Chapter 1099 Elemental Skeleton
Tang Shaoyang listened to Skelly1 attentively, and Skelly1 was extremely zealous in the prospect of the army they would create.
"How do we want to start? Do you want me to summon all the new skeletons right now?"
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [No, Master. Before Master summons the skeletons, can you make two new siblings for us? We need two generals to lead the army, the archer and the scout. We may have a mage skeleton army for our range attack, but what if we face an enemy that has an anti-magic artifact? We still need the archer for that scenario. Information is everything on the battlefield, so scouts are very important in the army. We don't need a legion of scouts, but we need a few scout teams. We initially have Skelly6 to lead the scout and assassination team, but he has advanced into a berserker-type skeleton.]
'Can you just nurture someone capable from the skeletons I summon?' Tang Shaoyang wanted to say that, but he kept that for himself after seeing his soul list once more. He had four Grade SS Souls, using that to make the new siblings for them. The grade of the soul determined the evolution the skeleton had for the future. Among the Skelly Family, Kaiser was surprisingly summoned by the lowest-grade souls.
He recalled that he used Grade S Souls for Keeper and Skelly7, causing the two to have a unique advancement than the others. However, from what Keeper mentioned about Skelly7, the Bonemancer was an even rarer advancement than the Gunslinger. That was also why Skelly1 did not propose making an army of Gunslinger skeletons because it was a rare advancement. Unless he had a lot of Grade S Souls, he might not be able to create the Gunslinger army.
Skelly1 up to Skelly6 was summoned using Grade A Souls, and Kaiser was summoned using Grade B Souls. If he used Grade SS Souls for the new siblings, he could make other unique skeletons like Keeper and Skelly7. The idea piqued his interest.
'I need five souls to summon one skeleton, but I only have four Grade SS Souls. I have to mix it with Grade S Souls.' Tang Shaoyang thought of mixing two Grade SS Souls and three Grade S Souls for one skeleton, but an idea crossed his mind. 'Wait…. It required five souls to summon one skeleton, but what if I use ten souls or even twenty souls? Will it summon multiple skeletons, or will it summon a super skeleton?'
He checked the number of his Grade S Souls. 'I have fifty-two Grade S Souls. What will happen if I use two Grade SS Souls and twenty-six Grade S Souls?' The idea of summoning a super skeleton made him excited, and he tried it. He used two Grade SS Souls and twenty-six Grade S Souls to activate [Necromastery].
Tang Shaoyang did it without noticing anyone around him, and the effect of summoning caught everyone off guard. The ground in front of Tang Shaoyang split open, and the entire area shook. Black smoke came out of the splitting ground, then a black skeleton reached the surface, climbing up from the hole.
This one was different from the current Skelly Family. The black frame made the difference obvious, and another thing that made it look different was the frame kept releasing black smoke. Another thing that made it special, the newly summoned skeleton already had orbs in its socket and chest. The black skeleton looked around for a moment, then it locked its gaze on Tang Shaoyang.
The ground shook once more as the splitting ground closed up, and then the black skeleton absorbed the black smoke. The black skeleton approached Tang Shaoyang and knelt once he was three meters away from Tang Shaoyang.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [I greet the Great Master who has bestowed me a new life!]
At the same time, Tang Shaoyang heard the notification in his head.
[You have summoned Elemental Skeleton, [Misty Skeleton]!]
Tang Shaoyang glanced at Skelly1 to see the reaction, but he quickly realized how stupid he was to see Skelly1's reaction. It was a skeleton, so he would not be able to see the reaction.
"From now on, your name is Skelly8, and you are part of the Skelly Family!" He gave Misty Skeleton a name. The name was what made the Skelly Family more special than the skeleton army he would summon soon.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [Skelly8 thanks Great Master for giving this lowly subordinate a name.]
Looking at Skelly8, his theory was right that using more than five souls would summon a better skeleton. There was no doubt that Skelly8 was more advanced than the first nine skeletons he summoned. Not only would it come with a better evolution, but it was also summoned as a better version of the skeleton from the start.
Tang Shaoyang told Skelly8 to move aside as he wanted to summon one more skeleton. The same phenomenon happened as the ground shook and split once more. However, instead of black smoke, the cold air gushed out of the splitting ground. The skeleton made of crystalline ice climbed up from the hole. After sensing who summoned him, the Ice Skeleton came and knelt toward Tang Shaoyang. It was the same exact manner as the Skelly8.
[You have summoned Elemental Skeleton, [Frost Skeleton]!]
"From now on, your name is Skelly9, and you are part of the Skelly Family!"
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [Skelly9 thanks, Great Master, for giving me a name. Skelly9 is eternally grateful for your blessing.]
'Huh!?' Tang Shaoyang thought he was just hearing things, but it was clear right now that Skelly9's voice was a girl's voice. He could not tell earlier because the voice was vague, but it became clearer after he gave the Ice Skeleton a name. 'Does a skeleton also have a gender?' He shook his head at the question.
After two successive summons, Skelly1 approached Tang Shaoyang.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [This is great. You have summoned Elemental Skeleton, a better version of us. Skelly8 is perfect to lead the scout team, and Skelly9 is also fit to be the leader of our archer legion. Skelly1 thanks, Master, for granting my wish for new siblings.]
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [Big Brother Kaiser will help Skelly8 to achieve the desired level and Big Brother Kaiser will help Skelly9.]
"But wait…. We have a big issue. I don't remember the choice I made for Skelly6." Tang Shaoyang then realized he did not remember what he chose for Skelly6 to advance to Killer Skeleton. The Archer Skeleton was easier because he just needed to choose the class advancement that gave him an option for Archer Skeleton, but it was different for Killer Skeleton.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [Don't worry, Master. Master just needs to convey your will to them, and they will do their best to achieve the result you desire. If you want Skelly9 to be a skilled archer and general, she will do her best and achieve the best result for you. Remember, Master. As long as you allow us to, we can choose our advancement by ourselves, so you don't need to worry about the advancement.]
The Earl Skeleton assured Tang Shaoyang, which was followed by Skelly8 and Skelly9.
