Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 440 A resounding victory, a bountiful harvest, and two divine skills!

Chapter 440 A resounding victory, a bountiful harvest, and two divine skills!

The skeletons and zombies staggered along unconsciously, trampling and bumping into each other, ignoring even the Heavenly Knights who brushed past them.

The entire undead army was waiting for its final collapse.

"This is impossible, this is impossible!"

The flames in Vladimir's eyes suddenly erupted, and he let out a mad roar.

"How could my undead army collapse? This has never happened before!"

Fangzhou watched this scene from afar from the city wall, and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

The Soul Battlefield amplifies the user's soul power countless times, enabling him to do earth-shattering things in the soul world.

However, it still has its limits.

"Blindly summoning beings far more powerful than yourself, you have exceeded the limits of soul power."

When that existence collapses, your soul collapses along with it.

"You have already lost, Vladimir, the remnant of the Naraku civilization!"

"I didn't lose!"

Vladimir grinned maliciously and pointed a finger at the Ark, "Finger of Death!"

However, the black light flickered slightly at the pseudo-corpse witch's fingertips, and then vanished as quickly as a bubble.

"What's going on? My magic power—"

The two eerie green flames in his eyes appeared even dimmer and lifeless.

"Your soul has suffered severe trauma, and it is now manifesting in your body."

You're finished, Vladimir!

After saying that, Fang Zhou raised the wooden cane in his hand, and a powerful force surged within him.

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, forcing even the Heavenly Knights to halt their charge.

Fortunately, the undead army appeared even more vulnerable amidst the trembling, and collapsed completely almost simultaneously.

Golden lightning ripped through the sky above the white castle, like the furious roar of a thunderbolt, or like the sky and clouds exploding simultaneously.

A series of earth-shattering thunderclaps erupted, each accompanied by a dazzling flash of lightning, engulfing the lich and the skeletal dragon beneath his feet in a blinding light.

In the blink of an eye, countless grayish-white bone fragments fell from the sky, like an ominous snowfall.

This is the Storm Mage's glorious champion-level skill, [Thunder Bomb].

Ark easily simulated it in its own soul world.

A plume of black smoke carrying a grayish-white object fell from the sky and crashed heavily not far from the castle.

The object was a human skeleton with only half a body remaining, with wisps of electricity still clinging to it.

The skull of this skeleton was covered with cracks, and the eerie green flames in the eye sockets were so dim that they were almost invisible.

Moreover, his left arm was severed at the shoulder and disappeared without a trace, while only the part of his right arm above the wrist remained, barely supporting his body so that he wouldn't collapse.

The lich Vladimir has reached his limit.

"I never imagined that a mere Black Iron rank necromancer would possess such formidable soul power."

A castle, an army, and such powerful magical constructs.

The lich Vladimir suddenly said in a low voice, "In that case, let us become one."

You defeated me, so everything I have should rightfully be your gain.

One day, I will be reborn from your body.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two dim necromantic flames suddenly went out from the pseudo-lich's eye sockets.

Then his body swayed and, to Fang Zhou's astonishment, collapsed into countless tiny bone fragments!

Finally, like a dense rain of arrows, they shot towards every corner of this soul world.

Fangzhou was somewhat taken aback.

These tiny bone fragments are the physical manifestation of Vladimir's spiritual power.

Previously dominated by the will of the pseudo-corpse witches, their power was astonishing, and the Ark could only engage in a head-on soul battle.

But now, Vladimir has voluntarily relinquished his will, and these scattered fragments of soul are nothing more than crystallized soul power without a master.

These are exactly the food that the attribute panel loves most.

Sure enough, a notification appeared in the attribute panel.

"A large number of impure soul crystals have been detected. Should we begin absorbing them?"

First, full absorption. This can provide a large amount of soul power, but there will be unknown adverse effects.

Second, the essence is absorbed. The amount of soul power absorbed is greatly reduced, with no side effects, and there is a possibility of extracting unknown gains.

