Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Superior Skill, Death Cut!

There were only 6 Omni points left.

After thinking for a while, Bruce tentatively invested another 1 Omni point into the maxed-out skill, Whirlwind Combo.

It was still at Level 10.

The skill level didn’t change, and the description didn’t change either.

“I didn’t invest enough Omni points?” he said.

The soul fire in his eye sockets flickered slightly, and Bruce once again put in 1 Omni point.

There was still no change.

“Maybe…”

Looking at the remaining 4 Omni points, Bruce once again put in…

3 points!

4 points!

5 points!

When a full 5 Omni points were put in, this skill that had already swallowed a full 14 omni points from Bruce…finally changed!

The original skill disappeared.

A brand-new skill appeared on Bruce’s attributes panel.

—

[ Death Cut: active skill, high-level skill of Gale Combo, can not be upgraded. ].

—

After consuming 1/20 of his stamina, he instantly released 10 light blades that were infused with the aura of death. He performed a series of fatal cuts on the enemy, dealing a total of 20 times the normal attack damage to the enemy

Death slashes!

A new skill was born!

Moreover, it was a superior skill of the skill [ Gale Combo ] !

The stamina consumption was once again reduced by two times, and the number of light blades that were released was reduced from 12 to 10. The total amount of damage dealt had also increased from the original 12 times to 20 times.

It was a Superior Skill!

With 10 years of gaming experience in his previous life, Bruce naturally understood the concept.

The so-called superior skill was a skill that evolved from the original skill. Not only did this skill consume less energy than the original skill, but its power was also far beyond the original skill.

Another name that players used for superior skills was Boss Skill.

Just by looking at the name, one could imagine how powerful it was.

Boss skills were naturally skills that could only be obtained by a boss-level character.

Among NPCs, only those who had stepped into the heroic tier would be able to obtain such skills. Among monsters, only those who had stepped into the lord-tier, like the Skeleton King, would have such a skill.

Boss was originally the name that players used to refer to the Lord Tier, as well as the monsters above the Lord tier.

In his previous life, Boss skills, which were also superior skills, had always been the target of players. Players would hunt for such skills as much as they would hunt hidden classes, lost inheritances, or even divine equipment.

However, until the arrival of the gods and the destruction of the world, there had only been less than ten players who had obtained superior skills.

As a former legendary grand swordmaster, Bruce had never even collected information about obtaining superior-tier skills in his previous life. It was as if only monster bosses and heroic NPCs could obtain superior-tier skills.

From this, it could be seen how precious superior-tier skills were.

The opposite of precious was the power of superior-tier skills.

It could be said that even the most trashy superior-tier skills were far more powerful than the common skills or class skills that players obtained through normal means.

Death Cut was a superior skill.

It was also a Boss skill.

This was not the only skill that came to Bruce’s mind.

Death Cut was a class skill on which he had used his Omni points to upgrade Gale Combo to its maximum level before it evolved.

Did that mean that his other skill, Sky Splitter, could also reach its maximum level through this method and evolve into his second Boss skill?

Even more so, as long as he had enough Omni points.

All the skills he would obtain in the future could be upgraded into Boss skills in this way.

The first reason why Boss monsters were called that was that they had four-dimensional attributes and HP that far exceeded that of players, NPCs, and ordinary monsters, making them very difficult to raid.

The second reason was that they had Boss skills!

The existence of these extremely powerful Boss skills allowed them to easily slaughter players of the same level or those even higher. It also made it an impossible task for players to challenge the Boss in a one-on-one duel.

Only after reaching a certain level and rank and gathering enough people would they have the confidence to challenge the Boss.

Bruce smiled.

Even though skeletons couldn’t smile, Bruce felt like he was smiling.

If his prediction came true, with the support of a large number of Omni points, he could upgrade all the skills he acquired into Boss skills.

If he had enough skills, the strongest Boss in the game world was about to be born!

The evolution of Gale Combo from a normal skill to the Boss skill, Death Cut cost a total of 14 Omni points.

This also reduced Bruce’s Omni points from the original 11 points to 1 point.

He casually added the remaining 1 Omni point to Sky Splitter and raised his level from 1 to 2. Bruce gradually calmed down.

To be the strongest Boss in history—this was Bruce’s goal.

In order to complete this goal, he not only needed to raise his class template and raise his four-dimensional attributes, but he also needed to obtain a large number of Omni points and skills.

As such, his direction of development needed to be slightly improved.

He still needed to recruit skeleton underlings.

But it was enough.

Other than the skeleton underlings that he had to enslave, the rest of the skeletons would become experience points, class templates, and free points for Bruce to grow again.

As mentioned before, elite-ranked skeletons already had basic intelligence.

Having intelligence meant having memories.

As a warrior-ranked existence, the skeleton commander that Bruce killed not only had higher intelligence, but also had memories that far surpassed that of an elite skeleton.

After absorbing the skeleton commander’s bones, Bruce obtained a lot of information from it.

A large portion of it was what Bruce urgently needed.

For example, he gained information about the number and distribution of the warrior-level skeletons under the skeleton king, such as details about the ruler of the boneyard.

In general, the number of warrior-level skeletons under the Skeleton King was quite large.

Other than the eight skeleton commanders who led the eight skeleton armies, there were even more skeleton warriors in the death castle where the skeleton king resided.

Logically speaking, as the orthodox path for the skeleton race to advance, the number of skeleton commanders should be the most among the skeleton warriors.

However, in the entire boneyard, other than the unknown skeleton commanders hiding in the corners, there were only these eight skeleton commanders under the Skeleton King!

That was because the Skeleton King himself was also harvesting skeletons.

These eight skeleton commanders were the eight subordinates assigned by the Skeleton King to help him control the vast burial ground.

These eight subordinates were not fixed.

Once a new skeleton commander was born in the burial ground, they could challenge one of the eight great dukes. The winner would become a new subordinate of the Skeleton King, and the loser would be devoured by the Skeleton King.

That’s right.

Skeleton commanders were not qualified to devour the skeletons of warriors.

They could only devour the skeletons of elites and those on lower levels.

The skeletons of warriors could only be devoured by the Skeleton King.
