Chapter 1071: Ronan's Methods and the Creation of the Bone Dragon
It took a whole week.
Only then did he pile up the relatively small White Dragon Bones.
In the valley.
Matthew rubbed his sore neck with one hand, and an infinite sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.
The completion rate of the white dragon skeleton was very high.
This laid a solid foundation for the successful completion of the Bone Dragon Summoning.
What was even more gratifying was that…
Matthew had used a lot of Mage's Hand, Pale Hand, and Astrid's Claw during the process of building the skeleton.
After a week of hard work.
He had unexpectedly mastered a new ability!
..
[Hand Skills: The flexibility and efficiency of the fingers of your biological hand and the fingers of your magic or ability hand have been greatly improved.]
When you frequently use Biological Finger, Mage's Hand, Astrid's Claw, and Equalization Hand.
You will slightly stimulate your spiritual power.
It also allowed your focus to slowly increase.
..
This was not a domain ability.
It was an ability that Matthew had mastered through accumulated practice!
This harvest was truly delightful.
One had to know.
Matthew knew how to cast spells with sign language!
The higher the dexterity of his fingers, the higher his spellcasting efficiency.
Moreover, this ability could actually stimulate the improvement of concentration.
"I must continue to practice my hands diligently in the future!
"I can't be too lazy. I can't leave everything to my undead!"
Matthew told himself in his heart.
After building the skeleton.
The second step of creating the bone dragon was also a very important step.
Looking for a suitable soul.
This was also an important feature that made the skeletal dragon different from other undead.
The Soul-Fire of the Bone Dragon required a complete soul to light up.
As for the undead, like the Dark Warrior.
As long as the necromancer awakened the spirituality of the corpse, it would be enough to ignite the soul fire.
The difference between the two also determined the fundamental difference between the skeletal dragon and the middle-level undead like the dark warrior.
The most powerful bone dragon's soul fire must be ignited by a dragon's soul.
This was the case for Phily.
The reason why he was so powerful was because his huge skeleton contained a genuine dragon soul!
On the other hand, some Bone Dragons only had the combat strength of Tier 4 or even Tier 3.
Many times, it was because the soul fire was too weak.
However, the masters of the bone dragons could not be blamed for this.
Where would an ordinary necromancer find a dragon soul?
Most of them were looking for substitutes.
For example, the souls of the earth dragons, dinosaurs, sub-dragons, and even some ferocious beasts.
The most ridiculous bone dragon recorded in history was created by a non-death mage.
The latter used the soul of a hunting dog to ignite the Bone Dragon Soul Fire.
That hound was a mage's pet.
To commemorate this pet, the mage killed a dragon and tried to stuff the soul of the hound into the dragon's skeleton.
He had succeeded.
But he had failed.
The key to success was that the bone dragon had indeed moved.
The point of failure was…
The Bone Dragon had only survived for seven seconds in this world.
This was obvious.
The strength of the Soul-Fire is important to the skeletal dragon.
The soul of the sub-dragon species could only accommodate and not control the body of the bone dragon.
Only the soul of a true dragon could match perfectly!
Regretfully.
Matthew did not have the ability to extract the soul of a true dragon.
Only a Legend could do it.
Thus, he could only settle for the next best thing.
He tried to summon the souls of some sub-dragons or dinosaurs from the underworld.
He planned to use that to ignite the bone dragon's soul fire.
Very quickly.
Matthew set up a soul-summoning array in the middle of the valley.
The formation pointed at the Netherworld's Poisonous Dragon Island.
That was the place where the Sub Dragon species went to after death.
He planned to try his luck.
Accompanied by the sound of an incantation.
The light from the magic formation gradually condensed into a clear outline.
However, at the next moment.
Matthew was surprised.
This was because the soul he summoned did not belong to a wyrm or a dinosaur.
It was a humanoid soul.
"Hello, Matthew."
Viscount Fan, who had come uninvited, gave him a friendly smile.
