Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

The skills in the skill slot had once again lit up, undergoing derivative mutation and enhancement.

Zi Liyuan was pleasantly surprised that the "Skeleton Summoning" skill series, which usually required reaching the fifth tier or having a level over LV100, could now continue to undergo derivative mutation and enhancement. This was indeed a delightful surprise.

Thus, the silver-quality skeletons that had just been crafted a few days ago had now further evolved.

The newly derived and mutated skeletons had directly transformed into marshal-level gold-quality ones.

However, the number of skeletons that could be summoned at once had once again shown a tenfold decrease.

Previously, with 30,000+ Soul Value points, only 30 warrior-level skeletons (silver quality) could be summoned.

Now, with his 70,000+ Nether Soul Value points, he could only summon 7 marshal-level skeletons (gold quality).

Even though the Nether Soul Value had evolved and its intensity was several times higher than that of an ordinary Soul Value, it still required 10,000 Soul Value points to summon just one skeleton.

Zi Liyuan had realized that for the next derivative mutation and enhancement, he would likely need at least 100,000 Soul Value points to successfully summon a skeleton, though the quality might reach Purple Epic Quality!

Marshal-level skeletons came in four varieties: melee, ranged, cavalry, and mages, but the template promotion only doubled the strength of these marshal-level skeletons. However, they all possessed a unified passive skill—"Skeleton Command"!

[Skeleton Command: Born as a skeleton leader, capable of commanding lower-template undead skeletons (including BOSS-level), maximum command number 100,000.]

Just one could command 100,000 skeletons, and 7 could command 700,000. With just 10, they could easily command an army of a million skeletons.

It's important to note that the skeletons summoned using Zi Liyuan's mutation skills had their combat strength enhanced by his own skills!

With a summoning skill of LV25, the combat strength of the Elite Skeletons reached the first tier, Rare Skeletons reached the peak of the first tier, Hero Skeletons reached the second tier, and Lord Skeletons reached the peak of the second tier.

Together with Zi Liyuan's several passive enhancement skills for skeletons, the strength could almost be increased by an entire tier.

Such a skeleton army's combat capacity could only be described as terrifying.

The only thing Zi Liyuan regretted was that they were all ordinary monster templates, not BOSSes; otherwise, their combat power would have increased exponentially.

However, after this wave of mutation enhancement, his domain was completely stocked with troops.

Due to the rule changes within the Sea of Realms, the summoned skeletons were no longer bound by summoning contracts. If Zi Liyuan did not use his Soul Value to control them, these skeletons could potentially rebel.

Moreover, the intelligence of skeletons was really not commendable, especially those minor skeletons produced using the foundational "Skeleton Summoning" skill.

Though he could summon tens of thousands at once, these fragile beings would frequently lose their way and go missing without a commander.

If it weren't for the many White Jade Skeletons Zi Liyuan had synthesized to supervise, who knows how many of the minor laboring skeletons would have been lost.

Even with the White Jade Skeletons supervising, of the over 100,000 minor skeletons Zi Liyuan had summoned, thousands were lost every day.

In the past two days, the casualty rate fluctuated around two thousand. Very few were killed while working—only a few hundred; the rest simply went missing and were killed by monsters.

It was literally a touch and then reduced to bone fragments.

With the marshal-level Skeleton Commanders now, Zi Liyuan could easily manage the undead skeletons within his domain.

In addition, he could now bear less of the soul pressure caused by the large number of summoning contracts.

Although he could ignore them after summoning, when he wanted to control them, he still needed Spirit communication through summoning contracts, which naturally was quite exhausting.

Now with these marshal-level Skeleton Commanders, most of his soul pressure was effectively relieved.

Zi Liyuan, without a second thought, summoned one of each of the four different types of Skeleton Commanders, obtaining a total of 28 Skeleton Commanders.

He promptly handed these 28 Skeleton Commanders over to Edward to arrange their management of the Skeleton Army.

Zi Liyuan himself then relaxed and immediately fell asleep on his bed.

Despite his strong physique and soul, he could not withstand the fatigue brought by the transformation and evolution through absorbing Death Energy, which had upgraded his life tier.

Upon finishing his self-check and feeling wave after wave of fatigue assaulting his soul and his mind relaxing, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Unbeknownst to him, it had become very lively outside.

After Edward dispatched the 28 Skeleton Commanders from the Lord's Mansion, they immediately took over the command authority of the entire Skeleton Army in the domain.

These Skeleton Commanders, even though not BOSS templates, had considerably high intelligence and handling the allocation and command of skeletons came naturally to them.
