Chapter 53: Chapter 53 The First High-End Combat Power

– Hell Demon Puppet

Translator: 549690339

“Necromantic golem puppets are a subtype of summoned stone demons. What if I take several stone demon skills, first enhance and mutate them with Nether Crystal Cores, and then use skill fusion scrolls for further mutation? Could I obtain a ability to summon a super stone demon?”

Zi Liyuan immediately opened his skill panel and started to inspect the Necromancer’s summoning skill tree.

The skills for Clay Stone Demon, Blood Stone Demon, Steel Stone Demon, and Flame Stone Demon were already activated, and the previously gray”+” symbols behind these skills were now all illuminated.

Clay Stone Demon (+) -> Nether Earth Devil (30,000 Spiritual Energy)

Blood Stone Demon (+) — Nether Blood Devil (30,000 Spiritual Energy)

Steel Stone Demon (+) -> Nether Steel Devil (30,000 Spiritual Energy)

Flame Stone Demon (+) -> Nether Flame Devil (30,000 Spiritual Energy)

Good gracious! It takes 30,000 Spiritual Energy to enhance and mutate a single skill; before his class change, Zi Liyuan could never have met such a requirement.

But now, after a glance at his own attributes and seeing a Spiritual Energy value of 30,600 points, Zi Liyuan didn’t hesitate to take out a potion to restore Spiritual Energy.

With enough Spiritual Energy and the effect of the Nether Crystal Core, all four skills were successfully enhanced and mutated.

The four new stone demon summoning skills he acquired allowed him to summon stone demons with significantly increased battle prowess, and they all benefited from the amplification provided by stone demon domination skills.

After comparing the attributes of these stone demons, Zi Liyuan realized that if the mutated skeleton skills could barely reach First Order strength, then these mutated stone demon skills were capable of summoning Second Order strength stone demons.

However, Zi Liyuan was not satisfied at all, since each stone demon could only produce one creature and couldn’t create a Skeleton Sea like the skeletons could.

“Second Order strength stone demons are neither here nor there; they lack the high-end combat strength and don’t have the numerical advantage of low-end combat. Utterly mediocre – they are neither useful nor worthless. If that’s the case…”

Zi Liyuan took out the [Necromancy Skill Fusion Scroll (Blue)] he had just obtained and unfolded it without any hesitation.

He then proceeded to drag all nine stone demon-related skills into the fusion and mutation panel: the four basic stone demon summoning skills, the four mutated and enhanced stone demon skills, and the stone demon domination skill.

Seeing only a 0.1% chance of success, Zi Liyuan activated the fusion and mutation interface without a moment’s hesitation.

A haze of gray light instantly enveloped the interface as the nine skills transformed into streams of red and green light, beginning to intertwine and merge with each other.

In less than a minute, a burst of silver light exploded from the interface cloaked in gray haze, and in the next moment, it entered Zi Liyuan’s glabella and disappeared in an instant.

[Congratulations to the professional for successfully fusing and mutating the skill – Summon Hell Magic Puppet (Silver)]

“What the hell did I just fuse and mutate?!”

Only one word can describe the attributes of this thing: terrifying.

It’s just Level 1, but these base attributes, excluding life, are even stronger than a Level 20 hero BOSS!

Not to mention, it has a total of nine skills, and all of them are passive and cause no consumption!

Gravity Field reduces movement speed by 20% within a large area.

Delayed Deceleration reduces the attack target’s speed by 30% and can stack with Gravity Field!

Blood Absorption, each attack comes with a 30% life steal effect, restoring one’s own vitality.

Life Transfer, designates a target to transfer one’s health to, sharing life unilaterally.

Damage Reflection, after being attacked, capable of reflecting 40% of the received damage.

Steel Body, amplifies physical damage, physical defense, and damage reflection effects.

Fire Burn, each attack is accompanied by a burning fire effect.

Hellfire, immune to fire elemental damage, enhances fire-type damage, and increases magical resistance.

Puppet Augmentation, with each level up, damage +20, physical defense +15, magic defense +15, health +2500.

The description of the skills was a bit vague and needed verification by Zi Liyuan, but with these explanations, who needs a bicycle anymore!

It was ridiculously strong!

Without exaggeration, the only possible contender to be mentioned in the same breath as this monstrosity, after such a multitude of enhanced mutations, might only be the “Death Shadow Arrow”.

Zi Liyuan held the magic wand in his hand, tapped it on the ground, and a summoning circle made of blood and flames rapidly condensed into form in front of him.

Greenish hellfire, piercing the barriers of space, burned its way from the netherworld of hell, directly coalescing into a giant puppet monster shrouded in green flames before his eyes.

Standing three meters tall, with a massive and muscular body, completely encased in steel armor and with deep green hellfire burning all over, it was an unmistakable testament to its terrifying power.

Feeling the contract between them, Zi Liyuan couldn’t help but show an excited smile.

He finally had his first top-tier combat entity; he wouldn’t have to worry about taking a hands-on approach to whittle down bosses anymore.

“But this still isn’t enough!”

Taking out the [Puppet’s Spirit Core (Silver)], Zi Liyuan looked fervently at the tall hellish puppet.

“Come on, let’s see how much more powerful you can become!”

The [Puppet’s Spirit Core (Silver)] transformed into a silvery streak of light and instantly entered the body of the hellish puppet.

In the next moment, the attribute panel of the hellish puppet twisted and split.

What was once a single panel page now tore and divided into two.

[The professional used the silver puppet template on the hellish puppet successfully, evolving it into a silver hero BOSS template and opening skill slots and equipment slots.]

[Silver Hero BOSS Template activated, attribute increase +4.00%.]

[Silver Hero BOSS skill slots opened (0/8), capable of learning skills related to the Necromancer’s puppet.]

[Silver Hero BOSS equipment slots opened (0/6), same as the contract holder’s equipment slots.]

[Silver Hero Template activated, puppet’s level matches that of the contract holder, subsequent upgrades consume equivalent experience of the contract holder’s level!]

“Damn!” (0_0)!

[Hellish Puppet, LV40, mixed damage 4000, physical defense 2800, magic defense 2800, health 420k]

At that moment, Zi Liyuan was truly stunned.

He knew the hellish puppet would become stronger after the augmentation but had not anticipated it becoming so overpowered!

Forsaking the damage, which was within an acceptable range since he had witnessed a Necromancer BOSS with 3000 magic damage.

It was the puppet’s dual resistance that was astoundingly high, 2800 points, how was anyone supposed to break through its defenses?

As for the 420k health points, in comparison to BOSSes of the same order, it could only be considered mid-tier.
