Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 446 Clone Evolution, Corpse Knight Lord!

Sylvanas is now able to reliably produce Dark Iron-grade artificial undead.

However, due to the lack of a necromancy summoning space to store these created undead on one's person, there are still many problems to be overcome in carrying and releasing them in actual combat.

Fangzhou and Instructor Su Xinyan embraced and looked at each other, having gained an understanding of the focus of their work going forward.

The most important thing next is for the skeletal clone to break through the bronze bottleneck as soon as possible, advance to the bronze undead, kill the skeleton lord, and inherit its rich legacy.

The main focus is on further refining the Soul and Corruption skills, and exploring the possibility of creating a Necropolis.

Seeing the defiant look in Instructor Su Xinyan's eyes, Fang Zhou smiled slightly and got back to work with renewed vigor.

Next, Fangzhou resumed his familiar busy life.

While the main body digested and absorbed the spoils of the Forest of Nature, the skeletal clone was also busy running around non-stop.

The hunting range of his skeletal minions gradually expanded from the central area and inner layers of the Corpse Hills outwards.

The number of skeletons hunted each day represents the progress the Ark makes in absorbing the essence of corpses and in the evolution of its race.

Finally, after half a month, Ark experienced another surge in size.

.

This also signifies that he has officially begun racial evolution.

He is now in the gray area between the Black Iron Undead and the Bronze Undead. The Skeleton Armament talent from the Skeleton race and the Corruption Avatar talent from the Zombie race are working together, allowing Ark to now possess a third piece of zombie-themed weaponry of his own.

In the darkness, the Ark once again felt a mysterious connection with the blood moon overhead.

A notification also appeared in the properties panel.

"Your four-dimensional attributes have reached the limit for your current rank. You have received the blessing of the Underworld!"

Suddenly, a dense ray of blood moonlight was drawn down and condensed on the corpse clone.

"Detected that the four-dimensional attributes have reached the racial limit, you can consume soul power to initiate racial evolution."

"Currently, the race is at the Iron level [Skeleton Warlord], with an unknown evolutionary direction. New skeletal weapons can be acquired, and it is estimated to consume 10000 points of soul power."

Fangzhou looked at the clone's skill bar, and sure enough, the skill [Corpse Armament] hovered between the Iron and Bronze levels.

He had a sudden realization: with each major advancement, he could condense a unique piece of equipment using corpse armor.

So, what kind of equipment should we craft?

Shields, javelins, bows and arrows, daggers...

Fangzhou had naturally anticipated this.

He decisively chose the mutated skeletal warhorse, the Yellow Springs Nightmare, which he had subdued for a long time, as his third piece of skeletal weaponry, completely evolving himself from an infantryman into an undead cavalryman unlike any he had ever seen before.

This is also the optimal solution that Fangzhou came up with after much thought.

Since the low-level undead roster did not have the assault unit he desired, Ark simply took advantage of his unique ability to create an unprecedentedly powerful cavalry.

Simple skeletal warhorses are not enough to bear the heavy responsibility of charging into battle.

Then refine it into a skeleton mount, creating a brand new type of skeletal cavalry.

That's right, Ark is preparing to erase the original will of the Yellow Springs Nightmare and completely refine it into a part of itself.

A regular Iron-tier skeleton wouldn't be able to do this, but the Ark possesses the Skeleton King skill, blessed by the Blood Moon of the Dead, making it incredibly easy to erase the will of the Nightmare of the Underworld.

After sensing the desire emanating from within his body, Fang Zhou decisively placed his large hand on the head of the Yellow Springs Nightmare.

Refine it for me!

Through the absolute dominance of the soul connection, the original will of the Yellow Springs Nightmare was erased by the Ark without any power to resist.

Fangzhou then flipped over and mounted the soulless Huangquan Nightmare, activating the Corpse Armament skill.

As if by natural order, it merged with the Yellow Springs Nightmare beneath its crotch.

Under the effect of the Corpse Armor, the Ark's Corpse Doppelganger and the Nightmare of the Underworld are tightly connected by their bone fragments and flesh.

