Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

However, the summoned skeletons became more powerful, but the number that could be summoned at once was relatively reduced.

Skeleton subjects could initially summon over 30,000 at a time, with a one-to-one ratio based on the Soul Value.

But the number of elite skeletons that could be summoned at once was only 3,000, a tenfold difference in quantity when compared to skeleton subjects.

When it came to rare skeletons, the number that could be summoned at once became 300, again a tenfold difference in quantity.

At this moment, Zi Liyuan looked at the subsequent derivative variants and strength enhancements of these skills; with the consumption of more than two million spiritual energy values, he could continue to strengthen and mutate once more.

What was there to hesitate about?

Just pour spiritual energy value into it and done!

[Summon Sword and Shield Skeleton Commander (Level 25)]: Using spirit as the guide, summon a sword and shield skeleton commander (silver grade) from the Nether Realm Territory for your use.

[Summon Magic Bow Skeleton Commander (Level 25)]: Using spirit as the guide, summon a magic bow skeleton commander (silver grade) from the Nether Realm Territory for your use.

[Summon Nether Cavalry Skeleton Commander (Level 25)]: Using spirit as the guide, summon a nether cavalry skeleton commander (silver grade) from the Nether Realm Territory for your use.

[Summon Netherworld Great Mage Skeleton (Level 25)]: Using spirit as the guide, summon a netherworld great mage skeleton (silver grade) from the Nether Realm Territory for your use.

While popping potions to recover spiritual energy value, he once again enhanced and mutated skills, directly producing four different types of skeleton troops.

The sword and shield skeleton commanders, definitely front-line meat shields, with decent attack power.

Magic bow skeleton commanders, ranged attackers with magical damage, and also possessed small bone daggers for melee combat.

Nether cavalry skeleton commanders, the cavalry legions, the main force of the charge into formation.

Netherworld great mage skeletons, oriented towards the undead mage category, capable of single-target output, area of effect spread, and could also summon elite skeletons into the battle.

Four types of troops, all of the uniform silver hero template, made Lord Zi regret that they were just ordinary monster templates, not bosses; otherwise, they would be even more powerful.

The only catch was that when summoned, only about 30 could be produced at a time.

Of course, after enhancing and mutating these four skills, he also saw the next stage of mutation and enhancement at the bottom of these skills.

However, the next mutation and enhancement required Zi Liyuan himself to reach the Fifth Order, that is, to break through the barrier of Level 100, and his spiritual energy value had to exceed ten million!

Difficult?

Not difficult at all, after awakening the Bloodline Power to 50%, he could temporarily activate bloodline enhancement, directly increasing all attributes by five times.

With his current spiritual energy value of 30 million-plus, five times would be 150 million; even with only 10 minutes, he could directly complete the mutation and enhancement of the skills.

Now what restricted him was simply his tier.

But for Zi Liyuan, being stuck at Tier 4 Peak Level 100 wouldn't take too long.

At the same time, Zi Liyuan also realized how difficult it was for professionals who ventured into the Sea of Realms as wanderers or mercenaries to break through the Fourth Order barrier.

Because among the conditions to break through to become a lord that he saw, it was necessary to upgrade the Lord's Mansion to Level 20.

Wanderers and mercenaries own no territory!

Those treasures that could help break through to the Fifth Order without needing a territory were extremely valuable and priceless!

Looking beyond the skeleton summoning skills, Lord Zi turned his gaze to a long list of undead species summoning skills.

Any troop type related to death could use the Nether Crystal Core for the third mutation and enhancement, with the cost of spiritual energy value ranging from more than two million to five million.

However, the skills that were mutated and enhanced this way summoned troops that were all normal monster templates; even if they were silver grade hero monsters but not BOSS templates, their strength was mediocre among those of the same tier, neither particularly strong nor weak.

Of course, Lord Zi didn't mind at all, at least having some was better than none.

This was also where death-related lords and summoning lords had a bigger advantage over other lords; because they could summon a large number of normal troops, their territory would not lack soldiers.

The only concern was the lack of high-end combat power and middle to high-level management.

But these weren't much of an issue for Zi Liyuan, who had obtained the Necro Realm on Blue Star; inside was a fully constructed Tier 5 Castle of the Undead, where he could directly recruit BOSS-level soldiers!

