Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

These unique Tomb Undead, endowed with various Undead Race talents, are the most powerful fighting force under Fang Zhou.

In the Tomb Laboratory, Fang Zhou checked the unit compendium of the Tomb Undead and nodded in satisfaction.

His current research focus is temporarily on the foundational unit buildings of the Vampire race.

After a period of analysis and deduction, he’s finally formed a blueprint design for the building.

For Fang Zhou now, as long as he successfully designs the blueprint, mobilizing his Tomb Undead Army to construct the corresponding unit building is a piece of cake.

Standing in the center of the Tomb Territory, Fang Zhou plunged his Blood Spirit Long Spear into the ground, releasing a dazzling blood light from his entire body.

The Blood Moon in the sky seemed to be called upon, casting a crimson beam of light that shrouded the entire territory.

The power of the Undead Blood Moon was fully activated at that moment, and with the earth trembling, countless bones emerged from the soil, automatically assembling into the building’s foundation.

"With blood as the vow, with bones as the foundation."

Fang Zhou chanted softly, and Undead Runes in the void fell like meteors.

Cracks appeared on the ground, and black magma surged from below, solidifying into blocks of obsidian bricks.

Leblanc directed the skeletal craftsmen to inlay various undead resources into the foundation.

These bricks automatically arranged and combined, gradually forming the outline of a Gothic building.

This building is the Vampire production edifice designed by Fang Zhou— the Ghost Mansion.

This Gothic spire is constructed entirely from an interweaving of obsidian and pale bones.

A Blood Moon Crystal, three meters in diameter, floats atop the tower, continuously emitting a dark red glow.

The lancet windows are cast with molten Spirit Essence, inlaid with blood-colored glass.

The Blood Moon projects a totem of a vampire bat onto the ground.

Crack, crack.

After the Ghost Mansion was completed, a large amount of resource investment quickly resulted in the birth of the first Vampire.

This is a Silver Upper Rank Vampire, its eyes flashing with a demonic red light, fangs sharp as knives, its entire being exuding a suffocating aura of death.

Looking at this Tomb Vampire, Fang Zhou smiled and said, "From today onwards, your name is Vladimir, and you shall be my competent assistant."

"At your command, my lord!"

Vladimir knelt on one knee, showing absolute submission to Fang Zhou.

Subsequently, Fang Zhou produced the first batch of two other Silver Upper Rank Vampires.

After a brief study, Fang Zhou waved his hand, instructing the Vampire leader Vladimir to lead the other Vampires to the Tomb Military Academy for basic war command training.

Then, he proceeded to the Tomb Research Room, observing the diligent research efforts of the Undead Mage Soul Bodies and Blood Spirit Mages.

With the Blood Spirit Lord Clone’s power advancing to Silver Upper Rank, his mastery and development of the Undead Blood Moon’s authority have become increasingly formidable.

When engaging in soul communication with Undead Mage Apostles through the Meditation Link, Fang Zhou could create a more realistic Soul Perception for those apostles whose strength was far inferior to his own.

After numerous experiments, he felt confident enough to elevate the permission to open the Personal Undead Space to Bronze Level Undead Mages.

This increase in the number of Undead Mage Soul Body laborers joining his Soul Laboratory significantly boosted the research efficiency of the Tomb Territory.

The top priority in Fang Zhou’s clone’s hands now lies in two research projects.

First is the synthesis of Undead Attribute resources.

Second is the study of the Undead Battle Array.

Regarding resource synthesis, Fang Zhou’s Tomb Alchemy Laboratory can now synthesize Bronze-level Undead Attribute resources.

However, Bronze-level Undead Attribute treasures like [Nether Soil Crystal], [Ghostly Cloud Moss], and [Yin Soul Spirit Sand] have more complex internal energy structures and material compositions.

Attempting to synthesize these treasures from the Undead Realm’s matter and energy via the Undead Blood Moon’s authority remains quite challenging.

