Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 23
After thinking about it, Bruce realized the situation was indeed very serious.
But from another perspective, it seemed like the elite skeletons only had basic intelligence.
The warrior-ranked skeletons were far from being as intelligent as humans.
There were still a lot of loopholes for Bruce to exploit in the skeleton kingdom, which was under the command of the Skeleton King.
Under such circumstances, Bruce brought his only nine skeleton underlings and appeared near a sea of skeletons.
This was a full skeleton army.
An elite rank skeleton warlord, including ten advanced rank skeleton warlords, brought the number of the entire skeleton army to as many as five hundred.
Among them, there was no lack of skeleton mages, skeleton guards, skeleton archers, and so on. Bruce had never seen an army that huge.
It was more powerful than all the other armies he had seen before.
Of course, the powerful armies had ordinary elite skeletons.
Their leader knew that Bruce was not an ordinary skeleton and not one of them.
Without Bruce giving the order to attack, the skeleton general on the opposite side brought the skeleton sea under his command and attacked Bruce instead.
Reaping and devouring skeletons that did not belong to their own side was the rule of survival in the boneyard.
To this skeleton general, anyone who did not belong to the skeleton king could be hunted and devoured.
Hundreds of skeleton soldiers attacked in large numbers.
The skeleton soldiers blocked the front, led by the skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and skeleton mages at the back, led by the skeleton general. It was such a powerfully executed formation.
But when facing Bruce, it seemed as though they were still a little lacking.
The vast sea of skeletons attacked. When the distance between the two was only a hundred meters, Bruce gave the order, and his nine skeleton underlings, led by the elite skeleton swordsmen, rushed towards the sea of skeletons.
He himself rushed in front, and with a speed faster than the skeleton underlings, he charged into the sea of skeletons.
Ring slash!
A burst of blinding light flashed.
He did not use any skills.
However, with Bruce’s strength attribute of 94, coupled with his two-meter-long skeleton broadsword, normal attacks were not something that these skeleton soldiers and Skeleton Warriors, who were only at the basic or advanced level, could withstand.
When the skeleton broadsword slashed out in a ring, all the skeletons within the attack range of the skeleton broadsword, regardless of whether they were skeleton soldiers or skeleton warriors, were all blasted apart.
They turned into flying skeletons in the sky.
After doing all of this and creating a gap in the sea of skeletons, Bruce leaped up, and his powerful skeleton body erupted. He directly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and attacked the skeleton general in the center of the sea of skeletons!
The rain of arrows came, but Bruce ignored it.
The fireball came, but Bruce easily dodged it.
When the nine skeleton underlings under him came into contact with the sea of skeletons, Bruce had already appeared in front of the skeleton general!
The skeleton broadsword slashed out again.
Under the suppression of the powerful four-dimensional attributes, the skeleton general, who had already reached the elite tier, did not even have time to resist before its head was smashed into pieces by the skeleton broadsword.
—
“You have killed the skeleton general!”
“You have obtained 100 experience points.”
“You have obtained the class advancement information of elite class template—skeleton general.”
—
After killing the skeleton general with lightning speed, Bruce took a look at the attributes panel, and his heart sank.
He had not gained any Omni points.
Could it be that his speculation was wrong? The 5 Omni points he obtained were not from killing elite-ranked monsters.
He did not have the time to think about it. The moment he killed the skeleton general, he slashed out with his bone blade again, beheading the two skeleton mages and skeleton guards beside the skeleton general.
He disabled them, but he did not kill them.
After the skeleton mages and skeleton guards lost their combat ability, he beheaded the skeleton archers in the skeleton army, and they were unable to resist.
After doing all this, he began to enslave the precious advanced skeletons.
When the skeleton generals died, the skeleton army became a pile of loose sand. A portion of the skeleton soldiers were still under the control of the skeleton warriors, while the other portion of the skeleton soldiers became scattered soldiers.
When Bruce’s skeleton warrior underlings charged into the sea of skeletons, they instinctively seized control of the skeleton soldiers that had lost their superior. In an instant, the number of skeleton underlings on Bruce’s side increased to nearly a hundred!
Ignoring the war between the skeleton soldiers and the skeleton army, Bruce began to enslave the advanced skeletons after completing the task.
It took Bruce just a few minutes to enslave an advanced skeleton. Perhaps it was because he was stronger than all of them. In just a few minutes, he had already enslaved all the advanced skeletons in the skeleton army, turning the entire skeleton army into his own subordinates. From the beginning of the war to the end, he had spent only ten minutes.
Besides more than a hundred skeletons that had died in the war, the remaining three hundred skeletons had been enslaved by Bruce or his skeleton warriors, becoming part of Bruce’s strength.
After doing all this, he did not stop.
He brought his subordinates, which had already expanded to more than three hundred skeletons, and rushed towards another direction.
There, they met another skeleton army.
The elite skeletons already had basic intelligence.
This meant that they already had their own memories.
Their memories allowed them to understand and remember directions, routes taken, and the orders they receive from the higher-level skeletons.
After defeating the first skeleton army, Bruce obtained the other skeleton army’s patrol routes from the skeleton general’s memory, and he rushed off to hunt them down.
There were no accidents.
With the strength Bruce had acquired so far, he was not yet as strong as warrior-level skeletons, although crushing elite-level skeletons was very simple to him.
Two days passed quickly.
Relying on the information he obtained from the memories of the skeleton generals, Bruce killed a total of eight elite-level skeleton generals.
Just by devouring the skeleton legion led by these eight skeleton generals, the number of skeleton underlings under Bruce’s command increased explosively, directly exceeding 1,000.
This was the result of him deliberately holding back.
If he had enslaved them without any restrictions, the number of skeleton underlings under his command would have doubled!
Around this time, Bruce stopped his long-distance assault because his true enemy had already arrived.
