Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282

"Next up is this guy. It’s been a long time since I’ve created a new skill," Du You observed as he looked at the two Tier 5 Undead bodies cleared to his side, or more precisely, one of them, still a fairly strong one.

Despite being instantly killed by Du You, this guy didn’t show any abilities, but his own strength was definitely not weak. Du You had felt it before; this Undead’s power was in the late Tier 5, that is, above Level 57.

As for the specifics, he hadn’t fought it to know, but that would change after his own transformation.

Du You casually drew a Magic Array on the ground for the transformation while taking out the Tier 5 Dark Element Stone he had. Come to think of it, the company had started buying these stones, and he had always kept one with him, thinking it would be useless.

This time in the Undead World, it wouldn’t be bad to use it. At the very least, it would help shape his image in the Undead World. "Huh, strange, constructing Undead in this world allows for some adjustments. Does it need more Crystal Coins? That’s not a problem; the one thing I’m not short on right now is Crystal Coins."

Du You simply increased the Crystal Coins by several times, but this amount still seemed like nothing in his eyes.

After all, their ability to earn Crystal Coins without forming a team was too strong.

The Magic Array operated, black mist continuously gathering, and the body of the Undead in the middle also condensed and transformed unceasingly. A black cocoon formed, and Du You could not feel the slightest change happening inside.

However, it didn’t take too long, as the original creature was already close to the Dark Attribute, making the transformation incredibly easy. Half an hour later, Du You felt that the transformation of his Summoned Creature was coming to an end.

"Excellent, it has the dignity of a king among Undead; this guy will be the overt leader of this territory from now on. It’s perfect to take out for negotiations with others." Du You did not plan to show himself.

After all, what if he had to meet the Death God in the future? Being seen through would not be good.

As for such Summoned Beasts, once they reached Tier 6, although they still lacked high intelligence, they did possess some basic thoughts. Moreover, under his control, there was no problem for them to negotiate with people. It wasn’t strange for a few of the Undead leaders to be dim-witted; in the Netherworld, only strength was truly acknowledged.

When the new Summoned Beast emerged, Du You immediately opened the panel.

Lich King: A powerful innate Lich, a king among Liches, a sage. Requires 12 hours to resummon after death. (Level 50, 10 stars)

Skills: Death Qi Shield, Undead Mist, Undead Will, Death Qi Shield, Bone Arrow, Corpse Explosion, Finger of Death, Mana Absorption

Undead King: Increases attack speed, defense, and recovery of all subordinate Undead Creatures by 30%.

Undead Mist: Releases a mist that strengthens allied Undead Creatures within it, ineffective against hostile Undead. Living Beings within the mist experience life corrosion.

Undead Will: Greatly enhances resistance against psychic spells, possessing absolute calm in thinking.

Death Qi Shield: Forms a shield around the entire body with death qi, leaving no blind spots.

Bone Arrow: Launches bone arrows at enemies, with the maximum number of arrows increasing as the level increases. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Corpse Explosion: Detonates a corpse with the force of death, dealing significant damage, can use subordinate Undead as casting materials. The level of subordinate Undead cannot exceed one’s own; using living Undead to cast Corpse Explosion increases power by 50%.

Finger of Death: A spell causing instant death, concentrating a large amount of death power into the enemy’s body, leading to direct death if the judgment passes.

Mana Absorption: Absorbs the magic power of a designated enemy, with 50% restoring one’s own magic power. The magic power-burned individual experiences immense pain, affecting the success rate of their casting. Cooldown 10 minutes.

Du You looked at the new panel content and silently mulled it over. From the name, it could be seen that the skill perfectly fit his needs. The Lich King was also a ruler among the Undead.

Moreover, the introduction included the tags ’king’ and ’sage.’ Du You experimented and discovered that his Lich King possessed considerable deterrence to wild Undead, easily making them submit. The title of ’sage’ meant that his Lich King was quite intelligent. Although it still didn’t particularly enjoy dealing with Du You, its intelligence was far higher than that of other Summoned Creatures.

Only Xiaozi was special, with a thought process no different from that of a normal human.

However, once reaching Tier 6, Du You believed that the Lich King’s thinking would not be too far off, and he might not even need to completely control it; it would be able to communicate with others by itself.

Most crucially, Du You discovered that his Lich King was actually capable of speech.

Even Xiaozi could not do this, marking an unexpected delight.

Looking at the skills, the Undead King was standard, directly enhancing the combat abilities of all his soldiers, even though it was only for Undead Attributes. But a direct 30% increase was a considerable enhancement.

The Undead Mist, on the other hand, was a special environmental skill that strengthened allies and weakened enemies. Combined with the Undead King skill, his soldiers’ strength would be overwhelming for the enemy. These two skills alone made his Lich King unequivocally a commander among the Undead, a natural leader.

While the effect of Undead Mist wasn’t so apparent in the Netherworld, it would be horrifying in other worlds where it eroded Living Beings. Unseen and silent, it could turn weaker Living Beings into Undead under its control.

If even Bone Dragons were taught to be controlled by the Lich King, their combat power would be at least double when compared to Du You’s control.

The third skill, Undead Will, was a fairly common one, and many Undead possessed similar talents. Among his Summoned Creatures, this skill was not particularly useful, as Du You’s own abilities already granted absolute control.

With his skill level, the idea of using psychic spells to control his Summoned Creatures was nothing but a dream.

The fourth, Death Qi Shield, was likely the defensive spell that the creature used when Du You attacked it. It was fast and reasonably defensive. Unfortunately, Du You’s strength fell far short at the time, and it hardly blocked a few arrows.

Now that his level had increased, Du You tested this skill again, and although the defense of the shield was not as strong as his three defense spells, it couldn’t be broken through by just any Dark Flame Arrow Array.

For a Mage, a powerful defense spell was crucial; it related to whether one would become the primary target of the enemy’s hunt. A strong magic defense meant that even if the enemy wanted to hunt, they’d have to think twice.
