Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 668 - 448: Summon [Corpse Tomb], Portable Lord Space!

In the following period, Fang Zhou entered a long-awaited phase of explosive growth in power.

On one hand, his primary body as an Undead Mage continuously digested the various kinds of necromantic knowledge he had gained, with the help of the research team. After he imparted the secret knowledge of the Naraku Civilization, which he had unearthed from the Altar of Death in the Corpse Hill, to Master Sandro and Instructor Su Xinyan, many longstanding issues that had troubled the two Great Undead Mages were resolved.

When all seemed lost, a new hope emerged on the horizon. In their ecstasy, they naturally delved into even deeper research.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou’s Clone invested all his energy into deciphering the Altar of Death and the weak Authority of the Undead Realm. He poured all his accumulated Soul Power and contribution points into deducing and perfecting the Universal Skills for Bronze-level Combat Professionals. Almost a month passed by without him even realizing it.

「...」

In the underground altar beneath the Skeleton Castle, Fang Zhou slowly opened his eyes. He was not the only figure present. During this period, he had dispatched his Undead Servants to collect Mutated Skeletons and Mutated Zombies from all over the Corpse Hill. After his Skeleton Monarch skill once again received a Blood Moon Blessing and evolved into the Corpse Lord skill, he could successfully enslave Zombie Series undead as a new type of subordinate.

A group of Mutated Skeleton and Zombie Servants stood beside Fang Zhou.

After being purified by the Altar of Death, a thick chain of mist surged out from the black vortex, linking to Fang Zhou and infusing his body with a vast amount of death aura.

After a month of nonstop absorption of the aura from the Authority of Death, Fang Zhou’s Four-dimensional Attributes had grown significantly. His Spirit Attribute, the most difficult one to raise, rose from 300 points a month ago to nearly 400. This didn’t even account for the growth in his other attributes like strength and physique.

Such a significant growth in attributes in just one month was a testament to the power of the Altar of Death. Even the dozens of Mutated Skeletons and Zombies had evolved during this process, each reaching the level of Black Iron Great Perfection.

However, now that his power had reached this level, the aura transformed by the Altar of Death had a much weaker effect on him. This was not only because the flow of aura from the altar had diminished, but also because he himself had become too powerful.

To put it simply, the small pond of the Corpse Hill could no longer contain Fang Zhou, a Bronze-level Undead. If he wanted his strength to improve as rapidly as before, he either had to find a larger pond or completely master this weak authority.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou glanced at his attribute panel. After more than a month of repeated analysis, a vague authority column had appeared on it.

Perhaps the final devouring and absorption is about to begin.

「...」

Just as Fang Zhou expected, another week passed. After he registered a minor growth in his attributes, the attribute panel finally responded again.

"Authority analysis complete. Absorption will consume 10,000 Soul Power. Begin?"

Fang Zhou unhesitatingly chose to absorb.

With the expenditure of 10,000 points of Soul Power, Fang Zhou felt his entire soul enter an unprecedented state of detachment and bewilderment. The process did not last long before the attribute panel displayed another prompt.

"Successfully absorbed the weak Authority of the Undead Realm. Determining authority form..."

From the depths of his Soul Fire, Fang Zhou felt an increasingly intimate connection to the Undead Blood Moon in the sky.

Inspiration struck. An image of a majestic Skeleton Castle flashed through his mind, and he chose to solidify the absorbed weak authority into the form of a domain.

The attribute panel reacted immediately.

"Authority form solidified as a portable domain. Activating authority column."

[Authority] Corpse (Weak)

1. Corpse Tomb (To be named): You have mastered the weak authority of the Corpse Hill. A portable Corpse Tomb has been generated in the depths of your Soul Fire, giving you an unparalleled advantage in developing and utilizing the Corpse Hill. It can periodically generate Soul Power, as well as produce, modify, and summon Skeleton Series and Zombie Series Undead Creatures.

2. Corpse Guards: Allows you to enslave Skeleton Series and Zombie Series Undead Creatures below the Bronze level. The number of guards cannot exceed the average value of your Four-dimensional Attributes.

3. Corpse Commander’s Seal: Allows you to create Corpse Commander’s Seals. These grant subordinate Skeleton Series and Zombie Series Undead Creatures the ability to control lower-level undead. The seal’s power is determined by the resources and strength invested.

Fang Zhou’s Soul Fire surged as he quickly took it all in. This was precisely the outcome he had longed for while guarding the altar. The Corpse Guards ability had evolved from his previous Skeleton Monarch skill, and the Corpse Commander’s Seal ability was likely the Blood Moon Blessing he had absorbed from the Skeleton Lord. Both of these developments were just as he had anticipated.

What truly delighted him was the effect of the Corpse Tomb. It couldn’t help but remind him of the various Undead Forces from the fantasy stories he knew.

He eagerly opened the column for the Corpse Tomb. The Corpse Tomb existed inside his Soul Fire, a truly tangible creation. Since this mysterious authority had been devoured and digested by the attribute panel, Fang Zhou naturally held complete control over it.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou felt a subtle excitement build within him. He took a deep breath and silently gave the command.

Enter the Corpse Tomb!
