Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 597 - 412: First Undead Mount, Corpse Clone Evolutio
The most likely scenario was that Skeleton Squad No. 1 had discovered the hidden Mutated Skeletons, ones that the Skeleton Lord’s Skeleton Battle Group had yet to find. That would explain why his skeletal minions were perishing in such large numbers in a short period of ti.
With a thought, Fang Zhou quickly switched his perspective, focusing his attention on Long Spear No. 1, the sole survivor of Skeleton Squad No. 1.
Gazing into the distance, he saw a massive Skull Warhorse galloping among a pile of bones. A single, extraordinarily sharp horn grew from its head, glinting with a black light. Each ti it stabbed out, several Skeletons were corroded by its deathly aura and collapsed, lifeless. This Mutated Skeleton Warhorse’s Attack Power and speed far surpassed ordinary Skeletons, making it a clearly dangerous opponent.
This discovery delighted Fang Zhou.
He imdiately relinquished control of Long Spear No. 1 and ordered the nearby Skeleton Servants to delay the frenzied Mutated Skeleton Warhorse as best they could. Then, he imdiately rose to his feet and hurried at top speed toward the Mutated Skeleton Warhorse’s location.
The growth in his Four-dinsional Attributes made Fang Zhou faster than ever before. It took Fang Zhou less than ten minutes to get from his previous location to where the Skeleton Warhorse had appeared. During this ti, to prevent the Skeleton Warhorse from leaving and losing its trail, Fang Zhou specifically ordered the Skeleton Servants on the battlefield to hold their ground as long as possible.
Naturally, the goal was not to kill this Skeleton Warhorse, but to buy enough ti for him to arrive. The Skeleton Warhorse also needed to consu Skeleton Essence and hunt Skeletons to grow. As long as there were Skeletons to hunt on the battlefield, the Skeleton Warhorse was unlikely to leave.
Thus, when Fang Zhou arrived on the battlefield, he saw the creature still galloping fiercely, charging across the field and continuously killing Skeletons.
This Skull Warhorse was very tall, considerably taller than the mounts used by the Knights from Sea City Military Academy. As a type of Mutated Skeleton, the Skull Warhorse had no flesh on its body. However, its bones were extrely thick. As its four hooves galloped, faint wisps of black mist swirled out, making this Skull Warhorse appear even more formidable and majestic than a living warhorse.
As he drew near the Skeleton Warhorse and perceived the finer details of its form, Fang Zhou imdiately sensed that its aura was far stronger than that of the ordinary Skeleton Warhorses he himself could summon. This was a Mutated Skeleton Warhorse that had also reached the peak of the Black Iron Upper Tier. Whether in the robustness of its Soul Fire, the massive and solid fra of its body, or even its combat intelligence on the battlefield, it far surpassed others of its kind.
Fang Zhou charged to the edge of the battlefield, watching with great interest as the Skeleton Warhorse continued to rampage, recklessly trampling his Skeleton Servants.
Within the Skeleton Race’s advancent chain, there was no such thing as a Skeleton Knight. This was why Fang Zhou had been unable to find a suitable Undead Creature to serve as an assault-type Unit at the Black Iron Tier.
Now that Fang Zhou was on the battlefield, he relied on his terrifying combat power, which crushed all other Undead of the sa level. He naturally regarded this rare Mutated Skeleton Warhorse as a prize he was destined to claim. Coincidentally, the Skeleton Warhorse’s size was a perfect match for his own burly, three-ter-tall fra.
I wonder if I can beco a Skeleton Knight after enslaving this Skeleton Warhorse?
Fang Zhou quickly assessed the situation on the battlefield. He ordered the surrounding Skeleton Servants to continue pinning down the Skeleton Warhorse as he slowly approached.
He did not hide his aura.
The formidable aura he faintly emitted, far exceeding that of ordinary Skeleton Servants, imdiately caught the Skeleton Warhorse’s attention. To Fang Zhou’s surprise, upon spotting him, the Skeleton Warhorse did not flee. Instead, it turned and charged right at him!
