Chapter 352: Chapter 128: Lifebound Profound Corpse! Success

Suddenly.

[Skill EXP +4. Current Skill Level: LV4 (2/30,000)]

On the panel, the number that had held him back for over a month had finally broken through.

The very instant the skill level leaped up.

Lynch’s eyes flickered. He suddenly closed them, sinking his consciousness deep into his Sea of Spirit.

Within the vast Sea of Spirit, the Magic Model for the [Skeleton Summoning Skill] lit up. Its original runic patterns began to spread outward, becoming more complex and profound.

After a good while, the new Magic Model finished reconstructing itself and then solidified once more.

Lynch opened his eyes, the numb, hollow look in them finally replaced by vitality.

He shouted to the Giants, "Everyone, put your backs into it! Double the meat tonight!"

Hearing this, the Giants instantly shook off their listlessness and rallied their spirits.

Lynch, for his part, refocused and waved his Magic Staff again.

The Netherworld Vortex appeared again.

Following that, Bone Valor crawled out of the vortex once more.

Lynch took a closer look, and his eyes lit up.

Bone Valor had upgraded.

After the [True Skeleton Summoning Skill] was upgraded to LV4, the newly summoned Bone Valor’s skeleton was thicker and more lustrous. Bone spurs had appeared on its joints, its spine was straight, its Soul Fire shone brilliantly, and the Bone Knife in its hand seemed harder and sharper.

Clearly, the current Bone Valor had become a Tier Two Skeleton Warrior.

A smile crept onto Lynch’s lips. With a mental command, Bone Valor charged toward the five Giants again.

"Huh? This bag of bones seems a little different this time..." the lead Giant said, warily raising its Wolf Fang Club.

BANG—!!

The clash of the knife and club produced a loud, metallic clang!

The Skeleton Warrior was knocked back three steps, but it didn’t fall apart. Instead, it quickly stabilized itself and charged forward again, swinging its knife!

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

A rapid series of heavy impacts rang out.

The Skeleton Warrior fought one against five and was soon battered until bone fragments flew, its body covered in more than a dozen cracks. Yet, it managed to hold on for a full five or six seconds before collapsing under the Giants’ heavy blows.

’Good, good, good~’

’My cannon fodder, Bone Valor, has finally gotten stronger after all this grinding.’

What surprised Lynch even more was his discovery that he had gained another Contract Slot for a Netherworld Skeleton!

This meant he could now have a contract with a total of five Netherworld Skeletons.

A look of delight finally appeared on Lynch’s face.

’The True Skeleton Summoning Skill really is stronger than the simplified version~ A single level-up increases the skeleton’s tier and adds an extra Contract Slot.’

Since that was the case, Lynch certainly wasn’t going to hold back.

For a moment, even the tone of his chanting became a little more cheerful, and the movements of his waving Magic Staff grew more powerful.

The vortex opened, and Bone Valor returned once more like a king.

This time, however, Lynch didn’t immediately send it to its death as usual. Instead, with a thought, he waved his Magic Staff again.

Another Bone Valor crawled out of the Netherworld Vortex.

Its skeleton was just as thick and lustrous, its Soul Fire just as brilliant.

The two Bone Valors stood side-by-side, looking almost identical.

Lynch nodded in satisfaction and commanded them both with a single thought.

In the next instant, the two Bone Valors—one on the left, one on the right—charged toward the five Giants like two unsheathed greatswords.

"Huh? Why are two of them coming at once?" The lead Giant’s pupils shrank as it instinctively raised its Wolf Fang Club.

"Who cares how many there are? Just smash ’em!" another Giant grinned, swinging its club to meet them.

BANG!! BANG BANG—!!

The sounds of knives and clubs clashing were as dense as a torrential downpour.

The two Bone Valors coordinated perfectly, one attacking while the other created a diversion. They actually managed to survive for ten seconds under the combined assault of the five Giants.

However, the difference in strength was ultimately too great.

"All of you, get down!" the lead Giant roared, the veins on its arms bulging as it swung its club in a wide, sweeping arc.

BANG! CRASH~~

BANG! CRASH-CLATTER~~

The two Skeleton Warriors were sent flying almost simultaneously, tracing two arcs through the air before crashing hard onto the ground, their skeletons scattering everywhere.

Lynch didn’t even bat an eye.

He waved his Magic Staff again.

A third Bone Valor crawled out.

A fourth.

A fifth...

The Giants gradually returned to their numb state.

’Even two at once are no match for our five solid iron Wolf Fang Clubs!’

BANG! CRASH.

BANG! CRASH-CLATTER.

BANG!! CRASH-CLATTER-CLATTER~~

A thick layer of bone fragments covered the bluestone slabs of the courtyard, glowing with a ghastly white sheen under the moonlight.

Lynch’s eyes once again became hollow and numb.

His Mana pool was nearing depletion for the third time.

But he kept waving his Magic Staff.

The Netherworld Vortex opened.

A rather different-looking Skeleton crawled out from the vortex.

In an instant, Lynch’s eyes lit up, the numbness finally gone.

The Skeleton before him was nowhere near as large or sturdy as Bone Valor; it looked somewhat frail.

But in its hand, it held a Magic Staff made of bone.

The Magic Staff was about four feet long, its shaft wrapped in a spiral pattern, and its tip was embedded with a pale white Crystal Stone.

In addition, this Skeleton wore a bone crown on its head. The crown looked rather simple, but it highlighted the vast difference in status between it and an ordinary Skeleton.

This was a Skeleton Mage.

It stood quietly in place, the Soul Fire in its eye sockets flickering calmly, giving it a very composed appearance.

’Ooh~’

’A Skeleton Mage unit finally appeared.’

Lynch’s eyes brightened slightly, but he wasn’t overly surprised.

’In fact, ever since my skill became [True Skeleton Summoning], the probability of contracting a special Skeleton unit was already not low.’

’Previously, while grinding the skill with Bone Valor, I had occasionally summoned Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Shield Guards, and even rare units like Skeleton Scouts and Skeleton Mages.’
