Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 3 The Holy Body of the Innate Necromancer

After some consideration, Fangzhou first used his free access to redeem a copy of the [Skull Meditation Method].

For another skill, he needs to assess the situation of his clones before making a decision.

After clicking confirm, the [Skeleton Meditation] skill book was quickly transferred to Ark's personal terminal.

"Identity confirmed, skill data transmission in progress..."

Then, a projection appeared in front of Ark, showing a tall young woman repeatedly demonstrating the [Skull Meditation Method].

Beside her was a visualization of a skull, depicting the pathways of spiritual energy.

These images, through special mental magic skills, can be preserved for a month so that the learner will not forget them, achieving a state of photographic memory.

A month is enough time for new students to get started.

Imagine yourself as a skeleton, feeling the touch of death in a wasteland strewn with bones...

Being able to visualize a complete skull signifies successful entry into the practice.

Meditation is very mentally taxing; if you can get the hang of it within seven days, it means you have the talent.

The shorter the time, the stronger the talent.

Good luck to those who come after!

Fangzhou browsed through the contents of the meditation method and was eager to try it out.

He sat cross-legged, his eyes fixed on the skull image in the meditation, and tried to visualize it.

Soon, the skeleton grew larger and larger in his eyes.

When the skeletons filled the entire ark's field of vision, he subconsciously closed his eyes and, for the first time, clearly perceived the existence of the spiritual world.

According to the method of meditation, he had to try to condense his spiritual power into a skeleton, a process that would be very difficult and would usually take several days of effort.

Even the most talented senior had to spend a whole day just to get the hang of it.

But then, Fangzhou discovered that things were a little different.

His mental power was so strong that he could clearly visualize a lifelike skeleton in less than half an hour.

"Successfully learned the skill [Skull Meditation]!"

Fang Zhou opened his eyes and rubbed his temples: "It was that simple?"

Looking at the attribute panel again, the [Skills] section now included the [Skeleton Meditation Technique].

【Skeleton Meditation Method】(Apprentice Level, Beginner): A basic meditation method for necromancers, which can slowly increase mental attributes by visualizing skeletons.

"My talent is really this high? Could it be that I have an innate necromancer's divine body?"

However, Fangzhou frowned, feeling that the skull he was visualizing in his mind was very out of place.

It seems that skeletons shouldn't look like this.

Fangzhou was somewhat puzzled. The [Skeleton Meditation Method] was a mature meditation method that the necromancer predecessors had painstakingly comprehended. Logically, there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Suddenly, Fang Zhou glanced at his skeletal clone and a flash of inspiration struck him.

With a ready-made reference right in front of us, why bother looking for something far away?

No one in this world understands skulls better than me!

Fangzhou immediately closed his eyes and focused his attention on the skeleton clone.

......

An unknown place infinitely far from the human world.

The soul fire of a small skeleton suddenly burned several times brighter.

Fangzhou cautiously surveyed its surroundings.

This was a desolate wilderness, the sky overcast and shrouded in a hazy mist.

Above the thick clouds, an ominous blood moon can occasionally be seen.

The land was desolate and barren, devoid of any sign of life. As far as the eye could see, all the ark could see were countless scattered skeletons.

Is this the Land of the Dead?

He then checked the attribute panel of his clone—

[Clone] Skeleton

【Level】Apprentice·Lower rank

[Attributes] Strength 1, Constitution 1, Agility 1, Spirit 1

[Equipment] None

[Skill] Skeleton Armament (Apprentice Level, Instinct): An instinct of the skeleton race, allowing them to enhance themselves and craft equipment using skeletons.

[Soul Power] 0

A newborn, weak skeleton that even an ordinary person might not be able to defeat.

Click.

Click.

Suddenly, not far from the ark, crimson moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon a pile of bones, and a faint flame of soul ignited.

Under the influence of a mysterious force, the scattered bones slowly assembled into a skeleton, which was clumsily trying to get up.

Looking at its soul fire, Ark suddenly felt a hunger.

eat it!

Devour!

powerful!

evolution!

Fang Zhou frowned and took two steps back.

This desire may be a skeleton's instinct, but given his current weak fighting strength and unclear situation, he must not indulge this desire.

So, while controlling his clone to quietly retreat and observe the newborn skeleton's every move from a distance, he opened his personal terminal and searched for information about the skeleton in the database.

"Skeletons are cannon fodder summoned by necromancers; they are apprentice-level undead creatures."

Physically weak and lacking in wisdom, its weakness lies in the fire of its soul.

They possess an instinctive aggression towards living beings and can grow stronger by absorbing the soul fire and bodies of their own kind, with a very small chance of advancing to the Black Iron level as a Skeleton Warrior or Skeleton Archer.

This guide also details the skeleton's attack patterns and combat abilities, and includes videos of skeletons in action.

Apprentice-level skeletons have no awareness of using weapons; they only pounce and bite based on instinct.

Only after advancing to become a Skeleton Warrior or Skeleton Archer can one use [Bone Armament] to condense weapons.

After reviewing the information, Ark's soul flame flickered, and he felt more confident.

Although the clone is weak, the other skeletons seem even weaker; at least they can use weapons.

After taking a few steps and getting used to his new body, Ark picked up a thigh bone from an unknown creature from the ground littered with skeletons, circled around, and slowly approached from behind the newborn skeleton.

The skeleton he had chosen as his prey remained standing there, seemingly oblivious.

ten meters.

five meters.

three meters.

When he was only a meter away from the skeleton, Fangzhou raised the thigh bone in his hand and, with all his might, stabbed it into the soul fire in the skull!

Click!

A crisp sound!

The thigh bone in Fangzhou's hand broke in two, and the skull's head shattered with a crack, the soul fire inside flickering briefly before going out.

Without the Soulfire, the gray skeleton swayed slightly and scattered on the ground, leaving only a wisp of pale blue smoke drifting leisurely above the pile of bones.

How weak!

Fang Zhou breathed a slight sigh of relief, looked around, and seeing that there was no danger, instinctively reached out and covered the pile of bones.

Mmm! That feels good!

He clearly felt a warm current emanating from the pile of bones and flowing into his body!

However, the heat was very weak and lasted only a few seconds.

When the heat dissipated, accompanied by a slight cracking sound, the pile of bones turned into a cloud of grayish-white ash, which vanished with the wind.

It was as if all the valuable essence within the skeletons had been devoured and absorbed by the Ark!
