Chapter 396 Skeleton Commander, a luxurious attribute panel!
After several days of testing, Ark has gradually mastered the arrangement and cyclical use of various skills on its newly revamped skill panel.
He practiced repeatedly, adjusting the timing and order of skill release to ensure that he could maximize the power of these skills in actual combat.
In terms of combat power alone, compared to his sparring with Gu Yueyuan on the arena a few days ago, his strength has made a terrifying leap.
Fangzhou looked at his attribute panel with satisfaction:

Overall, Ark has become a formidable and well-rounded Iron-tier necromancer.
These past few days of trade fairs have provided Fangzhou with an excellent opportunity to accelerate the transformation of his accumulated knowledge into practical skills.
To achieve the same rate of expansion in strength as in the past few days, it will probably take some time for them to accumulate strength again.
He stood up, turned and walked toward the meditation room.
Tonight, he plans to control his skeletal clones once again to carry out a large-scale massacre in order to further enhance his strength.
Tomorrow, we will welcome the final stage of this grand trading event: the Treasure Appraisal Conference.
A blood moon hangs in the sky amidst hills of corpses.
The air was thick with the smell of decay, and the occasional scraping of skulls and low growls sent chills down one's spine.
Protected by a multitude of skeletal warriors, the skeletal clone slowly opened its ferocious crimson eyes.
In the past few days, while the main body of the Ark has been consuming resources, its clones have been hunting in the central area of the Corpse Hills.
Time management has already reached its limit when you can briefly multitask.
During this period of hunting, Ark discovered an important change.
Under the Skeleton Lord's influence, the skeleton commanders under its command all acquired rudimentary intelligence.
Having intelligence means having memory. Even if this memory is extremely simple, containing only the direction and route of the skeleton horde's patrols, as well as commands from higher-level skeletons, and so on.
After devouring the second skeleton cluster, the Ark obtained the patrol routes of several other skeleton clusters from the memory of the skeleton centurion and immediately went to hunt them down.
Unsurprisingly, with Ark's current strength, crushing these skeleton centurions would be a piece of cake.
Over several days, relying on information gleaned from the memories of the Skeleton Centurions, the Ark annihilated two Skeleton Battalions led by Skeleton Centurions, as well as more than ten Skeleton Squadrons led by Skeleton Centurions.
The mere act of devouring these clusters of skeletons caused the Ark's soul power to surge by thousands of points.
This was still the result of his process of separating the wheat from the chaff, absorbing only the most valuable parts.
However, the easy raid has now come to an end.
because.
The true enemy of the Corpse Doppelganger has arrived.
One good news, one bad news.
The good news is that Ark has finally figured out why it receives so little soul power from these commanded skeletons.
These skeleton warriors, forcibly enslaved by the Skeleton Lord through the Bone Token, have been forced to offer their Soulfire Cores to the Skeleton Lord.
After being filtered by the skeletal talismans, a portion of their soul power was returned to their own soul fire, but the crucial core of their soul fire was mercilessly devoured by the skeletal lord.
Although the skeleton warriors' combat power was not significantly reduced despite the blessing of the skeletal talisman, they were still formidable opponents.
However, in terms of the abundance of soul power, it is far inferior to that of a skeleton warrior in its normal free state.
As for why this is good news, it's because Fangzhou believes that the soul fire cores of these thousands of skeleton warriors are concentrated with the Skeleton Lord.
This means that once he is able to defeat the Skeleton Lord, he can naturally inherit that large amount of Soulfire Cores.
The spiritual power contained within must be an astronomical figure.
It can be said that Ark regards the Skeleton Lord as the most powerful enemy it has encountered since its awakening, and also its most valuable treasure.
The other bad news is that the Skeleton Commander has appeared.
The Skeleton Centurions and Skeleton Clusters in Ark Hunt all belong to the Skeleton Lord.
When he hunted the first and second skeleton hordes, the Skeleton Lord did not react.
But when the number of skeletons he hunted reached seven or eight—
Perhaps it was an order from the Skeleton Lord, or perhaps it was an order from the Skeleton Centurion, but within a large surrounding area, there were no longer any lone clusters of skeletons.
All the skeletons under the Skeleton Lord's command were gathered under the Skeleton Centurion's command!
And under the command of the Skeleton Commander, they began searching for the ark!
Without those easily defeated skeleton centurions, the Ark naturally lost its source of soul power.
This is certainly bad news.
However, Ark's original plan was to hunt down the power of the Skeleton Lord Moxia in order to prepare resources for his four attributes to reach perfection and break through to the Bronze rank.
Now that the Skeleton Commander has taken the initiative to attack, although it has increased the difficulty and forced the Ark to face a more powerful enemy, it has also allowed the Ark to improve its strength more quickly.