Summoning these BOSS-level undead to the Sea of Realms could temporarily solve the problem of insufficient middle and high-level management.

Of course, these BOSSes could only manage the Undead army, helping him to expand territory and defend his realm. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

As for the development of the territory, forget it, one couldn't expect much from this group of idiotic BOSSes who had nothing but emptiness in their skulls and only knew how to kill, kill, kill.

Moving beyond summoning skills, he looked at other elemental series skills. The number of skills that could undergo mutation and enhancement had significantly decreased.

"Death Dark Arrow" → "Necrotic Shadow Storm"

Lord Zi's strongest single-target skill had now transformed from affecting a single target to attacking groups, though its power hadn't changed much, and even as an area attack, the damage remained the same as if it were a single target.

In general, when striking a single target, the surplus elemental power would directly explode, covering an area of 10X10 in its blast.

"Spear of Death" → "Spear Rain of Death"

This skill was originally an area attack, relying mainly on piercing damage. The higher the level, the more spears would appear.

After another mutation and enhancement, the number doubled, but the power of each spear was halved, though the piercing effect remained unchanged.

"Death Ripple" → "Tidal Wave of Death"

It was already an area attack skill, with Spirit affecting all living beings indiscriminately while not affecting the caster and Undead creatures, its power equal to the Soul Value.

After the mutation and enhancement, the necrotic energy turned into a tidal wave, rushing outwards like a torrent, covering a range three times that of the max Spirit!

However, the power of this skill remained equivalent to the Soul Value.

A perfect skill for clearing minor monsters, it was pretty much useless against those BOSSes.

Of course, Lord Zi now had a Spirit Value of over 30,000, and at full power, it could exceed 200,000. If he used "Tidal Wave of Death" then, even an ordinary monster of the Fourth Order wouldn't last a few seconds.

He was quite satisfied with the mutation and enhancement of these three skills.

After all, he had gained three new powerful area attack skills, hadn't he?

Although "Tidal Wave of Death" didn't deal as much damage as the godly "Corpse Explosion Technique," its range was much wider!

This was the real godly skill for clearing minor monsters. From now on, they wouldn't even dream of getting in his way.

However, in his own territory, he couldn't use this skill carelessly, or he might accidentally injure his Subjects, which wouldn't be fun at all.

Next, Lord Zi turned his attention to curse-related skills.

A whole bunch of curse skills related to the laws of death could undergo mutation and enhancement.

But they were mostly transitioning from single-target to group-target curses, with the strength remaining the same; they simply cursed a larger area at once.

The curse skills that had emerged from this mutation and enhancement were more suited for use on the battlefield. When taking on a single BOSS, a single-target curse would suffice.

And there was absolutely no need to curse minor monsters.

Zi Liyuan had plenty of skills to clear minor monsters.

As for other skills, a quick scan showed that, apart from one or two exceptions, the rest could not undergo mutation and enhancement.

In the end, Lord Zi's gaze fell on a skill that displayed the potential for mutation and enhancement but was in a greyed-out locked state, so he couldn't mess with it for now.

The strongest forbidden spell that Zi Liyuan now controlled was "Undead Calamity"!

To use this forbidden spell, the minimum required Soul Value was 10,000 points, and it could cover a minimum range of 1,000 kilometers.

As long as there was a continuous supply of necrotic energy, this skill could exist indefinitely, and its range would continue to expand.

However, to mutate and enhance this skill, it would need 50,000,000 Spiritual Energy points!

Even with all of Zi Liyuan's current states, items, treasures, and stacked BUFFs, he was far from meeting this requirement.

However, the Level 100 Fourth Order forbidden spell "Undead Calamity," once fully mutated and enhanced, would definitely become a Level 100 Fifth Order forbidden spell, with its power increasing by at least three times.

"It's just unknown if using such an Undead forbidden spell in the Sea of Realms would get targeted."

On Blue Star, the use of "Undead Calamity" was strictly forbidden.

It was this very skill that nearly caused him to be ganged up on by powerful agents dispatched by the Coalition of Nations during the annihilation of the invaders.
