Bab 19: Skeleton Soldier
..
In the past week.
Matthew's life was busy and fulfilling.
Planting trees during the day.
At night, he would meditate and learn spells.
He even found time to find someone to build this small house in the forest. The house was not big, but it was well-equipped.
In addition to the necessary functional areas, the two carpenters also built a small attic and a beautiful fence for him.
Matthew sat on the wooden bed.
There was a faint fragrance between his nose and mouth.
He 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.
This might be related to the fact that he had not summoned many undead creatures or killed any recently.
However, Matthew was most excited about the 'strengthening'.
"There's no hurry. I've already endured for so many days. Let's wait for the sky to turn dark."
Matthew looked out the window.
The faint yellow sunlight was gradually dimming.
Even though few people came to this forest, he still maintained the habit of summoning skeletons at night.
It wasn't that Matthew was afraid of being disturbed.
He simply didn't want to scare the ordinary people in the town.
Half an hour later.
Matthew walked out of the wooden house.
The warm night wind brought the laughter of the oak trees.
Matthew opened the cellar lid of the Skeleton Cellar and woke up the 12 skeleton soldiers one by one.
Very quickly.
The skeleton soldiers finished assembling.
Under the hazy moonlight.
Matthew carefully examined the skeletons.
He wanted to choose the best one to strengthen!
In fact, Matthew had wanted to strengthen Peggy at first.
After all, she was at profession Level Nine, and the two of them had been together for many years, so they had a tacit understanding.
However, the problem was that Peggy was a " Mutant Skeleton " and did not meet the requirements for this enhancement.
Matthew had to pick the best one from this batch of skeleton soldiers with an average level of 3.
..
"You!"
After a 20-minute physical examination.
Matthew finally chose the target to strengthen. It was a skeleton soldier that was looking at him in a daze.
The reason why Matthew chose him was because he had considered many aspects.
The soul fire of this skeleton soldier was more condensed. Although it did not have the most bones, its bones were relatively good.
The most important thing was…
Matthew realized that this fellow was a little different from the other skeleton soldiers.
The other skeleton soldiers would only be in a daze when they were examined by him.
But it was different.
It had been unconsciously twisting its hips!
It was this that aroused Matthew's curiosity!
"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…"
With this thought in mind, Matthew ordered it to stand out alone.
In order to make it easier to order him around in the future, he even specially gave him a name:
"Since it's a skeleton soldier, let's call it 'Soldier' from now on!"
..
[Prompt: Naming successful! Your summoned creature Skeleton Soldier No. 11 has its own name, Soldier!]
..
Soldier was puzzled by your naming, but he was still grateful for it.
..
[Soldier twisted his crotch at you...]
..
"It's about time…"
Matthew ordered the other skeletons to go back to the cellar.
Then, he glanced at the summoning panel.
..
[Name: Soldier]
[Race: Skeleton (LV3)]
[Attributes: Strength 14/Constitution 8/Agility 14/Intuition 4/Intelligence 4/Charm 4]
[Characteristics: Fear Immunity/Disease Immunity/Undead Race]
[Ability: Step Back]
..
"High Agility and Strength?"
Matthew raised his eyebrows.
He tried to invest ten strengthening points into Soldier.
..
[Enhancement successful! Soldier's level had increased to level 4, and his overall attributes had received a small increase.
Soldier received the enhancement keyword 'Beginner Enlightenment'!
[Beginner Enlightenment (White): Your summoned creature has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child and can understand some of your simple commands.]
..
"Strengthening can upgrade the summoned creature, increase its overall attributes, and impose keywords of different grades on them?"
Matthew was an experienced gamer.
He could tell the general direction of the system at a glance.
He strengthened Soldier again.
..
[Enhancement successful! Soldier received the keyword 'Short Weapon Specialization!'
..
[Short Weapon Specialization (Purple): Your summoned creature is good at using short weapons.]
[When it uses a short weapon, its attack speed, attack power, and critical hit probability are increased by 30%.]
..
"Sure."
Matthew no longer hesitated and strengthened it with all his might!
The next three attempts were all successful.
The rewards were two good keywords and a level increase.
..
[Weakness Observation (Blue): Your summoned creature can identify the enemy's weaknesses before and during battle.]
..
