifies as an elite unit.

If we only count the number of skills, even Su Hao himself doesn't have that many.

Afterwards, Su Hao conducted a series of simple tests on this pale skeleton warrior, gaining a clearer understanding of its true combat power.

He even felt that this level of pale skeleton warrior could no longer be described as merely an elite unit.

Even in a one-on-one situation, this pale skeleton warrior's strength could completely defeat the Violent Demonic Ox head-on.

What pleased Su Hao the most was the pale skeleton warrior's innate skill of summoning a skeleton warhorse.

Although the skeleton warhorses they summon and the ones Su Hao summons with Necromancy differ greatly in strength.

However, with the skeleton warhorse, the pale skeleton warrior's mobility sees a significant increase.

After riding the skeleton warhorse, the skeleton warrior and the warhorse form a single entity; then using Savage Charge, they can charge forward with the warhorse.

And this increased speed is based on the skeleton warhorse's speed.

After using Savage Charge, the speed will be even faster, and the burst impact will be stronger.

Whether used for assaulting fortifications, flanking maneuvers, or strategic retreats, it can provide a substantial boost.

After the skeleton warrior rides the skeleton warhorse, he essentially becomes a cavalryman.

Moreover, this skeleton warhorse has its own consciousness; in battle, the skeleton warrior doesn't need to divert attention to control it, resulting in a great increase in strength.

Such strength, even among all Third-Tier Supernatural beings, can be considered top-tier.

After gaining sufficient understanding of the pale skeleton warrior, Su Hao again used the pale bone bead as a summoning medium, employing Necromancy to summon the pale skeleton mage, pale skeleton warhorse, and pale bone dragon.

The pale skeleton mage is a ranged mage, and his overall condition is the opposite of that of the pale skeleton warrior.

As a ranged mage, the pale skeleton mage's physique is very weak, roughly comparable to an ordinary Third-Tier skeleton monster.

Even some Second-Tier Supernatural beings could have physiques stronger than theirs.

However, their mental power is extremely strong.

Even among all Third-Tier Supernatural beings, their mental power can still be considered top-notch.

The necromantic magic they release can cause extremely strong destruction, while also granting allied undead creatures a powerful positive buff.

Whether it's long-range fire bombardment or supporting frontline combat, they are highly capable.

Moreover, compared to ordinary mages, although the pale skeleton warrior's physique is weak, it doesn't mean he lacks melee ability.

When faced with an enemy's close-range attack, they can still use Ghost Fire Breath to give the enemy a big surprise.

Besides that, the pale skeleton mage, like the pale skeleton warrior, can also summon a skeleton warhorse.

Because the skeleton warhorse has its own consciousness, after riding it the pale skeleton mage can easily cast while moving, reducing the chance of being caught in melee.

Even if the pale skeleton mage gets caught in melee after acquiring the skeleton warhorse, he still has respectable melee ability, especially when combined with his own Ghost Fire Breath.

If the enemy dares to get close, it's truly uncertain who will win.

The skeleton warhorse summoned by Su Hao using the pale bone bead possesses the same abilities as those summoned by the pale skeleton warriors.

However, the skeleton warhorse summoned by Su Hao is stronger, reaching Supernatural Grade Third Tier.

Moreover, the skeleton warhorse provides its rider with even greater mental and physical enhancements.

It itself possesses higher wisdom, and its overall speed and capabilities are stronger, making it suitable for forming an elite unit.

Among these four summoned beings, the Bone Dragon's strength is undoubtedly the greatest, and its consumption is also enormous.

At first, Su Hao used a single pale bone bead, but due to insufficient summoning medium, the summoning failed.

Until Su Hao increased the number of pale bone beads to ten, a black magic circle appeared on the ground.

Compared to before, this magic circle is larger, with a diameter of over fifty meters.

The mental power consumption is also much greater, consuming nearly half of his mental power before the Bone Dragon was successfully summoned.

The Bone Dragon is huge, with a wingspan nearing thirty meters, and green flames burn in all its joints, giving it a formidable presence.

The Bone Dragon's skills are similar to those of the pale skeleton warrior and pale skeleton warhorse.

However, the Bone Dragon can fly at high altitude, its body is even larger, and its mobility and melee combat abilities are stronger.

Most importantly, the Bone Dragon can exhale a powerful death breath, causing massive ranged damage with great power.

Even if using the same pale bone bead as a medium, the pale skeleton warrior and pale skeleton warhorse summoned by Necromancy, once hit by the Bone Dragon's death breath, will die completely in a short while.

Without a doubt, a single pale bone dragon can easily crush a squad of pale skeleton warriors.

Even if it's a Third-Tier Supernatural Violent Demonic Ox, facing the pale bone dragon it can only be crushed.

Moreover, the Bone Dragon's ability to fly high and its huge size, combined with a flaming pumpkin head, turns it directly into a bomber, which can certainly play a remarkable role on the battlefield.

After gaining sufficient understanding of these four beings of Su Hao, he began to mass-summon the undead army.

He waited until evening, when a phone call made him set aside his affairs.
