Undead God: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 78: 078 Summon Skeleton One Strong

Translator: 549690339

When faced with the Shadow Ghosts, all Dean McKenzie could do was upgrade his skills.

Currently, Dean held two Grant Quotas in his hands, but there were hardly any skills that could be upgraded to deal with Shadow Ghosts.

After all, Dean’s only attack skill was Bone Fang, and it couldn’t be upgraded.

After scanning through his options, the only thing Dean could upgrade was Summon Skeleton.

“Upgrade Summon Skeleton. Enhance Old Seven. Old Seven’s Little Nether Flame Ball can damage the Shadow Ghosts!”

Once he had made up his mind, Dean didn’t immediately open the attribute panel to enhance his skills.

Instead, he first approached the six Excellent Template beasts that had already been finished off, and used Extraction on them.

“[You have successfully extracted attributes from six Excellent Template beasts, gaining 60 attribute points, and six pieces of Excellent Template fragments.]”

“60 attribute points? It seems that the upper limit of level 2 Extraction is 10 points.”

After obtaining the wanted Template fragments, Dean then chose to enhance the skill Summon Skeleton.

The system prompt refreshed simultaneously.

“[You have chosen to upgrade the skill ‘Summon Skeleton+1’]!”

“[Due to the uniqueness of this skill, activating the enhancement of ‘Summon Skeleton+1’ requires two Grant Quotas. Do you want to activate the enhancement?]”

Two quotas?

Dean’s eyebrows raised in dissatisfaction, but in this moment, he had no choice but to proceed.

“[You have activated the enhancement for ‘Summon Skeleton+1’. Please choose the main direction for skill enhancement!]”

Quantity or effect!

Without hesitation, Dean chose Effect over Quantity.

Firstly, quantity was not very useful at the moment. Moreover, if he really needed quantity, Dean could just open the Gate of Bone.

Over the span of a month, the number of skeletons inside the Gate of Bone had already exceeded ten thousand.

Dean could summon a legion of tens of thousands of skeletons at any time, but level 5 skeletons weren’t very useful.

Therefore, enhancing Effect was the most important at this moment.

“[You chose to enhance Effect. You have 10 minutes for enhancement!]”

With each talent upgrade, the time for skill enhancement increased as well.

But whether Dean could use these ten minutes was still uncertain.

Because he couldn’t focus on extracting attributes at the moment.

Even as Dean was still extracting attributes, the Ferocious Mantis Swordsman attacked again. Dean used Bone Shield to block the attack, but he was still knocked back quite a distance.

What infuriated Dean more was that the Mantis tore apart a beast’s corpse.

His eyes turned red instantly.

What the Mantis had torn apart was not just a corpse, but Dean’s attributes.

“Courting death!”

Dean raised his hand and fired a Bone Fang. The Bone Fang rose up and stopped forty meters away, then split down and attacked the Mantis.

At the same time, a Slow Curse was cast on the Mantis.

The Slow Curse skill was basically targeting-based. Once activated, it could not be avoided, but its effect was not very good. At level 2, it could only reduce speed by fifteen percent.

This had almost no effect on the Mantis. It easily found a gap in the Bone Fang’s attack and stood unscathed amidst the assault.

However, Dean’s eyes lit up at this moment.

“Gotcha. I’ve told you, if you make a single mistake, I’ll kill you!”

As Dean spoke, a Bone Prison rose up right under the Mantis.

The Mantis was startled and tried to escape but it was too late. It was directly trapped inside the Bone Prison.

Dean took the opportunity to fire a Bone Fang, which pierced through the Mantis’s body and exploded inside it, leaving the Mantis riddled with holes.

“[You have successfully killed the ‘Ferocious Mantis Swordsman’ (Excellent) (level 32) and gained 230,000 experience points!]”

At the same time that Dean killed the Mantis Swordsman, the Shadow Ghost didn’t miss the opportunity either.

It turned into a shadow and lunged towards Dean’s feet.

Though it made good use of the opportunity, Dean McKenzie wasn’t standing idle. Though he was dealing with the mantis, his real focus was on the Shadow Ghost – after all, the mantis couldn’t penetrate Dean’s defense.

So when the Shadow Ghost moved, Dean noticed immediately.

He raised his hand and initiated a [Holy Light Recovery].

Though using this skill made Dean somewhat uncomfortable, its efficiency was satisfactory.

Dean’s mana was immediately restored.

More importantly, the holy light from the Holy Light Recovery dispelled Dean’s shadow, forcing the nearby Shadow Ghost to retreat.

Dean seized the opportunity, casting an extraction on the [Ferocious Mantis Swordsman].

[You successfully used Talent Extraction on the [Ferocious Mantis Swordsman], you gain 10 attribute points!]

[You are currently in a state of Skill Enhancement. Please choose whether to extract template fragments or essence.]

Looking at the two freshly displayed prompts, Dean was taken aback. He could choose between template fragments or essence?

Was this the effect of upgrading the talent?

Upon closer inspection, Dean realized that that wasn’t the case.

Both the template fragments and the essence can be used to enhance his [Summon Skeleton]skill.

This surprise Dean.

Almost instantly, Dean dumped all of his more than a hundred saved template fragments, leaving only three to enhance his own Excellent template fragments, into the [Summon Skeleton] skill.

At the same time, he chose to extract the essence of the [Ferocious Mantis Swordsman]and tried to integrate this essence into the [Summon Skeleton] skill.

[Please note that the [Dangerous Swiftness] you are integrating into the skill is not suitable for this skill. Continuing the fusion may result in failure. Do you wish to continue the fusion, or convert it into nourishment for the skill to naturally develop its traits?]

Dean was taken aback.

This was another situation he had yet to encounter.

Following that, Dean responded quickly and chose the latter.

A progress bar then appeared before Dean McKenzie.

It was clear that once the progress bar was full, a trait suitable for the [Summon Skeleton] would be generated.

Dean quickly went into action, vigilantly defending against a surprise attack from the lone Shadow Ghost while continuing to extraction Genus Beast corpses scattered on the ground.

With more than a hundred Genus Beasts, Dean finally managed to complete the extraction of all the corpses in nine minutes and thirty-two seconds.

Subsequently, as the time returned to zero, the message on the system refreshed before Dean McKenzie.

[You have spent 57 gold coins, your skill [Summon Skeleton] has been enhanced!]

At the same moment, the attribute of [Summon Skeleton] in Dean’s attribute panel also underwent a drastic change.

Looking at the attributes of Summon Skeleton, Dean felt a surge of excitement, almost explosive.

“Boom!”

At the same time when he was almost exploding with excitement, the gate of the Duel Arena exploded and a burly figure stepped in..
