Skeleton Blade Duke is a race title granted for instance when an undead awakens a superior Swordsmanship skill, and receives the divine protection of Xerx, the god of battle flags.[1]
"An ordinary progression would have caused him to become a Skeleton King, but he has become distinctly more powerful than a King of the same Rank. Normally, it is extremely rare for even demi-human monsters to awaken combat or magic-related superior Skills other than those boosting physical abilities such as Monstrous Strength; almost no monsters have achieved this. An exception is the small portion of races such as the Noble Orcs and High Goblins that possess near-human levels of intelligence. Also, there are few exceptions accounted for by those who possessed superior Skills while alive and then became Undead. Bone Man does not fall into either of these categories; he began as a Rank 1 Living Bones with rat spirits possessing the bones of a human, and now he has reached Rank 10 with an awakened superior Skill. He is such a rare case that it would be fitting for his name to be left in history."[1]
