Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

What the hell, was there anything more dramatic than this under the heavens?

Demon Fiend Commander wanted to cry but had no tears. His heart felt utterly chilled.

He finally understood that the most miserable thing in the human world wasn’t death.

Instead, it was being enslaved by your enemy after death, and damned to have consciousness!

This skeletal life…was an extremely poor experience.

“Demon Fiend…pays respects to Master.”

Although somewhat reluctant, Demon Fiend knew that he didn’t even have the right to commit suicide now.

Because the imprint deep in his soul could affect his every action.

“From now on, you will be under Blood Fiend’s command.”

Jiang Cheng glanced at his attributes, then sent him to Blood Fiend’s side.

“Many thanks, Master.”

Demon Fiend and Blood Fiend said in unison.

Although the two skeletons had quite the tacit understanding, their moods were completely different.

Blood Fiend’s mood was surprise mixed with three parts relief and seven parts being moved.

Demon Fiend…was desolation mixed with three parts frustration and seven parts not daring to move.

Blood Fiend was relieved by Jiang Cheng keeping his promise and was moved by his trust.

As for Demon Fiend…he felt unprecedented frustration and…was at a loss for words.

Now his expression was a bit complex, with a trace of awkwardness.

Because he realized that after their resurrection, their strengths had all been weakened.

But Jiang Cheng seemed to have strengthened Green Fiend and Purple Fiend, while he…

What did this indicate?

It indicated that he wasn’t favored.

“From now on, you are a team. You must get along harmoniously.”

Jiang Cheng was aware of their grudges and warned them in passing.

Blood Fiend nodded, then grinned at Demon Fiend Commander.

“Rest assured, Master. My principle in governing subordinates has always been love and peace. I will take good care of the Commander.”

Seeing his eerie smile, Demon Fiend Commander’s heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy abyss.

“From now on, please guide me, Commander Blood Fiend.”

He chickened out. That’s right, Demon Fiend ultimately chickened out.

No one can resist the situation. If you can’t spread your wings, then don’t fly.

A true man knows when to yield and when not to extend himself. It’s no big deal!

As long as everything comes from the heart, you can be as steady as an old dog!

Demon Fiend had a somewhat unsightly smile on his face, and his tone was extremely fawning, causing Blood Raven and Black Fiend to feel a wave of contempt.

Even Blood Fiend couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Who would have thought that the mighty Demon Fiend Commander also had such an unknown side to him.”

Seeing the once high and mighty, indomitable Demon Fiend Commander softening before him, Blood Fiend’s heart instantly felt extremely gratified.

He felt that the most correct decision he made in this skeletal life was following Master…

Uh…he seemed to have committed suicide.

“Hehe, the Commander makes a good point.”

Demon Fiend didn’t care whether Blood Fiend made sense or not. In any case, showering him with flattery was the right move.

Seeing them get along so harmoniously, Jiang Cheng felt reassured.

“Little Cutie, did any good equipment drop this time?”

A Silly Cutie nodded frantically, her face unable to conceal her joy at all.

“This time, three sigils and two gems dropped, and one of them is Mythical-grade! Also, also, there’s a classless skill book and two skill books for other classes. Look.”

A Silly Cutie handed the 5 stones and a skill book to Jiang Cheng.

She knew that for Jiang Cheng, everything else was unimportant. Only gems and skill books were the most crucial.

So she didn’t waste words and directly mentioned the most important things.

【Earth Fiend – Purple Fiend Sigil】

Quality: Legendary

Overview: When socketed into bones, attacks have a 3% chance to inflict poison, draining 300 HP per second for 10 seconds.

【Earth Fiend – Green Fiend Sigil】

Quality: Rare

Overview: When socketed into bones, attacks have a 2% chance to increase defense by 100 points for 30 seconds.

【Sky Gang – Demon Fiend Sigil】

Quality: Mythical

Socket Level: 60

Overview: When socketed into bones, gain a 10% fire attribute damage enhancement effect.

【Life Crystal】

Quality: Rare

Overview: When socketed into armor, increases HP by 500 points.

【Spell Defense Crystal】

Quality: Rare

Overview: When socketed into armor, increases spell defense by 50 points.

These five gems, three sigils for him, although the enhancements were limited, they were very useful.

However, the socket level of the Sky Gang – Demon Fiend Sigil was too high. He couldn’t use it for now.

The effects of the other two crystals were a bit unsatisfactory.

However, the Spell Defense Crystal was just what he needed to make up for his spell defense deficiency.

The Life Crystal could also compensate for his embarrassingly low HP of only 4630 points.

They were both very much worth socketing for him.

