Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 766 - 495: Naraku Exclusive Unit, Dragon Sect Undead!

Yan Yan ignored the wounds on his body, his eyes practically glued to the books.

Fang Zhou was also overjoyed. These books might just be the greatest discovery from this exploration of the Naraku Civilization’s mage tomb! From now on, this mage tomb is mine; everything here belongs to me. These Magic Books are still useful, and I might even be able to cultivate some Undead Mages with them.

Even Master Sandro and Instructor Su Xinyan would be ecstatic if they saw these scattered Magic Books from the Naraku Civilization.

Fang Zhou quickly skimmed through them and found the creation methods for Ghouls, Dragon Bone Soldiers, and Hate Samurai—summons he had long yearned for.

These exclusive Undead of the Naraku Civilization were created using methods passed down through generations of their Undead Mages. The crafting techniques were mature and stable, and their combat power was more than sufficient. They were much stronger than native Undead Realm creatures like Advanced Zombies and Skeleton Warriors.

However, they weren’t necessarily much stronger than the Corpse Warriors, Corpse Knights, and Corrupt Hatreds synthesized by Fang Zhou’s own Corpse Clone through its Corpse Authority. After all, Fang Zhou’s Corpse Clone had genuinely grown from a mere Apprentice-Level fledgling Skeleton. It had received multiple blessings from the Undead Blood Moon and mastered the Corpse Authority.

It could be said that the Corpse Clone was essentially a Child of the Plane in the Undead Realm, one chosen by destiny. In his research and creation of Undead Creatures, he had received countless blessings and rewards from the Undead Blood Moon. From this perspective, the Corpse Clone’s conditions for research were naturally far superior to those of the Naraku Civilization’s Undead Mages.

Moreover, the two approaches weren’t mutually exclusive. If the various undead units of the Naraku Civilization could be combined with the research results of his Corpse Clone, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses, he could perhaps develop a more complete and powerful undead creature evolution tree.

By then, the Undead Mage Profession would become immensely powerful, even relying solely on the Summoning Series Skill Tree and his own Undead Summoned Creatures.

Aside from the methods for creating these Undead Creatures, Fang Zhou also found an unexpected prize: a Frost Skill Tree from the Naraku Civilization, spanning from the Apprentice to the Glory Champion Level.

This also explained why the Skeleton Mage he had fought earlier had mastered so many Frost Series spells.

Fang Zhou skimmed through some of the Skill Books and discovered that the Skeleton Mage he had just killed was a true outlier, even among the Naraku Civilization’s Undead Mages. He had first become a traditional Undead Mage. Then, based on his own interests and Talent, he had gradually transitioned, specializing in Carved Golems and Frost Series magic to become an Engraved Ice Witch. Eventually, he even advanced to become a rare powerhouse who had reached the Glory Champion Level.

Later, to extend his life and survive the cataclysm brought by the Abyssal Demons, the Skeleton Mage had resolutely prepared an ice coffin capable of preserving him for a millennium and performed the Lich Transformation Ceremony on himself.

But he was not, after all, an Undead Mage who specialized in Undead Magic. The Lich Transformation Ceremony seemed to have gone awry, only turning him into a half-baked Skeleton Mage. Over the millennium, his own energy had gradually weakened, declining from the Glory Champion Level all the way down to the Bronze Tier. In his misfortune, he finally fell into Fang Zhou’s hands.

Compared to this Skeleton Mage’s life story, Fang Zhou was more concerned about something else. The Naraku Undead civilization wasn’t quite as he had understood it, with everyone being an Undead Mage. It seemed that because the creatures of the Naraku Civilization possessed an extraordinary innate affinity for Death Attribute energy, many Professions that utilized Undead Attribute energy had been developed. The Undead Mage was simply the strongest, most complete, and most numerous of these Professions.

One can learn from the example of others to improve one’s own skills.

Although Fang Zhou was on the grand path of the Undead Mage Profession and couldn’t directly use the Frost Skill Tree left behind by the Skeleton Mage who had converted from an Engraved Ice Witch, it was still an immeasurable treasure. He could either transfer these precious and complete skill inheritances from the Naraku Civilization to the Undead Mage research project team or even the Sea City Military Academy for a large number of contribution points, or he could use them for his own Skill Deduction.

At the very least, its value wasn’t limited to Fang Zhou’s personal improvement. It could also bring extraordinary benefits to the entire Undead Mage Profession, and even all Frost Attribute Professionals on Blue Star.

...

After inspecting the research lab and reaping a bountiful harvest, Fang Zhou turned to Yan Yan.

"Let’s go. We’ll take care of the remaining enemies in the Carved Workshop."

"Please follow me, Lieutenant Fang Zhou!"

Yan Yan led the way to the innermost part of the area, where they came to a wall.

"There it is!" Yan Yan pointed at the wall and said, "There’s a rune mechanism on that wall. Those guys are trapped inside and can’t get out!"

"Prepare yourselves," Fang Zhou said, his voice as cold as ice. "All wounded, stand well back... Yan Yan, open the door."

Soon, the door opened.

Nine Corrupt Hatreds, arranged in three rows, charged in. They were followed by Olaf, the Six-armed Snake Demon Warrior, and the Undead Army of Corpse Warriors and Corpse Knights.

Finally, Yan Yan, Lin Qingshan, and the members of the Flame Medal Adventurer Group entered.

This wasn’t a decisive battle, as the most difficult fight was already over. This was merely the clean-up; that was all.

Few guards remained in the Carved Workshop.
