Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: The Path of Advancement for the Skeleton Clan!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

‘So it turns out that killing a skeleton is not the only way to obtain information about its class template. Enslaving a skeleton also does the same thing! he thought as he pondered on this discovery.

When he saw the last message that appeared on the attributes panel, Bruce’s heart was filled with joy.

He didn’t have to choose between the two options anymore.

He had obtained the class template of this advanced skeleton had. At the same time, he had gained a powerful underling.

Skeleton Warrior—this was the advanced class that his new underling had obtained!

He had more than ten years of gaming experience in his previous life. However, this kind of experience was based on the perspective of the players.

In his previous life, Bruce was born in a novice village. The monsters that were killed in the early stages of the game were not skeletons or undead. His understanding of skeletons and undead was limited to their types and bosses.

He knew very little about the relationship between the skeletons and the other undead races, the advanced relationship between the different ranks of the skeleton race, and so on.

When his identity changed from a player in the real world to a skeleton in the game world, most of the gaming experience he had in his previous life was no longer applicable.

The most valuable thing was his understanding of the entire game world and the rules of the game.

Other than necromancers, no one would probably care about the skeleton clan’s advancement system. In his past life, Bruce, who was focused on the path of the sword saint, was even more clueless about this.

Hence, he had to collect them again.

Skeleton soldiers were the basic advancement class of the skeleton clan.

It was probably the basic standard class of all skeletons, given that they met the corresponding conditions.

However, from the beginning of the advanced class, the uniqueness of this class began to change.

[ template ] : Skeleton Warrior

[ rank ] : Advanced Class template

[ bonus ] : health + 200, strength * 4, agility * 1.5, vitality * 3, spirit * 0.1

[ skill ] : deterrence

Deterrence: passive skill.

As a member of the Skeleton Army, Skeleton Warriors are born with the ability to command the skeleton soldiers and command them in battle. The number of skeleton warriors commanding the skeleton soldiers depends on their spirit attribute (spirit attribute * 10).

This was the job template that the skeleton battleground had.

Bruce knew by looking at the attributes of the job template that the skeleton warriors focused on the growth of their strength and vitality. The growth of the agility attribute was not much higher than that of the skeleton soldiers.

On the other hand, the spiritual attributes were different.

From 0 to 0.1, this could be considered a qualitative breakthrough!

After all, the spiritual attributes determined the self-awareness of the skeleton race.

The level of the other three attributes could only determine whether a skeleton was strong or not. The level of the spiritual attributes could determine whether a skeleton could awaken and eventually grow into a high-level undead that was no less intelligent than humans.

The 0.1 growth of the spirit attribute, coupled with the passive skill, “Shock,” was the origin of the skeleton soldiers around the skeleton warriors.

Combined with his knowledge of the skeletons in his previous life, Bruce sorted out the complete chain of advancement for the skeleton warriors.

Basic rank: Skeleton Soldier

Advanced rank: Skeleton Warrior

Elite rank – skeleton general

Warrior rank – skeleton commander

Lord rank – Skeleton King

This was the skeleton clan’s orthodox advancement path.

Orthodox did not mean that it was the only one.

From the beginning of advancement, the skeleton clan had split into many advancement paths.

Strength, agility, and physique balanced the development of the skeleton swordsmen. Their strength and agility were more outstanding than that of skeleton assassins. Skeleton guards focused on the growth and improvement of their physique.

No one knew how many paths the skeleton race had to take to advance.

Looking at the advanced class template that he had already obtained, Bruce was somewhat conflicted.

Compared to other advanced classes, the attribute growth of the skeleton warrior class was not outstanding. It placed more emphasis on fighting in an army.

The individual strength of a skeleton warrior might not be comparable to that of a skeleton swordsman.

However, when this skeleton warrior brought along all of its underlings, when the two of them met, the probability of the skeleton soldier being killed would be higher.

If it was just an ordinary skeleton, Bruce would naturally choose this path to advance. However, with the existence of the [ devour ] talent, being a skeleton warrior was no longer Bruce’s best choice.

The [ deterrence ] and [ devour ] overlapped.

The [ awe ] skill carried underlings, and they were also limited by their spirit attribute and rank.

The [ devour ] talent that enslaved underlings did not have this restriction. As long as Bruce had enough patience and strength, he could even use the identity of a skeleton soldier to enslave countless skeletons, skeleton soldiers, skeleton warriors, and even skeleton warlords!

It was different from that of other players.

As a monster race, Bruce had very few opportunities to obtain skills.

At least, for now, he could only obtain a corresponding ability or skill from the class template when he changed classes. And every ability or skill would undoubtedly greatly enhance his combat power or survivability!

He could not bear to waste such an opportunity.

Therefore, even though he had already met the requirements for the Skeleton Warrior class advancement, Bruce still put it aside and did not rashly change his class.

‘Let’s wait a little longer. With the addition of the Skeleton Warrior, perhaps it won’t be long before I can obtain a second or third advanced class template.’

He made a decision in his heart.

Bruce no longer paid attention to the advanced class template that he had just obtained. Instead, he focused his attention on the skeleton warrior class, which he had just obtained.

He had already completed the fusion of its head and body.

The moment it was completed, the skeleton warrior that had already been subdued pushed aside the many skeleton soldiers. It held a two-handed greatsword in its hands and stood next to Bruce in an imposing manner.

It was as if it was announcing its status by Bruce’s side!

[ race ] : undead-skeleton

[ level ] : Level 25

[ status ] : health 470, mana 16

[ attributes ] : strength 29, agility 20, vitality 27, spirit 1.6

[ skills ] : Excellent Zhen

Not only could Bruce completely control the enslaved skeleton, but he could also check its attributes template at any time.

These were the attributes of the skeleton warrior.

Without Bruce’s command and participation, the outcome of the battle just now would have been the complete opposite.

Just this skeleton warrior alone was enough to kill all 30 skeleton soldiers under his command, turning them into experience points for growth. Moreover, the skeleton warrior had brought more than 10 skeleton soldiers with him.

With the addition of the skeleton warrior, Bruce’s power doubled.

After a simple recovery, allowing the skeletons to heal his body, Bruce set off again, leading his 20 or so subordinates deeper into the boneyard.

He and the skeleton warriors had the strength of two advanced skeletons.

Together with the skeleton soldiers, such strength was enough to go deeper into the boneyard and hunt for advanced skeletons!
