Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 819 - 521: Summoning List, Springtime for Undead Mages! (Part 2)

Among all the Undead Creatures, what makes the Ghoul stand out the most is its burst power.

When a Ghoul devours enough flesh and blood, or sacrifices its own flesh as the price, it can obtain an extremely high enhancement for a short period of time.

This explosive enhancement allows a Ghoul to contend with higher-tier creatures, and it can even, in a one-on-one encounter, kill higher-tier creatures that are not adept at physical strength.

Considering the Summoning cost and Mana consumption, the Ghoul has extremely high cost performance, capable of erupting with higher-tier Combat Ability once certain conditions are met.

Fang Zhou likewise projected the standard Ghoul unit illustration he had discovered in the Naraku Civilization ruins.

This was a three-meter-tall upright monster, its whole body covered in dark-red fur.

Its pair of blood-red eyes were as large as bronze bells, its claws and fangs thick and sharp, its entire body brimming with Undead Aura.

It could actively restrain its aura, and could remain utterly silent even while moving at high speed.

Master Sandro and Instructor Su Xinyan, reading this description of the Ghoul’s burst power, felt their hearts itch with desire.

Next was the "Stone Golem."

In the illustration, its entire body had an obsidian texture, covered in magnificent dark-purple patterns, with a pair of wings on its back, a wingspan of nearly ten meters, a height of several meters, and a grotesque, ferocious face.

Back when Instructor Su Xinyan received Fang Zhou’s call for help in Cave No. 1 and went to resolve the Desecration Torch crisis, she had successfully Summoned a Golden Tier Stone Golem once.

This large flying Undead Creature could seize air superiority, act as airborne troops, and serve as a front line unit, and it was extremely resistant to punishment.

What made the "Stone Golem" even more valuable was that it possessed an extraordinary energy-absorbing Talent.

This Talent could greatly reduce the Magic damage the Stone Golem received, and convert part of that Magic damage into its own Energy.

It also possessed a certain anti-magic ability: Mage-type units trapped by a Stone Golem would need to pay several times the effort and time to bring out the full effect of their Magic.

Another type, the "Giant Bat Wolf," was a purely aerial unit, with its own Combat Ability, adept at various breaths, energy bombs, and also possessing bombing capability.

Its body was enormous, nearly ten meters from head to tail; its abdominal cavity was hollow and of great capacity, allowing it to serve as an airship for deploying airborne troops.

The "Death Announcing Guard" was a ranged unit.

In the illustrations, they were a kind of humanoid Undead Creature.

Their bodies were twisted and swollen, not in the least conforming to human aesthetics, wearing leather and bandages as clothing.

The skin exposed outside was pale and bloodless, with no breath at all; at first glance they looked like terrifying corpses.

They held exquisite, ornate Longbows in their hands, and at their belts hung horns inscribed with mysterious patterns, metal Chains, and short blades.

This was the Death Announcer set that the Naraku Civilization had prepared for these Death Announcing Guards.

The "vision" of Death Announcing Guards was exceptional, their arm strength extremely strong; they could use bows and arrows, and their bows came in many varieties and could be adjusted and modified.

Their Arrows possessed Enchantment properties, to which effects such as "Armor-Piercing," "Withering," "Violent Death," "Sure Hit," and "Explosion" could be added.

The several Naraku Civilization-exclusive Undead units that followed were only preserved in a few broken images and textual descriptions.

What Fang Zhou had collected was merely a fragment sufficient to showcase a sliver of their might, leaving vast room for imagination.

For example, the Dream Hunter, possessing a large-area forced-dreaming ability, was more inclined toward Spirit control and Spirit killing.

It was a Ghost Series Undead Creature, and its body also had a special phasing effect, allowing it to be immune to the vast majority of physical damage and to conceal its own aura.

This was a Battlefield Assassin, responsible for assassinating high-value strategic units on the battlefield.

The "Flesh Giant" was a pure front line and shield, around ten meters tall, with extremely strong damage-soaking capability and extremely strong close-combat ability.

However, its massive stature was both its strength and its weakness; mobility was its greatest shortcoming.

Its means of attack were single—only its fists for physical output; its role was to soak damage and break fortifications, its strengths and weaknesses both extraordinarily obvious as an Undead unit.

Fang Zhou continued projecting the data; next came an extremely rare Undead Creature possessing casting ability—the Curse Heart Corpse Witch.

The Curse Heart Corpse Witch was a Mage-type Undead unit.

They were a variant of Corpse Witches, and at the very least possessed Golden Level strength.

