Chapter 108: Epic Upgrade!
[Player: Zi LiyuanLV45 (230W/700WX2), Physique 733, Spirit 1076, Spiritual Power 894]
[Overall Attributes]: Health 74300, Spiritual Energy 90400, Physical Damage +893, Magic Damage +1396, Physical Defense +733, Magical Resistance +1076 Movement Speed +120%
Staring at his own attributes, Zi Liyuan was stunned on the spot.
This wasn’t just swapping a musket for a cannon; it was straight up blasting off, a rhythm soaring to the heavens!
After a change of equipment, his attributes had skyrocketed almost threefold! Awesome!
So awesome it was hard to breathe!
Especially seeing the Spiritual Energy value of over 90,000, Zi Liyuan’s eyes were nearly bursting with blood.
The second mutation enhancement of Skeleton Summoning required a minimum of 100,000 energy points, and now he was infinitely close to the requirement!
Moreover… Zi Liyuan glanced at the potions in his bag space, particularly a few that amplified attributes.
Spiritual Energy Recovery Potion (Blue, Level 40): After consuming, increases total Spiritual Energy by 15% and grants a buff that speeds up Spiritual Energy recovery, restoring 1% of total Spiritual Energy per second for 30 minutes. (Potion effects cannot stack; only one potion effect is active at a time.) By consuming this potion, his Spiritual Energy would break through 100 000 allowing him to use the Nether Crystal Core to activate the secondary mu’tation enhancements of some skills!
But before popping the potion, he first turned his attention to his skill slots.
The + behind Death Fog had already lit up, which was just one of the skills now illuminated.
It can be said that the skills that couldn’t be mutation-enhanced due to insufficient Spiritual Energy before were now all lit up with the mutation enhancement icons.
“My adorable, sexy, and charming lucky goddess wife! Wait until your hubby arrives in the Sea of Realms; I’ll definitely make you feel the love of hubby’s billions!”
What is there to hesitate at this point?
Let the mutation enhancements begin!
Diapers ready!
Pop those little pills!
Show off with the milk bottle done!
After a frenzy of potions consumed, aside from a severely swollen bladder, Zi Liyuan felt completely refreshed inside and out.
This was an epic enhancement wave!
Only when he pulled out the [Spiritual Energy Recovery Potion] did this enhancement session reach a crucial point.
Enduring the discomfort in his bladder, he voraciously devoured this vital potion, and as his Spiritual Energy broke through the 100,000 barrier, Zi Liyuan’s gaze immediately turned to the skill-Skeleton Summoning.’ [Skeleton Summoning (Level 10, -/8o,ooo)]: Using the Spirit as a conduit, it consumes 10 units of Spiritual Energy to summon 512 Skeletons from the Netherworld Realm Territory to battle foryou. (Summoned Skeletons receive bonuses: Physical Damage +18, Physical Defense +18, Health +180, derivative skills enjoy the same effects.)
At this moment, the gray “+” sign behind this skill once again lit up.
As he looked at the “+”, some information appeared in his mind.
By using a Nether Crystal Core, and expending 100,000 energy points, the Skeleton Summoning skill could be mutation-enhanced into the Elite Skeleton Summoning skill.
[Would you like to activate the Nether Crystal Core, consume 100,000 energy points, and mutation-enhance Skeleton Summoning? Yes/No?]
Without hesitation, he instantly clicked “Yes”.
There were no cool visuals, no heavenly phenomena, just a layer of gray mist seeping out from the Nether Crystal Core, wrapping around his entire skill bar. One second later, the gray mist vanished, the skill bar returned to normal, with the only difference being an additional skill next to Skeleton Summoning- Elite Skeleton Summoning!
[Elite Skeleton Summoning (Level 10)]: Using the Spirit as a conduit, consumes 100 units of Spiritual Energy to summon 512 Elite Skeletons from the Netherworld Realm Territory to battle for you. (Summoned Elite Skeletons receive incremental bonuses each level: Damage +4, Physical Defense +4, Magical Resistance +4, Health +40.)
