[Skill: Legion’s Protection]
[Cooldown: 10 minutes]
[Mana Cost: 80]
[Effect: Summon 10 enhanced skeletons to aid in battle. The skeletons’ attributes are 70% of the player’s current attributes!]
This was a signature skill for a Necromancer.
Although its cooldown was the same as the ordinary Summon Skeleton skill—a lengthy ten minutes—it could summon ten skeletons at once!
Moreover, these were enhanced skeletons.
Skeletons, the most commonly used and familiar summoned companions for a Necromancer, were more convenient and had a higher usage frequency than creatures like the Ancient Golem. They could inherit a portion of the Necromancer’s own attributes.
The higher the Necromancer’s attributes, the more powerful the skeletons became!
After all, not every Necromancer was willing to use their skeletons for Corpse Explosion. The cooldown was too long; they’d only use Corpse Explosion to finish off monsters.
Although Corpse Explosion damage was high, using it directly would leave a vulnerable gap period.
However, this limitation didn’t apply to Lu Ran—his skills had no cooldown!
Summoning ten at once versus summoning only two was a fundamental difference!
Of course, what this skill brought Lu Ran wasn’t just faster summoning.
The simultaneously unlocked Trait was what Lu Ran valued most!
[Trait: Universe Within the Sleeve]
[Effect: Possess a storage space capable of holding a large number of summoned creatures. As a reserve, you can perform mass summoning from or storage into this space at any time!]
It was precisely this Trait that thrilled Lu Ran immensely.
With a thought, he attempted to open the storage space.
Sure enough!
The next moment, a vast, independent plane appeared in Lu Ran’s perception.
This plane contained nothing; it was merely an empty, void-like platform.
At a rough glance, it was at least 50,000 square meters!
Calculating based on each skeleton occupying 0.5 square meters, if this space were entirely used for skeletons, it could hold one hundred thousand!
Of course, each skeleton didn’t actually need that much room. They could be packed tightly together, easily doubling that number.
That would be two hundred thousand skeletons!
As long as Lu Ran filled this space, he would be carrying two hundred thousand skeletons with him at all times!
He could unleash them anywhere, anytime, for indiscriminate Corpse Explosions in an area—a true, devastating bombardment!
He no longer even needed to summon an Ancient Golem every time to block damage. These two hundred thousand skeletons in the storage space were Lu Ran’s lives!
An endless supply of lives!
No damage could possibly inflict such a high amount in one go!
No one could kill Lu Ran anymore!
Furthermore, Lu Ran now also had Spirit Wings, allowing him to fly and summon hundreds of thousands of Spirit race troops to aid in battle anytime, anywhere!
Combined with the two hundred thousand skeletons.
Invincible!
Beside him, Liu Xinxin noticed Lu Ran’s excited expression and was somewhat puzzled.
But sensing that Lu Ran had leveled up past 35, she immediately understood.
Lu Ran had unlocked new Traits and skills!
“The Necromancer’s level 25 skill should be Legion’s Protection. Although the name sounds impressive, it only increases the number of skeletons summoned at once to ten. It’s still quite useful for Lu Ran,” Liu Xinxin murmured as she analyzed.
But even so, at Lu Ran’s level, the difference between summoning ten at once versus two at once wasn’t particularly significant, was it?
It just meant faster Corpse Explosions.
Yet Lu Ran seemed so excited, indicating it wasn’t the Legion’s Protection skill that thrilled him.
It was the newly unlocked Trait!
However, there was no reference for this. Even Liu Xinxin, proficient in all sorts of data, couldn’t guess what the new Trait was.
She could only ask Lu Ran later.
As for Lu Ran, he was still calculating continuously.
Bored just sitting there, he began endlessly tossing skeletons into that space.
Legion’s Protection with no cooldown could summon and store ten skeletons at a time, which was quite fast.
If Lu Ran focused solely on using the Legion’s Protection skill without interspersing other skills, he could use it at least ten times in one second!
That was equivalent to summoning one hundred skeletons per second!
By Lu Ran’s estimate, filling it with one hundred thousand skeletons would take about two hours.
Two hundred thousand would be about four hours.
He needed to use the Legion’s Protection skill continuously at this frequency until the Universe Within the Sleeve storage space was full!
The process was rather tedious.
But Lu Ran eagerly anticipated the result once it was full.
Carrying two hundred thousand skeletons with him at all times—that feeling would be incredibly reassuring!
By then, he wouldn’t even need the Treasure Gourd anymore.
After all, the Treasure Gourd could only hold one creature, which really wasn’t enough.
Previously, Lu Ran had to preemptively summon an Ancient Golem to guard against any potential mishaps.
But now it was different.
Carrying two hundred thousand skeletons with him, he could have them absorb damage for him anytime, anywhere!
Of course, this was only Lu Ran’s current intended use.
In Lu Ran’s plan, this space was ultimately meant for storing Abyssal Bone Dragons!
At least a thousand Abyssal Bone Dragons!
When that time came, with a casual wave of his hand, releasing a thousand Abyssal Bone Dragons would be nothing short of apocalyptic!
The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more excited he became, almost laughing out loud on the spot.
Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself; otherwise, he might have looked like a complete fool.
Not long after, matters with the Spirit race were concluded.
Lu Ran and Liu Xinxin left the Spirit territory and returned to Blackfire City.
Accompanying Lu Ran back was the Dark Spirit Queen, Si Luoluo.
This wasn’t even Lu Ran’s command; Si Luoluo proactively chose to follow Lu Ran to serve as protection.
Having bathed in the aura of the World Tree, her transformed bloodline could be maintained for at least seven days. Every seven days, Si Luoluo could return to the Spirit territory to bathe again, ensuring the continuation of her bloodline transformation.
The rest of the time, she could follow Lu Ran!
Lu Ran was, of course, delighted.
The other three guild leaders were naturally pleased too.
After all, she was a level 100 BOSS!
At this stage, with just the Dark Spirit Queen alone, Lu Ran could look down upon the entire world!
In Lu Ran’s mansion.
The group gathered in the courtyard, looking at Si Luoluo before them.
The three guild leaders were uncharacteristically nervous.
After all, she was the level 100 Dark Spirit Queen. If she decided to attack, needless to say Liu Xinxin and Ye Hongyi, even Lei Tai, the Earth Knight, would be instantly annihilated!
No exaggeration!
“Oh, Lu Ran, we all know about the new skill now. What’s the Trait? I saw you grinning like an idiot for ages back in the Spirit territory,” Liu Xinxin couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.
“Hey, hey, wait! I’m not familiar with Necromancers. I want to know what the new skill is too,” Lei Tai quickly chimed in.
But as soon as he spoke, he cautiously glanced at Si Luoluo again.
Lu Ran, however, was direct.
He simply shared his skill panel and Trait panel directly with the party.
Actions spoke louder than words.
Seeing it for themselves would be the most mind-blowing!
