Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

[Congratulations, host, on successfully evolving into Calamity Nether Death – Judgment!]

[Health increased by 5000 points, Mana increased by 5000 points, Control Effect Resistance +15%.]

[This evolution has triggered the Heart of the Nether River passive, granting the unique awakened passive, Reincarnation!]

[This evolution has merged the effects of Hecate’s Brooch, granting the special skill, Judgment.]

[This evolution has merged the Nether Moon Canon, Mana +15000, Spirit +1000, awakening the talent spell, Nether Moon Barrier!]

[This evolution has awakened the host’s passives: Transmutation, Soul Suppression, Spell Breaking, and True Soul characteristics.]

A series of information prompts echoed in Jiang Cheng’s mind, causing him to feel slightly elated.

Calamity Nether Death – Judgment.

The name of the new form had a profound meaning.

Calamity destroys the mortal realm, Nether Death obliterates the underworld, Judgment settles all injustices!

Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure if his understanding was correct.

But it sounded about right.

Because the things he was going to do in the future were indeed related to these three terms.

Reincarnation, Judgment, Nether Moon Barrier, unique passive, special skill, talent spell – these things seemed to have never existed in the mythical world before.

It seemed that The Great Wasteland world was indeed richer than the mythical world in some aspects.

Instead of immediately checking these skills and talent spells, Jiang Cheng first examined the changes to his body.

As his soul fire flickered, the first thing that caught his eye was the long, narrow blade in his hand, emitting a ghostly blue light.

The blade was half again as long as the previous Frost Disaster!

The blade was even more slender and narrow, more curved than a Tang sword, without much texture, only some black runes etched on the blade.

Jiang Cheng roughly estimated that this blade was about 1.5 meters long.

Although it looked especially aesthetically pleasing and intimidating, the narrowness, length, and degree of curvature of the blade gave him a constant worry that it might break at any moment.

“This weapon…” After reading the attributes of Nether Blade · No Mercy, even the usually calm Jiang Cheng was slightly flustered.

The Strength and Agility bonuses were impressive enough.

But these three critical hit bonuses could make his damage extremely terrifying!

The critical hit chance, combined with Jiang Cheng’s innate talent, reached a terrifying 85%!

The remaining 15% probability could be ignored; basically, every hit would be a critical hit!

And the critical hit damage had increased from the previous 80% to 150%.

This meant an additional 0.7 times critical hit damage.

Add to that the No Mercy characteristic…

The No Mercy characteristic was truly too powerful!

After the overall evolution, he calculated that with all states active, his extreme attack speed should be around 9 slashes per second!

Nine slashes per second, without relying on forced blade retrieval, and a normal attack speed of 5 slashes per second – with such a high-frequency attack speed, even a 1% chance would have a high probability of triggering!

Previously, his maximum attack multiplier was 18 times. If he triggered the 1% chance of 20 times damage from No Mercy…

Add to that the 20% increased damage from Nether Fire, and the damage would be terrifying.

If… he was killing a hellish creature, the Nether Death characteristic would multiply that by 3 times…

A 114 times critical hit damage bonus was extremely terrifying!

And Jiang Cheng hadn’t even factored in the vital point critical hit damage bonus from this blade…

The Nether Embrace and Nether Void characteristics belonged to the control category.

Compared to Frost Disaster, the control effects of Nether Embrace and Nether Void were much more powerful!

This Nether Blade · No Mercy was simply terrifying to the extreme!

After looking at the weapon’s attributes, Jiang Cheng habitually prepared to put it away in his cloak.

But strangely, unlike when storing weapons before, this time Nether Blade · No Mercy simply disappeared from his hand.

Moreover, it wasn’t stored in the back of the cloak, but instead hung at his waist.

“Hm? My waist has evolved a specialized bone structure for storing weapons…”

Jiang Cheng was slightly speechless. The blue suspension bone derived from this bone structure was convenient, but it made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, he was afraid that such a long nether blade might accidentally stab someone.

“The bone color has changed too… ghostly blue.”

After hanging up the nether blade, Jiang Cheng then examined the changes to his body.

However, upon seeing the overall color tone of his bones, Jiang Cheng was a bit speechless.

Every time he evolved, the color of his bones would change, from the previous white, dark gray, blood red, black, to the current ghostly blue. Jiang Cheng knew very well in his heart.

The colors left for him… were not many.

“Hmm… there’s armor!” Jiang Cheng touched the bones in his body and was suddenly surprised.

Because compared to before, his chest, arms, shoulders, and leg bones were now covered with a layer of golden bone armor, sharp, fierce, and covered with barbs…

“Now… Mengmeng is in trouble.”

Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of A Silly Cutie lying in his arms, being pricked by the barbs…

【Nether Armor · Golden Embrace】

Quality: Epic

Level: 1

Defense: 300-500

Magic Defense: 300-500

Overview: Composed of adamantine armor, greaves, pauldrons, and gauntlets, providing a certain level of defense.

Other attributes: (Unsealed)

“Not unsealed.”

Jiang Cheng felt a bit disappointed, but then felt relieved when he thought of its insane defense.

After evolving for so long, his magic defense had finally crossed the 500 threshold!

Moreover, he finally didn’t have to go around naked all the time.

Although he knew he was a skeleton, and there was no difference between being naked or clothed, he was still human before, and had the proper sense of propriety and shame.

It was just that without the burden of attributes, he didn’t want to wear anything.

Now it was good, having both attributes and covering his body…

“This weapon… has become adamantine bone wings?”

Jiang Cheng suddenly sat up from the bedside, spreading his back wings, and a phantom of a blue moon flashed by.

“Total length 2.4 meters…”

Thirty-six sword-like golden bone blades, left and right, formed a pair of bone wings about 2.4 meters long.

Jiang Cheng looked carefully and found that these bone wings could not only be extended and retracted at will, but also had no attribute display.

In other words… this pair of golden bone wings had become part of his body.

“It seems that from now on, I can fly without time restrictions.”