Wisps of black fog swirled and circulated across the Skeleton Warhorse’s body, rging its Death Energy and skeletal fra into a single, cohesive whole. Empowered by this fusion, the Skeleton Warhorse burst through the chaotic formation of Skeleton Servants with unstoppable montum! Along its path, any Skeleton that stood in the way was sent flying by its powerful charge, landing far in the distance.
Fang Zhou had his eyes on the Skeleton Warhorse, and likewise, the Skeleton Warhorse had its eyes on Fang Zhou. The difference was that Fang Zhou valued the Skeleton Warhorse’s rarity and strength, intending to enslave it as his mount. The Skeleton Warhorse, on the other hand, coveted the Skeleton Essence that Fang Zhou represented.
Charge! Just as it was about to leave the pile of skeletal remains, the Skeleton Warhorse let out a silent screech from its soul. As it screeched, the Skeleton Warhorse’s aura swelled dramatically. Its speed doubled in that instant!
The lone warhorse charged toward him at incredible speed. When it was just a dozen ters from Fang Zhou, the Skeleton Warhorse lowered its head, presenting its long horn. Black light flickered from its tip. When only four or five ters separated them, the horn—which looked sharp enough to pierce a city wall—shot toward Fang Zhou’s head with unstoppable montum!
BOOM!
A heavy impact echoed. As the Skeleton Warhorse charged, its horn aid straight for him, Fang Zhou neither dodged nor evaded. He didn’t even draw the Corpse Long Spear from his back, simply standing his ground. Only when the horn was just over a ter from his skull did Fang Zhou finally move.
His feet, encased in pitch-black armor, were planted firmly on the ground. Then, one hand, also sheathed in Hand Armor, shot up like lightning and seized the incoming horn!
This was a Skeleton Warhorse in a full Charge! One could only imagine the imnse force contained within that sharp horn. And yet, despite that imnse force, Fang Zhou firmly caught the stabbing horn. A sharp, grating sound, like a knife scraping across glass, filled the air. Sparks flew as the powerful horn ground against Fang Zhou’s Hand Armor.
The entire force of the Skeleton Warhorse’s charge seed concentrated in its horn as it tried to push forward and pierce Fang Zhou’s eye socket. Yet, held in Fang Zhou’s simple grip, the horn remained motionless, no matter how desperately the Skeleton Warhorse struggled.
Leaving only two deep footprints in the earth, Fang Zhou had effortlessly used his own strength to bring a charging Skeleton Warhorse to a dead stop. In that instant, Fang Zhou’s aura reached its peak.
Then... a violent strength of 100 points erupted from Fang Zhou’s body.
He grasped the black horn with both hands and gave it a trendous pull—
BOOM!
The massive Skeleton Warhorse was lifted into the air by Fang Zhou, swung in a full circle, and slamd violently onto the ground. Dust scattered everywhere as the ground trembled. The Skeleton Warhorse lay on the ground, montarily unable to move.
Perhaps even it had not anticipated that Fang Zhou would counter its charge in such a manner. It was even harder for it to imagine that this Undead of an indistinguishable race, also at the Black Iron Upper Tier, could possess such terrifying strength and physical might.
A silent soul screech spread out as large chunks of broken bone fell from its body.
Fang Zhou had not gone for the kill. Otherwise, with his current strength and the sharpness of the Corpse Long Spear, a single strike would have been enough to shatter the Skeleton Warhorse’s skull. However, as a rare Mutated Skeleton coveted by Fang Zhou, this Skeleton Warhorse with its boundless potential was destined to beco his mount.
Even while pinned to the ground by Fang Zhou’s imnse strength, the Skeleton Warhorse still struggled desperately, trying to regain control of its horn and plunge it into Fang Zhou’s body.
However, for the Skeleton Race, Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Monarch skill, granted by the Blood Moon Blessing, held supre dominion. He didn’t need to cripple the Skeleton Warhorse or even render it completely helpless.
All he needed... was a continuous input of Soul Will!
