Chapter 15: Humanoid Killing Weapons
A fierce battle ended silently.
Although the intelligence of low-level undead creatures is not high, they can also see the strength of both the enemy and the enemy.
After the ghouls were gone, Locke picked up a dozen broken bones that he had fallen to the ground.
After picking up these broken bones of his own, fearing that a more powerful ghoul would appear, Locke immediately left the battlefield.
"It's finally back to normal. Dozens of minutes later, Locke stroked the bones on his body that had been repaired again, and said secretly in his heart.
Running the bone alchemy, in just a few minutes, these bone essences that had been quenched by the bone alchemy were re-transformed into bones and integrated into Locke's bone frame.
After his body recovered, Locke did not leave the place, pulled the bone frame around him, and immediately began to meditate on the spot.
Although at this time Locke did not find a safe cave to hide. However, Locke has a high level of intelligence, so naturally he will not easily expose himself to danger.
The reason why Locke stopped here to meditate was also because he was sure enough that he would not encounter other undead creatures for a short time. Moreover, Locke's soul fire had previously crossed over and devoured several soul fires, and he also needed to meditate immediately.
The place where Locke is located is a slope where many skeletons are piled up, hidden among these white bones, Locke is naturally not worried about being discovered by other low-level undead creatures. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a mid-level undead creature, you can only blame Locke for being too unlucky.
In meditation, the fire of Locke's soul is constantly refined. The illusion of impulsiveness to advance disappeared without a trace after Locke began to meditate.
Time is constantly slipping, and undead creatures don't care about the passage of time.
Days passed, and the meditative skeleton mage Locke ripped open the bones covering him and stood.
After meditating, the soul fire in Locke's skull resembled a pale flame and became more pure.
This time, Locke was promoted to a second-level skeleton mage, and his soul fire was more than ten times more powerful than when he was a first-level skeleton.
"This time, the soul fire has increased a lot, and it is time to go back and try to continue refining the mysterious stone tablet. Sensing the power of his soul fire, Locke thought secretly in his heart.
Locke was not far from the cave where he once lived. After all, Locke had not left the territory of the bone dragon lord Gregory, and the cave was in his domain.
When Locke was about to leave here and go to the cave stele, he saw the pile of bones in front of him, and suddenly his thoughts changed and he postponed leaving.
Because, there are so many bones here, Locke has not yet probed. It would be a pity if you missed out on the strong and hard bones because you were in a hurry to leave.
With bone alchemy in your body, you can quickly improve your strength if you get strong bones.
However, after some searching, Locke was a little disappointed. Among this pile of bones, the strongest bone that Locke found was only about the same strength as the bone on his body, that is, the skeleton of the fourth-level skeleton warrior.
The soul sensed the bones, and Locke suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a new idea.
It turned out that Locke remembered the scene when he fought many ghouls before.
During the battle with many ghouls, Locke's arm was broken, and the bones of his upper body were broken quite a bit. However, Locke's leg bones also endured many ghoul attacks, but he was not injured and fractured.
Although there are reasons why these ghouls did not hit Locke's bone joints, the most important thing is that Locke's leg bones are thicker than Locke's arm bones and the chest and back bones of his upper body, even if a third-level ghoul does not hit the joint vital point, it cannot damage Locke's leg bones.
In the flash of the soul fire, Locke thought that if he used bone alchemy to shape himself, making his arm bones, chest and back thighs thicker, and breaking it like that, his combat power would also increase.
Moreover, in a flash of inspiration, Locke also thought of more, and in many places on his body, including leg bones, skeleton claws, and other places, he could use bone alchemy to shape and maximize his combat power.
Locke then thought about how to shape and reshape his skeleton.
After a while, Locke also looked forward to the new body he had so dramatically.
With a plan in mind, Locke immediately set about collecting the hard bones in the pile.
In less than ten minutes, all the hard bones comparable to Locke's body in the pile of bones were placed in front of Locke.
Immediately, Locke immediately activated the bone alchemy, and a small pile of hard bones began to dissolve continuously under the effect of bone alchemy, turning into a liquid-like bone essence.
Most of the day passed, and the pile of hard bones in front of Locke all disappeared, turning into bone essence the size of a skull.
Immediately, these bone essences began to merge into Locke's pair of bone arms, and Locke's bone arms were also thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, Locke's arm bones were as thick as his leg bones.
At this time, the bone essence refined by Locke had only consumed one-fifth of the amount.
Of course, the changes in Locke's bone arm are not over. After the thickness of the bone arm reached Locke's expectations, the bone essence continued to flow to Locke's arms.
A row of sharp bone spurs began to appear on the outside of each of Locke's pair of bony arms.
And the bone spurs on Locke's body are not only in the arms, but also on the two leg bones of Locke, clusters of smaller and denser sharp bone spurs have also appeared.
After remodeling his legs and bones, the excess bone essence was all integrated into Locke's upper body bones, and his thoracic back bones and vertebrae were thickened. Of course, although Locke's sternal backbone has thickened a bit, the number of sternoscopic bones has been reduced by Locke's transformation and reshaping.
After the bone essence was consumed, Locke also became more sharp, from a skeleton mage to a skeleton warrior in hand-to-hand combat.
The thickened thoracic and dorsal bones and thickened arm bones make Locke's body bones more difficult to break, enhancing Locke's defenses, and making Locke not afraid of being attacked by his peers when fighting.
And the bone spurs in the leg valley and the arm bones also strengthened Locke's aggressiveness.
Locke's legs have a strong attack ability because of the presence of bone spurs.
With a bone spur on his arm bone, Locke was able to counterattack the opponent at the same time when he was attacked by other powerful beings. As long as Locke can block the opponent, the opponent is likely to be injured by the presence of bone spurs.
Of course, at this time, because Locke lacked more bone essence, the transformation of the bone frame was not thorough, but even so, Locke's combat power has also increased a lot.
Locke guessed that with his modified body, even in the face of a fourth-level skeleton warrior, he would have the strength to fight, and he might even be able to win the battle.
At this time, the attack of the third-level ghoul could hardly hurt Locke at this time if it could not hit Locke's joints.
"I didn't expect this time there would be such a windfall. Feeling how strong he was at this time, Locke was overjoyed.
Locke consciously gestured, and immediately left the place, rushing towards the place where the cave stone was.
Although more bone essence has been incorporated, making Locke's body heavier, affecting Locke's speed and dexterity, Locke's defense and strength have been enhanced, especially defense, which makes up for his own weaknesses. In Locke's view, the slightest deficiency is harmless.
Following the spiritual connection with the stele, in a few days, Locke arrived at the small cave where he had stayed for hundreds of years.
When he left the cave, Locke was a small skeleton. When he returned to the cave again, Locke's size had returned to his normal size as a skeleton warrior, and the short entrance to the cave was no longer what Locke could get into at this time.
