Dictator of the Undead: Evolution from a Skeleton Soldier

Chapter 7: The Effect of Deathly Aura

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the spider monster left, York carefully walked out from behind the rock wall.

“It killed five Skeleton Mages so easily. That spider monster is at least Level 20 and above.”

After escaping death, York felt a little helpless. The second level of the catacombs was more dangerous than he thought. He could lose his life if he wasn’t careful.

“I have to increase my strength as soon as possible. I might not be so lucky next time.”

York’s eyes lit up as he stared at the corpses of the Skeleton Mages killed by the spider monster.

Since these Skeleton Mages were the monsters of the Skeleton Race, the [Devour] talent should be effective on them.

Without hesitation, York walked forward and placed his hand on a Skeleton Mage.

The next moment, a stream of heat surged into York’s body.

York was delighted when he felt the familiar energy. As he expected, [Devour] worked on all Skeleton monsters.

“You’ve absorbed the essence of the Skeleton. Your body is stronger now.”

“Your Constitution has increased by 8 points.”

“Your Intelligence has increased by 10 points.”

“Perfect!”

York was so happy that he wanted to fly.

Unable to contain his excitement, York absorbed the skeletons of the other Skeleton Mages as quickly as possible.

“You’ve absorbed the essence of the Skeleton. Your body is stronger now.”

“Your Intelligence increased by 9 points.”

“Your Agility has increased by 8 points.”

“You absorbed the essence of the Skeleton. Your…”

…

After absorbing the essence of the five Skeleton Mages, York’s characteristic panel was completely changed.

[Name]: York

[Race]: Undead Race – Skeleton monster

[Level]: 8

[Status]: Health Points 67 (53%), Magic Power 103 (You are being corroded, you will lose 5 HP every minute.)

[Attributes]: Constitution 57, Strength 63, Intelligence 43, Agility 51

[Talent]: Devour

[Skills]: Ghost Slash, Fireball

[Special Trait]: 5% Corrosive Resistance

Fortunately, York discovered another skill book when he was checking the Skeleton Mages.

The Fireball skill made up for York’s lack of long-range attacks.

What surprised him even more was that his corrosive resistance was increasing over time.

“Will I be able to remove the corrosive state even without the blueberry fruit when my corrosive resistance reaches a certain level?”

York immediately dismissed the idea.

Even if this method worked, he would die from corrosive damage before he obtained 100% corrosive resistance.

The most important thing for him now was to find the blueberry fruit or other methods to recover his HP.

…

After obtaining the Fireball, his attributes improved again. Some ordinary monsters on the second level were no longer York’s match.

Monsters below Level 15 could be instantly killed by York with a single Ghost Slash. Even when surrounded by many monsters, York could cleverly use Fireball to kill them one by one.

As long as he didn’t provoke that spider monster, York was invincible on the second level of the catacombs.

Some time passed. After killing another Skeleton Swordsman, York finally reached Level 9.

However, York was not happy because his HP had reached the critical point.

Only 35 points remained.

If he was not careful and received a direct attack from the monster, he might be killed instantly.

If he could not find any way to recover his health, he would be dead.

Just as York was burning with anxiety, he heard a clamor in the distance.

Without thinking, York followed the sound and carefully felt his way over.

As he walked, York realized that the deathly aura in this direction was abnormally dense. It might be the place with the densest aura on the second level of the catacombs.

The deathly aura made York, who was now an undead creature, feel extremely comfortable. He felt as if he was soaking in the hot springs, it was too comfortable.

“You absorbed a large amount of death energy.”

“You have recovered 1 HP.”

The sudden notification woke York up.

After a short moment of shock, he quickly reacted.

Skeletons belonged to undead creatures, and the death energy was nourishment for the growth of undead creatures. In that case, the death energy should be able to restore the health of undead creatures.

In order to verify his theory, York ran towards the direction where the deathly aura was the thickest.

As he absorbed more and more death energy, his HP recovered faster.

“You absorbed a large amount of death energy.”

“You have recovered 1 HP.”

“You have recovered 1 HP.”

…

The continuous notifications of the system confirmed York’s guess, but as he went deeper, the noise became louder.

There seemed to be the sounds of many monsters fighting ahead.

York, who had finally found a way to recover his HP, couldn’t back down.

If anyone dared to block his path, he could only kill them..
