Necromancer: Ahem! I'm really not Lao Liu!

Chapter 399

Zhang Dadan was overjoyed with his promotion and couldn't wait to try out his new skills.

After all, they are just ordinary people, and they are naturally full of anticipation when faced with new things.

You won't know until you try it, and once you try it, you'll be amazed!

People often say, "There are gods three feet above your head," but for Zhang Dadan, it's "There are spirits of the dead three feet above your head."

To be precise, in Zhang Dadan's perception, he sensed an illusory altar of the dead three feet above his head, which looked exactly like the altar in his underworld.

It is also divided into two levels, with five skulls standing on top.

The moment he sensed it, Zhang Dadan understood that this was the effect of the "Bone Guardian" skill.

These skeletons not only possess all the existing attributes, but also have the deathly stillness of the underworld.

More importantly, Zhang Dadan doesn't need any extra operations; he can command these skeletons to materialize and launch attacks simply by thinking about them.

Moreover, instinctively, these skeletons would automatically materialize and shield Zhang Dadan from impending harm should he encounter danger.

It can be described as a perfect combination of offense and defense.

Of course, this doesn't mean invincibility. These five skeletons mean they can only help Zhang Dadan withstand five attacks in a short period, after which he will need time to recover.

As for the damage-blocking effect, it's not possible to test it at the moment.

But Zhang Dadan was itching to see how effective the attack would be, and he had to try it out, no matter how badly it went.

Without hesitation, Zhang Dadan locked onto a tree not far away and issued the attack command.

Skeleton mages, skeleton leaders, and skeleton warriors launched ranged attacks.

Meanwhile, the melee skeleton warriors made a fool of themselves.

Because of their short melee attack range, they materialized in front of the target and launched an attack according to Zhang Dadan's will.

The problem lies with the manifested skeletons, which look like transparent crystal glass. Instead of being scary, they appear rather gorgeous.

In addition, the Bone King Shield has an inherent hazy quality, somewhat resembling the body of a heroic spirit.

Zhang Dadan was quite satisfied with this, since it meant that no one would associate him with dark-type professions when using these skeletons under normal circumstances.

Although there is no such thing as occupational discrimination, people are driven by the instinct to avoid danger and seek good fortune. Once they know about it, they will subconsciously keep their distance, even if they don't say it.

Here's what happened~

Zhang Dadan was using it for the first time and lacked experience.

The skeleton successfully materialized in front of the tree, but ended up crashing into it with a "Duang".

The tree remained undamaged, but the manifested skeleton completely disintegrated, leaving Zhang Dadan both amused and exasperated.

At present, the "Bone Guardian" skill, while providing an additional means of attack, isn't particularly useful in the current situation, at least not here. After all, there are hundreds of thousands, even millions, of skeletons here—it's not worth it, really not worth it.

However, once the skeleton team grows stronger in the future, it will likely play a significant role when used as a healer.

The only advantage it currently offers is that it can be used at will, and its operation is as smooth as directing one's own fingers.

Next, Zhang Dadan decided to try out the "Source of Magic" skill.

Logically speaking, this should be considered a skill from the Life series. However, since Zhang Dadan has already mastered the inheritance, he can use his skills however he wants.

Zhang Dadan decided to test the "Life Recovery" skill first.

With a flash of dazzling magic circle light, a green healing orb radiating a soft glow appeared before our eyes.

Unlike the feeling of constantly consuming magic power when casting the "Life Restoration" skill before, Zhang Dadan keenly noticed that there seemed to be an extra magic pool in the position of the magic circle that maintained the healing orb, and the magic pool could continuously supply magic power to the orb.

And one can then infuse magic into the magic pool.

Zhang Dadan curiously tried it out and found that he could currently input a maximum of one hundred points of magic power into this magic pool. After inputting one hundred points of magic power, he decisively cut off the magic power supply that was maintaining the healing orb.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded. The healing orb did not dissipate because Zhang Dadan cut off the magic supply; instead, it continued to consume the magic in the magic pool, sustaining its healing effects.

In this light, the power of the "Source of Magic" is like an extraordinary version of a power bank.

Don't underestimate this seemingly simple change. Now, as long as Zhang Dadan has enough magic power reserves, theoretically he can simultaneously unleash and maintain ten or even hundreds of healing orbs.

This healing ability is far superior to what it was before, by more than one level.

It's important to know that Zhang Dadan's healing orbs now possess real and effective healing capabilities. The healing effect of a single orb may be limited, but if hundreds of orbs are stacked together, the healing effect is simply incomparable.

This ability to unleash powerful healing capabilities will undoubtedly become a formidable trump card or signature move in Zhang Dadan's hands.

Zhang Dadan was filled with anticipation for the effects of the new skill combination. His gaze quickly focused on the "Summoning Skeletons" skill, and he wondered if he could also apply "Source of Magic" to this skill.

So Zhang Dadan used "Summoning of Bones" once again.

Instantly, the familiar magic circle burst forth with dazzling light, and magical power began to surge like a rushing stream.

As the magic circle continued to operate, consuming 1 point of magic power per minute to summon skeletons from the underworld, Zhang Dadan keenly noticed that a pool of magic power, bestowed by the "Source of Magic Power," had also appeared at the location maintaining the magic circle.

This attempt made Zhang Dadan realize the enormous potential contained in combining "Source of Magic" with "Summoning of Bones".

Before he mastered the skill of multitasking, this combined ability undoubtedly greatly improved his efficiency in summoning the skeleton army.

This means that Zhang Dadan can activate multiple 'bone summoning' arrays simultaneously, creating 10,000 teams versus 100,000 teams in a short period of time—this is a fundamental difference.

In the past, when Zhang Dadan used "Summoning Bones", the consumption of magic power was continuous and irreversible. Once the magic power was insufficient and he went too far, the summoning process might be interrupted.

But now that the "Source of Magic" provides a magic pool, it's like having insurance for "Summoning Bones".

Even if he is distracted by other important matters or unable to replenish his magic power in time due to other commitments, the magic power reserves in the magic pool will ensure that the "Summoning of Bones" magic circle continues to operate.

Just like the healing orb before, if Zhang Dadan has enough skeletons, he can summon a massive army of skeletons in a short time.

It has to be said that the skill 'Source of Magic' is nothing short of a divine skill for Zhang Dadan!
