Chapter 253 Skill Changes, Coronation and Honors
As five phantoms gradually took shape under the power of [Vampiric Soul], the undead corpse summoned by [Tombstone] entered a state of full aggression.
Abandon all defenses and directly attack the opponent's vital soul fire. No matter whether you hit it or not, one of them will die.
And every time an undead completely lost its strength and got up again, a weak ball of flexible fire would be attracted to the five phantoms around Mo Cheng, and then be swallowed and absorbed.
As they absorbed the soul fire, the five phantoms actually became more solid.
As the undead bodies killed, more and more soul fires were attracted and devoured. The whole scene was like a meteor shower from the sky, with soul fires constantly falling towards Mo Cheng, forming several light bands composed of soul fires.
How many undead are there here?
Mo Cheng didn't know, but when he jumped onto the [tombstone] and stood on a high place, what he saw were densely packed undead spirits swarming over like ants.
And the place where he was, which was suspected to be the inside of a military camp.
Yes, the barracks of the undead army, skeletons that do not know fear and death, banshees holding whips, ghosts floating in the air, the assembled fear knights, corpse wizards chanting arcane spells, and constructed gargoyles circling in the sky.
Just seeing this lineup, Mo Cheng was too lazy to calculate the numbers. He decided to find an opportunity to run away while the [Tombstone] was still lasting.
Even he couldn't handle this amount of people.
The tactics of the Sea of Undead were extremely simple and crude, but very effective. Mo Cheng himself did not dare to guarantee that he could escape alive if he was surrounded by the Sea of Undead.
Now, thanks to the [Tombstone] and the surprise attack inside the military camp, they were caught off guard. Once the power of the [Tombstone] is exhausted, Mo Cheng will have to face the endless army of undead on his own.
Soon, the surrounding dead spirits were killed by the undead corpses, and the troops that had begun to gather did not foolishly run up to carry out the tactics of adding fuel. Instead, they dispersed to block the surrounding escape space and silently observed the effective range of the towering tombstone.
They have already figured out how [Tombstone] works, and are gradually testing the limits of this skill.
Perhaps there will be a lot of losses during the experiment, but it doesn’t matter to the dead undead. Death is just the beginning of another rebirth.
Just when Mo Cheng wanted to order the undead corpses to charge towards a certain place and create a gap in the encirclement so that he could escape, a whirlwind suddenly rose up under the tombstone.
Looking down, the five phantoms had absorbed enough soul fire and had now become solid entities.
But when Mo Cheng saw the five entities clearly, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Skeleton soldiers? What can five skeleton soldiers do?"
Summoned by [Bloodsucking Soul], which absorbed countless soul fires to form entities, turned out to be just five skeleton soldiers. Although Mo Cheng had expected what [Bloodsucking Soul] would summon, he was inevitably disappointed when he saw it now.
However, when these five skeleton soldiers were completely formed, the entire undead camp, including the completely irrational undead corpses summoned by the [Tombstone], actually paused for a second at this moment.
The five skeletons looked at Mo Cheng. Through their empty eye sockets, they could directly see the soul fire in their skulls. However, their next actions surprised Mo Cheng.
The skeleton soldiers, who were supposed to have no intelligence and only the undead's incomplete instinct to kill living beings, actually knelt on one knee in front of Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng frowned at the unknown strange behavior. When he was surrounded, his skills had inexplicable deviations, which was undoubtedly very frustrating.
However, a wave of thought came, which surprised Mo Cheng. The consciousness conveyed by the five skeletons in front of him actually wanted him to be [crowned].
"Coronation? What kind of cosplay is this? I don't even have a crown... Wait, I think I have one."
The consciousness of the five skeletons and the skill [Bloodsucking Soul] also conveyed some information. Mo Cheng suddenly remembered that he had obtained the helmet that the lich Dom had worn before.
Taking the helmet out of the backpack, the [Vampire Soul] started to operate spontaneously, and the power of death changed and transformed the helmet into a brand new dark gold crown that had no connection with the previous one.
There are seven corners and ten stars on the crown. If you look at the crown frontally, you can find that there is a dragon head under the corners and stars. The shape of the entire crown is like a giant dragon with seven heads and ten horns.
Even though Mo Cheng was not familiar with religion, he could still tell the name of the dragon.
"The great red dragon, Satan?"
He didn't know why the skill had such a deviation, but Mo Cheng didn't feel any danger and didn't need to be urged. He put the dark gold crown directly on his head.
As if receiving some kind of guidance, or as if he had a bad taste in this situation, Mo Cheng condensed a long sword that was a blend of thunder and fire in his hand.
Walking up to the skeletons that were already kneeling on their knees, Mo Cheng gently struck a skeleton on the shoulders with the blade of his sword, "You will be my shield."
It was not a standard awarding ceremony, but when the illusory sword in Mo Cheng's hand was placed on the skeleton's raised hands, the first skeleton underwent a drastic change.
The bones thickened and grew larger, forming an armor-like appearance. The sword of thunder and fire merged into the bones, and its arms became a shield and a sword respectively.
" You will be my sword."
As the second skeleton was awarded the medal, his body began to stretch and grow larger. The sword turned into a spear, and countless bones rose up behind him and spontaneously connected to form a skeleton warhorse.
"You will be my rod."
The third skeleton did not have any obvious changes in size, but the sword he was awarded turned into a staff as tall as a person, and the soul fire of the mage skeleton burned even more fiercely, like a bonfire.
"You will be my bow."
The fourth skeleton integrated the sword he was awarded into the bones of his left hand, which began to deform from his left forearm to form a huge bone bow. An extra cavity appeared in his right hand, from which he could pull out arrows at any time.
"And you..."
When facing the fifth skeleton, Mo Cheng paused. He couldn't remember what other types of soldiers a legion would need for a while, but he had to continue, so he let himself go.
"You will be my sheepdog, herding the lambs."
As Mo Cheng's voice fell, the fifth skeleton's entire body shook violently, and the change that occurred was not only the most drastic among all the skeletons, but also the biggest.
His whole body was ablaze with thunder and flames, manifestations of Mo Cheng's power. He was wearing a dark golden priest robe, a pointed, triple papal crown, and a cranked scepter in his hand.
