Chapter 1087: Upgraded skeleton
The zombies continued to congeal together until they came together as one single mass of dead flesh.
What the golems were was a mass of dead flesh that was bound together by the dark energy in the first place. So that was why the method of creating the golem involved smushing all of these zombies together.
Once the zombies were together, the dark energy that had been under them suddenly came up and completely covered them.
This dark energy seeped into the mass of dead flesh and almost seemed like it was nurturing it. With the dark energy seemingly strengthening the mass of dead flesh, it didn’t take long before the seams that were there slowly disappeared.
It was as if the mass of dead flesh was coming together as one single thing.
The dark energy that was used to create these masses of dead flesh wasn’t as strong as the dark energy that was used to create the Death Knight, but the golems were terrifying to look at compared to the Death Knight.
That was just because of the difference between the Death Knight and the golem.
One was a skeletal knight while the other was a large mass of dead flesh.
It was only natural that the two of them would seem different.
They were completely different in terms of undead creatures.
After they finished congealing together, the golems started to take proper form. They were just a mass of dead flesh before, but now they were taking the shape of a human, though the shape that they took was a bit strange.
Fat.
That was the only word that could be used to describe the golems.
The golems looked like bloated figures with how round they looked.
That was only because I wasn’t able to compress them properly.
The golems that I made looked completely different from the golems that the lich made and that was a problem of experience. I simply didn’t have as much experience as the lich did with controlling the dark energy.
The golems were supposed to be compressed by the dark energy, but mine was just too weak and not skilled enough to compress the golems enough.
A golem that wasn’t as compressed didn’t have the same kind of defense and power that a golem that was compressed had.
But when I tested it, I was still satisfied with the power that the golem had.
A single punch was enough to shatter the trunk of a tree.
It didn’t just knock the tree over, it shattered the part of the trunk that its fist hit, showing just how much power was contained in that single punch. It was more than enough to shatter a normal person’s head if this punch hit them.
That was just how much power this golem had.
This was more than enough for me for now, until I figured out how to compress the golem
even more.
After making the golem, it still felt like I had a decent amount of dark energy left, so I turned to some of the skeletons that were standing there as well.
With a thought, the skeletons came forward until they were standing in front of me.
With the Orb of the Dead, I gathered the dark energy once more and injected it into the skeletons that were here.
However, I wasn’t making another Death Knight.
This time, I injected several skeletons with the dark energy at the same time and it was only a small amount of the dark energy. It wasn’t enough to turn them into Death Knights, but it was still enough to mutate them.
I was using the dark energy to upgrade these skeletons.
There were two different kinds of skeleton that appeared in the end.
One of the types of skeleton was a magician kind that formed a hat and a staff.
The other kind was an archer kind that formed bow and arrows.
All of these things that they obtained were formed from bones that seemed to be made from the dark energy.
After they formed their weapons, the aura that was around the skeletons seemed to change.
It was as if the concentration of dark energy around them became denser and they were much more powerful than before.
The first ones that I paid attention to were the ones that had the staff and wizard’s hat. Since they had this, there was no doubt that they would be skeleton magicians. Magicians were rare to have in armies, so a skeletal magician would certainly be a welcome addition to any army. Especially since they would be easier to use compared to other types of magicians.
They would be much easier to control since they were undead that followed orders.
But it turned out that these skeletal magicians weren’t that strong in the first place. Whether that was because they had been newly formed or if it was because they were formed by my weak mana, they were only able to cast simple fireball spells.
The damage that was caused by the fireball spells weren’t even as strong as a single punch from the golem.
That was all because they didn’t have enough dark energy when they had been formed. To my surprise, the archer skeletons were actually stronger than the skeletal magicians. Magic was something that required experience to use properly and these magician skeletons had just become magicians, so they weren’t able to wield their magic properly.
As for the skeleton archers, they found that they were in control of their abilities much more since it was a matter of just controlling their bows to shoot arrows with.
But it wasn’t just them shooting their arrows.
When they shot their arrows, they would gather the dark energy within them in the head of the arrows and shoot it out along with the arrows.
The buff from the dark energy gave their arrows enough penetrative force to create a hole in the trees they shot.
It was a hole that seemed to have formed from nowhere.
That was just how much penetrative force there was behind these arrows.