The size of the Nightmare of the Underworld also increased and deformed as the Ark transmitted the energy from the corpses, making it more suitable for riding and driving the Ark.

Furthermore, the Ark's originally incredibly sturdy skeletal armor was extended and covered over the Nightmare of the Underworld, transforming it into a terrifying war behemoth.

The original skeletal clone was already terrifying and ferocious enough. After fusing with the skeletal warhorse and turning it into its third piece of skeletal weaponry, the Ark became a unified human and horse. Judging from its appearance alone, it was by no means inferior to the Heavenly Knights that the Ark had imagined in the Soul Battlefield.

"Has the evolution begun?"

The Ark looked up at the blood moon; the auspicious time had arrived. Evolution would begin!

As the soul power was consumed, countless streams of essence that had settled in the bones surged within the Ark's body.

His mind raced with the hunting and growth he had experienced over the past six months, and a realization dawned on him.

The way of death is the way of killing.

The way of killing is the way of evolution.

As the Ark made its choice, a surging torrent once again poured forth from the void, entering his body. Under the transformation of this immense heat...

The Ark's body underwent subtle changes continuously!

His height did not increase; instead, it continued to shrink, eventually remaining at around three meters.

However, this does not mean that his strength has decreased, but rather that the density of his bones and flesh has increased.

The behemoth that was originally nearly seven or eight meters tall when mounted has now shrunk to three meters, and the increase in strength it represents is self-evident.

Furthermore, the skeletal armor surrounding the ark has been greatly enhanced!

The skeletal armor is now thick and black, with a dull luster, making it look like a real full-body heavy armor set.

In terms of defense, this set of bone armor, which embodies the essence of Ark's skeletons... is already comparable to the defensive power of a high-quality green equipment!

Weapons and armor grow along with rank and physique, which is the greatest advantage of skeletons.

If Ark could reach the Glory or Legendary rank... his Corpse Spear would be equivalent to an Orange Epic or even a Gold Legendary, and his Corpse Armor would be equivalent to a full set of Epic or Legendary heavy armor!

Of course, this wasn't the biggest change. After this evolution was complete, Ark clearly felt that his body had become much fuller.

Although his body was still mostly a skeleton, he could no longer feel that empty feeling in his body!

It seems... because of this evolution, the empty bones encased within his skeletal armor... have grown flesh and blood again!

"I....

""

"It's alive?"

Involuntarily, Fang Zhou opened his mouth, and then a deep and hoarse voice... slowly spread through the empty hills of corpses!

To live, of course, is impossible.

As an undead, even if Ark elevates his rank to the legendary rank, he will still be a legendary undead, and it is impossible for him to transform from an undead into a living being.

The state of being able to survive extreme death may exist, but it is definitely beyond the reach of the current Ark.

At least... one must reach the Saintly Realm or even the Demigod level to touch this supreme level. However, those who reach this level may no longer care about life and death. Taking another step forward and ascending to godhood is their pursuit. As for gods... whether one's race is undead or living is meaningless.

The Ark did not come back to life, but it did give birth to living flesh and blood.

Perhaps it's because the previously analyzed and mastered Corruption Avatar skill is a zombie's innate skill. And since zombies originally possess flesh and blood, after this evolution, the Ark also gained flesh and blood.

However, the flesh and blood of the dead are completely different from that of the living!

The flesh and blood of living beings flow with blood and are filled with the breath of life; the flesh and blood of the dead, however, contain only the breath of death.

In any case, the transformation from a skeletal monster with only bones and rotting flesh to a high-level undead with living flesh is a huge leap for the Ark!

His ability to speak was itself a sign of this leap forward. With a loud laugh, Fang Zhou stretched his body.

Compared to the light and airy feeling he had before, this body with flesh and blood made him feel incredibly stable and grounded, as if he had transformed from a skeleton back into a living human being. After moving around for a while and getting used to his new body, Fangzhou looked at his attribute panel.

"【Corpse Knight Lord】has successfully evolved, and its four-dimensional attributes have achieved a leap."

"Breaking through racial limits and receiving the blessing of the Blood Moon."

