“A perfect rating, just like that?”

Taken aback, Mu Yuan thought it sounded reasonable.

Even an army of ‘medium intelligence’ had a chance to pass the Hero Trial, not to mention Emperor Dead Bone.

“Easy, peasy, I could probably do it myself.”

The trial is just a threshold, keeping the weaklings outside. The real essence lies in the rule infusion post-trial.

Mu Yuan was eagerly anticipating it.

Only the real figure of General Dead Bone remained, as the Trial Space shattered like illusions.

In a moment, a halo of rules descended, refining its body and soul.

‘Ding!’

‘Alert: Your troop type, Dead Bone, has been refined, upgraded to a Hero Unit, and unlocked Hero’s Aura.’

‘Alert: Your hero Dead Bone has learned the strategic skill ‘Death Legion’ during the cleansing.’

‘Alert:…’

‘Alert:…’

Alert noises kept ringing in his ears, more frequent than ever before.

After some time, Mu Yuan’s consciousness returned. Numerous pitch-black threads also appeared out of nowhere in his territory. They were spreading and intertwining, forming a giant black cocoon.

Seconds later, cracks began to appear on the black cocoon. This startled Duo

Lai who was not far away, causing him to retreat a dozen meters.

The black cocoon shattered with a loud bang, revealing the figure of the Dead

Bone.

The Hero’s baptism enhanced its position, unlocked the Aura, and awakened its talents. Yet it doesn’t alter the status of the trialist. But…

The Dead Bone that returned exhibited slight modifications.

A pitch-black cloak hung over its silver-white armor, fluttering in the wind. A mysterious Hero’s mark was engraved on its forehead bone. It shone brightly in the sunlight, only fading away a few seconds later.

‘Dead Bone (Hero)’

‘Level: O-tier level 9’

‘Strategic Skill: Death Legion’

‘Hero Talent: Undead Domination’

‘Dominance Quantity: 0/1000’

‘Hero’s Aura: Attack Level 1, Resistance Level 1, Movement Speed +10%, Energy for Undead system troops +10%.’

‘Death Legion: Absorb the breath of death from the battlefield to summon a large number of undead creatures such as Little Skeletons, Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Warriors, ghosts, Abominations, Vampires, Death Knights and more to kill enemies. The quantity, tier, strength, and duration of the summoned undead are determined by the breath of death on the battlefield and the caster’s strength. During the skill’s duration, the healing ability of the undead will greatly increase. After the skill ends, a small number of low-level undead can be transformed into troops, existing permanently.’

‘Note: This is a strategic skill. It requires a long prelude and consumes a large amount of energy. The caster can use Soul Crystals to substitute some of the

energy.’

“Death Legion!”

Upon scrutinizing, Mu Yuan thought, “Compared to the Skeleton Monsters resurrected by Undead Resurrection, the Death Legion has advantages like large number, high level, and strong Combat Power. Also, they don’t consume animal skeletons. But they do consume more Soul Crystals.”

Well, of course!

What’s a strategic skill? A skill that has the qualification to change the course of a war is a strategic skill! That’s a war consisting of at least tens of thousands of troops. He’s only leading legions to attack the Goblin Camp at the moment, which is merely a skirmish, far from being a war.

Mu Yuan had heard of some strategic skills, such as Fire Meteor, Ghost Passage, Brilliant Inspiration, and Lustrous Celestial Soldiers, all of which were divine skills.

“Strategic skills aren’t used on a daily basis. But with this move, even if General Dead Bone can only exert a little power due to his low level, it’s a formidable trump card. It has raised my hopes for the Lord Trial a little more.”

And the Hero Talent…

“Undead Domination: The destructive power and energy limit of the creatures under the control of the undead are slightly increased, and the energy recovery speed is moderately increased. At the same time, the undead can borrow to a certain extent the power of the undead creatures under its control, gathering it onto themselves. The maximum effect depends on the number of undead within the control range and the controller’s capacity.”

These two abilities are obviously very compatible.

Mu Yuan’s eyes brightened.

Wondering, he theorized, “The forum bosses said that the second-tier baptism can learn strategic skills and the third-tier can awaken Hero Talent, so… what about the fourth-tier baptism? What is the extra gift from heaven and earth?” At this moment, the skull of the undead was still hanging low, its eyes not yet glowing with a faint blue light, as if it had not yet woken up.

The Sword of the Dead, its primary weapon, was slung behind it, while its palm stretched forwards, as if making the motion of holding a sword.

Next moment,

A faint ghostly light burst forth from the palm of the undead’s hand. It was an intricate weave and pattern as if it contained the deepest mysteries of heaven and earth.

Just a moment later, a dark silver greatsword that had some resemblance to the Sword of the Dead appeared in the hand of the undead.

Both sides of the sword’s edge were pitch black, and the center was somewhat silver-white. A majestic skull was embedded at the end of the hilt, and a dark purple gem was set in place connecting the hilt and the sword blade. It seemed to hold enormous power, which was continuously transmitted and spread throughout the entire blade.

“Ding!”

“Prompt: Hero Undead has received a gift from heaven and earth and has created a weapon suitable for itself, the ‘Wailing Death’.”

“Wailing Death”

“Category: Special Hero Weapon”

“Ability: Contains Advanced Sharpness, Advanced Toughness, Life Draining, Self-repair and other characteristics. It can moderately increase the holder’s strength, energy, and spirit. At the same time, Wailing Death can absorb death’s breath from the surrounding area, enhancing the holder’s three dimensions for a short time. After enhancement, the holder’s three dimensions will also get a slight permanent boost. Wailing Death also has a great capacity for storing death’s breath.”

“Remark: This equipment is a suitable weapon for ‘Hero-Undead’. If held by any other creature, including undead creatures, it will continuously drain their life force and even their soul.”

The baptism was finally over, and the undead slowly woke up—their empty eye sockets glowed with a faint blue radiance.”

“Bone did not fail its entrusted task.”

If it hadn’t achieved a perfect score, it would feel ashamed of the Lord’s cultivation.

At the same time, it was also somewhat excited. After the Hero Refinement, it seemed capable of regaining its steady glory—resisting at the forefront, slaying the enemies of the territory… It couldn’t rest assured by only relying on Duo Lai to deal with powerful enemies.

The new power arrived, and the undead immediately went out on a testing journey.

The four improvements it gained this time—Hero’s Aura, Strategic Skills, Hero Talent, Fitting Weapon—the one that truly greatly enhanced its combat power was the exclusive weapon.

It found a lucky Grey Wolf, restrained it with Death Suppression, and then lightly slashed with the giant sword in its hand.

There was no blood, the wound instantly turned gray, and then the entire wolf shriveled up, like it was just skin and bones, it fell to the ground.

“Goodness, that’s too savage.”

The observing Great Lord Mu Yuan gasped, but then had a second thought, “This is our general after all, so it’s fine. Continue being savage, be very savage.”

“The two major Strategic Skills, along with an exclusive weapon, these three complement each other. And from the looks of it, the undead is very suitable for large-scale battles.”

Of course, every Hero was a military commander, their job was to command troops in battle, but the undead seemed more adept at it.

Under its command, not only did the undead troops become stronger, it was also better at utilizing the power of its subordinate and battlefield advantage, unleashing horrifying power.

This is Hero Undead.

A skeleton at a high level of Apprentice Level 9..
