Wearing these self-made magic equipment on his body, Ivan's image suddenly became mysterious and unpredictable, making others instinctively feel a special kind of awe and fear.
After all, no matter how rubbish they are, these items are truly extraordinary items, the kind that would create a magnificent legend even in ancient times.
Moreover, the special mysterious aura that comes with the equipment as a small amount of magic power escapes is completely unmatched by ordinary so-called famous brands or high-end handmade clothing by masters.
Therefore, when someone puts on a faceless mask made of gold by Held and No. 1 together, without any decoration, and then mobilizes the power of death all over his body, an evil mage will appear as if he has walked out of death.
Freshly baked.
"This vest is pretty good, but it's a pity that it's too dangerous to go into battle by myself. I'd better put it on for my subordinates to cause trouble in the future."
Alvin already has plans to summon a new skeleton mage, let him stay in the outside world, and open a "sub-base".
By then, this equipment should be able to be used.
As long as the skeleton mage is wrapped tightly and filled with something to fill the holes between the bones, he will not be covered with "chops" when the wind blows, and then he can be thrown into trouble in those small chaotic countries.
After stuffing the equipment that took him a whole day into the closet, Ivan asked Held to help clean up the mess in the house, and then walked to the empty room specially opened on the first floor.
I took out a long edged sword I found at the second-hand market and started practicing my daily swordsmanship.
He firmly believes that no matter how talented you are in swordsmanship, the final achievement still requires enough hard work and sweat.
Therefore, he never relaxed his practice of swordsmanship, and began to absorb schools from as many countries as possible to enhance his experience and foundation.
After all, the path of martial arts is the only one he can master at present, and the mature combat system is naturally the main direction of his current study.
He really wants to learn magic, but he still can't get in!
And to be honest, although Ivan has always regarded the fighting blood brought by [Wind Step] as a debuff, he himself has been affected to a certain extent, and it is simply uncomfortable not to practice sword practice every day.
Swing the sword, chop, step, dodge...
After practicing intensively for a full hour, Ivan inevitably broke into a sweat with his system. Then he took a shower and continued to practice the "Hammer of the Wind King" on how to make the weapon invisible.
As time goes by, his attributes continue to improve steadily under the influence of abundant extraordinary power, and Ivan now needs less and less sleep time.
Basically, after working for more than 30 hours, I can fully recover by sleeping for three or four hours.
This undoubtedly gave him more time to improve himself, continue to study, research skills, and exercise himself as planned.
Ten minutes on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
He is very patient and doesn't mind spending ten years laying the foundation.
Anyway, by then Alvin will be 30 years old at most as before.
But by then, his heritage, his abilities, and even his future will no longer be the same as they once were...
Maybe today is someone's lucky day.
Just after he finished his routine test of the Wind King's Hammer and successfully made an ordinary long sword invisible for a second, Shadow 003, who was exploring the ruins outside, and the Crypt Demon suddenly sent a message.
They made new discoveries again.
The entire peripheral area of Sunset Town has been thoroughly screened after several system soldiers have diligently explored it during this period.
Now they have officially entered the central area of the ruins.
The concentration of the power of death lingering here is much higher than that of the surrounding areas, reaching a level where a living person like Ivan, who is surrounded by the power of death, would feel slightly uncomfortable.
The powerful power of death can easily breed more powerful undead. Even ordinary resurrected skeletons are stronger than those on the outside.
Therefore, under Ivan's order, system soldiers were very careful when exploring the central area.
And precisely because of being careful enough, the newly born team of 003 and the Crypt Spider succeeded in detecting the existence of a powerful undead before the enemy discovered themselves.
It was a skeleton knight wearing black full-body armor and riding on a six-legged alien skeleton horse.
Standing in the heavy rain, it is like a statue, guarding the ruins of a villa for hundreds of millions of years.
A faint mist of death surges over its pure black skeletal body, like a suppressed extinct volcano, containing unusually surging power.
But to be honest, compared to the skeleton knight, Ivan who rushed to the scene was more concerned about the thing that seemed to be an "alien war horse".
Because this is the first "animal" he has discovered so far.
Unfortunately, from the current point of view, the animals transformed into undead skeletons seem to be no different from ordinary undead humanoid skeletons. I just don’t know why they are so rare.
"Master, No. 1 said that this enemy is very strong and completely different from the previous trash, so it wants to challenge the opponent in a one-on-one battle."
After hearing Held's words, Ivan, who was hiding and watching from a distance with a group of his men, subconsciously glanced at No. 1 next to him.
I saw this skeleton with no muscles in his brain, and a pair of eyes with blue fire, eagerly looking at the skeleton knight in the distance.
It has a posture of charging towards the enemy when it gives the order.
"Don't worry, let Xue Wu try this guy first."
Ivan complained in his mind, "Why are you, an undead, so passionate?" while waving to the silent "stone statue" behind him.
The gargoyle curled up like a real statue and dispersed [Stone Form], fanned its wings and instantly flew into the air, and then threw an energy blade at the skeleton knight who had discovered it.
Facing the sudden attack, the skeleton knight united his troops and horses, launched a direct charge to avoid the sharp blade, then looked up at the enemy in the air and let out a silent roar.