[Assassin Mode (Blue): Your summoned creature has activated the Assassin Mode. Agility +2, and learned the Assassin's abilities 'Stealth' and 'Sap']
..
"I didn't expect you to become an assassin with some twitches of your hips!"
Matthew looked at Soldier with interest.
He wondered if it was the effect of [Beginner's Enlightenment].
He noticed that Soldier's soul fire had become more solid.
There was also a hint of nostalgia and respect in the eyes that looked at him.
Hence, Matthew struck while the iron was hot and continued to strengthen it.
..
[Enhancement failed! Soldier received the keyword 'Bone Loss'!
..
[Bone Loss (Grey): Your summoned creature's HP is reduced by 10%]
..
Would a failed enhancement result in negative keywords?
Matthew was deep in thought.
This was not unusual.
The results of the next two times were normal.
One upgrade and a purple keyword.
..
"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.]
..
"Dirty trick is actually purple grade?!"
Matthew was a little surprised.
Soldier looked at him innocently.
With 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.
Matthew clicked his tongue in wonder.
He walked around Soldier.
He noticed that the color of the latter's bones had changed significantly.
The gray bones that had occupied most of his body had disappeared, replaced by white and even silver bones!
" Gray bone, white bone, silver bone, gold, diamond…"
The classification of skeletons flashed through Matthew's mind.
Soldier was now a Skeleton Assassin.
Of course, it couldn't be compared to a golden skeleton with extraordinary talent like Peggy.
However, it was not to be underestimated.
..
[Enhancement successful. Soldierobtained the legendary keyword 'Sword Dancer!'
..
Sword 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!
..
[Soldier gained new abilities, Blade Dance, Funeral Dance, and Dark Night Cloak!」
..
"A Golden Legendary Keyword!"
Matthew's eyes immediately lit up!
After this enhancement.
Soldier's temperament had obviously changed.
The bones on his body flickered with a silver light, and almost in an instant, all of them turned silver-white!
A pitch-black curtain appeared behind him.
Matthew's heart skipped a beat as he ordered, "Put it on."
Soldier was stunned for a moment.
The curtain automatically covered his body.
In the next second.
Soldier disappeared without a trace!
..
[Your summoned Soldier has used Dark Night Cloak!]」
..
Matthew closed his eyes and activated his Blind Sense.
He could sense that there was an invisible unit near him, but he could not know its exact location!
"He was clearly right in front of me."
Matthew asked Soldier to turn off the Dark Night Cloak.
The invisibility effect of this ability was too shocking!
After all, Phily's Blind Sense was supposed to be the nemesis of invisible units!
"It seems that I have to be careful in the future. Not all invisible units can be detected by Blind Sense."
But now, the more Matthew looked at Soldier, the more satisfied he was.
In time, this guy's strength would definitely not be inferior to Peggy's, and it might even surpass the bone dragon!
"I wonder if there are any higher-level Gold Legendary keywords?"
Matthew subconsciously wanted to strengthen it again.
However, he suddenly realized that he had used up all the strengthening opportunities!
He smiled bitterly and patted his cheek.
Now, he finally understood why the mobile gacha game was so popular in his previous life!
..
Since 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.
The cabin had just been built, and Matthew still had a lot of arrangements to make.
If 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.
Spell traps were a must.
"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…"
Matthew lay on the hard wooden bed and ate a few mouthfuls of bread. He began to miss Peggy's cooking.
"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."
Matthew yawned.
He forced himself to meditate.
For the Soul Crystals.
He could not slack off for a night!
..
Southwest of the oak forest.
On the hill.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked over.
"Boss Dean, it should be nearby. The farm below has been burned to ruins. It must be Heiss' doing."
The 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!"
Short Dean stared at the trees ahead.
Suddenly.
His nose twitched.
"Heiss is dead!"
The tall man was stunned.
"How is that possible? Could it be that the Great Mage had made a move?"
Dean's face was gloomy.
"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!"
The 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."
Dean shook his head slightly.
The two of them silently stepped into the oak forest.
"Heiss' corpse is buried here!"
Dean looked gloomy.
"Buried in the woods? Who would do such a wicked thing?"
The tall man looked around.
At this moment.
He suddenly pointed into the distance and said,
"Boss, look! There's a small wooden house over there!"
