Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: The Zombie That Was About To Advance To the Warrior Level!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Elite Skeleton Swordsman—this was the class template that Bruce had just obtained. At the same time, it was also one of the options he could consider for him to advance to the elite level.

“Elite skeleton swordsman” had always been what Bruce called this elite skeleton that he had just enslaved. He had never thought that the class template of this elite skeleton would actually be called “elite skeleton swordsman.”

From the advanced level to the elite level, there were a few ways to advance as a skeleton swordsman.

For example, the elite skeleton sword was an enhancement to the skeleton swordsman. Other than the higher life bonus and the growth of the four-dimensional attributes, the elite skeleton swordsman’s development direction was the same as the skeleton swordsman’s.

Other than that, there were also many different ways to advance, such as being more inclined to speed, more inclined to damage, more inclined to defense, and so on.

In general, the Earth-class elite skeleton sword was strong in balance.

It couldn’t be said to be very good, but it was definitely not bad either. It could be considered the orthodox path for the skeleton swordsman class to advance.

However, with the class template at hand, the four-dimensional attributes had already met the requirements for class advancement. However, Bruce wasn’t in a hurry to start his class advancement.

He looked at the altar.

From the beginning to the end, there was no movement on the altar.

Whether they stepped on the altar or had a short but intense battle on the altar, the five tall zombies on the altar did not move and remained asleep.

Bruce finally had the time to carefully examine the five zombies on the altar.

It was very obvious.

The four tall zombies in the center of the four areas of the altar were the elite class of the zombies.

At this moment, there were still dozens of zombies that had not been killed on the steps of the altar. The dark altar continued to extract the aura of death from the zombies and poured it into the bodies of these four elite zombies.

The influx of the aura of death did not make these four elite zombies much stronger.

On the contrary, it was the exact opposite.

In Bruce’s perception, these four elite zombies did not become stronger. Instead, they were extremely weak! The aura of death they emitted was, at most, a little stronger than the zombies.

It was far from reaching the level of the elite zombies!

The aura of death from the hundreds of zombies was extracted by the dark altar and poured into the bodies of these four elite zombies. At the same time, the aura of death from these four elite zombies was also extracted by the dark altar!

It was as if zombies were the providers of the aura of death, while these four elite zombies were the filters and purifiers of the aura of death. The purest aura of death that was filtered and purified all surged into the center of the dark altar!

That extremely terrifying and fierce tall zombie’s body!

All the zombies in the Valley of the Dead were just like vegetables that had been freshly harvested. The fierce zombie in the center of the dark altar was the only beneficiary.

The ferocious zombie was still an elite-level monster.

However, the terrifying aura it emitted far surpassed any elite-level monster that Bruce had ever seen!

‘So they are using the aura of death and thousands of zombies in the Valley of the Dead to nurture an elite-level zombie. This is in preparation for breaking through the elite-level and advancing into the warrior-level?’ he thought.

Numerous messages flashed through his mind, and Bruce had an answer in his heart.

He was not this zombie’s opponent.

Even if this zombie had not advanced into the warrior tier, it was probably not far away. If this zombie woke up, perhaps one strike would be enough to instantly kill Bruce!

He did not want to retreat just like that.

Four weak elite zombies, plus a ferocious zombie that was about to break through to the brave Earth tier would be worth a huge amount of experience points and also a large number of attribute points.

It was enough for him to work hard for a long time!

However, the dangers were also visible at a glance.

Bruce and the elite skeleton swordsman had never touched the five elite zombies on the altar.

Even if Bruce had his skeleton underlings kill almost all the zombies on the altar steps, there were still dozens of zombies left to maintain the operation at the altar.

If these zombies were triggered or the operation of the altar was interrupted, these five elite zombies would probably wake up all at the same time!

At that time, he would have to face the most dangerous situation since his rebirth!

Should he take the risk?

The soul fire in his eye sockets flickered slightly. Bruce looked at the five elite zombies again.

The dark altar was still operating, extracting the aura of death from the zombies. After losing hundreds of other zombies, the remaining dozens of zombies could not withstand the continuous suction from the dark altar. Their bodies were shaking, as if they were going to fall at any moment.

The reduction of the aura of death also alerted the five elite zombies.

Bruce even saw the ferocious zombie in the center of the altar move slightly, as if it would wake up at any moment.

There was no time to lose.

After thinking for a while, Bruce ordered his skeleton brothers to separate and surround the four weak elite zombies while he led a few skeleton warriors to rush to the front of the ferocious zombie.

Meanwhile, after being injured consecutively, the elite skeleton swordsman had already been shattered. It wouldn’t be of much use until it was repaired or replaced with a new body.

It was normal and as expected of an existence that was about to break through to the warrior level.

Just standing in front of the ferocious zombie, Bruce felt a great sense of danger. This ferocious zombie was like a terrifying giant beast that could wake up at any time!

A black crystal ball was suspended above the ferocious zombie.

If zombies served as the first filter of the aura of death and the four weak elite zombies were the second filter of the aura of death, then this crystal ball was the last filter.

All the aura of death gathered in this crystal ball and then poured into the ferocious zombie’s body through this crystal ball.

Obviously, this black crystal ball was the center of the altar.

He didn’t dare to touch the crystal ball.

After reaching the fierce zombie’s side, Bruce gently stretched out his bloodless bone palm and covered the fierce zombie’s forehead.

He then activated his [ corrosion ] talent.
