Many of these abilities turned out to be quite useful to me. One of the most effective was [Lesser Giant Generation] which took nearly thirty seconds to use, all the while a large black mass began to form.
After that, three different beings formed, the first was a two and a half meter Ogre, the second was a four meter Troll and the final was a thirteen meter Fomorian. The latter can't be compared to the Giant King though.
All three species were significantly stronger than the usual Skeletons that I would create, though just as my Skeletons, their skin was black.
I have to mention, in a great contrast to the Black Skeletons, these giants were, for a lack of kinder words, quite stupid.
These things can only really be compared to dolls. If I don't give them orders, they do not move.
They just carry dull expressions on their faces. Luckily, at least they respond to orders. If they hadn't, then this skill would have been worthless.
Moving on, in order to celebrate Redhead's receiving of her new job [Job-Sacred Beast Eater], I gave her the standard [Rank Up] gift of three magical items.
The first was [General's Cleaver] which was shaped somewhat like a square Chinese Kitchen Knife with a length of roughly 80 centimeters. It is white without any spots on it with the blade itself cutting through flesh like butter.
The second was [General's Shield], a triangular kite Shield which, when not being used, shrunk down to fit into the palm of your hand.
Finally, there was a suit of white and gold armor with a red cape. It's similar to that of the noble knights of the Kingdom or empire. The name of the armor is [Platinum General], and this set had probably been originally made for a high ranking general to wear.
After arming Redhead, I asked her to cut off the Black Ogre's hand.
As a result, in a flash, Redhead had severed the hand, with blood spurting out through the wound.
Still, there was no reaction from the Ogre. He just continued to stand there with his silly smile without his hand, bleeding everywhere.
Even with this, it would seem that these things will not move on their own.
After I examined them in great detail, I determined that they would never move unless I ordered them to do so.
In addition, apart from the basic commands such as "Fight" or "Flight" commands, using "Fight with all your might" or "Run until you're dead" seems to have a greater effect. It would appear that the more detailed the order, the stronger and more complex they become.
With this, the experience gained is both higher and comes faster if I use more details. It also becomes safer, especially if I give orders such as "Fight at full strength, but do not kill your opponent" when having them spar.
Of course, the Fomorian is still far too much for everyone to fight alone, but the Ogre and Troll are both fine.
Though, even though they are strong, there are still weaknesses to this ability.
First, to call them instantly, it requires the same Mana equal to that of instantly creating 50 Skeletons. While at night, this isn't a problem. I can always just absorb new Mana with my ability so it's not a big deal. Though even then, that level of instant absorption of my Mana causes some wooziness.
I need to keep in mind that in battle, if it's not dark, then I should avoid using it. That, or use it before a battle.
Second, each of them are quite slow compared to the Black Skeletons, both in speed and cast time, but spending 30 seconds to create something as powerful as the Fomorian is not as great of a weakness as one would think.
Third, the need to give them orders for everything.
If I cannot give them orders, they become a hindrance on the battlefield. If you aren't able to avoid them, they might become an obstacle for our maneuvers.
Though, them becoming expendable pawns to distract the enemy is quite useful. I have to add that the last one is also not that terrible of an issue.
Using it in combination with [Summon Lesser Undead], there shouldn't be any major problems arising.
As for Redhead, there are no complications with her life expectancy with her new abilities, so I'm quite looking forward to seeing her in action.
As for myself, I decided to test one of my abilities on a species around this area called [One-eyed Cyclops]. The ability I was using was [Deadly Evil Eye].
I tried it on the beast, and, as the ability's name suggests, the Cyclops died just from my gaze.
I can't tell what really happened, but at the same time, various animals in my gaze also began to drop dead. I quickly closed my eyes and disabled the ability before someone important is affected.
There were no wounds on the bodies, they just fell over and died.
I think I really need to hold back on this one. If, by chance, it hits my allies or if I see a mirror, it won't be a laughing matter.
I'll just keep this as a secret weapon. Hopefully, it will be enough.
Next on the list was [Giant King's Iron Hammer] and [Obliterating Strike].
