Chapter 9: Advanced Class: Skeleton Warrior!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Under Bruce’s command, the skeleton soldiers behind him charged towards the Level-17 skeleton soldiers.
One of the skeleton soldiers lost an arm and one of the skeleton soldiers broke a bone, but the Level-17 skeleton soldier was beheaded. The intact head was sent to Bruce by No. 1.
[ devour ] talent activated!
Enslaving skeletons!
In just a short minute, this Level-17 skeleton soldier was enslaved and became one of Bruce’s many skeleton soldiers.
After that, the Skeleton Army had 18 skeleton soldiers. They started moving again, heading deeper into the center.
Half an hour later, the second skeleton soldier appeared in front of Bruce.
Seventeen skeleton soldier underlings rushed out like a tide. In the shortest time, they crippled the skeleton soldier and gave it to Bruce to enslave.
Number of underlings: + 1
Another underling has been added to the army.
An hour later, the third skeleton soldier appeared in front of Bruce.
Number of underlings: + 1
Two hours later, the fifth skeleton soldier appeared in front of Bruce.
Number of underlings + 1
Three hours later…and it went on.
The [ devour ] talent was like a cheat.
Not only did it give Bruce four-dimensional attributes that far exceeded his level and rank, it also rapidly expanded his power like a snowball.
In less than a day after entering the central area, the number of skeleton soldiers under Bruce had reached as many as 30!
At that point, Bruce no longer aimed to increase the number of his soldiers. Instead, he planned to improve and increase his levels and that of his underlings.
In addition, Bruce had a total of 11 teams spread out. He could also expand the hunting range and hunt the skeleton soldiers in that area with extremely high efficiency.
In hunting mode, every few minutes, a new system notification would appear on Bruce’s attributes panel. Compared to when he hunted alone, he had become 10 times more efficient!
One hour…
Two hour…
Five hours…
Ten hours…
After a day, Bruce’s level had risen from Level 11 to Level 16.
His strength, agility, and vitality had all increased by 5 attribute growth points.
In addition, during this period of time, Bruce had personally killed the skeleton soldier and plundered the attribute value from its bones.
At that moment, other than the spirit attribute, his mind attribute had all broken through the 20-point threshold!
—
Strength: 23 points
Agility: 21 points
Vitality: 25 points
Spirit: 4.5 points
—
These attributes were comparable to a Level-30 skeleton soldier!
Logically speaking, the lower the level of the monster and the higher its class template, the greater its potential in the future. After all, after the class advancement, there was no attribute compensation for the previous level.
Only by suppressing the level could one obtain greater potential.
However, this point was not applicable to Bruce.
With the [ devour ] talent, he would first pile up his level and use the attribute growth obtained from leveling up to strengthen himself. When his level was high enough and his four-dimensional attributes were strong enough, he planned to crush and kill existences that were higher in level than him to obtain a higher class template.
The attributes that he lost could be completely compensated by his [ devour ] talent.
It could even be stacked higher.
If possible, he wished that he could immediately raise his level to the max level of Level 100. Then, he could slowly obtain a higher class to make up for the loss of his attributes.
A Level-100 skeleton soldier might not be a match for a Level-70 legendary grand swordmaster.
But breaking through a boneyard was still a piece of cake!
Unfortunately, this was just a fantasy.
Even with his skeleton soldier underlings, which increased his leveling speed tenfold, he still had to hunt step by step to increase his level and strength.
Time passed.
Just as Bruce was about to kill a Level-18 skeleton soldier and absorb its skeleton essence, a message suddenly appeared in front of him.
—
“Your servant, No. 25, is dead.”
—
Bruce was slightly stunned. Shortly, a second message appeared.
—
“Your servant, No. 27, is dead.”
—
It was normal for skeleton soldiers to die in battle.
This was the central area of the boneyard. A mere skeleton soldier would be easy to kill. It was extremely common for even higher-level skeletons to die in battle.
However, before he had ordered his underlings to go hunting, Bruce had ordered them to not go any deeper into the boneyard.
He was afraid that there would be many higher-level skeletons in the deeper areas.
In just over a day’s time, No. 25 and No. 27 had already raised their levels to Level 17. The three skeleton soldiers moved together in a team, but No. 25 and No. 27 were killed in less than two seconds!
Could it be that a high-level skeleton has appeared in the area?