From summoning ordinary Skeletons to summoning Elite Skeletons, the Spiritual Energy consumption increased by tenfold and the enhancement also doubled.
[Skeleton Warrior]
[Level]: LV1 (Level 10)
[Profession]: Elite Warrior
[Attributes]: Physical Damage to (50), Physical Defense 5 (45), Magical Resistance 2 (42), Health too (500).
[Skills]: Slash, Cleave
[Combat Power]: 15
The attributes of the Skeleton Warrior were more than three times stronger than that of the regular Skeleton. In this bunch of Skeleton cannon fodder, they at least lived up to the name of elite.
And behind the icon of “Elite Skeleton Summoning,” there was also a lit-up sign, indicating that this skill could also be enhanced through the mutation with a Nether Crystal Core, and now was the time!
Is there any need for hesitation?
Zi Liyuan immediately looked over, and a stream of information flooded into his brain.
Compared to the nine derivative enhancements of “Skeleton Summoning,” the skill “Elite Skeleton Summoning” had only five enhancement paths.
All of them consumed 100K units of energy, which could be used to enhance and mutate into Shield Armor Skeleton Warriors, Heavy Sword Skeleton Warriors, Sharpshooter Skeleton Warriors, Netherworld Skeleton Knights, and Netherworld Skeleton Mages.
What else is there to say? Keep popping those enhancement drugs!
[Shield Armor Skeleton Warrior]
[Level]: Level 1
[Profession]: Elite Shield Armor Defense Warrior
[Attributes]: Physical Damage to, Physical Defense 15, Magical Resistance 6 Health 500.
[Skills]: Taunt, Shield Armor Defense
[Combat Power]: 20
The Shield Armor Skeleton Warriors’ attributes were also more than three times that of the Shield Combat Skeletons, while the situation for the other types of Skeletons was more or less similar.
In other words, the combat power of Zi Liyuan’s Skeleton Army had surged by fifty percent.
Is it finally time for the Skeleton cannon fodder to rise?”
Muttering to himself, Zi Liyuan raised his hand and summoned a large force of Netherworld Skeleton Knights.
512 Netherworld Skeleton Knights, riding Skeleton warhorses with hooves aflame with nether fire, marched in neat steps, charging out from the summoning formation.
[Netherworld Skeleton Knight, Level 10, Physical Damage 212, Physical Defense 90, Magical Resistance 53, Health 1500, Skills: Charge, Wild Rush Assault]
Compared to Skeleton Knights, the Netherworld Skeleton Knights had more than tripled their base attributes, but with Zi Liyuan’s skill system boost, their total attributes at the same Level 10 had only increased by a third.
After all, the foundation of Skeletons was too weak, even as an elite template, possibly inferior to the ordinary warriors of some regular races.
But being able to strengthen his forces at such a critical moment was still quite nice for Zi Liyuan.
“Finally, it’s over, my bladder was about to burst.”
He exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at his newly updated skill bar, especially the additional skills, feeling extremely satisfied.
Thus, Zi Liyuan’s gaze turned toward the many hero BOSSes still charging at him.
With a grin and a grand wave of his hand, he once again perched atop Lao Tie’s neck, commanding a thousand-strong Netherworld Skeleton Cavalry Corps as they launched their Charge Skill at the hero BOSSes.
Aren’t we supposed to take out the mules and horses for a walk?
He cast a sweeping curse of increased damage, and then the Netherworld
Knights collided with the numerous BOSSes.
Men and horses fell all around.
The front row BOSSes, hit at high speed, were sent flying backwards, crashing into a large group of BOSSes behind them.
The Netherworld Knights in the front row of the charge were also shattered into broken skeletons, with bones scattering wildly through the air.
Well, the Skeleton cannon fodder was still that same old Skeleton cannon fodder, not a bit changed –