Nonetheless, through the successful synthesis of other resources, Fang Zhou has confirmed that his current direction is correct.

All that remains is for his soul research laborers to work overtime for hundreds or thousands of hours, conducting more synthesis experiments to eventually explore the correct synthesis method.

Once he can synthesize Bronze-level Undead Attribute treasures, Fang Zhou can begin synthesizing the Silver-level resources he most needs.

Setting aside the four Silver-level treasures he most requires—Heart of the Nether River, Flower of Soul Ash, Blood Moon Stone, and Evil Spirit Puree—even synthesizing some materials for crafting Silver-level Artificial Undead would be enough to delight Fang Zhou.

After all, the limitation on expanding the scale of his main body’s Artificial Undead Legion, besides the rare Silver-level creature corpses, is the scarcity of these Undead Attribute resources.

Of course, the benefits from the synthesis of Undead Attribute resources are not exclusive to the Undead Mage’s body.

These resources, which can be synthesized in large quantities, are also a substantial fortune for the Blood Spirit Lord Clone and his Tomb Undead Army.

Enhancing Four-dimensional Attributes, strengthening equipment effects, crafting equipment for lower-level undead, increasing racial Combat Power Coefficient.......

Undead Attribute resources encompass all kinds of marvelous uses.

In the long run, this is the key to the continuous growth of the Tomb Undead Army’s power.

In the Tomb Laboratory, Fang Zhou turned his attention to another research area.

This area researches the composition and construction of the Undead Battle Array.

After various explorations, Fang Zhou finally decided to combine the research topics of the Undead Battle Array and unit enchantment.

In fact, earlier research already identified some feasible directions for enchanting Tomb Undead units.

However, after multiple tests, Fang Zhou realized the cost of enchanting the Tomb Undead units alone was too high and not worth large-scale implementation.

But now, with the inspiration from the Undead Battle Array contributed by the Undead Mage Apprentice Yang Yuxin, Fang Zhou has a new idea.

The Undead Battle Array is essentially a type of Living Array.

By forming a battle array, reinforcing clusters of undead units on different scales is actually a form of unit enchantment.

Moreover, this Array Enchantment requires only the cooperation and unified actions of different Undead Creatures, without needing other expensive enchantment materials.

Perhaps for armies comprised of living beings, achieving uniform action among different entities is extremely difficult.

Only elite troops with extensive training might achieve it.

But in the Wasteland of Strife, you can achieve this synchronized uniformity by randomly pulling a company under a Centurion from any Undead Lord’s territory.

With a basic approach in place, Fang Zhou immediately assigned this research topic to the Blood Spirit Mage leader Karsas.

After extensive experiments, there is now hope for some success.

.......

Looking at the phalanx of 100 Apprentice-level skeletons before him, Fang Zhou nodded slightly.

This [Phalanx] is the most basic type of Undead Battle Array, with an enchantment effect of slightly augmenting the defense power of friendly Undead Creatures within the phalanx.

Crack.

With a command from the Skeleton Centurion, the neatly ordered skeleton phalanx collectively turned left and marched five steps.

Throughout this process, the phalanx effect remained intact.

The soul flame of Karsas, the head of the Undead Battle Array project, exuded a spirit of elation.

Turning to Fang Zhou, he said, "My lord, after thousands of adjustments, this concept has finally succeeded.

Of course, it probably will require a long time to perfect for practical use."

Fang Zhou nodded, giving a thought of encouragement.

"Very good, very good, Karsas.

No need to rush, take your time perfecting it.

Your approach is excellent, starting with the weakest Apprentice-level skeletons to deduce from.

First, find the correct direction of thought, then build upon it.

I believe it won’t be long before our strong Blood Spirit Legion can also utilize the Array Enchantment you developed.

By then, the overall combat power of our Tomb Undead Legion will undergo a qualitative leap."

"All for my lord."

Karsas bowed his head in salute.
