Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Jiang Cheng’s skills that were at max level included Swift Slash, Gale Step and Split.

Swift Slash’s attack speed bonus was 300%, but even if it was increased to 500%, it would be difficult to have any further improvement.

An attack speed of one slash every 0.3 seconds was already close to the limit of percentage based bonuses.

Without increasing his own base attack speed, even with a 500% bonus, at most it would only reduce the time to 0.28 seconds per slash, which wasn’t worth it.

As for Gale Step, because he had Skeleton Warhorse, he didn’t have an urgent need for it at the moment.

The only thing left to level up was Split.

At level 10, Split had an extra 15% damage that ignored defense and evasion.

But Jiang Cheng just discovered that when he attacked while mounted, the Split effect didn’t trigger.

Later, after switching to the Blood Hell Sword, Split finally triggered.

In other words, Split could only be triggered when using a blade.

He just didn’t know if evolving the skill would make up for this shortcoming.

Jiang Cheng felt a tinge of anticipation in his heart.

[Spend 10,000 Evolution Points and 100 Enhancement Points to successfully evolve the Split skill and breakthrough.]

[Congratulations, Split skill has broken through to level 11 and advanced to the Rage Slash skill.]

“Rage Slash? Even the name changed?” Jiang Cheng was intrigued and quickly checked it out.

【Rage Slash】

Quality: Rare

Type: Passive

Overview: When attacking, triggers an extra 16% damage split across a 2×2 meter range. The extra damage ignores defense and evasion. Passively increases attack power by 1%.

“The damage only increased from 15% to 16%, how trashy.”

“However… the range did increase by a meter, doubling it. If I go kill Stone Men again, I can split around 8 Stone Men at once now.”

“It also increased attack power by 1%. I estimate if I level it up again, the attack power will also increase.”

In the short term, it’s not much, but in the long run, it’s excellent, even the skill quality has improved.

It seems that skill breakthroughs are indeed quite rewarding.

It’s just that… Enhancement Points were too hard to earn.

“There’s only 300 Enhancement Points left. I have a bit over 4000 Evolution Points, not enough to evolve other skills anymore.”

Jiang Cheng suddenly looked at his blade and Skeleton body.

Currently, his attack damage was sufficient. He could consider strengthening other aspects.

The blood-red flames in his eyes, nasal bones, hand bones, rib cage, leg bones, ear bones, even… could the cape also be strengthened?

Jiang Cheng experimented for a bit and found that it really could.

Strengthening the nasal bone improved sense of smell; hand bones improved attack speed and damage; leg bones improved movement speed; ear bones improved hearing; and the cape… improved carrying capacity.

There was also the skull which strengthened reaction speed and spell casting speed.

The outer body bones strengthened physical senses and defense; the spine strengthened rigidity and super armor.

From the skull down to the toe bones, all 206 bones could be strengthened. And it wasn’t limited to just these basic effects, there was also the possibility of strengthening out special effects.

“Let’s start with the eyes.” Jiang Cheng made up his mind.

The fog in Gloomy Marsh made it a bit hard for him to see through. He always felt there were hidden dangers. He needed to see if strengthening his eyes would have any effect and allow him to see through this fog.

“Strengthening Crimson Eyes requires 100 Enhancement Points. Strengthening direction is to increase vision with a chance of mutating a new function. Strengthen?”

“Strengthening successful, vision clarity increased from 100 meters to 110 meters.”

“Strengthening Crimson Eyes requires 200 Enhancement Points. Strengthening direction is to increase vision with a chance to advance. Strengthen?”

“Strengthening successful, vision clarity increased from 110 meters to 120 meters. Advancement successful, obtained Crimson Observing Eyes.”

In an instant, a point of scorching white flames appeared amidst the blood-red flames in his eye sockets.

【Crimson Observing Eyes】

Overview: Omniscience, appraises enemy units within a 120 meter radius, ignoring obstacles.

When the white-hot flames appeared within his blood-red flames, instantly, all enemy units within 120 meters in all directions were revealed before his eyes.

Jiang Cheng grinned with his teeth, “As expected, there was something fishy.”