These Curse Heart Corpse Witches had Mastered all kinds of Magic and Curses, could command Undead Creatures of a lower Tier than themselves, or mass-produce Low Tier Undead Creatures such as Skeleton Warriors, Advanced Zombies, Ghouls, and the like.

Just like that Naraku Civilization Skeleton Mage Fang Zhou had previously encountered, the greatest advantage of the Curse Heart Corpse Witch lay in its possession of a natal "Soul Box."

Even if the body of a Curse Heart Corpse Witch was destroyed, as long as the Summoner still held the Curse Heart Corpse Witch’s intact "Soul Box," the witch could be restored to fighting capacity at extremely low cost, its life-preserving ability exceedingly strong.

One could say the cannon fodder was like flowing water, but the Corpse Witches were cast of iron.

So long as the Summoner themselves did not die, and the Soul Box they held remained intact, these Curse Heart Corpse Witches would almost never be completely annihilated.

And the Curse Heart Corpse Witch had another characteristic that could not be ignored.

It could convert the corpses and souls of the enemy into its own "Servants," turning enemies into Undead Creatures for its own use.

These dead retained a portion of their lifetime Combat Ability, but suffered severe loss of memory and emotion.

Without a doubt, this was an exceedingly evil Undead unit.

A single Curse Heart Corpse Witch could rival a small Undead Legion.

Aside from the Curse Heart Corpse Witch, there was also the Soul Ash Acolyte among the Mage-type Undead Creatures.

The Curse Heart Corpse Witch was an offensive Mage; the Soul Ash Acolyte, on the other hand, was a defensive Mage.

From its illustrated image, this kind of Undead Creature wore luxurious black-gold garments, a tall crown, and held a peculiar jeweled Scepter; it was a standard humanoid Undead.

The Soul Ash Acolyte excelled at constructing Undead Series buildings, combining the traits of Mage, support, and engineer.

Its core building was the Soul Ash Array.

While presiding over the Array, the Soul Ash Acolyte would greatly strengthen all Undead Creations within its range.

This kind of Mage-type Undead Creature was extremely adept at positional warfare; they could coordinate with numerous structures to exert multiple effects.

.......

After reading through these Naraku Civilization Undead units, Instructor Su Xinyan and Master Sandro already felt their blood surging.

Each of these Naraku Civilization-exclusive Undead units was quite extraordinary.

At the very least, they were not much inferior to the Corpse Warriors, Corpse Samurai, Corpse Knights, and other Corpse Series Undead units that Fang Zhou had currently developed.

After all, these were the products of countless years of inheritance and refinement by the Naraku Civilization.

The only pity was that for these Naraku Civilization-exclusive Undead units, what remained now were only some illustrations and textual information, lacking the most crucial production methods.

At most, they could serve as a reference for Fang Zhou and other Undead Mages when they simulated future Undead units.

After obtaining these Undead unit illustration materials from Fang Zhou, Instructor Su Xinyan was already somewhat impatient, wanting to return to the laboratory and study them thoroughly.

However, at this moment Instructor Ye Haitang called out to her.

She looked at Fang Zhou, a rare expression of expectation appearing in her eyes.

"With Fang Zhou here, I’m increasingly convinced that your Undead Mage Profession will definitely restore the former glory of the Naraku Civilization.

No, you will definitely go farther and become stronger than the Naraku Civilization!"

She snapped her fingers, once again Summoning her core Totem Spirit Spiritual Spirit Robe, and said, "The Spiritual Clothes have sensed something.

Fang Zhou, that Demon Champion Soul Body you sealed is showing some activity.

Perhaps you can release it now and let us see the specific situation."

The Spiritual Clothes actually had such keen Perception of the movements of the Demon Champion Soul Body; this surprised Fang Zhou somewhat.

With three Golden Great Mages sitting in town, Fang Zhou was not worried that that broken Demon Champion Soul Body would be able to stir up any trouble.

Thus he took out the Soul-Binding Gem he kept close to his person and focused his attention on the Demon Champion Soul Body suppressed within.

Once his Mana had returned to normal, he could very clearly sense the existence of that Demon Champion Soul Body.

The white mist symbolizing Soul Shackles and Undead Mana was like Chains, piercing through its limbs and bones, wrapping and coiling around it layer upon layer, rendering it immobile.

In appearance, the Demon Champion Soul Body looked like a floating Ghost, holding a Scepter of Death, wearing a black robe and hood, and beneath the hood was the face of a Soul Judge Demon.
