[Your Magic Swordsman Skeleton has advanced to Elite Magic Swordsman Skeleton!]

Different from the first three Skeletons, Skelly2 had a straight path ahead of her. There was no option to choose, class or evolution. As soon as he agreed with the advancement, Skelly2 would evolve immediately. When Skelly2 reached level 300, she got a class as well and became Magic Swordsman. On top of that, those empty socket eyes were filled with the blazing flame now.

"All the skeletons have reached level 400 now, and it will become slower to level them up from now on." Tang Shaoyang looked at the captured knights. "Should I summon a new skeleton or grow these four skeletons first?"

"I think you don't need those skeleton armies for now. So, better to focus on what you have and grow the numbers later. We have to find out a certain evolution which is good to get mass-produced and which one is not. Just you know, we need skeletons with the strongest potential, but the strongest skeletons when they are around level 500 to level 2000. We can't keep leveling them up, after all." Zara shared her thoughts.

"Also, I have a suspicion about these skeletons. I am afraid that what these skeletons killed, it will not help you to level up." Zara had a suspicion about the skeletons. "These Skeletons grew stronger by killing people, not like the spirit. I think they take the experience from killing for themselves."

"How do you know that? I think the experience will be shared with me, but we don't know for sure since there's no indication of the experience." Tang Shaoyang thought that since the skeletons were part of him, the experience would be shared between the summon and the Master just like Summoner. Moon did all the kills, but Moon and Li Na leveled up together.

"That's because I never encountered necromancy like yours. Your skeletons are weird and stronger for sure. But necromancy is not supposed to have anything to do with the soul. The necromancy I know involves dead bodies, not souls, and the skeletons don't evolve like your skeletons. At least, the normal necromancy doesn't have an option like yours." Zara was interested in these skeletons' grooming because she found something new in Tang Shaoyang's necromancy that she could not find in the normal necromancy,

"We will find out if we share the experience or not. If the skeletons shared the experience, I should get a level from killing over a thousand knights with level 400 and above. If I don't level up by the end of this, you should be right about the skeletons taking all the experience by themselves." Tang Shaoyang looked at Kaiser and motioned the Meteorite Skeleton to come over.

"For now, let's get everyone to level 500 first." He agreed with Zara's advice to find the strongest skeleton variant within around level 500 to level 2000. From the current progress, Skelly2 and Keeper were stronger than Kaiser and Skelly1.

As Kaiser arrived in front of him, Tang Shaoyang kept throwing the bodies toward the Meteorite Skeleton. He was unsure how many knights were needed for Kaiser to reach level 500. He counted the knights one by one, and he heard the notification of Kaiser's level up after killing a hundred and twenty-one knights.

"I don't expect it will take that many for Kaiser to reach level 500." Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. Kaiser killed eighteen knights to reach level 400 from level 300, ten times more.

[Your Meteorite Skeleton has advanced to Mithril Skeleton!]

"Mithril Skeleton? Mithril? What is that?" It was something Tang Shaoyang had never heard before. He just knew a little of the fantasy terms, after all. "It's an ore that has high compatibility with Magic or mana. It's a precious material if you want to make something magical." Zara had the knowledge of this Mithril. "This is kinda cheating. You can take your skeleton's frame, and it will restore on its own, right? Does that mean you will have an unlimited supply of Mithril? I think Steel Skeleton's specialty is not combat but a source of materials instead."

Now Zara said it, and Tang Shaoyang realized that Kaiser was more precious than the other skeletons in a way. If they had more Steel Skeleton, they could have unlimited materials for blacksmithing. "Also, we have a blacksmith facility from upgrading the smart base." Tang Shaoyang's eyes lit up as he realized that he did not need to look at mines to find the materials for crafting.

'Steel Skeleton for materials.' Tang Shaoyang made a mental note for himself. After that, he continued with Keeper, and it took a hundred and twenty-three knights for Master Gunslinger Skeleton to reach level 500, two more knights than Kaiser.

[Your Master Gunslinger Skeleton (Keeper) has advanced to Grandmaster Gunslinger Skeleton!]

…

[Your Great Skeleton General (Skelly1) has advanced to Baron Skeleton!]

…

[Your Elite Magic Swordsman (Skelly2) has advanced to Master Magic Swordsman!]

Skelly1 killed a hundred and fifteen knights while Skelly2 killed a hundred and thirty-one to reach level 500. All four Skeletons had a different number, but not that far off. After all four Skeletons reached level 500, he looked over the captured knights. There were around eight hundred knights left. "Let's start over with Kaiser again."

Tang Shaoyang thought that the next Kaiser evolution was at level 600, but he was wrong about it. Kaiser killed all the knights and reached level 723, but there was no notification for the evolution this time. "Not level 600 and not level 700?" He muttered in a low voice. The number was weird for sure, level 723. "Is it level 750? Or is it level 800?"

"I think it should be level 750, and then the next evolution is level 1000. That should be the right level for the next evolution." Zara looked at the bodies all over. "The Skeleton's grooming is over.. It's time for the Spirit Summoning."
