Chapter 21: 021 Doggy Two Template Evolution
Translator: 549690339
In the Land of the Wraith, on the Bone Throne.
The system is crazily refreshing, with benefits and rewards leaping before his eyes.
Level has been escalated to Level 5!
A new skill unlocked, and a new target quota granted.
Right now, an elite monster corpse lies before him.
At this moment, by rights, Dean McKenzie should be elated.
But Dean McKenzie is not feeling happy at all.
Well, who could be happy when they see numerous Skeleton Pupil Fire flickering and rushing towards them!
Dean McKenzie is on the verge of swearing expletives exasperatedly.
He seriously suspects that the system is rigged against him.
The previous copy heaved him right in front of a decomposing corpse, this one is much worse, hurling him right into a horde of skeletons.
Isn’t that plotting his death?
What faults does he, Dean McKenzie, have?
Apart from possessing a talent that is somewhat like a cheat, what other faults can he, Dean McKenzie, possess? Why is the system specifically targeting him?
“Damn!”
While swearing, Dean McKenzie quickly observes the surroundings.
What gives him some peace is the fact that the platform he is standing on is relatively high, perhaps around ten meters or so.
The whole platform is about thirty to forty square meters, perfectly square.
Three sides of the platform consist of walls that look extremely smooth and should be unscalable. The only way up is a stairway about one meter wide in front.
“Guard that entrance!”
Dean McKenzie hastily dispatched Doggy Two and Doggy Three to defend that entrance.
At the same time, before the skeletons could slaughter their way up, Dean McKenzie swiftly tabulated the gains he received from killing the unfortunate Skeleton Mage who was on the platform.
[After unlocking 2 light spots, you obtain 5 Silver Coins, and a template of a fragile Skeleton Mage Apprentice.]
[You used your Extract talent on the Skeleton Mage successfully, you extracted 0.7 points of Spirit, 3 points of Mana, and a piece of Elite Template Fragments!]
Finally secured the last Elite Fragment.
Without any hesitation, Dean McKenzie chose to merge them, and while the Elite Template was merging, he examined his Attribute board.
On his Attribute board, Dean McKenzie saw the new skill— Bone Shield.
Skill: Bone Shield
Level: Level 1 (0/100)
Incantation: With the Power of Death, create an indestructible shield.
Mana Consumption: 10 points (Activation)
Effect: Summons a shield with defence power equivalent to 1.5 times your Spiritual Power. Maximum Duration: 30 seconds
This is the defensive skill Dean McKenzie has been yearning for.
The appearance of Bone Shield puts a slight smile on Dean McKenzie’s face, but it’s only brief.
After all, even though the new skill is beneficial, if he can’t withstand the forthcoming wave, that’ll be the end of him.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie swiftly turned his attention back to the Elite Template.
Just as he did, the merging of the Elite Template completed.
[You have successfully merged the Elite Template!]
Name: Elite Template
Description: Can grant an Ordinary Template target with an Elite Template, allowing the target to break beyond the limits of an Ordinary Template.
Although the Elite Template’s description is straightforward, Dean McKenzie knows very well that the simpler the description, the more extraordinary the item.
Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie became even more aware that whether he could survive this wave depended on this one template.
Now, he had a problem in front of him.
Who should he use this template on?
Originally, Dean McKenzie only had two choices, either Doggy Two or Doggy Three. But as his level increased to level 5, another target quota came out, adding one more choice on his side.
He could choose to use this elite template on himself.
However, without hesitation, Dean McKenzie crossed this choice off.
“At this time, using it on myself would mean being reckless with my own life.”
Dean McKenzie’s mind was still very clear.
He knew very well, once he chose to use the elite template on himself.
It would be equivalent to crippling his own martial prowess.
The extra quota he originally had, after enhancing Doggy Two or Doggy Three, gave him another enhancing choice. He could enhance his own attributes or add a boosting skill.
But if he uses it to boost the template, then his template would be boosted, and neither Doggy Two nor Doggy Three would get a boost. Therefore, his newly available quota would be wasted.
If it were a usual time, this kind of waste wouldn’t be serious, but at this life-or-death moment.
Dean McKenzie naturally has to make every bit of his strength count.
So, Dean McKenzie has only two choices now, either Doggy Two or Doggy Three!
“Doggy Two, in this situation, a melee combat Doggy Two is much more useful than Doggy Three who only has ten arrows left.”
At the same time Dean McKenzie made his decision, without any hesitation, he threw the recently acquired template onto Doggy Two.
“Are you sure you want to assign the Elite Template to your Wraith Servant?” ps: The assignment requires 50 Silver Coins!
“Yes!”
Dean McKenzie, his eyes wide, gritted his teeth and paid the price.
“You have successfully used the Elite Template, please select the promotion direction for your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two!”
1, Bone-hardened Little Skeleton (Boosting Defense)
2, Agile Little Skeleton (Boosting Agility)
3, Strong Little Skeleton (Boosting Strength)
4, Mediocre Little Skeleton (Balanced growth)
5, Bone Lord (Special evolution in a special environment)
In one breath, five evolution directions appeared in front of Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie swept his eyes over them and quickly dismissed the first four, settling on the fifth.
“Special evolution in a special environment?”
Dean McKenzie squinted and quickly thought of something, turning his head to look at the Bone Throne where the Skeleton Mage was trying to climb up.
“Although I don’t know what kind of evolution this Bone Lord is, and what direction it would enhance after the evolution, anyone with a brain knows what to choose at this time!”
“You have confirmed the promotion direction for your Wraith Servant, Doggy Two. The promotion is starting!”
According to the system prompt, Dean McKenzie’s newly acquired Elite Template, which hadn’t even been warmed up, flew onto Doggy Two. Meanwhile, Dean McKenzie’s hard-earned assets of 85 coins dropped down to 35 silver coins.
The template and the coins disappeared.
Doggy Two, who had been guarding the gate of the stairs, turned around and went up to the Bone Throne and sat down.
Then, a light shone, and a progress bar appeared on Doggy Two’s forehead.
“Promotion is expected to take 10 minutes!”
When this progress bar came up, Dean McKenzie’s face darkened. This meant that he had to withstand the siege of hundreds of skeletons for at least 10 minutes.
The difficulty level was basically Hell.
But where for a man can say he can’t?
What’s more, in the current situation, Dean McKenzie has to go on whether he is capable or not!
Dean McKenzie did not have time to hesitate whether he could or not. He could only put on the “Roughly Made Mana Ring”, then drank the two Mana Potions in one gulp. After putting on the again fresh new Bone Shield, he dismissed Doggy Three whose arrows have just run out….
