nSkeleton Soldier

n..

nIn the past week.

nMatthew’s life was busy and fulfilling.

nPlanting trees during the day.

nAt night, he would meditate and learn spells.

nHe even found time to find someone to build this small house in the forest. The house was not big, but it was well-equipped.

nIn addition to the necessary functional areas, the two carpenters also built a small attic and a beautiful fence for him.

nMatthew sat on the wooden bed.

nThere was a faint fragrance between his nose and mouth.

nHe vaguely felt that the green energy in his natural legendary path had increased slightly. As for the progress of the undying path… it had halted.

nThis might be related to the fact that he had not summoned many undead creatures or killed any recently.

nHowever, Matthew was most excited about the ‘strengthening’.

n“There’s no hurry. I’ve already endured for so many days. Let’s wait for the sky to turn dark.”

nMatthew looked out the window.

nThe faint yellow sunlight was gradually dimming.

nEven though few people came to this forest, he still maintained the habit of summoning skeletons at night.

nIt wasn’t that Matthew was afraid of being disturbed.

nHe simply didn’t want to scare the ordinary people in the town.

nHalf an hour later.

nMatthew walked out of the wooden house.

nThe warm night wind brought the laughter of the oak trees.

nMatthew opened the cellar lid of the Skeleton Cellar and woke up the 12 skeleton soldiers one by one.

nVery quickly.

nThe skeleton soldiers finished assembling.

nUnder the hazy moonlight.

nMatthew carefully examined the skeletons.

nHe wanted to choose the best one to strengthen!

nIn fact, Matthew had wanted to strengthen Peggy at first.

nAfter all, she was at profession Level Nine, and the two of them had been together for many years, so they had a tacit understanding.

nHowever, the problem was that Peggy was a ” Mutant Skeleton ” and did not meet the requirements for this enhancement.

nMatthew had to pick the best one from this batch of skeleton soldiers with an average level of 3.

n..

n“You!”

nAfter a 20-minute physical examination.

nMatthew finally chose the target to strengthen. It was a skeleton soldier that was looking at him in a daze.

nThe reason why Matthew chose him was because he had considered many aspects.

nThe soul fire of this skeleton soldier was more condensed. Although it did not have the most bones, its bones were relatively good.

nThe most important thing was…

nMatthew realized that this fellow was a little different from the other skeleton soldiers.

nThe other skeleton soldiers would only be in a daze when they were examined by him.

nBut it was different.

nIt had been unconsciously twisting its hips!

nIt was this that aroused Matthew’s curiosity!

n“It’s said that very few undead creatures can inherit some of their abilities from when they were alive. This skeleton soldier might also have a chance to awaken…”

nWith this thought in mind, Matthew ordered it to stand out alone.

nIn order to make it easier to order him around in the future, he even specially gave him a name:

n“Since it’s a skeleton soldier, let’s call it ‘Soldier’ from now on!”

n..

nPrompt: Naming successful! Your summoned creature Skeleton Soldier No. 11 has its own name, Soldier!

n..

nSoldier was puzzled by your naming, but he was still grateful for it.

n..

nSoldier twisted his crotch at you…

n..

n“It’s about time…”

nMatthew ordered the other skeletons to go back to the cellar.

nThen, he glanced at the summoning panel.

n..

nName: Soldier

nRace: Skeleton (LV3)

nAttributes: Strength 14

/Constitution 8

/Agility 14

/Intuition 4

/Intelligence 4

/Charm 4

nCharacteristics: Fear Immunity

/Disease Immunity

/Undead Race

nAbility: Step Back

n..

n“High Agility and Strength?”

nMatthew raised his eyebrows.

nHe tried to invest ten strengthening points into Soldier.

n..

nEnhancement successful! Soldier’s level had increased to level 4, and his overall attributes had received a small increase.

nSoldier received the enhancement keyword ‘Beginner Enlightenment’!

nBeginner Enlightenment (White): Your summoned creature has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child and can understand some of your simple commands.

n..

n“Strengthening can upgrade the summoned creature, increase its overall attributes, and impose keywords of different grades on them?”

nMatthew was an experienced gamer.

nHe could tell the general direction of the system at a glance.

nHe strengthened Soldier again.

n..

nEnhancement successful! Soldier received the keyword ‘Short Weapon Specialization!’

n..

nShort Weapon Specialization (Purple): Your summoned creature is good at using short weapons.

nWhen it uses a short weapon, its attack speed, attack power, and critical hit probability are increased by 30%.

n..

n“Sure.”

nMatthew no longer hesitated and strengthened it with all his might!

nThe next three attempts were all successful.

nThe rewards were two good keywords and a level increase.

n..

nWeakness Observation (Blue): Your summoned creature can identify the enemy’s weaknesses before and during battle.

n..

nAssassin Mode (Blue): Your summoned creature has activated the Assassin Mode. Agility 2, and learned the Assassin’s abilities ‘Stealth’ and ‘Sap’

n..

n“I didn’t expect you to become an assassin with some twitches of your hips!”

nMatthew looked at Soldier with interest.

nHe wondered if it was the effect of Beginner’s Enlightenment.

nHe noticed that Soldier’s soul fire had become more solid.

nThere was also a hint of nostalgia and respect in the eyes that looked at him.

nHence, Matthew struck while the iron was hot and continued to strengthen it.

n..

nEnhancement failed! Soldier received the keyword ‘Bone Loss’!

n..

