This was the first time that Francis tested his Horizontal Slash skill.
A black-light shot out from the Garbage's hand and rushed forward in the shape of a half moon.
There stood a level nine skeleton soldier, staggering forward with the army.
The black light rushed straight to the waist of the skeleton soldier, with a devastating breath, directly cut off his spine, and he was shattered into pieces of skeleton on the ground.
"Wow..."
Francis was shocked, he didn't expect that the Horizontal Slash would be so powerful even if it was reduced by half!
It knocked down a level nine skeleton soldier in one blow!
Which was needed cooperation between Smart and Garbage.
"It seems that skill is very precious. Although it is reduced by half, it is still something that the low-level skeleton soldiers cannot resist!" Francis went back to his body and temporarily cut off The Puppet.
He looked at Mouse at the front and wanted to test the range of The Puppet skill.
Just now, Garbage was the nearest underling to him.
About eight meters away, he used The Puppet skill without any pressure.
But Mouse was about one hundred and fifty-five meters away.
Francis wanted to see if the distance between him and his underlings was unlimited.
While his mind was spinning, Francis's consciousness was like a stream of water, speeding forward fast.
Mouse was trying to pry into the enemy's information.
Suddenly, Francis's consciousness fell on him.
A black light flashed and rushed to the front skeleton soldier, killing him without any pressure.
"There is no distance limit!"
Francis returned to himself in an instant.
He excitedly tested this skill on each of his underlings.
His mastery of The Puppet was also gradually increased.
At the very beginning, it took him about one second to activate The Puppet. But later, he could instantly control them and quickly return to his own body.
If returning to his original body was not the restriction of The Puppet.
Francis would be able to realize his wish of jumping freely on each of his underlings.
Anyone could be him, and he could also be any underling.
Even if his original body was attacked, he could directly link to underlings and use this skill to save himself.
But he hadn't met any high-level skeleton who could directly threaten his life in the current skeleton army.
Except for the high-level skeleton who had appeared in front of him by accident before.
When he lost his interest, Francis began to study the skill of the mid-level skeleton soldiers.
After reaching the medium stage, he found that he could be professional.
He could choose any career to upgrade.
Moreover, he could also learn the skills brought by his career.
"In that case, skeleton warrior is my essential career, is the direction of my body's evolution. The career after upgrading is the career I can choose after being a skeleton warrior."
It sounded a little bit confusing.
It took Francis a few seconds to figure it out.
"The body of skeleton warrior will become stronger after the upgrade, so I can exclude knights or something like that when I choose my career..."
He looked carefully at the line of careers in front of him.
Finally, he looked at the mage.
After strengthening his body, he urgently needed a career with high attack attributes to make up for the skills shortage.
The mage could perfectly meet his needs.
At present, he was only a mid-level skeleton warrior, he could transfer to a mage.
However, he was not able to complete the perfect transfer according to his current condition.
The perfect transfer as Francis said meant that one could freely use other career skills.
Merging other career panels together to make himself stronger.
The mage could bring him two skills, Fire Bomb and Defensive Shield.
The former one could throw a burning fireball to attack the enemy, which was similar to the spiritual fire used by high-level skeletons. However, the range of Throwing Fire Bombs was bigger and could reach farther place.
It could cause a large number of casualties.
The Defensive Shield would form a shield to protect himself.
As long as the enemy's attack couldn't break the Defensive Shield, they couldn't hurt Francis.
Francis could use these two skills on underlings through The Puppet skill.
Even if the effect was reduced by half, it was still something that ordinary skeletons couldn't resist.
While he was busy with his experiments of different kinds of skills.
The skeleton army had arrived at the ridge and headed for another higher mountain.
"Where on earth are they going?"
Francis looked up.
Some of the snowy peaks were hidden in the clouds, which showed how tall they were.
The skeleton army moved forward tirelessly.
Maybe skeleton generals were commanding.
Their goal was their base camp or a place of another race that needed to be attacked.
"I must become very powerful before arriving at the final destination!"
Francis knew that although he was arrogant in the low-level skeletons, he was still not strong enough to fight the high-level skeletons. His underlings' levels were generally less than ten.
There was little chance of winning against groups of high-level skeletons.
Therefore, Francis's goal was to strengthen the underlings for the time being.
He distributed more ghost fires to underlings who got a name.
Underlings without names and those in charge of dealing with the outsiders, were at the bottom. They would be considered after Garbage's level reached higher.
Francis urged Mouse to look for high-level skeletons unceasingly.
As soon as he found one, Francis immediately ordered the underlings to surround him.
After unlocking The Puppet, Francis's battle became much easier.
He jumped on the underlings casually.
Using Horizontal Slash and throwing Fire Bomb to injure the high-level skeletons.
In addition to the harassment of other underlings, the high-level skeleton had no power to fight back. In the blink of an eye, his skull was broken by a fire bomb released by Francis.
Francis put the ghost fire and the black crystal in his bag.
"It was a narrow escape."
He looked back and found that three underlings were torn apart by the high-level skeleton in the battle just now.
After being approached, they were cruelly killed by him.
Francis didn't have time to save them.
After upgrading this time, Francis got a skill—Violent Bone Attack.
However, it didn't match the career of the mage. So he chose to turn his skill into skill points and add them to the Fire Bomb.
In this way, the Fire Bomb which was meant to attack groups could also cause extraordinary damage to the individual unit.
"Can they also choose a career?"
Francis looked at Garbage. If Garbage could also have a career, then he would be more powerful and become his right-hand.
As a result, Francis distributed most of the ghost fires to Garbage and other underlings.
The named skeleton underlings team became more powerful.
It seemed that Garbage had also perceived Francis's goal, and he worked harder to kill the skeleton soldiers.
He waved the leg bones powerfully and broke the skulls of skeleton soldiers one after another everywhere he looked, turning them into ghost fires floating in the air.
Francis killed skeleton soldiers on his own.
He didn't arrange Garbage's distribution of ghost fires temporarily.
Garbage with wisdom was perfectly qualified to be the leader of his skeleton team.
He arranged the underlings well and there was no need for Francis to worry about them.
The skeleton army went through the ridge and came to a higher place.
Francis looked at the cave in front of him.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear a little girl's voice, timidly calling him the master.
"She can speak? Is she from other races?"
Francis thought.
Skeleton warrior can't say a word but made a gesture.
Francis communicated with them through his mind and directly used his mind to give instructions.
Therefore, the voice that appeared in his ears could only be a creature from another race, but who was the master she was talking about?
"Contract agreed."
A voice appeared in Francis's mind. He looked at the entrance of the cave in surprise.
What happened? Why did he suddenly suggest that the contract had concluded?
Did he invisibly have the skill to obtain a slave passively?
This was much easier than releasing the Slave's Rope!
Francis was excited and looked at the dark entrance expectantly. He had no idea what kind of creature would come out.
"Better to be an elf or a dragon girl."
Francis thought that happily.
