After subduing the Skeleton Lord, Green opened its status panel. What he saw filled him with delight.
Even though he had expected it, seeing the Skeleton Lord's attributes for the first time was still a shock!
Name: Sean Spartiel; Class: Skeleton Lord; Level: [lv10]; Combat Power: [28000]; Skills: Skeleton Mastery [lv5], Death Resilience [lv5], Resurrection Aura [lv8]...
It wasn't just the Skeleton Lord's strength that delighted Green. A combat power of [28000] was formidable even for an Early Calamity Rank being, but his true strength lay in his skills. All three of his main skills were passive auras.
Skeleton Mastery [lv5] granted a [20%] combat power boost to every skeletal undead creature within a one-kilometer radius of the Skeleton Lord. That [20%] was nothing to scoff at. If he had several powerful skeletal undead at his side and all of them grew one-fifth stronger, the possibilities were thrilling.
Death Resilience [lv5] increased the vitality of all undead creatures by [20%]. That buff mattered greatly to fragile undead.
Resurrection Aura [lv8] was the Skeleton Lord's highest-level ability. A variant of the fifth-circle spell Undead Resurrection, it turned every corpse and every piece of matter saturated with Death Psychic Energy within a kilometer of him into an elite Skeleton Soldier with considerable combat power.
After examining the Skeleton Lord's attributes and skills, Green finally understood that one-on-one combat wasn't his specialty. His real strength was leading a skeletal army into battle. Green was secretly relieved that the Skeleton Lord had only just awakened when they fought. Weakened and in poor condition, he probably couldn't even use his skills. Otherwise, who knew how many Skeleton Soldiers might have risen from the countless bones buried in Ceylan Valley under a single Resurrection Aura?
If that had happened, forget subduing the Skeleton Lord.
