Chapter 210: Chapter 192 Exchange at the Treasure Pavilion_2
Zi Liyuan now has nearly three thousand Soul Value, and his Death Ripple’s coverage can reach nearly three thousand kilometers in diameter, with damage being a combination of Soul Value and skill level bonuses.
This is a godly skill for clearing minor monsters, more suitable for such tasks than the Corpse Explosion Technique.
The Forest of Bones is an attack and defense integrated control skill, which summons a sea of undead bones to encircle and attack the enemy. The coverage is also related to Soul Value, equivalent to ten times less than the maximum range of the Soul scan.
Strictly speaking, the Calamity of Bones is a skill for reviving skeletal undead, infusing death energy into the earth to release the buried skeletal undead. Its coverage is vast, five times the distance of the Soul scan!
And this skill is also one of the prerequisite skills for the forbidden spell “Undead Calamity” that practitioners of death-related professions can learn!
Upon inquiry, he realized why so few practitioners of death-related professions possess the forbidden spell “Undead Calamity”, it’s because this skill requires a combination of over ten prerequisite skills before one can learn and use it.
The other thirty Skill Books are related to poison, curses, and support skills, with the support skills accounting for the most—fifteen in total.
The support abilities of practitioners of death-related professions are mostly various weakening skills against monsters, with very few buffing and enhancement skills available.
The poison skills are mostly various damaging spells. What caught Zi Liyuan’s attention were the “Poison Spear” and “Poison Enchantment” skills.
The direct damage of “Poison Spear” is less than half of that of “Bone Spear”, but it has the advantage of poisoning the target, causing continuous poison damage.
The total damage from both immediate and sustained poison damage exceeds that of “Bone Spear” at the same level.
Of course, this ideal situation assumes that the poisoned target has no way to remove the poison damage over time, waiting for the duration to end before dealing maximum damage.
Regrettably for Zi Liyuan, poison skills cannot be strengthened through the mutation of Nether Crystal Cores, otherwise, “Poison Spear” could definitely become another spell for massive single-target damage.
As for the “Poison Enchantment” skill, it has raised Zi Liyuan’s overall damage by quite a bit.
Just by the name of this skill, one would know its purpose, but its enchantment isn’t limited to equipment or items on one particular part.
In essence, this skill comes with no enchantment restrictions and can attach poison effects to any object.
With this, the operational space is significantly increased, such as adding poison effects to Lao Tie, enhancing his attacks with additional poison damage.
Though the poison effect doesn’t cause much damage on its own, it is ongoing, and if fully applied, the damage can be substantial. Moreover, one enchantment can last for an hour.
The only pity is that this skill can only be used one-on-one, cannot be applied to groups, and has a 15-second cooldown period. Dealing with cooldowns is frustrating.
Curses, on the other hand, are diverse and peculiar, such as silence curses, specified elemental rejection curses, and so on. Learning these skills means being well-prepared for any eventuality.
Maybe one day you’ll encounter a group of monsters that are vulnerable to a particular curse, right?
The fifty-two Skill Books in total cost twelve thousand Contribution Value, reducing by a fifth what Zi Liyuan had begged from the second-year students.
But this was just the beginning. Next, he started searching for items and materials to enhance his summoned creatures, especially treasures that can bestow Boss templates.
Heart of Steel, an item that allows the evolution of Stone Demon Puppets into rare Boss templates.
The first result of his search corresponded to the enhancement of summoned creatures like Stone Demon Puppets. Alas, Zi Liyuan had merged and mutated all Stone Demon skills to create a Hell Demon Puppet and granted Lao Tie a Silver Hero Boss template.
Scanning through search results, all puppet-related items were passed over, followed by enhancement treasures for skeletal creatures.
Skeleton King Crown, an item that allows Skeletons to evolve into rare Boss templates.
Even as rare Bosses, fragile Skeletons remain at the bottom amongst creatures of the same rank. The only advantage might be their ability to command many Skeletons of a lower template.