Just as he had imagined, it was a rare and unforgettable feast for the soul!

Fangzhou made a decision immediately, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the attribute panel was activated.

Absorb the essence!

Vladimir's scattered soul fragments were immediately stripped away by an unstoppable force.

With a barely audible wail, Ark watched as the Soul Power inventory in the attribute panel surged by nearly ten thousand points.

Then a large number of repetitive prompts were sent out.

"Unknown soul knowledge has been extracted, and it cannot be analyzed at this time."

"Unknown soul knowledge has been extracted, and it cannot be analyzed at this time."

"Unknown soul knowledge was extracted, and the skill [Soul Contest] was successfully deciphered."

"Unknown soul knowledge was extracted, and the [Soul Link] skill was successfully deciphered."

"Unknown soul knowledge has been extracted, and it cannot be analyzed at this time."

Among a long list of unknown prompts, the icons for the Soul Contest and Soul Link skills stood out, immediately attracting Ark's attention.

Fangzhou looked delighted as he examined the descriptions of the two skills.

[Soul Contest] (Iron Level, Beginner): A soul-based skill of the Naraku Civilization's necromancers, upgradable. Consuming all mana, the user projects all their soul power into the enemy's soul world, creating a soul contest battlefield. Both sides engage in a one-on-one battle using their soul power until the duration ends or one side dies. This skill is extremely dangerous; use with caution.

[Soul Link] (Black Iron Tier, Beginner): A soul-based skill for necromancers of the Naraku Civilization, upgradable. Consumes mana to establish a strong soul link with an undead creature summoned by the user. A certain percentage of damage taken is transferred to the linked undead creature through the soul link, and the linked creature bears the damage. The number of links, damage sharing percentage, and duration depend on the user's spirit attribute and skill proficiency.

Fangzhou carefully read the descriptions of the two skills, his smile growing wider.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of soul power contributed by Vladimir, just the fact that these two soul-type skills have just been analyzed has already made Ark a huge profit.

The Ark has already experienced the effects of the Soul Contest.

Even with his enhanced Bone Armor skill, it couldn't withstand Vladimir's Soul Contest attack and was dragged into the Soul Battlefield without any resistance.

Faced with the terrifying undead scourge conjured by Vladimir, if it weren't for Ark's training at the Sea City Military Academy, which had given him extensive knowledge of countering different unit types and its own powerful soul essence, along with the accumulated soul power reserves in its attribute panel...

Just as Vladimir had predicted, the Ark had been completely devoured by him, becoming a stepping stone for his reincarnation.

Nevertheless, Ark wasn't particularly impressed by the power of the Soul Contest.

This skill is far too dangerous.

Take Vladimir as an example. In his unknown years, he may have defeated countless powerful enemies with this trump card skill, but in the end, he still failed and was defeated at the Ark.

The world of the soul.

A direct contest of soul power.

It sounds simple, but every single detail is incredibly dangerous.

No one knows what secrets another person holds in their soul.

Rushing in recklessly would be playing with your life.

Not to mention that Vladimir chose to use the Soul Contest skill to deal with the Ark because he was already a remnant soul and had no corpse left.

All he needs to do is use the power of his remnant soul to rush into the Ark's soul world and shatter the Ark's soul, and he can be reborn in the Ark's body without worrying about whether his body in the outside world will be killed by others.

But the Ark is different.

He is a necromancer with immense potential, possessing both a powerful physical body and a powerful soul.

If he rashly uses the Soul Expulsion skill, his body in the outside world will be left unprotected, and he will become someone else's prey.

With that in mind, Fangzhou focused his attention on the Soul Link skill.

Compared to the battle of souls, this skill was what truly captivated him.

The simple and straightforward skill description perfectly illustrates the power of this skill.

With Ark's current skill proficiency and mental attributes, it can link a summoned undead creature to absorb one-third of the damage it suffers.

