Chương 181: About My Reincarnation as a Skeleton!

Deep within the Jura Forest, in the cave where the Storm Dragon is sealed.

When Yang Cheng, who was now just a skeleton, returned from the Chaos Space, an extremely terrifying amount of demonic energy immediately surged from his body.

Under the baptism of this powerful magical energy, his body began to change, even to the point of transformation!

[Ding! You have gained an excessive amount of magical power, greatly enhancing your life level. Your original race will begin to evolve!] The undead skeletons have begun to evolve—the undead skeleton swordsman.

With the appearance of the World Voice, Yang Cheng, whose body was originally just a skeleton, began to have more textured bones, and armor and swords began to appear on his body.

However, this is not the end; rather, it is only the beginning.

With the infusion of massive amounts of magical energy, a new world voice soon appeared in Yang Cheng's mind once again.

[Gaining an excess of magic energy greatly enhances one's life level, and existing races will undergo transformation and evolution.] The original race, the Undead Skeleton Swordsmen, began to evolve — Evolution complete, now a Rakshasa ghost race, and has acquired the Demon King race.

Gain the unique skill "Beater".

Gain the unique skill "King Spirit Master" Gain the skills "Magic Perception", "Magic Barrier", "Undead Fire", "Corpse Manipulation", "Fellowship Summoning", "Night Operation", "Dark Sky", and "Undead Creation" ———— A long string of world sounds, like chanting, kept ringing in Yang Cheng's mind.

At this moment, he had no time to pay attention to the extra, obviously impressive skills.

Because he discovered that as his life level increased and his race evolved, his body, which was originally just a skeleton, began to develop meridians and grow new flesh and blood under a burst of light!

"Aaaaaaahhhhh—!"

The moment Yang Cheng completed his racial evolution, because he was not yet used to controlling his own magic, an aura of the dead, like that of an abyss, instantly spread outwards from the center.

In just a moment, the vegetation within a radius of 100 meters around it withered almost instantly!

Even a snake-like magical beast that was originally attracted by the powerful magical energy on Yang Cheng's body was instantly reduced to bones under the control of this undead aura.

Seemingly realizing that his outward display of magic had a significant impact on his surroundings, Yang Cheng began to try to restrain his aura and magic.

[Gain the skill "Magic Manipulation"] [Gained the skill "Aura Concealment"] After suppressing his magic and aura and adjusting them to a normal level, Yang Cheng began to examine the various skills he had just acquired from the World Voice, which were presented like a menu.

First, there are two unique skills, "The Deceptive One" and "The King Spirit One." One is a unique skill he acquired as a reincarnated person, and the other is what he obtained when he became a demon king, a Rakshasa demon god.

The Living Devourer: As an undead creature born with the ability to inflict greater damage on the living and can devour living beings to strengthen itself.

King Spirit: The absolute king among the undead, who can arbitrarily dominate undead creatures of lower rank than himself, and can heal his own injuries or restore his magic power by devouring undead creatures.

Yang Cheng hasn't seen the other skills yet, but just these two unique skills alone, upon seeing their effects, can only be described as awesome.

If he doesn't mind being a major villain, he can use the "Destroyer of Life" to continuously devour living beings and grow stronger.

The other unique skill, "King Spirit Master," complements this perfectly. When controlling an army of undead, one can use the ability to devour undead to fight a protracted battle and to recover health.

As long as he continues to devour living beings and the dead on the battlefield, Yang Cheng is practically a perpetual motion machine. Those who fail to kill him directly will only make him stronger!

He recovers by devouring the dead, and becomes stronger by devouring living beings. In this way, he is simply a battlefield weapon that gets stronger the more he fights!

There are other skills as well, although they are not as exaggerated as the unique skills "Deceitful" and "King Spirit Master". Skills such as "Corpse Manipulation" and "Undead Creation" are also quite powerful.

It was also during Yang Cheng's evolution and transformation that, in a certain area deep within, Veldora, who was originally chatting with a ball of jelly, suddenly looked up in confusion in the direction where Yang Cheng was.

"I never imagined that in this cave, besides you Rimuru, there would be other monsters that also developed intelligence and, through their own power, achieved evolution at the level of life."

The Jura Forest, especially the cave where they were, was actually the sealed place of one of the four remaining "dragon species" in the world, known as the Cataclysmic Monster, the Storm Dragon Veldora.

Because it was sealed here by a former hero, Veldora constantly exudes magical energy, making the amount of magical energy in the entire cave very abundant.

Because of the abundant magical energy, many precious medicinal herbs and powerful monsters have grown in this cave.

However, due to their long-term growth in an environment rich in magic energy, coupled with the influence of Veldora's aura, these monsters, despite possessing powerful magic energy and high levels, are mindless monsters incapable of communication.

That's why Veldora, who had been sealed away for so many years and was already utterly desolate, was so happy to communicate with Rimuru when she saw him.

Later, upon learning that the other party was a "reincarnated person," they even exchanged names and shared the same surname, Trentist.

In order to be engraved in his soul as equal to Rimuru, Rimuru, who was given a name by him, also became a named monster, and thus became stronger.

Rimuru is a "reincarnated being," and his potential and strength are far beyond what ordinary native monsters can match.

Superior monsters in this world can "bestow a name" by sharing a portion of their magical essence, thereby making the other party stronger or even enabling them to evolve.

The stronger the superior species that bestows a name and the greater their magical energy, the more benefits the named monster will receive.

And he, Veldora Tempest, is one of the only four remaining dragon species. If he were to truly unleash his power, there would be no more than a handful of beings in this world who could rival him.

Despite his immense power, after giving the reincarnated Rimuru the name, Rimuru's magical energy was still less than that of an unknown being deep within the cave.

"Veldora, besides sealing you, did the hero seal away other monsters in this cave?"

Rimuru, who has mastered "magic perception", has also just sensed the powerful magical energy emanating from other directions in the cave.

Although his magic power was far less than that of Veldora, his "Great Sage" ability gave him a hint, indicating that with his current magic power and skills, if he encountered and fought the opponent...

The chance of defeat is 80%, the chance of successfully escaping is 50%, and the chance of being killed in action is 20%.
