Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 527 - 377: Personal Undead Space, Summoned Creatures List!

Under Silvanas’ command, the two Skeletons engaged in a fierce battle. Bone Claws and fangs clashed, and the sound of breaking bones echoed through the air.

Eventually, both Skeletons fell to the ground, perishing together.

This demonstrated that Artificial Skeletons did not differ in combat ability from summoned Skeletons.

As an Apprentice-level Artificial Skeleton Skill, achieving such an effect was already more than adequate.

Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan naturally realized this as well, excitement shining in their eyes.

Once this technology was widely adopted, it would undoubtedly enrich the tactical options for Undead Mages, providing them with more robust support in future battles.

After the projection demonstration ended, Silvanas stood quietly to the side. Sandro smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Fang Zhou exclaimed, "It’s truly breathtaking! Master Sandro, your approach to Artificial Undead has opened up a completely new path for our Undead Mage Profession! From the effects shown in the projection, although the steps to cast the Magic are cumbersome, they can be performed during regular practice. Spending a few minutes to obtain a Skeleton that can be permanently enslaved is undoubtedly a bargain for Apprentice-level Undead Mages. Not to mention, with the successful case of Apprentice-level Skeletons, it will be a natural next step to develop Artificial Skeleton Warriors, Artificial Zombies, and even Artificial Ghosts!"

Master Sandro shook his head. "It’s not that simple, Fang Zhou. I don’t possess incredible talent like you. It took me several years of research just to develop the Apprentice-level Artificial Skeleton Skill. The next steps, the Black Iron-level Artificial Skeleton Warriors and Artificial Zombies, are still in development. With my own strength, I don’t know how long it will take to create them."

Then, Master Sandro added, "Furthermore, the Artificial Undead Skill still faces several significant issues that cannot be ignored.

"First, there is the problem of sourcing the raw material: corpses. We Blue Star humans, after all, belong to the Lawful Good Faction. While the crisis of racial extinction has made society relatively tolerant toward Negative Energy Professions like Undead Mages, Dark Warlocks, and Demon Hunters, the Human Alliance officials will never permit us to desecrate the remains of our fallen warriors. Such an act would violate the Spirit of our human race and the World Will of Blue Star.

"Therefore, the only source of corpses for creating Artificial Undead can be the bodies of Abyssal Demons and their subordinate demonic creatures taken from the battlefield. These corpses are often severely damaged after being defeated in battle, so we need to find a suitable method to repair them to facilitate casting the Magic. Moreover, we also have to consider how to ensure these Artificial Undead do not lose control after they become more powerful."

After hearing this, Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan gained a deeper understanding of the challenges this technology faced. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Although the prospects for Master Sandro’s Artificial Undead technology were bright, many practical difficulties still needed to be overcome before it could be truly widespread. The issue of sourcing corpses was especially critical, as it involved not only technical aspects but also ethical, moral, and social acceptance.

As Master Sandro had just said, Blue Star human civilization was a typical Lawful Good civilization. Especially in such a perilous time that demanded unity, any act that violated the dignity of the deceased was intolerable.

For Undead Mages, even in their desperate need for power, this respect and reverence could not be abandoned.

If one wished to create Artificial Undead, they had to collect Demon carcasses from the battlefield.

Fang Zhou would certainly not ignore this taboo.

After all, his entire foundation was rooted in Blue Star human civilization.

Subsequently, Master Sandro shifted the topic to more complex technical aspects.

"The second problem is the limit of the Enslavement Contract. To ensure an Undead Mage has absolute control over their creations, we must engrave a Contract into the Soul Fire of each Undead Creature. However, such a Contract is not without cost; it places a certain burden on the caster’s soul. This means there’s a limit to the number of Undead Creatures we can form a Contract with at any given stage. This limitation, in turn, restricts both the quantity and quality of the Undead Creatures we can create."

Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.

Though neither had personally experienced the process of creating Undead, they now had a preliminary understanding of the technology’s complexity and potential risks. Since the experienced Master Sandro had solemnly pointed out these problems, they knew that no matter how difficult, they had to face them and find solutions.

After a moment of silence, Master Sandro spoke again, his voice tinged with worry.

"The last problem, and the most challenging one, is how to properly accommodate these Artificial Undead. At present, there are only two ways to store the Apprentice-level Skeletons we create. We can choose to keep them with us, but doing so not only continuously consumes our Undead Mana to sustain them, but as their numbers increase, it also brings many inconveniences to our daily lives. When there are only a few Skeletons, we might still be able to conceal them."
