After sorting through the inherited knowledge, Chen Xu took out the Mind-Calming Tea he had swiped from Zhang Jingping, boiled some water, and brewed a pot.
A massive amount of knowledge had been instantly funneled into his mind. Although there was no pain, his head felt heavy and swollen, and he hoped the tea would help.
Carrying the teapot, he walked onto the fortress walls.
From the Ancient Battlefield, he summoned two skeleton soldiers, two skeleton archers, two skeleton mages, and one skeleton priest.
With his skill levels increased, he had several vacant skeleton hero slots that had not yet been filled.
Since he had a moment of peace, he decided to convert them.

【Skeleton hero conversion successful. Obtained skeleton hero, Type: Shadow Mage. Please provide a name.】
【Skeleton hero conversion successful. Obtained skeleton hero, Type: Necrotic Priest. Please provide a name.】
"For the two skeleton warriors, let's continue the sequence: Bone Guard Five and Bone Guard Six."
"As for the archers, Vidala and Aevina."
"For the mages, let's just go with Shadow and Bone."
Chen Xu couldn't think of any famous mage names on the spot, and with his head throbbing, he didn't feel like straining his brain further.
"The remaining priest will be Zul."
"Praise my Lord!" * 7
Clutching the teapot, he took a sip of the tea while rubbing his temples, then began to check the status panels of each hero.
【Skeleton Hero: Bone Guard Five (Level 1)】
【Skills: Shield of Sighs, Solid Defense, Vow of Substitution】
【Shield of Sighs (Level 1): The skeleton hero raises its shield to block and absorb all incoming attacks from the front.】
【Solid Defense (Level 1): The skeleton hero merges itself into its great shield, activating the shield's second form to become an all-around protective barrier.】
【Vow of Substitution (Level 1): The skeleton hero pledges its loyalty to a target. When the target receives a lethal attack, the skeleton hero dies in its place. (Currently forcibly bound to the Lord of the Undead)】
Bone Guard Five was roughly four meters tall. The great shield on its back was six meters long and four meters wide, looking like a massive door. Based on its skills, it was a pure tank.
However, since Chen Xu already had life-saving skills, the role of a tank wasn't particularly vital for him.
【Skeleton Hero: Bone Guard Six (Level 1)】
【Skills: Concussive Hammer, Seven-Star Smash, Bone Crush】
【Concussive Hammer (Level 1): The skeleton hero puts all its strength into swinging its great hammer against the ground, creating a violent shockwave.】
【Seven-Star Smash (Level 1): The skeleton hero has mastered the great hammer. While dealing damage to a target, it also inflicts an armor-shredding effect.】
【Bone Crush (Level 1): The skeleton hero's attacks have a chance to inflict a stun effect.】
Bone Guard Six was a traditional, high-output brute force warrior. Standing three meters tall and wielding a six-meter hammer, it looked quite incongruous. He wondered what it would look like in actual combat.
【Skeleton Hero: Vidala (Level 1)】
【Skills: Mobile Shot, Guided Arrow, Fan of Knives】
【Mobile Shot (Level 1): The skeleton hero can perform precision shots while moving.】
【Guided Arrow (Level 1): The skeleton hero uses magic to empower an arrow, allowing it to automatically track your target.】
【Fan of Knives (Level 1): A veteran of countless battles, the skeleton hero has honed its close-quarters combat techniques. It instantly fires a ring of small bone knives at surrounding enemies.】
【Skeleton Hero: Aevina (Level 1)】
【Skills: Tracking Arrow, Arrow Rain, Heart Arrow】
【Tracking Arrow (Level 1): The skeleton hero fires a tracking arrow that automatically pursues an enemy, attacking up to three times.】
【Arrow Rain (Level 1): The skeleton hero infuses an arrow with magic and fires it into the sky, raining down arrows upon the battlefield.】
【Heart Arrow (Level 1): Guided by the Mind's Eye, the arrows fired cannot be evaded.】
The two archer heroes were fairly standard.
Chen Xu noticed that only the warrior-type skeleton heroes had very distinct individual characteristics. The archers and mages seemed more generic.
【Skeleton Hero: Shadow (Level 1)】
【Skills: Wither, Festering Swamp, Shadow Binding】
【Wither (Level 1): The skeleton hero condenses shadow magic and injects it into a target, accelerating their aging.】
【Festering Swamp (Level 1): The skeleton hero uses shadow energy to corrode the ground, creating a swampy area filled with necrotic power.】
【Shadow Binding (Level 1): A master of shadow magic and an expert at manipulating shadows, the hero can use the power of shadows to bind enemies, rendering them immobile.】
【Skeleton Hero: Bone (Level 1)】
【Skills: Bone Spear, Bone Spirit, Bone Dislocation】
【Bone Spear (Level 1): Fires a spear made of bone. Upon impact, it shatters into numerous fragments, dealing massive splash damage.】
【Bone Spirit (Level 1): The skeleton hero condenses a tireless bone spirit that automatically tracks enemies and deals massive explosive damage.】
【Bone Dislocation (Level 1): The skeleton hero uses magic to crush and twist the enemy's bones from a distance.】
【Skeleton Hero: Zul (Level 1)】
【Skills: Whisper of the Dead, Confuse, Lower Resistance】
【Whisper of the Dead (Level 1): The skeleton hero whispers necrotic incantations, bestowing a blessing upon surrounding undead creatures to briefly increase their defense.】
【Confuse (Level 1): The skeleton hero curses an enemy, causing them to randomly attack surrounding targets.】
【Lower Resistance (Level 1): The skeleton hero curses an enemy, lowering their magic resistance and increasing the magic damage they take.】
Zul's skills reminded Chen Xu of a special combination mentioned in the inherited knowledge.
Supposedly, a previous Lord of the Undead had been inspired by special creatures like two-headed ogres and used them as a template to create a two-headed skeleton caster.
Since priests were also casters, that Lord of the Undead had built an entire army of two-headed mage-priests.
The priest's curses combined with the mage's spells could easily tear through any invading enemy.
Even natural casters like Hell Banshees were no match for them.
Seeing Zul's resistance-lowering curse gave Chen Xu the idea to create his own unit of two-headed skeleton casters.
"But the specific knowledge for modifying such top-tier units won't be unlocked until the mythic-tier. The priority right now is still to reach the mythic-tier as quickly as possible."
After waving his hand to send these skeleton heroes over to Xuan Chu, Chen Xu walked toward the Ghost Factory.
The automated assembly line had been running for a while now, so there should be some output by now.
As he entered the factory and looked toward the final product area, his eyes lit up.
"It's actually this thing!"