However, upon inspecting the limits, a rare Skeleton King Boss can command at most ten thousand minor Skeleton monsters.
After some contemplation, especially after seeing that the Skeleton King Crown only costs a thousand Contribution Value each, he didn’t hesitate to place an order for ten.
Evolve ten rare Skeleton King Bosses, and he could command a Skeleton Army of a hundred thousand—a veritable Skeleton Sea.
Skeletons might be fragile, but in sufficient numbers, they can delay enemies quite effectively.
After all, even if it’s ten thousand pigs, killing them all would take a significant amount of time, let alone a Skeleton Army of a hundred thousand.
Zombie Heart, Spectre Heart,… Heart of Fear, every kind of undead summoning boss template treasure can be found here, it’s just that the cost in contribution value is different for each.
The most expensive among them is the Heart of Fear, each of which requires 20,000 contribution value.
However, the thought of a formation of hero-level Dread Knight bosses, who, despite their inability to fly, is not the slightest bit less impressive than a Bone Dragon, and is in fact even more terrifying.
For this reason, he placed another order, purchasing 9, just enough to put together a squad of 10 Dread Knights.
Watching his contribution value drop by a large margin once again, Zi Liyuan also felt a twinge of annoyance in his heart.
Having scrounged up more than five hundred thousand, and with the various awards from joining the school, he only had six hundred and sixty thousand contribution value in hand, yet after purchasing just a few items, nearly a third of his wealth was gone.
He sighed softly, passing over the various summoning enhancement items, his gaze rested on a giant dragon skeleton.
[Red Dragon Skeleton (Gold): A complete red dragon skeleton exuding a faint dragon majesty, can be used as a material to summon a Bone Dragon, summoning a rare boss template Bone Dragon. (One-time item)]
“Damn it, isn’t this one of the awards from breaking the secret realm record before?”
Just looking at this thing made him feel a pang of pain.
If it were possible to summon a hero boss template Bone Dragon, Zi Liyuan wouldn’t hesitate for a second to buy loads of these things.
But a rare boss template, with only a mere 300% boost in all attributes, what could that amount of strength do?
While the Bone Dragon is still a fourth-order undead creature, compared to Lao Tie, the Spider Queen, or the Spider Demon, the difference is significant.
In the end, the Stone Demon Puppet, the resurrected Spider Queen, and the summoned Spider Demon all count as third-order undead creatures, one significant rank below the Bone Dragon.
But in terms of strength, the difference is like night and day; Lao Tie goes without saying, a super-limit monster created through fusion and mutation.
The Spider Queen and the Spider Demon are equally powerful, legendary and epic templates that leave this Bone Dragon far behind.
Is Lao Tie not tempting enough?
Or is the Spider Queen not voluptuous and gorgeous enough?
Or are the dual blades of the Spider Demon not sharp enough?
So, why bother spending 50,000 contribution value to purchase this thing?
Moreover, in order to summon a Bone Dragon, one needs to obtain a Dragon Soul, otherwise, having just the material is not enough to summon the Bone Dragon.
“Damn~ truly the disgrace of fourth-order beings, this Bone Dragon doesn’t have any presence at all.”
Moving past the various items for summoning special undead bosses, Zi Liyuan began to look at various special materials.
The first category of materials took him by surprise.
Because it’s all about corpse materials!
Full Corpse of the Frost Giant (Epic), Complete Skeleton of the Mammoth War Elephant (Epic)…
There are dozens of epic boss corpses in total, and he was quite envious.
A Necromancer who has mastered the “Resurrection” skill, as long as they are willing to dig graves and explore various ancient ruins, can unearth all sorts of powerful monster corpses, but generally, the highest they get is a Lord Boss.
With so many epic boss corpses here, if he could get all of them, wouldn’t that be a proper epic boss-level force?
But just one look at the contribution value required for these epic boss corpses, his heart chilled by half.
The cheapest one demanded 100,000 contribution value each, and the most expensive, the Frost Giant’s corpse, required 250,000 contribution value!
That’s a rip-off!
