Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“There are background stories too?”

After reading the options provided by the three hero templates, Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that there were actually background introductions.

“It seems these heroes should really exist in the game. They might be NPCs or Bosses.”

Jiang Cheng made some guesses in his heart before reading through them.

“[Undead Reaper – Chernyov] – In life, he was an ordinary citizen of the Lunar Spirit Kingdom with a cowardly personality.

“On a trip with his wife to Skeleton Island, they were ambushed by the undead. His wife died trying to protect him.

“Returning to the city, Chernyov was mocked by everyone. Unable to endure the torment, he finally mustered his courage, took up a sword alone, and returned to Skeleton Island, vowing to avenge his deceased wife.

“Unfortunately, his strength was only that of an ordinary person. Not only did he fail to take revenge, but he was also killed on Skeleton Island. The undead tore out his tendons and bones, eating him alive.

“After death, Chernyov unexpectedly received an infusion of power from the trident of the Iron-Blooded Demon King, absorbing a portion of its immense strength.

“Empowered with this formidable might, Chernyov directly slaughtered all 3 million undead on Skeleton Island.

“The undead race fearfully referred to him as the Undead Reaper.”

“[The Fallen of a Ruined Nation – Bai Zhantian] – In life, he was a general who had fought in hundreds of battles for the Lou Lan Kingdom. Due to a misjudgment on his part, it led to the Lou Lan Kingdom being destroyed by the Yue Ling Kingdom.

“From then on, Bai Zhantian lived in remorse. Unable to bear this guilt, he headed to the Yue Ling Kingdom alone. Fighting solo against an army of 100,000, he slew over 8,000 before finally falling in battle.

“Even after death, he remained riddled with guilt. His obsession prevented his soul from reincarnating, and it could only linger in the destroyed ancient Lou Lan Kingdom, unable to take a single step outside. Anyone who entered the ancient Lou Lan Kingdom would be killed by the hammers he tightly gripped in life.

“The ancient Lou Lan Kingdom thus became a forbidden zone for the living.”

“[Dragonblood Calamity Knight – Erzi] – In life, he was a righteous Phantom Palace Knight.

“Due to being unfortunately tainted by dragon blood when battling a black dragon, unable to withstand the immense power of the dragon blood, his flesh and blood were broken down. He transformed into an undead knight, completely falling into darkness, and joined the Calamity Legion.

“Having been tainted by dragon blood while alive, after death Erzi possessed the rare bloodline of the dragon race. His mount transformed into a dragon bone steed, and he became the commander of the Calamity Legion’s knight forces.”

“All three heroes had quite tragic fates,” Jiang Cheng sighed.

But it didn’t have much to do with him. He only needed to analyze the pros and cons of the three heroes.

The Undead Reaper inherited the trident of the Iron-Blooded Demon King.

This weapon… hard to comment on. The introduction only mentioned absorbing a portion of its power.

From the wording, it was difficult to judge his actual strength. Moreover, this Chernyov was completely relying on luck. He himself didn’t have much real ability.

Pass!

Bai Zhantian was just a general. Even if he had the courage to face an army of 100,000 alone, that army was still only made up of ordinary soldiers.

Furthermore, he used dual hammers. After evolving, it might strengthen his abilities with dual hammers.

This greatly differed from the path Jiang Cheng needed for comprehensive development.

Pass!

Erzi, in life, a Phantom Palace Knight.

After death, the commander of the Calamity Legion knights.

Possessing the dragon bloodline, he could transform his horse into a dragon bone steed.

The introduction didn’t mention what his weapon was, but it was definitely extremely powerful.

It was very clear which was superior.

The Dragonblood Calamity Knight was the strongest.

However, Jiang Cheng had always liked to walk his own path. He was also good at creating and learning. What he disliked the most was following the old paths of others.

“Are there any hidden evolution paths?” Jiang Cheng asked probingly with a mindset of giving it a try.
