Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: 10. Skull Heavy Hammer

After a moment of haziness, Noland Lee got the deconstruction result.

[Deconstruction Success!]

[The degree of deconstruction of the Big Skeleton has reached 100%.]

[You have gained all the information about this target.]

..

[Name]Big Skeleton

This is a large skeleton that is significantly larger than other Skeleton Warriors, with a height usually exceeding 3.5 meters and a weight of over 400 kilograms.

It possesses more significant physical destructive power. Although it moves very slowly, every attack is forceful and heavy.

Additionally, the Big Skeleton in front of you has the ability to cast spells that ordinary Skeleton Warriors do not have.

[Faction]Undead Cult

[Type]Undead Construct

Undead Creatures of this type must have four features:

Bloodless, Fear Aura, Constant Morale, and Death Magic Protection.

[Hierarchy]Low-level Undead Creatures

Undead Creatures of this level do not have minds, autonomy, or the ability to think. They can only react to external factors according to the action strategies set by the summoners.

[Construct Value]3000/3000 points

Destroying its skeleton integrity can reduce its construct value. When the construct value reaches zero, it will enter a temporary slumber state where it cannot take any actions.

[Soul Strength]1 point

As long as the soul is not extinguished, Undead Creatures will not truly die.

The soul is the core of Undead Creatures.

Its importance is equivalent to the blood volume of humans.

If you destroy its soul, reducing its soul strength to zero, you can truly kill Undead Creatures.

[Death Energy]10/10 points

Death Energy is the energy source for Undead Creatures, equivalent to the physical and mental energy of humans.

Attacking, moving, defending, and casting death-related spells all require the consumption of Death Energy.

Slumber can restore Death Energy.

[Features]

Bloodless:

The Big Skeleton does not have flesh and blood, making it immune to bleeding effects and all attacks and negative effects specifically targeting flesh and blood creatures.

Fear Aura:

The Big Skeleton constantly causes fear effects on living beings with minds. Fortunately, due to your vast experience, you have developed immunity to the terrifying appearance of Undead Constructs.

Constant Morale:

Big Skeletons do not have minds, so they will not lose morale due to severe casualties. They will fight until the last moment.

Death Magic Protection:

When the Big Skeleton is under the influence of the Spirit Pivot, it will slowly revive after its Construct Value reaches zero.

[Knowledge]

This target has no mind, and you cannot acquire its knowledge.

[Memory]

This target has no mind, and you cannot acquire its memory.

[Skills]

Active Skills:

Death Pulse, Level 1, death-related spells.

Consume 5 points of Death Energy to release a pulse ray containing Death Energy at the target.

Before casting, you need to prepare the spell for 3 seconds. If attacked during the preparation period, the casting will be interrupted.

Passive Skills:

Close Combat Mastery, Level 10.

Strong physical close combat ability. It only takes three hits to end your life.

Sturdy Bones, Level 16.

Very strong physical defense ability. Only large-caliber rifle bullets and weapons of equal power can effectively damage it.

Mindless, highest level.

No mind means it cannot be controlled mentally. The Big Skeleton is immune to fear, charm, illusion magic, psychic spells, and blocks its own knowledge and memories.

Undead Revival, highest level.

The Big Skeleton is under the influence of the Spirit Pivot. When its Construct Value reaches zero, it is expected to rejoin the battle after approximately 3 hours of slumber.

Fast Integration, Level 3.

Solely breaking apart the Big Skeleton’s bones will not cause any effective damage. If its bones are scattered, the Big Skeleton would only take 5 minutes to reassemble itself and rejoin the battle.

[Summoning Requirements]

1. Summoning Materials

Ordinary materials: 3000 Low-grade Necromantic Bones, 3 kilograms of Bone Melting Powder…

Core materials: 1 Pure Bone Token, used to record the summoner’s action instructions.

2. Summoning Ritual

Low-grade Necromantic Construct Summoning Array. After obtaining the blueprint for this spell array, the Panel Information will be updated in sync.

[Weaknesses]

One-hit-kill Weakness:

Using death-related spells or items to break down the Big Skeleton’s soul can create a one-hit-kill effect.

Fatal Damage Weakness:

Dense barrages of large-caliber rifle bullets or attacks of equivalent power can effectively damage the Big Skeleton and reduce its Construct Value.

Action Hindrance Weakness:

The Big Skeleton will only attack non-Undead Cult faction living beings.

When you chant the Undead Cult’s prayers, show Undead Runes, or perform the Undead Cult’s prayer rituals, the Big Skeleton may regard you as a living human who has submitted to the Undead Cult, and thus will not treat you as a target of attack.

…

Deconstruction thoroughly analyzed the Big Skeleton from top to bottom and inside out, presenting all the information Noland Lee needed.

Not only did it include the summoning method and materials for the Big Skeleton, but it also listed the weaknesses of the Big Skeleton.

Especially the last few lines of the Deconstruction result, they gave Noland Lee hope of survival.

Chanting the Undead Cult’s prayers and performing prayer rituals are definitely impractical because Noland Lee doesn’t know the pronunciation of the Undead Runes and is unclear about the ritual requirements.

However, there are Death Runes copied by the Intelligence Department 4 on the translated text of The Grudge Teachings.

It should be possible to deceive the Big Skeleton by gesturing with these copied characters.

Noland Lee tightened his lips, holding up the Coal Lamp with his right hand while silently stretching his left hand forward to gesture the Death Runes from his memory.
