Chapter 602 -390: Marshal-Level Skeleton Commander (Golden Lord)

The skills in the skill bar once again lit up with derivative mutation enhancement.
What delighted Zi Liyuan even more was that the “Skeleton Summoning” series skills, which originally required him to reach the fifth tier, that is, surpass LV100, to continue mutating,
could continue to undergo derivative mutation enhancement as well, which was truly an unexpected joy.
As a result, the skeletons of silver quality at the warlord level he had just created a few days ago advanced further today.
The latest derivative mutation enhancement turned the skeletons directly into marshal-level gold quality.
However, the number summoned at once showed a tenfold decline again.
Previously, with a Soul Value of over 30K, he could summon only 30 warlord-level skeletons (silver) at a time.
Now with over 70K Nether Soul Value, he could only summon 7 marshal-level skeletons (gold) at a time.
Even though the Nether Spirit, after its transformation and evolution, was several times stronger than the normal Spirit, it still required 10K Soul Value to summon one.
Zi realized that if he were to undergo another derivative mutation enhancement, he would need at least 100K Soul Value to successfully summon one, but its quality might reach Epic Purple Quality!
There were four types of marshal-level skeletons: melee, ranged, cavalry, and mage. However, the template upgrade only doubled their strength, although they all possessed a unified passive skill—”Skeleton Dominion”!
[Skeleton Dominion: A natural skeleton leader, can dominate undead skeletons (including BOSS level) of a lower template than itself, with a maximum domination value of 100K.]
One could dominate 100K skeletons; seven would be 700K, and producing 10 would ensure a million-strong Skeleton Army.
It should be noted that the skeletons summoned using Zi’s mutation skills benefited from his own skill bonuses!
The summoned elite skeletons with a skill summoning level of LV25 reached first-tier battle power, rare skeletons reached first-tier peak battle power, hero skeletons reached second-tier, and lord skeletons reached second-tier peak battle power.
With Zi’s several passive amplification skills for skeletons, he could roughly boost their battle power by one tier.
Such Skeleton Army battle power could only be described as terrifying.
The only regret Zi had was that they all had ordinary monster templates and were not BOSSes; otherwise, their power would have multiplied geometrically.
However, after this wave of mutation enhancement, the troop strength of the territory was no longer lacking.
With rule changes in the Sea of Realms, the summoned skeletons were no longer bound by the summoning contract; if Zi did not use the Spirit to control them, these skeletons had the possibility of rebelling.
Moreover, the skeletons’ intelligence was truly not commendable, especially for the small skeletons created using the fundamental skill “Skeleton Summoning.”
Although he could summon tens of thousands at once, they were utterly fragile, and without a commander, they could get lost and wander off while working.
If it weren’t for Zi synthesizing quite a few White Jade Skeletons as overseers, who knew how many of these small skeletons working off the books would be lost?
Even with White Jade Skeletons as overseers, Zi Liyuan summoned over a hundred thousand small skeletons in total, with daily losses in the thousands.
The mortality rate in the past two days fluctuated around two thousand; of those legitimately working off the books, only a few hundred were killed, while the rest simply got lost and were killed by monsters.
Just a touch, and they turned into bone shards like that.
But things improved now as Zi only needed to summon more marshal-level skeleton leaders to easily manage the undead skeletons in the territory.
At the same time, he also avoided the massive pressure on the Soul Value caused by several summoning contracts.
Although they could be summoned and left alone, to control them, communication with the summoning contract via the Spirit was still required—which, with constant control, naturally exhausted mental energy.
Now, with these marshal-level skeleton leaders, the majority of Soul Value pressure was effectively relieved.
Zi had no qualms and summoned once for each of the four types of skeleton leaders, acquiring a total of 28 skeleton leaders.
He immediately handed these 28 skeleton leaders over to Edward to arrange matters related to the management of the Skeleton Army.
Zi Liyuan himself relaxed, lay down, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Even though his physique and Spirit were inherently robust, he could not withstand the fatigue brought by the transformation and evolution of his life level through bodily reconstruction by death energy.
At the moment, after checking himself, waves of fatigue washed over his Spirit, and once his mind relaxed, he quickly fell asleep.
What he didn’t know was that things outside had become quite lively.
After Edward dispatched the 28 leader skeletons to leave the Lord’s Mansion, they immediately took over the entire Skeleton Army management in the territory.
These skeleton leaders, though not BOSS templates, were quite intelligent, and their management and command of the skeletons were adept.

Previously, the excessive number of skeletons caused disorder in the territory, resulting in low work efficiency.
With these skeleton leaders at the helm now, the skeletons’ actions became orderly, and work efficiency improved by one grade.
Of course, the small skeleton subjects remained quite ineffectual; that couldn’t be helped due to their weak basis, not even qualifying as skeleton cannon fodder.
Their work efficiency, even at maximum development, was only a quarter of that of normal human subjects.
Naturally, living subjects needed rest, food, and other physiological needs, but the small skeleton subjects did not.
