Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge - Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 236: The Undead Bosses’ Collective Evolution!_2

With the characteristic proficiency of a Mechanical Race professional in crafting various mechanical products, as long as the equipment kept up, the speed and success rate of production were certainly higher than Shen Yurou’s.

“Okay, I’m on it.”

Having collected a pile of several hundred items, Fan Yuer was at a loss for words.

However, Zi Liyuan had already warned her of the potential dangers she might encounter on this journey, so for the sake of her own life, she naturally wouldn’t be careless.

Thus, after agreeing, she slapped away Lord Zi’s mischievous hand that was grasping at her pectoral muscles and turned to leave.

Left with no ball to play with, Lord Zi once again sprawled on the sofa, pulling out a book twice as thick as a dictionary and began to read.

“Damn it, if it weren’t for my spirit being strong enough to reach a level of photographic memory, memorizing such a thick book would probably cause all my flowing hair to fall out.”

Shaking his head, he flipped to the bookmarked page from last time and continued reading.

This book was just a basic introduction and explanation of the resources found in the Sea of Realms, all accumulated by the Blue Star Humans as fundamental knowledge regarding those resources.

It could be said that after memorizing this book, one could enter the Sea of Realms and wouldn’t be completely in the dark when it came to discovering, developing, collecting, and utilizing basic resources.

Of course, besides this thick volume, there were easily a hundred more books of similar thickness concerning the knowledge of the Sea of Realms.

After reading for less than half an hour, Liu Guozhong came knocking at the door.

Seeing this person who had teleported directly to the manor’s entrance, Zi Liyuan understood that the relationship between Dragon Academy and the Great Xia Empire was intricate indeed.

This military bigshot coming over was clearly given the green light. Luckily, he didn’t teleport directly into the manor; otherwise, Zi Liyuan feared he might have to arrange various defensive barriers and formations throughout the manor first.

This time, upon seeing Liu Guozhong, the latter had a grim expression and his gaze towards Lord Zi wasn’t very friendly.

Fortunately, he was restrained, and after the transfer of [Heart of the Lord] was complete, he promptly turned and walked away as if he couldn’t bear to stay even an extra second.

Zi Liyuan was indifferent to his attitude.

In reality, they were all calculating against each other, and now they both knew it all too well.

After sending off Liu Guozhong, Zi Liyuan entered the underground training ground and summoned all the contracted undead BOSSes.

Zombies, Spectres, the Blood Race, Wraith Mages, Dread Knights, Bone Dragons, one after another, the undead BOSSes stood quietly in the training ground, awaiting orders from their contractor.

One Spectral Dragon King (Epic BOSS)

Sixty-three Spectral Dragons (Lord BOSSes)

Twenty Dread Knight Kings (Heroic BOSSes)

One Wraith Mage King (Heroic BOSS)

Two hundred Wraith Mages (Rare BOSSes)

One Blood Race Ghost King (Heroic BOSS)

One Phantom King (Heroic BOSS)

One Zombie King (Heroic BOSS)

One hundred mutated zombies (Rare BOSSes)

Excluding Lao Tie, the old turtle, the Spider Queen, the man-faced Demon Spiders, and the Epic Beast BOSSes, these comprised the formidable resources Zi Liyuan had amassed.

As for the expendable Skeleton Army and Zombie Army, since they were fodder, there was naturally no need to summon them. After all, his aim this time was to strengthen the power of his subordinates.

He took out a [Heart of the Lord] and beckoned a Dread Knight King forward.

Guided by spirit, energized with spiritual power, the [Heart of the Lord] radiated golden light, permeating into the Dread Knight King bit by bit.

As the [Heart of the Lord] vanished completely, the energy of this exquisite gem, capable of elevating a Third Order human to Lord status when entering the Sea of Realms, was fully infused into the undead creature.

The aura of the Dread Knight King soared at that moment, breaking through a certain limit. A dark green hellfire erupted from the gaps in his armor enveloping both the Dread Knight King and his steed.

The once pitch-black armor underwent a transformation; Demonic Runes started appearing on it.

