Jiang Hao then had time to check the attributes of the summoned creature he had just acquired.
Skeleton Spirit Master
Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items
Quality: Bronze-level Elite
Level: 11
life:
Spell Power: 3038
Physical defense: 42
Speed: 109
Skill: Soul Impact: Unleashes a soul-based impact on the target, dealing 120% of spell power as damage and interrupting the target's current action once. Skill cooldown: 5 seconds.
"Oh no, I was careless."
Having not paid attention to the boss's class and skills, Jiang Hao felt it was a waste to revive this boss. If he couldn't use its powerful talent, what use was it?
However, since it has already been resurrected, let's keep it for now and find an opportunity to replace it later.
Let's move on to the next summon.
[Skull Overseer]
Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items
Quality: Bronze-level Elite
Level: 11
life:
Physical attack: 3218
Physical defense: 453
Speed: 124
Skills: None
Well, although it doesn't have any skills, its attributes are indeed explosive, especially its health, attack, and defense, all of which exceeded Jiang Hao's expectations.
[Skull Foreman]
Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items
Quality: Bronze-level Elite
Level: 12
life:
Physical attack: 3822
Physical defense: 546
Speed: 161
Skills: None
Wow, awesome!
Each of the three summoned creatures was more powerful than the last. What pleased Jiang Hao most was that these three bronze-level summoned creatures were many times stronger than the skeleton deer he had summoned before!
If all the bosses in Nightmare Mode were resurrected as their own summons, the difficulty of the next dungeon, Howling Shadows, would be greatly reduced.
Jiang Hao checked his backpack. Among the newly dropped equipment, only one breastplate was usable, so he swapped out the deerskin coat and equipped the [Overseer's Breastplate]. His health jumped from 2810 to 3440, feeling quite pleased with himself.
With all equipment in place, Jiang Hao led his summoned creatures past the mining area and into the smelting and forging area.
Jiang Hao saw some miners busy pouring ore from wheelbarrows into the blazing furnace; some smelters busily pouring molten gold into various molds; and some blacksmiths busy hammering and shaping the formed gold. Everything was so orderly.
Jiang Hao even felt a sense of harmony and peace. If only those various clothes in front of him didn't conceal pale skeletons.
After defeating over 200 more elite black iron monsters and a level 13 bronze blacksmith boss, Jiang Hao finally arrived at the high platform where the giant cannon was parked.
Seeing that colossal 20-meter-tall cannon again, Jiang Hao still felt a surge of excitement. The giant cannon, like a monstrous beast, lay dormant in the very center of the platform. Its golden barrel gleamed, and Jiang Hao had no doubt about its power.
"If we fire a shot at the newbie village, it will probably be wiped off the map."
Cyrio circled around behind the cannon, and to Jiang Hao's surprise, the boss was also a skeleton. Lacking flesh and blood, his wide black robe was much larger, resembling a bed sheet casually draped over his body. Without his white beard, Jiang Hao even found the appearance somewhat comical.
However, there was still no health bar above the skeleton Sirio's head, and Jiang Hao stood at a distance waiting for him to speak.
“You Shreen’s lackeys, you actually managed to find your way here.”
"But what can we do?"
"The Sky-Shattering Cannon is complete. Today, let us witness the destruction of Jinling City together!"
After saying this, the figure of Skeleton Sirio vanished instantly. Then Jiang Hao saw over a dozen Black Iron-level skeletons suddenly emerge from the platform. These skeletons had exceptionally long arm bones, and all of them were hunched over, their arms almost touching the ground.
Jiang Hao quickly cast a detection spell on one of the skeletons.
The Corpse Eater
Iron-level elite
Faction: Undead
Level: 14
life:
Physical attack: 1785
Physical defense: 311
Speed: 76
Skill: Corpse Devourer: Devours an enemy of equal or higher level than the user. Can be upgraded once.
Bite: Deals damage equal to 120% of attack power to the target and restores health equal to 80% of the damage dealt.
"Damn, isn't the Corpse Eater skill a bit too much of a game balance issue?"
Jiang Hao complained, unaware that he had already disrupted the game's balance.
Having found no target, the dozen or so cannibals began to wander back and forth on the platform.
I wonder if these cannibals are Cirio's summons or something he transformed into?
In normal mode, the boss is a class similar to an assassin. His skills do not include summoning, nor does he transform.
Jiang Hao wondered if the boss's skills had changed after the mode was altered.
If he could revive these ghouls, wouldn't that mean he would have an army of summoned creatures that could be upgraded?
Jiang Hao made up his mind and raised the staff in his hand.
One ghoul was pulled under the staff by his talent, while the other ghouls were oblivious and continued to wander aimlessly on the platform.
-
A white damage indicator appeared above the ghoul's head beneath the staff. The ghoul's health bar instantly emptied, and its body became limp, about to collapse. However, due to the forced stun effect of its talent, its head seemed to be held in mid-air, swaying and bobbing with the stars above. Only after the stun wore off did it finally fall to the ground.
"Player detected defeating an elite monster of equal or higher level. Talent effect enhanced, damage increased by 100 points. Current stun duration 2.86 seconds, true damage points."
In the nightmare-level dungeon, Jiang Hao had already cleared out several hundred elite monsters, and the damage from his talent was now vastly different from before.
Jiang Hao was already used to this scene.
He used the Resurrection skill on the fallen ghoul. A moment later, a ghostly blue soul fire ignited in the ghoul's head as it rose again. Jiang Hao instantly realized he could control it. Meanwhile, the skeleton of the Skeleton Turtle King lay scattered on the ground, finally withdrawing from Jiang Hao's army of summoned creatures. Jiang Hao quickly checked his newly acquired summons.
Skeleton Ghoul
Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items
Level: 14
life:
Physical attack: 2321
Physical defense: 405
Speed: 99
Skill: Corpse Devourer: Devours an enemy of equal or higher level than the user. Can be upgraded once.
Bite: Deals damage equal to 120% of attack power to the target and restores health equal to 80% of the damage dealt.
The Corpse Devouring skill has been perfectly preserved.
Jiang Hao raised his staff towards another ghoul in the distance.
After the ghoul died, Jiang Hao commanded the skeleton ghoul to activate its skill: Corpse Devour. It grabbed scattered bones from the ground and stuffed them into its empty mouth, crunching them to pieces. Jiang Hao watched closely but couldn't find where the bone fragments ended up. Moments later, the entire skeleton was consumed. The skeleton ghoul flashed with a gray light, and Jiang Hao saw that its level had increased to 15.
Jiang Hao quickly checked its detailed attributes.
Skeleton Ghoul
Faction: Necromancer Summoned Items
Level: 15
life:
Physical attack: 2486
Physical defense: 434
Speed: 104
Skill: Corpse Devourer: Devours an enemy of equal or higher level than the user. Can be upgraded once.
Bite: Deals damage equal to 120% of attack power to the target and restores health equal to 80% of the damage dealt.
"Holy crap, it actually worked!"
The attribute boost from each upgrade was significant, and Jiang Hao was extremely excited.
"One day, the Skeleton Ghoul will be the most powerful."
