Because I Wanted to Be Too Steady, I Chose the Resurrection Spell

Mu Yuan's decision to evolve Undead Bone was also carefully considered.

He immediately ruled out the option of evolving all the Little Skeletons – most of them were still at level 1 or 2, and their combat power wouldn't increase much after evolving.

This was also because he was poor.

Although his daily Soul Sand income had exceeded 300g, he still couldn't afford to continuously train all his troops. He could only prioritize cultivating his Trump Cards and main forces.

Bone Three, Bone Four, and the first batch of Skeletons had decent levels, generally around LV4.

Furthermore, they were already skilled in using skill energy, and it wouldn't take long for them to learn Charge Javelin after evolving. This meant he could quickly field a powerful troop type with ranged attack capabilities.

However,

Mu Yuan still chose Undead Bone.

With Undead Bone's 'super high level' of Zero Order 6, and its energy reserves and skill usage techniques far exceeding other Skeletons, evolving Undead Bone was definitely not a loss.

He was also very curious about what skills Undead Bone would learn when it evolved.

What if he gambled and got a divine skill?

This was a big gamble!

The Autumn Wind Soughing, Undead Bone, carrying the expectations of all the Skeletons in the village, slowly walked towards the Lord Altar.

Mu Yuan had been waiting here for a long time.

With a feeling like drawing cards, he had already performed Bathing and Burning Incense early on. Everything was ready, just waiting for the miraculous evolution!

"Begin."

Undead Bone was also full of anticipation.

This was the Great Lord's power, and this time, it swore to regain its Steady glory and become a Skeleton that could truly be Steady.

Evolve.

Evolve!

A brilliant white light enveloped Undead Bone's body. Amidst the shimmering light, notification sounds kept ringing.

"Ding!"

"Notification: Your troop 'Skeleton Warrior (Rare ★)' has bathed in the light of miracles and undergone a transformation, evolving into 'Skeleton Warlord (Rare ★★★)'..."

The higher-tier troop of Skeleton Warrior was Skeleton Warlord, which Mu Yuan had already anticipated.

He had read a lot of information.

There was once a player who used a 'Skeleton Soldier Inheritance Stone' and met a rich woman during an exploration. With the rich woman's funding, this player spent a huge amount of money to buy a large number of treasures and higher-tier Inheritance Stones to fuse, finally promoting his profession to Skeleton Warrior and then to Skeleton Warlord.

Occasionally, Great Lords would be nostalgic and invest a large amount of resources to cultivate their early Trump Card Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Warriors who had made great contributions for them.

And in numerous pieces of information, it was all indicated that Skeleton Warlord was the peak of the Little Skeleton series.

It had reached the peak.

Of course, Skeleton Warlord was already a powerful Rare Grade Three Star troop type, an existence that most players yearned for but couldn't obtain.

But,

"Perhaps this is the limit of the Little Skeleton, but it's definitely not the limit of the Evolution Points. Next time, we'll choose to keep adding points."

His thoughts raced, and Mu Yuan's heart gradually lifted.

[Prompt: Your unit 'Skeleton Warlord' has awakened the talent 'Death Absorption' during the evolution process.]

[Death Absorption: By killing enemies and absorbing their death essence, the unit's strength and spirit can be slightly increased, and its energy can be moderately increased. This increase is permanent but has an upper limit, which is related to the unit's own rank.]

"It's a talent, not a skill?"

"Legend says that units of Outstanding Grade and above have a chance to possess talents... Talents have broader prospects and application space than skills, and are also rarer."

"Undead Bone's evolution this time actually awakened a talent?"

"Moreover, this talent seems very strong. Even if we ignore the increase in strength and spirit, it means that killing monsters can increase its own energy limit. It's fierce!"

He was a little speechless.

But thinking about how a mere Skeleton Soldier could have skills during evolution, it's quite reasonable for a Skeleton Warlord to awaken a talent, isn't it?

This isn't about how powerful Undead Bone is, but how awesome he, Great Lord Mu, is.

It is precisely because of his, Great Lord Mu's, persistence and effort that he can cultivate one outstanding Skeleton after another, and even cultivate the future Skeleton Emperor.

As expected of me~!

He had been surprised too many times by Undead Bone these past few days, he almost forgot that he was the most awesome person in the entire territory.

Wait a minute, why hasn't the white light of evolution dissipated yet?

Previous evolutions ended in the blink of an eye. Perhaps this time the consumption of Evolution Points was relatively high, so the special effects would last longer?

As Mu Yuan thought, the familiar "ding dong" prompt sound rang out again in front of him.

[Ding!]

[Prompt: Your unit 'Skeleton Warlord' experienced intense will fluctuations during the evolution process and additionally comprehended the special skill 'Undead Rebirth'.]

[Undead Rebirth: Can resurrect Skeleton-type creatures from corpses to be commanded in battle. Resurrected creatures can only exist for a certain period of time before returning to dust. At the same time, this skill can be used on Undead-type targets that have been dead for no more than half an hour to resurrect them. Resurrecting a target requires consuming several times or even dozens of times the energy of resurrection, depending on the rank of the resurrected target.]

Mu Yuan: "..."

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

He seemed to have pulled a double yellow!

But looking at the prompt, it seems, possibly, probably, perhaps... the comprehension of Undead Rebirth is inseparable from Undead Bone itself.

Because it wanted to be too Steady, it chose the Resurrection Spell?

As expected of you, Undead Bone.

Mu Yuan's mouth twitched, and at this moment, the white light of evolution slowly receded, revealing the Skeleton Warlord, whose general appearance was similar to its Warrior period, but its armor was significantly thicker and its height had increased to over two meters.

It leaned on a massive greatsword, as wide and thick as a door panel. Wisps of Netherlight flowed across the blade, and gazing at it, one could almost see countless undead souls wailing.

The silver-gray armor it wore was infinitely more luxurious than its previous form. The two skull carvings on its shoulders made it appear even more majestic and terrifying.

Even through the medium, the Skeleton Warlord version of Undead Bone was incredibly visually impactful.

Of course, what Mu Yuan cared about wasn't that. It was that now, let alone giving Undead Bone a head pat, he could barely reach Undead Bone's chest with his little fists.

If he dared to summon Undead Bone at home, he was afraid a house-wrecking incident would occur.

But putting all that aside, Undead Bone's evolution this time was a complete transformation. With the 'Death Absorption' talent, Undead Bone would soon shed its title of Two-Shot Skeleton and become a Four-Shot Skeleton, an Eight-Shot Skeleton, leaving others in the dust in terms of endurance.

Although, it seemed the 'Undead Rebirth' skill consumed more mana?

Having comprehended Undead Rebirth on its own, Undead Bone was very satisfied.

With this skill, going out to battle enemies in the future would indeed be much steadier. It no longer had to worry about Bone Two Stubborn and Bone Three Lang and other skeletons suddenly dying.

But Undead Bone wasn't completely satisfied.

Because the Undead Rebirth skill had some limitations. It could only resurrect undead targets and was ineffective on the Lord, who was human.

Undead Bone was very troubled.

True, it could lead a team out to explore alone, leaving the Lord at home. However, their territory was far from safe. Not to mention distant threats, what if... what if the nearby Gargoyle awakened while it was away? Wouldn't the Lord be doomed?

This was too dangerous!

These Gargoyles truly deserved to die!
