Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 559 - 393: Rare Dusk Robe, Summoning Massive Profits

This was especially true for equipnt damaged in combat, for which there was a complete recovery process to ensure no significant waste of resources.

If it was a human-made piece of Blue Fine quality equipnt, even if it were damaged in battle, a high-level Blacksmith would carefully study repair thods to ensure the waste was made useful. It was only as the auctioneer had just ntioned that this piece of equipnt for a Magic Professional ca from ruins excavated from an alien civilization, so there was currently no way to repair it. The construction and materials of this equipnt were vastly different from human craftsmanship, and current technology could not fully analyze and repair it.

"I wonder what the price of this damaged Magic Robe will be," the students below the stage discussed, their eyes filled with both curiosity and doubt.

The experienced female student deliberately did not announce the price imdiately, giving everyone ti to react. Seeing the crowd’s attention gradually focus on her, she smiled faintly and dropped a bombshell. "This damaged Magic Robe, although its current efficacy is not considered top-tier among Green Excellent Quality equipnt, has been appraised to be made of exceptionally fine materials. If there is a chance to fully repair it in the future, it could very well beco a piece of Blue Fine quality equipnt. This is an investnt with the potential for imnse returns. Therefore, its starting auction price is 2,000 contribution points."

A murmur erupted throughout the venue.

"2,000 contribution points? That’s so expensive! Exchanging for a full set for a Bronze Tier Professional from the academy’s logistics departnt only costs 1,000 contribution points," one student complained in a low voice, clearly feeling the price was too high.

"Are you kidding ? Even the academy hasn’t found a way to repair it. How could we students possibly manage to fix it?" another student said, shaking his head in doubt with a helpless tone.

"Exactly. No matter how good its forging materials are, without the corresponding forging thod, it’s just an empty promise," a nearby student echoed, clearly holding reservations about the Magic Robe’s practical value.

"Then again, this damaged Magic Robe seems to have undergone so superficial repairs. From its appearance, it looks incredibly cool."

"According to past practice, the auctions get more and more exciting as the days go on. I didn’t expect a piece of equipnt like this to be the finale on the first day..."

The auction house erupted in a flurry of discussion.

A burly Bronze Tier student stood in his box and asked, "Seeing is believing. I’d like to see for myself what’s so special about this robe you’ve praised to the heavens. What are its raw materials? May I touch this Magic Robe up close?"

"Yeah, yeah, let us have a look! We need to feel it with our own hands and see this alien civilization’s forging thods before we can make a decision," so other Bronze Tier students chid in.

Although there were many students present, the only ones who had both the will and the ans to purchase this damaged Magic Robe were a handful of elite, fourth-year Bronze Tier students. Even the auctioneer had to take their attitude seriously. After all, this was an internal auction at the Sea City Military Academy; there was no concern about soone harboring ill intentions.

The student auctioneer waved her hand, and several attendants gently lifted the display case holding the hanging, damaged Magic Robe and walked toward the VIP boxes above.

To dispel everyone’s doubts, the auctioneer diligently explained, "Its discoverer nad it the ’Dusk Robe.’ In addition to the strong Defense Power provided to Magic Professionals by robe-type equipnt and its own attached Dusk Shield, the special forging techniques of the alien civilization also grant this Dusk Robe two special effects."

She paused, glancing around to ensure every student was listening clearly, then continued, "The first effect is an extrely strong amplification of the Spirit Attribute. This is quite rare among Green Excellent Quality robe-type equipnt. I imagine all Magic Professionals would want an attribute amplification effect like this."

"The other effect is relatively niche, but it is exceptionally powerful for Summoning Professions. It provides a Dusk Buff to the wearer. When there are no enemies within a small range of the wearer, they enter the Dusk State. In the Dusk State, every allied Summoned Creature in the vicinity provides a slight spell effect enhancent to the wearer. Through experintation, we’ve found that the spell effect enhancent from the Dusk State can be increased by up to 20%."

Initially, the Dusk Robe had been just one of many auction items to Fang Zhou, not warranting any special attention. However, as the student auctioneer gave her detailed introduction, his interest in the equipnt suddenly surged.

Although the description of the Dusk State granted by the robe sounded complex, the concept was actually quite simple. As long as there were no enemies within a certain range, the wearer would receive a slight spell effect enhancent from their allied Summoned Creatures, up to a maximum of 20%.

This is a perfect match for , as if it were tailor-made.

Fang Zhou’s current physique and Power Attributes were very strong, far surpassing the average Black Iron-level Magic Professional. He also had survival Skills like Skeleton Flash and Skeleton Armor. Even so, Fang Zhou always stuck to his combat principle: avoid getting caught directly in the enemy’s midst.

What he pursued was a safer, more efficient combat style. He preferred to summon a massive Undead Army to overwhelm his enemies. anwhile, protected by these loyal Summoned Creatures, he could sit comfortably in the rear, leisurely casting spells and acting as the team’s Magic Cannon Platform. This combat mode perfectly matched the traits of the Dusk Robe, allowing its enhancent effects to reach their full potential in his hands.

Although a 20% increase in spell effects might not seem striking at first glance, in actual battle, this slight amplification was crucial. The increased power of each spell could be the key to turning the tide of battle. The accumulation of these small improvents would be enough to cause a qualitative change in the effect of every skill Fang Zhou released.

Taking stock of his current contribution points, Fang Zhou’s gaze grew focused. For most Bronze Tier Magic Professionals, the Dusk Robe’s appeal was likely limited. After all, the equipnt’s powerful effects could only be fully realized by those in Summoning Professions. And Summoning Professions only constituted a small fraction of the student body; they were not a mainstream choice.

This realization sparked a flicker of desire in Fang Zhou’s heart.

Maybe, with the thousands of contribution points I’ve saved, I can snatch this prize from the jaws of my Bronze Tier seniors.

But before that, I need to confirm up close whether the effects of this Dusk Robe are truly as formidable as the auctioneer claid and if it can perfectly integrate with my combat style.

At this mont, a group of Bronze Tier students interested in the Dusk Robe had already gathered around the rare treasure, repeatedly inspecting its material. Just as the auctioneer had said, they could only sense that the material’s Energy level was extrely high, but they could not determine its specific origin. As for the Dusk Robe’s forging thods, without dismantling it, they were at a complete loss and unable to make anything out.

Fang Zhou also pressed the button in his box and said to the auctioneer, "Please have the Dusk Robe sent to my box. I’d also like to inspect it carefully."

A short while later, an attendant carefully brought the Dusk Robe to Fang Zhou.

He first closely examined the equipnt’s appearance. The Dusk Robe was an overall deep, ink-black color, with fine, intricate patterns on the fabric’s surface. Silver-white trim was inlaid along the robe’s edges, emitting a faint luster under the soft lights, lending it an air of mystery and prestige.
