Screech!
With a sharp sound of air being torn apart, Su Mu swung down his Bone Falling Moon Blade, beheading the final Elite Zombie.
Weakened as they were, these four Elite Zombies could hold off the relentless attacks of the Advanced Skeletons, but they stood no chance against the Bone Falling Moon Blade's edge.
The battle was over.
The outcome, however, was tragic.
During the two-minute-long enslavement process (just the head), the four Elite Zombies repeatedly spat venom, causing severe losses among Su Mu's Skeleton Minions.
Only eight remained in decent condition.
The rest had either fallen during the earlier fight or were corroded and melted into charred bones by the venomous acid.
Fortunately—
He had won.
The battle was over.
Now came the time for rewards!
He picked up the head of an Elite Skeleton Swordsman and placed it onto the body of a Skeleton Warrior whose head had been melted by the venom. Then, Su Mu walked up to the first Elite Zombie.
He crouched down.
Activated his Talent.
As the familiar warm current surged from the remains of the Elite Zombie into his body, several lines of information refreshed on Su Mu's attribute panel.
"You have absorbed the essence from the corpse. Your body has become stronger."
"Your Strength increased by 3 points."
"Your Constitution increased by 8 points."
"Your Spirit increased by 1 point."
Just one Elite Zombie carcass granted Su Mu 12 Attribute Points—roughly equal to the gains from leveling up once.
Considering that these so-called Elite Zombies had nearly been drained by the dark altar and were on the verge of dropping below Elite Tier, these points weren't just decent—they exceeded his expectations.
Using the same method, he Corrupted and absorbed the remaining three Elite Zombies, gaining more than thirty points in total for his Four Attributes.
Only then did Su Mu approach the nearly Warrior Tier Brutal Zombie.
Even with its head exploded from the failed enslavement, this Zombie's corpse still radiated a savage aura, as if it might wake up again and bite at any moment.
Looking at the over-two-meter-tall body, Su Mu was a little excited.
The drained Elite Zombies were just bonuses—this Brutal Zombie that almost reached Warrior Tier… was the real reward!
Suppressing his excitement, Su Mu placed his bony hand on the Brutal Zombie's steel-like corpse.
[Erosion] Talent activated!
Immediately, a massive surge of heat flowed from the corpse into Su Mu's Bone Body.
If the energy from the Elite Zombie corpses was a small stream, then this Brutal Zombie's was a mighty river!
The heat surged in.
He could clearly feel his Bone Body growing stronger with every passing second!
Ten full minutes passed before the corpse ceased to produce energy.
When the Brutal Zombie's body finally collapsed into a heap of black ash, Su Mu opened his attribute panel.
"You have absorbed the essence from the corpse. Your body has become stronger."
"Your Strength increased by 17 points."
"Your Agility increased by 3 points."
"Your Constitution increased by 26 points."
"Your Spirit increased by 5 points."
A total of 51 Attribute Points gained!
From just these points, it was clear how powerful this nearly-Warrior Tier Zombie truly was!
It likely had Four Attributes comparable to monsters that had already broken into Warrior Tier!
"Whew…"
Su Mu let out a long breath and scanned the altar.
With the Elite Zombies dead, no more undead roamed the dark altar. However, the black Crystal Ball floating above the Brutal Zombie's ashes still hovered in place, tirelessly drawing in death energy from the altar and the entire Deadman's Canyon.
He stepped forward.
Su Mu reached out and "plucked" the Crystal Ball from the air.
As soon as it touched his hand, a series of messages appeared on his attribute panel.
"You have gained 1000 Experience Points."
"You have gained 1000 Experience Points."
"You have gained 1000 Experience Points."
"You have gained..."
"..."
"Your Strength Attribute increased by 5 points."
"Your Agility Attribute increased by 5 points."
"Your Constitution Attribute increased by 5 points."
"Your Spirit Attribute increased by 5 points."
A whole series, dense and overwhelming!
In total, by obtaining this black Crystal Ball, Su Mu received 28,000 Experience Points and 5 points added to all Four Attributes!
That even included the Spirit Attribute—extremely difficult to enhance for an Undead!
Death Energy.
After Su Mu claimed the Crystal Ball, the remaining pure death energy it held was channeled entirely into his body.
For the Undead, death energy was their essence—just as life energy was to the living. It was precisely because of this purest death energy that Su Mu gained such a tremendous boost in a short time!
According to his estimation—
Originally, this energy was meant to help the Brutal Zombie cross the final threshold from Elite Tier to Warrior Tier. Now, it had all been claimed by him.
It was this final surge of energy, enough to propel the Brutal Zombie to the next tier, that had granted Su Mu such immense rewards!
Once the death energy had been fully absorbed, Su Mu finally examined the Crystal Ball carefully.
It was clear and translucent, about the size of an adult's fist.
The entire orb was perfectly smooth and seamless, as if a single chunk of crystal had been polished into flawless form.
Now that the death energy was gone, the swirling mist inside the Crystal Ball had also disappeared.
And now—
As Su Mu held it in his hand, the detailed properties of this Crystal Ball were revealed.
[Name]: Rogris's Crystal Ball
[Rarity]: Dark Gold
[Type]: Item
[Effect]: Absorbs, stores, and automatically refines any energy placed within. Current energy capacity: 10,000 units.
[Description]: In a lost legacy, Rogris obtained this Crystal Ball and attempted to use it in conjunction with Undead Transmutation to create a unique Undead race—Zombies.
At just a glance, Su Mu's heart thundered!
Without hesitation, he gripped the Crystal Ball and dashed out of the dark altar!