This should be considered good news, right?
Among the hills of corpses.
After seeing the Skeleton Commander's movements from the skeletal bats hovering high in the sky, the Ark stopped and waited for the Skeleton Commander to attack.
While waiting, he opened his attribute panel.
After hunting down more than ten skeleton clusters, Ark's physical attribute, after its strength attribute, reached the pinnacle of 100 points.
These attributes may not be as good as the Skeleton Lord, but they are not far off.
He can even kill a skeleton centurion in one hit!
The Ark is not worried about the mutated skeleton commanders under the leadership of the Skeleton Centurion.
Even without the help of his skeleton minions, he could move freely with his current strength.
His only concern was how to kill the Skeleton Commander amidst the vast sea of skeletons!
After a moment of contemplation, Fangzhou focused his attention on the few thousand points of soul power he still had left.
These are the results of his continuous gambling on stones over the past few days.
There aren't many existing skills to deduce for the main body right now, but the clone still has a lot of potential to be explored in the general skills of the current Iron-level combat class.
After all, most of the common skills used by Black Iron-level combatants by the clone are activated using their own death energy.
This is very different from the original design by humans on Earth, which used battle qi to power it.
The conversion between different types of energy inevitably leads to some unnecessary losses.
With a major battle against the Skeleton Commander imminent, Ark has decided to adjust a few key skills first.
During this time, he also followed Instructor Lu Hu to analyze many excellent skills of combat professionals, and using them as skill materials for his own skeletal clones was no problem at all.
He looked at his clone's skill panel, hesitated for a moment, and decided to first enhance the three common skills for Black Iron-level warriors: Brutal Strike, Whirlwind Strike, and Battle Aura Slash.
Furthermore, he had already prepared a plan for the direction of the enhancement.
Brutal Strike naturally enhances the efficiency of utilizing death energy and increases single-target damage.
Whirlwind Strike, on the other hand, expands the attack range and reduces the loss of death energy.
Battle Qi Slash naturally increases range and has special lethality against undead creatures.
With the consumption of thousands of soul power and contribution points, all the combat skill books and skill insights that Ark had prepared beforehand were integrated into his mind.
This accumulation of knowledge and experience provided him with strong theoretical support.
Fangzhou closed his eyes, concentrated, and integrated this knowledge and skills one by one.
Soon, the enhanced versions of Brutal Strike, Whirlwind Strike, and Battle Aura Slash skills were freshly released.
[Deadly Strike] (Black Iron Grade, Perfect): Death energy is infused into the weapon, instantly unleashing immense power to attack a single enemy, ignoring some defensive resistances and causing devastating damage. Power depends on Strength attribute, Death Energy intensity, and skill proficiency.
【Death Whirlwind】(Black Iron Grade, Perfect): This skill concentrates death energy into the weapon, causing it to spin rapidly like a top, dealing continuous damage to enemies in a wide area. Movement is possible while using this skill. Skill effects, attack range, and duration depend on skill proficiency, death energy intensity, and strength attribute.
【Death Energy Slash】(Black Iron Grade, Perfect): This skill harnesses death energy to create an extremely sharp blade of energy that can attack enemies within a certain range. Depending on the user's energy attribute, it can provide additional skill effects to the Death Energy Slash. The blade's strength, skill effects, and attack range are determined by the user's death energy strength, strength attribute, and skill proficiency.
not bad.
Fangzhou looked at the attribute panel of his clone and felt a sense of satisfaction.

With the ultimate enhancements to Deadly Strike, Death Cyclone, and Death Energy Slash, he had absolute confidence in cutting down the menacing Skeleton Commander!
Everything is just waiting for the arrival of the Skeleton Commander!
Time passed slowly.
Guided by the clues deliberately left behind by Ark, the enemy Ark was waiting for arrived in just a few hours.
The first thing that catches the eye is a stark white.
After more than ten skeleton clusters of varying sizes were crippled and devoured, the Skeleton Commander, who had already acquired a certain level of intelligence, naturally wouldn't be careless.
When it appeared before the Ark, it was accompanied by a full-strength skeletal battle group of ten thousand men!
What does it mean to command a full-strength skeleton army under the command of a skeleton commander?
From the moment the Skeleton Commander appeared, a dense sea of skeletons spread out from afar, filling the entire wasteland within sight!
Looking around, there were at least seven or eight thousand various melee skeletons on this wasteland.
Among these melee skeletons, the one at the very front is still the giant shield skeleton warrior.
-
They were tall and strong, wielding huge shields, and their formation was tight, like an unbreakable wall, blocking any possible attack.
Compared to the skeleton horde led by the skeleton centurions, these skeleton warriors were mixed with several times more skeleton centurions!