The skeletal horse beneath him not only grew taller but its hooves ignited with nether flames, leaving behind a trail of dark green fiery hoof prints in the air as it trotted!

Walking on air, these skeletal horses directly evolved into nightmare skeletal horses!

Zi Liyuan also noticed that the attribute panel of the Dread Knight King had changed.

From [Dread Knight King (Heroic Boss)] → [Nightmare Knight (Lord Boss)]!

This was a promotion in the tier of life!

The Dread Knight evolved from a pseudo-Fourth Order creature into a true Fourth Order undead being!

“Not bad, not bad, the boss template has been promoted, and the overall attributes have increased significantly.”

After checking the differences between the Dread Knight King and Nightmare Knight, Zi Liyuan nodded in satisfaction, deeming the consumption of one [Heart of the Lord] worthwhile in his view.

Regrettably, when Zi Liyuan took out ten [Heart of the Lord], hoping to further evolve the Nightmare Knight, there was no effect.

“Although [Heart of the Lord] is a panacea, it’s not omnipotent.”

He had hoped to create a Nightmare Knight King with an epic boss template, but alas, it was not to be, and he had to give up reluctantly.

He would have to find another way to evolve the Nightmare Knight into a Nightmare Knight King later.

Shaking his head, twenty Dread Knight Kings consumed twenty [Heart of the Lord], all evolving into Nightmare Knights (Lord Boss).

Paired with their reprint skill, they were equivalent to a cavalry squad of 140 Lord Bosses. When launching a charge combined with the Dark Knight’s innate abilities, their destructive power was exceedingly terrifying.

After dispatching the Nightmare Knights to keep the Spectral Dragon company, Lord Zi summoned the Wraith Mage to his side.

Another [Heart of the Lord] was taken out, intending to strengthen the Wraith Mage in the same manner.

Under the energy infusion of [Heart of the Lord], the Wraith Mage also completed its evolution.

From [Wraith Mage (Heroic Boss)] → [Death Lich (Lord Boss)]!

“It’s still a Third Order undead creature; its potential and foundation are quite inferior to that of the Dark Knight. It seems that evolving into an epic boss will be extremely difficult.”

The Death Lich, having evolved from a Corpse Witch, didn’t have a strong enough base as a Third Order undead. It was already not easy for it to evolve into a Lord Boss, let alone an epic boss.

He took out another two hundred [Heart of the Lord] and began using them on the Wraith Mages (Rare Bosses).

One could only say that [Heart of the Lord] was truly effective, and using it on these bosses ensured their evolution into a Lord Boss template.

Looking at the two hundred and one Death Liches (Lord Boss), he now had a high-tier undead mage group, a sure sign of a significant increase in strength.

“With the intelligence of a Death Lich, even without the ‘Undead Calamity’ forbidden curse skill, I could still unleash a minor undead disaster.”

Wraith Mages could command undead creatures, and now that they had evolved into Death Liches, they could command even greater numbers of them.

Now with two hundred and one, if he could amass a full contingent of undead, he might produce an army of a million undead!

Shaking his head, creating an army of a million undead was no easy feat, and it wasn’t the time to think about this yet.

He sent off the Death Lich group to study combined casting while this time Lord Zi summoned the Blood Race Ghost King to his side.

Spending another [Heart of the Lord], he evolved one Lord Boss.

However, the name of the Blood Race Ghost King did not change, and aside from some attribute enhancements, there were no other changes.

Zi Liyuan could see that the potential and foundation of Second Order undead creatures were even lower, and not even a treasure like [Heart of the Lord] could elevate their tier of life.

Shaking his head, he summoned the Phantom King and Zombie King in front of him, once again taking out two [Heart of the Lord] to activate.

After absorbing the power of [Heart of the Lord], the Phantom King also evolved into a Lord Boss.

But when the [Heart of the Lord] energy was used on the Zombie King, after seeping into its body, it dissipated like deflating air, only to re-condense into [Heart of the Lord] above its head.

“Uh, are the First Order undead creatures being rejected by the [Heart of the Lord]?”