The blood mist's answer was an increasingly dense attack of energy blades.
The skeleton knight was forced to jump up and down on his alien skeletal horse for a moment, as if he was performing a tap dance on the spot.
Unable to bear this "insult", the Skeleton Knight suddenly raised the black sword in his hand, and the surging power of death suddenly condensed on his body, turning into a semicircular shield!
Although the shield only barely resisted the two energy blades and then disappeared, it still disrupted the rhythm that had been completely suppressed.
The Skeleton Knight took this opportunity to pick up a long bow made of spine ribs from his side, pulled the bow string made of death energy, and instantly shot an arrow at the enemy in the sky!
The death arrow mixed with a bone arrowhead broke through the rain curtain instantly and almost nailed the gargoyle's wings!
Intimidated by this blow, Gargoyle Blood Mist had to increase its flight altitude.
But in this way, the threat of the energy blade is greatly reduced, which instead gives the Skeleton Knight more opportunities to counterattack.
The two sides immediately started a crazy long-range shooting mode.
Originally seeing this scene, Ivan wanted to exhaust the Skeleton Knight's arrow reserves and then continue to kite him to death.
Unexpectedly, this guy would actually take the initiative to control the alien skeleton war horse that was sitting down, and let the alien war horse use its six bone claws to dig out some unlucky skeletons that were trapped under the rubble next to it.
Then, it volleyed out the bones of these unlucky people and turned them into white bone arrows for attack.
But it doesn't matter, in line with the concept that you pick a group of us in a one-on-one duel, after Ivan roughly determined the strength of the Skeleton Knight, he gave instructions to his other subordinates, and at the same time he summoned the human soldier armor to possess him, and then disappeared into the air in an instant.
Held and the Crypt Demon fired the first shot of the "regular duel" from a distance.
A powerful corrosive light ball and two earth element boulders that were thrown out from a distance flew towards the skeleton knight at the same time.
The skeleton knight hurriedly controlled the skeleton horse to dodge, but in the next moment, he saw a pale figure with an afterimage running towards him quickly.
It split the barrier of the rain curtain and hit the war horse hard!
Warrior - Charge!
The skeleton warrior, who has been instilled with endless fighting skills since his birth, wildly waved the bone sword in his hand, and with a spinning chop, he instantly beheaded the alien skeleton war horse that was already out of balance.
The Skeleton Knight instantly turned into a "wonderful warrior" and had to turn over and land on the ground. However, No. 1 was unyielding and followed up with a heroic strike.
Upon seeing this, the Skeleton Knight hurriedly parried, then dodged the "pussy kick" kicked by No. 1, and finally violently pushed No. 1 away.
Being pushed back a few steps, No. 1 simply took the initiative to distance himself, and then... various long-range attacks overwhelmed the Skeleton Knight again.
Strictly speaking, the strength of the Skeleton Knight is not much different from that of No. 1. In a one-on-one battle between the two, the result would probably be 4:6.
But as a group of system soldiers, under the orders of a shameless pseudo-hero, started to fight without any honor, the Skeleton Knight could only fail with great sorrow and indignation.
Caught off guard, they were bombarded by long-range attacks, and then No. 1 broke in again.
With one fatal blow, the long sword of the one-armed Skeleton Knight was directly chopped away. Then the Skeleton Warrior decisively launched a beheading attack and split the poor Skeleton Knight's head diagonally open!
The skull shattered, the soul fire dissipated, and the Skeleton Knight fell down with a look of death, falling into broken bones all over the ground.
A huge force of death rose from the broken bones, and then was about to dissipate into the air, but was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand.
"What a powerful power of death..."
Seeing this mass of ownerless death power that was almost uncontrollable, Ivan slowly lifted his invisibility and removed his heavy armor and decisively called Held to let him put this mass of energy away.
Afterwards, looking at the scattered bones at his feet, he couldn't help but think deeply.
Just as he was hiding nearby and observing the Skeleton Knight's battle at close range, he suddenly had some special inspiration.
As if the already extremely thin window paper had finally been pierced, Ivan tentatively stretched out his hand and grabbed the hollow skeleton horse from another world at his feet.
Suddenly, an unknown dark green power condensed in his palm, and then turned into a stream of light that was completely different from when he cast [Death Coil], continuously pouring into the skeletal war horse.
The skeleton horse, which was about to dissipate, immediately began to rapidly reorganize its shattered body after receiving the blessing of this power.
It even absorbed the scattered bones and black armor of the Skeleton Knight to further strengthen itself.
Realizing that his own strength might not necessarily be able to complete this evolutionary ceremony, Ivan simply threw the ownerless power of death into the alien skeleton war horse.
Accompanied by the terrifying green light, a brand new undead war horse, wrapped in thick armor and with green death fire lingering on its six sharp claws, suddenly stood up!
"Contract the undead, control the undead...that's it!"
Alvin closed his eyes and took advantage of this rare moment of enlightenment to try to consolidate his newly learned skills.
As for the otherworldly undead warhorse that had been re-contracted and given a new owner, it stood silently beside Ivan, using its nose bone to spray a provocative green flame at No. 1, who had almost killed him.
