Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Ah… who’s talking…?”

A hoarse voice rang out in the quiet forest, startling Zhang Mengmeng, who quickly hid behind Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng had in fact noticed Natalie long ago, thanks to his Crimson Observing Eyes which could detect lifeforms within a 120 meter radius.

Moreover, having played games for many years, he’d seen it all, so a talking crow didn’t surprise him.

However, what he found strange was that he seemed to be able to communicate with this crow?

“Necromancer, Natalie?” Jiang Cheng tried transmitting a thought to the crow.

Natalie’s jet-black eyes moved and she gave Jiang Cheng a meaningful look. “Being able to understand the language of the dead, you’re clearly no common undead.”

As the words fell, under the gazes of Jiang Cheng and Zhang Mengmeng, the crow instantly transformed into a mass of black flames, gradually condensing into a mysterious woman dressed in black robes.

“This temple has been untrodden for a thousand years. Speak, why have you come?”

Natalie’s eyes narrowed as she gripped a black skull-topped staff in her hand, coldly staring at Zhang Mengmeng hiding behind Jiang Cheng.

Perhaps encouraged by Jiang Cheng’s presence, Zhang Mengmeng mustered up her courage and handed the letter to Natalie. “I’ve come to change to a special profession, look.”

“Change profession?” The corner of Natalie’s mouth curled into a somewhat self-mocking smile. “You wish to apprentice under a Necromancer, scorned by billions?”

“Uh…” Zhang Mengmeng was stunned by these words.

What did it mean to be scorned by billions?

“Hehe.” Natalie’s expression carried a tinge of sadness, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. But she didn’t say much more. “Go back, you can’t bear it.”

“Resurrecting the dead is inherently immoral. Necromancy is an impassable path. You truly cannot bear it.”

Zhang Mengmeng was taken aback, seemingly a bit discouraged. But after glancing at Jiang Cheng beside her, she suddenly made up her mind.

The opportunity to become stronger was right before her eyes. If she gave up after just a few words, Skeleton Big Brother would definitely look down on her.

She couldn’t forever be Skeleton Big Brother’s burden and disappoint him.

“No matter how difficult the road ahead, I’m willing to walk it. Please give me a chance!”

Natalie looked at her in surprise. “Necromancy is shunned by the world. You must think clearly – the price of power is ten thousand years of solitude.”

“I’ve thought it through.” A flash of determination crossed Zhang Mengmeng’s pretty face.

Ten thousand years of solitude sounded terrifying, but she had Skeleton Big Brother to accompany her forever.

Loneliness was not unfamiliar to her. From birth until now, she had endured plenty. She believed she could handle it.

“Heh, words alone are not enough. Wait until you pass my test before talking further.”

Natalie smiled gratifiedly and waved her black skull staff lightly.

Instantly, the entire temple was enveloped by a powerful darkness.

“Swish swish swish…”

From the weeds on the ground, over a thousand bony hands burst forth from the earth.

Immediately after, over a thousand skeletal undead climbed out from the ground.

“Clack clack clack…”

The thousand skeletons shattered simultaneously, instantly turning to powder and gathering towards the temple’s ceiling.

As time passed, the powder from the thousand skeletons gradually formed a hundred-meter-tall black giant skeleton.

In its hollow eye sockets burned two blossoms of black fire, black flames also rising from the skeleton’s surface.

Its hands gripped a great broadsword wreathed in black vapor, majestic and over ten meters long by rough estimate!

“This is Undead Fusion Art, able to freely fuse myriad undead. I call this fused skeleton the Skeleton Dragon General. Defeat it and you can become my disciple. Otherwise, leave at once.”

Zhang Mengmeng: “……”

With such powerful stats, wasn’t defeating it just a joke?

300 defense and 300,000 HP, she couldn’t make a dent even hitting it for half a year!

The undodgeable Shadow Strike made it so she couldn’t even escape.

“I’ll… try.”

Although she knew victory was impossible, she didn’t give up.

Moreover, she couldn’t let Jiang Cheng go to his death. This time, she had to do it herself.

“Lord of the Undead, sense the summoning of your servant, grant me the power of the dead!”

With a wave of her wooden staff, ten skeletal soldiers appeared before her, slowly advancing on the Skeleton Dragon General under her control.

“Whoosh!”

A flash of black light and the ten skeletons Zhang Mengmeng had just summoned directly turned to dust, flying onto the Skeleton Dragon General’s broadsword, lengthening its blade even further.

Zhang Mengmeng was dumbfounded.

Jiang Cheng on the other hand watched with sparkling eyes. If he could Plunder this kind of talent, wouldn’t it make gathering Bone Powder much more convenient in the future?

Moreover, this Undead Fusion Art was also incredibly powerful, able to fuse tens of thousands of skeletons together into a higher order being?

As expected, Necromancers were extraordinary!