nBone Loss (Grey): Your summoned creature’s HP is reduced by 10%

n..

nWould a failed enhancement result in negative keywords?

nMatthew was deep in thought.

nThis was not unusual.

nThe results of the next two times were normal.

nOne upgrade and a purple keyword.

n..

n“Dirty Trick (Purple)(Prerequisite keyword: Weakness Observation): Your summoned creature is good at using underhanded moves including but not limited to Crotch Attack, Sand Toss, and Return Spear.

n..

n“Dirty trick is actually purple grade?!”

nMatthew was a little surprised.

nSoldier looked at him innocently.

nWith its current intelligence, it might not be able to understand the changes in its body, but these keywords would be integrated into its combat instincts.

nMatthew clicked his tongue in wonder.

nHe walked around Soldier.

nHe noticed that the color of the latter’s bones had changed significantly.

nThe gray bones that had occupied most of his body had disappeared, replaced by white and even silver bones!

n” Gray bone, white bone, silver bone, gold, diamond…”

nThe classification of skeletons flashed through Matthew’s mind.

nSoldier was now a Skeleton Assassin.

nOf course, it couldn’t be compared to a golden skeleton with extraordinary talent like Peggy.

nHowever, it was not to be underestimated.

n..

nEnhancement successful. Soldierobtained the legendary keyword ‘Sword Dancer!’

n..

nSword Dancer (Gold!): Your summoned creature has awakened part of its strength from when it was alive. Assassin Mode has been replaced with the rare profession Blade Dancer Mode!

n..

nSoldier gained new abilities, Blade Dance, Funeral Dance, and Dark Night Cloak!」

n..

n“A Golden Legendary Keyword!”

nMatthew’s eyes immediately lit up!

nAfter this enhancement.

nSoldier’s temperament had obviously changed.

nThe bones on his body flickered with a silver light, and almost in an instant, all of them turned silver-white!

nA pitch-black curtain appeared behind him.

nMatthew’s heart skipped a beat as he ordered, “Put it on.”

nSoldier was stunned for a moment.

nThe curtain automatically covered his body.

nIn the next second.

nSoldier disappeared without a trace!

n..

nYour summoned Soldier has used Dark Night Cloak!」

n..

nMatthew closed his eyes and activated his Blind Sense.

nHe could sense that there was an invisible unit near him, but he could not know its exact location!

n“He was clearly right in front of me.”

nMatthew asked Soldier to turn off the Dark Night Cloak.

nThe invisibility effect of this ability was too shocking!

nAfter all, Phily’s Blind Sense was supposed to be the nemesis of invisible units!

n“It seems that I have to be careful in the future. Not all invisible units can be detected by Blind Sense.”

nBut now, the more Matthew looked at Soldier, the more satisfied he was.

nIn time, this guy’s strength would definitely not be inferior to Peggy’s, and it might even surpass the bone dragon!

n“I wonder if there are any higher-level Gold Legendary keywords?”

nMatthew subconsciously wanted to strengthen it again.

nHowever, he suddenly realized that he had used up all the strengthening opportunities!

nHe smiled bitterly and patted his cheek.

nNow, he finally understood why the mobile gacha game was so popular in his previous life!

n..

nSince the Dark Night Cloak wouldn’t consume any of Soldier’s energy at night, Matthew arranged for him to patrol outside his house in stealth mode.

nThe cabin had just been built, and Matthew still had a lot of arrangements to make.

nIf it were the old Rolling Stone Town, it would be fine. Recently, public security had shown signs of deterioration, so he had to be extra careful.

nSpell traps were a must.

n“When I go to the market to buy seeds tomorrow, I’ll also see if there are any trap-setting scrolls. It’s too troublesome to do it myself…”

nMatthew lay on the hard wooden bed and ate a few mouthfuls of bread. He began to miss Peggy’s cooking.

n“Why don’t I have Soldier guard the next and ask Peggy to come over and accompany me? No, Soldier’s intelligence is still too low. He couldn’t handle many things as easily as Peggy.”

nMatthew yawned.

nHe forced himself to meditate.

nFor the Soul Crystals.

nHe could not slack off for a night!

n..

nSouthwest of the oak forest.

nOn the hill.

nTwo figures, one tall and one short, walked over.

n“Boss Dean, it should be nearby. The farm below has been burned to ruins. It must be Heiss’ doing.”

nThe tall man’s face was fierce.” This guy is really rude. He clearly promised Boss that he would meet you on time. In the end, he ran to such a remote place without saying a word. We can’t even find a trace of him!”

nShort Dean stared at the trees ahead.

nSuddenly.

nHis nose twitched.

n“Heiss is dead!”

nThe tall man was stunned.

n“How is that possible? Could it be that the Great Mage had made a move?”

nDean’s face was gloomy.

n“Impossible. It’s a fact that Ronan is trapped in the astral plane. He can’t possibly lay his hands on a small fry like Heiss!”

nThe tall man thought for a moment and said, “Is that a local lord?” The Suki Family was once glorious. Although the current patriarch is a useless guy, I heard that his wife ran away with a necromancer.”

nDean shook his head slightly.

nThe two of them silently stepped into the oak forest.

n“Heiss’ corpse is buried here!”

nDean looked gloomy.

n“Buried in the woods? Who would do such a wicked thing?”

nThe tall man looked around.

nAt this moment.

nHe suddenly pointed into the distance and said,

n“Boss, look! There’s a small wooden house over there!”

n..

n