“Oh right, Skeleton Big Brother, there are also 5 Socket Stones and 3 Green Glow Stones. All of these dropped from Demon Fiend Commander.”

Jiang Cheng took the 8 stones handed over by A Silly Cutie, and his heart stirred. “Speaking of Green Glow Stones, I almost forgot there are also Enhancement Stones for upgrading.”

Green Glow Stones were Legendary-quality Enhancement Stones. When they were doing dungeons, they had used some before.

Jiang Cheng took out 8 Enhancement Stones from the dungeon rewards and chose to enhance his off-hand weapon.

Because after his Soul Power was used up, his attack power directly decreased by 1600 points, from 3680 to 2080!

His attack power could be said to have dropped tremendously.

High attack power was his biggest advantage and a necessary condition for him to instant-kill players, level up, and fight bosses.

He had to maintain this state at all times.

【Calamity – Wings of Death】

-Off-hand Weapon-

Quality: Rare

Attack +100

Strength +10

Agility +10

Reap: Triggers true damage equal to 3% of your HP when attacking.

Soar: Can fly briefly for 60 seconds after use. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

Using Legendary Enhancement Stones to enhance a Rare-grade weapon was a bit of a waste.

So he planned to use Enhancement Points to upgrade the off-hand weapon to Legendary-grade first.

[Spent 500 Enhancement Points. Successfully enhanced off-hand weapon Calamity – Wings of Death. Successfully evolved into Deprivation Calamity – Wings of Death.]

[Spent 1000 Enhancement Points. Successfully enhanced off-hand weapon Deprivation Calamity – Wings of Death. Successfully evolved into Slaughter Calamity – Wings of Death.]

[Congratulations on triggering off-hand weapon breakthrough evolution. This breakthrough evolution requires 3 million Evolution Points, 3000 Enhancement Points, and 300 gold coins. Breakthrough evolve?]

[Spent 3 million Evolution Points, 3000 Enhancement Points, and 300 gold coins. Successfully enhanced off-hand weapon Calamity – Wings of the Seven Slaughters. Successfully breakthrough evolved into Legendary-grade Calamity – Wings of the Seven Slaughters.]

【Calamity – Wings of the Seven Slaughters】

-Off-hand Weapon-

Quality: Legendary

HP +500

Mana +500

Attack +200

Strength +30

Agility +30

Critical Damage +30%

Seven Slaughters: Triggers true damage equal to 10% of your HP when attacking. 1% chance when attacking to trigger seven attacks. The damage of the seven attacks is 70% of the previous attack’s damage.

Soaring Wings: Can fly briefly for 360 seconds after use. Cooldown: 20 minutes. Comes with an afterimage visual effect.

“Powerful.” Jiang Cheng was slightly delighted.

HP and Mana increased by another 500 points. Although attack power only increased by 200 points, the main weapon only had 450. For an off-hand weapon to have 200 attack power could be said to be terrifying.

Critical Damage increased by 30%, equivalent to adding another 0.3x critical damage multiplier. Not counting the double damage from Dark Intimidation, the highest critical damage multiplier was now 5.3x!

Of course, the most formidable aspect was the Seven Slaughters effect.

Seven additional attacks!

Adding on his Gale Phantom Break’s 1 afterimage attack and Divine Wind Silhouette’s 3 attacks, if they all triggered, a single slash would be followed by 11 additional slashes!

“Let’s try enhancing it further.”

His entire body only had one main weapon and off-hand weapon. The main weapon was Mythical-grade and couldn’t be enhanced, so he could only use everything on the off-hand weapon.

A total of 11 Enhancement Stones allowed for 4 enhancements.

Before +5, the success rate was 80%.

After +5, the rate began to decrease by 10% per level.

At +11, the rate was only 10%!

Although Jiang Cheng had the skillful technique of using fodder items, he was too lazy to use it now.

Fortunately, his luck was also pretty good. All 4 enhancements succeeded!

【Calamity – Wings of the Seven Slaughters】

-Off-hand Weapon-

Quality: Legendary +4

HP +540

Mana +540

Attack +240

Strength +34

Agility +34

Critical Damage +34%

Seven Slaughters: Triggers true damage equal to 14% of your HP when attacking. 1% chance when attacking to trigger seven attacks. The damage of the seven attacks is 74% of the previous attack’s damage.

Soaring Wings: Can fly briefly for 364 seconds after use. Cooldown: 20 minutes. Comes with an afterimage visual effect.

The Great Wasteland’s enhancement mechanism inherited from Mythic was an all-round improvement!

This off-hand weapon was already a bit terrifying!

This gave him much more confidence in his upcoming plans to face the Temple.
