Chapter 240 - 142: Frenzy Rune
With nothing better to do, Li Ziyu opened the introductions for the four new troop types.
[Frenzy·Skeleton Ox Demon]
[Introduction: A Minotaur-form Undead that can enter a Frenzy. These guys are stronger than other Skeleton Undead, but when they go berserk, they act recklessly and frequently injure their allies. If you need to send them onto the battlefield, it is recommended to deploy them alone.]
[Requirements: Demonized Minotaur Skeleton x2 units, Mutated Soul Energy x60 units, Soul Energy x50 units]
Li Ziyu’s lip twitched as he read the introduction. The description for the Dark·Skeleton Ox Demon had been perfectly normal, but with the Frenzy·Skeleton Ox Demon, the system had reverted to its usual irreverent style.
He took another look at the requirements; they were the same as the Dark·Skeleton Ox Demon’s. ’I just wonder which one is stronger on the battlefield, the Dark·Skeleton Ox Demon or the Frenzy·Skeleton Ox Demon.’
[Frenzied Skeleton]
[Introduction: A dangerous being with a few screws loose. They can wreak havoc, slaughtering their way from allied ranks to the enemy’s, and then all the way back. It’s worth noting that as long as they don’t die, they grow stronger the more they fight. They are, in essence, mindless fighting machines born for battle.]
[Requirements: Demonized Skeleton x1 unit, Mutated Soul Energy x30 units, Soul Energy x500 units]
Tsk, tsk. Compared to the Dark Magic Energy Rune, the system was practically labeling the Frenzy Magic Energy Rune as the ’idiot’ rune. Whether it was the Frenzy·Skeleton Ox Demon or the Frenzied Skeleton, they both gave off a sense of being completely brain-dead.
’Look at the Dark Skeleton’s description—it was so serious, even reminding me to be careful. But the description for the Frenzied Skeleton is just one big roast. Nothing but mockery!’
’Hmph, mock it all you want. I’ll just summon a Frenzied Skeleton and see what it’s like. The requirements are the same as a Dark Skeleton’s, so summoning one shouldn’t be a problem.’
[Dark Skeleton Beast]
[Introduction: A Skeleton Undead in beast form. They possess the ability to hide in the Darkness. *The Traits of different Wild Beasts will be enhanced.]
[Requirements: Demonized Beast Skeleton x1 unit, Mutated Soul Energy x10 units, Soul Energy x10 units]
[Frenzied Skeleton Beast]
[Introduction: A Skeleton Undead in beast form. They possess the ability to enter a Frenzy, after which they fight mindlessly. *Note: If they use Frenzy too often or for too long, they may permanently lose their sanity.]
[Requirements: Demonized Beast Skeleton x1 unit, Mutated Soul Energy x10 units, Soul Energy x10 units]
Compared to the Ox Demons and Tattooed Skeletons, the Skeleton Beasts seemed laughably weak, though their requirements were also very low.
Now that he had new troop types, Li Ziyu’s hands were itching to try them out. He wouldn’t feel right until he created a few.
The Ox Demons were out of the question, as they required Demonized Minotaur Skeletons, and he didn’t have any. But he could certainly create the others.
’First, I’ll create a Frenzied Skeleton to see what it’s really like and how it differs from a Dark Skeleton.’
After issuing the command, Li Ziyu looked toward the Alien Tomb with anticipation. Unlike other Undead Species, the units from the Alien Tomb were summoned extremely quickly.
In just a few moments, a commotion stirred within the Alien Tomb. A furious roar echoed out, followed by a figure leaping from the grave.
’Wait, a roar?’
Li Ziyu’s eyes widened in sudden realization. ’Is that... a Soul Roar?’
’An Undead just unleashed a Soul Roar?!’
’Damn, this thing is fierce. A true reckless brute with a screw loose, just as described.’
The furious Soul Roar startled every living soul in the Undead Fortress. Once they recovered from the initial shock, they couldn’t help but run outside to see the commotion.
Startled as they were, everyone living in the Undead Fortress knew that under the City Lord’s rule, the Undead would not harm people indiscriminately. Since they were safe, what was there to fear? On the other hand, a chance to watch the show was something that absolutely could not be missed. It seems that no matter the world, there’s never a shortage of curious onlookers.
