Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 544 - 386: Legion Campaign, Bronze Foes, Grand Trade Fair!

In short, all the skeletons Fang Zhou had hunted before, regardless of their tier, were little more than farmed crops. In the human world, these skeletons were akin to bandits and outlaws, existing to be periodically reaped. From now on, the skeletons Fang Zhou had to hunt belonged to the regular army under the command of the Skeleton Lord!

Unless I’m willing to spend a huge amount of time avoiding the Skeleton Legion’s patrols and reaping parties, searching bit by bit through the vast hills for lone Skeleton Warriors, I will inevitably have to confront these Skeleton Legions under the Skeleton Lord’s command!

An unprecedented sense of urgency surged within Fang Zhou.

Based on my experience, the first to shatter the racial barrier and advance to the Bronze tier is certain to receive another unprecedented Blood Moon Blessing. In this race, this Skeleton Lord is the greatest obstacle on my path of growth and evolution. It must be eliminated! Hunting the Skeleton Legions under the Skeleton Lord is my best option! Fortunately, these Skeleton Centurions and Skeleton Chiliarchs, catalytically produced by the Skeleton Lord, may be completely subservient to it, but they are not like Tidamia or Verus—Skeleton Warriors who mutated through their own power. Not only is their strength lacking, but their intelligence is also greatly inferior. The territory this Skeleton Lord commands still has plenty of loopholes for me to exploit.

Having made his decision, Fang Zhou took his skeleton minions—whose numbers had dwindled to just a few dozen after the great battle—and restored them to full strength using the bones scattered across the ground. Using his Skeleton Monarch skills, he reassembled the surrounding skeletal remains, restoring their numbers. Then, with unstoppable momentum, he slew and devoured the entire massive group of skeletons before him.

It had to be said that as long as one’s strength was sufficient, the gathering of these Skeleton Warriors merely served to greatly increase Fang Zhou’s hunting efficiency, rather than pose any real obstruction. Fang Zhou was overjoyed as he watched his Three-dimensional Attributes and Soul Power reserves skyrocket.

After finishing the absorption, he led his increasingly powerful skeleton servants forward, continuing the sweep. Relying on the high-altitude reconnaissance from Bruce the Skeleton Bat, Fang Zhou held complete strategic initiative.

Soon, with a tremor of his Soul Fire, he found a suitable target.

CRACK. CRACK.

Fang Zhou appeared near a Sea of Skulls, leading his skeleton servants. This Skeleton Battle Group was even stronger than the last. A Skeleton Chiliarch and five Skeleton Centurions commanded a Skeleton Legion numbering over five hundred strong. Among them were familiar foes like Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers. This Skeleton Legion was stronger than the one Fang Zhou had previously encountered!

Of course, "strong" is a relative term. It applies to ordinary Skeleton Warriors, but not to me.

When Fang Zhou appeared before this Skeleton Legion, the opposing Skeleton Chiliarch didn’t even wait for an order. It immediately commanded its Sea of Skulls to assault him. The law of survival in the Corpse Hills was simple: reap and devour any skeleton that was not your own. For this Skeleton Chiliarch, any skeleton not belonging to the Skeleton Lord was within its harvesting and hunting range!

The Sea of Skulls, hundreds strong, surged forward in a massive wave. The Skeleton Warriors formed the vanguard under the command of the Skeleton Centurions, while the Skeleton Archers formed the rear, personally commanded by the Skeleton Chiliarch. Such a formation was already a basic tactical prototype, quite commendable for skeletons of limited intelligence. When facing other skeletons, it was naturally invincible.

But against me... it seems rather inadequate!

When the vast Sea of Skulls closed to just over a hundred meters away, Fang Zhou gave the order. Nearly a hundred of his skeleton minions, led by Olaf, Tidamia, Sain, and the others, charged toward the enemy horde! He himself led the charge, plunging into the Sea of Skulls at a speed far exceeding his minions!

BOOM!

A cold light flashed!

He didn’t even use any skills. With his current Power Attribute of 100, his massive 3.5-meter-tall frame, and his 5-meter-long Corpse Long Spear, a mere ordinary attack was more than these ordinary Skeleton Warriors could withstand! When the Corpse Long Spear swung in an arc, all skeletons within its range were instantly shattered, turning into a cloud of flying bones! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Every swing of Fang Zhou’s spear was like the scythe of the Death God, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Skeleton Warriors. His movements were swift and precise, with every strike hitting a vital point and shattering them into fragments. His surrounding skeleton minions were equally undaunted. Led by the Mutated Skeletons, they displayed immense combat prowess and coordination, swiftly breaking through the enemy’s defensive line.

After blasting a gap in the Sea of Skulls, Fang Zhou leaped. His powerful skeletal body erupted with force, carrying him over ten meters in a single bound as he assaulted the Skeleton Chiliarch in the center of the horde! His Shield and rapid movement caused the dense volley of arrows to miss their mark, landing harmlessly to the side. Oncoming swords were also easily blocked. By the time his skeleton minions had just begun to clash with the Sea of Skulls, Fang Zhou had already cut across the battlefield to stand directly before the Skeleton Chiliarch
