Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 26 My life in Ark 1: I love bullying the weak!

The skeleton's body bones began to spontaneously assemble into a complete set of skeletal armor.

This armor is made up of countless layers of bone plates that are precisely stacked. The layered structure not only enhances its defensive capabilities but also gives it a more powerful sense of oppression.

The armor's creation process was like natural growth, spreading from the spine to the limbs until it covered the entire body.

The bone plates at each joint fit perfectly, as if they were born for battle.

The thick, sturdy bony armor on its chest protects the weak core inside, while a sharp bony crown forms on its head, symbolizing the transformation of its identity.

Finally, when the complete set of skeletal armor was finished, the skeleton clone had grown to over two meters tall.

【Bone Armor】(White Common): Armor formed from the essence of bones, which can slightly increase the body's defense.

Fang Zhou clenched his bone fist, and his entire body armor clanged loudly.

The power, several times stronger than before, made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Cool!

He then looked at the clone's attribute panel—

[Clone] Skeleton Warrior

[Tier] Black Iron - Lower Rank

[Attributes] Strength 30, Constitution 30, Agility 30, Spirit 30

[Equipment] Skeleton Spear (White Common), Skeleton Armor (White Common)

[Skills] Skeleton King (Black Iron, Instinct), Skeleton Armament (Black Iron, Instinct), Brutal Strike (Apprentice, Mastery), Charge (Apprentice, Proficiency), Weapon Specialization (Apprentice, Proficiency), Parry (Apprentice, Skilled), War Cry (Apprentice, Skilled)

[Soul Power] 20

Compared to before, there has been a tremendous change, and it was well worth the month that Ark spent working tirelessly to level up and fight monsters.

However, Fangzhou did not become too complacent about his increased strength.

People without thought, he must worry about.

The skeleton clone's strength is probably considered quite good among the lower-ranked skeleton warriors of the Black Iron tier.

But in Fangzhou's eyes, it was just a brand new beginning.

At least, the benefits that apprentice-level skills like Brutal Strike, Charge, and Weapon Specialization provide to the Skeleton Clone are not as significant as before.

Accustomed to brute force and overwhelming power, Ark is not satisfied with these few skills that stop at the apprentice level.

To master a Black Iron-level skill, the most direct way is naturally to exchange for it in the Human Alliance skill library, as usual, and then consume soul power to quickly get started.

However, with the current F-level access, the user can only exchange for some apprentice-level skills and is not qualified to exchange for iron-level skills.

Even with the necessary permissions, a Black Iron-level skill book costs hundreds of contribution points, which is beyond what Ark can afford right now.

This path is temporarily blocked.

As for the other path, it's a bit more complicated.

The apprentice-level skills that Ark chose for the skeleton clones all have great potential.

According to Fangzhou's speculation, with his intelligence and the slight help from the attribute panel, he should have a chance to deduce their superior skills.

However, this places high demands on his skill proficiency and soul power reserves.

After much deliberation, Fangzhou decided to conduct an experiment with [Brutal Strike].

First, try to raise it to the [Instinct] level of proficiency, then try to deduce it by consuming soul power and see what the result is.

Before that, the skeleton clone should stay in the outer area of ​​the Burial Wasteland for a while, killing some apprentice-level skeletons to accumulate some soul power.

The path to becoming stronger is already very clear, and Ark will not waste any more time.

He controlled his skeleton clone, which had reached the lower level of Black Iron, clad in armor and wielding a spear, as it swept deeper into the Burial Wasteland.

The upgrade principle that Ark set for its skeleton clones is always to crush them with brute force and deliver a devastating blow!

When apprentices are demoted, they bully the newly recruited, weak skeletons.

When you're an apprentice, go and bully the skeletons who are lower-ranking apprentices.

When an apprentice rises to a higher rank, they wreak havoc among the apprentice skeletons.

Now that he's reached the lower Iron rank, he naturally needs to switch his opponent to the upper Apprentice rank Skeleton.

......

On the outskirts of the dimly lit Burial Wasteland, a phosphorescent flame flickered, illuminating the figure of a massive, iron-ranked skeleton warrior wielding a long spear and clad in armor.

Compared to the Ark's skeletal clones, the surrounding apprentice-level skeletons seemed as fragile as toy figurines.

Facing the onrushing skeletons, Ark remained unmoved, its eye sockets gleaming with cold soul fire.

Brutal strike!

Then, he paused, and thrust his spear forward suddenly, a sharp spear shadow slicing through the air, pointing directly at the nearest skeleton.

boom!

The skeletal spear pierced the skull of the skeleton with unerring accuracy, pinning it to the hard ground.

As the spear was pulled out, the skeleton instantly turned into dust and scattered on the ground.

The faint essence of bone contained within was absorbed into Ark's body, making the luster on its bones even deeper.

Immediately afterwards, the skeleton clone swayed, drifting erratically like a ghost in the wind.

As the spear danced, it was like a blooming flower of death; with each thrust, slash, and sweep, it took away the soul fire of a skeleton.

Although the apprentice-level skeletons fought back with all their might, they were as vulnerable as children facing giants before the skeleton clones; it was a one-sided massacre.

If these skeletons possessed intelligence, they would surely despise the Ark's bullying and oppressive behavior.

In fact, the Ark has already obtained very little bone essence and soul power from these apprentice skeletons.

He simply wanted to use these excellent targets to practice Brutal Strike, and wanted to quickly raise it to the level of Instinct proficiency.

Two hours of slaughter had passed, yet the soul flames of the skeleton clones still shone brightly.

Only then did Fangzhou feel a deep weariness welling up in his soul.

He felt a slight surge of joy.

It seems that as the rank of the skeleton clone increases, the strength of his own soul also increases.

This also means that I have more time to fight monsters and level up every day.

Fangzhou refocused his attention on his main body, his heart filled with anticipation.

Looking at the attribute panel, he was delighted to find that his rank had indeed been raised to the middle level of apprentice, and his four-dimensional attributes had also been greatly improved.

[Attributes] Strength 3.9, Agility 3.9, Constitution 3.9, Spirit 6

Leaving aside the spirit attribute, the three attributes of strength, agility, and constitution are already approaching 4.

According to Ark's estimation, Ye Fan, as a Demon Hunter combatant, might have lower strength, constitution, and agility attributes than himself.

Ark unleashed the Bone Spear skill again, condensing a bone spear, and sensed that its power had increased by at least 50% compared to before.

He took a deep breath and looked at the skill bar.

"Detected that the clone [Skeleton King] has reached the [Instinct] proficiency level and can be used as skill material to deduce unknown skills for the main body. It is estimated that it will consume 10 points of soul power."

"Shall we begin the simulation?"