There was no time to think.
Bruce immediately took over the control of No. 26.
His field of vision changed.
When Bruce’s field of vision was replaced by No. 26’s, he only saw more than ten skeleton soldiers surrounding an exceptionally strong and tall skeleton.
And that skeleton, which was even taller and stronger than Bruce, was raising its two-handed greatsword high up and slashing down at Skeleton Soldier No. 26.
A pale white light flashed.
When Bruce’s field of vision returned to his field of vision, a third message appeared.
—
“Your servant, No. 26, has died.”
—
Bruce was figuring out what to do next.
‘A skeleton with a class advancement?’ he thought.
Losing three skeleton soldiers was nothing. Bruce could make up for the loss in a minute.
What he saw through No. 26’s vision made Bruce’s heart flutter.
It was an advanced skeleton.
Surrounded by a group of skeleton soldiers, it was surprising that it was able to kill No. 26, who had reached Level 17 in one hit. Only a skeleton with an advanced class template could do such a thing.
Bruce did not know what advanced class this skeleton was in, but it was still very enticing to him.
He didn’t know how it appeared in that area, but as long as it was not strong enough to crush him and the 27 skeleton soldiers under his command, Bruce wanted to give it a try!
Compared to barging into a large number of active advanced skeleton regions, killing a single advanced skeleton was obviously easier.
Moreover, even if he wasn’t a match for this advanced skeleton, he could still retreat unscathed. At most, he would lose a few skeleton soldiers. He could start all over again.
With his current strength, enslaving the skeleton soldiers’ underlings was already a very easy matter.
The place where No. 26 was killed wasn’t very far from Bruce.
More than an hour later, Bruce arrived at the destination with his skeleton soldier underlings. On the way there, he had enslaved three other skeleton soldiers, replenishing his underlings to 30.
Then, three piles of bones appeared in front of Bruce.
Walking in front of these three piles of bones, Bruce bent down and carefully observed them. Other than the marks left by the sword, there were no other wounds on these three piles of bones.
In other words, these three skeleton soldiers were all killed by the advanced skeleton soldier in one hit!
Killing a Level-17 skeleton soldier in one move? Bruce could do that too.
However, he did not know what the upper limit of the advanced skeleton’s strength was.
After thinking for a while, Bruce no longer hesitated. He led his skeleton soldier underlings and chased after the opponent. For a skeleton soldier who had almost no intelligence, the advanced skeleton was gone without a trace. It would then be very difficult to find.
Oh, for Bruce, this was not a problem.
It was even taller and stronger than Bruce, and there were traces and footprints left by its ten skeleton soldiers. It allowed him to easily find the direction in which they left.
He traveled quickly.
In just half an hour, Bruce caught up with the advanced skeleton.
However, what the advanced skeleton was doing made Bruce’s heart turn cold!
The advanced skeleton was hunting, just like how he had killed his skeleton soldier with a single sword attack. When Bruce arrived, he just happened to see this advanced skeleton killing another skeleton soldier with a single sword attack!
It turned out it was not just the outer and inner skeletons that were becoming underlings.
There were skeletons that had already reached Level 10, had already been classified as skeleton soldiers, and entered the central area of the boneyard, and they were still turned into underlings raised by higher-level skeletons!
The dead skeletons were nurtured by the aura of death and became part of a skeleton clan.
The lowest-level skeletons were nourished by the aura of death and their levels increased.
The skeletons that gradually became stronger were hunted by the other skeletons and were then turned into experience points.
They turned into nutrients for the higher-level skeletons.
Advancing in the sequence was also a difficult path to take.
As long as they did not stand at the peak of the boneyard, they would not be able to escape the fate of being harvested!
When he realized this, Bruce sneered.
That’s right.
He was a skeleton.
They were all undead.
In such a monster race that slaughtered and killed, he was able to still think like a human. This was a huge mistake in itself!
It was also fortunate that he woke up early.
If he continued to think the same way, to treat the entire undead race, he was afraid that what awaited him would not be so simple!
Mobilizing the movement of more than thirty skeleton soldiers was a feat in itself.
Bruce found the advanced skeleton, and the advanced skeleton also found Bruce.
Almost immediately after killing the skeleton soldier, the advanced skeleton raised its two-handed greatsword and charged towards Bruce.