This has transcended the realm of ordinary skills; it is a life-saving divine skill that all magic users would want to possess.

Not to mention that as the Ark professional's level, mental attributes, and skill proficiency increase, the number of undead summons that can be linked and share damage will increase.

One day, as long as his army of the undead has not been destroyed, he will never fall.

The notification sounds from the properties panel continued to ring, but the frequency was gradually decreasing.

Without the ability to collect soul power, Vladimir's self-destruction in the Ark's soul world might have brought him lifelong trouble.

But now, it has simply become another cornerstone for the Ark to become stronger.

Having a cheat code is great.

Fangzhou shook his head with a sigh, then turned and exited the soul world.

The moment Fangzhou regained consciousness, he gripped the necromancer orb tightly, his vision blurry.

The silent, three-story hall of the tomb was a stark contrast to the battlefield of souls that the Ark had just experienced.

Fang Zhou shook his head gently, regaining his senses, and looked around at the battlefield before him.

Before Vladimir used the Soul Contest skill on him, he had exhausted all of Vladimir's undead attribute energy to unleash a powerful soul storm.

Perhaps due to the enhancement of the alchemical array remaining in the tomb, or perhaps because he had previously devoured too many mixed souls, this soul storm directly shattered the defenses of all the expedition members except for the Ark, leaving them in a state of dizziness from which they could not recover for a long time.

Even worse, several werewolves and mudwolves with particularly weak soul power had their wills shattered and were reduced to withered shells.

Fangzhou sighed softly, silently mourning for his temporary teammates for a few seconds, but at the same time, a sense of relief rose within him.

Judging from the fragments of Vladimir's soul that he had digested, their expedition had arrived at just the right time.

Vladimir, the remnant soul of the Naraku civilization, had just been awakened from his slumber by the drow elf from before.

After a fierce battle, Vladimir, with the help of his unpredictable soul-based skills, successfully devoured the souls of all the chaotic monsters, including the drow elves, forming an unusually bloated and enormous soul-stitched body.

Given time, with the help of the contingency plans he left behind in this tomb of the dead, Vladimir has a chance to successfully refine the soul power he needs.

By then, having discarded the cumbersome and mixed powers of the souls within the Soul Stitch, Vladimir's strength will have undergone a qualitative leap.

If you add the corpses of monsters and natives in the fragments of the Forest of Nature, Vladimir could easily summon a massive army of undead in no time.

At that point, it won't be the Ark leading the natural expedition to subdue him, but rather Vladimir leading an army of the undead to hunt down all kinds of creatures without restraint.

Shaking his head, Fangzhou turned his gaze to his teammates.

The battlefield is a mess; let's get them back to consciousness first.

Inside the burial hall, Hong Yang frowned, covered his head, and slumped to the floor.

A distorted human face was speaking loudly in front of him, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Who are you? What are you saying?"

He felt he was asking a question, but in reality, his lips only moved twice, and no sound came out.

"Hongyang, you're finally awake! How are you feeling?"

The man continued speaking, and Hong Yang finally heard him clearly. At the same time, the scenery in front of him became clear, allowing Hong Yang to recognize the young face.

"Ark? Is that you?"

Hong Yang made a hoarse sound.

"Looks like it worked; you've finally come to your senses."

Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and brought a water bag to Hong Yang's mouth.

Hong Yang then realized how incredibly thirsty he was, and opened his mouth, swallowing large gulps of the sweet liquid.

These liquids were clearly not ordinary water. A cool sensation flowed directly into Hongyang's stomach, followed by a burning sensation, which revitalized his nearly paralyzed body.

"What kind of potion is this?"

Hong Yang felt a bit stronger, pushed open the water bag, and asked softly.

Such a simple question caused a strange expression to appear on Fangzhou's face, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This—oh, in a sense, it is indeed a kind of medicine."

But we usually call it purified lunar spring water.

A slightly hoarse female voice came from behind Fang Zhou, and then Liu Diewu's head popped out.