"The Skeleton King skill has been upgraded to Skeleton Knight Lord".

[Undead Knight Lord] (Bronze Tier, Instinct): A blessing bestowed upon the strong by the will of the undead realm; only the most powerful individuals of the undead race have the opportunity to receive it. Deals moderately increased damage to skeletons, zombies, and their evolved forms, and moderately reduces damage taken. Can enslave skeleton and zombie undead creatures; the damage increase and the number of enslaved creatures are determined by the four main attributes.

Ark's soul fire trembled, snapping out of its euphoria as it looked at its attribute panel.

Strength, constitution, agility, and spirit are no longer limited to the Black Iron level's limit of 100 points; they have all seen significant leaps.

The current attributes of the skeleton clone are Strength 300, Constitution 300, Agility 300, and Spirit 300.

[Clone] Corpse Knight Lord [Rank] Bronze - Lower [Attributes] Strength 300, Constitution 300, Agility 300, Spirit 300

[Apostle] 32

[Servant] 30 Mutation According to Ark's estimate, even among all the lower-tier bronze undead creatures, the newly broken-through corpse clone's attributes are considered to be above average.

Not to mention, the increased attributes of the clone will also benefit the original body.

Fangzhou checked the attribute panel of his main body, and sure enough, his mental attribute, which had just broken through the 50-point mark, had jumped to 70 points.

It's only a step away from the 80-point threshold for rising to Iron rank.

After calming the surging magical power within his main body, Fangzhou didn't have time to fully digest the exhilarating feeling of this surge in four-dimensional attributes before immersing his mind entirely in the corpse clone.

The Skeleton Lord could never have imagined that the Ark's combat power would undergo another earth-shattering change in just half a month!

In his mind, the appearance of every high-level undead was the result of a long accumulation of time.

Now, if we were to face the Skeleton Lord again—we probably wouldn't even need the help of his skeletal minions; the Ark could probably kill him!

Fangzhou no longer wanted to endure it.

It's time to seize the opportunity and eliminate this skeletal lord who has been tempting him for so long!

soon.

The ark then arrived near the Bone Castle.

When it was only a little over a hundred meters away from the gate of the Bone Castle, the Ark stopped and frantically unleashed its aura to announce its arrival to the Skeleton Lord!

"roar!!!"

next moment.

With a furious roar, a massive figure burst out from the Bone Castle and appeared before the Ark.

It was the Skeleton Lord.

It would naturally not forget the Ark.

Although Ark underwent a complete transformation in both appearance and temperament after advancing to the Bronze-level Corpse Knight Lord.

However, the Skeleton Lord recognized the Ark at a glance. It was this strange undead creature that had challenged its authority time and time again, even wiping out all the mutated skeletons under its command, turning it from the ruler of the Corpse Hills into a lone commander!

This is an absolute disgrace to the Skeleton Lord!

Therefore, after bursting out of the Bone Castle, the Skeleton Lord was not afraid of the Ark's surging momentum. He charged towards the Ark with his two-handed battle axe in hand!

Fangzhou was confident that after successfully advancing, his strength was now completely overwhelming that of the Skeleton Lord.

Therefore, he naturally also carried the Corpse Spear and rode the Yellow Springs Nightmare, charging towards the Skeleton Lord!

boom!!!

The earth churned.

The violent shockwave spread in all directions.

When the Skeleton Lord was only a few dozen meters away from the Ark, it suddenly unleashed its first skill!

At this moment, Ark had merged with its rider and unleashed its Death Charge skill.

After successfully refining the Netherworld Demon into a skeletal weapon, he could unleash all of his death energy skills upon the Netherworld Demon.

This undoubtedly greatly enhances the Ark's frontal assault capabilities.

In the blink of an eye, the Ark appeared behind the Skeleton Lord, and the Corpse Spear burst forth with a jet-black spear light, forming a continuous line that slashed towards the Skeleton Lord's back.

as always.

As the spear's edge struck, five bone shields emerged from the Skeleton Lord, attempting to block the Ark's first attack.

However, it was all just wishful thinking.
