Translator: 549690339
In the Land of the Wraith, atop the Bone Throne.
Dean McKenzie was stunned by the system prompt that refreshed before his eyes.
He had not expected that the way to assign skills would actually be like this.
“Does this mean that as long as I have enough money and enough extraction points, given the right opportunity, I could upgrade normal skills into divine skills all at once?”
Realizing the actual way this rule works, Dean’s heart ached.
Without a doubt, under this rule, using this method of skill enhancement now would undoubtedly be a waste.
But what can he do now?
In the face of life and death, he had to waste it, even if it was indeed a waste!
Moreover, he had no choice but to waste at this moment.
As he arrived atop the Bone Throne, that elite monster had already caught up to him.
The 1.8 Agility of the opponent was not much for Doggy Three, who Dean had just sent away, but for Dean, it was still fast.
“With the Power of Death, forge the indestructible shield!”
Confronting the oppressive elite monster, Dean chanted the Bone Shield spell without hesitation.
Voom!
A 30cm x 100cm bone shield appeared in front of Dean, accurately blocking the elite monster’s attack.
Under normal circumstances, the Bone Shield activated by Dean’s 4.1 Spirit had a Defense as high as 6.125, which was quite easy to sustain an ordinary elite monster with a Strength of 2.5.
But it could only resist temporarily.
Because he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long!
The elite monster struck again, and the Bone Shield’s Defense wavered heavily.
One more strike, and the Bone Shield would fail.
But by this time, the elite monster’s fist was already clenched again.
The worst part was, this clenched fist had a brief pause, obviously accumulating energy for the next move.
It was clearly preparing to use a skill, Dean dared not delay, he threw out the talent he was gripping.
[You have used your talent and started to enhance the Bone Shield!]
[You consume 4 Silver Coins, assigning all remaining extraction points to the Bone Shield!]
The 4 Silver Coins were consumed, and the Bone Shield that was on the verge of collapse lit up in front of Dean.
At the same time, the light ignited on the Bone Shield, the elite monster activated the Skeleton Heavy Strike skill and slammed its fist heavily onto the shining Bone Shield.
The attack of this punch reached 10 points.
It was horrifying.
The original Bone Shield definitely couldn’t withstand it.
But the enhanced Bone Shield could resist this hit, quite easily.
Obviously, Dean took advantage of the skill upgrade bug. Well, it can’t be called a bug since Dean paid the price for it.
[Your skill enhancement status is interfered, you need to pay 1 Silver Coin for repair!]
“Here you go!”
Dean, who was usually stingy, was quite generous at this moment.
“Donate 5000!”
While he grandly threw out 5 Silver Coins, the Bone Fang that he had been chanting earlier was finally ready and shot out.
“Thud!”
The Bone Fang hit the eye socket of the elite monster precisely.
The power of this attack reached 4.5, more than twice as powerful as when Dean was at level 1 dealing with corpses.
But the damage that could instantly kill corpses before cannot instantly kill the elite monster in front of him now.
Although the eye socket was a vulnerable point for this skeleton, and its Defense was slightly lower, it was not that easy to pierce through.
The Bone Fang stuck into the thin bone behind the eye socket, but couldn’t pierce through the defense, and this enraged the elite monster.
This elite monster instantly became furious.
Another Skeleton Heavy Strike came out. This attack seemed to be full of resentment, and the power felt even more terrifying than the last one.
But unfortunately, it met Dean who was hacking the game.
The blow was once again blocked by the Bone Shield, causing no harm to Dean McKenzie.
On the contrary, it gave Dean McKenzie a chance, and another Bone Fang was again shot at the eye of his opponent.
Two consecutive hits the second hit already caused damage to the Elite Monster.
Although the Elite Monster of this map seemed a little intelligent, they were not many.
It didn’t even know what fear meant; it only knew anger.
Activating the skill for the third time, with an intent to shatter the Bone Shield in front of him and smash Dean McKenzie to pieces.
Then, the third Bone Fang from Dean McKenzie hit its eye socket.
“Puch’s!” the Elite Monster in front of Dean McKenzie finally collapsed weakly to the ground.
[You successfully killed the “Bone Hardening Skeleton Warrior”(Level 7)(Elite), and gained 80 Experience Points!]
[You used Talent Extraction on the Bone Hardening Skeleton Warrior. As you are currently under the enhanced status of the Bone Shield, please choose your extraction direction:
Currently available: Defense Intensity, Endurance]
[You have chosen Defense Intensity, successfully extracted 1 point of Defense, and used 1 Silver Coin to merge into the Bone Shield skill! ]
[You successfully extracted Elite Template Fragments (Bone Hardening), do you want to merge this fragment into the Bone Shield skill?
This merge requires the use of 20 Silver Coins!]
The system prompts were constantly refreshing, but Dean McKenzie had no time to look at all.
Because at this time, the stage was already filled with skeletons.
Looking at the gradually dense skeletons in front of him, and then at Doggy Two who probably needed another minute to complete the upgrade behind him.
Dean McKenzie took a deep breath.
“It’s a bit clumsy, but it’s not hopeless.
For this minute, I, Dean McKenzie, will hold on.”
Dean McKenzie gritted his teeth, drank two more Mana Potions, held a Life Potion in his hand, and summoned another skeleton.
Then, a fierce battle broke out.
Even though Dean McKenzie had a skill enhancement BUG, the use of the BUG also came with a price, the Bone Shield could not rotate at this time and could only defend an area of 0.3 square meters.
The rest was up to Dean McKenzie to defend.
The difficulty was considerable.
Even though Dean McKenzie could multitask and control the skeletons with expertise, holding on for one minute still came at a great cost.
He had several wounds on his body.
The worst one was an arrow stuck in his chest, which almost cost him his life.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie had two Life Potions, which helped him to survive and barely hold on for a minute.
Just as that one minute was about to end, the intense offensive of the skeletons suddenly withdrew.
Dean McKenzie, whose pressure had greatly reduced, didn’t have time to feel relieved before his face changed.
He saw four different looking skeletons coming over.
Without a doubt, these were Elite Monsters, and four of them all at once.
They were clearly intending to kill Dean McKenzie.
Although only a few seconds were left until the minute was up, Dean McKenzie had no confidence in facing the four Elite Monsters in front of him, even if Doggy Two successfully advanced, he wasn’t sure they could win, or if he could protect Dean McKenzie.
But whether Dean McKenzie had confidence or not, he inevitably faced it.
After a stalemate for a moment, the four Elite Skeletons started charging at the Bone Throne at the same time.
The skeletons behind them also followed closely, in a grand and terrifying manner.
But under such circumstances, Dean McKenzie wasn’t scared.
“Damn it, come on then, I’m Dean McKenzie, the fearless Dean McKenzie!”
Dean McKenzie, covered in blood, roared at the incoming skeletons. At this moment, Dean McKenzie, drained of his Mana, held only his Magic Wand, preparing to fight them bare-handed.
At this moment, Doggy Two stood up behind him!
Simultaneously, the Bone Crown that had appeared above Doggy Two’s head and the Bone Throne behind him lit up together, and a wave of invisible power spread out.
In an instant, all the imposing skeletons in front of Dean McKenzie knelt down, as if they were subjects worshiping their king.
Meanwhile, before Dean McKenzie’s eyes, the system notification was furiously refreshing…
