Infinite Skin System: Starting as An Eldritch Knight-Chapter 67: Skeleton Knight

For Terror Line, the difference after fusion was the skill Rage, a skill that could temporarily enhance the Terror’s power. The difference between Rage and Adrenaline was that one was a biological process while the other was a mental one.

As for Undead, instead of a Skill, all Tainted Undead gained a new ability called Tainted Life.

- Tainted Life: All creatures slain by you shall become an undead.

A short, concise ability that turned the Corruption of the Black Blood from uncertainty to absolute dominion.

Carter’s eyes widened a little bit just by reading the new ability. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

’This ability cannot be spread. Otherwise... An entire world could be destroyed.’

He made a mental note to keep this skill under control. Then Carter continued to forge the Medium Shards.

[Lost x50 Medium Undead Shards (Awaken)]

[Acquired Armored Undead]

[Acquired Recurved Undead]

[Acquired Spiked Undead]

[Acquired Shielded Undead]

[Acquired Corroded Undead]

’What the? Five unique Medium Undead. That’s a first time.’

Carter pulled up each of them to examine. Each Undead Skin had the same amount of skills as one another. A Level 3 Free-Running Skill and a level 5 Physical Fortitude. The only difference was their item or ability.

[Armored Undead’s Item]:

- Dead Armor: A suit of armor that halves every physical attacks coming your way. Can be summoned again after destruction (6 hours cool-down).

[Recurved Undead’s Item]:

- Recurved Bow and Quiver: A bow made out of black steel and a quiver that filled itself back up. Can be summoned again after destruction (6 hours cool-down).

[Spiked Undead’s Item]:

- Spiked Boots: A metal boots with spikes underneath. It allowed the wearer to maintain extreme balance and traverse on vertical surfaces. Can be summoned again after destruction (6 hours cool-down).

[Shielded Undead’s Item]:

- Stone Shield: A shield made of stone that can absorb great amount of shock. Can be summoned again after destruction (6 hours cool-down).

[Corroded Undead’s Ability]:

- Corrosive Matter: You may release a corrosive acid that eat through physical and magical defense anywhere on your body. You and your items are immune to this ability’s effect.

Carter took a deep breath in as he read the final ability.

’The last one’s ability just elevate everything else into a new level’.

Each Undead on its own was weak, had huge weaknesses and wouldn’t last long on the battlefield. They could only survive in high number.

But Carter could fuse them all into one simply by using the Corrupted Skeleton.

’Zombie? Ghoul? Ignore all that. It’s time for the one and only Skeleton Warrior to be the king of Undead!’

Carter began his fusing process.

Corrupted Skeleton was still a Minor Awaken because it was still at level 3. He combined it with two Slicing Undead Skins.

[Lost Corrupted Skeleton (3 STAR)]

[Lost x2 Slicing Undead]

[Acquired Corrupted Skeleton (5 STAR)]

Now that it had become a Medium Awaken. Carter fused it with the Tainted Undead he had.

[Fusing x2 Sprinting Tainted Undead and x1 Corrupted Skeleton (5 STAR)]

[Acquired Corrupted Skeleton (6 STAR)]

[Fusing x2 Spreading Tainted Undead and x1 Corrupted Skeleton (6 STAR)]

[Acquired Corrupted Skeleton (7 STAR)]

7 Star Level was the second highest level in Medium Undead, only after 8 Star Level. Carter had no more duplicates to raise Corrupted Skeleton anymore. He could wait for more duplicates and fuse later.

But instead, he sacrificed the remaining unique Undead to the Corrupted Skeleton.

[Sacrificed x1 Whipping Tainted Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Tattered Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Webbed Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Armored Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Recurved Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Spiked Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Shielded Undead]

[Sacrificed x1 Corroded Undead]

[SKELETON WARRIOR ACQUIRED]

Carter breathed heavily just by looking at the window full of texts containing Skeleton Warrior’s details. The skin had become very strong. It was still weaker than Dracula and Eldritch Knight because of its level. However, if it was on the same level at them...

Skeleton Warrior was more powerful than Eldritch Knight on the same level for sure. As for Dracula, Carter didn’t really know. Maybe Dracula would win. Maybe the Skeleton would win.

’I can do more.’ Carter was addicted.

The cloak seals the power of the Skeleton Knight and it might be released at anytime to summon the Eldritch Undead Armor. Eldritch Undead Armor alters the Undead Arsenal.

Carter blinked his eyes a few times. He had a new number one. It was no longer Dracula.

His strongest skin was now the Eldritch Skeleton Knight.
